found a public phone booth, reported the location to Zhou Aifu, and waited for him to come and pick it up.

Yang Quan waited for a long time when he saw a Mercedes-Benz Extended E-Class driving over, and was about to get out of the way when he stopped in front of him. When he saw Zhou Aifu's big face peeking out of the window, he couldn't believe that his uncle was so good here.

Surprised that this is the official car is sitting up, the big red flag is a grade of official car. Yang Quan thought that his uncle would not be disadvantaged if he was not short of money, accommodation and travel life, but he still underestimated this row.

Have an international meeting with Zhou Aifu - after a big hug, he immediately threw the backpack full of pickles in his hand to him. Squatting on the ground and gently touching this black Mercedes-Benz 230E extended car, this is the first domestic Mercedes-Benz car.

Tapping the black Mercedes door, this time-traveling design is simply too beautiful to describe in words.

The front face has three horizontal and one vertical plated camel grille, the rear shape is simple, the lines are smooth, and the taillights and headlights echo each other, all of which are arranged horizontally. The protruding bumper at the front and rear is very practical, but a little abrupt. 15-inch wheels, black body color black trim cover, large Mercedes-Benz logo stands in the center ring.

The current Mercedes-Benz elongated body size is 5355mm*1786mm*1480mm, and the wheelbase is 3425mm.

The W123 is the first generation of the E-Class officially produced by Mercedes-Benz with a 630 mm longer wheelbase. Among the W123 officially recognized by Mercedes-Benz, there are four models: 250, 280 E, 240 D, and 300 D, while the 230 E is a "specialty" in China.

In order to draw on the experience of luxury car production, FAW and Mercedes-Benz began negotiations with Daimler in 1984 to deepen cooperation in the development of a new generation of Hongqi sedans. The two sides held the third negotiation in BJ, which resulted in a letter of intent.

The whole project is divided into three phases, adopting a combination of technology and trade, and the models are selected as Mercedes-Benz 123 series 200 type, 230E and extended type, and 1,000 SKD and CKD are assembled.

The German side provides welding line, paint line design, assembly line and part of the tooling fixture, the total cost is 3.67 million marks, the first phase of the use of Mercedes-Benz trademark, and finally 172 vehicles are imported in the form of complete vehicles, and it is agreed to add the "Made in Changchun" logo on the side of the body. In the second phase, the German side will provide 400 sets of dies, and the remaining 175 sets of dies will be provided after 3-4 years of after-sales service from the German side, at a cost of 4 million marks.

On January 2, 1985, FAW signed a contract with the German Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company to assemble Mercedes-Benz cars, and produced 828 Mercedes-Benz cars of various models, of which less than 300 were lengthened three-row seats.

The end result was that the cooperation with the German Mercedes-Benz renovation Dahongqi was not successful, and Daimler gave up the continuation of the cooperation with Daimler despite the sincere conditions put forward. These "domestic" 230 E's were distributed throughout the country as local government reception vehicles and for receiving foreign guests.

Using the key to open the trunk and putting the backpack in, Yang Quan looked at the rather wide trunk and pouted, what do you need to pack such a big one?

Sitting in the back row and touching the soft sofa seats, the ashtray by the double doors in the back row, sighed that capitalism is rotten and life is good. The eight seats are all made of intermediate fabric and leather spliced around, and Yang Quan uses the "Ge You" sitting posture to enjoy the capitalist sugar-coated cannonballs.

Since the car is an extended version of the model, the rear doors are also significantly longer. The space between the rear seats and the front seats is very spacious, and the folding seat used by the secretary in the middle is folded up at this time and is not opened, Yang Quan looks at the luxury leg space and keeps appreciating.

2.3-liter inline-four engine with 136 hp at 5,100 rpm and 205 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. It is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with ground shifting. The drive form is front-mounted rear-wheel drive, and the suspension type is a double-wishbone independent front suspension + towing specific torsion beam is a non-independent suspension.

FAW Mercedes-Benz, the name is magnificent. This has to be the treatment of bureau-level cadres, Comrade Zhou, you are doing a good job, bring your eldest nephew with you," Yang Quan came to his uncle's side and sighed. Mercedes-Benz is a translation of FAW, and there is a one-word difference from the Mercedes of later generations.

"What a yin and yang strange voice, go aside. "Zhou Aifu has recently gotten used to being with TJ people, and he speaks with a cross talk tone.

"Okay, normal. Speaking of Comrade Zhou, you have never borrowed this car?" Yang Quan leaned to the side and asked Zhou Aifu.

"My friend's car, I don't know how it came about. I can't remember the road in this place, so I can only have someone to deliver it. ”

Yang Quan remembered that this Hongqi temporary replacement car was mainly used to receive foreign guests and provincial leaders, or a small number of cars were purchased by private individuals through special channels, so Zhou Aifu's friend was a big influence. The car stopped and stopped all the way, and the road was being repaired everywhere, and after driving for twenty or thirty minutes, Yang Quan was so sleepy that he had already squinted his eyes, and finally arrived at the door of the hotel.

The doorman opened the car door, and Yang Quan, who had not yet woken up, was not surprised by this kind of service. In my previous life, I had been to many high-end hotels during the supplier's inspection and had become accustomed to these services, but this is the first time in this life.

Getting off the station in front of the revolving glass door of the hotel, Yang Quan looked at Zhou Aifu with his mouth open. 5 star hotel, resplendent with gold. The gold-carved hall is dominated by golden yellow, with a strong Mediterranean atmosphere, and along the way, you can turn your head and see decorations from all over the world.

French bronze, Italian musical fountains, French crystal lamps, and magnificent cloisters, gold leaf decorations, all show noble style from the inside and outside.

"Capitalist luxury...... Old Comrade Zhou, you have fallen!" Lying on the sofa in the room, Yang Quanchang sighed and sighed, who would have thought that a few months ago, Zhou Aifu would sleep with him on the floor in the office of Yangfan Factory with a flat face. In the blink of an eye, it is a high-end hotel, and the shuttle service is carried out.

"Let's take a bath, it's all stinky" Zhou Aifu ignored the words in Yang Quan's mouth and threw a white towel.

"Wait and wash it later, I didn't know what I asked on the phone before, uncle, you tell me the current situation, let me have a number in my heart" Yang Quan threw away the towel, sat up straight and looked at it with a straight face.

Zhou Aifu lit a cigarette and scratched his head, sorted out his vocabulary and thought for a while, and then said: "There are six or seven million dollars, plus your 500,000 yuan, we account for 15% of the shares." Do you know what I'm staying in this hotel for? It's just to get to know people at different levels, and the news is different if this level is different.

Wait a minute, I will take you to meet four other partners, one is the second generation of Jinmenhong, one is a Xiangjiang businessman, one is a foreign trader, and one is the spokesperson of the municipal government in Xiaoxiang Province. Everyone is not a good stubble, so be careful when the time comes. ”

"Everyone doesn't believe in each other, and they use each other's strength to seek common development, I know, uncle, what role do you play in it?" Yang Quan asked, normally Zhou Aifu belongs to a trading company, and joining a team should have his own positioning.

"I don't have much policy information, and everyone has about the same amount of funds, so I don't have much use on my side except for a more active mind and some plans. The three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, and we can only do the specific things after we discuss and agree."

"I understand" Yang Quan thoughtfully picked up the towel and prepared to take a shower, and now he waited for the meeting to know the details of the plan before he knew what to do.

"After washing, rest, meet in the evening and eat together. Zhou Aifu thought about dinner, shouted at Yang Quan, closed the door, and returned to his room.
