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

Chapter 148 The young man in front of me and Wang Chuanfu have the same idea

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Lu Xiangyang raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Fang Qingye with some curiosity.

"President Fang has some very unique insights on new energy vehicles. You two can exchange ideas sometime."

"Okay." Lu Xiangyang said with a smile.

Fang Qingye was naturally modest and said that it was not unique and it was just a personal idea.

Of course, this is just a small episode. The next turn will be for the president of CCB, and the exchange will continue.

The atmosphere of the entire symposium was quite lively. Everyone expressed their welcome to Biyadi to invest and build a factory in Nanxin from their own work perspective, which touched Lu Xiangyang very much.

After the meeting, Fang Qingye did not stop and drove back to the unit. While on the road, he suddenly received a call from Duan Anping.

"President Fang, are you back at work?"

"Yes, on the way." Fang Qingye answered truthfully.

"You left so quickly. Don't go back to work, go straight to the Chundu Hotel. County Magistrate Hu is having lunch with Director Lu and the others today, and I'd like you to join him," Duan Anping said over the phone. "It was a last-minute decision, so I quickly informed you."

"Okay then." Fang Qingye agreed.

Although he is now a little afraid of various banquets, he cannot refuse this invitation now.

"I'll send the room number to your phone."

"it is good!"

Fang Qingye drove to the county town and headed towards Chundu Hotel.

When he arrived at the parking lot of Chundu Hotel, Fang Qingye found the Passat from the Finance Bureau that his second uncle often drove.

Fang Qingye knew that his second uncle had a good relationship with County Magistrate Hu, which was one of the reasons why he was transferred from township secretary to the county seat and assigned to an important position.

After entering the hall, Fang Qingye pushed the door open according to the room number given by Duan Anping. There was a large round table inside. Sure enough, he saw his second uncle and Miao Hongbin sitting on the sofa next to them chatting.

Seeing Fang Qingye coming in, Miao Hongbin smiled and said to Fang Jianhua: "Look, I said President Fang would come."

In addition to Miao Hongbin and Fang Jianhua, there were several other people in the room, including the director of the government office, the director of the investment promotion office, and the director of the economic and trade bureau. Fang Qingye knew all of them, but not very well. They greeted each other with a smile.

After sitting and chatting with Fang Jianhua and Miao Hongbin for a while, the door of the room was pushed open. It was Duan Anping who opened the door, and then he saw Hu Huaiwen and Lu Xiangyang walked in, followed by a few others, all of whom were members of the inspection team who came to Biyadi this time.

"Everyone sit down."

Hu Huaiwen asked Lu Xiangyang to sit in the first seat, and he sat beside him. Everyone sat down in turn, and Fang Qingye and Duan Ping'an sat at the bottom.

"Boss Lu said that everyone has work in the afternoon, so we won't drink at noon and will have a work lunch instead!"

After hearing this, Fang Qingye was overjoyed.

It's better not to drink.
Now I get scared when I see a wine bottle.

Although it was a work meal, it was still quite sumptuous. Everyone who didn't drink alcohol drank soy milk and chatted while eating.

From the conversation, Fang Qingye learned that Hu Huaiwen had suddenly received a notice from the provincial government that there was an emergency meeting requiring him to rush to Huijing in the afternoon.

The Biyadi delegation was leaving Nanxin tomorrow morning. Originally, there was a farewell dinner for all the key leaders of Nanxin tonight, but Hu Huaiwen couldn't attend. So, he invited Lu Xiangyang and the others to lunch at noon. "Boss Lu, I'm so sorry. The meeting was so urgent and I couldn't take leave, so I couldn't attend the dinner tonight. So, I'm treating you to a quick meal. I'm offering soy milk instead of wine. Here's a toast!"

"Soy milk is good." Lu Xiangyang also raised his soy milk and said with a smile: "Soy milk is more nutritious than wine. County Magistrate Hu, tell me the truth, I'm scared of you all drinking it!"

"Haha, we are sincere. Don't worry, Mr. Lu, next time you come to my party, just eat the food and don't drink!"

"That's daring."

Then everyone ate and chatted, and they all hoped that they would come next time and reach a cooperation agreement as soon as possible.

In fact, everyone understands it.

For an investment of billions like this, all problems cannot be solved in one inspection.

At this time, Lu Xiangyang looked at Fang Qingye, who was sitting quietly below him, and said with a smile, "President Fang, I heard from County Magistrate Hu this morning that you were the first to suggest that we build a factory in Nanxin with BYD. Do you have your own unique insights on new energy vehicles?"

"I can't say I have any unique insights, I just have some opinions of my own." Fang Qingye was very humble.

"Oh, can you tell me about it?"

"Okay." Fang Qingye didn't hold back, putting down his chopsticks and saying, "This spring, the country released the 'Automotive Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan,' which for the first time proposed the goal of large-scale development of new energy vehicles. I believe the country formulated this policy not only from an economic perspective, but also from the perspective of national development and security."

"Everyone knows that our country is short of oil. Last year, we imported 1.8 million tons of oil, and this figure is increasing year by year. Heavy reliance on oil imports is not conducive to national energy security. Therefore, vigorously developing new energy vehicles, represented by electric vehicles, is one way to solve the energy dilemma."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Everyone here is a government official, so you naturally understand this principle.

"Another aspect is overtaking others in the automotive industry. Mr. Lu knows this best. Our country has so many auto companies and has had joint ventures for so many years, but the quality of our cars still can't compare with those in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States. One important reason is that our domestic car engines are not as good as theirs."

"Since our engines can't compete with those of Japan, South Korea, Europe, or the US, let's switch gears and go for new energy! Let's not go for hydrogen, leave Japan aside, and go for electric power! That way, everyone is on the same starting line, and we might just surpass them!"

"President Fang, what you said makes a lot of sense!" Lu Xiangyang took over the conversation. "That's exactly what we at BYD think, and we believe this is the only way to surpass foreign car brands!"

"Mr. Lu is right, and we can definitely surpass it!" Fang Qingye said.

Lu Xiangyang laughed when he heard this: "Hey, President Fang, you have more confidence than us?"

"Yes! BYD will definitely be able to excel in the field of new energy vehicles. You have the ability! You are developing the most advanced power batteries, which will be the core of new energy vehicles. One day in the future, you may abandon the production of traditional fuel vehicles and focus solely on new energy vehicles!"

BYD abandons fuel vehicles?!
This view is somewhat shocking.

The officials present disagreed and thought Fang Qingye was talking nonsense, but Lu Xiangyang was secretly surprised when he heard it.

Why does he think the same as Lao Wang?
Just last year (2007), Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, said at the BYD F6 rollout ceremony: "The future of the automotive industry will be dominated by electric vehicles. Our development of fuel vehicles is just a transition."

This statement did not cause much response in the outside world, but it caused quite a stir within the company.

If we really stop making fuel vehicles, the engine research and development and production departments will have to close down!

You should know that the engine of BYD's fuel vehicle is independently developed and produced by BYD!

However, Wang Chuanfu quickly retracted his words, so the incident quickly passed. But as Wang Chuanfu's old partner, he knew in his heart that Wang Chuanfu was not just talking nonsense.

It is very likely that one day in the future, the company will officially announce the cessation of the research, development and production of fuel vehicles!
But the young man in front of him had the same idea as Wang Chuanfu.
