Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

The next day, Ministry of Machinery Industry.

"As for the National Automotive Industry Corporation you mentioned earlier, I sent it to the meeting and discussed it.

Many people voted in favor, and now many units are being merged or closed down.

For corporate units, the next round was originally planned and it just happened to be brought up by you.

Why not just stay on your side, take the lead and set an example.

What about the specific charter? Do you have any ideas?"

Old Yang was walking around on the table, holding a cigarette in one hand and a teacup in the other.

"I don't have any rules. I just follow the instructions of the state."

Fang wanted to sit opposite Mr. Yang and watch him spinning the cup non-stop.

At times like this, and in matters like this, having an attitude is enough. Allowing you to give your opinions is giving you face.

If you really want to give suggestions, then you are being immature.

Fang Xiang still understood this principle.

"You kid, you're so cunning!"

Old Yang chuckled and pointed at Fang Xiang.

"Overall, it is a good thing to integrate the domestic automobile industry.

It is always more powerful when all the strength is gathered together in one place than when five fingers are spread out.

It’s just that, although the fists are clenched, the power has also expanded, so the higher-ups are also concerned about this matter.”

Old Yang paused, and seeing that Fang Xiang was just smiling and saying nothing, he continued.

“But overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Or, you take up this burden?"

After waiting for a long time and seeing that Fang Xiang still didn't speak, Mr. Yang knew that he had to come up with some concrete suggestions.

So I just got straight to the point.

“I can’t do that. The whole country is a big chess game, and we need someone with a broad vision and a big picture to take the helm.

Who am I?

I haven’t figured out the GAC area yet, so I won’t do it.”

When Fang Xiang heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

Fang Xiang actually saw this kind of thing very clearly. Apart from him, there were really few people in the country who could control and calm the situation.

Those who can keep calm look down on this company and this position.

Those who are interested in this company and position cannot convince others with their abilities and qualifications.

Fang's original idea was to set up a company, with him taking a deputy position, so that Second Automobile Works and GAC could work together.

As for the other stalls, even if he wanted to, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

Taking a step back, even if we rush to let him take over, if he doesn't put forward conditions now, when will he do so?

"You, you, it was you who proposed this matter, and now I'm going to hand it over to you, but you don't want to do it.

What do you want to do?

Mr. Yang immediately frowned and pretended to be unhappy.

"It must be you who is choosing, I will just do the work.

You are the one who is in control here, aren't you better than me?"

Fang Xiang could naturally see that Mr. Yang was just pretending, but he still had to say what he had to say.

"Humph!

I knew you were like this.

Don't talk nonsense to me.

You have to do this whether you want to or not!

I came here today to inform you, not to discuss with you!"

However, Mr. Yang did not want to get what the buyer wanted. He directly put out the cigarette in the ashtray without taking a few puffs.

After sitting up straight, his attitude became stern.

"Mr. Yang..."

When Fang Xiang saw this, he knew that this was serious, but he hadn't put forward any conditions yet, so he wanted to speak up immediately.

“Don’t give me that crap.

This head office does not have a general manager for the time being, so you will first serve as a deputy and chief engineer.

Let’s build the framework of this company first.

The candidates will be selected from this national system.

According to regulations, this unit must be in Beijing, but considering your current situation, it is also convenient to contact you now.

The headquarters will temporarily focus on logistical support and liaison coordination.

I estimate that in the short term, you will travel more between the Shanghai and Guangzhou stock markets.

You don't need to worry about other places for the time being."

But Old Yang simply waved his hand and swallowed back Fang Xiang's words.

"What about FAW, Second FAW and Beijing Auto?"

Fang Xiang also figured out what was going on. Traveling between Shanghai and Guangzhou, wasn't that the same thing as what Liu's father had said?

What about the other factories?

“What’s the situation of Second Automobile Works that others don’t know, but you don’t know?

Cao Tianwei listens to you more obediently than to me, so is there any need to ask?

BAIC is preparing to take over Jeep and the Tundra you mentioned before. This is enough to keep them busy. You don't need to get involved or worry about it for now. I will just keep an eye on it for you.

As for FAW, there will be more trouble. Let them reform from within first, and then what after the optimization.

I think you have almost completed the integration with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. Please come up with a plan for the follow-up with FAW and BAIC, and we can discuss it together.”

Seeing Fang Xiang's attitude soften, Mr. Yang took out a cigarette and lit it before continuing slowly.

“That is to say, all major factories have clear divisions of labor, while also trying to maximize their own advantages.

After all, earning foreign exchange is the most important thing now.

You are now doing very well at Second Automobile Works and GAC. Production lines are being added one by one, and the output is increasing day by day.

It is unconscionable that Shanghai Auto, Beijing Auto and FAW are still standing still.

In fact, even if you don't mention the issue of the automobile corporation, the higher-ups also have their own ideas.

It just happened to come together.”

After waiting for a while and seeing that Fang Xiang seemed to be still digesting his words, Mr. Yang took a few puffs of his cigarette and continued.

"What about the foreign exchange mission?"

After hearing this, Fang Xiang basically understood what it meant.

On second thought, since we are given such great power, we must also have responsibilities.

“It must have been given to you. Our country is still very poor and the goods cannot be sold at a high price.

The few that are worth showing off are the ones from Second Automobile Works and GAC that you brought.

I still have to rely on you.”

Old Yang understood that since Fang Xiang asked this, he was ready to nod.

“Are there any indicators?”

Fang Xiang took a deep breath. He has always been obliged to take on foreign exchange tasks.

“For now, let’s stick to the previous years. No one can predict how much we will get in the future. It all depends on how you do it.

But the more the better.”

At this time, a smile finally appeared on Mr. Yang's face.

"Are you targeting the production line I ordered overseas?"

Fang Xiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and the fact that the Huo family had ordered fourteen production lines for him last time suddenly popped up in his mind.

"You said that, not me."

Mr. Yang suddenly burst into laughter.

"Well, you guys really have your eyes on me..."

Fang Xiang was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Before, Fang wanted Huo Zhenting to help him order the fourteen production lines, and he also reported it.

The jeep production line of Second Automobile Works was dismantled and sent to BAIC, and the remaining space is waiting for the new production line to be built.

BMW's original annual plan was to produce 50,000 units, not even one more.

That is to say, when Fang Xiang was around, he could still get at least a few thousand platforms. After Fang Xiang left, Cao Tianwei was restricted very much.

My connections, resources, and support have dropped by more than two levels, so I can only stick to the plan.

Once the Jeep production line is moved away, won’t the planned target of 40,000 units be freed up?

Otherwise why is Cao Tianwei so happy.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Yang and Mr. Liu have been mentioning Shanghai Automobile these two days. I’m afraid they think Fang Xiang has always favored Second Automobile Works and GAC.

I was afraid that I wouldn't treat everyone equally, so I just took care of everything myself.

By that time, the palms and backs of your hands will be made of flesh, and you will no longer be partial.

Some resources can also be allocated to Shanghai Auto and Beijing Auto. While they can eat the meat, they can at least have some soup, right?

As for FAW? FAW is too old. Even if it has updated a lot of equipment later, Jiefang is enough for them to produce.

So it is also the most desireless one at present.

“Let me make it clear first, this batch is custom-made for Second Automobile Works, and it will be useless even if Shanghai Automobile takes it away.

If Shanghai Auto wants it, please get in line first."

After figuring out the reason, Fang Xiang smiled helplessly and shook his head.
