"Meng Bu, we have two guests. I think you might be interested in meeting, Rashan Tata, chairman of India's Tata Group, and Dijan Tata, chairman of Tata Motors."
An hour later, just after Meng Buzhang had finished giving ideological education to the CEOs of car companies such as Modu Auto, he received a call from Feng Yu.
Meng Buzhang immediately expressed his availability. It seemed that Feng Yu was still thinking about the country as the legend said.
"Meng Bu, the Tata Group is a very close partner with our Taihua Holding Group and Fengyu Holding Group. They plan to launch some cooperation with our country's car companies. In the field of passenger cars, naturally it is with Bingcheng Machinery Manufacturing Group cooperation, but in the field of commercial vehicles, Meng Buzhang still needs to make recommendations."
Meng Bu was overjoyed. This was to give him the credit. How could Feng Yu not be able to contact several commercial vehicle companies in China
Tata Motors ranks among the top three in the world in the field of commercial vehicles, especially in the field of medium-sized and heavy-duty vehicles, and is stronger than Crazy Field.
There are many benefits to working with such a strong partner.
Meng Buzhang looked at Feng Yu. In fact, in terms of heavy trucks, Songjiang Automobile's neighbors are very good. Along with Modu Automobile and Dongfeng Automobile Company, they are all China's top commercial vehicle companies.
If it were him, he would choose Modu Auto, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a good idea. Because in this way, Yiqi will inevitably face a transformation and focus more on commercial vehicles, so that it can avoid competition with Songjiang Automobile. This should be what Feng Yu wants to see most, right
"On behalf of Huaxia Industrial Fabrics, I would like to thank Mr. Feng for connecting us. I think it is a good fit. They can also transform and specialize in commercial vehicles in the future."
Feng Yu shook his head: "Mengbu, I personally feel that Yiqi is not appropriate. Because Yiqi is also responsible for the revitalization of Hongqi Cars, our country's earliest and most famous car brand should not be lost."
What Feng Yu said made Meng Buzhang very surprised. He was a little ashamed at the same time, as if he was not a villain in vain! Feng Yu didn't even think about what to do with Yiqi, maybe he didn't take Yiqi seriously at all.
After all, in the field of passenger cars, Songjiang Automobile occupies more than 40% of the market in China.
If this is the case, then Dongfeng Motors is more suitable. Their light trucks and heavy trucks are also relatively famous in China. It's just that he has some doubts. If Tata's brand is introduced, wouldn't it have a huge impact on its own brands
"If Mr. Feng says so, I think Dongfeng Motors is a good fit, but how to cooperate? After introducing Tata Motors' brand, will our independent brands disappear because of the higher sales volume like we did back then?"
"Absolutely not! This cooperation is different from other joint ventures between car companies and overseas car companies. We are a technical cooperation. Although we also produce cars of their brands, we do not need to do as much promotion as other joint venture car companies. . And this is a two-way street. Tata also wants to help our car brand enter their Indian market, and the joint venture will last only ten years."
Ten years is enough time for China's commercial vehicle technology to improve to a big level, and as long as it is promoted properly, there is no need to worry that other brands will suppress domestic brands. Once there are signs of this, the cooperation can be terminated or the cooperation plan can be renegotiated after ten years.
China does not allow foreign investment to establish independent automobile factories, and the same is true in India. Therefore, not only will Tata establish a joint venture factory in China, Songjiang Automobile and Dongfeng Automobile can also establish a joint venture factory with Tata in India.
Of course, both parties have to make compromises. Tata Motors wants to hold 35% of the equity in the joint venture with Songjiang Motors, which is more than one-third, so that Songjiang Motors cannot form an absolute controlling stake and make it clear. Likewise.
Meng Bu's eyes widened: "You mean, we can invest in establishing a joint venture factory in India? Our commercial vehicles can be produced directly in India?!"
China's commercial vehicles have always been weak and cannot be ranked internationally at all. It seems that the production capacity is good, but in fact, most of the cars produced and sold are joint venture cars. It is difficult to even export to countries such as Vietnam, let alone export further.
Unexpectedly, it suddenly entered the Indian market, which is an Asian automobile industry powerhouse that can compete with island countries and South Korea.
"Cooperation is naturally two-way. I have reached an agreement with Ladan on this aspect. I personally think this condition is very generous. If the boss is not satisfied, then I can only say sorry."
"Satisfied, I'm very satisfied!" Meng Bu said anxiously. Without Feng Yu's help, let alone establishing a joint venture factory in India, even exporting would be impossible, and there would be no competitiveness at all.
What is the slogan of Tata Motors, quality in developed countries, price in developing countries. It’s not just a slogan, it’s something they actually do.
Meng Bu's face glowed with excitement. What a huge political achievement this was, even more significant than when Songjiang Automobile established a joint venture factory in Russia.
And Feng Yu told him first, this can become the "bringing in and going out" completed under his leadership, a solid political achievement that no one can say anything about.
"Mengbu's increase, let me make it clear first. I have learned something. In terms of commercial vehicles in China, there are too few places where the technology is more advanced than Tata Motors. If we want to retain some, we will have to spend more money."
"No problem, Dongfeng Motors can't come up with this money, so we, Buri, will find a way. Buri doesn't have enough funds, so I'll apply to the superiors!" Meng Buzhang seemed extremely decisive and responsible at this time.
Feng Yu turned to the two Tata gentlemen and said in English: "Our country's industrial leaders have agreed. It is initially confirmed that Dongfeng Motors and Tata Motors will cooperate in the field of commercial vehicles. The conditions we agreed on before will not change." .”
Pulling the order? Tata raised his glass, and everyone clinked their glasses together. The general framework of the matter was decided. The specific details were naturally discussed between Tata Motors and Dongfeng Motors, and Feng Yu would not participate.
Tata Group has become Feng Yu’s most important partner in Asia, bar none. And they have conducted in-depth cooperation in various fields.
It has always been those developed countries that unite to make profits in developing countries. Now Feng Yu will do the opposite and join forces with India's Tata Group, which is also a developing country, to make money in developed countries in Europe and the United States.
It also makes capitalists in developed countries understand that developing countries are not so easy to deal with. Even if they are not careful, they will be bitten back.
Although Feng Yu had disgraced Meng Buzhang in the afternoon, he gave Meng Buzhang a political achievement in the evening, which not only eliminated Meng Buzhang's resentment towards him, but now Meng Buzhang was full of feelings for Feng Yu. All thanks!
