Why should Volvo build a factory in Daqing?

A few years ago, I first heard that Volvo was going to build a factory in Daqing. I'm confused. Daqing is in the position of "cockscomb flower" in China with high dimension, so the production cost should be relatively high, right? For example, there is no ready-made parts manufacturer in that place, and the cost of transportation and heating is likely to be higher than that of factories in other regions. Especially in terms of transportation, North China is closest to it, 1000 kilometers, and Central China and South China are further away. China's gas and high-speed fares are not cheap, and these costs will eventually fall on car buyers.

I once asked the people of SAIC-GM, which is the assembly plant, Shanghai, Wuhan, Yantai and Shenyang, which is more cost-effective? The other party said that they hadn't thought about it. But in fact, they may be really interested in it later, because they called specifically to talk about it. Some people may think that this cost is nothing. However, the former president of Ford Motor Company once said in his memoirs that in order to save money as much as possible in difficult times, they specially modified the size of new cars according to the length of transport vehicles to reduce logistics costs.

At that time, Li Shufu visited many cities and said that he would invest in setting up factories. These cities are very popular, but when he said that he would use money to buy Volvo, these cities were silent. Only Daqing took out real money and supported Li Shufu to complete the acquisition. It can be said that without Daqing's money, the acquisition could not be completed. Why do you think of setting up a factory in Daqing?

In business, without benefits, Li Shufu will not set up a factory in Daqing.

When Geely bought Volvo, Daqing helped a lot of money on the condition that it set up a factory in Daqing.

Now, local governments should use real money to attract large enterprises. In order to attract investment and local economic development, they tried their best.

Daqing is a resource-based city and needs transformation and development, so Daqing is dominated by universities and high-tech industries. At present, Daqing has introduced Heilongjiang Bayi Agricultural University, Northeast Petroleum University, Harbin Medical University Daqing Campus, Harbin Normal University Daqing Campus and other universities, and established a university town, which has developed well. Why did Volvo build a factory in Daqing again? Li Shufu needed a lot of money when he bought Volvo, so he looked for funds all over the country. Daqing City Investment was also looking for high-tech projects at that time, and naturally reached a deal. Volvo is currently in Longfeng District of Daqing, which has driven hundreds of supporting manufacturers and promoted the development of Longfeng District. It is said that Volvo's salary is currently upstream in Daqing.

Because Daqing pays, and the most! But the condition must be to build a factory in Daqing. Lao Li is very reluctant, but there is nothing he can do. Under economic pressure, he had to bite the bullet and do it! This is a political factor, and building a factory in Daqing is not conducive to the development of enterprises. All kinds of costs are rising, so Volvo is made in China, and we haven't seen much cheaper. Because they are basically assembly plants, there is no industrial chain.

Actually, it's quite deceptive. I can't help it We'll see.

Look at the output and profit of FAW, and then look at the serious technology-intensive industries in Northeast China. This is not like fast-moving consumer goods and low-quality consumables. Can't fake, can't cut corners, can't shoddy. This is the real kung fu. Li Shufu should choose the northeast city to settle down at this point.

Geely is not in the same class as other enterprises in China, so you can't understand Li Shufu's routine with the thinking of other enterprises in China. Li Shufu moved Geely's production line to Ningbo because Ningbo has the largest auto parts market in China, and car companies in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea purchase parts and assemblies in Ningbo, saving production costs. The production line is located next to Beilun Port, which not only saves the domestic transportation cost of finished cars, but also can be exported on a large scale. Now it is spectacular to see the export parking lot and vehicle loading of Geely Automobile. Then the research institute and test center moved to Ningbo, and the production line of high-end cars was also placed in Ningbo. Not satisfied, he cooperated with Belarus to produce private cars in Belarus, which has been put into production.

There is only one Daqing, which is rich in oil. This is a newly built city, with a population from all directions and many talents and intellectuals. They embody spiritual civilization everywhere. The city is very sanitary, the beautification is also in place, the houses with clean air and fresh population are ideal, and they are good places for people to live.

The reason must be that Daqing paid for Volvo bought by Geely and bought a batch of cars that Geely couldn't sell as taxis. All the strange taxis that can't be seen in the whole country are in Daqing, haha.

However, Daqing is not really remote. It is located between Harbin and Qiqihar, the starting point of Daguang Expressway, with convenient transportation and complete facilities, which is worth Geely's investment.

There are mainly the following aspects:

First, Daqing is an energy city. 65,438+00 years ago, it was proposed to transform cities, increase the proportion of non-oil economy and develop other alternative industries. The leaders introduced Volvo cars in many ways for the development and long-term development of Daqing and to prevent Daqing from becoming the next "Yumen". Urban development has begun to work hard again.

Second, Geely needs financial support when it buys Volvo. Daqing took out real money to help Geely turn losses into profits and complete the acquisition of Volvo. Since then, Geely's development has embarked on a formal. It can be said that Daqing is full of sincerity.

Third, because of financial pressure, Daqing paid for Geely's stock car. As a taxi in Daqing, it eased the financial pressure of Geely's work and eased the business pressure. It can be said that Daqing is full of sincerity every time.

Fourth, tax incentives. As long as it can promote the transformation of energy-based cities, Daqing has achieved the greatest tax incentives for Volvo. Of course, Volvo has also solved the employment problem of nearly 10,000 people in Daqing.

Five, all kinds of subsidies, Daqing is vast and sparsely populated. Needless to say, because Daqing belongs to the alpine region, the workshop needs heating facilities, and Daqing is also a subsidy. Volvo employees can also get discounts when they buy houses locally in Daqing. Which city can give so many discounts?

Volvo has developed very well in Daqing in recent years. This year began to invest in the second phase. Daqing Vocational College has specially trained a group of technicians for Volvo, and Volvo has too many preferential blessings before taking root in Daqing.
