If you cheat, money will follow

After Yin Tongyue and his assistant left, Zeng Xi called and reported the incident to Chang Le.

Chang Le was sleeping at home when he received the call.

The spring breeze is blowing, the spring cold is gone, neither cold nor hot, neither stuffy nor dry, what are you doing if you don't sleep?

After hanging up the phone, Chang Le rushed to the company, entered Zeng Xi's office, and asked:

"What do you think of Yu Chengdong?"

"He? He said it very directly, he disagreed." Zeng Xi put down the document in his hand and said.

"Afraid of competition?"

"That's probably what he means. He said that Leda Automobile has not been established for a long time, and it will take time to further consolidate its technical advantages and brand image." Zeng Xi said.

"What's your opinion?" Chang Le asked again.

"Me? Of course I hope to promote it commercially on a large scale and earn more profits. After all, independent business is very easy to do." Zeng Xi said:

"But considering the characteristics of this material, there is no way to use it within a limited range."

"Sister Zeng, I think it is not a bad thing even if it is extended to a controllable third party." Chang Le thought.

Zeng Xi: "Is this considered from the perspective of the entire system?"

"Yes." Chang Le nodded: "You can look at it this way. From the perspective of Leda Automobile, the low cost and amazing properties of ceramic aluminum materials have given Leda Automobile a unique and unparalleled core advantage."

"Whether it is a large joint venture manufacturer or a large foreign brand, it will be difficult to compete with them in the short term."

"Even if materials with similar performance are used to build engines and gearboxes, the cost gap will be difficult to bridge..."

"From a consumer perspective, Leda Automobile's image of high performance, low fuel consumption, and strong stability has been established..."

The brand concept of "Technical Leda" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "

"It is precisely because of this that any product of Leda Auto is a hot seller and sought after once it is launched, with no competitors..."

"This is not a good thing in the long run."

Zeng Xi: "Isn't it a good thing?"

"It's not a good thing to a certain extent." Chang Le, wearing a casual suit without logo, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office with his hands in his pockets, looking out at the roaring river, and said lightly:

"Because there are no competitors, Leda Auto's management and engineers will slack off, and they are likely to become complacent, pretentious, and arrogant."

"Actually, Yu Chengdong has already mentioned this phenomenon to me."

Zeng Xi said: "I understand, boss."

"You hope to cultivate a controllable competitor through third-party supply, so that Leda Automobile can develop a sense of urgency and tension, creating a development trend of chasing each other."

"Yes! Abandoning the material of ceramic aluminum, Leda Automobile has no advantage compared with joint venture brands in terms of technology, and has limited advantages compared with independent brands." Chang Le nodded:

"A large amount of technology from Porsche and support from Continental and Schaeffler Group have not been fully digested. In short, our own efforts are not enough."

"It's feasible." Zeng Xi said.

"Moreover, putting aside the corporate perspective and looking at a higher dimension, if another domestic car is recognized by consumers and becomes a hot-selling product, whose market share will be squeezed?" Chang Le asked Zeng Xi.

"Joint venture brand! Because other domestic independent brands themselves do not have much market." Zeng Xi was sure.

"What if there are more?" Chang Le continued to ask.

"It is very likely that the domestic auto market will become the exclusive preserve of independent brands and will no longer be the main source of profits for joint venture brands and imported cars." Zeng Xi said.

"Yes! If such a market structure is formed, then joint venture brands and imported cars must produce products with consistent quality and price if they want to fully develop in the domestic market." Chang Le said:

"Unlike now, products with quality of tens of thousands can be sold for hundreds of thousands, while products with quality of 20 can be sold for more than 30, more than 40, or even more than [-]."

"Various quality problems have arisen. Not only have they not been resolved, they have also treated domestic consumers with an arrogant attitude."

"If such an effect can be achieved, it can indeed be promoted. However, the variables are large, it takes a long time, and the superiors may not necessarily agree." Zeng Xi said.

"Just because of Yin Tongyue's request, I can try it." Chang Le said:

"My point of view is the same as yours, I agree."

"But there are two conditions. First, the corresponding cost or price must be paid;"

"The second is whether the superiors agree. They will coordinate it themselves. We will not participate, support or refuse."

"Okay! I will give my feedback to him." Zeng Xi said.

…………

after one day.

Zeng Xi informed Yin Tongyue over the phone that he agreed in principle to supply the materials to Cheery.

However, whether it can be supplied smoothly requires Yin Tongyue to coordinate and fight for it, and Leda will not participate.

"Yes, thank you! Mr. Zeng, coordinate the work, and we will try our best to fight for it."

Yin Tongyue hung up the phone, looking excited and excited.

Although, it is still unknown whether coordination can be successful.

But at least the first step to success was taken.

"Chairman, have they agreed?" the assistant asked.

"Yes! But we need to fight for it. You book the nearest flight ticket now. We have to rush back to Wuzhou as soon as possible..." Yin Tongyue instructed:

"In addition, you arrange the company secretariat to prepare the request report materials."

"The third thing, you... forget it, I'll do it myself."

"Okay! Chairman, I have written it down and will arrange it immediately." After the assistant said this, he quickly walked out of the room.

After the assistant left, Yin Tongyue immediately made a call. When the call was connected, Yin Tongyue said immediately:

"Hey, Secretary Gao, I'm Tong Yue...hehe, where, where, thank you for your continued concern and support."

"That's right, are you in the office this afternoon? I have something very important to report to you, yes, very important."

"I'm in Jiangzhou now and will fly back to Wuzhou later."

"Okay! See you in the afternoon!"

Leda Investment.

Yu Chengdong came to Zeng Xi's office.

As soon as he opened the door, Zeng Xi stood up and welcomed Yu Chengdong in.

"Come on, Mr. Yu, come in quickly and please sit down!"

"Um...Mr. Zeng, I'm a little uncomfortable with you being so polite all of a sudden..." Yu Chengdong was halfway through speaking when something suddenly occurred to him and he said hurriedly:

"not……"

Zeng Xi smiled and nodded: "Your guess is correct, you must be mentally prepared."

Yu Chengdong felt nervous and asked cautiously: "Boss is not satisfied with our work?"

Zeng Xi shook his head: "Don't think wildly. So far, the boss is generally very satisfied with the development of Leda Automobile."

"He has recognized your work on many different occasions. The reason why he agreed was mainly due to other considerations."

"Of course, it's too early to say this now, and whether it will be successful or not is unknown."

"After all, the material is quite sensitive, and there are many factors to consider. However, I personally recommend that you prepare yourself mentally in advance."

Yu Chengdong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good! Thank you for the reminder."

"Actually, I'm mentally prepared."

"I also understand the decision-making of the parent company. From a development perspective, there is pressure only when there is competition, and there is motivation only when there is pressure."

"This can further mobilize the enthusiasm of employees. It is not a good thing to just sit on the Diaoyutai."

Zeng Xi nodded and said, "It would be better if you think so."

"Actually, I think that even if there is competition from another company, it may not be Leda Automobile's opponent."

"Just looking at the overall level, scale and work attitude of R&D personnel, it should not be of the same order of magnitude."

Yu Chengdong said: "Don't worry, please also tell the boss that Leda Automobile is always ready."

"In the second half of this year, we will launch a blockbuster new product, and the company unanimously believes that it will have a big impact on the new category."

"Okay! I will tell the boss and I will wait and see!" Zeng Xi smiled.
