Deputy Director Tian sighed: "I have two children, the eldest has a family, the younger one is still studying, the grades of this child are not too ideal, it is estimated that it is difficult to be admitted to a first-class university, the child has to let me find a relationship, see if I can get the child to a good university, I quarreled with her several times for this matter, and now I don't even say anything." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed and did not continue to talk about this topic at the wine table.

After two more rounds of drinking, Deputy Director Tian finally got down to business: "Xiaoqiang, what is the main business of Packard Automobile Company, why have I never heard of the name of this company?"

At present, there are three world-renowned automobile manufacturers in the United States, namely General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, as for Packard Automobile Company, although it has also been brilliant, but it is all the old yellow calendar, if it is not for Niu Xiaoqiang's shot, Packard Automobile Company is only afraid of the end of complete death, and it is not unusual for Deputy Director Tian to have not heard the name of this company.

Niu Xiaoqiang naturally couldn't expose his shortcomings, he smiled: "Packard Automobile Company is different from traditional car companies such as Ford and General Motors, they pay more attention to technology research and development, and are currently mainly engaged in modified car business, and do not produce cars, so they will not be famous, but this is only temporary, and when the technology accumulates to a certain time, they will open an automobile factory." ”

Deputy Director Tian showed a disappointed look, and the Packard Automobile Company did not even build cars, indicating that their strength was very limited. The most important thing for domestic joint venture projects is the strength of foreign businessmen, and if the strength is too weak, it will inevitably be laughed out of people's big teeth.

As one of the two major automobile manufacturing giants in China, Nanfeng Automobile Factory is naturally very concerned about the strength of its partners. Not to mention finding a giant like Ford to cooperate, at least find a company that can build cars, otherwise what will others think of this cooperation project

Deputy Director Tian reluctantly asked: "What is the scale of this company?"

Niu Xiaoqiang began to brag: "On the surface, the scale is not large, but if you calculate the invisible assets, the scale is very large." ”

"Invisible assets"

"Invisible assets refer to things that cannot be seen on the surface, such as technical reserves, when I was studying in the United States, in order to earn living expenses, I applied for this company as a technical consultant, when I first went I felt that this company was very shabby, it could not be called a car company, and when I understood the technical strength of this company, I found that I was very wrong, people's technical strength is very strong, with many world-leading automobile-related technologies, many of which are not even owned by car giants like Ford and GM。 ”

Deputy Director Tian regained a glimmer of hope and asked, "For example"

Niu Xiaoqiang did not pause at all, and immediately replied: "For example, V16 engine technology, continuously variable transmission technology, body lightweight technology, etc., especially the body lightweight technology, Packard Automobile Company is the most powerful existence in the world, they have developed a new material that can reduce the weight of the body by more than 30%, but the body strength has increased by 50%, and even the famous Formula 1 cars are seeking to cooperate with them." ”

The last sentence is very crucial, although Deputy Director Tian does not know much about the specific body lightweight technology, but he has heard of the name of Formula 1 car, and knows that this is the world's top automobile race, which uses the most cutting-edge automotive technology, and has an extraordinary leading role in the technological development of the global automotive industry.

Deputy Director Tian showed a surprised look: "This is true"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Of course it's true, at present, Packard Motors has signed a modification contract with an F1 driver, and is studying the modification plan of the F1 car, and it is estimated that the modification will be completed soon, and the follow-up orders will be overwhelming." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang is obviously confusing the public and trying to change the concept. He only said that Packard had a contract with the driver for conversion, not that Packard had a contract with the F1 team, which could easily be misunderstood due to the foreshadowing he had done before.

The reason why he dared to do this is mainly because few people in China know the specific situation of F1 events, and everyone does not know what the relationship between the driver and the team is.

Tian deputy director was really pocketed, he showed a happy smile: "our Nanfeng Automobile Factory is currently most lacking is the international leading automotive technology, if we can successfully determine the cooperation with Packard Automobile Company, I believe that Nanfeng Automobile Factory will be able to greatly improve its own technical level, and then to open up the international market can be a matter of course, Xiaoqiang, you are so familiar with people, and they are their technical consultants, you must help to say good things when negotiating." ”

Since you want to ask Niu Xiaoqiang for help, it will definitely not work if you don't want to. The previous 100,000 yuan was only a compensation, and the main target of this money was the Asian Machinery Factory.

Deputy Director Tian turned his head to look at the two department heads: "Lao Chen, Lao Li, since we ask someone to help, it doesn't work if we don't say it, do you think it's so reasonable?"

The two department heads all nodded their heads and agreed with the opinions of Deputy Director Tian.

Deputy Director Tian nodded with satisfaction and looked at Niu Xiaoqiang: "Xiaoqiang, as long as you are willing to help, your uncle will pay you 5,000 yuan for labor fees, do you think it's okay?"

Niu Xiaoqiang behaved very generously: "Uncle is too polite, help is due, and you can't say anything about collecting money." ”

Deputy Director Tian smiled and waved his hand: "The money must be collected, otherwise it will be unreasonable." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and pretended to hesitate: "Uncle Tian, if you can't negotiate, you can't blame me." ”

Deputy Director Tian couldn't help but smile and said, "As long as you do your best, no matter what the result is, Uncle won't blame you." ”

Looking at his expression, it was as if he didn't believe in failure at all.

Niu Xiaoqiang felt that it was better to remind him in advance, lest the other party not be able to accept the reality when he really failed. He frowned slightly, revealing a look of worry: "Uncle Tian, I have been working in Packard Automobile Company for a few months, and I still know a lot about the situation of this company, as far as I know, this company is not so easy to deal with. ”

Deputy Director Tian and others were all stunned when they heard this, and Niu Xiaoqiang continued without waiting for everyone to speak: "I mean, the leader they led the team this time is not very easy to speak, his temper is very strange, he can say anything when he is happy, and he can't say anything when he is unhappy." ”
