Chapter 123: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
The matter of MI company came to an end, Zhang Zhanguo looked at Cai Siqiang's heart, and started the idea of SAL company, "I heard that SAL company intends to enter the field of voice electronic navigation, and we have more old factories in the electronics industry in Dongcheng District. ”
"I promise that in terms of various preferential policies, it will never be worse than the high-tech zone. In terms of land use and loans, the district government will also give priority to SAL's factories. ”
This information was all found out by Director Lin through a little girl in the office, Director Lin had reported to District Chief Zhang, but he didn't expect District Chief Zhang to have a good memory, and he still remembered this incident at this time.
Cai Siqiang smiled, he was not as good as Duke. The project of voice electronic navigation products has indeed reached the point of production, but the choice of OEM or its own production has not yet been decided within the company. What's more, this project has landed.
"District Chief Zhang laughed, our project is still in the laboratory stage, and there is still a period of time before it is put into production." Cai Siqiang politely refused.
"The factory can be built first, and I am very confident in the SAL company's product, even if it is built first, it will not become an unfinished project." Zhang Zhanguo is still not giving up. "I am a college classmate of Lu always in the Chengdu factory of the same automobile, since this navigation product is mainly used in cars, I will ask Mr. Lu to meet with Mr. Cai another day to see if there is room for cooperation between the two sides."
Zhang Zhanguo said this, Cai Siqiang really moved in his heart, and now the prototype product of SAL company's voice navigation has indeed come out, 5-inch, 7-inch screen navigator, now basically able to complete natural voice navigation kilometers, with a very strong voice search function and navigation function.
Compared with existing navigation products, the realization of all-natural voice control and output, greatly reduces the danger of the driver's navigation operation while driving. It is convenient for the driver to use the navigator at any time during driving to adjust the destination at any time.
In terms of functionality, SAL's navigators do have obvious advantages over most navigators on the market.
But now there is a lack of an opportunity to promote it.
It's not that this thing can't be sold, but in the current market full of all kinds of navigators, if there is no good promotion plan, it is difficult to have a good profit from selling this navigator. Judging from the current navigation market, the profit of a few hundred yuan navigation is very meager. But this cheap knock-off is now the mainstream of the market.
If he rashly enters this market at a higher price, Cai Siqiang is worried that it will be difficult to sell it. This thing is not like a voice input method and a traditional keyboard input method has a huge technical advantage.
But if you can take the road of integration with the manufacturer, it is another matter. The so-called installation of the original navigation device in the 4S shop is still manned for three or four thousand yuan. There is a natural price gap between this and many counterfeits on the market today.
So Cai Siqiang was really moved when he heard it. However, he is the master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, of course, he will not listen to Zhang Zhanguo because of what he said. "Really? If Mayor Zhang can really match our SAL company with a manufacturer like Automobile, then it doesn't hurt that our factory is located in Dongcheng District. ”
Seeing that Cai Siqiang was not as easy to fool as Duke, Zhang Zhanguo smiled. "Mr. Cai is really fast-talking, so it's decided. I'll make an appointment with Mr. Lu to see when it's convenient for everyone to sit together. "This Mr. Lu is really a hardcore buddy of his university, and this time he came to Rongcheng to serve as the boss of this factory, which also has some factors of Zhang Zhanguo. After all, with a character of their level, it would be much easier if everyone helped with things.
This automobile factory is not like an ordinary factory, the land and capital involved are amazingly large, and there is no strong person to cooperate with the work, and it is of course a great convenience for Mr. Lu to come to Chengdu to have Zhang Zhanguo's strong aid, in fact, through Zhang Zhanguo's relationship, FAW, Mr. Lu, has successfully obtained a preferential loan of one billion yuan from the bank in Rongcheng.
Compared with these, the business of installing OEM navigators is not worth mentioning, and Zhang Zhanguo is sure that Lu will always sell his face. What's more, Zhang Zhanguo believes that with the existing strength of SAL, the manufactured navigator will not be inferior in quality and function. Maybe it's a favor.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhanguo smiled, "I don't know when this navigation sample of SAL will come out, if Mr. Cai can bring the sample to talk about it at that time, I think the premise of this cooperation is mostly the same." ”
Although Zhang Zhanguo is confident in SAL's products, he is not unconditional trust, if he can have a sample for his old classmates to see, the uncertainty of this matter will be even less, even if there is any problem in the future, he will also pick himself out of it. Therefore, Zhang Zhanguo's request, for him, is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
So none of the people in this mixed officialdom are simple. A little thing is naturally considered in all aspects.
After this matter is said, it seems that it is too early before the time for lunch, although Zhang Zhanguo has a lot of things, a deputy department-level district head, it is impossible to do not have many things every day. But Zhang Zhanguo didn't want to leave yet, and the conversation with the two bosses today was quite smooth, and it would be a waste not to contact the relationship quickly.
So when Zhang Zhanguo came here, he made up his mind to stay here this morning, and Director Lin was sent out by him to prepare for the noon banquet, and he originally planned to talk in the morning, and continue to talk after eating at noon. How did I know that Duke was so good at talking, but it made these preparations a little redundant.
However, being able to knock something out of SAL Company again, Zhang Zhanguo's heart is still relatively happy.
So there was nothing to do at this time, and he was going to stay until noon, and then it was logical to invite the two gods of wealth to dinner. However, it is not a matter to be idle, so Zhang Zhanguo led the topic to the business and products of SAL, and when he heard that the Gemdale mobile phone using SAL voice control technology was sold for more than 40 billion, Zhang Zhanguo's eyelids couldn't help jumping with the depth of the city.
What a good project, why didn't I think of introducing it to Dongcheng District in the first place. You must know that Dongcheng District's GDP last year was only more than 40 billion and less than 50 billion. With the introduction of this project, wouldn't it be possible to double the GDP in one year? Zhang Zhanguo's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Although I have already thought highly of this SAL company, I can't imagine that there are still many surprises waiting for me.
Fortunately, the high-tech zone did not introduce this mobile phone project. Somehow, Zhang Zhanguo suddenly had this idea. Otherwise, in this year's evaluation of several major districts and counties, there is basically nothing to do in other districts.
With this thought, Zhang Zhanguo made up his mind to fool all the products of SAL company to Dongcheng District, even if it is bad, he must persuade Mr. Lu to agree first, although this matter is really a very unlikely thing, see the performance of other people's customized mobile phones in the market.
Zhang Zhanguo knows very well that for domestic brands of mobile phones, there is generally some sales in the low-end market, and Gemdale can sell 40 billion in this amazing sales, so there is no doubt that it has entered the middle and high-end. Since all of this happened after SAL intervened, SAL's technical strength was obviously much stronger than the information on the surface obtained by Director Lin.
Maybe there are still some good things that are being studied and haven't been taken out yet, and the software part, Dongcheng District has nothing to compete for, but to make this piece, Zhang Zhanguo decided to pull all of them to Dongcheng District. It's a must! Zhang Zhanguo listened to Cai Siqiang's introduction and secretly made up his mind.
Today's condescending visit is really worth it, not only has Duke's investment been basically finalized, but SAL, a big fish that is still sinking to the bottom of the water, has been lured out by his own bait.
Saying this, noon has arrived, and since it is time to eat, it is natural to have dinner together at noon. Although Duke and Cai Siqiang repeatedly said that the SAL company would invite them, Zhang Zhanguo still firmly asked Director Lin to drive a Mercedes-Benz business car to pick up people.
Lunch was arranged in a place that Duke and Cai Siqiang had never heard of, but as soon as they arrived at the place, Duke and Cai Siqiang immediately felt that the so-called high-end dining place like Ginkgo was still too cheesy compared to here. Because it is a fully membership-based place, it is not open to the outside at all.
To be honest, even if Duke and the others want to come next time, it will not be easy to find a place.
"Do you two prefer to be more lively or more clean?" Zhang Zhanguo asked Duke and Cai Siqiang with a smile.
Seeing this formation, Cai Siqiang already had a slight understanding in his heart. I couldn't help asking, "How about being lively?" How about being cleaner? ”
"This is more lively, naturally you can ask for some performances when you eat, and you can watch it while eating. As for being cleaner, it's just eating, listening to some music, or something. Zhang Zhanguo familiarly took out a card and handed it to the little girl at the front desk with excellent temperament. Cai Siqiang's eyes were sharp, and he actually recognized a model from the southwest division of the model competition.
This little girl at the front desk is of such a level, which can't help but make Cai Siqiang interested.
"I think it's better to be cleaner." Duke didn't wait for Cai Siqiang to speak, and immediately intercepted it. As soon as he entered this place, he felt a little strange, and when he saw that all the people receiving him were handsome men and beautiful women, he had already guessed something in his heart.
However, Duke, who is used to seeing stunning people like Shuya and Susanna, has no interest in these anymore. What about the model champion in the southwest region, compared to Susanna's blood-spraying body, I am afraid that I will have to hide my face and leave.
Cai Siqiang, a person who is used to thinking with his lower body, is like a fish in water for these, so Duke decisively did not give him a chance to speak, according to his understanding of Cai Siqiang, this kid is ready to be lively.
However, Duke now knows that Zhang Zhanguo can bring him and Cai Siqiang here, which is really a bit of a prevarication. To put it bluntly, Zhang Zhanguo really regarded them as objects that could be exchanged on an equal footing, and was ready to deepen his relationship with them.
Duke is not opposed to having a good relationship with a high-ranking official, after all, his business will still have a lot of trouble for Zhang Zhanguo in the future, but Duke is really not used to this method.
However, following the local customs, everyone ate very happily at this meal, and it can be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
