Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 224 Frankfurt Auto Show 2

9:00 am on September 17, 1979, Frankfurt Exhibition Center, West Germany. As the world's largest auto show, the attraction of the Frankfurt Motor Show can be said to be irresistible to any automobile company.

Most of the world's outstanding brands and manufacturers came to participate in this auto show. Among them, German local companies Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz all launched new models. Heiyun Automobile is currently only a small manufacturer, and no one pays much attention to it.

Many companies believe that Bao Zixuan may have unique insights into electronic technology products. But the automobile industry is more testing the overall industrial level of a country. No one thinks that Heiyun can produce high-quality cars by just one company.

At present, more than 50% of Heiyun Auto Parts are outsourced products, which would threaten the interests of other auto giants. Bao Zixuan was worried that he would be strangled for parts and components. This is also the reason why Chinese companies in later generations have to be large and comprehensive. If you don't produce yourself, you may not be able to get parts supply at critical moments. The better your business is, the faster it will die.

When the exhibition just started, there were not many customers in the Heiyun Auto showroom. This has a lot to do with fame. Their current brand awareness is still very low. In the automotive industry, everyone recognizes the brand very much, but corporate customers like Heiyun, who have just entered the market, do not recognize it very much.

Bao Zixuan and John Chambers were chatting in the exhibition hall. Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "John, it seems that the location of the exhibition hall is still very important. Even if we spend more money next year, we must get a good location."

John Chambers: "Boss, I've actually thought about this issue too. But I guess it's difficult. The Frankfurt Auto Show favors local German companies, and even the American General Motors and Ford are not in a good position."

In fact, Bao Zixuan also knew about this problem, but he still wanted to fight for it. Otherwise, the employees will have no motivation at all. At least more people can come in from the front.

As the two people were talking, they saw buyers coming to the Heiyun exhibition hall one after another. Although the Heiyun exhibition hall is not very large this time, it still has a gimmick, that is, the most expensive car in this auto show is here. The advertisement has already been put out, and many people come here because of it.

When they saw the Black Cloud Knight XV, many people were shocked by the appearance of the car. It turns out that Heiyun can produce such a domineering car, and he has initial recognition of Heiyun's car capabilities. Especially European customers have very high requirements for vehicle safety performance. Seeing the bulletproof car Heiyun makes me want to know more about it.

This time, Heiyun Motors shipped two units of each model on display, and the Cavalier XV was quickly surrounded. Most of the employees of Xiangjiang Heiyun Automobile Company are Germans. They have a natural advantage in Germany and have no problem communicating with them.

Many Germans felt incredible when they saw the Cavalier XV. This car combines the lines of American cars, the interior and power of German cars, and the most important thing is that all the main raw materials come from the Soviet Union.

This car from Heiyun Automobile Company only serves as an assembly platform, but under the guidance of German engineers, there is no sense of disobedience. This enables the entire vehicle to meet German requirements for bulletproof vehicles in terms of its lines, power system, and safety features.

They also want to produce such a car, but they can't get titanium alloy. Currently, the main titanium alloys on the market, except for aircraft manufacturing and military production, are mostly used by Heiyun Group. Only Heiyun Group in the world can use titanium alloys to manufacture cars on a large scale, which is equivalent to a separate business. Customers soon placed orders for the Cavalier XV at the exhibition, especially those aristocrats who like cars. This is a car that can save lives at critical moments.

When many people came to see the Cavalier XV, they saw that Heiyun's other three cars were very beautiful and advanced in appearance. At least the appearance can attract customers, and many buyers began to contact the staff to introduce Heiyun cars to them.

When they heard that the Heiyun 1 Series car consumes only 4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, everyone looked at it with suspicion. After all, the most fuel-efficient Japanese cars now consume about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, and American cars generally consume more than 10 liters.

This was during the oil crisis, and all countries had a strong preference for cars with low fuel consumption. I saw the performance of the Heiyun 1 Series car in the video, and after understanding the working principle of the engine. We are all old people who have been engaged in the automobile industry for many years and are very familiar with the structure of automobiles. ,

Everyone understands after seeing the Heiyun hybrid engine technology. The automobile industry has ushered in new technological changes, which is a technology that has a major driving role in the automobile industry.

Now controlled by Heiyun Group, Bao Zixuan's strength is combined with hybrid technology. So in the automotive industry, Black Cloud is definitely a force that cannot be ignored, and can even change the existing structure of the automotive industry.

Knowing that Heiyun mastered hybrid power technology, the news spread all over the exhibition hall. Many automobile giants sent engineers to watch, causing the Heiyun exhibition hall to be overcrowded.

Seeing this situation, Heiyun's employees immediately became as motivated as chicken blood, and they all received every customer very seriously. Not only for customers, but also for the engineers and employees of the automobile company, Heiyun chooses to treat everyone equally.

From deserted in the morning to overcrowded in the afternoon. Heiyun Automobile Company has achieved a reversal and undergone a gorgeous transformation. In the end, Heiyun Exhibition Hall had to make a helpless move to limit the number of visitors, resulting in many real customers not entering the exhibition hall.

However, as everyone rushed to ask questions, many reporters came to the Heiyun exhibition hall. When we learned that the fuel consumption of the Heiyun 1 series car was only 4 liters per 100 kilometers, we all knew that there would be headlines in the newspapers tomorrow.

If Heiyun Auto can really achieve this effect, then their reports can resonate with the general public. Heiyun Auto failed to achieve the introduction effect, so it is also Heiyun Group that is embarrassed. When the time comes, I will write another article saying that I was deceived by Heiyun and just make Heiyun Motors a stink. They will not suffer no matter what, this is the reality.

In the end, the customers in the Heiyun exhibition hall did not leave until the exhibition closed. Although all the staff were very tired when we returned to the hotel, they were still able to persevere. After all, there was nothing to do in the morning, and everyone started getting busy in the afternoon.

Still in the Bao Zixuan room, John Chambers and Hector were reporting on the first day of the exhibition. In fact, Hector also knew that as Heiyun Motors became stronger and stronger, he would definitely be replaced as the general manager. After all, he is a senior technician and is not suitable for managers.

At that time, there was really no one in Heiyun Automobile Company who could take over, so he chose himself. Hector, who is relatively self-aware, has long wanted to tell Bao Zixuan that he would leave his management position and concentrate on being a technical worker. It's just that there is no chance and Heiyun Motors has a very low status in the entire group, so it's okay to make do for now.

Bao Zixuan also knows Hector's thoughts, but Xiangjiang Heiyun Automobile currently produces only 3 units per month. Rushing in other personnel would be detrimental to management, so Hector was appointed as the general manager of Xiangjiang Heiyun Motors.

Moreover, this exhibition specially asked him to bring people from Xiangjiang, so that these German grandfather workers could have a good rest and relax after the exhibition.

Hector: "Boss, today we have sold a total of 4 units of the Cavalier XV, and there are no less than 5 intended customers. It can be said that our car has taken the lead in the top European market.

Bao Zixuan really didn't expect it when he heard this. After all, Germany's own automobile industry ranks first in the world. Heiyun brought such an expensive car here just as a gimmick, but he didn't expect it to sell so many. It can be said that this is an unexpected surprise, something that I never dared to think of before.
