Chapter 1362 I Have Fans Too (Part 1)
For this level of investment, it would be a lie for the leaders of some research institutions in China who are qualified to know a little bit to say that they are not envious, but they do not have the courage of Guo Tailai, so naturally they cannot dictate these projects.
In the final analysis, these projects are the projects of Guo Tailai Company, and the support of the state is just a large loan. The problem is that the loan is not an appropriation, it must be repaid with interest. If the project really fails, Guo Tailai's company will suffer huge losses, and it is very likely that they will lose all their money. These losses will be borne by Guo Tailai and several other shareholders.
Do other research institutions dare to take this risk? Even if they are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes, and pat their chests to promise that they dare to take risks, do banks dare to lend so much?
These loans of Zhengyifang Technology were all made by Guo Tailai with the legal person shares of FAW and Second Automobile as collateral. It is a solid high-quality asset mortgage, without any favoritism and fraud. Even if Zhengyifang Technology's project fails, from the perspective of the country, there will be no loss. Do other research institutions have the support of such rich and powerful bosses?
In essence, this series of support from the country and the army is just an attitude expression. Apart from allocating some manpower to help Guo Tailai in other places and providing unprecedented convenience, there is no more substantial support. support. This does not violate the policy, nor does it harm the public and private interests. It is a completely reasonable and legal business behavior, and no one can say no to it.
But for Guo Tailai, this attitude is enough. All he wanted was an attitude of trust and support. The company has started vigorous research in accordance with the direction and scope he designated, and all he has to do now is to wait for the results of the research.
At the end of July, the players of the major Premier League teams had begun to gather for pre-match physical reserves and warm-up matches in order to hone the team's recovery and practice tactics. Before that, the various professional football media in the Premier League reported another thing.
Tottenham's players, assembled for the new season, were each rewarded with the reward promised by the boss for winning the league title last season - an alternative luxury SUV of their choice.
It has to be said that whether it is the Cavalier XV or the Battle Shield, these two high-end luxury SUVs are still very attractive to men, especially football stars who like confrontational sports. Tall and bold models, luxurious interiors, and excellent performance all meet their appetite.
Especially the price that can be compared with some expensive sports cars makes them appreciate and love it. To put it a little vulgarly, driving this car to go out to pick up girls is no worse than driving a sports car, but when you want to do something further, those petite and exquisite sports cars can’t keep up with these two big SUVs.
Especially this car is the handwriting of Mr. T, the leading designer in the automotive industry, that is, the boss himself designed it, so what else can we say? On the first day of assembly, all the team members drove their new cars proudly and showed off everywhere.
These two luxury SUVs were also able to appear in the eyes of the world for the first time. Although the crew of "Shen Xing" in Hollywood already had prototype cars for filming, the crew has adopted the principle of secrecy. No one knows what these two cars look like. Now, a group of superstars including Da Luo , bringing these two cars to the eyes of fans all over the world in an instant.
The world's No. 1 sport is not something that is covered. If the fans know about it, it means that many people will also start to know about it by word of mouth. How could Dongfeng and Dongfang Group miss this kind of moment? They were already prepared. As soon as the cars of the Premier League stars appeared in the media, the advertisements over there were sent to high-end customers. Of course, some simple media advertisements are indispensable, but this kind of high-end car is obviously not for the public. It is enough to simply let people know what kind of car it is and when to drool when they see it.
Then came a batch of orders like flakes, which caught Dongfeng and Dongfang Group by surprise. This kind of high-end custom-made luxury SUV still needs to be customized. In their thinking, if there are a hundred or ten cars a year, it is already a hot seller. What about the orders for hundreds of vehicles?
Not to mention the surprise of the two automobile factories, even Guo Tailai, who was connected to the news, was also surprised. how is this possible? This kind of high-end luxury custom-made SUV is just a hand-crafted gimmick in the future dream. They are sold as expensive as ordinary Rolls Royce, but the sales volume is really not very good. Why is it suddenly so expensive? So popular?
Really confused, Guo Tailai had no choice but to call Mr. Pagani and ask him if he knew the reason? After all, besides being a car designer, Mr. Pagani is also an excellent businessman, and he should know why.
"Don't you understand?" Mr. Pagani couldn't help laughing on the phone when he heard Guo Tailai's question: "It's very simple! It's because of you!"
"Me?" Guo Tailai asked very puzzled, "I have such a big face?"
"It's not your face." Mr. Pagani explained with a smile: "You know that the value of some classic models of Ferrari and Lamborghini is getting higher and higher, right?"
"I know!" Of course Guo Tailai knew this. If it wasn't for these, Guo Tailai himself would not have collected all the models of Lamborghini and Ferrari after 2000, and now he would also add McLaren models, because he talked about cooperation a few days ago By the way, I also talked about this.
"Currently, almost all the top-end super sports cars produced by you are increasing in value." Mr. Pagani explained the reason clearly in a simple sentence: "And there are only a few models designed by you, some of which are yours. Car fans are taking the greatest pleasure in collecting your works. Therefore, the sales of these models other than supercars should be driven by your fans. Of course, there are still a group of people who can’t afford supercars and want to enjoy T Fans of Mr.’s works will also choose relatively cheap models to satisfy their wishes.”
Apart from the Mazda RX7 Ultimate Edition, the cheapest supercar produced by Guo Tailai is a top supercar that exceeds three million euros. Even the RX7 is priced at more than one million dollars. The top configuration of the two red flags is also a luxury car with a price of more than one million US dollars, and only these two SUVs are luxury cars with an ex-factory price of less than one million US dollars. Therefore, these two models that are not too expensive and can reflect the grade have become the first choice of some "mid-range rich".
"So that's how it is." Guo Tailai suddenly realized, thinking of what Mr. Pagani said, he couldn't help being a little proud: "I didn't expect that I still have a group of car fans."
