Chapter 697: A lot of difficulties
In the summer of 2001, Linshui City, the capital of Haidong Province.
A black Mercedes sedan drove smoothly into the city hall compound and stopped in front of the office building. Several officials who had been waiting at the door of the building walked forward quickly, ready to open the door and welcome the VIP out of the car. Before they could get to the front, the front and rear doors had already opened from the inside, and three young men, two men and one woman, got out of the car. The leader is Qin Hai, chairman of Daqin Group, who follows him from left to right, respectively, Tian Ruzhi, deputy general manager of the group, and Wang Xiaodong, deputy director of the group's sales department.
At the turn of the century, Daqin Group has also completed an epoch-making replacement of the old and the new. Ning Zhongying, Qin Minghua, Fu Wenbin, Xiao Dongping, and a group of veterans all retreated to the second line and were replaced by a group of young Zhuang factions headed by Song Hongxuan.
After more than ten years of tempering, Song Hongxuan took over the position of general manager of the group and was responsible for the overall coordination of the entire group. Ning Mo, Tian Ruzhi and several other young people served as deputy general managers, each in charge of a business aspect. Wang Xiaochen succeeded Fu Wenbin as the dean of the School of Materials, and Sun Yuzhi and Zhang Yating served as vice presidents. Others, such as Yu Haitao, Miao Lei, Xia Yangjie, Xu Xiaoqi, Heizi and others, have all served as department directors or general managers of subordinate group companies.
Today's Daqin Group owns a number of major industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, chemicals, semiconductors, ceramics, glass, cement, etc., as well as many businesses derived from the material industry, such as material machinery, rare earth permanent magnet motors, audio equipment, sportswear, etc., with total fixed assets exceeding 100 billion yuan, like a huge industrial empire.
Three years ago, the electric vehicle project promoted by Qin Hai was a success, and Daqin Group and Hongyuan Automobile Company jointly established Daqin Automobile Company, which specializes in the production of pure electric passenger cars. Daqin Automobile uses a self-produced permanent magnet motor as the power source, and uses a graphene supercapacitor with all intellectual property rights as the energy storage component. Zhou Linlei, a military expert, organized a team to help develop a full set of electronic control systems. It is said that it uses a lot of electronic control technology used in military aircraft, and according to Zhang Daiwei's estimate, its level has reached the standard of a world-class electric vehicle.
The design of the car's appearance, chassis suspension and other designs was completed by a professional team from Europe, Qin Hai believed that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and offered five times the high salary to poach the team from their old employer. Specializing in the design of Daqin electric vehicles. After countless trials and a huge amount of money, Daqin electric vehicles were born, including a full range of electric vehicles from economy to luxury, and won praise from industry experts at several international auto shows held in Paris, New York and other places.
It is not enough for a model to be developed, it is the ultimate success to go to market. In view of the fact that the promotion of electric vehicles is the top priority of the entire group in the near future, Qin Hai, the chairman, has taken on the role of a salesman. This trip to Linshui is to open the door to this megacity on the eastern coast.
"You're Mayor Lee, aren't you?" Qin Hai saw who was the chief officer from among the several officials who stepped forward, so he walked straight to the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a smile and stretched out his hand to him.
"Yes, yes. I am Li Dongyuan. β
That man was Li Dongyuan, deputy mayor of Linshui City, Qin Hai visited Linshui City this time, and he contacted him in advance.
According to past experience, when a wealthy businessman like Qin Hai visited a certain city, the local mayor or even the secretary would personally greet him. Although Linshui is a mega city, it will not slack off investors of Qinhai's level, even if it is a deputy mayor who goes downstairs to greet him, the main position should at least be whitewashed. Bathing fasting sitting in the office waiting.
This time, however, the situation was a little different. On the way over, Qin Hai received a call from Li Dongyuan, saying that the mayor and the secretary couldn't get out because they had an urgent and important matter, so how to do it. Of course, Qin Hai will not believe this explanation, the government department will have important things at any time. But as long as I want to arrange, I can always find time. The two full-time officials chose not to greet Qin Hai at the first time, indicating an attitude, that is, there was some resistance to what Qin Hai wanted to discuss.
"Mr. Qin, I'm very sorry. Secretary Song received a notice temporarily. went to the provincial party committee to report work; Mayor Liang was unable to come to greet you because he had an important foreign affairs reception. They have repeatedly asked me to apologize to you, and the city government will hold a banquet to entertain you in the evening, and Secretary Song and Mayor Liang will personally come to toast Mr. Qin and you. β
Li Dongyuan said to Qin Hai, he had the word "sincere" written all over his face, although Qin Hai knew that what he said was just a pretext.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm already embarrassed to delay your work." Qin Hai shook hands with Li Dongyuan with a smile, and his face also pretended to be honest, as if he was convinced of Li Dongyuan's explanation.
Qin Hai introduced Tian Ruzhi and Wang Xiaodong to Li Dongyuan, and Li Dongyuan also introduced his attachΓ©s, including Zhang Fan, director of the Municipal Development and Planning Commission, Wang Xuemei, deputy director of the government office, and so on. The guest and host briefly exchanged a few words, and under Wang Xuemei's warm reminder, Li Dongyuan said rudeness again and again, and welcomed Qin Hai and his party into the office building and came to the small conference room.
Li Dongyuan delivered a brief welcome speech, Qin Hai expressed his gratitude, and then went straight to the point, saying: "Mayor Li, Director Zhang, we are here this time, mainly to negotiate with Linshui City on some cooperation matters in the promotion of electric vehicles, some ideas about it, in the previous materials sent to Mayor Li have been introduced very clearly, I don't know how Linshui City is considering." β
"Is this a problem...... Li Dongyuan dragged his voice, "After we received the materials from your group, we immediately reported to Secretary Song and Mayor Liang. Secretary Song attaches great importance to this matter, and instructed that it should be regarded as an important work, be serious and reciprocal, and actively cooperate. Mayor Liang personally attended the meeting, listened to the report of the Development and Planning Commission on the promotion of electric vehicles, and instructed the establishment of a special team to be responsible for docking with the work of Daqin Group. The leader of the docking team is Mayor Liang himself, and Director Zhang and I serve as the deputy team leaders, of which Director Zhang is responsible for daily work, so for the specific situation, please ask Director Zhang to give a detailed introduction to Mr. Qin. β
The secretary instructed that the mayor should serve as the team leader, the deputy mayor should serve as the executive deputy leader, and the director of the Planning Commission should be responsible for the daily work. However, judging from the large string of nonsense Li Dongyuan said, Linshui City's attitude towards this matter is definitely thunder and rain, this pretentiousness is purely aimed at Qin Hai's identity, if it is replaced by someone else, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see Zhang Fan, let alone Li Dongyuan.
Qin Hai was thinking deeply when Zhang Fan spoke. He first repeated the important instructions of leaders at all levels at length, and then gave a high degree of affirmation to the application prospects of electric vehicles, and finally entered the substantive content:
"Mr. Qin, in the plan you submitted, you put forward the hope to build an environmentally friendly city with Linshui City, hoping to replace more than half of the city's motor vehicles with new energy vehicles in 10 to 15 years, so as to basically solve the problem of urban motor vehicle exhaust pollution, this goal is very ambitious and very attractive, our Development and Planning Commission in the report submitted to the municipal party committee and municipal government, this goal has also been fully affirmed.
However, for your company's request to build 2,000 charging stations in Linshui City within one year, we believe that there are still some difficulties and cannot be implemented for the time being. β
"What are the specific difficulties?" Qin Hai asked.
"Well...... It's a bit more complicated to say. Zhang Fan began to stand up.
Tian Ruzhi smiled slightly and interjected: "Director Zhang, regarding the construction of the charging station, our group has also conducted a demonstration in advance. In terms of funds, the hardware investment of each charging station does not exceed 10,000 yuan, and 2,000 charging stations are about 20 million yuan. After recovering all the investment, we will hand over all the charging stations to Linshui City free of charge, which is equivalent to Linshui City getting this asset out of thin air, which should be very favorable. β
"Yes, yes, the funding side of things...... It's not a problem. Zhang Fan nodded in response.
"The second is the issue of the site, because our electric car uses fast charging technology, it takes no more than five minutes to fill a car, and the charging station is different from the gas station, it is not dangerous, so there is no need for a quarantine area, as long as there is a temporary parking space. I don't think Linshui City can't build a charging station because of the site, right? Tian Ruzhi continued.
Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "The venue is ...... It cannot be said that there are no difficulties at all, but of course, this difficulty can be solved. β
"Funding is not a problem, and the venue is not a problem, then we don't understand, what is the difficulty that Director Zhang said?" Tian Ruzhi showed a gentle smile and asked Zhang Fan.
"Mainly, the reason is that there are a lot of ......" Zhang Fan frowned slightly, as if he was very embarrassed, and said: "First of all, the planning department put forward an opinion, thinking that the construction of charging stations needs to be included in the plan, and then it can be built." Urban construction, planning first, this is also the central government's requirements. The planning department believes that it is necessary to scientifically calculate the distribution of electric vehicles and determine the best layout scheme of charging stations, so as to avoid problems in the future and then adjust, resulting in unnecessary waste. β
"This ......" Tian Ruzhi knew that Zhang Fan was talking nonsense as soon as she heard it, and she couldn't help but want to open her mouth to refute. Qin Hai, who was sitting beside her, raised his hand slightly, stopped her, and then said to Zhang Fan with a smile: "Director Zhang, please continue, what other departments have any opinions."
