Chapter 316 Big Investment?
Chapter 316 Big Investment?
Relocating to Dongou City must be a decision they made after investigating places all over the world. Could it be that the person in front of him used the dirty money mentioned by the investigative reporter who committed suicide in his previous life to acquire such a group of companies, and then thought of moving to Dongou City to revive his business?
Qi Tongwei didn't expect that with this little bit of information, combined with his memories of his previous life, he could actually guess most of the truth.
The congressman in front of him was just like what the investigative reporter said. He made his first fortune by controlling the gangs under his command as a policeman, engaging in money laundering, finance and other gray businesses. He was elected as a city councilor at a young age, and at the same time controlled a violent institution like the police station. Later, he had a good eye for investment, completed many businesses, gradually laundered all the black money, and finally was even elected as a senator, becoming a big boss.
He has now integrated the auto parts business in the Chicago area and relocated it to Dong'ou. This is how he earned his first pot of gold in the white world. A few years later, relying on the booming business here, he gained so much political capital. Then he opened casinos, engaged in finance, military industry, and it is said that he did everything.
Qi Tongwei did not chat with the other party too much, but left the stage for communication in the hall, where there are samples and various molds of upstream and downstream parts companies in the automotive industry in the High-tech Zone. Most of the molds and equipment of local companies are manufactured by Pengpai Equipment Manufacturing and its downstream companies. It can be said that the industrial chain is very complete.
"Chief Qi, I personally hope to reach a cooperation agreement and build a complete vehicle assembly plant here."
Qi Tongwei was a little surprised. At the beginning, Ding Jian was not talking about the whole vehicle, but the factory that provided important parts to General Motors in Detroit.
"The whole vehicle factory?"
"Yes, just now, I changed my mind. I might as well cooperate with local enterprises to produce accessories. We can provide technology and sales channels.
I plan to move a Chevrolet production line here and produce some models directly here."
Qi Tongwei was a little shocked. Doesn't this man have so much power now? Didn't the magazine say that his influence was only in the Chicago area in the 1990s? It was only after the millennium that he gained widespread support and became a senator.
"Mr. Chen, have you learned about our domestic policies? To produce complete vehicles here, we need to form a joint venture with a local car company."
This matter still needs to be approved by the higher authorities. It is not something that Qi Tongwei can just say is okay here. Exchanging market for technology is a strategy formulated at the central level.
Because the automobile industry is a very large industrial chain, the gross domestic product and the number of upstream and downstream enterprises generated by it are very large. China has always hoped to manufacture automobiles independently, but the technology has always been lacking. Several old industrial enterprises, such as Jinyang Automobile, have not been able to develop at all and are limited by the times.
“I know, my partner, I think your Dongjiang Automobile is very good.
I have seen the quality of this group of employees. They are fully capable of affording the manufacturing of complete vehicles, and you have your own engine technology, which is rare.
After the cooperation, we will move Chevrolet's production line directly here, and the employees will be trained by Chevrolet people.
You know, the value of this production line is not something that money can compare to. As far as I know, our congressional leaders still restrict you from obtaining the technology to fully produce cars."
Qi Tongwei was somewhat tempted by what he said, but the topic had come to this point and he couldn't make a decision. If he made a decision on his own on the spot, it would be rejected by his superiors, and he would still have to report to his leader for approval.
But deep down, he does not want Dongjiang Automobile to become a joint venture car manufacturer. It would be better for it to retain its own independent brand. Perhaps he can strive for it here.
“Mr. Chen, maybe you don’t understand our operating rules.
I can’t decide this matter by myself, I need to consult my superiors.”
At the same time, he was looking at the other person, which meant I don't know if you are kidding me. As a city councilor, how can you have the power to decide on such a joint venture?
Who knows if you are bragging? If you are bragging, what if I agree to it without your permission and get cheated?
The congressman nodded.
"I roughly understand. If it's you who is contacted, I think we can get along well. Most of the other officials are a bit old-fashioned.
Well, I will go back and ask the delegation to formally send an invitation to your top management to finalize this matter and dispel your concerns.
I heard that these excellent companies were all built by you, and you are also a former police officer. I really hope to make friends with you personally."
The other party stretched out his hand again, and Qi Tongwei held it tightly. He could feel the tremendous grip coming from the tiger's mouth. His palm was covered with calluses. This was a master, a master of firearms.
"Yes, I heard that you are the most famous detective in the Chicago Police Department and the head of the intelligence team."
When Qi Tongwei said this, the other party's eyes shrank slightly. Most people don't know this information. From which channel did the other party know it? Does he have friends in Chicago? It's impossible. In such a short time, who would know that he had integrated these auto parts companies and wanted to build a complete vehicle production line.
But this test also made him realize that Qi Tongwei was not an ordinary person.
After chatting, the two joined other entrepreneurs to listen to the technical staff of Dongjiang Automobile and Pengpai Equipment introduce their advantageous products.
For these entrepreneurs, even if they can move the main parts of the production line from Chicago, there is no need to move many other equipment. The most important thing is to rely on the existing accessories industry chain of Pengpai Equipment and Dongou as a supplement and quickly put into production.
After this group of foreigners left, the head of the city's Foreign Affairs Office came over and met with Qi Tongwei.
"Hello, District Chief Qi. I'm from the city's Foreign Affairs Office. Just call me Xiao Dong."
Qi Tongwei nodded and then asked for details.
"Are you going to arrange for these foreigners to stay in the new district tonight?"
"Yes, District Chief, this is also their own request. There is only one hotel in our new district that is qualified to receive foreign guests."
"Well, you are professionals, so I'll leave the reception matters to you, and I won't ask any more questions.
Councillor Chen, the leader of this business delegation, do you have any more specific details?
He may want to cooperate more deeply with our district in the future. If the intelligence in this regard is clear, I will be able to take more initiative. "
I thought this was the most basic thing, but the other party looked embarrassed.
"District Chief, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you. It's just that there are regulations above that you are not someone who can handle foreign affairs reception, and you are not qualified enough."
