Chapter 380: 60 Billion Yuan Staked on Future, the Tianxuan Operating System Enters Internal Testing
"30 billion???" Wang Fang couldn't help but frowned, questioning in her tone.
They were loaned 30 billion, why would charging piles and sales channels cost so much money?
Masik and Modu officially borrowed 40 billion because they wanted to build Tesla's super factory in Modu.
Besides, Tesla is a foreign company, and the headquarters only provides technical support.
This is like joining a milk tea shop. The headquarters only provides technical support. You need to buy the shop and hire employees yourself. The initial investment and expenditure are naturally large because everything needs to be re-arranged.
But Longxing Group is a local company, and Wang Fang also inquired that Chen Xing, together with Lei Jun and Ren Guofei, acquired the Longhua production plant of Brilliance Group, which is not far from the capital.
If according to the actual operation model, if you want to build a production plant, there must be one automobile production plant in the north and south, right?
The other leaders in the meeting room also couldn't understand it, but they didn't speak, because they had discussed it before coming, and Wang Fang would come forward to talk with Chen Xing, and they were just here to listen.
"That's right, 30 billion, and not a penny less." Chen Xing nodded in confirmation, and then explained: "According to our group's internal plan, this money will be used for the construction of charging piles throughout the north, plus brand 4S stores."
"I also believe that our imperial city finances are capable of taking out this money to build an electric vehicle operation network in the north."
The four major cities in Longguo, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, have decided to build electric vehicles and started urban layout.
Chen Xing also contacted Guangzhou, but the willingness to cooperate is not particularly strong, mainly because this "big brother" is a third-level fiscal.
What is the third-level fiscal?
In simple terms, Guangzhou's income not only needs to be handed over to the country, but also a part of it needs to be distributed to the provincial fiscal for the development and construction of the province, and the rest is its own.
To put it simply, it not only needs to support its parents, but also its children, and there is not much money left in its pocket.
And "Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen" are second-level fiscal, their city income only needs to support "parents", and the rest goes into their own pockets.
This is also why the urban construction of secondary finance is relatively good, and people really have money in their pockets.
"30 billion I..."
Wang Fang still felt that it was too much, and wondered if she could bargain.
Before she could finish her words, Chen Xing interrupted her and said: "There are so many universities in the imperial capital, and it is graduation season. It is not easy for students to find jobs, right?"
"If our car company is open, it should be able to greatly alleviate the employment pressure in the northern region. After all, brand 4S stores still need a large number of employees to operate."
Chen Xing emphasized the tone of the four words "northern region", and the meaning inside made everyone present fall into deep thought, including Wang Fang.
As we all know, with the transfer of the pillar industries of the economy, the employment pressure in the northern region is very high.
In the past, when heavy industry was king, the north was the well-deserved big brother.
But now the heavy industry industry is gradually declining, and light industry has become the economic center. The high development of light industry has driven the development of the Internet economy. This has led to a continuous reduction in jobs in the north and an exponential surge in jobs in the south. Many students in the north have to come to the south if they want to find jobs.
There are also northern students on the Internet who confessed: If there is no job in their hometown, who would be willing to leave their hometown to work?
Providing jobs and keeping talents in the local area has always been what northern cities need to do, and it is also the top priority.
Since Chen Xing dared to come to the capital to discuss cooperation, it is impossible for him to come empty-handed. He dared to sit at the negotiation table only after collecting enough chips based on the actual situation.
"How many jobs can be provided?" Wang Fang thought for a long time and finally gave in.
Thinking about the problem from her level, jobs are much more important than money.
Leaders in her position want the people to become richer than anyone else, but they can't give money directly, so they can only increase the stable income of residents by increasing jobs.
"In 2 years, at least 30,000 jobs will be provided in the northern region. This number is only more and less, and it can be written in black and white in the contract."
"Okay!"
Wang Fang's eyes lit up. Providing 30,000 jobs in two years is three times more than Tesla.
Don't underestimate 30,000 jobs. These are all directly related to Longxing Group, and there are many indirect jobs that are not calculated.
This is like KFC coming to Longguo. Because it is a fast food restaurant selling fried chicken and hamburgers, it is impossible for it to ship whole chickens from the United States, so it must establish a supply chain in Longguo. The food supply chain driven by it is an indirect job.
When an excellent enterprise settles down, it can drive employment in the entire region.
The eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping of employees can all drive the local economy.
This is why many small counties are willing to personally accompany the county governor to drink in order to attract enterprises to settle down, because of the regional economic effect brought by employment positions.
After Wang Fang gave in, she looked at the two directors of the General Administration of Transportation and said, "Director Li, Director Wang, what do you think?"
Her words have already made her attitude clear. The capital can get a loan of 30 billion to invest in the automotive industry chain of Longxing Group in the northern region. Now it depends on whether the license plate can meet the requirements.
Because the license plate of the capital is indeed rare, and getting a number is almost like winning the lottery.
"In terms of license plates, I think there is room for operation." Director Li also understood Wang Fang's meaning and responded systematically:
"After listening to the conversation between Mr. Chen and Mayor Wang just now, we have also seen the development prospects of electric vehicles. From my personal point of view, I am definitely very willing to provide a large number of Imperial City license plates to support the development of related industries."
"but."
Suddenly, he changed the topic and said: "It would be a bit difficult to fully liberalize the lottery."
He looked at Chen Xing and explained: "Now, not to mention 70%, at least 40% of the families in the Dragon Kingdom have cars, not to mention the imperial capital, where more than 70% of the families have bought cars. If the lottery is relaxed, the remaining 30% of households may have to buy a car license, and traffic may be regularly jammed or even paralyzed. "
"What does Director Li mean?"
Chen Xing asked.
"We will definitely support Che, and we will also let go of Pai." Director Li first made his position clear, and then expressed his thoughts:
"But this requires a process. Mr. Chen, do you think this will work? We will issue 100 new number plates in Didu every month to support the electric vehicle industry."
"Then when owners of fuel vehicles purchase electric vehicles, their blue plates can be unconditionally replaced by electric vehicle license plates. For our electric vehicle license plates, all restrictions in the Imperial Capital area will be relaxed. What do you think?"
Chen Xing did not rush to answer, but digested and understood Li Bureau's words.
What Director Li wants to express is that the Imperial City cannot let go of license plates. It can only lift regional control and increase the value of license plates.
Anyone who has lived in the two cities of "Beishang" knows that some license plates prohibit entry into the central area of the city during certain periods of time.
For example, the simplest Shanghai C license plate is a Shanghai license plate, but it cannot enter the area within the outer ring road. The treatment is even worse than that of foreign license plates, and it is known as the most useless local license plate.
Relaxing the regional restrictions on license plates is a middle-of-the-road solution.
"100 is too little, let's go with 150. I don't ask for too much. If it works, we can sign a contract."
Chen Xing made a concession. In fact, he also understood in his heart that the number plates in the Imperial City were scarce and it was impossible to say that he would let go without restrictions.
If there is really no other way, who would want to limit city numbers?
The reason why he proposed "comprehensive liberalization" was mainly because of his negotiation skills.
During the negotiation process, if you first raise an excessive condition to raise everyone's threshold, then raise normal conditions, the negotiation will go particularly smoothly.
This technique is most commonly used in offline clothing stores.
Obviously the purchase price is 30 yuan, but others dare to charge you 300 yuan. Even if you cut it in half, others can still make 120 yuan. The key point is that you still feel that you have made a lot of money by cutting off 150 yuan.
Let others feel that they have earned something, which is very important at the negotiation table.
"No problem, let's sign the contract." Director Li nodded in agreement, then looked at Wang Fang.
"Then call a lawyer?"
Wang Fang looked at Chen Xing.
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded, looked at Rebus and said, "Mr. Lei, I'll just ask your lawyer to make a trip."
"Ah..." Rebus was stunned for half a second, but quickly recovered and replied: "No problem, I'll call them now."
He took out his phone and started to contact the legal department of the rice company, asking them to come to Longke Academy as quickly as possible.
After witnessing the entire process of Chen Xing's negotiation, Rebus had already seen the future development of Pilot Auto in advance.
Apart from anything else, just the 150 number plates of Imperial City will definitely attract a large number of prospective car owners to buy, which is equivalent to the guaranteed sales of 150 vehicles of Imperial City. This is a very considerable income.
Qin Long and Qu Cheng looked at each other, both marveling at Chen Xing's business ability. With just a few words, they finalized their willingness to cooperate while talking and laughing.
…
About an hour later, lawyers from both sides arrived in the conference room.
After understanding the terms negotiated by both parties, the legal team began to draft the contract terms and confirm the responsibilities of both parties.
Because it is a gambling contract, the determination process is very long.
It was close to one o'clock at noon, and the rough terms of the formal contract were finally released. As the organizer, Qin Long picked up the gambling contract and glanced at the people in the conference room and said in a deep voice:
"This formal gambling contract has also been discussed. I will summarize it. If there is no problem, then both parties will sign it and we will all be witnesses."
The words fell.
Chen Xing, Wang Fang, the two directors of the General Administration of Transport, and all the spectators present nodded slightly in agreement.
"Ahem."
Qin Long cleared his throat and read out the conditions given by the imperial capital to Longxing Group:
"Longxing Group's electric vehicle business, Imperial City will be the first batch of pilot cities, and the latter needs to provide..."
“1. Provide 150 Beijing-A new energy license plates every month. There are no restrictions on the license plates in the Imperial Capital area and they can freely enter the core areas of the city.
In addition, owners of blue plates of fuel vehicles can replace new energy license plates with relevant departments through cancellation and replacement. This is not subject to restrictions.
2. Didu provided 30 billion yuan in Longguo currency to Longxing Group with a loan interest rate of 2.8%. This amount will be used for the infrastructure construction and daily operations of electric vehicles in the northern region, including Didu.
3. All departments in Imperial City will fully cooperate to build the Longxing Group’s electric vehicle ecological chain and provide relevant conveniences. "
"Are these three points okay?"
Qin Long looked at Wang Fang.
"No problem." Wang Fang nodded slightly, and other leaders of the imperial capital also nodded, expressing their recognition of the terms of the contract.
Seeing that the Imperial Capital had no problem, Qin Long turned his eyes back to the contract terms and read out the terms that Longxing Group needed to fulfill:
"Longxing Group...
1. It must ensure that it will pay 1.5 billion Longguo currency in taxes to the Imperial Capital every year from 2016.
2. In the next five years, it must invest no less than 15 billion Longguo currency in the northern region to build a northern automobile sales headquarters and provide at least 30,000 jobs.
3. For the downstream industrial chain related to the automotive field of Longxing Group, the northern region should give priority to the assembly supply from the north.
If the above cannot be achieved, the Imperial Capital can unilaterally stop providing Beijing A license plates, and at the same time, the loan interest rate will be raised to 5.5%, and the loan must be repaid within ten years."
After Qin Long finished reading, he looked at Chen Xing on the right and said, "Is it okay?"
"No problem."
Chen Xing nodded slightly.
He had to sign this contract, and Longxing Group must get this money for the construction of the automotive field.
Now the mobile phone field is in the stage of "opening up territory and expanding territory". Every time a country's market is opened up, the initial investment will not be less than 1.5 billion Longguo currency, and the book capital expenditure is huge.
If we have to describe it in one sentence, it is a war on two fronts, and military pay is in short supply.
In addition to the 30 billion yuan loan from the imperial capital, Shenzhen also borrowed 30 billion yuan for the construction of electric vehicle infrastructure in the south.
The pilot city is not limited to the city area.
The vehicles are to be driven all over the country, and charging piles in various cities and charging piles in service areas on the highway must be built.
The city pilot only means that the license plates will be tested in these two cities first.
With 60 billion yuan in funds, Chen Xing estimated that it should be enough to build charging piles and operate brand 4S stores across the country.
After confirming that both parties had no problems, Qin Long also acted as the middleman and said: "Well, this contract will be printed in four copies, each of you will hold one copy, I will take one copy to the Long Science and Technology Institute, and the last copy will be taken for notarization."
"Okay."
"No problem."
Wang Fang and Chen Xing replied.
After both parties had no objections, the printing and signing process was very fast, and the signing was completed in less than fifteen minutes.
After Wang Fang checked the contract and confirmed that there was no problem, she put it in her briefcase and then looked at Chen Xing and said, "The contract has been signed. I wish us a happy cooperation, Mr. Chen."
"Happy cooperation."
Chen Xing responded with a smile.
Qin Long looked at the time and continued to act as a middleman and said, "It's almost 1:30 in the afternoon after all this trouble. Let's all stay for a meal."
"President Qin has already spoken, so I must have a meal." Chen Xing smiled and said.
"Then I'd rather obey than be respectful. Sorry to bother you, President Qin." Wang Fang did not refuse. Qin Long still needed to give face.
The other leaders also nodded.
"Excuse me."
"It's a good opportunity to have a good chat with Mr. Chen and learn some management experience."
"That's right."
Although Qin Long said to stay for a meal, he couldn't really let Chen Xing, Wang Fang and others eat in the cafeteria. Instead, he asked someone to prepare a car and lead the way to the special restaurant.
……
The meal started at 2:30 when they arrived at the restaurant and lasted until 4:00 in the afternoon. Everyone surrounded Chen Xing to ask questions.
For example, how to design a Kaitian baseband chip in a short time.
And how to run Longxing Technology Company into the current multinational giant Longxing Group in two years.
In addition to these, Wang Fang also deliberately inquired about Chen Xing's family background.
In less than two years, the grassroots counterattack was completed. She also suspected whether Chen Xing's identity was forged.
Otherwise, how could a grassroots enterprise contact two top academicians, Qu Cheng and Qin Long, in such a short time?
There is a saying that the biggest person that ordinary grassroots people can contact in their lives may be a university teacher.
Why do you say that?
University teachers are not ordinary teachers.
Even in slightly inferior universities, the lecturers are professors. They are not just university teachers, but may also be the chairman of a listed company.
For example, in a medical school, the lecturer who you don't care about will become an expert appointment that you may not be able to make in half a month or even half a year after you go out into society.
Faced with the temptations both overtly and covertly, Chen Xing, the old fox, naturally responded easily, saying half true and half false, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
As the dinner was drawing to a close, Wang Fang stood up first and said, "It's getting late. We have to go back to the company. Mr. Qin, Mr. Qu, Mr. Chen, and Mr. Lei, we'll get together again if we have a chance."
"Okay, it's really getting late. We have to go back to Longke Institute."
Qin Long nodded slightly.
"That's right." Qu Cheng echoed.
"Then we'll get together again when we have time." Chen Xing glanced at the time. It was almost evening. This dinner was definitely long enough.
But after this dinner, the contact information and relationship were established.
Dinners are not the best place to make friends, but they are the best place to establish relationships.
Leibs has been in the capital for so long and is considered a well-known figure. He also stood up and said, "Then we must get together again if we have a chance. I hope it will be a celebration banquet next time."
"Definitely."
"I hope so."
"Haha, thanks to Mr. Lei for his good words."
There was constant laughter in the box.
If both parties have achieved the bet in the contract, then a celebration banquet should indeed be held. This is an independent domestic car.
Longguo has lagged behind the West in the automotive field for hundreds of years, and to this day, it still cannot produce high-end engines independently.
If electric vehicles can succeed, they will break free from the shackles of restraint and soar into the sky, just like the chip field.
As the dinner ended, Chen Xing and Lei Jun took the same car and returned to the Imperial Capital Star Hotel where the former stayed.
In the car, Lei Jun couldn't help but sighed: "It has to be you, brother Chen. In just one month, you got a loan of 60 billion from both the Imperial Capital and Shenzhen City."
If ordinary people want to borrow money, they can only go to the bank for collateral.
But if you are an "advanced player", you can get a loan from the city, but you need a very high social status and the invisible threshold is very high.
Lei Jun also sought a loan from the Imperial Capital, and the Rice Technology Park signed a contract, but he was not as bold as Chen Xing, who actually borrowed 60 billion at once.
If the sales of electric vehicles are bleak, Longxing Group may fall into a debt crisis. It is really as they said at the beginning, putting all the achievements and records they have made in the past on the line to make electric cars.
"No way." Chen Xing smiled bitterly and joked to himself: "Now both mobile phones and cars need to be fed. If we don't make more money, Longxing Group will not be able to operate."
Why are enterprises generally in debt?
There are many businesses!
Like Longxing Group's mobile phone business, the Longguo market now sells a million units a day, but it still cannot fill the gap in the international market. It costs too much to enter the international market.
However, it is normal to have a large initial investment. Chen Xing is not a person who only looks at the present. The money invested now will be recovered a hundredfold.
As for the loan, he believes that he has the ability to repay it.
"That's right. Your international business is moving too fast. In less than two months, you have opened up the bear and Japan and South Korea."
Leibs expressed his understanding. Just as he wanted to ask about the next plan, Jay Chou's "Snail" suddenly came from the car.
"Answer a call."
Chen Xing took out the mobile phone in his pocket.
After looking at the caller notes, his breathing suddenly became a little faster. Lei Jun saw the abnormality and couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"
"I am the engineer in charge of the development of the "Tianxuan Operating System" in my company." Chen Xing explained to Lei Jun, and pressed the answer button and said, "Chief Pei, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lei Jun pricked up his ears to eavesdrop. This is a good time to get inside information.
He was also present at the time and knew that the Tianxuan operating system promoted by Longxing A1 was actually a Hongmeng operating system with a skin.
Could it be that the Tianxuan system was successfully developed?
Pei Hui didn't know that Lei Jun was eavesdropping. He suppressed his excitement and reported the results: "According to your request, the Tianxuan operating system has entered the internal test. The binding of mobile phones and cars may no longer be a dream."
Lei Jun: "???"
Car-machine integration?
"Really?" Chen Xing couldn't help asking. When he held a meeting with internal engineers, he had already emphasized the connection between mobile phones and cars.
Whether it is the Tianxuan operating system or the Huaxia chip, they are designed to serve mobile phones or cars, which is also Chen Xing's requirement.
"Absolutely true."
Pei Hui nodded to confirm.
"I'll go back to check your research results after I finish my work in the capital. You can do the system internal testing first, and send me the results on WeChat." Chen Xing responded immediately.
"Okay, President."
"I'll hang up first."
"Okay."
As the call was hung up, Lei Jun couldn't help but ask: "Has the underlying code of the Tianxuan operating system been completed?"
"It should be almost done. We need to go back and take a look before we can make a final conclusion."
Chen Xing responded.
"What is the mobile phone and car binding you mentioned just now?" Lei Jun continued to ask.
Because he is a family member and a partner of Longxing Heavy Industry, Chen Xing did not hide it and explained:
"For now, the mobile phone can serve as a vehicle key. Later, we may develop an APP to connect all the functions to be developed, so as to provide users with a more convenient lifestyle like a smartphone."
"Automobile intelligence?"
Lei Jun seemed to understand.
"Yes." Chen Xing smiled slightly and continued: "It is automotive intelligence. We may not understand cars, but we know what users want. We give them what they want. This is my marketing concept."
