"What? The leader is here? Ok. I will be there tonight! "Feng Yu had only stayed at home for two days when he received a call from Hou Haitao. The leader of the army had finally arrived.
The leader was supposed to visit Bing City Aviation Factory before New Year's Day and at the same time, visit Hou Haitao. But the leader had some matters to attend to and did not arrive. This made Feng Yu wait for a long time.
This time, the leader had finally arrived. Feng Yu immediately returned to Bing City. If he could get the army's order, then Songjiang Motors would have nothing to worry about!
… …
"General Gan, this is Feng Yu, General Manager Feng, and the biggest shareholder of Bing City Machinery Company. General Manager Feng, this is General Gan from Shen City's military. "
Although General Gan knew about Feng Yu, he was still stunned when he saw Feng Yu. This was the General Manager Feng whom the Chief Architect had praised? The younger generation will surpass the older generation!
"General Manager Feng, I heard that you want to meet me. What's the matter?"
Feng Yu felt disdain in his heart. Hou Haitao had told him why I am looking for you. But Feng Yu looked at General Gan's epaulet. Lieutenant General? That wasn't a low position. Was he someone who could make decisions?
"General Gan, is the army going to be equipped with cars? Our Songjiang Motors had won a national award, and even the Chief Architect had praised it. Also, we are exporting our cars to Russia and other regions. Director Hou also knows about this. "
General Gan had only arrived at the Aviation Factory at this time was to see how Songjiang Motors was doing. The army was preparing to purchase a batch of new military vehicles. Most of the military vehicles were Jeeps. The performance was not good, and the vehicles were dusty and had a high failure rate.
This time, the higher-ups had decided to purchase a batch of high-quality military vehicles for the leaders. The first ones they contacted were the Japanese and US automobile manufacturers. But the prices were too high. An average vehicle cost more than 300,000 RMB. That's why they could not reach an agreement.
Hou Haitao reported to Feng Yu that Bing City Machinery Company had produced an off-road vehicle. The exterior is beautiful and cheap. But the higher-ups do not want to purchase it.
To them, the quality of domestic cars is not good. The best off-road vehicle is Jeep's J2020. Jeep is an old brand, and they specialize in one model. But compared to overseas off-road vehicles, there is still a huge gap.
The cars from Japan and the US were too expensive, and they could not afford it. When they were about to talk to Beijing Jeep to purchase another batch of J2020, they found out that the Chief Designer had gone to Longjiang province for an inspection. He even visited Bing City's Machinery Company and praised the Machinery Company's automobile industry!
Only then did they remember that Hou Haitao had recommended this company's car to them. Therefore, these leaders started to ponder. Since the Bureau Chief had praised the company, how could they not support it?
They asked around in the market. This Songjiang Off-Road is much better than the J2020, and they are satisfied with it. But it is too expensive. One car can buy 2 to 3 jeeps.
So, these people discussed again. Should they purchase a batch of Songjiang Off-Roads?
They could not reach a consensus, and the leader in charge of purchasing from General Assembly submitted the report to the higher-ups to decide.
This level of discussion and discussion would not waste any more time. General Assembly had planned to visit Bing City Aviation Factory around New Year's Eve to inspect Hou Haitao. But to discuss the purchase of vehicles, it was delayed until after New Year.
Now, General Gan is representing General Assembly to speak to Feng Yu to see if he can give them a discount. They want to purchase a batch of Songjiang Off-Road vehicles.
All of them knew that Songjiang Motors vehicles were exported to Russia. This proves that the quality of Songjiang Motors vehicles is very good.
Now, Feng Yu is the one who suggested this, and they have the upper hand.
"Ah, General Manager Feng, this is not easy. Old Hou has mentioned this to us before, but your car is too expensive. Look at Beijing Jeep. The retail price of the latest model is only about 80,000 RMB, and the cheapest model is more than 60,000 RMB. If we purchase in bulk, the prices will be lower. Your cars are not competitive at all. "General Gan purposely said.
"You get what you pay for. General Gan, you can get professionals to test the quality of our cars. Furthermore, our car was much more spacious than the Jeep. It could seat seven people, or even ten people. It is more powerful, more stable, and more fuel-efficient. There are too many advantages. "
"But your cars can buy more than two Jeeps. It is too expensive!" General Gan shook his head.
"General Gan, I've also bought a jeep before. It's too prone to problems and often breaks down. Our military is all about efficiency. We must arrive at the designated location at the designated time. This way, we can complete our mission. What if our cars break down in the middle of the mission? Our cars do not have these problems. Furthermore, the leader is sitting in the Jeep, and he is almost falling apart. How can he command the troops? Our cars have better shock absorbers, and we have military green and camouflage colors. It is suitable for the military. "Feng Yu continued to talk about the advantages.
At the same time, Feng Yu signaled Hou Haitao with his eyes. I had given you 2 million RMB, and you are not going to help me?
Hou Haitao was speechless. If he knew this would happen, he would have gone to pour water for Feng Yu. I am from the military, and these people are my own people!
"General Gan, I heard that the Russian army is also purchasing Songjiang Off-Road as their military vehicles."
"Really? But Russia is rich, and we do not have so much money. "
If Russia was really rich, the Soviet Union would not be disintegrated so quickly. Although Russia had inherited most of the Soviet Union's assets, they had to bear some of the debts. Also, Rubles were depreciating, and Russia's assets were shrinking. Feng Yu and Kirilenko do not use Rubles to settle their transactions.
No USD, British Pounds, French Francs, Japanese Yen, anything is fine, but not Rubles, because it's already a loss!
Kirilenko had placed two orders with Tai Hua Trading. The first order was for 300 Songjiang Olympic cars, and the other order was for 200 Songjiang Off-Roads. Feng Yu does not know if these Songjiang Off-Roads were sold to the military. But this was what Bing City Machinery Company advertised to the public.
Feng Yu understood that General Gan had the intention to purchase these vehicles, but he was not satisfied with the prices. As long as the military was willing to purchase these vehicles, he would not mind earning less.
In Feng Yu's previous life, it was because of the military's purchases that Beijing Jeep survived. Beijing Jeep was also China's number one vehicle manufacturer. Two years ago, its annual sales had exceeded 50,000 units and became the market leader in Hua Xia.
But this year, Beijing Jeep will not be the market leader. It was because Volkswagen Santana will take away most of the market share. After Volkswagen Santana and Audi, the Government's orders for Beijing Jeep had almost stopped. Furthermore, with Songjiang Motors vehicles, the sales will drop further.
If Songjiang Motors could get the military's orders, it will be like Beijing Jeep. The civilians will have more trust in Songjiang Motors, and it will stimulate the purchase of government vehicles and family vehicles. That's why Feng Yu was very concerned about this.
"What price can General Gan accept? If we can break even, then we can still negotiate. We can treat it as helping the military! "Feng Yu thought for a while and said.
General Gan was overjoyed. He was waiting for this reply!
