Chapter 471 Wei Yan Plans to Join the US Federal Reserve, and Pilot Auto Is Influencing the World

"Manager, I want to resign."

"I really can't do it anymore, manager. I've been working for two days and I don't have any customers. I can't survive with just the basic salary."

"Yes, manager, either give us a raise or we can only change jobs. You see, I really can't survive."

Shencheng BMW 4S store.

Led by the gold medal sales champion, a dozen salesmen walked into the general manager's office aggressively, wanting to ask for an explanation.

If the previous performance was not good, it might be their own problem.

Because the BMW brand has no shortage of purchasing users, any prospective car owner who has made a little money and wants to buy a car will give priority to high-end brands such as BBA, and BBA is indeed an asset card.

Those who can afford Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi at least have a million-dollar house at home and a stable job with a monthly income of over 10,000.

This is why many gold-digging women like to see what kind of car "Kaizi" drives. When they see someone driving a Lamborghini, McLaren or Maybach, they will take the initiative to stick to him. They are not attracted by the car, but the assets behind it.

But now the sales can't sell the car, it's not that they don't work hard, but after making hundreds of calls, no customer is willing to come to the store for a test drive, and the feedback they got is basically that they went to the next door Linghang Automobile 4S store.

The price is 209,000, the performance of the million-dollar luxury car, the key endurance is not inferior to the oil car, even the charging time only takes 20 minutes, and the premium version only takes 7 minutes, completely crushing the fuel car.

Huang Zihao, the manager of the BMW 4S store, looked at the aggressive sales and stood up and comforted: "We have contacted the headquarters, and I believe there will be a response strategy soon. Don't worry, just wait patiently."

"Wait? How long do you have to wait?"

Li Shuo was not happy. As the sales champion, he has been earning a super high salary of more than 100,000 yuan per month in the past six months. If he is asked to return to the days of a basic salary of 2,500, he will definitely not do it.

Just after he finished speaking, he continued: "Normally, if we make ten calls, at least one person will come to the store to test drive the car. Now no one comes to test drive the car. Manager, you must give us a definite answer whether the guaranteed salary this month can be paid enough."

His request is actually very simple. The problem of not being able to sell cars now is not his problem, but the problem of the BMW brand.

If there is no corresponding compensation, he would rather change jobs directly.

Of course.

He actually still holds hope.

He thinks that the BMW Group must have a big trick, such as price reduction and promotion, and he may be able to make hundreds of thousands of dollars at that time.

"Yeah, how long do we have to wait?"

"Manager, you have to give me a definite answer. If we can't sell the cars, we will have to starve. You also know the cost of living in Shenzhen. You can't survive without a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan."

"I need 1,000 yuan to rent a house. If I only get a base salary of 2,500 yuan, the remaining 1,500 yuan is not enough for food."

"That's right."

Because of the sales champion leading the way, the salesmen are also particularly tough. If they are all fired, this 4S store will not be able to operate.

"Alas!"

Huang Zihao sighed.

He spread his hands and said helplessly: "I can understand your feelings, but there is nothing we can do about it. Let's do this. I will tell the boss that I will give you a subsidy of 1,000 yuan this month. You go back and wait."

When the 1,000 yuan salary subsidy was taken out, some salesmen were shaken immediately, but they all looked at Li Shuo, the gold medal sales champion. They dared to express their opinions only when the leader said yes.

"1,000 yuan is too little, let's say 1,500 yuan. There are sixteen of us, and it's less than 30,000 yuan. Manager, if you say it's okay, then we will go back to work. If not, we can only resign."

Li Shuo continued to fight for it.

"Okay, you go back first." Although Huang Zihao was unhappy, he still agreed. 4S stores cannot be without sales, especially a gold medal sales champion like Li Shuo.

Many people have never worked in sales and don't know the status of sales champions.

Let's put it this way, as long as you lock in the sales champion this month, even if you say you don't go to work, the company won't say anything, and even full attendance will be counted for you exactly.

Because the value brought by a sales champion is millions.

Using a cost of hundreds of thousands to leverage millions of profits, if you are the boss, would you be willing to let such a talent go?

Obviously.

It's impossible to let him go.

As long as he doesn't kill or set fire to people, or do something illegal or criminal, the leaders basically turn a blind eye to what the sales champion does.

"Then we'll wait for a month, and I hope the headquarters can give a response strategy as soon as possible." After Li Shuo expressed his position, other salesmen echoed.

"That's right, we'll wait another month."

"I've worked in our company for three years. I really don't want to change jobs. I hope to make adjustments as soon as possible."

"Then let's go back first, manager."

The salesmen came and went quickly, leaving Huang Zihao with a sad face, opening WeChat back and forth to check if there was any new news.

Although he is a manager and does not need to rely on commissions to make a living, if the BMW 4S store goes bankrupt, he will also lose his job.

After a few seconds of silence, he sighed and said with emotion: "When the gods fight, mortals suffer, when the gods fight, mortals suffer!"

...

At the same time.

On the other side.

The Munich headquarters of the BMW Group.

In the conference room, Kang Siyuan, general manager of BMW Longguo, glanced at all the senior executives of the BMW Group and told the story of the difficulties encountered in the Longguo market with great emotion.

“Since Chen Xing held the new car launch of Linghang 001 on February 5, our BMW sales in the Longguo market have experienced a serious decline. In the past ten days alone, passenger traffic has dropped by 95%, and only 114 units have been sold in dealer stores across the country. For trucks, I think the headquarters must provide greater support to the Longguo market.”

"Wow——"

The words just fell.

The conference room was in an uproar.

No one expected that the sales volume in Longguo Market would decline so severely, it could almost be said to be a decapitation-like decline.

BMW Group CEO Nagel was also shocked. He was at the launch of Praetor 001 and experienced the shock that Praetor 001 brought to him.

But he really never thought that Pilot 001 would have such a great influence.

Only 114 cars were sold in ten days. Assuming that each car can earn 50,000 yuan, that is, a net profit of more than 5 million yuan.

For ordinary people, more than 5 million is an astronomical figure.

But for the BMW Group, the net profit of more than 5 million is so small that it can be described as piecemeal.

You must know that BMW has hundreds of 4S stores in Longguo. This is equivalent to 10 days. Each store only sells one car, which is probably not enough to pay the basic salary of its employees.

"How did it fall so badly?"

"What kind of monster is Pilot 001? How come it has such a huge impact? Is it possible that electric vehicles are a trend?"

"Why does our group have no electric vehicle project? I need an explanation!"

"Give me an explanation!"

There are not only BMW Group executives but also shareholders behind the scenes in the conference room. Now they all feel that their interests have been harmed and need Nagel to give an explanation.

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Nagel took a deep breath and explained the reason for not developing electric vehicles: "Although electric vehicles have simple structures and low manufacturing costs, we do not have the corresponding lithium battery technology in reserve."

"Everyone must know that once the electrolyte leaks or the diaphragm of a lithium battery is damaged, it will easily spontaneously ignite. Vehicles are dangerous means of transportation, so we have not considered research and development in the direction of electric energy."

"Then why do they focus on this direction?"

Some shareholders asked.

"This is something we didn't expect." Nagel sighed and said in a deep voice: "We thought there would be no major breakthroughs in lithium battery technology in the next 30 years, but Longxing Group has successively launched polymer semi-solid and sulfide all-solid-state batteries, which has led to today’s situation.”

No one expected that all-solid-state lithium batteries would suddenly come out.

This is not only a milestone in the energy field, but also an epoch-making work in the automotive field, because electric vehicles are indeed more environmentally friendly and intelligent than fuel vehicles.

"It's useless to talk so much. Now I need support from the headquarters." Kang Siyuan looked at Nagel and said solemnly with his eyes burning.

He not only represents an individual, but also represents hundreds of dealers in Dragon Kingdom.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only lower the price." Nagel shook his head helplessly.

He tried to join forces with Masik and jointly sued Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company for monopoly, but was easily resolved by others, and it was also revealed that a Pilot 001 car could earn 30,000 yuan.

When there is a net profit and there is no legal control, the price of the car is determined internally by the car company.

But there is an unspoken rule, that is, you cannot suppress at a loss.

If you sell a car that costs 170,000 yuan for only 150,000 yuan, then the State Administration for Market Regulation will definitely come to understand the situation, because this is suspected of disrupting market prices and is detrimental to long-term development.

"Price reduction?"

"Why can't the vehicle configuration be improved?"

Some shareholders continued to ask questions.

Although the BMW Group is a car-making company, not all shareholders are concerned about car-making. Some of them are purely venture capital banks.

This is like Chen Xing investing in MiHoYo and betting on Honor of Kings. He doesn't care about how these games are operated to make money. He only cares about how much profit these investment projects can bring to him.

In response to shareholders' questions, Nagel patiently replied: "We need the BMW 3 Series to achieve the performance of the M4 for acceleration of 100 meters in 2.81 seconds. 200,000 dragons cannot do it at all. A 3.0 six-cylinder twin-turbo engine can The cost price is only 320,000 dragons. Now we can only rely on the brand effect to slowly stabilize the market. "

When it comes to performance, BMW really can't compare.

Because the engine uses chemical energy, that is, by burning gasoline and diesel, it explodes the energy contained inside, and finally converts it into mechanical energy to propel the car forward.

The motor is different, it directly uses the internal power of the lithium battery to drive.

When it comes to conversion, it means energy loss, and energy loss means weakened power. This is why electric vehicles have better acceleration and torque than fuel vehicles.

"How much?"

Kang Siyuan asked.

"Cut off 90% of profits and withdraw funds first." Nagel came up with a bold idea.

Now the shareholders couldn't sit still, and someone immediately questioned: "Do you want to dump all the vehicles in stock to raise funds?"

"What if?"

Nagle asked rhetorically.

Now the Pilot 001 is coming in force. If the inventory is not cleared in time, a large number of existing cars may be lost.

The Longguo market is not the most critical yet. If Linghang 001 has overcapacity, it will definitely move towards the international market to use a larger market to absorb production capacity.

This means that there is not much time left for the BMW Group.

Everyone in the conference room was silent. No one expected that their century-old car company would be overturned by a joint venture brand that was established less than 2 years ago. This is a great shame.

But they have no way out, because commercial competition is king.

If you have strength, let alone a century-old car company, even a thousand-year-old car company or a ten-thousand-year-old car company can be overturned.

Seeing that everyone in the conference room was silent, Nagel also made a decision: "Then it's decided. First, clear out the inventory cars and recover funds to deal with the future situation."

"It can only be done this way."

"Just do as you say."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

No one knows what else Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company are hiding. Now the last resort is to recover funds and wait for the storm.

Not only the BMW Group, but also the Mercedes-Benz Group, Audi Group, General Motors Group and Ford Group's cars with a price of more than 150,000 have experienced a decline in sales during this period.

Like mobile phones, cars have market segment divisions.

For example, cars priced between 30,000 and 80,000 yuan are basically Laotoule and Wuling Hongguang, which is the bottom of the market. Car owners in this price range will not buy a 200,000 yuan coupe.

1. They don’t have money.

2. They don’t need it.

80,000 to 150,000 yuan is the sinking market for cars. Cars in this price range are mainly used for daily transportation, and there is basically no performance to talk about.

For cars above 150,000 yuan, it can gradually talk about performance, such as zero-to-hundred acceleration, shock absorption and wind resistance.

The price of 209,000 yuan for the standard version of Linghang 001 will not affect the car buyers below 150,000 yuan, nor will it affect the sales volume of the corresponding vehicles.

Among hundreds of large and small car companies in the world, only General Motors Group can still barely breathe, because it holds 44% of Wuling Hongguang, and Wuling Hongguang, a magical car brand, focuses on cars below 100,000 yuan.

…

If we want to say the worst in this round of impact, it must be Japanese cars.

The main feature of Japanese cars is fuel saving and low cost of use, while the main feature of electric cars is also low cost of use.

Let’s not talk about the maintenance of the engine and motor, just talking about gasoline and electricity, which one is cheaper?

You can tell with your butt that except for the oil-rich countries, electricity in other countries is definitely cheaper than gasoline, this is beyond doubt.

In just ten days, Nissan Motor Group, Mitsubishi Group, Honda Group and Toyota Group frequently adjusted their strategies.

Originally, they thought of moving their factories to Southeast Asian countries, and they were sure that the Dragon Country market would continue to import Japanese cars, but now they are confused, fuel cars are not popular, and the plan to build a car factory in Southeast Asia has been shelved.

Not only that, the automobile sector of Japanese stocks has also fluctuated.

Even as strong as Wall Street, it almost couldn’t withstand the selling pressure of investors in the island country.

Not only Japanese stocks, but also stock markets around the world have set off shocks in the automobile sector. The automobile sector of the German stock market has even seen a 12% drop, far exceeding everyone’s expectations.

Corresponding to this is the rise of lithium batteries and the electricity sector.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Linghang 001 has not stepped out of the country, its influence has already emerged.

At this time, the Wall Street tycoon, Buffett, once again swung his butcher knife to the stock markets of other countries, aiming at the automobile sector.

Not only Buffett, but other financial tycoons have shown their fangs.

Chen Xing's reshuffle gave them an opportunity to reach out to the stock markets of other countries and reap wealth.

But the money they earned did not go into their pockets, but was invested in US stocks, following the Jewish family to support the Dow Jones Index.

If Nasdaq represents the high technology of the United States, then the Dow Jones is a microcosm of the manufacturing and oil industries of the United States.

They will not let the US economy fall to the bottom, because Jewish capital needs the shelter of this powerful country.

If they lose the shelter, they may embark on a wandering life again.

At Double Fund Management, Wei Yan, who is dressed in a loose suit, has a shiny hair, and looks like an American elite, is holding a cup of coffee and quietly watching the fluctuations of US stocks.

Since he had "returned to his roots" and became a recognized Asian Jew, he successfully entered the Jewish core circle.

After entering the core circle, he found that the world was too dark.

In the perception of previous investors, the United States has very strong financial supervision and has a complete system of joint responsibility and compensation.

In 2001, Enron, the world's largest energy service and management company and the world's seventh largest, was suspended from trading stocks due to financial fraud. It assisted in fraud and the sponsor was fined a total of 7.7 billion US dollars.

What is the concept of 7.7 billion US dollars?

In 2001, Buffett's net worth was only 18 billion US dollars. Now his net worth has increased sixfold, which is equivalent to 7.7 billion US dollars. The value is at least 6 times now, equivalent to 46.2 billion US dollars, and a fine of 270 billion Dragon National Currency. It is conceivable how huge this is. astronomical figure.

But Wei Yan gradually discovered that Enron was actually a pawn, a pawn sacrificed by Jewish capital.

As for the $7.7 billion fine, it was just a gimmick to attract international capital.

As we all know, the US stock market experienced a severe decline in 2000 when the US Internet bubble burst, and once fell by more than 30%. It also fell in 2001, falling by 17% in just half a year.

Since the United States is a financial country, in this market situation, Jewish capital and Ansa Capital reached a consensus and made a bold decision, which was to push Enron to death in exchange for the trust of international funds.

Because the most important thing in the stock market is the confidence of shareholders. As long as the confidence of shareholders can be restored, the decline can be reversed.

Enron became a sacrificial pawn, and the sponsoring institutions also became victims.

Their sacrifice also allowed the world to see the strength of US financial supervision and "fairness and justice".

As the Enron case was settled, US stocks started to soar and went through a bull market for more than ten years.

And Enron did not disappear, it just changed its name, and all its previous businesses were accepted by Global Fuel Services, which was equivalent to a dead shell.

As Wei Yan entered the core circle, a large number of unknown secrets were known to him, in addition to the inside story of Enron's sacrifice, there was also the continuous falsification of US economic data.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the data disclosed by the United States now are artificially controlled.

The reason why Wei Yan knew so much was because Davic, the future successor of the Federal Reserve, wanted to use Wei Yan's prestige in the Chinese community to make him responsible for the falsification of economic data in the United States, deceive Chinese Americans into investing in Nasdaq, and finally act as a buyer.

"Dongdong--"

While Wei Yan was watching the stock market fluctuations, his office door was knocked.

It was none other than Davic, the successor of the Federal Reserve and the future patriarch of the Rothschild family.

"What's the matter?"

Davic closed the door and got straight to the point.

Wei Yan put down the coffee cup, opened the drawer and took out a document and said: "The consumption index has been made into a growth trend chart according to your requirements, and my agency has made an investigation guarantee. As long as our consumption data in the United States is good, there is no need to cut interest rates to stimulate the economy."

"Well done."

Davic picked up the document and checked it.

After a simple reading, he had to admit that Wei Yan was a talent.

He did not blindly grow, but followed the economic data he got, such as non-agricultural employment, average wage annual rate, CPI and other data to make follow-up predictions, and marked the time when the stock market could fluctuate and harvest.

"Let my institution come forward. The more retail investors are killed, the more dangerous I will be. Maybe I should pack up and move to another place."

Wei Yan suddenly spoke.

Davic also understood what he meant, and smiled and said, "I won't treat you unfairly. When you trick someone into taking over, you can go directly to the Federal Reserve to work as an economic analyst."

"Thank you in advance."

Wei Yan showed a happy face and hurriedly thanked him.

Joining the Federal Reserve means that he can access more core information and collect more evidence. When the time is right, he can give the United States a little financial shock.

Wei Yan calculated in his heart, and Davic also had his own ideas.

He actually didn't fully trust Wei Yan, because he was a yellow man. Even if the Bible did record that a Jewish group went to the East, he still remained highly vigilant.

During this period of time, he had intentionally or unintentionally revealed the news that the US Federal Reserve would raise interest rates, but he did not find anything unusual about Wei Yan. He still ate, drank, and looked for supermodels.

This time, asking him to give the growth trend of the consumer index based on other economic data was also a test for him, because Davic did not intend to adopt Wei Yan's growth trend. What he had to do now was to keep a close eye on the undercurrents under the water. Once there was anything unusual, Wei Yan would be a suspicious object.

"Dongdong--"

Someone knocked on the door again.

The next second.

A female assistant wearing black stockings with hips and surging waves pushed the door in and quickly said: "Manager, Mr. Huang..."

She saw Davic and quickly swallowed her words back.

"Mr. Huang, right? I see, you go out and entertain first, I'll come later." Wei Yan waved his hand and motioned to go out.

"Okay."

The black stocking assistant twisted her hips and left.

As soon as the office door was closed, Wei Yan stood up and said, "Bosco Wong, the richest Chinese in New York City, I believe you should have an impression of Mr. Davic. He came to my house several times, just to ask me to do fund management."

"I have an impression. Since you are busy, I will not bother you."

"Then we will talk in detail next time."

"Let's talk next time."

The two smiled and shook hands politely. Under the seemingly calm appearance, they were actually thinking about eight hundred things.
