Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

7 PM!

Zhu Dong turned on the television.

Beside him were several senior executives from Tianjing City Dafa Auto City.

"Director Zhu, what are we looking at?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Zhu Dong waved his hand with a smile: "Don't rush..."

Soon, the evening news will begin.

However, during the prime time before the evening news broadcast, an advertisement suddenly appeared.

Liu Aiguo sat at his clean desk and muttered these words to himself.

"Dear viewers across the country, this is Liu Aiguo from Shenlong Group. Thank you for your attention to Shenlong Motors. The first batch of limited edition Shenlong vehicles has already been sold... Our limited edition vehicles are modified from Daihatsu's iconic yellow trucks!"

"Yes, that's exactly how it looks!"

"You may not be able to buy a high-tech Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën car right now, but you can check out Daihatsu's big yellow minivan. It's more affordable!"

Then the camera shifts to Daihatsu's big yellow car.

There's also a comparison between the big yellow car and the Shenlong Motors.

It can be said that, apart from the different logos, they are exactly the same in many ways.

29. Don't underestimate the influence of Shenlong Motors.

Although it was a brand unfamiliar to most people, it boosted the confidence of Chinese people in domestic brands in just a few days.

Who doesn't know about the limited editions of Shenlong Motors, where each car costs 100 million yuan?

And it's in US dollars!

Who doesn't know that Toyota bought three cars at once?

sizzle...

This means the master has to learn from the apprentice.

At this moment, all the emotions of the Chinese people, who had been suppressed for a century, were released.

They may not be able to afford Shenlong automobiles, but they can definitely afford the yellow bicycles.

Because at this time, those who buy cars are generally not individuals, but companies.

And there are countless organizations across the country, just too many!

"Boss!" The sales director, wearing thick glasses, asked Zhu Dong, "This advertisement must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhu Dong felt a pang of pain when he heard this, saying, "Hmm... more than 60,000!"

"Hiss hiss hiss..." Everyone gasped.

Zhu Dong added, "Sixty thousand a week, and if you want it to continue airing, you'll have to pay more!"

"Hiss hiss hiss..." Everyone gasped in shock this time.

The sales director said, "Boss, should we increase production capacity?"

"Add my ass!" Zhu Dong berated the sales director. "We have over 30,000 vehicles in stock. Let's talk about increasing production capacity when we've sold them all. What are you thinking?"

……

Far away in a foreign land.

Willpower Nation, Mercedes Headquarters.

"boom……"

Chief Engineer Watt slammed his hand on the table, then quickly raised it again and started blowing.

sizzle...

very painful!

"This Fengtian Zhangnan... is he crazy?!" Watt said angrily, "One hundred million US dollars for a car?"

"No, no... just one battery?"

"Hey... what is this... is this brain-dead?!"

"We're not buying it. What's wrong with waiting until the mass-produced car is released before we buy it?"

"Didn't we agree on that?"

Watt was so angry his face turned green.

How to do?

If you want to study someone else's battery technology, you need to have a physical battery.

We either need to test the capacitance, start breaking it down, or study its technology and processes.

But what's the point of researching if you don't have the actual object?

buy!

But it costs a hundred million US dollars.

This...isn't this obviously a trap for us OEMs?

But if we don't buy it, Toyota will develop the technology later, and Audi will also develop the technology.

What should we do?

That would mean falling behind in electric vehicle technology.

“Mr. Watt, what do we do now?” Deputy Chief Engineer Curie said, “Outside, BMW’s chief engineer still wants to see you!”

"Alright, I'll go greet them!"

Watt took a deep breath and went out to greet BMW's chief engineer, Lister.

Three minutes later, Watt and Lister were sitting in the office.

"Wait a moment, our chairman and board members will be here shortly!"

Before long, more than a third of the directors had arrived.

There were about six or seven people in total.

A brief meeting was convened.

"Good morning, gentlemen of the board!" Lister said. "On behalf of the board of directors of BMW and the BMW Group, I would like to discuss something with you. As you know, that battery from China has been causing us some trouble lately!"

"But their 100 million yuan per coin is really too much!"

"My boss's idea is, can we cooperate sincerely, buy three batteries together, and then start researching them together!"

"Oh?" Watt said, "You mean joint research and development?"

This can save a lot of money.

He nodded.

However, the other directors disagreed.

"No!" A director with a long beard stood up and said, "Absolutely not! We absolutely cannot let the Chinese people's schemes succeed!"

"Let's not buy them. Let's focus on developing our own gasoline-powered cars. I don't believe electric cars can compete with our gasoline-powered cars."

"Yeah……"

"That's right!"

"None of us will buy it!"

"Let the Dragon Kingdom's conspiracy be thwarted!"

All the directors spoke in unison.

Lister frowned: I never expected it to be like this.

“Alright then!” Lister said, “I’ll go back now and convey your thoughts to my boss!”

Lister left in a hurry.

Lister just left.

Over there, the bearded man said, "Mr. Watt, we've just had a meeting. You, 423, go to China immediately and buy three batteries. Remember, go secretly, don't make a big fuss!"

“This…” Watt was taken aback.

The bearded man chuckled and said, "Hehehe... Mr. Watt, we are the prestigious Mercedes Motors. When have we ever collaborated with others on research and development?"

"If this gets out, others and consumers will think we lack strength!"

"Go ahead without worry!"

"BMW... let's fool them for now!"

"it is good!"

Watt immediately packed his bags and went to Beijing. Without saying a word, he found Liu Aiguo and asked to buy three limited edition cars.
