Chapter 581: VW's strengths and weaknesses

  Chapter 581 The advantages and disadvantages of the public

  After Zhao Guoyang said something, the people on the Huaxia delegation looked at each other, not knowing how to describe the shock in their hearts.

  Sun Zhi and Li Ru looked at each other, a little at a loss.

  Du Yitao, Meng Liangyu and other members of the Department of Foreign Affairs also had their eyes wide open, not knowing what to say.

  Wu Jianlong, who was sitting in the back seat, was also very frightened by Zhao Guoyang's shocking words, his face turned blue and red for a while.

  The only one who is still calm is Chairman Mao Zhichun.

  Because Mao Zhichun has been dealing with Zhao Guoyang for the longest time, he is also the most familiar with him.

  So after hearing Zhao Guoyang's approval of "Popular Group", although he was a little surprised, he didn't lose his footing.

  Different from other leaders, Mao Zhichun trusted Zhao Guoyang 100%.

  He believed that Zhao Guoyang's remarks must have his purpose in it.

  Different from the people on the Huaxia delegation, the people from "Skoda Automobile Company" all showed great interest after listening to Zhao Guoyang's words.

After a period of silence, Janine Kellerman, head of public relations and communication of "Skoda Automobile Company", spoke first: "Researcher Zhao, your conclusion surprised us a bit. Can you take the liberty to ask, how did you come to this conclusion?" this conclusion?"

  After hearing Mr. Kellerman's question, Skoda Larsson, the chairman of Skoda, Rosicky the CEO, and others all nodded in agreement.

  Everyone is very curious why the technical leader of the "Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation" would say such a thing as "growth others' aspirations and destroys one's own prestige".

   Could it be that he is really so honest that he doesn't even care about the interests of his own company?

   You must know that the participants of "Skoda Automobile Company" today are all senior managers of the company, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

  The expressions of the bigwigs on the Huaxia delegation cannot escape their eyes.

  In the eyes of the "Skoda" people, it is obvious that Zhao Guoyang's remarks were not discussed with the delegation in advance, but improvised.

   Then things seem to get interesting...

  Seeing that a group of people's attention was attracted by his own question, a smile appeared on Zhao Guoyang's face.

  In fact, the reason why he directly named the "Volkswagen Group" just now is to achieve this effect.

  Under the eyes of everyone, Zhao Guoyang nodded politely to Jianning Kellerman and said: "Mr. Kellerman, it is actually not difficult to come to this conclusion."

   "As we all know, the 'Volkswagen Group' headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, is the largest automobile company in Europe and one of the most powerful multinational companies in the world's automobile industry."

"This company has fifty-nine wholly-owned and joint-stock companies around the world. Its business areas include automobile research and development, production, sales, logistics, services, auto parts, car leasing, financial services, auto insurance, Banking, IT services, etc.”

   "It is no exaggeration to say that the 'Volkswagen Group' is a benchmark in the automotive industry for the past 20 to 30 years!"

  When Zhao Guoyang said this, the bosses of "Skoda" exchanged glances with each other, and they all agreed with his series of descriptions.

   Indeed, in the past 30 years, the development speed of the "Volkswagen Group" is really too fast, so fast that even the "General Motors Group", which ranks first in the industry, has to bow down.

   It is important to know that thirty years ago, the annual output of the "Volkswagen Group" was only a fraction of that of the "General Motors Group", but now thirty years later, its output is comparable to that of the "General Motors Group".

  If you count the major brands it has acquired, its sales volume has even surpassed that of the "GM Group".

  The success of this automobile company in just 30 years has been talked about all the time.

  Zhao Guoyang cleared his throat, and continued to speak: "I don't think I need to say much about the development history of the 'Volkswagen Group'. Everyone here is also very clear."

"What I want to say is that the success of this brand is not accidental. The 'Volkswagen Group' has always been adhering to an important concept, which is to provide customers with the most cutting-edge technological achievements, original design and almost all car segments. Best quality product…”

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment, and then continued to speak: "However, unlike the 'Daimler AG' and 'BMW AG' which belong to Germany, the success of the 'Volkswagen Group' brand does not come from luxury. , comfort and these aspects started.”

   "In fact, it is its small and medium-sized sedans that really make the 'Volkswagen Group' famous all over the world..."

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's eloquent talk, Skoda Larsson let out a long sigh and said, "Researcher Zhao is right. The success of the Volkswagen brand started with the Beetle, which has become a car legend. Then, there are new cars emerging from it. car model..."

   "In terms of developing new models, the 'Volkswagen Group' is indeed ahead of all automakers!"

  Zhao Guoyang gave a "huh" and nodded in agreement: "Chairman Larson is right. The best-selling sedan products of the Volkswagen brand are mid-sized and small cars such as the Golf, Passat, Lubo, and Polo."

   "And what shocked the world even more is the speed at which its new models are advancing."

"As of this year, the 'Volkswagen Group' has launched several Beetle models; three generations of Golf models. This is faster than any model in the world. The success of these models is undoubtedly the 'Volkswagen Group' 'Maximum capital."

   "More than 20 million Beetles, more than 6 million Golfs, and Passat and Polo with sales exceeding one million. These figures, just for us onlookers, feel extremely shocking and unbelievable..."

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang's undisguised admiration and praise for the "Popular Group", people on the Huaxia delegation cast strange glances at Mao Zhichun.

  The reason is simple. The "Songqi Group" where Mao Zhichun works is the most successful domestic car company in the joint venture of the "Volkswagen Group".

  He himself is also the closest to Zhao Guoyang, the "Chief Consultant".

  Because of this, everyone was a little curious, did Chairman Mao say something to Zhao Guoyang in advance, which made him suddenly catch everyone by surprise today?

  Mao Zhichun didn't notice everyone's gaze at the moment, he was listening to Zhao Guoyang's story with great interest.

  Although his "Songqi Group" and "Volkswagen Group" had started cooperation six or seven years ago, Mao Zhichun's understanding of "Volkswagen Group" is far less clear than that of Zhao Guoyang.

  At this time, listening to the performance of this year-end friend, Mao Zhichun sighed in his heart, thinking that he would have brought Guoyang brother under his command earlier.

   While everyone was holding their breath, Zhao Guoyang's narration continued.

  He breathed out lightly and said: "Having said so much, I actually have only one meaning to express. That is how 'Skoda' sells its shares to 'Volkswagen Group', the future is definitely brighter."

   "With the scientific research level support of 'Volkswagen Group', 'Skoda' will not have any problems in designing new models or innovating existing models in the future..."

Hearing this, Skoda Larsson couldn't help but asked: "Researcher Zhao, since we have so many benefits from transferring the shares to the 'Volkswagen Group', why did you go to the meeting with Commander Du and Ambassador Meng today?" What about this time?"

  Zhao Guoyang was waiting for someone to ask this question. After hearing this, his face became relaxed.

   "Mr. Larson's question is good!"

  Zhao Guoyang said with a relaxed expression, "I just said so many good things about the 'Volkswagen Group', and I'm just telling the truth."

   "This does not mean that we, Huaxia Automobile Group, will shrink back in the face of its competition, and it does not mean that our sincerity is insufficient!"

"In fact, although the 'Volkswagen Group' has many advantages, some defects in cooperation with it are also fatal. In addition, although I didn't mention it at all just now, our 'Huaxia Automobile Group' also has Some advantages that the 'Volkswagen Group' can't match..."

  Hearing this, Skoda Larson's eyes narrowed.

He stared at Zhao Guoyang with great interest for a while, and then said: "Researcher Zhao, I really want to listen to your explanation on the advantages and disadvantages of your company and the 'Popular Group' in detail. "

Zhao Guoyang had already prepared for this, he nodded, and said as usual: "Mr. Larson, don't worry, our delegation is here today with sincerity, just to have an open and honest talk with you and everyone from the 'Skoda Automobile Company'. Let's talk."

   "I will give a detailed description of the advantages of our 'Huaxia Automobile Group' and the comparison with the 'Volkswagen Group'."

  Zhao Guoyang’s words mentioned this point, Skoda Larsson and other people in “Skoda” have been completely convinced by this young man’s fearless spirit.

  Whether it is Skoda Larsson or Janine Kellerman, they have never seen such a young technician who can be so calm in front of so many bosses.

   No matter what flowers he can say next, at least his composure and composure are already impressive.

   Skoda Larsson was even thinking secretly, would his company have a chance to poach this young "researcher" with a high salary?

  Of course, Zhao Guoyang didn't know that the big guy on the other side had already moved his mind. He sorted out his emotions and opened his voice slowly.

   "Just now I have made the advantages of the 'Volkswagen Group' very clear. Next, I will mention a little bit where this auto giant may not be in place..."

   "The first problem that bears the brunt, as I have said before, is that the 'Volkswagen Group' has now brought together many brands and branches."

   "Such a large number of brands and branch factories undoubtedly involve too much energy from the 'Volkswagen Group'."

  Zhao Guoyang said with piercing eyes: "Even if the 'Volkswagen Group' came to acquire your company out of sincerity, it is really hard to say how much manpower and material resources they can invest in you after the acquisition is successful."
