Chapter 278 Proof of Time

The Beatles once had glory, but then they declined rapidly. Many people are feeling, why can't classic things be handed down?However, no one knows that classics are never as important as making money, and manufacturers will not produce cars that cannot make money.

Now, for the Eastern market, the Beetle is equally inappropriate.

"Why?" Suddenly someone asked in puzzlement.

"Carl, come and introduce to everyone." Qin Shaoyou gave up the right to speak to Carl.

Karl nodded: "At present, in the East, what is needed is a vehicle with a large space. They don't have any ideas about whether the car is exquisite in shape or whether the car has a long history. The only thing they care about is whether the car has enough space."

"why?"

"Because, in the current East, the number of cars is too small. The most important thing is that a car can accommodate many people. Moreover, the bigger the car, the more elegant it will look. They will think that this car is more profitable. Therefore, if our local models are introduced to the East for production, then they must be lengthened, and our existing hatchbacks are not suitable for the Eastern market."

Karl's analysis made Piëch think.

As the helm of Volkswagen, Piëch has a long-term vision, and he can certainly tell right from wrong.

Piëch sighed: "Yes, they have no car culture, they only value the size of the car, our Beetle will not be welcomed, but, Qin Gong, I still want to give you this car Car. As a wedding present for you and your wife."

"However, I should have no money to pay the tariff."

Any country with an underdeveloped auto industry will charge high tariffs on foreign cars in order to protect its own auto industry. If it is completely liberalized, the domestic auto industry will soon collapse.

In this regard, Brazil has done the most thorough. It simply does not import any cars. There is only one way for international auto companies to enter: to set up factories locally!

Now, of course, you have to accept what you give for nothing, but Qin Shaoyou not only accepts it, he doesn't even want to pay tariffs.

Carl was speechless.

"Of course we will pay you all the customs duties and go through various formalities, just like the impact car that GM gave you," Piëch said.

"Thank you."

In later generations, there are quite a few classic cars in Qin Shaoyou's garage, and the Beetle is one of them. Now, since the other party wants to give it to him, Qin Shaoyou must accept it. In the future, he may also have to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of city S. Make a museum of old cars.

"Qin Gong, we have noticed that the Qin SUV produced by you has created a completely new model. Do you think we need this model in Europe?" Piëch continued to ask.

After visiting the Beetle, there is almost nothing left to see, and next, it's time for discussion.

The reason why Qin Shaoyou is valued here is of course because of his outstanding achievements. Although the Qin SUV has not participated in any world-class auto shows, and the other party even said that it prioritizes satisfying the domestic market, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. What kind of sensation will this brand-new model cause in the world.

"From a general point of view, Europe should be dominated by hatchback and small cars." Qin Shaoyou will not give some people a chance to criticize himself, so let's talk about the current situation here.

Europe does not engage in large-scale construction projects. The streets and buildings in many European cities have a history of hundreds of years. It is very inconvenient to run cars on the streets that used to run horse-drawn carriages. Therefore, in Europe, the hatchback Cars are the most popular.

This has also caused a group of so-called auto experts, advocating that Europeans understand cars every day, and that hatchback cars are king and classic every day, regardless of the fact that a domestic car is intended to accommodate a large family. As a result, they were beaten face off.

It is said that buying an suv is a fake off-road, because they don’t understand cars, but they sell well, why?Because ordinary people don't care about your classics, domineering ways, or car knowledge, they just care about what they want.

Europeans, of course, are the same.

Some people advocate the classic European cars. After entering the domestic market, the lengthened car will no longer be authentic. In fact, when Europeans sit in the extended car, they still give their thumbs up and envy them.

"However, in fact, a car with a large space will make the user's experience better, so I think that in Europe, suvs will also become popular in the future."

"How is this possible?" Someone immediately expressed objection: "This is the world of hatchback cars!"

"Yes, hatchbacks are enough for urban travel, but suvs also have room for them, and when more people realize its advantages, they will choose this kind of car further."

"I do not believe."

"That's right, we don't believe it either."

Qin Shaoyou smiled: "You don't have to believe it. After five or ten years, the market will prove what I said. Volkswagen doesn't pay attention to it. Then, other vehicles, especially SUVs from island countries, will occupy the European market in a large scale. "

"Qin, how about you?" Karl asked curiously.

Carl is still very convinced of Qin Shaoyou's judgment. Since Qin Shaoyou said that suvs will become popular in Europe, he also believes that they will really become popular. But why does Qin Shaoyou say that it is an island country's suv instead of Qin's suv?

"Because we have to satisfy the domestic market first. Our country's auto industry is still relatively backward. We need to let our motherland obtain enough cars before exporting. Of course, some people may say that we lack confidence. However, we The turbocharged engine, electronic body stabilization system, etc., are already at the forefront of the world, and we feel that, in some respects, they are still advanced."

When he said these words, those present who wanted to refute him finally ceased their fire.

That's right, they have technology, and in some fields, they are still world-class technology!

"Visiting your company today is an eye-opener for us." Qin Shaoyou said: "However, today has delayed everyone for a long time. Everyone, my wife and I want to say goodbye to everyone."

"Qin Gong, we have arranged a banquet for you."

"Well, I'm afraid I'll drink too much and make a fool of myself. Besides, I also want to save time for my wife. After all, we're here for our honeymoon."

"Qin Gong, would you like to stay and work in our Volkswagen headquarters?" Piëch finally said this.

They appreciate capable people, and Qin Shaoyou is just such a person. If Qin Shaoyou stays, it will definitely bring new vitality and vitality to their Volkswagen!

"Wait until our Phoenix Motors becomes a world-class car company. At that time, it's time for me to retire bravely and find a new job."
