Reborn since 1993

Chapter 831 Symphony of Destiny

But the world has changed now. From Yanjing to other places, the focus is on economic development. If you do not have the experience of governing a local area, your career record will probably become "thin" if you want to move up.

The positions of leaders in Yanjing, Shanghai, Pengcheng, Yangcheng and other places are all filled with vacancies, and the competition is much more intense.

In comparison, Pingyang, as a dark horse city that has emerged in China in recent years, has risen from an unknown city to one of the top 100 cities in the country's economic rankings. In the first half of this year, it was even ranked in the top 50. It is definitely a dark horse city.

Moreover, as a new city, Pingyang has not yet become a domestic focal city, expectations are not that high, and it is easier to achieve results, so the pressure is not that great.

Yao Zhengru revealed the origin of Pingyang's new leader to Li Dongling, or rather, the new leader of Pingyang took the initiative to reveal the news to the local faction in Pingyang, as well as to the pillar industry companies of Pingyang and even Hanxi such as Dongling Hi-Tech, so that people would know his origins and it would be easier to deal with him in the future.

Li Dongling was silent for a moment after hearing what Yao Zhengru said, then he shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that life won't be so easy for this new leader!"

Otherwise, it is fate and luck. If it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, you cannot force it.

Right now, the economies of Southeast Asia and even the entire Asia have suffered a Waterloo, and even Eastern Europe and Old Europe are becoming turbulent.

Dongling Hi-Tech, which supports half of Pingyang's economy, has also seen a significant drop in foreign trade orders. In addition, Li Dongling is planning to change Dongling Hi-Tech's track and sell off a number of industries.

Dongling Hi-Tech will also be experiencing some turmoil in the future. It takes time to launch new projects. At least within a year and a half, before the new projects produce results, Dongling Hi-Tech’s foreign trade orders can probably no longer be counted on.

Correspondingly, the taxes that Dongling Hi-Tech pays to Pingyang, as well as the entire Pingyang economy, are likely to face a low period.

When the new leader comes up, he will probably be faced with a "mess", which will be enough to make him suffer a lot. This is not targeted at him, but he just happened to be in it. What can he do?
When Yao Zhengru heard what Li Dongling said, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Now the whole country is affected by Southeast Asia.

The same is true for Quancheng, where he is about to take office. However, after all, the fluctuations will not be as big as the roller coaster of Pingyang. It is no exaggeration to say that Pingyang has reached the lowest point in recent years!

"Dongling Hi-Tech should communicate more with the new leader of Pingyang!"

Yao Zhengru raised his head, looked at Li Dongling and said, Pingyang is the base of Dongling Hi-Tech. Even if it can be relocated, other places, including the provincial capital of Hanxi, will not support Dongling Hi-Tech to the same extent as Pingyang.

No matter whether it is Yao Zhengru or someone else who serves as the head of Pingyang, they all give absolute support to Dongling Hi-Tech. They will give everything they can, and even if they cannot give, they will find ways to give it.

I still say that as long as Pingyang Municipal Government has it, even if it is the Pingyang Municipal Government Building, Pingyang is willing to give it. If you want any piece of land in Pingyang, Dongling Hi-Tech will ask for it on the first day, and Pingyang can flatten the land overnight and deliver it to Dongling Hi-Tech on the second day!

If it were other places, they might also give Dongling Hi-Tech enough support, but it would definitely be difficult for a whole city to fully support Dongling Hi-Tech.

Other companies that moved their headquarters away from their original locations have all been wronged, but this does not apply to Dongling Hi-Tech.

Even if the headquarters is moved, Dongling Hi-Tech will probably still suffer some turmoil in the future.

Therefore, Yao Zhengru did not want the relationship between Dongling Hi-Tech and the new leader of Pingyang to become too stalemate. It would be a lose-lose situation and would not be beneficial to either side.

“Dongling Hi-Tech naturally has no objection to the new leader of Pingyang, but there are some things that need time to resolve!

Tanglin Hi-Tech may make some adjustments starting from the second half of this year, which may have an impact on Pingyang!"

Li Dongling spoke the truth and said that selling the Xiaolingtong mobile phone business would have a huge impact not only on Pingyang, but also on the entire domestic mobile phone industry.

However, no matter how many people are dissatisfied with these things, Dongling Hi-Tech has to do them. If it doesn't stop, it will suffer the consequences!
If we don't adjust our business now, the losses we suffer when the time comes may be even greater, and we may even miss the opportunity and never be able to recover.

Yao Zhengru was about to leave, and Li Dongling didn't want to bother him because of these things, so he skipped the subject and spoke to Yao Zhengru.

"Dongling Hi-Tech is preparing to set up an automotive project department!"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Zhengru immediately perked up. Li Dongling's intention to enter the automotive industry was basically known to everyone, after all, he had been shouting about it for several years. But it had been a lot of noise but little action. Now that Li Dongling mentioned it, Yao Zhengru couldn't help but ask, "Is Dongling Hi-Tech going to enter the automotive industry?"

Men have a natural craze for cars and guns. This craze has continued for more than a thousand years. In ancient times, it was swords and BMWs, and now it has become guns and cars.

In recent years, many domestic companies have begun to enter the automotive industry. In addition to companies like Chunlan, many state-owned enterprises and private companies have also obtained automobile licenses.

A large number of automobile brands, including Chery, SAIC-GM, BYD, Foton, Leapmotor, Lifan Auto, Haima, Feidie, and Southeast Auto, were established in recent years.

This is because, starting three years ago, the country relaxed its controls on the automobile industry and allowed overseas automobile companies to invest in the country and establish joint ventures. Previously, domestic automobiles were mostly imported and sold domestically through agents.

For example, SAIC-GM was jointly established by SAIC and General Motors of America. SAIC owns 50.1% of the shares and GM holds 49.9%. At the same time, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Ford, and Nissan of Nippon Mercedes-Benz have also entered the country to establish joint ventures in recent years.

This also marks that the domestic automobile industry has entered an era of exchanging market for technology, and is also the arrival of the peak of the era of trade, industry and technology advocated by Boss Lian Xiangliu.

As for what technologies the decades of automobile joint ventures have brought to the domestic automobile industry, you can only know by asking those automobile brands.

It is certainly profitable to be able to get these foreign car brands to rush into the domestic market. How can we expect anyone to do a loss-making business?

These overseas automobile brands naturally value the domestic automobile production costs and the huge automobile market, and want to get a piece of the pie in advance.

In the following decades, nearly half of the car sales of many famous overseas automobile brands were sold domestically, giving rise to several world-class automobile giants.

What's more, some overseas car brands rely on the domestic car market to survive. Once they can't sell in the domestic market, their performance will immediately start to decline.

Not only are overseas automobile brands pouring into the country, but in addition to state-owned factories entering the automobile industry, many private companies are also trying to test the waters in the industry.

In the future, there will even be a strange phenomenon: state-owned automobile brands, because they have established joint ventures with overseas automobile brands, can basically make money without doing anything by relying on overseas brands and engines, gearboxes and other technologies supplied by overseas manufacturers, so they are not so concerned about technological research and development.

On the contrary, private car brands such as BYD and Geely, because they have no overseas brands to back them up, can only roll up technology or acquire overseas manufacturers, and instead take up the banner of localization of automobiles...

"Yes and no!"

Li Dongling looked at Yao Zhengru and said, "Dongling Hi-Tech is going to enter the automotive industry and apply for a car production license!"

It is not that difficult to apply for a car production license now. Although it is not easy, it needs to be approved by the Economic and Trade Commission, Development and Reform Commission, Machinery Industry and other departments, but it can still be approved. Unlike later generations, the number of car production licenses has been fixed.

If you want to enter this industry again, you can only buy a license, but it is not as simple as just buying a license. The other party cannot sell the license alone, but sells the entire production plant, production line, and land together. If you want to buy a license, you can't get it without tens or hundreds of billions.

But now, the cost is not that high, especially for Dongling Hi-Tech. Applying for a car production license is not a difficult task now, it is just a matter of time.

“However, before designing and producing the first car, Tanglin Hi-Tech needs to make some other preparations.

Also, some other products need to be launched to raise funds for the automotive department!"

Li Dongling said that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. It is an indisputable fact that the domestic automobile technology level lags behind that of overseas.

Dongling Hi-Tech does not expect that it will be able to compete with auto giants such as Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, and General Motors by launching its first car. That is unrealistic.

However, the cars launched by Dongling Hi-Tech also need to have their own characteristics and features. If they just copy and imitate blindly and follow behind Toyota and others, they will never be able to catch up with them.

"However, I plan to produce the first product of this automotive department in Quancheng!"

Li Dongling said that he didn’t know when Dongling Hi-Tech would launch its first car, but he was planning to launch its first electric bicycle next year!
