Chapter 369: If I can’t build Pudong, can I build trams?

After returning to the guesthouse, Fang Xiang thought more and more that this matter had potential.

Fang Xiang actually doesn’t understand development, but he can clearly distinguish the pros and cons.

Apart from anything else, developing new areas means standing on the right team for the future. At least in the next 20 years, it will be as stable as a rock.

But how to do it is a very troublesome problem.

Because the nature of the land alone is a topic that cannot be avoided.

But this issue, in 85, is a very sensitive one and cannot be raised.

After all, this is a new district, not a community of several thousand acres.

If Great Wall Industries from Hong Kong Island comes to invest, then these dozens of square kilometers will be in big trouble, whether you are named Zi or Snake.

"Dad, what do you think is the possibility of replicating GAC in the Shanghai Stock Exchange?"

Since I don’t dare to think about things that are too far away, I should consider things that are nearby.

Fang Xiang understood the principle of eating one bite at a time, so he called Liu's father.

"Qiwen has only been in Guangdong Province for three years..."

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Liu said only one sentence.

Although the words are short, the meaning is profound.

Liu Qiwen went to Guangdong Province to get the dividends that Fang Xiang wanted. Now, the dividends from GAC are so great that even a bowl is not enough to cover them, so he has to change the basin.

Moreover, it is just the beginning now, and even a fool knows that the dividends will become bigger and bigger in the future.

Even become a golden hen that lays golden eggs.

If you don't make enough money before moving away, wouldn't that be something only a fool would do?

Secondly, Liu Qiwen's term of office is five years. He has been in the position of governor for three years. If he waits for another two years, he will definitely take another step up.

If one can go directly from the position of governor to the secretary, it means jumping directly from the provincial level to the national vice-president!

This is a huge step and threshold!

This temptation is irresistible for anyone in politics.

Therefore, let alone Liu's father's disagreement, if Liu Qiwen were to be transferred, he would probably fight with Fang Xiang to the death.

If Liu Qiwen is now the secretary of Guangdong Province and is transferred to Shanghai, he might agree reluctantly.

Because this can be considered a promotion, but before he sits in this position, it is really not possible to ask him to change his job.

“Pudong is a good place, and Shanghai is an even better place. In the future, the upper limit of Shanghai may even be equal to that of several provinces.

This is also a huge opportunity.”

Although Fang Xiang understood what Mr. Liu meant, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"Where are you now?"

Father Liu was silent again, and after a while he asked.

"It's in Shanghai."

"This is a big matter. Please come over for a talk."

Father Liu hung up the phone decisively.

Well, Shanghai is already cold enough, and I have to go back to the even colder Beijing.

Fang Xiang sighed.

Although he does not plan to go into politics, he can make huge money just by raising this matter.

He could also gain the favor of the future commander, so Fang didn't want to miss it.

then.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Soon, Fang Xiang flew back to the capital and sat in the Liu family's study. After the tea was brewed, Liu's father slowly spoke.

"I thought so......"

Fang wanted to talk about the future development of the Pudong New Area and the idea of ​​building a brand new Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation.

He also included his thoughts on the pros and cons, as well as his concerns regarding land, which he did not hide.

“In fact, the matter you mentioned has been discussed once before between the National Academy and the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

However, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is not as comprehensive and large-scale as you imagined.

However, I am afraid there will be no chance in the next few years."

After listening carefully to the blueprint that Fang Xiang described, Mr. Liu nodded.

“First, the country currently does not have enough money to do this big thing.

Even if there is so much money, it would be better to invest it in other aspects of people's livelihood and improve people's living conditions.

Secondly, although the Shanghai Stock Exchange accounts for an extremely important proportion of the national economy.

However, there is currently no capacity to support this new district, including in the next few years.

If you really want to do it, it's not impossible. At most I can draw a small area for you to do it.

But I’m afraid that after you spend all your money, you may find that the loss is not worth it, and then the loss is not just a matter of time and money.”

Liu saw that Fang Xiang fell into silence, and Liu's father continued.

“In short, the time is not right, let’s wait a few years.

At least Qiwen should be allowed to move up a level and stay in Guangdong Province for another term, right?

At that time, even if I couldn't speak, he could still support your idea."

Finally, Mr. Liu made a summary.

"Understood..."

Fang Xiang sighed secretly, thinking that he was too greedy.

In other words, the ability or money is not enough or large enough.

"One more thing."

Fang Xiang pursed his lips and had to put this idea aside for the time being.

But in the blink of an eye, I remembered another thing on the way here.

"You said."

Father Liu held the teacup and drank tea in small sips.

"I want to build a tram. There is a computer center in Shanghai. Can you invest in it?

Also, invest in a few domestic motor factories.

How good would it be when we have both gasoline cars and electric cars to walk on two legs?"

The tram that he wanted to build more than ten years ago has been delayed until now.

When it comes to electric cars, what stumps people are actually the motors, electronic controls and batteries.

Lithium batteries have been invented for ten years, but they have not been popularized due to safety and cost issues.

We have to wait a few more years, and only after there is a major breakthrough in the small notebook can it gradually begin to be used by civilians.

But we have not yet joined the WTO, and there is no patent protection in the country. If they copy, they copy. What can we do about it?

Therefore, the battery issue is already visible to the naked eye and not far away.

But the electronic control is a bit far away. Apart from anything else, circuit integration is definitely black technology nowadays.

However, now is a time when electronic products are booming, and it is not too late to start from scratch.

As for motors, they are civilian products and we don't pursue perfection. Domestic road conditions don't require us to worry about starting seconds or top speeds.

Even if the efficiency is similar to that of a fuel vehicle, or even slightly worse, it is acceptable.

Although there is indeed a big gap between domestic motors and foreign ones, Fang Xiang doesn't think it will be difficult to catch up.

As for other parts, they are no problem for Fang Xiang, who has been making cars for more than ten years.

"tram?"

Sure enough, this word is a new thing for Liu's father.

“Yes, I think it will be a brand new track and economic growth point in the future.

We need this . . . . . "

Seeing that Mr. Liu had no idea about this, Fang thought that since he was already there, he might as well be patient and break it down bit by bit. He explained how trams are one of the future development directions and may become an economic pillar. He kept talking until his throat was smoking and his voice was almost hoarse.

“It sounds like this will cost a lot of money, but the country doesn’t have the money to support you in doing this.

More importantly, the domestic technology is not good enough.”

After listening to this, Mr. Liu thought about it for a long time before slowly shaking his head.

"What if I pay for it myself?"

When Fang Xiang heard this, he felt a little discouraged.

Forget Pudong, the interests involved are too broad. Apart from anything else, the nature of the land alone is a difficult hurdle.

But now he can’t do scientific research, which gives him a headache.

Why don't I just grit my teeth and pay for it myself?

"Are you still planning to follow GAC's path?"

Father Liu seemed to be thinking about something.

“If you pay, it’s possible.

But this amount of money is not a small sum. If it is burned, one hundred million may be wasted.

If you want to raise funds from Hong Kong Island, you can only go through the national channels, and it cannot be in your personal name.

However, you still have full control over it.

But... How is Hong Kong Island doing now? When we were talking about going home, Great Wall Industries suffered a heavy blow."

After seeing Fang Xiang's determined eyes, Mr. Liu hesitated again, and his attitude finally softened, but he immediately asked about Hong Kong Island.
