"More popular than the Jeep BJ212?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.

Yanjing Jeep's flagship model, naturally is the Jeep prototype introduced from overseas, but because of the high quality requirements, many parts are also from the United States, even if the factory can be balanced by foreign exchange by other models, but the high import tariffs, various service fees in the United States, and the freight in the middle can be a lot, plus the licensing fee given by the American brand, making the car price very expensive in China, almost 100,000 yuan, higher than the 60,000 of SAIC Volkswagen's Santana, but this is also normal, Jeep is a large car, And it's also the latest technology in the 70s, which is much better than the Santana in the 60s.

At present, the sales of joint venture cars, basically all depend on government procurement, especially the military, in the absence of Yanjing Jeep, these institutions need good quality off-road vehicles can only be imported, the existence of Yanjing Jeep for them to save a lot of real foreign exchange, but even if it is saved, its own price is still very high, it can only be said that in terms of sales, it is much higher than the previous pure import model, almost 200 a month or so. If you want to sell again, you must produce most of the parts in China as soon as possible, but this is very difficult, even if Chen Zhiwen promotes this matter with strong capital, it is only a small part of it, and the industrial chain of the automobile industry can only succeed if the market deploys itself.

However, Yanjing Jeep is not only a joint venture car, but also includes an imitation jeep produced by Yanjing Automobile Factory, BJ212 model, this car has existed before the establishment of Yanjing Jeep, and it is also all domestic production, the price is much cheaper, only more than 20,000 yuan, plus the American AMC company has also given certain technical support, therefore, the entire factory, in fact, the most product is this car.

In fact, whether it is Yanjing Jeep or SAIC Volkswagen Santana, the higher pricing is due to its own actual demand, and the second is to avoid the price being too low, which will lead to the impact on other local car brands.

"At present, the production capacity is not as high as BJ212, Chen Sheng, you also know that we have only been three months after completing various tests to get the sales license, and the production capacity is still a lot worse, but from the perspective of market order trends, the demand is still very high, and it may be stronger than BJ212." Tian Xuecheng replied: "Recently, there are many people from various provinces who live near our factory, and as long as our car is made, they will buy it on the spot and drive it back by themselves, so that we don't have to transport it by truck." ”

"Although the average economy in China is not very good, there is still a lot of high-end consumption power." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Yes, but it's not purely consumption." Tian Xuecheng said: "Our car, the cargo capacity is also very strong, although not as good as light trucks, waterproof, windproof and sunscreen, transport some small things, but too convenient, this is also a supplement to a market demand, many people may only need to transport two or three hundred pounds of things, this is looking for a truck, overkill and expensive, find a three-wheeled rickshaw, short distance is good, if the road is far away, it will not work, our car perfectly solves this problem." ”

"When it is sold as a means of production, it is indeed a completely different market." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

At present, the domestic economy is poor, and the cars that people travel in are, to a certain extent, a waste of resources, because the car itself basically does not produce value, and it will consume valuable fuel, in exchange, it will save a little time for some people, so the essence is a lot of resources + energy in exchange for time.

If the person who saves time is a big leader and a big boss, then the deal is still cost-effective, and if not, it is a very loss, which is different from the logic of overseas developed countries, after all, people in developed countries have high incomes and time is also precious, and poor countries lack resources the most, not ordinary people's time.

"Yes, it is mainly bought by some companies, but there are indeed some Yanjing people who buy them as private cars, not much." Tian Xuecheng said.

"The visitor is a guest, just don't refuse." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, although Wuling research and development of the purpose of commercial, but for household use, it is not impossible, now this market may not be large, and in a few years, more and more people do individual business, the value of Wuling will be higher, public and private, too convenient.

As they spoke, the group came to the east gate, where there is a large open-air parking lot inside, where hundreds of new Wuling cars are waiting for final testing and loading, and there are also two transport trucks loading.

"This kind of transport vehicle is imported from abroad, right?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Yes, the Yanjing Jeep was imported from there, and we also used it." Tian Xuecheng said: "However, with the current domestic traffic environment, this kind of car has too many limitations, and our transportation is only to send the car from the factory to Tanggu Port through the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway, and then get on the ship and then transport it to various coastal cities."

These cities themselves are also cities with better domestic economies, and they are also the locations of our largest customers.

In other cities in the mainland that are not by the sea, we actually do not use the mode of transportation, but drive directly to them. ”

"It seems that it is indeed different from Europe and the United States." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile that Europe, the United States and the mainland of later generations have very high requirements for new cars, basically when buying a car, the regulations only allow the car to drive less than 50km, in fact, most of the cars are within 20km.

Although this is something that a "new car" should have, but in order to do this, in the transportation process, there may be an additional cost of several thousand yuan, this part of the money is naturally borne by the consumer, it doesn't matter in the economically developed areas, but in the current country, there is no need to increase the cost in order to pursue this, especially want to do not necessarily do, because of the traffic in many places, this kind of transport car truck can not get in at all.

"Is there any feedback from overseas markets?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

"We have sent more than 200 vehicles to some countries in Southeast Asia, and this model is also very popular locally, but at the moment our production capacity is not enough, and we will still give priority to the domestic market in the short term." Tian Xuecheng said.

"Well, look at the feedback from the mainland market later, if it's really good, then invest in increasing production capacity." Chen Zhiwen said.

Wuling can be said to be the first brand car out of their own play, although it is a low-end market, but as long as the volume is large, the same is a potential car giant, Wuling in the next 10 years or so, annual sales of nearly one million, which car company does not dare to say that they do not look down on this market. In fact, the van is a product that fills a gap in the market, and only in this way can it be killed out of the automotive industry, otherwise, it is almost impossible for newcomers to succeed in this heavy technology field.

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Tian Xuecheng agreed. If it is a general automobile company, or an investment fund, it is very cautious about the expansion of automobile production capacity, even if the sales soar in the short term, they are not necessarily willing to expand production capacity, it is really because this investment is too huge, once there is a change in the future, it is a huge loss, and AMC in the United States has been like this for many years before.

However, under Chen Zhiwen, he also knows that the logic is different, his boss is larger in the electronics, real estate and even beverage industries, and the profits are higher, and the automobile industry, for the boss, is more concerned about achievements, rather than other small car companies, which need to consider various financial issues. In particular, the boss has invested more and more funds in terminal sales, and currently in Southeast Asia, it has controlled hundreds of sales points, in these places, there is no anti-monopoly law restriction, and in the end, the opening of the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain will only maximize the benefits of the entire company.

After looking around for a while, Chen Zhiwen left here, in fact, he also wanted to really communicate with these people, but there is a high probability that these people have already been instructed, and it is estimated that he can't ask anything.

At noon, at the request of Chen Zhiwen, everyone came to the company canteen to have a light meal, the canteen is very rich in all kinds of food, may also be the reason why Chen Zhiwen came over, this kind of thing is inevitable, in the future generations, it is also the norm, whether it is a school or a factory, even if the leader does not come to the canteen, there will be the same additional meal, I am afraid that the leader is interested in coming to see.

However, Chen Zhiwen can also judge how the daily food is through the size and face of the workers, and there is still a difference between good and bad long-term food, obviously, the workers here do not eat bad on weekdays, the automobile factory belongs to heavy industry, and the automation of the automobile production line in this era is very poor, and the consumption of physical strength is also very large.

In the afternoon, some of the auditors were brought together to audit the company's finance, administration, procurement, quality, logistics, etc., Chen Zhiwen naturally did not need to stay here, he only needed to know whether his goods were recognized by consumers, and the rest was naturally the cooperation and responsibility of the team of thousands of people hired by him with high salaries.

The next morning, Chen Zhiwen went to an office building in Yanjing under the Ministry of Communications directly under the central government, which is only five stories high, and the style is still somewhat like a Republic of China building, which is estimated to have been built in the fifties and sixties and has been used to this day.

The whole Yanjing including Shanghai, in fact, there are still a lot of such ancient style buildings, but with the development of the economy, people in the city need more area to live, and there are many outsiders who come to the big city to live, and the pressure on real estate will become more and more great, and eventually most of them were demolished, only a small part was retained as a historical monument.

Over the years, Chen Zhiwen has also arranged for many people to be responsible for buying these types of buildings in China, especially in Yanjing and Shanghai, such as Yanjing Courtyard House, the Republic of China House in Shanghai, etc., not to mention buying these purely for speculation, although these buildings will easily break 100 million in the future, but Chen Zhiwen will not be short of this money, these historical monuments, it can be said that they are half antiques, have a strong commemorative historical significance, and will only become less and less in the future, just like the castles in Europe today, they have also become the favorite investment of many European billionaires.

"Hello, Director Xin." At the door, Chen Zhiwen met an acquaintance, Director Xin, who had met Chen Zhiwen several times on the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway project.

"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time, I heard that you gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, congratulations." Director Xin said with a smile.

"Thank you, good luck, just a pair of twins." Chen Zhiwen also smiled and said that he had a dragon and phoenix fetus, and he didn't deliberately keep it secret, there are many people who know about this kind of thing, and they can't hide it, and it doesn't make sense to hide this kind of thing, if the child can not go to school in the future, at most arrange the strongest security.

"Inside, please, Mr. Chen." Director Xin then said.

"Yes, please." Chen Zhiwen also went in with Director Xin and a group of people, and on the way, Director Xin also introduced a few people to Chen Zhiwen, which can be regarded as getting acquainted, but there is a high probability that there may be no intersection in the future.

Subsequently, Director Xin also took Chen Zhiwen and others to an exhibition hall, which hung a large number of domestic maps, including railways, water transportation, and highway maps, which were available in the whole country or in various provinces.

"Chen Sheng, this is the last Central Committee meeting, the national highway network without 12 shots, 28 verticals, and 30 horizontals, with a total length of about 109,200 kilometers, once completed, more than 9 percent of the cities in the entire country can go anywhere through these highway networks." Director Xin walked over to a large map and said.

"These are all highway plans?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

In fact, the infrastructure madness of later generations has already begun to have relevant plans as early as this time of economic poverty, which is also China's unique ability to plan for the next few decades.

"No, it hasn't been determined yet, but some of the cities between cities must still be dominated by high-speed, such as the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway." Director Xin said: "I also want to thank Chen Sheng's Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway, so that we generally see the economic benefits of high-speed kilometers in China, and now there is no big problem in China to build a high-speed expressway, the problem is that there is too much money consumed in it, a Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, it will make the country's finances tight, if it is not for Chen Sheng to invest in Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, it is estimated that this expressway may have to wait for three or five years to start construction." ”

"Yes, I'll invest in high-speed, it's also a win-win situation!" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Then I wonder if Mr. Chen is still interested in investing in other expressways?" Director Xin asked tentatively.

"Other high-speed? There are so many of them, should I pick them at random? Chen Zhiwen asked.

"There are a few departures from Yanjing, there are already plans, and it is not suitable for foreign parties to interfere again, Chen Sheng can choose other places, and there should be no major problems." Director Xin said.

"Then I'll choose here." Chen Zhiwen drew a line next to the Yangtze River on the map. (End of chapter)
