There are high temperatures all over the country, and in late July, the business capital is like a steamer.

After receiving a call from Zhang Haoran, Chen Li and Zheng Wenyuan rushed back to Shangdu from Guangcheng to work for a car manufacturing investment project in Shangdu.

The automobile industry in Zhongyuan Province is not well developed in the country, and by this time there is no car brand of its own.

Including Gaojia's Fengyuan Group, Luocheng Heavy Industry, and Zhongyuan Heavy Duty Truck, the province has a certain position in the manufacturing fields of special vehicles, loading trucks, large and medium-sized passenger cars, micro-surfaces and other models, but overall, the automobile industry in Zhongyuan Province is quite weak.

Although Fengyuan Group's special vehicle production ranks among the top three in the country, the market in this field is very narrow.

After Gao Can took back control of Fengyuan Group, Dashang Capital expanded its capital injection in Fengyuan. In addition to its previous special bulletproof and police vehicles, it was mainly supported by Chuangyuan Technology, expanding its business in areas such as electric forklifts, electric flow vehicles, and electric trucks.

Fengyuan Group's operating income exceeded 3 billion in 2009, which has made a very outstanding leap compared to Fengyuan Group's previous performance, but it is nothing in the field of automobile manufacturing, which is full of capital.

The two provincial-owned automobile manufacturing enterprises, including the provincial-owned Zhongyuan Heavy Truck and Zhongyuan Bus Manufacturing Group, are no better than Fengyuan Group.

The Guanqi Bus produced by Zhongyuan Bus Manufacturing Group seems to be a bit famous in China, but the First Army in the field of bus manufacturing cannot find its own position.

During the Zheng Cong era, the province clearly stated that the automobile industry was included in the province's medium- and long-term economic development plan as the top ten pillar industries. Under the promotion of Zheng Cong and Luo Rongmin, two joint venture brands built production bases in Shangdu High-tech Industrial Park, which also promoted the development and growth of a number of supporting enterprises.

Around 2004, at the request of Zheng Cong, Zhongyuan Bus Group produced small SUVs based on the previous pickup truck assembly line, intending to develop in the direction of passenger cars, but the production and sales volume and technical level were not improved. After it was put into production, it did not make any profits, but to a certain extent it dragged down its main business.

Lin Hanxiu and Luo Rongmin officially took over the Central Plains Province after the New Year. They also made promoting the development of the automobile industry a focus of the province's economic work.

The SUV production line of Zhongyuan Bus has not been developed. Whether it is the province or Zhongyuan Bus itself, it has all resolved this burden. Since last year when Zheng Cong was working in Zhongyuan Province, he has been negotiating cooperation with a French passenger car brand manufacturer, hoping to form a joint venture passenger car company with this French car company on the basis of this production line.

Zheng Cong left his post, and Luo Rongmin presided over the economic work of the whole province and always attached great importance to related work. He even rushed to the scene to visit this project negotiation.

Perhaps it was because of Lin Hanxiu's repeated instructions and Luo Rongmin's personal appearance to promote the negotiation work, the negotiator of the French car company suddenly overturned the previous year's negotiation results, and proposed that the province could not accept the harsh conditions at all.

The other party's arrogance also made Luo Rongmin angry. What was even more anxious was that the development of the automobile industry in the province had never been able to break through the bottleneck, so he found Zhang Haoran and wanted to ask whether Dashang Capital and Fengyuan Group had entered the passenger car industry field in a large scale.

Fengyuan Group has a certain position in the field of special vehicle production and manufacturing, but the investment volume is not on the same level as the passenger car field.

Whether it is capital or technology accumulation, Fengyuan Group has no way to enter the passenger car field, especially domestic own passenger car brands and joint venture brands, which are quite mature. When it is strong, Fengyuan Group will never involve a field full of giants at will.

The assets currently managed by Dashang Capital have exceeded 40 billion yuan, but passenger cars often invest in single projects of 10 billion yuan, even if they are considered, they must directly inform Chen Li.

Even if there is funds, but not enough technical accumulation, and without a mature and reliable management technical team, Chen Li could not let Dashang Capital or Fengyuan Group lead such projects. However, this is a matter that Luo Rongmin is directly concerned about, so Chen Li did not stop in Guangcheng and rushed back to Shangdu with Zheng Wenyuan.

On the same day when he returned to Shangdu, in the afternoon, Zheng Wenyuan met with Zhang Haoran first and learned more specific situations. In the evening, he accompanied Luo Rongmin to attend a banquet and went to meet the other party's representative.

Zhang Haoran is currently the co-president of Dashang Capital, mainly responsible for following up the introduction and investment of projects. In order to gain a certain advantage, the province also introduced Dashang Capital as a participant to the negotiation bureau.

However, the initial plan, Dashang Capital or Fengyuan Group, as the investor, accounted for at most about 5% of the shares in the newly established passenger car joint venture, which is completely different from the dominance of the entire project at this time.

"I have been talking about it for almost a year and have negotiated that Dashang Capital will invest 500 million yuan in 5% of the shares. Zhongyuan Bus Group will take the original SUV vehicle production line, Guanqi passenger car brand and 1 billion yuan in funds, accounting for 25% of the shares. France Shengteng Group will build the production base of the joint venture factory in the high-tech industrial park with relevant technology, management team and 4 billion yuan in funds, accounting for 70% of the shares. The province and Shangcheng City will not only provide substantial subsidies for industrial land transfer, taxation, etc., but will also be responsible for solving 10 billion yuan in low-interest loans," Zhang Haoran will follow the relevant situation.

He told Chen Li, "This should be the last round of negotiations. The technical details have been negotiated, and we are waiting for the signing of the contract. Governor Luo came back from Beijing the day before yesterday and rushed to the negotiation venue to encourage both sides. Unexpectedly, Shengteng Group overturned all the negotiation results yesterday and did not agree to invest. Instead, he wanted to take away 70% of the shares with the technology and management team, and the province solved a low-interest loan of 14 billion yuan. He proposed a lot of harsh conditions in industrial land, taxation, etc. He did not allow China to send a co-president, so he could not continue..."

"I can't continue to talk, just tell them to get out. I really think we are leeks and can be cut at will." Zheng Wenyuan has always known about this project, but he didn't expect such a change to suddenly occur, so he was also very happy.

Even if he attended a banquet attended by a representative of Shengteng Group in the evening, Chen Li would not go to contact him directly. He just observed the other party from the side to make it easier to guess what kind of changes had happened, which caused the other party's attitude to suddenly change so much.

After the dinner, Chen Li and the others went to Luo Rongmin's house to have tea again.

Dashang Capital has no technical accumulation and a mature and reliable team, so there is definitely no capital to dominate such a large joint venture project. However, if the Shengteng Group's negotiations collapse and a new wholly-owned party is introduced, Dashang Capital can increase its investment to expand the province's negotiation dominance.

After drinking tea from Luo Rongmin's house, Chen Li took the bus to the airport to pick up Zheng Bingyang who had arrived from Pujiang, and then returned to Qingquan together.

This time he came back, he didn't alarm anyone, but it was quiet. Chen Li was used to going to bed late and got up late. He held a notebook and opened the web page to search for information from Shengteng Group.

Shengteng Group is a listed car company in France. Although it has not built a joint venture in China and entered the domestic market with imported cars, there is not much good sales. However, its two passenger car brands have a very good reputation in Europe, but the Chinese information is quite limited, there is not much English information, and there is a lot of French information. However, Chen Li has been reading the translation software for a long time and has not figured out a rough idea.

"I invested in this translation of Ciyun. I'm embarrassed to say it's bad," Chen Li saw Zheng Bingyang take a shower and walked out, saying in pain. "Tomorrow, I will sell the shares of this broken company and translate a French material, which is like a damn thing."

"What French information is read? I'll help you translate it." Zheng Bingyang was wearing a silk nightgown, with white and bright skin. After Chen Li's unremitting efforts for several months, his chest became much fuller, but his long legs were still so slender. He gently pressed it on Chen Li's shoulders from behind, and his fragrance was full of fragrance. He stretched his head to look at the information on the webpage.

Chen Li pulled Zheng Bingyang into his arms and sat down, and asked curiously: "Do you know French?"

"Hey, are you not familiar with your fiancée enough?" Zheng Bingyang glanced at Chen Li with disgust, and told Chen Li not to touch his hands. He said, "When I was studying in the UK, I studied French courses for two years in boredom. It was useless for a while and I might have been a little slow. Don't harass me."

"What should have happened to Shengteng Group to suddenly change its attitude," Chen Li told Zheng Bingyang about the passenger car joint venture project. "Both Dashang Capital and Xinrui City do not have a special French translation, and cannot follow up on French financial media reports in time; maybe someone else will go to France in person to investigate what is going on."

Knowing Chen Li's intention, Zheng Bingyang was more efficient. After all, there was no need to translate the searched website information word by word. He just needed to summarize the information she thought was useful and told to Chen Li to know.

She soon noticed a key message: "Shengteng Group seems to have been exposed to financial problems..." Zheng Bingyang opened a French financial analysis article to Chen Li, "Shengteng Group has not recovered from the subprime mortgage financial crisis until now. In 2009, it maintained profitability by selling two investment factories in Italy, but did not obtain much sufficient reserve funds. In the first half of 2010, the overall decline of the European passenger car market in the first half of 2010, this destined that Shengteng Group's financial crisis will only worsen further... The recent launch of investment negotiations in mainland China is just an effort to save the crisis."

Chen Li got up and called Zheng Wenyuan, told Zheng Bingyang that he had just seen the analysis article, and said, "At this time France should still be during the day. Can you find someone to verify this information - Shengteng Group may have financially deteriorated to the point that it could not promote the implementation of the joint venture project, so he decided to try his best to cheat us. If this is the case, Dashang Capital can consider investing in Shengteng Group directly, and maybe he can get the controlling stake... Get up quickly and work for me."

"The lean camel is bigger than a horse. How much money does it take to hold Shengteng Group? Dashang Capital nominally manages more than 40 billion yuan of funds, but there is not much cash in hand. Where can I raise dozens or tens of billions of funds?" Zheng Wenyuan muttered on the phone.

"European and American old manufacturing companies have not recovered from the subprime mortgage financial crisis. No matter how high the price is, it is limited - and as long as the French can give up this opportunity, the money can still be raised." Chen Li said.

Chen Li built a warehouse in Nanhua Real Estate before the new year, and the 4 billion yuan of funds in his hand finally increased to 8 billion yuan of funds. After that, Chen Li took out 3 billion of them and injected them into Dashang Capital, and together with Xu Yuanzhou, Ding Yang and others, plus the Zheng family's behind-the-scenes control trust investment funds, additional investment in Dashang Capital, and maintained Dashang Capital's financial investment in Wanbang Real Estate and Nanhua Real Estate each.

In addition to Xinrui City and Xinchaorui Commercial's dividend last year, Chen Li accumulated more than 7 billion yuan of funds in his hands and was idle there.

"How much money do you have? What are the numbers on the rich list? Isn't it poured into water?" Zheng Bingyang quickly cared about the company's affairs. Hearing Chen Li's tone on the phone with her brother, it seemed that billions and billions of cash were easy. "My brother bragged in front of Zhou Li all day long, saying that he would leave 10 billion assets for Dabao and Erbao in his life..."

"I haven't really calculated how much money I have. Anyway, your brother and others are not as rich as me in total. It's unlikely that they will surpass me in this life," Chen Li said with a proud smile. "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will find an opportunity to contact the representatives of Shengteng Group. You can pretend to be my secretary and eavesdrop on what they are talking about in French privately..."

Shengteng Group does not have a factory in China, but has a sales subsidiary that distributes imported cars. Even the representatives who represent the headquarters come to negotiate, sitting at the conference table, both parties communicate in English, and even if they are provided with translation, they are translated in Chinese and English.

******************************

There are any activities in the Municipal People's Hospital? Chen Tong and Shen Jianping had to rush to the hospital after getting up. Chen Li came back to accompany his parents very rarely. He also got up early all morning with Zheng Bingyang. After breakfast, he was less than eight o'clock. Before the driver came, he drove to Shangdu by himself.

There are three cross-river bridges between Qingquan and Shangdu, which are extremely convenient to travel.

Xinchaorui Real Estate, listed company Xinchaorui City, the headquarters of Xinchaorui Commercial, is also in the Zhongda Guanlan Entrepreneurship Park. Other people's offices have been renovated and the office area has been expanded. However, Chen Li's office in Shangdu still maintains its original style, but there are two more rooms outside: one is the assistant manager's room, which arranges three people to help him coordinate various affairs in Shangdu, and the other is a special reception room, which is also used to collect some antiques and plays collected by Chen Li outside.

This was the first time Zheng Bingyang entered Chen Li's office. He was very novel. He had been yelling to go back to school to see it. Now he was not in a hurry and looked at it curiously.

Seeing that there was a plan on Chen Li’s desk, he opened it and found that he was going to demolish and rebuild the first Guanlan Entrepreneurship Park. Zheng Bingyang said in surprise: “Isn’t it a pity to demolish and rebuild here?”

Zhongda Guanlan Entrepreneurship Park is an old factory in the former Shangdu Guo Cotton Factory. It was originally included in Xinchaorui Real Estate as commercial office land. However, considering that the east bank of Yanming Lake had just been developed at that time, Xinchaorui Real Estate did not have the funds to invest in large-scale commercial office properties. At that time, it was mainly used to cooperate with the sales of Jinlan Garden, so it used the old factory buildings of the Guofu Factory to directly transform them into office or business premises in the Entrepreneurship Park for renting out.

In addition to Xinchaorui Real Estate, Xinchaorui Business is located here. Zheng Wenyuan manages No. 1 Mansion, which is currently managed by Zhou Yuan, is also the most secret and luxurious private club in the business world.

But no matter how nostalgic Chen Li is, it is no longer suitable for office work in Xinchaorui departments. A group of startups invested by Dashang Capital are also accepted by Second and Fourth Gardens in Shangdu. This land and the buildings on the ground are still located in Xinchaorui Real Estate. With the lively hustle and bustle on the east bank of Yanming Lake, although this land is only 100 acres, it is worth 2 billion yuan.

The current situation has not fully utilized the value of this land.

Liu Tongjiang and the others thought of knocking down the Zhongda Guanlan Entrepreneurship Park and building a commercial complex integrating business, office and hotel, with a total of 200,000 square meters.

"As a red brick factory built by the National Cotton Mill in the 1950s and 1960s, there is no need to retain it, but the plan they proposed was rejected by me. In addition to the buildings along Guanlan Commercial Street and No. 1 Mansion on the north, I want to build a Zhongda Natural Science Achievement Exhibition Hall on the south side of the street," Chen Li said. "The problem is that I have to pay for the money to buy this land from the company, which makes your brother scold me and say that I'm too bad - spend one billion to buy land, pay one hundred million to build an exhibition hall, and then donate it to Zhongda. Zhongda thinks it's better to donate 1.1 billion to the school to establish a natural science fund. Otherwise, you can help me with this matter?"

"What's my idea for you?" Zheng Bingyang asked with his lips curled.

"I'm going to help me get back with you, otherwise why would I marry you?" Chen Li patted Zheng Bingyang's butt and said with a smile.

"Chen Li, Chen Li..." Chen Li was about to stuff Liu Tongjiang's plan to Zheng Bingyang, and when he heard He Wan calling him in the office with the joy of a small farewell meeting.

Without waiting for Chen Li to give a hint, He Wan excitedly pushed open the office door. At first, she saw Zheng Bingyang in Chen Li's office, her black eyes rolling on Chen Li and Zheng Bingyang's faces for a moment, but she moved away. She was stunned for a long time before she stammered, "Well, this, I saw your car, and I thought about something to look for you. Bingyang is here, I will go back to the office first, and wait until you get free before talking..."

He Wan ran away in a panic. Chen Li opened a document guiltily, but did not dare to read Zheng Bingyang's reaction.

"Shen Tong said that besides Tang Xiao, there are three vixen beside you. He Wan, Li Meng, Xiang Qiuning, Feng Xin and Gao Can, who are careless, have nothing to do with you - do you think Shen Tong's intuition is right?" Zheng Bingyang walked behind Chen Li, opened his mouth, bit Chen Li's ear and asked softly.

"Listen to Shen Tonghu..." Chen Li naturally wanted to deny it, but turned around and saw Zheng Bingyang's deep and pure beautiful eyes, and even if he wanted to cover up the lies, he could not say.

"Sister He Wan wore so beautiful today. I wonder if she is born to be seductive. I'll ask her where she bought this outfit..." Zheng Bingyang immediately stood up and walked out of the office to find He Wan...

******************************

If you find out where the problem lies, things will be easily solved.

Chen Li pulled Zheng Bingyang to join them and had contacted the negotiator of Shengteng Group twice and touched the other party's bottom. After that, in addition to contacting staff from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assist in verifying the information, Xu Yuanzhou and others also knew investment institutions specializing in investing in European and American securities markets, and could collect some commercial confidential information hidden under the water.

After summarizing the information from multiple aspects, Chen Li confirmed that it was the deterioration of Shengteng Group's financial status in 2010 and half of the year that led to a huge change in attitude towards passenger car joint venture projects.

Shengteng Group itself has great expectations for the mainland Chinese market and passenger car joint venture project with Zhongyuan Bus Group, and even plans to sell its new energy business and automotive electronic control system business to raise funds to ensure the investment in the joint venture project. However, Europe has not been able to completely get rid of the subprime mortgage financial crisis so far. Shengteng Group's business sale plan was temporarily interrupted, so there was no hope of success in the joint venture project until the deadline, so it broke the candle and thought about robbing it.

Dashang Capital proposed to inject capital into Shengteng Group, which is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Shengteng Group, which is in a financial crisis. However, the problem is that, as a listed company in France, Shengteng Group has to go abroad to participate in or control French automobile manufacturing listed companies, and faces too many formal problems, and it may not be discussed for most of the year.

In order to avoid delaying the passenger car joint venture project indefinitely, Chen Li proposed a compromise plan that Shengteng Group borrowed 4 billion yuan of RMB from Chen Li with a mortgage of 50% of the joint venture project to ensure that the passenger car joint venture project is successfully promoted first, and then slowly negotiated Dashang Capital and Chen Li's personal investment in Shengteng Group.

The Guanqi Automobile Manufacturing Base, with a total investment of up to 20 billion, was finally confirmed to be implemented in the Guanlan Industrial Town of Shangdu, and then it was followed by the investment in investment negotiations with Shengteng Group for half a year.

Until the eve of the Spring Festival in 2010, Chen Li joined forces with Yutai Investment of Zhengjia Holdings, and combined with a large amount of funds overflowing from Qingquanguan and small and medium-sized coal mines, and finally established an automobile industry investment fund with a total scale of US$3 billion (of which Chen Li personally accounted for one-third), and participated in the increase in Shengteng Group for one billion US dollars in exchange for 30% of Shengteng Group's shares. At the same time, he invested 1.5 billion US dollars to acquire passenger cars and new energy vehicles subsidiaries under Shengteng Group. In fact, Dashang Capital became the real controller of the passenger car joint venture project. The subsequent main focus is on how to digest Shengteng Group's automobile manufacturing technology and management experience, and in-depth cooperation with other departments of Shengteng Group.

The remaining funds are used to acquire an automobile and control system, merge an intelligent driving technology research and development company into a joint venture, and increase investment in Fengyuan Group and Chuangyuan Technology to increase the research and production of these two companies in special new energy electric vehicles and energy storage power batteries. It is hoped that the output value of Shangdu's automobile manufacturing industry can be increased from tens of billions to tens of billions in three to five years...

During this period, an accident occurred, that is, at the end of December, Chen Li, Zheng Wenyuan took Zhou Bin to France and personally contacted and negotiated with the senior management of Shengteng Group. As Miao Jing was on vacation during that time, she thought about going to Europe for a walk, so she took the same flight with Chen Li, Zhou Bin and Zheng Wenyuan.

When the plane arrived in France, both engines on the left hit the gray geese that was traveling south to the south and shut down. Some engines even had to hang off the wings directly. At that time, they rushed to the extreme airflow, which scared the people of the plane.

After getting off the plane, everyone returned to normal, but they just talked about the danger this time into a topic of discussion.

Miao Jing embarked on a leisure journey alone. Chen Li, Zheng Wenyuan and Zhou Bin, accompanied by staff, checked into the hotel at the representatives negotiated by Shengteng Group. However, after the dinner, Chen Li was about to call everyone to go to the hotel's administrative lounge to continue drinking. Zhou Bin suddenly ran to his room and said seriously: "We have to take a plane when we go back. Maybe we will hang up if we encounter something-I haven't slept in Miao Jing for ten years. Speaking of which, I really think, I think I have to sleep with her before I get on the plane and return to China!"

After saying this, Zhou Bin ignored Chen Li, Zheng Wenyuan, Zhao Yang and others. He packed his bags and called a car, and went straight to chase Miao Jing, who had arrived in another city in France...
