Chapter 342: Mass Cutting

"Hahahaha, Xiao Fang, you say that lightly, just take advantage of the east wind and ride a ride.

But in the eyes of Shanghai Automobile, if you just move your finger, Shanghai Automobile will close down.

No one can afford this consequence.

To be honest, when we first started the joint venture, many people, including me, disagreed.

But some people have their eyes on this plate of meat, so we have to do it.

But up to now, the closure of Shanghai Auto is not a big deal, it is just one less company.

We also have FAW, Second FAW, BAIC and GAC.

But there are thousands of employees in Shanghai Auto, as well as tens of thousands of elderly and children, who are hungry for food and cannot be ignored.

The department has been troubled for several months, so we have come up with a few ideas and would like to hear your opinion, Xiao Fang."

Soon, Mr. Yang's voice came from the microphone slowly.

To be fair, what Mr. Yang said was still very fair, and since Mr. Yang took office, he has helped Fang Xiang a lot.

Now, as a peacemaker, it is most appropriate for Mr. Yang to come forward.

Besides, Mr. Yang has said so much, it would be inappropriate for Fang to continue to fool him or refuse.

After all, he still had to save Mr. Yang's face. If the conditions were really not good, and Fang wanted to refuse again, it would be because of Shanghai Auto.

Instead of talking to Mr. Yang.

"Okay, Mr. Yang, you talk, I'm listening."

After figuring out the key point, Fang took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

I plan to hear what Mr. Yang has to say.

"First of all, it's about the price, whether it's the 160,000 yuan that Mr. Zhang from the factory said, or the 70,000 yuan that Volkswagen proposed.

The department considered it again and again and felt that none of them were appropriate. After all, everyone knew the price of Second Automobile BMW.

However, the country is short of money now, and many companies and units have slush funds, saving a lot of money but not spending it.

Xiao Fang, you should know this. Setting a higher price also means enriching the national treasury.

Then, there is the international impact. If the pricing is too low, foreign capital cannot make money and will not come to invest domestically. This is like grasping at sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Xiao Fang, you need to give this matter more thought and don't make things difficult for your leaders.

There is also the issue of after-sales and fuel. I don't need to explain this, you know it better than me.

Therefore, the department is now discussing several requirements with Shanghai Automobile and Volkswagen.

One is the price of Santana, which does not exceed 40,000 yuan. The factory will keep 10,000 yuan as profit, which will be distributed between Shanghai Auto and Volkswagen.

We still have to do this, and the excess will be turned over to the national treasury.

Second, the money from Volkswagen will not be withdrawn within ten years but will be kept in the country.

Whether it is to continue investing, expand production, or provide benefits to employees, in short, you must stay in the country and not leave the country.

As for the money to be paid into the national treasury, this part has also been communicated, and part will continue to be invested in economic development.

Part of it is given to related oil companies. These investments allow them to expand their production scale and increase the supply of gasoline in society.

Gas stations are being built in large numbers across the country.

As for the remaining small part, oil depots are built in various places. Xiao Fang, you also know that our country is short of oil.

The world has just experienced an oil crisis and now the oil price is not low. If we suddenly open up this loophole, oil imports will become a very important strategic issue in the future.

Finally, there is the issue of BMW. I learned earlier that GAC plans to outsource its business to BMW.

I think the production will also go up a level.

I have also inquired about this. Compared with Santana, many units prefer to purchase our BMW as an administrative car.

As for the price, it will be higher than Santana in the future, which can be regarded as helping Second Automobile Works to solve the production and profit problems.

If you calculate it this way, it means that even if all parties take a step back, they can still get a piece of the pie.

What do you think, Xiao Fang?

As Mr. Yang explained bit by bit, Fang Xiang also understood how this big game was going to be played.

It seems that what Mr. Yang said is indeed correct. If all parties make concessions, they can all get something to eat.

After all, you can't smash the dishes and make everyone angry, and then you still can't eat.

More importantly, not only did Volkswagen give up most of its profits, but they also kept them in the country, which made Fang Xiang feel very comfortable.

"It has to be you, Mr. Yang, who has considered everything and even thought of the details.

What opinion can I have? I have no opinion, hahahaha."

Fang Xiang's mind worked quickly and he went over the matter thoroughly.

It turns out that the people who suffered the most were the general public.

Not only did they lose a huge amount of profits, but they were also unable to withdraw funds for another ten years, which cut off their way of making money from the country.

As for the public's disagreement?

What Fang is waiting for is for the public to disagree, right?!

Western Europe has not had that much production capacity, so GAC is now giving full play to production.

Without saying too much, the sales volume is indeed over 100,000 cars a year.

If Volkswagen dares to make a move, it will simply abandon the North American market and enter Western Europe at a low price.

The dozen or so models of Second Automobile Works and GAC can almost completely make all Western European car companies suffer a fate worse than death in a short period of time.

"As long as you are satisfied, do you have any other ideas?"

When Mr. Yang saw Fang Xiang agreed, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

But I still have to say what needs to be said.

“Isn’t it time to loosen up the Second Automobile Works?

Beijing Auto can't just look at such a big plate and not get any meat, right?"

Since he was asked to make a request, Fang Xiang was not vague and said it directly.

Now, Second Automobile’s heavy trucks certainly cannot be parked, but that doesn’t mean Jeeps cannot be parked!

It has been in production for more than ten years and has actually been outdated for a long time. If we don’t relax now, when will we wait?

Speaking of this Jeep, it was the piece of meat that Fang wanted to dig out from BAIC's mouth.

After finishing the meat, it’s not too much to go back and order some soup.

Now the X3, X5, X7 and Tundra have all been designed and construction has started.

Not to mention the X series, Fang Xiang has also been paying close attention to the military version of the Tantu in recent months.

After tens of thousands of kilometers of road testing, it's time to show up to the military.

"Well, I think your suggestion is very good.

As for Second Automobile Works, the foreign exchange task is heavy and Jeep is also a burden, so it would be better to give it to BAIC.

In this way, Second Automobile Works can save some manpower and production lines and expand the production of BMW.

I think it's okay to earn more foreign exchange!"

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Yang understood what Fang Xiang meant. After thinking about it, he nodded without bargaining.

“Jeep has been around for so many years, it’s time for a new generation.

I designed a new off-road vehicle a while ago, specifically for the military.

It has been road tested for more than two months now and has traveled tens of thousands of kilometers.

I wonder if Mr. Yang is interested in taking a look?"

Both Jeep 212 and Jeep 213 are old things from more than ten years ago.

If the country wasn't so poor, Fang would have wanted to upgrade a long time ago.

This is a good opportunity right now. If Jeep still wants to continue production, it can just let BAIC produce it.

If he plans to change to a Tundra, Fang Xiang doesn't mind giving this piece of meat to BAIC.

After all, when Second Automobile Works produced Jeep 213, BAIC didn't say a word.

Fang Xiang still has to acknowledge this friendship.

Anyway, GAC has so many models, so it is not a problem to give half of the Tundra production to BAIC.

Especially the military-use Tundra, Fang Xiang would be happy even if it were all handed over to BAIC.

"Oh? New off-road? For the military?

I didn’t expect that you had prepared a surprise, Xiao Fang!

In this way, you can just ship the car here, and I will help you contact the general logistics and assembly department and help you sell it!"

When Mr. Yang heard this, he thought this was a credit that came right to his doorstep, so he agreed immediately.

"No problem. If the military takes a liking to it, I think this production line can be placed in BAIC."

Seeing that Mr. Yang agreed so readily, Fang Xiang decided to simply propose to hand over the military version of the Tundra to BAIC.

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being Xiao Fang.

How about it, are you interested in taking a deputy position in the ministry?"

When Mr. Yang heard that Fang wanted to hand over all the production lines to BAIC, he laughed so hard that his eyes could not open.
