The meeting with Zhang Huilai was very pleasant, but before leaving, Zhang Huilai casually asked, "Which state-owned car company is your Lin Daewoo Automobile Company going to make a joint venture with?", but Lin Cheng's heart was like a thunderbolt.

Fortunately, Lin Cheng went through countless storms and waves, and on the surface, he pretended to be light and light, and dealt with Zhang Huilai, but when he returned to his villa, he couldn't wait to hit his head against the wall.

"Damn, I made a mistake, I actually forgot that private enterprises are not allowed to enter the automobile industry in this era!"

Lin Cheng was extremely annoyed, he was simply a pig's brain, if it wasn't for Zhang Huilai to mention it, then he would have lost his adult.

When did private companies start to enter the automotive industry?

By the way, it's April 2001!

Geely Automobile secretly built the first car of a private enterprise in China in 1999, but it was not until two years later that it received a "birth permit" issued by the state.

To tell the truth, domestic laws and policies are really unfriendly to private enterprises, and many industries can be engaged in state-owned enterprises and foreign enterprises, but private enterprises representing national capital are not allowed to do it.

Even if the policy is slightly loosened so that you can do it, it will still impose countless restrictions on private enterprises, so that private enterprises are burdened with huge shackles and "fair competition" between state-owned enterprises and foreign enterprises with large financial strength.

Li Geely, chairman of Geely Automobile, the first person in a private automobile company, once said something extremely sad: "Foreigners can do cars in China, but our own people cannot; if we use the state's money to do cars, we can turn debts into equity and continue to do them, and we can use our own money to do cars but we don't do them!"

It can be seen that the qualification examination and approval of automobile enterprises has made an insurmountable threshold for private enterprises to enter the automobile industry.

It is not easy for private entrepreneurs to flourish under the restrictions of policies!

The development of private enterprises is like a match between the Chinese football team and the Brazilian football team, not only to face opponents who are several points higher in strength, but also to face the referee who favors the Brazilian team.

However, private entrepreneurs are really tough enough, and in the face of such an unfair living environment, they still fight their way out of it.

Looking back on the history of China's private entrepreneurs, Lin Cheng felt that it was not a brilliant honor, but the blood and tears of private entrepreneurs.

However, at this time, Lin Cheng didn't care to pay tribute to the private entrepreneurs, and if he wanted to enter the automobile industry, the top priority was to get a "birth permit" as soon as possible, otherwise his $2 billion investment would become a blank check, and he would become Lin Datou and be laughed at by the people of the whole country.

Joint ventures with state-owned enterprises?

Lin Cheng never had this option in his mind, and he knew too much about the urine sex of state-owned car companies!

State-owned car companies occupy the advantage of joint ventures with foreign car companies, coupled with the huge favorable policies given by the government, it can be said that as long as the state-owned car companies are a little self-motivated, the localization of automobiles is by no means just an empty word.

But what do the state-owned car companies do? They will only join forces with foreign companies to make money from the common people!

Due to policy restrictions, private enterprises are unable to enter the automotive industry, and after the joint venture between state-owned enterprises and foreign capital, the Chinese side finds that it is not too easy to make money.

The foreign side has mastered the core channels of the automobile joint venture, such as design, research and development, and management, and the Chinese side finds that it can make money by only assembling the car and pushing it into the market.

It's so easy to make money, so why do I still work hard to do design and research and development, I can make a lot of money lying down as a large enterprise, why not?!

It is this kind of urine that makes large enterprises become villains who do not want to make progress, only know how to subsidize and policy from the state, and desperately suppress the living environment of private car companies.

Since the possibility of joint ventures with state-owned car companies has been ruled out, how can we get a "birth permit" to enter the automotive industry?

Lin Cheng remembered BYD Auto Company's method of secretly changing the warehouse and saving the country with curves.

Compared with Geely Automobile's sneakiness in producing its first car, Great Wall Motor's "unlicensed" head iron, BYD Auto directly acquired Qinchuan Automobile Company in Changan.

Due to the state-owned nature of Qinchuan Automobile Company, BYD obtained the "birth permit" with a bloodless method, and gained a firm foothold with BYD F3 being popular in the rivers and lakes.

And what is even more commendable is that because BYD started as a battery, it has a huge advantage in the research of electric vehicles, which makes BYD electric vehicles the leader of the world's electric vehicle industry.

It seems that it is quite famous in the national truck market, and this year it has encountered a major financial crisis, so maybe I can take it down in one fell swoop, so as to exchange it for a car 'birth permit'. ”

Lin Cheng racked his brains, and finally reminded him that there was an automobile company with the nature of a state-owned enterprise in eastern Guangdong, which happened to encounter a financial crisis this year, and it was a good time for him to take it down in one fell swoop.

Yuedong Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd., in fact, has nothing to do with South Korea's Samsung Group, but only has the same name.

The impression of the post-70s and 80s generations who hear this name may be a little vague, but when they see the triangular S logo, they must immediately evoke childhood memories.

Once glorious in the 90s, the Samsung car in eastern Guangdong was popular all over the country in that year.

In 1988, the Samsung Automobile Factory, which was originally established by Zhanjiang Agricultural Machinery Factory, only produced light trucks for agricultural transport.

In 1990, Guangdong Zhanjiang Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd. was established, the company is located in Zhanjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Guangdong Province, with a registered capital of 540 million yuan.

At the end of the 80s, Samsung Motor introduced the Daihatsu Delta light truck for production, which was recognized by the state. In 1992, Samsung Motor Corporation began to produce light buses and light trucks. At that time, Samsung was able to produce 30,000 vehicles per year. In 1993, with the permission of the state, it began to produce Mitsubishi, Dodge and other automobile brand models in the CKD method.

After all, the production and assembly are imported models, so the quality of Samsung cars in China was one of the best, and the sales were also very hot, in the mid-90s, a large number of Samsung cars were all over the streets of China.

According to statistics, in the 10 years from 1988 to 1998, Samsung Motors' total assets reached 5.3 billion yuan, and the tax paid for the state was as high as 1.68 billion yuan. There are 2 manufacturing companies, 15 branches, 8 branches, 4 offices and more than 8,000 employees.

It has also been visited and inspected by many party and state leaders, and the former cardinal of the provincial party committee of eastern Guangdong Province, Lin Ruo, also personally inscribed Samsung Automobile as "the horse of western Guangdong".

Why, then, did a car company with such a glorious history disappear in the new century?

Lin Cheng vaguely remembered that the Samsung Automobile Group in eastern Guangdong seemed to have encountered major financial problems this year, and was involved in the "Zhanjiang 9898 extraordinarily large smuggling case" that caused a sensation throughout the country, thus turning from glory to decline.

If he wants to acquire Yuedong Samsung Automobile Group, Lin Cheng must hurry up, otherwise he will definitely be in big trouble if he collides with a huge smuggling case.
