Chapter 414: Seven Automobile Groups
The so-called "demographic dividend" refers to a country's working-age population accounting for a large proportion of the total population and a relatively low dependency rate, creating favorable population conditions for economic development. The entire country's economy is in a situation of high savings, high investment and high growth.
Simply put, once the domestic economy enters the fast lane, its demographic dividend will inevitably become a powerful booster for economic growth. It makes it a world factory and the engine of world economic growth...
When the three car company bosses walked off the plane, they saw a young Russian in suits walking towards the plane under the escort of bodyguards and four other middle-aged men in large suits.
"Hello, Mr. Mavie! I'm very happy to know you! I'll introduce myself. I'm..." The three of them, President of Land Rover, President of MG Motor Company, and President of Jaguar, stepped forward with smiles on their faces and welcomed them. They also enthusiastically introduced themselves.
The future development of these three automobile companies in China is in the hands of this Russian young man, so they have to be treated with caution.
"Hello, three presidents, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule and traveling thousands of miles to Country Z." Ma Wei is also the boss of two luxury car companies, and has created many myths in the sports car industry.
Therefore, in terms of industry status and industry experience, they are also at the level of big bosses. They can be on par with the three bosses in front of them, and even slightly beyond the scope.
"Haha, Mr. Mavie, don't be busy! If you really have to be busy in the near future, it is to cooperate with the country!" The three bosses of Land Rover, MG, and Jaguar are also quite sensible. They will not be like some brainless rebellions in the novel. They have obviously come from afar, but they take the initiative to trouble the protagonist.
"By the way, let me introduce it to you! The person next to me is the president of Z Guo First Automobile Group Co., Ltd.... This is the president of Dongfeng Automobile Group Co., Ltd.... The person on the left is the president of Shangkuan Automobile Industry Group Co., Ltd.... and the president of Changan Automobile Group Co., Ltd...."
Ma Wei was familiar with the introduction of both parties. Although he had just met with the seven car company bosses around him, he had experienced the storms and waves and it was a piece of cake to deal with such things.
Under Mawei's introduction, the bosses of three British automobile companies shook hands and greeted the bosses of FAW Group and others with smiles. The atmosphere on the court was very harmonious.
In short, the domestic automobile market in 2003 was still in its infancy. Most people’s means of transportation were just buses and bicycles. At that time, the subway was not as popular as it was later, and there were even fewer private cars.
Therefore, the four major automobile groups, including the First Automobile Group and the Shangsha Automobile Industry Group, can be regarded as the difference between a dwarf and a giant compared to the British Land Rover and Jaguar.
If it weren't for someone's strategic vision and influence, I'm afraid that the bosses of these British automobile companies would not have made a special trip to the country to negotiate cooperation matters at this time.
Everyone exchanged simple greetings at the airport, and then took a convoy to a five-star hotel near the airport to negotiate the strategic cooperation between the two parties.
Since this is a very important task, the presidents of the four major automobile groups have prepared a lot of work for this. PPT alone and speeches have put in a lot of effort. Almost everyone has to give a speech at least for nearly 30 minutes at the meeting.
Within an hour and a half, the four bosses gave the current domestic automobile market distribution, plus the forecast of future development trends, to the three automobile bosses of Land Rover, MG and Jaguar.
The content is based on someone's prior reminder, roughly the same as what he said in the cabinet. Some places are even more specific, making the three British auto company bosses at the conference table nodded frequently after hearing this, looking forward to this cooperation.
"Thanks to the four bosses for their wonderful speeches. President William, President Abbott, and President Aldridge, what do you three think about the domestic automobile market?" As an intermediary, Mawei naturally wants to preside over the meeting a little.
"Mr. Mawei, after learning from many sources, I am optimistic about the future development of the automobile industry in Country Z. I also respect the joint venture concept proposed by your country. So before I came, I decided that it is likely to establish 2 to 3 production plants in Country Z within the next three years." Land Rover President William, William, said at the meeting with a smile.
The joint venture to build a factory in the country is something that the three British auto bosses have already prepared for.
After all, with the domestic demographic dividend and the early stages of the germination of the automobile market, as long as the economy can grow steadily, the demand for private cars in the future will definitely rise steadily, several times more than it appears. They are oppressed by the EU and have no reason to give up this domestic cake.
Although this cake is not fat at the moment, considering that someone's Maserati and Lamborghini have moved their strategies to China. Therefore, Land Rover, MG and Jaguar also chose to follow suit and make arrangements in China to avoid missing opportunities.
When I heard that foreign businessmen from Britain were so happy that they agreed to build a joint venture in China. I saw the four auto group bosses sitting at the conference table, and their expressions of anticipation were all on their faces.
You should know that with the current domestic automobile industry level, it is more than a little different from those of the British luxury car brands. Especially in the field of mass production of engines, it can be said that foreign technical assistance is very needed.
Strictly speaking, most of the engine research and development of domestic automobiles (ordinary vehicles, non-supercar engines) are not inferior to those of foreign countries. That is, most of the engines produced in laboratories are on the data line. But once mass production is reached, the level will plummet. Often, the quality of the previous batch of engines is qualified. However, the next batch of engines is completely unsatisfactory...
This is all because of the lack of experience in automated production management and corresponding automated production equipment.
The seven bosses present in the conference room had almost no doubts about this strategic cooperation. But Ma Wei, who was sitting in front, raised a very critical question at this time, that is...
