Chapter 777 Beiqi Cherokee

Lin Johnson left successfully, but successfully poured a group of cadres from the Shilian Shipyard. These people were very capable of drinking, and they were domineering in style. They liked to persuade them to drink endlessly, but no matter how hard they could drink, they could not resist the temptation of 10,000 yuan, so they fell down.

For the sake of the collective and for honor, no one wants to admit defeat in drinking. Now they completely stopped, but in the end they won nearly 4 million yuan in funding for the Shilian Shipyard, which is a good story!

Yu Shichun took Lin Qiangsheng to the airport with a bitter yellow face. Even after a long time, his body was still a little shaking and he looked like he couldn't bear it.

"Old Yu, I'm leaving. If you don't have good health, just have a good rest. Your face is salmony and salmony. Take care of it!" Lin Qiangsheng said jokingly. Compared to others, he was very energetic, and he was particularly refreshing when talking about jokes.

Yu Shichun begged for mercy and said, "I have been hurt by you. I drink this wine too hard and it hurts my body!"

Lin Johnson laughed and said, "Okay, then you can go back quickly, have a good night's sleep, and then hurry up and get the project done!"

Yu Shichun smiled and said, "Then I'll send you here. Johnson and Johnson, welcome you to come again. Next time we have a good meal, but we won't drink anymore. I'm really afraid that you will be like this!"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "The relationship is good, I didn't know how to speak!"

Yu Shichun nodded. He took a bag from the driver's hand, which contained a big gift box, and said sincerely: "This is a specialty of Wulian. Dried bacon sea cucumbers. If you can't take anything else, this is OK. Don't mind!"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled slightly, took it without hesitation, and said, "I don't say anything polite, thank you!"

Yu Shichun said with peace of mind: "I was ready, but I'm afraid you won't accept it. This time our shipyard will thank you more!"

The two said goodbye, agreed to contact each other frequently in the future and informed the progress of the project on time. After that, Lin Johnson and Ibeca returned to Beijing on a civil aviation plane.

The next day, early in the morning of September 26, St. Peel, assistant general manager of the American Automobile Company in BAIC, went to the Great Wall Hotel to invite Lin Johnson to attend the event.

"Hello, Mr. Lin! Chairman Pierrena personally told me that you know more about China. Let our working group stationed in BAIC listen to your opinions more!" Saint-Pierre said very humbly.

Lin Johnson stood at the door wearing pajamas. He asked in confusion: "St. Peel, you are also French from the accent?"

St. Peel was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, but I have been in am for five years, sir!"

Lin Johnson nodded. Samorina himself is French, so he likes to appoint French people, but he can't say anything about this matter. Just manage the am well.

He nodded and said, "You wait a while, I'll change my clothes!"

"Okay, sir!" St. Pier breathed a sigh of relief. This young Chinese is the big boss of Am, and he is just a small manager sent to China. The identities of the two sides are very different. He dare not make rash moves in front of this young man and lose points for himself.

Ibeca stood up and asked in a daze: "What are the arrangements today?"

Lin Johnson said: "BAIC Cherokee put into production the first batch of cars. There is a celebration, so don't go!"

Ibeca shook her head and said, "Oh!" She lay down again, waited for a while, then stood up and ran into the bathroom.

The two left the hotel and got into the car. St. Pier sat in the passenger seat. Lin Johnson asked: "How much Cherokee can BAIC start production in a year now?"

St. Pier said respectfully: "Sir, it's not that BAIC can put into production how many vehicles, but that BAIC has negotiated a manufacturing plan in advance, and combined with China's actual capabilities, it determines how much it can be produced in the first year and formulates a short-term plan."

He then explained: "According to the contract, the first batch of Cherokee KD parts exported to China were 720, but now China has advanced the assembly time. Our personnel's opinion is that BAIC's cars are completely political tasks and cannot meet the production standards at all. It is said that they celebrated China's National Day gift in 'October Monday', and BAIC worked overtime to assemble several cars. However, offering gifts does not mean putting production. According to our evaluation, BAIC Cherokee is still a big gap from putting production!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said, "I understand this. Now the car has been assembled, what else is there?"

St. Pier hesitated: "There are many questions, which one do you want to talk about specifically?"

Seeing that Lin Johnson was quite confused, he didn't seem to be very clear about the cooperation project between am and BAIC, so St. Pier continued: "According to the customs of Europe and the United States, the so-called production line is continuous operation. We believe that the number of joint ventures in the early stage can be lower. If you have a car per minute in the United States, you can have an hour per hour in BAIC, and the production line will be seven cars a day. Because BAIC Cherokee is in its infancy, there must be a time for introduction and absorption, and the production capacity has a long growth process. However, there is one thing that must be achieved here, and the output can only rise, not fall. Now China gives us the feeling that they have no plans for the next production and do whatever they want. They think that the second batch can import less assembly parts, so they notified us, completely ignoring our opinions and plans. Now we are not sure whether we can still perform the contract!"

"What's going on?" Lin Johnson asked in surprise.

St. Pierreau: "The first batch of loose parts of Cherokee put into production is 720 cars. According to the 7 cars per day, it can be almost 100 days. The second batch of cars must be kept up immediately. According to the contract we signed with China, the second batch has 1,008 loose parts, which is calculated based on the container configuration and quantity."

"According to the plan, the second batch of loose parts will be loaded on October 12 and will arrive in China in one or two months. This will happen to be able to be produced. Then the third batch and the fourth batch will arrive one after another, and the production line cannot be stopped!"

Then, St. Pierre had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "But there is a problem here that may seriously damage our contract with BAIC, that is, BAIC has not yet obtained an import license, and also a letter of credit issued by Bank of China. They have no import license and no money!

In this way, 1,008 scattered parts can only be piled up in US ports, which not only makes the am violate the freight agreement, but also a large expense for renting port facilities. However, BAIC has not yet come up with a solution, and has obtained a damn import license and letter of credit!"

Lin Johnson nodded. He understood. It seemed that the problem was in China. He asked: "What does Samorina mean?"

St. Peel begged: "Mr. Chairman's meaning, he hopes to ask you to communicate with the Chinese upper class and let the Chinese government allow BAIC Cherokee's import license and bank letter of credit. The current situation has reached the point where the working group is unable to move forward!"

Lin Johnson hesitated. To be honest, he is really not easy to participate in the Cherokee project.

As we all know, although Cherokee entered the earliest in China, it can be said to be the first Sino-foreign automobile joint venture project. It was earlier than SAIC's Poussan project and started negotiations first, but Beiche is an increasingly unsatisfactory company. In the end, its position in the Chinese automobile industry was not awkward and gradually declined. Moreover, the Cherokee produced by BAIC was so many problems that even the People's Liberation Army dared not take it. If it weren't for the off-road vehicles (joint ventures) that entered China first, and had the status of leading the leader, Beiche might have been eliminated long ago.

Moreover, now the joint venture automobile companies under Dongxing Group produce Wrangler Jeep and Land Rover (don't ask why it's so domineering, or you can see the Japanese Mitsuoka Karo imitating Rolls-Royce). Both of these cars are very popular in the market.
