Invincible Smart-Guy System

The birth of the Huahe Alliance did not only make Dong Chen the beneficiary of it. All the brands that cooperated with it also benefited a lot from it. First of all, they gave seventy percent of their production capacity to Dong Chen's model production. Therefore, they could also get a lot of profit from it. This way, their idle and wasteful productivity would be fully utilized. However, the biggest help would be the sales of their own cars.    

    

Because they had changed into Dong Chen's engine, their cars were like galloping cars, Sharley, Jiabao, and low-end SUV models. The original price was less than 150,000 yuan, and it did not have a direct conflict with Dong Chen's products. Although it was not competitive in the first place, it had always been a cost-effective route. It had caused the cost-performance ratio to be very high before Dong Chen entered the market. Now, it was equipped with Dong Chen's engine. The competition and price-performance ratio had greatly increased, which gave the consumers more room to choose. Now, the consumers simply viewed the model of the brand changed engine as a sub-product of the Dongchen Automobile. It was just like Dong Chen's own low-drive brand.    

    

This was also because the consumers were very enthusiastic and paid attention to Dong Chen. Therefore... When the overseas brands started to lower their prices, the original price of the Dongchen Automobile was maintained. As for the brand under the Huahe Alliance, its sales did not drop but rose instead.    

    

The success of Huahe Alliance made the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Commerce very happy. They even immediately formulated a long-term development plan, and listed the Huahe Alliance as the main collaborative project of the Ministry of Commerce this year. Although during the whole process, the Ministry of Commerce only used the needle and thread as a catalyst. But other than Dong Chen, the Huahe Alliance was a state-owned enterprise. Therefore, the result of the Huahe Alliance had something to do with the Ministry of Commerce. It was also a huge achievement for them.    

    

It was precisely because of the success of the Huahe Alliance that the domestic car brand of the civilian industry fell into a predicament. It could be said that there was a fierce tiger in front of them, and there were pursuers behind them. They could not touch the production line above the middle level, but they only took the middle and low level route. There were also low-end products like the Volkswagen, Toyota, and Toyota that fought with them in the market. Other than that, the products of state-owned enterprises were basically the same as their market orientation. This way, they would have to face both domestic and international competitors at the same time.    

    

Now, all state-owned enterprises had joined the Huahe Alliance. With Dong Chen's fame and technology, he had increased his competitive strength and stabilized his footing in the wave of lowering prices. With this, the private companies became the bottom companies without any advantages. In order to turn this tragic situation around, the only way was to join the Huahe Alliance. Only in this way could they be like the state-owned enterprises, stabilizing their foundation and standing firm.    

    

However, when the Huahe Alliance was first established, other than Dong Chen, who was the leader of a private enterprise, all the companies following behind were all state-owned enterprises. The reason was that the Ministry of Commerce thought that state-owned enterprises had higher execution capabilities. They were unlike the private enterprises, which were full of variables and too marketing. But now, it seemed that the cooperation model of the Huahe Alliance was very successful. This was also why there were constantly private companies begging the Ministry of Commerce. They hoped that the Huahe Alliance could open its doors to the private companies in the country.    

    

Zhang Yunfeng had never considered collaborating with private companies because it was too much of a market. Instead, it was not easy to control the situation. It was like fighting the flood and taking risks. Those who rushed to the front line were soldiers and not workers. The workers might be beaten up because of salary and treatment. But the soldiers would not, because they had extremely strong execution abilities. When the order required them to make sacrifices, they would never doubt or neglect it.    

    

At first, they felt that it was not easy to negotiate with private companies, but now, with the success of the Huahe Alliance, the private companies started to seek them out themselves. This was a situation that Zhang Yunfeng had never thought of before.    

    

Qirui, Jiili, Zhongtai, Great Wall and Haima, and other companies all made requests to the Ministry of Commerce to join the Huahe Alliance. Private companies were eager to join. Even the Ministry of Commerce did not expect this. Logically speaking, the Ministry of Commerce could only make requests and regulations for private companies in terms of macropolicies, but it did not have the ability to directly manage these companies. It wasn't that they didn't want to bring private companies together, but they felt that it would be troublesome to communicate with them. But now, private companies had no choice but to come. The Ministry of Commerce looked at it from a long-term perspective. They also felt that they should absorb all the private companies.    

    

The one who contacted Zhang Yunfeng was still Director Liu. This time, a total of twelve private car manufacturers requested from the Ministry of Commerce, which basically covered all the brands of civilian cars. This situation was also highly valued by the higher-ups, and they had given instructions. That was to try to facilitate cooperation, so that not only would Huahe Alliance become a refuge for state-owned enterprises, but also a refuge for them. If they could form a united faction... To fight against foreign brands together... Then, for the entire domestic market... It had a great strategic significance.    

    

When Director Liu gave the list of private companies to Zhang Yunfeng, Zhang Yunfeng roughly weighed it. He said, "Qirui, Jiili, and Biardi are all relatively powerful and large-scale private companies. These three companies also have the ability to produce products for Dong Chen. However, other brands do not have this ability. With their manufacturing standards. Some of them are not enough to think that Dong Chen is the contractor, so Dong Chen cannot request to borrow their production capacity. If they joined, they would not be like other companies, only getting the authorization of Dong Chen's engine. Then, will the other companies in the alliance have any objections?"    

    

Director Liu nodded and said, "Everyone is buying tickets to enter the buffet, but some people will come in and eat with everyone if they don't buy tickets. It is certain that other people have objections, but we also need to find a balance point. For these low-end and weak companies, you can't directly reject them. Also, you can't directly open the door and let them in. Otherwise, the people who buy tickets to enter will definitely feel unbalanced."    

    

Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "This balance point is not easy to find."    

    

"That's right." Director Liu nodded and agreed. He said, "In my opinion, this matter cannot be rushed. For these companies, we must set a relatively fair rule, or else it will destroy the current balance of the alliance." After saying that, he said, "How about we divide it into two groups? We will first have a fight with the Jiili, Qirui, and Biardi families. According to the previous agreement of the Huahe Alliance, if they accept it... We'll first recruit them, then we'll think of a way to deal with the remaining ones. "    

    

Zhang Yunfeng did not have any objections and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you and the leaders of the Business Department to arrange a meeting with them."    

    

Director Liu smiled and said, "That's easy. We can arrange it immediately. As long as we make a phone call, their person-in-charge will come to Yanjing within 24 hours."    

    

After saying that, Director Liu looked at Zhang Yunfeng and said with a deep meaning, "Actually, it's definitely a good situation for Dong Chen to recruit a few more companies. The previous issue of the Medallion of the Vehicle was calling for Dong Chen to enter the North America market. In my opinion, now it's time to make the export first. The annual production capacity of these three brands has exceeded a million units. Even if Jili removed the Volvo, there would be at least one million and two hundred thousand units of annual production. Once these three brands reached a partnership, they would be able to produce at least two million vehicles for Dong Chen every year. With these two million vehicles as the export, I think it will be a very big market. "    

    

Zhang Yunfeng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "If that's the case, then we can consider the export first. After the export market opens and takes up a certain portion of the overseas market, then we can start purchasing the local overseas enterprises, or cooperate in production. This needs to be properly planned. "    

    

In total, the annual production of 3.2 million units was 70% given to Dong Chen. It will have at least 2.2 million units of productivity. If it is modified by Dong Chen... Then the productivity could easily be increased to 3 million units, which would be an extra 3 million units of productivity. It was indeed possible to open the overseas market, but Zhang Yunfeng was building a production line. It also had at least two million units of production capacity. The next step... Maybe it was time to talk to Director Liu about the expansion of the production line. It involved the approval, audit, land, construction and so on and so forth. If the higher ups nodded, everything would be much faster.    

    

Zhang Yunfeng planned in his heart to develop City J into his biggest industrial base. Then the two thousand acres of land from before would be far from enough. Even the remaining land area of the entire City J's hi-tech zone might not even be enough. If that was the case, he might as well apply for an industrial base project through the government. He would directly turn the hi-tech zone into Dong Chen's industrial base. Then, he would have more space to concentrate on the projects to operate industrial production in City J. The most important thing was... Once the scale of the industrial base was formed, it would definitely play a pivotal role in the economic growth of City J. After all, City J was his hometown. At this time, he would be a taxpayer wherever he went. Zhang Yunfeng was naturally more willing to spend the money on his hometown.    

    

Just as Zhang Yunfeng was thinking about the feasibility of the whole thing, Director Liu smiled and said, "No matter what your plan is, you have to absorb these three companies first. I will contact the person in charge of the business department now and ask them to arrange a meeting as soon as possible. "    

    

Zhang Yunfeng nodded and asked, "Director Liu, if I want to set up an unprecedented large-scale industrial base in City J, what kind of help and support can the government give me?"    

    

Director Liu asked curiously, "An unprecedented scale? What kind of scale can you tell me in detail?"    

    

Zhang Yunfeng said, "In terms of cars alone, the annual production is more than ten million units. After all, Dong Chen's future consideration will be the global market, and the top automotive manufacturers in the world. The annual production of cars has basically exceeded ten million units. Dong Chen wants to occupy a bigger market. Their production capacity can only be higher than this number, and not lower than this number."    

    

Director Liu frowned and asked, "Since we are considering this from this aspect, I'm afraid that City J is not a suitable place. City J is an inland city, and its economy is not very developed."    

    

"This is a small matter." Zhang Yunfeng said, "Although it is an inland city, it is only 200 kilometers away from the coastline."    

    

"No." Director Liu shook his head solemnly and said, "If it is a medium-sized city, it does not matter. But... What you need to do is a super-large scale, and your focus will be in the overseas market in the future. Geography must be carefully chosen. Right now, inland is not as good as coastal cities. This is already a publicly acknowledged fact, and the coastal is much stronger than inland. There is a difference of several times. Look at the five lakes in the United States. Now, they were basically all desolate. The most miserable was Detroit. How glorious was it before, but now, it is almost a ghost town. If they chose to develop in the inland cities, there wouldn't have been any problems at the start. But once there is a problem, it will be a time bomb!"    

    

Zhang Yunfeng pursed his lips for a while, thinking about the seriousness of the matter. The inland was indeed not comparable to the coastal cities. This was not just a coastal city by the sea, but also by a port. Most importantly, the economic structure of the past few decades had always been focused on coastal development. Therefore, the first tier of coastal cities, be it the scale of the city or the infrastructure construction... The choice of inland cities was much better. It was equivalent to adding a shackle to one's neck. This shackle was insignificant at the beginning. However, as it continued to expand, this shackle might bring about suffocating consequences!    

    

However, Zhang Yunfeng hoped that he could place his property in City J, a city that he had grown up in since childhood. To him, the significance of the City J was far greater than any other city. Because this was his hometown, no one didn't want to use their own abilities. If he made some contributions to his hometown, if this large-scale industrial base were to be established in City J... Zhang Yunfeng didn't dare to say anything else, but with Dong Chen's strength... As well as the solid support provided by the Super Learning System, he would definitely make the City J one of the provincial cities. However, just like what Director Liu said, if he chose the City J... It's like putting a time bomb on yourself.    

    

Director Liu saw Zhang Yunfeng frowning and thinking, so he said, "I still recommend you to choose the coastal city in the southeast. The local government's horizons are broadened. And it also has a forward-looking nature. With Dong Chen's current strength, he should be able to see further. Any coastal city will be treated as a treasure by the local government. In order to keep you, they would do their best to satisfy all your requests even without the help of the higher-ups. It's much better than you being in an inland city."    

    

Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "I understand this in my heart, but I still hope to develop in City J. Even if I have to pay a certain price, it is still within my acceptable range."    

    

Immediately, Zhang Yunfeng's eyes lit up and said, "City J follows the Yangtze River and is not far from the port. The hi-tech zone is by the river. If I build a man-made port in hi-tech zone, will it solve the problem of transportation in the sea? "    

    

Director Liu shook his head helplessly, and said, "This is not only a problem of transportation, but also a problem of basic infrastructure. To put it simply, coastal cities are high-speed trains. As for inland cities, they are both connected at an average speed of 100 kilometers per hour. If you give up on the high-speed rail and choose to develop on both lines, you will be restricted. It doesn't just come from a simple level of transportation."
