#548 - Establishment of branch company
In fact, the longer the research and development time for the 'Beast' model, the more beneficial it is for Audi, and the more advantages it gains!
You should know that the Hongqi Grand Ceremony C9 project took almost two years from its inception to last year, costing a full 10 billion yuan!
However, the Grand Ceremony C9 spent so much money and so much time, yet it didn't even produce a prototype!
But as for the attention the Hongqi Grand Ceremony C9 received, Lu Haifeng doesn't need to say more, right!
Lu Haifeng can absolutely guarantee that Audi can produce a prototype within a year!
If that's the case, the higher-ups won't say anything, but will pay more attention and care!
The more attention the higher-ups pay, the greater Audi's reputation in their circles, and the wider its name spreads!
The more honors and praises Audi receives, the higher its brand value will be pushed!
If you produce the car in just one month, this matter probably won't even spread!
Many people don't even know that the military vehicle project has fallen into Audi's hands, and you've already finished it!
Audi would lose a lot of attention!
But Lu Haifeng didn't do that; instead, he delivered the prototype in an extremely short period!
Therefore, when Lu Haifeng asks for money, he can ask with confidence!
However, Chief of Staff Liu is just a chief of staff; he can't make decisions about the actual allocation of funds!
After all, no one expected Audi to develop the model so quickly!
The subsequent funding from above probably hasn't even been put on the agenda yet?
This is a bit awkward!
Of course, Chief of Staff Liu can't say this explicitly, so he can only vaguely say:
"Don't worry about that!"
"Once the funding comes down, I'll transfer it to you; we won't owe you money!"
Lu Haifeng looked at Chief of Staff Liu's expression and naturally guessed something!
He couldn't help but darken his old face: "So, the speed at which I made this is too fast, and you can't keep up, is that it!"
It's not that Lu Haifeng is worried about not getting the money; he doesn't lack that little bit of money!
With Audi's strength, it can earn it back in a few days!
But as a private business owner, how can you survive in the business world if you don't know how to plead poverty!
The reason Lu Haifeng brought up this matter just now was entirely because Chief of Staff Liu's sudden attention and salute caught him off guard, so he just said it casually!
Now that the matter of money has been mentioned, then Lu Haifeng has to continue the act!
So, Lu Haifeng's face was filled with sincerity, hesitation, and helplessness!
"Ahem..."
"Chief of Staff Liu, you also know that the research and development of a new car requires too much investment!"
"We are a small car company; don't you understand our difficulties?"
Chief of Staff Liu saw Lu Haifeng's expression, and as an old fox himself, how could he not see through Lu Haifeng's godly acting!
Chief of Staff Liu could only smile wryly and comfort him: "Don't worry, I'll report to the higher-ups when I get back!"
"We won't owe you this little bit of money!"
"Thank you again for your efforts; I'm leaving!"
After Chief of Staff Liu handed the information in his hand to Lu Haifeng, he left the test site with his people!
They are very busy people; Audi has already produced the 'Beast' model!
The weapon attachments and equipment aspects have only just begun, and they have to urge them on!
Lu Haifeng watched Chief of Staff Liu and others leave, and he also took his people back to Audi!
Then, he gathered the company's senior management and the R\u0026D department to hold a joint meeting!
In the conference room, watching Lu Haifeng use a drawing pen on the tablet to quickly draw something on his seat, none of them spoke!
Based on their understanding of Lu Haifeng, they could almost certainly confirm that Lu Haifeng was brewing something big!
Half an hour later, Lu Haifeng stopped the pen in his hand!
But he didn't immediately announce what he had drawn!
Instead, he first handed the information that Chief of Staff Liu gave him to Xu Zhilin, Tang San, and others!
"Old Xu, Old Tang, take a look; these are the modification requirements that Chief of Staff Liu gave us!"
"You will be responsible for the adjustment of the production line and the modification of the 'Beast' military vehicle in the next few days!"
Hearing Lu Haifeng's words, Xu Zhilin and Tang San took the information Lu Haifeng handed over and looked at it!
The information had many modification requirements for the 'Beast' model!
Including command and control vehicles, armed reconnaissance vehicles, weapon protection vehicles, field ambulance vehicles, personnel transport vehicles, and other special vehicles adapted to various combat requirements!
Tang San looked at the information Lu Haifeng handed over, stood up, and said: "President Lu, are these modifications based on the 'Beast' military vehicle?"
"Yes!"
"Then this is equivalent to positioning the 'Beast' model to meet the military's all-around vehicle needs!"
"It's unbelievable that the military would give such a huge order to a private company!"
Xu Zhilin also suggested with a face full of joy: "President Lu, the military vehicle project is too important to our Audi; we can't make any mistakes!"
"So, President Lu, I suggest establishing a specialized military industrial manufacturing enterprise!"
As soon as Xu Zhilin's suggestion came out, the faces of the senior executives present were immediately filled with anticipation!
This means another subsidiary is about to be established! And a military industrial manufacturing company that is rich in oil!
This also means that whether it is the senior executives present or the middle and low-level managers below!
Will be facing a major opportunity to stand alone!
The promotion of position also means that the treatment will be further improved!
Although the employee benefits of Audi are much higher than those of its peers!
But as a working person, who doesn't want to earn more money in the same industry!
In fact, the reason why Lu Haifeng summoned all the senior executives to the scene today is precisely because he has such an idea!
But he still respects Xu Zhilin's speech, so he said with a smile: "Old Xu's suggestion is very good!"
"I plan to separate Audi's Phase 5 factory and establish it as a military industrial manufacturing company!"
When the senior executives at the scene heard Lu Haifeng's words, the joy on their faces became even stronger, and they immediately discussed in low voices!
Separating Audi's Phase 5 factory means that some people have gotten better promotion opportunities!
So, the senior executives present were all eager to try, and their previous efforts would be rewarded, how could they not be overjoyed!
They are very grateful to be able to work at Audi, and they are also very grateful for the efforts they have made to do their job well!
Better treatment must be accompanied by corresponding hard work; it is impossible to want something for nothing at Audi!
Lu Haifeng raised his hand and pressed it down, saying: "Now, I formally announce!"
"Pan Qiang, the former vice president of Audi, is transferred to Audi Military Industrial Manufacturing Branch!"
"The Audi Military Industrial Manufacturing Branch is fully responsible by Pan Qiang and only needs to give me a personnel transfer report!"
After Lu Haifeng finished announcing, there was immediately a burst of warm applause in the conference room!
No one opposed or disapproved of Pan Qiang serving as the head of the Audi Military Industrial Manufacturing Branch!
First of all, he is an old employee of Audi, and secondly, his coordination ability and management ability are beyond doubt!
Pan Qiang is also not pretentious: "Thank you for President Lu's importance; I will not let everyone down!"
Lu Haifeng nodded when he heard his words and said: "The Audi Military Industrial Manufacturing Branch needs to quickly organize management personnel!"
