Chapter 681
PS: Sorry guys, I overslept.

------------

Yes, before this, Sun Junrong really didn't expect that Zhang Qihang's ambitions would be so big. He was not satisfied with making money, but wanted to gain a greater say in the joint venture.

If someone else had said this to him, Sun Junrong would have sprayed him back angrily: I can’t even get enough to eat, and I still think about it all day long!

But since Zhang Qihang said this, Sun Junrong has nothing to say. A tertiary production unit that couldn't even pay wages, in Zhang Qihang's hands, turned from loss to profit in just a few months. It took a long time to achieve annual sales of hundreds of millions. Now it has only been more than 3 years, and now the annual sales are several billion. In front of such people, is it too much for them to pursue a little higher?

Moreover, Sun Junrong knows that there are precedents for Zhang Qihang's strength. In the process of cooperating with Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, and Isuzu, the three Japanese companies, Huateng Industrial Group has always maintained sufficient strength. With such an example before, Zhang Qihang's reluctance to cooperate with Honda seems to be reasonable.

But since that's the case...

Sun Junrong's heart suddenly moved, and he tentatively asked Zhang Qihang: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Zhang, and I can understand your choice, Mr. Zhang, but I have a question..."

Zhang Qihang nodded cheerfully: "If you have any questions, just ask Director Sun."

"Then I won't be polite," Sun Junrong nodded slightly: "Since Mr. Zhang, you have such a good relationship with Mitsubishi and Isuzu, why don't you think of a way to introduce a car from Mitsubishi or Isuzu?"

Sun Junrong is not the only one who is curious about this question. There are also many people in the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation who are also curious about it: You Zhang Qihang has introduced two extremely popular products from Mitsubishi and Isuzu, so here comes the problem. , since you Zhang Qihang can import DELICA L400 "land business class" commercial vehicle from Mitsubishi, and GALA "Road Star" luxury bus from Isuzu, why don't you want to import cars from Mitsubishi or Isuzu?

I have to say that some comrades are really obsessed with producing cars.

Regarding Sun Junrong's question, Zhang Qihang was not surprised either. He nodded with a smile: "Actually, I thought about it too, but we discussed it with our Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation before, but the result was not very satisfactory..."

"..."

Before Zhang Qihang finished speaking, Sun Junrong was already embarrassed!

Embarrassed what?
What is embarrassing is the qualification of Huateng Industrial Group.

Indeed, as early as last year, Zhang Qihang negotiated with the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation, hoping that the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation can help Huateng Industrial Group apply for the production qualification with the prefix "7", because in China , only the production qualification with the prefix "7" can produce cars.

It's just that the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation at that time was extremely arrogant. Facing the request of Huateng Industrial Group, the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation was even lazy to perfunctory, and directly said, "You guys also want to apply 7 production qualifications?" It was blocked back.

I really didn't expect it, the retribution is not good, that's right, this matter has already been retribution to the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation: We don't even have the qualification to produce a car, now what are you talking to me about?
But no matter how embarrassing, at this moment, what should be said has to be said, Sun Junrong had no choice but to say: "This... If Huateng Industrial Group still wants to apply for the production qualification with the prefix 7, the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation can still do it. Help."

"Really?" Zhang Qihang immediately asked: "Can our head office guarantee the application? How long will it take?"

How can this kind of problem be mastered by him, Sun Junrong?Sun Junrong didn't expect Zhang Qihang to be so straightforward, so he could only stammer: "This... this... the province will try its best to help you fight for it..."

"Is that so..."

Zhang Qihang sighed with a look of disappointment: "But when will we be able to win this qualification? One year? Two years? Or three years? Especially at this critical moment, how can you be sure that we will apply for the qualification? At that time, won't Changan, Hafei, Nanjing Auto, GAC and other qualified units stand in the way?"

Sun Junrong was speechless again.

Yes, not to mention GAC, NAC, Changan, and Hafei, which have the production qualifications for cars with the prefix '7', so they don't need to apply at all. It's just that everyone is striving for this cooperation with Honda. When the opportunity arises, why do you think that these four companies will not interfere when Huateng Industrial Group applies for the qualification of car production?

If Huateng Industrial Group doesn't even have a car production qualification, why should Honda cooperate with Huateng Industrial Group?

It is conceivable that when Honda Motor knew that Huateng Industrial Group did not even have the qualifications to produce cars, they would not discuss cooperation with Lu Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation at all.

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

After Sun Junrong, who returned home in a hurry, reported the situation, the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly reported the situation to a leader in the province who had been concerned about this matter.

After listening to the report of the head of the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation, the leader was quite surprised: "Huateng Group doesn't even have the qualifications for automobile production?"

"Huateng Group's production qualification, but they hold the passenger car production qualification with the prefix 6," the head of the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation quickly explained to the leader: "The cars they are producing now use this qualification, but this The qualifications cannot produce small cars."

"That's it." Knowing what was going on, the leader was rather regretful: "That is to say, it is unlikely that we want to introduce Honda?"

"It's like this," the head of the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation said honestly: "The fact that Huateng Group has no qualifications for car production cannot be hidden from anyone. Even if Honda Motor does not know, companies such as GAC, Changan, and Nanjing Will definitely tell them about the situation...It is also a good thing to try to get a potential opponent out."

The leader nodded and stopped talking.

He also understood the meaning of the unspoken words of the comrade of the Provincial Automobile Industry Corporation: If the Huateng Industrial Group does not get involved, that’s all. , Nanjing Automobile will definitely tell Honda Motor the news that Huateng Industrial Group does not have the qualification for car production as soon as possible, so that Honda will directly give up contact with Huateng Industrial Group.

Thinking of this, the leader immediately felt extremely regretful.

------------

Knowing that Huateng Industrial Group has no qualifications for a joint venture with Honda Motor, for the arrival of Toshio Yoshino (from now on Yoshino Hao@行 will be called Toshio Yoshino), the leaders of Lu Province suddenly seem to be more Buddhist, but facing Lu The provincial side seems to be enthusiastic but not difficult to detect the lack of interest. Toshio Yoshino is also confused: This is completely different from the attitude of the Chinese government towards foreign businessmen that I have heard. What is the problem?
You know, in the plan that Toshio Yoshino had drawn up before, he used the opportunity of Lu Province@government's wish to form a joint venture with Honda Motor to put pressure on Huateng Industrial Group, but the attitude of the local government of Lu Province made Toshio Yoshino a little bit I can't figure out the situation...

Fortunately, although Toshio Yoshino is not familiar with China's national conditions, the head of Honda Motor China's general manager Yamada Ichiro who accompanied him to Lu Province is an out-and-out China expert. After realizing that the situation was wrong, Toshio Yoshino immediately Ask Yamada Ichiro: "Yamada-kun, you are a well-known Huaxia expert of Honda Motor, there is something I want to ask."

"Your Excellency, you are really too polite," Yamada Ichiro was immediately flattered, and quickly said: "If you have any questions, just ask, I will know everything and talk about everything."

Yoshino Toshio was not polite, and asked directly: "That's right, although this is the first time I have come to Huaxia, I have said a lot about the attitude of the Huaxia government towards our Dongying enterprises before, but today I feel that the Huaxia government It seems that we are not enthusiastic enough, is this normal?"

"Hai!" Yamada Ichiro bowed to Toshio Yoshino, then frowned and said to Toshio Yoshino: "Yes, I have noticed this too, based on what I know about the Chinese government, this situation is absolutely unacceptable." normal."

"Then why did this happen?" Yoshino Toshio frowned, becoming more and more puzzled: "Yamada-kun, I don't mean to blame you, but please give me an answer as soon as possible, which is directly related to our relationship with this time. The result of Zhang Jun's meeting."

"Private race!" Yamada Ichiro was taken aback immediately, and quickly asked, "I'm really sorry for making such a big mistake in my work, but is it so serious?"

"Yes," Toshio Yoshino explained to Ichiro Yamada without hiding the truth: "As far as I know, the Mr. Zhang we are about to deal with is a government official, so in my plan, I plan to pass the The government of Lu Province came to put pressure on this Mr. Zhang, but now the attitude of the @government of Lu Province..."

Yamada Ichiro's forehead began to sweat.

Before this, although he was a little doubtful about the attitude of Yulu Province@政府, he didn’t think too much about it. But after learning about Toshio Yoshino’s plan, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem: it is directly related to Honda Motor Can you get what you want?

"This is really serious!" Yamada Ichiro did not dare to neglect, and immediately said to Toshio Yoshino: "I will immediately arrange for someone to investigate and see what is wrong."

"Well..." Yoshino Toshio nodded: "Hurry up!"

"Hay!"

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

Yamada Ichiro is indeed capable. Soon, he found out what he wanted, and hurried to report to Toshio Yoshino...

"Nani?!"

After listening to Ichiro Yamada report why Lu Province's @government's attitude towards him is completely different from what he has heard, Toshio Yoshino couldn't believe his ears, thinking that this is simply the most outrageous thing in the world: " Just because Zhang Jun’s company doesn’t have the qualifications to produce cars?”

Ichiro Yamada smiled wryly and explained to Toshio Yoshino: "It's not that Mr. Zhang's company doesn't have the qualifications to produce cars, it's that it doesn't have the qualifications to produce cars."

"Is there any difference?" Hearing what Ichiro Yamada said, Toshio Yoshino became more and more puzzled: "There is a qualification for producing cars, but not cars. What's the reason?"

After all, Ichiro Yamada has worked in China for several years, and he has a good understanding of China's national conditions, especially the national conditions of China's auto industry. It’s really unreasonable, but that’s what the Chinese government stipulates, and the Chinese government’s management of the auto industry is not like ours in Japan, Millikin, or Europe, they implement a car production qualification system.”

Yoshino Toshio frowned, and said to Yamada Ichiro: "Yamada-kun, please explain in more detail."

"Hay!"

Ichiro Yamada paused, and explained honestly: "After Huaxia's automobile production qualification, in simple terms, your company can only produce cars with whatever qualification it has obtained. A company can obtain several different production qualifications. , then they can produce several types of cars, but if they have only one qualification, then they can only produce one type of car..."

Speaking of this, Ichiro Yamada looked up at Toshio Yoshino, and seeing that he was serious, he explained more carefully: "In this management method of Huaxia, obtaining the qualification of '1' means that this company can produce trucks , such as the cars produced by China's First Automobile Factory, the models are CA10, CA140, etc.;

Automobile manufacturers that have obtained the qualification of '2' can produce off-road vehicles, such as the 212 Jeep produced by China's Capital Automobile Factory, the model is 212;

With the qualification of '6', passenger cars can be produced, including small passenger cars such as Toyota HIACE, and large luxury road buses such as Isuzu GALA that can carry dozens of guests..."

"So that's the case," Toshio Yoshino nodded repeatedly, and at the same time asked Ichiro Yamada curiously: "So, does Mr. Zhang's Huateng Group possess this qualification?"

"Yes."

Toshio Yoshino became more and more curious, and continued to ask: "So what kind of qualifications are needed to produce cars?"

"Qualifications starting with '7' are required," Ichiro Yamada explained, "For example, the 'Dahongqi' car produced by Huaxia's First Automobile Factory is code-named CA72, and the small car produced by Modu Automobile Factory is code-named SH760. ...I guess, the reason why the officials in Shandong Province are not as enthusiastic about you as you imagined is probably because Huateng Industrial Group only has the production qualification starting with '6', but not the production qualification starting with '7'. They know very well that we Honda won't work with them, so..."

"So it is."

When he said these words, Yoshino Toshio was full of regret in his understanding.
