20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3764 Big Mouth Mills
Seeing this encouraging scene, Gu Dacong simply sold the heavy vehicle branch and tricycle branch of Luoyi Tractor Factory to Yinan Luoyi Vehicle Factory through investment and shareholding, and carried out technical transformation on the two factories that had already stopped production.

With YTO's strong technical capabilities, the production line transformation will be completed by the end of this month, and production will officially begin.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, many departments that were originally shut down or partially shut down resumed production to provide parts support to the vehicle factory.

This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many light truck manufacturers in China, who have all conducted research and visited Luoyi in preparation for entering this market.

In reality, the Yinan Luoyi Vehicle Plant had nearly two years of preliminary infrastructure work by Kou Yingxian, and the third phase plant utilized the light truck plant that YTO had transformed in previous years. Most importantly, it rose rapidly by standing on the shoulders of YTO.

Moreover, it was originally an important heavy industrial city in the old third-tier cities of China, and Wanyang provided a large number of vehicle parts needed.

That's why the DIY assembly was completed so quickly.

These domestic factories that came to visit and decided to start operations were not high-efficiency or high-motivation enterprises. It would be at least a year before they completed their factory construction.

Even if the vehicles went into production, without sufficient brand recognition, opening up sales channels would not be an easy task. Moreover, at that time, there were many similar vehicles on the market in China. Just thinking about it made Zhao Chang'an feel the pinch.

However, if Zhao Chang'an decides to build a second factory in Jiangcheng, then even if it goes into production more than a year later, there won't be much of a problem with sales, because the brand effect is there.

Moreover, Luoyi Vehicle Factory adopts a low-profit competitive strategy. In recent years, there has been an oversupply of steel in China. In addition, the city has provided tax breaks and exemptions for vehicle factories. With the dual support of low prices and brand effect, the factory will be doing very well for at least the next five or six years, even if it does not transform.

Shen Chunlin never expected that Zhao Chang'an would build a second vehicle factory in Jiangcheng. Now, Luoyi Vehicle Factory is a treasure in Luoyi's eyes. This enterprise alone has freed the previously struggling First Tractor from its constraints and has also driven a large number of related upstream industries.

These past few days, he has been paying close attention to news about OneNano in China. He just saw that OneNano's Vice President Wen Ye has arrived at Luanchuan Molybdenum. If nothing unexpected happens, news reports about the cooperation will soon be released.

Including the previous blunder involving Chundu Foods, although Zhengzhou has denied any intention to acquire the listed company, the company's stock price has already doubled since the beginning of the year, following the previous frenzy of four consecutive limit-up days.

Regardless of whether this is a misunderstanding or not, it is clear that everyone has seen that OneNano is engaging in comprehensive and broader economic cooperation with Luoyi.

Under these circumstances, Zhao Chang'an would not build the Second Vehicle Factory in any city other than Luoyi, even if he were to do so.

As for allowing Ericsson and Siemens to hold more shares, this does not align with Jiangcheng's wishes. They still hope that a domestic company will hold a controlling stake in the wafer fab, so that this world-class 12-inch wafer fab can belong to China. Moreover, this would also help boost people's confidence and pride in terms of publicity.

Actually, there is another way, which is to bring in one or more domestic companies to take a stake, but since Zhao Chang'an didn't mention it, it's definitely not being considered.

"I'm just a school principal,"

Shen Chunlin suddenly realized that he was worrying about this, and even if he did worry about it, he had no ability to solve it. Zhao Chang'an was just using him as a mouthpiece.

Having figured this out, Shen Chunlin suddenly found it easy and said with a smile, "I will also pass this on to Boss Ji."

"I need to apply to the schools."

"It's no trouble at all. Although I find it a little difficult to say what you're asking, it's for the sake of the country's economic and technological development, so there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Shen Chunlin's words made Zhao Chang'an nod. That was exactly what he meant. Domestic economic development currently requires a large amount of foreign investment. While it's supposed to be mutually beneficial, it's practically necessary to maintain a somewhat humble attitude until the foreign investment actually comes in. Like with the current one-nanometer issue, Jiangcheng should have to swallow its pride and tolerate some unreasonable demands, even if it's unpleasant to some.

Once the wafer fab is built, although it will still be a win-win situation, the reality is that the investors, under the leadership of Jiangcheng, will more or less become more sensible and won't be able to act like the big shots they were when they first came to invest with funds and technology.

-

After visiting the OneNano Jiangcheng Semiconductor R&D Center, Ji Chengyong suggested that instead of returning to the original provincial-level comprehensive office hall, they should rest nearby and then hold a discussion at 3 p.m.

This decision is naturally a good thing for OneNano, Ericsson, and the Siemens team, saving them from having to travel back and forth.

So everyone ate lunch at the R&D center's staff canteen. Zhao Chang'an hadn't eaten lunch at the R&D center for over a year. When he arrived at the canteen, he saw that the dishes were still plentiful and tempting, making his mouth water.

These dishes, including steamed buns, porridge, and noodles, are all prepared in the style of home cooking, unlike the dishes in hotels, which look exquisite, high-end, and expensive, but Zhao Chang'an was already tired of them.

Ji Chengyong also praised these home-style dishes, believing that the first thing a company should do is to treat its employees well, and only under this premise can one talk about corporate spirit.

Meanwhile, reporters from Jiangcheng, Hubei Province, and CCTV's Jiangcheng branch all captured these moments clearly with their cameras.

"Mr. Mills, is the food here to your liking?"

These reporters were not idle either. After obtaining individual consent, they took the opportunity to interview Mills, De Viner, Raimondi, and others.

“Very good. When the 12-inch wafer fab is being built, I will participate as Siemens’ representative throughout the entire process, barring any unforeseen circumstances. I hope that the wafer fab’s canteen will also provide such delicious meals at that time.”

Mills used the word 'twelve' instead of 'eight' for 8 inches. The reporters understood the difference in the simple letter, and after a moment of surprise, they immediately asked in slightly hurried English, "Mr. Mills, is it a 12-inch wafer fab?"

"Yes, it's a 12-inch fab."

Mills reiterated this.

"Hoo~"

The employees at the research and development center sitting near Mills were in an uproar, staring at him in shock, then whispering excitedly among themselves.

Reporters who heard this gathered around, even those who weren't conducting interviews, while those who were interviewing asked questions about the topic.

"I have no comment on that at the moment."

DeWeiner gave a diplomatic answer to the reporter's question, glanced up at Mills, and cursed inwardly, "That idiot. I really don't know what Siemens was thinking, sending this moron to negotiate."

Sitting across from Ji Chengyong, Zhao Chang'an also looked helpless. Ji Chengyong hadn't expected Mills to bring this up in public. If it were one of his subordinates, he would definitely be unhappy that the man had such a loose tongue. However, since the other party was an international friend and a guest who had come to discuss cooperation, he could only smile and let it go.
