Chapter 854 Joint Venture Plan
Only when Niu Xiaoqiang achieves large-scale industrial production can super carbon steel reflect its true value. At that time, Niu Xiaoqiang can rely on the trump card of super carbon steel to gain a competitive advantage, so as to provide more powerful support for his future development.
American cars have always given the impression of being coarse, thick, and fuel-efficient, which greatly reduces the economy of a family car. Compared to Japanese or German cars, American-made cars do not have a competitive advantage.
If Packard cars can use super carbon steel to make their main components, it can greatly reduce the weight of the body, which can reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle and save the owner money.
Although super carbon steel is lightweight, it is very hard and extremely corrosion-resistant, far exceeding the aluminum materials widely used in the automotive industry. This can greatly improve the safety and durability of the vehicle, giving the owner the best value for money.
With such a reduction and a liter, Packard Motors will undoubtedly surpass other car brands in an all-round way, and as long as the quality is well controlled, it will be able to gain a good reputation among the customer group and provide a great boost to sales.
That's why Sam was so excited and looking forward to it.
Niu Xiaoqiang's thinking had already flown to another level, and he smiled slightly: "Let's talk about the joint venture next." β
Packard hesitated, "Joint venture, with whom?"
Niu Xiaoqiang explained: "When I talk about joint venture, I mean that Packard Motors and me will cooperate with our car factories in China to establish a production base in China. β
Packard showed a confused look: "These two companies can be said to be under your name, since they are both your companies, why bother to form a joint venture?
Several other people nodded when they heard this, unable to understand why Niu Xiaoqiang would do such a ridiculous thing.
Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't explain the inside story to them, these people didn't know much about the actual situation in China, and even if he could explain it clearly, he would need to spend a lot of effort.
In order to simplify the process, Niu Xiaoqiang can only use a reason that everyone can accept as an excuse: "In the automobile manufacturing industry, China does not allow wholly foreign-owned investment, and can only invest through joint ventures with domestic automobile companies, so even if I have an absolute controlling stake in two companies, I have to complete the operation through joint ventures." β
Another advantage of the joint venture is that it can be carried out in a tiger skin, as long as the Asian Machinery Factory and Packard Automobile Company signed a strategic cooperation agreement, it is equivalent to having a talisman, whether it is Yuejin Automobile Factory or Nanfeng Automobile Factory, it is impossible to suppress it openly as before, and can only secretly engage in some small actions.
This is very conducive to Niu Xiaoqiang to open up the situation of the automobile manufacturing industry in China and extricate himself from the existing predicament.
At present, Asian machinery factories are simply unable to source parts from China, which is the result of pressure from the two major auto giants. People casually send a word, those spare parts manufacturers will not dare to do business with the Asian Machinery Factory, otherwise the Asian Machinery Factory will not be forced to switch to the production of motorcycles.
In the name of a joint venture, the relevant departments of the state will support the administrative support, so that the restrictions imposed by the two auto giants on Asian machinery factories will inevitably be relaxed. Even if you can't completely get out of the predicament, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't tell these people, so as not to hit their confidence. In order not to make mistakes, Niu Xiaoqiang specially reminded: "Everyone, there is something I hope you can pay attention to. β
The four Americans all looked at Niu Xiaoqiang with curious eyes, and Niu Xiaoqiang continued: "Only a few people know about my business in China, and before I announce this news myself, I hope you can keep this secret for me, in addition, I also hope that you can keep it secret from other Chinese when I open a company in the United States." β
This made it even more difficult for the four of them to understand, and Packard wondered, "Why is that?"
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "I don't like to be in the limelight, if I know more people, I need to spend more energy to deal with some trivial things, it is better to be low-key, which can make me more focused on making suggestions for the development of the company." β
The four of them nodded slightly, they understood it, and Niu Xiaoqiang preferred to be low-key. This is Niu Xiaoqiang's freedom, and Americans respect other people's choices and understand this.
Sam thought of another question: "We can keep this secret for you, but you will be involved in the specific affairs of the company in the future, and if someone asks about your identity, how will we answer?"
Niu Xiaoqiang had already thought of the answer: "If others ask, you will say that I am the company's technical consultant, and I also arranged it in the hunter company, Mr. Sam, please remind those scientific researchers, lest they leak their mouths." β
Sam nodded, "No problem, I'll remind them later." β
Next, Niu Xiaoqiang discussed many details with everyone, and kept talking about getting off work soon.
Linda and Niu Xiaoqiang got up to say goodbye, and the two drove home separately.
Niu Xiaoqiang went home and started to cook dinner, and before half past five, Kailina also came back to help Niu Xiaoqiang cook together.
At dinner, Niu Xiaoqiang told Karina about his stake in Packard Automobile Company.
Karina was not surprised to know that Niu Xiaoqiang was very keen on the automotive industry, and she was more concerned about the huge loan: "Have you figured out how to repay the huge loan of Packard Motor Company?"
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and handed the patent information in the backpack to Karina: " This is Packard's patented technology, and I will sign a contract with you in the name of the chairman of the company, and the hunter company will sell these patents on behalf of you, as long as it is done properly, you can still make some money, of course, 37 million dollars is not a small amount, I can't pay it back in the short term, and I have other investment plans, even if I have money, it is impossible to pay it all back to the bank, I am going to talk to the bank tomorrow to see if they can extend the repayment period, as long as I give me a year, I am sure to repay the moneyγ β
If someone else said this kind of thing, Kailina would probably have to consider the truth, but Niu Xiaoqiang was different. Kailina has been with Niu Xiaoqiang for so long, and she has long known Niu Xiaoqiang very well, she knows that Niu Xiaoqiang will plan carefully no matter what she does, and it is impossible to come nonsense.
I saw her nod slightly: "You just have to take care of the balance yourself, if you need my help, you can tell me directly." β
