Chapter 732: Growing Up Against the Wind (Three Shifts)
The first reaction of the European media who received the invitation to the press conference of the AMC team was incredible: "Damn! They have really completed the development of the WRC car?"
That's too much of an exaggeration, isn't it?
Their first reaction was disbelief.
It's no wonder they don't believe it, but usually, the development cycle of a WRC car takes at least half a year, and some teams even start the development of next year's car at the beginning of the previous year, leaving more time for AMC to develop and develop?
The development of the race car was completed in such a short time, bragging, right?
But on the other hand, their expertise tells them that this seems to be true, because this kind of press conference is usually held after the teams have completed the registration of the teams and cars, since the AMC dares to hold this press conference, it means that they have completed the registration of the cars and teams, and the cars that do not comply with the WRC rules cannot be registered, that is, in this sense, they have really done it?!
Thinking of his previous cynicism about the AMC team and Chen Geng, all the media who realized this felt that their faces were hot......
Of course, there are also some media who scolded Huan before who were annoyed and angry......
But not all the media are struggling with this, and there are also media that react quickly and immediately think of another layer: whether this matter is true or false, just go directly to the WRC Organizing Committee and ask if it is?
If the AMC team really completes the registration work with the WRC Organizing Committee, then the WRC Organizing Committee will definitely have their registration materials there - although it is indeed a bit embarrassing to be slapped in the face by AMC, but it doesn't matter, we can also slap other media in the face before they react......
....................................
"Yes, they did complete the registration of the team and the car," said an official of the WRC organizing committee in an interview with reporters: "It was just three days ago, I was there at the time, and frankly, we were all surprised when Mr. Horner came to register the car, and as for the reason, I believe you media know ......"
The reporter interrupted him and asked, "Does their car comply with WRC rules?"
"Of course, it meets the rules, but if it doesn't, how can the organizing committee accept their registration?"
"But how did they do it?" the reporter couldn't understand at all: "It's been less than four months since Mr. Fernandez Chen decided to participate in next year's WRC to when they completed the registration of the car. β
The official of the WRC organizing committee who was interviewed shrugged helplessly: "Actually, I'm more curious about this issue than you are. β
It wasn't the answer the reporter wanted, but it was enough, and the next day the newspaper immediately reported that AMC would indeed be competing in next year's WRC with the headline "Exclusive Interview! WRC Organizing Committee Officials Confirm That AMC Cars Fully Comply with the Rules!".
In fact, there is nothing new in the report, let alone the analysis of this car, the name, driving method, characteristics, etc., all of which are not there, basically all of them are free play by reporters, and then by the way, mockery of other media: You second-hand goods, one by one, shouting that AMC and Mr. FernΓ‘ndez Chen are bragging, they can't develop a car that meets the rules of the WRC in such a short period of time, how is it now? Wha......
At the same time, he also praised himself by the way, and said in and out of words: Readers, do you want to read the newspaper or choose us, we are the most fair and objective media, different from those glamorous and cheap goods!
While saying this, the media completely forgot how it had changed its tricks to kill and mock AMC's "death" just a few days ago......
........................
Looking at such a shameless report by this media, Chen Geng suddenly burst out laughing: "Hey, what about the discipline of these media?"
"Discipline?" Jack Welch pouted with disdain, "As you often say, what is a festival and can you eat it?
β......β
This argument is so awesome, Chen Geng is completely speechless, he can only give a thumbs up and be convinced.
Jack Welch then changed the topic and said: "But thanks to these media reports, our sales have been getting better and better in the past few days." β
Although these media in Europe have been sneering at AMC during this time, whether it is positive reports or negative cynicism, but exposure is exposure, for ordinary consumers in Europe, they can see reports about AMC in different media almost every day, and at first they may have some negative impressions of AMC because of these reports, but people are rebellious psychology, and after a little time, many people's mentality has changed: you say that AMC is not good or bad all day long, why are they bad, you are saying one, two, three, fourWhat's the difference between me and my damn boss?
"Oh?"
"As of last week, we have sold nearly 2,000 vehicles in a single week, and if these media can continue to give us this kind of exposure, by the end of the year, it is estimated that we will be able to reach 8,000 monthly sales," said Jack Welch's happy back molars: "It is expected that by the middle of next year, we will be able to achieve the goal of selling 10,000 units a month ahead of schedule." β
The growth of sales is more difficult in the later stage, especially in Europe, which has been highly mature and developed in the automobile market, the market situation is basically saturated, and it belongs to the extent that AMC wants to take a bite from the mouths of other manufacturers, although looking at the whole of Europe, this sales situation is not very remarkable, but if it can really achieve annual sales of more than 100,000 units, AMC will be completely established in Europe.
Chen Geng is also very satisfied with this result, but his focus is no longer on simple sales growth, but on another level: "Have you been contacted by the governments of European countries?"
"Of course, I was about to tell you this," Jack Welch nodded: "At present, the Dutch government, the Belgian government, the Greek government and the Italian government have sent personnel to contact us, hoping that we can achieve European local production of these cars sold in Europe and provide jobs in Europe." β
Achieving localized production in Europe was an established strategy before, and it also helped to reduce costs, Chen Geng nodded: "Who gives the best conditions?"
"At the moment it's the Dutch government," says Jack Welch, "and they're promising concessions in terms of land, training, utilities and taxes, and it's about the same in Belgium, ...... Italy."
Jack Welch pouted: "I don't think Italy is a good choice. β
"Of course, it is impossible to go to Italy," Chen Geng laughed: "As for which country it is, it is of course very important what kind of preferential conditions their government gives, but if it is a country whose citizens are hungry and have the disease of Our Lady, we will not go to the conditions they give." β
In fact, Italy, France, and Germany, the three major auto industry powers in Europe, are not AMC's choice, Italy has the Italian national treasure Fiat Group, France has the Renault Group and PSA Group, and Germany has the three giants of BMW, Daimler, and Wolfsburg.
"Of course. Jack Welch nodded immediately.

Compared with the first time he met Chen Geng before, Leclerc Horner, who was sitting behind the podium at the moment, was full of red light and full of spirit.
Of course he was proud, when he was in the Fiat team, he was constrained by the group headquarters everywhere, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to, but after coming to the AMC team, the boss spared no effort to support him, asking for money for money, asking for people to give to people, and not to mention the treatment he gave himself, Jack Welch himself felt that in the face of such a boss, he didn't try his best to get a better and top result, it was unreasonable.

PS: The third update, sorry brothers, please wait a while.
