Chapter 1652 Disagreement
After visiting the Shenyang High-tech Development Zone, Duan Yun’s plans for the local market have been settled. From the current point of view, Shenyang is worthy of being a heavy industry base in Northeast China. The relevant resources and supporting facilities are relatively complete. There is no problem in setting up a factory here. of.

Now the biggest problem for Duan Yun is how to raise the 5.4 million US dollars of funds, which is a great challenge for him.

Tianyin Group is currently able to get 1.5 million US dollars of funds with all its efforts, and the remaining nearly 4 million US dollars, he still needs to find another way, but judging from the current situation, things are not optimistic.

After visiting the Nanhu Science and Technology Development Zone in Shenyang, Duan Yun flew directly back to Shenzhen.

"You want to spend 5.4 million US dollars to buy a second-hand foreign car production line, am I right?" After hearing her husband's plan, Cheng Qingyan was stunned in surprise.

In fact, Cheng Qingyan is also aware of the purchase of Volvo production lines, but based on his previous understanding of the domestic auto industry, the introduction of a foreign production line usually costs tens of millions of dollars, including the Santana car production line of Shanghai Volkswagen. In the end, it only cost 3 million U.S. dollars. Originally, Cheng Qingyan thought that Duan Yun would spend tens of millions of U.S. dollars at most, and hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars would be enough, but she didn't expect the amount to be so exaggerated.

5.4 million U.S. dollars is simply an astronomical figure, even for the rich and powerful Tianyin Group, it is an unbearable amount of foreign exchange funds.

"What we are buying this time is a car production line with international advanced standards. In addition to the assembly line, there are also production line equipment and related technologies for the three major powertrains of the car. In addition, we can also obtain Volvo's brand authorization in mainland China. , if calculated in this way, 5.4 million US dollars is not an exaggerated quotation." Duan Yun said.

"But the question is how can our company have so much foreign exchange?" Cheng Qingyan frowned slightly, and then said: "In the past few years, the company's normal expenses have been removed, and there is only less than 1 million US dollars left, but this is far less than the foreign exchange use." Big, what I need is to invest in real estate in Hong Kong, and you also need to use this money to maintain the operation of overseas branches, even if you take all of it away, you still don’t know half of the price quoted by others, do you think this business can still be done?”

Cheng Qingyan obviously feels that this deal with Volvo is a bit out of touch with reality. After all, the company does not have a lot of liquidity that can be embezzled. In the past few years, it has only saved less than 2 million US dollars. In addition, the company still has more than 13 billion yuan in its account. If all of them are converted into U.S. dollars, according to the current foreign exchange rate of 1:7.5 on the Shenzhen Foreign Exchange Exchange, it can only be exchanged for less than 2 million U.S. dollars, but the money in the account is to maintain the normal operation of domestic companies, and at most only half of it can be used , that is, in exchange for 1 million U.S. dollars. If calculated in this way, the total foreign exchange that Tianyin Group can collect is only 2.7 million U.S. dollars, which is exactly half of the quotation.

Of course, all the assets of Tianyin Group are more than that, but most of them are fixed assets, especially Cheng Qingyan's real estate in the mainland and Hong Kong, which can be worth more than 60 billion yuan conservatively, but these fixed assets cannot be converted into cash in the short term Yes, and these are Cheng Qingyan's long-term investments. Considering the current rapid rise in the real estate market, she doesn't plan to sell in the short term.

"Qingyan, you also know that building a car has always been my dream, but if we start from scratch and develop and produce it by our own strength, I am afraid it will take more than ten years or even decades of long-term investment to catch up. Internationally advanced level." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "But this time is different, if we can spend the 5.4 million US dollars, we can directly obtain the internationally advanced automobile production line and related technologies, which can be said to be a step forward. In place, from then on, our Tianyin Group has owned the largest and most advanced automobile manufacturing plant in China, and with policies and trade protection, we can gain a firm foothold in the domestic automobile market for a long time..."

"Are you thinking things too ideally? Even if you build a car, will someone really buy it?" At this time, Cheng Qingyan shook her head lightly, and then said: "I don't know much about the automobile industry Not as deep as yours, but it is relatively familiar. As early as many years ago, I did relevant analysis. With the current spending power of ordinary people, most people can’t afford a car in their lifetime. However, in In foreign countries, cars are common consumer goods, so unless you can get a large number of export orders for your car, otherwise, you won’t be able to sell much in a year. It is unimaginably difficult to recover the investment of 5.4 million U.S. dollars... "

In fact, Cheng Qingyan also has a certain objective understanding of the domestic automobile market. He understands the current production situation of domestic automobiles. Many automobile companies that have been established for more than ten years or even decades have accumulated technology and policy support for such a long time. It is difficult to move forward, and it is impossible to sell a few cars a year.

Although imported cars are very popular in China, most of them are official vehicles purchased by the government, and most of them are purchased by ordinary citizens in the name of companies. Relatively speaking, Japanese and German cars are very popular, but Volvo Cars are not very well-known in China. Few people would choose such a Swedish car brand with similarly priced models.

"Imported car brands are indeed good, but they may not understand the needs of Chinese people." Duan Yun tried his best to convince his wife, but he continued: "I understand the things you said, but I think domestic cars still have It has great potential for development, and if this production line is successful, it is likely to become the backbone of Tianyin Group's future industry..."

"But……"

"As long as I can introduce their technology and digest and absorb it, I am confident that I can develop a car model that best suits the needs of Chinese people. In terms of localized design, we have an advantage..." Duan Yun said.

"It seems that you have already made up your mind?" Cheng Qingyan said.

Cheng Qingyan naturally knows her husband very well, and she also knows that as long as it is something her husband believes, it will be difficult to change.

"Yes, I think the introduction of the Volvo production line is a major opportunity for us in our lives. If we can seize the opportunity, we will become a Chinese auto giant in the future. But if we miss this opportunity, God may not be here. This is the second time to take care of us." Duan Yun said seriously.

"But the problem is that our group doesn't have that much money now, what are you going to do?" Cheng Qingyan asked.
