Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 355 Preferential subsidies are indispensable, Zhao Ruilong, you're really bold!

early morning.

The sun is rising.

Su Changli arrived at the courtyard as usual.

While Mr. Shen was practicing Tai Chi in the morning, he gave a brief and concise report on yesterday's domestic and international news.

The biggest event yesterday was the visit of US President Steve Jobs, who received a grand welcome.

President Shen reached several consensuses with them on issues including economic and trade relations, cultural exchanges, crime fighting, and joint counter-terrorism efforts.

The continued improvement in bilateral relations has acted as a stimulant for the sluggish global economy, leading to varying degrees of rises in stock markets across many countries.

After listening to the report, General Manager Shen said while practicing his boxing:

"Jobson's focus is now entirely on the war on terror."

"In order to fight terrorism and to get out of the economic downturn, he needs to ease relations with us."

"But this friendly relationship won't last long. We must seize the opportunity to achieve leapfrog development!"

Su Changli closed the folder and said with a smile:

"Considering that you had a couple of drinks at the dinner party last night, I haven't scheduled any work for you this morning."

"At noon, after Steve Jobs finishes his speech at Elite University, he will come to have lunch with you."

President Shen gave a light, indifferent "hmm".

Su Changli looked around and then whispered:

"Yesterday, Zhao Ruilong held a very grand private event at a golf club in the western suburbs for the Land Rover M9, a domestically produced new energy luxury SUV that he invested in and developed."

“At the private event, he not only personally sang the new song on stage and gave a detailed introduction to the research and development and testing of the new car, but also arranged test drive activities, which resulted in more than 12,000 orders.”

I know that President Shen is very fond of Zhao Ruilong.

Therefore, Su Changli naturally paid special attention to Zhao Ruilong's affairs.

In addition, Zhao Ruilong has indeed treated him well, so when it's time to help, how can he be hesitant?

"The results are pretty good. How much does his car cost again?"

"The five-seater version is 55.98 yuan, and the six-seater version is 56.68 yuan."

"what?"

Mr. Shen suddenly stopped practicing his boxing.

He turned to look at Su Changli with an incredulous expression.

He was naturally well aware of the current economic situation of the Dragon Kingdom and the income level of its people.

Considering the enormous human, material, and financial resources Zhao Ruilong invested in developing this high-tech new car, its price wouldn't be cheap due to research and manufacturing costs.

But I never expected it to sell for over 500,000 yuan, a price that's enough to buy a decent apartment in cities like Beijing, Tianjin, or Shenzhen.

"Is this kid crazy? Selling it for such a high price?"

Su Changli smiled and said, "It's probably because the overall cost is very high, and the model is positioned as a high-end luxury car, which is why it sells for such a high price."

President Shen frowned slightly, full of doubt.

"At such high prices, how can we still get so many orders... Have the Chinese become this rich?"

Su Changli explained, "Those invited to this private event are mostly wealthy businessmen and celebrities, who naturally have strong spending power."

"In addition, this car is said to be very well made. It is not only good-looking and easy to drive, but also has a high level of technological configuration, which is why the guests placed orders like crazy."

"A significant portion of these orders were placed as a gesture of goodwill to Zhao Ruilong, and there will inevitably be some that will be cancelled later under various pretexts."

Mr. Shen chuckled and said, "Even if only half is left, it's still quite good to sell more than 6,000 units of a domestically produced new car that costs over 500,000 yuan!"

"Oh right, didn't you say I didn't have any work scheduled for this morning? I really want to see those domestically produced luxury cars that can sell for over 500,000 yuan!"

"But I just wanted to take a look at the car, to understand just how good it is, why it can sell for so much money, and why so many people order it!"

Su Changli nodded quickly.

"Understood, I will arrange it properly."

The reason he made a special mention of this matter after his routine report was that

The purpose was to pique Mr. Shen's curiosity and get him to take a test drive and experience it for himself.

He knew that General Manager Shen had studied mechanical and electronic engineering at Tianjin Jiaotong University in his early years, and after graduation, he had worked at Shengyang Automobile Engine Factory for many years and had also been sent abroad for further studies...

Although he has been away from the automotive industry for many years, he has always been very interested in cars and has always been concerned about the development of China's automotive industry.

Zhao Ruilong initially wanted to incorporate the new energy vehicle research and development project into the military-civilian integration development strategy so that many military enterprises could participate.

This matter has sparked considerable controversy, with many believing that involving military enterprises in research and development could potentially lead to the leakage of military technology.

Even if some military technologies that have been developed over a long period of time and effort do not play a significant role in national defense, they are still reluctant to convert them into civilian applications.

Ultimately, General Manager Shen overruled objections, improved the review mechanism, and supported military enterprises in participating in the research and development of new energy vehicles.

Now that this car is about to be officially launched, Mr. Shen must want to see how well this car, which has cost so much manpower, material resources and financial resources, is made.

of course.

Su Changli did this partly out of personal motives.

Zhao Ruilong had talked to him before.

China wants to pursue the new energy vehicle route to overtake Western automotive powerhouses.

It is far from enough for him to simply contribute money and effort, coordinate the participation of numerous units, and create one or several blockbuster cars to attract capital and talent.

Only through a series of preferential and supportive policies at the national level can market vitality be better stimulated and the new energy vehicle industry be developed more rapidly.

For example, in the early stages, limited technical capabilities and immature processes inevitably led to high costs for the three major components of new energy vehicles: batteries, motors, and electronic controls.

If the government doesn't provide subsidies for new energy vehicles, then automakers will have no choice but to sell them to consumers at very high prices.

High prices will inevitably affect car sales, and low sales will inevitably make it difficult for car companies to make a profit.

They can't make money, and they might even lose money.

How many car companies are still willing to continuously invest in research and development?

Even if you're willing to take a gamble for the future, how can you recruit talent and continue research and development if you don't have money?

Without profit to be made, naturally not many people will be willing to invest.

Once there are few investors, people will lose interest in new energy vehicles.

Without the participation of a large number of enterprises and fierce competition among them, it is simply impossible to develop.

and so……

Preferential subsidies are a must.

Whether it's subsidizing car manufacturers, reducing taxes for consumers, or other methods.

Only by finding ways to reduce the cost of purchasing cars and encouraging more people to buy new energy vehicles can the entire industry flourish.

How can a series of preferential and supportive policies be formulated and promulgated?

Gaining Mr. Shen's understanding and support is naturally of paramount importance.

……

Inside a luxury suite at the hotel.

The shrill ring of the cell phone woke Zhao Ruilong from his deep sleep.

The moment I opened my eyes, a burning pain shot through my left shoulder.

Turn around and look.

Although the wound had scabbed over, the deep teeth marks were still very clear.

Moving my gaze forward, I saw Zhang Xiaoxue sleeping soundly with her back to me.

Her hair was disheveled and hanging loosely over most of her shoulders.

Turning around, Zhao Ruilong picked up his phone and, upon seeing the caller ID, quickly answered the call.

"Hey Li, did President Shen agree?"

Sitting against the headboard, Zhao Ruilong held his phone in his right hand and pulled the blanket over Zhang Xiaoxue with his left.

Last night I said all the nice things, hoping to get Zhang Xiaoxue to give up on me.

Who knew that it would backfire and provoke her?

She clearly has excellent qualities and could definitely find a devoted man to spend her life with.

result……

She didn't care about anything else and went all out.

If she thinks Zhao Ruilong is a scumbag, then she'll be a scumbag woman too.

That’s all.

He forcefully pinned himself against the wall again.

How could Zhao Ruilong not grant her wish?

To make her realize that angering this scumbag would have very serious consequences.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for him to be tender and gentle towards women.

Zhang Xiaoxue, of course, didn't hold back and bit Zhao Ruilong's shoulder hard.

"Okay, okay, you'll be there at 9:30, right? Alright, I'll arrange it right away."

"Don't worry, no one plays golf in this cold weather anyway."

"Closing off the site for an hour or two is no big deal, and no one will notice."

"I know, I know, there's definitely nothing wrong with the car. Many people test drove it yesterday."

"Okay, no problem. I'll get in the car and take a test drive with you. Thanks, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruilong immediately notified Xiao Jinhua.

It is a great honor that Mr. Shen is coming to test drive the new car.

Even if it's not an official visit or inspection, but just a private observation and experience, careful preparation is still necessary.

After informing Xiao Jinhua, Zhao Ruilong was about to call Zhong Xiaoai.

Zhang Xiaoxue suddenly turned around, brushed aside the messy strands of hair on her face, and asked weakly:

"You've got some nerve, letting President Shen test drive your new car!"

"What do you mean by being bold? It was his strong support that enabled me to get so many research institutions and military enterprises involved in the joint development. Now that the car is finished and about to be launched, it's time to let him see how well it's made!"

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong dialed Zhong Xiaoai's number and asked her to quickly arrange for people to make preparations.

Zhang Xiaoxue, who was standing to the side, used one hand to hold the quilt in front of her and the other hand to support herself as she slowly sat up against the headboard.

Although he was exceptionally intelligent from a young age and had studied diligently for many years, he was also well-read and knowledgeable.

But no matter how much theoretical knowledge one has, it's hard to imagine the real feeling. Experiencing the transformation from girl to woman still left her with "a mix of emotions."

Seeing the bite mark on Zhao Ruilong's shoulder, Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't help but recall the madness of last night.

"Damn it, he's a real scumbag!"

"Knowing I've never been in a relationship before, they weren't gentle with me at all!"

"However... there are advantages to being a scumbag. Not only are they incredibly strong, but they're also very experienced!"

"It hurts a bit, but it feels pretty good to be a woman. I just don't know when this tearing pain will finally get better!"

With a sigh, seeing Zhao Ruilong finish his call, Zhang Xiaoxue said weakly:

"Give me the water!"

Zhao Ruilong picked up the mineral water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Zhang Xiaoxue.

"Why are you so listless, like you've lost half your life?"

"Isn't that obvious? You really wore me out last night, I didn't get a good night's sleep, how could I possibly have any energy!"

Zhang Xiaoxue grabbed the water bottle and gulped down more than half of it.

Zhao Ruilong sneered, "Looks like you're no good. You're not qualified to be a scumbag woman at all!"

"What do you care what I am!"

Zhang Xiaoxue finished the rest of the water in one go, threw the bottle at the foot of the bed, and lay down to continue sleeping.
