Chapter 1245: Rolls-Royce's reply!
"Mr. Mauper, can you tell me in detail why you have this view?"
The host has seen strong storms. At the Geneva Motor Show, the mutual confrontation between brands is no longer a new thing.
After Mau Bo Yishi said something that obviously did not take the Hongqi seriously, the host glanced at Li Kai with a bad face and asked calmly.
"First of all, I want to be sure that the brand of Hongqi has technology.
Holographic projection technology and magnetic levitation suspension are both enough to be called major breakthrough results in automotive application technology this year. However, for E-class cars, this is not the most important thing.
This kind of technology that has not been released for a long time and has not experienced market tests and performance verification is too... irresponsible.
As you know, whether a luxury brand can be recognized does not depend on a certain technology of the car. Instead, it includes a comprehensive range of technology, quality, service, brand value, popularity and other aspects.
Zhengxin Hongqi only focuses on technology and ignores other 'technical' concepts. In the field of E-class cars, it seems that it has failed at the moment. Sir Gelaird, do you think I'm right?"
After Mauper finished speaking, he looked at Gelaird sitting beside him and asked as if he was demonstratively.
If it weren't for the image of Zhengxin Hongqi in front of the public, Li Kai would have retorted it long ago!
Now seeing Mau Bo losing a lot of red flags, he finally had the opportunity to speak, so he quit.
Before Gelaird could speak, Li Kai said angrily: "All the technologies we use in our products have been strictly tested and guaranteed to be foolproof, so I cannot agree with Mr. Mauper's irresponsible remarks about us. We may have some radical ones. However, as a car company with outstanding R&D capabilities and a new competitor in the field of top luxury cars, I don't feel that radical is wrong."
Maup shrugged indifferently, ignored him, but stubbornly turned his eyes to Gelaird.
This made Li Kai and Li Fanyu, who were in the audience, feel itchy.
"Sir Gerald, you have complained about me when I expressed this view to my friends before. Now, in front of everyone, what do you say?"
He was still thinking about this.
Gelaird's white beard slightly raised, looked at Li Fanyu sitting in the first row in the stands, and then looked at Maupo.
"I agree with most of your point of view."
The old jazz changed his posture and stood up and said, "First of all, I think the elegance of Zhengxin Hongqi and the youth are two good cars. Whether in terms of design or the technology it carries, I am impressed by this automobile company from China.
As far as I know, 80% of the parts of these two products are designed and produced by Zhengxin. This is something that any car company dreams of but cannot achieve.
This shows Zhengxin’s manufacturing strength from the side, and I am very envious.
Highly independent production represents better vehicle performance and reliability for top luxury cars. As for those technologies that are eye-catching, everyone already knows this, so there is no need to say much.
But as Mauper said, Hongqi is an E-Class car that failed. The failure is that they only created a good product but did not create a good system. This is a shortcoming of a brand accumulation and a flaw of any new enterprise or new brand.
But if we use this to determine that this brand has no way out, or even as Mr. Mauper said, it is undoubtedly too absolute."
Maupo smiled disdainfully: "Mr. Gerald, do you think that Red Flag will be your Rolls-Royce competitor? If so, then you would be too unconfident and be too pessimistic about the future of Rolls-Royce."
"Of course not." Gerald shook his head, "Zhengxin will not be a competitor to Rolls-Royce."
Mau Po smiled, "Then how could you say I was too absolute?"
"Because yesterday, during a long talk with Mr. Li, he made a proposal. He wanted to acquire Rolls-Royce shares and integrate Rolls-Royce's service system into the Hongqi brand. After discussions yesterday, we felt that we could negotiate with Zhengxin on this matter and seek a win-win cooperation method while ensuring that Rolls-Royce's tradition is unshakable."
Gerald said that the wind was light and clouds were light.
But a huge uproar occurred in the G6 News Hall!
"WTF? Did I hear it wrong? Rolls-Royce will negotiate equity acquisition with Zhengxin Group?"
"God! What is the origin of this Chinese car company?"
"I don't understand. Before the Europa League acquired Rolls-Royce, the first person who was dissatisfied with the merger was Gelaird. Now, why did he change his mind?"
"Oh my God, will Rolls-Royce, the last British car brand, be included in China one day? It's unimaginable!"
Off the audience, the reporters and tourists were in an uproar.
On the stage, the host and three other guests were also full of horror!
Maupo's expression had frozen.
He couldn't figure out what was going on in this world!
The fact that Rolls-Royce once refused the Europa League merger was well known in the automotive industry. It is no exaggeration to say that being rejected by Rolls-Royce made the Europa League a laughing stock in the industry for a long time.
During that time, Rolls-Royce has even become a resentment of the European Union.
But now, they are actually discussing mergers and acquisitions with a company from China, with a total of only five years of history?
Maupo felt a little confused!
Li Kai, who was standing by, also felt that he was not mentally enough.
Damn, what's going on!
When will Mr. Li go to Rolls-Royce to discuss mergers and acquisitions without saying a word?!
This is too big!
He digested it for a long time before he realized something.
He gave Li Fanyu quietly a thumbs up to the audience. He looked at Mo Bo, who had a slightly open mouth and a messy face, and laughed out loud.
This guy!
I used my own actions to dig a big hole for myself. Then... I was kicked down by Gerald!
What "I don't think Zhengxin will bring changes to the E-Class car field..."
Damn, thinking about what Maupo said with a arrogant look just now, Li Kai was like a smile.
If Zhengxin really reaches an acquisition or cooperation with Rolls-Royce, it will undoubtedly completely subvert the pattern of top luxury cars!
"Ahem," Li Kai forced himself to hold it in for a moment, not making him laugh, "Mr. Maupo, Mr. Maupo?"
He said it twice before pulling Maupo back from the mess: "Ah?"
"May I ask, are you still sticking to what you just thought?"
Li Kai suppressed his laughter and asked.
Chapter completed!
