It took a lot of time to inspect the new car that had just rolled off the production line. It even had to be driven for two laps in the factory area to make final determinations, and then Yang Dongxu and Qian Liangcai got in the car.
Because it is a new car, the smell inside the car is a bit strong, but Yang Dongxu spent a lot of money to use real leather in his first car, so although the smell is a bit loud, it is not unbearable.
The first thing Qian Liangcai felt when sitting in the new car was that it was spacious. Compared with the Santana, Nissan and other cars he had made before. The first impression of the BMW A4 is that it is spacious and comfortable.
As the driving progressed, Qian Liangcai's second feeling was that it was stable and made little noise. When I was building other cars in the past, I always felt like there was a small motor sitting under my butt, my ears were always buzzing, and when I encountered a slight bump in the road conditions, it would make me fly.
But he saw the car driving through a frog pit with his own eyes, and he felt a little swaying while sitting in the car. He gave full marks to the shock absorption effect.
"This car uses the most advanced shock-absorbing measures in the world. Don't put your head outside the car. This is unsafe. The glass can be raised and lowered automatically, and it is one-way glass. You can see the outside from the inside. People outside can't see inside..." When they got in the car together, Yang Dongxu naturally acted as the narrator.
This car model was designed by him himself. Not to mention the engine, it was not something he could do, but he had an absolute say in the interior.
At the same time, 80% of the entire car's parts are airlifted from Italy. After all, it takes three months to build the first phase of the factory. It will take at least half a year to produce the car, so the parts can only be airlifted for the time being. The supporting facilities will be gradually improved later.
The test drive lasted for more than an hour. At first it was the company's professional driver, then Qian Liangcai's driver. Finally, Qian Liangcai himself felt a little itchy and drove for a while. In short, after getting out of the car, everyone gave unanimous praise.
We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing goods. Originally, Hu Qian Liangcai was definitely not happy that his own son was intercepted, but after driving for a while, he had to admit that putting aside his personal feelings, if he were asked to choose the car in front of him, it would definitely overwhelm Santana and become a government-specific vehicle. .
"The overall feeling is very good, but I don't know the quality in the future..." Qian Liangcai never hesitates to praise the good stuff, but he will raise the questions in his heart.
"You can rest assured about this car. Although most of the parts of this car are produced abroad, after the factory construction is completed, the quality of all parts will be in accordance with international standards. The government quality supervision department can conduct random inspections. You can also You can keep an eye on this matter yourself.
Regarding the quality of the BMW A4, we provide one-year replacement for quality problems and three-year free maintenance services. In other words, as long as there is a quality problem with us, we are fully responsible. "Yang Dongxu assured, patting his chest.
Even if Qian Liangcai didn't mention this matter, he would bring it up, joking that after-sales service is also the hen that lays golden eggs, okay? If you don't hold her in your arms at this time, why don't you give it to someone else?
"Is it really one-year replacement and three-year warranty?" Qian Liangcai looked at Yang Dongxu in surprise. No car manufacturer has ever made this promise, and it sounds a bit exaggerated no matter how it sounds. Is your car really so awesome that it won’t have quality problems within a year and won’t be damaged in three years?
“This can be written directly in the car purchase contract, but the replacement and warranty are really the consequences of our own quality problems. If it is man-made damage or damage caused by the driver’s own careless behavior, we will not cover it. Irresponsible." Yang Dongxu drank happily.
Just kidding, cars are not toys, they will break if you handle them casually. What's more, he strictly controls the cars produced. As long as a car is taken care of and driven for ten to twenty years, there is no problem. So as long as you don't commit suicide, there will be no major quality problems that require repairs in the first three years.
Hearing that this could be written into the car purchase contract, Qian Liangcai was instantly relieved. Since it was written in black and white, even if the young man in front of him had a great background and dared to fool him, he could still let him know that Lord Ma had three eyes.
After he was basically relieved, Qian Liang couldn't help but care about the most important question: "What's the price of the whole car?"
"Depending on the engine model and other parts, the price ranges from 200,000 to 500,000. Who knows? Take the information you brought before and show it to the mayor." Yang Dongxu said the price with a sly smile. , asked someone to take out the color picture album materials that had been prepared long ago.
This material is basically the promotional material that will be used in 4S stores in the future, so it is very beautifully made. The paper is not to mention very thick and hard, just like the car in front of you. It gives people a very high-end feeling at first glance.
"Minimum 200,000?" Qian Liangcai frowned after looking at the general introduction in the album.
"Yes, the car you are looking at has a minimum configuration of 200,000 yuan. However, we do not require foreign exchange during settlement and can settle entirely in RMB. Because the company plans to invest all the money earned in the next three years into production and construction. This way Settlement is also convenient." Yang Dongxu made a small ambush here.
Complete settlement in RMB sounds very tempting, because the government is now in short supply of foreign exchange. All the money earned in the next three years will be invested in production and construction, which gives people a subconscious feeling that Yang Dongxu will increase investment in the Magic City. In other words, the money he earns from the Modu government will not be taken away, but will be kept for investment. This is undoubtedly a very exciting condition.
"Let's get this one worth 320,000 yuan. Let's complete the first transaction first, and we'll talk about the rest later." After pondering for a while, Qian Liangcai made his choice. As for other things, he was going to go back and repay the favor, and the city government started a collective I will make a decision later.
Judging from the information I know and the feeling of the first test drive, if the quality of every subsequent car is like this. So this BMW is at least one level ahead of FAW in every aspect.
Although FAW is a state-owned brand, BMW is also a joint venture, and it still holds 51% of the shares. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a state-owned enterprise. In this way, this matter is a bit tangled. Should he take care of his own son, or should he be better to his godson, who currently seems to have more prospects?
"Okay, no problem. We will deliver the goods on time within a month. You can drive this car back first. It is not included in the first batch of 10 vehicles. As a member of the Magic City Business, in order to support Donations for government work.”
"This seems to be against policy, right?"
"I'm borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. You guys hold the majority of the company's shares." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Haha..." Qian Liangcai also found it interesting to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and couldn't help laughing.
After everything was settled, the first cooperation was quite pleasant so far. We naturally had a meal together at noon. In the afternoon, we had a good tour of the first production line that had been put into use and other projects under construction. Then Qian Liangcai returned. Very satisfied with the overall impression of BMW.
"When will Dante come and take office?" Yang Dongxu asked Huang Ying beside him after seeing off Qian Liangcai.
BMW really couldn't find a suitable candidate to take charge of it for the time being, so Huang Ying was removed and brought back to take charge here temporarily. Dante is one of the top executives of Maserati. Although he does not meet any of the three conditions that Yang Dongxu needs to stay as a top executive, he has rich company management experience.
Therefore, when no one was responsible for the domestic car side, Yang Dongxu took him out to take charge of things here. Since it was a joint venture, it would be better for him to be less involved in dealing with the government. It would be more convenient for Dante, an Italian, to handle these tasks.
Otherwise, although he gained a lot of favors from above because of this Ukraine transaction. But when he, a businessman, faced a high-ranking government official like Qian Liangcai, he always felt like he was inferior to the other person. This was not the feeling that would lead to good cooperation in the future.
So after getting over the excitement and wonder of his car company's first car rolling off the assembly line, Yang Dongxu felt that the future operations of the company should be left to professionals. He only needed to control the general direction.
"The work in Italy has been handed over clearly, and Dante will arrive in Yanjing on Wednesday."
"Wednesday? I should go back by that time, just in time to pick him up and do some preliminary work arrangements. You will have to work hard here for a few more days." Yang Dongxu nodded and said, "Have you brought back the sports car I want? "
As the boss of a company, you will naturally have to drive your own company's car in the future. Otherwise, the boss won't drive his own car. How will you make those consumers think?
So the family car is naturally the BMW A4. After the first batch of cars needed by the Shanghai Municipal Government are delivered, a high-end one can be shipped back to replace the previous Jeep.
As a handsome middle-aged uncle who has always dreamed of driving a sports car, Yang Dongxu would have felt really sorry for traveling to Italy himself if he didn't get a Shamal back.
Shamal The most classic sports car in the history of Maserati is known as the Son of the Wind. It is also the key to the fact that Maserati can still be sold for more than 700 million US dollars even though it is obviously going downhill.
Yang Dongxu fell in love with this red sports car with Lamborghini elements when he first saw it. So before he came back from Italy, he arranged to have one shipped back.
It took three months for the shipment to arrive in Yanjing, and Yang Dongxu could no longer complain about the speed of shipping in this era.
"We have arrived in Hong Kong. Hong Kong Customs will handle the formalities, and domestic Customs Manager Sun will take over. It is estimated that it will arrive next week." Huang Ying said.
Manager Sun is none other than Dongzi, whose name is Sun Anding. In the past, he had dealt with customs a lot in international trade, so it would be no problem for him to be responsible for this aspect.
"Dongzi is still there and hasn't come back?" Yang Dongxu asked.
There was nothing he could do about being tortured by Dongzi before, so Yang Dongxu followed his request and sent him to Shenzhen in the name of the company so that the conflict between him and Juanzi could be dealt with calmly.
He didn't go to Shenzhen to do anything else, but to buy stocks from the newly established Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Since the Shanghai Stock Exchange was first established and no one cared about it, and now it has become a hot mess, stocks have become a hunting ground for people who like to make money.
Yang Dongxu, who originally made a lot of money on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under Zhou Ya's arrangement, didn't want to get involved in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. After all, everyone now knows that stocks are a good thing, and the profits from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange will definitely be much lower than before.
With this free time, Yang Dongxu might as well do something else, but Dongzi was so annoyed that he simply gave him a sum of money and a few stocks to let him run away.
