Chapter 1571 Digging a Hole

Ratan Tata looked at Feng Yiping, who had a gentle smile and a clear voice, and was very rarely annoyed and frustrated. How could this guy's brain be so useful?

Bollywood is right next to him, and the group's Tata Consulting Company has so many engineers and such strong problem-solving capabilities. Why didn't he think of this idea before?

He also knew clearly that this idea represented not a small business.

Just look at Steve Jobs' experience and you will know that the special effects department of Industrial Light and Magic, which he bought at a bargain price, is now Pixar. The box office of that cartoon was really high and enviable.

For example, last year's "Finding Nemo" had a global box office of nearly 900 million US dollars!

Pixar's cartoons seem to have the lowest box office, but they are not less than 300 million US dollars. It has produced so many movies over the years, and the total box office is so high that Ratan feels a little ashamed when he thinks about it.

Of course, Pixar's success is difficult to replicate, but let's not talk about animation, just guarding Bollywood, this special effects business is also a big piece of cake, not only is it not small, but it is definitely more profitable than the outsourcing business undertaken by consulting companies.

As a leader, he has always wanted Tata Consulting to have its own independent projects in addition to outsourcing business. After all, outsourcing is good, but there is no initiative. As for the profit, it is even more incomparable with independent projects.

However, there are also advantages to focusing on outsourcing business, that is, the risk is small. The commissioned company makes a lot of money, but they have no share. Similarly, the commissioned company makes a lot of money, which has no impact on him, even in the years of the Internet winter.

Now the cold wave has passed and the market is warming up, but in the hearts of many people in the industry, it is inevitable that there is still a shadow, and they will be very cautious in choosing entrepreneurial projects.

Tata Consulting has never found a suitable one, and Feng Yiping's idea is really the right one.

With the strength of the Tata Group and the strength of Tata Consulting, it can naturally undertake many special effects needs of Bollywood, and there will be Hollywood and animation in the future...

Looking at Feng Yiping on the other side, who was about to speak again, Laden was really conflicted. He expected Feng Yiping to come up with another good idea for cooperation, but also hoped that he only had these two good ideas.

Even if there were only these two, the blow was already not small, okay, let's not have another wave.

This time, the wish came true, "I have no other opinions, Mr. Sean, you can continue to say your opinions,"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Feng," Sean looked at the suggestions for cooperation on the document, and he really didn't want to mention it at this time. At least, compared with Feng Yiping's two projects, the gap is really big.

"We think," he just said the beginning, and was interrupted once, but this time it was his boss who spoke.

Laden leaned forward and asked Feng Yiping, "Come to my office and sit down?"

"Okay," Feng Yiping said happily, he also meant that.

The two big guys left in harmony, leaving a bunch of executives staring at each other, looking at the bosses' intentions, is there any need to discuss other projects?

…………

“Thank you,” Feng Yiping, who was sitting by the window, took the mineral water handed over by Ladan and said to the window, “The scenery is really nice.”

When we were downstairs, the Bombay Building and its surroundings were really inconspicuous, but from here, it was really pleasant.

In the distance, there was an increasingly spectacular city skyline, and downstairs, there was lush greenery, which made people feel refreshed.

Feng Yiping thought that the main reason was that the funds allocated by the Mumbai Municipal Government to the municipal departments were limited, so they had no funds to widen the roads, and even less funds to allow those in power to adjust the varieties of street trees according to their own preferences. The trees around the Bombay Building may be older than the Bombay Building, so it can have such an effect now.

"Nothing has changed, it's just that the height is different," Laden smiled and sat down opposite Feng Yiping, "Is it my illusion, or do I think you are a little unsatisfied, Mr. Feng? It doesn't matter, just say whatever you want to say,"

"We all know how rare this opportunity is. We don't know when we will have the next face-to-face communication,"

This guy is really not a joke, he can actually see that he has something to say.

"You are right, I do have some ideas, but in this regard, it can only be regarded as a general direction, I can't give a specific plan yet,"

"I am all ears," Laden raised his hand.

"I don't know if you have noticed that I also have a company called Tesla under my name," Feng Yiping said.

"Haha, how could I not know?" Laden said with a smile, "Because Mr. Feng, you are the founder, I think all car manufacturers will not ignore this project,"

"You are overpraising me. My companions and I just think that the automotive industry does need some changes, whether from the perspective of environmental protection or user experience,"

"I understand," Laden nodded, "Do you mean that our two companies will also cooperate in the automotive field?"

Entering the automotive industry is also an important move after Laden came to power. He has always hoped to produce India's "national car".

However, although he is ambitious, the current automobile company has been losing money.

"Yes, I have such an idea. I think that at least in the future, when we develop the markets of China and India, we can work together,"

"Okay," Ratan said without hesitation again. He felt that this proposal was a gift from Feng Yiping, and his previous annoyance and frustration disappeared immediately.

Why did Feng Yiping bring this up? Because everyone knows that the promotion of new energy vehicles cannot be separated from the support and investment of the country. The same will be true for Tesla in India in the future. After so many years of hard work, Tata has a good relationship with successive Indian governments.

This must be the main reason why he brought this up.

But, okay!

All car manufacturers know how big the Chinese motor vehicle market is, but Tata Motors is currently facing many problems in its domestic sales, let alone sales to China.

If Feng Yiping is willing to help in this regard, it would be great.

As for the future expansion of Tesla in the Indian market, haha, we have to wait until their cars are built.

When will the cars they claim to be built? Like other traditional car manufacturers, Ratan Tata is pessimistic about this.

"That's three projects," Ratan Tata happily extended his hand, "Happy cooperation,"

"Happy cooperation," Feng Yiping also happily shook his hand, "The specific terms can also be handed over to them for discussion first,"

"Yes," Ratan waved his hand and asked an assistant to pass the news to the executives who were still negotiating in the conference room.

If you don't accept such a big gift package, wouldn't you be a fool?

However, every time he thought of this moment later, Ratan felt very depressed. He didn't expect that he was so old, but he was still so naive and actually believed that there would be a bargain delivered to his door.

It's true. He was sold by Feng Yiping and helped him count the money. Alas, I can only blame the young man for his bad luck.

Feng Yiping was naturally very happy at this time because he successfully dug a pit.

By the way, many people in China know Tata through the standard equipment of the local tyrants and celebrities, Land Rover. This British car brand acquired by Tata helped Tata Motors to successfully turn things around.

China is not only the largest single market for Jaguar Land Rover, but also the market with the highest price in the world.

Because he founded Tesla, Feng Yiping certainly could not bid for Ford when it sold Jaguar Land Rover in 2008. Even if he did, he might not be able to outbid Tata Motors.

You know, India still has a lot of points with its former British master.

However, when Tata successfully acquires and adjusts its domestic market layout, according to the agreement, he will naturally have to get involved and share a piece of the pie.

Anyway, no matter how high the price is, how unstable the quality is, or how poor the service is, there are still many people who are obsessed with this brand. Even for the 600,000 Aurora, many people are willing to pay an additional 200,000 to pick up the car.

It's better to make some of this money for yourself than to give it all to Tata.

From another perspective, when almost all traditional car manufacturers are openly mocking and boycotting Tesla, the sudden news of the intention of an influential Indian car manufacturer to cooperate with Tesla is also good news overall.

"Cheers," Tata, who received a big gift package, felt quite good and raised his teacup.

"Cheers," Feng Yiping, who had dug a hole, was also very happy and raised his glass of water.
