From Yuejin to Iveco, all of NAIC's products are lined up and ready to be reviewed by the chief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As one of the sons of the Republic, the development of Nanqi has been too unsmooth in recent years, and it has been left far behind by brother manufacturers.

Positioned as the country's main light vehicle production base, light buses and light trucks are the only areas that Nanqi people are proud of, and Iveco and Yuejin trucks have entered the top three in the domestic similar market.

However, compared with the car that can bring a lot of money, fame and fortune, whether it is a light passenger or a light truck, it cannot satisfy the people of Nanqi. The automobile management directory is like a rope tightly wrapped around the neck of Nanqi, making it unable to participate in the domestic market competition with all its might, and the lack of car license plate is an eternal pain in the hearts of Nanqi people!

Behind Iveco and Yuejin Truck, there is the Ingle car that Nanqi used to steal from the agricultural vehicle project, and its petite body makes it difficult not to find its existence in a group of thick people.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below.

The huge cake of the car market not only makes the private enterprise Zhonghua Group yearn for, but also makes Nanqi, an honest child who has always been honest, quietly move his crooked mind.

"It is elementary school students who build trucks, middle school students who build buses, and college students who build cars!"

The industry's accepted saying is a lure to all Chinese auto companies in the sedan sector.

Trucks have been built, buses have been built, and you can graduate smoothly if you pass the grades, and now you can always go to college, right?

Nanqi, which holds the two major production resources of trucks and buses, has long had the impulse to develop to a higher level, and it is natural to enter the field of cars.

The Inger sedan technology is derived from the Spanish company SEAT's Ibiza model, which was born in 1984. Due to the joint venture between SEAT and Volkswagen, the old product line was sold, and Nanqi took this opportunity to take over, and the prototype "Toledo" (Toledo) obtained by Chery was also obtained from the company.

Because Chinese auto companies are hungry for car technology, second-hand production lines from Spain have come to China. This reflects a wave of trends, that is, the world's auto industry is shifting to China.

From the perspective of relationship, Nanqi Ingle and Chery Fengyun are related to each other. But in terms of honesty, the technology of Ibiza comes from Fiat, and the Touredo model comes from Volkswagen, so although Ingle and Fengyun are from the same family, they don't look like each other at all.

The prime minister came to Suwu Province to inspect, and Nanqi is a must-visit point. As one of the largest industrial enterprises in Suwu Province and with tens of thousands of employees, Nanqi is the focus of observation in the reform of state-owned enterprises.

In order to welcome the arrival of the prime minister, NAIC has been preparing for a long time, and all the automotive products lined up on the scene are the report cards of NAIC.

The prime minister, who is known for his shrewdness and strictness, has set off a wave of drastic reform of state-owned enterprises, hitting the reef of state-owned enterprises like Nanqi in waves.

Although Nanqi is less than the above, it has more than a good time to get by, and the prime minister did not express too many opinions after looking around.

Coming to the front of the Nanqi products standing in a row, the prime minister's eyes swept over the various models that condensed the development history of Nanqi, and as expected, he briefly stopped his gaze on Ingle, who had the shape of a sedan.

The state has repeatedly ordered that unapproved automobile companies are not allowed to carry out car projects in the name of various means, and the prime minister knows exactly what Ingle is coming from.

At this time, the leaders of Nanqi who accompanied the inspection raised their hearts to their throats, and if the prime minister revealed even a trace of dissatisfaction, Ingle would immediately dismount and seal it.

Fortunately, the prime minister quickly turned his attention to the next place and did not express an opinion on Ingle, as if he had not seen it.

What does this mean?

When the prime minister acquiesced in the failure to expose NAIC's tricks, it means that the country's high-level officials are no longer strictly guarding the car field.

No statement is the biggest attitude, the state is no longer clearly opposed to the car companies on the car, the opportunity to loosen is coming soon.

The prime minister walked around several provinces in the country and came to a general conclusion in his mind.

On the whole, the reform of state-owned enterprises has initially achieved the preset goals, and many enterprises have begun to slim down and glow with some vitality. Although layoffs have brought a certain impact on social stability, the long-term pain is better than the short-term pain, and the working class at the bottom has made huge sacrifices and endured the pains of the economic transformation of a huge country.

Why is it necessary to set the three-year goal for the reform of state-owned enterprises in a blanket manner, why is the reform measure so extensive, and why is it necessary to replace market self-regulation with administrative means? Just so that China can lay a relatively good foundation in the economic field before formally joining the WTO.

Development is the foundation for solving all problems, and in order to continue to accelerate China's reform process, the top level does not hesitate to borrow external forces to force reform.

After joining the WTO, where will China's economy go?

Even the world's top economists dare not assert easily, because many Western economic theories will always fail in China, a country with its own unique operating model.

At the moment when China and the United States reached an agreement on customs access, China had no way out and was completely tied to the chariot of globalization.

Developed countries covet access to China's huge market of 1.2 billion people, while Chinese look forward to using foreign capital and technology to completely complete the industrialization process.

The prime minister will take a special plane to Europe ahead of schedule, where he will visit six EU member states, including Germany, and visit the EU headquarters to make the final sprint for the WTO negotiations between China and the EU. Negotiations between China and Europe have been fruitless for a long time, and Europeans have a greater appetite and demand more than the Americans.

"The standard reached by the Americans and the Chinese is only 80% of what we expected, and the remaining 20% needs to be negotiated by ourselves!"

Facing the media cameras, the representative in charge of EU negotiations said it without shame.

The United States reached a bilateral agreement with China at the end of 1999, and many people thought that an agreement between China and the EU would soon be reached, but the EU suddenly hardened itself in two rounds of bilateral negotiations and put forward many conditions that China could not accept.

For example, China is required to liberalize its telecommunications market and give EU member states the opportunity to control more than 51% of their shares. In terms of import tariffs on automobiles, China is required to adjust the tariffs to 17.5 percent all at once, which is very different from the condition that the United States accepts 25 percent.

"The Chinese are too concerned about negotiations with the United States and do not pay enough attention to us in Europe. ”

The tone of the EU negotiator's words also reflects the EU's desire to let the Chinese understand its own weight. Although the EU is the most important partner of the United States, the EU is also an independent economy in the world.

There are a total of 15 member states, and the overall EU negotiations are the first level, and China still needs to reach consensus agreements with the United Kingdom, Germany, France, etc. on the second level. In addition to the will of the EU as a whole, each member state has its own unique agenda. For example, France is asking for lower tariffs on cosmetics and luxury goods, and Germany is asking for lower tariffs on auto parts. These factors have greatly slowed down the process of negotiations between China and the EU.

With the passage of time, China's hope of joining the WTO before the end of 2000 has become increasingly slim, so the prime minister has to visit Europe in advance to lobby for China and call on the EU to take a more long-term view, and the cooperation between China and the EU outweighs the differences.

Germany is the EU's closest trade partner with China, and the Chancellor's visit to Germany was warmly welcomed by the local business community.

Volkswagen is the most successful German company in China, and under its demonstration effect, more and more German companies are investing in China. Many Volkswagen employees who have worked in China are still old acquaintances with the prime minister. When the prime minister was in charge of Hujiang City, SAIC Volkswagen was the famous No. 1 mayor project in the local area.

In the mid-80s, there was a road that passed through the SAIC Volkswagen plant for historical reasons, and the dust and noise it brought affected Santana's production, and the Germans complained to the relevant departments of the city government many times but could not solve it. In the end, I had no choice but to react to this problem when the prime minister, who was the mayor of Hujiang at the time, came to inspect.

"We'll fix this tomorrow and delay any longer!"

The Chancellor's resounding words made the Germans feel a drum in their hearts, can the busy road be solved in just one day?

The next day, the Germans miraculously found that the road was empty, and no cars could be seen passing by.

It turned out that the local government transferred two large cranes, which were directly blocked in the middle of the road at the intersection of one entry and one out of the factory, and other vehicles could no longer pass and had to take a detour, and the hidden dangers that had plagued the SAIC Volkswagen factory for a long time were solved by the prime minister.

This made the Germans understand what administrative efficiency with Chinese characteristics is.

"We in China warmly welcome investment from abroad and will create a good investment environment for enterprises to develop. The Chinese Government will abide by its WTO accession commitments, speed up the improvement of the domestic investment environment, improve various laws and regulations, and gradually and orderly open up the domestic market!"

At the welcome dinner prepared by the German government for China, the chancellor delivered a speech welcoming investment in China, and at the same time called on the EU to reach a bilateral WTO agreement with China as soon as possible to form a win-win situation.

There were many representatives of well-known German companies attending the dinner, and entering China will be an important strategy for them in the future. The chairman of the Volkswagen Group, Piëch, sat in the center, and he was born in Audi and single-handedly brought the Volkswagen Group on the right track and became the famous "Godfather of Volkswagen".

The early entry into China allowed Volkswagen to reap the rewards handsomely. According to a report by market analysts at Goldman Sachs, half of Volkswagen's profits come from China. Santana and Jetta, which are ubiquitous on Chinese roads, are Volkswagen's most successful investment products.

Under the premise that other international auto giants have entered China, Volkswagen must increase investment in China, launch more advanced models, and continue to maintain its leading position.

Representatives of Mercedes-Benz and BMW also attended the event, and the Chinese market will be an unavoidable topic in the future, so it is not to be missed to take the opportunity to contact the top level of the Chinese government to establish good relations.

Due to the merger with Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz has entered the Chinese sedan market to a certain extent, and the Jeep Cherokee is listed in China as a 7-figure sedan. Although the Mercedes-Benz brand is a joint venture with Yaxing in commercial vehicles, Mercedes-Benz does not seem to have made up its mind to introduce it in the field of sedans.

With Volkswagen introducing Audi to FAW, BMW has not made a clear statement about the German car brand.

During the free interview session, BMW Chairman Punk seized the opportunity to come to the Chinese Premier and expressed BMW's strong willingness to enter China.

"Really?"

When he heard from the chairman of BMW that BMW had chosen a partner in China, the prime minister could not react for a while.
