Chapter 698: What's the crux of the matter?
Zhang Fan also has his own difficulties, knowing that what he said cannot withstand scrutiny, but he still has to continue to speak. Refusing to accept the promotion of electric vehicles, this is the tone set by the city, and not directly offending Qin Hai is also the city's requirements, such two contradictory things, must achieve a high degree of unity here in Zhang Fan, it is really difficult for him.
"The traffic management department also has some concerns about the construction of charging stations. They are concerned that charging stations will cause vehicle congestion and affect road traffic...... There is also the power sector, you need to calculate the load of the charging station, you also know, there is aging phenomenon in some urban power facilities near the water, and now the people also have money, every household installs air conditioning, and the pressure on the power grid is relatively large......" Zhang Fan said one by one, his eyes did not dare to collide with Qin Hai, Tian Ruzhi and others. Although the air conditioner in the conference room was turned on sufficiently, fine beads of sweat still appeared on Zhang Fan's head, and he didn't know if it was because he felt embarrassed by talking nonsense, or because facing a big boss like Qin Hai made him a little timid.
Qin Hai didn't refute what Zhang Fan said, just recorded them in his notebook one by one, and occasionally nodded, as if he understood. However, those who care can find that his brows are tightening little by little, obviously feeling unhappy with this result.
Electric vehicles are a new thing, and it is not impossible to promote them by ordinary commercial means, but the effect will be relatively slow. Foreign auto giants have been preparing in the field of electric vehicles for many years, but because the bottleneck in motors and energy storage devices has not been broken through, it has not been able to roll out on a large scale. Once their product is launched. The situation faced by Daqin Automobile is very grim.
After Daqin Group launched its own electric vehicle products, foreign automobile manufacturers immediately paid attention to the two key technologies of rare earth permanent magnet motors and supercapacitors, and invested huge sums of money. It tries to break through the patent barriers of Daqin Group, form its own patented technology, and then develop electric vehicle products that can be comparable to Daqin Automobile.
So far, Daqin Automobile is still the world's best-performing electric vehicle, but this is because Daqin Group has a first-mover advantage in technology. In particular, graphene supercapacitors are an unexpected weapon for major automobile manufacturers, completely subverting their original technical routes. So that their accumulation in nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries, etc. has become chicken ribs.
Qin Hai knows that this kind of technical advantage cannot be maintained for a long time, and supercapacitor technology is just a layer of window paper. Once someone preemptively stabs it, the people behind will rush up and quickly open all the remaining windows. Once foreign manufacturers have formed a breakthrough in these key technologies, with their rich experience in fuel vehicles and well-known brands. Their products will put tremendous competitive pressure on Daqin Automobile. And it is possible to make Daqin Automobile completely out.
To this end, Qin Hai must at least occupy the domestic market before foreign manufacturers come up with mature models, and then use the profits and experience gained in the domestic market to compete with international giants in the international market. Although automobiles are mass-produced, the experience gained from producing 1 million units is completely different from that of producing only 10,000 units. Different users have different usage habits, will encounter different road conditions, and put forward different maintenance requirements. These are all valuable data that are indispensable for car companies to improve old models and develop new models.
What Qin Hai has to do is to take advantage of the opportunity to be the first mover. In the shortest possible time, occupy as large a market as possible, so that their advantages can be maintained continuously. To do so, he must go beyond the limitations of commercial promotion and leverage the power of the government to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles.
Linshui City is the first pilot city selected by Daqin Group as the promotion of electric vehicles, and the reason for choosing Linshui City is that the city's per capita income level is high, and residents also have a tradition of being willing to accept new things. Qin Hai originally thought that the Linshui Municipal Government should adopt a positive attitude towards such a matter that has all the benefits and no disadvantages, and at least it will provide some convenience. Unexpectedly, the other party showed resistance.
Speaking of which, the conditions offered by Daqin Group to Linshui City are not low. According to the plan provided in advance, Daqin Group will donate 200 electric vehicles to the taxi industry in Linshui City and 500 electric vehicles to government departments, and these 700 cars alone are worth more than 100 million yuan according to the market price. Daqin Group applied to establish 2,000 charging stations in Linshui City, with an investment of more than 20 million, and these charging stations will all be handed over to Linshui City free of charge in the future. According to the calculation that a charging station creates a profit of 100,000 yuan a year, this industry can create a profit of 200 million yuan for Linshui City a year, in addition to thousands of jobs.
Of course, the Daqin Group did not do this for no reason. Giving away taxis and government cars can form a demonstration effect in the whole society, driving ordinary citizens to choose electric vehicles. It is self-evident that the construction of charging stations is an indispensable part of the popularization of electric vehicles. Daqin Group's initial goal is to generate sales of 10,000 electric vehicles a year in Linshui City, and the profits will be enough to compensate for all the initial investment.
Linshui City's indifference to electric vehicle projects was unexpected by Qin Hai. Zhang Fan said a lot of difficulties, and every point sounded so reasonable, but in fact it was simply untenable. The construction of 2,000 charging stations, of course, is not something that can be decided by patting the head casually, and it is understandable for the relevant departments to make some assessments or raise some questions. But Qin Hai knew that if the city government was really interested in this matter and could put forward a clear request, then all these difficulties would be easily solved, and it would not be delayed by Zhang Fan to list them one by one now.
Zhang Fan's use of these reasons to prevaricate can only show one point, that is, the Linshui municipal government itself is not interested in this project, and may even have the intention of deliberately making things difficult. So, what's the crux of the whole problem?
"Mayor Li, what is the attitude of our city towards the situation that Director Zhang said?" Qin Hai turned his head to Li Dongyuan and asked.
Li Dongyuan snorted and said, "Some of these situations have been reported to me by Director Zhang, and some of them I have only heard about for the first time today. It is inevitable that the specific departments will have some difficulties of their own, which should be understandable to Mr. Qin, right? Our city's attitude towards cooperating with Daqin Group is very clear, but the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the problems must be solved one by one. In the affairs of the government, sometimes it is not possible to achieve it if it is done quickly, and sometimes it is easy to make mistakes if it is done in a hurry. ”
"Does the situation of these departments introduced by Director Zhang need us to make some more efforts? For example, the Planning Bureau, the Traffic Police Force, the Power Supply Bureau, etc., we can also consider visiting them to understand the difficulties they are facing, and when necessary, we can discuss solutions with them. Qin Hai asked tentatively.
The so-called on-the-spot understanding of difficulties is an official article. Both Li Dongyuan and Zhang Fan understood that Qin Hai really meant that they could go and do some public relations activities with these departments, so that these departments would turn on the green light, so as not to embarrass the city. Once the government is concerned with multiple departments, then the interests of each department need to be taken care of, otherwise even if the mayor says something, there will be several discounts below. The mayor also has to cooperate with the subordinates to do things, and it is impossible to use official authority to suppress people every time. Qin Hai and the others want to do such a big project in Linshui City, and it is reasonable to spend some effort and capital to dredge up the relationship between various departments.
It's a pity that Li Dongyuan knows that the crux of this matter is not the departments that Zhang Fan said, if Qin Hai and them are allowed to visit on the spot, what Zhang Fan says will be a goof. Qin Hai is not a person who can be offended casually, Linshui City does not want to cooperate with Qin Hai on the issue of electric vehicles, it does not mean that it does not want to cooperate with Qin Hai in other aspects, so it can't tear his face casually. What's more, Qin Hai still has a lot of connections in the upper echelons, which Linshui City can't afford to provoke, so one of Li Dongyuan's tasks also includes appeasing Qin Hai's wounded heart.
"We don't know much about the situation of these departments at present, after all, the plan sent by Mr. Qin has just been copied to them, and they still need some time to digest and demonstrate. I think so, give them some time first, and then urge them from the city and Director Zhang's side, and let them think of ways to overcome these difficulties. As for Mr. Qin, what about your side, just wait for a while. Everything needs to be run-in, Mr. Qin, don't you say? Li Dongyuan skillfully played Tai Chi and politely refused Qin Hai's request.
"Haha, that's fine." Qin Hai laughed, "The affairs in the government are indeed more complicated, but we are too impatient. ”
"Yes, yes, there are too many things in the government. There are also some departments where the leadership mentality is rather rigid, and we can't replace them immediately, so there is great resistance to many things. We are also working to change that. Li Dongyuan followed Qin Hai's words and continued to say perfunctorily.
Having said that, all that's left is to compliment each other without nutrition. Qin Hai and Zhang Fan made an appointment to go back to the Development and Planning Commission the next day to discuss the detailed situation, and then got up to leave. Li Dongyuan asked Qin Hai about the hotel where they stayed with concern, and then explained to Wang Xuemei, deputy director of the government office: "Xiao Wang, you accompany Mr. Qin and them to the hotel, and explain to the hotel, saying that Qin is always the distinguished guest of our Secretary Song and Mayor Liang, so the hotel must not be neglected, understand?" ”
"Understood." The capable and neat Wang Xuemei replied loudly. (To be continued......)
PS: Solemnly recommend the new work of the "Thirty-two Changes" of the cute series "Journey to the West", which has just been put on the shelves today, and friends who are interested will help you book a first order, vote for a monthly ticket or something, support it. With the age and temperament of the orange (cough cough, let's think there is still it), in fact, I am not interested in the novel of the cute series, but this "Journey to the West" orange is chased all the way, and I think it is very tasteful. Saner's father-in-law is an author with ideas, and if this book ignores the anime and cute spoofs, it is actually a very well-conceived urban essay that writes all kinds of things in the world. The novel is based on Journey to the West, but each character has a new interpretation, flesh and blood, and you should not regret it.
