Chapter 281 That Car (Part 1)
Guo Tailai picked up the wine glass, clinked a glass with Mr. Zhang, and drank it cleanly: "Mr. Zhang, let's not say anything unpleasant, it's all over. There is no problem with cooperation, I just don't know, how should Mr. Zhang cooperate?"
The person was introduced by Brother Hai, and he had already said hello. It should be the kind of person who wanted to express kindness but did not firmly support those young men when they united to oppose Guo Tailai. Otherwise, with the big sign of FAW, the eldest son of the Republic, who dared to object to the decision they made?
It’s boring to say this at this time. Mr. Zhang has already asked Brother Hai to know Guo Tailai and has apologized in person. If Guo Tailai has to hold him to death, it would be inappropriate. FAW is not Guo Tailai’s biological father. If you have no relatives and no reason, why should you stand up and support you when you are criticized?
I always drink it all in one go, and the previous things passed with a glass of wine. I will talk about how to cooperate in the future. I will naturally be happy if I can cooperate. If I can’t cooperate, everyone will break up and don’t be enemies.
"I'm very happy that you recognize our Dahongqi brand." Mr. Zhang also slowly said it through the alcohol: "What do you think is the problem facing Dahongqi now?"
"There is not enough brand recognition." Guo Tailai replied directly without thinking: "You must be more familiar with the development of Hongqi, Mr. Zhang. In general, there is a problem that the international reputation is not enough. No matter how high the status is in China, foreigners do not recognize it. As a result, the reform and opening up are now, and the Chinese people have gradually become disregarded."
"Yes!" Mr. Zhang nodded: "The big red flag developed step by step from scratch. It's a pity that he was born in that era and was only the leader in China, but he had no chance to break out of Asia and go to the world."
Before the reform and opening up, this was related to the international situation and overall environment at that time, so we cannot blame FAW. But until the reform and opening up for so many years, Dahongqi has not yet gone out, so that is the problem of FAW. Of course, it must be various comprehensive reasons, and we cannot simply blame FAW.
"Little Hongqi is playing around with it, Audi style, Lincoln style, it seems to be last year, right?" Guo Tailai also smiled bitterly and shook his head: "To a certain extent, it has also implicated the reputation of Dahongqi."
Xiao Guo, you said, if we cooperated together on the Big Red Flag, is it possible?" Mr. Zhang looked into Guo Tailai's eyes and asked seriously.
Mr. Zhang, what are your positioning for the Dahongqi?" Guo Tailai asked while pouring wine for Mr. Zhang.
It's what you said, noble and luxurious." Mr. Zhang didn't think about it either. This question has been circling in his mind for many times, and he just started talking."
How to cooperate?" Guo Tailai asked again: "I do not have the qualifications to design automobiles in the country."
We will help you apply for your design and manufacturing qualifications." Mr. Zhang was prepared for this question and immediately replied: "Don't worry, it's not affiliated, but a separate design and manufacturing qualification."
A separate automobile design and manufacturing qualification is equivalent to a automobile production license, and this sincerity is very strong."
Then what?" Guo Tailai continued to ask: "I'm designing a model?"
Let's buy it." Mr. Zhang followed Guo Tailai's words and naturally followed it: "According to international practices."
Do you want to be a position that is biased towards the market or towards the others?" Guo Tailai asked in detail. Although he didn't say what the other means, Mr. Zhang and Brother Hai could understand that it was nothing more than the reason outside the market."
In fact, what we want to create the most is a brand image like Rolls-Roz." Mr. Zhang hesitated for a moment before speaking: "In addition to having enough wealth, customers also have to have a certain status to buy. Before purchasing, they must have strict identity review."
"If you have such a brand image..." Guo Tailai asked again: "How high do you plan to price it? If I remember correctly, the price of the Lincoln-style ca7460 large luxury sedan last year was close to 700,000, right? How is the sales?"
The sales volume... was very bleak. Mr. Zhang was embarrassed to answer this question. However, the previous question could be answered.
"If possible, of course, it can be sold at a price of nearly 5 million for Rolls-Royce." Mr. Zhang dared to think about it and just pretended that the new car was at the level of Rolls-Royce."
But Rolls-Royce does not have a low-end car." Guo Tailai said to Mr. Zhang with a wry smile: "In addition, how much do you plan to buy this design for a price of five million yuan?"
If it can be done," Mr. Zhang stretched out two fingers without hesitation: "Two billion yuan, including several sample cars."
As Mr. Zhang had the courage to take out such a high price at once, it can be seen that FAW really wanted to make the Dahongqi brand good. I don’t know why they made such a big decision, but this may not be a bad thing."
Suppose there is such a car." Guo Tai said: "From the engine to the gearbox to the interior of the frame, everything has been achieved to the extreme. According to the price you mentioned, how do you plan to launch it to the market? After all, it is difficult to consume cars of 700,000 in China now. I am afraid that there are not many cars of 5 million in China to afford? But it is estimated that it will be very difficult to build this brand internationally."
"We haven't thought about this problem yet." Mr. Zhang smiled bitterly again: "There is no sign of the car at all. Isn't it useless to think about this? But you are right, it is indeed very difficult."
It seemed that the words were suddenly in a deadlock, and no one spoke anymore. Guo Tailai picked up the chopsticks and ate two bites slowly."
Fatty, is there any way?" Brother Hai listened to him for a while, and only then did he ask slowly.
There is no way out." Guo Tailai's heart moved, looked at Brother Hai, then turned to look at Mr. Zhang, and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid you don't dare. And maybe some people will think it's a nonsense and will never agree."
What's the solution?" Mr. Zhang immediately became energetic and asked hurriedly. Mr. Zhang had thought of many ways to improve the international image of Dahongqi, but none of them had any special results. Guo Tai had a way here?
"Actually, there will be a chance in our country this year." Guo Tailai gritted his teeth and said his thoughts: "I promise that it is an environment that is highly anticipated and is definitely the person with the most suitable status. If the new big red flag can appear at that location at that time, billions of people in the world will be able to see it."
