Dr. Werner P. Schmidt's reaction had been fully anticipated by Zhang Hongchuan before he arrived.

Faced with Dr. Werner P. Schmidt’s criticism, Zhang Hongchuan decisively sided with Tiangong Automobile Group: “Dr. Schmidt, we also passed a rigorous investigation. As far as I know, although Tiangong Automobile Group is a new company,

The company is a strategic partner of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group, and the six cars it released this year caused a huge sensation at the Geneva International Motor Show."

"Car dealers and consumers around the world must have sharp eyes."

"At least, in the world, Tiangong Automobile is more popular than Santana, isn't it?"

"From what I've heard, Santana's past history doesn't seem to be very good."

In the last sentence, Zhang Hongchuan's tone was somewhat meaningful, and he looked directly at Dr. Werner P. Schmidt.

Dr. Werner P. Schmidt's confidence was momentarily low.

My family knew their own situation. They had bullied the mainland before and didn't understand the outside world. The public also didn't like the mainland market, so they fooled around and came up with the outdated and failed Santana model. They also had a arrogant attitude, hoping to get more

That's why we kept negotiating.

Unexpectedly, this delay would cause trouble. Seeing that the mainland was about to agree, the Tiangong Automobile Group suddenly appeared.

Dr. Werner P. Schmidt was full of anger and embarrassment at this time.

He stiffened his neck and said: "Tiangong Automobile's appearance is just a little more attractive, but its technical level is far inferior to our Volkswagen Company."

"Now we at Volkswagen are developing similar models in a targeted manner. With our strength, we will be able to develop them very quickly. Tiangong Automobile Group cannot compare with us!"

"Team Leader Zhang, after all, the automobile industry is a very important field. I suggest you think about it carefully."

"I will truthfully report your attitude to my superiors."

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

After saying that, Dr. Werner P. Schmidt walked away, but in Zhang Hongchuan's view, Dr. Werner P. Schmidt's steps were in a hurry, and he seemed to be fleeing in panic.

"Think clearly, haha!"

"National strategy is nothing but a child's play!"

"I'd better contact Tiangong Automobile Group as soon as possible. I won't be able to live an easy life this year..."

After thinking about it, Zhang Hongchuan turned around and left. He wanted to form an inspection and negotiation team as soon as possible, make a negotiation plan, and promote cooperation with Tiangong Automobile Group as soon as possible.

It has been several years since the above proposal was made to build civilian cars. Enough time has been wasted and we can no longer delay...

…

After Dr. Werner P. Schmidt reported the situation to the head office, it naturally caused quite a stir, and there was a heated discussion about the matter within Volkswagen.

There is no doubt that Volkswagen is dissatisfied with both plans proposed by Mainland China.

The first option is to build a complete automobile factory from scratch, and there is no way to annex the Shanghai Tow Automobile Corporation. Then the construction cost will increase several times, and it will increase the difficulty in all aspects.

The second option was almost unanimously opposed by Volkswagen executives.

Originally, the Santana was intended for waste recycling, and the technology was not the most advanced. However, it would be absolutely impossible to come up with a full set of car-making technologies that are equivalent to the six newly released cars of Tiangong Automobile Group!

These technologies were developed by Volkswagen after investing tens of billions of dollars over the past many years. They are now the foundation of Volkswagen. How could they be given to the mainland so easily?

From the perspective of Volkswagen, the mainland market is too narrow. The current annual output is only 4,000 cars. Even if it can reach a cooperation to build a production line with an annual output of 30,000 cars, it is difficult to sell 30,000 cars a year.

Hard to say.

Even if it can be sold, how much money can it make?

Many senior officials who were originally opposed to cooperation with the mainland took this opportunity to propose giving up cooperation with the mainland completely.

For a time, Volkswagen's cooperation with mainland China was cast under a cloud.

But this is exactly what Xia Yu wants.

People should stay away!

…

In the Chairman's Office, Jiuding Building, Kowloon, Xiangjiang, Xia Yu was rushing to sign documents when there was a knock on the door.

“Tuk-tuk!”

"Come in!"

As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, the ajar office door was pushed open, revealing Wang Qi's figure.

Xia Yu put down his pen and said with a smile: "Wang Qi, why is it so late? I thought Jiuding Securities didn't need a year-end bonus."

Wang Qi smiled awkwardly, licked his face and said, "Chairman, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Xia Yu chuckled, shook his head, and said, "How are the year-end awards and party arranged this year?"

"Chairman, this is the annual plan and list prepared by Jiuding Securities Company. Please take a look at it!"

Wang Qi walked quickly to Xia Yu, took out a plan prepared by Jiuding Securities Company from his bag, and presented it to Xia Yu.

"Sit down first!"

After signaling Wang Qi to sit down, Xia Yu browsed Wang Qi's year-end bonus and party plans.

Jiuding Securities Company is preparing to hold a year-end party. In addition to eating and drinking, the most important part of the party is the awards ceremony and collective lottery.

The awards section is based on the contributions made this year, and awards are given to employees who have made great contributions to the company. There are even three awards.

One of the first prizes is a sea view villa developed by Jiuding Real Estate Group, worth HK$4 million.

The three second prize winners are three top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce cars. According to the current exchange rate, each one is worth more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the three cars add up to more than 6 million Hong Kong dollars.

The ten third prize winners are the ten most top-of-the-range Bentley Continentals, each worth more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and ten cars are worth more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

For the awards ceremony alone, Jiuding Securities spent nearly 19 million Hong Kong dollars.

As for the lottery, it is open to all employees. Every employee has a chance. Even the cleaning lady at the bottom of the company can draw. It is absolutely fair.

In the lottery, prizes are divided into six levels.

The first prize is a luxury home worth one million Hong Kong dollars.

The second prize is five Tiangong Shenyu first-generation cars, each worth nearly 150,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The third prize is ten sets of brand new Tiangong home appliances, each including a refrigerator, TV, washing machine, air conditioner and range hood, with a value of HK$20,000.

The fourth prize is 8888 yuan in red envelopes, there are fifty of them.

The fifth prize is a red envelope of 1,888 yuan, of which there are two hundred.

The sixth prize is a red envelope of 888 yuan. This is the lowest level prize, and the number is not limited.

At last count, the entire party, including venue and dinner expenses, will cost HK$28 million.

Of course, this is only the expenditure for the year-end party. In addition, employees will still be given commissions on profits earned by the company, and year-end bonuses will also be paid according to the evaluation rules.

Wang Qi had already received the previous employee performance commissions and year-end bonuses, with a total amount of more than 180 million Hong Kong dollars. This was still a very low ratio, and Xia Yu approved it.

If the expenses of this year-end party are included, Jiuding Securities Company will have to pay out more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars by the end of the year.

But for the profit that Jiuding Securities Company earned for him last year, this was just a small amount!

The employees worked hard to make money for him, and he was not a stingy person. He was willing to give up this little money!

Needless to say, it’s approved!

Xia Yu signed directly on the materials submitted by Wang Qi with a stroke of his pen.

After signing, Xia Yu looked at Wang Qi and asked, "Wang Qi, what's the year-end bonus distribution plan of Xiangjiang Futures Exchange?"

"Did you do it?"

Wang Qi immediately replied: "Chairman, I did it, here it is."

Wang Qi said, and hurriedly took out another piece of material from his bag and presented it to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu asked while browsing: "How is the situation of the futures exchange now? What level has it reached?"

Wang Qi immediately reported: "Chairman, the highest daily trading volume of the futures exchange this week exceeded HK$4.1 billion, which has greatly increased the trading volume of the stock market."

"Now the Hong Kong stock market has become more and more active because more than 20 companies have been listed in the past two months, but the daily trading volume is only about HK$2.8 billion."

This comparison highlights the popularity of the Xiangjiang futures market.

But who makes the futures market a leveraged market? The capital has been enlarged, and it also has FTSE 100 stock index futures, Nikkei 225 stock index futures and rubber futures, three commodities that can be easily accepted by foreign capital?

According to the futures exchange's handling fee of 5/10,000, and based on the current daily trading volume, the handling fee per day can reach 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then signed the document again.

"This plan is well done. This year is the year when the futures exchange will be reborn from the ashes. Let employees live a better life, so that we can work together next year to continue to grow the exchange."

"I understand that next year I am going to let the futures exchange launch crude oil futures and other financial futures commodities."

Wang Qi said with a smile.

"Okay, just have a plan."

"If nothing happens, bring the good news back as soon as possible to make the employees happy."

"Okay, Chairman, I'll go back first."
