Chapter 962 What Should I Fear?
When Wu Bian heard Li Shufu's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The goods have to be so forbearing.
He didn't expect that the other party would ask him such a question so directly. From any point of view, it seemed inappropriate. After all, the two people met for the first time, so they could be considered to have a close relationship.
However, Fan Wubing is also relatively able to understand Li Shufu's psychology. After all, Li Shufu has always been like a dragon in the market, but he is trembling in front of the government.
His license transferred from the prison factory not only had a suspicious origin, but also strictly stipulated that it could only produce trucks and hatchbacks. If Geely wanted to grow, it must have a legal and formal birth certificate. This became the top priority that Li Shufu had to solve. .
According to the country's automobile industry policy, all resources and policies will be concentrated on the three major state-owned automobile groups: FAW, IIW and SAIC. The probability of Geely gaining legal approval is very slim.
Therefore, last year, Vice Premier Zeng of the State Council who was in charge of industry went to Taizhou for investigation and made a special trip to Geely to inspect. Li Shufu asked for orders in person, asking that private enterprises be allowed to boldly try and private entrepreneurs be allowed to dream of cars. Speaking of excitement, Li Shufu said, if I fail, please give me a chance to fail.
His generous words moved everyone who heard them.
For such a genuine person, Fan Wubing felt that he really couldn't blame him, nor could he avoid his questions.
Fortunately, now he finally got what he wanted, and Geely can produce cars in an honest way.
Fan Wubing pondered for a moment, and then said, "Being known is not a bad thing. As the saying goes, not being jealous is mediocrity. Geely can stick to its own path of low-priced cars and realize the dream of Chinese families to buy cars. , He has made a huge contribution to all the people, and this is something we, Fan, can learn from.”
Nowadays, Fan Wubing's status is quite prominent, so when he speaks, it is equivalent to whether the business community takes Li Shufu seriously. Since then, Geely has been recognized and affirmed by large consortiums such as Fan Investment Group, which has positive significance. is quite large.
Fan Wubing knew this very well, and he also understood that Li Shufu asked him what he thought of them in front of the public. In fact, he just wanted to get out of this vicious circle of being despised by his peers and appear upright in front of the industry. Speaking of which, he was used by him.
But Fan Wubing doesn't think this is a bad thing. Compared with those state-owned automobile enterprises that rely on imported technology, cooperation on production, and monopoly on policy, he himself doesn't have a good look on them, because they actually rely on Using taxpayers' money and resources to implement their own industry monopoly not only fails to make progress, but also blocks the way for private enterprises to build cars.
After years of practice, not only have they failed to achieve independent research and manufacturing, but they have killed the ideals of many grassroots people who hope to realize the national car-making dream through their own exploration. This is very frustrating.
If you are not good enough yourself, you still don’t allow others to succeed. You are occupying the manhole and do nothing. Typical officials are not officials, and businessmen are not businessmen. They are a whole group of idiots who are parasitic on the national system and rely on embezzling state-owned assets to make a living. The behavior is very disgusting.
Fan Wubing has always believed that false prosperity caused by relying on industry monopoly to record people's hard work is reactionary in nature, abominable in behavior, vicious in psychology, and predictable in its end.
Therefore, Fan Wubing couldn't help but say a few more words, "At that time, some experts said that if you don't have tens of billions of funds, you shouldn't talk about building a car. Practice has proved that this is wrong. Mr. Li only used 100 million in start-up capital." , not only did it build a car, but it also looked good, and what was even more worthy of recognition was that the price was quite cheap. Many families realized their family car dreams through Geely cars, which was very remarkable, some experts said at the time. , Building a car requires advanced technology. FAW, Second Automobile Works, and SAIC are not capable of doing it alone. Why are you, an old farmer, crazy? But Mr. Li doesn’t believe in this evil. You can knock out a car with a hammer. This is Chinese craftsmanship. This car, in foreign countries, is equivalent to a handmade Rolls-Royce!”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. They all said that Mr. Fan was famous for his humorous speech, and it was true.
"Experts at that time also said that the profit margins of domestic cars were too high to reduce the price, but what is the actual situation?" Fan Wubing continued, "The actual situation is that since the birth of Mr. Li's car, the price of 100,000 yuan The price of low-end cars has dropped to RMB 38,000! Is there very little profit margin here? Obviously, these so-called experts are talking nonsense with their eyes wide open!”
Hearing Fan Wubing talk about this issue, many people present fell silent. After all, there were indeed some industry professionals among these people. Regarding the sensitive issue of price, most people are reluctant to mention it. After all, there are many problems here that cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Moreover, the water here is also very deep and there are many concerns.
"I admire Mr. Li very much. Are there still cars priced below 30,000 yuan?" Fan Wubingzhi said. Then he answered himself. "I believe there will be something for Mercedes-Benz. After the cost of car-making factories has been reduced, more private car companies will appear. When car prices generally fall, quality and service will be the key, so we There is every reason to believe that in ten years, first-tier family cars priced at RMB 40,000 to 50,000 will become the mainstream.”
"Then Mr. Fan, why are all the cars you build in the mid- to high-price range?" Someone asked this question.
Fan Wubing laughed and said, "That's a good question! The so-called high price and low price are just for the same grade of car models. We, Fan, are mainly focusing on the mid-to-high-end car market. Our main competitive targets are Japanese, Korean and American companies. Naturally, the price will not be too low, but to be fair, no matter in terms of price, quality and service, our models have absolute advantages. If it is economical, of course, Mr. Li's car is more suitable, but if everyone has more money in their pockets, our Fan's car is also a good choice, and it can be customized, but the price is higher."
After a delay here, Fan Wubing said goodbye and left.
After returning, Fan Wubing immediately started to investigate the details of Li Jinchuan who dared to use Tong Yushan's office computer to do tricks.
"This person used to come from the political and legal system of Donghai Province. According to the materials we collected from Donghai Province, this person was not very clean during his tenure, but I don't know whose way he took, and he was transferred to Shanghai. It can be said that his power has risen one step further." The subordinate reported to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing nodded after hearing this. He said with some curiosity, "He is from the political and legal system and has no practical experience in governance. Does he want to covet the position of governor of Lingxi Province? Besides, there is no precedent for going from Shanghai to Lingxi, which is puzzling."
Cadres from Shanghai have always been easy to be promoted to Beijing. It is indeed rare to go to remote areas. Although the market in Lingxi Province is rising now, it is not necessary for Li Jinchuan to do this for this position.
"Could it be that Li Jinchuan has some grudge against Tong Yushan?" Fan Wubing was suspicious.
Therefore, Fan Ebing called Tong Yushan to ask about this matter.
"What, it was Li Jinchuan who did it?" Tong Yushan was very surprised after hearing the news. Obviously, he couldn't figure out why Li Jinchuan would do this, nor did he understand what benefit it would bring to him.
The two of them discussed it and decided that since they had already taken the initiative, there was no need to rush to act. After all, it was not clear what the other party's purpose was. They could just wait and see and respond to changes. If Li Jinchuan didn't have a backup plan, it would be fine. Once he had any follow-up actions, the evidence they had now, plus the new evidence, would easily knock him down.
According to Fan Wu Bing's usual approach is that it is not difficult to defeat the enemy, but to put someone to death and never turn over, you need to consider all the factors. If you really want to make a grudge with a powerful person at the vice-ministerial level, in the end, he will fall into the abyss when they fight, and there will be no chance to turn over.
Afterwards, Fan Wu Bing was a little surprised. Tong Yushan can be regarded as a figure who grew up among the local cadres in Shanghai. It is indeed unreasonable for a dragon who has just arrived to dare to plot against him. It is still difficult to say whether there is any conspiracy, but his intuition tells him that it is not simple. Now it is best to let it go and see. Choice.
After all, it is hard to say where the enemy is, whether they have backup, and what they want to achieve.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger. Fan Wubing is still very clear about this. Now he will naturally not make any obvious reactions, lest the other party gets the news and shrinks back and never shows up again. In that case, the goal of following the clues will not be achieved.
And there is another important point, that is, the evidence collection this time was completed by the security department. In a sense, this matter is not suitable for public display. Fan Wubing is also unwilling to be exposed because of this matter. If Jiang Lue is involved, it would be unfriendly to do so.
Of course, Fan Wubing did not think that there was anything to be afraid of Li Jinchuan, the opposition who jumped out for unknown reasons. Even if his background was bigger, Fan Wubing would not have the idea of retreating. After all, he could attack or defend, and he had enough capital in his hands. He was not afraid of any enemy challenging his dignity.
If someone really coveted the wealth of the Fan family, or if the forces around the Fan family wanted to be eliminated, Fan Wubing would not sit idly by. To put it another way, what should I be afraid of?
