After Soichiro Honda left, the provincial party committee and government held a summary meeting solemnly, further clarifying the importance of attracting investment, and widely publicizing the visit of Honda founder as one of the progress made in the province.

Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng began to prepare for the establishment of the School of Automotive Research, with the organizational structure and the selection of teachers. The provincial party committee suddenly called and Secretary Sun Weiben summoned him.

He came to the provincial party committee with doubt and was stopped by his secretary at the door of the secretary's office.

"Mr. Lin, I'll inform you first, there are guests inside!" said the secretary.

Lin Johnson nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait first." He found a chair and sat down leisurely.

Seeing the indifferent expression, the secretary shook his head and knocked on the door and walked into the office.

"Mr. Lin, Secretary Sun invites you in." After a while, he walked out with a passionate smile. His completely different attitude made Lin Johnson confused.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at him in confusion and walked into the office. He saw that in addition to Sun Weiben, there was another person sitting on the chair in the room. After seeing him in, the man stood up and asked, "This is Mr. Lin Qiangsheng, he is really young!"

Lin Qiangsheng shook his hands in surprise and said, "I am Lin Qiangsheng, who are you?"

Secretary Sun took the initiative to introduce to the two: "Kobayashi, this is Deputy Minister Shi Guangshan of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. He called for a name to see you."

"Hello, Vice Minister Shi!" The two shook hands, and Lin Qiang-Cheng was a little confused. The central official came to visit and saw that he had a purpose.

Shi Guangshan smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, heroes are young!"

Sun Weiben said: "Sit all, I'll let you make tea."

After the two sat down, Shi Guangshan said to Lin Johnson: "This time, Mr. Soichiro Honda, the founder of Honda Motor Company, visited Dongxing Group. After learning about this news, the Central Committee attached great importance to it and specially sent me to understand the situation."

He then asked, "Mr. Lin, in your opinion, does Honda Motor Company have any idea of ​​building a car factory in the country?"

Lin Qiang-Chengsheng's doubts were resolved. It turned out that he was asking him about this matter. He said to Shi Guangshan: "At present, Honda Motor Company has no plans to enter the Chinese automobile market on a large scale and will not build factories in China in the short term."

Shi Guangshan was surprised and asked, "How can I see that Honda has already cooperated well with your Dongxing Group, established an automotive R&D center, and sent a large number of personnel to help you improve your management methods. Isn't this Honda's plan to further enter China?"

Sun Weiben said directly: "Kobayashi, do you think it is possible to invite Honda to build a factory in China? The central government is very concerned about this issue. Honda is a world-renowned automobile company with very advanced technology and great reputation. If it can set up a factory in China, it will not only be of great help to the development of our automobile industry, but also unprecedented in international influence. Maybe it can lead other famous automobile manufacturers to invest in China!"

Shi Guangshan nodded repeatedly and said: "At present, China is vigorously promoting market opening. The latest foreign-invested enterprise law encourages deepening of technology exchanges and further liberalization of foreign investment. Moreover, the central government regards the automobile industry as an important pillar of the national economy. I think we must work harder in this regard!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said to the two: "I understand this. I see that the newly introduced foreign-invested enterprise law does have a very positive effect on our foreign investment operation, further clarifying the status of foreign investment.

However, Honda Motor Company does not plan to set up a factory in China at present!" He spread his hands helplessly to the two of them, saying that he could not help.

Shi Guangshan looked at Secretary Sun in confusion. Both of them realized that the young man in front of him had a not very positive attitude. What's going on?

Sun Weiben asked: "Kobayashi, what do you think about this? In addition, your relationship with Mr. Honda seems to be good. Can you help communicate in China?"

Lin Johnson said: "Mr. Honda mentioned to me that Honda will make some investments in Bincheng in the production of auto parts, and the two parties will also strengthen cooperation in this regard. But at present, I don't think it is a good time for foreign car brands to enter the country on a large scale. China's own automobile industry has not yet been improved, and it has no competitiveness compared with foreign brands!"

Shi Guangshan said: "We have considered this aspect, but in general, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. We have also done foreign car brands before, such as Poussan and Cherokee projects. They came in, and they did not defeat the domestic sedan industry!"

Lin Johnson shook his head and said, "The business strategies of Japanese and Germans are different from Americans. European and American auto manufacturers have a tough attitude towards China and are difficult to change, and they are not very concerned about the Chinese auto market. However, Japanese manufacturers are very flexible. After entering China, they will quickly develop the correct marketing strategies and have a strong impact on my country's automobile industry.

To be honest, Cherokee won’t talk about it now. Poussin cannot compete with our automobile industry, and I am not afraid of the Germans.

But Japanese manufacturers are different. If they launch models with a price similar to my car brand, and with strong brand influence and the flexible methods of the Japanese, they will definitely expand the market easily, which will form a strong competition for my car brand, and this kind of thing will not be worth the cost. We are a competitor relationship, not a partner. Has the central government considered this clearly?"

Shi Guangshan and Sun Weiben were both very surprised. Lin Johnson actually had such an idea. It turned out that he regarded Japanese car dealers as competitors, which was completely different from their ideas.

Lin Johnson also thought that the ideas of these people were ridiculous. They actually discussed with them. Of course, they thought about what they were doing. It would be better for Japanese car dealers to never enter China.

Shi Guangshan shook his head and said, "The country is very strong in increasing the introduction of foreign capital. We welcome all the funds and technology. The introduction of foreign automobile manufacturers is also to promote the healthy development of the domestic automobile industry."

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "I take reservations. On the contrary, I think China should be as conservative as possible in the automobile industry. Our neighbor South Korea has implemented a policy of protecting domestic cars, restricting imported cars and foreign car brands from entering South Korea. I think the country should also learn their model, and there are many ways to introduce technology without giving up the market!"

Shi Guangshan was speechless. There was actually a lot of debate in China about how much technology was introduced. A popular saying was to exchange technology for the market. A few years ago, there might be quite a lot of people who opposed this statement, but in the past two years, the upper class realized that foreigners value the Chinese market, while some domestic methods were pitifully small. In order to develop the economy as soon as possible, opening up the market is undoubtedly a good way.

Sun Weiben had no intention of arguing. He changed the topic and eased the atmosphere and asked: "Kobayashi, Dongxing Group is planning the central urban area of ​​the provincial capital. At what stage is it now? Are there any key projects to introduce to Vice Minister Shi?"

Speaking of this, Lin Johnson was a little interested: "We plan to renovate the cityscape near the University of Technology and design a 33-story building, which can be used as a landmark building in Bincheng. I named this landmark Quanye Building!"

Sun Weiben was very interested in this project and asked, "What is the origin of this name? It sounds very familiar."

Lin Qiangsheng further said: "Pushing the business means hoping that Bincheng's economy and all walks of life can develop well and quickly. I solemnly hope that the provinces and cities can study it. In order to strengthen investment promotion, the approval procedures of enterprises can be concentrated together and work in one-stop.

In the past, when we found a cooperative enterprise, we had to go to many departments and handle complicated procedures. Often, the establishment of a company was not difficult to fund, but to government approval. The government's efficiency was very low, it was difficult to get in and look ugly, and it was very common to play against the ball, and deliberately make things difficult for entrepreneurs. The difficulty of approval just made many investors and entrepreneurs retreat.

I hope that the provincial and municipal governments can actively simplify administrative approval procedures, reduce the restrictions on the normal operation of enterprises by administrative departments, and truly pave the way for economic development, rather than acting as a roadblock or a stumbling block!"

After hearing what Lin Johnson said, Shi Guangshan's expression became much better. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Lin's proposal is good. Our Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics has indeed contacted some foreign businessmen. They told us that the domestic administrative approval procedures are quite troublesome, and our work in this regard really needs to be strengthened.

Now the country has introduced the latest foreign investment policy, which is to increase investment attraction and promote the healthy development of the economy. Simplifying administrative approval procedures is indeed an intentional attempt!”

Sun Weiben also nodded and said, "We have neglected this. I will talk to the leaders of the province and city to see a solution and try to simplify the administrative approval procedures."

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "Then I'm waiting for good news. I hope my suggestions will promote the economic development of the province. I, the Quanye Building, welcomes administrative units from the province and city to move in for free, and provide offices for the approval department. If entrepreneurs and business owners can walk the complete procedures happily on the first floor, it is the best. If the province and city decide, I will provide you with one floor for free!"

"Oh?" Secretary Sun and Deputy Minister Shi were very surprised. Sun Weiben laughed and said, "Xiaolin, I remember what you said. Don't refuse to admit it then!"

Lin Qiangsheng also smiled and said, "Keep your word, what's the point of being a step for the economic development of the province!"

Shi Guangshan also said happily: "Okay, I will be a witness, Shenzhen. Speed ​​is the first. I hope you can create Bincheng speed and let the whole country learn!"

Sun Weiben patted the table lightly, nodded constantly and said, "Bincheng speed, this proposal is good!" It will not be continued
Chapter completed!
