Chapter 0407 - Initial Contact
On the morning of the next day, Zhou Jingming, together with Zhao Ke, Wang Yuanchao and He Yingxun, came to the city government and was warmly received by Zhang Shuning, deputy mayor of Gusu City, who was in charge of economic development.
It has been more than 10 years since reform and opening up, and Deng Gongnan's speech has established the guiding ideology of taking economic construction as the center, and Gusu City is naturally no exception, and vigorously grasping economic development has become the top priority of the municipal government.
Relying on the resources of Shencheng, the economic development of Gusu City has indeed made great progress in recent years, but the situation in front of the municipal government is still insufficient employment and economic development can not meet the needs of the people.
The automobile industry as the current sunrise industry in China, the establishment of a vehicle factory, will drive the development of countless downstream industries, to solve many local employment problems, especially like Tianming Automobile Company, it can be said that in the domestic automobile industry, no one knows, for Zhou Jingming is willing to return to his hometown to invest in the factory, Zhang Shuning is naturally unwanted.
Especially when I heard that Zhou Jingming not only plans to build a vehicle factory here, but also a supporting engine factory and a transmission axle factory, and will also settle in Gusu City at the same time, Zhang Shuning is even more overjoyed, and suddenly has three factories with an annual output of 100,000 yuan to invest, which has to make a great contribution to the local economic development!
Therefore, there is no need for Zhou Jingming to say anything more about this matter, Zhang Shuning, on behalf of the Gusu Municipal Government, immediately agreed, even easier than Zhou Jingming imagined.
After talking about this matter in the morning, in the afternoon, Zhou Jingming and his entourage, under the leadership of Zhang Shuning, went to the three development zones in Gusu that were being planned, and prepared to determine the site of the factory.
In the end, Zhou Jingming set the site of the factory in the development zone in the east of Gusu City, and in another five years, that is, in 1994, it will become the famous Gusu Industrial Park, and the factory will be built here, and the subsequent supporting facilities will be more perfect to facilitate the subsequent development.
After doing all this, on the third day, Zhou Jingming signed a memorandum of understanding with the Gusu Municipal Government on behalf of Tianming Automobile Company, and gave the matter a formal form.
In this way, the matter of investing in the construction of a factory in Gusu City, for the time being, as long as everything is ready, the ground can be officially started in mid-October, counting the branch factory in Detroit, Tianming Automobile Company currently has two investment projects under construction, once these two factories are completed, it will have a significant impact on the future layout of Tianming Automobile Company.
After finishing the incident in Gusu City, on the afternoon of the third day, Zhou Jingming and his party of four drove back to Shencheng City.
"The investment project here in Gusu City will be handed over to a few of you to be responsible, senior brother, you as the general leader, Daxun and the third brother, you two are responsible for cooperating with the operation of this investment project, and the faster the construction of the factory, the better. After returning to the company, Zhou Jingming instructed Zhao Ke and the three of them.
He hopes that by the end of next year, the annual output of all factories at home and abroad of Tianming Automobile Company will reach the level of 300,000 vehicles, of which the annual output of Kirin cars shall not be less than 200,000.
If there is such a scale of production capacity, then Zhou Jingming can be more targeted layout of the global market, once successfully won the identity of the sponsor of the Italian World Cup, it is foreseeable that after the World Cup, the global sales of Tianming Automobile Company will show a skyrocketing trend.
Therefore, this investment project in Gusu City is very important to Tianming Automobile Company.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time we've been in charge of this kind of project. Zhao Ke nodded.
"Then the domestic investment project will be handed over to you, next Monday, I am going to go to FIFA to try to get the sponsor status!" Zhou Jingming looked at everyone and said with a smile.
After returning home, He Yingqing was busy cleaning up the room, Zhou Jingming quietly hugged her from behind, put his head on her shoulder, and said softly, "I'm going to go to Switzerland in two days, will you go with me then?"
"What are you doing in Switzerland?" He Yingqing turned her face sideways and asked curiously.
"Go talk about a deal. How about it, do you want to come with me!" Zhou Jingming stared at He Yingqing's good-looking eyebrows and continued to ask.
"You're going to work, wouldn't it be inconvenient if I go with you?" He Yingqing said hesitantly.
"It's not inconvenient at all, this time it's just the two of us, no one else, I'm in Switzerland for four or five days at most, and when the matter is over in Switzerland, I'll take you to the rest of Europe to go around, you are bored at home all day long, but no." Zhou Jingming said with a smile.
The last time I took He Yingqing abroad, it was the Tianming team that lost a time to participate in the WRC in Spain, at that time, because of various things, Zhou Jingming didn't have time to take care of He Yingqing, and after talking about the World Cup sponsorship this time, the company's side, basically there is nothing for Zhou Jingming to worry about, Zhou Jingming can just take He Yingqing to relax in Europe.
It can be regarded as a kind of compensation for not being in the country for a long time ago.
"Isn't it really inconvenient?" He Yingqing continued to ask, although she also wanted to be with Zhou Jingming, she always felt that she couldn't delay his work.
"Really, come with me. ”
"Then I'll go back and pack my things. When He Yingqing heard this, she immediately cheered and said.
In the next few days, Zhou Jingming first accompanied He Yingqing to complete the visa matter, and then used the evening time to prepare the relevant materials.
In this way, soon the next Monday, that is, at the end of September, Zhou Jingming and He Yingqing packed their things and took a plane from Shencheng to Zurich, Switzerland, where FIFA headquarters is located.
When Zhou Jingming first came to Switzerland, he still participated in the Geneva Motor Show with Bosch, and a few years later, this is also the second time Zhou Jingming has come to this Eastern European country.
For a long time, Switzerland has been a neutral country, whether it is World War I or World War II, the war has not affected this country, so the headquarters of various world organizations will be set up in Swiss cities, and this time Zhou Jingming wants to contact FIFA, the headquarters is located in Zurich.
After arriving in Zurich with He Yingqing, it took a whole day to reverse the jet lag.
Because sponsoring the World Cup this time is a very formal thing, and there are many companies that want to appear in this World Cup, so before that, Zhou Jingming needs to submit a formal sponsorship application to FIFA, and wait for the notice from FIFA before proceeding to the next step of negotiation.
On the third day after arriving in Zurich, Zhou Jingming came to the headquarters of FIFA and officially submitted his sponsorship application.
