Chapter 261 Who is better and who is worse, there is a public opinion
The Anceta factory, located in Bernardo Camp, less than 30 kilometers from Sao Paulo, is the largest Volkswagen factory in Samba.
At the same time, it is also the headquarters and development department of Volkswagen-Latin America.
The company was founded in 1957 and is Volkswagen's first manufacturing plant in Latin America and the first Volkswagen manufacturer established overseas by Volkswagen Group.
Like the German Wolfsburg factory, the automobile company has been undergoing continuous modernization over time.
As early as 1970, the 1 millionth Volkswagen was launched in this factory.
So far, nearly three million Volkswagens have been produced from this factory.
The Anceta factory covers an area of more than 1 million square meters, equivalent to the area of 140 football fields, with more than 15,000 workers, producing best-selling vehicles such as golf and Polo.
This Ancetta factory is the first stop for the Latin American automobile company that Mayor Huang and Zhao Guoyang are going to visit during their trip.
After arriving at the place, Zhao Guoyang got out of the car after several big shots.
Looking at the factory in front of him, Zhang Yufang beside him couldn't help but exclaim.
"Haha, Teacher Zhang was also shocked by the scale of this factory?" Zhao Guoyang said with a gesture.
"Yes, yes, this factory seems to be much bigger than our Songqi Group in Songjiang City." Zhang Yufang couldn't help but responded repeatedly.
"It's much, but after our SAIC Group's No. 2 and No. 3 factory buildings will be built in the future, it will be hard to say." Zhao Guoyang said with a smile.
Following several big shots, I entered the factory, and the senior executives of Volkswagen-Latin American companies have already come out.
When Zhao Guoyang saw the bearded man walking in the front, he was secretly amused.
Judging from his appearance, this person is a typical Germanic man. He is very tall and even half a head taller than Zhao Guoyang, who is more than 1.8 meters tall.
Thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard with a full face make people feel very impressed.
When the two sides shook hands, Teng Fei, the translator of Songqi Group, quickly introduced to Mayor Huang and others: "Mayor Huang, this is the chairman and president of Volkswagen Latin America, Mr. Jeffries."
"Mr. Jeffries, this is our Mayor Huang of Songjiang City..."
Jeffries obviously did his homework in advance. After Teng Fei introduced it, he exchanged greetings with Huang Zhigang, Mao Zhichun and other bigwigs in the innocent Chinese.
Of course, no matter how pure this person's Chinese is, it is just the words "Hello, hello!" "Welcome!" "Thank you all the way!"
When it was Zhao Guoyang's turn, Teng Fei was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to introduce this so-called "special researcher".
Seeing this guy standing there, Zhao Guoyang sneered slightly and started communicating with Jeffries directly.
"Hello Mr. Jeffries, I am Zhao Guoyang, a 'special researcher' from Songqi Group. I am very happy to know you!"
Zhao Guoyang's Germanic language is even above Teng Fei in terms of fluency, which made him stunned.
"Ah, 'Special Researcher' Zhao Guoyang? Hello, hello!" Jeffries asked, shook Zhao Guoyang's hand hard.
"You 'special researcher' are a technology expert, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Guoyang nodded gently, with a calm smile on his face.
After seeing him nodding, Jeffries was even happier and praised repeatedly: "It's great. With a technician who understands Germanic, our communication this time will be much more convenient."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang pointed to Teng Fei, who had not yet come to his senses, and said, "Mr. Jeffries, don't worry, with this Mr. Teng here, communication between us will definitely be no problem."
After hearing what Zhao Guoyang said, Teng Fei's face looked a little better.
He said "hmm" and took the opportunity to introduce the other executives behind Jeffries to the leaders behind him.
After some introduction, everyone finally met the people who came to greet Volkswagen Latin American Company.
In addition to Chairman and President Jeffries, there are seven other board members.
They are Fidelis, who is in charge of human resources, Ayton, who is in charge of product development, Derek, who is in charge of sales and marketing, Jonas, who is in charge of operations, Carlson, who is in charge of finance, Sate, who is in charge of procurement, and Richard, who is in charge of quality control.
Among them, except for Richard, who is in charge of quality control, who is from Samba, the other six members of the board of directors are all Germanic.
After introducing his colleagues, Jeffries made a "invitation" gesture to Huang Zhigang and invited him and his representative members to enter the factory and start visiting.
Seeing several big shots walking in front, Zhao Guoyang gradually slowed down and walked with the members of Songqi Group.
Seeing this, Zhong Bo and Chen Bin hurriedly ran away for a few steps and walked in a row with Zhao Guoyang.
"Researcher Zhao, Mr. Aiton, who is in charge of product development, I know..." Chen Bin said.
After hearing Chen Bin's words, Zhao Guoyang cast an inquiring gaze at him and asked, "Minister Chen, after you say it seems that Mr. Aiton is very famous?"
"Yes, Researcher Zhao!"
Chen Bin whispered, "Mr. Aiton, who was previously the deputy director of the Technical Department of the German Volkswagen Headquarters, enjoys a high reputation in the industry. Several of the popular vehicles of the Volkswagen Group were from his hands."
"Um." Zhao Guoyang nodded when he heard this, saying that he already knew.
He is not timid about Ayton, a skilled master.
The reason is very simple. Zhao Guoyang was originally an expert in this industry, and now he still has rich knowledge decades ahead of him. Even when facing the best car designers of this era, he is confident that he will crush him, not to mention that this Ayton is just a top designer of Volkswagen.
In terms of model design, Volkswagen is definitely not the best in the world. Whether it is the Ferrari or Maserati, it must be above Volkswagen in body design.
After seeing Zhao Guoyang, he seemed to have nothing to say about "worshiping the great gods" after seeing the great gods in the industry, Chen Bin next to him was a little surprised.
However, he knew Zhao Guoyang's level in the automotive field, so he didn't say much.
In Chen Bin's opinion, it is natural for young people to have some arrogance.
Or, it is also possible that Comrade Xiao Zhao doesn't know how awesome Mr. Aiton is.
After a while, I arrived at the development department of this Latin American automobile company and saw the new car that was being developed, Xiao Zhao might have changed his opinion.
Under the leadership of Jeffries, everyone first visited the first complete workshop of the Ancetta factory.
Looking at the assembly line, the golf series from assembly to finishing the finished product at an extremely fast speed, the delegation was filled with praise.
Among them, after seeing the speed of the assembly line, Mao Zhichun felt even more moved and sighed that he was not as good as that.
As the chairman of Songqi Group, Mao Zhichun is still very clear about his own situation.
He knew that although Songqi Group had also implemented the production process of the full assembly line, according to the advanced level of the existing two production lines, it would be far behind to reach the speed of the other person's assembly line.
"Mayor Huang, Mr. Mao, the golf you see now is the best-selling model of our Volkswagen Latin America company. Basically, in Latin America, our monthly sales are about 30,000 units!" Derek, who is in charge of sales, said showing off.
"Thirty thousand units! This is almost up to the annual sales of our Songqi Group Santana..." Mao Zhichun couldn't help but exclaim.
"Haha, this is just a calculation of the sales volume in Latin America. In fact, the golf series produced by our Latin American company are also sold in North America and Oceania, but the sales volume is not as large as that of Latin America."
"Wow, if all these markets are added up, your company's sales in one month would be too amazing!" Teng Fei couldn't help but exclaim in a flattering tone.
Zhao Guoyang from the rear heard this and looked at Teng Fei with a little displeasure.
In his opinion, as a translator, this guy said something just now a bit out of line.
Fortunately, he communicated with others in Germanic language. If he spoke Chinese, I believe Mayor Huang and Chairman Mao would not give him a good look.
Just when Zhao Guoyang secretly complained about Teng Fei, someone answered his words.
"Haha, Mr. Teng is right. In fact, our Latin American company in Volkswagen Group has not met the achievements it has made. In the past six months, we have been developing a new generation of golf. It is estimated that the first round of trial production will be possible in less than a few months."
"After the launch of the new golf, our golf series will continue to maintain its dominant position in Latin America and Africa. Perhaps, the scope will be further expanded."
This is naturally Aiton, who is in charge of technology.
Judging from the pride on this face, he is still very confident in this new golf in his R&D department.
"Haha, Mr. Aiton's authority in technology is world-class. The new products you lead in research and development will definitely not be bad! If it weren't for you, our Songqi Group wouldn't have come to your company for help, and we would have to improve the Santana model." Teng Fei added another sentence.
When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he couldn't help it.
He stepped forward a few steps, and said to Teng Fei with a cold face in front of Huang Zhigang and Mao Zhichun, "Teng Translator, please pay attention to your position. You are a member of our Chinese delegation. In addition, your job is a translator. Some things you shouldn't say are not. Please don't talk nonsense."
"There is a public opinion on which of the two cars, Golf or Santana, is better, and it's not your turn to draw a conclusion."
