Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 299 Mitsubishi Motors’ olive branch

Qiancheng Motor currently does not have a company intranet and cannot communicate internally, so problems with sales channels were not reported to the whole company and were only discussed in internal meetings. Qu Li was the first to admit his own problems and made major adjustments to distribution channels without considering the continuity before and after. , and then Xia Mingfei made a review.

What Qu Lizui is worried about is quality control, which is what He Qicheng is responsible for. Although Changfeng Automobile is said to be of military quality, it mostly boasts. If he really had the confidence to ensure quality, he would have promoted a three-year 10-kilometer warranty to enhance market competition. Stronger.

The test for Lu Tao is the previous Cheetah, and now the 72010 new Qiantu CS[-], allowing him to compete with the Qiantu Feiteng MPV led by Qu Li.After all, he is a talented person and somewhat arrogant. Even though Qu Li recruited many people who are better than him from North America, Lu Tao is still a little arrogant.

The test for He Qicheng is more complicated. How should production and quality control capabilities be proven?Therefore, the opportunities given to the three of them are actually not fair.I thought Xia Mingfei had the best chance, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to play it on his own.

Qu Li stayed in Xingsha to stabilize people's hearts. The easiest way was to isolate the news and prevent more people from knowing. This is a routine operation of many organizations, but the problem of Qiancheng Automobile cannot be solved in a day or two. Warn in advance, respond unchanged, and show your confidence and determination to more people.

At this time, people from Mitsubishi Motors came to visit again. The contract between Changfeng Motors and Pajero was about to expire. How to resolve the remaining contract? Should we continue to cooperate in the future?

"Aren't you going to cooperate with GAC?" Before Honor acquired Changfeng Motors, Mitsubishi's other domestic partner was Southeast Motors. Later, when they wanted to change partners, they seemed to have chosen GAC.

"I heard that Mr. Qu's Vision Investment has invested in Itochu Corporation?" Mitsubishi Motors came this time as a member of the board of directors of the head office, and it is said that he has a lot of power.

"Oh, you all know?" Qu Li remembered not disclosing the news.

"Vision Investment has entered the list of Itochu's top ten tradable shareholders..." What this person did not say was that they had investigated Qu Li's background in detail.

Qu Li is also quite embarrassed. Vision's shareholding ratio in Itochu does not seem to exceed 5%. How come it has entered the list of the top ten tradable shareholders? It will be much more troublesome to cash out in the future.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

"Establishing a joint venture."

"You guys have thought it over carefully. Guangzhou Automobile Group should be more suitable than Qiancheng Automobile."

"Qu is always good at creating miracles. We believe in the future of Qiancheng Motor..."

In fact, GAC has many partners. In addition to Honda and Toyota, which reached a cooperation agreement with Fiat this year, there are also many brands such as Hino.To put it bluntly, they are also given to big scumbags. The most favored ones are of course Honda and Toyota, and the others are just concubines.

"But Mitsubishi Motors doesn't have what we want." Qu Li said without hesitation that although Mitsubishi engine technology is good, they are all self-aspirated. Most of the best ones sold later were turbocharged. In this regard, Mitsubishi engines seem not as good as Chery's. .

"Mitsubishi has accumulated a lot of technology, which you may not understand..."

"Do you think Honor cares about how strong Nokia is?" Qu Li is really not interested.

"But who knows how long it will take to develop pure electric vehicles, whether it will be 5 years, 10 years or 20 years? Qiancheng Motor cannot remain unprofitable. Cooperating with Mitsubishi at least..."

It's not that Qu Li hates Mitsubishi Motors. Their cars are industry leaders in their segments, but...

"Is Mr. Qu interested in investing in Mitsubishi Motors?"

"Aren't we talking about cooperation?" Qu Li wondered

"What I mean is that Vision invests in Japan's Mitsubishi Motors." said the Japanese.

"Well, let me ask you a question, so you really want to cooperate with Qiancheng Motors?"

"No, establishing a joint venture automobile company in Zhongguo is the key point."

Qu Li was silent for a moment, feeling a little headache. Joint venture cars are currently the mainstream of the domestic automobile market, and making money through cooperation is now a high probability event. Changfeng Automobile has proven this by relying on Pajero to make money in the past.Mitsubishi chose Qiancheng Motors not because of its happy cooperation with Changfeng Motors, but because it couldn't get suitable conditions from GAC.

"How do you want to cooperate?" Qu Li asked

"First, each will hold 50% of the shares, and then we hope to take a dominant position in the joint venture. In addition..."

"Why don't you just set up a 100%-owned company in Zhongguo? There's no need to go to such trouble..." Qu Li didn't want to hear it, "Don't worry about Qiancheng Motors. Even if it loses 100 billion in ten years, I can persist... …”

"..." Japanese people feel that Qu Li is too disrespectful.

"If you want cooperation, you don't have to be special. We will follow the model of other joint ventures between China and Guo. It is not impossible for you to have actual control. Domestic restrictions in this area need to be relaxed..." Qu Li remembers Ten years later, Guojia allowed foreign-invested automobile companies to establish 100%-controlled automobile companies in China. Tesla was the first example.

"That's okay." The Japanese nodded in agreement.

"You also know that my goal is pure electric vehicles, so I will not invest too much energy in the joint venture. If you can provide suitable conditions, Qiancheng Motor will reduce its interference in the daily operations of the joint venture, unless there is internal chaos and quality problems." If the control is not in place, it will not be profitable in the long term..."

"..." The Japanese were a little confused: "What are the conditions?"

"The sales of Mitsubishi Motors are handled by Cheetah Motor Sales Company. I have no idea what models you are going to give to the joint venture. Isn't it just Pajero?" Qu Li

"If you really let us control..."

"It's impossible for you to control..."

"As long as Qiancheng Motor does not participate too much in the management of the joint venture, we will introduce most of the models into the Chinese market, including the localization of Pajero..." Japanese: "Because of Southeast Motors, it will mainly be SUVs at the beginning."

"Then how can we ensure that our interests are not damaged? If the joint venture does not make profits for a long time, won't our efforts be of no value?" Qu Li continued step by step.

"Then what conditions do you want?" Japanese

"Come up with a cooperation plan and let everyone discuss it slowly. How do I know this?"

"Okay, but I have one condition." Japanese

"You said."

"Mitsubishi Motors suffered serious losses due to the dilemma, and the joint venture's funds..."

Qu Li opened his eyes wide: "So you need long-term investment?"

"Not bad!"

No matter how you feel that Japanese people are shameless, Qu Li is not angry. He is just short of money. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. Capital is not a fool and will definitely measure the return on investment.

The Japanese people left Qiancheng Motors, and Qu Li and the others discussed it for a while in the company and felt that this matter was unreliable. Although their demands were different, Qiancheng Motors had a high probability of losing money this year, and Mitsubishi Motors was about the same.The automobile industry does not win from negatives to positives, so how can the losing alliance have so many chances to make a comeback.
