Chapter 24 Ford wants to take the lead

You can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep!

At this moment, Cao Yang was the one pretending to sleep.

Although Toyota has shown great sincerity, it will definitely have to delay.

"Director Cao, I live in the White Swan Hotel. If you have any new decisions, please feel free to contact me!"

Fukuichi Atsushi was very reluctant, but he had no choice.

"The price of one million US dollars is really sincere. Director Cao, you have to be content."

Fukuichi Atsoo didn't show any expression, but Dong Chun was getting emotional next to him.

However, Cao Yang didn't intend to spoil him.

Although Chuncheng Stamping is now a customer of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, if it weren't for him, Nanshan would already be a first-tier supplier of Chuncheng Volkswagen and Modu Volkswagen.

To a certain extent, Spring City Stamping is a competitor of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory.

If Dong Chun was just a pure introducer, Cao Yang could give him some face.

But he thought he was Party A and wanted to force Cao Yang to agree to Toyota's plan, which was too much.

Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is not a soft persimmon, nor does it intend to be one.

"Mr. Dong, when doing business, it's normal to shop around, right? When choosing a supplier, this OEM needs to find several companies to bid for. My design plan will have to wait for the people from General Motors and Ford to come up with it. Can you buy it at a higher price?"

"Otherwise, it would be disrespectful for people to come all the way here."

Cao Yang responded unceremoniously.

"Dong Sang, what Factory Director Cao said makes sense, so let's wait a little longer. I believe Toyota's bid must be the most sincere. If you feel it's not suitable, we can discuss it again."

Atsuo Fukuichi was afraid that Dong Chun would be a disservice to him, so he quickly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.

"Mr. Fukuichi, don't worry, I believe that both parties will have a pleasant cooperation."

Cao Yang then exchanged a few words with Fukuichi Atsushi, and then prepared to see him off.

At this time, Zeng Tingting answered a phone call and said: "Director, the people from Ford are at the gate of the factory."

"Huh? Isn't it scheduled for tomorrow?"

Cao Yang really didn't react.

Did I remember the time wrong?

"Yes, the appointment was originally for tomorrow, but the other party said they would arrive this morning and came directly from the airport."

Zeng Tingting's words made Fukuichi Atsushi feel the pressure immediately.

Ford Motor, which is one of the targets that Toyota Motor is chasing, has been the number two in the auto market for many years.

"Director Cao, I think it's okay to go back to the hotel. Do you mind if I stay and visit Nanshan Auto Parts Factory again?"

Atsoo Fukuichi, who was already ready to leave, immediately didn't want to leave.

Although it was impossible for him to stay in the conference room directly and observe the negotiations between Ford and Nanshan, leaving at this time did not make him feel at ease.

"No problem, Minister Cai, you can take Mr. Fukuichi to the site for a good tour."

It would be no harm to Cao Yang for Atsoo Fukuichi to stay, and he could even indirectly put pressure on Ford's people.

Naturally, he had no reason to object to this matter.

He even had to thank Fukuichi Atsushi for being willing to help him.

……

"Cao, although I have read the information and said that the designer of this pickup truck is very young, I have to say that your youth is beyond my imagination. I am looking forward to your future works."

Cao Yang personally went to the factory gate to welcome Metz and others from Ford Motor Company in.

Naturally, the two sides exchanged pleasantries, exchanged business cards, and introduced each other.

"After Mr. Mace joined Ford, you boldly used some elements of traditional Ford cars and promoted a design technique that blended retro and avant-garde. You completely changed the style of the new generation of Ford cars. Not only did you launch it when you were working at Volkswagen, After joining Ford, you have brought new vitality to some classic car series such as Mustang and Mercury. You are my idol."

In business, who doesn’t know how to brag about each other?

Sure enough, after listening to Cao Yang's words, Mesi's face became more smiley.

He has worked for Audi, BMW and Volkswagen before, but before joining Ford, his most amazing work was the Passat. Now that Cao Yang has mentioned it, it definitely scratched his itch.

Don't think that only Chinese people like to be flattered, foreigners are the same.

"I dare not be an idol!"

"When I was your age, I was still worrying about my graduation project at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, but now you not only manage a prosperous factory, but you can also design such a stunning car appearance. The future is limitless.”

When Metz met Cao Yang, he obviously learned from others some of the negotiation characteristics of the Chinese people.

It can be said that he is determined to win this pickup truck appearance picture!

He has a feeling that if this pickup truck is used as the next generation F150, it will definitely make the F150 the best-selling model in the United States.

There is no one of that kind.

"That car is just one of the models I designed. Although I am quite satisfied with it, it is actually not the most satisfactory."

Mace:? ? ?

Aren’t we still bragging about each other in business?

Why are you so immodest?

However, he liked this style of conversation.

He was actually a little unaccustomed to following the local customs.

Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that he is a designer and not engaged in purchasing or sales.

"Cao, after I saw the news about Yahoo, I flew over immediately. I think you should be able to feel Ford's sincerity."

"Frankly speaking, I want to use this pickup truck as the shape of the next-generation F150. What conditions do you have?"

Metz didn't go around in circles and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Metz, our Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is the world's best QCD nut plate supplier, and we will launch wheel bolts soon. How about we visit the site first?"

Cao Yang did not directly answer Metz's question.

I haven’t seen anyone from GM yet.

What's the hurry?

Besides, people from Toyota are visiting the site. If we take people from Ford to visit at this time, the picture will be very exciting.

"No problem, let's go visit the factory first."

Mace hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

We have already arrived at the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, and I don’t have a few minutes left.

General Edward is probably still suffering from jet lag in the hotel.

However, he did not expect that in addition to General Motors, there was another opponent who had already taken the lead.

So when entering the site, Cao Yang "unintentionally" pointed to a group of visitors not far away and said, "Sorry, people from Toyota Motor came over today to discuss some cooperation matters. In order to avoid overlapping of visit routes, we started from Start here.”

Mace immediately felt a thud in his heart, this matter was no longer that simple.
