Chapter 183: Looking Forward to Three Consecutive Days
In the second new park opened up by Jiangzhou for the automobile industrial park, many heavyweight guests came today, and everyone attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Zhongce Horse joint venture factory.
The new plant is a joint venture between Zhongce Group, a subsidiary of Zhonghua Group, and Continental Tire Factory, with a total investment of up to 2.2 billion yuan, and is expected to produce more than 7 million tires per year, which will be used for the three brands of Zhonghua Group, Huaxia and even China BMW.
Bo Dongfeng, the mayor of Jiangzhou, spent a lot of effort for this project, and finally saw the day when the melons were ripe. Originally, the project would have been implemented faster, but because it had to wait for the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission, it was not approved until the end of the year.
The rapid development of Zhonghua Group has attracted many international big-name spare parts enterprises to settle in Jiangzhou, and this new park is a place specifically to house these foreign manufacturers. In order to ensure the vitality of the enterprise, in terms of spare parts supply, Zhonghua Group has implemented the AB angle strategy, which is selected by domestic and international spare parts manufacturers to compete at the same time.
This park alone has completed one-third of Jiangzhou's investment promotion plan this year, which is enough to prove the influence of Zhonghua Group in the local area.
"Secretary Zhao fully affirmed that you can take the initiative to undertake the arduous task of China's first share reform, and specifically mentioned this matter at a meeting in the province a few days ago.
He said that entrepreneurs should understand the overall situation within the scope of their ability, which is the embodiment of responsibility. He also called on other entrepreneurs in the province to learn from you and actively participate in the country's economic reform.
In the past, the purpose of invigorating the stock market was to extricate state-owned enterprises from difficulties, but now that the times have changed, the central authorities have demanded that the financial market be reformed to serve the real economy more and become an important source of income for the people to live a well-off life.
I can be stained with your light, at the provincial meeting, Jiangzhou City also won the name of praise, saying that our service work is good, and the automobile industrial park has become the province's economic bright spot. ”
During a private meeting with Han Hao before the groundbreaking ceremony, Bo Dongfeng, the mayor of Jiangzhou, said to Han Hao with a smile.
"It's just the right time, and to be honest, it was a really stressful time, but fortunately it turned out well. Now the company's stock price has risen by 23% compared to before, which shows that everyone votes for our development with the money in their pockets.
The bigger the company, the more pressure it feels, and you always feel like you're walking on thin ice. So many people eat with you, everyone expects you higher than everyone else, and you have the halo of the richest man, to be honest, I am doing it step by step!"
He and Bo Dongfeng have been good friends for many years, and the relationship between the two is very close, so Han Hao does not hide his thoughts.
"It's okay for small businesses to say that a giant like Zhonghua Group definitely needs to be treated differently. Rest assured, the state will not treat the meritorious to the poor. Now there's a good thing coming to the door, where is your place of residence?"
During the conversation, Bo Dongfeng asked about Han Hao's household registration relationship.
"After graduating from university, I moved back to my hometown Hushan, what good things can I do in terms of household registration?"
With a blank face, Han Hao didn't know what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his heart.
"There is a vacant place in the delegation of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Congress, and an old model worker representative in Jiangzhou resigned due to illness. Secretary Zhao nominated you to replace him at the meeting, and this task will be implemented on my personal head, you see that in the past two days, the household registration will be moved to Jiangzhou, and after a period of time, you will be by-elected according to the procedures for the qualification of the provincial people's congress deputies. ”
It turned out that after doing it for a long time, Bo Dongfeng said that the so-called good thing was this, and he was ready to let Han Hao by-elect a deputy to the provincial people's congress. The total number of deputies to the provincial people's congress in Zhejiang is 560, and it is not surprising that Han Hao will become one of them.
"But I have registered with the CPPCC at the Federation of Industry and Commerce, is it still necessary to come to the National People's Congress? Moreover, why do I have to move my household registration to Jiangzhou?"
Han Hao remembered his identity as the vice chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce and asked casually.
"The difference between the relationship between the NPC and the CPPCC is very different in terms of actual significance. You are not in the political arena, and you don't understand Secretary Zhao's hard work. He asked you to go to Jiangzhou for the by-election, in fact, to prepare for the next NPC deputies.
You must know that there are only more than 2,900 deputies to the National People's Congress, and there are only 90 people in Zhehai Province. Many mayors and even secretaries of prefecture-level cities are worried about one of the places. You lock in a place in advance, which is a positive recognition of your active participation in the share reform. ”
Because of the cordial relationship, Bo Dongfeng explained and analyzed Han Hao in detail.
As a leader in China's private enterprises, Zhonghua Group is comparable in size to many large enterprises, and the importance of its position at the helm is self-evident.
For example, one of the important reasons why the United States proposed to resume diplomatic relations with New China was that a large country with nuclear weapons and one-fifth of the world's population should not be allowed to be free from international rules. This is okay for the time being, but in the long run it will become a destabilizing factor for global security.
In the same way, now that the Chunghwa Group has grown into a leading economic enterprise that cannot be ignored by the state, it must be incorporated into the system that the state can control. Under extreme conditions, once Han Hao has an accident, the state will not hesitate to designate large enterprises to take over, so as to maintain economic and social stability.
Absorbing Han Hao as a member of the country's top-level management is the easiest, lowest cost and most effective way. In a sense, it's a win-win situation, where the country gets the help and the Chung Hwa Group gets the endorsement of the state.
As soon as Han Hao completed the migration of his household registration, there was another good news, the results of the 2004 China Automobile Industry Science and Technology Progress Award were announced, and the independent CVT project of Zhonghua Group undoubtedly won the first prize.
Last year, Chunghwa Group won the award for the first time with the research and development of the SUV "Tang". This year, it won the award again for its CVT project, which is enough to show that Zhonghua Group has been at the forefront of its domestic counterparts in the field of independent research and development.
Jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Information Industry and the Ministry of Science and Technology, the award is the highest technical standard award in the automotive industry and has authoritative credibility.
"This is a large scientific and technological research project spanning 5 years, 3 months and 11 days, with more than 2,000 direct participants, a total investment of 1.84 billion yuan, 83 supporting production enterprises, and the original drawings can be stacked in a storage room the size of a basketball court.
What is even more commendable is that this is not an act of the state, but an independent attempt by an enterprise, without the strong intervention of the state.
From the very beginning, almost no one was optimistic about the project, believing it to be a don quicote and useless challenge. But the hard-working and intelligent Chinese engineers have made the impossible possible and created a miracle of China's independent car brand.
Its advent has broken the blockade and monopoly of foreign technology on China, indicating that the level of China's automobile industry has been improved by leaps and bounds, and has leveled the distance between us and foreign counterparts in one fell swoop.
In this selection, it is the only entry that has been approved by all the judges. Maybe I don't need to announce the mystery, everyone knows who it is?
Next, I would like to invite Mr. Han Hao, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Zhonghua Group, and Xia Cheng, the representative of the R&D team, to receive the award for China's first autonomous transmission CVT. ”
In the host's impassioned introduction, Han Hao and Xia Cheng took the stage to receive the award, which is an affirmation of the technology of Zhonghua Group and an affirmation of many unknown R&D engineers.
"Dr. Xia Cheng, what was the most difficult moment for you and your team in the research and development process?"
The host first asked Xia Cheng.
"The hardest moment was after the third trial failed, when many people on the team, including myself, were skeptical that they could overcome the CVT problem. Because a lot of money has been spent, at least hundreds of millions, but the experimental products we made have not even moved, and we also found that the design direction is facing a major change. At that time, there were rumors within the company that the CVT project would be axed, after all, there was no hope of output.
Anyway, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, affecting most of our team and making people panic. I remember losing 15 pounds at that time, I couldn't sleep every night, and the pressure was too much.
Later, Mr. Han came forward to announce that he would continue to increase investment in CVT, and personally went to the laboratory to appease people's hearts, promising not to withdraw troops if they did not produce results, so that everyone survived that difficult time and finally reaped the fruits of victory. ”
Speaking of R&D experience, Xia Cheng is very embarrassed, everyone has seen the beauty of success, and they don't know their hard work.
"Behind every technological breakthrough is the sweat of countless engineers and R&D personnel. Thanks to Dr. Xia and his R&D team for their dedication, there is hope for your independent brands in China. Let's turn our attention to Mr. Han, the hero behind the scenes.
On this podium for the second time, may I ask Mr. Han, do you have anything to say to the audience?"
As the finale guest of the awards conference, the host will certainly not let go of a big name like Han Hao, and it is estimated that this is also the scene that the audience wants to see.
"As the saying goes, once raw and twice ripe. But as I stand here, I find myself still nervous, and it seems that I personally, including all the staff of Chung Wah Group, attach great importance to this award.
In addition to thanking the judges for their affirmation, the most worthy of thanks is the CVT R&D team, like Dr. Xia Cheng next to me, who is the biggest contributor.
Winning the first prize twice in a row was stressful for me because the idea of winning three consecutive championships came to my mind. I hope that the peers in the audience will not give us this opportunity, because only competition can make the development of independent brands better.
In a word, it is the progress of China's automobile industry that I will continue to stand here next year to receive the award, and it is the progress of China's automobile industry that I will not stand here to receive the award next year!"
Han Hao's answer made the audience burst into warm applause, and everyone was encouraged by his words.
If other brands can continue to break the foreign monopoly in the field of research and development to catch up with the gap, it indicates that the level of China's overall independent automobile industry is constantly improving.
At the end, the moderator also announced another good news, that is, the CVT project of Zhonghua Group will be jointly promoted by the Ministry of Information Industry and the Ministry of Science and Technology to participate in the 2004 National Science and Technology Progress Award.
This award is the highest national award publicly recognized by the State Council, and it is no longer limited to the automotive field, but will compete with various high-tech fields such as information engineering, national defense aviation, and biological science.
As a major technological breakthrough in the automotive industry, Zhonghua CVT will be a strong contender for the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award for 10 places.
