Chapter 569
On the straight driveway, Siebel's latest T1 lizard, roaring like a wild horse, quickly slid across the driveway with a huge roar. In less than a few tens of seconds, the sports car rushed to the other end of the driveway.
After going back and forth, the big lizard wiped a car mark on the ground and stopped. Gallo was full of excitement. When Zhou Bailin got out of the car, his face was pale and his steps were sloppy. He probably had a psychological shadow on the car. up.
"This thing is really not for people to sit on!"
Zhou Bailin breathed a sigh of relief, looking at this Sibel sports car, his eyes were a bit wrong, he really didn't understand who would ride this thing, he really had no sense of experience, the car ran in front, and the soul flew behind !
Seeing Zhou Bailin's expression, Gallo burst out laughing, "This T1 Lizard, priced at $6 million by Siebel, is the top sports car in the world. After the exhibition, I don't know how many people want to buy it, but they can't buy it. arrive!"
Hearing that this iron lump costs 6 million U.S. dollars, which is nearly 50 million in RMB, Zhou Guochang and Li Shilin all looked dull. How dare they sell 50 million for this crap?
Zhou Guochang lived in the metal products family courtyard community, how much is it worth? Even if several buildings in the entire community are sold, it is estimated that it will not be sold for less than 50 million yuan.
"Siebel T1 pre-sale is good?" Song Yang asked Gallo after listening to him.
Gallo nodded, and said with a little satisfaction, "This sports car will participate in the tour of major American auto shows in the near future, and will also be exhibited and promoted overseas. There are already several interested users who want to order the T1 Lizard !"
Song Yang looked at the sports car in front of him. Its streamlined shape and sci-fi concept shape really attracted the attention of big dogs. If it had a gold-plated casing and was brought to the Middle East, it might sell a few cars.
Just glanced at it, Song Yang didn't intend to go up and try it himself, the car is definitely still in the process of testing, constantly replacing various parts, who knows what will happen when it runs, it is obvious that the interior decoration has not been polished yet , When it is finalized and goes on sale, all the interior decorations must be replaced with high-end goods and luxury goods.
"Siebel, what do you want?"
Sit on the golf cart and head towards the club. Song Yang was in the car and asked Gallo. Siebel worked so hard to save such a car and sent it here from Houston all the way. It must not only be to let Song Yang took a look.
The current manager of Siebel Automobile, An Dulan, did not come in person, but asked Gallo to talk to Song Yang. Obviously, he wanted a lot of things.
Knowing that Song Yang couldn't be fooled, Gallo said directly, "Siebel needs more dollars to buy equipment and recruit personnel to speed up production capacity…"
Siebel Automobile does not have its own production line yet. Like this large lizard engine, it was designed by Siebel's designer and then entrusted to General Electric to manufacture it. Other core components are basically customized and finally assembled manually. up.
It sounds like Siebel Automobile was developed by itself, which sounds right, but in fact, the parts are basically entrusted to other auto manufacturers to complete, and then assembled by themselves. Most emerging sports car brands are played in this way.
Not only emerging sports car brands play like this, but also many old sports cars. Maserati uses Ferrari engines, Pagani and Aston Martin use Mercedes-Benz engines, and Audi, Lamborghini and Porsche "borrow" engines from each other. This is nothing new. thing.
In the sports car industry, in terms of engines, the most powerful are Ferrari and Lamborghini. Both of these two can really make their own engines. They really deserve to be from tractors back then...
Now, it is true that Siebel is an automobile exterior design company, but it is not shameful. After all, this is how it is played in the industry, and Siebel is not out of the ordinary.
Now Siebel, under the name of manual customization, manufactures and polishes some parts by himself, then designs custom engines, etc., and finally assembles them for sale.
For Siebel Automobile, they want to expand the number of people, expand the scale of the small workshop, and save a few more cars a year to sell. When the popularity and sales increase, they will start a production line!
"How much is it?!"
After getting off the golf cart, Song Yang picked up the baseball bat and played a few **** with the trainer. His level was the same as before... not so good. The level of this body was not top-notch. I haven't touched a baseball bat a few times, so it's no surprise that my skills are better.
It doesn't matter if the technique is good or not, the movement standard is enough. Anyway, even if the baseball league invites Song Yang to be a guest, it's basically just for show.
"boom"
Song Yang hit the golf ball with a baseball bat. Gallo found the right opportunity and came to Song Yang, "80 million US dollars, Anduran needs 80 million to 100 million US dollars!"
Hearing the price, Song Yang glanced at Gallo and threw the ball away again. Now that Song Yang knew that Anduran, the manager of the Siebel Automobile Club, why didn't he come in person? In front of him, Song Yang might hit a baseball bat instead of a ball, but someone who was overwhelmed by the sky. How dare he ask for money. A broken workshop dares to ask for 100 million dollars...
"Do you think Siebel is worth $100 million?"
If you want to know how much profit a sports car makes, take Ferrari as an example. Ferrari has actually been produced on a large scale, producing tens of thousands of cars a year. This is still the best time, and the profit of a Ferrari is only 23%. Around, the average price of a Ferrari is 400,000 dollars, and you can earn less than 100,000 dollars by selling one. This may not be as high as the outside world imagines, but compared with ordinary cars, it is more than several times higher.
Siebel's broken workshop, even if the profit is higher than that of Ferrari, it can reach more than 30%, that is, it can earn 1.8 million dollars by selling a car, which is actually impossible.
Even if one car can earn so much, if you want to earn back 100 million US dollars, you need to sell more than 60 cars. It's not that Song Yang can't trust Siebel, but how many people can be fooled by the current reputation of Siebel Automobile? , More than a dozen people have been taken advantage of, so to speak, if more than 60 T1 lizards were sold, it would be a bit of a lie.
Even if there are so many people who have been taken advantage of, it will take a lot of effort to produce more than 60 sports cars with hand-polished and assembled Siebel cars, let alone sell them, unless they are like accountant Jia who only brags and does not work, relying on Bragging can blow into Nasdaq and make money, even if it has been on Wall Street for many years, there is no such a number one person.
Gallo was full of embarrassment, deliberately defending Siebel Automobile, no, it was to persuade Song Yang, but he also felt that it was a bit too much to spend 100 million US dollars on Siebel Automobile, and the ghost knows that it will take a year to get back the money.
"But Siebel needs this money now. Without this money, Siebel would not be able to expand its production capacity. This is the best opportunity for car enthusiasts all over the world to know Siebel!" Gallo said to Song Yang.
Song Yang saw the look on Gallo's face. Song Yang hadn't seen Gallo's anxious look for many years. It is really too difficult for him to give up the things that he has been struggling with all this time.
"In the first phase, you can invest 50 million U.S. dollars for Siebel Automobile. This amount of money is not for Anduran to produce too many sports cars. I need him to establish a power system department for the Siebel Automobile Club!
He can recruit engine engineers from Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW, General Motors, etc., as long as he has that ability, if he wants the North American Global Investment Fund to invest in Siebel Auto, he must let Siebel Auto own its own The ability to build engines! "
Song Yang looked at Gallo and said, it is impossible for him to invest in an empty shelf. Even the liars in Silicon Valley have to build a website before they can deceive people. Entering, the ghost knows if it will suddenly be in vain.
100 million US dollars will definitely not be able to meet the needs of Siebel Automobile, and it will definitely need to continue to spend money in the future. Song Yang needs Siebel Automobile to produce something, such as engines, gearboxes, and central control systems. Just see something!
