Liu Huiming was still not entirely satisfied with Chen Dong's words.
"What can I say to you? This isn't just about one car factory!"
"You've acquired a complete set of production processes with independent intellectual property rights, and you don't even need to pay licensing fees! Don't you realize how significant this is?"
Then, Liu Huiming told Chen Dong about the history of automobile production in my country.
Until 1985, my country did not have a complete automobile production line, and automobile production volume was quite low. The production of a single car would consume a lot of human and material resources.
In 1983, Volkswagen, owned by Hans, agreed to provide technical support to my country and establish a joint venture factory with my country.
In this way, my country had its first automobile production line and used it to produce its first car—the Santana.
In fact, Chen Dong was already familiar with this history. Not long ago, in order to work on the car business, he delved into it again.
Chen Dong was certainly aware of these things, and even knew more about them.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to buy the car production line and all the technology from the island nation.
In fact, he saw further and thought more than Liu Huiming and the others.
In his view, the joint venture terms offered by Hans were not particularly favorable.
Hans brought not only advanced automotive production technology, but also modern business management concepts, and even every component of the car. However, they did not originally intend to help China establish an automotive industrial system.
my country introduced this project not to learn how to assemble foreign cars, but to achieve domestic production and establish its own automotive industry system.
Therefore, increasing the localization rate of Santana became the goal of China's automotive industry during this period.
The localization rate is one of the reasons why Chen Dong came to see Liu Huiming today.
"Brother Liu, although I'm not here in person, I've been thinking about the development of the automotive industry."
"We are thinking about how to make it develop better and faster, and more conducive to the economic and social development of Shenzhen and even other parts of the country."
Liu Huiming became interested and leaned forward. "Oh, do you have any ideas?"
Originally, the fact that the first domestically produced car rolled off the production line was already a major achievement for him.
Listening to what Chen Dong was saying at this moment, it seemed that he had bigger goals and better methods.
Then Chen Dong said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but not long ago, Anting Town in Mingzhu City issued a document encouraging individual and private businesses to join the ranks of providing parts for Santana cars."
"Oh, is that so?" Liu Huiming frowned.
In this era, although newspapers, radio, and television were well-developed, the transmission of information was not particularly fast.
The documents from a town under the jurisdiction of Mingzhu City would not attract the attention of Liu Huiming, who was far away in Pengcheng.
However, although he had never heard of this matter before, when Chen Dong mentioned it, he immediately began to deduce what it meant.
Of course, he knew that the people of Mingzhu were not stupid.
"Do you know what this means?" Chen Dong asked meaningfully.
Liu Huiming, who was already somewhat suspicious, was startled. Without Chen Dong's prompting, he had already figured it out: "Domestic production?"
"Yes, the central government has always been advocating for domestic production and improving our own manufacturing capacity. Otherwise, we'll just be assemblers for others, which is pointless. It won't contribute much to our country's economy. But if we build supporting industries and upgrade the overall industry, then it will be a different story!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Huiming stood up abruptly.
He paced back and forth in the study.
He thought that Chen Dong had provided him with such good conditions, and that if he couldn't make good use of such a large automobile factory with independent intellectual property rights in Pengcheng, it would be a waste of Chen Dong's hard work, and he would be a failure as the leader of the special economic zone.
It has to be said that recently, although he has been paying close attention to Chen Dong's car factory, thinking about building the factory and starting trial production as soon as possible, he also wanted to compete with Mingzhu's Volkswagen car factory.
However, it was unexpected that Mingzhu's leaders were able to see the opportunity so early and begin making arrangements.
With Chen Dong's prompting, Liu Huiming knew what he should do.
"You're really amazing, kid! How come I didn't think of that? I really have to thank you for reminding me. Look at you, look at you! I told you to come back one more time, but you wouldn't listen. You never call me, and you almost caused me trouble!"
Chen Dong was speechless.
Haha, I rarely see someone describe their mistakes in such a refreshing and elegant way.
Seeing Chen Dong's resigned expression, Liu Huiming laughed and said, "Alright, thank you! Really, thank you so much! On behalf of so many people in the city, and even so many talents in the national automotive industry, thank you."
Liu Huiming's actions are understandable.
After all, if the localization of automobiles can be achieved as soon as possible, it will greatly promote the improvement of the level of domestic automobile production, and even have a huge market effect on other domestic industries.
This will allow them to see how steadily and how far Shenzhen has progressed on the path of reform and opening up, and to witness the tremendous achievements of Shenzhen's reform and opening up.
If this is done well, it can be featured in top national newspapers.
Perhaps their actions will be written into internal reports, thus attracting the attention of the country's top leaders.
For a leader like him who is ambitious and eager to improve, the importance of this kind of thing is self-evident.
Others may not know, but Liu Huiming knows that what he did in Shenzhen has gained the approval of many people, but it has also affected the interests of many others.
These people are dissatisfied with me. Many want to sabotage me to make way for me, while others want to reap the benefits.
All I can do is continuously expand my influence and do better, so that these people will have reservations and dare not act recklessly in public.
In this short period of time, Liu Huiming had already realized that if a large number of joint ventures could be formed around Longteng Automobile to provide supporting parts, then Pengcheng's industrial level would be greatly improved, which would also have great benefits for tax revenue, employment, and other aspects.
At that moment, Liu Huiming and Chen Dong began to discuss what kind of supporting enterprises were needed.
Chen Dong then gave him some examples.
Longteng Auto needs components including engines, transmissions, braking systems, electronics, car seats, interior trim, and various steel parts.
Every time Chen Dong mentioned something, Liu Huiming would write it down in his notebook, muttering, "Very good, this should be included!"
"Yes, this should be included as well."
As Chen Dong listed more and more examples, Liu Huiming became increasingly excited.
He would slam his fist on the table or his thigh, making loud "bang bang slap" sounds, saying, "I should have thought of that sooner, I should have thought of that sooner!"
