After visiting the factory and understanding Tesla's philosophy and technology, Liu Zhenghua went to the Longteng Group's restaurant and experienced a Longteng Group's work meal with Zhang Fan.
"Mr. Zhang, your work lunch is really a luxury."
Seeing the Longteng Group's work meals, Liu Zhenghua and the others couldn't help but sigh. The Longteng Group's work meals are all buffet style. You can take what you want.
But the variety is very rich. Just the staple food is dazzling. Steamed buns, rice, steamed buns, flower rolls, pancakes and so on.
Needless to say, the dishes are divided into several cuisines. You can choose any taste you want. The taste is also very good. Now the Longteng Group restaurants have been replaced by robot chefs, so there is a wide variety.
What Liu Zhenghua envies most is the variety of seafood here, including lobsters, crabs, oysters, and even abalone.
These things are really luxurious. This is a working meal for employees. In other companies, you wouldn’t even think about it.
"It's nothing. Our chefs here are all robots. The raw materials are not expensive. Lanhai City is close to the sea. We also have our own fishing boats. These things are all fresh and not expensive..."
Zhang Fan said with a smile that in fact, the cost of working meals is not big. If you eat seafood every day, it will only taste the same.
In terms of employee benefits, no domestic company can compare with Longteng Group. This is why Longteng Group has such a high level of employee loyalty.
With such high benefits, once you leave, you will never come back. As long as you resign, you will never want to return to the Soaring Dragon system again in this life.
This is an iron rule, so the treatment is not too attractive. The employees of Longteng Group will not leave. Especially the senior management and scientific researchers, they basically will not leave, because it is difficult for ordinary companies to raise the price.
After dinner, the negotiations officially began. The first thing they focused on was the Hongqi brand.
"Mr. Zhang, our proposal is to make the Hongqi brand a joint venture brand. What do you think?"
Liu Zhenghua expressed his expectations for the Hongqi brand. He also wanted to run this brand together with Longteng Group. Zhang Fan laughed when he heard Liu Zhenghua's words.
"Manager Liu, I don't like beating around the bush. To be honest, the Hongqi brand is just a hot potato. If it were anyone else, I probably wouldn't take it even if it was for free. But here, I'm willing to give it a try.
But the premise is that Tesla must fully own the Hongqi brand. If this condition cannot be met, I think it is better not to talk about this brand."
Zhang Fan directly told his trump card. There was nothing to say. This time, Zhang Fan took the initiative. If it wasn't for the sake of the country, Zhang Fan really wouldn't want this hot potato.
"To be honest, with the influence of our Longteng Group, if we establish any sub-brand, the sales volume will not be too bad. There is no need for us to be thankless..."
Zhang Fan's words made Liu Zhenghua and the others swallow their saliva. Although they were prepared for various negotiations, they were still a little uncomfortable when Zhang Fan stated the conditions so neatly.
"Mr. Zhang, can you tell us about your future plans for Hongqi?"
Liu Zhenghua couldn't help but ask.
"Electrification, full electrification. This is our technical advantage, so we must do this. At the same time, the brand is polarized, putting down its airs, focusing on the mid- to low-end, mainly competing with Volkswagen, Toyota and others. At the same time, we will not give up the high-end route, after all, the national concierge is also
Those in need..."
Zhang Fan stated his plan. Hongqi’s future competitors will be car companies like Volkswagen and Toyota. At the same time, one or two high-end cars will be built to meet special needs.
Just like the positioning of Toyota's Century and Volkswagen's Phaeton. Of course, this kind of high-end car is not too focused on sales, but is just for people with special needs.
Electrification is Tesla's advantage. It is also the only thing Tesla is proficient in. As for the fuel version, Tesla will not manufacture it, nor will it spend unnecessary money on research and development.
After listening to Zhang Fan's opinion, Liu Zhenghua and the others nodded. They had also speculated that Tesla would do this. After all, Tesla's advantage is electric vehicles.
"Is it really not possible to join a joint venture? We can give up management and control rights and only take dividends..."
A senior FAW executive couldn't help but ask.
"No. Not even 1% of the shares. It's not that I, Zhang Fan, care about money, but I don't want the new Hongqi to have anything to do with FAW."
Zhang Fan said seriously, which made several senior executives look a little ugly. But they understood what Zhang Fan meant.
Zhang Fan despised FAW from the bottom of his heart and felt that if Hongqi had a relationship with FAW, it would tarnish the Hongqi brand. Although he didn't say it explicitly, that was what he meant.
"Mr. Zhang, we can agree to your request, but I hope we can cooperate further."
Liu Zhenghua raised his head and said, Zhang Fan looked curious when he heard this.
"That's right, we want to cooperate with Tesla. Let Tesla help us develop a car."
Zhang Fan was stunned by Liu Zhenghua's words. Asking Tesla to help them develop a car was something Zhang Fan never expected.
"After learning about your strength today, I know that there is a big gap between us and Tesla in the new energy field. You also know that the dual-point policy is about to be implemented, and we will need a lot of new energy points in the future. But with our
With today’s technology, it may not be possible to develop a car with good technology and good sales, but it will not be successful in a short time. This requires a lot of technical accumulation..."
Liu Zhenghua said seriously. After hearing Liu Zhenghua's words, Zhang Fan understood Liu Zhenghua's plan. On the other hand, he spent money to buy points. Regarding points, many car companies are now working hard to earn points. There are also some companies with sufficient points that have released news. One
The selling price of points will reach 1,000 RMB in the future.
This price is not low, but it is not high for FAW. But FAW, as the leader, is not willing to lose this person. If Tesla can spend money to develop a car for itself, then there will be a good one
Sales volume, then you will have face and reputation, and you can still make profits, so why not do it.
Zhang Fan fell silent and used Tesla's technology to help FAW develop an electric car. There was no problem with the technology. After all, once the technology was conquered, it was there and could be used later.
"Mr. Zhang, we can form a joint venture for this car. You provide the technology, and we are responsible for production and sales. And the parts can be purchased from your Tesla..."
Liu Zhenghua said again. Hearing this, Zhang Fan laughed. If this is the case, then there is no problem. The joint venture form is what we are best at. If we cooperate in this way, it will be special
