Chapter 495: The Tide of Cars
The remarkable achievements of this enterprise are also seen in other provinces, cities and special zones, for a time all over the country in all parts of the country can produce cars of the unit has been reviewed by the leaders of all parties, can produce cars of the factory also try not to produce vans is also possible, this wave of automobile tide in the country suddenly broke out!
Before the 90s, public car allocation was strictly distributed according to rank, and leaders at the prefecture level could sit in Warsaw cars, while leaders at the regular army level could sit in Volga cars, and Hongqi cars could only be the cars of leaders at the central level.
Moreover, only the children of leading cadres at the upper level have the opportunity to ride in a car, and that kind of treatment can be described as "superior to others." However, at that time, there were very few public cars, and even leading cadres could only take the car according to the needs of their work, and only when they had to send a car to attend a meeting, go on a business trip, go to the hospital to see a doctor, etc., and they had to make an appointment in advance with the driver's class of the unit. Therefore, before the 90s, driving was also a popular profession, and it was generally considered a good job by society if there was a car to drive.
In the eyes of the common people, only people with a certain social status can own a car, and for a long time, the car is invisibly equal to power and status. In the era of scar, owning a car also reflects a sense of dignity, and the simple understanding of cars by Chinese is cultivated in this way and is quite solid and powerful!
And the people after the affluence are also subconsciously identified with this, they are eager to make themselves more social status by owning a car, to gain the recognition and envy of others, and they are more eager to be understood and respected by the society by owning a car!
And the timely emergence of several automobile manufacturers has also pushed this need to a high level. tide, seeing that Zhang San bought a car by going through the back door to find a relationship and received everyone's attention and envy, Li Si also has money and wants to buy a car, this spirit of comparison has played a role in boosting car sales.
For the sudden small peak of automobile sales in China, many provincial and municipal leaders have seen it, but there are also very few people who think of taking action.
Since June 1984, Hainan Island, which has been isolated overseas for a hundred years, has suddenly become a hot spot of turmoil. Early. In 286, he said a sentence about Hainan, "If it takes 20 years to develop Hainan's economy to Taiwan. b. The level is a big win! This remark is conveyed as the spirit of the central government in Hungdong and Hainan, because Hainan is still an administrative region under the jurisdiction of Hungdong.
And presiding over the local development is precisely Lei Yu, who dares to fight and has a high-profile personality. Moreover, before he took office, a central leader who was idle in Hungdong told him: "The central government and Hungdong should do nothing to rule Hainan Island, at least for three years, not to beat sticks, and second, not to give "ropes."
With such words of encouragement, Lei Yu, as a reformist, no, is even more bold as a reformer!
If you want to develop Hainan, you have to have money and you can't do anything without money, and in January 1984, after the 286 southern tour, it was decided to open 14 coastal cities. Due to the impact of China's tariffs and other factors, there are many restrictions on the import of foreign automobiles. Hainan Island took the opportunity of policy reform and liberalization to decide to liberalize automobile imports.
During this period, Hainan illegally purchased US$570 million from outside the island, which is 10 times the amount of foreign exchange that the state allows Hainan to withhold. At the same time, loans for imported automobiles, televisions, video recorders, and motorcycles totaled 4.21 billion yuan, 1 billion yuan more than Hainan's total industrial and agricultural output value in 1984.
Hainan began to import cars from outside the island at the beginning of this year, but at the beginning Lei Yu and others did not dare to sell cars to the mainland, in the first half of 1984, Hainan imported only more than 2,000 cars, in July soared to more than 13,000, and in August and September, the imported cars have totaled more than 62,000.
The small car that covered the mountains entered the small island. In the beginning, some large state-owned units bought and sold cars, but later it developed to 88 of the 94 units directly under Hainan, and even schools and kindergartens took the lead. Even neighborhood committees and many ordinary people got involved.
If you get an approval document and resell a car, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan, and you can generate a 10,000 yuan household by selling a car, and no one can stop this feast and storm of getting rich!
It should be said that Hainan people are extremely lucky to have a leader like Lei Yu, because he has won the opportunity for Hainan people to make a fortune, and also made many Hainan people really make a fortune, which the people in many provinces and cities in the mainland cannot meet or think of!
Reselling approval documents and reselling cars, the whole island fell into a madness, and cars poured into Hainan Island like a tide. The number of cars that "entered" China through various means reached 100,000, and even the Japanese were surprised, and Hainan almost became a veritable car island!
A large number of cars are illegally walking. Privateling and scalping, with its low price and popularity, will inevitably impact the domestic auto companies that are now vulnerable, and Lin Qiangsheng certainly does not want to see this happen, and any backward country will take drastic measures when it encounters such a situation, such as South Korea, which has closed car imports in order to protect its young auto companies.
But he didn't expect the Hainan leaders to take such a big step and so fast. The island's foreign cargo and foreign cars are inflated like balloons at a jaw-dropping speed!
The port of Sanya was unusually busy, a 20,000-ton car carrier was parked on the dock, and a car with a bull's head logo on the front was transported out by a trailer. MOST OF THESE VEHICLES ARE USU-SPEC CAMRY, AS WELL AS A SMALL NUMBER OF RESPIRATION SPORTS SEDANS AND MARK.X LUXURY SEDANS WITH X-SHAPED LOGO ON THE FRONT.
The car factory has carried out special treatment on these vehicles, and when you open the lid of these cars, you can't find a single indication of the place of origin, and there is not a single mark of origin on all the car parts!
The cars were all produced from the depots and parts factories in the Bincheng New Industrial Zone, and the purpose of not adding any origin mark was to pretend to be imported, when in fact they were just being shipped from one place in China to another.
Five new internal combustion powered tractor trailers donated by Shengzhi Automobile Company to Sanya Customs are constantly busy, transporting brand-new cars from the huge car carrier.
At the entrance of the warehouse area, there is a temporary board room built by the automobile company, and there are some people constantly coming in and out of the small place without a sign name.
Many people get the approval through various relationships and then come to the port here to pick up the car, although the car company is not famous, but this company is also a very good brand in the country, look at their big logo on the front of the car looks so atmospheric, people have to love!
In order to squeeze the market of Japanese cars as much as possible, Shengzhi Automobile Company has also been active in both government and business on the island for a long time, and the American Camry and MARK.X luxury cars they produce are not inferior to Japanese cars and have obvious price advantages. Thanks to the fact that the domestic auto market does not pay attention to any brand value in this era, although several brands of Japanese cars, Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Nissan are more famous, but it is not as cost-effective as saving foreign exchange and selling more cars no matter how famous they are.
When the people on the island made a fortune to make a large number of 10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, and 1 million yuan households, a large number of cars with Cantonese license plates entered the mainland through Kuodong, including nearly thousands of cars with bull head logos produced by Shengzhi Company. Lots of walking. Private cars have hit the already fragile domestic auto market, and have had a certain decline in sales of some auto companies in southern China.
However, the emergence of a large number of imported cars has also prompted domestic automobile companies to improve the quality of automobile products and launch novel car models, and a large number of private cars have entered the country, which has also virtually prompted domestic automobile companies to move towards higher quality, higher service and product diversity.
Of course, Lin Qiangsheng can't think of this now, he just thinks that there is nothing wrong with blocking imported cars from entering the domestic market, the Japanese and Koreans have done this, and the Japanese have always done this.
Lin Qiangsheng listened to Mu Qing's report every three days and said with satisfaction: "Improve our service level in a timely manner, and establish designated car repair plants in Sanya and Haikou on the island to improve maintenance services, which is very helpful to improve brand reputation!" ”
"Yes, I wrote it down, do you have any other orders?" Mu Qing asked.
"Nothing else, oh yes, help me book two transfer tickets to South Africa recently, and help Lu Na go abroad by the way!"
Mu Qing heard the name Lu Na again, she frowned and said, "Are you going to travel with her?" South Africa doesn't seem to be very popular with the international community right now! ”
Listening to Mu Qing's tone, Lin Qiangsheng frowned a little, and he said: "South Africa's medical technology is very developed, I plan to take Lu Na for a minor operation, and you can help me contact a high-end hospital in South Africa by the way." And don't you tell Chen Yao about this, okay Qingqing? ”
It was the first time Mu Qing heard Lin Qiangsheng talk to her in an inquiring tone, and she also heard that it seemed that Lin Qiangsheng had a little bit of a request for her this time, could it be that this Lu Na had some serious illness that made the boss so anxious?
She thought of Chen Yao, Mu Qing sighed secretly and said, "Okay, you are the boss, I just do what you ask, I won't tell Chen Yao!" Mu Qing said in her heart, as long as Chen Yao didn't ask her, she wouldn't say it, but she couldn't hide it when Chen Yao asked.
"Hmm!" Hung up the phone, Lin Qiangsheng rubbed his brows, he stood up and walked to the window, looking out of the hotel, there were no high-rise buildings in Hiroshi in the 80s, and there was no unobstructed view.
Lin Qiangsheng was thinking, he had to find a solution to settle Chen Yao and Lu Na, neither of them wanted to give up, if he gave up one person, he would definitely feel guilty about the other woman in his heart, and he had to find a way to do it, which was also an explanation for his subordinates.
