In the United States, it is not expensive for individuals to buy a car relative to the salary level, and those software and hardware technicians of the Galaxy Group can buy a Jaguar XJ8 with a year's salary.

The price of the car is indeed not high, but the cost before and after buying a car is not small.

When buying a car, you have to pay sales tax, and then the private property tax is also indispensable every year, the laws of each state are different, the tax rate varies from one to the other, there are about eight percent, and there are about two percent, and individual states have decided not to pay a car sales tax in order to promote it, so as to attract buyers to buy a car across the state.

Almost all Americans will have a car as an adult, and the salary is very high relative to the price of the car, and the used car market is very well-developed, which makes many people change cars from time to time.

As one of the world's most important markets, it attracts a large number of car companies to come to the United States to produce cars to avoid unnecessary tariff problems, and almost all parts and components can be found qualified substitutes in the United States, even if they are not, they can be developed and produced.

Su Mu listened to Mr. Drake introduce a lot, and was thinking about where the factory should be located if he was really engaged in the automobile manufacturing industry, but he just came to understand the situation today, and he didn't really talk about the acquisition, even if he really wanted to buy, then he had to let a whole team come over to help, and the transaction of hundreds of millions of dollars was not a big problem for him.

Cars are quietly improving, more and more on-board electronics are being applied to new cars, Ford has no advantage in this regard, often from Mr. Drake's mouth to hear the word "traditional", Su Mu does not agree with the other party's idea, in his opinion the car should be cooler, out of politeness, did not directly express his opinion.

Today's protagonist is both Su Mu and his son Su Lin.

Su Mu asked Su Lin at this moment: "What do you think of this brand of car? If you like it, maybe I can try to buy it for you, the price must be right." ”

Xiao Su Lin nodded and said, "This kind of car is very cool, I like the shape of a leopard." The XJ8 you just drove looks cool from the front, but it doesn't look good from the back. ”

"That's okay, son, when the time comes, we can ask the designer to redesign a car and make it more beautiful. ”

“……”

Hearing this conversation, Mr. Drake, the executive officer of Ford, felt that his brain was a little insufficient, he felt that he might have thought something wrong, and he was thinking about what the phrase "I can try to buy it for you" means.

****************

Not only Jaguar, Su Mu also took his son to see Aston Martin, Land Rover and McLaren, which has a Formula 1 racing team.

Quietly, he borrowed a large amount of money from the bank and began to sell, just signed an agreement with Ford at the end of September, and in October he won Land Rover, McLaren, and Aston Martin one after another, spending a total of about $3.7 billion.

The main reason is that the two brands Jaguar and Land Rover are slightly more expensive, costing $1.35 billion and $1.12 billion respectively, and the rest of the Aston Martin and McLaren are not too expensive.

He lent his son money at low interest, and this part of the money Su Lin needs to repay Su Mu in installments with interest within fifteen years, which is not a gift, and naturally it is not a gift tax, and he legally bypassed the supervision, and suddenly made his son a rich man, which can also be said to be a negative tyrant.

I wouldn't really go to cheat on my son, because I thought I could make so much money, so I dared to do it.

Before the completion of the takeover, Su Mu had already asked the Kyushu company to contact Huaxia on his behalf, trying to set up a joint venture company there, the kind of joint venture company with 50% equity to 50%, and if you want to go to Huaxia to make a car these years, you can only choose to make a joint venture with a local car company.

Not long after the news of the joint venture with Dell to build electric cars came out, people were thundered by these successive news, and the strange thing was that it was not Su Mu who was in charge of these companies, but his son.

Su Mu also posted a special article to clarify the matter, telling that it was his son who was interested in cars, and that he, who was a father, was just helping to plan, and planned to help supervise Su Lin until he became an adult, and then he would leave it alone.

The temper of hundreds of billionaires, it is difficult for others to figure it out, a group of younger people wish that they were also Su Mu's sons, as long as he nodded, he would immediately be willing to call his father, the kind that bought four automobile companies, and all four of them lost money, but no one thought that they had no possibility of coming back to life.

Time flies quite quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered October of 2000, Su Lin continues to study, and Su Mu will let him help deal with these car companies when he has time.

Ordinary courses are difficult for Su Lin, and soon after the start of school, he chose to skip a grade to the seventh grade, and will continue to rise after completing the seventh grade course, and if you put it carefully, Su Mu was almost like this back then, and usually students have to learn things for a long time, and he will look at them.

The children are good, Su Mu's life is also leisurely, busy with work and life all day long, and he does not forget to relax after being busy, and he went to Egypt for a few days on vacation at the end of October.

As we entered November, the entire Silicon Valley region began to get nervous.

The reason is that an important day is coming, but the person concerned, Su Mu, did not announce any news, which made their hearts hang.

In 1989, Sumu successfully drummed up the hypertext link protocol and created the CNC Alliance, which is an important foundation for the development of the Internet today, and is known as the beginning of the Internet in the true sense.

As the pioneer of the technology, he did not choose to make the patent completely free, but chose to postpone it, which is closely related to the countless Internet companies that have made use of hypertext link technology, and wait until November, which is the day when the patent will start to be charged.

As long as it is an Internet company, it is almost impossible to bypass the patent of hypertext link, it needs to be used everywhere in the modern Internet, it has been used to being free before, and suddenly there is news that it may have to be paid for, and the people with vested interests began to complain, and the media accused him that he was already so rich, and should not continue to make money from his peers, otherwise it would hinder the development of the Internet.

As the center of the storm, Su Mu certainly knew the news, and didn't bother to pay attention to the unknown tabloid.

It is only natural that he will be rewarded for his efforts, and when he was charged patent fees by his peers and competed with him through joint suppression, no one stood up to say these "fair words".

When he came back from Egypt, his skin darkened, and he issued a statement on the same day, telling him that the patent would be charged this time, and every company and individual who used hypertext transmission technology to earn advertising fees would have to pay him money, but the good news was that it would not start until January next year, and the specific announcement would be announced in the near future.

The entire Silicon Valley area became a sensation in an instant......
