Chapter 120 Imminent Change
Zhao Guoyang cleared his throat and said, "Mayor Huang, if I guess correctly, there should be a big reason why your Songjiang City has made up its mind to stop the production of Songjiang cars because Songjiang Volkswagen wants to expand its scale, right?"
Before Huang Zhigang could speak, Zhao Guoyang said to himself: "Actually, this is not difficult to guess. After all, the sales volume of Songjiang Santana has been so good in the past year and has almost monopolized the domestic mid-range vehicle market."
"Under such momentum, both Songjiang Municipal Government and Songjiang Volkswagen want to continue their efforts, increase production, and strive to create new glory."
"Indeed, the successful launch of the Santana model has directly allowed Songjiang Volkswagen to surpass FAW and Second Automobile and embark on a fast track of development. It may not be possible for others to reach it in the next five to ten years."
"But..." Zhao Guoyang changed his tone. "In my opinion, relying solely on this car, Songjiang Volkswagen's products seem too simple."
Hearing this, not only Huang Zhigang, but also Fang Xuesen held his breath and looked at Zhao Guoyang without blinking, waiting for his detailed explanation.
Zhao Guoyang didn't care. He pondered for a moment, organized the language, and began to explain his point of view: "A few leaders, I have also taken the Santana car, so just talk about my opinion casually. There may be any inappropriate points, so please correct me."
"Due to the rapid expansion of the market, the positioning of Santana cars at this stage should gradually change from family cars to official cars and business cars."
"From the perspective of a family sedan, Santana's performance is undoubtedly excellent enough. But as an official or business car, it is at a disadvantage compared to the Audi 100 in terms of comfort and rear space."
Zhao Guoyang said frankly: "In my opinion, it is urgent to allow Santana to continue to lead the domestic sedan market and make some personalized changes in the future!"
After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, the faces of several big men in the conference room changed drastically.
You should know that during the meeting yesterday, Director Fang, Mayor Huang and others discussed the future development trends of Songjiang Volkswagen based on the views of some domestic automobile research experts. The final conclusions reached are almost the same as Zhao Guoyang's analysis.
Through his own analysis, Zhao Guoyang was able to draw the same conclusion. This is really amazing.
Fang Xuesen suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "So Xiao Zhao, how do you think this personalized change should be done?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but smile and said, "Director Fang, you want me to answer this question. I really don't know how to talk about it in detail. I can only briefly talk about my understanding of business vehicles..."
Amid the anticipation of a group of people, Zhao Guoyang raised three fingers and said, "In fact, in foreign countries, there are certain standards for the definition of business vehicles. In general, it is nothing more than three aspects: body length, interior space, and comfort."
"As long as we set the two major directions of lengthening the body and improving comfort, it will never be difficult to redesign a new model based on the existing Santana."
Zhao Guoyang then added: "In this regard, I think the design team can learn from the experience of some foreign models. As far as I know, Volkswagen has a development team in Western Europe and Latin America. If our leaders and R&D personnel of Songjiang Volkswagen can go over and take a look, and visit, I believe there will definitely be a lot of gains..."
After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, he stopped smiling and waiting for the big guys to digest their remarks.
Zhao Siyan beside him looked at him at this moment, her eyes were already straightened, and her demented look was like looking at a foreigner.
After a moment, Li Kejian was the first to react. He looked at Fang Xuesen, who was still thinking deeply, and Huang Zhigang, two heavyweights, took a deep breath, and said, "I personally agree with the suggestion Xiao Zhao just said."
"Although Songjiang Volkswagen's sales have always been at the leading level in China, the problem of product singularity is still very prominent. If we cannot plan ahead and plan in advance, it is actually not too optimistic whether we can continue to be brilliant in the future."
Li Kejian looked directly at Zhao Guoyang and exclaimed: "Xiao Zhao said that he wanted to design a brand new model to compete for the market for official and business vehicles. I think this view is very forward-looking."
"As our domestic economic level increases, the popularity of automobiles will definitely accelerate further. Official and commercial vehicles will inevitably become the main force."
Li Kejian turned to Huang Zhigang and said, "Mayor Huang, going out boldly is the most important step in improving our country's automobile industry. I think, Songjiang Volkswagen, it's time to go out and take a look!"
As the top bull in the domestic machinery industry, Li Kejian's words are very important.
Many times, he is a guest at the State Council. Therefore, Huang Zhigang did not dare to take this person lightly.
In fact, even if Li Kejian did not express this attitude, Huang Zhigang had already made up his mind to accept Zhao Guoyang's opinions in full.
Zhao Guoyang's analysis just now hit Huang Zhigang's heart.
Especially his analysis of the future official car and commercial car market made him suddenly realize.
The reason why Huang Zhigang remained silent and did not say anything was actually just thinking about a question - how to find a way to dig Zhao Guoyang from Jiangnan Province.
"What Mr. Li said is that after the expo is over, our Songjiang Municipal Government will put the matter of "The Songjiang Public Goes Out". At that time, if possible, I hope Mr. Li can do his best and be a technical consultant for our Songjiang City!"
Li Kejian glanced at Director Fang beside him and smiled, "Haha, as long as Director Fang approved it, I will naturally have no problem."
Huang Zhigang looked at Fang Xuesen and said, "Then Director Fang, then I'll wait for you now."
Fang Xuesen agreed with irresistible: "Mayor Huang, this is not a big problem. Let's put it aside first, everything is easy to discuss."
"The topic has not ended just now. Xiao Zhao has just said the 'three majors', and there are 'three small's' yet! I also want to hear Xiao Zhao's opinion on these 'three smalls'!"
After Fang Xuesen finished speaking, Huang Zhigang, Liang Xiaofeng and others nodded secretly.
The leaders of Songjiang City are naturally concerned about Songjiang Volkswagen. However, Director Fang Xuesen is different. He is the leader of central ministries and commissions, so he naturally has to have a comprehensive plan for all domestic auto companies and consider them comprehensively.
It is rare to meet such a unique freak like Zhao Guoyang, so Fang Xuesen naturally wants to hear his opinion.
