Chapter VI

When Brilliance Group announced that it would terminate its cooperation project with Rover, the British could not understand why the Chinese would rather waste a deposit of 200 million yuan than continue to implement the contract with Rover.

Brilliance demanded that Rover increase its capital contribution, bear the amount of capital injected according to shares, and relocate the factory in China from Dinghai City to Liaoyang Province, but the sudden change of fortune from the Chinese side was unacceptable to the British. Rover is now strapped and unable to come up with a large amount of money to invest in China. What's more, more than 3,000 acres of project land in Dinghai City have been leveled, and office buildings have risen from the ground.

As a result, the Brilliance Rover project, which was progressing smoothly, suddenly ushered in a sudden death.

Rover is not a reliable joint venture partner, it is on the verge of bankruptcy in the UK, and when the contract was signed, Jin Yangyong promised that as long as Rover provided the technology, the rest would be handled by the Chinese side, Brilliance took a huge risk. To this end, the Liaoyang Provincial Government came forward to veto the cooperation plan with Rover, and sent a negotiation delegation to negotiate with Rover on the deposit of 200 million yuan paid in advance, and did its best to get back part of the funds.

As soon as Kim Yangyong left, all his strategies were overturned by his successors one by one, even Zhengdao Sedan was renamed Brilliance Car, and at the same time, the positioning also rose from the 150,000 range to more than 200,000, to build China's own brand luxury luxury sedan.

"I think the Brilliance sedan is quite high-end, and it looks very good. Doesn't FAW have a small red flag, and we now have our own cars in Brilliance. I asked the comrades below, and everyone thought that Brilliance Car and FAW Xiaohongqi could compete together. ”

With the transfer of Brilliance's property rights by the Ministry of Finance to the local government, the Liaoyang Provincial Government has actually become the real in-law of Brilliance.

Su Xiaoqiang had to listen to the opinions of the provincial government when it came to the choice of Brilliance's strategic direction. When the main officials of the Liaoyang provincial government proposed to make Brilliance Car a rival on a par with Xiaohongqi, the management of Brilliance had no room for opposition, and the government's will began to replace market choice.

"Now the car market is mainly dominated by buses, and Brilliance Car is aimed at the bus market from the beginning, as long as the product quality is good, it is not afraid of high prices at all. Xiaohongqi sells for more than 200,000 yuan, and we sell 200,000 yuan for Brilliance. The province will vigorously support the development of Brilliance car, and when the car birth permit comes down, the province will give priority to the Brilliance brand in the future car procurement!"

Since they are all part-time workers, they feel the same for Jin Yangyong and for the Liaoyang Provincial Government. Switching to a new owner, Su Xiaoqiang gained unprecedented power and also gained a large amount of stock options to become a billionaire. But all this is based on the background that Brilliance Auto needs to smoothly transition from the Kim Yangyong period to the Liaoyang Provincial Government stage. In case Brilliance Auto does not operate well in the future, then Su Xiaoqiang and they will be the first victims to be used to sacrifice the flag.

Therefore, the four King Kongs led by Su Xiaoqiang are closely tied to the fate of Brilliance Auto at this time, and they must fight hard for Brilliance and their own interests and future.

"Our senior management also believes that Brilliance Car will be the next force of the group, and we will try our best to prepare for the listing according to the instructions of the province after we go back. We have defeated FAW with a gold cup in a light passenger van, and in the future, we can also use Brilliance to pick off FAW Xiaohongqi in the field of sedans!"

Since the province has set a strategy, the task given to Su Xiaoqiang is only to carry it out. With the strong support of the provincial government, Su Xiaoqiang barely stabilized the military heart of Brilliance Automobile, but compared with Jin Yangyong, he looked much immature. If it weren't for the provincial government, Su Xiaoqiang would not have been able to suppress the veterans inside Brilliance Auto.

After Su Xiaoqiang left, the governor of Liaoyang pressed his temple, and the secretary made him a cup of strong tea in a very timely manner.

"It's easy to get a thousand troops, but it's hard to find a general! Brilliance is such a big stall, and now he can't find the right person to pick it up. ”

Hearing the leader sighing to himself, the secretary did not respond when he knew the current affairs. Su Xiaoqiang did not put forward any eye-catching suggestions, but has been operating according to the instructions of the province. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, the advantage is that the will of the province is reflected, and the disadvantage is how Brilliance's future development can not see the direction.

"There is also a lion on the FAW side who opened his mouth, thinking that he could take advantage of the fire to rob Brilliance, and actually put forward a request for holdings. If we give FAW control shares, what will we eat in Liaoyang Province in the future is really a good calculation. It is better to rely on oneself than to seek others, we Brilliance insists on independent development, and is not afraid of attracting Golden Phoenix. ”

For Brilliance Automobile, which has been in an independent state, Liaoyang Province has sent an intention to cooperate with FAW, but the other party's first condition is to ask for the return of Jinbei Automobile, and it is also proposed to talk about cooperation only if Brilliance is a subsidiary of FAW.

Of course, Liaoyang Province will not agree to such conditions, Jinbei Automobile is now a cash cow, and what to give FAW Brilliance to eat. As for the controlling stake, of course, it will not agree, Liaoyang Province has its own automobile industry development planning requirements, if it is merged into the unified planning of FAW Group, not only Liaoyang Province's plan will fail, Brilliance will also be reduced to a supporting role in the market.

Jin Yangyong's sudden departure hurt Zhehai Province and its Dinghai City Government. The big projects that were originally negotiated have been greatly affected, and the mess left by Brilliance Rover is enough to worry the local government.

The government requisitioned more than 3,000 acres of land for the Rover automobile project, and invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the early stage.

"Governor Zhou, almost all the belongings in our city have been gambled on the Rover Automobile project, and now it is so yellow, and we will not be able to live in the future. Can the province find a way to contact Brilliance and try its best to save this rare big project. ”

The leaders of Dinghai City went to the provincial government to ask for help, and if it was not handled well, the failed Rover car project would be a big hole in the city, and the people of the city would need to tighten their belts to repay the debt for many years.

"What is the situation in Dinghai City, you need to run to me and cry poor, who doesn't know that except for Jiangzhou, you are the richest. Isn't there any other car brand besides Brilliance?"

Of course, Governor Zhou will not be easily fooled, and even if the Rover project fails in Dinghai City, it will only be a skin injury at most, and it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

Brilliance does not need to report hope, Liaoyang Province has made it clear that it does not support Brilliance's plan to invest in and build factories in Zhehai, as the chief official of the Zhehai government, Zhou Nansheng knows that it is difficult to recover the flood.

"Alas, our Dinghai City has good geographical conditions, and if we develop the automobile industry, it is definitely a match made in heaven. In the future, after the construction of the sea-crossing bridge, it can be connected with Hujiang City, and the development potential is unlimited. Governor, see if you can take the lead in contacting the Zhonghua Group to see if they are interested in taking over the car project in Dinghai. We guarantee that the preferential conditions are only a lot more than those of Brilliance. ”

Crying poor is only the first step, and the next hope to get in touch with Zhonghua Group is the real purpose of the leaders of Dinghai City.

"Can you directly contact Zhonghua Group, the conditions are so good, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit business?"

Faced with the governor's inquiry, the leaders of Dinghai City replied with some embarrassment.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Han, it would be better for you to come forward and say hello. After all, at present, Zhonghua Group is building a lot of construction in Jiangzhou, and they may not be interested in developing in Dinghai City. ”

Dinghai City also knows that the focus of Zhonghua Group is now in Jiangzhou, and it is a bit unconventional to want the other party to invest in Dinghai.

"Well, for the sake of the province's economic development, I agreed to be a matchmaker. Since you think that Dinghai City has advantages in the development of the automobile industry, then in addition to Zhonghua Group, you can also take a long-term view, domestic and foreign automobile companies can talk about it. If a new powerful automobile company is introduced, the province will give you a credit!"

From Zhou Nansheng's point of view, it is not safe for a large automobile company in Zhejiang Province to have Zhonghua Group, and it is best to introduce another automobile company to diversify the risk and achieve the best walk on two or even more legs.

After receiving a call from Governor Zhou, Han Hao was not surprised that the mess of the automobile project in Dinghai City really needed someone to take over. However, the layout of Zhonghua Group's production base in the country has been basically saturated, and it really cannot arouse its interest in investing in Dinghai City.

The Jiangzhou Municipal Government has given Zhonghua Group a lot of preferential policies and land, and it will take several years to digest them, and then it is not necessary to set up a sub-base in Dinghai City, at least for the time being.

Especially now that Zhonghua Sedan is facing a situation of unsalable, there are no new highlights of other models in the market to digest production capacity.

However, the governor personally called and said that even if Zhonghua Group did not invest, it could contact the Dinghai Municipal Government, and maybe there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

For this reason, Han Hao had to take time to meet with the guests from Dinghai City.

Now that China is preparing to join TO, there are many uncertainties about the future of automotive development, especially since the automotive industry is considered to be one of the hardest hit industries. Therefore, the hydrangeas thrown out by Dinghai City have all been rejected by domestic and foreign manufacturers, and they have no intention of investing in Zhejiang for the time being.

So much so that the Zhonghua Group has become the only savior that Dinghai City can grasp, and if the Zhonghua Group refuses, then more than 3,000 acres of land will become wasteland.

In the end, whether to develop the automobile industry, the Dinghai municipal government has done a special discussion for this purpose, and the result of the discussion is that it is a strategic choice related to the future development of the local area to attract automobile projects. If you can, you should do whatever it takes to introduce automotive projects to land.

Whether it is Haizhou City or Jiangzhou City, they have relied on the automobile industry to achieve a great industrial turnaround, and automobiles can drive the development of a series of related industries.

"As long as the Zhonghua Group agrees to land, as long as it does not violate the law of the country, we can agree to any conditions. ”

With the determination to break the kettle, the Dinghai Municipal Government sent a delegation to Jiangzhou to talk with Han Hao.

Han Hao made it very clear that Zhonghua Group has no intention of expanding investment in other places now, but does not rule out the intention of cooperating with the Dinghai Municipal Government in the future.

Asking for people to be three points shorter, now it is a role reversal, Zhonghua Group has no desire and no desire, so it is in the active position, but the Dinghai Municipal Government has a face to beg Han Hao to invest.

"As long as Zhonghua Group agrees to invest in Dinghai and take over the Rover project, then we are willing to transfer more than 3,000 acres of land to you at a price of 1 yuan. At the same time, the implementation of the project can be graced to 3 years, and we are willing to give you a certain time frame for development. If you decide not to invest in Dinghai after 3 years, then we will take back the land project free of charge. ”

In order to win over the Zhonghua Group, the Dinghai Municipal Government offered extremely preferential and crazy conditions, and they did not believe that Han Hao would not be moved by such conditions.
