After the meeting, Li Jianhui visited its Jade Lion Jaguar production base in Taipei and the production base of Donghua Automobile Company, a joint venture between Jade Lion and Nissan.
At present, both major bases have been put into production. As mid-range models, Jade Lion and Jaguar have relatively good sales in Baodao, Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia.
As for Donghua Automobile, a joint venture between Yushi and Nissan, the current main market is still in Baodao, and the Southeast Asian market has yet to be developed.
That evening, Li Jianhui held a separate meeting with Taoyuan County Magistrate Xu Hongzhi.
I don’t know if President Chiang deliberately suppressed members of the Pro-Donghua Association. During the election change at the end of last year, except for Gu Zhenfu and Lin Tingsheng, who continued to maintain their status in the party because they did not work in the government, other pro-Donghua Association members
Government personnel are either redeployed or idle, or they stay put.
For example, Xu Zhihong, during his first term, Taoyuan's economic growth rate and total economic volume ranked second among the Taiwan Islands, and Taipei's total economic growth rate and Hsinchu's growth rate were ahead of it.
But even with such achievements, Xu Zhihong was not able to go further and just continued to serve as Taoyuan County Magistrate.
Even worse than this one is Hsinchu County Magistrate Lin Baoren, who directly appointed a Baodao Provincial Committee member, saying he was promoted one level, but it was completely a sinecure.
"Mr. Xu, I would like to express my apologies for what happened to you. If it weren't for us, maybe you wouldn't be alienated by President Jiang and you wouldn't stay where you are."
Xu Hongzhi, who was in his prime, was not frustrated by this. He knew his situation very well. Without the support of Donghua Association, Taoyuan would not have developed so fast, and he would not have achieved such good political achievements.
Although he cannot aspire to high-level positions for the time being, his influence among the people is growing. Now he only needs to wait for an opportunity, and then he will surely be able to soar into the sky.
The most important thing here is to seize the Donghua Association. Some Donghua Associations support it. Not to mention staying still, even if it is transferred to an idle position, there will be a time to make a comeback.
President Chiang is currently able to make decisions with just one word, but his health has always been a problem. Once President Chiang falls, no one will be able to suppress all parties. That will be the time for him to show his abilities.
Regarding Li Jianhui's apology, Xu Zhihong naturally would not accept it with peace of mind. He said: "Mr. Li, this matter has nothing to do with the Donghua Society. The main reason is that President Jiang does not want this place to be controlled by consortiums like Japan, the United States, and Western Europe."
, so there is inevitably some bias in personnel appointment.
And I am personally very satisfied with my current position, which allows me to do more for the people of Taoyuan, so that Taoyuan can live up to its reputation as the island’s window to the outside world.
I also hope to continue to be a bridge between Xiangjiang enterprises and Taoyuan, allowing more Xiangjiang capital to invest in Taoyuan, and allowing Taoyuan and these enterprises to develop mutually beneficial and win-win results."
Li Jianhui didn't say anything more about Xu Zhihong's position. As long as President Chiang is still here, he can suppress everything on the island. Although the capital strength of the Donghua Society is quite good, it cannot cross the red line in President Chiang's heart.
.
As for investment, Li Jianhui also gave Xu Zhihong reassurance.
Li Jianhui did not come empty-handed this time. As a number of his companies have successively landed on the Hong Kong Exchange during this period, the Xinjian Department will also usher in a new round of expansion.
The first is Jaguar, which has acquired Leyland Motor Company, which manufactures trucks, buses, and special vehicles, making Jaguar Motor Group a comprehensive automobile group.
According to Li Jianhui's plan, the Asian production bases of Jaguar's Leyland Buses and Leyland Trucks will still be located in Taoyuan, and their products will mainly be sold in Greater China and Southeast Asia markets.
Especially in the Mainland, with the advancement of reform and opening up, the demand for trucks in the Mainland is quite large. How could Li Jianhui not get a share of the pie?
Xu Zhihong is also very happy about this investment. Once this production base is put into production, Taoyuan will completely secure its position as the largest automobile production base in Taiwan. Even in the entire Greater China and Southeast Asian markets, the Taoyuan automobile production base
It will also be ranked at the forefront, and Taoyuan can even become the Detroit of the East.
He said with some excitement: "Mr. Li, please rest assured that our government will definitely serve the various tasks of Holiland Automobile Company's investment in Taoyuan so that it can be put into production as soon as possible.
At the same time, I also hope that more of Mr. Li’s industries can come to Taoyuan and provide high-quality services to Taoyuan residents.
Especially in the past two years, the population of Taoyuan City has continued to increase, and our finances are limited. Supporting facilities such as education, medical care, gas, and tap water have been unable to meet the needs of residents. We urgently hope to improve them. We hope that responsible companies will
We can join these industries to improve the quality of life of Taoyuan residents."
Li Jianhui is quite clear about the situation in Taoyuan. In recent years, due to the opening of the airport, Jade Lion, Jaguar, and Donghua Automobile have successively established production bases, as well as the Yulon Toyota sedan production base jointly owned by Toyota and Yulon, and all
It has been put into operation, which has also caused the population of Taoyuan City to grow rapidly.
This means that many supporting facilities cannot keep up with the speed of development. Even some employees of the Xinjian Department in Taoyuan complained about frequent water and gas cuts.
However, Li Jianhui did not intend to let companies from Hong Kong come and participate. He responded loudly: "I also know something about this situation, but it is not very suitable to invest in Hong Kong companies in these industries.
After I go to Taipei this time, I will communicate with Mr. Ku, Mr. Lin and others to let CEFC Holdings, Datong Holdings, Formosa Plastics Holdings, Hsinchu Bank, etc. invest, which will also be conducive to the long-term development of these industries in the future."
Xu Zhihong naturally knew that it would be more appropriate for the Gu, Lin, and Wang families to invest in these, but when he discussed with the leaders of these companies before, they only said that their financial resources were tight and they were temporarily unable to enter new industries.
But with Li Jianhui's words today, Xu Zhihong believes that those people will not shirk anymore, and Hsinchu Bank and Xinjian Group are the largest shareholders. As long as Xinjian Bank is willing to invest, there will be no problem.
Moreover, Xu Zhihong knows that Dean Sun Yunxuan has been hoping that Baodao and even foreign capital will enter enterprises with low return rates but that can improve the living standards of Baodao residents in the past two years, so as to reduce the pressure on the government.
This time Taoyuan was able to come out on top, allowing him to gain huge prestige both within the party and among the people.
As a senior executive of Baodao, I actually hope that the manufacturing industry in Xiangjiang will come over, rather than a large number of real estate companies.
Whether it is President Jiang or Sun Yunxuan, they always feel scared when they think of the terrifying number of real estate companies in Xiangjiang. This is why they are wooing the Donghua Society while suppressing the Donghua Society.
They do not want Baodao's economy to be hijacked by real estate like the Xiangjiang economy, and they do not want Baodao's economy to be left with only a bunch of real estate companies in the end.
