The next morning, the Station Chief was still thinking about Deputy Station Chief Jia's suggestion to purchase Songjiang Motors vehicles when his secretary brought him the morning's newspapers.
As usual, the first newspaper he reads is < People's Daily >.
< Joint venture is the only way to revive our automobile industry? >
The article on the front page was written by a familiar name. The Station Chief quickly starts to read the article.
Automobile manufacturers from developed countries had used joint ventures to occupy the Hua Xia market. But the western countries had set up barriers to our exports of technologies. This is an unfair situation! If we let them do as they please, our automobile industry will have to rely on those western companies for technologies. Our profits will be taken away by them, and our accounts will be in deficit!
On the surface, the developed countries had transferred some of their technologies to Hua Xia. But these technologies were all obsolete or about to be obsolete technologies. They will never transfer the high-end technologies to Hua Xia.
Our automobile industry might seem to be doing well, and our production and sales are increasing rapidly. But at the same time, most of the profits are taken away by those foreign joint ventures. Those foreign joint ventures are our Hua Xia people's money.
If this continues, we will become the cash cow of the developed countries' automobile manufacturers. They will eat our grass, but our milk will be taken away by them!
Our country used to have our own automobile brands. But now, all the production had stopped. The cars we produce are all foreign brands. Our own brands are slowly disappearing.
In the long run, we will only be helping those foreign brands. The Chinese consumers prefer foreign brands, and our own brands will not survive. Even if we want to revive our own brands in the future, we might not be able to revive our own brands. Joint ventures might seem like a shortcut, but it is like drinking poison to quench thirst!
It was a helpless choice at the time, but now, we have a better choice!
In Bing City, Hua Xia, there is a machinery manufacturing company. Without any special government support, they had developed the most advanced models in China and even in the world. Please note that this is also a joint venture. But it is a joint venture with state-owned assets, private funds, and Hong Kong funds. This company belongs to Hua Xia.
They had set up Songjiang Motors, and the exterior designs and core technologies were all from Hua Xia. The performance of these cars is better than other joint ventures. They are the first to use diesel engines in their cars.
This was a national automobile brand that had carved out its own path, innovated and developed independently. The emergence of this brand will definitely break the monopoly of automobile manufacturers in developed countries. It will definitely lead our Hua Xia automobile manufacturers to the top of the world!
…
The station head finished reading the newspaper and lit a cigarette. The joint venture was proposed by that person, and then there was a wave of joint ventures all over the country. Now, this person is publishing an article criticizing the joint venture. Is it because the direction of the higher-ups has changed?
Luckily, he did not object to the purchase of Songjiang Motors vehicles yesterday and wanted to continue the discussion. Now, it seems that the higher-ups want to support Songjiang Motors.
The connections of this Songjiang Motors car were very strong. Since this person's connections worked, there was nothing to hesitate about. The cars that the TV station will be purchasing will be this Songjiang Motors car!
Feng Yu was also reading this article. He had only written some simple words. After this person had edited it, it had become such a powerful article.
But would it be okay to write it like this? Feng Yu vaguely remembered that it was the chief designer who suggested the joint venture. Damn, Bing City's Machinery Company had become cannon fodder?
But the chief designer was still on the stage. Since he dared to publish this article, it should be fine. If the Chief Architect agrees with this view, then Songjiang Motors will be in the prime of its life!
At the same time, many leaders in the country noticed this article. They realized that other than joint venture cars, our country also has cars with such good technology.
Not only < People's Daily >, but many other newspapers also published similar articles. Of course, the few automobile industry's newspapers did not publish these articles.
The leader of the Planning Committee called the person who published this article to his office. He wanted to know why this person wrote such an article.
After a long discussion, the leader of the Planning Committee was convinced by this person.
Indeed, China had set the automobile industry as one of the key industries in this 5 years plan. In the next 5 years plan, the automobile industry will be one of the pillar industries.
If the technologies of these pillar industries were in the hands of foreigners, then once the foreigners withdraw their technologies, it would be like how the Soviet Union withdrew their experts from Hua Xia. Then, Hua Xia's automobile industry will be affected by 10 years!
But this matter was not as serious as what the papers said. The joint venture was transferring all the technologies to Hua Xia, and this will increase Hua Xia's technologies. Hua Xia must continue to develop these technologies to catch up with the developed countries.
But this Bing City Machinery Company had successfully developed China's most advanced cars. Some of their technologies were also the most advanced in the world. This was not easy.
Although Zhang Ruiqiang knew that Songjiang Motors was using the former Soviet Union's Volga production lines and technologies, and the Aviation Factory's automobile manufacturing technologies were integrated into it, he did not expect the combination of these two mediocre technologies could produce such significant improvements.
Can Hua Xia's automobile companies combine their technologies to develop more advanced technologies?
This way, when the joint venture contract expires, the companies can stop renewing the contract and focus on developing their national automobile brands!
Meanwhile, the chief designer was also reading the article seriously. Before this article was published, the Chief Architect knew about it and nodded in agreement. He likes to speak his mind and let everyone discuss his problems. He does not like to hide his problems.
Also, he does not care if Bing City Machinery Company was a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise. As long as it was Hua Xia's company, it was fine. This Spring, when the Chief Architect was inspecting Shenzhen, he wrote about the cat theory. Bing City Machinery Company was the cat that he was talking about.
Although the article was against this joint venture, the Chief Architect was not angry. He knew that only by exploring, he would be able to find the right path. This Bing City Machinery Company was very interesting. He should visit it when he is free!
That morning, Feng Yu received a call from Station Chief Jia. He asked Feng Yu to come to CCTV to discuss the purchase of vehicles.
Feng Yu was overjoyed. This was a success. In the future, all the public vehicles will be changed to Songjiang Motors! Audi, Volkswagen, Honda, they can all step aside!
