Chapter 2262: Inspection by the Superior (Fifth Update Completed)

In the afternoon after the celebration ceremony for the 500,000th Panda sedan rolling off the production line, some very mysterious people came to Nanwan Group.

When these people arrived at Nanwan Group, they first showed their credentials to Wan Feng, then took over the work of Han Guangjia Security Company and conducted personnel verification and security checks.

People from the National Security Bureau.

This made Wan Feng realize that an important person had arrived.

He used to think that he was a provincial-level cadre, but judging from the current situation, he should be at the central level.

These national security personnel lived in Nanwan Group for a week and basically checked out all the personnel in Nanwan Group.

At 8 a.m. on June 17, police officers began to appear on duty on the road from Wulu to Jiangwei, and traffic police cars ran back and forth to close the road for a short period of time.

A convoy of more than a dozen Coasters drove into Jiangwei from Hongya and drove directly to the entrance of Nanwan Group.

Wan Feng led the group’s senior management to greet them at the gate.

All employees of Nanwan Group were notified not to leave the workshop, but there were no outsiders in front of the company.

After the security guards came out and stood facing outward on both sides of the gate, the door of the first car opened, and out came the high-ranking officials of Hongya City and the mayor of Hongya City, followed by the high-ranking officials and mayor of Bohai City.

Next came the provincial-level cadres, senior provincial officials and directors in charge of industry, and then some people whose jobs Wan Feng couldn't quite describe.

The last person who got out of the middle Coaster, Wan Feng, was a little dumbfounded.

Wan Feng had seen the number one leader in the State Council on TV many times.

When meeting such a big shot, Wan Feng didn't know what to do for a moment. He had never experienced this before.

"You are Comrade Xiao Wan, right?"

It was a senior provincial official who introduced him, and the big shot took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Wan Feng.

"Hello, sir!" Someone, at a loss of what to do in a hurry, blurted out this sentence foolishly.

The leader smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We are the New China. We don't use the old feudal terms. Just call me comrade."

"Hello, Comrade Commander!"

"That's fine too."

The leader's visit to Nanwan Group was completely a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The leader felt unhappy when he learned that the government's vehicle procurement was finally handed over to a private enterprise instead of one of the three major and three small factories.

His unhappiness was not because he was unhappy about handing over the administrative cars to a private enterprise, but because he believed that this private enterprise must have used some dishonorable means to obtain this order.

This time he came to see if this was the case. If it was, he would conduct a thorough investigation when he returned.

How dare you engage in such improper activities? I wonder if he hates these kinds of things the most.

However, after learning about this company called Nanwan from various channels, the leader became interested again.

Although the information was incomplete, he thought it was a very interesting company.

Therefore, he came to inspect Nanwan Group today for two purposes. One was to learn more about the company that interested him, and the other was to see if there was any trick in the purchase of executive cars.

Wan Feng felt relieved after realizing that the other party was here to inspect the car.

This is the highest-ranking official to come to Nanwan in all these years.

In fact, he has not had much interaction with officialdom over the years. I have not stolen a penny of tax, and I have boosted the local economy and solved the employment problems of tens of thousands of people. There is no need for him to have too much interaction with officialdom.

He dealt with local officials far less than with the military.

Those businessmen who have had various dealings with officials are not clean people themselves, or the business they are engaged in is also shady.

They are the only ones who would curry favor with officials.

Everything about his Nanwan Group is clear and transparent. Why would he need to curry favor with government officials?

Because he doesn't have much contact with officials, he was still very nervous when such a high-ranking official came today.

Wan Feng led the way and took this group of leaders into the yard of Nanwan Microcar. While walking, he introduced the development process and current situation of Nanwan Microcar in detail.

"Have you started making cars since 1994?" the leader asked in surprise.

The information he had read was rather general, only saying that the company had started making cars a few years ago, but not specifying the specific time.

"Yes, sir. The first car we made was the Panda. Now it's the third generation, sir! Those little cars that look like toys are Pandas."

There are Panda cars parked in the parking lot in the yard, but there are not many, only about twenty or thirty, all colorful.

If the leaders had not come to inspect and the movers had not temporarily stopped their work, these vehicles would not have been parked here and would have been pulled away by trucks long ago.

The chief walked to the parking area of ​​the Panda car with great interest. He had seen this very interesting little car on the streets of Bohai and Hongya City when he came here. He didn't expect that it was produced here.

"You've been producing this car since 1994. How many have you produced so far?"

"Report to the Commander! Over 500,000 vehicles."

The leader was shocked. From 1994 to now, five years later, a private enterprise has sold over 500,000 vehicles! Some state-owned enterprises haven't even achieved that!

For example, GAC sold 100,000 vehicles in 12 years, alas!

"Which country did you import the technology for this small car?"

"Sir, this is all our own technology, and we have complete independent intellectual property rights."

This time the leader was surprised.

He didn't know how many times he had been surprised since entering Jiangwei. The cityscape here surprised him once again.

He also specifically asked about the administrative unit here and confirmed that this was the second smallest administrative unit in China, a village.

This is better than the construction of Huaxi Village in Daqiuzhuang.

He had been surprised twice since entering the company's yard.

"Is this really your own technology? Without any help from outsiders?" The leader's tone became higher.

He is very clear about the situation of the domestic automobile industry.

The market was exchanged for technology. Over the years, the market was lost, but not much technology was gained in return.

Shangqi, Changqi and Erqi all have the same taste.

But in a small mountain valley here, a private enterprise called Nanwan actually has its own independent technology, which makes the leader feel a little surprised.

"I borrowed this." Wan Feng recounted the story of acquiring Japanese Hengbida and hiring Japanese technical personnel ten years ago.

"Our microcar technology is developed based on this."

The leader nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Next to the Panda Car Area is the Qingfeng Car Area, where there are also twenty or thirty Qingfeng cars parked.

"Commander! This is another small-displacement mini car produced by our company. Its name is Qingfeng."

Strictly speaking, the Panda is more of a toy, while the Qingfeng is a serious three-box sedan.

The leader walked around the car and asked to sit inside.

Wan Feng asked the custodian to open the car door and made a gesture of invitation.
