Chapter 1136: Chapter 968: Mysterious Boss (Request for Monthly Tickets)
BYD, during the early 2000s, was quite low-profile.
Back then, its main industry was mobile phone batteries, and it had become the second largest battery manufacturer worldwide.
At the same time, it also began to venture into the automobile sector, acquiring a small local automobile company named QinChuan Automobile.
If it were a joint venture, they definitely had the qualifications.
But Wang Ye considered that if the Russian Auto Group collaborated with BYD, they could only bring Volvo to manufacture there, not Land Rover or Jaguar.
Because with luxury automobile brands, pedigree matters ...
BYD had just entered the automobile industry and was positioned very low-end, even their new models were very cheap, one might even say inexpensive!
If luxury cars like Land Rover Jaguar had a "BYD Land Rover" or "BYD Jaguar" badge, it would instantly lose all its prestige...
No more talking about "Royal Family carriages" or "Noble lineage" then!
So for Russian Auto Group, having sole ownership was the best!
For this proposal from Wang Ye, Mayor Zhang felt a bit troubled.
It was the country’s established policy, not something he could change on his own...
But since Wang Ye had proposed it, he couldn’t just outright reject it. Whether it could be achieved or not, he at least had to show that he had made every effort!
So he assured with a pat on his chest, "Mr. Mikhail, rest assured! I will take a trip to the capital myself and have a good talk with the leaders. But I can’t guarantee if it will be successful..."
Wang Ye nodded and smiled, "No worries, as long as you’ve tried your best. If it doesn’t work out, we can go with the second plan, it’s not unacceptable."
Mayor Zhang also nodded, he felt that given the investor behind the project was Mikhail, the higher-ups would likely show some consideration.
Perhaps the first sole ownership plan would be difficult to approve, but the second one had a good chance!
......
After finishing the pig trotter rice and declining Mayor Zhang’s invitation because Wang Ye didn’t want to make a big show of his return to the country.
Mayor Zhang of course wouldn’t insist, but he asked with concern if Wang Ye needed the city to assign police officers for his security detail.
After all, such a big shot in Peng City without any security personnel could be a problem, and as the mayor, he wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility.
Wang Ye declined his kind offer with a smile, telling him that there were already National Security personnel secretly protecting him, so there was no need to trouble the city comrades.
Mayor Zhang suddenly realized that of course he hadn’t thought about it, given Mr. Mikhail’s status, even if his visit wasn’t officially recognized, the necessary security measures would still be provided domestically, so there was no need for him to comment further.
Back in the car, everyone waved goodbye.
Mayor Zhang rushed back to the city government to attend to his work. The subsequent dealings regarding the Russian Auto Group’s investment in Peng City would naturally be handled by a dedicated work group liaising with local officials. The discussion between Wang Ye and Mayor Zhang was just about intent.
The specifics did not require their direct involvement.
As Mayor Zhang’s car drove away, Wang Ye and Zhang Xiaoxi sat in their car, enjoying the air conditioning and listening to a CD, parked at the roadside to rest for a while.
At the end of July, Peng City was extremely hot, with the scorching sun overhead and the air outside almost sizzling.
Just the short walk from the downtown village pig trotter shop to the car had both of them sweating profusely...
Both reclined their seats and lay back with closed eyes, listening to music and resting, when Zhang Xiaoxi suddenly said,
"By the way, you also have a company here in Peng City, have you forgotten?"
Wang Ye, with eyes still closed, thought for a moment, could Zhang Xiaoxi mean Tencent...
But that couldn’t be right, he had just discussed Tencent with Mayor Zhang!
Besides Tencent, what other company did he have in Peng City...
Seeing that Wang Ye didn’t respond, Zhang Xiaoxi knew he really couldn’t remember, and she reminded him with a smile,
"Last time you were back in the country, you bought a building here!
Then you established a Lease Management Company under my asset management company. You’ve forgotten about that!
But it’s normal, such a small company really isn’t noteworthy to you."
With that reminder, Wang Ye finally remembered.
Yes, last time he was in the country, he had bought an entire building in a small district he had lived in during his "previous life" in Peng City.
He had casually hired a girl to manage that company, what was her name again...
"Haha, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I really would have forgotten. By the way, how is that company doing now? Is that girl still in charge?" Wang Ye asked casually with a laugh.
Zhang Xiaoxi gave Wang Ye a stealthy glance, but he didn’t see it...
She sighed, "You just walked away and left all the mess for me to handle. Hu Yueyue might not be outstandingly capable, but she is diligent and has a good work attitude.
So she is still the head of the lease company.
And actually, I see great potential in Peng City’s real estate market. After assessing, I’ve found the economy here very dynamic!
With the establishment of a large number of companies and the influx of talents, there will be a surge in the demand for housing.
But because Peng City is not large and a recently established city, there is a severe shortage of residential housing, and it seems the city isn’t releasing much land for housing either.
