Chapter 64
"Obviously, we are doing good deeds, but there are a handful of people on the Internet who say that we are selling our fame and reputation, and donating money to education is just a pretense, and in fact we are one of the largest representatives of exploitation capitalists in China. ”
Fang Yiyi is in charge of the day-to-day administration of the Haoxi Foundation, and she wants to see what kind of response she will have made to solve the problem of schooling in the poverty-stricken mountainous area of Chenjiawan.
After the news was reported on the Internet, of course, most people applauded the kindness of Han Shoufu, but there were also many contrarians who criticized it, and even Fang Yiyi, who was interviewed by reporters as a spokesperson, was scolded while lying down. This made her very unhappy, and she specially came to complain to Han Hao and his wife.
At the request of the local government, Han Hao and Chen Lingxi stayed in the local area for an extra day to visit the local customs after attending the unveiling ceremony of the donated school.
"It shows that you haven't adapted to the consciousness of being a public figure, anyway, I have practiced early and will not be inviolable, and what others say will not affect me. ”
Han Hao was happy when he heard it, and thought it was big news, but he didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, which made Fang Yiyi look like a bitter melon.
"Yiyi, everyone on the Internet has it, and others talk nonsense on a whim, and they will make you run and break your legs when they move their mouths, so do you want to live your own life.
When Han Hao announced that I was her girlfriend, the scolding on the Internet was much more fierce than now, and I didn't survive it. You, it's natural to get used to it, and we'll have more opportunities for your foundation to show up in the future. ”
Chen Lingxi also has a light-hearted attitude, but there is no public figure who has not been scolded on the Internet. Fang Yiyi, as the spokesperson of the foundation, will also appear in front of the public for a long time in the future.
"I'm just a little angry, we worked so hard to do such a good thing, but we were denied by someone!"
Seeing that Han Hao and his wife didn't care, Fang Yiyi was angry for most of the time, but he still didn't understand.
"Don't you see the fathers and villagers of Chenjiawan praising us, some things have been popular for a long time, even if it is really like who is willing to build a hope school with real money, it is also a commendable thing, it is better than just talking and doing nothing.
You can take being scolded as a practice, and when you don't move like a mountain and your heart is as calm as water, you can become a teacher. ”
Chen Lingxi still understood Fang Yiyi, and his words completely dispelled the other party's concerns.
When Fang Yiyi left to hand over the visit arrangements with the local government for the day's visit, Han Hao and his wife were left in the house, and they had a more in-depth discussion with each other on the issue just now.
"When I was in college, I found that the Shaw Building on the campus also had the school next door, and later I found out that Mr. Lao's donations were all over China.
After graduation, we may not remember exactly what Mr. Shaw did, but we definitely have an impression of Shaw House. ”
Recalling campus life, Chen Lingxi's face flashed with a faint light, and going to class in Shaw Building on time is an indispensable part of her memory.
"The realm of Mr. Shaw is worth learning from. I hope that in the future, people who come out of Haoxi Hope School will be able to talk about the two of us like us one day.
Anyway, no matter how I scold on the Internet, I have a clear conscience.
It is unconscionable to forget the egalitarianism of the big pot of rice back then, but if you want to go back to the past, the egalitarianism of the big pot of rice is brainless! Let them go back to the past, and no one wants to go back to the social security of the poor materials, and basically they are a group of people who eat with a bowl and put down their chopsticks and scold their mothers.
Reform and opening up is a change of course after the old road has become impassable, and the fact that China's national strength is thriving today is a clear proof of the correct path.
Regardless of whether I am a representative of a big capitalist or not, at least I do not evade taxes and abide by the law, directly or indirectly drive hundreds of thousands of workers to have food, and also pay a large amount of profits and taxes for the country.
The state, the government, and even the general public have their own opinions on who I am. ”
Han Hao believes that he has a strong sense of family and country, and he has not forgotten his concept of building cars for the rejuvenation of China.
"You say you don't care, when there are no outsiders, you haven't revealed your original intentions.
I have always felt that my husband is a big man who stands up to the sky, he does earth-shattering things, and he will definitely not be hindered by some small things, let alone angry.
Of course, for trivial things like changing your son's diaper and painting your wife's eyebrows, you have done a great job and you need to keep it up. ”
After getting along with Han Hao for a long time, Chen Lingxi found that her husband was sometimes like a child who didn't grow up and needed to be coaxed by himself.
When a man opens up to you and shows a side that is difficult for ordinary people to see, it shows that he really loves you.
Thinking of a strong man like Han Hao, who talks everything outside, and changed his face after returning home to see his son and himself, Chen Lingxi felt warm love in his heart.
Donation for education is just an episode, and Han Hao still has to return to the main business of automobiles.
After the private jet sent Chen Lingxi back to Jiangzhou, he continued to fly south, and Han Hao came to Guangfu City to attend the unveiling ceremony of the new factory in Nansha.
As one of the domestic Iron Triangle production bases, the Guangfu base has been vigorously promoted by the local government, and the progress is faster than the Wujiang City base, another corner of the first to start, and it was completed 5 months faster than the other party.
It is no wonder that the Pearl River Delta is known as the forefront of reform and opening up, and the soft environment services here are incomparable to Wujiang City, which is located in the central region.
In the future, the three major domestic production bases built by Jiangzhou, Wujiang and Guangfu will become the iron triangle strategy of Zhonghua Group.
In the distance, you can see the signboard of GAC Toyota, and the two large automobile manufacturers can be said to be adjacent to each other, separated by a main road.
Toyota does have the strength of the world's number one car manufacturer, and after General Motors fell into financial crisis, Toyota took over as the global leader.
The Camry, a mid-level sedan newly put into production last year, beat the former king Honda Accord and Volkswagen Passat as soon as it was launched in the domestic market and became the sales champion in the same class.
In order to complete the product lineup, GAC Toyota will continue to launch the Yaris compact sedan and the Highlander mid-to-high-end SUV this year.
At a time when Toyota has introduced its products to the Chinese market, it is inevitable that the Zhonghua Group will have a short-handed encounter with the other party, and the two sides will have to fight face-to-face sooner or later.
After Guangfu City attracted Honda, Toyota, and Nissan, Zhonghua Group settled down as another heavyweight enterprise, and completed the grand strategy of building a local automobile city.
Originally, Zhonghua Group only produced marginal products such as pickup trucks and light passenger vans at the Jing'an Clouded Leopard base, but now the products at the Nansha base are the main sedans and SUVs, and the competitiveness of the products has changed from heaven to earth. Moreover, along with the landing of Zhonghua Group, there are dozens of supporting parts enterprises, and their arrival immediately made the local originally empty park land prosperous.
The main leaders of Guangfu City personally attended the unveiling ceremony, and it is expected that the Zhonghua Group can bring billions or even tens of billions of tax revenue to the local area every year, which is the new local God of Wealth.
GAC Toyota and Chunghwa Group are clearly separated by the main road, but new forces have emerged outside of the two.
At the recent Hujiang Auto Show, GAC Group officially announced an investment of 6.8 billion yuan to build its own brand, and they will start with mid-to-high-end cars, which are different from domestic car companies such as Zhonghua and Chery that started from low-end cars. Three years later, before the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, GAC's own brand models will eventually be mass-produced.
When it comes to GAC, industry insiders unanimously reflect that it is GAC Honda and GAC Toyota, but GAC is now proposing to build GAC's own brand, which is considered by many to be just talking on paper and just shouting slogans. Because of GAC's lack of technology sources, the original negotiated Toyota old Camry technology has been introduced yellow, and Honda has not been able to hide good things, and GAC's own brand really has no hope for the future.
But now that Han Hao has seen with his own eyes that GAC's own brand project has been working on a large scale, it can be seen that GAC is not just talking on paper, but is ready to really do a big job.
Taking advantage of the fact that Zhonghua Group has driven a large number of supporting suppliers to settle in Nansha, GAC has also set up its own brand factory here, which can take advantage of Dongfeng to develop in the future.
Although GAC kept it secret to the outside world, there were still rumors that Fiat, which had just broken up with NAIC, was not willing to withdraw from the Chinese market and was looking for a new joint venture partner.
GAC is one of the key contact targets, China's auto market sales have increased year by year, and it has become the largest single market outside the United States, and no one is willing to give up this piece of fat.
In order to show its sincerity, Fiat promised to provide technical support for the development of GAC's own brand, and in addition to covering the old engines of 1.6-2.4L, it is also willing to sell the chassis platform of the old sedan, including the Alfa Romeo 166 platform. This is a mid-level executive coupe platform, which is very suitable for GAC's requirements to start from a mid-to-high-end sedan.
It is precisely because of the similar talks with Fiat, Fiat has just redeemed its shares from General Motors, the funding gap is very large, and the Chinese spend a lot of money to buy technical equipment, just as the two sides hit it off and signed a preliminary letter of intent.
In this context, GAC has not waited for the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission, and has begun to quietly start construction of the new factory of GAC's own brand at the Nansha Automobile Base.
"Apply while doing it, otherwise where can we achieve the goal of mass production cars in 3 years!"
GAC has a good relationship with the leadership of the National Development and Reform Commission, so it started construction without waiting for the formalities to be completed.
Although it did not start from the low-end like Zhonghua and Chery, GAC, like other domestic independent brands, went abroad to find technical support to start development. With a certain amount of capital, GAC chooses to follow SAIC, starting with mid-level cars, going up to attack, and retreating down to defend.
After the cooperation between Shanghai and South Africa, SAIC immediately integrated the resources of Nanqi and launched the Roewe 750 intermediate sedan at the Hujiang Auto Show, firing the first shot of its own brand starting from the intermediate car.
Under the adjustment of the baton of national policy requiring the vigorous development of independent brands, the major state-owned car companies that were originally immersed in the joint venture car market and reaped the benefits of fishermen have sacrificed the banner of developing free car brands.
This made the China Group, which was originally a standout among domestic independent brands, face the trend of being besieged, and encountered the provocation of competitors from all sides to beat the master to death.
When any independent brand is born, they are asked about its relationship with the Zhonghua Group, and they have said that they want to bite a big piece of meat from it, and they can no longer let the Zhonghua Group dominate the country.
According to Han Hao's estimate, there are at least three years left for Zhonghua Group to develop independently to get rid of its rivals, because the development of independent brands is not something that can be achieved by shouting slogans. At that time, in 2010, China Automobile will be the world's most lively, but also the most competitive market, not only foreign countries have eight countries, domestic brands also have five generations and ten countries, everyone is all crowded together to fight, only a few survived.
Ordinary consumers shout in reality and on the Internet that people want to buy what kind of car they want, but when it is their turn, they still obediently look at their wallets and vote with their feet. Each product of Chunghwa Group has undergone market research and meets the appetite of Chinese consumers, so Han Hao is not worried about competition in 3 years. He hopes that this will lead to the progress of China's auto companies as a whole, rather than just the Zhonghua Group.
In the hustle and bustle, after Ford Motor accepted all the offers, after careful consideration, officially announced that Zhonghua Group was the preferred bidder of the two major brands of Jaguar Land Rover!
