- Chapter 247 Troubled Times
On December 24, 2004, Yunxiang Automobile officially launched the world's first high-end commercial vehicle "Windrunner" equipped with a composite bio-engine to the market. At the same time, it was announced that Yunxiang Automobile has become the third manufacturer in the world to officially put into production a composite bio-engine.
This automobile company has been in turmoil since its demise. Whether it was the early internal integration or the change of ownership of British Rover, it has neither completed Fangyuan's original vision nor achieved a balance of payments. All this has made Fangyuan The idea of ??Yunxiang Auto as a cash cow was on the verge of collapse. If Fangyuan had not induced Rover to inject engine production technology into Yunxiang Auto, if he had not hired an entire team from the United States to rebuild the management system, if he had not mobilized huge amounts of funds Injection, this company may have already fallen into debt due to fierce competition in the mini-car market.
In 2004, due to the drastic changes in the mini-car market environment, Yunxiang Automobile's sales dropped by 16% compared to the previous year. Only 100,000 mini-cars were sold throughout the year, and its market position was also severely impacted. . The commercial vehicle series that Fangyuan has high hopes for is still in the road test stage. The engines imported from Rover cannot be introduced in large quantities due to the target cost budget and can only be used for road testing of commercial vehicles. All hopes are pinned on the Yunxiang engine factory production line being put into operation. Before that, Yunxiang Automobile can still only rely on the meager profits and capital of micro cars to maintain operations.
If it were an ordinary commercial vehicle, Yunxiang¡¯s executives would not be so cautious, and would not even care about the cost of imported engines. These costs will eventually be borne by customers. But this car is a high-end product that Yunxiang regards as the flagship of transformation. It is a high-end car series designed to target foreign big brands. It has the same target group, surpasses its competitors in configuration and quality, and has a relatively low price. These are all decisive factors. Since cost is the most critical factor for this car, there is no other way but to wait patiently.
All this made Fangyuan smile bitterly and exclude Yunxiang Automobile when looking for funding channels for Xingrui Holdings. She even made psychological preparations to prepare a large amount of emergency reserve funds for Yunxiang Automobile. Yunxiang cannot make any mistakes, otherwise any early investment will be meaningless, even the engine technology injected by Rover.
It¡¯s not that there aren¡¯t people who are eyeing him around, there are too many, not only domestic industry leaders such as Shanghai and Shanghai Automobile, but also Japanese, Koreans and Indians. After Yunxiang became the third owner of patented technology for composite bio-engines, these people In terms of frequent lobbying, whether through a third party or in person, they have never slackened in their pursuit of Yunxiang Automobile's equity. The plans submitted are even more diverse. Whether it is a joint venture plan or a merger and acquisition plan, each one has favorable conditions. As long as The owner of Yunxiang Automobile nodded and that was heaps of heavenly pies.
If Yunxiang Automobile were not a purely private company, not a listed company, it might have experienced countless hostile takeovers. If it were not a private enterprise, perhaps Fangyuan's shares would have been diluted into green leaves by now. .
Whether it is Witt Group, Rover Motors or Saturn Motors, there are very few shares floating on the market. From the moment the acquisition began, Fangyuan paid great attention to the control of these companies. In the field of capital, anything can happen. , he doesn¡¯t want to be a fool who makes wedding clothes for others.
In August 2004, Yunxiang Automobile finally rolled off its first composite bioengine, and the production line with a monthly output of 9,000 engines began trial production. This also became an opportunity for Yunxiang Automobile to turn around. Three months later, the entire After the completion of the first phase of the project, the production capacity will reach an annual production scale of 150,000 units.
From the beginning of planning, Yunxiang Automobile's management team had no intention of increasing its production capacity to more than 400,000 units. Yunxiang did not have the financial resources of Rover, nor did it need to achieve direct market competition. For Yunxiang Automobile, 400,000 units was completely feasible. Meet your own needs.
Starting from August, the engines that rolled off the production line have been put into various busy tests. Quality improvement takes time to accumulate. Fortunately, after four months, the quality of the products in December has been very stable. Although there is still a slight gap in quality compared to the Rover factory, this gap is becoming less and less obvious. The key is that the calculated cost can already meet the cost range requirements set by the board of directors for the "Windrunner" commercial vehicle series.
On December 24, Yunxiang Automobile officially released the "Windrunner" MPV series, with a total of three models, with a maximum price of only 218,800 yuan.
Just a week after Yunxiang Automobile released the "Windrunner", another mini-car series equipped with a new engine was also officially released.
Yunxiang Automobile launched a fierce counterattack against the mini-car industry. Although this mini-car is not cheap, considering the overall cost, it has become the most promising star model with the lowest overall cost on the market, priced at 89,000 yuan. The selling price is also difficult to suppress the avalanche of orders.? They are extremely afraid that something will happen to Qin Jianfei. If the kidnapping is okay, if it is another attempt, it means that the other party cannot let Qin Jianfei come back alive. No matter what Xingrui's reaction is, they will try their best to get what they want from Qin Jianfei.
"Fang Yuan, quickly ask Mr. Song for help. I'll go to the pharmaceutical group to ask for Qin Jianfei's itinerary." Lisa said, picking up the phone on the table and starting to call the pharmaceutical group.
This incident is too unexpected, but now there is no report from the security personnel around Qin Jianfei. In the hearts of Lisa and Fangyuan, they have no illusions about security. They are in a foreign country and cannot carry weapons with bare hands?
Fangyuan touched his pocket and wanted to take out his mobile phone, is there any?
After thinking about it, he opened the desk drawer and found the cell phone inside. There were two or three missed calls on the phone, but the phone was set to vibrate, so he never heard it.
It was really not the right time, but this morning he was inexplicably harassed by the insurance salesman. He had no choice but to mute the phone and threw it in the drawer. He forgot to take it out while working.
"Paul, it's me. Something happened to Qin Jianfei. He said he was being followed. Then the phone was disconnected. The security personnel following him didn't make any report, and the phone couldn't be connected. Lisa is checking Qin Jianfei's itinerary. I want you to Please help check the situation. Don't hang up the phone yet." Fangyuan thought for a while and called Paul. Paul is now in Italy, and more importantly, Paul's connections are much wider.
Lisa, who was anxiously waiting for a reply from the other party, held the phone tightly.
"" A series of voices sounded from the other side of the phone, Fang Yuan stared at Lisa closely.
¡°It¡¯s the Czech Republic.¡± Lisa hung up the phone and quickly told Fangyuan the location.
"It's Prague. Okay, I'll wait for your news." Fangyuan quickly told Paul on the other side of the phone.
It¡¯s such a troubled time. The company needs to be on guard against the Americans. Unexpectedly, there was some good financial news just now, but something happened to them.
The problem is that we still don¡¯t know who did it, following Qin Jianfei? This is definitely not a misunderstanding! At this moment, several people especially hoped that Qin Jianfei met a kidnapper who was just looking for some simple money. Otherwise, Qin Jianfei's situation would be very dangerous.
