Chapter 1848 The icing on the cake
In the early morning of the second day after the banquet, Duan Yun, who had not yet opened his eyes, was awakened by a rush of phone calls, so he immediately sat up and picked up the phone.

As for the mobile phone in the room is a private call, only his assistant Guo Kai, his family and closest business partners know the number, so no matter how busy he is, he will answer the call.

But this time the person who called him was none other than Yang Shoucheng, his business partner in Hong Kong. During the call, Yang Shoucheng told Duan Yun that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange had passed all the approvals for Jinbei Automobile Factory to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange overnight. It can be officially listed and issued in mid-June at the earliest.

Hearing this news, Duan Yun was obviously very excited, because listing Jinbei Automobile was an important step in his layout of the automobile industry. Once Jinbei Automobile was listed in Hong Kong, it meant that Jinbei Automobile would receive a huge amount of foreign investment. Injection, which has also been connected to the international financial market by Duan Yun's Volvo project.

In fact, after interacting with the final payment of the Volvo car project, Duan Yun's capital flow is already very limited. His expert team has made an assessment before, if he wants Volvo cars to reach an annual output of 10 vehicles, and follow-up new models At least 50-80 billion investment is needed for the research and development of the technology. After hearing this figure, the factory director Zhao Xiyou and the mayor of SY City Wu Disheng shook their heads again and again, expressing that this is simply impossible.

So when the three of them met for dinner, they decided to temporarily reduce the output and slow down the development of Jinbei Automobile. This was also due to the lack of funds. After all, the purchase cost of various raw materials is also very high. There are only production lines and equipment but no raw materials. , It is also impossible to build a car out of thin air.

In addition, the SY city government is still very open about Jinbei Automobile Factory seeking to go public, because when Jinbei Automobile Factory initially issued shares in China, it originally had an empty-handed plan, but now it has finally done so. With a big funder like Duan Yun coming, it would be great if he could continue to play tricks on Hong Kong. Both Duan Yun and the SY city government could benefit greatly from it.

Back then, Yang Rong, the boss of Brilliance Automobile, used to operate Jinbei Automobile to go public in the United States. That listing raised nearly 9 million US dollars for Jinbei Automobile. With sufficient development funds, it has gradually become one of the most influential automobile companies in the three northeastern provinces.

As for Duan Yun's IPO in Hong Kong this time, judging from the original evaluation, the benefits will definitely be far greater than Yang Rong's IPO in the United States, especially the Volvo 940 sedan has become a government official vehicle, and his risky The crash test done and all kinds of good news will quickly increase the stock price in a short period of time.

Duan Yun also discussed with the SY city government before, they intend to give up 15% of the shares each, that is, to issue 30% of the shares in the Hong Kong stock market, which is just higher than the Hong Kong stock market’s prohibition on public offering of shares for newly listed companies Below the 25% requirement, the right to speak of Duan Yun and Jinbei Automobile Factory is preserved to the greatest extent.

In fact, to go public in Hong Kong, for Duan Yun, the most important thing for him is not the skyrocketing price of the Jinbei stock he holds in his hand, but the funds raised so that Jinbei Automobile can have enough funds to enter the fast lane of development, thereby driving related parts. The growth and sales of the industry, most of the supporting companies are Duan Yun's newly established Tianyin Automobile Holdings, which makes profits through the sale of parts, especially key parts with high added value. This is Duan Yun's greatest interest.

On the phone, Yang Shoucheng told Duan Yun that he, the director of Jinbei Automobile Factory, and relevant leaders of SY City should go to Hong Kong to go to Hong Kong to go through the follow-up procedures of the listed company. He will participate in the gong-beating ceremony for the listing of Jinbei Motors on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Duan Yun thanked Yang Shoucheng on the phone, and Yang Shoucheng also invited Duan Yun again, hoping that he could come to his home as a guest after he arrived in Hong Kong, and Duan Yun readily agreed.

Just when Duan Yun was preparing to plan the final matters of Jinbei's listing, the SY city government also held an internal meeting to discuss matters related to Jinbei Automobile.

In this internal meeting, Qifeng, the leader of Liaoning Province, issued an internal resolution, requiring the government departments of 14 prefecture-level cities and 16 county-level cities in the province to give priority to purchasing Volvo cars for official vehicles. It also mentioned that the industrial and mining enterprises in the province should purchase Volvo F10 trucks as much as possible, and strive to gradually replace the Jiefang and Huanghe Steyr trucks commonly used by these enterprises within three years.

This is not the first time that the provincial government has used administrative means to help companies sell cars. In fact, from the 1s to the 80s, after Volkswagen built a factory in Shanghai, Shanghai also used administrative means to purchase a large number of cars. At present, most of the official vehicles in Jilin Province are also Audi 90 produced by FAW. As the saying goes, the fat and water do not flow to outsiders' fields, and this is actually the truth.

The main reason why the Liaoning Provincial Government did not use administrative means to order other cities and counties in the province to purchase Volvo cars was that this car had just entered the country and was not well known, and people didn’t know much about its performance. The price is very expensive, which has exceeded the purchase price range of official vehicles, and belongs to the Liaoning Provincial Government and cannot operate in violation of regulations.

But now, with the mass production of the Volvo 940 sedan in Shenyang, and Duan Yun’s live broadcast of live car collisions that caused a sensation across the country, the Liaoning Provincial Government has already seen the signs that the Jinbei Automobile Factory is about to become a climate. At present, the Volvo 940 sedan has been sold nationwide It has become the most popular and topical model, with good quality and safety has been recognized by the Chinese people, so seeing that the time is ripe, the Liaoning Provincial Government is naturally willing to help key enterprises in the province to do something to fuel the flames.

In this world, there are few people who give charcoal in the snow, but there is never a shortage of people who make the icing on the cake.

Duan Yun's live broadcast of a car collision with his life-threatening car has become a key turning point in its layout of the automobile industry.

In addition to the administrative resolution proposed by the Liaoning Provincial Government to purchase buses, Tianyin Group received calls from dozens of member dealers in the next two days, expressing their willingness to invest in the construction of Volvo Cars 4S in their provinces and cities. This also makes the Volvo Car 4S stores under construction by Tianyin Group in the country from the initial few to more than 40, covering areas from south to north, and once these 4S stores are completed, it means a period of time Cloud has the largest car sales and maintenance after-sales network in the country.
