Reaching a preliminary intention to cooperate is only the first step. The most important thing is to go through specific and accurate calculations and give GM a final price. After GM conducts a comprehensive evaluation, if it feels that it can be done, then it will sign the real deal.
After signing the cooperation contract, Dongchen can hand over some models to General Motors for OEM production.
However, Zhang Wenhao also felt like a mirror in his mind. The only models he could authorize OEM for General Motors were the s1 and s2 of the sedan s series, the c1 and c2 of the off-road vehicle c series, and the p1, p2 and mpv of the p series of pickup trucks.
M1, M2 for purpose vehicles, and GM will never be authorized to produce engines.
The engine is Dongchen's largest core technology, and Dongchen's engine material is a new type of aluminum alloy. This material cannot be authorized to be produced overseas at will. Even if Dongchen authorizes General Motors to produce engines, the materials must also be used.
Export from China. In this case, it would be better to directly cut off the production of engines and produce all engines domestically. Alternatively, GM could fully lease the engine production line to Dongchen, who would be responsible for production.
As for the transmission system and gearbox, they must also be manufactured using Dongchen's own steel alloy. Therefore, like the engine, this link must either be purely exported, or Dongchen can take over their production line and produce it themselves.
The four-wheel drive system and suspension are not so secretive. Although Dongchen's four-wheel drive system is extremely powerful, its main core comes from the precise calculation and distribution of the central control computer. Dongchen is not afraid that outsiders can imitate this. And Dongchen is not afraid that outsiders can imitate it.
The interactive system is even simpler, just a set of motherboards and chips. The most important thing is the program compiled by the waiter and the unrivaled server command library.
Even so, Carter was still full of joy when he left China. Moreover, on the day after returning to China, GM took the lead in sending out the news. It announced that it had reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Dongchen. After the cooperation was finalized, Dongchen's
Most models will be produced locally in the United States.
Out of etiquette, Dongchen also issued an announcement with basically the same content to give Carter some comfort, so as not to make others think that he was shouting. When Dongchen also confirmed the news, another commotion started in the world's automobile industry.
The market is turbulent.
I would like to ask, who in the same industry is not afraid? Although General Motors has not been doing well in recent years, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. There is no doubt that this company has an annual production capacity of more than 10 million. If
If GM devotes 50% of its productivity to cooperate with Dongchen, Dongchen will suddenly increase its annual output to more than five million vehicles. This is unacceptable bad news for any automobile manufacturing company.
European automobile companies originally thought that Dongchen would focus on the U.S. market and would not have enough energy to cover the local market in a short time. However, after being interfered with by General Motors, things are not so clear-cut. Dongchen may even be in a few years.
Within a few months, it has the ability to deliver millions of vehicles to the EU market every year. Damn it! The EU market has not been doing well in the past few years, and there is another ferocious carnivore. Wouldn't this kill other companies?
But the EU is not North Korea. They must abide by the import and export regulations of the International Trade Organization. There is no reason to refuse trade between member companies and their own countries. If it is macro-micro control, they are worried that public opinion will be dissatisfied.
Europe is in an economic downturn. The more this situation occurs, the more people need more energy-saving and economical products to reduce daily expenses. For example, European taxi drivers have long been looking forward to the debut of s2, because
If taxis are replaced by S2, their daily cost will be reduced by about 40% in terms of fuel consumption alone. If we look at long-term maintenance, taxis, which are highly fatigued areas, can save a lot of money.
The people also think so, which is also the fundamental reason why the sales of energy-saving and environmentally friendly models have been rising in Europe in recent years. From this point of view, the EU cannot directly block Dongchen's entry. Otherwise, they will comply with the local automobile companies, but violate the
the wishes of the vast majority of local citizens.
Since then, Dongchen Automobile has been regarded as synonymous with top technology and perfect cost-effectiveness among the public. However, among its peers, it has been described as a heinous massacre, leaving desolation wherever it goes.
...
A few days later, Dongchen once again negotiated cooperation with GM, and Carter came to China again. This time, he was no longer as anxious as the last time. Now Carter is a highly praised figure in the United States.
The public admires him because he will be the first to realize the localization of Dongchen Automobile. By then, Dongchen Automobile will have a higher cost performance in the North American market; and the political circles appreciate him because he has eased Dongchen Automobile’s pressure on the market.
The direct impact on the North American market has transformed the entire General Motors into a buffer zone for this market; everyone at General Motors has great respect for Carter. His initiative to break through has made General Motors the leader of the entire automobile industry.
It is the only company among Dongchen that will not lay off employees and reduce productivity under the pressure of Dongchen. It is also Dongchen’s first overseas OEM in the global automobile industry.
In this negotiation, Dongchen directly gave the production quotation for each model, and asked to rent GM's two engine and gearbox production lines in China and North America. Carter had no objection to this. He knew that Dongchen would not be able to
The core components were produced by General Motors. Therefore, he readily agreed to Dongchen's request. Dongchen was not stingy in terms of rent. There were four production lines in total. During the period when Dongchen rented the production lines, all maintenance and upkeep costs were borne by Dongchen.
Chen is responsible for the annual rent of 380 million U.S. dollars, and the equipment depreciation cost is 150 million U.S. dollars. This thing is good if it can not be compensated by General Motors. Now it still has 530 million U.S. dollars.
Profit is already a perfect choice.
Coupled with Dongchen's OEM orders of at least 7.5 million vehicles per year, GM does not have to worry about any sales problems. The total profit margin of the 7.5 million vehicle orders can also reach approximately US$2 billion, and GM itself still has 30% of its productivity, at least
It can guarantee a profitability of more than 2 billion US dollars per year. For GM, this situation is perfect.
After the contract conditions were basically finalized, GM readily signed the contract with Dongchen, and Dongchen also applied to the U.S. government. This just catered to the wishes of the White House. The White House has been thinking about how to avoid offending the public in the past few days.
Under the premise, the problem of domestic employment rate can be stabilized, and the cooperation between Dongchen and GM is great news that makes people feel relaxed.
In Dongchen's application submitted to the White House, Dongchen unilaterally promised to sell in the North American market a total of eight models of four series: s, c, p, m, two levels 1 and 2, and three derived models.
More than ten segmented models with different configurations will all be produced and assembled in the United States. Dongchen only retains the export of high-end models, and the products with the above models exported to more than 20 countries in North America such as Canada and Mexico are all produced in the United States.
production to ensure employment in the United States.
In addition, Dongchen also promised that if it further cooperates with other automobile manufacturers in the United States in the next step, it will only choose local American companies and not the production lines of other countries' companies in the United States. In this way, it will directly
Many production lines of Japanese cars were directly excluded. This fact made Americans very satisfied. Dongchen came in and squeezed out other overseas brands in the American market, and then cooperated with domestic companies to ensure the operations and employment of domestic companies.
The problem is that in the process of Dongchen encroaching on the world, it is a relatively gentle method.
At the same time, Zhang Wenhao issued an announcement. Dongchen's luxury car series will be launched on the market soon. Dongchen's luxury cars will be divided into two levels. The first-level customized competitors are Lexus LS series, Mercedes-Benz S series, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8.
, Jaguar XJ and other products in the range of 1 million to 2.8 million, the second level will directly compete with the mass-produced models of Bentley, Maserati, Rolls-Royce and other brands. Dongchen claimed that this time the positioning of luxury cars will not compete with the so-called
The brand's heritage lies in its hardware configuration and technological content.
In addition, Dongchen has another piece of news that shocked the world. The original text is very simple: Due to strategic errors in the positioning of sc1, sc1 is seriously out of touch with the mass market. Therefore, Dongchen has begun the development of "cheap sports cars"
, the market positioning of cheap sports cars is in the 5-20 million range.
The word "Dongchen" for cheap sports cars brings shame to Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Maserati, Porsche and Pagani!
Because Dongchen currently only has one sports car, which is the world's top sports car SC1 with an ex-factory price of more than 50 million yuan. Dongchen's so-called cheap sports car concept is to launch a mass-market sports car with a price of 5 to 20 million yuan.
Bullying!
Those companies that relied on selling sports cars almost collapsed in an instant. The so-called top supercar products they were proud of before were synonymous with cheap sports cars in Dongchen's eyes, and the hidden meaning in Dongchen's words was also very important.
Simply, they said that building the SC1 was a strategic mistake, meaning that Dongchen regretted that it made the SC1 too unmatched. Now, Dongchen has lowered its value and built some "cheap sports cars" to adapt to the market.
What will sports car manufacturing companies like Ferrari do from now on? Apart from bankruptcy, I am afraid there is no other option.
In response, Luca Di, chairman of the Ferrari F1 team, publicly questioned Dongchen in the media, saying: "I have heard that Dongchen is preparing to enter F1 and other competitive car fields, but let me ask Dongchen, if you put
Brands such as Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault, Cosworth, and BMW have all collapsed. So who of these companies has the ability to continue to participate in the F1 competition? If other brands go bankrupt or lose money, Dongchen will be in trouble after entering F1 in the future.
You can only play with yourself!"
Yes, F1 is an extremely money-consuming game. The companies participating in it not only have strong R&D capabilities, but also have stronger economic strength. Over the years, a large number of teams have withdrawn from F1. The reason is mostly attributed to the fact that the companies do not have so many
Money will continue to be invested in F1. If these companies have no money, what else will they use to participate in F1?
Luca Di's words immediately set off a wave of popularity in the world's competitive automobile field. Many team presidents, drivers and companies came out to protest, believing that the emergence of Dongchen not only disrupted the order of the entire world's automobile economy, but also
It has disrupted the order of all competitive automobile sports. If this continues, one day the whole world may be driven by Dongchen automobiles. If that is the case, how can competitive automobiles develop?
In the face of doubts, Dongchen declared very domineeringly: If a company is unable to continue participating in competitive automobile projects due to the impact of Dongchen in the market, it can bring relevant documents to Dongchen to seek sponsorship, and Dongchen will provide appropriate support unconditionally.
, ensuring that the company participates in competitive motor sports.
This sentence has even triggered an explosion of car manufacturers participating in competitive motor sports around the world. Dongchen's meaning is very simple. If you can't afford it anymore, come to me and I will give you money to continue playing.
What the fuck...you are really a bully with no fear and no scruples!
However, Zhang Wenhao also knows in his heart that the world economy cannot allow the Dongchen family to completely or to a great extent monopolize the automobile economy. Over time, countries are under pressure, and I am afraid that the entire WTO will amend relevant regulations to impose certain restrictions on Dongchen.
Restrictions, but this does not matter to Dongchen. Zhang Wenhao's goal has been achieved. He established Dongchen Automobile and made Dongchen Automobile globally recognized as the best and most powerful automobile brand in the world. Dongchen,
This private automobile manufacturing company from China, which has relatively backward manufacturing capabilities, has climbed to the top of the world in one year. This achievement is unprecedented and will never be achieved again!
Zhang Wenhao's current idea is to first make the world's automotive industry bow to Dongchen. As Dongchen continues to expand, as Dongchen continues to approach the critical point of various governments, at that time, Dongchen will stop its expansion.
Seeking long-term and stable harmonious development, even in the end, after Dongchen has rectified the name of China's automobile manufacturing and has a deep-rooted impression of the top powerhouse in the minds of global consumers, Zhang Wenhao will lower his awareness of competition. By then, maybe
Some second-tier technologies will be brought out to improve the world's automobile manufacturing level while ensuring that Dongchen's position as king will not be shaken. This is also a good thing that will benefit the future.
What's more, petroleum energy is an era, and this era will inevitably pass in the future. Zhang Wenhao hopes that Dongchen can become the only contributor to completely promoting clean energy around the world. He can single-handedly promote the entire society in the world for a hundred years.
It can be said that there is almost no company that has made a transition in the times, and Dongchen will be the first.
The aviation field is also a big goal for Zhang Wenhao. He will first significantly reduce the cost of civil aviation transportation and further promote the development of civil aviation transportation. Then, he will take up the banner abandoned by Concorde in his twilight years.
Promote cheap and safe supersonic civil aviation services to the world.
Dongchen is destined to become an unprecedented industrial empire!
