Chapter 401: It's So Serious

The scene in the parking lot of the Marriott Hotel did not cause much turmoil in Spring City, Chen Youwei took advantage of the situation and naturally didn't bother to pay attention to it, and the Nanjia side was even more low-key.

The people who really knew the inside story of the matter were also given a gag order, and the two parties involved, whether it was the local giant Nanjia in northern Liaobei or the powerful background of the young mayor of Chuncheng, the insiders all chose to avoid talking about it.

If you really offend such a huge force that makes people feel awe-inspiring for the sake of a momentary rapidity, the consequences of that kind are chilling just to think about.

No matter what kind of psychology the Nan family has, Chen Youwei doesn't have time to pay too much attention.

As the summer approaches, the first plans for the sprawling central business district have left him fully immersed in such a large-scale development.

After months of arduous negotiations, FAW and Citigroup General Motors have a preliminary intention to cooperate.

The two companies will each invest half of the capital, FAW will provide the existing automobile sales market, and General Motors will provide car manufacturing technology that is guaranteed to be no less than the level of the early 90s, and they will carry out a kind of joint venture.

Compared with the first car joint venture project in China in Shanghai, FAW's joint venture project this time has obviously taken a lot of advantage.

Huhai's Santana production line is only a backward technology that is about to be eliminated on the Germanic side, but such a car production line that has no market in Europe at all can earn huge profits for one or two decades in the huge Chinese market.

For such a cruel fact that countless Chinese people can't bear, Chen Youwei has paid great attention to and provided technical guidance to FAW's joint venture project from the very beginning.

In the eighties and nineties, there was a very famous view in China, especially in the mid-to-late nineties when the reform and opening up was carried out to the stage of tackling tough problems, and many people had a very optimistic idea of exchanging the market for technology. Especially in the car manufacturing industry, where manufacturing technology is relatively sophisticated, such a view is even more popular.

It has to be said that the idea of exchanging technology from the market was very innovative at first.

It's just that with the development of time, when large foreign automobile companies with ulterior motives inhibit the development of Huaxia's automobile industry through various means, and a large number of Huaxia domestic automobile companies only care about the one-sided interests of immediate income generation, such an idea with good intentions has never been realized.

As the most important part of solving the problem of Chuncheng's state-owned enterprises out of difficulties, Chen Youwei's attention to it is far beyond the imagination of others. Taking advantage of Citigroup's eagerness to enter China's huge automobile market, FAW took the initiative to win over GM from several other places in China that were interested in building car production lines.

Negotiations with a world-famous auto industry giant like General Motors have been locked in a tug-of-war from the very beginning, and if it weren't for the fact that Germain's almost junk production line in Shanghai could make huge profits, it would not be easy to pull some dry goods out of the mouth of a giant like General Motors.

The cooperation between FAW and General Motors has caused a lot of shock in the automotive industry in northern Liaoning and even in China, and the investment amount of the two sides has exceeded one billion US dollars, which has made countless people cheer, making Chen Youwei's prestige in Spring City even more prosperous.

In just half a year, he was able to produce such amazing results, even those who were pessimistic about Chen Youwei before could only be secretly convinced.

Unlike others who are excited by the successful rejuvenation of FAW's joint venture, Chen Youwei is more optimistic about FAW's business philosophy of adhering to the bottom line and pursuing fairness and justice to a greater extent.

FAW and GM have specified the time point of the transfer of technology between the two parties in the form of a black-and-white contract, although the details of such a contract have been disputed by the two parties, but the final signing of the contract still makes the success of the joint venture of FAW a classic case widely publicized by the domestic media.

Although the Shanghai side is very dissatisfied with this, it is just that this kind of mute eating Coptis chinensis has an indescribable taste that only they enjoy silently.

Of course, GM is definitely not as disappointed as many media reports, and can compete with the Germanic side for the growing Huaxia car market as quickly as possible, which makes them completely unconcerned about the somewhat backward car manufacturing technology.

Especially when they saw that FAW's existing car production line was still the garbage imported from them, they also had great doubts about whether FAW could truly master the ability of advanced car technology.

It was precisely by taking advantage of the arrogance of General Motors in this regard that Chen Youwei fully persuaded FAW to set up a technical research and development center in the group company with an independent focus on the research and development of car engines.

In Chen Youwei's view, the key factor why many things in Huaxia have been delayed again and again, which were originally very simple things, and have been done in a mess after the last mess, is the lack of a decision-making figure with strong courage.

If Chen Youwei only served as the mayor of an ordinary prefecture-level city, no matter how many ideas he had, he could only work slowly according to the organizational procedures in an environment where all forces were checked and balanced.

Coming to Spring City to serve as the acting mayor with a heavy burden, Chen Youwei obviously does not have so many constraints.

Hong Yan, vice premier in charge of the Economic Affairs Yuan, was put on the spot, which shows that the problems existing in the state-owned enterprises in Chuncheng have reached the point where it is difficult to return.

No matter how many people in Chuncheng and even Liaobei Province have a natural aversion to Chen Youwei's airborne, they also know very well that such a mess in Chuncheng is definitely not something they can touch.

With the support of Xia Wang, secretary of the municipal party committee, and even Hong Yan, vice premier of the State Council, Chen Youwei would be arrogant if he didn't know that Lu Dao took advantage of such extremely convenient conditions.

When the joint venture project between FAW and General Motors was officially reached, countless people cheered and understood that from now on, this young mayor who is not even a year old will have a more unbreakable position in Spring City.

The scorching summer is getting farther and farther away, and the autumn in Spring City is much shorter than in the south.

In Spring City, the central city of Northeast China with a large temperature difference between day and night, Chen Youwei put on his thick autumn clothes early.

As soon as the regular mayor's office meeting ended on Monday, Chen Youwei came to the office of Xia Wang, secretary of the municipal party committee, with a steady pace.

Compared with the anxiety full of gloom more than half a year ago, Xia Wang, who is nearly sixty years old, is obviously much better.

walked from behind the large desk to the coffee table and personally made tea for the young acting mayor sitting on the sofa, which shows that Chen Youwei has been fully recognized by him.

"You're busy these days, aren't you?" Xia Wang handed over the teacup in his hand with a smile on his face, and said with a very concerned smile: "Although you are young and strong, you must also pay attention to taking care of your body!" ”

Chen Youwei got up slightly, took the teacup with both hands, sat down and smiled easily: "Thank you Secretary Xia for your concern, I will pay attention!" ”

"Did the meeting just come to fruition?" Xia Wang didn't say too much to greet, and asked straight to the point.

Chen Youwei took out a thick stack of documents from his handbag, nodded solemnly: "This is a document related to the overall planning of the central business district, as well as the specific framework of our municipal government for the establishment of Chuncheng State-owned Investment Co., Ltd." ”

After Xia Wang returned to his desk, he picked up his reading glasses and flipped through them with a cautious expression, and only after a while did he look up at Chen Youwei, who was sipping fragrant tea, and said: "The plan you submitted to the provincial government in the early stage of the central business district has been passed, and your plan now seems to be more substantial, what do you think about it?" ”

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Chen Youwei took out a cigarette and lit it with two deep puffs, shook his head and said, "Don't hide it from Secretary Xia, I have an enhanced version of the plan to deal with the Government Council!" ”

Xia Wang was slightly stunned, and looked at Chen Youwei without speaking.

"The introduction of the concept of the Spring City Central Business District has caused other places to imitate, and now the country's overall economy has finally come out of the danger of economic overheating, if a new round of blind investment is set off again, I am afraid that the above will definitely not be ignored!" Chen Youwei shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.

Xia Wang subconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it, spewed out a long smoke, and said with a complicated gaze: "That's the same, I want to make my political achievements look better, people don't care whether the concept of this central business district was first proposed by our Spring City!" ”

"I still have confidence in Chuncheng, not to mention that the economic development environment of Chuncheng has improved significantly since the beginning of this year, that is, with the strong influence of our Chuncheng, the provincial capital, if our central business district is not approved, it is incredible."

Chen Youwei looked at the thoughtful Xia Wang with clear eyes, and said with a smile: "Although this so-called enhanced version of the plan has the idea of just in case, in my opinion, if you want the smooth progress of the CBD project, it is better to sit in the head of some work in advance." ”

Xia Wang nodded slightly, the strong self-confidence of the young man in front of him greatly infected him, and he was no longer entangled in the worry of whether the central business district could pass the review of the government council.

Gently spreading out another document, Xia Wang frowned lightly, glanced at Chen Youwei and asked, "What do you think about Chuncheng State-owned Investment Co., Ltd.?" I see that this seems to you to be just a draft! ”

"Chuncheng State-owned Investment Co., Ltd. is mainly composed of hundreds of small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises that have been declared bankrupt or are undergoing bankruptcy proceedings."

Chen Youwei snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and said in a deep tone with a slightly heavier tone: "Some people say that since those state-owned enterprises are insolvent, it is better to auction them off to individuals for operation." I am firmly opposed to such a very irresponsible statement! ”

"Not to mention the possible corruption in the transfer of bankrupt state-owned enterprises to private operations in such an easy way, that is, the loss of state-owned assets of state-owned enterprises that seem to be worthless but have great value, which is very worthy of our attention!" Chen Youwei said impassionedly with some gaffes.

"Is it that serious?"

Xia Wang waved his hand, a little curious: "Some people say that doing that can maximize the revitalization of troubled state-owned assets, compared to the benefits that may be produced in the future, you said that those are not worth mentioning!" ”
