Chapter 224 BYD settles in Greenvine
Qi Tongwei originally thought that Wang Chuanfu would consider it for a long time. After all, this was an investment project involving hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. But what he didn't expect was that Wang Chuanfu made the decision only after visiting the Luteng Automobile Factory.
"Mayor Qi, I have made up my mind. I agree to build a factory in Luteng." Wang Chuanfu is indeed a man of courage and ability to accomplish great things. Once he sees an opportunity, he will act without hesitation.
Upon hearing this news, Qi Tongwei was overjoyed and asked hurriedly, "Great! I wonder if Director Wang is planning to build a new factory or expand the Green Vine Automobile Factory?"
Wang Chuanfu thought for a moment and asked, "How much land does the Green Vine Automobile Factory currently occupy?"
Qi Tongwei answered almost without thinking: "The Luteng Automobile Factory covers an area of about 90 square meters, but about 40 square meters of it has not been fully utilized and developed."
"90 square meters should be enough to build a new production plant."
Wang Chuanfu muttered to himself, and then spoke again: "Mayor Qi, next I will entrust a professional third-party assessment and auditing company to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the assets of the Green Vine Automobile Factory. As for the specific cooperation agreement, we can wait until the assessment report is completed before discussing it."
"Okay, no problem, just do as Director Wang said.
There is one thing I want to explain in advance so that you can rest assured. We are only responsible for providing loans and land, and will not interfere with the daily operation and management of the factory.
But the original 5,000 employees of the Luteng Automobile Factory hope that your company can properly arrange their jobs and ensure that they can continue to be employed. "Qi Tongwei said with a serious face.
The reemployment of these workers has always been his focus. If this problem cannot be solved, then this cooperation will be difficult to succeed.
Hearing Qi Tongwei's request, Wang Chuanfu nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Mayor Qi, skilled workers are exactly what we need. I will accept all of them, but they must sign a contract with BYD and be managed according to BYD's system. If they violate our factory's regulations, we have the right to deal with them, and the government must not interfere."
"That's natural. When the time comes, the problems between you and the workers will need to be resolved by the labor arbitration department and the court. Our government will never interfere." Qi Tongwei responded with a smile.
The two men smiled and shook hands to show that an agreement had been reached, but it was certainly not a final agreement.
After the two sides reached a consensus, Qi Tongwei smiled and said to Wang Chuanfu: "Mr. Wang, you should not refuse our invitation to welcome us now, right?"
Wang Chuanfu laughed heartily and said, "Of course not! I will definitely have a couple of drinks with you tonight and ask you about the future development trend of science and technology."
He strongly advocated building the BYD factory in Luteng because of Qi Tongwei. He benefited a lot from chatting with Qi Tongwei today. He believed that if Qi Tongwei were to do business, he would definitely be a top wealthy businessman.
Then he thought of Pei Qianqian's assets, and Wang Chuanfu felt a little enlightened.
Chatting and laughing, everyone walked out of the car factory together.
Qi Tongwei beckoned his secretary Xu Pengfei to come over and whispered, "Find out about Mr. Wang's food preferences and book a suitable restaurant."
Worried that Xu Pengfei was not thoughtful enough, Qi Tongwei whispered to Gao Xiaoqin and asked her to help deal with the matter.
Then, Qi Tongwei picked up his mobile phone and called the municipal party secretary Huang Pengda to inform him that a banquet would be held in the evening to entertain Wang Chuanfu and his party.
In the evening, Qi Tongwei and Huang Pengda entertained Wang Chuanfu at a private restaurant in Luteng City.
At the invitation of Wang Chuanfu, Qi Tongwei expressed his views on future technology. He believes that if BYD Auto wants to overtake others, it must develop new energy vehicles.
“Of course, in the current context, directly developing new energy vehicles is not practical and will put a lot of pressure on the company.
We can first develop traditional cars and accumulate technology, and at the same time, don’t forget to research new energy vehicles, and cooperate with universities when necessary.” Qi Tongwei concluded.
Wang Chuanfu nodded thoughtfully, and he obviously took Qi Tongwei's words to heart.
……
Wang Chuanfu was very busy at work and left Luteng early the next morning. Then a third-party auditing company moved into the Luteng Automobile Factory. Qi Tongwei called Gao Xiaoqin and asked him to tell the auditors to review the accounts of previous years.
The audit results were only allowed to be told to Mr. Wang and himself, and it was obvious that Qi Tongwei was planning to cause trouble.
Half a month later, the asset appraisal work was finally completed, and Qi Tongwei also received the audit report, which clearly told Qi Tongwei that someone used various means to embezzle 1.8 million yuan.
This made him extremely angry. Damn it, a good car factory was ruined by these bastards, and they shamelessly opposed his sale of the Green Vine Car Factory.
Now it's clear that they are afraid of losing this ATM.
Qi Tongwei took the audit report directly to Huang Pengda’s office. To initiate an investigation, he needed the nod from the top leader.
After spending some time together, Qi Tongwei also saw what kind of person Huang Pengda was. This man was wise but appeared foolish, and he was relatively clean. He knew what was important and was not worried that Huang Pengda would not cooperate.
As expected, Huang Pengda asked directly: "Comrade Tongwei, how do you think we should deal with this?"
Qi Tongwei said in a firm tone: "Let the Anti-Corruption Bureau directly intervene in the investigation and make sure to recover the embezzled funds. We must not let these corrupt elements go unpunished. We must give the people an explanation!"
Qi Tongwei's goal is to promote some of his own people within a few years to lay the foundation for future work. He will not miss such a good opportunity.
Huang Pengda nodded slightly to show his agreement: "I support your idea."
He then called the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Fang Guomao and the Prosecutor General of the Procuratorate Hu Shengxiang, asking them to work together to complete the investigation as soon as possible.
The investigation by the anti-corruption and discipline inspection departments did not affect the government's negotiations with BYD.
After three rounds of negotiations, Luteng City and BYD signed a cooperation agreement.
BYD will invest a total of RMB 150 billion in three phases, with the first phase not less than RMB 50 billion. All equipment and land of Luteng Automobile Factory will be discounted by RMB 52 billion, accounting for 25.7% of the shares of Luteng BYD Co., Ltd.
As soon as this contract was signed, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire city and even the province. You should know that Jingzhou, the capital city of Handong Province, as well as Luzhou, Jinghai and other places had also competed for this project, but in the end it was won by Qi Tongwei.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention and heated discussions. Many people admired Qi Tongwei's ability, but at the same time, some doubts arose as to whether Qi Tongwei had traded national interests for his services.
However, after they read the agreement, they had no choice but to admit that Qi Tongwei was more skilled.
"Tongwei, you are too good at hiding things. You didn't even hear a whisper about such a big project." Gao Yuliang's sour voice came from the phone.
Qi Tongwei smiled and replied, "Teacher Gao, everyone knows that BYD is going to build a new factory. Everyone knows that various provinces and cities in the south are vying for the project to land. If I leaked any information, it might have been snatched away by other places.
That’s why I kept a low profile and waited until the agreement was signed before reporting it publicly.”
For this purpose, Qi Tongwei also specifically asked Wang Chuanfu not to report or spread the information before the agreement was signed so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
