Chapter 971 Technology Introduction

From a foreigner like Carter, it was a bit weird to hear the words "One's own people don't cheat one's own people". But Factory Director Geng couldn't really refute it for a while.

Before leaving, the State Economic Commission sent a letter asking FAW to prepare a Hongqi CA750F to take as a gift to Carter. He understood the attitude and importance of the superiors towards Carter.

Although this car is not a state-of-the-art car like the CA770, it is even just a prototype made by FAW using a 488 engine to imitate the Dodge 600. But this also represents an attitude, doesn't it?!

As for whether I should use this thing with a gun and a stick and let Carter take it back to the United States, disgusting Iacocca, or just bring a gift to Carter. Director Geng didn't care about that and went to the hotel for a luncheon

On the way, he has been struggling with how to choose between Audi and Chrysler.

He doesn't believe in the saying that "one's own people don't cheat their own people". In his opinion, Carter may be so attentive because of some international friendship considerations, but more importantly, he must have heard that FAW plans to cooperate with Audi.

There was a sound of wind, so he hurried over in a hurry

But the trouble now is that both of them seem to have merit!

Audi's brand power is not as good as that of Chrysler, or even its Dodge, but the Audi 100 is its best-selling model and is a relatively new generation. If Audi is introduced, judging from the conditions currently offered by Carter, although Audi costs more, it will

The amount of parts in stock is also large, and subsequent production costs will be relatively low;

On the other hand, Chrysler's technology is undoubtedly more mature and stable from a technical perspective, but it is slightly behind. After all, the Dodge 600 is already a model that is determined to be discontinued. From a cost perspective, the production line is directly converted into equity capital, and existing inventory parts are given away for free.

It seems that the cost is low now, and it can even be said that the production line can be introduced into the country without spending a penny, but the marginal cost in the future will be higher than that of Audi!

Technically, the comparison between the two is a bit like the tangle that consumers will face when buying cars in the future when faced with domestic cars with more intelligent accessories and joint venture cars with three major parts that are more reliable but seem to have a good reputation.

There are some similarities but similar results; in terms of cost, it’s hard to say which one is better and which one is worse.

After struggling all the way to the hotel, Director Geng decided to wait and see first!

"Come on, let me introduce to you. This is Li Jianxi, Mr. Li. Chairman of South Korea's Samsung Group. He heard that I invited Chinese friends to come to Korea for talks, so he shamelessly followed several directors.

The partner I wanted to introduce to you is him! Samsung is also very interested in investing in China! Also, let me tell you, they have money now! I just paid them back more than 200 million US dollars."

Entering the hotel venue, Carter playfully pulled Li Jianxi, who had just taken over as chairman, in front of everyone.

Inspiring Samsung to invest in China in advance is one of the best options for Carter to think about and increase his own chips!

On the one hand, people are established to live!

Not only is he friendly to investment in China, he can even drive more first-class companies to enter China. What is this, a very valuable united front target!

China already favors Chrysler more, although it had an unpleasant experience in the past. But now, in terms of objective conditions, it has let go. Even if we cooperate now, not only will we not suffer losses, but we will also get more benefits! Save face.

, provide enough for yourself!

On the other hand, this is also a helpless choice!

After all, Samsung still has TVs and other products, which are more suitable for the current domestic market. It is suitable to enter China and set up factories. Looking at itself,

There are no suitable direct products, and even in the related industries, except for Chrysler cars, there is currently no product that is more suitable for entering China. Dragging them along can also be regarded as increasing some of our own advantages and chips!

If you compete on one track alone, you may not be able to compete with the public, but you have to compete for comprehensive advantages. Are we not much better than that Hahn?!

"Ah Xiba?! Have you sold out all my trump cards?!"

After laughing and scolding Carter, Li Jianxi intervened at the right time, pulling Carter out of his own thoughts. With this relaxed atmosphere, after the guests and hosts took their seats, the scene gradually relaxed a lot.

Chatting about anecdotes and exchanging gifts, in a harmonious atmosphere, Li Jianxi also proposed the idea of ​​going to China to open a TV and radio assembly factory as agreed with Carter.

Although it’s not a high-tech product, it’s pretty good as a start!

After the luncheon was over, Li Jianxi went to another conference room with people from the Ministry of Electronic Industry to discuss details. Carter also went to another conference room with representatives from the Ministry of Heavy Industry, Director Geng and others.

After Director Geng, as the direct person in charge of FAW, explained the reasons for his hesitation, the other leaders spoke:

"Mr. Black, there are no outsiders here. I'll just say something straightforward. I just heard you say that you can reach some cooperation with us in the field of military vehicles through JEEP. Is it convenient for you to tell us your thoughts?"

"As far as I know, BJ Jeep is now planning to trial-produce a new model based on the technology of the CJ series models and the BJ212 you are currently equipped with. Listen to your question, is there any problem with that prototype?"

Since it was only a short time before he bought a stake in Chrysler, and Chrysler spent US$800 million to acquire Jeep not long ago, Carter knew very little about the specifics of BJ Jeep, a joint venture under Chrysler's subsidiaries.

Do you know what BJ Jeep is doing now? This is all the result of Carter's temporary fix.

"There are indeed some problems. At least as far as the performance of the current prototype vehicle is concerned, it cannot meet the needs of the army in terms of passability and stability."

"It shouldn't be. Jeep has a long history of making military off-road vehicles. I understand! Technical limitations!"

Just like in the past two years, the Black Hawk helicopters exported to China were not the military version of the UH-60, or the military version with Sikorsky's internal code S-70A, but the civilian version of the S70.

It is true that during this honeymoon period, the United States has repeatedly lowered the level of technological blockade against China. However, support and suppression still exist at the same time.

BJ Jeep selected CJ series civilian vehicle technology to improve military off-road vehicles. As a result, the performance indicators did not pass, and Carter guessed where the problem lay. Perhaps, at the beginning of this plan, they thought that civilian vehicle technology was enough. As a result,

"This problem is a bit difficult to solve. It is no longer something that can be solved at the company level."

"Yes, we understand. So, what we are thinking about is whether we can introduce some of Chrysler's technology and pair it with Jeep's technology. This does not mean that we require you to control JEEP to directly export prohibited technologies to us in violation of regulations.

As far as we know, Chrysler's Dodge vehicles also have a history of producing heavy-duty trucks, including military trucks!"

"If there is technology for civilian use, can this technology gap be filled by introducing these models?"

"I still need to investigate the specifics. To tell you the truth, I have only been investing in Chrysler for a short period of time. Even if I just promised to introduce the Dodge 600 for free, I will need to spend some time lobbying the board of directors. Now, the Jeep prototype car,

Which aspect of the indicator fails is because the technology in that place is restricted."

"It's best if you can give me a piece of information. After I have this thing, I will find someone to compare Chrysler's current products to see if any car has the application of the corresponding technology. If so,

If the price is right, I can promote this matter."

"In my opinion, these problems are not big problems. Even if it is technology that Chrysler does not have, as long as it can be found on the market, I can find a way to introduce the technology. I will use Chrysler to introduce the technology, and then

Apply it to our cars and then hand it over to you, as long as the cooperation is achieved, these are all small problems!"

"Oh, by the way, now that you mentioned this, I suddenly thought of something. Do you want a tank?"
Chapter completed!
