Chapter 223 BYD Inspection
A few days later, Wang Chuanfu arrived in Luteng City and asked Pei Qianqian to convey to Qi Tongwei that he would officially start the inspection at 8:30 the next morning.
After receiving the call, Qi Tongwei immediately contacted the other party and sincerely invited him to a welcoming reception.
Wang Chuanfu told Qi Tongwei the hotel he was staying at, but rejected his offer to host a welcoming party.
Knowing from the other party's tone that he was not being falsely polite, Qi Tongwei stopped forcing it and decided to respect his wishes, impress him with his sincerity, and do his best to obtain the investment.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Qi Tongwei went to Green Vine Hotel without notifying anyone, only with his driver and secretary.
Not long after, Wang Chuanfu walked out of the hotel, accompanied by Gao Xiaoqin and several staff members.
Qi Tongwei glanced at Gao Xiaoqin and was secretly surprised that this little girl actually hid something from him and did not tell him that she was also participating in this operation.
"Mr. Wang, let me introduce you. This is Mayor Qi of Luteng City, and the benefactor who changed my destiny." Gao Xiaoqin walked forward and said.
"Hello, Mayor Qi, you look very young." Wang Chuanfu said with a smile.
"It is precisely because of our youth that we have a strong ability to accept new things. What are Mr. Wang's requirements for the inspection?" Qi Tongwei turned the topic to business.
"Let's drive around the city and its surrounding areas first, then go to see the electricity, and finally go to the Luteng Automobile Factory. What do you think, Mayor Qi?" Wang Chuanfu was obviously well prepared.
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "I will follow Director Wang's instructions for everything else. I would like to add one more item, which is to take a look at the newly built high-tech industrial park in Luteng City. What do you think, Director Wang?"
"I agree. Then the next day will be handed over to Mayor Qi." Wang Chuanfu did not mind Qi Tongwei's temporary addition of an inspection point. If he were not busy with work, he would really like to stay for a few more days to learn more about Lu Teng.
BYD has completed the layout of Changan. If Luteng is qualified, it will be a good supplement.
Zhang Jun was driving, Qi Tongwei and Wang Chuanfu were sitting in the back seat. They opened the car windows and looked out, while Qi Tongwei gave explanations.
“Although Luteng ranks at the bottom in Handong, its comprehensive strength is still among the best in the central and western cities.”
Qi Tongwei introduced the situation of Luteng. Luteng City has a large population, sufficient labor force, rich natural resources and a complete industrial system, which are all advantages in attracting foreign investment.
The car drove along the main road of the city. Qi Tongwei pointed out the high-rise buildings and commercial centers on the roadside and introduced them to Wang Chuanfu. They also passed by several schools and hospitals.
Then the car arrived in the suburbs. Qi Tongwei pointed to the industrial park not far away and said, "That is our high-tech industrial park. Currently, many companies have settled there, including several Fortune 500 companies that will become important engines for the economic development of our Green Vine City in the future."
As they were talking, the vehicle arrived at the gate of the High-tech Industrial Park. After communicating with the secretary, Qi Tongwei and his party began to visit.
“Director Wang, this is the high-tech industrial park that I built after taking office. The purpose is to build the southern Internet center.
Make good use of big data, create Internet + services, connect the Internet with the real economy, and catch up with the third industrial revolution. "Qi Tongwei explained while introducing.
"The third industrial revolution? What do you mean?" Wang Chuanfu said curiously.
Qi Tongwei organized his words and said: "It's hard to say. There are two views at present. But it can't be separated from the scope of information technology and Internet technology.
Our country missed the first two industrial revolutions, and we must catch up this time no matter what.
I believe that as long as we take the right steps, we will be able to overtake Western countries and become a world power.”
Wang Chuanfu glanced at Qi Tongwei and said, "Mayor Qi, you are a leader with an international vision. I am very happy to cooperate with you."
Qi Tongwei was delighted and smiled. He quickly responded, "Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Wang. It is my honor to receive your praise! Then the investment..."
Wang Chuanfu interrupted Qi Tongwei and said, "I haven't confirmed it yet, but I can promise you that as long as the Luteng Automobile Factory meets our expectations, Luteng will become the second city after Changan to cooperate with BYD Auto."
Qi Tongwei was overjoyed and nodded quickly to express his gratitude.
Afterwards, everyone went to the Green Vine Automobile Factory for a visit and inspection.
On the way, Qi Tongwei briefly introduced the situation of Luteng Automobile. He did not hide anything, but told the current situation and development prospects of Luteng Automobile in a realistic way.
Wang Chuanfu smiled and said, "Mayor Qi is indeed a trustworthy person. To be honest, we also know something about Luteng Automobile. We are mentally prepared for what you said."
Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief. He came with great sincerity to introduce BYD. First, BYD is a new energy enterprise. Second, BYD factory can greatly alleviate employment pressure and at the same time drive the rise of related downstream industries.
The Luteng Automobile Factory was founded in the 70s and had previously cooperated on military projects. Unfortunately, during Wang Zheng’s reign, Luteng Automobile declined rapidly and fell far behind other automobile companies.
Especially after entering the new millennium, it faced the risk of bankruptcy at any time and relied entirely on government financial support.
Qi Tongwei tried to liquidate the company several times, but had to give up due to the lack of more than 5000 skilled workers.
"Mr. Wang, this is Ma Ming, the temporary head of Luteng Automobile. Master Ma, this is Mr. Wang of BYD Company." Qi Tongwei introduced.
"Hello, Master Ma." Wang Chuanfu himself has a technical background and likes technical personnel very much.
"Hello, Mr. Wang." Ma Ming said stiffly.
Qi Tongwei explained to Wang Chuanfu, "Boss Wang, before I received your company's intention, I planned to restructure the company. I almost wiped out the management team, and most of the people left in the factory are technicians."
Qi Tongwei talked as he walked, constantly emphasizing the advantages of the Luteng Automobile Factory.
Wang Chuanfu just smiled and didn't express much opinion, which made Qi Tongwei feel unsure.
Wang Chuanfu certainly had his own unique side to achieve such a great success. He followed Ma Ming silently, listening carefully to the introduction of the factory and production line.
The questions he raised were very detailed and involved many technical details. Qi Tongwei could no longer keep up with the pace of their conversation.
After all, he didn't understand these technical issues and couldn't interrupt.
Therefore, he decided not to disturb the two of them, but to follow them quietly, while also leaving himself some time to communicate with Gao Xiaoqin.
"Tell me, why did you come to Lu Teng? You didn't even inform me in advance." Qi Tongwei asked in a low voice.
Gao Xiaoqin smiled slightly and replied jokingly, "That won't work! I'm here on behalf of the company!
Our company now owns 17% of BYD's shares, which makes us a major shareholder. In order to protect the interests of shareholders, of course we cannot inform you in advance."
She blinked, and there was a hint of charm in her smile.
Qi Tongwei shook his head helplessly, this little girl.
However, her arrival can still play some role to some extent. Under the same conditions, Green Ivy must be the first choice.
