Chapter 115: The Battle of Long He

At the end of the welcome ceremony, Han Hao announced on the spot that all members of the team would be given half a month off and an extra month's salary as a bonus, which would take effect immediately!

Everyone immediately cheered, and after a brief rest, they went back to their respective homes to enjoy the holiday trip.

At this time, Xia Cheng, the director of the CVT project, walked up to Han Hao with some twists, as if he had something to say.

After overcoming the difficulties of CVT, Han Hao was in a good mood, and let the other party say something if he had something to say, and he would agree to the other party's request if it was not too much.

As the leader of the project team, Xia Cheng showed super potential and did what seemed impossible. Of course, it must be added that with the help of the technical solutions of the British company Ricardo, as well as the help of many of the world's top suppliers, such as Bosch providing steel belts and sensors, BorgWarner providing hydraulic control systems and solenoid valves, etc.

"I want to ask you to be a witness to my wedding!"

Xia Cheng made a request that made it difficult for Han Hao to answer for a while.

At that time, it was the test that was frustrated and kicked and injured in the hospital, which led Xia Cheng to meet Wang Xiaoran, who was a nurse, and the two began to fall in love, and now they are ready to enter the palace of marriage. Han Hao can be said to be a good witness between the two of them, so the idea of the witness hit Han Hao.

"I'm never married, so it's not appropriate to be a witness, is it? Standing on the stage, I feel more like a light bulb that illuminates you and blacks yourself. ”

Han Hao was embarrassed to refuse directly, and said from a different angle.

"It didn't matter, we agreed that you were the most suitable person, witnessed our first meeting, and besides, you are still my boss, and attending the wedding also made my face shine. Otherwise, I won't be able to deal with my fiancΓ©e when I go back. ”

Seeing Xia Cheng's low-profile request, and his husband was already depressed before he got married, Han Hao had no choice but to agree to attend.

In order to be a good person to the end, Han Hao also transferred his Rolls-Royce sedan to serve as Xia Cheng's wedding car. Unexpectedly, this set a precedent, and in the future, many employees of Zhonghua Group will apply to borrow it as a wedding car when they get married.

Anyway, if he didn't sit down, it would be a waste for the Rolls-Royce to be put there, so Han Hao agreed to this request in accordance with the public opinion. But there are still conditions, otherwise there are too many people to be deployed. The company stipulates that only those who can select the "Outstanding Employees of the Week" are eligible to apply for wedding car treatment, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Rolls-Royce is a top existence in China, and it is really face-saving to be able to use it as a wedding car. As a result, this Rolls-Royce has truly found its value, and almost all of the year, except for maintenance, is used as a wedding car, witnessing many young employees of the Chinese Group form a new home.

The citizens of Jiangzhou have become accustomed to it, and when they see the Rolls-Royce with this license plate on the street, they know that it is the wedding of the employees of Zhonghua Group.

As a core employee of Zhonghua Group, Xia Cheng belongs to the high-income class after returning from studying in the United States, so when Wang Xiaoran's colleagues and friends came to their wedding room, they couldn't help but be envious and jealous.

Detached three-storey villa, the dowry is a Zhonghua BMW 5 Series, Xia Cheng's generosity allows everyone to see the strength of working in Zhonghua Group.

The wedding was held in a famous five-star hotel in Jiangzhou, and when they heard that the witness was Han Hao, the richest man in China, relatives and friends couldn't believe that such a big man could be invited.

It wasn't until Han Hao appeared that everyone craned their necks and stood up to look at it before they confirmed that it was true news.

"This wedding is big enough to invite the richest man, and he is the biggest witness I have ever seen in my life. ”

"Isn't the richest man unmarried? How can he be a witness?"

"The groom is returning from studying in the United States, and he doesn't pay attention to these details. The richest man is here to give you face, do you have to pick and choose?"

......

The appearance of Han Hao, dressed in formal clothes, made the people present talk about it more than once.

Accompanied by the wedding march, seeing Xia Cheng in a suit and Wang Xiaoran in a white wedding dress slowly walking in front of him hand in hand, Han Hao felt the purity and sacredness of marriage.

"When the groom invited me to be a witness, he said I was their matchmaker. I didn't react to this sentence at the time, but when I went home and thought about it, I thought it was very correct. If I hadn't gone to the United States to recruit people and bring this outstanding groom back to China, he would not have met such a beautiful bride.

And when the bride and groom met for the first time, I happened to visit the hospital and inadvertently acted as a light bulb for the two of them. No wonder I always felt that the ward was full of strange fluctuations at that time, and now I finally understand that the two of them are secretly discharging each other behind my back. I said that I finally went to visit at that time, and the nurse drove me out before the chair was hot, and it turned out that this was the reason. ”

Han Hao's self-deprecation made the guests laugh at the bottom of him, the richest man with a serious face in the media, is so approachable in real life.

"Some people say that marriage is the grave of love, burying all their happiness, and others say that marriage is a besieged city, and those who want to come out and those who are outside want to go in. But I want to say that every couple will have their own unique understanding and experience of what marriage is, just like a pony crossing a river.

I hope that in the ordinary life surrounded by oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in the future, you can recall from time to time your love at first sight in the ward, and today's sincere vow to protect each other in the presence of all your relatives and friends. Don't forget the original intention, you have to always, and I wish the two of you to be able to hold the hand of your son until you grow old.

Congratulations!"

A sincere wish from the bottom of his heart made the audience sound with long-lasting applause, and Han Hao's testimony made many people feel deeply.

The role of force is to influence each other, and attending the wedding scene today made Han Hao also start to think about his life's events, whether he has to make a move when he is nearly thirty years old.

In the context of Audi's occupation of China's official car status, China BMW carried out a surprise attack on it, and the official sponsorship car of the Boao Forum, which Audi had occupied for three years, was taken away by the BMW brand.

The Boao Economic Forum is an economic forum held every summer in Boao District, Qiongnan Province, China, since 2001, and is a platform for political and business people from Asian countries to exchange ideas. Originating from the World Economic Forum held in Davos, it strives to establish an Asian-led forum organization that specializes in Asian affairs from the interests and perspectives of Asia, and aims to enhance exchanges and cooperation between Asian countries and with the rest of the world.

It can be said that the Boao Economic Forum is a place for China to demonstrate its influence as a major country, attracting national leaders to attend in person every year, as well as more than 1,000 political, business people, experts and scholars from all countries and regions around the world.

Audi has been an unwavering sponsor of the Boao Forum since its inception, but this year their qualification was forcibly taken away by BMW China.

The Boao Economic Forum is biased towards the economic aspect, which is the focus of the BMW brand in China's business market. This scramble not only expands the influence of commercial vehicles in the economic field, but also directly hits the influence of Audi.

"Audi lost to BMW, and the two luxury brands finally went head-to-head in China!"

In the cold winter of the auto market, there is finally big news that the two major luxury brands that have always developed separately have finally started a war.

Many media paid attention to the reprint, and the news of Audi's defeat to BMW was widely circulated in China for a while.

In order to obtain the sponsorship qualification of the Boao Forum, China BMW has quietly contacted the Boao Organizing Committee for half a year, and finally got the sponsorship with a price twice as high as Audi, and sent off its old enemy Audi in China.

"You all said that the relationship is solid, and no one will come to grab the Boao sponsorship qualification this time! Now it's okay, BMW has come out and grabbed our territory cleanly. There are rumors outside that our Audi can't compare to BMW, and Boao has chosen a higher-grade brand as a sponsor!"

You must know that at the Boao Forum, the newly appointed No. 1 national leader will attend and deliver a speech, which will surely make the forum more concerned.

Unexpectedly, carelessly losing Jingzhou, FAW Audi was out of the game and was picked by China BMW.

This made FAW boss Zhu Tianfeng very angry, and he loudly accused his subordinates.

"I applied to the finance side to increase the budget, but the process was stuck and not processed, and within a few days, the Boao Organizing Committee announced that BMW had been qualified as a sponsor!"

In the face of Zhu Tianfeng's anger, the person in charge had to explain a few words for himself.

"I just want the result, regardless of the process, how good the performance opportunity will be wasted for you! You write a deep review yourself, and then wait for the transfer job to reflect. ”

Zhu Tianfeng ignored the other party's defense and directly announced the punishment decision.

When cleaning up the mess on the FAW side, Han Hao was satisfied with the excellent performance of his team.

"Everyone did a great job, Audi can't cover the Chinese market alone, we can take advantage of their weaknesses and attack. Whether we admit it or not, Audi is BMW's biggest rival in China, and if we beat them, we can occupy the mainstream of the market.

Before Mercedes-Benz does not have domestic production, we must seize the share of the commercial market as soon as possible and firmly suppress Audi in the official market, which is a strategic consideration.

Due to the national conditions, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are unlikely to become government official cars, and we can't count on this luxury car market, so the business market and the private household market are our starting points. ”

Previously, BMW was affected by the lottery door, and its brand image was greatly damaged, just with the help of the official endorsement of the Boao Economic Forum to repair its image and improve its influence.

When the Boao Economic Forum was held, the BMW brand also spread to thousands of households with the help of the national media's propaganda power, showing its image as a representative of commercial vehicles.

What is even more unexpected is that at the Boao Economic Forum, a unique debate broke out on the development of China's automobile industry.

"We can't engage in our own brands for our own brands, in the era of economic globalization, the future of the auto industry will definitely be more competitive, and it is expected that there will only be five to six large automakers left. As long as we can keep five or six of these automakers in China, I think it is a victory for China's auto industry, and it is not necessary to have a sole proprietorship to develop China's own brand.

The integration of the world economy, regardless of its source of capital and technology, is a good enterprise as long as it produces in China, creates jobs for China, and pays taxes to the Chinese government. Their presence can also be considered a victory for the automobile industry of our country!"

As the secretary-general of the Boao Economic Forum and the main Chinese participant in the TO negotiations, Long Hantu's remarks shocked the entire venue.

Now the Chinese government is encouraging the development of independent car brands, but how to develop has not yet been decided, and Long Hantu's statement of "not asking for everything but for its location" has made many reporters smell the news breaking point.

"I don't agree with that!"

Sure enough, while everyone was still reminiscing about what they had just said, some people stood up against such a viewpoint. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be He Xiaotian, the retired former minister of machinery industry in charge of the automobile industry.

Now there is a good show, and two retired senior Chinese government officials have begun a-for-tat debate in public.

"At present, in the joint venture, the Chinese side does not have the right to speak, and any modification has to be certified by foreign countries, and it will take a long time to delay. We have completely become puppets and foundries of foreign parties, and we are not allowed to learn anything if we can't learn anything, and we can only master some fur.

We should develop and expand ourselves by cooperating with foreign companies and learning their technology and management, and gradually develop the brand with independent intellectual property rights. In this way, we can get greater benefits.

If you don't have core technology, you won't have the right to speak, and you won't gain respect from abroad!

Once the remaining five or six big automakers are withdrawn from the Chinese market, what will we be left with?

Empty factories, large numbers of unemployed workers, and a government that can't collect taxes!

The safest truth is that people's fate is ultimately in their own hands, and we cannot pin our hopes on outsiders.

China's auto industry has actually had very good signs now, just like the fast-growing Zhonghua Group, they have mastered some core technologies, and can compete with foreign brands in the market.

Why can't we boldly imagine that there will be Chinese companies among the five or six surviving automakers in the future?"

He Xiaotian's words, which are exactly the opposite of Long Hantu's meaning, are that China must develop its own independent car brands, "not only where they are, but also all of them"!

The fierce confrontation between the two sides immediately aroused great concern among the participants, and this argument has not only been limited to the automotive industry, but can even be extended to all major domestic industries.

At the scene, both men were veterans of battle, and neither could convince the other to accept their views.

"Let time tell who is right and who is wrong!"

This debate, known as the "Longhe Controversy", is destined to be recorded in the annals of Chinese automobile history.
