From the national highway down, there is a section of rural cement road extending into the metasequoia forest, through the metasequoia forest you can faintly hear the roar of the engine, the road sign erected at the head of the road signs "Tianwan Village Industrial Park" and other buildings.

"This is it," Xu Bin said, pointing to the street sign, "It's rare to see such a village industrial park in Xinhai, and the rent is very affordable, but it will be demolished soon." Gu Fan is too picky and playful, and the carsmith can't make much money, if there is no cheap factory to rent here, it will be difficult to sustain himself. ”

They followed the roar of the engine, entered the northwest corner of this factory, and saw a courtyard surrounded by white ash walls, two big wolf dogs with yellow hair and black stripes, tied to the gate with iron chains, barking at Cao Mo and them.

The watchdog is so fierce, Cao Mo, Qian Wenhan, and Shen Ji don't dare to get out of the car easily.

Maybe the performance of the engine is being tested, the noise is very loud, and there is no facility such as a workshop for reducing irritability, Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang made a few calls but no one answered, so they could only get out of the car hard, and under the protection of the driver, the probe looked into the factory.

An old man in a gray jacket with short flat hair but a little gray was smoking in the yard, with oil stains all over his body, and when he saw Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang getting out of the car to look inside, he hurriedly ran over and kicked each of the two wolf dogs on the buttocks, glanced at several luxury cars outside the factory gate, and said to Xu Bin:

"Xiao Xu, are you going to be finalized every day, how did you hear that you plan to buy Huachen's production line?

"Xu Gong, what about others?" Xu Bin had a lot of respect for the old man, and when he saw Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan getting out of the car behind, he introduced them to them, "Xu Gong, Xu Aihua, the chief engineer of our Huachen No. 2 Factory, Xu Lizheng and I have both interned under him, and we are both the masters of the two of us - he retired from Huachen, he didn't want to be idle, and he was not happy to accept the re-employment of the joint venture car factory, so he went to Gu Fan's side to be a consultant." Xu Gong, these two are investors in Tianyue Industry, and they came to meet Gu Fan today......"

Xu Aihua beckoned a young man about twenty years old and asked him to go to the workshop and call Gu Fan over.

There are no noise reduction facilities, the noise of the test engine in the factory area is amazing, Xu Aihua smoked a cigarette, and did not forget to take out a pack of crumpled red plums from his pocket and give them to Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan: "You don't dislike my bad cigarettes, do you?"

With such high qualifications, he is unwilling to accept the re-employment of a large joint venture factory, but he comes to this small suburban factory to play modification, either he is not bad for money, or he does not love money.

Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan saw that they couldn't scare people with their net worth, so they honestly took the red plum cigarette and stood at the door of the factory to smoke it.

In the harsh noise, Xu Aihua also pulled his voice and asked Tianyue Industry about the acquisition of Huachen's production line.

Tianyue Industry has officially submitted a proposal to Huachen for the acquisition of pickup production lines and technology, but Huachen looked down on Xu Bin, Xu Lizheng, and Huang Yijiang before, and dragged it out without negotiations.

There are no specific details, but there is nothing to hide about the general framework of the acquisition plan, and Xu Bin even suspects that Hua Chen has already leaked out their proposals.

Xu Bin also said that the two buyers that Huachen had contacted before had withdrawn from the negotiations, and Tianyue Industry had become the only buyer, and the two sides would soon formally negotiate, and the investors of Tianyue Industry attached great importance to this acquisition, and Qian Wenhan would personally participate in the negotiations.

"I know that you big bosses have some feelings, but it's not easy to get into the car industry. And if you really want to lay down the foundation, it's not a billion and eight billion that can be played," Xu Aihua looked at Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan, and said, "If you plan to take three or five billion to come in and play tickets, I think Xiao Xu's previous idea is very feasible, and he can live well in a narrow market......

Cao Mo smiled silently, it was obvious that Xu Aihua knew in his heart that after Tianyue Industry took over Huachen's pickup assets, their Yeluzi modification factory would no longer be taken seriously, and it might not be able to maintain it anymore, and a group of people could only part ways.

Xu Aihua, the old man, seems to be loyal, but he still has his own shrewd calculations, but on the other hand, it also shows that the operation of the modification factory is very difficult.

Of course, Xu Bin's previous thinking was good, and Xu Aihua's words were not without merit.

As far as the existing technical threshold is concerned, Tianyue uses the domestic industrial chain that has been quite perfect, as long as it is determined to invest and find the right team, even if it develops low-end pickup products from a blank, it will not be more expensive than the previous development of new motorcycle models.

However, since they can take over Hua Chen's pickup assets, it means that they can stand on a higher starting point and promote this matter from the beginning, and he is not pulling Qian Wenhan to make up three or five billion tickets.

............

............

“...... Hello, hello, I'm sorry. When you set off, Mr. Xu called me to inform me, I turned my head and went into the workshop to do a test, and I forgot about it, look at my pig-like brain, and I didn't have my mobile phone by my side......"

Gu Fan just took off his work clothes, put on a suit, and walked towards the gate, greeting in a crisp voice.

Gu Fan hurriedly changed into a suit, looking very formal, but his long oily hair was tied into a short braid at the back of his head, and at first glance he was a much more fashionable player than Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang;

"Cough!" Xu Bin saw that Gu Fan regarded Cao Mo and Shen Ji as Qian Wenhan's followers, so he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Old Gu, Mr. Gu, this is Mr. Cao Mocao, the major shareholder of our Tianyue Industry, and this is Mr. Shen Ji, the director and shareholder of Tianyue Industry, Mr. Shen - Mr. Qian of Xinhong Investment, no need for me to introduce, they are all famous in Xinhai, Mr. Gu, you will recognize Mr. Qian!"

"Ah!" Gu Fan was stunned for a while, turned around to apologize to Cao Mo, his hand that was a little stuck in his brain stopped in mid-air, and asked, "Have I met Mr. Cao somewhere?"

"Mr. Gu thinks about it again, although I don't talk much, I won't be so unimpressive. Cao Mo smiled.

"......" Gu Fan's memory suddenly got a little stuck, as if a name had rushed to the top of his head, and the last layer of membrane could not be pierced.

Qian Wenhan, Xu Bin, and Shen Ji all looked at Cao Mo in surprise, but they didn't expect him and Gu Fan to recognize each other.

"We worked as a cellmate in Songting Detention Center for a month - Mr. Gu was driving a modified car on the road at that time, was intercepted by the traffic police and escaped, and was finally arrested and placed in administrative detention for a month, so I won't mention it. I didn't expect that after all these years, Mr. Gu didn't 'change the evil and return to the right', the good repair shop was no longer in operation, and he directly opened the modification factory," Cao Mo stretched out his hand to hold Gu Fan, and introduced him to Qian Wenhan, Xu Bin, and Shen Ji about his past intersection with Gu Fan, and said with a smile, "I still remember that Mr. Gu said that if I can't find a job after I get out of the detention center, I can go to you, and in the past few years, Mr. Gu wants to deny it?"

Everyone present knew Cao Mo's past, but they didn't expect that Gu Fan had also been detained for driving a modified car on the road, and he even got acquainted with Cao Mo because of this.

"My God, Cao Mo! I remember, your name is about to kill me," Gu Fan's memory was completely opened, he looked at Cao Mo in shock, and held his hand, "How did you become an investor in Tianyue Industry?" I also inquired about Xiao Changmin later, saying that you were acquitted, but no one knew where you lived, and I didn't see who you were looking for, what did you do later, did you do so big?

"I've really found gold in Africa, and now I have a lot of stinky money in my hands!" Cao Mo said with a smile.

Gu Fan thought Cao Mo was joking, but seeing that Xu Bin, Qian Wenhan and others all looked like "that's it", patting his forehead and couldn't imagine what kind of life experience Cao Mo had after leaving the detention center: "Is there really a gold mine to dig in Africa?"

Gu Fan stopped the test in the workshop, and without the roar of the engine, the small factory yard was quiet.

Cao Mo chatted with Gu Fan and the others, and rushed directly to visit the garage of the turner, and saw that the interior of the warehouse-style workshop was about 200 square meters; compared with the larger factories, the layout was much messier, and there were not so many people to clean up, but there was no shortage of equipment.

Several cars were dismantled to empty shelves, and on the large operating table on one side, several engines were directly fixed to it, two of which were connected to different measuring instruments, and several staff members were surrounding the test instruments to compare the data.

Obviously, the loud roar just now came from these two engines, and the staff were wearing noise-canceling earmuffs that had not yet been taken off.

Cao Mo doesn't know much about engines, but he doesn't know anything about them.

It was hard for him to imagine that two ordinary in-line four-cylinder and opposed four-cylinder engines could start at the same time to make such a strong sound just now, and he thought that Gu Fan must have done something to these two engines, so that people intuitively judged that the performance of these two engines had been greatly improved.

There are a lot of newly rich people in Xinhai, who like to play modified cars, but they also change the wheels and install the tail wing or something, and few people will think of improving the performance of the engine through modification, which is too risky and requires extremely high professional technology.

Seeing that Gu Fan was focusing on this aspect, Cao Mo thought to himself that it was no wonder that the refitting factory couldn't sustain it, and to study this art, the ordinary small money was definitely not enough to burn.

Approaching the past, Cao Mo saw that compared with the original factory, some parts looked like they were made by hand, and the processing was not so fine.

Cao Mo then visited the workshop next door, where a Ferrari and two BMW Z4s were being modified, but they were all modifications in the ordinary sense, and they were the main business of the modification factory to survive, but there was no way to let Gu Fan and Xu Aihua's strength come into play.

On the opposite side of the two workshops, there was also a north-facing warehouse, and Cao Mo and the others walked in and saw a car that had not yet been painted on the workbench.

The slender coupe model, the side panels of the body are still open, and you can directly see the internal structure, which is mainly assembled from parts removed from other second-hand cars or sports cars, and there are also many hand-made spare parts, and the position of the rear engine is vacant.

The two modified engines in the south-facing workshop that are being tested are obviously prepared for this assembled new car.

"Old Gu, you were intercepted by the traffic police when you drove an assembled car in the detention center, wouldn't you have been working hard to improve your assembled car in the past few years?" Cao Mo knew that Gu Fan was obsessed with playing modified cars in the detention center, but he didn't expect him to be obsessed to this extent.

Cao Mo spent two years in the Dongsheng workshop.

Although his theoretical level cannot be compared with a person like Gu Fan, his hands-on ability is also first-class, otherwise he would not have been able to support the operation of the Yibogu Gold Mine alone.

That's right, he knows that it is not very difficult to assemble a coupe or sports car that can run and barely go on the road, but the horror is that after assembling it, he still wants to invest money and energy unremittingly for several years with the strength of one or several people, and constantly improve and improve the performance of the assembled car and make it practical.

If this can be done by one individual and a few people, then what is the need for a tight and huge industrial system?

Cao Mo saw Xu Bin's acquisition plan for the carsmith modification factory, and Gu Fan had several patented technologies in his hands, which must have been the result of constantly pondering and improving the process of assembling the car for several years.

The proposal gave an appraisal price of 6 million for these patents in Gu Fan's hands.

Based on Xu Bin, Huang Yijiang's personal relationship with Gu Fan, presumably this appraisal price was also recognized by Gu Fan.

However, Cao Mo can imagine that Gu Fan's investment in this assembled car will far exceed six million.

What do you say about "poor cars, rich watches"?

I have the ability to play modding!

I don't want to evaluate Gu Fan's modification factory and how much value this assembled car has to Tianyue Industry, but just seeing that there are people in China who can do this kind of modified car, Qian Wenhan and Shen Ji are also very interested.

If it weren't for the complicated disassembly and assembly of the engine, they all wanted Gu Fan to drive the car out of the warehouse and go around twice, and test the extent to which he had improved the performance of this assembled car with his efforts for many years.

Everyone was commenting on the assembled car in the warehouse, and a beautiful woman with an outstanding demeanor stepped on her high heels and came over to greet her: "Just passed."

When I came to see Mr. Xu's car, I thought it was Tianyue's investor who came over, Gu Fan is usually rough, no rudeness, right?"

"Mr. Zhao Zhi and Mr. Zhao, the proprietress of the carpenter, speak more effectively than Lao Gu," Xu Bin introduced the woman to Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan, "Mr. Zhao, you probably can't imagine it, Lao Gu and Mr. Cao are still cellmates, and the world is really small! If I had known this, Yijiang and I would not have delayed so late, and dragged Mr. Cao, Mr. Qian and Mr. Shen over." ”

“......”

Zhao Zhi obviously heard Gu Fan talk about what happened in the detention center, and had heard of Cao Mo, so he was also shocked and looked at Cao Mo, and asked after a while,

"Cao-is Mr. Cao designated to buy the Turnwright Modification Factory?"

"I don't know much about technology and operation, and I don't care much about the specific operation of Tianyue Industry - this time it was Xu Bin who made a suggestion, and I guessed that Mr. Gu should have an old friend after reading the plan, but I have been in Africa, and I have not had the opportunity to visit Mr. Gu and Mr. Zhao. Cao Mo said politely.

“...... Then Mr. Cao thinks the carsmith has any acquisition value?" Zhao Zhi asked bluntly.

Zhao Zhi seemed a little urgent, you must know that before he came over, Gu Fan talked about the old and casually introduced some of the experience of the car maker in modification, and did not mention the acquisition in half a sentence.

"Cough!" Gu Fan intercepted Zhao Zhi's words and said, "It's really unexpected to meet Cao Mo today, drink two cups at night, what are you doing in a hurry?"

Although the car maker has several patented technologies, it is far from mature in terms of the whole vehicle.

The next focus of Tianyue Industry is pickup trucks and small and medium-sized urban off-road modified production on the pickup platform, while Gu Fan seems to have accumulated some technology and experience in recent years, but he mainly focuses on the assembled coupe that he is interested in.

The team of the turner, although there are two masters, Gu Fan and Xu Aihua, is too small in scale and too weak in profitability, and the workers hired are all at the level of technicians, but they do not have research and development capabilities.

It can be said that as long as Tianyue Industry can take over Huachen's pickup production line, the turnwright will not have much specific value to Tianyue Industry - so within the Tianyue Industrial team, even if everyone knows that Gu Fan has personal relations with Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang, some people are clearly opposed to the acquisition of the carmaker.

Xu Aihua knew this very well, so he persuaded them to give up the acquisition of Huachen's pickup assets as soon as they met.

Gu Fan was also very aware of this, so he just talked about the old days, avoided talking about the acquisition, and stopped Zhao Zhi from mentioning it at this time.

Zhao Zhi was silent for a while, dissatisfied with Gu Fan's interception of her words, and endured that she didn't quarrel with Gu Fan, picked up the cigarette and lighter on the table and walked out, standing outside the warehouse and "snapping" to light the cigarette.

"......" Gu Fan smiled and didn't explain anything, so he walked out and pulled Zhao Zhi aside to speak.

Xu Aihua also sighed and fell silent.

Qian Wenhan and Shen Ji glanced at each other, and they were very shrewd to ask Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi what happened.

Obviously, Gu Fan couldn't wipe his face and begged Cao Mo, who suddenly met a few years later, to buy the carsmith modification factory, but Zhao Zhi was bent on selling the carmaker - they asked more at this time, didn't they get off the stage for themselves?

Seeing Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi walking away, Cao Mo and the others also walked out of the warehouse to breathe, standing in the yard and smoking Xu Aihua's cheap red plums.

"I have no opinion on how you play over the years, and I have nothing unhappy with you, and I don't think it's a pity to play with the house and car. Even if we are penniless, there will be no problem in finding a job to support ourselves, Xiaoya can take care of herself by herself, and we don't need to prepare or arrange anything for her. Gu Fan, really, I don't regret it. However, if my father's disease can't be cured, or if my father is more than eighty years old, we don't have to waste any money, but he is not yet seventy, and it is not that it cannot be cured, how can I give up the rescue? Or your parents, who are not young, cardiovascular, heart, high blood pressure, all body problems, you don't consider these when you play with the car, but I really have to spend a lot of money in the hospital in the future, I can't pat my ass and say that I can't get the money, right? For my father's illness, I have taken more than 300,000 yuan from my sister, you know what kind of person my brother-in-law Zhou Jian is, he has urged me to pay back the money several times, and I have a lot of trouble with my sister!"

"Your sister's more than 300,000 yuan, I can find a way to raise it!"

"What can you think of? Can you think of a way, I need to see Zhou Jian's face? Don't go to your sister. Your side is a bottomless pit, I don't know how much money a broken car has been smashed into it over the years, a good repair shop has been bankrupted by you, and the money that your sister has posted to us openly and secretly is not a million, and it is not much worse, you don't have a face, I still have a face. You managed to sell the carpenter, and everyone was relieved. ”

"Tianyue is now going to directly buy Huachen's pickup production line, the starting point of the station is different from the platform, and the turner is worthless in their eyes - Xu Bin is already enough to help us, I can't make it difficult for him. ”

"This Cao Mo, you wipe your face and beg him, the carpenter is worthless, three or five million is still worth it, right?"

"The detention center is chaotic, what kind of true friendship do you think you can really make? I don't open my mouth, everyone is still a cellmate, if I open my mouth, do you think people will really not lose their faces, and they will really take three or five million to sympathize with me?"

"If you don't say, I'll open this mouth, okay?"

"It's useless - you don't know Cao Mo, but you have to think about it, a person at the age of seventeen or eighteen dared to stab Han Shaorong's subordinates with a knife twelve times, and the first time he entered the detention center, he was older than the old oilmen who entered the palace, and no one dared to bully him......;

"Why don't you try it?"

"Okay, I'll leave them for dinner first, I'll mention it when I get a chance. ”

Although the distance was relatively far, Cao Mo still listened to the conversation between Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi in his ears, and asked Shen Ji with a smile: "I am a person, doesn't it seem very simple?"

"Huh?" Shen Ji was a little confused by Cao Mo's question, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just ask casually. Cao Mo smiled.
