Chapter 622 I Have a Friend

"Director Ma, we country people don't say so many beautiful words. I'll drink this drink. You can do whatever you want."

From now on, when my Xiao Rui works under you, you will be strict with him and beat him if he doesn't work well."

After drinking for three times, Li Ye learned that Uncle Bao from the north had come all the way to attend Wen Guohua's wedding and had accidentally found a formal job for his youngest son.

Wen Qingsheng was nostalgic. When he saw Uncle Bao's youngest son Bao Xiaorui still digging for food in his hometown, he asked if he would like to work as a worker in COFCO.

Bao Xiaorui arrived in the capital from the bitter cold land in the north. He was already dazzled by what he saw. How could he not be reluctant?

So I made a preliminary decision to work as a transport driver under Director Ma after joining the company.

In a few decades, it will be difficult to find a partner as a dirty and tired transport driver, but now if they can arrange for you to be a driver, then you have to thank them very much.

Uncle Bao drank two taels of wine in one gulp, then glared at his son and said disgustedly: "Why are you just sitting there stupidly? Why don't you pour me a drink for you, Director Ma? From now on, follow Director Ma and be smarter." Son."

Bao Xiaorui, who had not spoken since the beginning of the meal, lowered his head and poured wine for Director Ma, and said something like a mosquito, but no one at the table heard it clearly.

Uncle Bao glared again, and Director Ma quickly said: "Uncle Bao, don't worry! I think this kid Xiao Rui is very smart.

Besides, hasn’t he driven a tractor before? Then I guarantee that there will be no problem when you come here. It will take three months to pass the driving test, and then I will arrange an Isuzu for you to drive."

It was not unreasonable for Wen Qingsheng to send Director Ma to accompany the guests. He had no airs at all, and his chat was simple and open-minded, just like a worker brother.

The shy Bao Xiaorui was a little excited when he heard that he was about to get his driver's license and have a car to drive. He blushed and asked in a low voice: "What kind of car is Isuzu?"

Director Ma smiled and said: "Isuzu is a small truck that came from Xiaoriben. It is the kind where people can sit in the front two rows and the cargo box in the back can haul cargo."

"Oh oh oh, I understand," Bao Xiaorui nodded repeatedly and said, "I have seen 130 in my hometown, and they were also two rows in front with fighters behind them."

"Hahahaha, that's different. The Isuzu and the 130 look similar, but they are so different in driving. The trucks from my childhood are much better than the cars we have in Shanghai!"

"Is it better than a small sleeper car?"

Bao Xiaorui was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled innocently, a little confused, but more of a surprise.

Darling, it’s better than the car the county magistrate rides in~

Director Ma didn't make any big claims. It's an Isuzu light truck from the 1980s. It has air conditioning and heating. It can run for more than 100 kilometers just by pressing the accelerator. It is indeed much better than the cars in Shanghai, but the price is also expensive. many.

However, Director Ma's laughter made Lao Bao and Li Zhongfa fall into silence.

Of course Li Zhongfa knew that Xiaoli's products were good, and he also admitted that the other party's products were good. After all, more than 40 years ago, he also liked to use 38-inch caps and didn't like to use old sleeves.

But faced with this situation, he always felt unable to laugh.

"Alas~"

Director Ma sighed and said with some emotion: "To tell you the truth, when I first started working, I drove a 130. At that time, driving a 130 was more comfortable than driving a car, so I have a lot of affection for the 130.

But the year before last, we imported a batch of Isuzus, and experienced drivers were all vying to drive them, and they all despised the 130. So I have to admit that we are many years behind others. "

"."

Li Zhongfa nodded slowly and said: "We should admit that we are lagging behind, but we will not lag behind forever. When our factory first started producing instant noodles, we also struggled with the instant noodles of Xiaozhi.

At first, our Qingshuihe brand could only be sold in China, and foreigners didn’t believe that we could do it well. But now two years have passed, and we are exporting to Hong Kong Island, Japan, and Southeast Asia. No one says it is good. "

In fact, Li Zhongfa's words are somewhat bragging. Qingshuihe instant noodles have indeed begun to try to export, but they have not yet reached the level where everyone is applauded.

But after hearing this, Director Ma raised his thumb and said: "Uncle Li, your instant noodles are really good. I liked the braised beef noodles the year before last. This year you have mushroom and chicken soup noodles. The taste is really amazing." .”

Li Zhongfa said modestly: "We are also learning and developing at the same time. The more we develop, the more we cannot stop.

Just like what you just said about Beijing 130, it hasn’t changed in twenty years. It only started to improve last year or the year before. I don’t know if it can be done in time.”

Director Ma nodded and smiled: "It is true that development is too slow. Last year, the country spent three million US dollars to introduce Isuzu's production technology and put it into the Second Automobile Factory in Beijing.

Jingcheng Second Automobile Group Co., Ltd. lacks funds, so it applied for a joint venture this year. Then we, COFCO and Hong Kong Island Seris Company, jointly invested in shares, and established a light vehicle company with Jingcheng Second Automobile Group Co., Ltd. to build better cars.

Don't worry, Old Uncle Li, we won't be left behind forever, we have to be better than our masters."

"Hong Kong Island Seris Company?"

Li Zhongfa glanced at Li Ye doubtfully.

Li Ye smiled knowingly and said, "Grandpa, you guessed it right, it's Pei Wencong. Oh no, it was Pei Wencong who invested with me."

In history, Beijing No.2 Automobile did submit a project proposal in October 1985, preparing to raise funds through a joint venture with CITIC Investment Company and Hong Kong Shortage Co., Ltd. to accelerate the absorption of the imported Isuzu automobile production technology.

However, due to the role of Li Ye, the butterfly, this joint venture project has undergone a slight change.

At this time, mainland enterprises are very keen on introducing foreign capital. After Pei Wencong invested in Changbei Machinery Factory, he had a special investment team to find suitable investment enterprises in the mainland.

So when the Beijing 130 manufacturer with a "star effect" in the mainland light truck market came to the door, the two sides hit it off.

And the joining of COFCO was the result of Wen Qingsheng's promotion.

So the current status of this project is that Hong Kong Island Seris replaced Hong Kong Island Shortage, and COFCO replaced CITIC. Although the nature of the investment subject has not changed much, the shareholding ratio has changed, and the direction of history has also changed.

In the original historical trajectory, the registered capital of Beijing Light Automobile Co., Ltd., a Sino-foreign joint venture, was 200 million yuan, with Beijing Second Automobile Co., Ltd. holding 70%, CITIC Investment Co., Ltd. holding 5%, and Shortage Co., Ltd. holding 25%, and the joint venture period was 15 years.

Now, because of Li Ye, the registered capital has increased by 40%, with Beijing Second Automobile Co., Ltd. holding 51%, COFCO holding 25%, and Hong Kong Island Seris holding 24%, and the joint venture period is 20 years.

Li Ye wanted to get the controlling rights, but unfortunately, Beijing Second Automobile Co., Ltd.'s mother-in-law was also strong. It was impossible to violate the principles, but outside the principles.

The boss of Beijing Second Automobile Co., Ltd.'s mother-in-law is at today's banquet!

In the forty years since the reform and opening up, there are several industries in which private enterprises in the mainland are the most glorious, among which electronics and automobiles are the two most prominent categories. How could Li Ye not try his hand?

Due to the restrictions of the national "Automotive Industry Policy", the entry threshold of the mainland automotive industry is much higher than that of the electronics industry.

In just one year, Li Ye's Pengcheng Fengyu is about to go into production, and the joint venture with Factory 506 has also been in sight.

But in the automotive industry, Li Ye has only encountered this opportunity to enter the market so far.

Whether it is Boss Wang of Pengcheng Dizi or Wang Geely of Zhejiang Province, after many years, they are in a similar situation to Li Ye now, without a production license of their own. Li Ye has already walked ahead of them.

Don't say that Li Ye is digging the country's wall. In history, Beijing Second Automobile eventually went bankrupt, part of its assets were eventually merged with Beijing Hyundai, and the other part was acquired by real estate developers.

And Li Ye wants to see if he can go his own way under his influence. Electronics + automobiles, is it equal to new energy? Musk's Tesla can't always be sought after, right?

"By the way, this classmate Li Ye, I heard that you are not only a top student of economics at Peking University, but also a writer of Seven Inch Blade, right?"

Li Ye is thinking about his "car dream"! Director Ma suddenly asked him with a smile.

Li Ye nodded and said with a smile: "I just like to write stories, I can't be considered a writer."

"Yeah, you are too modest," Director Ma said with an exaggerated expression: "If you are not a writer, then what are those writers who write some tofu blocks in newspapers and have eyes on their foreheads?"

Li Ye: "."

[Brother, have you been bullied by some cultural hooligan? Why are you so prejudiced against writers? ]

Director Ma smiled, and then asked Li Ye seriously: "Student Li Ye, I have an economic question to ask you, that is, I have a friend who is from Beijing Second Automobile,

He is now very hesitant, whether to go to the joint venture light vehicle company or stay in the old factory, because the new factory is going to move to Shunyi, what if the new factory does not develop well."

Li Ye looked at Director Ma who was asking him seriously, and he couldn't help but murmured in his heart.

[Your friend, is it you? 】

After the establishment of Beijing Light Automobile Company, COFCO will definitely send someone there, maybe a deputy general manager, but the rank is unlikely to be promoted, after all, the superior unit of Beijing Second Automobile is only a full-level department-level unit.

So if Shunyi does not develop well in the future, COFCO withdraws its investment and returns in disgrace, there will be no hope in this life.

Li Ye here has not figured out how to answer! Grandpa Li Zhongfa over there spoke out of "curiosity".

"Shunyi? Where is Shunyi?"

"Oh, Uncle Li, you don't know? Shunyi is in the mountains in the north! It takes half a day to get back to Beijing by car."

"That means it's out of Beijing, right? Oh, you have to think about it carefully, if it doesn't develop well."

"Yes, yes, you can't go."

"."

People at the table were talking about it. Li Zhongfa was ambiguous. Li Yue and Yang Yumin had no right to say anything, but Uncle Bao felt that he had to stay in Beijing and was determined not to go to the mountains to redevelop.

But Li Ye suddenly said: "He should go to the new factory and stay in the automobile industry. The second car factory has no future. "

Director Ma looked at Li Ye with burning eyes and continued to ask: "What is the future of Shunyi's light vehicle company? My friend and I are both rough people, we don't understand economics and can't see through the future!"

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say. If the new joint venture company can work together, the prospects will be very bright. If the three companies argue with each other, it will be a mess."

"Li Ye is right about working together. We got along very well when we first met. Come on, let's have a drink."

Director Ma and Li Ye had a drink, and the more they talked, the more they got interested.

The Seven-inch Blade was related to Pei Wencong from Hong Kong Island, which was no longer a big secret in Beijing University.

And the future development of the newly-joint Beijing Light Vehicle Company was of vital importance to Pei Wencong.

Because the reason why Beijing Automobile Factory No. 2 chose the joint venture was that they were short of money. Their 51% stake was more because of land, equipment, and labor.

According to the nature of mainland enterprises, the first party to come up with real money among the three parties must be Hong Kong capital.

If Hong Kong capital is not open, then does this joint venture still have prospects? Don't try it for two or three years and then fail again!

In addition, after solving the problem of funds, when Director Ma's friend arrives at the light vehicle company in the future, who should he work with? Don't we have to have a good chat?
