After lunch, Zhang Hao was not busy with work, but returned to the bedroom to rest with his wife.
The two of them leaned on the bed and watched a movie.
Zhang Hao was a little dishonest, which made Yang Huaqing angry from time to time.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Zhang Hao picked up his cell phone and took a look. It turned out to be Mayor Zhou from Shencheng. He didn't want to answer the call, but he was afraid of offending the other party.
"Whose call is it? Why didn't you answer it?"
"This is a call from the mayor of Shenzhen City. You can continue watching the movie. I'll be out for a while."
Zhang Hao sighed.
Finally, I walked out of the bedroom with my mobile phone.
"Director Zhang, happy wedding!" Zhou Gengnian first sent his blessing, "I should have made this call yesterday, but I was afraid of disturbing your wedding, so I thought about it and didn't make it."
"Leader, BYD's matter has been settled. It doesn't matter whether you call or not. There is really no need to waste time."
Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel strange.
"If I heard correctly, Director Zhang is angry?"
Zhou Gengnian was not surprised at all.
In any case, they did not handle this matter honestly, and it is normal for the other party to be resentful.
"No, I just worked hard for such a long time and ended up with nothing in the end. I feel a little unhappy. Leader, please don't think too much about it."
"Haha, Director Zhang, I want to say sorry to you. There is nothing I can do about BYD. They did not officially notify the city until half an hour before the signing, and by the time I knew it, it was already too late."
Zhou Gengnian tried to explain.
In fact, the real situation is that he knew about it several days in advance. However, this matter was not harmful to the city, and several companies were well established, so it was not easy for him to object, so he finally adopted an attitude of acquiescence.
"Leader, you don't need to explain. I can understand. After all, BYD is a private company and the city can't control it." Zhang Hao said politely, and then changed the topic: "However, I have a small suggestion here. I hope the leader can help.
I'll convey this to Mr. Wang."
"Oh? What's the suggestion?"
"It's also my fault for not thinking carefully about this. Before acquiring BYD, I promised Mayor Yang of my hometown to build a branch base there, and it's already under construction.
Now that the acquisition has failed, there is no way to discuss the branch base. I hope that you, the leader, can help me persuade Mr. Wang to take over this project so that I will not break my trust."
Zhang Hao took the opportunity to say the "quid pro quo".
"Well...Mr. Zhang, you overestimate me. How can I have this ability? Mr. Wang and the others are determined people. You can't convince them with just one or two words."
Zhou Gengnian declined politely.
As the parent official of Shenzhen City, he certainly doesn’t want BYD to build any bullshit sub-base. It’s best to keep all production capacity in their Shenzhen City and not go anywhere to create more jobs.
Zhang Hao pretended to sigh: "If it doesn't work, then we can only try our best. After all, the stocks in Mr. Wang's hands are limited. If we work hard, there is no chance of getting a controlling stake."
Faced with the threat, Zhou Gengnian didn't hesitate at all and immediately compromised: "Director Zhang, don't be impulsive. Doing so will only hurt both sides. I will help you to persuade Mr. Wang. As for the specific situation, we should wait for the reply from there. First,
Don't jump to conclusions."
"Then it's troublesome for the leader!"
Zhang Hao quickly expressed his gratitude.
As long as the city is willing to help, this matter will definitely be resolved and there will be no more accidents.
"It's okay. I sincerely hope that both of you can value peace. In the current national crisis, all parties must unite and don't act out of emotion."
"That's what you said, leader." Zhang Hao echoed.
Zhou Gengnian breathed a sigh of relief, and then took the initiative to change the topic: "Director Zhang, in addition to BYD, there are actually many high-quality companies in Shenzhen. It never hurts to refer to a few more, so don't rush to make a choice!"
He has already heard about the "Minde Era".
"Ahem, leader, the news in the city is really well-informed. I just made the decision yesterday. I didn't expect you to know about it today."
I don’t know who leaked this.
Overall, Lao Xing has the highest probability.
The other party just transferred the money this morning.
Zhou Gengnian said earnestly: "Director Zhang, let's not lie. I just have a question now. Can you give us Shencheng another chance?"
"Leader, it's not that I don't want to, but I really have no choice. To tell you the truth, the Minde era was originally our preparatory plan. We only invest in automobile-related industries and will not consider others for the time being."
Zhang Hao said without hesitation.
Repaying evil with kindness? He is not that big-hearted yet.
"What about the motor? Should you consider it?"
Zhou Gengnian doesn’t want to give up easily.
Shenzhen is known as the "Silicon Valley of the East" and is also a traditional manufacturing base. The most indispensable thing is various factories, and you can basically find them in most categories.
"Sorry, motor production is too scattered. There is no absolute leader. It is too troublesome to integrate. It is not our first choice."
"No chance at all?"
"Leader, I can only promise you this. If the acquisition of Minde Times fails, I will reconsider the company here in Shencheng. Please understand our difficulties." Zhang Hao said seriously and perfunctorily.

Zhou Gengnian saw that he could not go against the law, so he could only give up the idea temporarily, and finally sent his blessing.
"Well, it seems that we in Shencheng are not so lucky. I wish you a successful acquisition."
"Thank you!"
……
That night, Zhang Hao received a call from Wang Chuanxi, who agreed to take over the Laoshan sub-base and hoped that the two parties could become cooperative partners.
"Oh, I wonder how Mr. Wang wants to cooperate?"
"We at BYD can spin off the battery department and sell it directly to you. I wonder if Zhang Donggan is not interested?"
Wang Chuanxi tentatively said.
"If you are interested, please bid!"
It is undeniable that Zhang Hao is moved.
BYD itself started with batteries, and its battery technology is very strong, comparable to that of the Minde era.
"The battery business is half of BYD's business. Including Faraday's technology, the total price is 150 billion. Isn't it excessive?"
"Uh, are there any other conditions?"
"Of course, as long as Director Zhang agrees to our two conditions, it's very simple."
"What two conditions?"
"First, all batteries can only be supplied to BYD and cannot be sold to other car companies; second, you cannot engage in vehicle manufacturing."
"I'm sorry, I still hope to reach a cooperation, but these two conditions are too harsh, and I can't agree."
Zhang Hao refused without any hesitation.
Just the first one is tantamount to being controlled by others and being manipulated by others. No matter how well it develops, it is just a vassal of BYD. As long as the other party deliberately reduces or cuts off purchases, there is only a dead end waiting for them.
Of course, there is no solution.
For example: Seeking official procurement.
No matter how big BYD's restrictions are, they can't be bigger than the official ones.
Wang Chuanxi was a little disappointed: "Don't refuse, Director Zhang, why don't you think about it again?"
If you sell the battery department to the other party, you will not only get a large amount of funds, but also reduce a strong competitor. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"No need, I have made up my mind and will not change it again." Zhang Hao said solemnly.
He thinks it's expensive, but he's also afraid of trouble.
