Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 264 Cultivating Enterprises

At the same time, Qi Tongwei was smilingly receiving the first batch of business leaders cultivated and supported by the investment company in the district government. There were a total of seven enterprises, including six industrial enterprises and one real estate development enterprise.

"Everyone, please sit down. Our district government is still a bit shabby now. Once the high-tech zone building is completed, it will be beautiful."

Dongjiang Automobile, the automobile factory that Qi Tongwei had dreamed of establishing by recruiting people from Northeast China, now has taken shape. The general manager and legal representative Cheng Jingjing is speaking.

"Director Qi, the construction of our factory is progressing smoothly, and two workshops are about to be ready to start partial production.

But one problem is that we don’t have enough money. We have been investing in the early stages but have not yet received any output, and we have not yet started to receive orders.”

Good guy, the first thing he did was to ask for money. However, Qi Tongwei didn't plan to give them any money, so he let them take out a loan first.

"Well, Mr. Cheng, at this stage, our investment company will not provide the second batch of investment funds. This is clearly written in the documents.

The current situation is different from that of previous state-owned enterprises. In the past, state-owned enterprises would report on what they lacked and what they needed to do.

Now it is not necessary. You can go directly to Aicunbucun Bank for a loan, or Jiangbei Bank. Both banks have credit lines for us.

Then some of your equipment and instruments were purchased from The Paper Equipment, right? Write a note first and owe them the money, and ask them to give you a few months' grace period.

For the first batch of production, you start with parts and components, and you don’t necessarily have to make the entire vehicle, right?

Start the business by making some parts, then start developing the technology, and finally assemble it.

We do have the time, after all, we are starting from scratch, and the new production line also needs time to be laid out and debugged.”

Starting from auto parts is the least difficult for them, and they can also recover funds in time. Otherwise, if the whole car is not delivered and sold, the money in hand will be consumed day by day.

"Okay, General Manager, I understand."

Qi Tongwei continued to speak with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Cheng, seriously, I said you are not my subordinates.

Our government is just a shareholder. You still need to do your own things.

If there is any decision to be made, just talk to the board of directors. I am the district government here.”

The other companies also talked about their recent development and some difficulties they encountered, which were nothing more than funding, orders, technology and so on. Anything Qi Tongwei could answer and help with would be solved on the spot. For anything he could not solve, he would find a way himself. The government would not take care of everything.

After the meeting, Chen Chuqing sat in Qi Tongwei's office drinking tea.

“It seems that I have chosen the right track. Other people’s companies have more than 20 links, and each link has risks. To achieve profitability and growth, there is still a long way to go.

I only have a few designers and a construction team, and we are about to get such a big government order, which will keep us busy for the whole next year."

Qi Tongwei poured himself some coffee, but after taking a sip, he found it not very tasty.

"Old Chen, don't think that we have a smooth start, there is still a lot to do later.

There is still a 30-year bonus period for domestic infrastructure construction, from nothing to hundreds of meters high buildings.

During this period, your development speed may be very fast, but there is one thing we are clear about in advance. "

"I know that we can't play the game of capital operation. Hong Kong has been engaged in real estate capital operation for decades. Their tail is too big to be cut off. Outsiders can see it, and the victims are ordinary people.

My purpose of coming back to start a business was very simple. I wanted to build a building that I liked. I didn’t expect to have the opportunity in the first year.

Next, various beautiful buildings will be built across the country.

For me, making money is just a supplement, not the ultimate goal.

Deep down, I am just an architectural designer and I don't want my life to change much. If I make money, would I buy a gold pen to draw?

That doesn’t work either.”

"Hahahaha, well said, people must not forget their original intentions. Times change quickly, and people change quickly too. If you can't keep your original intentions, you will soon lose yourself and have your soul corrupted by money and power.

I won't talk about that. You have to pay attention to some basic infrastructure beside the scenic road this time. The library, the gymnasium, the cultural center, and the workers' hall. I've given you all of them."

Chen Chuqing was also very happy holding the documents.

"Oh, that would be great. I can have that pedestrian bridge, too. If I have experience building pedestrian bridges, my team will improve very quickly."

"No way, that's up to the city. You can participate in the bidding, but there is usually bidding rigging in the city, so your chances of winning are very small.

Other units in the city will not be as easy to talk to as Jiangbei New District. The way they do things is quite dark. You may not be able to adapt to it, and it may undermine your self-confidence.

Let me start with these first. If I do well, I will have the capital to make demands to my leaders.

I can point to this beautiful gymnasium and tell the leaders that it was built by the developer who invested in our district and that they should do two more projects, and the leaders will nod in agreement.

Otherwise, who wouldn’t say empty words? ”

Chen Chuqing nodded.

"That's right, I was too naive. Let's finish the task at hand first, and then slowly get familiar with the pace of doing things in China."

After saying that, Chen Chuqing stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qi Tongwei.

"Just leaving like that? Without even shaking hands?"

"Hahahaha. Good, good, good."

The two shook hands and then left.

Chen Chuqing seems to be a little slow in reaction, but Qi Tongwei knows that it is because he is always thinking about his old business and drawing plans in his mind. It can be seen from the fact that he founded this real estate development company that he has a plan in mind and quickly set up the framework in just a few weeks. Qi Tongwei just made some connections, and the two brothers of the Wu family joined his company wholeheartedly. From their abilities, it can be seen that this man is no ordinary man.

Jin Xinkai was a little distrustful of Chen Chuqing at first, and asked Qi Tongwei to experiment with him. He gave Chen Chuqing a simple building project and asked him to draw a design within a week. As a result, Chen Chuqing drew a detailed design in the newly rented office in just 20 minutes, as well as other supporting drawings, which almost allowed the construction team to start construction directly. This show of skill stunned everyone, and that's why such a long list of public facilities were handed over to Chen Chuqing.

Of course, Qi Tongwei has a backup plan. As long as there is no progress from Chen Chuqing's side within the specified time, he can immediately hand it over to the city's builder. Although the design is a bit rustic, the result is still quite standard.
