501. The willows are bright
Compared with permanent, on history, the Phoenix factory wins; in terms of quality, the Phoenix factory is not bad; in terms of technology, the Phoenix factory also has a lot of reserves; in terms of the situation of the factory, everyone is half a catty, eight taels, the eldest brother does not laugh at the level of the second brother.
In this era, this is the era of great development of transportation, the quality of domestic cars is getting better and better, the price of imported cars is gradually decreasing, and cars have become the main mode of travel. In addition, the increasing development of public transportation and the proliferation of motorcycles and other means of transportation have had an unprecedented impact on the bicycle industry. However, the Chinese people have not yet developed the awareness of healthy and low-carbon travel and strengthening environmental protection, so the bicycle industry is currently in a very embarrassing situation.
To develop public transportation, the current market for bicycles in public transportation has become smaller and smaller, and the three traditional factories are very sad. The development of high-end belongs to the Chinese people who have not formed good habits and awareness in this regard, and as a result, the market for bicycles has shrunk more and more. And it is in this situation, there is also the entry of foreign bicycles, if the three major factories do not change their development direction in time, the future result can only be eliminated by history. Fortunately, the leaders of the three major factories are still shrewd and capable, and they know very well what they should do and how to choose the next development route, which allows the three major factories to survive until the future.
But how to say it, the Phoenix factory is still a relatively rigid enterprise, this is not to say that the Phoenix factory is not good, but its system, until nine years later, the real restructuring, really ushered in the private capital into the ownership. In the years before that, even if the Phoenix Factory was listed, it had long been unwilling to accept the entry of private capital. Although this factory has been brilliant and has a long history, it was once a state-level factory, but as a result, the rate of return has decreased year by year, and in the past two years, it has begun to lose money. In this situation, Zhou Fangyuan felt that he still had a chance.
But he didn't rush to contact the other party, but called Professor Tian first.
Professor Tian is worthy of being a super master, and there are basically no people in all walks of life in China that he doesn't know, and even if he doesn't know them, he can find people he knows. It didn't take long for a call to return to Zhou Fangyuan's mobile phone, and as soon as Zhou Fangyuan picked it up, well, it was actually the deputy mayor of Haishi. Zhou Fangyuan didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly changed to a very respectful tone. In a municipality like Haishi, the deputy mayor is equivalent to a high-ranking official in Beishan Province, no, at the level of a high-ranking official. Although the Yuanfang Group looks very prosperous now, it is still not enough to see in front of the feudal officials. To put it mildly, if it weren't for Professor Tian standing behind him, Secretary Feng and Mayor Liu and others, the provincial leaders of Beishan Province would not be vegetarians. Before Zhou Fangyuan offended the leaders of the province for Shen Xing's father, people have not been looking for trouble with him and the Yuanfang Group, in the final analysis, it is still based on the face of the first and second leaders in Beitong City, as well as the taxes created by the Yuanfang Group for Beishan Province, on the other hand, if there is no platform for Feng and Liu, the provincial leaders may have to give the Yuanfang Group a long time ago.
It doesn't take much action, just a little warning, it's enough to make the nascent distant group drink a pot.
As for the deputy mayor of Haishi, there is no doubt that he has this ability, unless the Yuanfang Group is not ready to develop in Haishi in the future, he can't offend any of the bigwigs here. At least not now, before the Yuanfang Group really grows into a big tree, when the other party is still in office, Zhou Fangyuan will offend such a big guy if he loses his mind and goes crazy.
Fortunately, now that he has a relationship with Professor Tian, from another point of view, even if he Zhou Fangyuan really accidentally said something out of line and did something out of line, the other party would be able to forgive him.
After all, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha
"Hello Mayor Xu, I'm Zhou Fangyuan. β
"Haha, I know, the young head of the Yuanfang Group, Teacher Tian has already told me, speaking of which, I am still your senior, I was trained by Teacher Tian for a long time, and now I have been replaced by the little junior brother, you have to ask for more blessings." β
In a word, it is equivalent to bringing the two closer together.
Hearing this, Zhou Fangyuan also relaxed.
"Senior, you're so polite, look when you have time, I want to visit. β
"Time, no time, and all the time, the little junior brother is here, can I take good care of you, just come over when you have time." β
"Then I'll go now"
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the office. β
The other party smiled and hung up.
Zhou Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, this senior is a relatively good talker, at least in the call just now, Zhou Fangyuan can feel this.
Called the brother-in-law over, and the two went downstairs to buy some gifts. Of course, the other party is a government official, so the gift must not be too expensive, otherwise it will become a bribe. Since it is a meeting between seniors and juniors, it is enough to bring some simple gifts to express your gratitude. Money, or valuable things can never be sent, this is not just a matter of bribery, people sit in this position at a young age, they must have ambitions for the future, ambitious people, they will pay great attention to their image in all aspects and cΔo) guard, send valuables, that is tantamount to harming people, sending out may not be able to get a good impression, but may make the other party unhappy.
Zhou Fangyuan also pays more attention to this kind of thing now, so he didn't make that kind of low-level mistake, just bought a box of health care products, and walked in the direction of the Haishi Municipal Government in the car.
Half an hour later, he met his senior in the city government office.
The age is really not very old, it is only in his thirties and less than forty years old, he can be regarded as a young cadre, and he is also very handsome.
The first meeting between the two was, on the whole, relatively successful.
Zhou Fangyuan can be regarded as taking the initiative to please the other party, after all, this person's future is definitely not simple. Zhou Fangyuan didn't know much about the changes in domestic officials, and he also knew about the change of the country's people, as for the transfer of leaders of various provinces and cities, he had never paid attention to it in his previous life, so he really didn't know how far his senior had achieved in the original time and space. But come to think of it, it shouldn't be too bad.
For Zhou Fangyuan's arrival, the senior expressed his welcome, and although the other party complained about the gift he carried, he didn't take it too seriously, just a box of health care products, it was really nothing.
After the two gossiped a few words, Zhou Fangyuan finally began to explain his intentions.
"You want to take a stake in the Phoenix Factory"
The senior raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Fangyuan with some curiosity.
"Yes, in fact, I originally wanted to invest in the permanent factory, but I didn't expect to be preempted by Chen Rong in the middle of the road, I have already contacted him, but this person doesn't know why he wants to refuse people thousands of miles away, I want to be rejected by him, and I want to place an order in the permanent factory is also rejected Alas, I can't help it, in fact, Mr. Tian knows about this, and he strongly supports me to do it. As a result, I have now failed my teacher's expectations. β
Zhou Fangyuan said helplessly.
"Haha, what is this called, the teacher is not such a person, you can rest assured, the teacher will definitely understand your difficulties, and isn't this a direct call to me Okay, little junior brother, tell me what you think, in fact, I'm curious, why did you take a fancy to the bicycle industry and that Chen Rong too, the bicycle industry is obviously going downhill now, you one or two, what's going on Chen Rong I don't want to ask, but you here, you have to tell me what you think, I'm really curious, what are you big capitalists thinking about all day longγ β
"Don't don't, senior brother, that's all you say, what a big capitalist, I'm not a capitalist"
When Zhou Fangyuan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, what is a billionaire who is not a big capitalist, do you really think that I don't know that the major shareholder of your distant group Tengxun and Ali is you, the current valuation of these two companies is hundreds of millions, just the shares of the two companies can make you Rongyi Billionaire Club rest assured, now is not the past, even if I say that you are a big capitalist, you don't have to worry about someone being unfavorable to you. β
"Of course I understand, it's just that it doesn't sound good to say."
"Haha, if you want to make money and don't want to be infamous, how can it be so simple not to say this, you first tell me what you think, I really want to know, what is the reason why you are optimistic about this bicycle industry. β
The senior asked with a grin.
At this moment, Zhou Fangyuan thought briefly in his mind, and after thinking about it, he decided to say what he thought. He believed that this senior would not cheat him at such a time, but he believed even more that this senior knew what to do. Public bicycles are not a happy technology, and it is easy for others to imitate them. But the contrast between the distance and the middle is undoubtedly stronger in the distance. Compared with Chen Rong, there is no doubt that he Zhou Fangyuan also has more potential. Coupled with the existence of Professor Tian, the two sides have a de facto brother-in-law relationship, even if they tell each other their plans, they don't have to worry that the other party will turn around and tell Chen Rong.
Thinking of this, Zhou Fangyuan put his mind at ease, and he sorted out the language.
"I have three things to say about the bike.
First and foremost, bikes don't die. Whether it is a permanent factory or a Phoenix factory, there is a very long history, have a strong technical reserves, have a fixed consumer base, in the hearts of the people, these two brands, together with the Tianjin Gate over there pigeon factory, are all infused with the brand, especially our generation, since childhood to contact the bicycle, whether it is a large span or Kunche, are these three brands, although now the three bicycles have been affected to varying degrees, but I believe that their future is good, decades of brand, will not be destroyed overnightβ
"Let's talk about something practical, don't talk about this kind of content that praises virtue and says good things. β
However, the senior didn't take it, and with a wave of his hand, he directly asked Zhou Fangyuan to skip this paragraph.
This kind of empty talk, it doesn't matter if others say it, and the two of them can be regarded as related, so he doesn't want to hear this from Zhou Fangyuan's mouth, he wants to hear it with realistic content.
"Okay, then I'll talk about the second point. Seniors, you should also note that the country's current policies have been tilted towards environmental protection to a certain extent, and energy conservation and emission reduction are the general trend. And in foreign countries, why the bicycle industry has been able to maintain vitality, is because bicycles in addition to the genus of transportation, there is a little bit of environmental protection, high-end bicycles, and even bicycle international competitions, there are currently many international competitions, bicycles at the same time have travel, environmental protection, health and many other genera, so I believe that even if the future of the bicycle can never be restored to the glory of the year, but it will definitely not die.
For large domestic manufacturers, I think what should be done at present is to accelerate the transformation of products, from the original pure means of transportation, to more beautiful, lighter, higher strength, and better user experience. From the most basic stage, the middle and high-end countries, increase the part of product design, improve the overall grade of products, enter the field of high-end bicycles as soon as possible, and improve the level of technical research and development, only in this way can we ensure that state-owned brands can have enough competitiveness. And we have an advantage, that is, we are a national brand, enjoying a good reputation in China, and the domestic market is so big, high, medium and low-end at the same time, it is not impossible to seize the market. Although foreign bicycles are good, but the cost is not low, and the domestic labor cost is very competitive first, the cost of we can do foreign manufacturers can not do the degree, plus the national brand of home and country advantages, the domestic factory is promising. β
"Well, that's kind of interesting. β
After hearing this, the senior nodded.
"You're right, that kid of mine is clamoring to buy a bicycle all day long, but he likes foreign bikes, but he doesn't like domestic bicycles, because they don't look good. If our own bicycle is also good-looking, the quality is good enough, and the price is cheap, it can indeed have a certain competitiveness. Okay, let's talk about your third point, the last one is the truth, I'm like listening to the truth. β
"Okay, senior, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you about it"
Then, Zhou Fangyuan said about his idea of public bicycles, not only that, in order to increase his weight in the hearts of his seniors, he also talked about his investment in smart phones, especially the idea of "sharing bicycles" that combines smartphones and bicycles, which is what Professor Tian has not heard, but Zhou Fangyuan told his seniors with almost no reservations.
Sure enough, after listening to this, the senior's eyes suddenly lit up.
"The phone you're talking about"
"Smartphones. β
"Well, what a step has been made"
"The system is being developed, and there is already a transitional version, and after a while, there will be a finished product, I will give you a senior, and you can see the effect. β
"Take one and it's free, your shared bicycle is a little interesting, reduce the waste of resources, improve the reuse rate, meet the needs of the last kilometer, reduce the cost of travel, and at the same time have a great effect on urban transportation and environmental protection Haha, Xiaoyuan, you are really amazing, just rush to your last point, I will put forward a proposal for the restructuring of the Phoenix Factory at the next meeting, which should be approved, and then I will fully support you to enter the Phoenix Factory, but I said ugly words in front, I want to see the kind of thing you said, if you can do it, then everything is easy to say, on the contrary, if you can't do it, I will not let you goβ
The senior clapped the hand and said, and in the end, it was a direct threat.
Zhou Fangyuan was not afraid of his threat, and nodded vigorously.
"You just look at it, senior, I'll definitely be able to make it happen" The chapter content is working on restoration, please visit it later.
