Chapter 465 Auto Localization

Yang Chen came to the Special Administrative Region this time, and naturally he didn't come here just to hang out. He was accompanied by Ferruccio Lamborghini.

After Ferruccio Lamborghini handed over the affairs of the Lamborghini company to Huo Jianhuang, he flew to Xiangjiang with several senior executives.

Ferruccio Lamborghini's mission to Xiangjiang this time was to go to Zhenzhen for an on-site inspection to see if Yang Chen's proposal of establishing a Lamborghini branch was really feasible.

During this period of time, Ferruccio Lamborghini kept busy with news from the mainland, knowing that the mainland had just started reforming and opening up at this time, and there were few foreign investments entering.

Regarding Lamborghini's rebuilding of the agricultural tractor factory and automobile factory, Ferruccio Lamborghini burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm. He even put down several sports cars that Yang Chen gave him, thinking only of quickly laying a solid foundation for Lamborghini.

After losing the agricultural tractor factory, Ferruccio Lamborghini had already realized that if a sports car company wants to develop well, it cannot do without strong financial support.

Where does the funding come from? Naturally, we cannot always rely on Yang Chen, the big boss. In the end, we have to rely on Lamborghini itself.

Therefore, when he received a call from Yang Chen and learned that the inland area had allowed the Lamborghini company to enter, he rushed over in a hurry.

Ferruccio Lamborghini came over, and Yang Chen's filming was naturally suspended. Fortunately, Zhunzhen was not far from Xiangjiang, so his trip here did not need to delay long.

Of course, although Inland agreed to Lamborghini's entry into Inland, it was not without conditions.

These days, Inland is strictly implementing the strategy of exchanging market for technology. After Volkswagen settled in Shanghai, Inland has a clear goal of domestically produced cars.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, we will use our own strength to manufacture domestically produced cars.

Yang Chen naturally supported the request made by Inland with one hundred and twenty, but these days it is not that easy for Inland to build 100% national cars.

I remember in my previous life, the German Volkswagen Company settled in Shanghai in 1980 and assembled its first assembly line in 1982.

That's right, it's an assembly line.

All parts were imported from abroad, and it took three years to successfully assemble the first Volkswagen in China.

The entire assembly process is pieced together like building blocks.

After the first domestically assembled car appeared, Inland started the car localization process. However, this process was not very smooth. All the manufacturing plants in Shanghai combined could not meet the requirements of Germany's Volkswagen.

The Germans are famous for their craftsmanship and their old-fashioned spirit. All production must be in accordance with their standards, without regard to the affordability of the inland areas.

This is like an ordinary person riding a bicycle. If you suddenly ask him to drive a sports car, he doesn't even know how to open the door, so you ask him to drive at a super high speed.

From an inland perspective, this is simply embarrassing.

Therefore, starting in 1983, conflicts broke out between Volkswagen and Inland on many issues.

Inland wanted Volkswagen to help build cars that were “suitable for China’s national conditions”, but the Germans never agreed.

Insist that cyclists must get into sports cars and start racing.

This has been reflected when Volkswagen entered Shanghai and all assembled auto parts were outsourced.

Following the lessons learned from the German Volkswagen, although the leadership team of Zhenzhen is very interested in Lamborghini, they also want to put everything on the table and make it clear, otherwise the two sides will be in trouble later.

In the conference room of the Zhenzhen Municipal Government Building, after Yang Chen listened to Secretary Liang's words, he glanced at the frowning Ferruccio Lamborghini next to him.

Nowadays, the city of Zhenzhen is very poor in terms of automobiles. It does not have the support of a large number of manufacturing plants in Shanghai. Everything needs to be started from scratch. With so many demands, if Yang Chen hadn't been sitting next to him, Ferruccio Lamborghini would have gotten up long ago.

Leave.

Seeing that neither Yang Chen nor Ferruccio Lamborghini spoke, Secretary Liang also felt that his request was a bit embarrassing, but there was no other way. The assembly and other things had already begun, and there was no need to copy it again in Zhenzhen.

If you want to attract the attention of the higher authorities, if you want to gain strong support from the higher authorities, if you want to shorten the distance between Zhenzhen and Shanghai in terms of automobiles in a short period of time, you must move towards localization.

"Ahem!" Secretary Liang coughed softly. His face was not red, he looked at Yang Chen breathlessly, and said: "Mr. Yang, you can make any requests you have, as long as Lamborghini can help Zhenzhen complete the localization of automobiles.

, I can accept all your requests."

Yang Chen shook his head: "Secretary Liang, I don't have anything to ask for. I support the localization of the country's automobiles. I support it with both hands."

"It's just that we have to eat our meals one bite at a time and walk the road step by step."

"Nowadays, most manufacturing plants in the country can't even get the parts together. You can't let me just work without eating after setting up the company, right?"

Secretary Liang grinned dryly. Although this was indeed a bit strange, politicians always think about things differently from businessmen.

In Secretary Liang's eyes, there is no question of whether it is difficult or not, or whether it can be done. There is only a question of whether it is wanted to do it or not, and whether it can be done well.

Seeing that Secretary Liang didn't respond, Yang Chen continued: "Secretary Liang, let's put aside the cars and so on. Let's start with the agricultural tractor. This one is simple to make and doesn't take too much time.

Although domestic agricultural tractors can be domestically produced, in terms of technology, they are still far behind those of the outside world. Let us solve this problem first and then consider cars."

Yang Chen: "Secretary Liang, what do you think?"

"Uh..." Secretary Liang and the others were instantly petrified after hearing this, not knowing how to answer.

A world-renowned automobile brand came to build a tractor factory in their place. This style of painting seems a bit wrong.

"Ahem" is the person who can be the top leader of the special zone? After a brief moment of surprise, Secretary Liang recovered instantly and asked doubtfully: "Then what, are you sure Mr. Yang is talking about a farm tractor, not a car?"

Yang Chen nodded seriously and said: "Secretary Liang, I know what you want to ask. Lamborghini actually started out as an agricultural tractor factory. If Secretary Liang knows anything about it, he should know this!"

Secretary Liang nodded. Lamborghini is a world-famous sports car brand. It doesn't take much effort to find out about it.

In addition to attracting investment, the most important thing for the SAR government is to open the door to understand the outside world. As the leader of the SAR, he naturally needs to have a detailed understanding of the foreign companies entering the SAR.
