The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Early the next morning, after the inspection team had breakfast, they divided into two groups.The tour guide hired by Jurgen's company took Yan Wenhan and a translator to travel around.The Automobile City is adjacent to Lake Huron, one of the five Great Lakes in the United States. This season is a good time to go to the lake for vacation.

Under the leadership of Bai Shuguang and Lin Zhiyuan, the large team visited the three major automobile manufacturers one by one according to the previously established inspection route.

The first car company they went to was the famous Ford Motor Company.

Ford Motor Company is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world. It was founded in 1903 and owns the Ford and Lincoln automobile brands.

Although Ford Motor's business has gradually declined in recent years due to the impact of Dongsang Automobile, it is undeniable that it is still one of the most well-known car companies in the world.

The entire Ford company attached great importance to the visit of the leather steel sales team and sent an executive vice president to accompany it throughout the entire process.

Because Ford has realized that if it wants Ford to grow and regain its past glory, it cannot just focus on Citigroup, but should vigorously expand its business in emerging markets.

Under the guidance of this strategy, Ford Company actively developed business contacts with China. On February 1994, 2, Ford China Business Department was established.

This year, Ford is preparing to open a branch in China to further expand its business in China.

Therefore, the visit of the leather steel sales team comes at the right time. In the future, all the automotive steel needed for the production of Ford Branch in China can be purchased from leather steel.

Moreover, the leather steel product quality inspection report submitted by Jurgen Company previously also impressed the executives of Ford Company.

It can be seen from the report that the quality of the steel produced by Leather Steel can fully meet Ford's standards, and the price is less than half the price of Citi's domestically produced steel. Even including shipping costs, it is more cost-effective than purchasing steel domestically.

After seeing the leather steel product quality inspection report provided by Jurgen Company, Ford Company specially held a board meeting.

Some directors also raised questions on the spot and did not trust the quality of China's steel products.

"Gentlemen, I think it is a big joke that we are sitting here discussing this issue today. When will China be able to produce steel for automobiles? Isn't it still an agricultural country?"

In response to the director's questioning, Chairman Ford stood up against all objections. He took out the contracts signed by Lesteel Steel with many automobile manufacturers, "Gentlemen, I am simply surprised by your stubbornness and ignorance. It is already [-]." Five years later, there are still people whose impression of that Eastern country is stuck in the last century. China is undergoing an unprecedented industrial change. You may think that the quality inspection report is fake, but these contracts are real. Volkswagen , Peugeot, Suzuki, and even our old rival Chrysler in China all use leather steel galvanized sheets for automobiles, and their products are also exported to Dongsang and Korea. I don’t think so many car manufacturers are fools. , will select products with substandard quality. There is no doubt about the quality of the steel produced by Leather Steel."

Old Ford had supreme prestige in the board of directors. When he spoke, other directors did not dare to speak out, and the conference room was silent.

Old Ford paused and continued in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, our branch in China will be opened in October this year. Ford will invest more and more in China. It is very important to choose a local raw material supplier in China." It is very important. This is related to Ford's entire China strategy. You may have never heard of Le Gang, but let me tell you that Le Gang is the largest and earliest steel company in China, equivalent to Citigroup's Carnegie. Steel, I think it is necessary to choose this partner.”

After some impassioned speeches by Ford, the board of directors unanimously approved the adoption of galvanized sheets made of leather steel.

This led to the high-standard reception of the leather steel sales team.

Old Ford had no choice but to do this.

After entering the 90s, American cars were defeated by Japanese cars and were retreating steadily.

Japanese cars quickly occupied the Citi market with their advantages of energy saving and low price.

If American cars want to turn around, they must start a revolution of their own, and choosing cheaper automotive steel is crucial.

Lin Zhiyuan's previous analysis was correct at all. The arrival of the leather steel sales team attracted the attention of Citi's three major automobile manufacturers. The high-quality and low-priced China Steel has entered the vision of these automobile giants.

From the moment the sales team stepped onto the plane, they were destined to set off a sales frenzy across Citiland.

When the leather steel sales team entered Ford Motor's headquarters, they were greeted by about twenty white people holding bouquets of flowers in their hands and saying the words "welcome" in a broken pronunciation.

Mr. Thomas, the vice president of Ford Motor Company, personally stood in front of the door to greet him and gave the leather steel sales team the greatest respect.

Peng Ji is the head of the sales department, and Bai Shuguang is the manager of the International Trade Company. Neither of them are newbies on the sales front. They are used to seeing all kinds of scenes. However, in a foreign country, in a Citi country where white people are everywhere, they can receive such courtesy. This was really the first time, and it was beyond their expectations.

Thomas personally led the sales team to visit Ford Motor Company's headquarters, and then invited them to visit Ford's factory in Auto City.

Everything was normal at first, but outside the factory, the sales team encountered an episode.

Two homeless men who looked like they had drunk some wine brandished baseball bats and rushed towards the two sales team members who were lagging behind, shouting: "Dongsang people, you are not welcome here."

These two homeless men were tall and fierce, and they frightened the two salespeople at that time.

They don't understand English either. I wonder what these two people are shouting?

Fortunately, the two homeless men made too much noise and alerted the rest of the sales team who were walking in front.

Lin Zhiyuan heard the sound, turned around and ran back, loudly scolding the two homeless people in English, "Stop, you are committing a crime!"

Thomas, Jack, and international student Wang Tong all broke out in a cold sweat. They followed Lin Zhiyuan and ran towards the two homeless people.

Thomas, who knew the inside story best, ran and shouted, "Stop, they are not Dongsang people, they are Chinese who are here to help us. They want to sell us cheaper steel for automobiles. With these steels, our lives will be difficult." It will be easier."

Hearing Thomas's cry, the two homeless men realized that they had identified the wrong person, put away their baseball bats, and left quickly.

Everyone was frightened. Thomas apologized and explained, "Gentlemen and ladies, I'm really sorry. The two people just now were former workers of the factory. Because of the decline in production and poor profits, they They were laid off, and they think it was the Dongsang people who took away their jobs, so they hate the Dongsang people from the bottom of their hearts. They just misunderstood you as Dongsang people."
