Chapter 1185 Exhibition
Then one of the biggest problems in cooperation between everyone is solved, so it will be much easier to deal with the nail situation. But it is only limited to easy to do, although there is now a preliminary intention, but such a large investment project, which requires the details of the business spine, if recorded, I am afraid that it is thicker than several books, and it is not too much to describe it with the phrase "the road is long and its cultivation is far away".
After all, it is a super project of tens of billions, and there is still a long way to go from now to the final completion of this project, and it is conservatively estimated that it is already thankful to be able to officially sign the contract at this time next year, not to mention that the old men above still want to mix in it after their minds are flexible, I don't know how many guys still want to get a piece of the pie, and there are still things.
Over there, Jill was in charge of the negotiations for the shipyard project. Here, Xiao Zhang Lan was not idle, and began to prepare for the Frankfurt Motor Show in mid-September.
Alice Group's preparations for the Frankfurt Motor Show are now in the final stages. As one of the world's top five motor shows, the Frankfurt Motor Show has always been known for its technical skills. Among the world's five major auto shows, the Frankfurt Motor Show has always been known as the "World Automobile Industry Olympic Games", to be able to withstand such an honor, the technical and authoritative nature of the Frankfurt Motor Show is undoubted, all the world's automobile manufacturers, all to be able to release their own company's new cars and new automotive technologies at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Counting the intensity of new cars and new technology releases at the world's five major auto shows, perhaps the Frankfurt Motor Show is not the largest number of new car releases, but it is definitely the highest gold content, but all new cars or new technologies released are definitely the most technical in the automotive industry, which has even been recognized by the world and can appear in the highest event in the automotive industry such as the Frankfurt Motor Show. In itself, it is a recognition of the strength of the automaker. It's just a little helpless that the domestic automobile manufacturing industry seems to have been missing from the five major auto shows, although the domestic auto industry is developing vigorously and rapidly, and the auto exhibitions are also endless, but since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the figure of domestic auto manufacturers has never appeared in these five major auto shows, and even the country has not come out of the Tokyo auto show relatively late. However, domestic automobile manufacturers are still as uncompetitive as ever, and they have not even appeared at the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, which has the least qualifications.
The reason for this. Not because of anything else, because these five major auto shows have extremely strict requirements for exhibitors, one of which is: to have their own brand of cars!
This point is precisely the point, has become the biggest weakness of domestic automobile manufacturers, although the domestic automobile production with the economic situation year by year and the output of the increase year by year, and showing a blowout development trend. However, all the models that sell well in China are all joint venture cars, and there is almost no private brand model.
Although domestic automakers receive a large amount of subsidies from the state treasury every year, they are really embarrassed to do in terms of technological development and brand awareness.
The lack of congenital conditions directly limits the pace of domestic automobile manufacturers to participate in the five major auto shows, and the domestic automobile manufacturers are only entangled in the short-sighted eyes of the domestic automobile market, so that they are entangled in these small copper coins in front of them, but they forget that not far away is waving at their own bright gold bricks that can dazzle the eyes of blind people.
Alice Group is probably the only domestic automobile manufacturer whose production base is in China, but dares to participate in the five major auto shows, although Alice Group is also a Sino-foreign joint venture in its essence, but the particularity of Alice Group's financial background and the establishment of automobile brands has made the organizing committee of the five major auto shows have to agree to the requirements of Alice Group to participate in the exhibition. Despite their companies and joint ventures.
Right now. Alice Group is working the models on display.
"This is the model we have preliminarily determined for this exhibition." Elaine placed the list of models that the company had previously scheduled to exhibit in front of Zhang, "The models on display cover all the models that our group currently produces and licenses to other car manufacturers, and after negotiations with Ford Motor and Ferrari, we can also release several models that we have previously cooperated with them." Do you see if there is anything else you need to add? Small.
In the past few years, due to the limitations of the domestic market, Alice Group has successively authorized the production of its own series of pickup trucks, which were actually developed by Ford Group itself a few years later.
These pickup trucks, as well as several variants derived from the chassis of these cars, have made Ford make a lot of money in the pickup truck market in the United States.
Watching others put money in the target, but he only has to watch. Zhang Lan has no voice at this point. This is what the general environment looks like, and the pickup truck, which is a symbol of the car driven by the poor in China, has become a symbol of the car driven by the rich in the United States. Although the quality and luxury of domestic pickups are indeed incomparable with those of the old United States.
The current Alice Group has become a very much Ford Motor Design Company, but all the models designed by the Alice Group. There is no one that does not become a money-making machine for Ford, and of course, the return that Alice Group received from Ford Motor also made Zhang Lan smile crookedly.
As for the three models that have cooperated with the Ferrari Group, from the beginning to the present, although they have undergone several partial modifications during the period, there have been basically no major changes, and until now, these three models have firmly helped the Alice Group and the Ferrari Group grasp the pulse of the supercar market, and now, Ferrari's boss Luca Montezeimoro is more than once glad that he chose a very good partner. "There are only a few existing models. Isn't it a little out of place? Zhang Lan frowned, seriously took a large number of models on this form, and couldn't help frowning: There are too many models, and it is impossible to distinguish the priority at all.
This kid is actually very dissatisfied, the existing exhibited models have covered the Longxuan six series and nine series, four business vehicles, an off-road vehicle, two Longxuan sports cars developed by the network to defend and must, and Ferrari a Alice Yangyo, Stretch and 6, B. plus the three pickup trucks licensed to Ford, the models on display this time have even reached an unprecedented proportion. ,
But it's really like what this kid said, so many cars, it's already too much, participating in the car exhibition is not going to the farmers' market, everyone is trying to put out all the things they can have, and when they tie up the exhibition, the primary and secondary issues must be clarified, the focus of the exhibition is not easy to be highlighted, and it must be screened again.
"Well, that's what we think too." Elaine nodded, obviously she also thought that there were a lot of exhibited models reported by the people below this time.
It's no wonder that the planners below, these models of the Alice Group, all of them are the best of the best, any one of them is lovely, give up any of the liver pain that hurts, look at this reluctant to cut down. Look at the one that is reluctant to cut it down, and in the end, it will naturally become like this.
"It's not okay like this" Zhang Lan muttered, picked up the pen and pulled it with a big pen, and directly crossed out Ford's three pickups.
"That's right" After facing the remaining models, he couldn't get his hands on it anyway, Zhang Lan finally thought of a new question, "What is the booth area we set this time?"
Hearing Zhang Lan ask this question, Elaine proudly raised a pink little finger ""Our booth area is the largest, Mercedes-Benz's booth area is square, and BMW's is persuaded to be squared." Volkswagen is jumping square, Ford is a square coffee, and the others are roughly about a square foot, and even Ferrari has won a square booth for a few cars. Small.
Well, the booth area is the largest. I guess the exhibition fee is not very cheap, right? But these guys are really taking money too badly. Zhang Lan muttered in her heart, a large area is a good thing, at least she doesn't have to worry about which models to play for the exhibitors, but if the location of the booth is not very good, it will be depressing.
"Elaine, show me the booth map." Thinking that since he decided to participate in the Frankfurt Motor Show and set up a booth, he had never cared much about this matter, Zhang Lan was even more depressed.
It seemed that Zhang Lan had been prepared for Zhang Lan's request, and after Zhang Lan asked about the location of the booth, Elaine quickly unfolded a large piece of printing paper and placed it in front of Zhang Lan. This booth distribution map is indeed large enough, it is directly a piece of base paper, and the booth positions of various automobile manufacturers are clearly marked on it.
Before the official start of the auto show, if this booth map was announced, it is estimated that many people will be anxious to jump their feet, and the degree of depression is estimated to be equivalent to the model they want to release in advance.
"This picture is the final booth plan, and it has been finalized." Elaine explained to Zhang Lan, and her slender fingers pointed to Zhang Lan on the booth map, "Our booth is in this place, enter from the main entrance and turn left." The second booth is ours. ”
