Zhang Feng was a little nervous, he was a little worried about whether Chen Geng was in trouble.

"It's nothing," Chen Geng smiled slightly, and said: "AMC is now working hard to open up the European market, and it is estimated that there is a tough battle to fight with the traditional European auto giants, and now of course we have to accumulate more ammunition." ”

"Are you exploring the European market?"

Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this result.

If this is the case, it is understandable that Chen Geng asked for an extension of the checkout cycle, as Chen Geng said, he needs to accumulate some more "ammunition" before the war begins.

The next moment, Zhang Feng immediately realized one thing: if AMC is ready to open the European market, doesn't that mean that if Chen Geng can really open this market, the number of various spare parts they purchase in Huaxia in the future will be even more, maybe it can be directly doubled?

Realizing this, Zhang Feng immediately said: "No problem!

After a pause, probably thinking that this could not reflect his attitude, Zhang Feng then said: "Mr. Chen, if there is anything we can help with, just ask, don't be polite...... Well, what's going on in Europe right now?"

"It's not bad, we sold more than 1,600 cars in Europe last month, and we got orders for another 3,800 units, so according to our estimates, we will be able to sell about 5,000 cars this month. ”

Zhang Feng immediately began to calculate in his heart: 5,000 vehicles can be sold in a month, but AMC has just entered the European market, and there will inevitably be a continuous upward stage of sales in the future, that is, in the next six months, AMC may achieve monthly sales of about 10,000 units in the European market?

But this should not be Chen Geng's desired goal, now that AMC's annual sales in the United States are about to reach 1 million, is he only satisfied with annual sales of more than 100,000 vehicles in Europe?

With Zhang Feng's understanding of Chen Geng, he didn't think so.

Also, after the European market, does Chen Geng have no ideas about South America, North Africa and Asia?

Obviously, this is not possible.

Is his move in Europe seen as a signal for AMC to develop the global market?

Now AMC is still only in a corner of the U.S. market, has achieved millions of annual sales, if they grow into a global car company, what kind of height can their annual sales reach? The most important thing is, AMC's global strategy, is there an opportunity for China to take advantage of?

Realizing this possibility, Zhang Feng was instantly excited: Opportunity!

But before that, one thing must be confirmed with Chen Geng.

Zhang Feng tried his best to adjust his mood, and said to Chen Geng with a smile: "5,000 vehicles? That's really amazing, if I'm not mistaken, this is the first month for AMC to enter the European market, right?"

"Well, yes. Chen Geng nodded.

"That's even more remarkable," Zhang Feng patted his thigh: "According to this trend, when everything is on the right track, AMC's monthly sales in Europe must not be twenty or thirty thousand?"

Zhang Feng tentatively gave a sales situation that he thought was exaggerated.

"Hehe......"

Chen Geng smiled, he shook his head with a smile: "Twenty or thirty thousand monthly sales? If my goal is only to sell twenty or thirty thousand cars in Europe a month, there is no need for me to deliberately extend the account period with China." ”

Really!

Holding back his excitement, Zhang Feng asked tentatively: "Then I take the liberty of asking, AMC's target in the European market is ......"

"One-tenth," Chen Geng cocked up a finger, "We want one-tenth of Europe's market share." ”

After speaking, Chen Geng smiled embarrassedly: "Of course, this is our long-term goal, whether we can achieve this depends on luck...... Isn't that a little too crazy?"

Zhang Feng only felt a "buzzing" sound ......in his head.

Frankly speaking, he doesn't know how big the entire European car market is, but he has accidentally read a statistic before, saying that as of 1982, the size of the American automobile market is more than 5.5 million new cars and more than 12 million used cars sold annually......

500,000 units!

Monthly sales are almost 40,000 units!

What about other markets?

If China can hold Chen Geng's thighs tightly, how much more money can be made in a year? !

Finally came back to his senses, Zhang Feng hurriedly shook his head, and said seriously: "Mr. Chen, what you said, if you don't even have this ambition, how can you make the enterprise bigger......?" I'm sure this won't be too far off. ”

"Hah...... Then I will lend you auspicious words. ”

........................

After reviewing the list of all the spare parts required for a car that Chen Geng brought, everyone was surprised to find that in addition to the front and rear metal bumpers, horns, wires and other parts with low technical content and processing accuracy requirements, there are also some parts that we can make with our efforts.

In addition, we can also produce cloth covers, cowhides, and light bulbs for seats.

If the parts that we can do now are classified as the first category, then the parts that we can make after half a year or even a year can be classified as the second category, which includes wiper arms, wiper blades, radio antennas, vehicle jacks, fuses, relays, ......

These are all of our domestic already has a certain foundation, but limited by manufacturing capacity, there is a gap between the parts and components made by international manufacturers, but if we are given a certain amount of time to improve, and then ask Chen Geng to send someone to our manufacturers to know the technology, can we produce qualified products that meet the requirements of AMC?

Of course, it is impossible for Chen Geng to get rid of the original suppliers and adopt all of our products, but even if we can only win one-third or even a quarter of the share, what kind of piece of meat will it be? How much foreign exchange income will it bring to the country in a year?

Aware of this, even higher-level leaders can't be calm.

is still the same sentence, the current Huaxia is poor.

Although after more than 30 years of efforts, we have initially established basic industrial categories, but with the rise of the emerging technological revolution represented by computer and semiconductor technology, we are about to be separated by the world.

What does it mean to widen the gap?

means backwardness;

What does it mean to be backward?

It means to be beaten.

In this world, I am afraid that there is no other nation that has a deep understanding of the six words "if you are backward, you will be beaten" more deeply than the Chinese nation, so the country must reform and open up, vigorously develop science and technology, and vigorously develop the economy...... Without money, there can be no talk of developing science and technology.

And now, it seems, there is an opportunity to make a lot of money.

How can this be missed?

After holding a meeting for three days to discuss this matter, on the fourth day, Zhang Feng found Chen Geng again, and after some greetings, he explained his intentions: "Mr. Chen, after the leaders learned about your European market development plan, they are very interested in your plan......

"So ......"

"Don't you keep mentioning 'win-win'," seeing that Chen Geng was really interested, Zhang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We also hope to achieve a win-win situation with you." ”

"You say. Chen Geng nodded with interest.

"First of all, the account period, we can take the year as a unit, the year end!" Zhang Feng waved his hand vigorously: "If the annual settlement is inconvenient, a longer account period can also be discussed, in short, in terms of finance, although our conditions are also limited, we will do our best to support you." ”

"Thank you," Chen Geng was a little moved, but he still declined this kindness: "It's almost enough to settle in half a year, if you mix it up to the point where you need to end the year......"

Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "Then whether it is for me or for our partners, this is too much of a failure." ”

Zhang Feng was a little surprised, he originally thought that Chen Geng should be ...... when he heard himself say that he could end the year Not to mention ecstatic, at least he should be very happy, but he didn't expect Chen Geng to reject his year-end proposal so simply.

For a while, Zhang Feng was extremely surprised: What did this guy think? Doesn't he know the benefits of the New Year's end to him?

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Feng still reminded Chen Geng euphemistically: "Mr. Chen, maybe I don't understand very clearly, this fund ...... We don't want interest. ”

"I understand what you mean," Chen Geng smiled and nodded, "I also appreciate your kindness, but it's really not necessary...... Well, I have my own bank, if it really comes to that point, it is not so difficult for me to coordinate some funds, but you, once the year ends, many companies may have a very hard time, this is not the situation we want to see, we have always hoped that AMC's suppliers can grow healthily with AMC. So ......"

Chen Geng paused and said, "Half a year is fine, and having a half-year account period is enough for AMC." ”

“......”

Zhang Feng was speechless for a while, it was the first time he encountered this kind of initiative to extend the account period when his own side took the initiative to extend the account period, the other side politely refused this kind of kindness, with the continuous progress of reform and opening up, since the second half of last year, the number of foreign investors who have come to invest in China has been a lot more than in the previous two years, and the various requirements of these foreign investors have opened the eyes of domestic officials:! Can you do this?

As for the account period, the most outrageous requirement that everyone encounters is five years.

Five years.

This means that what I sold to you in the first year will not be paid back until five years later, isn't that nonsense?

Unexpectedly, when he took the initiative to extend the account period, Chen Geng actually declined, which is really ......

It's just that Chen Gengwan rejected his kindness, what should we say about our next requirements and conditions?
