While Liu Lang was sighing with emotion, the door opened and a group of people came out. The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties and forties who waved to Liu Lang.
"Haha, it's really you, Jimmy. How unexpected!"
A white man in his fifties shouted at Liu Lang.
This person is the current Schmidt of BMW. How does he know Liu Lang? Coincidentally, this person was the minister of the German Ministry of Industry five years ago. At that time, Jiang Botao led some national industrial enterprise general managers to visit Germany. Liu Lang
Lang also came with him, and Liu Lang also spoke as a representative at the welcome meeting. At that time, "The Boy Group" and "Destiny Girl" happened to have a concert in Germany, and Schmidt secretly asked Liu Lang for it.
After a few votes, the relationship between the two was considered good.
Later, there was a change of leadership in Germany. After Schmidt stepped down from politics, he became the CEO of BMW. He led BMW's acquisition of Rover Automobile Co., Ltd. Of course, this was considered a failure.
Liu Lang was different from a few years ago. He had grown a lot taller, but his appearance had not changed much. In addition, Schmidt was so impressed by him that he recognized him immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Schmidt, we are really destined, but it is really difficult to invite your company. There is a story about three visits to the thatched cottage in our country. This time we sent out the first invitation, but in the end it was me, a thin man, who got you.
It’s not easy to receive someone!”
Of course Liu Lang was going to complain.
"Haha, Jimmy, you don't blame us. We have never heard of your Shenghe Automobile Co., Ltd. Who knows what kind of company it is? But I also blame you. If you want to say that this is your Jimmy Liu's company, then I will immediately
Leading everyone to meet each other, don’t blame me, blame you!”
Schmidt "retorted".
"Okay, fortunately we have met now, and we are reunited as old friends!"
Liu Lang was followed by two translators, but they were no longer needed, so they had to translate for Yang Yong, Wang Zhendong and others. Yang Yong was filled with emotion when he saw Liu Lang talking proficiently in German.
A group of people came to the conference room and sat down.
"Jimmy, I really didn't expect you to be the chairman of Norinco. Are you still the chairman of Shengtang Company?"
What Schmidt is most curious about is Liu Lang's identity. Is he the chairman of Shengtang Company or the chairman of Norinco? The nature of these two companies is so different that they are completely unrelated.
industry.
In recent years, everyone thinks that Liu Lang is an entertainment tycoon, and of course, there are also bosses in the venture capital circle. No one knows that he is also engaged in industrial enterprises. Is a person at the top of the food chain in the entertainment industry still an engineering expert?
The cross-border crossing is too big, it’s incredible even if you think about it.
"Schmidt, investment must be spread widely. I am now eyeing the automobile industry. As a man, what can you do if you don't play with others?"
Liu Lang laughed and said.
"is that so?"
Schmidt was a little confused, but there was nothing wrong with it after thinking about it, but this was a bit inconsistent with Liu Lang's style.
"Okay, Mr. Schmidt, I come here with sincerity this time, hoping to cooperate with BMW, so don't treat me as an entertainment star. I am now the boss of Norinco Group, representing Shenghe Automobile
Co., Ltd., let’s talk about cars, not entertainment. Of course, we can talk about entertainment after the meeting is over. Anyone who wants concert tickets should contact me as soon as possible!”
"Jimmy, let's talk about cars. How do you cooperate?"
Schmidt also got down to business.
"It's very simple. I have to be the best at what I do, and I have to be different from other companies. In the past few years, including Volkswagen and General Motors, they have built factories in our country. Both parties have joint ventures to develop cars, especially Volkswagen. As early as more than ten years ago,
It was started many years ago. BMW missed a move and allowed Volkswagen to take the lead. Of course, our country's market is too big, so it is not impossible to make a late move. But Volkswagen's advantages are obvious and will not happen overnight.
can catch up, so our cooperation is a crucial step for your company.
How to cooperate? In the first step, we want to introduce one or two sets of engine production lines. In the second step, we can produce related parts for BMW. Everyone at Andrews Company should know that the machine tools they manufacture have many parts.
The components are all made by us, and the quality is not bad at all, and the price is 30% lower. In fact, based on my manufacturing cost, the price can be as low as more than 70%, but that would be suspected of dumping.
Of course, the parts that Andrews needs are lower-end, and these parts are also low-end products for us. We at Norinco have the ability to produce better products, and they will definitely meet BMW's requirements."
"Oh? You think you want to buy one or two engine production lines? Jimmy, what do you want this for?"
Schmidt asked.
"Localization! The core of a car is the engine, which has the largest profit ratio. As long as the engine is made locally, the price of the car will be greatly reduced. Isn't this great?"
Liu Lang replied.
"Localizing the engine? Haha, Jimmy, it seems you are really an amateur!"
Schmidt and the senior executives of BMW all looked at Liu Lang and laughed. In his eyes, this was really a funny joke.
"Jimmy, let me tell you the truth. With your country's manufacturing capabilities, it is almost impossible to manufacture a car engine. At least it has not been possible for the past twenty years. As for localization, it is also difficult because of an engine production line.
It requires a group of highly qualified technical workers to operate it. I have been to your country and know the production capacity of your country. With the production level of your country, I am afraid that even normal operation will be difficult.
Jimmy, we are friends. I advise you not to do this. This is not your problem, but the problem of your country’s industrial level. Your country is only suitable for manufacturing some industrial downstream products, and the demand for this area is also very large.
of.
As for your Norinco Group’s intention to provide parts for our company, this matter can be discussed, of course, provided that your Norinco Group can meet our standards!”
Schmidt and Liu Lang were friends, so they didn't hide anything. What he said made sense. Judging from the country's production level, it was indeed far away from the automobile engine. Of course, even if it reached the level, Germany would not sell the engine production line to
Liu Lang, this is the core technology!
Liu Lang smiled.
"Mr. Schmidt, I can't say enough. As for me, I just want to do something that others can't do. I heard that your company acquired Rover five years ago and spent about four billion U.S. dollars. Now
I also know something about the operating conditions of this company, it’s very bad, and you are planning to sell this company, I think we can make a fuss about Luhua Company!”
