After the group discussion of the national ZX, the agenda of other meetings continued.

As an honorable member of the national ZX committee, Ren Pingsheng has witnessed the introduction of many far-reaching policies up close, and also felt the importance of the national ZX platform.

Being able to become a member of the current national ZX committee will undoubtedly raise the social level of Ren Pingsheng to another higher platform, and many of the characters he comes into contact with here are not usually seen at all.

The meeting was only held for a few days, and Ren Pingsheng got to know many bigwigs in the same industry, such as Chen Tianqiao of Shengda Network, Xu Jiayin of Hengda Real Estate, Wang Jianlin of Wande Group, Zhang Jindong of Ningsu Electric, etc., and he also met many celebrities in the entertainment industry, such as Yang Lan, Cui Yongyuan, Fan Bingbing, etc......

Compared with holding another conference at the same time, the members of the national ZX conference are more diversified and market-oriented, many of them are leaders in their respective industries, and being able to enter this highest stage is equivalent to providing an opportunity for these elites from all walks of life who rarely meet on weekdays to communicate, enhance friendship with each other, and also strengthen contacts.

It is no wonder that so many entrepreneurs, celebrities, and industry elites want to enter the national ZX, because the starting point here is high, the stage is big, and the connections that can be enhanced are stronger and richer.

Ren Pingsheng naturally will not let go of such a rare opportunity, since he has come to this big stage, he must try to give full play to the opportunities provided by the stage.

Among the ZX committee members he befriended, Ren Pingsheng did not pay the most attention to Chen Tianqiao, who became famous at a young age, nor Xu Jiayin, who was a latecomer, nor Wang Jianlin, who was about to become an opponent, but an ordinary entrepreneur in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This person is Li Wenfu, the founder and chairman of Jixiang Automobile.

......

This is how Ren Pingsheng and Li Wenfu got acquainted.

After the group discussion, Ren Pingsheng had not yet reacted from the state of surprise, and a middle-aged man had already walked over and said in his Mandarin with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent:

"Hello Xiao Ren, I am Li Wenfu of Jixiang Automobile, your speech today is so good, I said what is in my heart, I want to thank you. ”

Ren Pingsheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was not amazing, and even a little bowed, and immediately thought of a series of stories about the development of auspicious cars in his previous life.

Li Wenfu is Ren Pingsheng's hometown, he was born in a peasant family in Taizhou, due to the influence of the environment, Li Wenfu only finished high school, at the age of 19, he devoted himself to testing the waters of business, took the 120 yuan given by his father to start a photography business, and dug the first pot of gold.

After that, Li Wenfu started his entrepreneurial journey by manufacturing refrigerators and refrigerator spare parts, and became a multi-millionaire in the late 80s. After entering the 90s, he began to enter the motorcycle manufacturing industry, and soon made motorcycle sales the leading position of domestic scooters, and also exported to 32 countries such as the United States and Italy.

However, the most profound impact of Li Wenfu is that he announced in 1997 that he would "build a car" and put forward the famous quotation that "a car is nothing more than four wheels and a sofa".

Because the car is not a refrigerator, motorcycle and other industrial products, the technical content of the car is much higher than other industrial products, and the entry threshold of the automobile manufacturing industry is also frighteningly high, the current international, not every country has its own car brand and production capacity, only those with a long history, strong large enterprises can produce cars.

At that time, the mainstream cars were occupied by the joint venture brands of state-owned enterprises and foreign manufacturers, and even the local state-owned enterprises did not dare to get involved in independent manufacturing, and a private enterprise with far less capital and history than state-owned enterprises dared to run out and say that they wanted to build cars, which was undoubtedly a crazy act in the eyes of state-owned enterprises and the people.

But Li Wenfu was not discouraged by the huge gap, he had particularly strong nerves and superhuman willpower, and he would never give in in difficult difficulties. When the enterprise was in a dilemma, Li Wenfu not only did not retreat, but continued to increase investment and research and development, and obtained the qualification for car production through his perseverance and perseverance, and produced the first private car.

A few years later, Li Wenfu opened up the domestic market through price wars and designs close to national conditions, formed three automobile production bases, achieved excellent results in annual sales of 300,000 units, and occupied a place in the field of economical automobiles.

The name of this company is Jixiang Automobile.

Ren Pingsheng was chatting with Li Wenfu while thinking.

......

Judging from the experience of participating in the ZX meeting, the number of representatives of these economic circles engaged in manufacturing is not large, and the general profitability is not very good.

Even if we avoid the recent subprime mortgage crisis, for a long time before that, the profitability of the manufacturing industry was not optimistic, so many industries in the country, only the Internet industry and real estate entrepreneurs are the most nourishing, their products are not affected by external factors and the overall economy, has been able to maintain a rapid development trend.

Ren Pingsheng knows very well that the Internet and real estate industries will have at least ten years of glorious times, and since his rebirth, based on the experience of his previous life, he first chose to cut into the development of these two industries, and also achieved the snowball development of wealth.

However, relying on these two industries alone, although Ren Pingsheng's wealth can continue to climb upward, its influence on the country's overall economic development is very weak, because the Internet is the tertiary industry engaged in information services, the real estate industry is a by-product of the financial industry, and the core and critical of a country must be industry, that is, manufacturing in a narrow sense.

As the most sophisticated industrial product that ordinary people can buy, automobiles have always been regarded as the crown jewel of the industrial system.

Whether a country can manufacture automobiles or not directly represents its industrial level.

To date, automobiles remain the most complex industry among mass-produced civilian products. Tens of thousands of parts, and the design life is often ten years or more, during which they have to be tortured by the sun, wind, and rain. It requires maintenance to be as simple as possible, as low cost as possible, and as reliable as possible.

Because of the complexity of the automotive product itself, the management of on-site production, equipment, warehousing, logistics and other aspects will encounter a very big test. In order to solve these problems, the automotive industry must constantly improve its production management methods.

Therefore, since the rise of the automobile industry, it has always had the most advanced management system in the manufacturing industry, and these management systems have always been the first to be born in the automobile industry. For example, the large-scale assembly line production invented by Ford and the lean production model proposed by Toyota all started from the automobile industry and then slowly spread to other industries.

The automotive industry is also a highly integrated industry, with a long industrial chain covering almost all manufacturing sectors. For example, metallurgy, electronics, chemical industry and so on. To produce a car that is accepted by the market, it proves that it needs to reach a fairly high level of maturity in many more aspects. Such as energy, automation, electronics, materials, design, aesthetics, marketing, etc.

The country has a strong automobile industry, which can fully indicate that it has reached a certain height in the accumulation of related industries, technologies and talents, as well as the interaction and integration between them.

At the same time, the complex and long industrial chain of the automobile industry can provide a large number of jobs for the masses. Just imagine, an automobile OEM needs dozens or hundreds of first-tier suppliers, plus a dense number of second-tier suppliers, which can drive hundreds of thousands of jobs. It can be seen how much the manufacturing industry, represented by the automobile industry, can contribute to social employment.

According to statistics, the GDP growth curve of most countries in the world is highly consistent with the growth curve of the automobile industry, and the level of the national automobile industry is also highly consistent with the ranking of economic strength and comprehensive national strength.

One can imagine how important the automobile industry is to the whole country.

Up to now, Ren Pingsheng has achieved his small goals in life, but he still has many big goals that have not been achieved.

Being able to apply the knowledge and abilities he has since his rebirth to the development of the country is one of Ren Pingsheng's great goals as a Chinese.

The outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis is just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of us, and if we can seize the opportunity to win one or two of the world's top automobile industry giants, it will be of great significance to achieve our own big goals and promote the development of the country's industry.

Looking at Li Wenfu, who was talking about the car endlessly, Ren Pingsheng had some ideas in his heart.
