Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 2196 This is the general trend

"John, I need you to provide a detailed written report on this matter!"

"I think you should know how to write it. I hope you can take the initiative to state the reasons for the failure of this acquisition. This is a problem for Volvo Group President Handy. You must remember to write it down."

Chris ordered, with a look of embarrassment on his greasy face.

John was silent, he had nothing to say to Chris.

"Don't worry, as long as you write down these reasons, we will be fine."

Chris patted John's shoulder as if to comfort him. The tone of this superior made John very unhappy, but he still showed a smile.

John nodded, but he also understood how to write it specifically.

Once he does this, Chris will shirk all the responsibilities on him, and if John still shirks responsibility for the report he wrote, Ford headquarters will definitely be held accountable.

All of this is Chris's attempt to pass the blame.

I am your assistant, but not your scapegoat!
……

Regarding Ford's failure to acquire Volvo Group Cars, Chen Jianghai did not know the news.

He had just finished listening to Yue Hongsheng's work report and was taking a rest. Luo Hao and Wang Yadi were carefully preparing materials for the next meeting.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Chen Jianghai fell into a state of emptiness.

"Mr. Chen, do we really have a chance? I don't think Volvo is interested in us."

Luo Hao said slightly worriedly.

Now we can only wait.

If Ford succeeds in acquiring the Volvo Group, Chen Jianghai's plans will all come to nothing.

“We cannot leave things to chance until we have done our best.”

Chen Jianghai turned around and then looked at Wang Yadi, "Mr. Wang, are you ready for the technical information I asked you to compile?"

"Of course, I still know BYD very well. At present, our battery technology has reached world-class standards, but it is limited to some conventional equipment."

“If it’s new energy vehicle battery technology, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait a little longer.”

Wang Yadi frowned and handed over a piece of information.

Chen Jianghai doesn't need to look. He understands that the current technological barriers cannot be broken easily. If he wants to develop battery technology for new energy vehicles, he needs support from all aspects.

What BYD can do now is improve the theory. Only when automobile companies intervene can more key data be obtained for the next step of R&D and manufacturing.

Therefore, whether we can win Volvo Cars is very critical.

"At the beginning, I actually wanted to acquire the Volvo Group. It's not that our Qiuhai Group doesn't have the financial resources..."

Chen Jianghai stood up and turned to look out the window. Luo Hao and Wang Yadi also stood up, and they followed Chen Jianghai.

Luo Hao could understand Chen Jianghai's change. When they flew to Sweden before, Chen Jianghai had said that he wanted to acquire Volvo and get ahead of Ford.

But during a previous meeting with Handy, the boss seemed to have changed his mind.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean now?"

As Mr. Chen's secretary, there was nothing wrong with Luo Hao asking this question. Wang Yadi looked at Chen Jianghai's back very curiously and seemed to want to know the specific reason.

"Mr. Wang, I once told you that I want to develop China's own cars." Chen Jianghai turned around with bright eyes. Wang Yadi was slightly stunned, seeming to recall the first time he heard Chen Jianghai propose to build cars. The picture when the car was conceived.

Chen Jianghai has always been a person who dares to think and act. It is easy to acquire Volvo, but like Ford, the troubles he will face when acquiring Volvo are the same as Ford.

You must know that Volvo is a European car company, and they don't have much favorable impressions of the Chinese.

At the very least, Volvo will have great autonomy when it comes to building cars. Even if it develops a car with the Qiuhai brand, the core is Volvo's technology after all, and it is not a domestically produced car.

But after Chen Jianghai instilled the concept of new energy vehicles into Volvo's president Handi, a cooperative relationship could develop between them.

To build Chinese cars, we must use Chinese technology. The core technology of new energy vehicles will be battery life, and the one who masters this technology will be BYD.

This is the reason why Chen Jianghai changed his mind.

China may not have many advantages in the field of traditional fuel vehicles. On the contrary, in terms of new energy, judging from the resources currently controlled by Chen Jianghai, it is entirely possible for them to become a pioneer in this area, or even a trend leader.

"To build our own cars, the core technology must be in our hands."

"Volvo is a second-tier luxury car brand. We can borrow some of their technologies, but the key technologies must be mastered by us. I am afraid this aspect will become our focus of research and development in the future. Mr. Wang, you will have to work hard in the future."

Chen Jianghai said with a smile, his confidence still intact.

Wang Yadi didn't know where Chen Jianghai's confidence came from, but he could understand Chen Jianghai's painstaking efforts.

If you want to build a car, build a car that China has mastered the core technology!
New energy vehicles will become the top priority of China's car manufacturing industry and are the general trend.

Chen Jianghai's goal is very clear. If he wants to build a car, he must produce it domestically. However, this is a long and arduous road. Chen Jianghai needs to start with the Volvo Group first.

After the turn of the millennium, the automobile industry will experience many turbulences and related technological innovations, and he knows more or less about this aspect.

It is precisely because of the memories of his previous life that Chen Jianghai came to Sweden to negotiate with the Volvo Group.

Although Wang Yadi didn't know where Chen Jianghai's confidence came from, he always stood by Chen Jianghai.

Wang Yadi was poor and broke back then, but it was Chen Jianghai who brought him from nothing to where he is now.

Everything he had was given by Chen Jianghai. Now whatever decision the other party wants to make, Wang Yadi will only give his full support.

At this moment, Chen Jianghai's personal phone rang.

As soon as he connected, there was a burst of noise on the other end of the phone, and the content seemed to be about stocks.

Chen Jianghai lowered his head and smiled. He knew without much thought that it was Butters who should have called him.

Phones in this era were not very anti-interference, so Chen Jianghai was not used to these noises. However, before Butters could speak, Chen Jianghai spoke first.

"Mr. Butters, there is quite a lot of noise over there. I recommend you to use the Forerunner V1. This phone has better communication capabilities. If there are important people around you talking, you don't have to worry about being eavesdropped by the person on the other end of the phone. Let’s go.”

Chen Jianghai said this as a joke, and Batter burst into laughter.

Luo Hao and Wang Yadi couldn't help but smile. The boss would really advertise his products.

"Chen, I will consider your proposal."

Butters said with a smile. He was now sitting in the office. It was extremely quiet when the door was closed. People here were private, and even the secretary was waiting outside.

Chen Jianghai probably guessed the purpose of Butters' call.
