#48 - Section: Capacity

Hearing these words, Wang Cheng's mouth twitched as he said, "Director Lu... Director Lu, you've planned so deeply! Listening to your analysis, it really makes sense."

"In that case, Audi Automobile needs to achieve self-sufficiency if it wants to develop. After all, those foreign car companies will never just watch our Great Xia Nation's automobile industry develop. It seems we were thinking too simply."

"I originally thought there wouldn't be too many problems for Audi Automobile to develop, but after you say that, it does seem a bit difficult for you."

"Director Lu, you are laying out such a large plan all at once. Aren't you afraid of taking too big of a step and causing Audi Automobile's capital to become strained?"

Lu Haifeng sighed and said, "Afraid? How could we not be afraid? But is being afraid useful?"

"We are also forced to do this. How can development not have any risks? If we are afraid of this and afraid of that, when will we be able to develop? When will we not have to look at other people's faces?"

Then he said, "Director Wang, to be honest, our first model has already been finalized and can be mass-produced. But, 'an army marches on its stomach,' that's the principle. If the supplies aren't prepared, how can we fight on an empty stomach?"

… … … …

Then Lu Haifeng briefly introduced the Audi brand to them.

The leader from the city said, "Can you really be sure that once the brand is established, it can truly compete with those foreign automotive giants?"

Lu Haifeng said, "Leader, even if I had ten guts, I wouldn't dare to deceive you, would I? Moreover, you're wrong. It's not just competing; they don't even have the qualifications for that."

"I want to completely dominate them, forcing those high-end brands they are so proud of to lower their prices."

"This isn't me boasting, but we have the technical strength to do this. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, I am very confident."

"However, as the saying goes, strength determines everything. Whoever has the strength is the boss."

"Moreover, according to our estimates, after the Audi new car is released, our sales should definitely not be bad. Within a year, I am confident that we can reach 100,000 vehicles."

"At the same time, this is only the first stage. If our Audi brand is fully established and we launch more models, one million vehicles a year will not be a problem. We are now divided into five phases of construction, and after five years, we can reach an annual production capacity of one million vehicles."

"This is still just a conservative estimate. We are 100% sure that we can achieve our goals. If we operate well, the benefits it brings will be unimaginable."

Chang Yaohui came here personally today, just to take a trip with the people from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to see what difficulties Audi Automobile has that need to be solved. Of course, Lu Haifeng is still in the dark about this.

Hearing this, Chang Yaohui was completely stunned by the blueprint Lu Haifeng painted, causing his whole person's breathing to become rapid.

Such a big temptation, how could he not be moved? These are all political achievements, all capital for his further advancement in the future. Originally, they were here to help Audi Automobile solve difficulties, weren't they?

He didn't suspect that Lu Haifeng was bluffing him, but the technical level of Audi Automobile and its parent company, Huaxing Technology, dispelled his doubts about Lu Haifeng.

After all, even foreign countries haven't proposed the concept, but Audi Automobile has developed it. What else can't Audi Automobile do?

Of course, Lu Haifeng didn't exaggerate. Sales of hundreds of thousands of cars a year are still considered low! It is no exaggeration to say that just opening up the market, domestic sales alone would be more than that.

You need to know that Audi Automobile had another identity in its previous life, which was the official car.

Chang Yaohui paused and said, "To be honest, Director Wang and we came here this time to conduct an on-the-spot investigation of Audi Automobile. Another reason is to understand whether Audi Automobile needs our help."

"We have now understood the situation pretty well. We also hope that Audi Automobile can develop better and better."

"The development and growth of Audi Automobile is of great benefit to the city and to the Great Xia Nation."

"So, that's it for today. After I go back and study it, I will immediately come up with a plan."

Wang Cheng also said, "So, that's it for us today. Ahem... I will truthfully report Director Lu's requirements to the higher-ups, but whether the higher-ups ultimately agree is not something we can decide."

Wang Cheng could only offer a wry smile, indicating that he would truthfully report Lu Haifeng's request to the higher-ups, but he was wondering in his heart if the higher-ups would be so angry they would die when they learned of Lu Haifeng's request. He really had no shame.

"Director Wang, please report to the higher-ups. The most important thing is to reflect the difficulties of our Audi Automobile and our fighting spirit for the country, so that the higher-ups know. It's noon now. If you don't mind, come with us to the cafeteria for a simple working lunch. You see, our company is poor and doesn't have the money to treat you to a big hotel."

Seeing that it was already noon, Lu Haifeng didn't plan to arrange for these people to eat at a hotel. After all, Audi's cafeteria is still good.

Wang Cheng originally planned to decline, after all, the purpose of his visit here had already been achieved, and he was afraid that Lu Haifeng would make some demands.

However, Xu Zhilin said faintly, "Let's go, let's have a meal first. When you leave later, come to my office and take a document back."

"Uh... Okay, Teacher."

Wang Cheng didn't dare to say anything and agreed. Lu Haifeng and the others next to him were directly shocked. Xu Zhilin was actually Wang Cheng's teacher.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the others, Wang Cheng explained, "Before I went to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, I was a technician at BAIC, and Xu Lao was the one who brought me along. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Lu Haifeng then understood that Wang Cheng and Xu Zhilin had this relationship. I'm afraid Xu Zhilin's identity is not simple either.

Lu Haifeng had always suspected Xu Zhilin's identity. This old man was definitely not what he said on the surface, just a technician who had worked at BAIC his whole life.

He definitely has other identities.
