City: I, A World Car Overlord

Chapter 32

After receiving Lin Fan’s order, Pan Qiang took his team to the e-commerce department to extract a lot of data, and separately conducted surveys and data collections on various models in the domestic market.

In just three days, a detailed research report was sent to Lin Fan’s mailbox, including the pricing, characteristics, market response and sales of various levels of models.

Lin Fan immediately checked the document and suddenly found out.

Although it also produces cars, it is limited to the micro-surface area.

Although I have a little understanding of the automotive industry, it is not comprehensive enough.

After half an hour, Lin Fan frowned, even very annoyed.

Because he found a very hateful and helpless rule.

In the A-class car segment, foreign car companies, especially the Sun State-owned car company, are selling their engines while selling their own A-class cars at very low prices.

In the B-class car segment, which is the medium-sized car we often say, the length of the body is up to 4.8 meters, and the wheelbase is between 2.6 and 2.7 meters.

Although this standard is set by the proud Chinese, there are certain differences in the classification system of various countries, but the overall situation is similar.

From the data point of view, the B-class cars of foreign car companies are much more expensive than the B-class cars of domestic car companies.

As for the C-class luxury car, it goes without saying, it’s simply stealing money.

From the price system alone, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but a closer analysis can reveal it.

This is almost a tacit understanding reached by foreign car companies, and it is entirely Zhong’s conspiracy against domestic cars.

Why do you say that.

According to general rules, domestic auto companies started late. If they want to catch up, they must start with micro-face and A-class cars, and develop from low-end to high-end.

However, foreign car companies have made a big fuss on A-class cars.

The prices of their self-produced vehicles are sold at very low prices, even at the same level as domestically-produced vehicles.

But their A-class model engine assembly is not sold much lower than the B-class engine assembly.

This is very unreasonable.

Conspiracy can be used to assess this behavior.

This is almost a blatant and deliberate attempt by foreign auto companies to suppress the growth of domestic auto companies.

They sacrificed the huge profits in the A-segment car market, and then made huge profits on the B-segment car.

If domestic car companies want to survive in the A-class car market, the price must be lower than that of foreign cars before consumers will buy it.

In this case, the profit margin left to domestic car companies is very low, and the profit is gone, so how can there be money to do research?

Without money for research, how can you develop and grow?

If you can’t develop and grow, then you can only buy their engine assembly technology.

Such repetitions have formed a vicious circle, and the life gate of domestic car companies has been firmly grasped by them.

After clarifying these situations, Lin Fan slowly calmed down after a brief period of anger.

Holding a list in his hand, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but raise a faint smile.

“Since the profit margin of the B-segment car market is large enough, it is also a very good entry point for Baolong.”

“Hmph, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Ford… tremble, prepare to meet the great power of Baolong’s father.”

……

In the afternoon, all department managers and supervisors of Baolong Company were summoned, and they discussed quietly in the conference room.

According to previous rules, a company meeting of this size can be imagined with toes, and the boss must make a big move.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Fan walked in with a solemn expression. The managers could not help but straighten up, waiting for Lin Fan to speak.

Lin Fan looked at everyone present, and when he had some new faces, several of them were sitting next to Xu Lao.

These new faces are newly recruited company executives, and Xu Lao sits with Xu Lao by R&D personnel who do not know how to dig in.

Lin Fan’s company is growing. Some factories have been built in the high-tech industrial park. The new factory is about to start, so it is natural to reserve some management talents.

The research and development of the new model is about to start, of course, more research and development personnel are needed, so Boss Xu waved his hand, and the number one hundred and ten research and development personnel came.

Lin Fan looked at the growing company team and felt that he should do something higher.

For the country and the people, he thinks he is not so noble, but there are some bottom lines that he must stick to.

With a gesture, Chen Huiyi got up and distributed the materials prepared in advance one by one.

Lin Fan said in a deep voice: “Some time ago, we successfully manufactured Baolong electric MPV, which was recognized by the market and the sales volume was very high.”

“At that time, I was thinking that it would be great to make money after having the technology with independent intellectual property rights. I just wanted to make more money.”

“So, I did not hesitate to set my sights on the more profitable C-class luxury car market, and have been working hard for it.”

The senior staff present, especially the old employees, nodded their heads. In the past few months, not only the company has made a lot of money, but their wages have also increased. Of course, they want the company to make more money.

After a pause, Lin Fan continued: “What you hold in your hands is the market research that Manager Pan has done these days. I will make a brief summary.”

“I found a problem that made me very angry, that is, the price barriers of foreign car companies. They suppressed us in the A-segment car market, and then they harvested us in the B-segment car market. In the C-segment car market, it is almost Grab money…”.
