Chapter 1769: Just make an advertisement
Of course, Lin Hongfei will not let go of this opportunity to limit Japanese cars to become bigger and stronger in the Republic's automobile market, not only because of how much wool has been sheared from the Republic due to the rise in iron ore prices in the next few years, but also because Lin Hongfei was too impressed by the fact that the cars sold in Japan in Japan in later generations were not equipped with rear anti-collision steel beams.
Although the documents issued by the state do not have mandatory provisions to install rear anti-collision steel beams, but when the subsidized enterprises and most of the joint ventures have installed the rear anti-collision steel beams on their own production of cars, Japanese cars have drilled the air, and the cars above the intermediate level basically have rear anti-collision steel beams, and most of the cars below the compact do not have rear anti-collision steel beams, and the beautiful name is called: energy absorption!
Because of the emergence of Guqi Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., although Japanese cars have entered the country for several years, but in terms of market share has been poor, sales have not opened, in terms of quality control is not bad, I hope to be able to use "high quality and low price" this impact market, but Lin Hongfei knows too well the virtue of these Japanese, as long as they can control the market stably, they will definitely try to cut costs in the future.
Lin Hongfei has no opinion on reducing production costs, but if production costs are reduced by reducing product quality, it is definitely not allowed by Lin Hongfei.
With such a layer of thought, the meeting between Fukui Wai and Lin Hongfei ended unhappily.
…………………………………………
"Yaga! I don't know what to do! ”
Hearing Fukui Waifu say that Lin Hongfei wanted to meddle in Japan's layout in the iron ore industry, Shoichiro Toyoda slapped his palm heavily on the chair, and his face was angry.
Not only Shoichiro Toyoda, but also several other people in the room looked good, and Japan's automobile manufacturers and steel smelters were born from the same roots and supported each other, such as the intimacy of the cooperation between Mitsubishi Motors and Aisin Transmission. If you want to buy an automatic transmission from Aisin, you must match the engine of Mitsubishi, and conversely, if you want to equip the Mitsubishi engine you buy with an automatic transmission, you can only choose Aisin's, and it is like wearing a pair of pants between several companies.
"It's really excessive," Fukui's expression calmed down a lot, but even so, his face was also angry, "but the more this happens, the more it shows that we are doing the right thing." In that case, we should stick to it. ”
"Yes, we at Nippon Steel think so too."
Nippon Steel President Masaji Munaoka lowered his head heavily, and his face was hideous, "With the continuous efforts of all these years. We have become a shareholder of the iron ore companies in the world, led by Vale, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and control 30% of the iron ore production in the world. It also has an influence on more than 70% of the iron ore production in the world. ”
"According to our analysis. The Republic's economic growth rate will likely remain above 8% in the next 10 years, which is a very frightening figure, and if they can maintain this economic growth rate, they may even surpass the empire in 10 years to become the second largest economic power in the world after the United States. ”
As soon as Shoji Zongoka's words came out, the faces of several old devils in the room instantly became extremely ugly.
Naturally, they already knew this data. It is absolutely unacceptable shame for the Japanese, who have been oppressing the Republic for more than a century, and even a few years ago they were asking Japan to invest. It's just unbearable!
The current plan to block the republic's access to iron ore sources is certainly due to the overseas methods of Japanese companies, which have been deeply aware of the dangers of the Republic over the years. But another reason is that Japan is afraid, they are really afraid, with Japan's bullying of the Republic in the past 100 years, they simply dare not imagine how they will get this account back if the Chinese surpass Japan.
More trouble is still to come, the Chinese are not like Japan after 10 years of development, looking at their signs, it seems that they have no intention of stopping at all, a republic that does not plan to stop, full of hostility to Japan, is what scares Japan the most.
"So, no matter how difficult the situation is, we must persevere," Wai Fukui, who was kneeling on the tatami mat, leaned forward slightly, bowing his head to a few people, "This time, it is not only a crisis for the imperial automobile industry, but also related to the future national fortune of the empire, and I hope that you will work together." ”
Several old devils glanced at each other and nodded heavily together.

"I really didn't expect it, in just a few years, we are already about to become the largest importer of iron ore in the world." Dongfang Zheng is very emotional, think about 10 years ago in 1993, our country's total iron ore imports were only 33 million tons, in 1995 it reached 41.2 million tons, by 99 this figure reached 55 million tons, and last year, our iron ore imports almost exceeded 200 million tons.
What does this mean? This shows that our country's economy is developing at a speed that is unimaginable to the world, and who would dare to think that our country's economic strength can become the top five in the world 10 years ago? But now, we are already in the top five in the world...... Well, we're still a developing country.
"yes, who would have thought 10 years ago?" Lin Hongfei smiled and nodded, "But our development is a good thing and a bad thing, look at it, our development has already made everyone feel afraid." ”
"That's because they have a ghost in their hearts! I've done something I'm sorry for us before! Dongfang was slamming the table heavily, his eyebrows raised high, "If it weren't for the ghosts in their hearts, what were they afraid of?" ”
Dongfang Zheng is very right in saying this, what kind of countries are those countries who are talking about how the republic is not good? Almost all of them are countries that have bullied the republic and are sorry for the republic, and now that they see the development of the republic, they are naturally weak-minded, and they are afraid that the republican will come to them again to settle accounts, so they desperately say bad things about the republic, as if they can cheer themselves up in this way. But these guys have all forgotten, the mouth cannon is useless, you say that the mouth cannon for ten years is not as reasonable as the fist, no matter what time it is, the fist is the last word, this will never be wrong.
Seeing Lin Hongfei smiling there, Dongfang Zheng was also slightly embarrassed, he was also one of the main leaders of the country, why was he still as energetic as Xiao Young? resisted the urge to kick Lin Hongfei. glared at him fiercely, "By the way, the navy doesn't look at your strong-6 as ordinarily heavy, how about it, are you sure?" ”
"It's not a big problem. Theoretically, there is no problem, and the flight envelope of the strong-6 can also do this. The rest depends on the level of the pilot. Lin Hongfei nodded.
The navy is not looking at the strong-6 as ordinary. In their opinion, the ship, which was temporarily used as a multifunctional amphibious assault ship, would inevitably appear as an aircraft carrier in the future, and since the Varyag was called the first large aircraft carrier of the republic, it became a must-do for the Navy to train as many pilots as possible before the Varyag aircraft carrier entered service, as well as commanders of all levels of the fleet.
The navy is not only kicking the ass of CSIC, hoping that they can build the ship quickly, but also keeps kicking the ass of AVIC No. 1 Group: the navy is still waiting for their heavy aircraft carrier aircraft to come out. The Qiang-6 can make do in the early stage, but as an ideal and ambitious navy, the Qiang-6 is okay for amphibious operations and inferior operations, and fights with heavy aircraft carriers? This is not the work that the strong-6 can do.
Of course. The Qiang-6 is still qualified for use as a training aircraft for carrier-based aircraft pilots.
Since Lin Hongfei said that he was sure, then Dongfang Zheng believed that he was really sure, and breathed a sigh of relief, Dongfang Zheng said again, "Your idea of a large multi-functional amphibious assault ship is very good, but you should put more thought into the power system and do more tests." In one, the Zhi-13 project must also speed up the progress, Zhilu said that you have a lot of difficulties, but no matter how many difficulties, this project must also be accelerated, and the Zhi-13 is of great significance to us. ”
Z-9X is okay, but just like Dongfang is saying, Z-6 medium general multi-purpose helicopter and Z-13 heavy helicopter for the use of the republic is really too big, before the country did not pay much attention to the helicopter, but with the development of the times, helicopters have shown strong vitality in special military use and civilian aspects, for the republic, the development of medium and heavy helicopters with their own intellectual property rights has become imminent, these two aircraft do not hurry out, It's already going to affect the development of the country.
Lin Hongfei nodded heavily, "Dad, don't worry, the Z-6 can be equipped with the army after about a year of flight tests, as for the Z-13, now the problem of the engine and the final reducer has been solved, and now the manufacture of the prototype has begun, if it is not for the simultaneous development of the Z-13X, maybe the Z-13 has made its first flight." ”
Hearing Lin Hongfei say this, Dongfang Zheng nodded.
After all, he is not the leader in charge of the army, because he cares about the development of national defense, it is okay to ask a little, but it is not appropriate to ask too much, in fact, if it were not for Lin Hongfei's relationship, he would have asked a little too much.
Realizing this, Dongfang Zheng immediately changed the topic, "Iron ore, you have to think more about it, the Japanese have been moving in Brazil and Australia recently, in my opinion, they are probably making a bad move, the price of iron ore is directly related to the development of the country's economy, you kid must not be sloppy." ”
How dare I be sloppy about this kind of thing? Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly and nodded.
————————————————————————
As the war in Afghanistan continues to deepen, the losses of the U.S. military on the battlefield in Afghanistan are also getting bigger and bigger, especially the rudimentary roadside bombs, which give the U.S. military a headache, since the beginning of the Afghan war, this rudimentary thing has brought more than 1,000 casualties to the U.S. military, after analysis, the U.S. military believes that the reason why there is such a heavy casualty ratio, one of the important reasons is that the U.S. military is equipped with HMMWV military vehicles that are too weak in bulletproof and explosive resistance.
Although the U.S. military has now developed a variety of models of external armor on the basis of HMMWV to protect the U.S. GIs in the HMMWV military vehicle, the effect is not ideal, and the more serious casualties have made the U.S. generals and the White House scratch their heads, and the U.S. military in Afghanistan has shown an extremely bad sign: even if there are tanks behind the protection, they are not willing to go out to patrol, according to the U.S. military in Afghanistan. Sitting in the HMMWV is no different from lying in a coffin, and every time you go out on patrol in the HMMWV military vehicle, you have to look at the face of death.
The current US military urgently needs a special light battlefield armored vehicle with good self-protection and firepower to replace the HMMWV.
But when the U.S. military searched their arsenal, they were embarrassed by a scene: they didn't even have such equipment.
The US military is proud, at least the Pentagon generals and the bureaucrats in the White House are proud, as the world's first army to achieve "global arrival", they look down on the armies of other countries, since they do not have it in their hands for the time being, then modify it on the basis of the existing 4 * 4 military light off-road transporter!
The idea is good. But the reality is joyful, and when the first modified anti-mine multi-role combat operation vehicles were sent to the battlefield in Afghanistan for practical testing, American GIs found out...... Depend on! This cargo is too heavy!
Yes, it's too heavy for these damn cars to drive effectively in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan. The body was too wide for these damn cars to pass through the narrow Afghan area, and I couldn't even walk on a donkey...... Well, let's call it the road.
What to do? Facing the American GIs and front-line commanders who were almost jumping in front of them. The bigwigs of the White House, as well as the generals of the Pentagon, had to bow their precious heads. It was announced that a global bidding campaign would be held for military vehicle manufacturers from all over the world.
……………………
"So we're bidding?" When it was determined that "military vehicle manufacturers around the world" could bid, and the Pentagon did not come up with a "blacklist", Comrade Lao Luo was excited, "Boss, if we can sell our military vehicles to the Americans, we will send them!" ”
"I know it." Lin Hongfei nodded, but he was a little cautious about Comrade Lao Luo's optimism, "I have no doubt that our car can live well in Afghanistan, but even if our car is good." Do you think the Americans will pull down this face and buy from us? Or do you think we can sell pickup trucks that sell well in Africa to Americans? ”
Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s pickup truck sells very well in Africa, the more war-torn areas sell better, Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s pickup truck is not only extremely strong, reliable, can withstand violent impact and impact, especially rare is not much maintenance, once some bastards used more than 100,000 kilometers do not remember to change the oil and three filters, but even so, the car is still alive in the hands of those militants scurrying around, in addition, the engine is not picky, No matter how inferior diesel is, it is still used.
What's more rare is that the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Africa are very aware of customer service, all to the needs of customers as the criterion, the pickup truck exported to Africa is reserved for the installation of light and heavy machine guns and rocket artillery mounts when produced in China, and the major warlords can directly buy the corresponding brackets from the sellers in Africa, as long as the machine gun or rocket launcher is put on the top, an armed pickup truck will be newly baked.
With so many advantages, how can the pickup of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. not be popular?
Less than three years after the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s pickup truck entered Africa, there was almost no shadow of the Japanese pickup truck, and even the scene can often be seen at dealers: two groups of people from the armed group who are fighting each other for turf and fighting to the death sit together and talk and laugh, exchange experiences with each other, and make some kind of modification to the car at the dealer's demand......
But is it good to sell armed pickups to poor buddies in Africa, but to American GIs in Afghanistan? The delicate American GIs even think that the armored HMMWV military vehicle is a living coffin, and they can accept such "unrestrained" weapons and equipment as an armed pickup truck that does not even have a piece of protective iron?
But for Lin Hongfei's unoptimism, Rostock obviously didn't see it that way, he shook his head again and again, "No, no, no, Lin, you shouldn't look at it like that, you should think like this, no matter whether the Americans purchase our equipment or not, for us, this is an excellent advertising opportunity, as long as we go, it will be influential, even if it doesn't work out in the end, we can explain it for all kinds of reasons...... With this opportunity, we don't have to always sell these things to Africa, and those Africans really don't have much money. ”
Of course, Lin Hongfei knew that Africans had no money, and he didn't plan that African buddies would be able to give him an international currency or a hard currency: gold.
But Lin Hongfei doesn't value this, he values what is under the African land: don't look at Africans are very poor, but the resources under the feet of Africans are really rich! Over the years, relying on the way of barter, Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has made a lot of good things in Africa.
"What you said makes sense...... Lin Hongfei pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "It's good to do an advertisement." (To be continued......)
