In the meetings over the past few days, many manufacturer representatives and owners of major racing venues have been arguing about the details of the event.
¡°Sometimes it¡¯s about the displacement of the car, and sometimes it¡¯s about the model of the mass-produced car. In short, if you solve one problem, the second one will come right away. Small stumbling blocks come one after another. . . .
On the surface, there are a lot of disputes over the refinement of the standards and promotion issues of this event.
But when Jin Xiaoqiang thought about it carefully, especially the changes in the attitudes of major car manufacturers, he discovered that it was not the so-called event promotion issue at all.
In fact, the most fundamental reason is the competition for the dominance of this event, and even the right to speak in the Chinese automobile market. What those big manufacturers are most worried about is Huayang Power. Once they take advantage of the promotion of this event, they will be able to hold this event. The bigger and stronger they are, causing the Automobile Association to break away from their control.
"Once the Automobile Association's dependence on the funds they provide weakens, then the Automobile Association will have a corresponding independent say. Then in the future, it will be difficult for everyone to do whatever they want in China's automobile market.
In the future, the good thing that major car manufacturers will set the rules of the game may be gone forever.
So this is the most focused issue behind the meetings these days!
After he understood these problems, Jin Xiaoqiang was no longer so worried. He carefully analyzed the situation and found that in fact, such a situation was not a bad thing for him. It's even a good thing.
Because the companies standing opposite him are all large foreign automobile manufacturers, including Volkswagen. Toyota, Honda, and GM. Mainly foreign companies such as Ford.
Many domestic automobile companies do not care much about the promotion of these events, such as several domestic independent brands, Li Ji, BYD, Li Ge, and Great Wall. None of them had a clear choice of which side to take.
¡°After all, in their opinion, their domestic market share is not large. When several companies are put together, their share of the domestic market is less than 20%.
On the other hand, they are not up to par in terms of basic car technology and have to rely on Huayang Power in many areas. Or other foreign car companies, so it is not easy for them to choose a clear stance.
However, the attitudes of several major domestic state-owned car companies, such as FAW, SAIC, Second Automobile Works, Dongfeng, etc. are not very clear.
Not to mention Second Automobile and Dongfeng. In the domestic market, their focus is not on family cars. FAW has produced a Xiali in recent years, but it really can't produce anything very good.
Although Dongfeng is also a joint venture, their partner is France's Citro?n. The products they produce, such as Shennong Fukang and other models, were popular in the market for a period of time in the early years. For the rest of the time, they were basically not domestically produced. The mainstream of the automobile market.
As for FAW and SAIC, their attitudes are also very vague. It is said that their cooperation partners Volkswagen, Toyota, and General Motors are the main players in the drama with Huayang Power. They should stand on the side of their partners.
But now their attitude is very vague, which makes people feel a little surprised, but in fact, if you analyze it carefully, it is also reasonable.
FAW has been cooperating with Volkswagen and Toyota for some time, but these two companies are really not the same thing. They can cooperate and make money from you, but when it comes to transferring technology, these two companies immediately shake their heads. Like a rattle.
This is even more true for SAIC. They have cooperated with Volkswagen for so many years and helped Volkswagen make money in China for so many years. However, after so many years, Volkswagen refuses to transfer even a single Santana engine technology. They are really stupid. unacceptable.
In the past few years, the people in China have become richer, and many consumers born in the 1980s have grown up. This generation of consumers is no longer so blindly chasing foreign products, and after so many years of development, this generation Consumers of this generation obviously have more national pride than their predecessors, and they obviously have higher expectations for products produced by their own nation.
This can be seen from the great success of Huayang Power in the market, so many automobile companies plan to launch some of their own flagship brands.
¡°After all, no one wants to be used as an assembly workshop for these foreign companies and have their lives poked in the back by the common people.
Both SAIC and FAW had this idea. However, SAIC was blocked from discussing technology transfer with Volkswagen, let alone the Americans. In the end, they could only bypass these two parties and directly purchase a Rover that was on the verge of bankruptcy from the UK. return.
???????????? FAW¡¯s talks with Volkswagen about technology transfer were met with failure, and they didn¡¯t talk to Toyota at all. In the end, they had no choice but to get a set of chassis technology from Mazda to make the Pentium.
So to be honest, these two companies have long been dissatisfied with their partners.
Now these two companies are at odds with Huayang Power, and they are just going along with the flow and playing Tai Chi. You foreigners don't know what you want, but we just don't care. Do whatever you want, You can do it yourself. If you can do it, it counts as your skill. If you can't do it, hey, then we have nothing to lose.
After Jin Xiaoqiang understood the mentality of major automobile manufacturers, he felt confident.
?????????????????????????? Since the big brothers of FAW and SAIC are silent, neither supporting nor opposing, then it¡¯s easy to handle, and we can leave the rest to Huayang Power ourselves.
Jin Xiaoqiang immediately found the person in charge of the Automobile Association who was in charge of this meeting. This person was the same family as Jin Xiaoqiang five hundred years ago. His surname was also Jin, and his name was Jin Zhiguang. He was a big-faced man in his forties. He used to I worked at BAIC for ten years, and later I was promoted to work in the Automobile Association through my family connections.
This man is in the prime of his life and is seeking to make progress. He thought he could continue the promotion of this event to expand the Automobile Association's influence among major automobile companies in the country, and then gain a certain amount of political capital for himself.
Who would have thought that these foreigners would obstruct it in every possible way. In the past few days, Jin Zhiguang has been in trouble because of the promotion of this event, and he can't sleep every day.
??This event was given to him by the higher authorities, and he also issued a military order. If this event is held well, then he will have made a great contribution. If it is messed up, then he will definitely take the blame.
At this time, Fang Jin Xiaoqiang, a strong sponsor of the event, came forward to invite him. How dare he not come?
"Mr. Jin, what happened in the past few days has made you laugh. I have been contacting leaders from all walks of life these days to coordinate the affairs of the competition. Please rest assured that this competition will definitely be promoted successfully."
As a well-known person in the automobile industry, Jin Zhiguang knows exactly how much energy Jin Xiaoqiang has. Even though the man in front of him is young, his strength cannot be underestimated.
And he was also afraid that Jin Xiaoqiang would be angry because of the wrangling in the meetings over the past few days. There was nothing he could do about it, although the current Automobile Association was not lethal at all in the eyes of various automobile manufacturers.
¡° If you want to promote an event, you have to look at the opinions of these car manufacturers. As a senior person in charge of the Automobile Association, Jin Zhiguang also feels very aggrieved.
"Haha, you are overthinking, Brother Jin. In fact, I already have a rough understanding of this matter. Aren't there many automobile companies, standing behind some people, wanting to ask for some special conditions from our Automobile Association?"
Jin Xiaoqiang laughed, and then said, when Jin Zhiguang heard Jin Xiaoqiang's words, he knew that he already knew a lot of inside information.
In fact, in the past few days, several foreign-funded companies have also been making demands on the Automobile Association through the owners of the competition venues they control.
Some of the demands they made were excessive, and some were completely unreasonable. To put it bluntly, they were holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
¡° Anyway, there are only a few suitable racing venues in your country, and these venues are all built by us. If you want to expand the influence of your Automobile Association and hold events, you have to hold them in these venues.
If the event is unsuccessful, it will be your loss. If the event is successful, how will the accounts be divided behind the scenes? Have you figured it out?
And should you also give our companies some specific preferential conditions?
"Wait a minute, every day when Jin Zhiguang hears these suggestions, he feels like his head is going to explode. Being an official with no real power in the Chinese dynasty is really worse than being an ordinary citizen.
"Yes, Xiaoqiang, how many years older am I than you? It's really difficult to call you brother! I didn't expect these foreign devils to be so uneasy and kind-hearted."
Jin Zhiguang feels like his head is getting big when he thinks about the resistance caused by the selfish motives of these foreign private companies in promoting this event.
"Hmph! These foreigners really have no good intentions. They want to make as much money as possible in our market, and then they don't treat our consumers as human beings. Such things will be left to us in the future. We They are absolutely not allowed to do this.¡±
Jin Xiaoqiang is also very annoyed with the attitudes of Volkswagen, Toyota, and Hyundai.
"Yes, over the years, Toyota and Honda have cut corners, Volkswagen has reduced parts and increased prices, and they have not compensated for quality problems. Hey, the pressure on our Automobile Association is huge. . . "
Jin Zhiguang shook his head when he thought of the evil deeds of these foreign-funded enterprises.
"Humph, don't they want us to play? Isn't it just because they have the venue? Well, then let's build the venue ourselves, and we won't play with them"
When Jin Xiaoqiang said this, Jin Zhiguang's eyes suddenly lit up. Sure enough, this guy was still brave. In fact, he had also thought about the issue of building a new venue. But how much money would it cost to build just one of these international-level racing venues?
It is simply not something that the Automobile Association of China can afford, but with the rich man Huayang Power coming forward, is money still a problem?
