Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu in surprise: "You want to build a car? Xiaoyu, a car is not as simple as a motorcycle."
"I don't see why it's so difficult? Isn't it just an engine and four wheels?" Feng Yu said easily.
Zhang Ruiqiang shook his head and said it was so simple. If it were really that easy, China would have already been covered with automobile factories.
"Xiaoyu, we are close to Lin Province. Lin Province FAW is the largest automobile factory in our country. Are you building a car factory in Bingcheng to compete with FAW?" Zhang Ruiqiang reminded Feng Yu that Feng Yu is supposed to do business. He's very clever, it's impossible not to think of this.
"So what if we compete in the ring? My car has better technology, my car looks more beautiful, the interior of my car is more comfortable, and my car is cheaper. Why can't I beat FAW?" Feng Yu is very confident, he will definitely To be able to create China's own brand, it is not about imitating it all the time.
"Your technology is better? Yours is more beautiful? Yours is more comfortable? Yours is cheaper? Where do you get your confidence?" Zhang Ruiqiang was speechless. What you said sounds good, but you have to do it.
"I bought Volga's production line and technology, and I've already found someone to do the exterior design and interior decoration design. I guarantee it will be first-class in the country and world-class. As for the price of the car, I guarantee it won't be very high and the performance will be good."
"Do you really want to make a car?"
"I really want to do it, so I want to ask the city to support me and grant me a piece of land. I want to prepare to build a factory."
"The investment in a car factory is not low. Think clearly." Zhang Ruiqiang persuaded again. Not many people in China can afford to buy cars now. This is different from motorcycles. The sales volume may be less than 10,000 units a year. The investment is still high, and it is very likely to lose money.
Of course, Zhang Ruiqiang tried his best to stop it, not only because he was worried that Feng Yu would lose money, but mainly because Feng Yu said that this automobile factory should be under the name of a machinery company.
If the city agrees. So if the machinery company's shares are not to be diluted again, it is necessary to make another investment, and it is definitely not a small amount.
Now the machinery company cannot stop Feng Yu's decision, after all, it has already been restructured. Shareholders have the final say. But the city can block this project and prevent it from being implemented.
"I'll report it to the leader, but the city may not give you an approval." Zhang Ruiqiang thought he could give it a try, but other leaders in the city definitely didn't want the machinery company's shares to be diluted again. If Feng Yu built a car factory alone. Not only will there not be such big obstruction, the city will also provide strong support.
Zhang Ruiqiang also doubted whether Feng Yu really wanted to build cars, or whether he was just trying to dilute the city's shares in the machinery company. After all, the machinery company was very profitable at this time. Not to mention that agricultural machinery leads the country, even motorcycles are sold well across the country. Last year, they sold 140,000 units, which shocked everyone.
Originally, everyone thought that the motorcycle market was not that big and there were so many competitors. The price is also very high, it would be great if 100,000 units can be sold. But no one expected that it would eventually achieve sales of 140,000 units, ranking third in the country. And looking at the sales in the first few months of this year, it is possible that this data will increase significantly.
It seems that Feng Yu can make every step correctly, but cars are really different. Rich people prefer imported cars with good quality. People without money will not buy cars, but motorcycles are good. Even the sales of second-hand imported cars on the market. They all sell better than domestically produced cars.
Besides, the location of Bingcheng is not good. It is next to the largest FAW in the country, so it is easy to be crushed to death.
"Mayor Zhang, why don't you report it to the city like this? I can guarantee that within three years, the annual sales volume will reach 50,000 units. How much tax revenue will this bring to the city? Another thing, I heard that the city plans to invest in education this year. Increase investment, but unfortunately the city's finances are also tight. I can donate and build three new teaching buildings for schools designated by the city."
Zhang Ruiqiang's eyes lit up and he donated to build three new teaching buildings. This is good news. The cost of a teaching building is at least several hundred thousand, and if it is better, it will cost more than one million. In this way, the city can focus on supporting a few dilapidated schools.
"Okay, I will report it to the leader. In this way, you wait two days and I will give you a reply in two days."
…
Two days later, Feng Yu came to Zhang Ruiqiang's office again, but when he saw Zhang Ruiqiang's smiling face, he always felt like he was facing an old fox.
Feng Yu instantly realized that the city must have agreed, but it still wanted to get more money from him!
Damn, are you going to fight against the local tyrants? If I go to other places to invest and build factories, why don’t you treat me like a boss
"Mayor Zhang, looking at your expression, does the city agree?"
"I've agreed, but the conditions have changed slightly."
"Hey, tell me, what are the conditions? I'll see if I can accept them." Feng Yu sighed depressedly.
"Article 1. Within three years, build ten new teaching buildings for the city. Each building must not be smaller than the size of the teaching building your father built on the farm."
Damn it, ten buildings would require an investment of at least tens of millions. Feng Yu found this acceptable. He also wanted to rely on education to build his reputation.
Like later generations, many college students are proud to have attended classes in Shaw Hall. If Sir Shao opened a company in the mainland, there would definitely be a large number of talents willing to join the company, even if the salary was lower.
"Including college?"
"University? No, mainly primary and secondary schools." The university has state investment, so the city doesn't need to worry about it for the time being.
Feng Yu was quite regretful. It would be great if he went to university, but primary and secondary schools would also work, but he also had to add a condition.
"Okay, but I have to name the teaching building."
"It's called Fengyu Tower? This is not very auspicious."
Feng Yu has a black streak on his head, your name is unlucky, and your whole family is unlucky!
"Is it okay to call it Taihua Building? The country is peaceful and the people are safe, which means the rise of China."
Zhang Ruiqiang rolled his eyes and pretended that I didn't know that it was named after your parents, but he still sang a high-pitched tune to me.
"Okay, we can agree to this. Then we have agreed on this one. Let's talk about the next one. The machinery company can never move out of Bingcheng, and no matter how the shares of the machinery company are diluted, it must at least be given to the city in the end. Keep ten percent of the shares!”
"I can promise that I will never move out of Bingcheng. However, I will retain at least 10% of the shares. This is up to you. As long as you invest in the same proportion, your current shares will not be diluted." Don't move out of Bingcheng. city? What's the problem with this? When the time comes, just create a holding company and transfer the shares of the machinery company to the name of the holding company. It will be easy to operate. Aren't you just worried about taxes? You don't have to pay taxes wherever you go.
"Okay, let me talk about the third one." Zhang Ruiqiang also knew that Feng Yu would definitely not agree to retaining the shares, so he was just testing it out.
"Wait a minute, Mayor Zhang, don't you have more than a hundred conditions?" Feng Yu quits, you are going on endlessly, who can stand it.
Zhang Ruiqiang smiled coquettishly: "No, the last condition is that the workers hired must be from Bingcheng first!"
"That's no problem. No more, it's settled!" Feng Yu quickly blocked Zhang Ruiqiang's mouth and could not raise any more conditions.
"No, no, these are the conditions. Here is the map of Bingcheng. Look at where you want to build the factory. Let's talk about the cost of land use."
Damn, you know it’s not that simple. The city still wants to retain the shares and use the land as a price to buy shares!
Feng Yu can agree to these conditions, and he must launch a car manufacturing project. This is a promising future! (To be continued.)
