Chapter 823 Everyone Falls In Love
Your Excellency the Consul also told Zhang Qihang that I had to report such a big event to my superiors, and said that there is such a thing, and the leader will see if it is appropriate for us to do this...

Zhang Qihang also expressed his understanding, but what Zhang Qihang didn't expect was that a few days later, a comrade who claimed to be the country's representative office to the United Nations called Zhang Qihang...

Zhang Qihang was a little confused, and asked subconsciously: "You said you were from the Huaxia Representative Office to the United Nations? How did you prove your identity? How did you know my contact information?"

The other party obviously didn't expect Zhang Qihang to ask such a question, and after a moment of stupefaction, he said: "Your contact information was told by Consul Li of the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles. As for how I can prove myself... this is also simple, my name is Qiu Guofeng, you work in the office of the representative office, you can write down this phone number, contact any embassy or consulate in our country in the United States, and ask them to confirm whether this number is the phone number of the office of Huaxia's representative office in the United Nations. There is no such a person as Qiu Guofeng.

If you are still worried about Comrade Zhang Qihang, you can also come to New York in person... In fact, we also welcome you to come in person... The address of our representative office is 35 East 350th Street in Manhattan. Consul Li of the Los Angeles Consulate General checked, he also knew. "

Ok……

Since the other party dared to say that, it is likely that they are comrades from the Huaxia Representative Office to the United Nations. They made it clear that they had an attitude of "you come", but Zhang Qihang's doubts in his heart continued to increase. Minus: "Okay, then leader Qiu, you are calling me..."

"It's like this," Qiu Guofeng explained: "This morning, Consul Li of the Los Angeles Consulate General reported to Ambassador Kang of our country's embassy in the United States that your group is going to donate a batch of cars to their consulate general. It happened that Ambassador Kang was at our representative office at that time..."

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang's heart suddenly went "thumb...": What's the matter?The country's representative office to the United Nations also wants to fight the "autumn wind" of Huateng Industrial Group?
If this is the case, then it is really troublesome. It’s not right to refuse it yourself, and it’s even worse if you don’t refuse it-if you respond to your request, what should you do if you come to another unit or department to fight the autumn wind?
Just when Zhang Qihang became nervous, Qiu Guofeng went on to say: "The leaders of our representative office heard from Consul Li that the car you are going to donate to their consulate general is a car developed and produced by your Huateng Industrial Group. , I want to ask, is this really the case?"

"This one……"

Without knowing exactly what Qiu Guofeng meant, Zhang Qihang could only say cautiously: "Leader, let me tell you in a matter-of-fact manner, our car is indeed designed and manufactured by ourselves, but the engine is from a Honda Motor. The technology exchanged over there, so it is not entirely correct to say that this car is 100% independently developed and manufactured by us..."

Qiu Guofeng interrupted Zhang Qihang, and asked in amazement: "What did you say? You said that the engine on your car is the engine technology you exchanged from Honda? And the engine is produced by you yourself? What the hell is this?" What's going on, can you explain in detail?"

This situation greatly exceeded Qiu Guofeng's expectations!

There are some things that Zhang Qihang doesn't know, but then again, where is Huaxia's representative office in the United Nations?How could it be possible to decide to contact Huateng Industrial Group just because of what Consul Li said?

Before Qiu Guofeng called Zhang Qihang, it meant that he had already collected relevant information about Huateng Industrial Group through various channels. The province is the root of a state-owned enterprise, and Zhang Qihang is his comrade, so this call can't be made here at all!
But even so, due to the rush of time, the work of the representative office is somewhat inadequate. For example, although Qiu Guofeng knows that the Sylphy sedan is designed and produced by Huateng Industrial Group itself, he knows that the domestic automobile industry technology field They are far behind the world's advanced level, and they take it for granted that they bought the engine of the Sylphy sedan from the latter manufacturer from other channels, but now, Zhang Qihang actually said that their engine is a Honda engine, which made Qiu Guofeng very angry. To be surprised.

"Of course no problem," Zhang Qihang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: With this buffer of time, he can think about what the representative office meant when he called him.Reining in his mind, Zhang Qihang wrote: "That's what happened. I designed an automatic gearbox with a parallel shaft structure before, and applied for international and domestic patents. It just so happened. Due to the limited supply of gearboxes for Honda Motor, I took a fancy to my gearbox and wanted to introduce my patent for this gearbox.

As for me, I took this opportunity to make a deal with Honda in the form of technology exchange, and exchanged my design patent for the full set of technologies of Honda's F-series engines.

So the engine on the Sylphy sedan produced by our group is indeed produced by our group itself and obtained legally through technology exchange, but it can also be considered as a Honda engine without the Honda logo..."

What Zhang Qihang said was simple, but Qiu Guofeng took a few deep breaths when he heard it: Zhang Qihang designed an automatic transmission, not only applied for international and domestic patents, but also used this design to compete with Honda. exchange? !

Why does this matter sound like a fairy tale to me?
But the shock is the shock. Qiu Guofeng knows better that Zhang Qihang is unlikely to lie about this kind of matter. In this way, it means that the Sylphy sedan, which is very popular in China and is very popular among consumers, has a very high domestic price. Huateng Industrial Group can even produce the engine and gearbox of this car?
Thinking of this, Qiu Guofeng's heart became hot, and he couldn't help saying: "This is really... unbelievable."

Qiu Guofeng was just feeling emotional for a while, but Zhang Qihang misunderstood the meaning, thinking that Qiu Guofeng didn't believe what he said, but his words were actually a tactful expression "You're bragging!", and quickly explained: "Leader, I'm not talking nonsense, the technical exchange between our group and Honda Motor has received special instructions from our province, and there are records of the talks throughout the process, and these things are also recorded at the Ministry of Machinery Industry."

How could Qiu Guofeng fail to understand what Zhang Qihang meant?He repeatedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, comrade Zhang Qihang, you misunderstood me. I'm not suspicious of you, but just a little... Well, that's the case. You should also know that our country's automobile industry is not very developed, so these Over the past few years, the official vehicles of our country's embassies and consulates abroad have generally been purchased locally in the country where they are located, instead of bringing cars from their own countries like those countries with developed automobile industries."

Zhang Qihang nodded: "Yes, I know."

It may seem like a waste of money to bring a car from your own country, but it is actually a kind of cultural confidence, and it is also a self-confidence and promotion of your own auto industry: the US ambassador to China drives a Cadillac Fleetwood, and the German ambassador to China The car of Dongying’s ambassador to China was a Toyota Crown in the early years, but it was later replaced by a Toyota Century...

And what about our country?

In the early years, the automobile industry was not developed enough. Although it was possible to manufacture cars, the quality and reliability were not satisfactory. The frequent quality problems are also ridiculed, but it is better to buy a car directly at the embassy or consulate.

In the mid-80s and now, although the domestic automobile industry has achieved considerable development, look at the cars that can be produced in China now, such as SAIC Volkswagen Santana, SAIC Volkswagen Santana 2000, FAW Volkswagen Jetta, Shenlong Fukang, FAW Xiali...

None of them are produced by ourselves, nor are they our own brands, so why take them out?Promote it for others?

Anyway, we are also one of the five permanent members, can we afford to lose this person?

Therefore, it is better to continue to buy a car locally.

As an employee of the domestic automobile industry, Zhang Qihang naturally understood the meaning of Qiu Guofeng's words, and after thinking about them, Zhang Qihang couldn't help but start to get excited...

Qiu Guofeng smiled slightly, and continued: "Before we didn't want to bring cars from China, because we didn't want to help other countries' brands to promote, and it didn't match our national image, but since the development of our country's automobile industry in the past few years The speed is so fast that it has already been able to manufacture a car with a world-class level, and the leaders are also very happy. They very much hope that the cars produced by us Chinese can be used abroad.

So, Comrade Zhang Qihang, can you send me a copy of your Sylphy sedan, so I can see if it is suitable for our representative office's official car? "

It turned out that I didn't intend to white P...

After Zhang Qihang breathed a sigh of relief, he was not only a little embarrassed: "Leader, I understand what you mean, but our car... can only be regarded as a compact A-class car. It must be a C-class car like the Audi 100, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Qiu Guofeng on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Qihang was terrified when he heard the merits: What do you mean by that laughter?
Just laughing, Qiu Guofeng said with a smile: "Comrade Zhang Qihang, you have misunderstood. I also understand the situation of your car. I still know the basic situation." Of course, I understand that your car is not very suitable for diplomatic occasions. For high-end cars, the leader means that if your cars are more suitable in terms of quality, reliability, and aesthetics, they can be used as daily office and commuting cars for representative offices.

In addition, the leader also asked me to explain to you, Comrade Zhang Qihang, that we will not take advantage of your unit and will follow the normal procurement procedures. "

That's it!

Despite the initial embarrassment, Zhang Qihang finally understood what the country's representative office to the United Nations meant: they were willing to pay for it!
Although I don't know why the representative office is so enthusiastic about helping me, but it doesn't matter anymore, Zhang Qihang knows in his heart that facing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he doesn't seize it quickly, he will really be a super fool!Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Qihang immediately said: "Leader, do you have time? If you have time, I will visit you immediately with the information of our Sylphy sedan, and introduce this car of our group to you in detail. and our new vehicle development program."

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Qiu Guofeng smiled silently: No wonder this comrade Zhang Qihang was able to bring a semi-bankrupt company to the present level in such a short period of time, the reaction of his brain is so fast.He nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem. Come here. You can just call this number when you arrive."

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

For such a big event, the first thing Zhang Qihang has to do is to verify through the consulate.

Regardless of how logical what Qiu Guofeng said just now, Zhang Qihang put a question mark on all the previous conversations before verification.

However, when Zhang Qihang called Consul Li, before Zhang Qihang could speak, Consul Li smiled and said, "Comrade Zhang Qihang, right? I reckon you should have called too..."

With Consul Li's confirmation, there would be no problem. Zhang Qihang told Jiang He the good news immediately.

Zhang Qihang’s words had just begun, and Jiang He, who had already understood what was going on, was about to explode with excitement: “Our country’s United Nations representative office plans to use our Sylphy sedan as a daily work car and commuting car? God Oh my god! Mr. Zhang, is this true? Are you kidding me?"

It’s no wonder Jianghe is so excited. The more he works within the system, the more he understands the meaning of this message: If the Huateng Industrial Group’s Sylphy sedan is used for daily business and commuting in the Huaxia Representative Office to the United Nations, Although there is no way to help Huateng Industrial Group open up the North American automobile consumer market, how much of an improvement will this be for the brand of Huateng Automobile?

To put it bluntly, if the current Huateng Industrial Group can only support one A-class car brand, then when the Huaxia Consulate General in Los Angeles and the Huaxia Representative Office to the United Nations both choose the Sylphy sedan, with appropriate Propaganda, in the case of product quality, performance and configuration are not broken, Huateng brand cars have been able to bear a C-class car.

Zhang Qihang understood very well why Jiang He was so excited. He patted Jiang He on the shoulder to express his understanding: "How can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? I want you to guarantee that this matter is true, and I have verified with Consul Li. After that, the other party is indeed a comrade from our country's representative office to the United Nations... Lao Jiang, this is the country extending a hand to help us, we must seize this opportunity!"

Jiang He was so excited that he couldn't speak, but nodded desperately.
