Chapter 184, Automobile Joint Venture

What kind of life Li Ya is living, he has long been clear. Work hard and strive for the realization of the four modernizations. This is the concept he upholds, but sometimes he is really tired, and he also envies the days of lazy people like Li Ya.

Everyone is not an idle social person like Li Ya, and they must pay attention to the influence, so the hotel where the party gathers is very ordinary.

Li Ya and Yan Yuanchao arrived at the hotel and entered the private room of the party, and there were only two or three people at a glance. "We're not too late. Li Ya said.

"You kid, you've been with us for so many years. A stout middle-aged woman said.

"Sister Cheng, everyone is busy, isn't it? Li Ya said.

"Li Ya, I haven't seen you here for many years, do you still recognize who I am?" asked another female classmate next to him.

"Ding Wan, one of the three golden flowers in our class, who can forget?" Li Ya said with a smile, "In the past, our male classmates also discussed which stupid boy would be cheaper." ”

"Cheaper than the silly boy next to me. Yan Yuanchao said with a smile.

"Sun Yiwei?" Li Ya suddenly realized and said, "No wonder you rarely spoke when you were discussing back then, it turned out that you had already had a thought!"

"Long time no see, Li Ya. Sun Yiwei greeted.

"It's been a long time, and I don't know if you're married. Li Ya said, "Otherwise, why would you come to ask for a cup of wine." ”

"Don't you do the same, we don't know if you're married. Sun Yiwei said.

"I, I got married early, and you hadn't graduated yet. Li Ya said, "What about you?"

"We also got married early after graduation. Sun Yiwei said, "The children are eleven." What about you, my kid is in middle school, right?"

"How can you. Li Ya smiled, "I'm only in the first grade this year. ”

"You're busy with your career first!" Ding Wan said with a smile.

"That's what you're guessing wrong. Li Ya smiled, "Actually, it's to play a few more years while you're young." ”

As he was talking, another classmate arrived, said hello, sat down and bragged, no one came for a long time, Li Ya looked at the time, and said, "Who else hasn't come? ”

"There are three more. Cheng Ying said, "These people's time is really precious, so they have to pinch it." ”

As soon as the words fell, two more came in, and now only the last one remained.

After waiting for a while, no one came yet, and Cheng Ying planned to call the waiter to come over and order. At this moment, a delicate voice sounded: "Husband, why are you gathering in such a broken place?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do. Then the door opened, a man and a woman walked in, Li Ya looked at Yan Yuanchao, and Yan Yuanchao made a lip sync.

Looking at Yan Yuanchao's mouth, Li Ya confirmed that he was not mistaken, and it was Zhou Guoqing who came. It's just that the current Zhou Guoqing has a shy chest and bulging belly, and he has gained a lot of weight, so he really can't recognize it at once. The woman next to him was dressed up in fancy fashion and was full of pretentiousness.

"Don't come early. Cheng Ying said, "We'll all order later." ”

"Feel free to do whatever you want, and that's what the food is here. Zhou Guoqing said, took out his cigarette, "Come on, come on, everyone smoke." ”

One person divided a cigar, and Li Ya looked at it, it seemed to be a famous brand. Several other people clicked and smoked, and Li Ya played with it in his hand, but he didn't order it.

"Li Ya, why don't you order it?" asked Zhou Guoqing.

"I don't smoke. Li Ya explained.

"Don't smoke? Smoking and drinking are inseparable from these two things in business. Zhou Guoqing said. Although Li Ya has been doing business a long time ago, after Zhou Guoqing went to the sea, he has been asking what kind of business Li Ya is doing, and he thinks that Li Ya is just a small boss. Although he has not been in the sea for a few years, now that his business is doing well, he thinks that he has already surpassed Li Ya too much, and he is more to show off when he says this.

"Smoking is bad for your health!" Li Ya sighed.

"Don't listen to the tobacco companies. Zhou Guoqing said, "I've been smoking for so many years, it's not the same as healthy?"

This gathering was originally for everyone to reminisce about the past, but it became a show-off meeting for Zhou Guoqing, and he was talking about it from beginning to end, looking like he was out of the world for his generation.

When he took a taxi back, Li Ya sighed: "What a big change!"

"You say he?" Yan Yuanchao said, "Indeed. "I used to love dazzling, but it wasn't like it is now.

"This kind of party is really boring, you should not attend it in the future. Li Ya said. At today's gathering, except for Yan Yuanchao and Cheng Ying, only one did not come up to compliment Zhou Guoqing. Those who make fun are all people who work in the unit! Look at that, sooner or later there will be problems.

"I don't think it's boring either. Yan Yuanchao said.

Next, Yan Yuanchao's unit had something to do, and his sister-in-law and Yan Xing accompanied him to visit a few scenic spots, left the capital, and went to Shanghai.

Li Lin's grandparents also came to Shanghai to see Li Lin.

I played with Li Lin for two days, and the holiday was almost over, but fortunately everything went well, and I arrived home the day before the holiday.

The two tutored Li Lin every day at home, and occasionally went to the field to help, and their lives were light and fulfilling.

Although he didn't care much about the group's affairs, the following companies were doing well.

Several major companies, such as mobile phone companies, have come up with new models; chip companies are in short supply of chips; machine tool companies have developed new products; and engine companies have not stopped selling gas turbines for thermal power generation equipment, although engine sales are not good.

"The situation is very good!" Li Ya is happy, after the companies under the group are on the right track, the development is getting better and better, and there is no need for the two of them to worry about it. The equipment installation of the joint venture automobile factory is nearing completion, and Li Ya accompanied Shu Yue to watch the trial production this time.

After the trial production, a simple celebration party was held in the factory restaurant.

"Mr. Shu, Mr. Chen, there are only simple meals in the restaurant, I have wronged you. Wu Qiming, chairman of the joint venture, said apologetically. Originally, he arranged to go to the best local hotel, but Shu Yue and Chen Yin refused, Shu Yue said at the time: "It's just that the trial production was successful, and there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful." When our joint venture sells 100,000 or 1 million cars, it's never too late for us to celebrate. ”

Of course, Wu Qiming is as good as a stream, although he is the chairman and the boss, but this factory is a joint venture after all. The state owned 30 percent, and he accounted for 30 percent, but the money was lent to him by the Shanshui Group. If the operation is not good, the factory collapses, and he can't afford to pay back the money, so he is under a lot of pressure, if it is not for the support of his car dream, he will definitely not dare to borrow money to build such a large factory.

As soon as the trial production ended, it was followed by advertising. There is a saying in the march and war: the soldiers and horses are not moved, and the grain and grass go first. They also borrowed this saying: the car is not mass-produced, and advertising comes first. First of all, put out the advertisement, so that everyone is familiar with Huacheng Automobile Factory and Huacheng Automobile.

To say that there are many car brands at this time, except for a few brands of joint venture cars, other cars are similar in technology and quality, and the quality of the cars produced by the joint venture factory is obviously better than other local brands in China, and it is not much worse than the joint venture cars, but the price is not much higher than other domestic brands, so they are very confident in the competitiveness of their cars.

The most popular advertisements are the reports of several newspapers.

The prototype car made first, Chen Yin took the method of testing the engine, and let people set up the prototype car and other brands of new cars to form a team across several provinces, all kinds of tosses on good roads, and then came back for testing, and invited reporters to follow from beginning to end.

As soon as the results came out, several reporters were very happy, and they were excited that the domestic car was able to catch up with the quality of the joint venture car. After opening the country, everyone found that many domestic industries are very backward in technology. After a long time, although many people are not convinced, they have to accept the fact that domestic technology is backward. But now there is a car that can compete with foreign brands, so that they can clear the fog on their minds and realize that others can, so can we!

There are many people discussing their reports, but there are not many people who really have the ability to buy and be tempted, because there are not many people who get rich first now, and most of them already have cars. The first thing that really gets the benefits is the Sino-foreign joint venture automobile factory.

Sino-foreign joint venture automobile factories use other people's technology and produce foreign brand cars, but the technology used is one or two generations behind, and people will not share the most advanced technology, so isn't that training their own opponents? In fact, the status quo of Sino-foreign joint ventures is contrary to the purpose of establishing joint ventures in China. Now that there are competitors of foreign brand cars, the Chinese executives in the joint venture factory can use this as an excuse to ask for more advanced technology.

Li Ya didn't know that their automobile factory had indirectly created favorable conditions for Sino-foreign joint ventures, and if he did, he would have been very happy. It's best to squeeze out their skills, and then Li Ya will dig people over.

The product quality is excellent, and the market is good. In just a few days, many people have already called and wanted to become dealers.

Wu Qiming spent many years in the automobile factory, worked as a technician, and also worked in sales, and later resigned to establish an auto parts factory, and he also accumulated a lot of experience in operation. The quality of a dealer determines the sales performance of the product in the region, so he attaches great importance to the selection of dealers and interviews himself.

After his interview with qualified dealers, he stayed in the factory for a period of training, the training content is mainly the technical indicators of Huacheng Automobile, the comparison with other brands, the establishment of the sales center, a set of completion, before putting back to establish the sales center.

Li Ya didn't know what the car factory was doing, he and Shu Yue had already left, just waiting to see the sales results of the car after it went on the market.
