Chapter 34 Kida Motorcycle
"By the way, Ah Yang, have you ever heard of Muda Motorcycles?"
After several rounds of drinks, Gao Guoqiang finally spoke slowly.
By May, news of Muda Motorcycle's collaboration with Guangzhou had spread, and many industry insiders had heard the news.
This is a big piece of meat, and every district wants a bite.
Compared with other districts, Liwan District is much worse in all aspects. Without a local business base, it is difficult to make a living.
Liwan District needs to support local businesses and create an investment environment in order to attract foreign investment.
This is also why Gao Guoqiang chose to support Chun'an Auto Repair Shop.
This is not an act of favoritism, but rather a response to market forces and policy directives.
Any industry or enterprise within the Lizhi District that shows signs of development will receive support.
"It's a big international brand; I heard they're planning to invest in Guangzhou soon."
Wang Yang was already interested in the collaboration between Mutian Motorcycle and Yangcheng, and wanted to acquire the secondary agency rights. He was just worried about how to bring it up with Gao Guoqiang.
Gao Guoqiang brought it up himself, saving Wang Yang the trouble of asking.
"Let me tell you the truth: these days, the person in charge of Muda Motorcycle has come to Guangzhou several times and has already reached a cooperation agreement to carry out a joint venture project."
"The investment amount for this project is outrageously large, far exceeding all previous foreign investment."
"The entire province, and even the central government at a higher level, attach great importance to this project and are willing to invest resources in it."
Gao Guoqiang made no attempt to hide anything and told Wang Yang about the prospects of Wuyang Mutian.
With massive financial investment, Wuyang Mutian became one of the most successful projects in the early stages of China's reform and opening up, driving the rapid development of related industries.
It can be said that whoever can get in touch with this project can make a fortune by riding the wave of the times.
"Uncle Gao, what do you mean by that...?"
Wang Yang was aware of these circumstances.
Anyone in the automotive industry has heard of the Wuyang Honda project, to some extent.
"Let me be frank, I hope your auto repair shop can stand up and use your experience in dealing with Hong Kong businessmen to approach Wuyang Mutian and tear off a big piece of this lucrative business for our Liwan District."
Gao Guoqiang got straight to the point, without any attempt to hide anything.
The auto repair industry is inherently related to the Wuyang Mutian project and has a strong connection with it.
In this situation, it is perfectly normal to support a local auto repair industry leader, seize market share, and earn foreign exchange in the region.
There are currently two leading local companies in Guangzhou, Guangke Automobile and Yangcheng Automobile, neither of which are located within the jurisdiction of Liwan District.
If Gao Guoqiang wants to make progress, he must support the auto repair industry in his jurisdiction and compete with the two industry leaders.
In fact, other districts are doing the same thing, supporting businesses within their jurisdictions.
Unfortunately, the current auto repair industry is in decline, with a shortage of talent and technology still stuck in the bicycle era, unable to keep up with the times.
If Wang Yang can manufacture and repair motorcycles, he can teach his subordinates to manufacture and repair motorcycles, and thus enable the entire auto repair shop to manufacture and repair motorcycles.
This is also why Gao Guoqiang chose to support Wang Yang.
"Mission accomplished!"
Wang Yang was overjoyed; this was exactly what he wanted to do.
Gao Guoqiang actually had the same idea as him.
You've found the right father-in-law.
"Don't be so serious. Forget about tasks or missions, just do your best."
Gao Guoqiang patted Wang Yang on the shoulder, signaling him not to get too excited.
Taking a bite off a piece of meat is no easy task.
The cooperation intention between Wuyang Muda has been confirmed, and the project will begin to be implemented in another six months, or at most one year.
Chun'an Auto Repair Shop has just opened, and even with policy support, it will be very challenging for it to become an industry leader in a short period of time.
After all, the planning bureau can't just support Wang Yang's auto repair shop; anyone willing to work will receive support.
It's just that Wang Yang has an advantage because he knows how to make motorcycles, and he can get more support from him.
Even if we become the industry leader, Kida Motorcycles may not choose to cooperate. We still need to meet their conditions or propose conditions that they cannot refuse.
These are all problems that Wang Yang needs to solve.
"Uncle Gao, you can rest assured. I have the ability to attract investment from Hong Kong businesses, and I also have the ability to cooperate with Wuyang Mutian."
Wang Yang patted his chest and assured Gao Guoqiang.
He had already devised a plan, wanting to try and accomplish something big.
"Yes, Director Gao, just trust this guy. Because of his strategies, our entire group is working even harder."
Huang Wenjie, who was standing to the side, spoke up in support of Wang Yang.
The director of the Liwan District Planning Bureau is a powerful official; there's no harm in getting to know him.
"Could you tell me some details, and also your views on the mainland market?"
Gao Guoqiang was very straightforward and expressed his desire to know the details about Wang Yang and the Hong Kong businessman.
Wang Yang had previously shared his experience in dealing with foreign capital with Gao Guoqiang in general terms.
With Wong Man-kit present, it's a good opportunity to learn more about the relevant details and foreign investors' views on the mainland market, such as which types of markets they prefer to invest in, so the Planning Bureau can make corresponding adjustments.
"I would be delighted."
Huang Wenjie was naturally willing to get to know such a bureau chief.
With Wang Yang's help, the three chatted until sunset, discussing everything from market prospects to everyday family matters, from investment strategies to Jupiter exploration—they practically talked about beheadings.
It wasn't until Secretary Hu finished taking his statement and returned that Gao Guoqiang remembered he actually had other plans for the afternoon, and now he had missed them all.
"Well then, I'll give you one more big gift before I leave."
"Secretary Hu, draft a contract for Chun'an Auto Repair Shop to order twenty motorcycles for use by various departments on duty."
Gao Guoqiang waved his hand and asked Wang Yang for twenty motorcycles.
The opening of Wang Yang's new factory is quite a gift.
"Uncle Gao, isn't this a bit against the rules?"
"You know I'm not qualified to manufacture cars..."
Wang Yang was somewhat surprised and hesitant to accept the order.
It's important to know that Wang Yang is currently selling motorcycles under the guise of a consignment business, exploiting loopholes in the verification process.
In other words, although these motorcycles were manufactured by Wang Yang, the records show that they came from a non-existent third-party consignment trust, which falls into a gray area.
It's inappropriate for a planning bureau within the system to order products from the gray area.
"These days, as long as it's not explicitly prohibited, you can get on the train first and buy the ticket later. Development should be the top priority."
Gao Guoqiang waved his hand to reassure Wang Yang.
Throughout this era of rapid development, the practice of "getting on the train first and buying the ticket later" has long been tacitly accepted by local governments as a means to promote development.
Aside from not being able to register the vehicle, consignment through a trust is not much different from regular channels.
In mainland China today, motorcycles are a relatively new product, and relevant regulations have not yet been issued, so they can be driven without a license plate.
Even if someone wanted to investigate, there are no relevant terms and rules, so what would they use to investigate?
"Thank you very much, Uncle Gao."
