From knock-off old-man's electric vehicles to industrial giant

Chapter 139 Provincial Leadership Delegation Inspection! What exactly is a key provincial enterprise?!
To know.

From the moment the Xingchen F1 factory began construction, Xingchen Automobile's application for manufacturing qualifications was submitted by the city government. It then went through the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and an investigation team even came to the factory for on-site inspection to verify the quality and factory qualifications.

After shooting the arrows first and then drawing the target, everything went smoothly and without any problems. After more than half a year, this "qualification" was finally granted!

Upon receiving the notification, the entire company team erupted in celebration!
but.

Early in the morning.

Xu Yi didn't have time to celebrate. He changed into a suit and led the company's core senior management team to wait outside the Star F1 factory.

Outside the assembly plant where the first batch of deliveries was held a few days ago.

At this moment, it has completely changed its appearance.

The banner for the first batch of car owners' delivery ceremony was removed and replaced with a brand new, larger, and more eye-catching red banner.

[A warm welcome to the provincial leaders from Shandong Province who visited Xingchen New Energy Vehicle Company]

...

Even the roads outside were specially cleaned.

We're just waiting for the main character to arrive.

Before long, a special car led the way, followed by two very conspicuous minibuses, and drove into the industrial park from a distance.

A group of people getting off the bus.

The group included the province's top leader, a number of provincial officials, accompanying staff, and reporters from provincial news media.

……

"Welcome, provincial leaders, to our factory for guidance..."

As soon as we landed, we were warmly received.

Without any ambiguity.

Liu Weihua, who was in the lead, shook hands with Xu Yi, nodded, and gave him a friendly smile.
"This must be General Manager Xu. No need for formalities. We're mainly here to inspect the factory and, incidentally, to have a closer look at the province's only new energy vehicle company..."

"Of course, of course... Secretary Liu, leaders, please come in."

After a few brief words, he led the provincial leaders' inspection team into the factory's main gate.

Xu Yi began to explain very skillfully.

"Boss, this is our production workshop. The first phase of the 4.0 factory has been fully completed and is now in full-scale, high-efficiency production. This is the stamping workshop, where robots automatically stamp the car bodies. That is the welding workshop, and everything is highly automated... The precision of our car manufacturing process can reach the world's top level."

can be seen.

As the tour progressed and the overall environment of the 4.0 factory came into view, Liu Weihua and the accompanying provincial leaders' eyes lit up, and they nodded in approval.

The satisfaction in his eyes continued to grow.

Extremely satisfied!!

The new energy industry is a major trend for the future, and companies like Xingchen Automotive deserve support as "key new energy vehicle enterprises in the province".

After all, this is the only automobile company in the province with dual qualifications.

If it succeeds, it will result in a massive industrial upgrade and a huge increase in employment.

It can be considered a "benchmark" for industrial upgrading!
What's more.

Since its inception, Xingchen Motors has achieved such remarkable results without needing much support!
What a wonderful company!
...

"Distinguished leaders, due to the overwhelming demand and high demand for new car orders, the factory is currently operating at full capacity. Therefore, the factory appears quite busy, and the machines cannot be stopped for individual technical demonstrations..."

Xu Yi made an apologetic expression at just the right moment, the kind that came from the heart, without revealing a single flaw.

Hear this.

Liu Weihua and the others beside him could no longer suppress their smiles.

Even harder to control than an AK!!

"Hey—we can't let our inspections interfere with production. This is the real production environment that the province should really be looking for, not those superficial things!"

Liu Weihua immediately waved his hand and said.

...

"Thank you for your understanding, Secretary. Currently, both of our company's new energy vehicles are performing very well in sales. One is the Star Mini, with an average price of over 40,000 yuan. Currently, monthly sales can reach more than 20,000 units, and annual sales can reach 250,000 units!"

"The other car is the Star S7, which is currently the main production model at the F1 factory. Its average price is around 200,000 yuan. Based on the current order volume, monthly sales can exceed 10,000 units in the future, and the annual sales are expected to reach more than 130,000 to 150,000 units!"

"Our battery, motor, and electronic control technologies are all independently developed and patented... We insist on focusing on technological innovation, refining and specializing in new energy vehicles, following national policies and the province's strategic emerging industry development plan, and striving to be a pioneer in the province's industrial development!"

Xu Yi used a combination of "elimination and attack".

From factory capacity and sales volume to the foundation of technology and patents, and then to keeping up with policies and the Party!

The leadership team present was completely stunned!

Just hearing that the Star Mini's annual sales could reach 250,000 units has already set everyone's hearts on fire.

Upon hearing that the Starry Sky S7 has an average price of 200,000 yuan and an estimated annual sales volume of 150,000 units, he couldn't stop smiling!

"well!"

He said "good" twice.

This reflects Liu Weihua's satisfaction.

……

After a tour, the company's development plan was introduced.

The group rested in the factory's conference room and held a brief discussion.

"The dual qualifications for new energy vehicle manufacturing are hard-won. Seeing companies like Xingchen gives the province peace of mind..."

Liu Weihua gave a concluding speech with a smile.

Originally, I was supposed to say something like, "Focus on technological innovation and improve and refine the industry."

But Xu Yi immediately cut him off.

Moreover, the technology is all independently developed!

The results are visible!
You can skip this.

"If you encounter any difficulties in automobile factory production or company research and development, please feel free to raise them. The province will definitely do its utmost to support you in terms of land, funds, and market access... If you encounter any administrative procedures, environmental issues, or practical difficulties, the relevant departments can also provide one-on-one service to resolve them, ensuring the steady development of our Shandong New Energy Vehicle Industry," Liu Weihua said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the company's senior management team present could no longer suppress their tightly clenched lips!

My heart was filled with joy.

I almost burst out laughing.

The delegation's visit was merely a formality.

The most important thing is the "support from the province".

The support from the province is a real, substantial amount of resources and benefits!
The resources and subsidies are even greater than in the city; it's absolutely fantastic!!

"This year, the province is promoting the '13th Five-Year Plan' for the development of strategic emerging industries. For enterprises that meet the standards, 1000 mu of industrial land can be approved for factory capacity expansion. The transfer price will be 70% of the minimum price standard for industrial land, and the land approval can be located around the factory..."

A leader from the provincial land and resources department spoke up from the side.

"Yes, yes, leader, this is a real lifesaver! Our battery factory is about to expand production, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with the demand," Zheng Tie said hurriedly.

"There's also a special financial subsidy. The provincial finance department can provide 5000 million yuan in subsidies for new energy vehicle R&D. We'll have the relevant documents and materials submitted later by the staff of the General Office. This special fund can be used for research and development in batteries, motors, and the new energy industry..."

"Taxation includes a three-year exemption and a three-year half-reduction policy: corporate income tax is exempted for the first three years and reduced by half for the following three years..."

"Subsidies for high-end technical personnel, interest subsidies for bank loans..."

……

One item after another was listed by the leaders of the Provincial Department of Finance.

"By the way, the Provincial Department of Transportation has previously made arrangements with taxi companies in Jinan and Qingdao. This year, there are still quotas for new energy taxis in the province, and there is a subsidy of 3 yuan for each taxi purchased. Are you willing to cooperate?" Liu Weihua suddenly asked.

"Yes, yes."

Everyone nodded eagerly.

Just kidding, why wouldn't I want to?

We'll take whatever the province gives us!

Liu Weihua nodded. The province has these quotas every year. Instead of letting the taxi companies in the cities purchase other new energy vehicles, it would be better for the province to take the lead in cooperating and purchasing Xingchen vehicles.

Which brand did the taxi companies in the province collectively purchase from? Hmm... I think it was BYD or something like that?

He couldn't quite remember what happened at the Provincial Department of Transportation.

never mind!

From now on, all cars will be from Xingchen Motors!!

……

A series of practical policy incentives and support measures were implemented.

Still not entirely at ease, Liu Weihua asked, "President Xu... have you encountered any practical difficulties in the company's development?"

"Boss, just call me Xiao Xu! The support from the province has been a great help to Xingchen Automotive, we are so grateful!!" Xu Yi stood at attention, his attitude very upright.

The leaders from the province are showing us such great kindness.

Logically and emotionally, he shouldn't have said anything about difficulties anymore.

After all, Xingchen Automotive is developing so well right now...

...

But this time.

Yu Nian couldn't help but speak up:

"Mr. Xu, didn't you say last time that in order to promote brand development, we also need to build our own charging pile network?"

Only in this way can we stabilize the sales of new energy vehicles, ensure that car owners have places to charge their vehicles, and achieve the vehicle-charging station linkage of Xingchen Motors. We can't let car owners have 'cars but no charging stations'! This matter hasn't been resolved yet..."

Xu Yi glared: "What do we need supercharging stations for! Who said we're going to build supercharging stations all over the country right now? That's way too expensive!!"

Yu Nian looked troubled: "But..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Weihua turned his head slightly and asked, "Is the province going to install several thousand more charging stations this year?"

"Secretary, there should be 3,000 public charging station slots available this year, located in highway service areas and urban commercial districts. Each charging station will receive a new energy subsidy of 5000 yuan," the leader from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission replied.

"In that case, instead of outsourcing to a third party, why not outsource it to Xingchen Automotive? The General Office should take the lead in implementing the relevant documents..."

Two leaders casually made a few remarks, and the quota for charging facilities in the province was decided.

"By the way, are the charging facilities and technology at Xingchen up to par? The provincial government will be reviewing them here," Liu Weihua asked again.

“We can keep up, we can keep up! Secretary, our Xingchen charging stations use self-developed silicon carbide modules, and the supercharging function can reach 125kW, which is definitely top-notch in the industry! There are ready-made facilities outside the factory that can be demonstrated!” Sun Pengfei nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, shall we demonstrate it now?"

"Yes! Of course you can!!"

……

After the symposium, a temporary inspection was conducted of the charging demonstration at the Xingchen Supercharging Station.

Everything went incredibly smoothly.

finally.

The leadership delegation's inspection tour concluded in a very pleasant atmosphere.

By the end, they couldn't hold back their smiles anymore, and their faces almost split open with laughter!
then.

At the factory's main entrance, under a huge banner, the leadership team and the Xingchen Company team took a successful group photo.

As they were about to board the bus, Secretary Liu Weihua still held Xu Yi's hand, showing very "thoughtful" care.

"Work hard! If anything happens, just tell the provincial authorities!"

"Hey! I promise to bring glory to the province!!"

……

　I've been so tired lately... I was thinking of taking a day off during the National Day holiday.

　　But looking at the book review section, I just couldn't bring myself to say anything...
