Material Empire

Qin Hai and his party drove here by themselves. The Daqin Group has quite a few companies in Haidong Province. When Qin Hai goes to Linshui for business, it is very common for him to use a car temporarily. Wang Xuemei accompanied Qin Hai and his party to the downstairs. An Audi car from the city government fleet was already parked behind Qin Hai's Mercedes-Benz. Wang Xuemei pointed to the Audi car, and half-jokingly said to Qin Hai: Mr. Qin, I want to take a ride in your high-end car. Please ask Director Wang to take a ride in my car for a while. I don't know if it's okay.

Wang Xuemei's request sounds very abrupt. If it was Qin Hai who invited her to drive with her, it would make sense. Now that Qin Hai didn't open her mouth, she took the initiative to ask to take Qin Hai's car. This seemed a little ignorant. After all, Qin Hai's status was placed there. Eligibility for the same car.

If Wang Xuemei was an unworldly little girl, it would be understandable to make such a request. But she seems to be in her 40s, and she is able to become the deputy director of the government office of the provincial capital, and her emotional intelligence is definitely not low. It's hard to understand.

As the saying goes, if something is abnormal, you must be a demon. Hearing Wang Xuemei's words, Qin Hai couldn't help laughing, and said, Of course. Xiaodong, you take Director Wang's car, please come to my car.

Wang Xiaodong agreed and got into the Audi sent by Wang Xuemei. Qin Hai took the back seat of his own car, first asked Wang Xuemei to sit in, and then sat on the outside by himself. As for Tian Ruzhi, he sat in the passenger seat.

Well, a Mercedes-Benz is more comfortable than an Audi, but the highest level of car distribution by our government is an Audi. Only a big entrepreneur like Mr. Qin can ride a Mercedes-Benz. Sitting in the car, Wang Xuemei tutted repeatedly. He admired the luxury of the car, as if he came here just to enjoy the luxury of riding in a luxury car.

Qin Hai smiled and echoed a few words, and then told the driver to drive. Mercedes-Benz and Audi drove out of the government compound one after the other, and drove towards the hotel where Qin Hai and the others were staying.

Seeing that the government building had been left behind, Wang Xuemei put away the frivolous expression she had just pretended, and changed into a warm and sincere face, and said to Qin Hai: President Qin, I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear to you just now. Let me formally introduce myself to you, my wife is Luo Mingsheng, you should have an impression, right?

Qin Hai was taken aback: Luo Mingsheng? Is it Professor Luo from Linshui University of Technology?

Yes, it turned out to be a researcher at the Metal Materials Performance Laboratory of our Anhe College of Materials. Wang Xuemei said with a smile.

Haha, so that's the case. Qin Hai laughed, unexpectedly meeting a family member of the School of Materials here.

Luo Mingsheng was an associate professor at Linshui University of Science and Technology in the early days. When the Anhe School of Materials was recruiting talents, he left Linshui University of Science and Technology and went to the School of Materials to engage in research on the properties of metal materials. During his years in the School of Materials, Qin Hai had dealt with him many times, and he was considered a familiar friend.

When Luo Mingsheng left Haidong to work in Anhe, his wife Wang Xuemei did not transfer to Anhe, but stayed in Linshui to work, so Qin Hai didn't know her. However, Wang Xuemei has heard a lot about this legendary young chairman from her husband, and knows that he is smart, wise, approachable, and a young entrepreneur worthy of trust and respect.

Before Luo Mingsheng went to work in the School of Material Science and Technology, the economy of Linshui City was not as developed as it is today. The income level of the couple was very low, and there were old and young in the family, and life was very difficult. After Luo Mingsheng came to the School of Materials, his income has doubled. As a direct beneficiary, Wang Xuemei is full of gratitude to Daqin Group and Qin Hai himself.

When Luo Mingsheng worked in Linshui University of Technology, his achievements were not remarkable due to limited scientific research conditions. In the past few years in the School of Materials, he has made frequent achievements, and he is well-known in the field of international metal materials. A few years ago, the School of Materials opened its doors to allow talents to flow back to their original units. Because his family is in Linshui, Luo Mingsheng chose to leave the School of Materials and return to Linshui University of Technology. With his fame and achievements, he was rated as a professor as soon as he returned to his original unit, and he became a member of the school's professor committee. His status was not the same as before he left. Luo Mingsheng and Wang Xuemei also attributed these changes to Qin Hai.

With these foreshadowings, Wang Xuemei naturally regarded Qin Hai as one of her own in her heart. There were some things that Wang Xuemei couldn't say clearly in front of Li Dongyuan and others just now, so she forced her way into Qin Hai's car, the purpose of which was to inform Qin Hai.

President Qin, Director Zhang Fan explained so many reasons to you just now, you probably don't believe it? Wang Xuemei asked straightforwardly without making any detours.

Qin Hai thought for a while, nodded and said, Indeed, I don't quite believe it.

Without Luo Mingsheng's relationship, it would be inconvenient for Qin Hai to speak to the officials of Linshui City like this. But Wang Xuemei revealed her identity, and Qin Hai also believed that he had treated Luo Mingsheng kindly in the past, and believed that Wang Xuemei would not treat him badly, so he answered Wang Xuemei's question bluntly.

Wang Xuemei said: Thank you Mr. Qin for being able to tell me the truth. I'll say it directly. In fact, the reasons Director Zhang said are just excuses. The real reason does not lie with the committees below.

Could it be... Mayor Li is not enthusiastic about this matter? Qin Hai asked.

Wang Xuemei shook her head and said, It's not just Mayor Li, this is the opinion shared by the leaders of both the municipal party committee and the municipal government. The basic content is that they don't support, and even try to prevent the promotion of electric vehicles in Linshui City. These words, the city Although the committees below were not publicly notified, they were greeted privately, so the following reasons were made up.

But why are they doing this? Could it be that they want to take this opportunity to gain more benefits from our group? Tian Ruzhi also turned around and asked Wang Xuemei.

When everyone first met, Qin Hai had already introduced Tian Ruzhi's position to Li Dongyuan and the others. Wang Xuemei knew that in a company with strong family elements like Daqin Group, the person who can become the deputy general manager must be someone the boss can trust. That's why she revealed to Qin Hai that Linshui was in the presence of Tian Ruzhi. City of Secrets. Hearing Tian Ruzhi's question, Wang Xuemei said: Mr. Tian, ​​you don't know something. The reason why our city doesn't accept electric vehicles is not because the preferential conditions given by you Daqin Group are not enough. On the contrary, the city leaders think it's a gift. The benefits of door-to-door visits are very rare. The reason why they oppose the promotion of electric vehicles is mainly because of the opposition of Beidian and Anshi, your electric vehicles have robbed their market.

Beidian and Anshi? Qin Hai's eyes lit up, it turned out that the problem was stuck in this place.

Beidian and Anshi are the two largest auto groups in China. Even today when the auto industry is everywhere, these two groups still occupy nearly half of the domestic auto market. Zhang Daiwei, who cooperated with Qin Hai to develop electric vehicles, was originally an engineer of Beidian Automobile Group. It was only because his talents could not be used in Beidian that he jumped to Hongyuan Automobile Company to develop its own brand vehicles.

As early as six or seven years ago, at the automobile industry development conference led by the State Machinery Commission, Zhang Daiwei put forward the idea of ​​developing new energy vehicles as the leading direction regardless of the ideas of the then owner Beidian Automobile Group. The joint criticism of Beidian Group and Anshi Group. At that time, the two groups had just introduced mature models from abroad, and made huge profits in the passenger car market through joint production.

Can make money easily, who else is willing to bother and innovate. At that time, the new energy vehicle was still an invisible and intangible moon in the mirror and a flower in the water. If you invest money in development, if you can’t get results, you will just create trouble for yourself; if you get results, you will not earn more than you are now. more money. Who wants to do such a thing?

Zhang Daiwei resigned in anger, and went to Hongyuan Automobile Company to develop its own brand, and at the same time joined forces with Qin Hai to enter new energy vehicles. Over the past few years, Daqin New Energy Vehicle has been born. Although it is still in the initial stage of marketing, its threat to traditional fuel vehicles is already clearly visible. No matter how dull the leaders of Beidian and Anshi were, they couldn't calm down at this time.

The development of new energy vehicles is a policy set by the State Planning Commission and the Machinery Commission several years ago. Beidian and Anshi, as leading companies in the automotive industry, bear the brunt of the research and development responsibilities. The two companies were not enthusiastic about this matter, and they used various excuses to cover up their lack of investment. Although the Planning Committee and the Machinery Committee knew the mystery, they had no evidence and couldn't say anything, so the matter was dragged on.

Now that Daqin Group has suddenly launched a mature model of new energy vehicles, the reasons Beidian and Anshi made will be self-defeating. The up-and-comer Hongyuan Automobile Company took over Daqin's automobile manufacturing business. This is equivalent to a slap in the face of two established big companies. How could Beidian and Anshi accept it.

If the sales of Daqin electric vehicles encounter obstacles and progress is slow, then Beidian and Anshi will have a new excuse. It can be said that electric vehicles are too advanced, and even if they are developed, there will be no market prospects. However, if the sales of electric vehicles are booming, grabbing the market of traditional fuel vehicles will come second. The most important thing is to confirm the slack of the two groups, Beidian and Anshi. This is unacceptable to the leaders of the two groups.

Because of this, the leaders of the two groups began to take active actions, desperately trying to prevent the popularization of Daqin electric vehicles.

Qin Hai had actually heard about this matter for a long time. What he didn't expect was that the influence of the two groups could spread to Linshui City, causing the government to take so much trouble to block Qin Hai.
