King of Industry

On the top floor of the Songqi Group Hotel, Zhao Guoyang and Bai Rou are having a drink with Chairman Mao.

Mr. Bai, I'd like to toast you again! I wish you and 'Rongguang Co., Ltd.' continue to be brilliant in SJ!

Looking at the generous and decent Bai Rou beside Zhao Guoyang, Mao Zhichun solemnly raised his cup and said.

Thank you, Chairman Mao! Please take care of me in the future! Bai Rou clinked glasses with Mao Zhichun with a sweet smile, and drank the wine in one gulp.

As far as Bai Rou's outfield is concerned, it is absolutely impeccable. Even if Zhao Guoyang met many social experts before his rebirth, he couldn't find anything wrong with Bai Rou.

Looking at the two chatting happily, Zhao Guoyang murmured in his heart, it seems that it is really right to bring Sister Bai to this meal today.

After chatting with Bai Rou about business issues, Mao Zhichun turned his attention to Zhao Guoyang.

Brother Guoyang, in the past year, the sales performance of our 'Songqi Group' has made great progress. The sales volume of 'New Santana' alone has increased by 70%. Among them, my brother You are absolutely indispensable!

While talking, Chairman Mao took out a red envelope, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Zhao Guoyang.

This is the year-end reward for the executives of our 'Songqi Group'. Brother Guoyang, you, a 'special researcher', enjoy the treatment of executives, so you also have a share!

When Mao Zhichun said this, Zhao Guoyang didn't refuse much, and thanked Chairman Mao with a smile, and then took it.

His neat approach made Mao Zhichun appreciate it very much.

After eating some food, Mao Zhichun changed the topic to the new year, the development of Songqi Group.

He looked at Zhao Guoyang expectantly and said, Brother Guoyang, our 'Songqi Group' tasted the sweetness from Volkswagen Latin America last year, and we plan to continue to cooperate with them this year to develop a new product. I don't know what you think of this plan , how do you see it?

After listening to Chairman Mao's question, Zhao Guoyang said with a huh and said: This plan is completely feasible! The speed of product replacement in the international auto market is very fast. In the past year alone, several auto giants Introduced a new product.

For example, Toyota's new 'Corolla', the third generation of Volkswagen's 'Polo', and the second generation of 'Buick Regal' by General Motors of the United States have all launched one after another.

Zhao Guoyang touched his nose and said: Although these new cars have not yet entered our Chinese market, but with the acceleration of our country's reform and opening up, I think the restrictions on imported vehicles will definitely be further reduced in the future. Competition is in Inevitably...

Therefore, taking advantage of our Songqi Group's thriving in the domestic compact car market, it is still necessary to develop as many products as possible to cope with the competition that may come at any time!

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's analysis, Mao Zhichun nodded in agreement.

Yes, Brother Guoyang. When I had a meeting with President Wu of FAW in Beijing last month, I heard from the leaders of the national ministries and commissions that next year our domestic auto market will not only introduce a few imported models from outside, but also It is possible to form a joint venture with several other auto giants.

It seems that Second Automobile, Yangcheng Automobile Company, and Jinling Automobile Group may be involved.

If these domestic companies really let go of their hands and feet to do this, the leading edge of our 'Songqi Group' and 'FAW' will be in jeopardy...

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang responded in agreement: That's right, the 'Songqi Group' and the 'FAW Group' can be said to be the first among our Huaxia automobile manufacturers to have the big crab of 'Sino-foreign joint venture'.

The Second Automobile Company and the Yangcheng Automobile Company see that you are full of oil, how could they not be envious. Therefore, their further cooperation with foreign automobile companies is almost foreseeable.

Not only these large automobile manufacturing enterprises, but also some humble local enterprises and private enterprises may also take advantage of this wave of rapid automobile development and get a share of this market!

Hearing Zhao Guoyang's analysis, Mao Zhichun nodded vigorously in agreement.

The boss said worriedly: Brother Guoyang is right! Although our 'Songqi Group' is temporarily ahead of several major domestic automobile manufacturers due to the rapid development of the past two years. But this The advantage is that it can be made up in a very short period of time.

At the year-end summary meeting of our 'Song Automobile Group' two days ago, I talked to the company's senior executives and middle-level cadres. Let everyone have a sense of urgency, and if you can't just rest on the credit book Work done!

But even so, without a systematic development plan, I'm always a bit uncertain...

Having said that, Mao Zhichun gritted his teeth, looked at Zhao Guoyang and said, Brother Guoyang, I know that you have already helped our 'Songqi Group' a lot, and you are also a member of the 'FAW Group' and the 'Jinling Automobile Group'. The company's special researcher, it's not good to favor one over another.

But I still want to beg you, give us 'Songqi Group' the pulse, and formulate a long-term development plan! At least, we have to maintain our rapid growth momentum for a few years, right?

Seeing Chairman Mao's earnest eyes, Zhao Guoyang put away his smile and turned serious.

He nodded slightly and said, Chairman Mao, I understand your worries. In fact, even when I was busy in North America and Africa some time ago, I have been concerned about the development of 'Songqi Group'.

After tidying up his arguments, Zhao Guoyang went on to say: Actually, according to the current development momentum of the 'Songqi Group', even if a relatively conservative development outline is adopted, within the next five years, it will occupy the leading position in the domestic automobile manufacturing industry. There will be no suspense.

However, as I just said, the development speed of the international auto industry is quite fast. Even the 'Songqi Group' has maintained its leading position in China, but if it is only satisfied with the status quo, the future and the developed For those automakers in the country, the gap must be widening.

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang took a serious look at Mao Zhichun and said, I think Chairman Mao definitely doesn't want to play the role of a 'Word', but he also wants to push his company's products to the international market, right?

When Mao Zhichun heard this, he slapped his thigh hard and said, That's right, that's right! Brother Guoyang, what you said really touched my heart!

Actually, after I went to Czechoslovakia with you last time, Lao Wu from FAW and I both felt the same way - the level of our domestic automobile industry is still too backward.

Mao Zhichun sighed a little dejectedly and said: At the automobile industry conference in Prague, no one took a look at me and Lao Wu, the bosses of two of the top automobile manufacturing companies in China. It’s just so frustrating.”

If it weren't for you, brother Guoyang, to turn the tide, our Huaxia delegation would never have won the favor of 'Skoda Automobile Company'. With the technical strength of our 'Songqi Group' and 'FAW Group' alone, in front of other European and American car giants , there is no competitiveness at all...

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang smiled and comforted: Chairman Mao, don't underestimate yourself too much. At least our 'New Santana' has gained some international fame. When I visited Africa last time, I was in A country has seen our car!

Mao Zhichun shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, and said, Brother Guoyang, you don't know about this. Those 'New Santanas' in African countries were sent by our 'Songqi Group' to support the national aid project in Africa. , it was not sold there through sales channels at all!

Uh, so that's the case...

There was a big oolong, and Zhao Guoyang didn't feel any embarrassment.

He said in a serious manner: In any case, our Songqi Group must not only base itself on the domestic market in its future grand strategy, but must also pay attention to the international market!

That's right, that's what I mean!

Mao Zhichun nodded vigorously and said, So I invite brother Guoyang to come here today, and I have another question. I just want to ask you to help me to see if we can launch a product that can sell well in the domestic market and open up the international market. Market model!

When Mao Zhichun said this, Zhao Guoyang roughly guessed what he meant.

Needless to say, Chairman Mao definitely hopes that he can help and participate in the design of a new model.

Wanting to understand this, Zhao Guoyang smiled wryly and said, Chairman Mao, it's really not that I don't want to help with this matter. It's that there are still some deficiencies in the matching of our domestic vehicle parts.

Even if I can design a model with an excellent appearance that is more suitable for the international market, without the corresponding hardware support, it will be of no avail.

Zhao Guoyang said earnestly: What's more, foreigners don't pay the most attention to the appearance of the vehicle, but they pay more attention to the workmanship and details. So at this stage, it is necessary to design a car that can be used both domestically and internationally. It is almost impossible to find a hot-selling model in the big market.

Hearing this, Mao Zhichun was a little unconvinced and said: Brother Guoyang, I admit that what you said is reasonable. The quality of our domestic auto parts is definitely not as good as the products imported from abroad.

However, as long as we design the car, we can import parts from abroad. As long as the assembly is in our Songqi Group, won't the problem be solved?

Zhao Guoyang shook his head lightly and said, Chairman Mao, the matter is not that simple. The price of auto parts imported from abroad is too high. If you really want to buy them all, the cost may increase by 70 to 80 percent.

In addition, even if we spend a lot of money to produce this high-quality model, but its core engine, shock absorption, braking and other important system components all have to be imported, which is the same as importing a foreigner's car. What's the difference.

Even if this car is a success, it definitely cannot be regarded as the success of our Huaxia Automobile Industry?

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but spread his hands and said: What's more, if it's really like this, I might as well open a car design company to design the appearance of foreigners' cars, and save a lot of trouble ...
