Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Geng Jie nodded and said: "Yes, Scania trucks were later acquired by Saab Group. Scania trucks are really durable. We have always wanted to introduce Scania's DS14-liter 8V diesel engine technology. , it’s a pity that it has never been possible!”

He Jianye also said: "I really don't have much impression of Saab, but I know about Scania heavy-duty trucks. The Northwest Heavy Machinery Factory was allocated two trucks because of the need for large-scale transportation. It had been acquired by Saab. ah!"

"Director He, the predecessor of Saab Group is a Swedish aircraft manufacturing company. Their turbocharging technology originated from aero engines. When Scania Heavy Truck Company was willing to be acquired by Saab, it also took a fancy to Saab's technology! "Yang Mo introduced patiently.

"Mr. Yang, what technologies are you planning to use to cooperate with us this time? Do you have any specific ideas?" Geng Jie asked with a hopeful look on his face.

Yang Mo laughed and said: "Currently, Scania's heavy-duty trucks are positioned in the mid-to-high-end markets of Europe and the United States. They are relatively expensive and are not ready for domestic production for the time being. Saab's target consumer group is also a high-end customer in Europe and the United States, but we We are still planning to take it back and drive the high-end automobile industry chain..."

"Drive the high-end automobile industry chain? Is Saab planning to produce spare parts in China?" Geng Jie asked with a strange look on his face and his eyes eagerly.

Yang Mo shook his head and smiled: "There will be a day, but it is definitely not possible now. Most spare parts still need to be produced in Sweden, but you can rest assured that Zhiyuan Group's machinery companies in the mainland will free up part of their production capacity to help Saab Automobile Accelerate the completion of the localization process!”

"Mr. Yang, based on what I know about you, you should already have a specific plan in mind, right?" He Jianye asked.

Yang Mo nodded cheerfully and said: "Director He, you are not an outsider. We will not engage in commercial negotiations. Saab Automobile Company's initial idea is to establish a joint venture with FAW to produce both Saab and Hongqi brands. For automobiles, it is best to be controlled by Zhiyuan. I wonder if there are any specific restrictions in terms of policy?"

He Jianye pondered for a while and then said: "I'm afraid holding a controlling stake is not possible. As Volkswagen, Jeep, and Peugeot have entered the Chinese market, the higher authorities may soon introduce policies in this regard. The upper limit of the equity of foreign-funded enterprises shall not exceed 50%!"

Yang Mo nodded and said: "Okay, then for each 50% stake, Saab will provide the engine and vehicle technology, and the specific commercial value assessment, Zhiyuan will have a professional audit and legal team to follow up..."

At this moment, the phone on He Jianye's desk suddenly rang. He Jianye picked up the phone and listened for a few words, then handed the phone to Geng Jie...

After Geng Jie answered the phone, he looked at Yang Mo with a strange expression. The attentive He Jianye also noticed this detail.

After the big cooperation intention was agreed upon, Yang Mo, who was tired from the journey, also got up and left.

"Old Geng, what are you doing? Did something happen in the factory?" He Jianye asked with a frown after sending Yang Mo away.

Geng Jie smiled bitterly and said: "Lao Zhou just called me and said that Audi Vice President Ferdinand Piëch is going to FAW for inspection in the next two days. He asked me not to make a decision in a hurry..."

"Are you planning to marry one girl to another? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Looking across the country, we can't find a foreign-funded enterprise that cooperates better than Zhiyuan Group..." He Jianye showed a hint of displeasure.

Geng Jie defended with some embarrassment: "Old Zhou also has good intentions, it's just one more choice! It's not a bad thing..."

"Tomorrow Zhiyuan Group's audit and legal teams will leave for FAW. You still have to pay attention to methods and consider the overall situation so as not to cause any bad effects..." He Jianye said with a frown.

"That won't happen! We still prefer to cooperate with Zhiyuan, just look at the cooperation conditions with Audi. Besides, we can't turn them away when they come all the way to discuss cooperation, right?" Geng Jie assured.

After seeing Geng Jie off, He Jianye pondered for a long time. Seeing that it was time to get off work, he directly asked for a car and went to Yang Mo to explain himself.

The expert buildings of the Zhiyuan Metallurgical Research Center have all been completed, and they are all townhouses. Xia Xinyi was also assigned one because of her outstanding work ability. Under Fatty Luo's deliberate arrangement, she and Yang Mo "happened" to become neighbors.

According to the address left by Yang Mo, He Jianye rang the doorbell directly after getting off the car.

Yang Mo thought that Xia Xinyi had prepared the food and delivered it, so he didn't take it seriously. With a tired look on his face, he and Lin Yan went downstairs and opened the door in their pajamas...

After opening the door, when he saw He Jianye, Lin Yan's guts almost turned green with regret, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

He Jianye also regretted not making a call in advance and taking the liberty to visit him. However, Yang Mo immediately regained his composure after a brief moment of astonishment and introduced to He Jianye: "Director He, this is my fiancée Lin Yan, a law student at Huaqing University. Department professor!”

"Are you Lin Yan? I heard Mr. Yang often mention you and praise you like a fairy. When we meet today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation!" He Jianye cleverly resolved the embarrassment with a joke and indirectly told Lin Yan that he The person who knew Yang Mo's true identity suddenly relieved Lin Yan's nervousness and fear...

After Yang Mo quickly changed his clothes and returned to the living room, he said to Lin Yan: "Director He and I have something to discuss. You go and help Xia Xinyi cook together, cook two more dishes, and have a drink with Director He in the evening... …”

He Jianye also said politely: "Professor Lin, I have caused you trouble..."

Lin Yan said a few polite words, changed his clothes and went out.

"Director He? Did something happen to the cooperation with FAW?" Yang Mo asked bluntly.

He Jianye nodded and smiled bitterly: "There was a call from FAW. The vice president of Audi, whose name is Piëch, is coming to FAW for inspection in the next two days..."

"Ferdinand Piech? Did he come to FAW to inspect in person?" Yang Mo asked in surprise.

History has stubbornly turned into their original track. The most successful joint venture in the Chinese automobile market is none other than FAW Audi. Looking at the global automobile industry, Ferdinand Piech is undoubtedly the most legendary figure.

Audi, which had been in decline for many times, was reduced to a foundry for others at the worst time. It was under the leadership of Ferdinand Piech that it was reborn. The successful cooperation between FAW and Audi is a milestone of strategic significance in the history of Audi's development!

At that time, Chrysler took American arrogance to the extreme. FAW had even drawn up the drawings of a modified version of the Red Flag sedan based on the Dodge 600. Chrysler, lacking strategic vision, personally gave China's high-end official car market to Audi...

It was precisely when Ferdinand Piech heard that the president of Chrysler actually refused to meet the senior Chinese government officials who came specifically to visit that he saw an excellent opportunity to enter the mainland market...
