One hour later.
The two arrived at Cui Guangming’s home.
"Jiaojiao, one should not seek to involve oneself in affairs outside one’s position. You can watch, you can think, but you must not talk about it." Cui Guangming slowly uttered after hearing Pan Yue mention Dou Jiao’s frequent thoughts about Tianyan Group.
Upon hearing this,
Dou Jiao pouted, "Grandpa, don’t I even have this bit of emotional intelligence?"
"I’m just reminding you. You always talk about how capable your subordinates are. People like that are often proud at heart. If it’s really as you say, I don’t know how you manage to keep them in line," Cui Guangming said.
In the past,
he hardly inquired about Dou Jiao’s work.
"Them? No need to keep them in line," Dou Jiao said playfully. "Grandpa, don’t worry. The problems that occur in other companies hardly exist in Tianyan. They are kept in check by the young boss."
"As long as you know what you’re doing," Cui Guangming replied without further questioning.
"I used to admire these people’s abilities, but gradually, I feel that the young boss who could recruit them to serve the company is the true talent. His choice of people is too precise," Dou Jiao praised.
"Tang Qing is indeed extraordinary, to have roped in a hard worker like you," Cui Guangming said with a smile. Initially, he thought Dou Jiao wouldn’t last long in her job at Tianyan after leaving the car dealership and would become unemployed.
But unexpectedly,
she met Tang Qing, a potential stock.
No.
A dark horse.
Running far ahead, a dark horse that leaves all behind.
"What do you mean hard worker? What I’m doing is meaningful," Dou Jiao retorted, the more she understood Tianyan and the strategic layout of the companies under Tang Qing, the more she admired him.
Now,
Dou Jiao had become a die-hard fan of Tang Qing.
Cui Guangming nodded.
"Tianyan is indeed a very meaningful company. If done right, it will have a substantial positive impact on the Huaxia business landscape, whether it’s the construction of its own market standards or its international expansion."
"Now, every holding company of Tang Qing is under close observation. I mention this to remind you to be cautious in any decisions you make in the future. This is no longer just a matter of the Tang Family."
"???"
Dou Jiao expressed,
her lack of political acumen.
Requesting for guidance.
Seeing his granddaughter’s look, Cui Guangming rolled his eyes in response, "It means there are too many people paying attention, and with your sensitive and important position, if things are well managed, it will be beneficial for both our families."
This benefit
is multifaceted.
"Now I understand what you’re saying," Dou Jiao said with a smile. She still didn’t know if the higher-ups were aware of the Hummingbird Commerce and Storage plan, but she figured they must know something, or else what would they pay attention to?
Tang Qing wishes to stir the pot.
However.
For now, she can only watch from the sidelines.
...
December 15th.
On the streets of Qingyan City.
Red figures sped along the main roads, their sci-fi look immediately drawing lots of attention, reminding people of the well-advertised name that had become familiar to all — ’Xinyue’.
A month ago,
CCTV and some satellite TVs had already aired advertisements.
Many people took a liking to it.
However,
once they realized it was an electric vehicle, that joy was dampened. Electric car? Many cities don’t even have charging piles, how do you expect me to buy an electric car? Isn’t this a joke?
But,
there are always those who like it.
And don’t mind the cost of installing a charging pile.
As a result,
the domestic presale in Huaxia reached nearly 10,000 units. If it were a gasoline model, everyone believed it wouldn’t be less than 50,000, considering Huaxia’s huge affluent population base.
Mid-range car pricing.
Sports car-level appearance.
Many people obsessed with colors simply can’t resist it. However, its identity as an electric vehicle indeed became an obstacle, and Tang Kai didn’t plan to have big sales right from the start; otherwise, it would be too profitable— the only license given by Myanmar Bank.
The interests would be too large.
Even if there are losses initially.
However, Tang Kai still didn’t hesitate to invest money into advertising, building charging piles, not minding if it didn’t make money at first. What the Tang Family now has in abundance is money; with a gradual approach, there will eventually be profit to be had.
Moreover.
By relying on imported charging piles from Myanmar.
The installation is extremely quick.
Once the process has been established, in most cases, it takes only a week, at best three days, to erect numerous charging piles on a piece of flat ground, and therefore although the initial investment seems large, the effects are quickly visible.
Of course.
That’s on flat ground.
If you are installing in a neighborhood or by the roadside, involving a lot of municipal engineering and wiring, it becomes much more troublesome; it’s a long-term project. Even so, Tang Kai has even a crazier idea.
---Investing a huge amount of money to build large-scale charging facilities next to every highway service area across Huaxia, guaranteeing at least two hundred charging spots in each service area.
"Uncle, that’s an idea."
After hearing it.
Tang Qing made such an assessment.
Unexpectedly.
The uncle also began to learn from him, feeling impatient with the slow progress others were making and decided to just step up himself; Tang Qing liked this point of view because if he were to be involved in electric vehicles, he probably would do the same.
"What do you think?" Tang Kai asked.
Tang Qing said, "It’s good, but don’t do it alone. In theory, this is competing with PetroChina for business. If there are accompanying living services, it will also compete with service areas for business."
"Of course, one uses electricity and the other uses oil; no matter what, there will be conflicts with oil sales. I mean to pull PetroChina, Sinopec, State Grid, expressway companies, and service areas all into this."
Tang Kai had thought of this long ago.
"Uncle, you forgot one more." Tang Qing said smiling.
Tang Kai asked, "What?"
"Social forces."
"Social forces?"
"Right, what you need are the charging piles. Since you are bringing in so many parties, why not bring in even more and turn it into a business—an enterprise that yields returns," Tang Qing suggested.
"That makes sense." Tang Kai nodded.
Pulling in a bunch of people.
All are state-owned entities.
As a private individual, it doesn’t feel right in any way; besides, it’s impossible for me to take the lion’s share or have absolute control of these assets, so why bother?
All he wants are the charging piles.
As for whose they are.
What does it matter?
"Don’t handle this matter alone, it’s best to have the higher-ups initiate it. You should have someone draft a comprehensive feasibility report, start with the Energy Bureau, and have them report to the Development and Reform Commission. From top to bottom, that’s the easiest route."
Tang Qing offered his advice.
"Energy Bureau? That could take a really long time," Tang Kai said.
"You first draft a business plan and have the Tianyan Group help refine it. I’ll handle the Energy Bureau, I can’t guarantee it, but there’s hope," Tang Qing smiled. When it comes down to it, the upper class is just a circle.
He can’t promote the passing of a policy.
But still.
Passing a message upward.
That he can do.
Furthermore.
The state has long been keen on promoting the development of new energy vehicles, and it’s currently under discussion. At the latest, within a year, the State Council will release a new automotive development plan, providing financial subsidies for new energy vehicles.
Now.
I don’t want subsidies.
I just want to build charging piles, which is in line with the intentions of the authorities. Since it’s not a policy, but a trial, or rather not even a trial but just getting a nod of approval.
The difficulty isn’t high.
