Chapter 205 Threats from General

.…………,………,

Sure enough, they wanted to cooperate, but the people at GM reacted quickly? They just came to our company as soon as it emerged!

Want to cooperate? That's easy, then we have to see how much sincerity and benefits we can bring, otherwise there is no need to talk, Jin Qiang thought to himself, and then asked Nick directly...

"Mr. Nick wants to cooperate. I want to know in what aspect do you want to cooperate with Huayang Power? Is there any specific general direction?"

You must be cautious when cooperating with Americans. Most of these guys are people who eat people without spitting out their bones. Many companies that cooperate with Americans have been deceived by American companies.

The most famous cooperation in the automotive field is, of course, that between Daimler and Chrysler. But who doesn’t know that the cooperation in the past few years alone has allowed Mercedes-Benz to spend billions or even hundreds of dollars on Chrysler?

billions of resources?

In the end, Mercedes-Benz couldn't stand the Americans' rough work style and low work efficiency, and finally had to choose to break up with Chrysler.

Now, General Motors has approached me again and wants to discuss cooperation. You have to think carefully about it, otherwise you may be defrauded of a lot of money by these guys, and you will lose your wife and get a discount.

Soldiers, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Nick saw that Jin Qiang was not ambiguous and actually went straight to the topic, so he came up with the case that had been discussed among the company's top management and Jin Qiang.

"Mr. Jin, the new concept car exhibited by Huayang Power at the Frankfurt Motor Show this time, and the E engine that will be equipped on this car are very poisonous. After hearing this, Jin Qiang couldn't help but feel...

Secretly he became happy.

The Qoros car series he developed currently only has the Qoros 6 and Qoros 8, which correspond to the new LaCrosse and the new Regal launched by General Motors later. The models are all from Opel in 2007.

It is just an Insignia model developed in 2008. However, in terms of content, especially the powertrain, it plans to use the powertrain developed by Ford in 2008.

In this way, two classics developed by later American car manufacturers, one internal and one external, were integrated by him.

This is not the 2010s, it's only 2004, so of course something like this must be considered good. No wonder GM people came to the door so quickly. Does this mean they still have good taste?

"Well, like this?"

Jin Qiang deliberately looked very embarrassed. He thought for a while and did not rush to answer Nick's words. Negotiation, of course, he had to whet the other party's appetite. Anyway, he was not the one who was anxious.

"Mr. Reilly, how do you want to cooperate? Can you tell me some of your conditions and specific details? I can think about it."

Jin Qiang probed further.

Nick.

Rayleigh and Carl Stark, who was beside him, looked at each other quietly, winked at each other, and then turned to Jin Qiang.

"It's like this. After Huayang Power brought the Qoros series concept car to the Frankfurt Motor Show two days ago, our senior management at General Motors are unanimously optimistic about this model of Huayang Power. But as far as we know so far

, Huayang Dynamics is just a company that has just been born. Although there are geniuses like you, Mr. Jin, in research and development, I think Huayang Dynamics must still have some shortcomings in terms of the company's sales and management.

, and in this regard, we at GM can be the leader in the industry.,,

Nick Yunshan has been surrounded by a lot of fog. In fact, what he said is nothing more than this. Huayang Dynamics does have the ability to innovate, but we at GM do have sales channels.

"Mr. Jin also knows that North America and Europe are the two largest mature automobile sales markets in the world. It is quite difficult to enter such markets. Especially our Huayang Power is an automobile company from China. Please forgive me.

Frankly speaking, although Japanese and Korean cars have been successful in North America and Europe, it is not so easy for cars from China to succeed in these two places.

, no matter how well our cars are made and how technical they are. Because doing such a business often involves not only free trade issues, but also many aspects to consider, such as politics! But if Huayang Dynamics cooperates with our GM

If so, then these won’t be problems, and we can easily let Huayang Power’s products enter the U.S. and European markets. If I say this, Mr. Jin won’t disagree!”

Nick Reilly's words were very direct and strong. Although Jin Qiang felt a little uncomfortable, he couldn't help but agree with Nick.

This is also the main reason why their Huayang Dynamics products have not entered the US market.

In addition to some historical issues and the discrimination of Europeans and Americans against China's high-tech products, political factors are also a major problem that Huayang Power has to face.

Japanese and Korean cars are very popular in the United States, and they are also popular in Europe, but there is a very important factor here, that is, the political systems of Japan and South Korea are similar to those of Europe and the United States, and these two countries, in

Basically, they are running dogs of the United States, so people will not be too wary of them, and even if they are, they can be solved through some means.

But China is different. In the international arena, China's political status is very isolated. Although the United States and Europe appear to be in harmony with China, in their hearts they regard China as their biggest enemy.

And Russia will only find China when necessary and rope in China to act as a political thug.

Just imagine that if Huayang Power enters the US market, it can quickly occupy the market and defeat its competitors by virtue of its price advantage, which is far lower than the production costs of automobile companies in Europe and the United States.

But will Europeans and Americans watch Chinese people do this?

Back then, Japanese cars succeeded in the U.S. market with low prices, but what did the Americans do next? They directly pressured the Japanese government to adjust the exchange rate, and finally made money from the Japanese elsewhere.

I got the money back.

Moreover, the Japanese were forced to do nothing. In the end, Toyota and Honda had no choice but to open many factories in the United States and produce cars directly in the United States in order to provide employment opportunities for Americans and then get the U.S. government to relent.

Huayang Power currently has no idea of ​​opening a factory in the United States, so this is another problem!

Moreover, the method of forcing a country's currency to fully open up for appreciation will not be so effective against the Chinese government. The Chinese government cannot be obedient to the demands of the United States like the Japanese government, and the Americans also know this very well.

.

Therefore, they will definitely put pressure on Huayang Power's products in all aspects and prevent them from entering the US market easily. This is also the main reason why Huayang Power has not been able to enter the US market until now despite several negotiations.

And even if they put it in now, as long as the product sells well and takes away the market of most American companies and the jobs of their workers, can Americans still sit back and ignore it?

At that time, people can easily unite, and the jobs that have been ruined will be destroyed without too much conspiracy and trickery. They can just launch an anti-dumping investigation.

Think about it in later generations. There are several large Chinese tire companies and automotive glass manufacturers. Which ones have been subject to anti-dumping investigations by the US government?

Once they investigate, they will not be able to recover the capital of hundreds of millions. The products produced will only be subject to a tariff fine of several hundred percent. In this way, if the fine is paid, the cost will not be recovered at all, so those

Enterprises can only watch helplessly as their products worth hundreds of millions are confiscated and taken away by the Americans.

Jin Qiang does not want to follow such an old path, and Nick Reilly knows this very well, so he is making a fuss in this regard. He wants to obtain the right to cooperate with Huayang Power, but he does not want to pay too much.

So he can only put pressure on Huayang Dynamics in this regard!

If they can obtain the right to cooperate with Huayang Power's car series products, they will have one less competitor in the market and one more tool to make money. Why would GM not do such a deal?

If Huayang Power refuses to agree, it will be easy to handle. As long as GM puts some pressure on the US government, Huayang Power's products will not be sold in the United States.

Hum! As long as the United States takes the lead, I believe other European countries will follow suit. By then, Huayang Power's products will have no choice but to be finished in their own homes!

So it’s true that GM wants to cooperate, but they come with a strong attitude and they don’t want to pay too much!

Umbrella Qiang thought for a while, and then asked Nick again

"Well, I admit that Mr. Lei Li's statement makes sense, so what are the conditions for our cooperation this time? Can you give me details?" Seeing that Umbrella Qiang did not react too strongly, he also

Continuing to ask about cooperation, Nick was also happy to see Xie Xin. Fortunately, this Chinese man was quite sensible.

"Actually, our conditions are very simple. We want Huayang Dynamics' Qoros to cooperate with several of our brands. Huayang Dynamics can provide prototype machines, and then we can set up in Bochum, Germany, and Canada in North America.

The new factory will directly produce original cars locally and then sell them locally. Do you think this production plan is reasonable?" Seeing that Jin Qiang was very sensible, Nick Reilly changed his attitude to a very humble one.
