When making a multiple-choice question between Rongcheng and Yuzhou, the professional advice given by the China Think Tank made Han Hao finally make up his mind to settle the western base in Rongcheng.

The reason is that the city has even more potential for growth in the next decade and beyond!

The impact of the subprime mortgage crisis has fully exposed the fragile side of China's economy, which relies heavily on exports, and the export-oriented economy is too affected by the international environment, and pinning hopes on others is not a long-term solution.

It has been nearly 10 years since China and the United States reached an agreement to join the WTO in 1999.

The export strategy brought about by investment promotion was once running at a high speed, but it will eventually hit the ceiling. China has been the world's factory for many years, the global market is close to saturation, and the incremental dividend has begun to decline sharply.

The emergence of the subprime mortgage crisis is a wake-up call for China!

Only by practicing domestic skills can we resist external threats, and domestic consumption has begun to step onto the stage of history, ready to take over and replace foreign trade and exports, and become the new mainstay of China's economy.

Foreign trade, domestic demand, and investment, as the troika of China's economy, take turns to drive China forward, of which domestic demand is a well-deserved leader. After shouting for so many years to expand domestic demand, it is really time to go to the battlefield.

There are two key factors in domestic demand, one is money and the other is people.

In terms of money, it is the blessing that China has become the world's factory, and it is possible to earn back a large amount of foreign exchange so that the people of the whole country can enjoy the dividends of economic development. If you are a person, only someone can have consumption, and the consumption power is certainly stronger in places with large populations.

Rongcheng is a provincial capital, radiating more than 80 million people in the province, and indirectly affecting tens of millions of people in Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet.

Han Hao not only needs a manufacturing base, but also a consumption base, and he is not only thinking about how to build more cars, but also how to make more people potential customers of Zhonghua Group.

With many university resources to provide a steady stream of senior talents, it belongs to the provincial capital city built with the resources of the whole province, and has a stronger radiation force to the surrounding provinces, and deserves to become a regional center...... The combination of these factors has allowed Rongcheng to show super development potential, beating the municipality of Yuzhou to become the foothold of the westward expansion strategy of the Zhonghua Group.

Investing 1 yuan is ten times better than donating 1 yuan, donating 1 yuan is gone, but investing 1 yuan may drive 10 yuan growth, China Group's large-scale investment is the most needed care for the people of Bashu.

What made Han Hao laugh and cry was that the normal business operation was greatly publicized by Chengdu City, saying that Zhonghua Group would send charcoal in the snow to support the reconstruction of the disaster area, and hoped that more enterprises could learn from the example and settle down in the local area for investment.

Seeing that Zhonghua Group was operating in an orderly manner, his successor Wei Changhui gradually adapted to the role, and Ling Yunzhi, a veteran in charge of industrial production, officially applied for retirement.

Ling Yunzhi followed Han Hao to start a business, witnessed the growth process of Zhonghua Group from small to large, and made great contributions to the company's growth.

"People have to obey the old, so as not to make mistakes in their brains, and in addition, they can make room for young people, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. In addition, I have a new battlefield waiting for me, and the desertification in my hometown is too severe, and the sand control and afforestation project is imminent.

I heard that I was going back to control the sand, and the villagers were very supportive, and they knew the damage of the wind and sand best, and they all said that only I could stop everyone when I went back. To control desertification, you must first win the hearts of the people, and in addition, you must have money, and it seems that I am not lacking in both. ”

Although retired, Ling Yunzhi is still full of energy, and he has found a new battlefield for his retirement.

In the more than ten years of Zhonghua Group, Ling Yunzhi has witnessed the rise of China's automobile industry, and even if he leaves now, he has no regrets. Because the achievements of Zhonghua Group have greatly exceeded his original expectations. In particular, the FAW Hongqi brand is now in a half-dead situation, which makes him feel that going south is the most correct choice he made in his life.

Han Hao originally wanted to keep the other party in the name of an advisor, but later saw that he planned to devote himself to the cause of sand control and afforestation, but he still prepared a generous gift for this meritorious veteran.

"I plan to set up a sand control fund in the name of the company, with a guaranteed investment of 20 million yuan per year, to explore the practical path of desert management in China.

Today, I would like to invite you to serve as the first chairman of the board of directors and use your hometown as a pilot to contribute to the cause of desertification control and afforestation.

I have been thinking about this suitable person for a long time, and it must be you. ”

Desertification control and afforestation cannot just shout slogans, but must have human and capital investment. Han Hao learned that Ling Yunzhi took out his savings of 10 million to invest as start-up capital, so he decided to help. Anyway, every year, Han Hao will take out part of the profits for public welfare activities, and he can rest assured that he will use them for Lao Ling's sand control project.

"This is really good, the desertification control project is not simple, with the support of you, the richest man, the winning rate is greatly improved.

Since you have ordered the general, I will take it upon myself to ensure that the task is completed!"

The tacit understanding formed by years of cooperation with Han Hao made Ling Yunzhi agree.

At the request of Ling Yunzhi, he went through the retirement procedures quietly, and the official website of China Group released the corresponding resignation news after he left.

Although there have been rumors of it for a long time, Ling Yunzhi's resolute departure is still a sigh of rage.

The "Ling Cannon", who is well-known in China's automotive industry, took off his armor and left his beloved automobile career to return to the embrace of his hometown.

When he left home, he returned to his hometown, and his native accent did not change and his sideburns declined.

Ling Yunzhi, who has reached the age of sixtieth, can be described as infinite in his hometown this time.

For the unveiling of the "China Group Sand Control and Afforestation Foundation", not only Han Hao, the richest man in China, attended in person, but even the top leaders of the Hebei Provincial Government appeared at the venue, making Ling Yunzhi's hometown famous all of a sudden.

Of course, the influence of a retired old man cannot invite the head of the provincial government, and the other party will of course come for the sake of the face of the richest man in South Korea.

As the planning base of Zhonghua Group's "north", Jibei Province has become the largest local manufacturing enterprise, and the native Great Wall Motors has been overwhelmed. As an important place to radiate Beijing, Tianjin and even the northeast region, Han Hao is determined to increase investment in northern Hebei Province and prepare to launch a new production line.

Therefore, when Han Hao decided to help the Lingyun Smart Desertification Control Project stand on the platform, the local government quickly responded and fully cooperated with the development of desertification control public welfare undertakings. They don't need the government's real money to invest in it, and they can still get a good reputation, and they certainly won't refuse such kindness.

Desertification control and afforestation are only one part of Ling Yunzhi's plan to return to his hometown, and he also has a major plan to explore the sustainable development of poverty alleviation in his hometown, and it is best to combine the two to achieve it.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the general of the China Group, whether it is courage or vision, he is a head above everyone.

"The ideological consciousness of your older generation is really incomparable to us, first there was Chu Lao Ershun who went up the mountain to plant fruit trees in the year, and then you retired and opened up another battlefield to lead the people in your hometown to control sand and afforestation.

If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do that. ”

Before Han Hao left after completing the unveiling ceremony, he specially said to Ling Yunzhi. The relationship between the two is also a teacher and a friend, and since then the distance between the north and the south has been thousands of miles, so that Han Hao couldn't help but have a sour nose when he parted.

"We are used to living a hard life, and our bones itch when we enjoy happiness. You, it's a waste of your talent to plant trees and control desertification, and there are more important things waiting for you to do.

Go ahead, I will always pay attention to the development of Zhonghua Group, the more successful you are, the more secure our desertification control will be!"

Patting Han Hao on the shoulder, Ling Yunzhi was relieved to see that this young Chinese entrepreneur leader could already take charge on his own, and he had the honor to fight with him.

Back in Jiangzhou, Han Hao held a new round of mobilization meeting of Zhonghua Group, mainly setting the tone for development in the next ten years.

"In the next five to ten years, we will end the situation of the domestic automotive industry, not only domestic independent brands, but also joint venture brands will fall a large part!

Consumers vote with their feet, and it will not be subject to the will of the local government, and whoever has a more competitive product and a lower cost will have the last laugh.

In the past, you can still eat casually by building a car, but from today onwards, the space of the bastards will be gradually compressed, and we can only have meat to eat if we break the mud rice bowl of these unenterprising enterprises!

We not only have to eat meat at home, but also grab meat in the international market, and it is the turn of other international giants to tremble. ”

This is Han Hao's reshuffle declaration in his internal speech, Zhonghua Group will not give other weak competitors a chance, and the Chinese auto market will be a game between giants in the future.

Now there are nearly 100 car brands in China sold in the market, domestic cars, joint venture cars and imported cars are crowded together, and sooner or later fierce market competition will break out.

The subprime mortgage crisis has plunged many car companies into a cold winter, and the first wave of the 100-day offensive launched by Zhonghua Group next year will make them worse, and what is even more terrifying is that there will be a series of combination punches in the next ten years.

In addition to price reductions, Zhonghua Group will also update its own models across the board in the next three to five years, and will use products that are ahead of the current half-generation technology to reduce the dimensionality of many car companies that do not want to make progress.

A simple example is that everyone is still playing with the ordinary technology of internal combustion engines, and Zhonghua Group will first switch to turbocharging popularization, and then upgrade to hybrid power across the board, so as to compete with competitors at the technical level. While other manufacturers are still applying ordinary electrification technology in a regular manner, Zhonghua Group's products will greatly advance towards intelligence and interconnection.

In the next 5 to 10 years, the products launched at the same time, the models of Zhonghua Group should be at least 3 years ahead of each other in technology. In terms of the use of new energy technology and intelligent technology to popularize the pass, Zhonghua Group will overtake the international auto giants in corners.

"There are certainly new risks associated with the large-scale exploitation of new technologies, but this is the price we have to pay if we want to outperform the international giants.

If we keep following Toyota, no matter how good we do, we can only be Toyota's shadow. Since Toyota can overturn GM to the top, why can't our Zhonghua Group replace Toyota in ten years and sit on the throne of the world's No. 1 automobile?

You must know that our Chinese, but after more than 2,000 years, they have shouted: The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!"

Han Hao's words were so loud that everyone at the scene was enthusiastic when they heard it.

However, when he was about to go home that day, he received a call from his wife Chen Lingxi with a crying voice.
