…… After Jiang Luo promised that Fan Wu's office computer was used to post the Wanjia Luping incident, it took less than a day to obtain detailed information and screen and analyze these materials. I've finally figured it out.
This time around. He also walked out of the hands of the Shanghai Gang, and the person who shot was also familiar to Tong Yu and Shan, and he was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee named Li Jinchuan. It's just that this person has just come to Shanghai to take up a post, and he used to be in charge of political and legal work in Donghai Province.
"Do you want to go deeper?" When his subordinates reported to Jiang Luo, they asked.
Jiang thought about it for a while. Shaking his head and saying, "That's it, just give the information to Mr. Fan." There is no need for us to get involved in this kind of thing, so as not to cause trouble. ”
Jiang Luoxin said that Fan has no illness and no scruples, but we can't afford to provoke these troubles when we are idle, in case we draw out any big fish again, even if it gets into trouble with the Politburo, it can't solve the problem, so why let ourselves get involved?
Fan Wuxian didn't expect Jiang Luo to ask him, so be careful. Staying out of the matter, when he received the intelligence information from Jiang Luo, he was attending Geely's new car conference in the capital.
In this hot summer, Li Shufu, a grassroots entrepreneur, unexpectedly got the first private enterprise car manufacturing license (Fan Wuxi's one can't be regarded as a pure private enterprise, and his identity as a car company is too complicated, so don't mention it).
In June this year, the State Economic and Trade Commission issued the fifth batch of "Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Announcement", a product called "Geely Biyu." 's unfamiliar models are on the list.
In the history of domestic automobiles, this is an unprecedented event. Because the emergence of Geely means that private capital to make cars has been officially approved by the government for the first time, this matter has also been interpreted as China's accession... The policy of opening up major industries.
However, it has been 22 years since multinational capital was allowed to enter China's auto industry.
Fan Wuxian still has deep respect for Li Shufu, who built Geely cars, this private boss is only thirty-seven years old, when he was building cars, it can be said that the conditions are not mature, only about 100 million yuan of his own funds, without any experience and accumulation in the automobile industry, and without any government support, but it is such a reckless man who finally pried open the closed iron door. The address of this site has been changed to Xia: Liaolian Concave Pengqing embedded, please log 6 round reading
Probably to commemorate this event, Geely specially invited many well-known people to participate in the new car conference. also invited Fan Wuxi as usual, but he himself didn't expect Fan Wuxi to really come.
Fan Wuxi's appearance still caused a commotion among the crowd, and Li Shufu ran out to greet him.
Fan Wuxian congratulated Geely on the launch of the new car and gave him his own gift, for which Li Shufu expressed his great gratitude. At the same time, there is some emotion.
Li Shufu, who graduated from high school, is a person with gambling genes in his blood, he said to Fan Wuxi, I gambled when I was a child, for example, I won a dollar, put it all down, put it all down, put it all down, put it all down, put it all down, put it all down, changed it all to eight yuan, and then put it all down, and changed it to sixteen yuan. Some people win a dollar. Just take back five cents, and he won significantly less money than me. But this kind of trick may be gone for the last time, and there will be no points left. ”
As he himself described, in the following 20 years, Li Shufu put down all the money he earned every time and gambled on an industry.
At first, he made some money by taking pictures of others, and a year later he went to open a photo studio, and then made some money as a concubine, and a year later he went to set up a refrigerator accessories factory and made money again. Two years later, he simply set up a refrigerator factory called Arctic Flower.
The refrigerator factory turned out to be very profitable, and he soon became a famous local multimillionaire.
However, at this time, the macroeconomic regulation and control of the late 80s was born, the political atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense, and the private economy encountered a cold snap. Some owners have turned over their factories to collectives. Li Shufu was nervous, and also handed over the workshop, inventory, land, and the bankbook of the factory. He took tens of millions of yuan in cash and went to Shenli University for further study.
After escaping the limelight for a while, Li Shufu returned to Taizhou to continue his work.
1993. He was determined to build motorcycles.
At that time, the coastal villages had become wealthy, and motorcycles had become not only a symbol of young people's pursuit of fashion, but also the best means of short-distance transportation of goods. Although Li Shufu has no experience in making motorcycles at all, he is a genius who walks around red lights. If you don't have technology, you dig people around, and if you don't have drawings, you dismantle other people's cars and draw scoops on gourds.
The most important thing is that there is no license, he went to the motorcycle management office of the Beijing Machinery Department and asked people that they wanted to produce motorcycles, is it approved here?
The official who was asked asked him rhetorically, do you know the national industrial policy?
Li Shufu replied that it had been published in the newspaper.
The official immediately laughed. Just say you see it, what are you doing here?
However, this matter still did not stump Li Shufu, he quickly found a state-owned motorcycle factory on the verge of bankruptcy, spent money to buy a license, just at that time Taiwan's Guangyang company had just produced a scooter motorcycle, very popular with female riders, Li Shufu immediately introduced it, became the first manufacturer of the motorcycle in the big 6.
The success of Geely Motorcycle has made Li Shufu a real meaning
In 1997, probably stimulated by Hong Kong's return to the motherland, he suddenly had a whim and announced that he would build a car.
At that time, China's auto industry can be described in eight words, "huge profits can be expected, and the layout has been completed"
From a macro point of view, after the Asian financial crisis, the central government tried to activate the domestic demand market, automobiles and real estate have become new consumption hotspots, and the ownership of family cars has doubled year after year. Many experts have predicted that the era of family cars in China has arrived. On a related note, the phenomenon of windfall profits in the automotive industry has become clear.
Some people compare the price of sedans in China with those in the United States, and the price of the Volkswagen Beetle with the same performance in China is more than three times that of the United States, the price ratio of the Buick is more than twice that of the price ratio, and the price ratio of the Toyota Corolla is three times that of the price ratio. The astonishing profiteering undoubtedly means that the automotive industry has grown tremendously
Space.
In terms of the current situation of the industry. In 1978, when the country was opened, multinational automobile companies were allowed to set foot in China's automobile manufacturing industry, and Volkswagen of Germany, General Motors of the United States, Peugeot of France, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Nissan of Japan have selected sites to set up factories, and the original Hongqi and Shanghai brands of China's national automobile industry have been cleverly eliminated.
Someone once used to describe the domestic automobile industry riddled with diseases: scattered investment, poor driving capacity, and high production costs. The sales service system is almost primitive. Therefore, it has been asserted that if the automobile industry cannot complete structural adjustment and restructuring through the raising of huge sums of money, it is not alarmist that the entire army will be wiped out. In this environment, Li Shufu rashly broke in, and no one applauded.
"At that time, I had 100 million in my hand, and because it was too little, I claimed 500 million to outsiders.
"However, even 500 million sounds ridiculous in the automotive industry. ”
Fan Wuxian nodded, and said in his heart, how much money did I invest in a car at that time? I guess I can't even count it now.
According to Li Shufu. Another well-known private entrepreneur from the same province as him. Lu Guanqiu of Wanxiang Group also had a dream of building a car at that time, he had been immersed in the auto parts industry for 30 years, and he was always eager to open up the industrial link and build a Chinese car. When he heard that the little-known Li Shufu was going to build a car. Also surprised, and then very honestly. To build a car, one needs government permission support, and the other requires tens of billions of yuan of funds, and Wanxiang Group is not ready.
"I'm not ready, but I think it's easy to build a car." Li Shufu said lightly, "Once someone interviewed me, I said, isn't a car just a motorcycle with two wheels? In fact. I also build cars the same way I build motorcycles. As always, an imitation object was selected first, the designer was a few highly skilled sheet metal workers in the factory, the first batch of cars were hammered out by hand, and its official drawings were only completed by professionals a few years after it was put into mass production. ”
The biggest obstacle for private enterprises to build cars is government permission, and Li Shufu is still seeking flexibility.
What makes Fan Wuxian amused is that his car license came from a prison in Deyang, Sichuan, which owns an automobile factory, and Li Shufu injected capital to obtain 70 percent of the shares, and then took a factory name that is completely similar to that of Boeing of the United States, the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, called Sichuan Boeing Automobile Manufacturing Co. Ltd.
The factory name is Boeing. The model is like Xiali, and the price is only like a high-end Toyota motorcycle. 8 August 1998. Li Shufu's first-ever car Geely Pride officially rolled off the assembly line. At that time, he set up a banquet for 100 tables and gave out 700 invitations to officials and distributors across the country, but only one came. Vice Governor of Xijiang Province. More than 90 tables of dishes were left out in the cold.
As soon as Geely was proudly launched, it set off a bloody storm at a low price.
At that time, most cars in China were priced at more than 100,000 yuan, with the cheapest Tianjin Xiali selling for nearly 90,000 yuan, and Geely's pride at 58,000.
"At that time, some media asked me, and consumers were asking, can a 50,000-eight car be driven?" Plum. "I'm glad to hear that. So I asked the reporter rhetorically, that is, if it can be opened, will consumers be willing to buy it? ”
Fan Wuxian heard this. Suddenly smiled, and said in his heart that this benevolent brother is really interesting, it can be regarded as a big coincidence.
In fact, Geely's entry into the game has caused headaches for the automotive industry.
In the past, the days of various manufacturers were very prosperous, and the price of cars was firm and rising, but as soon as the pride appeared, it was like a clay scale camel pulling down the rising price arrow.
Li Shufu's competitive strategy is only very simple, to be the cheapest car in China. In order to cope with the war, Tianjin Xiali was forced to reduce the price, every time it dropped, Geely Bing responded to the fall, and in the end, Xiali opened a blood vomiting price of 31,008, and Li Shufu immediately listed 29,009, as soon as the price came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and the industry was silent.
"Mr. Fan, my peers hate me to death, what do you think?" Plum.
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Fan Wuxi, the behind-the-scenes boss of the largest car manufacturer in China. There are no pop-ups
