At noon, it was time for the celebration party. All the people who participated in the event gathered at the grand hotel in Gu Yi City.
Ye Tiansheng, Ou Jiansheng, Liu Jingyuan, and their companions, who had just returned from Xiao Yi River in the morning, also attended the celebration party. During this day and a half, Liu Jingyuan put down his work and lowered his status to accompany the two bosses from Nancheng to sightsee. They had a fish feast, beef soup … Last night, they had also arranged for the Miao family to have a barbecue, glutinous rice wine, roasted pork, pumpkin rice, pickled fish … The two VIPs from Nancheng were very comfortable. Before they returned to Gu Yi City, they had already learned from the phone that the electric car demonstration event had been a huge success. Ruan Lei had planned an event that was completely different from usual. There were no special doors, no big ribbons, no support from the various departments, and no old people in their seventies or eighties dressed in red and green, singing and dancing in the square. It was a completely motorized event. The forty policemen who were driving accurately parked their cars, got out of their cars in unison, and assembled like soldiers. The whole process of them suddenly becoming security personnel was a big demonstration of the police force in Gu Yi City. The audience at the scene discussed animatedly and unanimously recognized that the police force in Gu Yi City was of high standards and was a powerful team. Meng Yuewei was in the car when he heard the live broadcast of the traffic station talking about this. His mind was no longer in Xiao Yi River and he flew to the event venue.
The group was no longer in the mood to sightsee and the small car quickly rushed back. Gu Yi City's traffic station's broadcast accompanied them all the way.
The section where the vehicle management department was responsible for the demonstration was also very shocking. Gu Yi City was a small mountainous city and it was a prefecture-level city that had just been upgraded from a county town. Usually, there were not many good cars, let alone professional cars. Every move of the instructor from the vehicle management department could make ordinary people in Gu Yi City gasp in amazement. This instructor was a friend of one of the five secretaries sent by the Secretariat to assist in the work. He was also a skilled and brave person. He had never ridden an electric car before, but he tried out four different brands of cars. After he came down from the stage, he was interviewed by the reporters on the spot. He believed that electric cars were more suitable for playing tricks because they had faster acceleration, more stable, and didn't have fuel tanks and other explosives, so they were safer. He praised the three-box electric car produced by Jinling Electric car Factory. He believed that the car's performance was better than any luxury car on the market that was under two million yuan. When Secretary Liu heard this evaluation on the radio, it was for the first time Secretary Liu had the impulse.
After that, the driving school's demonstration was held. The driving school's instructor accompanied the ordinary citizens to experience driving. Every time a group of people came down, the traffic station's reporters would interview them on the spot. Because it was a live broadcast, the people who experienced it said it was good, and some said it wasn't. Their starting points were different, and their feelings were different. In response to the different feelings of the people who experienced it, the reporters also asked the experts of the four major automobile factories to explain it. Jinling Electric car Factory's Chief Engineer Zhou's slow and extremely professional explanation often made the audience burst into applause. It also made Liu Jingyuan and the others in the car laugh happily.
When they got down from the car, Lan Shigao said to Secretary Liu, "This afternoon, the Wanma Driving School is treating us. They're famous today!"
"They offered to treat us?" Secretary Liu asked.
"Yes, the event hasn't ended yet, but it's already been arranged. All the staff, one by one, are all at the table. There are more than thirty tables!" Lan Shigao said, "This Xiao Ruan handled things beautifully. She also knows how to save money."
"Not only does she know how to save money, but she also knows how to earn money! The next time she holds an event like this, if she were to ask for sponsorship, it would probably exceed one million yuan. "Ye Tiansheng said.
Both Secretary Liu and Secretary Lan laughed and nodded in agreement. Secretary Liu said, "Zhao Changfu got a pearl!"
Ou Jiansheng joked, "The first thing I'll do is ask Ou Jie to marry her immediately. Then, I'll ask her to resign from Qingshan Town's County Women and Infants Hospital and go to the National League to be the Vice President. She'll be in charge of all the National League's live events."
Liu Jingyuan knew that Ou Jiansheng was joking, but he didn't think it was impossible. He said to Ou Jiansheng, "Don't try to poach my people. I'm still preparing to pull your family's Ou Jie into the civil service of Gu Yi City!" He said to Lan Shigao, "Call Zhao Changfu and ask him to send a transfer order to the County Women and Infants Hospital today to transfer Ruan Lei to the County Party Committee Office." Liu Dehou said, "Qingshan Town's County has a plan. Didn't they apply for Zhong Qinghong as the Deputy County Head? After Deputy County Head Zhong takes office, they'll transfer Ruan Lei to be Deputy County Head Zhong's secretary."
"No, it's too late! Send the transfer order today and transfer her to the County Government Office. " Secretary Liu said, "You guys don't know, but I've been with Boss Zhou for the past two days. I've seen his style. He won't waste even a minute of his time." He turned to Lan Shigao and said, "Your task is to get Ou Jie and Chen Weizheng into the civil service. It'll be a great achievement for you."
Secretary Lan thought about it and felt that this task was a little difficult. He took out his phone and called Zhao Changfu to ask him to quickly deal with Ruan Lei's matter.
Secretary Liu asked again, "Is the instructor who played with the driving skills part of the Department of Motor Vehicles?"
"No, he's a contract employee of the Department of Motor Vehicles." Meng Yuewei had already asked clearly. He knew that Secretary Liu would reward those who contributed.
Liu Jingyuan asked Meng Yuewei to invite the instructor over for a meeting.
The instructor's surname was Ouyang, and he was a native of Gu Yi City. He was in his thirties and was not tall or fat. He was very strong and had a background as a professional racer. He had a great interest in modifying cars, racing, and playing with cars. He was injured in a road race and could no longer participate in the race. He withdrew from the race and found a connection to become a contract employee of the Department of Motor Vehicles in Gu Yi City.
Secretary Liu talked to him for a while, mainly to ask him about his views on electric scooters. Instructor Ouyang did not have stage fright, nor did he stutter because the other party was the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Instead, he spoke with assurance and was professional and concise.
Secretary Liu was very satisfied. He praised Instructor Ouyang a few times and asked him to leave.
Seeing Instructor Ouyang's back as he left, Secretary Liu said, "Give him a job and transfer him to Huang Chenglong in the industrial park. He'll be in charge of product inspection and the construction and management of the test track. There aren't many people in Gu Yi City who understand cars. Don't let a talent like him go. "
Lan Shigao immediately agreed. This was not a small reward.
At this time, Secretary Lan's secretary came over and said, "General Manager Guan from the public transport company wants to see you. He wants to apologize to you. Do you want him to come over?"
"What is it this time?" Secretary Lan asked.
"Last night, forty electric scooters were parked in their parking lot. The people in their branch company did not understand the situation and charged a parking fee of four thousand RMB. General Manager Guan came over to refund the money to you," the secretary said.
"Why did you refund it to me?" Secretary Lan asked.
"Because the receipt is your personal payment," the secretary said. "Call Ruan Lei over," Lan Shigao said. The secretary went over and called Ruan Lei over.
"Ruan Lei, you did a good job at the event. Now that Secretary Lan has shown his face in front of me, he must be very happy," Liu Jingyuan said jokingly.
"We were in a rush, so it wasn't perfect. If we had more time to prepare and more work, the effect would have been better," Ruan Lei said.
"It's already very good! I'm very satisfied. I can be proud in front of Secretary Liu. Xiao Ruan, I have something to ask you. The public transport company charged four thousand RMB for parking, right? "Secretary Lan asked.
"Yes. At that time, the staff they sent was not cooperative and did not agree to park. Then they asked for money. Coincidentally, Chen Weizheng came and paid the money without saying anything. They were in a rush and couldn't find a suitable place to park so many cars, so they paid the money. Chen Weizheng said that the money would be paid by his battery factory, "Ruan Lei explained.
"It's not a problem of who paid, it's a problem of whether they should have charged. Where's the receipt? " Secretary Lan took the receipt from Ruan Lei and laughed, "He dared to accept money signed under my name. This person has guts!" He called his secretary over, "Give me five copies of this. I don't have many of these souvenirs in my life."
After a while, the secretary gave the original and the copies to Lan Shigao. Lan Shigao gave a copy to Liu Jingyuan and said, "Secretary Liu, you've been in Gu Yi City for so many days. You've worked hard to entertain the guests for me, so I'll give you a copy as a souvenir." He gave one copy to Ou Jiansheng, Ye Tiansheng, and Ruan Lei and said, "It's worth collecting." He gave the rest to his secretary, "Make a frame for the copy and hang it in my office. Return the original to Director Guan. Tell him not to let those unreliable people work for him in the future. If they don't do well, they'll implicate him. "
The secretary left and came back to give the money to Secretary Lan. Secretary Lan motioned for the secretary to give the money to Ruan Lei.
Jinling's Chief Engineer Zhou was pestering Chen Weizheng, while Western Qin's Chief Engineer Xu and Master Mai were following Ou Jie closely.
Chief Engineer Zhou asked Chen Weizheng to work overtime to make ten thousand batteries for Jinling's emergency. The factory was willing to pay ten thousand RMB for each battery. If the money was not enough, they could negotiate. Every four batteries could fit one car, so ten thousand batteries could fit two thousand five hundred cars. That was the number of batteries in the factory. If there were enough batteries, they could immediately sell one car to the Hongdu Provincial Government for three hundred and fifty thousand RMB. The factory would be able to make a profit of eight to nine hundred million RMB.
Chen Weizheng said, "Tell the leaders in the factory to come to Gu Yi City to confirm a project in the Huaqiao Electric Vehicle Industrial Park. For example, a business car project. If you become an enterprise in the industrial park, I can give you priority in supplying the batteries. Although the factory in Gu Yi City has not been built yet, I can go to the Southern Military Research Institute to organize the production. After the project is approved, the batteries will be delivered to you within ten days." They could directly send the batteries from Shaoguan to Hongdu in a military vehicle. It was very close.
After Chief Engineer Zhou heard Chen Weizheng's words, he walked to the side and made a phone call. He said, "Our factory's General Manager and Chairman will leave immediately. They will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest. In the morning, they would like to meet with the leaders of Gu Yi City to confirm the matter."
Chen Weizheng said, "I'll take you to see Mayor Liu."
When they arrived at Liu Dehou's table, they first greeted the group of leaders. Then, they introduced Chief Engineer Zhou to the other leaders and asked him to explain the leaders' intentions. They also asked the leaders of Gu Yi City to take time tomorrow morning to meet with the Chairman and General Manager of the Jinling Car Factory to discuss the investment and construction of a factory in the industrial park.
Liu Dehou expressed his gratitude to the Jinling Car Factory for gifting the cars and welcomed the leaders of the Jinling Car Factory to Gu Yi City. He said, "Because of the gift of cars, our Gu Yi City and the Jinling Car Factory are friends. When friends come, there will be good wine. Whether or not they are here to discuss the project, we will welcome the arrival of the distinguished guests of the Jinling Car Factory."
These words warmed Chief Engineer Zhou's heart. After he returned to his seat, he repeated Liu Dehou's words word for word to the leaders of the factory.
Master Mai from Western Qin was playing the hometown card with Ou Jie. Western Qin had a very advanced battery factory that produced iron-lithium batteries. In the past few years, there had been continuous breakthroughs in technology, and the battery's capacity had also been increasing. It had already become the leader in the domestic electric car industry. The company had two different opinions on whether to buy the finished Longshan battery. Most people's opinion was not to buy the finished Longshan battery, but to learn the advantages of the Longshan battery and improve their own batteries. Master Mai said that he needed some battery samples, and Ou Jie readily agreed.
Manager Zhang from Xichuan also wanted to get the Longshan battery as a sample. Chen Weizheng told him that each family had prepared ten batteries, and now they were struggling with the problem of how to transport them. Manager Zhang said that they didn't have to trouble Gu Yi City because there was a Xichuan Car sales point. If there were batteries, the store would drive over to pick him and the batteries, and then find a way to send them back to the factory. Chen Weizheng said that he would go downstairs to collect the batteries after dinner.
Nan Qiong Cars had a sales point in Gu Yi City, but they only sold traditional diesel cars. They didn't sell electric cars. Hearing that Chen Weizheng agreed to provide ten batteries, Vice President Liu was overjoyed. He quickly called the sales point and arranged for a car to pick him up. He also warmly invited Manager Zhang from Xichuan to the sales company and take the company's car. Manager Zhang immediately agreed.
After a while, the car from Nan Qiong's sales company in Gu Yi City arrived. Chen Weizheng, Xichuan, and Nan Qiong's representatives went downstairs. In front of the villa, each of them gave ten batteries to the two representatives. They warmly invited the two automobile factories to visit and give advice during the opening ceremony of the Longshan Battery Plant.
After the two representatives left, the car from Western Qin's sales company in Gu Yi City also arrived. Vice President Xu and Master Mai also walked out of the building with Ou Jie. When they came to the front of the villa, Chen Weizheng gave them ten sample batteries and warmly bid farewell to the representative from Western Qin.
Chief Engineer Zhou from Jinling was accompanied by Little Wang from the secretariat to check out of the hotel near the second branch of the public transport company. He was transferred to the Gu Yi City Hotel for the night.
