Chapter 3165
After Pearson made a small joke, he began to talk about some recent plans of the Ernest company, as well as some relatively recent goals, such as what models would be released, what the price range would be, what the output would be, what kind of companies would need to be cooperated with, how large the orders needed were, and so on. These were all relatively specific issues.
These issues were naturally also issues that everyone was very concerned about. The investors and reporters below were also recording what Pearson said very seriously, which was very important for the decisions of the investors.
After Pearson finished speaking, it was question time. The investors and reporters below could ask him questions at will. However, this kind of questioning was also a matter of routine, without much substantive content. After all, the Ernest company was also just in the initial construction stage.
If these investors wanted to talk about some substantive issues, they would not talk about them publicly on such an occasion. This, of course, had to be negotiated privately between the two parties after the investment promotion conference because these things involved commercial secrets.
In short, today's investment promotion conference was generally held very successfully. The Baozhou Municipal Government and the Mabu Automobile Industrial Park both displayed their style in front of the investors, and the grand gesture of the Ernest company also shocked many investors. This could be seen from the atmosphere at the scene.
After the investment promotion conference ended, the Baozhou Municipal Government hosted a banquet for these investors at the Municipal Government Guest House. In the afternoon, these investors, organized by the Baozhou Municipal Government, went to the Mabu Automobile Industrial Park to visit. The current industrial park was still a blank slate, and only the Ernest company was carrying out civil engineering work.
The investment of the Ernest company was a grand gesture. A large number of construction machines had entered the site. The company's office building, factory buildings, dormitory buildings, research institute, and other buildings were to be built at the same time. The first phase of the project would be built at the fastest speed. Therefore, the construction site of the Ernest company looked very magnificent, and one felt it was a grand gesture at a glance.
Such a grand gesture was very easy to make people feel shocked, which made these investors' confidence in the Ernest company increase greatly because the Ernest company's strength was very strong, and it was not the kind of company that might fail at any time.
In the following days, these investors stayed in Baozhou City to negotiate with the industrial park management committee and also negotiate with the Ernest company. What they negotiated with the management committee was naturally the investment agreement, and what they negotiated with the Ernest company was the long-term supply agreement.
Not many days later, good news came. More than a dozen automotive parts manufacturers had signed formal investment agreements with the industrial park and would settle in the Mabu Automobile Industrial Park. In addition, a group of investors had also signed intent agreements.
With these manufacturers settling in the industrial park, the industrial park suddenly became lively. Now several investors had selected the land they liked and were preparing to start building factories on these lands.
What they chose was naturally the land next to the Ernest company. This industrial park was built relying on the Ernest company. These enterprises also signed long-term supply agreements with the Ernest company, so naturally, the closer they were to the Ernest company, the better.
This was also the reason why these investors decided to invest and build factories in the industrial park so quickly. Strike first to gain the upper hand. If you decide early, you can choose the best plot of land. Everyone understands such a simple truth.
And these investors who decided the fastest were mostly those emerging domestic automotive parts manufacturers. Their enterprise scale was not large, and there were not many shareholders. Basically, those who came to Baozhou to participate in this investment promotion conference were bosses. They didn't need to discuss with others and could make decisions directly by themselves, so the decisions were made quickly.
This was also because they were coastal businessmen with great drive. Once they identified a project, they could make a decision very quickly. If they didn't have drive, they wouldn't be able to make their first pot of gold.
On the contrary, those well-known large enterprises did not make decisions so quickly because their company scale was large and there were many levels. These representatives sent by their companies to participate in the investment promotion conference had to feed back the information obtained at the investment promotion conference to the company, and the company would report it level by level, analyze it according to this information, and then decide whether to invest in the industrial park.
Such a process, no matter how fast, it was impossible to make a decision in ten days, half a month, or even more than a month.
Therefore, sometimes, small enterprises have the advantages of small enterprises.
Of course, small enterprises also have their disadvantages, that is, they are still relatively weak in technical strength, and there are also defects in quality control, which cannot be compared with large enterprises.
However, when the Ernest company signed long-term supply contracts with them, it set strict quality standards. As long as the products did not meet their quality standards, the Ernest company would absolutely not accept them, and would also require compensation from the supplier for not supplying on time.
These small enterprises could accept such harsh terms, partly because they were small enterprises, and those large automobile manufacturers generally could not cooperate with them. This opportunity was too good for them. The Ernest company had huge potential, but it was only in the initial stage. This was their best opportunity. After this time, they might never have such an opportunity again.
For this opportunity, no matter how harsh the terms were, they were willing to accept. Without such courage, they wouldn't have today. One must know that they were a group of survivors who killed their way out of the cruel business market.
Secondly, the Ernest company also promised in the agreement that they would send technical personnel to provide technical guidance to these suppliers and strictly control the quality of their products. This was also the main reason why they were willing to accept this harsh term.
They realized that this was an opportunity not to be missed for the growth of their enterprises. The main technical personnel of the Ernest company all came from Europe and were top-notch in technology. They could come to their enterprises to provide technical guidance. What a good opportunity this was?
The bosses of these enterprises, to put it bluntly, were township entrepreneurs. They had courage and decisiveness, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to stand out from the first batch of township enterprises. However, their defect was that their foundation was too poor, especially in technology, where there were great defects. They could even treat a few skilled workers dug from state-owned enterprises as treasures. Now that there was such an opportunity, how could they not be overjoyed?
In short, the Mabu Automobile Industrial Park had already had a very good start. The Ernest company had already started construction, and the first batch of supporting enterprises had already entered the industrial park. I believe that in a few months, the Mabu Automobile Industrial Park would have a completely different appearance from now.
