In the second half of 1997, Toyota officially launched the world's first mass-produced hybrid car, the Prius. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The car uses two hybrid gasoline engines and electric motors, which are powered by electric motors at speeds below 15 kilometers per hour, and charged by gasoline engines at high speeds, making great use of the excess kinetic energy of gasoline engines. The establishment of a connection cycle between kinetic energy and electrical energy is a black technology that surpasses this era. The Prius is highly sought after all over the world, and its safety and environmental protection have made it the darling of the times. With the so-called "dual-engine" hybrid, Toyota has left its rivals such as GM, Ford and Volkswagen far behind in terms of technical reserves, and even other Japanese manufacturers such as Honda and Suzuki cannot match it.

All of a sudden, the global media focused on the hybrid dual-powered Prius car, and Toyota reached the top of the industry.

After Clinton was elected president of the United States in 1992, he vigorously promoted two far-reaching national strategic policies that had a profound impact on the global economy.

One is the "National Information Superhighway" policy, in which he foresees that the Internet will dramatically change the world in the future. He said that 50 years ago, the United States created a boom in the American economy on wheels by building highways connecting states. Now the United States has the ability and obligation to build a digital superhighway that connects the world, and an information superhighway that connects the world through the Internet, so as to lay the foundation for the country's glory in the next 50 years.

The second is to promote the "Next Generation Vehicle Partnership Program", a plan for unprecedented cooperation between the government and industry, including "government, business, academia, and research" to jointly develop a new generation of automobiles. The new generation of vehicles requires fuel efficiency to be three times that of comparable standard cars in 1994, i.e. fuel consumption per 100 kilometers has been reduced from 9 to 3 liters. The plan was introduced in response to the growing scarcity of petroleum resources in order to reduce energy consumption and air pollution, and also included the deep meaning of regaining dominance in the automobile market from Japanese manufacturers. In several oil crises, American cars lost the competition with Japanese cars with low fuel consumption due to their large displacement and high cost, and Japanese companies such as Toyota, Honda, and Subaru became a market force that cannot be ignored in the United States. In particular, Toyota has the potential to catch up with and surpass GM and Ford, which makes the proud Americans unbearable.

Therefore, the U.S. government strategically promotes the next generation of automobiles, striving to be ahead of Japanese manufacturers and setting a new generation of industry standards. After the introduction of the automobile policy in the United States, Europe, as the birthplace of automobiles, also began to follow suit, and the world began to abandon the previous guidance policy of large-displacement and high-horsepower automobiles, and began to march towards the new century automobiles with small displacement, which are more environmentally friendly and safe. The "Next Generation Automotive Partnership Program" was originally intended to support the three major U.S. auto giants, but unexpectedly, Toyota competed for the opportunity with the Prius, and for a time Toyota created a historic event in the history of automobiles.

At this time, China has also opened a new situation of the succession of the third generation of leaders, who are shouldering the heavy responsibility of leading the Chinese nation to integrate into the world and participate in global competition. As expected, the deputy prime minister, who has visited Vietnam, has officially become a candidate for the new prime minister due to his repeated economic achievements and handling various thorny issues, and will officially become a regular at the 98th National People's Congress.

The Asian financial crisis worsened, and after the attacks on Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, international financial speculators moved to Asia to attack Hong Kong. Taking advantage of China's unfamiliarity with Hong Kong's return to management, the first wave of attacks was launched against Hong Kong. The Hang Seng Index, which was already in the limelight on the financial market, immediately plummeted, diving from its highest point of 16,000 points in August 1997 to falling below the 9,000-point mark in October.

In line with the overall situation of safeguarding Hong Kong's financial and social stability, the central government has decided to jointly take action with the Hong Kong government to use the country's foreign exchange reserves to fight against international speculators in the financial market and safeguard the achievements of Hong Kong's economic development over the years. In response to the exchange rate market, China announced that the renminbi will not depreciate, supporting the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar, which has suffered huge economic losses for China's exports, which is already worse.

Under the premise of sluggish foreign exports, in order to maintain the growth rate of China's economy, the country urgently needs to find new economic growth points, and the expansion of domestic demand is submitted to the table of the national decision-making level. Referring to Roosevelt's New Deal in the United States during the economic crisis in the thirties, the state invested in the construction of large-scale infrastructure to stimulate the country's economic development, and China also started the construction of a series of major projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as highways, railways, airports, and power stations. Infrastructure alone is not enough, because the state finds that the people's money does not like to spend, and it is deposited in the bank. The prime minister-designate spent the end of the year conducting a nationwide survey to see how we could really find the right countermeasures to expand domestic demand.

In the Yangtze River Delta, where China's economy is the most developed, after inspecting the municipality directly under the central government Hujiang, the premier and his entourage came to Zhehai for investigation and designation, and named them to go to Hushan Huaxia Factory to have a look.

At the beginning in Vietnam, the Huaxia factory made a deep impression on the prime minister. According to internal investigations, in 1996 the total profits of all state-owned enterprises in the country did not exceed 60 billion yuan, and state-owned enterprises alone could not completely solve China's economic problems, and the private economy must play a major role at the same time. As one of the representatives of private enterprises, Huaxia Factory is a model for the prime minister's investigation and investigation, and has an intuitive understanding of the actual situation of China's economy through the experience of dissecting sparrows.

As the head of China's economy and the No. 2 head of the Central Committee, Zhehai Province has paid the highest attention to and received the premier's visit from top to bottom. The new secretary of the provincial party committee has been in place, and he has been transferred from the northeast to parachute in, and he is not familiar with the place when he first came, so he entrusted the governor Zhou Tiannan to be responsible for the specific reception work. As a large province with an active private economy, Zhehai Province is mainly an export-oriented economy, which has been seriously negatively affected by the financial crisis. At a time when many enterprises in the province have declined in the index, the Huaxia factory has risen steadily to ensure the momentum of upward development. In contrast, Huaxia Factory has become the industrial star of Zhehai Province, and its political status is rising.

Han Hao couldn't imagine that the prime minister really came to Hushan to inspect in person, which was the honor of Huaxia Factory.

Different from the last time the governor came in person, this time the security situation is more strict, and there are national and local security forces stationed in the Huaxia factory half a month in advance to investigate all kinds of potential safety hazards one by one. What Han Hao didn't expect was that he actually found two fugitives who committed crimes from the workers of the Huaxia factory, who had infiltrated the factory with fake identities and academic qualifications, and were now found out by the national iron fist by the way.

The whole road was closed, the police car took the lead, the chief and his party got off the Toyota Coaster minibus, and Han Hao had been waiting on the side for a long time.

"Director Xiaohan, we meet again, and I hope that today will be worth the trip. I hope you can speak your mind freely, not only for yourself, but also for the majority of private entrepreneurs. In the current severe international and domestic situation, the country needs to listen to the most authentic voices from the grassroots. ”

I have to say that I have followed the chief's foreign visits, and I can still invisibly stain a lot of light. Like now, the prime minister has not been polite and directly brought the relationship between the two sides closer, and in the eyes of others, Han Hao has a channel to reach the Holy Hearing.

Behind the prime minister, Han Hao also met Xia Zhengde, the new secretary of the provincial party committee, who was an unsmiling person and looked more serious. On the contrary, the governor Zhou Tiannan is a lot of enthusiasm, and now the only company that can visit in Zhejiang Province is Huaxia Factory. We must not let the chief only see difficulties in Zhehai, but also look at the achievements, after all, the economic development of the province has been very rapid in recent years.

Accompanied by the prime minister by the two main leaders of the province, Bo Dongfeng, secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, could not get close and waited for the summons. In the strict hierarchy of officialdom, there is a whole set of rules for the operation of power.

Han Hao personally acted as a commentator and led the leaders to visit the production workshop of Huaxia Motorcycle Factory first.

The prime minister was most concerned about the income of the workers, and he was very happy to learn that the ordinary employees of the Huaxia factory could earn at least 900 yuan a month, which was higher than the salary of many officials.

When I came to the R&D building that Han Hao attaches most importance to, I saw various types of R&D teams, especially learned that Huaxia Factory already has an international advanced model R&D team, which can positively develop new models. After seeing the digital models on the computer screen randomly combined into various models, the leaders couldn't help but nod their heads. Huaxia Motorcycle can dominate the domestic brand, and it naturally has uniqueness.

Hearing that the salary income of R&D personnel is in the early 2,000 yuan, which can reach the level of foreign-funded companies in big cities like Shanghai, and it is already a high salary income in Hushan compared with the same period last year, the prime minister said with a sigh.

"Science and technology are productive forces, and if we Chinese enterprises want to develop and grow, we must put innovation in the first place!"

The motorcycle factory is just an appetizer, and for Han Hao, arranging for the chiefs to inspect Huaxia Automobile is the main dish. The strategic focus of Huaxia Factory in the future is the automotive industry, especially the C1 car project in the future, which requires the entry of the catalog license plate with the prefix of 7, and it is impossible to enter without the nod of the central head. Now that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Han Hao naturally hopes that the prime minister can take a look at the preparations of Huaxia Automobile.

Although the light of China failed to be listed, the second-generation model has been under intense development, and the new prototype has come out. As for the introduction of 1.2-liter engines from AVL and the construction of a transmission plant in a joint venture with GETRAG in Germany, construction has already begun, and the engine production line will be laid under the guidance of foreign parties, and it will soon be ready for ignition trial production. As for the Q1 mini car project and the C1 compact car project in the secret stage, Han Hao also intends to disclose it to the chief, so that they can take a look at the future planning and outlook of Huaxia Automobile.

In particular, Han Hao was ready to admonish on the spot, complete the long-cherished wish that had not been realized before, and ask the state to give private automobile companies a chance to compete fairly.
