A week later, the contract and confidentiality agreement between the two parties were finally signed, and the next step was to form a material research team to conduct a formal study of the predictions and data analysis.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, in this era, this matter can be done in such a short time, and Zhang Lan doesn't know if it can be regarded as creating a new record.

After the contract was signed, Zhang Lan followed the company's returnees back to Shandong to continue to be a good student of himself, while Zhang Zongjun rushed to Beijing non-stop to continue his public relations work, in order to promote the completion of the cooperation between the two units to set up a research institute engaged in engine material research and manufacturing technology as soon as possible.

Zhang Lan was too lazy to care about this, and put forward her own ideas, whether she could solve it was a matter of her father's own ability, she couldn't let a little kid like herself do such a thing, right? And will anyone believe it if you do it yourself? I don't know if I'll be kicked out by the ears as a mischievous child.

But I didn't expect the good news to continue to come back from Beijing, this year's Alice motorcycle company situation others don't know how, but has been on this matter to maintain a high degree of attention to some national institutions are still very clear, in just three quarters, it was able to produce and sell nearly 540,000 motorcycles, sales exceeded 7 billion, is expected to be able to exceed 700,000 this year, sales exceeded 9 billion!

This brilliant data made all the people stunned, before this, no one could have imagined that a company with an investment of less than 100 million could do this in such a short period of time, the speed of rise can no longer be described by rockets, and the speed of almost demonic speed makes everyone's scalp tingle.

Regarding Zhang Zongjun's request to jointly establish a research institute engaged in engine application materials and manufacturing process research with the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, everyone is a little unsure of what to do, whether to continue to support the company as before or take some restrictive measures? If the other party is just a private company or a state-owned enterprise, the most tricky thing is that this is a Sino-US joint venture company, which makes everyone feel like a tiger eating a hedgehog and has no way to eat.

Although they don't want to admit it, everyone knows that the United States is indeed far ahead of China in terms of materials science. Now this is the time. According to conservative estimates, the United States is at least 15 years ahead of China in research on cutting-edge materials.

Eventually, this thorny and almost strange matter was poked to the First Chief, who said a word. "I think Alice is doing a good job now, making a great contribution to the economic development of our country, and also playing a great role in promoting and stimulating the local economic development."

It's done, it's just that with the words of the No. 1 chief, everyone knows what to do next.

Thereupon. In December, Alice (China) Motorcycle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. signed an agreement with the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to purchase relevant technology patents. Subsequently, the establishment of a research institute for engine materials and manufacturing processes between the two companies was put on the agenda, and a negotiation team was formed between the two companies to begin a new round of negotiations on this cooperation.

Zhang Lan always felt that the name of this engine material and production technology research institute was too long and difficult to remember, so he suggested that he was an old man and directly renamed it Alice Engine Research Institute. Now that I have changed it like this, I suddenly feel that it is much more pleasant, I thought about it, nodded and settled on it.

Time passed day by day, the Iraq War started as scheduled as in history, and the inertia of historical development has not been affected by Zhang Lan, a fish that has slipped through the net of history, and there has been no change in the wind, which has not been so far-reaching.

Well, it can't be said that it has no impact at all, but a mysterious international investment almost disrupted the plans of the American consortium to make a fortune. This mysterious team waved its sleeves in the international crude oil futures market and happily swept away five billion US dollars. The $5 billion swept away is not much, but the ability of this mysterious floating capital to grasp the trend of international oil futures with almost predictive accuracy has made these big conglomerates who control the direction of the US government in the Iraq war feel overwhelmed: how can this floating capital know all the arrangements of the government when it is clear that it is himself and others who have instructed the government to make decisions?

I don't figure it out. Let these international financial predators feel uncomfortable. After many inquiries, it was finally figured out that this tour capital was actually made by Alice Group using hedging!

How is this group again? All the predators looked at each other.

Zhang Lan can't manage so much, and now there is another thing that makes him feel very headache: it took a lot of effort for his company to organize such a large amount of money to go abroad, but this time such a large-scale inflow of foreign capital, it took so much fucking effort.

As agreed beforehand. The income generated by the funds invested by Alice Motorcycle Company will flow back into Alice's account, and 200 million US dollars will suddenly flow in, but the domestic foreign exchange regulatory department will be shocked.

Not only the foreign exchange regulatory department, but even Zhang Zongjun was taken aback: how could the money he invested have increased nearly fivefold in less than four months? Playing with futures, this money is too easy to come by, right? Fortunately, although the old man was happy to have money, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could make money by playing futures, and knew that this time he could make a lot of money thanks to the great US government, which ate meat in Iraq, and he himself stole two mouthfuls of meat to eat, which was much better than those guys who couldn't even drink soup when they saw others eating meat. The opportunity to make war money in this way is not available every year, and the opportunity to make a lot of money in this way is not every year.

How should this amount of money be spent? Zhang Zongjun began to worry, more than 200 million US dollars, equivalent to nearly 20 billion yuan, can be deposited in the bank with interest of several billion a year, the inflation in the past two years is very high, even with the interest rate of the bank is very high, the annual interest rate of more than 10 percent is still very attractive.

Alice gave an idea, why do you have money in the bank, spend it! Didn't we not do much action because we didn't have money a while ago, and all kinds of ideas could only stay on paper because of the problem of funds. Now that you have money, then work hard to carry out research on engine materials, no good research equipment, the most advanced equipment of the Institute of Metals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhang Zongjun and have no extravagant hope to be able to use it for himself, now that he has money, then buy it!

But at this moment, Zhang Zongjun was stunned to find that he wanted to buy it, waving banknotes and shouting, but no one was willing to sell it yet! It was at this time that Zhang Zongjun remembered that because of the incident last summer, the entire developed countries in Europe and the United States are carrying out an economic blockade against China.

The country is still too weak! Zhang Zongjun sighed, if our country is strong, how can it be like now, others can bully if they want to?!

Zhang Lan smiled secretly, European and American countries don't sell it, but now there are still people worried about how to sell things for money? As long as you give money, you can't wait to sell your country's decades of hard work as scrap metal, and think that there is nothing to worry about. Although the equipment is relatively poor, it is only compared to the top equipment in developed countries, and the high-tech content of the equipment for material research is not as high as that of computer chips, and the things obtained are enough.

At that time, it is likely that it will not only be the equipment, but also the equipment and the people!

At this moment, Alice from the United States called Zhang Lan, and from the voice coming out of the phone, you could hear that this girl was very happy, what was the good thing that made you happy and began to sing like a lark? Zhang Lan muttered in her heart.

"Guess what?" In the TV modified by Xiao Chenxi, Alice lied to Zhang Lan, "Guess what it won't be!" ”

"Is it because you make more money from the oil futures market?" Zhang Lan tentatively guessed one.

"No," Alice was a little dissatisfied, "well, I'll be kind enough to give you a hint that this matter is still relevant to you." ”

Doesn't that mean you didn't say it? You have nothing to do with me? Zhang Lan pursed her lips and slandered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, she didn't even dare to have a dissatisfied expression, so she had to rack her brains to think about it.

"Could it be that we say," Zhang Lan asked cautiously and uncertainly, "Could it be that there is news from our ABS+EBD?" ”

"That's right, but unfortunately there is no prize." Alice's happy smile on the TV was like a flower, "I just received a call today, Ford has ended the inspection of our products, and we are very satisfied with the quality and effect of our products, so we decided to fully purchase our company's ABS+EBD products, with a unit price of 3,000 US dollars and a set of 5,000 US dollars in the first batch of purchases. ”

"Really?" This was really an unexpected joy, Zhang Lan didn't expect the news to come so soon, "That, in order to reward you, you came to our house for the New Year, right?" What do you think? ”

In the modified TV, Alice didn't speak, but tears flowed down her petal-like face. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
