Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 675 Zhao Sanben's Conditions

At ten o'clock in the morning, as usual, Zhu Hongwen randomly inspected several units and then returned to the municipal government.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I asked the secretary if the mayor had returned.

The secretary said he came back yesterday.

Zhu Hongwen nodded, handed the bag to the secretary, turned and walked towards the mayor's office.

On the way, I was still thinking about how to tell Qi Tongwei about this.

After three months, he finally got a feel for the other person's personality.

This is a person with a strong ambition for a career in politics.

This is actually a weakness, or a breakthrough point.

If one wants to pursue a career in politics, then he definitely needs a good reputation among the people. He thinks that if the three million could be converted into a few primary schools, the effect might be better.

At this time, Qi Tongwei was listening to the work reports of Deputy Mayor Jiang Hua and Xu Lian on industrial vehicles and Beishan Automobile.

The first batch of forklifts has rolled off the production line. They are very conventional three-ton diesel forklifts with good performance in all aspects.

In addition, Beishan Engine Factory, Gearbox Factory and Drive Axle Factory are also being planned and built.

Sales are also slowly getting back on track, which can be regarded as a small rein for Beishan, a steel city.

In general, Qi Tongwei's industrial layout has basically taken shape.

One is the future steel, and the other is industrial special vehicles. In addition to a forklift, cranes, excavators, etc. are also future development directions.

Qi Tongwei was very satisfied, "Very good, next we just need to increase our visibility and then we will be able to open up sales channels.

I have only one requirement for industrial machinery: no cutting corners, it must comply with national safety standards, and ensure quality and quantity. It is not like other products, where temporary publicity can only bring short-term benefits.

Ultimately, it all depends on word of mouth, and we build our Beishan brand bit by bit.

We need to put more effort into making it usable, practical, and safe.”

Jiang Hua and Xu Lian listened and nodded repeatedly.

Qi Tongwei tapped the table with both hands and said to Jiang Hua with a tone of having completed a task: "Comrade Jiang Hua, you are in charge of industry and you are more professional than me. Now I have built an industrial engine for you.

It's your job to make this car run fast. I'll try not to be your mother-in-law in the future."

Qi Tongwei is well aware that his strength is marketing, and his professionalism in the industrial field is by no means comparable to that of Jiang Hua, a master of engineering.

After a pause, he offered support, saying, "I hope to explore this diligently without violating the general direction and rules."

Jiang Hua said seriously: "Don't worry, if the municipal government has given me so much support and I still can't make it happen, then I will quit my job as deputy mayor and go home to farm as soon as possible."

The three of them laughed.

Qi Tongwei said: "Well, determination is a good thing. We are afraid of not having determination and being hesitant, which will ultimately lead to us accomplishing nothing.

But we can't go too far. Since I came here, I've heard a lot about Governor Anbang's history. He's our teacher, and we can learn from him and boldly explore the path of reform. But we must remember the limits of boldness. Governor Anbang has already learned these lessons for us, and we must not repeat the same mistakes.

Xu Hua nodded.

Qi Tongwei looked at Xu Lian again and asked about the progress of Beishan Automobile's work.

Beishan Automobile, which Xu Lian is in charge of, has always been the focus of Qi Tongwei's attention.

He was able to delegate power to Xu Hua with such confidence because he knew the prospects of industrial steel. Although it was sluggish now, the future was promising.

Beishan Automobile is different. It is a signboard of Beishan and will probably be tied to Qi Tongwei for many years to come.

It not only concerns the future development prospects of Beishan, but also Qi Tongwei's career. Promoting Beishan Automobile is to promote Qi Tongwei, and its importance is self-evident.

Xu Lian said: "The current progress is moving in line with the established goals. Our cars will be able to be mass-produced at the beginning of next year and will definitely be available on the market in May."

Qi Tongwei got straight to the point and asked, "How is the sales network being rolled out?"

Xu Lian replied, "The Han River is basically paved, and we are already planning to build stores in various cities. We also sent inspection teams to several surrounding provinces the day before yesterday."

Qi Tongwei nodded and instructed: "As for sales staff, I think we should give priority to selecting from our laid-off workers."

Xu Lian hesitated. "Mayor, they don't have any sales experience. Their Mandarin isn't even very standard, and they don't know much about the car's performance or related information. Will this affect our sales?"

"In the province's twelve cities, there are only a few hundred sales and after-sales personnel at most. We have over 400,000 laid-off workers. Can't we find a few hundred outstanding talents?" Qi Tongwei reminded him: "Lao Xu, our mission is secondary to build cars. The most important thing is to solve employment problems.

Even if GDP is a little lower, development is a little slower, and finances are a little worse, it doesn't matter much. The most important thing is that everyone has food to eat and everyone has a job. First solve the problem of food and clothing, then seek to get rich. This is the political task!

Xu Lian finally woke up from his dream: "Yes, Mayor, you are right. I have put the cart before the horse."

Qi Tongwei said: "Of course, your opinion is correct. Regarding this point, our city's training work must also be carried out, and the direction must be selected in accordance with the needs of our city's future development.

We should open more training courses. I think sales is a very good direction. It is not enough to just train production-related skills.

Sales are also very important. Many of the products produced by our Beishan factories are actually quite good, but they just can’t be sold.

In addition to the problems of the times, I think we also have some personal problems. For example, we are not as good as foreign companies in marketing.

We have to catch up quickly and sell our products. The era when good wine needs no bush is over.

Everyone says that we should move towards informatization. What is informatization?

It brings in the information we need promptly and quickly, and also displays the information and image of Beishan promptly and quickly.

Being one step ahead in everything is informatization."

Xu Lian concluded his speech, "Yes, why did Beishan go from being an important national industrial city to becoming a burden city? It is because our cadres and our people did not realize the importance of informatization.

Working in isolation will eventually lead to being eliminated by the times and the world."

Qi Tongwei said, "Well, everyone's opinions are very unanimous. It seems that we must also speed up our work on adult education. Lao Xu, I'll leave it to you."

Xu Lian said: "Okay, I will hold a special meeting with relevant comrades later and implement it as soon as possible."

Qi Tongwei nodded, and then asked with concern about another job of Beishan Automobile, publicity work.

Long before the construction of Beishan Automobile, he decided to invite the sketch king Zhao Sanben to advertise for him on the Spring Festival Gala. As the end of the year was getting closer, he had not heard any further news.

Xu Lian said: "We are still in talks with Zhao Sanben's team. Their offer is too high, and they only agree to shoot a separate commercial and are unwilling to include our Beishan Auto lines in the Spring Festival Gala."

Qi Tongwei understood that this approach was unprecedented, if not unprecedented, so he asked, "How much does it cost to shoot a commercial alone?"

"Two hundred million!"
