The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 421: A layout full of profound meaning, but being ridiculed?
"Maybe now it's just that business cooperation is starting to become more frequent, but frequent business cooperation will inevitably lead to changes in other relationships."

"You must be vigilant enough in this regard."

"We must not let it happen that there is a major change in their relationship and we don't receive any information."

“By then, there will be many people in the country who will impeach us.”

It’s not that Woodcock is really that patriotic; he cares more about the position under his butt.

In recent years, his work in China has been highly recognized.

He has already started planning to transfer back to China to see if he can make further progress.

Of course, if it is a lateral transfer, he still feels more comfortable staying in China.

"Don't worry, I have arranged people to pay close attention to the changes in these matters."

"Whatever cooperation projects they are discussing, information should be sent to us soon."

"But I think we should also tell China and ask them to alert some people in the polar bear area to see if we can get some information from them."

"In this way, the two news channels can verify each other, and the information will be more accurate."

Smith also didn't want to take responsibility when the time came.

Therefore, we should report the matter early and put forward our own suggestions. Even if there are problems at that time, the domestic authorities cannot say that they did not work hard.

After working in the workplace for so many years, Smith still has a strong sense of self-protection.

"Well, this is a good suggestion. I will give feedback."

Woodcock naturally realized the benefits of Smith's proposal and had no reason to refuse it.

……

The situation on the polar bear side is turbulent and all parties are taking action.

Jiang Hui is also preparing to make some long-term plans in Shenzhen.

In the next few years, BMW Technology will inevitably have more and more contacts with polar bears.

Especially when Polar Bear is reorganized, there will be a lot of information and personnel coming in.

If you don't make some arrangements in advance, it's easy to get caught up in the chaos when the time comes.

"President Zhang, we currently don't have a Russian major in the School of Foreign Languages ​​at Shenzhen University. Have you considered adding a Russian major in the second half of this year?"

Although it is a bit late to mention adding Russian classes in the second half of the year.

But as long as you are willing to do it, you can definitely do it.

Nowadays, there is actually no shortage of Russian teachers in China. On the contrary, there is a state of oversupply of Russian teachers.

Especially in the Northeast, many schools choose to learn Russian as a foreign language.

The situation in later generations where almost the entire country was learning English was quite different.

In order to cultivate Russian talents, Jiang Hui went to Shenzhen University in person to visit the president Zhang Wei today.

"Mr. Jiang, the foreign language schools of various domestic universities are currently constantly adding English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Portuguese and other related majors."

"I haven't heard of any school adding a new Russian language major."

"I haven't heard of any foreign investment that Lingnan Province has attracted having anything to do with polar bears."

"If our school were to open a new Russian language major under these circumstances, I don't think anyone would sign up."

“Even if they sign up, job placement will be a big problem after students graduate.”

Zhang Wei obviously didn't understand why Jiang Hui suddenly talked to him about opening a Russian language major.

For colleges and universities, adding a new liberal arts major is actually not particularly difficult.

Especially for foreign language majors such as Russian, if there is no shortage of teachers, adding a new major is nothing more than a matter of procedure.

With the speed of development of Shenzhen University in recent years, there is no reason for the superiors not to approve the addition of new majors.

But Zhang Wei is a very responsible person and will not add any random majors.

"I also understand the situation you are talking about."

"Russian is no longer a popular major. Many people who studied Russian in middle school switched to studying English in college."

“However, our group has recently started to expand its business in Polar Bear, and we expect that the demand for Russian-speaking talents will be very strong in the future.”

“So we want to cooperate with Shenzhen University and Capital University of Technology Shenzhen Branch to open a Russian language class.”

"Of course, I also fully understand Principal Zhang's responsible attitude in considering students' job placement."

"In order to solve this problem, these Russian classes can be set up as BMW Group's directional training classes."

"In the next five years, we want to open two commissioned classes each year, with 30 students in each class, for a total of 60 people."

"After five years, whether to continue to develop in the form of commissioned training classes or other methods, both parties can negotiate separately."

Jiang Hui came prepared today and knew what Zhang Wei would be concerned about, so he immediately came up with a solution.

The idea of ​​targeted training is not new.

Although there is no precedent for targeted training by foreign-funded enterprises such as BMW Group.

However, considering the huge influence of BMW Group in export earnings, Zhang Wei does not think this is a problem.

The education department of Lingnan Province will definitely support the BMW Group in expanding its polar bear business.

"If it's a targeted Russian language class, then there will definitely be no problem."

"With the scale of the BMW Group, it is not stressful to recruit 60 Russian language major students every year."

Zhang Wei felt relieved after hearing what Jiang Hui said.

If it is targeted training, things will be easier.

By then, these students will not have to worry even if they are unable to work in their majors.

Anyway, the BMW Group is a large company with many positions available.

After settling with Shenzhen University, Jiang Hui had no problem communicating with the Shenzhen Branch of Capital University of Technology.

Many of the professors there are old acquaintances of Jiang Hui.

Not to mention Zhu Jiansheng's connections, just relying on Jiang Hui's own influence, he could have gotten this training class done.

At most, the BMW Group would donate some funds and materials to the two schools so that they can better run the commissioned training classes.

So very quickly, these two things were officially finalized.

However, certainly not everyone can understand Jiang Hui's approach.

"Leader, Shenzhen University and Capital University of Technology Shenzhen Branch have officially obtained permission to add a new Russian language major."

"Both universities will simultaneously offer two BMW Group-specific Russian language training classes."

"I asked around and found out that President Jiang personally communicated with the two universities about this matter."

"The background should be that BMW Group has begun to enter the polar bear market and is preparing to sell Land Rover cars to polar bears."

Yao Yiming reported the information he had obtained to Liu Tianwu.

This matter is not a big deal, but it is quite strange.

Yao Yiming himself was a little confused.

But for him, it’s okay if he doesn’t understand something, as long as he reports it in time.

"In order to expand the polar bear market, we specially organized a Russian language training class and directly cooperated with two universities."

“This matter seems a bit weird.”

"Before Land Rover entered the Middle East and European markets, I didn't see Mr. Jiang looking for universities to cooperate with to open other targeted language training courses."

"Besides, if you want Russian-speaking talent, it's actually relatively easy to recruit."

"Given the influence of the BMW Group in China, many people are willing to join."

After years of development, BMW Group still has a very high reputation in China.

China TV has various related advertisements all year round and needs to recruit a large number of employees every year.

The key is that their treatment is famously good.

Even in Shenzhen, where wages and benefits are generally much better than in the mainland, BMW Group's treatment is top-tier.

"I find it strange too, but Mr. Jiang must have his own special considerations for doing this."

"I'll find a chance to see if I can find out more about the situation."

After Yao Yiming said this, Liu Tianwu immediately waved his hand and said, "You don't have to ask about this matter. I can ask Mr. Jiang when I have the chance."

"But this isn't a big deal. With the strength of the BMW Group, it's normal to open a few more special training classes."

"To some extent, the targeted training classes can reduce the burden on colleges and universities."

"Otherwise, the students in their normal classes will also try their best to work for BMW Group after graduation."

Liu Tianwu is fully aware of the appeal of the BMW Group.

In some universities in the mainland, many people's first choice after graduation is to go to local large state-owned enterprises, and then to government agencies.

But in Lingnan Province, for most college graduates, the first choice is definitely to go to the BMW Group.

One year's income at BMW Group is equivalent to several years' income in many places in the mainland.

The key is that there are still many opportunities to go abroad, and the salary will be higher at that time.

……

"Boss Ji, isn't your youngest son taking the college entrance examination this year?"

"I suggest that he consider the Russian language major at Shenzhen University. There should be another chance for supplementary admission for this major."

"Compared with the scores of other key universities, Shenzhen University's admission scores have never been particularly high."

"For example, the Russian language class that was newly opened this year is a class commissioned by our group. Many people probably don't know the situation and didn't sign up, or they didn't dare to sign up."

Chen Chenxing and Ji Hua are also old acquaintances.

He understands many of Jiang Hui's strategies more thoroughly than most people.

In his opinion, as long as he could study Russian at Shenzhen University, he would definitely be able to join the group in the future.

And they don't go to the production line to work as workers, but go directly to more popular departments such as the sales department.

There won't be too many opportunities to work abroad by then.

This is definitely very attractive to many college students.

"To be honest, I did learn Russian before, but after the 1960s, the importance of Russian in our country has been declining."

"On the contrary, the popularity of English majors has been rising since 78."

"I wonder if studying English will allow me to enter the group smoothly?"

Ji Hua is now focusing all his attention on Nanshan Transmission, and he certainly doesn’t see as clearly as Chen Chenxing about some things regarding the group’s overall strategy.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with his understanding. College students are very popular nowadays. No matter what major a student graduates from, it is not difficult for them to enter the BMW Group.

Even if you are a college student, even if you have graduated from a junior college, if you want to join the BMW Group, there is almost always an application, regardless of your major.

"You're right. English majors are definitely popular, and you won't have any problems getting a job in our group."

"I just think that the Russian major at Shenzhen University should be a good opportunity to pick up a bargain this year."

"If your grades might not have allowed you to get into a college of this level, now it's possible."

"And because President Jiang pays special attention to the situation of the polar bears, there may be unexpected job benefits waiting for everyone after graduation."

After Chen Chenxing's explanation, Ji Hua finally understood.

He also has great confidence in Jiang Hui.

The Russian language class at Shenzhen University is a targeted training class that was personally promoted by Jiang Hui.

BMW Group must have a special need for talent in this area, which is why it is considering setting up such a class.

If you follow Jiang Hui's arrangements, you shouldn't suffer any loss.

After thinking it through, Ji Hua quickly made a decision.

"Bu Chen, I'll treat you to a graduation drink later."

"I will let my child enroll in the Russian language class at Shenzhen University."

Similar scenarios provide an extra opportunity for some people in the BMW Group.

Many people have informed the children of their relatives and friends that they can consider enrolling in the Russian language classes at Shenzhen University and Capital University of Technology, Shenzhen Branch.

To some extent, this can be considered a benefit from the information gap.

……

"Murphy, we heard that the BMW Group has begun to enter Polar Bear and has arranged for people to set up a branch."

"I wonder if they got some news and felt the time was ripe to enter the polar bear?"

Edward is now paying more and more attention to the BMW Group.

The sales of the models imported from the other party under OEM license are now very stable.

Compared with last year, this year's sales volume not only did not decrease, but also increased slightly.

Considering that the Buick G Series and Chevrolet X Series were both launched in the middle last year, but can be sold from the beginning to the end this year, the sales growth is obvious.

The two models combined contribute more than 20,000 sales per month in the domestic American market, and are expected to reach 30,000.

The key is that in the European market, the performance of these two cars is also very good.

The monthly sales volume has already exceeded 1 units.

And because sales are constantly being launched in new European countries, there is no problem in exceeding 2 vehicles per month.

In this way, if the two models introduced from Land Rover can contribute nearly 5 sales to General Motors every month in the future, it will be very impressive.

You know, in these two projects, apart from the publicity resources, GM's other investments are negligible.

In this case, the profit from selling the vehicle is almost pure profit.

Everyone would value hundreds of millions of dollars in net profit a year.

Within General Motors, Edward has arranged special personnel to track, inquire and collect various intelligence on the BMW Group.

To this end, their department also recruited several Chinese employees.

"I heard that the economic situation in the polar bears is not very good, and there are strong voices for reform within their ranks."

"When I was playing golf with people from the four major grain traders a few days ago, I heard that the polar bears have increased their grain trade cooperation with us this year."

"I haven't heard of any other major changes yet."

Murphy is naturally very concerned about the developments on the polar bear side. After all, that is also a market with sales volumes that are worth looking forward to.

However, this market is too closed, so it may not be difficult for General Motors to enter.

However, it is very difficult to perform well and make money in this market.

Murphy needs to be responsible to shareholders. If entering the polar bear market cannot bring profits to General Motors, there is no need to bother.

"If there are certain problems with the food supply of polar bears, then the performance of the automobile market will definitely not be good."

"It is really strange that BMW Group chose this time to enter the polar bear market on a large scale."

Edward obviously couldn't understand Jiang Hui's actions.

The more this happened, the more curious he became.

He didn't believe that Jiang Hui made the wrong decision this time and would suffer a great loss.

On the contrary, he always felt that he must have missed something key.

"Let's arrange for someone to keep an eye on it first."

"If the two Land Rover models perform well in the polar bear market, we can also consider introducing Buick and Chevrolet models into the polar bear market."

Murphy thought about it, but there was no better solution for the time being.

Then we can only collect more information and follow the development of the matter.

We'll have to adapt to the situation when the time comes.

……

"Director, BMW Group has started poaching people again recently."

"This time they targeted people in our factory who knew Russian."

"As long as they can speak Russian fluently, whether they are workers on the production line, personnel in various management departments, or personnel in the technical and R&D fields, they are wanted."

"This situation is very strange."

In the FAW factory director's office, Zhao Guangming was telling Geng Weidong about the latest situation with a puzzled look on his face.

In recent years, many people from FAW have gone to Shenzhen and joined the BMW Group.

However, after several major automobile manufacturers protested to the Ministry of First Machine Industry, BMW Group has restrained its poaching efforts a little.

Poaching is an occasional act and there are rarely large-scale operations.

Now suddenly dozens of people have been poached, so FAW is naturally a little anxious.

"You must know Russian. That means BMW Group has some kind of cooperation with Polar Bear, or is it preparing to enter the Polar Bear market on a large scale?"

Geng Weidong didn't even need to think too much to guess the meaning behind this move by BMW Group.

Judging from this poaching move, it seems that the BMW Group has no intention of concealing its motives.

Otherwise, why would proficiency in Russian be considered the most basic requirement?

"Polar Bear's several automobile manufacturing plants have decent strength and scale, but they are not much better than the current performance of the BMW Group."

“So I think the BMW Group probably doesn’t think highly of the cooperation with the other party.”

"Unless after this cooperation, BMW Group's models can smoothly enter their market."

Zhao Guangming gave his own judgment with certainty.

The situation is a bit weird, and we can only guess based on the current information.

"The people of Mohe should be more aware of the situation with the polar bears."

"There should be quite a few employees from Mohe in our factory. You can ask them to call their hometown and see if they can get some news about polar bears."

"At the same time, we will also ask the Beijing Office to pay attention to news related to polar bears and report to the headquarters in a timely manner."

Without much information to refer to, Geng Weidong had no way to make any further judgments.

FAW has now established Hongqi BMW in a joint venture with BMW Group, and Geng Weidong is full of expectations for the development of the joint venture.

Therefore, he is very concerned about any movement related to the BMW Group.

After all, these things may affect the development of Hongqi BMW Automobile Company.

"I understand. I'll try to find out more about this matter."

"But can we also consider communicating directly with Mr. Jiang over the phone? Maybe he can tell us the purpose directly?"

It was obvious that Zhao Guangming wanted Geng Weidong to make the call.

Although FAW has a high administrative level, Geng Weidong is the only one in the entire factory who can have an equal dialogue with Jiang Hui.

Everyone else feels inferior.

"Well, I just wanted to ask Mr. Jiang about the design progress of Hongqi BMW's first sedan."

"When the time comes, we can find out what happened behind the scenes."

"But he may not necessarily tell us the truth."

Although the two parties are partners, they are also competitors to a certain extent.

Geng Weidong did not expect Jiang Hui to tell him everything about the BMW Group.

……

While all parties were discussing the movements of BMW, Chen Chenxing was also collecting various information from relevant parties in order to determine whether the group's entry into the polar bear market was already known to everyone.

"Boss Jiang, it seems that many people now know that we have established a branch in Polar Bear."

"By then, whatever we do in the polar bear market won't be so conspicuous."

As Jiang Hui's direct confidant, Chen Chenxing basically knows what the group wants to do in Polar Bear in the future.

As the person in charge of sales, Chen Chenxing will definitely have to take some actions in the future to cover up the related operations.

Otherwise, the fact that BMW Group continues to borrow money from Polar Bear to buy equipment and raw materials will easily attract a lot of attention.

This definitely does not meet Jiang Hui's expectations.

"If someone asks our employees about this, we can all say that our group attaches great importance to the development of the international market."

"Currently, relevant models have entered the North American, European, Middle Eastern and African markets for sale."

"Polar bears are such a big market, we don't want to give up."

"As for whether other people believe it or not, that's not the point."

"Of course, your sales department should not be unable to sell any cars at that time. If that happens, the show will not be able to continue."

Jiang Hui did all this in order to gain additional benefits when Polar Bear was reorganized.

At that time, it will definitely be an important opportunity for the BMW Group to transform from a relatively single automobile group into a comprehensive industrial group.

Whether it is the equipment industry or the raw materials field, Polar Bear still has its own accumulation.

It would not be surprising if BMW Group could take this opportunity to get involved in some military industries.
