Spring Breeze 1991

BMW's final assembly line is exactly the same as that used by Mitsubishi Motors itself, and both are manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.Based on the good cooperation foundation that Mitsubishi Corporation regards Yao Yuan as a strategic partner, Nanfang Industrial can obtain some technologies of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries relatively easily.

Li Yaowen, who jumped over from General Motors to serve as the general manager of BMW, reported the recent situation. He said, "The production of the three configuration models has already started, and the winch customized by the Karamay Oilfield and the V33 model with off-road tires have also passed the qualification. test."

He gave a succinct report for ten minutes, and then said, "Mr. Yao, our biggest problem right now is that we don't have the qualifications for car production, and if we can't enter the car production catalog, our cars can only be sold through internal channels."

Rao Yao Yuan has already earned billions of dollars of foreign exchange for the country, and it is not an easy task to get BMW cars into the car production catalog.

The point is that Yao Yuan is not very willing to use his special relationship with the state ministries and commissions to solve this problem.

He is an idealist, and when he thinks about problems, he always thinks, if it is another company with no special relationship, how difficult is it to apply according to the normal process?

It turns out, really hard.

Many people said that Li Jili's ability to obtain a car birth certificate in the end is a manifestation of the change in national policy and a victory for the common people.

The real situation is little known.

Take a look at the example of Geely's swallowing of Volvo, who was in charge of the location of the Geely factory at that time, and then look at the source of funds for Geely's acquisition of Volvo.

Reality always frustrates ordinary people, but it is also full of hope. Life is moving forward amidst such contradictions.

Yao Yuan had no choice but to compromise. He took the mobile phone and went to the side to dial Xia Honghua's office number, and said straight to the point, "Old Xia, I'm Yao Yuan."

"Xiao Yao, what's the matter?" Xia Honghua checked the number, confirmed that it was Yao Yuan himself, and picked up a pen to record it.

If nothing happened, Yao Yuan would not take the initiative to call.

Yao Yuan said, "It has been more than half a year since BMW entered the automobile production catalogue. Please do me a favor and urge me."

"That's all?" Xia Honghua smiled and put down his pen.

Yao Yuan smiled wryly and said, "It's a one-sentence matter for you, but it's a big deal for me. Thousands of BMW employees have worked hard for more than half a year, and now everything is ready. If the birth certificate cannot be obtained, our cars will not be able to be sold, and thousands of people will have problems eating and drinking.”

"Chairman Yao, don't cry with me about being poor. Old Zheng from the Administration of Foreign Exchange joked yesterday that they are almost becoming part-time workers for you. Most of the foreign exchange reserves are owned by your Southern Industry Corporation." Xia Honghua laughed.

At present, the first-tier companies that have not been merged and reorganized include Huaxia United Bank, Shenzhen Development and Yuanda Investment. These companies belong to the financial sector and have not yet reached the time when they must be merged and reorganized into a group company.

Xia Honghua knows the situation of Union Bank best. It is not making money every day, but making tons of money every day. The profit in the Moscow area alone is as high as more than 2000 million US dollars every month, which is really crazy.Therefore, Yao Yuan should not cry poorly.

He smiled and said, "You still have a car factory? Why have you never said that? The state strongly supports the development of the car industry, and the five-year plan clearly states that by the end of this century, the annual production of cars will be 150 million."

"By the year 2000, the annual production of automobiles will exceed 200 million easily. Lao Xia, your overall plan is too conservative." Yao Yuan laughed, "I plan to build a production base for passenger cars with an annual output of 50 vehicles. Give me the birth certificate, and my next series of plans cannot be advanced."

Xia Honghua stood up suddenly, "Wait, wait, what did you say, how much is the annual output?"

The automobile industry is one of the industries with the highest economic added value, and it is one of the industrial classifications closely related to people's livelihood. It is also an important classification to measure a country's industrial level. Finally, for China, which has a population of 10 billion, the automobile market It is an extremely huge market.

By 2020, the annual production and sales of Huaxia Automobile will reach 2500 million, and the car ownership will reach 2.8 million, which is basically the same as that of the United States.

Counting from the start of the automobile industry in 1993, it has only been 27 years.

"The designed production capacity is 50 vehicles, which refers to passenger vehicles alone. At the same time, it plans to build two production bases with an annual output of 10 heavy-duty trucks." Yao Yuan said.

Xia Honghua was stunned, he suddenly came back to his senses, "Xiao Yao, are you in Nangang?"

"Yes." Yao Yuan said.

Xia Honghua said decisively, "I'll coordinate the production catalog. How about this? I'll go to Nangang in a few days. It's been a while since I returned to China. Let's have a good chat."

"I may not be free recently, there are many things in my hometown." Yao Yuan said with a smile.

How could Xia Honghua let Yao Yuan go, and immediately said, "It's all right, you're busy with your work, I'll go over to find you, just to chat casually, that's it, I'll hang up first, and we'll talk when we meet in two days!"

After hanging up the phone, Xia Honghua picked up his notebook and went out to report the situation to the deputy director.

After listening to the report, Deputy Director Zhu asked seriously, "He is talking about a production base with an annual output of 50 cars and 20 trucks?"

Xia Honghua said, "One production base with an annual output of 50 passenger cars and two production bases with an annual output of 10 heavy-duty trucks."

"Is there a difference?" Deputy Director Zhu took off his glasses and asked.

Xia Honghua nodded affirmatively, "Yes. Passenger vehicles refer to sedans, minibuses, and light passenger vehicles with no more than 9 seats. If they are subdivided into types, they include basic passenger vehicles, that is, sedans and multi-purpose vehicles. mpv, sports utility vehicle, suv for short in English, as well as special-purpose passenger cars and cross-type passenger cars. Heavy-duty trucks generally refer to trucks, including commercial trucks and engineering trucks.”

Deputy Director Zhu was very surprised, and said, "Did you specifically check the information?"

"Yes, Director. Yao Yuan is a student of Xihai University of Technology. He is the proud student of Academician Mo Sen. There must be a reason for his special emphasis on the production base of passenger cars instead of the production base of automobiles." Xia Honghua explain.

Deputy Director Zhu was even more surprised, "Unexpectedly, after our young big entrepreneur is a famous teacher, Academician Mo is an authority in the field of industrial machinery. No wonder he will develop industrial machinery research and development as the core business of the company."

"Yes, when we were in Moscow, Yao Yuan mentioned during the chat that he set up a science and technology research institute, and Mopeding Stone was a technical consultant." Xia Honghua said with a smile, "Yao Yuan said that he would hire and train 1000 mathematicians. , 3000 physicists, 10000 researchers, 30000 million engineers, say yes, say this is Chunfeng Group’s 1313 plan, to build Chunfeng Academy of Sciences into the world’s largest corporate research institution.”

Deputy Director Zhu couldn't help laughing, "Young man is very ideal."

No one believed Yao Yuan's arrogant words.

Xia Honghua got to the point, he said, "Director, the annual output value of a car production base with an annual output of 50 vehicles can reach 500 billion. This is the most conservative estimate. Two 10 truck production bases can each produce Bring an annual output value of more than 50 billion."

Swallowing, Xia Honghua said in a deep voice, "After the completion of the three automobile production bases, in the year when the maximum production capacity is reached, the annual output of automobiles in our country will exceed 150 million..."

Deputy Director Zhu realized the great significance. He said, "The DPCA, a joint venture with France in May, has a designed annual production capacity of 50 vehicles. Already... when is Yao Yuan planned to be completed?"

Xia Honghua quickly said, "Southern Industrial doesn't even have the qualifications to produce automobiles, and its subsidiary BMW can only sell their assembled Pajero off-road vehicles in the name of construction machinery."

"Production qualification is not a problem." Deputy Director Zhu shook his head and said.

With an annual output of 70 vehicles, ten production qualifications are not a problem.

Xia Honghua said solemnly, "It's not convenient to talk in detail on the phone, I plan to go to Nangang as soon as possible to meet with him and discuss this matter."

"When he was in Moscow, he didn't reveal anything?" Deputy Director Zhu asked.

Xia Honghua smiled wryly and said, "At that time, everyone's energy was concentrated on the bank. He mentioned the car factory. He also bought a lot of Russian car technology and bought several car factories. When the equipment was shipped back to China I also helped to coordinate and contact the customs department. At that time, I really didn’t expect him to have such a big arm. I have learned about the situation of BMW cars. The scale is very small, and the current annual output is [-] vehicles.”

Nodding slowly, Deputy Director Zhu said, "Go to Nangang to find out the situation."

"About the location of the production base..." Xia Honghua asked for instructions.

Undoubtedly, where the automobile production base is located, it can greatly stimulate the economic development there, and it can make a prefecture-level city change from an industrially backward area to an industrially developed area in a short period of time.

Deputy Director Zhu waved his hand and said, "We fully respect the opinions of enterprises. We can guide and provide reference opinions, but we cannot make decisions for enterprises, let alone interfere with the development of enterprises with administrative orders."

With these words, Xia Honghua had confidence in his heart. He knew Yao Yuan and followed the character of the donkey, so he could only follow him, otherwise he could do anything.

"Don't go there empty-handed." Deputy Director Zhu said with a smile.

Xia Honghua smiled, "Understood, director, don't worry, I will handle the production qualification of Nanfang Industrial now."

The Planning Commission came forward, and the process was like clockwork. The relevant departments immediately held a special meeting for approval. The next day, I took a flight to Guangdong City with gifts and related materials, and then transferred to the car arranged by the provincial government and went straight to Nangang.
