Jiang Botao's speech took more than forty minutes and was interrupted by applause from time to time. The scene was very lively.
After Jiang Botao finished speaking, Volkswagen President Mueller came to the stage to give a speech. Before taking the stage, he and Jiang Botao gave a brotherly hug. Both parties are old friends and the relationship is already very good.
Muller spoke from his own experience and talked about the changes in China over the years. He mainly elaborated on the aspect of automobile consumption. Volkswagen entered the Chinese market in 1980. In that year, there were only a few cars in the entire capital. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Now, the streets of the capital are full of cars. If things develop at this rate, there will be traffic jams on the streets of the capital in five years.
This phenomenon is not only happening in the capital. Cars have appeared on the roads of many big cities across the country. This momentum is unstoppable and is the general trend. Muller predicts that China will become the world's largest automobile consumer in ten years.
Volkswagen has prepared 500,000 cars for it, but 500,000 cars are just a drop in the bucket for a huge Chinese market.
Sitting below was the head of Mercedes-Benz, looking at Muller with envy. Volkswagen's achievements in China over the years have made all car companies jealous.
In the 1980s, everyone had the same opportunity, but many people were skeptical about China's future development. Who knows what their future will be like? If one day there is another "attack on local tyrants to divide their land", I will even cry.
It was too late, and when others were hesitant, Volkswagen entered China without hesitation, signed a contract with China, and formed a joint venture four years later. Three years later, most of the Santner cars made in China rolled off the production line.
.
This car has become a milestone in the history of Chinese automobiles, and its impact is unmatched by other companies. Although many car companies have entered the Chinese market, the Chinese people's affection for Volkswagen is unmatched by other companies.
Just look at the attitude of the Chinese government. The vehicles they purchase are
Volkswagen, this has become a standard feature. From the national government down to the county and district governments, Volkswagen has been chosen as the first purchase object. Moreover, in terms of price, Volkswagen is cheaper than other cars. After all, Santner
Eighty percent of the parts and components are made in China, which is not comparable to other companies.
Muller danced and danced on stage, and finally dropped a bombshell. He announced that Volkswagen had officially reached a cooperation intention with China FAW Company, and the two parties had started negotiations. It is expected that FAW-Volkswagen Company will be officially established next year, and by then Volkswagen will
Other models of the company will also gradually be made locally, which is a critical blow to the bosses of car companies such as Mercedes-Benz.
After Mueller finished speaking, little Andrew took the stage next. Liu Lang was secretly amused in the audience. A few years ago, little Andrew was a thin man. Now he has gained a few pounds and weighs more than 200 kilograms. Fortunately, he is tall.
He is very tall, otherwise he would really look like a pig. From his figure, it can be seen that he has lived a very good life in the past few years.
Little Andrew also boasted about China and claimed to be a good friend of the Chinese people. In fact, this is also true. Andrews Company can develop like this because of the Chinese market. He has a factory here, with more than three factories a year.
The monthly meeting is working in a factory in China, and I can even speak a little Chinese.
After little Andrew finished speaking, Fan Wenming, the general manager of FAW Company, came to the stage. FAW Company is a large enterprise at the bureau level. As a general manager, he is naturally very eloquent. He looked forward to the future prospects of FAW Company and made plans for the cars produced jointly with Volkswagen.
It is sold nationwide, and we also hope that other automobile companies will enter the Chinese market.
After several people finished talking, it was already half past eleven. Everyone was in high spirits. It was an exciting banquet.
The speech part is over, and then it’s time to eat. Westerners eat differently from Chinese people. Chinese people sit around and drink together, and they will definitely be drunk by the end of the drink. Of course, the emphasis is on deep feelings, a deep sip, and a light lick.
As for whether there are true feelings, only you can know for yourself.
This is not the case for Westerners. Most of these large banquets are buffets. You can get whatever you need and go find whoever you want to chat with. For this reason, the German side also hired a dozen Chinese students studying in Germany to serve as translators. When these ten
When several students walked into the venue, Liu Lang saw an old acquaintance at a glance.
"He Tao!"
Liu Lang walked up to the man and patted him.
"You...fuck, Liu Lang!"
This person is none other than He Tao, Liu Lang's roommate at Huaxia University.
Du Song, Lin Hai and He Tao were Liu Lang's roommates in college. They all took the college entrance examination in 1983. Normally, they should be college students in the 1987 class. However, Liu Lang went to study in the United States after studying for three years.
When Liu Lang graduated in 1987, he named three people to study abroad. Jun Jun went to
After arriving in the United States, Lin Hai went to the island country, and He Tao went to Ruhr University in Germany to study engineering machinery. He first spent a year learning German in a German preparatory class before officially going to school. The other two were similar.
Only by learning the language can you go to school.
It is now 1990, and according to time, they will graduate this year.
These three roommates are Liu Lang's loyal friends. It was Liu Lang who helped them study abroad. Otherwise, even if the three of them had excellent grades, they would not all be able to go abroad in the same dormitory. This incident also caused dissatisfaction among other students at the time.
So the next year, Hua Xia University set a rule that only two students from one major could be sent abroad each year.
When they were at Hua Xia University, the three of them followed Liu Lang's lead. In recent years, they also corresponded with Liu Lang frequently. When Liu Lang was studying in the United States, he went to Connecticut to meet Lin Hai and casually gave him two
As for living expenses of one thousand US dollars, I also asked Shao Ming in the island country to find Juniper, and also gave him two thousand US dollars. On the other hand, He Tao in Germany had no friends here, so he could only give him spiritual encouragement.
Liu Lang was very happy to meet He Tao unexpectedly at this banquet, and the other party was also very surprised.
"Liu Lang, I haven't seen you in three years, and you have grown so much. By the way, you said in your letter last time that you had graduated. What are you doing now?"
"Brother He, I established an industrial group in China two years ago. Now it has begun to take shape. You are going to graduate this year. How about you come back to China and help me?"
"I will graduate in June this year...but how much salary can you give me? I am a well-educated person now, so my salary is too low!"
He Tao said with a smile, obviously he was also joking with Liu Lang. The four of them had a very good relationship when they were at Huaxia University. The oldest one, Jun Song, brought Liu Lang food every day, and then Lin Hai, who studied the hardest.
At the beginning, I always wanted to defeat Liu Lang and become the first in the year group. As a result, half a year later
I found that this matter was not realistic and I could only earn second place. He Tao was seventeen years old when he went to college. If not for Liu Lang, he would have been considered a little genius. However, he was indeed very talented and had a wide range of interests.
I like to play the guitar, but after listening to Liu Lang's songs, I realized that my level was far behind.
