Chunghwa Group's large-scale investment of 2.2 billion yuan in Tata Motors must be approved by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce, and then go through foreign exchange registration with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and transfer the funds to India through designated banks.

In a department of the National Development and Reform Commission, the staff received a project application submitted from the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission.

"Hey, how does Zhonghua Group plan to invest and build a factory in India, and the amount is so large. Can Indians afford to buy cars? There are not many Chinese companies that dare to invest in India, and this richest man is really bold. ”

A staff member said to a colleague next to him while there were no outsiders.

"Haven't you heard, Huaqing is as big as being bold! Who can get rich all these years is not bold! A timid person like us can only sit in the office and watch others get rich. ”

As two of the best universities in China, Huaqing University and Tianjing University have always been high-end universities that Chinese people aspire to. In a remote county, whoever can be admitted to these two universities will be sent off by the whole county. However, with the washing of the tide of the market economy, the criteria for evaluating whether a person can do it are becoming more and more simple and straightforward, depending on how much money he earns.

Another colleague listened and chimed in.

"I heard a friend of mine who has traveled to India say that it is now similar to the development state before China's reform and development, and the poverty jingle rings. When you go to India to produce cars, you really don't know who to sell them to! Motorcycles are somewhat reliable, but they are incomprehensible when they get on the car so quickly. ”

Another colleague joined the discussion.

"Whatever! Anyway, if we lose, it's not our money. Hurry up and help check one or two, see if there is any omission in the materials, and report if not. Someone on this joint venture project said hello and stared at it!"

A staff member who appeared to be in charge spoke.

The Zhonghua Group's investment projects in Russia have achieved initial results, and have been repeatedly mentioned in internal meetings by senior government leaders recently, and now it is moving into the Indian market and receiving strong support from relevant leaders.

Unlike other domestic auto manufacturers, which symbolically export hundreds or thousands of cars, Zhonghua Group has gone abroad in a real sense to invest and set up factories abroad to export Chinese auto brands.

In the Russian market, with its outstanding cost performance, "Tang" climbed to the sales target of 4,000 vehicles in a short period of time and became a well-known Chinese product in Russia.

"Whether Chinese cars are good or not, you have to go abroad to take a look, I think Zhonghua Group is doing well." It is said that their new cars have quickly gained a foothold in the Russian market and are not lagging behind other international brands.

As the big brother of state-owned enterprises, we must vigorously develop our own brands, and go abroad in the future, so that the younger brother of private enterprises who come from behind can steal the limelight.

What Zhonghua Group can do, I believe that the big brothers of major enterprises can also do!"

The vice premier in charge of the economy cited the example of the China Group at an economic work conference.

The Forbidden Night was about to be held, and Han Hao came to the capital ahead of schedule to visit patients in a well-known hospital in the capital.

When he came to the high-level ward, Han Hao saw a middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed reading a book, and he hadn't seen him for a while, and the other party looked thinner and thinner under the torture of the disease.

"Lao Li, look who's coming!"

His lover was very surprised to see Han Hao, he quickly recognized the identity of the richest man, he didn't expect this young man to come to visit.

"Hello, Minister Li. I just learned that you are sick and hospitalized, so I came to visit. ”

Han Hao said with the fruit basket he had just bought.

"Director Xiao Han, ah-no, now I have to change my name to Mr. Han. Now your name is thunderous in the domestic automobile industry, and I heard that you are ready to invest and build a factory in India!"

Lying on the hospital bed is Li Zhiquan, former minister of the Ministry of Commerce, who was found to be seriously ill some time ago and had to be urgently hospitalized for treatment, and also resigned from his leadership position to recuperate with peace of mind.

"You still call me Director Xiaohan, it sounds kind. ”

Putting down the fruit basket, Han Hao hurriedly said.

Li Zhiquan can be said to be the second generation of Chinese automakers, compared with Mr. Chen Zhutao, who witnessed the birth of FAW and FAW, he is a new generation of professionals who grew up under the banner of the Republic. After graduating from college in 69, he was assigned to work in FAW, and he stayed in FAW for 20 years, and he was considered a senior in the automobile industry.

At that time, FAW took the Audi joint venture project from Volkswagen and picked up a complete Volkswagen factory in the United States for nothing. and FAW's purchase of Chrysler 488 engines, which he personally negotiated and made the Americans pay a breach of contract fee, which are classic cases in China's auto industry.

Due to his outstanding experience in FAW, Li Zhiquan was transferred to the Central Committee in the early 90s and served as the vice minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, supporting the formulation of China's automobile industry policy in 1994. Later, he participated in the negotiation process for China's accession to the TO, becoming an expert negotiator to foreign negotiators, and then became China's first Minister of Commerce in 2003.

"Comrade Li Zhiquan has rich experience in international negotiations, solid theoretical knowledge and excellent work experience in the local central government, and he is one of the few expert officials in China who truly has an international perspective and overall view, and he is very suitable for such a challenging new position. ”

When he was nominated as a minister, the chief commented. It can be said that Li Zhiquan's appointment as the newly created Minister of Commerce is highly anticipated, and both Chinese and foreign media are unanimously optimistic.

When Zhonghua Group planned to build a factory in Russia, it received strong support from the then minister Li Zhiquan, for which Han Hao and the other party established a good relationship under the matchmaking of Chen Lao.

"Lao Ling entrusted me to make amends, and he said that after finishing the project at hand, he flew to the capital to visit you. ”

The news of Li Zhiquan's illness is kept very secret, and Han Hao and the others have just learned about it. When he came to visit this time, Han Hao was not looking at the other party's official position, but as a respectful salute to his predecessors.

"You guys, you're making a big fuss. People always have to go to see Marx and Engels, without me Li Zhiquan, the earth will rotate the same. ”

The former minister, who wore a hat to hide his chemotherapy hair loss, said so calmly.

"Director Xiao Han, forgive me for relying on the old and selling the old, sit here. Tell me about the situation in India and what kind of big moves your Chung Hwa Group has. ”

Putting down the book and pointing to the chair next to the bed, Li Zhiquan said excitedly to Han Hao.

When it comes to work, his husband seems to be a different person, and his lover sees this and leaves the two to talk in the ward in the name of fetching water.

Han Hao picked up the main itinerary in India and briefly described it to Li Zhiquan, especially when he heard Modi, he asked Han Hao to add many details.

"Modi, a person I had a relationship with when I went to a meeting abroad, said that he admired China's development experience and wanted to explore a development path suitable for China's national conditions in India.

According to what you said, I don't think there should be much problem with your investment in India, India is in need of foreign capital to help with construction and development, and China is a potential investment target for them.

I have seen your achievements in Russia from the internal briefing, and it seems that the progress is relatively smooth, and Russia will be a major market for Chinese automobiles in the future. India has 1.1 billion people, they are very similar to our country, and you enter the Indian market in advance, just like when the public came to our country, very forward-looking.

I mentioned to Comrade XX that you should pay more attention to your China Group, it is very dangerous to test the overseas market, and the country will escort you behind your back. ”

The unofficial body is light, and Li Zhiquan didn't take too much into account when he talked about his opinions. Comrade XX is the newly appointed minister, who has just been transferred from the post of a senior official in Liaoyang. Unexpectedly, when handing over the work, Li Zhiquan also deliberately named the name of Zhonghua Group.

"You are still young, Zhonghua Group has many advantages that state-owned enterprises cannot match, to be honest, I am most optimistic that you can carry the banner of China's automobile industry. Now that the central government advocates the development of independent brands, you must seize the opportunity, cultivate your internal skills, and participate in the competition of the global automobile market more abroad in the future.

In 1994, when I was involved in the formulation of the automobile industry policy, I made this the ultimate goal. Ten years have passed, and only the light has been seen in your Zhonghua Group. If I were given another ten years, I believe I would see that day come. ”

Li Zhiquan knows the situation of his body, and the ten-year appointment is just a fantasy.

"But no matter where I am, I will cheer for China's automobile industry, and I will also applaud the brilliant achievements of your next generation of Chinese automakers! I believe that you, and the many Chinese automakers behind you, will not let me down!"

Li Zhiquan held Han Hao's hand and asked.

This picture is more like a kind of inheritance, the torch of China's automobile industry has passed from the second generation of automobiles to the third generation of automobiles, indicating that the fire of China's automobile industry will not be extinguished.

Coming out of the hospital, Han Hao still had Li Zhiquan's positive and optimistic emaciated face hovering in front of him. Birth, old age, sickness and death belong to the process that everyone has to go through in the world, but some people can leave a little mark in history and come to the world in vain, Li Zhiquan obviously belongs to one of these outstanding people.
