Chapter 530: burn one's boats

Ask when you think of it,

Chen Yang stared at Huang Shan and said sternly, "It is not so difficult for a county-level agricultural machinery factory to obtain a motor vehicle manufacturing license. Has Director Qi ever told you how they did it? "

"Have,"

Huang Shan nodded, "At that time, the leader of Xijiang Agricultural Machinery Factory found the retired old factory manager for help. The old factory manager was a veteran. He had an old comrade in arms. in the team,

In this way, Xijiang Agricultural Machinery Factory first got on the line with the Second Automobile Works, got a spare parts production qualification, and then passed the Second Automobile. Automobile production qualification. "

Chen Yang pursed his lips and nodded slowly,

It sounds simple, but after three years, one can imagine how much work was done by the top and bottom of the agricultural machinery factory at that time.

Everyone knows about Jili Automobile, but few people know how Jili got the car production qualification.

According to regulations, Jili was not qualified to manufacture cars, but Boss Li took advantage of a loophole. He refused to make two-axle, sedan and five-seater cars. I also fought a trademark lawsuit with Toyota for a long time,

At that time, the Jilimeiri, which was priced at 39,900 yuan, was defined as a car that could not be driven, and this kind of car could not be used on the road without a "birth certificate".

In fact, it is similar to the old man Le Le later,

However, the price advantage and people's dream of car finally made Jili gain a firm foothold.

After more than three years of unremitting efforts and active struggle, finally in 2001, it successfully appeared on the automobile catalog published by the State Economic and Trade Commission.

This is also the beginning of Chinese private enterprises to build cars.

Xijiang County's three years of hard work may not be comparable to the hard work, but it is not necessarily easy.

At this time, Huang Shan sighed, and said with a little regret, "Unfortunately, shortly after obtaining the license, the agricultural machinery factory declared bankruptcy. All the previous efforts were in vain."

Chen Yang pursed his lips and didn't make a sound.

The inside story of the bankruptcy of the agricultural machinery factory is almost unknown to the older generation in Xijiang County.

Calculated in terms of time, the new leader of the agricultural machinery factory passed in 1995, two years before the company went bankrupt.

Not only that, before the farm machinery factory went bankrupt, they also got a loan of 8 million yuan from the bank, but they declared bankruptcy within two months after getting the loan.

Before, many people didn’t understand how they could get so much money when they were about to go bankrupt. After all, the financial system is relatively independent.

Another, since the agricultural machinery factory had already borrowed 8 million yuan, why did it go bankrupt so quickly?

Heh, it seems that the bank was also tricked by someone at that time.

With the certificate of automobile manufacturing license, if there is a place to say hello, the leaders in the bank can explain the past to the above, so naturally they turn a blind eye and close one eye.

It's a pity that those people who cheated the bank and the whole Xijiang River at that time continued to do harm in another place, and they seemed to be rising steadily.

It's outrageous.

Chen Yang rubbed his chin, turned to look at Huang Shan, "The agricultural machinery factory has gone bankrupt, can this manufacturing qualification be retained?"

Huang Shan smiled and said, "Although Xijiang County Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. declared bankruptcy, they only applied for bankruptcy protection and did not completely liquidate the company.

Moreover, those who once worked in the agricultural machinery factory and later transferred to the county government or even the city government are also trying to find ways to keep this qualification.

Ten years later, an agricultural machinery factory that has never produced a car and even lost its employees still retains this qualification, which is so amazing! "

Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help laughing twice,

This is the reality, it is human nature, reasonable!

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of water, Chen Yang asked again, "Then, what does Director Qi mean when he told you this?"

Huang Shan pursed her lips, looked at him seriously and said,

"This is the second thing I want to tell you. Don't we have a future maker space in Xijiang? Just two days ago, Director Qi submitted an automobile company startup plan to the Xijiang Future maker space. Plan!"

"what?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, "He mentioned it? He wants to start his own business?"

Huang Shan pursed her lips and nodded slowly, "Xijiang knew about his situation, so they naturally transferred his proposal to me. I contacted him directly to learn about the inside information."

Chen Yang was a little speechless, "He is almost fifty years old, what kind of business is he doing?!"

He is a 50-year-old old man, but he wants to run out to start a business, even though he has a good leadership establishment, isn't this a death sentence!

Compilation is the end of the universe!

Huang Shan shrugged and said helplessly, "I also asked him what he thought, and he just said one thing,"

Seeing Chen Yang's inquiring gaze, Huang Shan sighed, "He said he has already resigned!"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you want to resign?"

Huang Shan nodded lightly, "I've confirmed, it's indeed resignation."

Chen Yang smacked his lips,

I really can't tell, Director Qi is quite determined,

Most people in the general system will choose to stay without pay if they go to sea. If they fail, even if they go back to sit on the bench, there is still a way to survive.

It's good for him to resign directly. This is a last-ditch fight, so he won't leave a way out for himself.

Seeing what Chen Yang was thinking, Huang Shan smiled and said,

"Director Qi is certainly determined, but he may not have no way out, so you don't need to give him sympathy points."

"Um?"

Chen Yang raised his head and looked at her, blinking for no reason,

Huang Shan said seriously, "Two days is enough for us to understand a lot of things.

As far as I know, after the Xijiang County Agricultural Machinery Factory went bankrupt, all the workers accepted the end of buyout, and many members of the leadership team left.

But more factory leaders, especially those who joined the factory from the early days of the factory, have been properly arranged," he said.

Speaking of this, Huang Shan smiled meaningfully, "Director Qi was the vice chairman of the trade union and workshop director of Xijiang Agricultural Machinery Factory back then."

Chen Yang instantly understood,

Although the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, it still depends on who it is.

Those who can climb up to leadership positions, who don't know three or five people,

Pulling up at the critical moment can help them get out of the quagmire,

Chen Yang took a deep breath, looked at Huang Shan and smiled, "So, Director Qi went into the sea this time, not for himself, but for the entire old leadership group that survived the agricultural machinery factory?!"

Huang Shan smiled and nodded slightly.

Chen Yang couldn't help laughing dumbfounded,

That being the case, Director Qi really doesn't have to worry about the future. If his business plan is not approved by his side, he will probably go to work in the county or even in a certain unit in the city.

Although those people left in despair back then, but now ten years have passed, who knows what kind of environment they are in, for example, Director Qi is just doing well.

Seeing that Chen Yang understood, Huang Shan smiled and said, "Okay, that's the way it is, what's your opinion?"

Chen Yang pursed his lips, turned to look at her, "What do you think?"

Huang Shan did not hesitate, and immediately said, "Frankly speaking, it is not very attractive. If we could know the real situation of Xijiang Agricultural Machinery Factory before the acquisition of the new United Motor Company, we would invest 50 million US dollars to build a Xijiang Automobile production base, it is also possible,

However, now that we have completed our investment in Tesla, and besides Tesla, we do not have any other auto-related business segments, so it is meaningless to invest in another Xijiang Automobile Plant at this time. In addition, "

Speaking of this, Huang Shan raised her head slightly and looked into Chen Yang's eyes, "I have carefully read the business plan submitted by Director Qi, and frankly speaking, although it is quite satisfactory, it is nothing new.

He had a good idea, to learn from Qirui Automobile, to open up the market with miniature passenger cars first, and then gradually upgrade the models and even develop his own engine after the capital returns, "

Huang Shan spread her hands as she spoke,

"In fact, it is completely imitating Qirui and Jili, without any characteristics of its own.

That being the case, why should we invest in him? Wouldn't it be better to directly inject capital into Qirui and Jili Company! "

Today's Rainbow Valley Capital is no longer the Xiaoxiami of last year. At that time, even hundreds of millions of dollars were difficult to come up with at one time.

But it’s different now. The most important thing they need is money, and what they worry about is where to invest the money.

If you really want to invest in the auto industry, Qirui and Jili are undoubtedly the first choice. With the size of Honggu, as long as the other party really needs funds, they will probably not refuse.

Chen Yang rubbed his head, nodded slowly,

This is a pertinent statement from Huang Shan, business belongs to business, favors belong to favors, and business should not be disrupted for the sake of favors.

Immediately, she was ready to agree with Huang Shan's decision,

But at this moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "You said, besides Tesla, how about we invest in another new energy vehicle company in China?"

Huang Shan frowned slightly, and looked at him puzzled, "Vote for another family?"

After a pause, he said thoughtfully, "Could it be that you want to use the market differentiation method to carry out dislocation competition by referring to barley and Huahuo?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "I have a little consideration in this regard, but the most important thing is that I am worried that our status as Tesla shareholders will not be kept for too long!"

"what?"

Huang Shan looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Could it be that Rainbow Valley Capital, a subsidiary of Rainbow Financial Group, which is now famous, will also be kicked out? !

Chen Yang shrugged, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth,

"Tesla is just a small shrimp now, so it doesn't matter if we invest in shares, even if we occupy a high proportion of shares,

However, if one day Tesla becomes a new energy banner in the United States, or even the entire Western world, do you think there will be a place for us in their board of directors? ! "

Huang Shan stared blankly at Chen Yang, with a half-belief expression on her face, "It's just a car company, and it's not a major technological project, so why not!"

Chen Yang shrugged, leaned back on the sofa, looked at her and said with a smile,

"You forgot the book I recommended to you, rabble?!"

Huang Shan frowned, lowered her head to think, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head, "I see,"

Then he gestured, "New energy represents environmental protection, environmental protection represents the election platform, and the election platform represents votes. If you want votes, you need to fool, then,"

She paused and looked at Chen Yang blankly, "No matter what kind of company Tesla is, once it is used by American politicians, then this company can only become their tool.

At that time, American capital could enter, and European capital could also enter, but we could not! "

Chen Yang pursed his lips and smiled, pointing at her, "It seems that you read that book!"

Afterwards, Chen Yang said with a smile, "On the other hand, you just said that automobiles have nothing to do with our current business segment. I don't think this is correct."

"Uh?"

Huang Shan hadn't gotten out of the question just now, she couldn't help being a little dazed when she heard what Chen Yang said.

Chen Yang picked up the kettle, poured two glasses of water, and said with a smile,

"From the perspective of the traditional automobile industry, at least one automotive chip has something to do with us!"

Taking a sip of water from the teacup, looking at the thoughtful Huang Shan, Chen Yang continued,

"If you follow the concept of Internet cars, there are too many things related to us!"

"Internet car?"

As soon as Huang Shan picked up the cup, she turned to look at him, "Is it related to the Internet thinking you mentioned earlier?"

Chen Yang thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "It can be said, but it is not a thing. Internet thinking is a way of thinking, and Internet cars are the development direction of future cars."

Huang Shan stared at him blankly, even forgot to drink the tea she had brought.

"Don't you think you're going to build cars again?"

When she said this, she was silently complaining in her heart,

She was still talking about Xiaoyu before, if you have a yacht, you need an airplane, and after you have an airplane, you need an airport. One day, Xiaoyu will go to build rockets and space shuttles, rush out of the earth and fly to the stars,

It's good now, Xiaoyu's rocket hasn't been built yet, this boss who doesn't care about anything is going to build a car again,

Sure enough, it's not a worry-free master!

Chen Yang chuckled, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say now whether we will build cars or not. On the one hand, the technical conditions are immature; on the other hand, we can't find suitable people for the time being.

The Internet car is not just a car, nor is it just the Internet. If you want to understand the concept of the Internet car and transform it into a practical product, you must have superior thinking and strong execution.

You can look for such a person first, if there is a suitable one, then it is not impossible for us to intervene in this auto sector! "

Later, when the new car-making forces came out, the real estate, Internet, and electrical appliances sellers as long as they had some money, they all rushed to jump in.

If others can, so can he.

Huang Shan pouted, "I know that's the case."

Then he sighed, "Okay, I get it, I will pay attention to people first, but what are you going to do with Director Qi? Or, I just reject him?"

Chen Yang thought for a while, then waved his hand lightly, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll call him later."

After finishing speaking, he laughed again, "He didn't come to me directly, and he didn't come to you either. He meant that he hoped to be business-like, but the world is so sophisticated, there are so many business-like things. Even if he wants to refuse, I have to communicate with him. It is more appropriate for me to come forward."

Not to mention that he is also a local snake in Xijiang, Chen Yang's hometown is there, many friends are better than many shit-stirring sticks, and he has also put in effort when it comes to his cousin's going to school. From the perspective of human relations, Chen Yang The boss also has to give him some thin noodles.

Huang Shan nodded slowly, the matter was settled, and then she packed her things and prepared to leave.

At this time, Chen Yang suddenly said, "By the way, that latent TV series is co-produced by Guangdong TV, right?"

Huang Shan raised her head in astonishment, "Yes, why did you ask this suddenly?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "That's right. I have an old cousin, and his girlfriend is an exterior reporter for their TV station. Say hello to them and find a suitable interior host."

Huang Shan looked at him unexpectedly, "Hey, this is the first time you've asked your partner to talk to you, isn't it?"

After a pause, he said with a smile, "Okay, it's a small matter, I will definitely take care of it for you!"
