"Leader, to be honest, the acquisition of BYD is not my idea alone, it is the unanimous consensus of everyone. If we forcibly stop it, I am afraid the effect will be limited, and it may even be counterproductive."
Zhou Jianneng tried to persuade him.
After all, businessmen are all driven by profit. Forcibly changing business rules will only be counterproductive.
When Yang Lianhai saw this, he shook his head:
"Mr. Zhou, you misunderstood. I didn't say I would stop your actions. Although the city has different opinions, I personally support your acquisition of BYD."
Zhou Jianneng thought about it secretly, and then carefully tested: "Boss, you don't want us to move the BYD factory back, do you? I can tell you clearly that this is impossible.
Even if we agree, Shencheng will oppose it with all their strength. Besides, the conditions in Shenzhen are much better than ours. Doing this will only hurt both sides."
"No, although I have this idea, I also know that it is unrealistic and almost impossible."
Yang Lianhai shook his head.
"What about your side?" Zhou Jianneng asked quickly.
Yang Lianhai smiled and answered simply:
"Mr. Zhou, what I mean is, can you also acquire the Automobile Industry New City?"
"A new city for the automobile industry?"
The Automobile Industry New City in Jimo District is the largest automobile production base in Laoshan City. Including Ssangyong Motors, it has an annual output of 500,000 to 600,000 vehicles.
"Yes, after you acquire BYD, you can set up a branch factory in Laoshan to supply the market in the entire northern region.
As for the original two branch factories in Yandu and Haocheng, one is too far north and the other is deep inland, so they are not suitable as production bases."
Obviously, Yang Lianhai has done his homework in advance.
This is his ultimate goal.
"Open a branch factory?" Zhou Jianneng pursed his lips and refuted on the spot: "Well... I can't make the decision alone. I need to discuss it with other people, especially Director Zhang. He is the one who can really make the decision."<
/p>
"No problem! Don't worry, this time, the city will send people to go south with you, and then personally visit Mr. Zhang and Director Zhang."
Yang Lianhai nodded and then reassured:
"Both father and son have always cared about the well-being of their hometown. They even donated a lot of money to the city last year. I hope they can understand the city's difficulties."
Zhou Jianneng couldn't refute these words, so he could only echo: "Leader, Lao Zhang and I have been brothers for decades. Based on my understanding of him, as long as the city opens his mouth, he will definitely have nothing to say." p>
As for the eldest nephew's choice, there is nothing he can do. To be honest, he can't see through the other party.
"Okay, I'd like to lend you some good words."
Yang Lianhai smiled and nodded.
……
On the way home, Zhou Jianneng randomly found a public phone booth and planned to talk to his eldest nephew. He also wanted to make the other party mentally prepared in advance.
"Uncle Zhou, how are you doing over there?"
"Everything goes well, and you're the one with the most respect. Everyone is very optimistic about this acquisition. The funds have been collected. We will set off early tomorrow morning. If nothing else happens, we will arrive in about three days."
"Okay, let me know when you arrive and I will pick you up."
"Xiao Hao, Uncle Zhou has something here... I want to tell you."
Zhang Hao asked curiously: "What's going on?"
"I just came out from Mayor Yang's place. The city already knows about our acquisition plan..."
"What do you mean? Do they want to object?"
"It's not that I object." Zhou Jianneng sighed, "I wonder if you have heard of the new automobile industry city in Jimo District?"
"I know this place, what's wrong?"
"Mayor Yang wants us to annex the Automobile Industry New City together and use it as BYD's branch factory in the north. What do you think?"
Zhang Hao scratched his head: "How much is the purchase price?"
It’s really hard to refuse this.
But having said that, BYD really needs a northern branch, and Laoshan happens to be a port city, so it is really the best choice.
"It doesn't cost a penny, it's free."
"So generous?"
Zhou Jianneng smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be that easy? The city has set a condition. In three years, the annual car output of the branch must be restored to half of its production capacity, which is 500,000 cars."
"Half a million? They really dare to think about it."
Zhang Hao shook his head subconsciously.
Today is different from the past. Due to the constraints of the general environment, the branch factory cannot achieve such a large production capacity, even if the main factory is added, it is impossible.
"Fifty thousand is just the price offered by the other party. If we talk seriously, we should be able to cut it in half."
Zhou Jianneng quickly comforted him.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand is too much. If it's one hundred thousand, I can agree to it."
"One hundred thousand? Isn't that a little small?"
Zhou Jianneng expressed doubts.
Different from fuel vehicles, electric vehicles have fewer parts and are relatively simple to produce. As long as the batteries, motors and chips can keep up, production capacity can be rapidly expanded.
Zhang Hao explained helplessly: "Uncle Zhou, you are too optimistic. Now the entire federation is desperately building indoor plantations. The need for batteries and chips is endless. We simply cannot compete with them."
Without sufficient parts, everything is empty talk.
Taking a step back, even if there are sufficient parts and components, you cannot produce as much as you want. You need to accept the macro-control of higher-level departments.
In other words, the current economic system is more inclined to a planned economy, especially in important industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and all business activities must follow orders.
The automobile industry is very important and there can be no exceptions.
"That's not right. There is a shortage of cars everywhere right now. Cars are as important as plantations. It's impossible for the higher-ups to be indifferent, right?" Zhou Jianneng retorted.
"Uncle Zhou, you are only half right. What we need now are trucks, not passenger cars."
Zhang Hao corrected.
Zhou Jianneng was a little unimpressed: "Since there is a shortage of trucks, let's just produce trucks directly."
"It's not that easy. In the past, BYD mainly produced cars, and trucks were almost not involved. Transformation is not something that can be achieved by transformation. It will take time."
"Really? Then why not directly acquire a car company that produces trucks?"
Zhou Jianneng said doubtfully.
"Can't acquire it."
Zhang Hao smiled bitterly and then explained:
"First of all, there are only a few local car companies that produce trucks, and most of them have state-owned assets, so acquisitions are too difficult;
Secondly, as I said just now, trucks are in very short supply right now, and all those car companies are making a lot of money, so we have no chance to acquire them."
】
Zhou Jianneng was immediately disappointed: "Xiao Hao, according to your analysis, why do we have to acquire BYD? Can't we change the industry? If it doesn't work, we can directly enter the plantation. This is the most popular right now."
