Everyone needs to investigate, except Yao Yuan. He knows the situation in various places better than anyone else.
In his previous life, he worked at the Research Institute of State-owned Enterprises for more than ten years and traveled to various industrial areas across the country. Because the research required a large amount of basic data and required the use of experimental data from the past few decades, he instead conducted research on the industries and industries in each region. History is best understood.
A car comes from scratch, involves hundreds of sub-categories, and requires supplies from thousands of factories. When it comes to the assembly plant, it actually just completes an assembly work.
Given the current situation in the country, it is obviously impossible to achieve such a detailed industrial division of labor.
China's industrial layout began with the 156 Plan. In the 1960s when China and the Soviet Union were at odds, the country underwent a major adjustment, which was the famous Third Front Plan. A large number of factories along the coast were moved to the Third Front. The purpose was to protect the country when the country was invaded. Ability to save a backup of industrial systems.
Later, Chengdu Aircraft Company, which produced advanced fighter aircraft such as J-10 and J-20, was the 132 Factory at that time, and Factory 132 was separated from Factory 112. Factory 112 was Shenfei, the big brother of the aviation industry.
In order to cope with the tense situation at that time, when the Third Front Plan was implemented, Factory 112 was ordered to select a group of people and machinery from the Northeast to build a new factory in the valley in central Sichuan. If the Soviet Union launched an invasion against us, Factory 112 would be destroyed. There is also a 132 factory.
This model was commonplace at the time, including in colleges and universities.
We can see that there are mostly two leading enterprises in the national defense industry, both of which were formed by the split of the Third Front Plan into two.
Therefore, China's heavy industry, especially the national defense industry, can be roughly divided into two lines in terms of layout. The first is the coastal area, and the second is the ring zone centered in central Sichuan.
Yao Yuan did not choose Tianfu on a whim, but because of the strong industrial supporting capabilities in the Tianfu area. Almost all of the thirteen machinery factories he bought had been supplied by major national defense industry companies, and he was very familiar with the production of accessories. .
To put it bluntly, the Tianfu area already has a relatively complete industrial chain.
Looking at Guangdong Province, precisely because of its geographical location, the industry in Guangdong Province will develop into light industry, and then into the tertiary industry, focusing on high-tech industries.
If we start the automobile industry in Guangdong Province, we must start the production chain from scratch, that is, the upstream parts factories. Not only does it take a long time, but the investment must also be more.
They all guessed correctly. Yao Yuan is a person who attaches great importance to his hometown, so he defied all opinions and decided to place his passenger car production base in Xihai County.
Later, the automobile industry in Guangdong Province became very developed. This was because the transportation and logistics situation 20 years later was completely different from what it is now. In other words, the logistics costs brought by upstream parts factories outside the region can actually be controlled at a very low level. low degree.
If the cost price of each domestically produced BMW component is 100 yuan, then the logistics cost of transporting it from Tianfu to Nangang is about 10 yuan, accounting for 10% of the cost. This is a very high ratio. But in order to localize and cultivate our own upstream industries, this price needs to be paid.
In this case, as BMW's production capacity increases, more and more upstream parts factories will be needed. BMW marketing department staff spend money every day to find parts factories across the country. Logistics costs are no longer the primary consideration.
Again, the key is to solve the problem first.
Yao Yuan realized the importance of cutting the knot quickly and simply said, "The Pajero model produced by BMW Motors, the domestic model is called BMW x5. In addition to being supplied domestically, it will also be exported. The export model is the brand name of Warrior Mitsubishi Motors."
He looked at the Deputy Secretary-General, "Deputy Secretary-General, BMW's main products are mainly exported and can earn foreign exchange. The 700,000 passenger car production base is mainly sold domestically. The main products are 100,000-class and 50,000-class products.
A sedan."
Yao Yuan smiled and waved his hand to signal them to be silent, and then said, "BMW is positioned as a high-end luxury brand, with a price of more than 300,000 yuan. The 500,000-unit passenger car production base is an independent brand, positioned as a mid- to low-end sedan, making people buy
Affordable and reliable sedan.”
"Two truck production bases have also been determined. One is located in Tianfu. The upstream supporting construction there is basically completed. We have no better choice. Director Xia, deputy secretary-general, as an enterprise, we must first adapt to the development laws of the market.
.Another truck production base...Director Xia, I am willing to listen to the opinions of the Planning Commission."
This is his final answer.
Submitting the location of a truck production base to the Planning Commission was his biggest concession.
Xia Honghua stared at Yao Yuan for a while, knowing that there was no room for bargaining. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "They say you have a strong sense of country, but now it seems that it is true. You can let go of the petrochemical base, the automobile production base, and the Lingang Industrial Park.
In Nangang, it seems that you are very optimistic about the development of Nangang."
Sighing, he said, "Well, I respect your choice. However, the 500,000 passenger car production base must be constructed under the overall coordination of the state. It will only benefit you and not harm you. I will report it tomorrow and make arrangements as soon as possible.
Experts came over to conduct project inspections."
Returning the favor, Yao Yuan smiled and said thanks, "Thank you to the government."
The deputy secretary-general breathed a sigh of relief and only released a 100,000-unit truck production base. This result was acceptable. He noticed that Xia Honghua mentioned the words "petrochemical base" and immediately became wary again, but he was very patient.
Di did not continue on this topic.
The petrochemical base is a project reported to the provincial government. The deputy secretary-general also knows that this is a super petrochemical base planned by the provincial government based on Yao Yuan's request with an annual output of 800,000 tons of ethylene and an annual output value of over 1 billion US dollars.
He's not too worried about the project.
Xia Honghua didn't know what the deputy secretary-general was thinking. He said, "Which car company are you going to introduce to the 500,000 passenger car production base? You won't start from scratch, right?"
"Why not?" Yao Yuan asked.
First introduce joint ventures, then gradually localize, absorb technology, and launch independent brands. This is a path that domestic car companies are currently trying. It has been going on for 30 years. It has been criticized by the people for "spending money to get out of the market but not doing so."
"Change back to technology".
Even if it is such a path, everyone is still exploring it now.
And Yao Yuan clearly knows that foreign car companies only want to eat the market and have no intention of transferring technology, so he will never put his eggs in one basket.
He didn't even want to do that with BMW, but through a series of cunning operations, he got Mitsubishi Motors to sign an OEM agreement - the Pajero off-road vehicle assembled and produced by BMW was sold under the BMW brand.
Xia Honghua was stunned and asked, "In this way, it will be completed and put into production in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. Xiao Yao, you said on the phone that the passenger car production base can reach the maximum design capacity in five years at most."
"Yes, this goal has not changed." Yao Yuan said seriously, "I hired 10,000 technicians and skilled workers from East Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia and other countries, and purchased a large amount of automotive technology. With this foundation,
It can take at most one year to develop your own car. To be honest, I am worried that the construction of the production base will not keep up with the progress. After all, it is a large base covering an area of 10,000 acres."
Xia Honghua stared into Yao Yuan's eyes and asked solemnly, "Are you serious?"
The deputy secretary-general even swallowed his saliva, "Mr. Yao, building a car is no joke."
The two of them just stared and said, Xiao Yao, you have to be calm, you have to be rational, you have to use reason to overcome stupidity...
