The journey starts from the Titanic

"You also want to build a car?" Song Ziwen was surprised at Song Zi'an's decision. As far as he knew, this younger brother was interested in finance and banking before. Could it be that he was turned into a different temper after being talked in a random manner in the newspaper?

"Don't take the words in the newspaper too seriously. Those people are just jealous. But Dasheng Motors just added to the flames and made a good advertisement. It was just a run on our Song family intentionally or unintentionally. It's not a big deal, it will pass quickly. "

Song Meiling said lightly.

Zhang Xiaoruo established Dasheng Automobile Company in Shanghai and entered the automobile manufacturing industry. Dasheng Automobile also received strong support from American China Bank. The American Chinese Consortium has poured many resources into Dasheng Automobile. Behind Dasheng Automobile is supported by Situ Nan. Always adhering to Situ Nan's will, spare no effort to invest in industrial manufacturing.

Both Song Ziwen and Song Meiling knew about this, and they were still talking after dinner, but they didn't expect their younger brother to be stimulated.

"Three sisters, why don't you think so? I admit that at first I was stimulated by others, but then I calmed down and thought it was a good idea. The automobile will become the most potential industry in the future. Who will occupy the automobile market? Whoever is likely to gain greater influence on the national economic map.

Otherwise, why is Dasheng Group doing a good job in textiles and manufacturing textile machinery, earning a lot of money every year, and suddenly breaking into the field of automobile manufacturing without thanking you?They have also taken a fancy to the broad prospects of the automobile market."

Song Zian said, "I have discussed with my second brother, and he also thinks he can give it a try."

Seeing that he was carried out by his younger brother as a shield, Song Ziliang also followed suit: "Although our Song family has developed well in the financial and trade field, Shanghai Commercial Bank can rank in the top ten in China, and Shanghai Commercial Machinery Company is also a famous domestic trade dealer. , And our match factory is also very large, accounting for almost a quarter of the country's market, but we are not strong in the industrial manufacturing field.

In the past two years, domestic industrial manufacturing has developed rapidly, and our shortcomings in the industrial manufacturing field have gradually become prominent. The overall development is not as good as those in Shanghai, which are mainly industrial manufacturing companies.

So I think this is an opportunity."

Song Ziwen nodded: "It makes sense. Although I have been the president of Wuhan Iron and Steel Industry Company and personally pulled up the Wuhan Iron and Steel Plant Yangzi Machinery Company, this has nothing to do with the Song family. I am ashamed that I have not had the opportunity to take the Song family The industry shifted to the industrial manufacturing field.

Zi'an has such great ambitions. I'm not afraid to tell you that the focus of the government's work in the future will be on infrastructure construction. It will invest hundreds of millions in transportation construction projects, and a considerable part of the resources will be shifted from railways to highway construction.

If you enter the auto industry now, it is also the right time."

"The Ministry of Communications is going to overhaul the road? Why don't I know?" Song Meiling looked at Song Ziwen suspiciously and asked.

Song Ziwen looked at his sister, with an expression of "you are making a fuss" on her face, and thought: "You are now just taking care of your children at home, and you are no longer a government official. I wonder if this is normal?"

"To build two expressways, one is the Yue-Han expressway and the other is the Shanghai-Han expressway. At the same time, policies and regulations on expressways are promulgated to encourage large cities such as Wuhan, Guangzhou and Shanghai to build surrounding road networks."

Song Ziwen explained, adding, "The Wuhan petrochemical project led by the older brother-in-law is actually part of the highway construction."

"It turns out that this is the case. It seems that cars will replace railways and are the most worthy investment project in the future." Song Meiling said, and turned to Song Zi'an, "In this case, my sister supports you."

"Thank you Third Sister." Song Zi'an was very happy to hear that. The third sister is in aloof status. Whoever doesn't give her face in the family, with her support, things will become the majority.

At the family meeting, the Song family unanimously agreed that Song Zi'an should build a car. They had different opinions on the location of the car factory.

Song Ziliang and Song Zian tend to Shanghai Baoshan Xingang Industrial Zone, believing that the raw material procurement in Shanghai's industrial basic market is good in all aspects.

However, Song Ziwen and Song Meiling feel that Shanghai already has Dasheng Motors. Why not avoid Dasheng Motors and go to Wuhan, where all the conditions are equally good?

Song Zian insisted on his own opinion. He said to his brothers and sisters: "I know that if the car factory is in Wuhan, with the influence of our Song family, no one would dare to bully me, but you are worried about competing with Dasheng Motors. In my opinion, This is not a big problem, is there no strong competition in Wuhan?

I heard that trucks manufactured by Wudou Tractor Factory have been approved by the military. Doesn’t the military also build cars at the Jinling Automobile Plant in Nanjing?

Competition is everywhere, and you can't avoid it.Similarly, the more intense the competition, the best industrial conditions. In addition to the three major auto companies in Detroit, aren't there many auto companies and hundreds of auto manufacturing-related companies?

Just in Shanghai!The name is Shanghai Automobile Company!"

Song Zi'an hesitated.

He has thought a lot about his future, and it seems like it. The second brother Song Ziliang is responsible for the business of the bank. If he does not want to follow his second brother’s ass, he can only start anew and use all kinds of advantageous resources to enter the automobile industry. A whole world has emerged.

The resources of the Song family were really not covered. Soon they set up the car company's shelf. Song Zian took advantage of the relationship and easily dug a group of technical and management experience from industrial giants such as Wuhan Iron Works Yangzi Machinery Company and National Railway Company. ’S entrepreneurial team joined Shanghai Automotive.

At the same time, it also grabbed a piece of land in the second phase of the hot-selling Shanghai Baoshan Xingang Industrial Zone, and "resident" next to the Dasheng Automobile Company, which is advanced in the Xingang Industrial Zone.

In the automotive industry ecosystem established by Dasheng Motors, it is very likely that some resources will be "cut off" by the Song family's youngest.For example, the giants of Meihua Tire Company Meihua Electric Company Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant, they guarantee the cooperative relationship with Dasheng Automobile Company, and also cooperate with Shanghai Automobile Company.

Giants are, after all, giants, unlike some auto parts factories controlled by the Dasheng Group, they are not kept by Dasheng Motors, and they will not cooperate with other auto companies without Dasheng’s consent.

The government of the industrial zone is very interested. After learning that the two big families have entered the second phase of the project, they quickly adjusted the planning of the industrial zone, set up an automobile industrial zone centered on Dasheng Automobile Company and Shanghai Automobile Company, and encouraged more automobile-related enterprises to enter the industry. Area.

The Bank of China Bank of America and the Song Family's Shanghai Commercial Bank have also joined forces to form a bank consortium to provide financial support to enterprises in the automobile industry zone.

Even Chrysler Automobiles, which did not pay much attention to Dasheng Motors and sold its technology and equipment to Dasheng Motors, quickly changed its attitude after learning that the Chinese had suddenly established an automobile industrial zone in Shanghai and considered investing in automobile factories in China.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

Suddenly, Situ Nan received a telegram from Song Meiling. Song Meiling told Situ Nan that Song Zian would take a team to the United States to investigate the automobile industry and ask Situ Nan for help.

After learning that his brother-in-law was ambitious and wanted to enter the automobile industry, Situ Nan immediately became happy, and seemed to have changed history slightly.

Of course, Song Zi'an alone is unable to stir up the domestic automobile industry. It is the US-China Consortium and the Zhi Gong Party government that are really contributing to the situation.

Perhaps Baoshan Iron and Steel Company is the biggest beneficiary!

Then there are those oil companies!

Chapter 209:

When Situ Nan saw Song Zi'an, she couldn't help asking about Song Meiling's mother and son.

"Very good, the little guy can already crawl!" Song Zi'an smiled, and when he mentioned that cute nephew, his face was filled with love from the heart.

"I'm also bringing photos, take a look!" While taking out a stack of photos from the briefcase and handing them to Situ Nan, Situ Nan took a look. In the photo, Song Meiling is holding the child with a loving face, and the child has big eyes. It was bright again, as if making faces at the camera, and he could vaguely see his shadow.

Situ Nan was very happy to look at them, staring at the photos one by one, different emotions surged in his heart, happy, excited, like, and guilty...

After watching for a long time, he turned around to talk to Song Zian.

"I heard that you are going to build a car. I support your ambitious decision."

Situ Nan patted Song Zi'an on the shoulder, and smiled and encouraged.

It is not easy to say the word aspiration from Situ Nan's mouth. Among the Song family brothers and sisters, it seems that the brother-in-law has received the evaluation of his brother-in-law as "aspirational." Song Zi'an was proud of it.

why?

Because when it comes to business, the third brother-in-law Situ Nan is a model. The Song family’s brothers and sisters are not his opponents. Song Zi’an has seen a lot of business talents, and his evaluation of those people is quite high, but those people agree. Situ Nan contrasted, and the gap appeared instantly.

Therefore, Situ Nan recognized that he had entered the automobile industry, and Song Zian had a recognized sense of accomplishment.

"I'm relieved when I hear what you said, brother-in-law! Although my family is more supportive of me doing this, they probably also suspect that I am young. Will it mess up in the end?"

Song Zi'an smiled and said that in front of Situ Nan, he was more open and willing to exchange some of his ideas with Situ Nan.

"Come slowly, as long as it's not a principled error, it doesn't matter if you fail several times. It's better to call it tuition." Situ Nan encouraged, seeing Song Zi'an's humble attitude, he deliberately warned Song Zi'an a few words, and said, "In the industry, we must do two things well, production and sales, neither should be neglected. Take the three major US auto giants, Ford Motor will be biased towards manufacturing, and they do better in terms of cost control.

GM is better at sales. They have many brands, but their positioning is rarely repeated. Each brand corresponds to different consumers.At the same time, in terms of car packaging appearance, GM has adopted a large number of Bauhaus design concepts, making GM cars look more beautiful in the market.

Although the sales of each car may not be as much as that of Ford's Type A cars, it almost covers the high, middle and low-end markets, and it accounts for the largest share of the entire car sales market.

I have the opportunity to introduce the president of General Motors to you. Maybe he will teach you some experience."
