I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 118: Car Manufacturing is a Mess

That year, Nanxin did introduce a large domestic automobile manufacturer and began to manufacture energy vehicles. This was the first such enterprise in any county in the country!
But sadly, the company made the wrong choice.

The name of this car company is Land Flying Boat!
Lu Di Feizhou is a Shenzhen company. Although it promised large-scale production, it fell into the dilemma of land use and production qualifications. Until 2022, the court terminated the reorganization procedures of three affiliated companies of Lu Di Feizhou in Jiangsu Province and declared them bankrupt.

The car manufacturing process was a complete mess.

These were all things Fang Qingye had seen on the Internet before his rebirth. Although he was not in Nanxin at the time, this was his hometown after all, and he was still concerned about the news from his hometown, not to mention that this was a massive investment that was said to be worth 40 billion yuan.

In fact, we can’t blame the Nanxin leaders for their poor vision at the time. This was in 2009, and the country had just issued the “Automotive Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan”, which for the first time proposed the goal of large-scale development of new energy vehicles.

New energy vehicles were still a new thing, and there were very few companies engaged in their manufacturing. Xiaopeng, Weilai, and Ideal, which later became powerful domestic companies, had not yet appeared. Lei Jun was still struggling to develop the first generation of Xiaomi mobile phones. He probably didn't even think about making cars at that time.

Land Feizhou is currently one of the largest domestic companies fully committed to the research and development and production of new energy vehicles, so it is reasonable for the leaders of Nanxin to seek cooperation with them.

Unfortunately, I can only say that I was unlucky.

Why not look for BYD?

BYD has now started to produce new energy vehicles!
If BYD's production base can be moved to Nanxin, it will be of great benefit to Nanxin's future development.

But Fang Qingye knew that this was just his wishful thinking.

You are just an assistant to the president, not a county leader. Who will listen to you?

And how can you prove that BYD has more prospects than Land Flying Boat?
Just think about it.

There was also a municipal construction project in the report that aroused Fang Qingye's interest. He planned to set up a natural gas supply company this year to change the history of Nanxin County without pipeline natural gas supply.

This is a monopoly industry with huge profits.

Fang Qingye remembered that before his rebirth, when he returned home, the piped gas used in his home was supplied by a company called Jinghai Zhongtong Gas Company, which seemed to be an enterprise in Jinghai City.

It wasn’t built by Nanxin’s own people?
How come Song Qingdong, Qian Weimin and other wealthy people in Nanxin didn’t get any of this fat meat?

Didn’t you like it or didn’t get it?
Fang Qing didn't know either.

I guess they would have taken a fancy to it. This kind of municipal engineering construction is the favorite project of these people, not to mention it is a monopoly!

It seems that the Jinghai Zhongtong has great power, but Song Qingdong and his team failed to get it.

Fang Qingye was lost in thought as he looked at the report.

As for the subsequent development of real estate and construction of new-type agriculture, those are all old news.

The meeting lasted a long time, from nine in the morning to half past twelve in the afternoon, and Fang Qingye was already starving.

After the meeting, he drove straight to the office. Although meals were not provided during meetings nowadays, Fang Qingye had already called the chef in the company cafeteria to save a portion for himself.

The next day was Saturday. Early in the morning, Fang Qingye got up and had a quick breakfast outside. He put his fishing rod and fishing gear into the trunk of his car and excitedly drove straight to Wujiazhuang.

For a fisherman, there is nothing more joyful than this.

The weather was nice today, and the sun was warm. Fang Qingye hummed a song as he drove to the main river channel of Jiaogang near Wujiazhuang. He parked the car on the side of the road. He just got down to the river bank with his fishing rod, a stool and a plastic bucket when he heard someone calling him.

"President Fang, you're here."

It turned out to be Miao Hongbin from the Development and Reform Bureau.

"Miao, good morning." "Just arrived too." Miao Hongbin was very enthusiastic: "President Fang, what are you fishing for today?"

"It's February now, the temperature is relatively low, the water temperature is also cool, and crucian carp are more active at this time, so you can only catch them."

Fang Qingye said this and started looking for a suitable fishing spot.

"At this time, crucian carp begin to swim towards shallow waters to feed and reproduce. They usually choose areas with abundant aquatic plants, which not only provide food but also shelter. That place is perfect!"

Fang Qingye pointed to a place on the river with lush aquatic plants and said, "You can cast your hook here. The water is relatively shallow."

"Okay, okay!" Miao Hongbin moved quickly as instructed.

Fang Qingye did not compete with him, but found a place with lush aquatic plants nearby and cast his hook to fish.

Not long after, Miao Hongbin was heard shouting, "Caught it, caught it!" He pulled the fishing rod, and a half-foot-long carp was caught, jumping around.

Miao Hongbin carefully took the fish off the hook and threw it into a plastic bucket, not forgetting to praise Fang Qingye.

"President Fang, you are really amazing. I have never opened a store so early before."

Fang Qingye smiled and said nothing.

Although it was a bit cold in the wild in the morning, it didn't feel like much when fishing. Fang Qingye caught eight crucian carp and Miao Hongbin also caught three.

When we were hungry at noon, we didn’t go to the nearby town to find food. We just took the bread and mineral water we brought with us and made do with it. Fishermen don’t care about this.

After dinner, he continued fishing. Perhaps because of his success in the morning, Miao Hongbin was not so focused. He chatted with Fang Qingye while fishing.

"President Fang, how many loans did your Bank of China lend last year?" Miao Hongbin asked.

"About 20.5 billion."

"Oh, this year our Nanxin County is going to carry out several major projects and we need a large loan."

"Are you talking about the project in County Mayor Hu's report yesterday?" Fang Qingye asked.

"Yes, especially the construction of a new energy vehicle base, which is expected to cost several billion yuan. Our Development and Reform Bureau is taking the lead, working with the Investment Promotion Bureau, the Economic and Trade Bureau, and other units to carry out this project. We will immediately form an investment promotion team to go out and solicit investment, led by County Magistrate Hu himself."

"Going to Shenzhen?"

"Yes, now only Shenzhen has new energy vehicle companies."

"Which company are you planning to go to? Director Miao, can you tell us?" Fang Qingye asked.

"This is not really a secret. Have you heard of the Land Feizhou New Energy Electric Vehicle Group?" Miao Hongbin turned his head and looked at Fang Qingye.

"I've heard of a company that's engaged in the research and development and production of core technologies for pure electric vehicles. It seems to have only been established for a few years." Fang Qingye replied while looking at the fishing float in the river.

"Yes, it is one of the earliest companies in our country to specialize in the research and development and production of pure electric vehicles. It is very powerful. The county has already contacted this company last year, and they are very interested in building a new factory in Nanning, so this time we plan to conduct an on-site inspection."

"Oh," Fang Qingye said after listening to Miao Hongbin's narration, "Director Miao, there is actually another automobile manufacturer in Shenzhen that has also started manufacturing new energy vehicles. They are quite capable."

"Which one?"

“BYD.”
