Chapter 1956: One Hundred Million Yuan to Acquire Huaguang

Wan Feng didn't even bother to be polite and tactful with these foreigners. He didn't even show up, and let Zhou Liming accompany Chen Wenxin and these foreigners in the public relations department's meeting room.

Just tell the foreigner that the boss is not at home.

Of course, he will know what the foreigner is going to do at the first time.

He went to the small car department to study cars with Asada Nobuyuki.

Asada Nobuyuki wanted to use the 468 engine to build a 1.3L three-box car, and Wanfeng supported this.

Chinese people love three-box cars much more than two-box cars. As for the specific reason, even scientists would not be able to explain it for the time being.

Although the 1.3L sedan feels a bit small, it is at least a sedan. In line with the approach of taking one step at a time, Wan Feng does not object to Asada Nobuyuki doing it.

His creed came into play again at this time. If he couldn't do it well, he could still do it badly!

Even if you make mistakes, you still gain experience!

Taking advantage of the current shortage of cars in China, this car might be able to sell well.

Of course the appearance must be eye-catching.

Wan Feng couldn't stand watching Asada Nobuyuki and several technicians drawing those boxy car models on the computer. He was tired of watching them.

Wan Feng ran back to his office, took out his album from the safe, and rummaged through it.

There are so many paintings that my eyes are dizzy.

This one looks good, that one looks good too, but after seeing them all, I became dazzled and they all looked the same.

He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and reached out to pull out one at random.

It seems to be a 1.3L car called Excelle.

I vaguely remember that it seemed to be made by Buick, but I don’t care who made it.

Wan Feng ran back to Asada Nobuyuki with the concept map.

"Mr. Asada, what do you think of this style?"

Asada Nobuyuki stared at the drawings thrown by Wan Feng, and his eyes did not move for a long time.

"Boss Wan! Where are you from?"

"I just drew it randomly. I used to feel uncomfortable looking at the boxy shapes of cars, so I thought, couldn't they make the corners a little more rounded? So I picked up my pen and drew some random sketches. I just remembered it when I saw you guys designing it. Luckily, I still have it when I went back. You guys can study it."

"It's so beautiful! If this car is made, I will die with my eyes closed."

When Wan Feng heard this, he asked, "Are you dying just because of this one picture? I have a whole book with hundreds of pictures. How many times do you plan to die?"

"Mr. Wan! Did you really draw this randomly?" Asada Nobuyuki asked doubtfully.

"Really! I didn't draw them with my hands, I used my feet to hold the pen. The pickup truck, microvan, and the micro sedan that's being tested outside were all drawn by me with my feet."

This time, Asada Nobuyuki believed that the picture was drawn by Wan Feng. The designs of the pickup truck, micro van and micro car were indeed thought up by him. It's a pity that he is not a car styling designer.

But he firmly didn't believe what he said about drawing it with his feet.

He knew that his boss's statement was untenable and, in the words of local Chinese people, it was a bullshit.

But this is just bullshit; if it comes to bullshit, eight or ten people probably can't beat him. But when it comes to serious matters, he is absolutely decisive and always says what he means.

Just like now, Asada Nobuyuki decided to adopt this model, and Wan Feng approved 10 million in experimental funds on the spot.

We already have the shape and the engine for this car, so we don't need to spend any more money on these two things. The next thing we need to develop is the suspension, gearbox, chassis, etc. Even if ten million is not enough, it will be enough.

With the approval of the funding, Nobuyuki Asada's small car, codenamed Tengyue, was officially launched.

Wan Feng also followed them to make some design plans and put forward some suggestions that were not very effective, but he himself knew that not many of his suggestions would be adopted.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Wan Feng came out of the workshop and saw a few guys who were picking up goods arguing in the shade.

Wan Feng pretended to be a worker and went over to listen to what these guys were saying, but he couldn't listen after just two sentences.

These guys were actually discussing replacing the back half of the Star of Happiness with a truck bed.

These guys are in the whole car and they want a truck bed. Won’t their wives be dissatisfied if they give it to them?

At noon, Wan Feng asked Zhou Liming to take the foreigners to a restaurant for lunch. As for the standard method of slipping away, it would be fine.

Chen Wenxin did not go to the restaurant at noon, but ate in the group cafeteria. During the meal, he reported the foreigner's purpose to Wan Feng.

"Foreigners want to buy our Huaguang?"

Wan Feng thought that Ai Lixin came to discuss cooperation, but he didn't know that they were ready to take over everything.

This one was a bit beyond his expectation. Why did Ai Lixin come to buy his Huaguang?

Although everyone makes a living in the communications field, there is not much overlap between them.

Did Ailixin know that he had won the mobile phone supply contract that China would implement next year?

If Ai Lixin knew it now, they knew it too quickly! They knew it in just a few days?

There must be no spies for Ai Lixin here in Huaguang, so Ai Lixin must have gotten this information from the Ministry of Information Industry.

He has great connections!

This explains why Ailixin suddenly came to buy Huaguang. It wanted to buy Huaguang's technology and contract together.

"Did they say how much?"

"One hundred million Mi Yuan."

"One hundred million yuan! You want to buy my Huaguang for such a small amount of money? Ask them this afternoon if they want the sign at the entrance of Huaguang. Sell it to them for one hundred million yuan and we'll change the name."

Are these foreigners used to taking advantage? 100 million yuan to buy his Huaguang.

The current exchange rate is still one US dollar to five point seventy-eight, and the black market price is still around eight yuan.

Even if converted into black market price, it is only 800 million.

His Huaguang's annual profit is now more than 800 million. The other party has made a good calculation and is taking advantage of his ignorance of numbers.

Chen Wenxin smiled: "Then how should I answer them this afternoon?"

"The polite way to put it is to tell them the boss has no intention of selling the company. The uncivil way is to tell them to get the hell out of here."

"So that's my answer?"

"Of course, we are civilized people, so we should speak civilized words first."

After dinner, Chen Wenxin left.

After Chen Wenxin left, Wan Feng frowned. He always felt something was wrong.

If there are people above Ailixin, they will not give up. This matter that seemed to be a sure thing seems to be a lie!

But no matter what follow-up measures the other party will take, Wan Feng will definitely not give this project to foreigners, no matter who else.

This is a big piece of meat. Even if he can't keep it all for himself, he will share it with domestic Chinese companies. Foreigners can forget about it.

If it is divided among domestic enterprises, who will it be given to?

It seems that no one can produce this thing at the moment.

How about Warwick?

When Wan Feng began to consider diversion, Chen Wenxin had already conveyed Wan Feng's intentions to Ai Li's new people.

The Ai Lixin people left that afternoon after expressing their regret.
