King of Industry

  Chapter 491 establishes a "boutique" concept

   After returning to the guest house from the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, it was nearly six o'clock.

  Minister Fang originally wanted to stay with Zhao Guoyang for a meal, but considering that he still had a tough battle to fight tomorrow that was comparable to a "thesis defense", he had to give up for the time being.

   After eating something indiscriminately in the cafeteria of the Property Administration Bureau, Zhao Guoyang returned to his room.

  The sound of him opening the door startled Mu Aijun next door.

  The Director Mu opened the door and saw that Zhao Guoyang had come back, so he waved to him quickly, signaling him to come in and have a chat first.

   Entering the room, Zhao Guoyang saw Director Mu's face beaming with joy.

   Seeing this scene, Zhao Guoyang was a little puzzled, he touched his chin, and said with a little doubt: "Uh, Director Mu..."

  Before Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Mu Aijun whispered mysteriously: "Guoyang, there is good news!"

   "Do you know, tomorrow's 'all-terrain vehicle' competition will not be presided over by the deputy director, but the director Jia Mingyuan himself will host it."

  As soon as Mu Aijun said this, Zhao Guoyang immediately understood what he meant.

   As the first domestic project of "all-terrain vehicle", it would be understandable for the State Administration of Assets Management to be presided over by a deputy director.

   But in this way, the financial subsidies for the three companies that finally got the production quota may be very limited.

  If Director Jia Mingyuan presides over it in person, it at least represents the country's attention to the "all-terrain vehicle" project, and it will undoubtedly be more inclined in terms of cost and policy.

  Therefore, after hearing the news, Mu Aijun was of course excited.

  Zhao Guoyang said "Oh", as if he remembered something, and asked, "Director Mu, where did you get this news, you are much more informed than me..."

  Mu Aijun laughed and said: "Guoyang, speaking of it, it's all thanks to you. If it wasn't for your 'researcher Zhao' face, why would the boss of the heavy riding group talk to me about this!"

  When Mu Aijun said this, Zhao Guoyang immediately understood.

   The matter of feelings was told to the director of the factory by Li Qinan, the chairman of the heavy riding group.

  Looking at Director Mu like this, he seems to have a good impression of Li Qinan, a big guy.

  Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly, and said jokingly: "Director Mu, this Heavy Cavalry Group may still be our competitor. Can we believe Mr. Li's words?"

  When Mu Aijun heard the words, he waved his hands disapprovingly and said, "Guoyang, you should relax about this."

   "Mr. Li told me in private that no matter who gets the three places, they will re-ride the group and will have a good cooperation with our Hongda Machinery Factory in the future..."

   "Well, Mr. Li has a long-term view!" Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but speak.

  Mu Aijun nodded approvingly and said: "I know that a large part of what Mr. Li said is due to you, Guoyang, but I still don't want to let go of such an opportunity easily."

   "It's not easy for our Hongda Machinery Factory to get to where we are today. If we want to survive in the motorcycle industry in the future, it is essential to have a good relationship with giants like the heavy riding group."

   "Sometimes, it is helpless to make use of Guoyang's 'capable person effect' to make a fuss..."

  Listening to Director Mu's heartfelt words, Zhao Guoyang not only did not have any dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he appreciated the other party's calmness very much.

  Thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang said loudly: "Director Mu, what you said is wrong, maybe Mr. Li really fell in love with you at first sight."

  Mu Aijun was stunned for a moment, before realizing it immediately.

   This person stretched out his fingers and nodded Zhao Guoyang, and said helplessly, "You, when will you learn how to play tricks with the leader."

   "Come on, you've been busy all afternoon, are you tired? Go back and rest! There's an important battle waiting for us tomorrow morning..."

   Coming out of Director Mu's room, Zhao Guoyang went back to wash up, and then lay down on the bed.

  After lying down, his thoughts could not be separated from tomorrow's game.

  Actually, Zhao Guoyang has no doubts about his own "Hongda Machinery Factory" winning a production quota for "All Terrain Vehicles".

   Not to mention anything else, just with Li Kejian and Ji Chongxuan, two heavyweight technical masters sitting in charge, the chance of losing the election is infinitely close to zero.

   Zhao Guoyang is now thinking more about how to establish a "boutique" concept for everyone.

   After all, the production process of "all-terrain vehicles" is actually not complicated.

   To some extent, it is just a model derived from a motorcycle.

  But with two more wheels, the development direction of "all-terrain vehicles" has several more branches than motorcycles.

  It’s like in motorcycles, aside from models such as “straddle type”, “pedal type” and “curved beam”, just talking about the development direction, there are several types such as urban type, outdoor type, and sports car type.

   When it comes to "all-terrain vehicles", there are more development directions, such as "agricultural type", "off-road type", "special road condition type" and so on.

  According to Zhao Guoyang's idea, if you want to better promote the development of the domestic "all-terrain vehicle" business and catch up with the advanced level of Europe, America and island countries as soon as possible, the first step at the beginning should be to consider "boutique products".

  Because only if the first step is solid, the road ahead will be easier.

  However, Zhao Guoyang also understands in his heart that the concept of "boutique" basically doesn't have much domestic market in this day and age.

  In industry, especially in the machinery manufacturing industry, what everyone recognizes more is the model of increasing output and increasing scale.

  Of course, Zhao Guoyang is still unable to predict what the meeting will be like tomorrow.

   But in any case, he has already settled on the basic plan, and he will see how deep he needs to go when he sees it.

  …

  At eight o'clock in the morning, the large conference room on the top floor of the State Administration of Assets was already full of people.

  Today in this conference room, an important meeting will be held, that is, "National Machinery Manufacturing Industry, All-Terrain Vehicle Project Competition".

  That is, at this meeting, the State Administration of Assets and relevant departments will select three from the following 18 machinery manufacturing companies to issue "all-terrain vehicle" production licenses.

  If you can get this production license, you can not only enjoy some subsidies and policies of the country.

  The most important thing is that this is a great recognition and honor for the three outstanding companies.

   This is also why the big conference room was already full of people when it was nearly half an hour before the meeting started.

  The 18 machinery manufacturing companies participating in the meeting were scheduled early in the morning.

   Therefore, the position occupied by each enterprise has already been arranged in the conference room.

   After Zhao Guoyang entered the venue after Director Mu, he saw a sign with the name of his Hongda Machinery Factory in the front row in the middle.

  Noticing that Mu Aijun beside him was still looking left and right to find his position, Zhao Guoyang quickly reminded: "Director Mu, we are over there..."

  Looking in the direction of Zhao Guoyang's finger, Mu Aijun also found the seat card.

   "Uh... put our factory in such a prominent place?" Mu Aijun said a little speechlessly.

  Zhao Guoyang can probably guess what's going on. Needless to say, this must be a drama arranged by Yao Gang, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

   Having met Fang Xuesen yesterday, Zhao Guoyang knew who would be involved in today's competition.

  In addition to Jia Mingyuan, the head of the Inherent Assets Management Bureau, Yao Gang, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, was one of the leaders who presided over the meeting.

  Based on Minister Yao's familiarity with and recognition of him, it is only natural that he arranged the location of his factory in such a conspicuous position in spite of himself.

  Among the suspicious eyes of a group of people, Zhao Guoyang winked at Director Mu, and the two sat down in two seats in the first row.

  After sitting down, facing the scrutiny of the surrounding people, to be honest, Mu Aijun felt a little uneasy.

  However, Zhao Guoyang looked indifferent. He didn't pay attention to other people's eyes at all, but looked at what he wanted to know.

  On the rostrum at the front desk, the staff put the signs with the names of several bigwigs there early.

  In addition to Jia Mingyuan and Yao Gang, the attendance of Li Kejian and Ji Chongxuan was decided early in the morning, and Zhao Guoyang naturally knew it very well.

  The name of the last boss is Huang Hansheng.

   Although Zhao Guoyang had never met Huang Hansheng, his name was familiar to him.

  He is the secretary-general of the National Motorcycle Industry Association, and has been active in the formulation of rules for the motorcycle industry and the approval of motorcycle standardization.

  Although the National Motorcycle Industry Association is only a non-governmental organization, it does not have any official title. But Secretary-General Huang himself has a title.

  As far as Zhao Guoyang knows, Huang Hansheng is the deputy director of the National Motorcycle Quality Supervision Center and a senior engineer who enjoys the allowance of the State Council.

  In the motorcycle industry, this man can be considered a remarkable figure.

  On the rostrum, there were only five people in total. Even Huang Hansheng, who had a relatively low status, was a figure in the motorcycle industry who stomped and trembled.

  The country attaches great importance to this "all-terrain vehicle" project, which can also be seen.

  When Zhao Guoyang looked at the names on the rostrum without distraction, some corporate executives and vice presidents on both sides and behind had everything to say.

The boss of a large machinery factory squinted his eyes and snorted: "Hey, Lao Bao, who is that young man who looks like two to five to eighty thousand? What kind of Hongda Machinery Factory is this? I don't know I haven't heard of it, why is it placed in the middle position?"

   "Uh, I'm also confused..." The person next to him called Lao Bao was also puzzled.
