Zhong Xinde asked with some hesitation, "What about the loan that is due next month, if it is not repaid when it expires, it will be a default, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is likely to freeze our account." ”

"Don't worry, I'll handle the loan, the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Chengguan City is my nephew, I will discuss with him to postpone the processing of this loan, anyway, there is Jingqi Group to take care of it, and it will be repaid sooner or later."

"Okay then, Liugong, I'll pay the arrears of wages."

Sending away the accountant Zhong Xinde, the old man did not continue to smoke, but found a ball of gauze, carefully cleaned up the dust on the equipment, and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, the designed car can't be sold, so you pearl dust"

The old man's name is Liu Xiuqi, a native of Chengguan City, and his experience is quite legendary. When he was young, Liu Xiuqi was the first college student after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and then he was one of the first batch of public international students. While studying in Germany, Liu Xiuqi, who studied mechanical design, developed a strong interest in automobiles and plunged headlong into it. After graduation, Liu Xiuqi first worked at the Mercedes-Benz Pioneer Design Center in Sindelfingen, Germany for five years, accumulating rich experience in automotive design and manufacturing. Later, in response to the call of the country, he returned to China to participate in the localization of the Santana sedan and the localization improvement of several subsequent Volkswagen models.

Now, Liu Xiuqi, who is in his fifties, is the deputy chief engineer of Beijing Automobile Group, and he can already be famous, there is no shortage of money, and his two sons have also become married. But Liu Xiuqi's heart still has a dream that has not been realized, every time he goes to the street and sees that the cars running on the road are all European, American, Japanese and Korean brands, Liu Xiuqi's heart will be very uncomfortable. As a member of the Chinese automobile industry, Liu Xiuqi often asks himself, he has worked hard in the automobile industry all his life, is it to help these foreign car brands open up sales in the mainland, Huaxia automobile industry except for joint ventures, is there no other way out, when can independent brand cars get rid of the label of inferior quality and low price, and those foreign brands in a dignified battle.

In order to realize his dream of a domestic car, Liu Xiuqi gave up the position of chief engineer of the joint venture factory, and took the initiative to apply to return to his hometown Chengguan City to build a new domestic car from scratch. No matter what industry, entrepreneurship is hard, despite the support of the head factory's capital and technology, talents, Liu Xiuqi and a group of old guys also took two years to build a factory, and then design a new car, change the draft, build a prototype, modify various design defects, step by step to the final finalization and mass production.

I thought that all the hardships and hardships had passed, and the new car would be launched, and the market would definitely detonate and the sales would be red.

When the Chengguan branch was just established, it was catching up with the rise of electric vehicles in China, and Liu Xiuqi, who has been in the industry for many years, believed that fuel vehicles would be eliminated by new energy vehicles sooner or later, so his newly designed model was an electric car. Who knows, the electric vehicle market was only hot for a short time under the huge subsidies of the state, and soon it was depressed.

The reason is that there are too few supporting charging piles, charging is too slow, most of the people in China's first-tier cities live in high-rise apartment buildings, and cars are basically parked in underground parking lots. In this way, your electric car, every few you have to go out to find a charging pile to charge, due to the scarcity of charging piles, often have to wait in line, both delay time, but also very inconvenient. Another is that the battery life of electric cars is too short, generally only two or three hundred kilometers, running and commuting in the city, if you want to run long distances, you have to keep looking for charging piles, constantly waiting for charging, this process will torture you painfully.

The new car built by Liu Xiuqi is limited by cost and technology, and the cruising range of a full charge is less than 300 kilometers. The sales of new cars were not good, and in order to maintain the survival of the factory, Liu Xiuqi had to return to the main factory, relying on his relationship and face, to pull some orders for fuel cars of other models. It's just that the sales volume of several models of the Beijing Group's own brand is not too large, and the share that can be distributed to the Chengguan branch is even less, and the Hyundai brand sedan that is a joint venture with South Korea must be produced at the joint venture factory, and it is impossible to hand it over to the Chengguan branch factory. It took more than a year to get alive like this, until the Beijing Automobile Group General Plant completed the automation transformation, and the annual production capacity increased sharply, and there were no more orders to take care of the Chengguan Branch.

Without orders, the Beijing Automobile Branch in Chengguan City finally couldn't drag on. Liu Xiuqi's efforts in many ways were fruitless, so he had to apply for bankruptcy liquidation. It seems that the Chengguan municipal government still wants to work hard for the only large manufacturing company in Chengguan City, stopping the bankruptcy process, turning it into a wholesale sale, and mobilizing all the big public servants in Chengguan City to help the car factory find buyers. It's just that this buyer is not easy to find, he must be rich, but also interested in making cars, and he is willing to come to Chengguan City to invest. As a result, Liu Xiuqi could only dismiss the workers and patiently wait for the buyer to come to the door.

Finally wiped the last bit of dust off the equipment, Liu Xiuqi stood up straight, his waist ached, and he hammered it with his fist for a while before he felt a little more relaxed, "Alas, old man, after selling the car factory, it's time to officially retire." ”

With heavy steps, Liu Xiuqi slowly walked out of the workshop. In the open space in front of the workshop, more than a dozen hand-built prototypes were parked, and no one had touched them for months after the factory was shut down, and a thick layer of dust fell on them. Liu Xiuqi found a high-pressure water gun and was about to rinse these prototypes, but the mobile phone in his pocket rang at this time.

Liu Xiuqi put down the high-pressure water gun, took out the mobile phone from his pocket, saw the huge word "Si" on the screen, and knew that it was his niece Liu Musi calling, so he hurriedly slid his finger and connected to the Linghua.

"Si, at this point in time, you are still at work, call me for something"

"Second uncle, what you say, can I only call you if I have something, I can't care about you getting old."

Liu Xiuqi smiled and said, "Come on, girl, you grew up with me, I don't know what temperament you have, there's nothing wrong, so you won't go to the elders." ”，，，
