Hu Lai suddenly came to the door to buy a Changan van and his skills really stunned the two of them.
Looking at He Hongtu and Shen Jianguo's surprised expressions, he confirmed with a smile:
"Yes, I'm sure."
"The purpose of our visit this time is to introduce the full set of technologies of your company's Changan Star van."
Hu Lai's affirmative words made Shen Jianguo a little dazed, but Mr. He, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly came to his senses.
Mr. He has been through the battlefield for a long time and quickly hid the surprise on his face. He thought about his words in his heart and asked curiously:
"Mr. Hu, I am frank, I really can't see through what your technology is about to acquire our Chang'an Star."
"Now, both domestic and foreign auto companies are constantly increasing their investment in new energy vehicles. New energy vehicles have become the mainstream in the future. At this time, our Phoenix Group suddenly entered the traditional fuel vehicles or vans!"
"this……"
Speaking of this, Mr. He himself found it a little funny.
He shook his head and smiled:
"To be honest, your acquisition really makes me feel unsure."
Hu Lai laughed:
"Mr. He, can you still think that if we acquire your company Changan Star technology, there is still any conspiracy?"
He Hongtu also felt that he was thinking too much and laughed awkwardly.
As Hu Lai said, Changan Star van technology is really not a high-tech technology.
Wuling, Dongfeng, Jinbei and Haishi in China all have van technology, and Changan Star has some advantages in performance data, chassis tuning and detail optimization.
Moreover, He Hongtu knew in his heart that with Phoenix Auto's R&D strength, how difficult it would be to redevelop a minivan?
However, the more clear and clear he understood, the less he felt.
Fortunately, Hu Lai didn't mean to hide it. He took a sip of fragrant tea, put down the cup and looked at He Hongtu and said:
"To be honest, we acquired your company's Changan Star Technology, which is indeed intended to be used to produce vans."
"but."
“We are planning to produce and sell vans in Africa!”
Africa?!
In an instant, Shen Jianguo, who was standing aside, was completely shocked. Even Mr. He, who had always been steady, showed a look of surprise on his face. This news was simply unbelievable than Hu just said that the acquisition of Changan Star technology was just now.
Thousands of thoughts turned around in the minds of the two of them in an extremely shocked manner. They couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of surprise!
Phoenix Group.
Is Phoenix Group going to expand into the African continent?!
The expressions of the two fell into Hu Lai's eyes, and he said with a smile:
"To be honest, our Phoenix Group is indeed ready to explore the African market."
"We have already laid out some factories in Burundi, Africa, and your company's Changan Star van technology is also a part of what we want to introduce."
"so……"
I didn't finish the nonsense, but I expressed all the meaning very clearly.
He Hongtu took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down. He looked at the young and promising Wu Lai in front of him, his eyes completely different from before.
He didn't expect that the young Mr. Hu of Phoenix Group would have such ambitions. At this moment, he felt a lot of feelings in his heart and only had one word in his mind.
The young man is so terrifying!
As CEO of Changan Automobile, He Hongtu understands the difficulty of expanding overseas markets.
Changan Automobile has always been making global layouts, with production bases in Ilang and Pakistan. Today, there are 16 bases and 35 complete vehicle and engine factories around the world, and their products are exported to 41 countries around the world.
Although it seems a lot, in fact, the hard work of the process and the difficulty of exploring overseas markets are far greater than that of the domestic market.
The most difficult thing is that the actual profit returns of overseas businesses that have put in so much energy are not as high as expected.
Thinking of this, He Hongtu was solemn to Hu Lai.
With Phoenix Group's reputation and brand today in China, there is no need to explore the African market. Doing a good job in domestic land is enough to become a strong enterprise.
But in this context, Mr. Hu of Phoenix Group took the initiative to explore overseas markets, which is admirable.
Not to mention whether Phoenix Group can succeed in the African continent, at least Phoenix is willing to actively explore overseas markets, which is not a little better than too many domestic companies.
As he thought about it, He Hongtu's mood was a little excited when he calmed down. He couldn't help but agree to transfer Chang'an Star's technology to Phoenix Group immediately.
but.
This impulse flashed by, and he quickly picked up the teacup on the table and took a slight sip.
Since Director Zhang contacted Shen Jianguo, Mr. He Hongtu and Mr. He knew that Mr. Hu Lai and Mr. Hu came to visit him in person, and he must have asked him to do so.
Although I don’t know exactly what to come for, I think what can make Hu Lai come in person will definitely not be a trivial matter.
Originally, he had already made up his mind to take advantage of this opportunity that Phoenix Group had the opportunity to seek Changan and took the opportunity to cooperate with Phoenix Auto and obtain Phoenix's technical authorization, just like BYD and Rice Auto.
But now, he felt a little distressed.
If Phoenix proposes to acquire other technologies, such as the Blue Whale engine and SUV chassis technology that set the Gillis world record, he will have the confidence to bargain with Hu Lai.
Can……
But now Changan Star van technology...
Everyone can understand that the Changan Star series has gradually withdrawn from the stage in China, and Changan Group itself has strategically abandoned its traditional fuel van business.
To be honest, the sales volume of Changan Star is less than 20,000 vehicles a year. If the group's senior management had not considered the large number of Changan Star series in the market and the after-sales and maintenance issues of previous models, it would have been a long time ago.
All have been completely discontinued!
Just such a abandoned technology and a abandoned car model are used to propose technical transactions with the world's best "future in-car system"?!
He Hongtu's face was hot. As the CEO of Changan, he still had to have some face.
He couldn't say this.
At this moment, Shen Jianguo, who was standing aside, saw the entanglement of He Hongtu and Mr. He.
After receiving a call from Director Zhang, he had communicated with Mr. He about this matter. He understood He Hongtu’s thoughts very well. Before the scene became awkward, Shen Jianguo took the initiative to take the call.
He looked at Wu Lai with a smile and said:
"Mr. Hu, let's not talk about anything else, just because our Phoenix Group is willing to expand the market in Africa. Our brothers all admire it very much."
"but……"
"Maybe Mr. Hu doesn't know that last year, Changan created a brand new new energy vehicle series called 'Changan Deep Blue'. At present, our model design, power and battery life have basically been determined."
"It is because of the on-board system solutions and unmanned autonomous driving, the supplier has not been finalized. If so..."
As he spoke, Shen Jianguo felt a little embarrassed and his voice became smaller and smaller.
What a fuck, I'm so embarrassed to trade Changan Breaking Van technology for Phoenix Auto's top "future in-car operating system" technology?!!
Are you really shameless?
If this is spread, you will not be laughed at by your colleagues to death. Do you think too much about it?
What's more, can Phoenix agree to such a request?
Before Shen Jianguo could finish his words, Hu Lai smiled and took over the conversation. He looked at He Hongtu without any hesitation:
"Mr. He, I looked at the renderings of your Changan Deep Blue Series Deep Blue SL03, and the appearance design is indeed very beautiful."
"If necessary, our Phoenix Automobile can provide Changan Deep Blue SL03 with a full set of technical support for the 'future in-car system', which is no problem!"
What?!
no problem?!
In an instant, a sudden surprise enveloped the two of them, and their light words made them feel rippling.
Shen Jianguo, who was already a little embarrassed, suddenly widened his eyes, and the next second, He Hongtu blurted out:
"This is what you say seriously?"
Hu Lai smiled and nodded:
"A gentleman's words are as good as hell!"
"However, our technical authorization is charged according to the number of authorizations and the activation functions. In other words, any Deep Blue SL03 equipped with our "future car system" needs to be paid for an authorization fee."
"no problem!"
This time, He Hongtu's reaction was very refreshing. He had heard of the authorization method of Phoenix Auto, and it was completely acceptable to Chang'an according to the quantitative authorization method.
He looked at Hu Lai excitedly, and an incredible feeling enveloped his whole body.
After all the calculations, he really didn't expect that Mr. Hu would agree so easily!
To be continued...
