Zhang Junping glanced at Liu Jingshan to make sure that he was really anxious and was not giving himself eye drops.

"Haha! Director Liu, you are wrong! The Prussians are different from us.

We are used to talking about work at home.

However, for Prussians, family is family, and work is work.

The division is very clear!

Xiao Zhang was right not to talk about work!" Mayor Zhou said with a smile to defend Zhang Junping.

"Thank you, leader, for your understanding!" Zhang Junping glanced at Liu Jingshan after he finished speaking.

Liu Jingshan ignored him.

However, I still feel a little embarrassed.

"Alas! Director Liu is a little anxious!

Today we visited the Volkswagen Group's production base, and our comrades were all a little bit shocked.

Compared with developed countries, we are far behind!

If you don’t catch up, you will fall further and further behind.

History has taught us that if you fall behind, you will be beaten." Mayor Zhou said with emotion.

"So, our mission is long and arduous!

This time, we originally planned to purchase a batch of industrial equipment and bring back industrial technology to expand our production scale.

But looking at it now, it is no longer enough to just rely on the second-hand equipment we purchased and the technology that is about to fall behind.

Xiao Zhang, work harder and bring me Volkswagen Group’s investment back.

I will personally ask Secretary Liu for credit!" Mayor Zhou said solemnly.

Liu Jingshan looked at Mayor Zhou in surprise, and then at Zhang Junping.

I felt a little bit sour in my heart. If this caught Secretary Liu's eyes, I would probably be on par with him in a few years.

"Leader, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to invite Smith to take his team to China for inspection." Zhang Junping quickly assured.

"Well! The automobile industry is an integrated display of a country's industry.

You can tell by looking at a country's industrial level and its automobile manufacturing level.

Therefore, whether we can introduce popular technology is crucial to our industrial development." Mayor Zhou emphasized again.

It seems that the leaders were stimulated by the public today.

I don’t know how excited I will be after visiting the production bases of BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Mayor Zhou pulled Zhang Junping and talked a lot.

At the end of the sentence, Mayor Zhou and Liu Jingshan, two old men, had red eyes.

Now, if we have some wine, the two of us can cry.

This made Zhang Junping feel uncomfortable, as if he would be a sinner if he did not introduce the Volkswagen Group into the country.

Zhang Junping, who is familiar with the historical trajectory, naturally knows that in the future, not only Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, but also Toyota, Honda, and Mitsubishi will compete to build joint venture factories in China.

Some people say that if you build a joint venture factory, you will not get the technology, but you will lose your own brand.

People who have not experienced it will not understand that the so-called brand is really not that important.

When you are technologically advanced, your brand is very important, but when you lag behind, is your brand still important?

Hasn’t the country considered this?

There are so many think tanks that are smarter than you and me.

It’s just that I can’t live anymore. You still think that I have to wear leather shoes when I wear a suit. I can’t wear white socks when I wear leather shoes.

As for technology, if these automobile manufacturers are not introduced to build joint ventures, it will be impossible.

Domestic brands like Great Wall and Geely may appear, but it will be many years later.

The automobile industry is an integrated industry and a very large industrial system.

Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota, and Honda only keep their core engine technology secret from us.

However, which factory is not fiercely protecting its core technology?

If you cannot protect your core technology, you are not far from bankruptcy.

For example, in the more than 40 years of domestic reform and opening up, there have been many cases where core technologies were stolen and eventually went bankrupt.

Zhang Junping chatted with Mayor Zhou until very late before returning to his room.

However, with the approval of Mayor Zhou, Zhang Junping can move freely without having to join a tour group or stay in a hotel.

Everything is based on Zhang Junping's convenience.

Back in the room, Zhang Junping was just about to take a shower when the doorbell rang again.

When I opened the door, I saw Yu Zhiyuan, the deputy director of the Light Industry Bureau.

"Yu Bureau, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"I said, you are so ungrateful! You just stayed here for one night, and then you dumped me and disappeared." Yu Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Junping with resentful eyes.

This made Zhang Junping feel uncomfortable all over, "Yu Bureau, if we, the eldest man, have something to say, why don't you make this set-up?"

"Haha...ha!" Yu Zhiyuan laughed loudly, "I heard that you contacted three factories in Benzi, and they were all Qing Gongye?

Can people invest in China, or can they help us build factories and train workers?"

"Yes! Yu is quite well-informed!" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.

"Let me tell you, you don't know that as soon as this information came out, the team leaders in Dongcheng, Haidian, and Fengtai districts and the people from the Light Industry Bureau all had their eyes red.

I've been looking for Mayor Zhou for a whole day." Yu Zhiyuan said with a proud smile.

Quite a bit gloating about his misfortune.

He was not at all anxious about who the companies Zhang Junping contacted would give him.

Who is Zhang Junping? The uncle of XC District Light Industry Bureau.

Can you fight it?

Zhang Junping shook his head and laughed.

Sure enough, there are no secrets in government agencies.

I just finished reporting to Mayor Zhou this morning, and it didn't take long for me to know everything.

"Brother, hurry up and find Mayor Zhou to apply for continued freedom of movement.

Otherwise, you will be annoyed to death by those people tomorrow." Yu Zhiyuan said to Zhang Junping with a mysterious expression.

"Mayor Zhou has already agreed that I can move freely."

"Then you hurry up and leave. It's best to leave now!"

"It's just a matter of time, isn't it?"

"Why not? You don't know that Mayor Zhou was so annoyed today that he finally pushed him down on you.

If you don't leave, they will block you for a while and you won't be able to leave!

By the way, do you have enough money on you? I just helped you collect some foreign exchange from our XC area..." Yu Zhiyuan said, taking out a handful of US dollars and giving it to Zhang Junping.

"Yu Bureau..." Zhang Junping was a little moved.

Yu Zhiyuan could handle this, and while informing himself, he was also thinking about preparing travel expenses for himself.

"Just call me Brother Yu! Your sister-in-law and I have been colleagues for many years. Calling me Brother Yu doesn't count as taking advantage of you."

"Brother Yu, I have money! I sold two paintings a few days ago and made a lot of money.

By the way, if you don’t bring enough foreign exchange, I can also support you partially.

Just give me RMB when you return to China." Zhang Junping reciprocated the favor and said with a smile.

"No, we don't have anything to buy. You're out alone, so it won't hurt to bring some extra money with you." Yu Zhiyuan shook his head and refused.

"By the way, when it comes to painting, I've heard that your paintings are better than Xu Beihong's.

You have to draw one for me later! I'll take it home as a family heirloom!" At the end, Yu Zhiyuan added with a smile.

"Brother Yu, please praise me as much as you can! If word of this gets out, when I return to BJ, will I be drowned in the spit of those artists from CAFA?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"How can you not! Mayor Zhou is a calligraphy and painting lover, so he said this."

"You can't believe that. Mr. Xu Beihong is a master of traditional Chinese painting, and oil paintings are just for fun." Zhang Junping said with a modest smile.

Who is more powerful than Xu Beihong? If you are like this, you will not be able to admit it even if you are beaten to death.

After sending Yu Zhiyuan away, Zhang Junping evacuated the hotel where the purchasing group stayed overnight.

Most of the leaders in this era are cadres transferred from the military, but it is very crazy. I have never seen a department-level or deputy-department-level leader dare to go to a deputy-ministerial leader in order to win investment in their jurisdiction.
