Coquettish Rebirth

Saab has never been a mainstream brand, and Saab's ability to maintain it is entirely due to its unique shape and design.At the same time, this is also the reason why Saab is difficult to develop. Car fans buy Saab because of its uniqueness, but reject Saab becoming mediocre, so it is difficult for Saab to be promoted to the public.It can be said that success is also unique, and failure is also unique.This situation is the same as Subaru, but Subaru is much more mediocre than before.

As for a company like Subaru, that’s also quite interesting. In some ways, it’s quite similar to Saab—both of them transformed from a manufacturer of military aircraft.What kind of company was this Subaru in the first place?It is the Nakajima Aircraft Company that manufactured fighter jets for the Japanese Fascist Army and Navy!Such a Nakajima Aircraft Company belongs to Fuji Heavy Industries. It was the same as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries during World War II. It was the largest heavy industry group of Japanese militarism.As a result, after World War II, Fuji Heavy Industries was liquidated.For example, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was better. Although it was liquidated in various ways, it still maintained the military industry after the war, and Fuji Heavy Industries basically left the military industry.

After the entire Fuji Heavy Industries was split into twelve companies, five of them were combined to form a new Fuji Heavy Industries, and such a new Fuji Heavy Industries was the predecessor of Subaru.In the 50s, Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry proposed its own national car plan, requiring a car that can take four people, carry 100 kilograms of luggage on shoelaces, and have a battery life of 1500 kilometers.Then Fuji Heavy Industries developed a car called Subaru [-]. Later, due to various reasons, this car project was forced to stop, but it was really helpful for Fuji Heavy Industries to transform into a professional car manufacturer and change its name to Subaru. .

Later, the Subaru brand was not as developed as Toyota, Honda and Nissan. This Subaru, like Saab, followed a niche and unique route.As for Subaru's route, that is full-time four-wheel drive, but at the same time, it does not pay so much attention to the control of complex road conditions, but mainly pays attention to the posture on ordinary roads.At the same time, Subaru's interior is also relatively low-end.The interior space of the car is not very large. Generally speaking, it is very non-mainstream, and it emphasizes a driving experience that is slanted.Later, after Subaru accepted Toyota's shareholding, it suddenly began to be controlled by Toyota and began to return to the mainstream.The first is to start developing a rear-drive car.Then the interior has also started to be upscale and not so simple, the interior space has also begun to increase, and naturally the sales volume has improved a lot.

In the past, Subaru was similar to technical nerds with performance control and rally racing, which was so extreme that people loved and hated it.It's a bit of a compromise to the market now.In order to survive, I was scolded by many former fans.And now the cars that sell better, the Forester, XV, Outback and other models are basically biased towards fuel efficiency, safety, durability, and versatility. They sell well in North America because there are many rainy and snowy weather there, so they are suitable for horizontal opposition. The combination of engine and four-wheel drive plays an advantage.Mitsubishi's cars back then were the same as Subaru's, with a unique personality, and even the two cars were often compared.But now, Mitsubishi is constantly being marginalized, and the sales volume is incomparable with Subaru!From such a point of view.Saab should really go the way of Subaru, but are Saab engineers and designers so easy to listen to their opinions?

Sure enough, this group of Saab engineers couldn't sit still.Just when Huaxia Motors began to discuss in detail with GM, and began to talk a little bit about what price was right, the engineers at Saab's Swedish headquarters and the employees in their factory united and ran to the door of their Swedish government to protest! "Mr. Jia, what should we do if they protested?" When Da Zhang hurriedly reported to Jia Hongjian, Jia Hongjian already knew the news, "Don't worry, let's find out why those people protested first." Taishan said in a tone that did not change his face when he collapsed in front of him.That's right.Jia Hongjian was very calm at this moment!For him, no matter how good Saab is, it is not necessary for Huaxia Automobile. If it is not possible, there is Volvo.If it doesn't work, there are other car companies that can buy it!Who said that Saab must be acquired?

Although Saab's technology will indeed be of great help to Huaxia Automobile, but without Zhang Butcher, would we have to eat hairy pigs?Who in this world can't live without it?Could it be that without Saab, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, Huaxia Automobile would not be able to develop?This is the so-called austerity without desires. When we don't have to be Saab, then Saab's resistance is not so shocking to us.Not so overwhelming.It's great, let's not buy Saab anymore, who is afraid of whom?

As for Jia Hongjian's attitude, Da Zhang of the negotiating team was greatly moved, and he immediately felt that his heart was at ease!Originally, after knowing about Saab's "uprising", this Dazhang suddenly felt like his heart was about to fly out!After all, he was in charge of such a negotiation, and now that such an accident happened suddenly, it could easily appear to be his fault!And if such an accident affects the negotiation process, he will be implicated if he doesn't take the blame!So he had to be nervous, but after seeing Jia Hongjian's calmness again, he immediately felt that he had a solid foundation in his heart, and immediately felt that the situation was calm!Immediately, he felt that although Jia Hongjian was young, he really had the demeanor of a boss and could really be the backbone of everyone!

After Dazhang made a quick investigation, he soon found out why these engineers and workers "revolted".It turned out that these engineers and workers saw an accountant entering the company to conduct an inventory a few days ago, and then found out that the buyer seemed to be from China, so they were a little unhappy.In the eyes of these Swedes, can the Chinese make cars?What car brands do the Chinese have?No!So from their point of view, it's like the eldest lady of a noble family is in trouble, and in the end, a poor, poor village boy who has nothing wants to come here to take advantage of it, and even wants to marry this eldest lady. Missy can be happy?Why do people feel that their own status is there, and how do they feel that no matter how poor they are, they will not be bought by the Chinese!

And although the Chinese are East Asian yellow races like the Japanese, the Chinese are not as good at making cars as the Japanese!If the Japanese came to buy it, maybe the Swedes would not say anything, but a Chinese Huaxia Automobile... a brand that I have never heard of came here to buy their Saab. This must be for their Saab technology!Maybe the idea of ​​these Chinese people is to disband the Swedish factory after they come here, and then transfer all kinds of Saab's technology away, and finally change their Saab brand, and paste them on their cheap cars made in China to pretend to be high-end Swedish cars Cars are all kinds of scams!This kind of thing can't be tolerated by any employee who has worked in Sabori for more than ten or even decades!People have feelings for the company!

"Mr. Jia, what shall we do?" Da Zhang hurriedly asked Jia Hongjian.For some reason, when Da Zhang asked this question, he subconsciously felt that Jia Hongjian must have some solution, that Jia Hongjian could handle everything!As expected, Jia Hongjian said calmly, "Since people have doubts, since they have problems, then let's go over and have an open and honest talk with them. I believe we can still communicate. Just talk from the bottom of your heart. The day after tomorrow, I’m flying to Sweden the day after tomorrow, and I’ll have a good talk with them then.”

"What? Mr. Jia, why don't you come in person? This... How about I come? You are always busy, so I asked you to come here... What's the use of us?" Da Zhang hurriedly wanted to help Jia Hong. Gradually share worries.What he said was right. If Jia Hongjian, the boss, had to come forward to handle everything, why did Jia Hongjian give him such a high-profile company?To put it bluntly, just find a few junior high school graduates, wouldn't they all be able to do Da Zhang's work? "It's okay, I just want to experience the charm of Saab's decades-old brand at close range, and I also want to see what Saab is like. Now that this is happening, I'll go there, so that It is also more sincere." Who knew Jia Hongjian said so.

After hearing what Jia Hongjian said, Da Zhang tried to persuade him several times, but it turned out that Jia Hongjian didn't listen to the persuasion at all, and acted as if he really wanted to talk to him in person.In this case, Da Zhang also hurriedly said hello to the team at GM, and then took Ding Haitao and other backbones of the China Auto negotiation team to book a plane ticket to Sweden!After all, Jia Hongjian and Mr. Jia are going to Sweden in person, so they must go as part-time workers, right?Can't Jia Hongjian have no errands around him after he arrives in Sweden?Let Jia Hongjian be so lonely in Sweden, do these migrant workers still want to do it?Even in case the Saab employees in Sweden acted aggressively, wouldn't Da Zhang and the others have to cover up Jia Hongjian's escape?Don't you want to keep Jia Hongjian safe?Otherwise, if they don't go, Jia Hongjian will have some troubles. How can Da Zhang and the others explain to the whole company?How to explain to Jia Hongjian's parents?

So the next day, the Huaxia Auto negotiation team in the United States hurriedly took several flights and flew to Sweden one after another!One of Dazhang's negotiating assistants was the first to fly over, hurriedly helped Jia Hongjian book the hotel where he was staying, and then contacted the local police, contacted the protesters at Sabo, and asked the other party to come out. The representative came back to have a detailed discussion with Jia Hongjian, and even the assistant had to book the venue for the detailed discussion in advance!Not to mention what Swedish and Chinese translators there are!
