After returning to China, Zhou Jingming did not rush back to Shencheng, but first went to Yanjing, visited Li Mingzhe, and asked about the auto finance license by the way.

"Minister Li, the main reason I came this time is to ask about the financial license of our Tianming Group, when will it be issued?" After some greetings, Zhou Jingming asked directly.

"I still have to ask my eldest brother about this, and I'll tell you later, what's the matter, your group is ready?" said Li Mingzhe with a smile.

"The structure of the auto finance company has been set up and is currently in trial operation within our group, as long as the license is obtained, we can officially be listed for business. ”

"You wait a little longer, although the central bank does not object, but after all, it is the first time in China, and it will definitely study a set of implementation plans, and at the latest next year, I guarantee that your auto finance company can officially operate externally." ”

Li Mingzhe paused, and then continued, "Since you are here, then I will save another trouble, the research and development of Hongqi R50 car, you have to keep an eye on me, the time node must be stuck, and there can be no mistakes in quality, this matter must not be sloppy!"

"I can carry it clearly, Minister Li, you can rest assured. Zhou Jingming nodded solemnly, the car used in the 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Jingming is bold, and he doesn't dare to fight in this matter.

Over the years, Zhou Jingming has made many contributions to the development of FAW and Hongqi "free of charge", in addition to the core technology, Tianming Group's sales channels and R&D team have served FAW.

There is no one in the group who does not understand this, and thinks why should Zhou Jingming use his personal resources to serve state-owned enterprises?

But Zhou Jingming doesn't think so, is his contribution over the years really "unpaid"?

In a small aspect, if Tianming Group does not contribute its own strength, why did the state and the Ministry of Machinery support Zhou Jingming's overseas actions so many times, and why did the banking system use to set a precedent for Tianming Group?

In the big picture, without the rise of the entire Chinese automobile industry, what is the significance of Tianming Group in the world?

To put it cheesily, everything Zhou Jingming is doing for Hongqi now is actually making investment, but Zhou Jingming is investing in the country and the government this time, and what this investment brings to Tianming Group is definitely not something that can be measured by simple money.

"I'm relieved to have your words, the R50 is a car of great significance after all, otherwise I wouldn't have said that I paid so much attention. Li Mingzhe paused, "If you have time tomorrow, come with me to Spring City, if you don't personally understand the research and development status of this car, I really can't rest assured." ”

"No problem, then I'll go to Spring City with Minister Li tomorrow. Zhou Jingming nodded hurriedly.

After all, Chuncheng is the luxury car production base of Tianming Group, and Zhou Jingming can also take this opportunity to learn about the preparation of the "Yanhuang" car production base.

Hongqi R50 this car, is FAW Hongqi and Rolls-Royce designers jointly participated in the design, since the project, it is only a few months now, is still in the design stage, has not entered the substantive research and development stage, but before 1999, it must be able to complete all the design and assembly work.

After staying in Spring City for two days, Zhou Jingming returned to Shencheng.

"Chairman, the borrowed funds from Huaxi Village have been transferred to our group's account, and the financial company has been in trial operation within the group, in addition to the group's regular financial work, the financial company has gradually taken over all aspects of the group's financing business. ”

On the second day after returning to Shencheng, Zhou Jingming entered the state of work, and at this time, Ma Xudong was reporting to him about the relevant work of the auto finance company.

After listening to Ma Xudong's report, Zhou Jingming was a little surprised, it had only been half a month, and Ma Xudong had already integrated the financial company so fully.

"Lao Ma, I asked Minister Li a few days ago, at the latest next year, the financial license will definitely be issued to us, and in the next period of time, you have to work hard to keep an eye on it, and the financing work required by the follow-up group must be responsible for you. ”

"Chairman, have you ever considered the listing and financing of our group?" Ma Xudong hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"Going public?"

Zhou Jingming was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

The domestic A-share market has just begun to start, the momentum is very strong, if Tianming Group chooses to be listed in China, it is definitely the first domestic auto stock!

Before Zhou Jingming's rebirth, it was not uncommon for domestic automobile manufacturers to go public, Changan Automobile and SAIC were listed as a whole in the form of a group, and Great Wall Motors was the first car company in China to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market, and FAW was not listed as a whole, but its subsidiary FAW Car was listed, but FAW Car lost money year after year, and the stock market value also fell again and again.

Looking at foreign countries, the phenomenon of automobile manufacturers going public is more common, and none of the world's top ten automobile manufacturers is not listed companies.

"Since we have carried out the shareholding reform and collectivization, it is natural for the group to go public. If the chairman feels that the domestic stock market is unstable, he can also try to go public in the United States, so that we can have more funds for the development of the group. ”

Ma Xudong continued.

"I'm not in a hurry to go public for the time being, let's wait for a few years. In the end, Zhou Jingming still shook his head.

The listing of the group is not a trivial matter, there is less than a year left before the Southeast Asian financial crisis, this time period is not suitable for any large-scale financing work, and now Tianming Group has not yet developed to the heyday stage, the scale is too small to go public for financing, but it will hinder the development of the group.

Although Brilliance Jinbei Automobile Company was indeed successfully listed in the United States in 1992 and became the first company in China to be listed in the United States, at that time, Brilliance Jinbei was listed in the United States through "joint ventures" and "indirect holdings", which was not exactly the same as the nature of Alibaba and other companies listed on the NASDAQ.

If Zhou Jingming chooses to be listed in the United States, it will definitely be Alibaba in nature, not in the nature of a joint venture.

Since Zhou Jingming vetoed this proposal, Ma Xudong didn't say anything more, and Ma Xudong thought that he was not as good as Zhou Jingming in terms of the overall development plan of the group.

Next, the two exchanged a lot of opinions on the operation of the auto finance company, and just as Ma Xudong was about to leave, Zhou Jingming suddenly stopped him,

"Lao Ma, go back and count with your colleagues in the finance department to see how much money the group can use, and I am ready to sponsor several events of the South American Football Association. ”
