In order not to look like a character from Lagin’s fairy tale “Old Man Hottabych” and not to look like a boy hiding Aladdin’s lamp, Mr. Alikhavnov tries to pretend that car production did not break out in his office, but in the Avtotor factory. There, three Chinese took keys at once and deftly created something. Increasing secrecy and increasing prosperity, the governor said that “by the end of the year, the company plans to produce from 1,500 to 2,000 cars, and the company’s production plan for 2023 envisages the production of at least 50,000 cars, and as new partners are attracted, this figure can rise to 100,000″.
It is extremely difficult to understand the parameters of partnership from his words. To date, three Chinese manufacturers have been promised, working in the sudden secrecy. Their troops will muster 50,000 something there. In order to earn twice as much in the regime of state secrets, investors therefore need not three, but six.
At the same time, according to released data, the construction of eight new plants, with a total cost of 5.7 billion rubles, is being completed at the new Avtotor production site (where were the beds before?). Exactly what these productions are going to do, who is building them and where the money will come from is again a mystery. But for us the main secret remains not secret factories and mysterious investors, but future buyers who dream of acquiring the next “Chinese”, and most likely on electric traction.
