Hong Kong Film: Starting Undercover from the Five Tigers!

"I sent people to discuss this with several foreign car companies some time ago."

"After negotiations, they were willing to sell a large number of used cars at low prices, and were also willing to provide or sell a lot of auto parts to Dongxing."

"However, these companies charge very high prices for auto parts or automotive technology."

"This is a data sheet prepared by Tianhai Group after negotiations. Mr. Liu, please take a look."

As Song Shichang spoke, he handed a document to Liu Wenhao.

Chapter 389 Excessive Conditions for the Cooperation Project!

This time, Song Shichang convened a board meeting of Tianhai Group.

Introducing Liu Wenhao to the other directors and shareholders of Tianhai Group is a minor matter.

More importantly, the matter concerning Liu Wenhao's car business also involves the affairs of Tianhai Group itself.

Liu Wenhao is Song Shichang's benefactor, and now Liu Wenhao is also a shareholder of Tianhai Group.

Song Shichang would certainly not refuse Liu Wenhao's request.

During this period, Song Shichang has been negotiating with some well-known foreign car companies.

The negotiations have now reached a conclusion, but a formal cooperation agreement has not yet been reached with these well-known foreign car companies.

Song Shichang decided to inform Liu Wenhao of the results of the negotiations and the requirements of the well-known foreign car companies regarding cooperation.

Then, Song Shichang pushed two of the several documents in front of him toward Liu Wenhao.

Both documents contain the conditions and requirements put forward by several foreign car companies regarding their cooperation with Dongxing.

These conditions and requirements are nothing to Tianhai Group.

But Song Shichang would not make an absolute decision for Liu Wenhao.

This is one of the reasons why Song Shichang invited Liu Wenhao to attend the Tianhai Group shareholders' meeting.

Liu Wenhao took the document from Song Shichang, opened it, and read it carefully.

According to the contents of the document.

Liu Wenhao also understood what the "minor problem" Song Shichang was referring to was.

After negotiations between Song Shichang and several well-known foreign automobile companies, these companies expressed their willingness to cooperate with Dongxing.

The first is a partnership in the used car business.

These car companies all have their own independent car brands and are not interested in the used car business.

However, cars eventually become obsolete, and the problem of leaving those cars that are still in use but no one using them standing there has always been a headache for these car companies.

Now that Dongxing is willing to take over all the used cars in their company's garage, these car companies are naturally very happy and have agreed to sell all their used cars to Dongxing at a very low price.

Regarding other cooperative projects, these car companies also indicated that they could sell auto parts to Dongxing, but the price would be 5% higher.

Several other car companies were also willing to provide Dongxing with car design and various aspects of automotive technology.

However, this price represents 20% of Dongxing Motors' business profit.

Especially in the field of automotive engine technology, the price has increased by 50%!

Even Tianhai Group wouldn't easily agree to such a price.

Song Shichang also understood that Liu Wenhao would not easily agree.

"These car companies are really asking for the moon."

As Liu Wenhao spoke, he slowly put down the documents in his hand.

"Indeed, the price is very high."

"However, these are world-renowned car companies, and cooperating with them will be of great help to you, Mr. Liu, in establishing your own car brand."

"However, the final decision rests with you, Mr. Liu."

Upon hearing Liu Wenhao's words, Song Shichang slowly nodded.

"I have no problem with the used car cooperation project; the price is completely acceptable to Tung Sing."

"The technology supply and sales prices for other automotive parts are also acceptable to Tung Sing, even though they are higher than the price of one in a hundred people."

“Even after accounting for a range of costs and expenses, this price is reasonable.”

"However, Dongxing will not agree to the price of the engine."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenhao narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint in them, and said calmly.

"Mr. Liu, I understand what you mean."

"My idea is to create my own car brand, starting with the exterior and interior design of the cars."

“If Mr. Liu does not have talent in this area, I’m afraid you’ll have no choice but to cooperate with these car companies.”

Upon hearing Liu Wenhao's words, Song Shichang thought for a moment and then spoke.

Chapter 390 Asking for an exorbitant price!

According to the document, these well-known foreign companies have all agreed to cooperate with Dongxing.

However, Liu Wenhao was very dissatisfied with some of the terms of the cooperation.

It seems that these foreign companies do indeed want to help Liu Wenhao and Dongxing successfully establish its own car brand.

However, in reality, they intended to obtain even greater profits from Dongxing.

Therefore, in some aspects, the prices of certain items have increased significantly by these well-known car companies.

This would effectively reduce Dongxing's profits and revenue.

These well-known companies even brought up some unnecessary issues.

Liu Wenhao would certainly not agree to these things.

Next, Liu Wenhao discussed a potential collaboration in the automotive business with Song Shichang.

"Mr. Liu, if it weren't for the cooperation with these foreign car companies..."

"If you want to create your own car brand, it will probably be very difficult!"

"Moreover, judging from the demands of these foreign car companies, if Dongxing does not agree, they might suppress Dongxing's car business in terms of its automotive business."

"Moreover, due to certain circumstances, Tianhai Group has terminated its cooperation projects with these foreign car companies. In this regard, Tianhai Group can no longer provide you with much assistance, Mr. Liu."

Liu Wenhao understood Song Shichang's thoughts.

Liu Wenhao understood that Song Shichang was also giving him advice.

However, Liu Wenhao already had his own plans and ideas in mind.

For Liu Wenhao, who possesses master-level automotive design skills, exterior and interior design are not problems at all.

This option can be completely rejected.

Regarding automobile manufacturing, Liu Wenhao possesses a complete set of blueprints for automobile manufacturing plants.

Similarly, we do not need the help of these well-known foreign car companies.

This will greatly reduce the cost of cooperation.

Regarding the prices of other auto parts and technical specifications, Liu Wenhao and Dongxing were able to accept them.

Although the price is one percent higher, it is reasonable considering all the fees and costs involved.

"Mr. Song, I might as well tell you."

"In terms of car design, whether it is the exterior or the interior, Tung Sing can do it all by itself, so Tung Sing will not agree to this clause."

"In addition, in the field of automobile manufacturing, Dongxing has now completely mastered the construction of automobile manufacturing plants, and it does not need these automobile companies to provide technology or paid assistance."

Liu Wenhao looked at Song Shichang and slowly spoke.

"I see. It seems Mr. Liu has put in a lot of effort to establish his car brand."

"So, in that case, the only problem left is the car engine."

Upon hearing Liu Wenhao's words, Song Shichang's eyes showed surprise, but he did not ask any further questions.

The car engine is the core of a car.

It's also a big problem.

If you want to establish your own car brand, you need to overcome the engine problem.

However, these foreign car companies are asking for too high a price, which Liu Wenhao will not agree to.

"The engine is the core of a car."

"But Dongxing will not agree to a 50% price increase."

Liu Wenhao picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

A 50% price increase means that Tung Sing will have to pay half the cost.

Dongxing's car business is still in its early stages, and such high costs are not conducive to its future development.

"A 50 percent price increase is indeed unreasonable."

"However, in that case, Mr. Liu, your idea of ​​establishing an independent car brand will probably have to be postponed again."

Song Shichang understood Liu Wenhao's meaning perfectly.

Chapter 391 What you want comes to you!

The terms of cooperation between these foreign car companies.

This fully demonstrates their greed.

No one would easily agree to a 50% price increase.

Liu Wenhao looked at Song Shichang, picked up his water glass, and took a sip.

The car engine is the core of the entire car.

If Liu Wenhao wants to create his own car brand, the first thing he needs to do is produce independent car engines.

"Mr. Liu, although these foreign car companies have very high prices for engines!"

"But if you want to develop the car business, there's no other way."

“If you refuse, it may be detrimental to your car business, Mr. Liu.”

Song Shichang said slowly.

Although Tianhai Group has not made much progress in the automotive industry.

However, Song Shichang also understood that he wanted to create his own car brand.

While car design is one aspect, the most important aspect is the car engine.

If you buy engines from other car companies, the cars produced will not be considered as your own truly created and independently manufactured brand.

Moreover, Song Shichang also knew that Liu Wenhao's car brand would need to rely on imports and purchase engines from other car companies at that time.

Then, Liu Wenhao's car company will be led by the nose by other car companies.

It's even possible that other car companies will continue to raise prices and make more demands on Liu Wenhao and Dongxing.

Liu Wenhao was naturally aware of this as well.

This is one of the reasons why Liu Wenhao would not agree to the conditions imposed on these foreign car companies regarding engines.

"It doesn't matter."

"The profits from all of Tung Sing's businesses are currently more than enough to support the development of the Tung Sing organization."

"We've waited so long for the development of our own car brand, we don't mind waiting a little longer."

“Everything will work out when the time comes.”

After Song Shichang finished speaking, Liu Wenhao smiled slightly.

"Makes sense."
