Chapter 942: You Dare to Slander Even the Leader? (Four watches, two shifts)
Facts have proved that Lin Hongfei and Rostock's estimation of Volkswagen is not wrong at all, and before Lin Hongfei and Rostock can figure out a way, the phone in Lin Hongfei's office rang, and as soon as the phone was connected, Uncle Wang's voice rang, "Xiaolin, did Volkswagen help you get an invitation to the Sao Paulo International Auto Show held in Sao Paulo, Brazil in November?" β
"There is such a thing," Lin Hongfei couldn't figure out what Uncle Wang meant by this phone call for a while, and he was much more cautious between his words, "We are discussing this matter." β
"And what do you guys think?"
Lin Hongfei couldn't say that we thought this was a big plot by Volkswagen to deal with us, so we were thinking about whether to convince you not to go, so we had to say, "Of course we are very happy to be able to participate in the SΓ£o Paulo International Motor Show, but we also have some concerns. β
"Huh?" Lin Hongfei's answer did not surprise Uncle Wang, such a big thing, it would be really strange if Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Lin Hongfei didn't have any concerns, he nodded, "Tell me, what are you worried about?" β
"First of all, I just asked a foreign friend to consult, although the Sao Paulo International Auto Show in Brazil has the name of an international auto show, but it has only been held for less than 5 sessions, not only has little influence in South America, but even in the whole of Brazil is not a large influence of the auto show, and there is no way to compare with the world's five major auto shows," Lin Hongfei said here, paused slightly, and then continued, "But this auto show that has almost no influence in the world is very high. Together with the cost of field rentals, accommodation, and other expenses, a conservative estimate would not be less than $700,000, which is not a small number. β
$700,000 is certainly not a small number. If this money is given by the state, it is fine, but obviously this is impossible, the state cannot come up with 700,000 US dollars to play with Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., to be honest, 700,000 US dollars is converted into RMB is about 6 million, with this 6 million, how many dormitory buildings and office buildings can be built?
6 million, that's a lot of money!
Uncle Wang didn't know what to say for a while, but Lin Hongfei had no intention of stopping, he continued. "If the $700,000 is worth it, it's nothing, and it's just about promoting and word-of-mouth for our company's products, but now it seems that at least within five years. It is unlikely that our company's cars will be sold in South America, since we have no market in South America, especially Brazil. The $700,000 seems to have been unjustly spent...... Of course. If the state supports us to participate in this SΓ£o Paulo International Motor Show, we can also try it based on the needs of domestic publicity. β
It's not just a little wronged, listening to Lin Hongfei say this, Uncle Wang, who originally thought that this matter could be operated with great interest, already thought in his heart that this was a stupid move to take money to wasteΓ since Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has no plans to sell cars to Brazil in recent years. Participating in this auto show, except for the cost of labor and money and adding a political achievement and luster to the faces of some leaders, there is no other role to be seen. But......
The words "five major international auto shows" mentioned by Lin Hongfei just now reminded him and hesitated. Uncle Wang still asked, "What are the five major international auto shows?" Internationally...... Is it influential? β
This question is purely redundant, can it be crowned as the "international five" auto show, can the influence be small?
"It is the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, the Detroit Auto Show in the United States, the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, the Paris Motor Show in France and the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, the five international auto shows, and the most influential automobile manufacturers and automobile industry supporting manufacturers in the world to show their image and strength of the best stage, every move has a huge impact on the development of the world's automobile industry, and can be considered the vane of the development of the world's automobile industry."
Lin Hongfei said simply, but Uncle Wang immediately took it to heart, "Since these five major auto shows have such a great influence...... Has your company considered participating in these five major auto shows? β
"Tsk......" Lin Hongfei suddenly gasped with a toothache, this eldest brother of his father-in-law, he really dared to think about it, to participate in the five major auto shows? He had to remind Uncle Wang, "According to the habit of the five major auto show preparatory committees, all manufacturers participating in the auto show must be international automobile manufacturers...... At the very least, they must be able to sell their domestically produced cars to foreign countries. β
This requirement is really a bit difficult for Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., maybe it will be possible in a few years, right? Uncle Wang thought about it with little confidence, and really returned to the previous question, "But some leaders think that Volkswagen actively helps you coordinate your participation in the Sao Paulo International Motor Show in Brazil, which is a goodwill signal from Volkswagen to your company, Volkswagen has made a lot of contributions to the development of the automobile industry in the Republic, and if you reject Volkswagen's kindness, it will inevitably make our old friends sad." β
There are really not many people who can be called "leaders" by Uncle Wang, and they don't dare to say that they can be counted on two hands, but there are definitely not many, but Lin Hongfei obviously lacks the necessary respect for the leaders of these old friends who care about the "republic", snorted and said, "In order not to make our old friends sad, you want to make our company lose money?" β
"Poof......" Uncle Wang, who was drinking water, was suddenly choked by Lin Hongfei's words, and a sip of tea unceremoniously squirted out, and his image was suddenly lost, fortunately, there is no one in his office now, but he is not afraid that his image at the moment will be seen, and he is busy wiping the water marks on the table, and said to Lin Hongfei angrily, "This is the idea of the leaders, can you refuse?" Do you have the right to say no?! β
What do you say...... How can it be so real?
But Lin Hongfei also had to admit that although this was true, it said the key to this matter: since this matter has received the attention of some senior leaders, participating in the Sao Paulo International Auto Show in Brazil is not a simple business event, to a certain extent, this matter has been raised to a political level, regardless of whether Lin Hongfei and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are willing or not, they must participate...... As ridiculous and nonsensical as it sounds, it can't be helped, it's politics. Damn politics!
"So we're going to be at this car show?" Lin Hongfei's voice sounded a little weak, anyone who knew that there was a trap full of bamboo thorns in front of him, and there were people pushing him to jump into the trap, I am afraid that he would not be in a good mood, at this time Lin Hongfei couldn't care so much, and couldn't help but complain, "Didn't those leaders think about it, why did Volkswagen suddenly be so enthusiastic to help us, wouldn't there be any conspiracy here?" Even in the Internationale, it is sung that 'there has never been a savior', since the founding of the People's Republic of China, have we suffered less losses, why can't these leaders see this clearly? β
Tut...... Uncle Wang suddenly had a headache: he knew that this son-in-law of his third brother was not an ordinary unruly, but he didn't expect this kid to be unruly to such an extent, and even the leader dared to slander you?
Uncle Wang was wrong, strictly speaking, this has exceeded the level of belly slander, belly slander is just two sentences of scolding in the stomach, Lin Hongfei is already accusing the IQ level of the big leaders above in front of the country's senior leaders...... To a certain extent, Lin Hongfei made a serious political mistake, and based on these words alone, if he had been 15 years ago, he would have been able to beat Lin Hongfei into a bull ghost and a snake god.
"What's the use of saying that?" Uncle Wang, who was in a bad mood, naturally didn't have any good intentions, "Even if Volkswagen has no good intentions, but the leaders think it's a good thing, what can you do?" What can I do? β
Lin Hongfei was suddenly choked half to death!
Since the leader insisted that this was Volkswagen's learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds, and wanted to use this way to turn the conflict with Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., what could he do as a small deputy director-level cadre? Want to use your thin little arms to fight the leader's elephant legs? Don't be funny!
"In short, since things are already like this, you don't think Volkswagen has any good intentions, then you should have prepared early, isn't it almost half a year before the Sao Paulo International Motor Show in Brazil? After all this time, you still can't think of a way to deal with it? Okay, that's it, you have to participate in this auto show, and if you don't participate, you have to participate, this is a political task! Uncle Wang, who was half angry by Lin Hongfei, finished speaking, and didn't wait for Lin Hongfei to speak, and immediately hung up the phone angrily...... He was really worried that if he said a few words to Lin Hongfei, a little bastard, he would be angry with him.
"Lao Luo, did you see it?" Lin Hongfei looked at the beeping telephone, and then looked at Rostock, who had been listening to him and Uncle Wang with his ears pricked up, with a wry smile and helplessness on his face.
"See," Rostock's face wrinkled like a bitter melon, muttered, "damn politics!" I love democracy! β
"If democracy is even more troublesome, maybe Volkswagen can directly use money to smash us to death, who has more money to fight with Volkswagen? I really don't see any hope of winning," Lin Hongfei said to Rostock unceremoniously, "It's better to play politics, at least we don't have no political resources at all...... Lao Luo, you are busy next. β
Rostock, of course, knew what Lin Hongfei meant by this, and he sighed, "Lin, I must say that it is really a painful thing to get your salary. β
"Isn't that why you came to me?" Lin Hongfei winked at Rostock, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed. (To be continued.) )
