Chapter 534: Touching the United States

What is the fastest news in the world? Naturally, it is unconfirmed gossip in officialdom.

Just a few days after Xu Fangyong, the manager of the Shenfei Group, and Li Jianguo, the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, returned from the Alice Group, the gossip about "the Alice Group is going to put their aircraft manufacturing project in China" has begun to fly all over the officialdom. There are even various versions: what Alice Group has already reached a secret agreement with the above, this time it is for some countries to see; What is the reason why Alice was able to successfully implement this project this time, or because of the great efforts of one of the senior officials...... And so various, blah blah blah

However, this news also made almost all officials of sufficient weight know one thing: Alice Group is really going to play bigger this time, and it is really going to engage in airplanes! -- These guys, since they have been able to get to this point, naturally have the ability to gather the real information from the mottled rumors to the real news.

Although the officials of other provinces knew the news, although they were greedy, they could only watch dryly, because among the various versions of the rumors, there is one point, that is, the attitude of the Alice Group is unprecedentedly clear: that is, to build a factory in Shandong Province, it must build a factory in Shandong. \\

Unlike the leaders of other provinces in China who drool over this piece of fat but can't eat it, the leaders of various cities in Shandong Province began to get busy as soon as they learned the news: Although it is said that it is in Shandong, it has not yet been determined where it is in Shandong. Such a large piece of fat is fast in the hand, but slow in the hand. Whoever grabs it first is whoever's own. Everyone knows that there will be no such shop in this village, and if this project is robbed by those guys from other brother cities. When the time comes, I won't have a place to cry.

Everyone knows how much an aircraft manufacturing company can play a role in the local economy. Belch? What the? You don't know? Stupid, just look at the development of cities where there are aircraft manufacturing enterprises. More importantly, as long as you implement this project on your own one-third of an acre of land, for yourself, and even for your entire city leadership group. How big of a achievement would this be?

With this idea, the leaders of various cities in Shandong Province. The first thing to do is to start surveying whether there is a suitable place for building an aircraft factory on the land under their control. And then determine whether the infrastructure construction of water, electricity, transportation, communications and other aspects can keep up? Belch. \///\\ electricity is exempt, such a unit. There will definitely be a power plant of its own.

Once it was determined that there were indeed such conditions on one-third of an acre of land, the leaders of various prefectures and cities in Shandong Province began to get excited, and the special group for investment promotion immediately began to work on another thing: according to the existing conditions, draw up a special investment promotion plan for the aircraft manufacturing project of the Alice Group.

I have to say that a sentence said by the founding ancestor has been proven correct countless times: the power of the people is infinite, and the power of many people is great! Under the personal supervision of the party and government leaders of various prefectures and cities, in less than half a month, the special investment promotion plan for the project of Alice Group's aircraft manufacturing site in various prefectures and cities in the province has been drawn up. \//\ All in accordance with the most preferential policies that the state can give; The basic supporting facilities of water, electricity, transportation, communications and other aspects are all in place; The most critical land resource. Absolutely at the best price for the Alice Group. As for the rest of the large and small preferential conditions, Zhang Lan was dizzy to see - these project plans are too thick! Each one is a thick stack.

Zhang Lan enjoyed this treatment just at home. The headquarters of Alice Group is even more pitiful, and even the threshold is almost broken by officials from all over the province who come to be lobbyists. At this moment, the officials lost the prestige of officials one by one, and walked around Zhang Zongjun and Alice with a shy face and a smile, quite like a small domestic pet - well, everyone knows what it is

The number of government working groups that come to Alice Group in the name of various investigations, studies, and learning from experience has increased several times in a short period of time. There are many people coming, and Alice Group is also very depressed, because the entertainment expenses for this period of time alone are nearly ten times more than before!

Don't blame these local officials for being so groveling, everyone understands: this thing has been done, and it is a super great achievement during his tenure. \\With such dazzling achievements, is it not just around the corner for me to soar in my career in the future? Compared with the glory of the future, what is this groveling in front of me, and there are countless people who want to grovel and come to beg Alice Group to have no chance. If Kowtow can implement this project to his own one-third of an acre, for his own future, these guys will not hesitate to do it!

After reading the information on investment promotion sent by various prefectures and cities for a few days, Zhang Lan finally couldn't stand it: leave these things to your father to worry about, anyway, this kind of thing is not something that can be done in a day or two - this kid's temperament, like a monkey, is not the kind of guy who can do something safely and honestly, but more to make an idea and think of a way and something like that.

In order not to offend these guys, Zhang Zongjun has already planned to go through all the seventeen cities in Shandong Province, and finally determine the investment location, so that he will not be offended in any aspect: although Alice Group and Zhang's Fuji Group have developed to this point, Zhang Zongjun no longer needs to look at anyone's face, and then give face to anyone, but to anyone. \\/\ Whether it is a provincial or ministerial-level senior official or an ordinary person, maintaining a moderate level of respect is one of the magic weapons for any enterprise to survive, and it is also a person's quality and self-cultivation - whether it is for enterprises or people, it is the same.

Those who feel that they have a little capital and start to fly are destined to not go far. Zhang Zongjun understands this very well. ,

Zhang Zongjun began to be busy for the future aircraft factory project, and Zhang Lan finally had time to start busy with his own things. Well, in fact, it can't be regarded as his own business, but the whole Alice Group's business, after the acquisition of Cosworth, Zhang Lan began to set his sights on the German Touring Car Masters (DTM) and the World Rally Championship (WRC), two internationally famous events.

In the ChmpCarWorldSeries (formerly Carter Race) event in the United States, Zhang Lan now has the meaning of involvement. Honda and Toyota, which have achieved success in the United States, participated in this event, and the three major automobile manufacturers in the United States all participated in this event, Alice Group can not always rely on the cooperation with Ford Motor Group, if you want to establish your position in the American automobile market and gain the trust of American consumers, then, the major American automobile manufacturers aim to establish their position in the American automobile market and technological advantages, for Alice Group, you must participate! This is a step that Alice Group must take.

The so-called ChmpCarWorldes event is actually similar to the famous F1, and can also be classified as a kind of formula racing, but unlike F1, the excitement and intensity of the ChmpCarWorldSeries event are at least better, more exciting and more intense than F1 in Zhang Lan's view: in F1 events, if the first car leads for more than ten seconds, as long as the driver's head does not cramp, the car does not have problems. Then it basically cuts off the possibility of the car behind catching up, which is really boring and boring.

But the ChmpCarWorldSeries is different, as it is the only formula car in the world that can race on both oval, complex and street tracks at the same time. Over the course of the race, a wider track than the F1 track gives the car more opportunities to overtake, and the sloping track at the turn also allows the car to maintain enough grip to make high-speed corners, even faster than F1 on average.

It's not uncommon to see several cars running side by side on the track almost from start to finish, and the lead is constantly changing, with everyone having a chance to get to the front, and no one can take advantage of it, let alone the deliberate blocking tactics in Formula 1.

In order to accommodate this need, the cars used in ChmpCarWorldSeries had to not only be capable of driving and decelerating at high speeds on an elliptical track for long periods of time (ChmpCarWorldSeries cars were racing faster than F1) but also had to adapt to frequent acceleration and deceleration at various sharp turns on a Formula 1 track or street track.

In addition, ChmpCarWorldSeries cars have stricter restrictions on a wide range of electronic aids and automatics than in F1, so the driver's experience and skill level are extremely important factors in the heat of the race.

In order to be able to establish its market position in the US market as soon as possible, it became a must for Alice Group to participate in the ChmpCarWorldSeries competition. Because in the minds of Americans, F1? What's that? The more exciting and fierce ChmpCar WorldSeries is the F1 in the minds of American fans.
