Chapter 273: Chen Geng's Bad Taste
The information Piayura brought back frightened the officials of the Bangkok city government, large and small.
Even with the phone call from the U.S. Embassy in Thailand, Mr. Fernandez Chan is the largest investor Thailand has attracted since the introduction of a market economy in 1962...... At the very least, it is one of the largest investors in the Bangkok area.
But shouldn't such a powerful investor be reluctantly agreed by us to the door-to-door repeated invitations and countless preferential conditions, how could he take the initiative to come to the door?
In a word, the Bangkok city government, which was poor and scared, had a kind of surprise when it was hit on the head by a gold brick falling from the sky: is this true? This is true? This is really true?
Confirmation!
It must be verified!
The Bangkok city government, which reacted, immediately asked the Thai Embassy in the United States to repeatedly verify the authenticity of the Fernandez company.
The news came one after another, and many things on the information given by Chen Geng were determined one after another......
Fernandez does have a second-hand car dismantling business, but because Fernandez is not a listed company, the scale of the business remains to be further verified;
Fernandez does have an aircraft dismantling company under its umbrella;
Mr. Chen did help Chrysler Motors design a mid-class sedan called "Family", which caused a huge sensation in the United States as soon as it was launched, and was in short supply from the beginning of its launch, and won several awards around the world. Chrysler's financial situation was originally very dangerous, but with this car, Chrysler's financial situation is rapidly improving;
At the just-concluded Detroit International Auto Show in North America, Mr. FernΓ‘ndez Chen helped Ford design a sedan called "Victoria Crown" which became the two biggest points of the auto show. The Ford Victoria Crown is being tested by the local police department, as well as a number of taxi companies, the Central Intelligence Bureau, and the U.S. police system, and if the performance meets the requirements of these government departments, they are likely to purchase it in large quantities, and the new car, which is not yet on the market, has already received more than 20,000 pre-orders......
The Honda X-BO sports car, which has a huge influence among Southeast Asian fans and is regarded as an "artifact" by countless fans in Dongying, is the work of Mr. Fernandez Chen;
Mr. Chen owns a modified car factory, and he is one of the largest used car dealers in the United States......
............
The information given by this Mr. FernΓ‘ndez turned out to be all true, and it was not an exaggeration at all.
Looking at these materials that came one after another, the officials of the entire Bangkok city government, large and small, were shocked to shocked at the beginning, and then from shock to numbness, and finally all were dumbfounded.
After confirming the authenticity of Mr. Fernandes, the Bangkok city government directly ushered in the edict of King Rama IX: with the greatest sincerity, keep Mr. Fernandez and choose a suitable time to invite Mr. Fernandez to the palace.
So what else is there to say?
His Majesty the King has personally issued an edict, and everyone only needs to follow it carefully.
It was also at this time that another thing happened that stunned the main leaders of the Bangkok city government: Mr. Nagami Yoshi, the vice president of Dongying Honda Motor Co., Ltd., came to Thailand, and his only purpose in Thailand was to find Mr. Fernandez Chen.
Compared with Chen Geng and Fernandes, who are unknown in Thailand, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is much more famous in Thailand, so to speak, up to ninety-nine, down to go, almost no one has not heard of Honda's name: in Thailand, everyone is proud to own a motorcycle of the Toei brand, and Honda is the first choice of most Thais - Kume is the appearance of vice president, which also strongly proves the identity of Mr. Fernandez Chen from another side.
........................
"Jun Chen, you really make it easy for me to find. Kume Shizhi, who was sitting opposite Chen Geng, said to Chen Geng with a wry smile.
"The needs of the company's business, no way," Chen Geng shook his head, he was in a relaxed mood, and asked Kume Shizhi with a smile: "Mr. Kume, we are also old friends, let's say, what are you going to do?"
Without waiting for Kume Shizhi to speak, Chen Geng added: "Those words that are obviously impossible for me to agree, don't say them, it's a waste of each other's time, I don't think you want to run for nothing again, right?"
Kume Noshi: "......"
That's true!
Kume Shishi thought about it carefully, and he really couldn't continue to waste time for some unnecessary things, since this was the case......
"What you're talking about," Kume nodded with a sincere expression, "then...... Jun Chen, could you please tell me what kind of price Honda Motor will pay to cooperate with us?"
An expression of "you are a knife, I am a fish, you can cut as you want, and chop as you want".
If you think about it carefully, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is also very difficult to deal with how to cooperate with Fernandez, and they have signed a cooperation agreement with the Huaxia Modu Municipal Government to officially kick Wolfsburg out of Huaxia;
After kicking Wolfsburg out of the game, Wolfsburg's previous ban order has automatically expired, and automobile production line manufacturers in Europe and the United States have successively expressed their willingness to provide any company with the equipment they need - in fact, it is to tell Chen Gengjun that they are ready to admit it - as a result, enterprises in the machinery industry and electronics industry in Dongying have no bargaining chips and capital to bargain with Chen Gengjun.
The current Chen Gengjun has the ability to pick and choose, but Honda is embarrassed because Honda has no Honda to bargain with Mr. Chen Geng.
In the U.S. market, the dominance of American cars is not a good thing for itself. Chen Geng thought for a while and asked Kume Shishi, "What does Giugiaro Design Studio say?"
Hearing Chen Geng's words, Kume Shizhi's spirit suddenly perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Giugiaro said that if you are willing to participate in this project, this project is jointly designed by you and Giugiaro Design Studio, but it was designed by you, and your name can be ranked first. As for the cost, you can take 60%. β
The remaining forty percent goes to Giugiaro Design Studio.
"That's ......"
Chen Geng touched his chin and thought about it: "I have a suggestion, I don't know if you want to listen to it?"
"Tell me. Kume Shishi said immediately, and his attitude became more and more respectful.
"My cooperation with Modu Automobile Factory requires two new products. β
"Yes, I know. Kume Shizhi nodded hurriedly, he already had a vague premonition that Chen Geng was going to say something, and his heart suddenly became excited: Could it be ......
"I can license one of these designs to you for a fee, well, of course, what do you think if you approve of the design?"
Kume is ambitious.
The products he designed for Chrysler and Ford are already so good, it is impossible for the design he uses for himself to be worse than the design for others, right? The normal logic should be better.
If it's a better design, it's really best to use it directly, but for the sake of insurance, after hesitating for a while, Kume Shishi still cautiously asked: "I know I can't ask too much detail now, but can you give me a brief description of the basic parameters of this car?"
"Of course," Chen Geng nodded: "This is a mid-level car with a positioning similar to 'family', but considering the actual situation in Huaxia, the configuration I gave them is relatively brief, but the configuration of this thing, we can adjust it at any time according to the needs of the market, right?"
"Yes. β
"OK," Chen Geng nodded: "I named this car 'Camry', codenamed VX10, the wheelbase of this car is 2617mm, the body size is 4770mm*1771mm*1400mm, it is a front-wheel drive model, in terms of power, it can be equipped with a variety of engines of 1.8 liters and 2.0 liters, and the cabin can accommodate a V6 engine with a displacement of no more than 3.8 liters, and the gearbox can be matched with automatic and manual transmissions as needed. β
That's right, Chen Geng directly moved the third-generation Camry, and it is the VX10 version of the third-generation Camry, which is the largest and exclusively for the European and American markets, rather than the V30 version that is exclusively for Dongying's local and is one size smaller in size and wheelbase - Toyota's family model Camry was given to Honda, which is definitely Chen's bad taste.
Kume frowned inexplicably: "The body size is similar to the 'family', but the wheelbase seems to be a little smaller than the 'family'." β
"Yes," Chen Geng did not deny this: "However, because of the optimization of space in the design, in fact, the riding space of the two cars is about the same, and even if there is a gap, it is a millimeter difference." β
"That's ......"
Kumi is zhi groaned, since Chen Gengjun dared to say this, it must be no problem, the millimeter-level space gap is really nothing, but for the sake of safety, he still cautiously asked Chen Geng: "So, when will your car be completed?"
There is nothing that can't be said about this, Chen Geng said: "Now it has entered the trial production of the S1 version. β
"So fast?!" Kume was taken aback.
The so-called S1 version is the last engineering validation version before mass production.
ββββββββ
PS: Wait for 2 minutes.
Is it enough to finish?"
There is nothing that can't be said about this, Chen Geng said: "Now it has entered the trial production of the S1 version. β
"So fast?!" Kume was taken aback.
The so-called S1 version is the last engineering validation version before mass production.
