Material Empire

Qin Minghua was born as a farmer. Although he served as the vice president of the group a few years ago, he has seen a lot of the world, and even shook hands with the head of the central government, but deep down, he still has some respect for the "public family". In his mind, no matter how brilliant his son is, he is just a private entrepreneur after all, and brazenly wrestling with the "public" is a dangerous thing.

Qin Hai is different. As a well-known scientist in his previous life, he has met countless central leaders and officials from ministries and commissions, and he doesn't take director-level enterprise leaders like Wang Kaihua seriously. In this life, although he was only a young worker, he has built such a material empire in just a dozen years, and he already has the capital to be proud of. What's more, from the localization of Pusang to helping the 70X Institute get out of the predicament, from promoting the research and development of No. 98 steel to participating in the fight against the catastrophic flood three years ago, all the ministries and commissions of the central government and the military owe him a lot of favors. With these favors, he can also guarantee that he will not suffer any retaliation for dealing with Beidian and Anshi.

Going to Beidian to negotiate with Anshi is Qin Hai's last chance for these two companies. He has always disliked infighting, preferring to compete with foreign manufacturers in the international market. Even though Beidian and Anshi have all sorts of problems, they are still Chinese enterprises after all, and they are also state-owned backbone enterprises. Qin Hai doesn't want to start a war with them easily. However, as Zhang Daiwei said, he has already fulfilled his obligations, and if the two companies don't cherish the opportunity he sent to them, they can't blame him.

Qin Hai introduced his ideas to everyone in detail. In his own words, this is a set of combined punches, including economics, public opinion, government relations and other aspects. Qin Hai's idea was that, against behemoths like Beidian and Anshi, he either didn't make a move, and as long as he made a move, he must let the opponent have no chance of turning the tables. Otherwise, you will not die from beating the snake, but will be eaten by it instead.

After listening to Qin Hai's narration, everyone fell into silence. It has to be said that Qin Hai's plan is linked to each other, and every move is extremely fierce. If Beidian and Anshi are companies with a more flexible mechanism, there may be some room for maneuver in the face of such methods, but with the rigidity and arrogance of these two companies, I am afraid that they will be beaten to the ground and miserable Word.

Ning Zhongying lit a cigarette and said slowly: "Beidian and Anshi are both very large state-owned enterprises, and they also have a high status in the eyes of the central leaders. We must be cautious when we fight against such enterprises. If you don't pay attention, there may be extremely bad consequences, which will affect the future development of our Daqin Group."

"Director Ning, do you mean that Xiao Hai can't do this?" Qin Minghua asked.

Ning Zhongying shook his head: "That's not true. People bullied us. If we don't react at all, we won't be able to develop in the future. This matter, from the beginning, they did not do it right, and the lawsuit ended. It is also reasonable for us to go to the head of the central government. What I mean is that we are taking advantage of the reason now, and we must not lose the reason because we have gone too far.”

"So, Director Ning, what do you think should be done?" Qin Hai asked. In the group meetings, he always referred to Ning Zhongying as "Director Ning", and only called him in private occasions. For "Dad", this also saves others from feeling too family-like.

"My suggestion is just six words..." Ning Zhongying slammed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and then said firmly: "It is reasonable, beneficial, and restrained!"

"I understand." Qin Hai nodded and said. Before, he had been struggling with how to control the situation, but after hearing the six words of Ning Zhongying, he suddenly felt enlightened.

The so-called reasonable means not to do unreasonable things at any time, so as not to be caught by others and turn the initiative into a passive one; The trick is to stop when you achieve your goal, and don't push people too much. As Ning Zhongying said, these two companies have a high status in the minds of the central leaders. If the Daqin Group is really crushed, no matter how much power Qin Hai occupies, they will be angry with him. strong dislike.

Ning Zhongying's words set the tone for the entire counterattack. Everyone began to deliberate on Qin Hai's proposal based on this principle, and implemented various tasks to specific executors, and even calculated the costs and benefits.

The entire meeting lasted for two full days, and the last few old people left early because they couldn't bear it. Of course, they dared to hand over the decision-making power to such a group of young people only after they had determined that the whole plan was not flawed.

At the end of the meeting, the group executives who came to the meeting went their separate ways and went back to take care of the business they were in charge of. Qin Hai took Tian Ruzhi and Wang Xiaodong on a new journey.

"Demonstrate the position of electric vehicles in the overall framework of China's auto industry..."

In the conference room of Huaqing University's Automotive College, well-known professor Jiang Hailin frowned as he looked at the research proposal Qin Hai handed him. As a senior automotive technical expert, he had heard about the conflicts between Daqin Group and Beidian and Anshi, and he knew what the other party's intentions were when he heard Qin Hai's request.

"Mr. Qin, with all due respect, at this time, it is really inappropriate for me to express my opinion on the dispute between fuel oil and electric vehicles. Mr. Wang has been my old friend for many years, Mr. Qin...haha, we are also new friends. This kind of At that time, it was inappropriate for me to say anything, don’t you think so?” Jiang Hailin said.

"Professor Jiang, we have noticed that you once undertook an electric vehicle project of the Academy of Sciences in 1998. In several academic papers you published at that time, you talked about the impact of electric vehicles on the future automotive industry, and predicted that in After the energy storage problem is perfectly solved, electric vehicles will completely replace fuel vehicles and become the mainstream of ordinary passenger vehicles. What we hope is that you can further enrich your point of view.” Qin Hai said.

"Yes, I did put forward such a point of view." Jiang Hailin said, "However, that is just a family opinion, and time has passed, combined with some new research materials, now I have some new understanding of the original point of view."

"Can you introduce what new knowledge you have?" Qin Hai asked.

Jiang Hailin shook his head and said: "It's not enough at the moment. These understandings are just some preliminary ideas and haven't been fully verified, so it's not appropriate to bring them up for Mr. Qin to criticize. Please forgive me."

"Hehe, Professor Jiang is serious. I'm just interested in Professor Jiang's research, so I don't dare to criticize it." Qin Hai laughed, "Our Daqin Group is currently engaged in the production and promotion of electric vehicles. Professor Jiang's research , It must be a great inspiration to us. I am very sorry to hear that Professor Jiang's idea has not been verified. If possible, our group is willing to provide some funds to support Professor Jiang to complete these research work as soon as possible."

Hearing the word "funding", Jiang Hailin's eyes lit up, he looked at Qin Hai and asked, "Why, are you interested in my research?"

"To tell the truth from Professor Jiang, we have established in-depth cooperation mechanisms with the automotive colleges of more than a dozen universities across the country. The research content involves motors, capacitors, automotive materials, aerodynamics, etc. In addition, there are automotive Soft science topics such as economy, automobile industry management, automobile culture, etc. We know that Professor Jiang has made great achievements in the research of automobile industry strategy, so we hope to carry out some cooperation with Professor Jiang in this area." Tian Ruzhi said.

"Really?" Jiang Hailin said, "So, what cooperation requirements do you have?"

"We would like to ask Professor Jiang to do some research on the development trend of electric vehicles, including technical trends and market prospects. This research will help our group formulate the correct development strategy for electric vehicles. Our research is based on Three years is the deadline, and we are willing to provide 1 million yuan of research funding for this research every year." Tian Ruzhi said.

"You mean, these funds are for your entire strategic research?" Jiang Hailin asked.

Tian Ruzhi smiled and said: "No, this is just the research funding we paid to Professor Jiang's team. As for the funding guarantee within our group, it has nothing to do with the 1 million yuan."

"A big deal, definitely a big deal." Jiang Hailin raised his thumb and said to Qin Hai: "Mr. Qin, you seem to be doing big things. There are too many examples of companies being short-sighted. Everyone is talking about strategy, but the real Very few people are willing to invest huge sums of money in strategic research. In the eyes of those people, strategy is foolishness, and there is no need to spend money at all. I often tell them: You are wrong, you are wrong. Really good strategy, It takes a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to make it. Mr. Qin, your approach just proves my point of view."

"Professor Jiang means that you are willing to cooperate with us?" Qin Hai automatically filtered out Jiang Hailin's slobber, and asked directly.

"Of course, I am willing to cooperate with a talented entrepreneur like Mr. Qin. This cooperation is not for the research funding provided by you. I can see from your funding that you attach importance to strategy." Jiang Hailin said that the look on his face that regards money as dung is a true portrayal of "there is no silver here".

"That would be great." Qin Hai said, "We hope to sign the contract as soon as possible, and hope to see the preliminary research results as soon as possible. If possible, we hope that these results can be published in newspapers and journals with a certain amount of weight. What do you think?"

"It's not a problem at all." Jiang Hailin slapped his chest loudly, "Several of my students are in the magazine, and my articles can be published at any time, and it will definitely not affect Mr. Qin and your... er, strategy decision making."
