Chapter 779 The Country's First Joint Venture Car Was Born!
January 3, 1983.
When Hong Kong was paying attention to the trial of Chen Songqing, chairman of the Jianing Group, Yang Ming was not paying attention at all.
This morning.
Except when He Chaoxun flew back to San Francisco from Hong Kong to attend classes at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley, Yang Ming did not personally send her back.
Instead, he asked Lin Dezhong and Ah Zhu to send her there personally.
"Sir, I'm going to the airport then." He Chaoxun said reluctantly.
"Pansy, call me when you arrive in San Francisco."
After Yang Ming gave her a hug, He Chaoxun got into the Bentley.
Lin Dezhong and Ah Zhu personally sent He Chaoxun to Kai Tak Airport.
Yang Ming knew that He Chaoxun's ability was indeed good. She had been studying with him as an assistant during this period. Judging from the summer vacation and this time when she came back, her ability to handle things was much higher than Lin Xiuzhi.
When she officially graduated and returned to Yang Ming to officially work as a secretary, Yang Ming felt that his work would be easier.
He Chaoxuan left for the airport, and Yang Ming also had to go back to work at the Empire Group.
. . .
17:30 in the afternoon.
Yang Ming and Mai Lisi finished discussing about the liquidation of the Jianing Group and the Empire Group taking over the companies and businesses of the Jianing Group.
In addition to the three listed companies, there are hundreds of subsidiaries and affiliates, and many of their businesses overlap with other companies under the Empire Group.
It is now impossible to keep the name of the Jianing Group. Many of its companies may become subsidiaries of the Empire Group or merge into those companies.
Yang Ming handed these over to Mai Lisi and the secretariat.
Yang Ming left here, got in the car, and went back to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
Just returned to the Empire Group.
Lin Dezhong said: "Boss, Mr. Edwards is here."
Edwards is the general manager of the Leland Group and the general manager of the Leland Group's Asian headquarters.
At this time, the Leland Group's global headquarters is in London, and the Asian headquarters is in Hong Kong. In addition, the real management of the Leland Group is also in Hong Kong.
Now Edwards may not go back to London several times a year.
Edwards came to see the boss Sir Yang, naturally there was something important.
Yang Ming went to the garden and saw Edwards in a suit.
"Boss."
Edwards hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"Edwards, please sit down."
When Yang Ming sat down, he had already learned.
This time Edwards came to talk about the joint venture between Leyland Group and the domestic joint venture. The first joint venture car of Pengcheng MG Automobile Company under Pengcheng Leyland Group is about to be launched.
In 1981, Edwards had already talked with Shencheng and Pengcheng in China.
Leyland Group and Shencheng Industrial Group, respectively, jointly established Shencheng Leyland Group and Pengcheng Leyland Group.
Among them, Shencheng Leyland Group includes Shencheng MG Automobile Company, Shencheng Rover Automobile Company, and Shencheng Triumph Automobile Company.
Pengcheng Leyland Group includes Pengcheng MG Automobile Company and MG Rover Automobile Company.
Yang Ming took a fancy to Shencheng at that time because the joint venture between Volkswagen and Shencheng was very successful in history.
Pengcheng was chosen because it is a special economic zone with different economic models and development speeds.
In early 1982, the two parties signed a joint venture contract and officially established the Pengcheng MG R&D base and production base in the Luohu Industrial Zone in Pengcheng.
Leyland Group also introduced the production line of MG cars from Country Y. A large number of parts were shipped from Country Y by sea, then unloaded at Shekou Port in Pengcheng, and then transported to the production line of the production base for assembly.
These days, the first joint venture Pengcheng MG1 between Pengcheng and Leyland Group has been produced.
This time Edwards invited Yang Ming to attend the launch ceremony of the first joint venture MG1.
In fact, other assemblies are now being carried out one after another.
When the time is right, the parts of MG cars and Rover cars may be produced in Pengcheng, and the engines will be shipped from Country Y.
It turned out to be the first joint venture car in China, and it was also the launch ceremony of Yang Ming's Leyland Group and the first joint venture car in China.
Originally, Edwards only had to attend on behalf of Leland Group and Empire Group. Pengcheng felt that this was very important, no less than the opening ceremony of the first domestic expressway.
"Edwards, the launch of the first joint venture car in China is indeed of great significance. Since Pengcheng attaches so much importance to it, I should take time to attend."
The most important thing is that Pengcheng is just across the Xiangjiang River.
If he attends in the morning, Yang Ming can return to Xiangjiang in the afternoon.
After Yang Ming and Edwards had a good talk.
Yang Ming decided to call Mai Lisi and others over.
Yang Ming still attaches great importance to joint venture cars.
Not only does he want to become a global car tycoon, he also wants to build a global car empire.
Obviously, domestic joint venture cars are the beginning of his car empire.
That night, Yang Ming had dinner with Edwards and Yang Jirong.
Early the next morning.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Lin Xiuzhi, Tang Shilian, Edwards and dozens of senior executives of Leland Group left the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa and went to Pengcheng.
8:00 am.
Yang Ming and others have arrived at the Luohu Port across the Xiangjiang River.
At this time, many people from Pengcheng are already waiting for him.
Including Liang Lao and others from Pengcheng.
"Mr. Yang, it's great that you can come here."
When seeing Mr. Yang, Mr. Mai Lisi, Miss Tang and others all came, Mr. Liang and others were still very excited.
Arrived at the Pengcheng MG Automobile Production Plant.
Yang Ming and others got off the car.
A group of people went inside.
In addition to the executives from Pengcheng, there are also executives from the Leyland Group.
It is easy to distinguish.
On one side are all Chinese, from the Pengcheng Industrial Group.
On the other side are all white, executives sent by the Leyland Group.
Because the production line was directly moved from Country Y, it is now basically semi-mechanized assembly.
In addition, all the parts are shipped from Country Y by sea.
Now, in addition to workers, there are also factory buildings and related policies used in Pengcheng.
In addition, the Leyland Group has also begun to train engineers in China.
When Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Mr. Liang and others visited, Mr. Liang and others were really excited.
They didn't expect that the most advanced cars in the world are now produced in this way.
Although the production line and parts are all shipped from Country Y, this is indeed the place where the first joint venture car in China was produced.
When Yang Ming and others finished the visit,
The first joint venture car Pengcheng MG1 officially held a new car launch ceremony.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Tang Shilian, Liang Lao, Edwards and others, hundreds of people stood in front of the Pengcheng MG1 car covered with red cloth.
In China, newspaper reporters and TV reporters from Hong Kong took photos and films.
Everyone slowly pulled open the red cloth covering the Pengcheng MG1 car.
Then applause broke out.
The first joint venture car in the country, Pengcheng MG1, was officially launched, and soon, it was officially sold nationwide.
