Chapter 128: Chrysostom's Title

Coming to Hushan Automobile Industrial Park, it is a busy construction scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the 1.2L engine production workshop, there are engineers from Europe to guide the installation of the production line, and due to the strict technical standards, there are disagreements with Chinese engineers from time to time. Feedback to Han Hao, he asked that everything should be based on foreign standards, and the engine must ensure the quality to avoid similar accidents in Huaxia Light again. As for the joint venture with GETRAG in Germany, the construction of the first phase of the plant has been completed, and the production equipment ordered has also set sail from Germany to China. Under the linkage of the provincial, municipal and county-level coordination groups, the two major auto core parts factories have begun to build in advance without national approval, so the progress is very fast. Since it does not involve the vehicle business, the approval of auto parts enterprises is not strict, and the central government will nod and approve after the province passes.

The prime minister looked and asked questions all the way, but rarely expressed personal opinions.

The huge Huaxia Automobile Factory is not inferior to some state-owned automobile enterprises, and the hardware standards of the overall plant are at the international leading level. Knowing that Huaxia Automobile Factory has invested 300 million yuan in advance, and will invest an additional 500 million yuan in the future, a private enterprise dares to invest 800 million yuan in real gold and silver in the field of automobiles, and the leaders of the inspection immediately discussed it.

"40% is bank loans, and the rest is all the company's own funds, and the financial situation of our factory is very healthy. ”

Han Hao's words show that he did not kidnap the bank and the local government to force the car, but really had the strength to take this step.

Xia Zhengde, the new secretary of the provincial party committee, talked with the governor Zhou Tiannan from time to time, and he had just been transferred from the northeast to the south of the Yangtze River, and he could see at a glance that the Huaxia factory was indeed a leading enterprise with strong competitiveness in Zhejiang Province. A "FAW" can support nearly half of the total industrial volume of the province, if Zhejiang Province can also produce a "FAW", then the province's economy is enough to take off. Of course, the country has invested for decades to build "FAW", as the eldest son of the republic, it is impossible for Huaxia Factory to climb to the sky in one step, but if the development is smooth, there is still such a possibility. Huaxia Factory does not need to become a "FAW", even if it is "half", it is enough for Zhejiang Province to blossom. The subtle mentality made the new secretary Xia Zhengde feel much more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Huaxia Factory.

After looking at the project of Huaxia Light, Han Hao also frankly said the reasons for the failure of the first-generation model, and is now preparing to launch the second-generation model.

Around the second-generation prototype car, the prime minister also sat in the cab with great interest and held the steering wheel to feel one or two, so the small details can know that he is in a good mood.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next thing to visit will be our first-class confidential project of Huaxia Automobile. These projects are the strategic direction of our future development and belong to the core secrets of the enterprise. Ordinary people have to sign a confidentiality agreement, but today we are exempt from this link due to special circumstances. ”

Han Hao is ready to lead everyone to visit the Q1 and C1 automobile R&D projects, which are secrets that Huaxia Factory has not made public.

"Oh, Comrade Xiao Han, you bring the confidentiality agreement and let us all see it. ”

As soon as the non-disclosure agreement was announced, it aroused the Prime Minister's interest.

Seeing the dense clauses, full of various restrictions and confidentiality requirements for visitors, the prime minister took a cursory look at it and asked the secretary to bring a pen, and the first one to sign his name on it.

"No matter how big an official is, he can't give special treatment, and he always reminds us that we can't be separated from the masses. ”

Under the leadership of the prime minister, other officials in turn wrote their names on it, and the non-disclosure agreement took on another historical significance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think that this confidentiality agreement may become a witness to the historical process of our country in the future, just like the contract of 18 households in Xiaogang Village. Therefore, this valuable agreement will be kept in the vehicle museum of our Huaxia plant in the future. ”

The Xiaogang Village contract for land to households is a testament to the changes in China's reform and opening up, and the confidentiality agreement cannot be compared, but it is also a major breakthrough to have the prime minister sign an ordinary civil agreement. Han Hao plans to collect this confidentiality agreement in the future and place it in the Huaxia Vehicle Museum as an iconic collection.

Knowing that Huaxia Factory handled this confidentiality agreement in this way, it made the officials who had been accompanying them feel relieved, and the agreement signed by the chief could not be used casually, and it would have a bad impact on the society. In the future, it will be a beautiful thing to put in a museum.

The fact that you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement to visit the project naturally aroused the interest of the leaders from the very beginning.

When I came to the automobile research and development building, I saw the Q1 mini car, which was a product that Huaxia Factory was preparing to launch in the second half of 1998. The car is a small hatchback sedan inspired by Daewoo's upcoming Matiz model. In order to find the right shape for the Q1, Wei Changhui led the design team to analyze popular foreign models, and strive to find inspiration from them. At the Capital International Motor Show in July 1997, a Matiz concept car from Daewoo, South Korea, was loved by many exhibitors. The yellow body, the rounded hatchback shape, especially the round headlights with the front of the car, are as cute as the anthropomorphic car cartoon image in the animation.

Such a unique shape that people will never forget after seeing it, Wei Changhui naturally took a fancy to it, and took a photo back for Han Hao and others to appreciate, and everyone agreed to set the shape of Q1 like this. In particular, Daewoo Motors has not entered the Chinese market, so the reference copy of the Matiz concept car will not cause too much trouble.

It is impossible to completely reproduce it, and for the styling of the Matiz concept car, Huaxia Factory has also made further optimizations that are more in line with the level of Chinese appreciation. The headlights and fog lamps have been adjusted, the engine cover and air intakes have also been added with Chinese elements, and the taillights have been replaced with traditional Chinese lantern shapes. The shape is similar but not the same, and it may feel like the two cars from a distance, but once you get closer, you can clearly distinguish the difference between the two cars.

The Q1 styling has played a side ball, and like the light of China, it draws on the models of international advanced automobile companies, but this is also one of the shortcuts for the automotive industry in backward countries to start catching up. Boldly let go of its hands and feet, Huaxia Automobile did not have much time to hesitate.

"This little car is good, it is very different from the current square model, in my opinion, it is much better than the Xiali, Alto and other micro cars. ”

An accompanying official said casually that Huaxia Automobile still has a certain strength.

"We will position this car as 'the favorite car of young people', and the main target group is young people who are ready to buy their first car. They are quick to accept new things, have a certain amount of financial strength, and are willing to try new challenges that are different. The car will be equipped with a 1.2-liter engine produced in-house by our factory and equipped with a Getrag 4-speed gearbox, and is expected to be priced between 50,000 and 60,000 yuan. ”

Han Hao opened the car door and introduced the weapons of the future to the leaders. He has high hopes for this new car, and whether Huaxia Automobile can gain a firm foothold in the Chinese market depends on it. Anyone who has seen this car will be fascinated by it, believing that its future launch on the market will cause a new sales frenzy.

It turns out that there is such a powerful secret model, no wonder people who have seen it are required to sign a confidentiality agreement, this is really one of the treasures at the bottom of the box of Huaxia Automobile.

"What will be the name of this car in the future?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"It's not decided yet, maybe we'll ask for names from the public, do you want to ask our chief for one?"

Han Hao took the opportunity to turn his head and ask the prime minister.

As soon as the words fell, the other officials applauded, and the prime minister had to nod his head and try his skills. It may be serious in the venue, but when it comes to private inspections, especially in the face of ordinary people, the prime minister also puts away the shelves and looks extraordinarily approachable.

"Since it's a public name, I'll also provide an idea. Presumably everyone will feel cute when they see this car, since it is a Q1 project, then take an English cute homonym, called QQ. For example, we Chinese call children like to carry heavy characters, and the names of Ming Ming and Jiaojiao are catchy. ”

"QQ", this name is really good, in line with the model positioning and impressive, Han Hao immediately took the lead in applauding and said that this name has achieved a very high level.

"At that time, we will definitely conduct a fair vote, put the name QQ in for everyone to vote, and will never engage in privileges!"

After reading the Q1 project, Han Hao took everyone to the C1 project, which is the most important strategy of Huaxia Factory in the future, to enter the sedan compact car.

Three foreign models, the Toyota Corolla, the Honda Civic and the Hyundai Elantra, are stored here, and the engineers of the Huaxia plant are disassembling and disassembling them, especially the chassis. If the micro-surface sedan is at the level of college students, then the compact sedan is now at the level of master's students, and the technical difficulty is even higher.

The C1 is initially based on the Toyota Corolla chassis as the simulation object, equipped with a 1.8L engine and a Getrag 5-speed gearbox developed by the Huaxia plant in the future, and will be launched at the end of 1999 at the earliest. The model will be aimed at the 100,000-yuan sedan market, staggering competition with the three major domestic hegemons Santana, Jetta and Fukang.

Seeing the C1 project, officials with a certain knowledge of automobiles stopped talking. This is obviously a 7-prefix catalogue model stipulated by the state, but now Huaxia Automobile has not obtained the permission of the catalogue. The state has very strict control over the prefix 7 directory, and many provinces have tried their best to go to the central government, but they have not been able to do public relations. Now Huaxia Automobile is preparing to engage in sedans, and it seems that it wants to break through the gap.

"Chief, I know that the state has strict regulations on the production of sedans. The state focuses on ensuring the three major joint venture car bases, and implements zero access to other new automobile enterprises. Today, on behalf of the vast number of private entrepreneurs, I would like to ask the state to give us a chance to compete fairly, and even if we fail, we will be willing to lose. ”

With a heartbeat, Han Hao said something that made the other officials present feel earth-shattering. This is obviously a direct attack on the premier, because it was the premier's policy idea to give priority to ensuring that state-owned enterprises become bigger and stronger in the economic lifeline industry, so as to promote the reform of state-owned enterprises.

Under the premise of the reform of state-owned enterprises, the interests of state-owned enterprises should be given priority in all trends, and the purpose is to make the reform of state-owned enterprises out of poverty and difficulties, which is the consensus of local governments. Now, as a private enterprise, Huaxia Factory dares to openly challenge the market monopoly position of state-owned enterprises, which is really a bit bold.

Xia Zhengde, the provincial secretary who had been in high spirits just now, had a gloomy face again, and it would be troublesome if the prime minister had a different view on Huaxia Factory and even Zhehai Province.

"Comrade Xiao Han, when I came here today, I said that I would speak freely. I have heard the voices of your private enterprises, but national policies are not child's play, and they cannot be decided by me alone, and they can only be implemented after the coordination and cooperation of various central departments. The private sector is also an important pillar of the country, providing a lot of tax revenue and employment, and we take this into account when we think about policy. ”

After saying this, the prime minister did not express his position directly, but he did not refuse.

The long-standing proposal in Han Hao's heart has been brought, and he has done his best, and whether it succeeds depends on the future development.

Seeing that the prime minister did not seem to be angry, the other officials present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The ancients said that a companion is like a tiger, Han Hao has never experienced officialdom and does not know what is powerful. If the prime minister turns his face, the life of Huaxia Factory will not be easy in the future. However, it is also a kind of courage for Han Hao to dare to face the chief and make a reasonable request.

What Han Hao sees in front of him is the interests of Huaxia Factory, but in the eyes of the prime minister, what he has to consider is a game of chess for the national economy, so the starting point is different, and the conclusions are different.

At present, China's state-owned enterprises lack vitality and low profitability, and the reform of state-owned enterprises is the key to the success or failure of the new government's economic policy. In particular, the Asian financial crisis is ongoing, the international economic situation is very poor, and in the eyes of the premier, the reform of state-owned enterprises is the main contradiction, and the demand for relaxation of private enterprises such as Huaxia Factory is a secondary contradiction. If the main contradiction is not resolved, people will die, and the secondary contradiction will only be a pain in the wound at most, and no one will die for a while and a half, so it is the overall situation to give priority to solving the main contradiction.

The domestic automobile industry is represented by the three major and three small automobile groups, and now the joint ventures with foreign countries have just improved, and if private enterprises are put in, I am afraid that the overall situation of the reform of state-owned enterprises will be disrupted. The fairness proposed by Han Hao can only be relatively fair, that is, the issue of loosening the restrictions on private enterprises can only be considered after the reform of state-owned enterprises is completed.

In addition, the automobile industry catalogue and the three major and three small car bases are all political assets left over from the previous prime minister, and considering the political influence, it will cause unnecessary speculation to immediately abolish them. Finally, it is necessary to consider that the state has invested a lot of money in the automobile state-owned enterprise group for many years, and it is a problem to consider the return on these huge investments.

In short, Han Hao hopes to release the car catalog as soon as possible, which involves a lot of entanglements of interests, and it is a big deal just for the state-owned automobile group to write against it, and it cannot be completed for a while.

However, during the inspection of the Huaxia factory, the prime minister saw the flexible and positive side of private enterprises. I can't imagine that Huaxia Automobile has such an advanced plan, nor can I imagine that Huaxia Automobile has formed such a scale, and I can't imagine that Huaxia Automobile has R&D strength that is not weaker than that of state-owned automobile factories. Huaxia factory can step from a motorcycle to a car, from the pace it has taken is very steady, step by step is very orderly, belongs to the private economy in the outstanding representative enterprises.

When returning to the conference room to discuss and report, Governor Zhou Tiannan specially asked Haizhou Secretary Bo Dongfeng to come forward to make a report on the automobile and motorcycle industry base clusters, so that he could show his face in front of the central leaders. For officialdom, such an opportunity is very rare, and it will become a certain political resource in the future.

At the end of the inspection at the Huaxia factory, the prime minister encouraged Han Hao to continue to innovate, become an excellent representative of private enterprises, and make outstanding contributions to the rise of China's manufacturing industry in the future.

Before coming to Zhejiang, in Hujiang, the prime minister had decided to take automobiles as a major measure to stimulate domestic demand. A car is equivalent to a building, which can greatly stimulate residents to withdraw money from the bank for spending. As for other measures for domestic demand, education, medical care, tourism, housing, etc. have become equivalent to the status of automobiles as economic pillars. In particular, housing, clothing, food, housing, and transportation are indispensable items for the majority of Chinese people, and everyone is waiting for the state to allocate welfare housing. In the survey, housing has surpassed other countries and has become the most important treatment in the minds of all Malaysians.

Leaving Zhejiang, the prime minister went south to Nanyue Province, as an economically developed area, the commercial housing economy is at the forefront of the country, after listening to the report of the real estate industry, housing reform is basically on the agenda. In the future, the real estate industry will officially replace the automobile industry and become the number one pillar industry of the national economy announced by the state. Compared with automobiles, the real estate industry drives more industries, provides more jobs, and drives more GDP.

A new era is about to come with the change of national policy, which will create a large number of billionaires for China and the world.
