Chapter 1129 Happy Cooperation
In the field of compact cars, it has beaten Volkswagen for more than 20 consecutive months?
This simply overturned everyone's imagination!
The people at this moment are not the ones who knew nothing about the Huaxia auto market a few months ago. Through this short period of hard work, they already know that the annual sales volume of the Huaxia auto market has exceeded 750 million vehicles. It is the third largest automobile consumer market in the world after the United States and Japan, and it is almost equal to the sales volume of the whole of Europe, let alone compared with Brazil. To put it bluntly, Brazil has no qualifications to compare with others.

So, how strong should their products be for a local Chinese car manufacturer that can overwhelm the public?

At this moment, everyone looked at Kaiyue in front of them, their eyes were filled with awe and enthusiasm, and they realized that they had encountered a big gold mine!

Seeing everyone's reactions, Ibanis Rocha became more and more satisfied. He continued with a smile: "The group has arranged a test drive event for everyone. You can go up and experience it later, and you can even drive it yourself... Oh, I forgot to tell you just now that all the engines, gearboxes, and on-board computer systems of Huateng Group are also developed by themselves, and their performance is comparable to that of world-class car manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Honda, and Toyota. No less, they are a truly powerful auto industry group."

Bragging, the Brazilians are very good at this. Most importantly, what Ibánis Rocha said is not bragging, and there are not many exaggerated admissions.

Do you even manufacture the engine and gearbox yourself?

Ibanis Rocha's words once again shocked everyone, and the eyes looking at the cars in front of them changed again.

But it is also true that in the eyes of the Brazilians, the engine and gearbox are the most technical things in a car, and being able to produce the engine and gearbox by itself is the best proof of its strong technical strength. It is really amazing that the dealer can even manufacture the engine and gearbox by himself.

But no one suspects that Ibanis Rosa is lying, because Ibanis Rosa has already told everyone that when everyone communicated before, if everyone is interested in this cooperation, the next Huaxia people will Arranging for everyone to visit China will allow everyone to see with their own eyes how these cars come off the production line. If you are not at ease, you can even arrange for you to visit their factory in Syria.

When they heard this just now, everyone couldn't believe their ears: the Chinese not only defeated the Europeans at home in the field of the automobile industry, but even went abroad?

But when Ibanis Rocha put on an attitude of "I know you don't want to believe it, but it's okay, I can take you to see it with your own eyes", although it was still unbelievable, everyone had nothing to say: People are not afraid of you going to see it yourself, so what doubts do you have?

Seeing everyone's reactions, Ibanis Rocha smiled slightly, and continued: "Of course, the most important thing is that Huateng Automobile has an incomparable advantage in terms of vehicle manufacturing costs. Let's take this Excelle as an example. , the same product, in China, the price of this car is almost 4000 US dollars lower than that of Volkswagen, and the configuration is even higher."

For the same level of models, Huaxia's products are actually 4000 dollars cheaper than Volkswagen?

$4000 is not a small amount, and someone immediately asked in surprise: "Mr. Rocha, is what you said true? Is this car really $4000 cheaper than Volkswagen's cars of the same level?"

"It is at least 4000 US dollars," Ibanis Rocha said: "Take jetta-MK4 as an example, the price of this car in China is about 1.75 US dollars, while the price of Huateng Excelle is 1.35 US dollars. ..."

"Wait a minute," the person who just asked the question confirmed to Ibanis Rocha in surprise: "Mr. Rocha, you said that the price of jetta-MK4 in China is only 1.75 US dollars?"

"It starts at US$1.75," Ibanis Rocha patiently corrected, "The top-of-the-line GTI version costs more than US$2.6...Oh, yes, the starting price of this one is US$1.75." The price is still the price of the previous two years, and now, the starting price of jetta-MK4 in China has dropped to about 1.2 US dollars."

The person who just spoke couldn't help but said: "Don't talk about 1.2 US dollars, even if it starts at 1.75 US dollars, it is much cheaper than ours in Brazil..."

This statement was unanimously approved by everyone, and everyone talked about it...

"Yes, the starting price of jetta-MK4 in Brazil starts at 2 US dollars."

"When did Volkswagen's cars become cheap? Even the Jetta-MK2, which is still in production, has a starting price of more than 1.7 US dollars, right?"

"That's right."

"Don't talk about jetta-MK2, even if it's GOL, doesn't it cost us $1.5? I heard that Volkswagen introduced a car to China before, but the Chinese didn't like it at all. It can’t be sold directly.”

"Anything like that?"

"I've also heard that after the launch of Gore, Volkswagen was scolded miserably in China, saying that this product has no sincerity at all..."

"Looking at it this way, we still need to have our own auto industry. With China's own auto industry, ordinary people can buy their favorite cars at such a low price. We Brazilians have to spend a lot more... ..."

"Yeah yeah……"

…………

Everyone was talking about it. If it wasn't for Ibanis Rocha's actual price comparison, everyone wouldn't dare to think that there is such a big price difference between the price of the same car in Brazil and China.

But it’s no wonder these Brazilians are so emotional. Jetta-MK4, which is the domestic Bora, was still positioned as a sports mid-size car when it first entered China, but under the impact of Huateng Industrial Group, they soon had to Modify their product positioning, positioning it as a "compact sports car", and the price has been falling all the way. The starting price has been falling from the initial price of more than 18 yuan. It has fallen to 1.6 yuan, the price is only slightly higher than Excelle, and it has to start a hand-to-hand battle with Huateng Excelle.

But the Brazilians don’t know these things. I heard that the price of jetta-MK4 in China is so cheap. For comparison, who wants to spend more money to buy the same thing?

In fact, it is more than just the emotion and shock of everyone. When Ibánis Rocha went to China for the first time and learned that the price of Volkswagen in China was so cheap, he was also shocked in his heart: Why is Volkswagen in China? Huaxia sells it so cheap?
I also listened to the proud explanation of the casual Huateng Industrial Group staff, who said "Of course it is because we can make cars ourselves, so those European and American car companies can only give a relatively reasonable price", these words , left a deep impression on Ibánis Rocha, and it is precisely because of this that when the personnel of Huateng Industrial Group contacted him this time, expressing their intention to introduce Huateng Automobile to Brazil, hoping to get his support , Ibanis Rocha agreed without hesitation.

Looking at the people who were discussing, Zhang Qihang nodded slightly, and said to Ibanis Rosa: "It's almost there, let everyone try it for themselves."

Ibanis Rocha nodded, and then made arrangements.

........................

After a round of experience, all the Brazilians were in a daze: No wonder the Huaxia people are able to subdue Volkswagen. The product strength of these cars from the Huaxia people is really too strong!

Taking Huateng Excelle as an example, not to mention the luxurious configurations such as electric seats, electric rearview mirrors, four-way adjustable steering wheel, central armrest, high-end CD player, reversing camera system, etc., the passengers in the rear row unexpectedly You can also enjoy the treatment of the rear air-conditioning outlets. Can you believe this kind of thing?

You know, in Brazil, the configuration of rear air-conditioning outlets is a configuration that only appears on mid-level cars with a price of more than 3 US dollars. Now, the Chinese have directly transferred this configuration to a compact car. above.

The ultra-high configuration, coupled with the power system that does not fail after actual experience, now, these Brazilians already have a spectrum in their hearts: the power system and comfort have reached the average level of European and American cars. At the same time, the cars produced by Huaxia have higher comfort configuration, and the overall appearance and interior design are also more fashionable. The performance of this car in the Brazilian market is absolutely not bad.

In addition to this Huateng Excelle, several other cars brought by Huaxia people are also very good. Take the Huateng Qinchuan QQ as an example. Although it is only a miniature car, the interior space is unbelievable. Big, even if there are 4 adult men and a child, there is absolutely no problem. Although the engine is a bit weak, it is only equipped with a 1.2-liter inline four-cylinder engine with only 76 horsepower, but the overall sense of acceleration is surprisingly good. Not bad, and the exterior and interior are very stylish, it should be very popular with young people and families with average economic conditions but want to buy a car, and the most exciting thing is that such a car with strong overall strength, It only costs $9000, really...

When they just learned about the price, everyone even wondered if they had read it wrong. How could it be so cheap?But when they knew that the retail price of this car in China was only more than 5000 US dollars, everyone was speechless...

At the same time, everyone's eyes became brighter: Now, they are sure of one thing, that is, this guy Ibanis Rocha really introduced himself a good business that makes money.

Because of this, everyone began to communicate with each other and familiar friends...

"De Freitas, what do you think of this business? Can you do it?"

"I think so, how about you?"

"I think so too, but the investment of a car sales company is too large, and the risk of investing alone is a bit high. For example, let's cooperate?"

"Okay, I have no problem, but if possible, I suggest entering a few more partners."

The gentleman named De Freitas who was asked had no opinion, because he thought so too. Although he could spend such a large sum of money, the risk was undoubtedly too high. When encountering difficulties, I will not be able to spend the funds to deal with them. In this case, it is more appropriate to be conservative, even if the income is reduced because of this, it will be a big deal to expand the scale of the industry in the future.

"Bring in some more partners? I have no problem..."

…………

Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to communicate, Ibanis Rocha approached Zhang Qihang and asked Zhang Qihang in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang, it seems that everyone thinks highly of you."

Zhang Qihang smiled, and said to Ibanis Rocha: "The purpose of our business has always been to make money together, Mr. Rocha, you should be very clear about this."

"Yes, yes, I am very clear about this," Ibanis Rosa nodded again and again, and said sincerely: "Through these years of cooperation, I think our group is the best partner...Mr. Zhang, I think I want to ask, will our group really build a localized production plant in Brazil?"

"Of course," Zhang Qihang nodded without hesitation, "We attach great importance to the South American market. Mr. Rosa, I won't hide it from you. Our group's plan is to use Brazil as the bridgehead, and then gradually develop to the whole of South America. As long as we Once you gain a firm foothold in Brazil, you will naturally enter into South American countries such as Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay... Do you think it is cost-effective to ship such a huge market by simply transporting low-cost cars from China?"

"Of course it's not cost-effective," Ibanis Rocha said without hesitation, "This will greatly increase the cost."

"Yes, we think so too," Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "According to our own internal assessment, we believe that we must build the first localized production plant in South America in as short as three years or as long as five years. And if nothing else happens, this factory will be in Brazil..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang looked at Ibanis Rocha and said seriously: "Mr. Rocha, we have always cooperated very happily, and Huateng Group has always regarded you as the best partner and partner. My friend, so I can give you a promise now, in the next few years, as long as our cooperation does not go wrong, you will definitely be one of the local partners in the list in the future."

Ibanis Rosa understood instantly, and what he was waiting for was Zhang Qihang's words. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ibanis Rosa immediately nodded and said: "Mr. I am full of confidence in the future, and I will also prove to you that I am the best partner!"

What is "no big trouble"?
For example, everyone did not part ways, Ibanis Rocha did not betray, etc., but Ibanis Rocha didn't feel stupid, how could he do such a stupid thing?
And when he thought of becoming Huateng Motor's partner in Brazil, Ibanis Rocha's heart became hot.
