Chapter 68 Preparations for Tesla China(1/2)
Hongqiao Airport, Starbucks.
As noon approached, the attendance rate was not too high. Wang Shanshan was about to take turns to have lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a noise outside.
She is not unfamiliar with this situation, and most of the time it was a star who showed up.
As one of the national hub airports, it is not rare for celebrities to be here.
And the current trend is that more and more celebrities regard the airport as the best exposure place, and all kinds of dresses without silver here are to attract everyone's attention.
As an old employee, to be honest, she and her colleagues are now quite indifferent to such noise.
However, the movement today seems a bit big, as if Jay Chou is here.
I don’t know how much money this star’s team spent to buy fans to watch today.
She and her colleague shook their heads, "Let's go,"
"Why does it seem to be coming to us?" the colleague said in confusion.
"It seems to be true," as soon as they walked to the door, they saw a large number of people flocking to the crowd with a few men and women.
Who is that? It’s not the Jay Chou I like - because Jay Chou is not that tall.
"That's it," she heard the tall young man wearing sunglasses say.
Wang Shanshan and her colleagues quickly gave in to the side and let the people in.
Then, seven or eight people stood at the door, isolated the excited people who were following them outside the store.
This is obviously a bodyguard, and there are several foreigners among the bodyguards. Which star is this? I have such a big stand and I don’t know her? She looked at the people who sat down.
But my colleague was already very excited, "Feng Yiping, Feng Yiping!"
"Well, ah?" Wang Shanshan looked at the other person sitting at the table and taking off her sunglasses was Feng Yiping?
The colleague grabbed her hand and said, "I read that right, is it Feng Yiping?"
"How could he come to us?"
Yes, Wang Shanshan also found it strange that Feng Shunfu, who has always been the richest man who has never seen his head and nodded, would come to their store to have coffee?
He occasionally had a cup of coffee at other branches in the city, and he could still imagine it, but he always flew around in his own plane. Here, even when he was waiting for the plane, he was still in the VIP room. In theory, he would never visit their store.
But he was here.
The customers in the store who were originally a little depressed will be very excited, but no one has the courage to come over to chat with you. Most people will take out their mobile phones to take photos, which is a rare opportunity.
Wang Shanshan, who also felt so lucky, hurriedly placed all the few people in the store, including Wang Shanshan, at the door to maintain order. He took the menu and walked towards Feng Yiping's table with a dizzy look, "Mr. Feng, welcome, what do you want to drink?"
"Where are you?" Feng Yiping asked Jin Ling and the others.
"Mocha," "Matcha Frappuccino,"...
"I want a latte, thank you!"
"Okay, OK, wait a moment, it's fine soon," Wang Shanshan and the store manager were so frizzy that he was just like a newcomer who had just joined the company, and he was speechless.
Jin Ling glanced outside the door and the people around him were not as fanatical as those stars' fans. After all, Feng Yiping was not those cultural and sports stars.
But there are more and more people gathering outside the door, and the media is gradually increasing.
"I've said a long time ago, don't come here," Jin Ling complained in a low voice.
But in fact, she was still a little happy.
She was actually quite happy to appear in public in such a non-business occasion with Feng Yiping.
"You can't isolate me from the world, right?" Feng Yiping looked up, and the flash immediately flashed.
Jin Ling looked at the watch, "Before we received Eberhard, I guess there will be no fewer people coming,"
"What's the matter? Look, everyone abides by order, right?" Feng Yiping said.
"I'm not talking about this," Jin Ling said.
At this time, the crowd at the door separated to both sides, and a few people in suits and ties hurried in with a few policemen.
"I'm talking about them," Jin Ling looked at the middle-aged men in suits and tie.
"Hello, Mr. Feng, hello, Mr. Jin," the middle-aged man who was sweating on his forehead bent down and stretched out his hands. "I am the airport manager, Mr. Feng, Mr. Jin, how many people should I move and sit in our VIP room?"
"Mr. Jiang," Fang Yingzhi knew this, "A colleague from the United States arrived about half an hour later. We just waited here, so there would be no trouble."
Feng Yiping stood up and said, "Mr. Jiang, are we here causing trouble to the airport?"
"Or, go to the car?" he asked Jin Ling.
"No trouble, no trouble," Mr. Jiang said immediately, "It's no problem here, it's also our honor."
"Director Fang, what flight is the VIP in the United States? I will arrange someone and take him over as soon as possible."
Feng Yiping is here, to be honest, it really puts some pressure on their airport.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, we are waiting for Tesla's CEO..."
Looking at the airport executives and hurriedly left, there were a few more policemen at the door. Jin Ling said, "I'll tell me,"
Feng Yiping saw the accusation of his willfulness in her eyes.
"This is the first time Eberhard has come to China. The time we arrived is so short apart. Of course, we have to wait for him," said Feng Yiping.
He looked at the tables around him, and perfectly separated the lucky customers in the store, and said in a low voice, "Even in the next negotiations, we should also show our importance to Eberhard," he said.
Jin Ling shook her head, "Your abacus is always slapped, but," she also looked around, knowing that under the barrier of her own people, especially the noise at the door, it made it impossible for other people in the store to hear what they were talking about. She deliberately lowered her voice, "What I appreciate more is your luck,"
"I really think your luck is really extraordinary now."
"Last year, the city wanted to talk to us about this issue, but you kept dragging it back and didn't expect that you would avoid such a big trouble,"
In fact, it is hard to say it is a troublesome, but he is the former main person in charge of this most well-known city in China and has been officially investigated and punished.
This is also one of the most shocking news that has caused the Chinese people in recent months.
If we had negotiated with the city about Tesla China's plan last year, I believe this will have some impact on the conditions that have been negotiated.
"Yes, I think I'm lucky, too," said Feng Yiping.
But he believed that Jin Ling could not imagine how lucky they were at this time, because Jin Ling didn't know what the newly-performed person in charge in the city meant.
"But, do you really decide to build the factory here?"
"Of course not, we naturally have to compare the preferential conditions given by various places," said Feng Yiping.
But he believed that he would be more generous on similar conditions.
After all, the factory he planned to build is a cooperation with the world's first high-end pure electric vehicle manufacturer.
It is also for this reason that Jiasheng was particularly smooth when he obtained a car production license last year.
Now that air pollution is becoming increasingly severe, the production of pure electric vehicles has many positive significance.
It is completely foreseeable that in the future, new energy vehicles, including pure electric vehicles, will definitely be the focus of the development of the automotive industry.
Therefore, it is very pleasant to make Tesla look like it is the highest-end in the world, both in terms of products and technologies. It can be said that it is the industry-leading electric vehicle. It is a matter that the competent authorities are very happy to have it in production in China.
Because this will be very helpful to the development of electric vehicles in China.
This place was originally a strong automobile market, and they probably wouldn't want to miss Tesla, which represents the future development trend of the automobile industry.
However, it is not ruled out that other provinces and cities will have more preferential conditions. After all, putting aside Tesla's implementation and driving the local related industries, such a manufacturing plant will at least mean an investment of US$1 billion.
Of course, Feng Yiping felt that as long as the conditions given here were above the average level, he would still tend to build a factory here.
This includes future export considerations, as well as the strong financial strength here, the subsidies that can be provided for pure electric vehicles, and the strong purchasing power here.
However, these words cannot be said now.
The interests of the company and the interests of local governments cannot be consistent.
Just as I said to Lao Ma, business is business, and he must first consider the interests of the company.
This is also why he asked Eberhard to come in person.
Some questions were asked to talk about Eberhard first, but in fact, he would raise his conditions and then make compromises later.
"This time I didn't handle it well, and the province may have any objections to you," said Jin Ling.
This is indeed a problem. They save money and have good results in the automotive sector.
Jin Lingcha felt that he had no intention of putting Tesla in the province.
"It's not that there is no solution. I think if it develops well, we can invest in a second factory in China, right?"
"Your confidence is really not that strong," said Jin Ling.
"Of course, at least in the field of high-end pure electric vehicles, Tesla will always be in the lead for a long time in the future,"
Fang Yingzhi stood up, "Amberhard is here,"
Sure enough, there was another commotion at the door. Aberhard, wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, squeezed in through the passage between the police and the security, accompanied by several airport executives.
"Feng," he shouted happily.
"Welcome to Eberhard," Feng Yiping hugged him, "This is losing weight again, you can't lose weight anymore,"
