Wei Yujun felt his scalp tingle whenever he thought of Chen Yiyang's age and how quickly he rose to success.

This made him put aside many concerns and start using the connections he had accumulated over the years to find ways to fully target Chen Yiyang.

A while later.

Chen Yiyang had just picked up a Qing Dynasty silver ornament from the second-hand market when Yang Chengru's call came through.

After Chen Yiyang answered, Yang Chengru said in a very serious tone, "There might be some unexpected issues with the car manufacturing license you wanted."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiyang immediately found a small restaurant and sat down.

"Don't mess with me."

"I'm not messing with you." Yang Chengru said helplessly, "The province asked the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and they said they are still considering the manufacturing license for Yiyang Automobile."

"What?" Chen Yiyang was somewhat angry immediately.

"You were the one who supported me to set up the automobile factory in Lin'an, right? Now my company is all set up, and you're telling me the manufacturing license can't be approved?"

"Listen to me," Yang Chengru said. "Car manufacturing licenses in the country have always been scarce. Even though no major brands emerged in the traditional automotive field domestically, the manufacturing capacity has actually been surplus all along.

The authorities control the surplus capacity by regulating the issuance of manufacturing licenses to avoid vicious competition. You understand this, right?"

"I can't understand it; I'm not making traditional cars, I'm making new energy vehicles," Chen Yiyang shouted immediately.

"No matter what kind of cars, the application for new manufacturing licenses is too strict now. Initially, the province could have worked hard for you.

But I got news that someone used their connections to exert influence, causing the authorities to discuss whether to issue another manufacturing license. Although they didn't explicitly say they wouldn't give it, if they do decide to give it, it will definitely take a long time to argue about."

Chen Yiyang had a mental expectation regarding whether he could get the manufacturing license.

Because it's really difficult to get a car manufacturing license domestically.

Both Future Automobile and Fei Peng Automobile did not initially apply for their manufacturing licenses themselves; they found proxy factories to sidestep the issue.

This counts as being lucky.

Unlucky ones like Baiteng Automobile, which raised 8.4 billion, ultimately couldn't get the manufacturing license approved and faced direct bankruptcy.

But why did Chen Yiyang have confidence in getting the manufacturing license before?

Mainly because Rice didn't look for a proxy factory but directly obtained the manufacturing license themselves.

Since Beijing City could get Rice the manufacturing license, Chen Yiyang thought Lin'an City could also help him get the license.

But unexpectedly, Lin'an City dropped the ball at such a crucial time.

"If Rice can get the manufacturing license why can't I?" Chen Yiyang couldn't hold back and directly questioned.

"I just found out that Rice's manufacturing license was only obtained because Beijing City forcibly revoked Bao Wo Auto's license to get it for Rice.

Lin'an City now only has one car company, Ji Li, with a manufacturing license. They can't possibly revoke Ji Li's license to give it to you, can they?"

That certainly can't happen.

Ji Li is the first private enterprise to obtain a manufacturing license in the country.

When the authorities inspected Ji Li, Ji Li's CEO directly said, "Please allow private entrepreneurs to have their sedan dreams. If we fail, just give us the opportunity to fail."

It was because of this statement that Ji Li obtained the manufacturing license, becoming the first civil car manufacturer in the country.

"Where are you now? I'll come find you." Yang Chengru felt that phone communication might not be clear.

So he simply asked for Chen Yiyang's location and took a taxi to meet him.

The two ordered a few bottles of beer and some stir-fried dishes at the small restaurant.

"The province now means to fully support your automobile factory, whether it's from the province or the city.

Although your company is established, you haven't designed the car yet, have you? You should find someone to design the car first, and if by then the manufacturing license still hasn't been approved, the province will directly appeal to the authorities and see if they give Lin'an a chance."

"Oh, if I disband the company now, I can lose less.

But if I've designed the cars and prepared to start production and make money, and the province and city still can't get the manufacturing license, I'll lose everything down to the underpants."

Chen Yiyang couldn't help but add, "Even a fool knows you can't wait until the baby is due before finding someone to take over."

"This is my mistake, I apologize to you," Yang Chengru solemnly apologized to Chen Yiyang.

Chen Yiyang also knew that Yang Chengru certainly tried his best.

The leadership team in Lin'an City had just changed recently.

No matter how well Ji Li develops, the achievements don't go to the current leadership.

The city would undoubtedly support Chen Yiyang's car factory effort in Lin'an.

But the problem now is stuck at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology doesn't fall under Lin'an City's jurisdiction.

"Look at this," Yang Chengru then pulled out his phone to show Chen Yiyang a news report.

The report was about speeches by some important people at the recent automotive forum.

Chen Yiyang took a look and saw a bright section: Some local governments have indeed crossed their boundaries, rushing to attract investment, especially by targeting new energy vehicle projects. While some have been very successful, there have also been a lot of waste, ultimately getting trapped.

"Is this talking about Lin'an City?"

Chen Yiyang looked up and asked Yang Chengru.

"I don't know, but I just know that Lin'an City has been striving hard up there many times for Yiyang Automobile Factory recently."

Chen Yiyang understood at this point that Yang Chengru had indeed done his best.

Wei Yujun, Chang Cheng.

Chen Yiyang clenched his teeth.

It's impossible for this issue of the car manufacturing license not to have their interference.

But what Chen Yiyang didn't expect was this time, the richest man entrenched in Ji Province was really willing to put out his connections against him.

Just as Chen Yiyang planned to have another beer.

His phone rang again.

He answered.

"Mr. Chen, our product has officially launched. The feedback is good; it's causing a sensation within the circle. Would you, as an investor, like to attend the celebration party?"

"What product?" Chen Yiyang didn't immediately react.

Which company that he invested in is this?

"The big model." The other side was surprised that Chen Yiyang seemed to have forgotten them.

"Wait a minute," Chen Yiyang suddenly became clear-headed.

He looked at Yang Chengru, who also planned to drink away his sorrows.

He immediately grabbed Yang Chengru's clothes.

"Stop drinking, come with me to a place."
