It goes without saying that talent is extremely important for development. Han Songlin naturally knows this very well. Otherwise, what is the point of offering such a high level of benefits and perks? It is to retain talent and attract talent.
'Lin Wei started designing motorcycles on her own during her undergraduate years, based on her interests. Some time ago, she told me that she wanted to have her designs built. And then, all this happened!'
Wang Huicheng heard this and realised that there was actually such a story behind it!
'Sure enough, this interest is the best teacher!'
Han Songlin smiled and made no comment on this.
Having an interest in something good is one thing, but having an interest in something really bad is quite another!
'So, now that the motorcycle has been built, what are you going to do next?'
Han Songlin pondered for a moment, and naturally knew what Wang Huicheng was concerned about.
'Fuxing Power will build a dedicated motorcycle engine production line. As for the production of complete motorcycles, Fuxing Power will not get involved!'
In Han Songlin's definition, Fuxing Power is a power company that focuses on the research, development and production of various engines.
As for anything else, it is not within the scope of Fuxing Power.
There is no need to say how lacking engines are in China nowadays. As long as there are good engines, there will be no shortage of orders.
Wang Huicheng was a little disappointed after hearing Han Songlin's words.
Although it is good to make engines, it is more impressive to make complete vehicles!
When people buy a car, do they care whether the parts on the car are produced by a certain company?
No, they don't!
When buying a car, people look at the brand of the car, and they believe in the reputation of the brand.
Han Songlin's words were not yet finished: 'But Fuxing Industry can build a motorcycle factory in Jiangzhong!'
Nowadays, cars are not a means of transport for the whole population, motorcycles are!
A motorcycle is both a means of transport and a means of production.
Many people use motorcycles to transport goods for business, and there is even a very specific term for this: motorbike taxis!
A motorbike taxi is the same as a taxi, except that one uses a car and the other a motorcycle.
Han Songlin remembers that in big cities, motorbike taxis were active until after the year 2000 before gradually disappearing.
However, in small counties and towns, they are still very much in use.
Han Songlin doesn't know what the situation is like in other cities, but he knows that in Chengdu, from the 1990s to the early 2000s, there were many three-wheeled motorcycles carrying passengers.
It feels like a sudden discovery of a money-making opportunity!
Now taxis are more expensive, but people have a huge demand for travel in the city.
This has given rise to the illegal taxi industry. Wait, can three-wheeled motorcycles carrying passengers go through the formalities?
If you make this kind of passenger tricycle, make it fully enclosed, as long as it can protect against the wind and rain, it'll be fine.
Then you should be able to sell quite a few!
Chengdu alone could eat up a few thousand units.
Besides Chengdu, are there demands in other cities in China?
There definitely are.
It doesn't seem like there would be any problems selling tens of thousands of units.
In addition to passenger tricycles, you could also make cargo tricycles.
Many people who run small businesses need cargo tricycles.
Besides the huge market demand in China, there is also demand in foreign markets.
For example, Southeast Asia and Africa.
This business has great potential!
'Songlin, Han Songlin!'
Han Songlin came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Wang Huicheng, 'Sorry, I was thinking about something! Motorcycles have quite a promising future. Fuxing Industry will set up a production plant in Jiangzhong as soon as possible, but the factory site...'
Wang Huicheng waved his hand and said, 'Don't worry, the city will definitely give its full support.'
Han Songlin didn't have high expectations for the support that Jiangzhong could provide, because he knew that in the end, he would have to rely on himself.
If you rely on support to get things done, you won't get anywhere.
A company needs to have a fighting spirit. Only when support comes at the right time can it take off and soar to great heights.
After finishing talking about business, Han Songlin was ready to leave.
He couldn't talk about it here, so he would wait for dinner at the city hall.
The chef at the city hall cafeteria makes good food, but Han Songlin doesn't mind a meal either!
'Wait! There's something else.' Wang Huicheng patted his head, almost forgetting about this.
Han Songlin looked puzzled. What else could it be?
It's not something bad, is it?
I knew it, nothing good can come from this visit to the city hall.
'Wang Shi, you talk, I'll listen!' Han Songlin was full of thoughts, but he still kept a smile on his face.
'It's like this. Are you interested in the machine tool industry?'
Machine tools?
Han Songlin would be lying if he said he wasn't interested.
Machine tools are the mother of industry!
The entire machinery industry is built on machine tools, or rather, human modern industrial civilisation was built on machine tools.
Han Songlin nodded gently: 'It seems that there aren't any machine tool companies in Jiangzhong, are there?'
Is Jiangzhong going to introduce a machine tool company?
That shouldn't be the case!
That company is so short-sighted that it would locate its production plant in Jiangzhong?
Businessmen come for profit, and it is unlikely that they would do something unprofitable.
Not everyone is like Han Songlin.
Even if they are like Han Songlin, all they think about every day is making the company profitable.
A company that is not profitable is like a ship that is about to sink.
No matter how lofty your ideals are, if the ship is sinking, it is no good.
'It is true that we don't have a machine tool company in Jiangzhong, but we do have Yandu next to us!'
Yandu?
Apart from salt production, does Yandu have any industry?
Yandu is less than 40 kilometres from Jiangzhong. It is quite rare for two cities to be so close to each other.
In the future, there is a view that Yandu and Jiangzhong should develop together, and the direction of urban development should be towards each other.
Some even say that they should be directly merged.
Han Songlin said he was very puzzled. What does Yandu have to do with you, Wang Huicheng?
Wang Huicheng probably saw Han Songlin's confusion, or perhaps he simply explained it: 'I used to work in Yandu!'
I see!
Han Songlin seemed to understand, but also not to understand.
Han Songlin really didn't know where Wang Huicheng worked before.
In his heart, Han Songlin felt that he had made a small mistake!
Life is a circle, with one circle within another.
No one can escape.
Some people think they have escaped, but in the end they find that they are still in the circle.
This is not the time to lament!
What Han Songlin wants to say is that he should understand the past of these rulers.
From a person's past, one can infer what they will do next.
For example, various countries have special departments that conduct behavioural studies on the senior management of other countries in order to infer what they will do next.
If I know in advance what you are going to do, then can I not plan and prepare in advance, and even gain benefits from it?
Before Han Songlin could speak, Wang Huicheng said to himself, 'This time, the mayor of Yandu found me and hoped that I could help to bridge the gap and invite you to invest in Yandu.'
