Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1860 Home
"Mr. Duan, I really didn't expect that in just two months, we could sell 5000 cars, revitalizing our auto industry in no time. The leader even called me the day before yesterday to congratulate me personally. , I think our automobile industry is doing well, and the city’s industrial economy will be developed around automobiles in the future, and we will strive to build Shenyang into the largest automobile city in China!" In the car, Mayor Wu Disheng said to Duan Yun with difficulty concealing his excitement .

In fact, compared to Duan Yun, Wu Disheng also attaches great importance to the Volvo project. In the past few years, the pressure on him has been too great. The economic development speed of Changchun, Harbin and Dalian, which is also the four largest cities in Northeast China, has exceeded Shenyang, especially Changchun, since the establishment of FAW-Volkswagen in cooperation with German Volkswagen, the Audi 100 produced has become the first choice for government procurement of buses in many northern cities, which has greatly promoted the local economy and development. twice the size of the city, so as the mayor, Wu Disheng is still under a lot of pressure.

In the 80s, Wu Disheng was already a well-known reformer throughout the country. He was also one of the first local leaders who introduced the contract system to state-owned enterprises. Under the leadership of Wu Disheng in those years, Shenyang’s economy did develop rapidly. It firmly occupies the position of the largest city in the three northeastern provinces.

However, since the 90s, his reform system seems to be somewhat ineffective. Several local backbone enterprises contracted out before have suffered successive losses due to various factors, and judging from the general environment of the three eastern provinces in the past two years, It is also very pessimistic. At least 1/3 of local state-owned enterprises in Shenyang have already suffered serious losses. In addition, many enterprises are barely sustaining. If there is no continuous bleeding of local finances, they must have gone bankrupt on a large scale.

Even if there are various factors, Shenyang's current economic development is slowing down, but as mayor, even if Wu Disheng has various objective reasons, he cannot accept the fact that the industry and economy are being overtaken by other Northeast cities.

Another point is that the employment problem in Shenyang has already appeared. When Shenyang’s economy was good in the 80s, the demand for employment in major enterprises was very strong. Many young people graduated from high school or technical school and could directly enter the factory without having to think about finding a job. But nowadays, major factories, including several local pillar enterprises in Shenyang, are also operating in a bleak manner, and the demand for labor is no longer so strong. This has also led to more and more unemployed youths in the society, which in turn affects the local public security in Shenyang. It brought a lot of problems.

So this time Wu Disheng took the initiative to pick up Duan Yun, the main purpose was to discuss with Duan Yun how to increase local jobs through this car project.

"Judging from the current situation, the situation of Jinbei Automobile is still very good. It has just successfully listed in Hong Kong, raised several billion yuan, and completely solved the problem of funding for development. In addition, the current sales have also improved. These are inseparable from Your support and help, Mayor Wu." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and continued: "But now we must not relax in the slightest, especially in terms of production management and product quality, we must not make any major mistakes, okay It may take many years and a lot of money to build a reputation, but sometimes it only takes one or two things to destroy it..."

Duan Yun has been in business for many years, and has always maintained a sense of vigilance in times of crisis. He is definitely not as optimistic as Wu Disheng. In his opinion, it is too early to think that the Volvo project has been successful. Sales volume cannot hide everything. There are many problems to be solved.

"You are right. Comrade Zhao Xiyou is still very capable of management and is very responsible. I went to see the production line of the Jinbei Automobile Factory last week. Now the factory is running at full capacity. During this time, Lao Zhao I only slept for less than 5 hours, and people have already started to lose weight. With him in charge, you should be at ease." Wu Disheng paused, and then said: "I also heard that your 4S stores have begun to bloom all over the country. Yes, I didn’t know much about these things before, and after consulting some experts, I found out that this model is really good. Sales and after-sales are put together, and there is no need to worry about buying a car. It’s just that our Shenyang is a production base. But there is no 4S shop here..."

"I've also considered this issue. In fact, the main reason is that there is no membership application for us here. The owners who opened 4S stores across the country before are all members of our Tianyin Group Chamber of Commerce. At present, we have not opened applications for other people." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "You don't have to worry about this. The first batch of 1S stores that have just opened are still quite profitable. As long as they are profitable, I believe there will be more and more people. Applying to open a Volvo 4S store, I will also relax the restrictions on the application of local businessmen in Shenyang, and it is estimated that by the end of the year at the earliest, there should be the first batch of Shenyang Volvo 4S stores.”

"That would be great." Wu Disheng said with a smile.

"Shenyang is the base of our Volvo project. No matter from which aspect, the sales of cars from other places cannot be allowed to gain the upper hand here. Therefore, if locals are willing to buy a car, it must be the lowest price in the country, or even the direct cost price. Regarding the specific I will make it out as soon as possible.” Duan Yun said.

Just like in later generations, Shanghai people like Volkswagen cars, and Guangzhou people like Guangben cars. At least in Shenyang, Volvo cars must be the first choice for local people to buy cars. of preferential margin.

"By the way, Manager Duan, the sales of automobiles are improving now, and the orders are also increasing. In addition to the Jinbei Automobile General Factory, your supporting enterprises in Shenyang must also need a large number of workers, especially young workers. I think so. , Young people don’t need to pay them too much wages, so we can recruit more temporary workers, as long as they have work to do..." Wu Disheng said with a slight frown.

"There are too many orders. Our subsidiaries in Shenyang will definitely recruit workers according to the actual needs of the company, and are willing to give more young people a chance to learn technology. Don't worry about that." Duan Yun immediately understood Wu Disheng's intention. I just heard him continue to say: "In addition, I plan to invest in a large-scale electronics factory in the second half of this year, mainly producing VCDs and electronic components for automobiles. This is a labor-intensive industry, and at least it will be able to be used by local Provide another 5000 jobs, most of which are female workers, and I hope Mayor Wu can give you some policy support.”
