North and South Tongzhou connects North and South, and East and West swindlers cheat things.

Nora: "I waited patiently for eight years. Of course, I know miracles don't happen every day Later, when disaster struck, I confidently said to myself,' A miracle is coming! After Krogstein threw the letter into the mailbox, I never thought you would accept his offer. All I can think about is that you will say' just announce it' to him. After you say this, you will definitely-"

Haier Mao: "What will happen? Call my own wife a disgrace and make people laugh and scold? "

Nora: "I think with all my heart that after you said that, you will definitely stand up and take full responsibility and say to everyone,' I did everything.'" "

This is a passage from Ibsen's A Doll's House.

Nora in it is a girl I like very much, running around, from simple and kind to dreaming to recognizing reality and getting out of fantasy.

Recently, Lindsay and Nantong have repeatedly staged farce. Wang Xiaolin, whose company was blocked, whose assets were frozen, whose financing of 3.3 billion yuan was missing and who could not return to China, was put on file ... Looking on coldly, I often felt that the Nantong municipal government was like Nora from beginning to end.

Four months ago, Nantong was a little boy with light in his eyes.

On February 28th, Nantong held a theoretical study meeting. Even under the pressure of the epidemic, the leaders of the four teams in the city still attended the whole process. At the study meeting, each seat was given a "little red book"-"Rekindle passion-Suzhou's" three magic weapons "reader". The theme of the conference is to learn from Suzhou's development experience for Nantong.

They hope that they can rush to Suzhou and become a heavyweight in Jiangsu after Suzhou.

It's not easy for them to run. They really waited a long time, longer than Nora's eight years.

Nantong is perhaps the most talented city in Jiangsu.

Nantong was called Tongzhou in ancient times because of its geographical location, but in fact, in modern times, geographical location has always been its biggest constraint.

How did Suzhou get up? Thanks to the radiation in Shanghai to a great extent. Desperate business spillovers in Shanghai have helped to form large-scale urban agglomerations around it.

Nantong, like Suzhou, is one of the closest cities to Shanghai, but Nantong is a relatively inconspicuous one in the urban agglomeration. Why? Because it is very different from Suzhou: the traffic is blocked.

You may not believe that Nantong, an economic city with the 23rd GDP in 20 19, didn't even have a high-speed rail before July 2020 1.

It faces Shanghai across the river and is close at hand.

Before the Sutong Bridge was completed and opened to traffic in 2008, the development of Nantong was particularly restricted by traffic.

On the one hand, the railway passing through Nantong does not cross the river along the river. When Suzhou has been connected to Shanghai for half an hour and Nanjing has entered the three-hour city circle around Shanghai, Nantong is still hard to find a car. If you want to go to Shanghai, you can only go west through Taizhou and Yangzhou, cross the bridge to Nanjing, make a detour, and then continue south. It takes about eight hours along this line. If you change trains in Nanjing, it will take 4 hours at the earliest.

On the other hand, if you want to get to the shortest distance by car, you can only take a ferry. However, not only do you have to walk around the pier and spend at least half a day, but you also hope it won't fog, otherwise you can only watch it stop.

These two traffic roadblocks are erected there. How do you suggest attracting investment? It may take longer for the goods to arrive in Shanghai and then fly to Nantong.

In addition, there have been two major crises in Nantong.

First, it is aging. Nantong, with an elderly population of about 30%, is the most aging city in Jiangsu. Second, the pillar industries are mainly traditional industries. Architecture, machinery and home textiles are not only traditional, but also have sunset, so the potential of urban development is not optimistic.

Because of this, although Nantong also undertook a lot of industrial transfer from Shanghai, compared with the surrounding cities, the economy did not improve greatly, but the voice of bad singing could be heard everywhere.

The connecting flight took place in 2008.

In 2008, Sutong Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and the traffic distance between Nantong and Suzhou was greatly shortened. 20 1 1, Chongqi Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and Nantong has more direct access to Shanghai. Although Chongqi is often accused of high tolls, Sutong always has to bypass Taicang, but for Nantong, which has no high-speed rail and bullet trains, the situation has improved too much.

Soon, with the construction of Hutong Bridge and tongzhou bay Port Area put on the agenda, Nantong people saw that they would formally integrate into the Shanghai 1 hour commuting circle, and naturally rekindled the fireworks of hope.

They hope that they can change from a vertical traffic blind spot in the north and south to a node, stand at the "North Gate" of Shanghai and open their arms in the north and south.

As a result, Nantong began to make great strides in "opening to the outside world", and they finally had more confidence and courage to attract investment.

Of course, the completion of infrastructure does not mean that cities will rise from the ground.

Nantong has always wanted to learn from Suzhou, but everyone knows that success cannot be copied. Nantong urgently needs to find a new position to make itself indispensable in the value industry chain of the Yangtze River Delta.

Nantong should continue to focus on manufacturing industry because of its advantages in existing manufacturing industry. They put forward the ideas and goals of "highlighting the incitement of major projects and gathering strength to expand advanced manufacturing industry", "the investment target of manufacturing industry will reach 200 billion yuan", and "the output value of manufacturing industry in the whole city will exceed/kloc-0.7 trillion yuan in 2020 and reach 2.7 trillion yuan in 2025". The small goal of 200 billion in the middle is 50 billion more than Suzhou.

Nantong has never been stingy with expressing ideas, and the future Nantong is to make manufacturing king. But compared with the past, this manufacturing industry is not another manufacturing industry, and the word "advanced" has been added in front of it.

The "advanced" here includes cars.

Automobile industry is the new direction of Nantong manufacturing planning.

Choosing to develop automobiles, especially new energy vehicles, ten years ago was the right choice both politically and economically.

Traditional industries are weak, and large-scale investment in automobile industry can boost the economic power of the city. Coupled with the "new energy" shell, there are intelligent concepts, energy-saving and environmental protection labels, big cakes traveling behind the market, and China's dream of overtaking in corners. Don't be too popular with the government

In addition, Nantong actually aimed at cars as early as decades ago.

As early as the 1980s, Nantong began to explore cars. However, due to the poor location, the bus could not be built. It was not until the 1990s that a commercial vehicle manufacturer like Jiangsu Yingtian Group was exhibited. It is by no means a leader in the industry, but its annual output can be around 6,543,800+.

The only comfort is that the foundation of the parts industry is still good. At present, there are more than 50 auto parts enterprises in Nantong, of which 32 have annual sales exceeding 100 million yuan. Tires, interiors, body panels, automotive electrical appliances, engine parts, etc. Almost everything is available, and there is no lack of cooperation with joint venture brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen and Ford.

This gives Nantong the foundation for developing automobile manufacturing.

Therefore, in fact, there are still many challenges for Nantong to seriously develop its automobile industry. For example, focusing on new energy, its automobile industry chain has no advantage base; Other automobile supporting industrial clusters other than parts have never formed a climate.

However, seeing that the automobile industry in the surrounding cities is in full swing, the old-fashioned Shanghai-Nanjing Salt is not mentioned for the time being. Next door, Suzhou also has a Qoros automobile production base and a Toyota R&D center, and it is one of the few areas that have obtained the license for self-driving road testing. Nantong cannot live without dreams and worries.

I can't help it. The more you walk into their past, the more you can understand. They have been waiting for this turning point for too long.

Looking forward to the Hutong Bridge just around the corner, they firmly believe that with the change of Nantong traffic pattern, they will usher in the most important golden strategic development period.

If you don't roll up your sleeves, it's really late.

As a result, Nantong government rushed to the sea.

20 10, China's new energy automobile industry has just started. Nantong said that it will shift the main direction of Rugao Economic Development Zone to automobiles, deploy almost all investment forces, and build the only new energy automobile industrial park in the province.

20 1 1, Rugao Economic Development Zone and Sutong Science and Technology Industrial Park were named "Nantong New Energy Vehicle Characteristic Industrial Base" by Nantong Municipal Government respectively. Nantong hopes that new energy vehicles will quickly become one of the three pillar industries in Nantong, especially Rugao.

Therefore, on the road, they actually worked harder than Nanjing, the provincial capital that was re-launched in the post-Southern Seven Dynasties.

Nanjing's strength is to give money, but Nantong also provides sea fishing veneer service.

In 20 10, land ark new energy was settled in Rugao, Nantong, with a total investment of 4 billion yuan, planned land area of 1200 mu, and reserved land area of 600 mu, which was listed as the key project of Rugao in the 12th Five-Year Plan. They plan to produce 200,000 vehicles by 20 15, with an output value of 30 billion yuan and a profit and tax of 7.5 billion yuan.

When the land was requisitioned, there were a lot of disputes between the land ark and local farmers because of incomplete documents. The reporter went to interview and found that the person in charge of the office of Rugao Economic Development Zone Management Committee was more anxious than the basement. "... it's not easy for us to attract investment to establish the land ark project, and the land use problem will definitely be solved. It is not easy for enterprises to attract investment, and service is even more difficult. The government must solve the land use problem for them. "

Sincere attitude, eager words.

At that time, the Land Ark will undertake the important task of launching the new energy vehicle "Rugao Manufacturing" business card together with the Kangdi electric vehicle built next door.

Condi's ambition is not much smaller than the land ark. Although the total investment of the project is 65.438+0.2 billion yuan, which is less than one-third of the land ark, people's plan for the output of 2065.438+05 is as high as 6.5438+0 million, and they are determined to become the benchmark of the national "minibus".

20 15 is not far away, and soon it will be the harvest time promised by the land ark and condi.

In 20 15, the annual cumulative sales volume of Land Ark was about 10000, and the main sales models were low-speed electric vehicles V5 and J0. Kangdi sold 20,390 vehicles throughout the year, and the main sales model is also the low-speed electric car Panda k 1 1.

Obviously, this is far from the planned 200,000 vehicles and 6,543,800+vehicles.

In addition, both brands are mainly low-speed electric vehicles, and have not cut into the serious passenger car market. Nantong municipal government is worried about this. Their investment target began to turn to passenger car manufacturers, who are serious and had better be an instant hit.

Young cars under the banner of hydrogen energy have therefore entered the sight of Nantong people.

In 20 16, Youth Auto officially established Youth Yaman Vehicle Manufacturing Enterprise in Rugao Development Zone, and now promises that the hydrogen fuel logistics vehicle it produces can achieve sales of1500 million yuan within the year.

At the same time, it also boasts that Haikou is developing a water-hydrogen fuel vehicle that can run 1000 km with water.

As soon as I heard that overtaking in corners has such good skills, Nantong people couldn't sit still immediately. Such a high-quality enterprise must try its best to stay in Nantong.

Soon, that year, Nantong injected a lot of money into young Yaman. Pang Qingnian publicly thanked him at the event: "The Youth Car cooperated deeply with Rugao government, and the Rugao Ye Hui supply chain fund platform under Rugao government provided procurement, which solved the fund problem of order production."

What does Dai mean?

For example, Zhongrong Trust will inject 3 billion yuan into youth cars, but the way of capital injection is not to make money directly, but to transit through Rugao Ye Hui.

So who is Rugao Ye Hui (later renamed Nantong Ye Hui)?

Its sole shareholder is Nantong Jiahe (yes, Nantong Jiahe, which turned against Wang Xiaolin), and the shareholder of Nantong Jiahe after infiltration is Jiangsu Gao Kai Investment Development Group Co., Ltd.-Rugao Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee State-owned Platform Company.

Through Rugao Ye Hui, Zhongrong Trust and other financial institutions, we have raised billions of yuan in supply chain financing from Youth Automobile Group and Yaman Automobile.

The Nantong Municipal Government expects the young Yaman to bring them "the production capacity will reach 700,000 vehicles at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan, and the output value will exceed 654.38+00 billion yuan". They believe that the most competitive automobile advantage industrial cluster they built in Jiangsu Province and even the whole country is on the rise.

Taking advantage of the emotional upgrade, Pang Qingnian, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Youth Automobile Group, introduced Lindsay Automobile and Wang Xiaolin to Nantong.

After Nantong heard that there were super-running and high-end vehicles, it immediately came to life. I don't know if they did their best for Lindsay and Wang Xiaolin, but anyway, they showed their greatest sincerity and invited Lindsay and Wang Xiaolin to do their best for themselves.

Who let Wang Xiaolin play well? "We plan to make a total investment of 65.438+0.78 billion yuan, and adopt Lindsay brand and technology to downgrade the production of high-end SUVs and cars. It is estimated that the annual output value can exceed 654.38+000 billion yuan. "

At that time, Rugao Municipal Party Committee News Network reported this government work like this:

"Mr. Wang, I hope you can give Rugao a chance, and also give Wei Meng a chance to visit our park ..." It was through such short messages and telephone calls and the perseverance of a group of people in the Economic and Technological Development Zone that Wang Xiaolin was moved. He set foot in Rugao with the intention of "saving face" and "coping". However, this time, Wei Meng Group, which is wandering and indecisive in many cities, was reassured. "Automobile production qualification+government integrity service+industrial base of the park" made Lindsay finally settle down.

"The whole project, from negotiation and signing to formalities, site selection and project construction, is very smooth and fast, thanks to our full help from Rugao. It is precisely because of this thoughtful service that we decided to take root here. " Wang Xiaolin clearly remembers.

The summary title of this report is "Entrepreneur's" Needle-threading "+Government's" Nanny Service ",and 65.438+0.78 billion yuan project settled behind Rugao".

Later, when Steve Lindsay, the founder of Lindsay brand, recalled this experience, he was also very excited. "When Rugao came to California on 20 15, they promised to provide all the funds for the construction and operation of the factory, and only needed me to provide the model technology and brand."

This was the largest single investment project in Nantong manufacturing industry at that time.

20 19 Nantong joins hands with Evergrande new energy. Junjiang New Energy, a subsidiary of Evergrande, won an industrial land in Nantong, Jiangsu with a reserve price of 654.38+38 million yuan, and Jinhao Life Service won two residential land in Nantong, Jiangsu with a reserve price of 704 million yuan.

It can be seen that the Nantong municipal government is offering real money and sea fishing services. Whether they are honest or not, they are really eager to do a big job and create new income.

But what about after all the projects are completed one by one?

After the job is done, the gentry's money is returned in full; Other people's money, you seven me three?

Reality doesn't believe such fairy tales.

20 15 land ark and condi have slapped Nantong; If we do our best, the disputes between Pang Qingnian and the governments of Shizuishan, Erdos, Lianyungang, Haining and Liupanshui around 20 13, and even the police filed a case against Pang Qingnian for fraud, and Wang Xiaolin's projects in Erdos, Changsha and other places ended in nothing, which can awaken the Nantong municipal government in the form of another slap in the face.

However, a government that has just begun to ride the wind and waves is easy to get angry. Just like young people who have just fallen in love, they can't stop.

As a result, Kandy was exposed by the Ministry of Finance on 20 16, and has almost disappeared since then. This year, Kangdi turned to Shengfeng Automobile and began to focus on low-end electric vehicles. The first one just went online in July 1 1.

The land ark disclosed in 20 18 has been frozen by the local people's court for 447,000 yuan, and some fixed assets have been sealed up. At the same time, there are also many troubles such as unpaid wages, dealers changing networks one after another, and no door after sales.

Youth Automobile Group, 20 17, and its subsidiary Youth Lotus was ruled bankrupt and liquidated by the court; The farce of 20 19 "cars can run with water" was attacked by groups. Later, the workshop stopped working and there were few employees left. Its accessories related companies such as Zhejiang Youth Lotus Engine Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Yaman Engine Co., Ltd. began to implement bankruptcy procedures.

In the same year, Jinhua and Rugao signed the Minutes of the Special Meeting on Resolving the Debt Crisis of Youth Cars and Promoting the Restructuring of Youth Cars. Youth and Nantong Jiahe also signed a debt restructuring agreement, and many parties began to cooperate to deal with the debt and restructuring of youth cars.

As a result of the reorganization, another new car-making company full of dreams "boarded" the youth car and borrowed its car-making qualification.

This new car is Lindsay, who is now in close contact with the Nantong municipal government-they failed to build a car in the end, but they created a "thank you invitation". People are in America, so they can't fly. "A shocking scam across the east and west sides of the Pacific Ocean.

If Bai Teng and Bo Jun in Nanjing had tigers in their hearts, but they didn't learn to smell roses carefully and ended up regretting it, then the young people in Nantong and Lindsay were completely repentant and took the initiative to "invite wolves into the urn".

From this perspective, the Nantong municipal government has some "poor people must be hateful."

We are not qualified to spit out the government's dreams. They also spent countless days and nights trying to build the scale of the automobile industry in this city, create employment opportunities and expand income. By this year, the Hutong Bridge will fly north and south, and then Nantong Tianzhu will become a thoroughfare.

However, it is never easy to attract investment, and the best content can only be too little. Even the tune of a girl diagnosed as COVID-19 in Beijing can't write more than 60 pages in a week, not to mention that such a multi-billion automobile investment project is by no means a veneer service that can be made in a hurry.

You know, over-packaging has always been a trick for business owners.

Don't let the bullets fly for a while, use your own shortcomings for a while, and strive for the strengths of others for a while. This is self-defeating.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the Nantong municipal government that "poor people must have something hateful", but few people know that there is a second part of this sentence, "hateful people must have sad suffering"

On July 1 day, the Hutong Yangtze River Bridge, which was built for six years, was finally opened to traffic, and Nantong realized its dream and officially realized the high-speed rail entering Shanghai 1 hour. However, the new energy vehicles in Nantong may not wait for the day when they are opened to traffic.
