Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

After leaving the Ministry of Machinery Industry, Fang Xiang sat in the car and went over the matter from the beginning.

Only then did I realize that things were not that complicated.

Not to mention Second Automobile Works and GAC, their businesses are now thriving.

As for BAIC, in fact, like FAW, it has been handling its current affairs very steadily over the years.

When he proposed to give Second Automobile Works' jeep production line and the military version of Tundra to BAIC.

The chessboard of BAIC, which had been largely untouched for more than a decade, has come alive.

There is no need to consider the civilian market; the military orders alone are enough to feed him.

Of course, this is still based on expanding the scale of the factory and increasing production and efficiency.

Besides, after all, the Jeep 213 and Tundra were also produced by myself.

Therefore, BAIC and I have a long history and a very harmonious relationship. If I intervene in the future, they will most likely not only not be disgusted, but will even welcome it.

As for FAW, although we have a deep connection with them and I helped them upgrade the Jiefang engines, we have had little contact after all.

They have established their own system for a long time. Without saying too much, just look at Factory 112 and you will know.

I stayed there for a few years and worked as chief engineer for a few years, but I was unable to command the team well, so I finally had to poach someone from Institute 909.

I know that their internal ties are too complicated, so Mr. Yang said that he doesn't need to worry about them for the time being.

The only one left is Shanghai Auto, right?

In fact, Shanghai Auto, like BAIC and FAW, has many connections with itself.

For the SH760 made more than a decade ago, I upgraded the engine for them and even designed the interior and exterior for them.

Logically speaking, the relationship is pretty good.

But the bad thing is that Director Ma was transferred from Shanghai Auto, which is equivalent to poaching people from others. This is the first point.

Later, Luoqi was established under his own hands, and was soon upgraded to Second Automobile Works. It began to produce BMWs and Jeeps, and won car orders from most of the government agencies across the country.

If he said that he had not offended Shanghai Automobile, Fang Xiang himself would not believe it.

For many years, Shanghai Automobile was hanging on by a thread. In the 80s, it started a joint venture with Volkswagen to produce Santana.

Because he was dissatisfied with Volkswagen making too much money in the domestic market, he began to target Shanghai Automobile and GAC.

Shanghai Auto was in a state of anxiety and fear for more than two years, and finally had to bow its head and cut losses to save itself.

This grudge has reached the sky, hasn't it?

But is it Fang’s fault for thinking about this?

It seems like I really can't blame myself, right? !

If Shanghai Auto had said at the beginning, "Brother, I'm dying and only have half my breath left, please give me a hand."

Do you think Fang Xiang is working hard?

Apart from anything else, at least GAC has nothing to do with it, right?

It’s hard to say, but the possibility that GAC will become a copy of Shanghai Auto is very high.

But, this matter cannot be said like this. Shanghai Automobile has been running like this since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is understandable that they have a bit of Shanghainese arrogance in their bones.

After all, in the eyes of authentic Shanghainese, people from all over the world except the capital are all country folk.

Do you want to bow down to Fang?

Tsk tsk tsk... You might as well look up and see if there are any UFOs in the sky.

But after 10 billion yuan was invested, GAC emerged and the results of SAC are already visible to the naked eye.

Either a slow death or a life-threatening death.

Or, like now, be recruited by Fang Xiang.

But the problem will also surface as it is incorporated.

He must have offended someone. Even if Fang Xiang was holding the imperial sword, he couldn't just get away with it.

What are you talking about? Ah, you are my soldiers now, and you must listen to my orders from now on.

This is like putting your face forward and letting others hit you.

Fang Xiang was still very rational about this kind of thing and thought that he couldn't do it.

Therefore, how to do this matter skillfully and how to make people convinced became a difficult problem facing Fang Xiang.

In short, it will definitely not be the same as Factory 132 was back then.

Factory 132 had historical problems, and coupled with the management's recklessness, they were actually easy to solve.

It is enough to defeat ten skills with one strength, but for Shanghai Automobile, it is not that easy.

As he was thinking, Fang Xiang returned to the GAC Guesthouse.

Just a few steps into the guesthouse, I saw Ji Pengwei and an unfamiliar old man having a pleasant conversation in a small reception room.

It has been two months since Ji Pengwei returned to Beijing. Fang Xiang has already discussed the matter of Tan Tu, so it is natural for him to go back with him.

But he didn't expect that after Ji Pengwei saw him coming back, he actually chased him out.

"Lao Fang, the secretary of Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation, surnamed Liu, is here to see you."

Hearing footsteps behind him, Fang Xiang turned around to look. Ji Pengwei quickly walked up to him and said something.

"Looking for me? What are you doing?"

Fang Xiang glanced at the entrance of the reception room which he had already walked past, but of course he couldn't see it at this time.

"I don't know anything about Jeep. You should go and talk to him."

Ji Pengwei took the cigarette that Fang Xiang handed over and put it to his ear.

"Row."

When Fang Xiang heard this, he nodded and turned to walk over.

Although the matter with the General Automobile Industry Corporation has been finalized, it will take some time before it is announced.

There must be a lot of processes and work to be done in between. Could it be that Secretary Liu heard some rumors?

However, since the other person has come to visit, it would be unreasonable to avoid him.

Just talk, just talk.

"Hello, Secretary Liu. I am Fang Xiang."

After entering the reception room, Secretary Liu was still sitting there drinking tea.

Fang wanted to take a step forward and extend his hand.

"Hello, Professor Fang. I have heard of you for a long time. Today I finally meet you in person. I didn't expect you to be so young."

When Secretary Liu saw Fang Xiang coming in, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and shook hands with Fang Xiang's extended goodwill.

"Sit, sit.

I heard from Pengwei that Secretary Liu came here to inquire about Jeep's affairs?"

After Fang Xiang sat down, he took the initiative to start the conversation.

“Indeed, I heard from the ministry that Second Automobile Works is planning to package up the Jeep production line and send it to Beijing Auto.

I also heard that Professor Fang just returned to Beijing, so why not come and express my gratitude to him?"

Secretary Liu also sat down, took the cigarette that Fang Xiang handed over, and spoke with a smile.

“You’re welcome. Actually, I have a relationship with BAIC for more than ten years.

When Second Automobile Works built 213, it also took a part of the market share from BAIC.

It is only right that I return it now, there is no need to thank me."

Fang wanted to take out a match, light cigarettes for the two of them, and waved his hand and said.

Although Secretary Liu expressed his gratitude, it is also true that Fang wanted to eat meat from other people's mouths back then.

So let's just speak frankly and see what Secretary Liu really thinks.

"Professor Fang, you are wrong. It was you who designed 213.

BAIC also took advantage of this matter, so it’s not a question of whether it’s yours or mine.”

As soon as Secretary Liu said this, Fang Xiang knew that he really came to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, it's all I should do.

By the way, has Secretary Liu learned about Tantu recently? "

Seeing that Secretary Liu came with good intentions, Fang Xiang naturally responded with good intentions as well.

Directly mentioned the smooth road.

"I haven't heard of it. What is this?"

Secretary Liu looked confused.

"Is such that......"

Fang thought that since Secretary Liu didn't know about this, he might have to guess that either he didn't have enough connections, or both the ministry and the military were still keeping it a secret.

But now that everything has been decided, I think it will be announced soon.

He didn't care whether it was a day earlier or later, he simply presented the Tundra he designed, the military order, and his plan to allocate a production line to BAIC.

Say it directly.

"This! Thank you so much, Professor Fang. I... I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Professor Fang, I will host a banquet tonight. Please come and let me express my gratitude to you."

After Secretary Liu heard this, his lips trembled with excitement and he almost lost his composure when speaking.

"No, no, there is still a long way to go, and we will have to cooperate more in the future.

Secretary Liu, our good days are still long!"

Fang Xiang smiled and shook the hand that Secretary Liu extended, and said something meaningful.
