It is at this sensitive moment. He began to negotiate with Rover, a famous British automobile company, to plan a new car base in the south. Rover, an old factory with a history of more than 100 years, is eagerly looking for sellers around the world due to slow growth and heavy losses in recent years.

Yangrong's negotiations with Rover soon escalated to a full-scale joint venture, and the cooperation methods proposed by Yangrong include, after the joint venture, all Rover's products will be moved to China for production, maintaining the existence of Rover's UK R&D center and European sales system, and among the products produced in China every year, the Rover brand will be exported to Europe, and the Chinese brand will be sold in China and the Asia-Pacific region, and Rover will help Brilliance complete the upgrade of the engine and put the Chinese trademark on the engine.

This is a longed-for large-scale joint venture project, and it is the first time that a Chinese entrepreneur has appeared on the international mainstream business stage as an integrator and savior.

After entering the new century, the rise of China began to show a stronger force in the global economic competition, some fast-growing large companies are trying to carry out transnational development and industrial upgrading through mergers and acquisitions, the joint venture between Brilliance and Rover should be one of the earliest and most anticipated projects, compared with the future Lenovo acquisition of IBM's PC division, TCL's acquisition of Thomson color TV, etc., Yangrong seems to show greater initiative and ambition.

If this joint venture is successful, the map of China's automotive industry will be completely rewritten, and even the growth route may be rerouted. The significance of this is huge. It is no less than Brilliance went public in the United States ten years ago.

After the relevant agreements were signed, Yang Rong made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life.

In the calculations of this excellent strategic architect, the moves are precise and interlocking, and all the elements are perfectly in place. It's a pity that he missed a point that seems to be very unimportant, the mentality of the Northeast.

In the eyes of the Liaoning Provincial and Shenyang Municipal Governments, Yang Rong wanted to take advantage of the chaos to slip away this time.

An analyst at an investment bank believes that from the perspective of Liaoning Province and Shenyang City, Yangrong's approach is like hollowing out Jinbei Automobile and letting Jinbei Automobile transfuse blood for his projects in other provinces.

The details of the government's negotiations with Yangrong have never been made public, but the outcome of their negotiations is well known. The government hopes that Yangrong will put the Rover project in Liaoning, and at the beginning of the year, he was promoted from secretary of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee to governor of Liaoning Province, and also put forward a specific plan for Dalian.

But Yangrong insisted on building a factory in Ningbo, but he promised that Shenyang would remain Brilliance's bus base.

Obviously, this was an answer that could not satisfy the government, and in this way, the contradictions suddenly intensified last fall.

The tug-of-war negotiations broke down after the Chinese New Year this year.

In March, the Enterprise Department of the Ministry of Finance issued an official letter to transfer Brilliance and all its derived companies to the Liaoning Provincial People's Government at one time, along with all debts.

The receiving team immediately read the letter to Yang Rong, who continued to act in an uncompromising manner.

On March 21, Brilliance Auto announced the news of a joint venture with Rover in the UK, and invested 100 million yuan to buy the construction land in Ningbo, and paid Rover a one-time technology transfer fee of 15 million pounds.

A week later. The working group was stationed in Shenyang Brilliance and began to comprehensively investigate, verify and receive Brilliance's assets.

In May, Yang Rong flew to Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province to pray for Buddha, and was then admitted to Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. At the end of the month, he quietly went to the United States with a tourist passport and did not return.

In mid-June, the board of directors of Brilliance Auto dismissed Yangrong as chairman and president of the company on the grounds that it had inappropriately made business decisions that were contrary to the Foundation's business policy and therefore failed to take into account the collective interests of the shareholders of the Company.

The next day, the proposal for the cooperation project between Brilliance and BMW was approved at the State Council office meeting. Half a month ago, Zhonghua Car also appeared on the latest vehicle production catalog and was officially approved for mass production.

At the end of June, Yangrong, who was in the United States, sold all his Brilliance China shares in the Hong Kong stock market, cashing out nearly 90 million, so far, Yangrong's speculation that he was out has been publicly confirmed.

After Yang Rong left, the labyrinthine Brilliance system was really not something that outsiders could control, so the most important job for Liaoning was to retain the backbone of the team.

In the end, Yangrong's four assistants, known as Brilliance's four King Kongs, agreed to stay. The retention of these four people makes Yangrong's escape more like a farce of betrayal and separation.

In late August, the launch ceremony of Zhonghua sedan was held in Beijing, and the market price of the first Zhonghua standard product was 170,000 yuan, which became another mid-range domestic sedan that can compete with international brands in the domestic market.

Brilliance, which lacks Yangrong, after all, makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

The trigger for the rupture was the natural termination of the Rover project in Ningbo. At that time, the demolition of the land had been completed, the office building had begun to be opened, the four prototypes of the Rover had been almost completed, the new model was on display in Geneva, the engine was being improved, and Rover, which had strictly followed the agreement, had handed over the list of all production equipment to the Chinese side.

When the new leadership of Brilliance informed Rover and Ningbo on the grounds that the project was wrong, he was shocked and could not answer a reason for explanation. In order to terminate the contract, Brilliance paid more than 200 million yuan.

Of course, even Yangrong of the United States is naturally not willing to end up like this, and he always has to add a little blockage to the Northeast.

Therefore, Yangrong sued the China Financial Education Development Foundation and the Ministry of Finance with the Beijing Higher People's Court through the Hong Kong Huabo Finance Company on the grounds of asset misappropriation and administrative infringement, and the subject matter of the direct litigation dispute amounted to 2 billion yuan, making it the largest property rights dispute case since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Yang Rong is the kind of person who is always setting records. In order to show his legitimacy and selflessness, he even signed a power of attorney, announcing that he would donate all the assets of Brilliance recognized by law to non-profit social groups or charities.

However, it is obvious that the Northeast is very annoyed by this, and the Liaoning Provincial Procuratorate issued a wanted warrant on suspicion of economic crimes, officially approving the arrest of Yangrong. The Beijing People's Court found that Yangrong's lawsuit was not litigable and was not accepted for the time being. Yang Rong instead sued Brilliance China Auto in Bermuda and the Liaoning provincial government in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In the end, they all failed because they were not in the jurisdiction.

The new chairman of Brilliance told reporters that Mr. Yangrong's involvement in the management, operation and business of the group was insignificant.

And an indisputable fact is that after Yang Rong left, the Brilliance system also began to decline, and the grand ambitions promised back then were not realized in the end.

In fact, he himself felt a little remorseful, thinking that he really didn't expect that putting the project in Ningbo would cause so many problems, and if it was placed in Dalian, there might be nothing.

Fan Wuxian watched coldly, but he saw it very clearly in his heart, and he felt a little surprised by Yangrong's actions.

In fact, he is just a capital player, he does not deserve the title of entrepreneur at all, especially in politics is more naïve, I don't know what the situation in the country is, if he can continue to build a new base in the northeast, I believe that there is nothing, but he actually whimsically wants to move the base out, it is a very serious problem.

Shortly after the new governor took office, the largest local companies wanted to relocate, what does this mean? Doesn't this mean that the local investment environment is not good, and investors want to change their ways? Doesn't this mean that investors have no confidence in the new governor?

If he lives with himself, Fan Wuxian feels that if he is the new governor. will also be extremely annoyed by Yang Rong's behavior, isn't this clearly trying to bully people?

No official will let this kind of thing happen, that's for sure.

There is also one of the biggest problems, that is, Yangrong's enterprise is not a completely private enterprise, at that time, for the sake of convenience, he was very unwise to put on the official status of the enterprise, so now the government wants to deal with him, naturally it can raise a reasonable and legal stick, beat him to death, and there is no chance to turn the tables.

After all. Any madman who wants to confront the government will have no good end, and this is also a certainty.

In a word, Yangrong's desire to build a factory elsewhere has directly affected the performance of local officials, which is naturally intolerable, coupled with his extreme ignorance of the unspoken rules of domestic officialdom, as well as his excessive dependence on capital operation methods, he does not know how to establish a territory that completely belongs to him, and wants to take advantage of the situation, which ultimately leads to his own defeat.

Although it is a very clever means to take advantage of the situation, it is not something that anyone can play, Yangrong does not have a full advantage in the officialdom, and he is a rookie in the officialdom who can't get by, so isn't it unpleasant to find it yourself? I don't have the strength, and I still want to dance on top of eggs, and finally I collapse the career I have worked so hard to build.

Looking at Yang Rong and then at himself, Fan Wuxian felt very emotional, if it weren't for his firm determination to take the road of complete sole proprietorship in China, and successfully helped his father Fan Heng to the top leadership, I am afraid that he would not be able to deal with these things calmly.

If we want to develop at the local level, we cannot avoid too much contact with local officials, and in the process of this contact, we cannot avoid the existence of some economic exchanges and financial exchanges, so that it is impossible for any enterprise to stay out of the matter, and it will leave all kinds of handles.

Normally there is nothing to do, but when someone has a grudge against you, and that person has enough power to subvert you, you are in danger.

Considering this problem, Fan Wuxian has some worries about his only joint venture project at present, that is, China Aviation Manufacturing Group Corporation, and this problem should be solved well, otherwise it is likely to have an adverse impact on the entire Fan Investment Group in the future.

To eliminate this negative factor, it needs to be completely separated from Fan's Investment Group.

There are no pop-ups
