Our Rise Era

Chapter 160 Gambler
"Hey, leader..."

The spring breeze blows across the distance.

Bringing up the noisy sounds of hustle and bustle outside the window.

The warm sunshine shines in the office.

Zhang Yang sat down opposite Song Guifang and started crying without saying a word.

At one point he even said a bunch of idioms like "besieged on all sides", "adding insult to injury", "precarious situation", "lingering on", and "at the critical moment".

After saying that, he even pretended to take a deep breath, but his eyes were red and tears were falling.

Song Guifang, who was sitting opposite, looked at Zhang Yang who was playing tricks like this, and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and finally shook her head.

"Mr. Zhang... Everything the government does takes a process. For example, applying for subsidies for these projects generally takes a long time and depends on various factors, including whether the application materials are complete, whether the amount applied for exceeds the limit, and the government budget. Under normal circumstances, the government needs to complete the approval process within one to three months..."

"Three months? Didn't you say half a month before?" Zhang Yang got anxious when he heard this: "Boss, three months will be too late. Boss, you know I'm poor. I've staked my entire fortune on this business. I'm going to go bankrupt soon. This won't work..."

"The review period is half a month. I checked it specifically for you. The review period has come. But this is not millions, not tens of millions, but hundreds of millions of funds..." Song Guifang felt a headache from Zhang Yang's noise and couldn't help rubbing her head.

"Leader, please think of a way and help me to urge it again. Leader, I promise that in the future, I will absolutely cooperate with all your work. If you tell me to go east, I will not dare to go west. If you tell me to go north, I will not dare to go south..." Zhang Yang was shocked and then quickly expressed his position.

The last second he was full of bitterness and hatred, looking desperate.

The next second, hey, this guy's face suddenly changed, revealing a shameless and serious expression. Damn, no matter how Song Guifang looked at him, she felt that the guy in front of her was a flatterer.

She sighed, "Okay, I'll help you push it... But recently, as you know, the shadow of the global financial crisis is still there, and all the relevant departments are working overtime to deal with the upcoming crisis. They will be quite busy. Please understand us..."

"I understand, I understand, leader. From now on, if you need my cooperation, I will go through fire and water to help you..."

"Don't be so exaggerated, and don't play the devil's advocate next time."

"How could that be, leader, don't worry."

"..."

There was a brief silence in the office.

Looking at Zhang Yang's appearance, Song Guifang was even more at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Then, in front of Zhang Yang, she called the relevant financial department and briefly inquired about the situation.

When he learned that the process was being expedited and that a subsidy would be paid out in installments, he nodded and looked at Zhang Yang: "Are you satisfied now?"

"Oh, boss, you're making me stay in the office, as if I were asking you to make the phone call for me... I didn't mean that, boss, I definitely didn't mean that..."

"Alright, alright, is there anything else?" Seeing Zhang Yang's hypocritical expression, Song Guifang couldn't help but want to kick him.

"Have!"

"what's up?"

"Leader, you also know that Japanese electric vehicles are coming on strong now. Our domestic electric vehicles are almost finished, right?" Zhang Yang coughed lightly, brought a large stack of information, and shamelessly moved his body towards Song Guifang: "Leader, you also know that I have always been a patriotic young man who cares about the country and the people and has positive energy..."

"I've put the information here because of my considerations... The market economy has its own set of rules, and we will strike the right balance... I hope Mr. Zhang, you can trust us..." Seeing that Zhang Yang was about to say something more and more outrageous, Song Guifang stopped talking and took a deep breath.

"Hey, leader, look at what you said, how can I not trust you?"

"Is there anything else?"

"besides……"

"What else?"

"Boss, please give me some subsidies for my electric car, and also for my mobile phone, refrigerator, washing machine..."

"Put the information here first, we will take a close look at it..." Song Guifang said with a frown: "Can we leave now?"

This guy, if he stays here any longer...

Song Guifang even suspected that he was going to give a dog food subsidy to his own dog.

This guy!

Can I have a face please?
"You can go now, you can go now!" Seeing Song Guifang trying to get rid of him, Zhang Yang coughed lightly and took a deep breath: "Leader..."

"If you have something to say, please tell me..."

"How about I take some of the tea leaves on the table? I think your tea leaves are getting brittle..."

"..."

Looking at the guy in front of me with eyes like a bald man, he looked around and finally stared at the box of tea on the table.

Song Guifang only felt that the blood in her body was flowing backwards, and her blood pressure was about to explode upwards.

She suppressed the emotions that were about to explode and finally waved her hand.

"Oh, boss, you are so nice! Thank you! Hey, thanks!"

"..."

Watching Zhang Yang laughing as he walked out of the office.

Song Guifang took another deep breath.

Who the hell are these people?

Immediately afterwards...

He looked at the stack of documents on the ground.

After a long time, he sighed, then lowered his head and slowly looked at it.

After watching for a while...

Song Guifang nodded and made a decision in her heart.

Just as I was about to write these things into the proposal, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in……"

"Leader, cough, cough..."

"Mr. Zhang, do you have anything else to do?"

"Boss, I've thought about it carefully. I actually have a [Logistics] business. Can I get a subsidy for that [Logistics] business?"

"..."

..........................................

The spring breeze blows in March.

The grass grows and the orioles fly.

The distant horizon looks full of vitality.

however……

In the offices of relevant departments.

Everyone's expression was solemn.

During this period, everyone from office clerks and clerks to provincial and ministerial leaders worked overtime and held meetings almost every night, and many even slept in their offices, waiting for the next arrangement at any time.

Since the reform and opening up, and from the millennium to the present, China has gone through one hurdle after another.

Over the years, China has been frustrated, endured, and compromised in its external relations. It has even been ridiculed and disappointed.

But, all of this is done to gain that insignificant amount of time for development in the cracks.

needs time!
Correct!
Needs more and more time!

This global financial crisis is like a huge rock, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

If we are not careful, all the development efforts of the past few decades will become cannon fodder overnight.

March 1st.

evening.

Song Guifang walked into the joint meeting of the commerce departments.

This meeting was heavy.

Whether it is people who stand up and speak or people who make advocacy suggestions, they are all very cautious.

Everyone knows that this meeting will determine China's future economic trends, and more importantly, whether China can break free from this catastrophe as soon as possible.

The decision to bring home appliances to the countryside was made in the middle of last month.

Two things were finalized at this meeting.

The first decision was to finalize issues such as the cooperative brand for the "home appliances going to the countryside" project.

The second resolution was to finalize the pilot project of [home appliances going to the countryside].

……

After voting on these two resolutions, a formal government announcement will be issued to announce the launch date of the "Home Appliances to the Countryside" project.

"First, it's a matter of major appliances!"

"The current categories of major home appliances include televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners and other major brands that participate in the home appliance subsidy policy."

"Each member proposes a brand and a list, and we will vote together to finalize the list!"

"..."

Voting will begin soon.

Song Guifang looked at the brands being placed on the voting table.

Almost unsurprisingly, they are all big domestic and foreign brands with great reputation and sales in the market.

If you look closely, you will find that more than half of the brands have Japanese backgrounds.

Even when the battery car is in the column...

You will find that there are almost no domestically produced electric vehicles.

All of them are Sino-Japanese joint ventures.

Song Guifang suddenly thought of the word "monopoly" and felt a vague sense of worry in her heart.

In recent years, there are indeed many Chinese independent brands emerging in the market.

But most of them are not competitive...

Either the quality is a problem, or it is a sales problem or a reputation problem...

There is only one reason why these brands are recommended this time...

That is, joint venture cars are better than domestic electric cars in terms of sales, reputation, brand effect and after-sales service.

Although it is a Japanese brand, it is also a Sino-Japanese joint venture. It cannot be said to be a monopoly, but it can only be said that there are no pure domestic brands?

This time, the "home appliances going to the countryside" project is very important. It is a government project. If it fails, then...

That would be extremely embarrassing.

……

One by one, people stood up.

Then sat down again.

The joint venture of three major electric vehicle brands is now a done deal.

Soon, the last few votes came to Song Guifang.

Song Guifang did not stand up immediately, but remained silent for a long time, then lowered her head and looked at the information in her hand.

Looking at the brands on the flamboyant [Electric Vehicle Alliance]...

At this moment.

She hesitated for a moment.

There is no problem in proposing it, but this time, I will be held responsible...

If everything goes well, there will be no problem, as it can indirectly promote the growth of the domestic electric vehicle market.

but……

What if the market feedback is bad?

What about her future career!
but……

Someone has to stand up eventually.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Zhang Yang who had bet everything on the photovoltaic field, and this time, he had bet everything on the domestic electric vehicle field...

He is gambling!
Then myself...

Forget it.

Just die.

She sighed in her heart, and finally stood up, suppressing the three major brands of the joint venture.

She stood up.

"Dear leaders, this time, what I want to propose is not a certain brand, but a brand alliance of electric vehicles..."

"..."

“I’m wondering if this event can give our local brands a chance…”

"..."

(Two updates today, I feel a little impotent.)
