An excerpt characterizing Renault Nissan (alliance)
During my “walks” I met many different, wonderful visitors who came to visit the Holy Pope. These were cardinals and some very high-ranking persons unfamiliar to me (which I judged by their clothes and how proudly and independently they behaved with the others). But after they left the Pope’s chambers, all these people no longer looked as confident and independent as they had before visiting the reception... After all, for Caraffa, as I already said, it didn’t matter who the person standing in front of him was, the only important one for the Pope it was HIS WILL. And nothing else mattered. Therefore, I very often saw very “shabby” visitors, fussily trying to leave the “biting” Papal chambers as quickly as possible...On one of the same, absolutely identical “gloomy” days, I suddenly decided to do something that had been haunting me for a long time - to finally visit the ominous Papal cellar... I knew that this was probably “fraught with consequences,” but the anticipation of danger was a hundred times worse than the danger itself.
And I decided...
Going down the narrow stone steps and opening the heavy, sadly familiar door, I found myself in a long, damp corridor that smelled of mold and death... There was no lighting, but move on a lot of work didn’t deliver, since I’ve always been good at navigating in the dark. Many small, very heavy doors sadly alternated one after another, completely lost in the depths of the gloomy corridor... I remembered these gray walls, I remembered the horror and pain that accompanied me every time I had to return from there... But I ordered myself to be strong and don't think about the past. She told me to just go.
Finally, the creepy corridor ended... Having looked carefully into the darkness, at the very end I immediately recognized a narrow iron door, for which my innocent husband once died so brutally... my poor Girolamo. And behind which eerie human groans and screams were usually heard... But that day for some reason the usual sounds were not heard. Moreover, behind all the doors there was a strange, dead silence... I almost thought that Karaffa had finally come to his senses! But she immediately caught herself - Dad was not one of those who calmed down or suddenly became kinder. It’s just that, at the beginning, he brutally tortured him in order to find out what he wanted, later he apparently completely forgot about his victims, leaving them (like waste material!) at the “mercy” of the executioners who tormented them...
Carefully approaching one of the doors, I quietly pressed the handle - the door did not budge. Then I began to feel it blindly, hoping to find an ordinary bolt. The hand came across a huge key. Turning it, the heavy door crawled inside with a grinding sound... Carefully entering the torture room, I felt for the extinguished torch. There was no flint, to my great regret.
“Look a little to the left...” a weak, exhausted voice suddenly rang out.
I shuddered in surprise - there was someone in the room!.. Fumbling along the left wall with my hand, I finally found what I was looking for... In the light of a lit torch, large, wide-open, cornflower blue eyes were shining right in front of me... Leaning against the cold stone wall, sat an exhausted man, chained with wide iron chains... Unable to get a good look at his face, I brought the fire closer and recoiled in surprise - on the dirty straw, all smeared with his own blood, sat... a cardinal! And by his rank, I immediately understood that he was one of the highest-ranking, closest to the Holy Pope. What prompted the “holy father” to treat his possible successor so cruelly?!.. Did Caraffa even treat “his own” with the same cruelty?..
– Are you very ill, Your Eminence? “How can I help you?” I asked, looking around in confusion.
I was looking for at least a sip of water to give the unfortunate man a drink, but there was no water anywhere.
“Look in the wall... There’s a door... They keep wine there for themselves...”, as if guessing my thoughts, the man whispered quietly.
I found the indicated cabinet - there was indeed a bottle stored there, which smelled of mold and cheap, sour wine. The man did not move, I carefully lifted him by the chin, trying to give him a drink. The stranger was still quite young, about forty to forty-five. And very unusual. He resembled a sad angel, tortured by animals who called themselves “men”... His face was very thin and delicate, but very regular and pleasant. And on this strange face, like two stars, bright cornflower blue eyes glowed with inner strength... For some reason, he seemed familiar to me, but I just couldn’t remember where and when I could have met him.
The stranger groaned quietly.
- Who are you, Monseigneur? How can I help you? – I asked again.
“My name is Giovanni... you don’t need to know anything else, Madonna...” the man said hoarsely. -Who are you? How did you get here?
“Oh, this is a very long and sad story...” I smiled. – My name is Isidora, and you also have no need to know more, Monseigneur...
- Do you know how to leave here, Isidora? – the cardinal smiled in response. - Somehow you ended up here?
“Unfortunately, they don’t leave here so easily,” I answered sadly. “My husband couldn’t, at least... And my father only reached the fire.”
Giovanni looked at me very sadly and nodded, showing that he understood everything. I tried to give him the wine I found, but nothing worked - he was unable to take even the slightest sip. Having “looked” at him in my own way, I realized that the poor fellow’s chest was badly damaged.
The effective share of the Renault-Nissan alliance in the capital of AVTOVAZ exceeded 50%, the share of Rostec decreased to 24.5%, the Vedomosti newspaper reports. The alliance gained control over AVTOVAZ thanks to the concentration in its hands of 67.13% of shares in the Dutch company Alliance Rostec Auto BV, which owns 81.447% of ordinary shares and 47% preferred shares Volzhsky Automobile Plant. Rostec's share in the capital of Alliance Rostec Auto decreased to 32.87%.
The deal was completed on June 18, Renault-Nissan President Carlos Ghosn told Vedomosti. According to him, the completion of the transaction will not change the strategy of the enterprise - it will continue to be a platform for the production of cars from both Lada and alliance brands.
Earlier, Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov spoke about the possibility of liquidating Alliance Rostec Auto BV and switching to direct ownership of AVTOVAZ shares.
“The Dutch offshore has actually already been liquidated; this company does not manage financial flows. It was created solely for administrative management. Since the Dutch offshore practically does not exist, we will re-register here in Russia,” Chemezov said in May 2014.
At yesterday's meeting of AVTOVAZ shareholders and the first meeting of the renewed board of directors, the liquidation of the joint venture was not discussed. A Rostec representative clarified that the joint venture will exist until 2016.
The main task of AVTOVAZ President Bo Andersson, according to Ghosn, will be to increase sales and market share of Lada cars and maintain the brand's leadership in the Russian automobile market.
The day before he announced that the release LADA cars Priora will continue until 2018, so a number of improvements will be made to the model.
“LADA Priora has its own consumers who respect this car and are not going to give it up. For them, we are preparing a car update program, which has received the code name Long Life. Now we are forming full list changes and are clarifying production volumes for the next four years,” said Nikolay Fofanov, director of the LADA Priora project.
AVTOVAZ plans to redesign the bumper and lighting equipment of the Priora, the steering wheel will receive electric heating, and new upholstery materials will be used in the cabin. The controllability of LADA Priora will be more high level, thanks to suspension settings similar to the Granta liftback in the luxury version. Gas-filled struts will be installed, negative camber angle rear wheels, new stabilizers and other equipment. In addition, LADA Priora will have vacuum booster increased dimensions and new pads, modified to eliminate squeaking.
It was previously reported that at the end of 2015. AVTOVAZ will begin mass production Lada sedans Vesta, which will replace the family Lada Priora. The choice of name at AVTOVAZ is explained by the fact that the Slavic name Vesta is associated with home, comfort, spring and the renewal of nature.
French automobile manufacturer Renault group based on the results of 2013 recorded a net loss of 34 million euros from participation in OJSC. A year earlier, participation in the capital of AVTOVAZ brought Renault a profit of 186 million euros.
The Renault-Nissan alliance is now called Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi. Carlos Ghosn announced this today at a presentation new strategy, designed for six years - until 2022. Company name Mitsubishi Motors(MMC), of which the alliance has a 34% stake, is included in the official name, and the logo with two yellow-red lines is transformed into a certain geometric figure with three peaks.
Old alliance logo
However, this is more of an advance. The official organizational structure on the alliance website has not undergone any changes: Mitsubishi is subordinate to Nissan, which organizes the group on a parity basis with Renault (50/50%). Moreover, the company responsible for the work of the alliance, registered in Amsterdam, is still legally called Renault-Nissan B.V.
Structure of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance
As for the keynote speech itself, Carlos Ghosn first of all recalled that in the first half of 2017, the alliance took first place in the world in car sales: 5 million 270 thousand cars and light commercial vehicles. The plan is to increase annual sales to 14 million vehicles and revenue to $240 billion by 2022, compared to last year’s $180 billion.
Carlos Ghosn
To this end, the alliance companies will release 40 new models, of which 12 will be purely electric, and one will be completely autonomous. Thanks to the introduction of a common electric cart and platform for mid-size cars, the number of cars built on shared modular platforms will increase from two to nine million per year. By 2020, access to common modular platforms Mitsubishi will also receive: the total cost savings from the alliance should be $11.9 billion.
These are the goals as a first approximation. More detailed and specific plans will be announced at conferences of each of the alliance members. By right of seniority, Renault will be the first to hold such a meeting on October 6.
