511 Benefits of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway
This time I came to the mainland, there are three important purposes, one is Midea's super factory, after the TV project is transferred to the mainland for production, in order to facilitate the reduction of costs, it begins to conquer the overseas market and the mainland itself, and the second is that Red Bull's food and beverage to develop the mainland market, especially instant noodles, almost also need to rely on the domestic market.
The third is the expansion of the automotive industry, the importance of the mainland market, is his only opportunity to do big in the automobile market in the future, otherwise, in the mature overseas market, no matter how much investment is difficult to achieve, after all, compared to the Volkswagen Toyota car giants, their own capital is not enough to see, unless wait until the electronic technology industry or the Internet industry explodes, they may have the ability to wrestle with these auto giants, but that needs to wait at least ten years later, too far from now, and the mainland for more than ten years, It is the most important time to build a brand and make the brand deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, during this time, basically only Volkswagen will compete with itself, and all other GM Toyota only began to invest in the domestic market in the mid-90s.
Although in terms of scale, AMC's domestic factories are not as good as the United States, but the challenge is higher, and even if it is done well, through self-construction or extensive investment in those potential parts suppliers, grasp the shares of a large number of top domestic auto parts suppliers in the future, so that the total value generated will not be lower than the electronics industry, and even if the future of electric vehicles rises, in addition to some engine power components, other parts are also general.
Waiting for the sun to go down, Chen Zhiwen and his entourage left Yanjing Jeep, for Chen Zhiwen, knowing that Wuling's design meets his initial requirements, other details he does not need to ask as a boss, and so on in the future quality testing, there will naturally be someone responsible for the problem, what he needs to do is to communicate with the mainland government, reach a further cooperation agreement, and for this historical "van", open up overseas markets.
Although they have a good relationship with the mainland, but if they rely on a car to make a lot of money in the country, it will definitely cause some people to be dissatisfied, especially Wuling's price positioning, like many domestic cars, it will definitely impact the local car factory if it is really bigger, which is still different from SAIC Volkswagen, but if Wuling can export a large number of goods, coupled with the joint venture relationship with Yanjing Automobile Factory, then at least, many people can only admit that it is really the first domestic foreign exchange policy, which will change in the mid-90s.
As for the fact that after the mid-90s, the domestic market began to gradually open up, so there is no need to worry, everything depends on strength. What he needs to do is to take advantage of this blank opportunity to completely expand, and when the scale comes up, the cost will be reduced, and the advantage will be greater, and even this market, even if international giants want to enter, it is not easy.
After seeing Director Wang leave, Chen Zhiwen also chuckled and said, "It seems that in a few days, you will be busy." ”
Tian Xuecheng said with a smile: "The scale of the company has become larger, and I am very happy no matter how busy I am." ”
It is impossible for an AMC to expand so quickly with such an ability, entirely because of the reinvestment of the boss Chen Zhiwen.
Invest in R&D of turbocharging technology in the United States, purchase Chrysler's technology and its automotive terminal retail chain, acquire other brands in Europe, build its own sales channels in Asia, build factories in the mainland, build a local industrial chain, and develop new models suitable for Asia in the mainland. These various factors add up, the total investment is in a billion dollars, not to mention AMC, even those giant companies, I am afraid that they have to think about it for a long time before they can make up their minds.
"Okay, you should also pay attention to this matter during this time, the conditions or something, just be about the same as before, try to settle it as quickly as possible." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
The automotive industry is different from other electronics or food industries, the latter two can discuss the issue of sole proprietorship even now, but the automotive industry can only be a joint venture.
The original history of FAW-Volkswagen, including the introduction of the Audi project later, the progress was very fast, because when all parties cooperated with SAIC-Volkswagen, they basically set the requirements of all parties, and then just draw the scoop according to the gourd.
Of course, no matter how fast it is, it will take a certain amount of time, and half a year is estimated to be the least.
"Okay, I estimate that Director Wang will report the matter today, and Yanjing City may come to me tomorrow." Tian Xuecheng said with a smile, for the domestic efficiency, he is still very optimistic, the previous negotiations were very fast, except for some issues that may involve the bottom line or legal aspects will be a little slower, and this time, there should be no more similar problems, this is also thanks to SAIC Volkswagen, they spent 6 years, so that the domestic "Patent Law" and "Foreign Investment Law" part of the optimization.
"OK, during this time, I won't work all the time, I was quite tired in the UK before, so if I have time, I can go to Yanjing to have fun, all kinds of expenses are counted as the company." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Tian Xuecheng said, in fact, there is not much money, and he is also relaxed, what matters is the attitude of the boss.
"Okay, then go back and rest, tomorrow, I still have a place to go." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.
This time he came to Yanjing, not to mention that many things had to be solved, but at least he had to set the direction as the boss so that his subordinates could follow him. At present, his global career is getting bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to go to one place every time because of a little thing, so whenever he comes, he needs to do a lot of things.
……
The next day, Chen Zhiwen, Zhou Jiayang and others came to an 11-story building in the south of Yanjing, next to the entrance of a section of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway.
Although it is a little shorter, it is nothing in Hong Kong, but it is very conspicuous near this farmland and village.
This is the office of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway Management Department, and at this moment, there are many people coming to greet you outside the office building.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, welcome to the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway Operation and Management Company." A man about 50 years old with bald hair hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile after Chen Zhiwen and others got out of the car.
"Chen Sheng, this Mr. Lin Zhihaolin, he is the current local management of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway." Zhou Jiayang obviously knew each other, and introduced to Chen Zhiwen.
"Hello, Mr. Lin." Chen Zhiwen shook hands politely and smiled.
"Inside, please, two." Lin Zhihao smiled and took a few people to a conference room upstairs, which is located on the top floor of the building, although it is only 11 floors, but the surrounding area is a wilderness, you can see far away, the buildings here are different from Hong Kong, not popular large floor-to-ceiling windows, through the rows of small windows, Chen Zhiwen can see all kinds of cars and trucks passing on the highway, and occasionally you can see some buses, not very busy, there is no traffic jam, but there is no shuttle, there has always been a car.
Lin Zhihao took a few cups of tea, smiled at a few people and said: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, where we are now, is the edge of Yanjing on the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway. ”
"No wonder it's so playful, then what I just saw, there are a lot of trucks out of Yanjing." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
"Yes, Mr. Chen, in the past few years, the development speed of Yanjing City has exceeded the initial expectation of the city leadership, and more and more things have been exported, thanks to Mr. Chen's investment." Lin Zhihao said with a smile.
Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said: "My investment role is not so big, mainly because Yanjing City has done it well." ”
In terms of the factory, he currently has two large factories in Yanjing, one is naturally Yanjing Jeep, although it won the export qualification at the beginning of the negotiation, but it is still early, at most some parts of the car were exported before, and the other is the United States home appliance factory, although half of the production capacity is export-based, but the scale of this factory is not very large, similar to the Red Bull factory in Shanghai a few years ago, the greater role is to first develop the domestic market, to make a name for itself.
In fact, Yanjing, or other cities, the development of recent years, especially exports, are getting better and better, which has little to do with a foreign investment, the most fundamental reason is the basic education in China many years ago, although because of economic reasons did not achieve universal education for all, but the population base is too large, when the full development of the economy, a large number of people come to Yanjing and Shanghai such a big city, or a special zone like the deep sea, thus forming a 20 years ago Hong Kong's high talent number model, a large number of the simplest light industry, the first to develop.
"I'm not talking about your factory, I'm talking about this highway, because of this highway, many goods in Yanjing can be transported at a low cost, otherwise the oil consumed by transportation is not enough for a truckload of goods," Lin Zhihao said.
"That's right." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said that although the expressway is charged, it is still better for the driver group, because it is more fuel-efficient, time-saving, and energy-saving.
You know, oil is actually a kind of foreign exchange, and even, all kinds of dollars in foreign exchange also need to be anchored by oil, that is to say, if a box of goods can earn a thousand dollars, assuming that you go high-speed, pay 400 high-speed fees and vegetable oil, you can also earn 600 dollars, but if you go down, the road is difficult, consumes time, and costs more oil, maybe you can't make money.
Of course, don't compare with the various high-quality provincial roads in the future, in this era, the roads outside the highway are very poor.
It is precisely because of this logic that many low-end industries that were originally in the absence of highways may be activated because of highways.
Even even domestic goods can use this logic, which is also where the expressway stimulates the economy, and the so-called toll is just its own by-income.
"The central government has ordered the construction of provincial roads to Yanjing in a number of cities near Yanjing, and these provincial roads will also connect to the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway, which will eventually bring more traffic." Lin Zhihao said with a smile.
"With so many goods, can the Tanggu port afford it?" Chen Zhiwen suddenly thought of this question and asked.
"I heard that I was a little nervous, as if I was already preparing to build the second phase of the port, and the original one was going to be expanded." Lin Zhihao said.
"Yes, half of North China's economy has been activated." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, but in his heart he thought that it was the new port of Tanggu.
