Chapter 2591 Bottom Line

The result of this meeting undoubtedly made Jin Ling's burden heavier. "I will transfer some people from the United States to help you form a special team and negotiate relevant matters with the government," Feng Yiping said to her immediately after returning.

Jin Ling did not agree this time. "It is not very useful to transfer anyone here,"

"I hope the local government will provide cash subsidies, or at the level of 1 billion US dollars. Do you think that even if you, the richest man Feng, personally come out, you can negotiate it?"

Feng Yiping smiled, "When we say cash, it does not necessarily mean real money. It can also be other equivalents, such as a built factory. There is a precedent for this, right?"

The task he gave to Musk was actually to wait until GM fell into the quagmire of bankruptcy next year, and then take the GM factory in Fremont that he had set his eyes on from GM without spending a penny.

Hurry up, it is estimated that as early as the fourth quarter of next year, it will become Tesla's vehicle factory.

Of course, GM will naturally not give them such a factory with an investment of more than one billion US dollars for nothing, but that is the business of the California government, that is, Governor Shi and others.

He also wants to do this in China.

"I say, this is a car factory. Have you ever calculated how much money it would cost to build such a factory and hand it over to you according to your wishes?" Jin Ling looked at him with sarcasm, "Don't think you are arrogant because you are the richest man,"

"Of course I have calculated it," Feng Yiping said.

According to his estimate, if everything goes according to his plan, the cost of building a new factory in China will be at least 30% less than the investment in the GM factory.

"It's not because I am the richest man that I am arrogant, but because Tesla makes me arrogant,"

"Have you ever thought about how much change this project can bring to the domestic automobile industry?"

"This will make us a pure electric vehicle powerhouse in the first place,"

Producing in China, all parts will be purchased from China in the later stage, which means that a complete supply chain will be built for latecomers, and the quality of products produced by every merchant in this supply chain is first-class and high-standard.

How much effort will this save for those latecomers?

Just think about how much the domestic pure electric vehicle manufacturers who originally relied on dismantling Tesla have learned.

"Despite this, I think your request will still be difficult to achieve," Jin Ling asked, "Are there any other problems?"

"Of course there will be problems. I think the government will definitely raise a question at that time, asking state-owned assets to enter the market and require a large share," Feng Yiping said.

Although they did not mention this issue today, I believe it will be a key point when they talk about it in detail.

"State-owned assets," Jin Ling shook her head.

Feng Yiping shared the same view as her, "So at the beginning, we can set the tone like this. If we require state-owned assets to enter the market, we don't need to discuss other issues."

It's okay for other state-owned assets, but he really doesn't like state-owned assets in the automotive industry.

It was decided at the beginning that foreign automobile companies must be controlled by state-owned assets when investing in China. The main starting point was to hope that state-owned assets could learn the technology of world-class automobile companies.

As a result, they learned a lot of technology, and they were all obsessed with money.

The unbearable chaos in the domestic automobile market later, the price of joint venture cars will at least be on par with the prices in Europe and the United States, which does not reflect our low-cost advantage at all. Not only did the price not drop much after domestic production, but it also increased the price. Not only did the after-sales service not guarantee, but all the problems were blamed on the users. It was not your driving habits, the road you drove on, or the fuel you filled was not good...

While they pushed the responsibility to the car owners, they may have implemented large-scale recalls in the world except our country for the same problem.

Not to mention that they were fined a lot all over the world for emission fraud, but we didn't even get a fart...

The reason why those car manufacturers whose sales in the Chinese market accounted for half of their market share mainly depended on us to make money, and they didn't take us seriously at all, a large part of the reason may have to fall on the state-owned assets holding shares in those joint ventures.

So many car owners in China have worked hard to buy a car, but ended up being very angry. If they are unlucky, they may even lose their lives. A big reason for this is also due to the state-owned assets.

It can be said with certainty that many of the things that joint ventures do are not human affairs, and they are the ones who support and cover the bottom line.

Otherwise, which company would dare to treat the users in their most important market so blatantly? Which company would dare to treat the users in their most important market so perfunctorily?

Because the state-owned assets, or representatives of state-owned assets, who hold shares in joint ventures, just want to get the highest return at the lowest cost.

As for the fact that foreign car companies have made a lot of money and the people have been wronged, what does it count for? Is it a big deal?

And some irresponsible practices of the mainstream joint ventures have been learned by all our domestic car manufacturers who are not doing their best.

Later, ordinary people said that when buying a car, they must not only enrich their relevant professional knowledge first, but also be more proficient than ordinary car shopping guides, and they must pray that the car they bring home must be good, and must not bring back a bunch of trouble.

Because once there is a problem, how can an individual user reason with the wealthy 4S stores or car companies...

A series of incredible chaos in the domestic automobile industry, speaking of it, those state-owned assets and relevant persons in charge who hold controlling stakes in joint ventures really have to bear the main responsibility.

So this is the bottom line set by Feng Yiping.

Otherwise, apart from other things, such problems will most likely arise in the future. For example, when pricing, there will definitely be such arguments, "The price is 700,000? Why is it so low? People who can spend 700,000 to buy a car will not care about spending an extra 200,000, so we have to set it at at least 1 million."

Feng Yiping believes that if state-owned assets are allowed to enter the market, this is definitely not a joke.

Not to mention, because of their efforts, this industry has become a high-profit industry, and it is also an industry with little supervision, so it is not surprising that it has also become an industry with high corruption...

Feng Yiping can't manage other things and doesn't want to manage them, but within his ability, he will never give some people a chance.

"I agree, even if it is finally settled in the province, I can't agree to this one," Jin Ling said.

On this point, she and Feng Yiping are highly consistent.

After all, she has experience working in state-owned enterprises.

"I have the same opinion," Feng Yiping nodded.

Even if all the localities disagree, he believes that the province will definitely support him, because they have benefited a lot from all kinds of cooperation with Feng Yiping.

When cooperating, Feng Yiping will never take advantage, and every project he invests in will bring huge economic benefits to the local area without causing trouble. This is the consensus of the province.

As for the related expenses brought about by this, such as the increase in transportation costs, Feng Yiping feels that it is worth it.

"Unlike in the United States, we have to package many issues into the relevant cooperation agreement," Feng Yiping said, "One very important point is the construction of charging stations."

"Power company, right," Jin Ling stroked his forehead.

"Yes," Feng Yiping nodded.

Since it is a pure electric car, it is natural to consider charging, and charging, first of all, must have electricity...

This is nonsense, although it seems simple and natural, but it will also be very troublesome to do it. Electric tiger, that's a joke!

In the United States, they can also mobilize some residents through the Solar City Company under construction to lay solar panels on their roofs to solve part of the energy needs, but if you want to do this in China, stop dreaming as soon as possible.

If you want to use electricity, how to build charging stations and where to build them may not be controlled by them.

"So, if the local government takes the initiative to help us coordinate these issues, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?"

Jin Ling rolled her eyes at him, "It's easy for you to say it,"

"I'm at ease with you doing it," Feng Yiping stood up and said to her in a very amiable and approachable manner, "I believe you will definitely complete this task perfectly before the third quarter,"

"What?" Jin Ling shouted, "Are you kidding?"

Feng Yiping put his hands behind his back and walked out leisurely, "I believe you can do it,"

"By the way," he suddenly turned around and lowered his voice, "I'm flying to the capital tomorrow, so, come upstairs in an hour, I have important work to discuss with you, um, it's very important," he emphasized.

Jin Ling was immediately angry and amused, blushing as she picked up a folder, "Get lost!"
