"Stop talking nonsense and lead your people to start research and development quickly. Remember, I want speed for this research and development!"
Seeing Li Fanyu's eyes shining with Brother Kong Fang, Liu Qing couldn't help curling her lips.
Cut!
That’s what I said!
It's like you haven't pushed for any previous car model projects. Which of Zhengxin's R&D projects didn't you ask for speed? You bastard!
But the situation is stronger than the people. I dare not disobey the instructions given by the boss...
Liu Qing had no choice but to give up the idea of returning to China sadly, and gathered a team to start research and development of the "Freedom Fighter".
． ． ． ． ． ．
Li Fanyu originally wanted to wait until the freedom fighters made a test run before contacting DME to discuss business in the hidden market. But I didn't expect this targeted plan, but it caused trouble for myself.
After Chris learned that the agency sales rights of F150 were tightly held by the OEM, he refused to let go. Coupled with Daewoo's fierce public relations, they want DME to promote the Daewoo H series MPV in order to gain lost market share.
These two things were intertwined, and Chris' attitude towards Hong Guang and Li Fanyu became cold.
Originally, two weeks after the launch of a new car, it is the time when the market has initially established a reputation for the model. During this period, if publicity and sales policies keep up, sales will rise by leaps and bounds.
However, due to the adjustment of DME's strategy, Hongguang's kick was not kicked out!
After the second week on the market, although Hongguang's sales are still rising, compared with the normal state, it really cannot satisfy Li Fanyu. You know, if everything was normal, sales during this period should have tripled to quadruple from the first week of launch!
So when he saw the sales report, Li Fanyu was so angry that he couldn't control his temper.
In a hurry, he drove to Cairo and slammed the sales report in front of Chris.
"Chris, I need an explanation."
"Oh, Mr. Li, what do you want me to explain to you?"
"I read the report you sent me. Now is the golden period for Hongguang's sales growth. Why should we stop the publicity and promotion policy for this model?"
"Oh, so that's what you're talking about. Mr. Li, please think about it from our perspective. You also know that your Volkswagen only has one model on sale, the Hongguang. After the company's research, We feel that your company's product line is too single. If we focus all our sales on you, we will not be able to achieve good joint profits. This will undoubtedly be a waste of our resources. After re-evaluation, I feel that Daewoo's products are too single. The product line is relatively rich, and their small sedans, MPVs, and pickup trucks are relatively suitable for the African market, so... I’m sorry.”
Chris said it sincerely, but Li Fanyu couldn't hear the subtext in this guy's words; this was obviously because he didn't get the agency sales right for F150!
Li Fanyu forced himself to hold back the curse words that came to his lips, and sneered: "Chris, what a pity. I am working on developing a medium-sized pickup truck with performance that is not inferior to that of the F150. I originally thought that during this period of time, I would be able to compete with the F150." Your DME has done a good job, and I’m going to hand over this model to you. Now it seems that your company has given up on me... You are very good."
When he heard that he was going to design and develop a medium-sized pickup truck specifically for the African market, Chris couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Li, although I admire your sensitive sense of the market. But I have to remind you; the market situation is changing rapidly. , we will not give up the opportunity to make money for you. So Mr. Li, my suggestion is still the same as before. Maybe you should negotiate with the OEM to get the rights to sell F150 in Africa."
As expected, you are really evil-minded,
If I could get the sales rights of the F150 back, I would still talk nonsense to you!
Li Fanyu looked at the guy who was obviously full of tricks, but still acted sincere on the outside. I wanted to push him to the ground and use the pen he was playing with to violently explode his anus.
But inserting chrysanthemums obviously does not solve the problem.
And without knowing the sexual orientation of a guy who looked 70-80% similar to Cook's old glass, Li Fanyu really didn't dare to **** him.
What if you make him happy and then you have to rely on yourself?
So he took a long breath and said, "Chris, we have an old saying in China that mountains cannot turn and rivers turn. It means that things are relative and there is no permanent certainty. What you are doing now makes me very unhappy. . Okay, I won’t say any more nonsense. Goodbye my friend, I hope you don’t beg me that day.”
"Mr. Li, walk slowly." Chris shrugged his shoulders, stood up and opened the office door for him. There was still a harmless smile on his face.
Back at the company, Li Fanyu rolled up his arms and sleeves and joined the research and development of the freedom fighters.
The best way to retaliate against DME's ruthlessness is to make the Freedom Fighters as soon as possible!
With a sigh of relief, Li Fanyu directly took over the position of Captain Liu Qing. He took over a quarter of the research and development work that had already been carried out, and led the research and development team to start working on it day after day.
Because the Hilux, the original model of the Freedom Fighters, was originally a pickup truck with a super simple structure. Coupled with Li Fanyu's drastic and simple castration, the research and development process is simply rapid. It only took more than a week to complete the matching of the freedom fighter's body, axle and engine.
Over there, the company is conducting a tender for the local spare parts parts in Egypt, and here we are already starting to manufacture prototype vehicles for testing.
As mentioned before, Egypt’s car inspection policy is quite relaxed.
As for the vehicle testing and calibration process, Li Fanyu felt that it was almost the same as having it or not. But in fact, it has to be said that the technologies used in each assembly and accessories used by the Freedom Fighters are too old. And except for the body and chassis, the other parts are basically pieced together. For example, in order to save trouble and facilitate manufacturing, the engine is directly used as a low-power diesel version of the F150, the gearbox is directly used as an outdated 5-speed manual MT gearbox, and the suspension system is also a coil spring cross front suspension that can be seen everywhere on the market. The rear steel plate side is the simplest and crudest steel plate non-independent suspension.
These components are already very mature in technology on the market. Therefore, the test review process did not receive the slightest obstacle.
Under this progress, Li Fanyu quickly produced three test cars.
Looking at the three hand-assembled freedom fighters in front of him, Li Fanyu finally wiped the oil on his face and ordered Xu Sen beside him: "Go and inform Chris from DME. Just say that I invited him to come and visit. Testing of Volkswagen’s new mid-size pickup truck.”
