Automotive Black Technology Chapter 257: : Only when money is used can you regret less (please subscribe)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
Three days later.
Zhengxin’s official website announced that it will invest funds to expand and upgrade the company’s existing powertrain laboratory to create a complete vehicle laboratory, parts laboratory, materials laboratory, durability laboratory, EMC electromagnetic compatibility Laboratory, NVH sound insulation laboratory, crash safety laboratory, environmental wind tunnel laboratory, emission laboratory, powertrain laboratory, as well as a large-scale automotive application technology R&D cluster integrating measurement center and data acquisition center!
In addition, Zhengxin has reached in-depth cooperative relationships with seven universities including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Harbin Institute of Technology. Once the cluster is completed, it can be incorporated into the scientific research teams of these universities.
Before the industry could digest this big news, the Tiancheng City Government also held a press conference.
As the mayor of Tiancheng City, Cheng Gang personally attended the press conference.
At the meeting, he announced that Tiancheng City will invest a total of 2 billion yuan to prepare for the construction of an automobile industry park. The first phase of the project is ready for launch, and 500 million will be spent to build the park's infrastructure. The first phase of the project will be completed within four months. If progress goes well, the entire project will be completed within two years.
By then, Tiancheng will have a high-tech industrial park covering an area of more than 100 square kilometers and covering multiple automobile manufacturing links. With this move, Tiancheng strives to create a new capital of China's automobile industry!
As the planner and implementer of the project, Cheng Gang, on behalf of Tiancheng, invited domestic enterprises in the automotive field and looked forward to negotiations with entrepreneurs in the industry.
When faced with a reporter's question about whether any companies have confirmed their occupancy, Cheng Gang answered without hesitation that not yet.
But what is now confirmed is that the research center being prepared by Zhengxin will be located in the industrial park.
This news has caused various speculations among reporters.
Who doesn’t know that Zhengxin is such a capable automobile company in Tiancheng? Now Zhengxin has placed its upgraded R&D cluster in the park. The rumors that Tiancheng will strongly support Zhengxin and use Zhengxin as the core to attract investment in the park should be true.
Less than an hour after the press conference here ended, another big news came out from the China Automobile Industry Association.
Comrade Li Fanyu, the nemesis of the president and the maker of the president’s curse, is about to take up the post of acting president of the association!
At the association office in Nanhe, Li Fanyu officially announced his inauguration.
On the first day of taking office, the members of the association were given a huge benefit-the investment quota of Tiancheng Automobile Industrial Park, as well as various preferential policies!
This set of actions jointly performed by Li Fanyu and Cheng Gang was like a beautiful three-hit combo, which quickly promoted the plan of Tiancheng Industrial Park and Zhengxin to carry out industrial ecological layout.
For a time, companies that saw business opportunities flocked to Tiancheng. Even before the project started, Cheng Gang had received more than ten occupancy intentions.
They are all auto parts manufacturers! The meaning is obvious. It’s not for any other reason than to come here for the sake of righteous faith.
When Cheng Gang took out these letters of intent and held another municipal work seminar, Wang Pengju, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, who had always had a negative attitude towards the industrial park project, finally stopped saying anything.
What else could he say?
The total investment of these 16 companies in Cheng Gang's hands is expected to reach 2 billion, which will directly and indirectly create employment for 5,000 people! In this first wave alone, 45% of this year’s investment promotion tasks have been completed!
To sing the opposite tune at this time is to make yourself unhappy.
As a result, with almost unanimous approval by the city's leadership team, the specific implementation plan of the project was quickly formulated.
Cheng Gang even announced that the park project will be listed as an important work content of Tiancheng this year, and it will be completed without compromise based on the principle of implementing it as soon as possible and focusing on supervision.
……
After wandering around Nanhe City and accepting banquets and congratulations from the leaders of the association, Li Fanyu returned to Tiancheng.
As soon as he arrived home, he received a call from Xue Yaoguo.
Xue Yaoguo was quite surprised when he heard that this guy had become the president of the association. In his impression, Li Fanyu is the kind of person who can't afford to be early without any benefit. He privately thought that the position of president of the Automobile Association was of little use to Li Fanyu. At first, he was a little confused.
But after seeing several big news that followed, he suddenly realized,
Let’s just say, how could that kid do something that’s not beneficial!
Li Fanyu received his call and thought it was Xue Yaoguo congratulating him on taking office. Unexpectedly, he brought a piece of news that was more valuable than congratulations - the project evaluation of the Shengshi C-class has been completed. According to internal information, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will purchase a large number of A6s as government cars. It has basically been decided!
Although he only informed Li Fanyu, Li Fanyu knew that he must have contributed here. This is a favor, and you will have to pay it back later.
After returning to the company, Li Fanyu immediately called An Ning and Wang Meimei to the office to get a preliminary understanding of the company's recent financial status.
No way, the investment in upgrading the laboratory is not a small amount of money. It had been agreed with Cheng Gang that Zhengxin would start upgrading the project at the same time as the industrial park project was launched. Don’t worry about the venue. As a sign of the industrial park, the city will take care of it.
But the investment in equipment for those twelve laboratories alone, according to An Ning's preliminary calculations, is as high as more than 500 million.
This does not include the construction costs of various functional buildings.
After all, Li Fanyu estimated that it would only cost seven to eight billion. Even with the help of the city, Li Fanyu felt that this step was a bit big. What he thought at the beginning was indeed right. The idea of establishing an industrial ecosystem was really difficult with his current strength.
But I have no choice but to finally catch such a good opportunity in the industrial park. If I don't seize it, my ideas will always be just ideas.
Taking the first step now is a beginning. In future difficulties, we will have to resort to tricks and make money when we are short of money.
After Wang Meimei placed a dozen reports in front of Li Fanyu, she stood aside.
In fact, Li Fanyu reads these statements almost every week. He has a general understanding of Zhengxin's current assets and income and expenditure.
But in the future, there will definitely be a lot of money to spend, and he has to be cautious and cautious to sort out his family fortune.
Of the three current models, X-power is basically close to saturation. In addition to sporadic orders in foreign markets, it is basically slow-selling.
A4 is Zhengxin’s current flagship product. It has passed the golden sales period during the Spring Festival, with sales exceeding 50,000 units and operating profit reaching 150 million. (Note)
The sales of A6 are taking off. Although the sales volume is not large, it has maintained high profits due to good cost control. However, because it has only been on the market for a short period of time, the current total sales volume is just over 5,000 vehicles, and the operating profit is around 40 million.
Fortunately, Xue Yaoguo just revealed that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission is about to uniformly replace government vehicles, which is a big order. The specific price and purchase quantity were confidential, so he did not disclose them. But according to Li Fanyu's speculation, the number should not be less than 3,000, which could earn him more than 10 million. Coupled with the family savings saved previously, I could barely scrape together 400 million.
That's it, the current family's combined wealth is far from enough to upgrade the laboratory.
It seems that we can only spend some money to lay the foundation first. Then... quickly find a way to make money!
Li Fanyu feels quite satisfied when he sees these reports. But thinking about the huge expenses that are coming, and looking at those numbers...
He could only sigh; when the money comes to be used, it will be regrettable to have less money!
After swallowing speechlessly for a while, he told Wang Meimei, "Gather the R&D department, the operations department and Audi's marketing department together... It seems that we have to withdraw from new products to make money..." (To be continued.)
