On the third day of Dong Youwei's arrival, some professionals from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel rushed to Hong Kong, and they all entered the country through the deep sea without booking tickets in advance, and then came to Shanghai directly by train, which also strengthened Chen Zhiwen's idea of buying another plane.

A project that is a little late may be nothing, but if there are too many of them, the indirect losses caused will be greater.

Dong Youwei held an important internal meeting with the people of Mandarin Oriental, explained the relevant matters, and then made preliminary contact with the relevant departments in Shanghai.

Shanghai is obviously very happy to hear that Hongkong Land is going to build three five-star hotels at one time, which does not require them to pay, and can also drive a lot of employment, and after completion, it can also entertain a large number of overseas tourists, and at the same time, the municipal government can also receive a large amount of money, which also relieves the financial pressure of the municipal government.

On the other hand, people from Hisense Bank also arrived one after another to discuss the loan with the relevant departments of Shanghai City.

This time he came to Shanghai, which was also an unexpected joy, and after three days, Chen Zhiwen set off again and prepared to go to Yanjing.

As the boss, what he needs to do is to decide on the major investment matters, and so on after the direction is set, it is by the professional subordinates to negotiate various details, his time is also very precious, although the investment in Shanghai is not small, but it will not let him stay here for a long time, there are more important things waiting for him in Yanjing, a lot of business involving the national market, in the end, it still needs Yanjing's approval.

Even Dong Youwei and Huo Jianning came to Shanghai just to go through the motions, after all, the investment is quite large, and they need to communicate with the leaders of Shanghai City in advance, but they will also return to Hong Kong later. Especially for Hongkong Land, Disneyland is now the top priority.

After arriving in Yanjing, the first thing is naturally his own proposal of the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway plan, so also sent an official to communicate, although it is a local high-speed, and Chen Zhiwen has also had preliminary communication with the local area, but the expressway, is the main artery of national security and economic development, and the approval must be approved by the central government, which is completely different from the hotel in Shanghai, which has its own decision-making power, as long as it does not interfere with national laws and policies.

However, because there has been a cooperation before, in many ways, just follow the last time.

"Chen Sheng, we very much welcome patriotic Hong Kong businessmen like you to return to China to invest, especially the highway project that can benefit the country and the people, if you have any other reasons to invest, you can also come to us at any time." Director Lin, who came to negotiate with him, said with a smile that he was basically responsible for negotiating with Hong Kong investors on the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway before, and he knew more about technology and partners, and he also knew Chen Zhiwen, so he was sent over.

"Any high-speed project is fine?" Chen Zhiwen asked rhetorically.

"We have already decided on the project internally, these are not good, before the company proposed to participate in the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, not that we are unwilling, but this project, although it was officially proposed last year, but in the early stage of the reform, the central government has already discussed, all the funding arrangements and internal participation departments have been negotiated, if it is changed to a joint venture, it will cause great changes, and even affect the entire planning cycle, Chen Sheng, you also know, this high-speed link of the city, How important it is for the development of our country. Director Lin explained seriously.

"It doesn't matter, it's just business cooperation, it's a two-way relationship, whether it's success or failure, it's normal." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently.

The other party said a bit of truth, an established super project, involving a large amount of manpower and material resources, if the sudden introduction of foreign capital, it will indeed have a great impact, but it is also possible, this is also the other party's reason for refusing themselves, after all, if they only pay, it will have no impact at all.

But it is normal to refuse, Chen Zhiwen will not be dissatisfied because the mainland refuses to let him invest in a high-quality expressway, in fact, this is normal, on the other hand, if the mainland wants to invest in some of his own company projects in Hong Kong or even abroad, he will also refuse. Even over the years, some of my projects in the mainland have also pursued sole proprietorship, isn't it just to not share them with others, so it is understandable for others to do so.

The future high-quality projects in the mainland will be more than a crucian carp across the river, even if there is one less big fish, the impact is not big, besides, really let yourself fish freely, I'm afraid that your own boat, can not fit ah, just say that the highway field, can win a few future income within the top 20 is very good, Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway and the preparation of Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo, but are the top ten per unit length income.

"Chen Sheng understands it, and if there are any high-speed projects that we haven't decided yet, Chen Sheng can also put it forward, and if it is appropriate, we can also consider it." Director Lin said with a smile.

"There are so many cities in China, I want to build a lot of expressways, but let's settle down on the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway first." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

There are naturally many high-quality high-speed projects in the future, but there are still some suitable investment nodes, and the first ones built in the 80s must be the best quality.

"That's natural, the highway anywhere is good for the local economy and even the economy of the whole country, and we naturally welcome Mr. Chen to come and invest." Director Lin said: "As for the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, although the central government has not yet made a formal decision, it should not be a big problem. ”

"That's the best, and I hope that the construction of this highway can start as soon as possible, so that tens of millions of local people can also benefit from it." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

These infrastructure projects of high-speed ports have a great impact on even those who do not use it, first of all, the huge economic benefits driven by large projects, which will eventually radiate to hundreds of thousands or even millions of people around, and secondly, when the high-speed or port is completed, it is convenient for all enterprises, which will inevitably lead to a certain degree of decline in overall prices, and because of the decline in overall prices, these infrastructure will also collect a part of it, which is the source of their own profits.

"Mr. Chen's meaning is also our meaning, everyone also wants this matter to be determined as soon as possible, and our ministry is already discussing with Shanghu City and Zhejiang Province, if there are no other major problems, I think it will be approved soon." Director Lin said again.

"Okay, thank you." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, with the central approval documents, the local government can quickly enter the technical professional level of discussion, later, more time-consuming, that is, the confirmation of the route, this piece Chen Zhiwen will not ask, he only pays, he believes that the mainland, will also carefully plan, in order to ensure that the high-speed can most conveniently cover the surrounding cities, which will also facilitate the future of the largest commercialization.

……

Some of Hutchison's infrastructure departments in the mainland have also traveled to Shanghai and Zhejiang to investigate the overall topography and urban conditions. Naturally, the two provinces and cities are also very cooperative, and they also have relevant experts within themselves, and at the request of both parties, they are promoting the progress of the project day and night.

The central government is also going through the process, after all, it involves hundreds of millions of dollars in cooperation projects, even if it is given the green light all the way, it needs to be reviewed at all levels.

Chen Zhiwen came to Yanjing, naturally not just for this one thing, when all parties were busy with the new highway, he came to the Yanjing Jeep factory.

The direction they want to enter is naturally the main entrance, but a large factory like the automobile factory also has several doors, and when passing through a side door, Chen Zhiwen also found a board car transporting cars, loading and unloading a number of Wuling vans, and there are many people surrounding it.

Chen Zhiwen didn't ask to stop and take a look, the car soon arrived at the main entrance, and the leaders of Yanjing Jeep were already waiting at the door.

Some of these people Chen Zhiwen also knows, and they have seen it a few times before, and others who don't know each other don't need to know each other, just take a look.

The crowd soon came to the inside of the Yanjing Jeep factory, where the Wuling van was being produced.

Not to mention that compared with the highly automated automobile production line in later generations, it is the Jeep next door, Wuling's car, the main focus is still manual production, the assembly of many workpieces, and the hammer is being hammered. However, it may also be because Chen Zhiwen, the boss, is here, and the workshop leader has already said hello, so the workers did not use brute force, but were properly knocking.

"The size here, isn't it a good match?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

Shen Yida, a factory engineer accompanying him, said: "Mr. Chen, at present, all the parts of Wuling are produced locally, and we are trying to control the quality of all suppliers, but there will still be some that do not meet our requirements, so we can only settle for the second, we will select in the later assembly, or find some ways to solve it internally." ”

Tian Xuecheng, vice president of AMC, who is in charge of the domestic automobile business, said: "Chen Sheng, Wuling is still different from Jeep or SAIC Volkswagen, it does not have the possibility of buying overseas parts in foreign exchange, and can only buy domestic ones, which is also due to cost considerations."

Although there will be many problems in doing this, the most practical thing is to reduce a lot of costs, reduce the price of the car, and ensure that more people can afford it, which can be regarded as a balance between cost and quality! ”

Everyone wants the quality of the car to be good, but the problem is that the price positioning is different, and it is impossible to give up the cost infinitely for the sake of quality.

"I understand this, just doing this, will it lead to a large number of problems later. That's what I'm more worried about. Chen Zhiwen asked again, it also understands this situation, that is, all kinds of high-end game consoles under Midea are also licensed with a certain quality failure rate, but the most worrying thing is that there will be batch problems.

"We are also more concerned about those core components, most of the ordinary parts, we will relax the management of this aspect." Tian Xuecheng said: "In fact, not only Wuling, but also the Jeep BJ212 that we jointly built with the mainland, also adopts a similar model, including Wuling, many parts of this car are used in it, over the years, there has been no major problem, during the warranty period, we provide parts and people to repair it."

Chen Sheng, the situation in the mainland is different from Europe and the United States, even if there is a batch problem, we can undertake the maintenance, the parts themselves are not expensive, and the labor is not expensive, compared with Europe and the United States, this difference is the greatest, and even if there is a quality failure in the mainland, there is no provision that we need additional compensation, unless it is the three major pieces that are broken. Tian Xuecheng explained: "This leads to the fact that the domestic after-sales cost is not high, so from the perspective of the company's operation, we need to give priority to ensuring the price and quality of sales, and there will be no major failures." ”

"Well, how is the layout of the after-sales system completed?" Chen Zhiwen nodded and asked, he also has several different products, and naturally understands that goods do not need to pursue quality extremely, and appropriate problems are also allowed, depending on the business environment where the market is located, and the low labor cost is relaxed, because the economy of these places itself is not very good, and they pay more attention to the sales price, and the other places in Europe and the United States are the opposite, and the after-sales cost may be higher than the item itself, so it is necessary to do a good job in quality, and it is better to do it than to be more expensive.

In later generations, the goods exported from the mainland were of better quality than those in China, which were common in many brands, and were also complained about by Chinese people on the Internet, and some people said that developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea kept the best goods in their own countries, and compared with the domestic country, they were responsible for their own people, etc......

But in fact, it is not simply a foreign admiration, the difference in after-sales costs in different places is the most important, if one day the mainland economy develops to the labor cost is very expensive, then the quality of domestic goods will inevitably get better.

It is okay to treat differently according to the market, but Chen Zhiwen wants to do a long-term business, which takes into account the low level of domestic consumption and the low positioning requirements of Wuling itself, so that the operation can also be done, but the after-sales service still needs to be done.

"Chen Sheng, at present, we have after-sales points in every provincial capital in China, and we are also expanding to second-tier cities with better economies, in the short term, it is also enough, although the positioning is a low-end car, but in China, only some people or enterprises in big cities can buy it, and basically no one buys it in the countryside." Tian Xuecheng replied.

"Okay, but we still have to speed up the pace and do a good job of after-sales points in various places." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "In fact, after-sales points can not only repair our cars, but also other brands, and even motorcycles and trucks can be repaired, so that these after-sales points can support themselves and expand faster." ”

"I know, that's what we actually do." Tian Xuecheng said with a smile.

"When I came just now, I saw a few cars loading at the east gate, let's go over there and have a look." Chen Zhiwen said that this workshop only needs to be looked around, and he doesn't understand the Tao here.

"Okay, over here." After Tian Xuecheng finished speaking, a group of people gave way.

"Wuling's sales are just the beginning, right? What about market feedback? Chen Zhiwen asked as he walked.

"It's very hot." Tian Xuecheng said with a smile: "There is a serious shortage of supply. ”
