Chapter 1373 Think more positively

"For a compact car with a market price of just over 10 yuan, the battery cost is to yuan, which is really unbearable. The hybrid model you chose is indeed the best choice under the current market conditions." Director Jiang nodded slightly: "Okay, the subsidy is indeed necessary, but what about the others? Do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?"

Zhang Qihang said seriously: "Leader, even if the state provides huge financial subsidies, it actually only solves the problem of 'whether I can afford it'. But for consumers, in addition to 'affordability', there is also a problem of 'why should I buy it?' that needs to be solved.

After all, even if users can afford it, the technology of traditional fuel vehicles is already highly mature, and the repair, maintenance and subsequent use are much cheaper than new energy vehicles. Why should users give up mature and reliable fuel vehicles and choose new energy vehicles? "

"That's really what happened!"

Director Jiang slapped himself on the forehead. In the several internal discussions before this, no one had ever raised this question, but this question was so realistic: Yes, why don’t users buy fuel vehicles and instead choose new energy vehicles?

Don't talk about "environmental protection" and "supporting the country's new energy policy" and other high-sounding words that are out of touch with reality. He knows too well that for the vast majority of ordinary people, what they care about most is the daily necessities of life. As for other high-sounding things, ordinary people basically don't care.

He turned to look at Deputy Director Kang and Tang Changhao: "Old Tang, Old Kang, why do consumers choose fuel vehicles instead of new energy vehicles?"

  Tang Changhao and Deputy Director Kang looked at each other and smiled bitterly: Yes, why should consumers choose new energy vehicles?

Anyway, let them think about it, they will come up with a reason that can make ordinary people do this.

Tang Changhao said to Zhang Qihang helplessly: "Qihang, don't keep us in suspense. Tell me, how do you plan to solve this problem? I know you must have thought about it."

Zhang Qihang nodded obediently: "I do have some ideas. I thought of exempting new energy vehicles from purchase tax and giving them some privileges, such as being able to drive on bus lanes. But then I thought about it carefully and it seems that these methods are not enough to make consumers firmly give up traditional fuel vehicles and choose new energy vehicles."

"That's the truth."

Tang Changhao and the other two all agreed with Zhang Qihang's statement.

"So, the country needs to come up with benefits that consumers cannot refuse at this time," Zhang Qihang said, taking a deep breath: "For example, in those cities with license plate restrictions, consumers are allowed to freely purchase new energy vehicles, and new energy vehicles enjoy special preferential treatment without restrictions.

I believe that relying on the driving force of these cities alone will be enough to enable our country's new energy vehicle industry to smoothly pass the start-up stage."

Tang Changhao, Director Jiang, and Deputy Director Kang all had serious expressions.

They all understood what Zhang Qihang meant. Which cities in China currently have license plate restrictions? Aren't there just a few?

In these cities, if consumers want to buy a car, they either have to wait for a lottery or the local city hall regularly releases a certain number of license plates for local consumers to bid on.

Regardless of whether it is an auction or a lottery, there are strict identity restrictions for bidders/lottery participants. They must either be local residents or have businesses in the local area... In short, there are a lot of restrictions.

If we really do as Zhang Qihang said, and allow users in these cities with license plate and number restrictions to buy new energy vehicles at will, and there is no restriction on the number of vehicles, it is estimated that there is a great possibility that the consumption capacity of these cities will be used to drive the initial development of the battery industry and new energy vehicles.

You know, these cities are all first-tier cities in China and have the strongest consumption capacity in the country.

Thinking of this, Director Jiang and Deputy Director Kang found themselves actually moved.

"Oh, right," Zhang Qihang suddenly slapped his head and added, "I suggest that hybrid cars can only be sold as energy-saving cars in these cities. This can greatly increase the chances of winning the lottery, but you still have to participate in the lottery or auction. If traditional hybrid cars are also sold as new energy vehicles in these cities, then plug-in hybrid cars and pure electric cars will not have to be sold."

  That’s really what happened!

Director Jiang and Deputy Director Kang had never thought of this before. Now that Zhang Qihang reminded them of this, they both felt sweat on their backs - if this had not been considered from the beginning, I am afraid that new energy vehicles might not be able to develop in these cities.

Director Jiang quickly adjusted his mood, smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Comrade Qihang, your ideas are indeed good. How about coming to our department to take up a position?"

After Director Jiang stopped talking, Deputy Director Kang's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "That's right, Comrade Qihang, why don't you come over and be my secretary for a while. Once you're familiar with the job, tell me where you want to go and I'll arrange it for you."

  What?

Zhang Qihang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked at Tang Changhao.

Tang Changhao got angry instantly: "Lao Jiang, I'm telling you, don't even think about it! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You'd better give up on that idea."

Seeing that Tang Changhao had no intention of letting him go, Director Jiang and Deputy Director Kang had no choice but to give up their thoughts and complained unhappily: "If you are not happy, then you are not happy. You are so stingy... Comrade Qihang, how about you reconsider it?" "Thank you for your appreciation of me," Zhang Qihang also reacted. He first thanked Director Jiang and Deputy Director Kang, and then said: "However, the units where the two leaders are located need more versatile people who are familiar with the overall situation. As for me, I can only be regarded as having some understanding of the automotive industry, so I'd better stay here honestly. It's the same no matter where I work."

Although Zhang Qihang spoke very tactfully, Director Jiang and Deputy Director Kang still heard it. Zhang Qihang was determined not to go.

Yes, the unit where the two of them work is certainly the best unit for some people, but it may not be a good thing for Zhang Qihang. If he stands too high without a foundation, it is easy to feel lonely!

Thinking of this, Director Jiang looked at Zhang Qihang with regret and said, "Well, since Comrade Qihang doesn't want to go, forget it. But next time you go to Jingcheng for a meeting, remember to come and sit with me."

"Okay, I will definitely report my work to the two leaders!"

..............................

After coming out of Tang Changhao’s office, Zhang Qihang discovered that his back was wet!

  Yes, this is facing a three-dimensional super boss, how can I not be nervous?

After taking a few deep breaths to adjust his mood, Zhang Qihang took out his phone and called Secretary Old Feng: "Grandpa, I'll be at your place in half an hour. There's something we need to discuss."

Although he didn't know what had happened, just by hearing Zhang Qihang's serious tone, Mr. Feng knew that it must be a big deal. He immediately responded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Although there is a meeting in half an hour, it seems that this meeting can be postponed now.

"Jianguo, what happened? I heard your tone seems to be a little off."

Half an hour later, in Mr. Feng's office, the old man looked at Zhang Qihang with concern, and quickly poured him a glass of water while speaking.

Zhang Qihang smiled bitterly and said, "After a while...it shouldn't be long before Xifei will take over our aviation business, including the turbofan engine business, turboshaft engine business, and tilt-rotor aircraft project. From now on, our group can only retain the UAV project, light helicopter project, and piston aircraft engine business."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Feng was immediately shocked: "Why... why? We have worked so hard to develop these businesses. We thought about handing them over at the beginning, but no one wanted them at that time. How come they are suddenly being taken away overnight?"

Now he understood why Zhang Qihang was in such a state. If it were him, his condition would definitely be worse than Zhang Qihang's.

"It seems like there are some major adjustments to be made. I didn't dare to ask what exactly happened," Zhang Qihang said, pointing to the top of his head. He added, "I rushed over after receiving a call from Leader Tang. I met Director Jiang and Deputy Director Kang in his office. They told me about this matter directly..."

Zhang Qihang was called to Tang Changhao’s office by a phone call?

Director Jiang and Deputy Director Kang?

After working for so many years and hearing this, Mr. Feng knew that the matter had been settled and there would be no chance of any repetition or change.

He sighed helplessly: "Okay..."

  Seeing Mr. Feng's expression, Zhang Qihang advised: "Old man, please think more positively. Anyway, the higher-ups have already made a decision. Can we, with our weak arms and legs, really compete with the powerful ones?

Besides, the businesses taken away are also the least profitable businesses in our group, so it is a good thing that they were taken away.

Moreover, when we first started the aeroengine business, we also wanted to make a contribution to the country's aviation industry. It is not a bad thing to hand it over now, and it can be regarded as the fulfillment of our original dream."

Facing Zhang Qihang's constant comfort, what else could Mr. Feng say? Since the matter is irreversible, it is better to accept it frankly. He smiled bitterly and nodded, "I understand what you mean. Don't comfort me. I am about to retire. What else can I be worried about? But you, Qihang, I hope you really let it go."

Having said this, he sighed silently.
