Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1193 Final Arrangement 4
"But the Guzhili and Lada cars produced by the Volga Automobile Factory are indeed out of date. They can no longer meet the aesthetics and needs of modern people. We can stop producing them. I told you before that I have a BMW automobile factory in China. When the time comes, the two automobile factories will cooperate to produce some low-priced models of Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Chevrolet, and Ford. This is also a good selling point."

Arov pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He had now opened up all the international channels for transporting cars, and the biggest factor restricting his purchase of cars was that car manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW did not give him too many car quotas. It was really difficult for a good cook to cook without rice. You know, these car manufacturers have always been very cautious about the manufacturing plans of luxury cars.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Arov's mind, and he blurted out: "Then can we cooperate with the BMW car factory and build a car factory in Russia? After all, Russia's heavy industry is still very good."

Build a joint venture car factory in Mao?

Jiang Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This was something he had not expected. Before, he had thought of letting his own domestic automobile factory design a car for them and produce it themselves. However, after Arov said this, this really made sense.

Also, he had never heard of several automobile factories cooperating with Damao to build factories in his previous life, but he remembered that Ford, General Motors, and Changan had invested here. Moreover, when Changan entered Damao in 2018, Ford and General Motors just announced the closure of their factories in Damao.

But looking at the expectant look in Arov's eyes, Jiang Yan thought about it.

"I agree in principle, but you still need to communicate with the government about the specifics. If they agree, there will be no problem here. I will urge the flower growers to fully cooperate."

"Okay, I will follow your instructions. I will go find them later." Arov agreed readily.

Seeing Arov's impatient look, who could have thought that this was the man who almost caused the Volga Automobile Factory to go bankrupt, and today he is its biggest defender. It really is unpredictable.

It was a bit unreasonable for Jiang Yan to think this way. As a veteran who had been in the business world for so long, he might not be good at other things, but he was quite clear about the matter concerning cars.

He understood how much effort he had put in to open up this smuggling channel. These cars had an extra layer from the moment they were acquired, and another layer when they crossed the border, not to mention the manpower and material resources used. This was a huge amount of money, and even if it was distributed evenly on one car, it would still be a lot. Moreover, the supply of goods could never be guaranteed.

Now that he can manufacture cars, it would be great if he could really manufacture those mid-level cars, and the profit from this level would be guaranteed. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned.

"I don't care what you do. When the situation in Russia calms down, I must see the growth of profits of the Automobile Alliance. Don't think that I can't control you if you become independent." Jiang Yan said unhappily.

As a company that monopolizes all import channels for Russian cars and is ranked first in Russian car sales, the profit that the Automobile Alliance brings to him is less than 200 million Chinese yuan a month. Such a profit is no longer worthy of the Automobile Alliance's status in Russia, nor is it enough to satisfy his appetite.

Even if Arov went out independently, he still had a large number of shares there, so he could still suppress Arov.

Arov nodded yes repeatedly to Jiang Yan's request and agreed immediately.

After all, it was not difficult for him. The reason why the Auto Alliance’s profits had not risen before, apart from the situation, was that the Auto Alliance had invested a lot of money to open up import channels to Western Europe and the United States. Now that the import channels had been opened, this part of the money no longer needed to be invested.

And if the situation in Damao really develops as Jiang Yan expected, he is confident that he can double or even triple the profits of the Automobile Alliance.

If he fails to do so, he will be sorry for all the bullets, rockets, grenades and armor-piercing shells consumed in the fight to open these passages.

"As for your bank's affairs, you can do whatever you want, just copy others. But I warn you, pay when it's time to pay, and be nice to your employees." "Understood, boss, you will always be my boss." Arov nodded and agreed like a chicken eating rice.

"Okay, go aside! Cheng Linwen and Ye Lina, come in." As Jiang Yan put Arov's report aside and called Cheng Linwen and Ye Lina, the two of them instantly became nervous, knowing that Jiang Yan was going to tell them to talk about Hang Seng Bank next.

"To be honest, what you two wrote is really nothing new. As the current situation develops, no one will deposit money in Hang Seng Bank in half a year. This has already been judged. Anyone with a normal eye can see that." Jiang Yan lit a cigar and said to the two of them.

As soon as Jiang Yan said this, Cheng Linwen and Ye Lina broke out in cold sweat.

"But I do agree with your two ideas of not laying off employees and keeping Hang Seng Bank afloat. It is indeed as you said in your report that in any normal country, there will be no shortage of banks. This is the key point."

After hearing this, Cheng Linwen and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. While they felt a lot more relieved, they also felt a little ashamed.

In fact, they are pessimistic about the situation in Russia. The most important reason why they want to continue to run Hang Seng Bank is that if Hang Seng Bank disappears, what will they do? What will they do?
For Yelena, she does not want to go back to the Moscow City Government to be a clerk and rely on her husband. Her goal is not only to be able to stay with her husband, but also to let her husband see her abilities.

Cheng Linwen's idea was relatively simple. He could go back, but he also understood that every important position in the company had been filled, and there would be no place for him to sit if he returned. As for being someone else's assistant, he had never thought about it.

Having been the head of Hang Seng Bank for such a long time, Ye Lina was in charge of external affairs while he was in charge of internal affairs. He was responsible for all the specific operational work of the company, while Ye Lina was responsible for managing interpersonal relationships in various places. He probably found it difficult to get used to being someone else's deputy.

After all, not everyone has the courage to completely give up power.

More importantly, they have confidence in Jiang Yan. This is what is called leaning on a big tree for shade. With a boss like Jiang Yan who can directly participate in the formulation of Mao's economic policies, they can gain so many benefits.

So everything about Hang Seng Bank depends on Jiang Yan's thoughts.

Looking at the slightly blushing faces of Ye Lina and the other person, Jiang Yan chuckled in his heart. He probably guessed what the two were thinking.

But to be honest, not everyone can choose to continue to persevere when the business they are responsible for is facing losses. This requires great courage.

There are many corporate executives who, when the company's performance is declining and the stock price is plummeting, do not choose to invest money to increase their shareholdings to give everyone confidence and show due responsibility. Instead, when disaster strikes, they flee on their own and sell off their shares, making the company's situation worse.

Moreover, the most important purpose of holding this meeting was not to see what insights they could come up with.

In this regard, no one has more say than him, a reborn person. He wants to use this meeting to make everyone agree with him on what he wants and how they should do it. As long as they can do it according to their established goals, that's good enough.
