Chapter 418: Three Years
This car was inspired by the Bugatti Veyron, a 12-cylinder Bugatti Veyron engine, Ye Lin has done many experiments, from 8 cylinders, to 12 cylinders, and now 16 cylinders.
It's a pity that this car can't be driven out even if it's built, because there is no engine number and frame number, but these are not problems, you can label the number, just what the number is, you have to build the shape of the car.
Besides, Ye Lin didn't plan to take out this car and use it now, because there was no need, he was studying it now.
Because this is a brand new engine, it takes so much time, if it is just an existing engine, it is a matter of minutes for Ye Lin.
So what Ye Lin has to study now are some engines that are not available, and this is of course to prepare for the future.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Ye Lin came out of the space, put out Ye Lin's refurbished car, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then went to Wang Hui for dinner.
In the blink of an eye, it has been six years since Ye Lin came to the United States, and in the three years from seventy-two to seventy-five, Ye Lin has done several major things.
The first thing is that in seventy-three years, Ye Lin acquired a bankrupt automobile factory, because it was bankrupt, only the plant and production equipment remained, so it was bought for three thousand five.
The main reason is that this car factory is too small, and the cars produced are not very good, so no one has acquired them at all, otherwise they would not have been able to wait for Ye Lin.
To put it mildly, as long as you have a little fame, it is estimated that other companies have already acquired it, and Ye Lin's acquisition of this automobile factory is certainly not to make cars.
It is said that if you don't want to buy cars, Ye Lin certainly has his own ideas, with this car factory, Ye Lin can buy equipment in the name of this car factory.
Mi Guoyan is very strict about equipment management, not that you can buy it if you have money, it's not like that at all.
Although Ye Lin already has an investment company and a department store, and the legal persons of the company are all from the United States, it is basically impossible to buy equipment in the name of these two companies.
Because these two companies don't need equipment, there is no way, Ye Lin can only ask Tom to buy the collapsed car factory in the name of an investment company.
Instead, he used this car company to buy a lot of automobile production lines and machine tools, and then slightly improved the cars produced by this car company, and then went into production.
Ye Lin's slight improvement, for the car, that is a earth-shaking change, after a year of development, no one expected that this company, which had gone bankrupt a year ago, would come to life.
Not only that, because of the cheap price and good performance, it quickly occupied a place in the United States, a country with a developed automobile industry.
Ye Lin asked the car factory to launch two cars, a small family car, and a pickup truck.
And Ye Lin priced the car at 10,000 and the pickup truck at 8,000, although the price is not necessarily good, but if the price is low and the performance is good, it is another matter.
By the time of seventy-four years, the pickup trucks produced by the automobile factory accounted for half of the country in the United States, of course, this is only talking about pickup trucks.
Although there are many car companies in the United States that produce pickup trucks, the price of their pickup trucks is too high, and the performance is not better than the pickup trucks produced by Ye Lin Company, of course, they sell well.
Although the cars are also selling very well, there are too many rice automobile companies and too many cars produced, so they account for one percent at most.
But this is already a great achievement, don't forget that it's only been a year, and the reason why Ye Lin bought this car factory is just to get equipment, so after getting everything he should get, he is ready to sell the car factory.
After knowing that the car factory was going to be sold, GM and Ford came to the door, because the competition between the two companies was fierce, and in the end Ye Lin sold it at a good price.
It was sold to Ford for 800 million US dollars, including the car logo and engine technology, that is, all 800 million US dollars were sold.
Ye Lin knows that if it is a few years later, he may sell it at a higher price, and even say that he will have a place in the United States automobile industry.
But he didn't, because the competition in cars in the United States is too fierce, unless Ye Lin launches a new model, or just these two models, there is no problem in three or five years, and they will still be eliminated after a long time.
Ye Lin didn't plan to stay in the country for a long time, and he also thought about handing over the car factory to Nima and them to take care of it, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it.
There are GM and Ford here, unless he leaves all the technology here, he can beat these two companies, but in that case, what will happen to the domestic brands.
Ye Lin's technology has to be taken back to China, and it is absolutely impossible to use it here, even if he wants to rebrand the car, it can only be in China.
Ye Lin did not keep any of the money from the sale of the automobile factory, and gave all of it to the investment company and the Yikelong department store, with 500 million yuan for the investment company and 300 million for the department store.
This money has directly brought investment companies and department stores to a new level, especially Longteng Investment Company, which can be ranked on Wall Street.
The company has a small staff, only a president and a dozen professionals, but no one on Wall Street dares to underestimate this company.
Although this company rarely invests, it is positioned very accurately every time, and does not invest in the stock market at all, and invests all in companies that are just starting out, or even not yet.
However, as long as the company invests in this company, the development momentum is particularly good, let's say that the first company they invested in, Wal-Mart department stores.
Now Wal-Mart has become one of the largest department stores in the whole country, and the development momentum is very good.
Especially in the stock market, although Wal-Mart's stock price is not very high, it is also around six US dollars, you must know that there is a time of ten free five.
That is to say, looking at the stock price is not high, but the market value is high, at the beginning it was 6 billion shares, and one ten gives five, which is 9 billion shares.
This is also the reason why Ye Lin did not sell the 800 million yuan of the auto factory, because Wal-Mart's shares are now in the consolidation period, and Ye Lin sold the Wal-Mart shares in his hand.
When he bought it, it was 400 million shares, and when he sold it, it was 600 million shares, according to six yuan a share, Ye Lin now has more than 3 billion US dollars in his hand, and this money is what he is going to bring back to China, and he will definitely not move.
There is also the second investment of Longteng Investment, Motorola Company, no one thought that in the second year of Longteng Investment Company's investment, that is, in 1973, Motorola really developed a mobile phone, which greatly increased Motorola's stock price.
Although it is said that it has not yet come out, it is already in the preparation stage, and everyone knows that in a few years, Motorola's mobile phone will be available, and then it will be another leap.
This is also the reason why no one dares to underestimate Longteng Investment Company, of course, these are already listed, so it is not a secret.
What others don't know is that Longteng Investment has also invested in some small companies.
Because these small companies are not yet famous, they are even in their infancy, and they are not yet listed, so no one knows about them yet.
When others find out about it in the future, they will probably be even more surprised! But this is all for later.
After talking about Longteng Investment Company, the next thing is Ekro Department Store.
Because Ye Lin gave 300 million of the money from the sale of the car factory to Ekro Department Store, coupled with Eklon's own development, Ekro Department Store also has a place in the United States.
Although it can't be compared with Wal-Mart, in the retail industry, it has also entered the top ten in the whole meter, and most importantly, Ekro Department Store is not listed.
If it goes public, it is estimated that it will be a matter of minutes to surpass Wal-Mart, because of this matter, Radish has looked for Ye Lin many times, but Ye Lin is not the same.
Whether it is the scale or the number of stores, Ekro is not worse than Wal-Mart, and even the turnover is stronger than Wal-Mart.
At that time, Radish asked Ye Lin about the listing, and Ye Lin asked Radish a question, but Radish didn't say any more.
What Ye Lin asked was, in addition to popularity, does Yikelong make less money than Wal-Mart?
Ye Lin is right, Ekro is not less profitable than Wal-Mart, and even a lot more, because Wal-Mart is a listed company, and it has to give money to antiques, and Ekro does not need it.
That's right, the market value of Ekro cannot be compared with Wal-Mart, but that is only the market value, not net assets.
None of this is important, the important thing is that Ye Lin's purpose is in the country, yes, Ye Lin set the goal of Yikelong Department Store in the country.
Wal-Mart entered the domestic market in 1996, and Ye Lin was ready to enter the domestic market at the beginning of the reform and opening up.
Eighteen years ahead of Wal-Mart, it is estimated that by the time Wal-Mart enters China, it will have no place to stand!
It doesn't matter if you enter, if you don't enter, Ye Lin immediately sold the shares in his hand, to be honest, leaving China, Walmart is nothing.
In order to enter the country, Ye Lin prepared a billion US dollars for Yikelong, which is a billion! According to the domestic living standard, what is the concept of this billion US dollars.
In a developed country like the United States, a billion dollars may not be a big deal, and many companies have assets of more than one billion dollars, but in China, one billion dollars is definitely an astronomical amount.
There is also Ye Lin's second-hand car market, Ye Lin is also ready to close, and all the money earned in the second-hand car market in recent years has been used by Ye Lin to sell machine tools and equipment.
There are now hundreds of millions of machine tools and equipment in Ye Lin's space, but each one is only a set, as long as there are samples and templates, Ye Lin can build it himself, why spend so much money.
The machine tools and equipment sold to foreign countries are very expensive, but when you buy them in the United States, these things are very cheap, and a set of seven-axis linkage machine tools is less than two million US dollars.
If this is sold abroad, it is impossible to take 20 million yuan, and it may not be sold to you, such as China.
