King of Industry

  Chapter 262 Which is better, which is worse, has its own opinion

  The Ancheta factory, located in Campo Bernardo, less than 30 kilometers away from Sao Paulo, is the largest Volkswagen factory in Samba.

  At the same time, it is also the headquarters and development department of Volkswagen - Latin America.

  This company was established in 1957. It is the first manufacturing plant of Volkswagen in Latin America, and it is also the first Volkswagen manufacturing plant established overseas in the Volkswagen Group.

   Like the German factory in Wolfsburg, the car company has been continuously modernizing over time.

   As early as 1970, the millionth Volkswagen rolled off the assembly line at this factory.

   So far, nearly 3 million Volkswagen cars have been produced from this factory.

  The Ancheta factory covers an area of ​​more than 1 million square meters, which is equivalent to the area of ​​140 football fields, and has more than 15,000 workers. It produces Golf, Polo and other series of best-selling vehicles here.

  This Ancheta factory is the first stop of the Latin American automobile company that Mayor Huang and Zhao Guoyang will visit during their trip.

  After arriving at Di'er, Zhao Guoyang got out of the car after several big shots.

  Looking at the gigantic factory in front of him, Zhang Yufang beside him couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

   "Hehe, Mr. Zhang was also shocked by the scale of this factory, right?" Zhao Guoyang said with gestures.

   "Yes, yes, this factory seems to be much bigger than our Songqi Group in SJ City." Zhang Yufang couldn't help but replied repeatedly.

   "It's a lot, but after the construction of the No. 2 and No. 3 plants of SAIC Group, it will be hard to say." Zhao Guoyang said with a smile.

  Following several bigwigs into the factory, the senior management of Volkswagen-Latin America Company had already greeted them.

  Seeing the bearded man walking in the front, Zhao Guoyang was secretly amused.

   Judging from his appearance alone, this man is a typical Germanic man. He is very tall, even half a head taller than Zhao Guoyang, who is more than 1.8 meters tall.

  Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a full face of beard, it is easy to leave a deep impression on people.

  When the two parties shook hands, Teng Fei, the translator of Songqi Group, quickly introduced to Mayor Huang and the others: "Mayor Huang, this is the chairman and president of Volkswagen Latin America, Mr. Jeffries."

   "Mr. Jeffries, this is our Mayor Huang of SJ City..."

   Jeffries obviously did his homework beforehand. After Teng Fei's introduction, he exchanged greetings with Huang Zhigang, Mao Zhichun and other bigwigs in fairly pure Chinese.

  Of course, no matter how pure this person’s Chinese is, it’s just a few words like “Ni Hao Ni Hao!” “Welcome!”

   When it was Zhao Guoyang's turn, Teng Fei was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to introduce this so-called "special researcher".

   Seeing this guy standing there in a daze, Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly, and communicated with Jeffries directly.

   "Hi, Mr. Jeffries, I'm Zhao Guoyang, a 'special researcher' from Songqi Group, nice to meet you!"

   Zhao Guoyang's Germanic language is even higher than Teng Fei's in terms of fluency. Hearing this, President Jeffries was taken aback for a while.

   "Ah, 'Special Researcher' Zhao Guoyang? Hello, hello!" Jeffries asked, shaking Zhao Guoyang's hand vigorously.

   "You 'special researcher' is engaged in technology, Mr. Zhao?"

  Zhao Guoyang nodded lightly, with a calm smile on his face.

  After seeing him nodding, Jeffries was even happier, and praised again and again: "Great, there is a technician who understands Germanic, and our communication this time will be much more convenient."

   Zhao Guoyang heard the words, pointed to Teng Fei who hadn't recovered yet, and said: "Mr. Jeffries, don't worry, with Mr. Teng here, our communication will definitely not be a problem."

  After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Teng Fei's face looked a little better.

  He let out a "huh" and took the opportunity to introduce the other executives behind Jeffries to the leaders behind him.

  After some introductions, everyone finally got to know the people who came to greet them from Volkswagen Latin America.

  In addition to Chairman and President Jeffries, there are seven board members.

They are Fidelis in charge of Human Resources, Aton in charge of Product Development, Derek in charge of Sales and Marketing, Jonas in charge of Operations, Carlson in charge of Finance, Seth in charge of Purchasing, and Richard in charge of Quality Control Germany.

  Among them, except for Richard, who is in charge of quality control, who is from Samba, the other six board members are all Germanic.

   After introducing his colleagues, Jeffries made a "please" gesture to Huang Zhigang, inviting him and the representative members to enter the factory and start a tour.

   Seeing several bigwigs walking in front, Zhao Guoyang gradually slowed down and walked together with the members of Songqi Group.

  When Zhong Bo and Chen Bin saw this, they hurried away a few steps and walked in a row with Zhao Guoyang.

   "Researcher Zhao, Mr. Ayton who is in charge of product development, I know..." Chen Bin said.

  After listening to Chen Bin's words, Zhao Guoyang cast a questioning look on him, and asked, "Mr. Chen, from what you said, it seems that this Mr. Ayton is very famous?"

   "Yes, Researcher Zhao!"

  Chen Bin explained in a low voice, "Mr. Ayton was previously the deputy director of the Technology Department of the German Volkswagen headquarters, and he enjoyed a high reputation in the industry. Several popular vehicles of the Volkswagen Group came from his hands."

   "Hmm." Zhao Guoyang nodded upon hearing the words, indicating that he already knew.

  For Ayton, a technical expert, he has no timidity.

The reason is very simple. Zhao Guoyang was originally an expert in this field, and now he still has a wealth of knowledge decades ahead of him. Even facing the best car designers of this era, he has full confidence in crushing him, let alone this Ayton. It's just the top designers of the public.

   In terms of model design, Volkswagen is definitely not the best in the world. Whether it is Ferrari or Maserati, they must surpass Volkswagen in terms of body design.

   Seeing that Zhao Guoyang didn't seem to have any idea of ​​"worshiping the great god" after seeing the great **** in the industry, Chen Bin next to him was a little surprised.

  However, he knew Zhao Guoyang's level in the automotive field, so he didn't say much.

  In Chen Bin's view, it is natural for young people to have some arrogance.

  Or, it is also possible that this little Comrade Zhao still doesn't know the awesomeness of Mr. Ayton.

   After a while, I went to the development department of this Latin American car company and saw the new car that they are developing. Maybe Xiao Zhao will change his opinion.

  Led by Jeffries, everyone first visited the first complete vehicle workshop of the Ancheta factory.

  Seeing each golf ball on the assembly line, from assembly to finished product at an extremely fast speed, everyone in the delegation was full of admiration.

  Among them, after Mao Zhichun saw the speed of the assembly line, he was even more emotional and sighed.

  As the chairman of Songqi Group, Mao Zhichun is very clear about his own situation.

  He knows that Songqi Group has already realized the production process of the full assembly line. However, according to the advanced level of the existing two production lines, it is really far from reaching the speed of other people's assembly lines.

"Mayor Huang, Mr. Mao, the Golf you see now is the best-selling model of Volkswagen Latin America. Basically, in Latin America, our monthly sales are about 30,000 units. !” Derek, who is in charge of sales, said braggingly.

   "30,000 units! This is almost as high as the annual sales of our Songqi Group Santana..." Mao Zhichun couldn't help exclaiming.

   "Hehe, this is only the sales volume in Latin America. In fact, the golf series produced by our Latin American company are also sold in North America and Oceania, but the sales volume is not as large as in Latin America."

   "Wow, if all these markets are added up, your company's sales in one month will be astonishing!" Teng Fei couldn't help admiring in a flattering tone.

   Zhao Guoyang in the back looked at Teng Fei a little unhappy after hearing this.

   In his opinion, as a translator, what he just said has crossed the line.

   It is also fortunate that he communicates with people in Germanic. If he speaks Chinese, I believe that Mayor Huang and Chairman Mao will not give him a good look.

   Just when Zhao Guoyang was secretly slandering Teng Fei, someone took his words.

"Hehe, Mr. Teng is right. In fact, our Volkswagen Group Latin America Company is not satisfied with the current achievements. In the past six months, we have been developing a new generation of golf. It is estimated that we will be able to conduct the first round in a few months." Trial production."

  “After the launch of the new golf ball, we will continue to maintain our leading position in the Latin American and African regions of our golf series products. Perhaps, the scope will be further expanded.”

   It was naturally Ayton, who was in charge of technology, who said this.

   Judging from the smug look on this man's face, he is still very confident in this new golf from his R&D department.

"Hehe, Mr. Ayton's authority in terms of technology is world-class. The new products you lead research and development will definitely not be bad! If it weren't for you, we Songqi Group would not come to your company for help. The Santana model needs to be improved." Teng Fei added.

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't bear it anymore.

He took a few steps forward, and in front of Huang Zhigang and Mao Zhichun, he said to Teng Fei with a cold face: "Translator Teng, please pay attention to your position, you are a member of our Huaxia delegation. In addition, Your job is to be a translator, so please don’t say something you shouldn’t say.”

   "Golf and Santana are two cars, which one is better or worse? It's your own opinion. It's not your turn to jump to conclusions."

   "You... what are you talking about! How can you say such words that violate the spirit of cooperation between the two parties!" Teng Fei blushed instantly after being reprimanded by Zhao Guoyang, and couldn't help retorting.
