Chapter 219 Light Passenger Cars

Li Lu can't pin all his hopes on the facelift surgery of the Hiace H40, the technology of the Red Star Hiace H40 is a new technology in Toyota, and the Red Star Factory wants to thoroughly understand these technologies and then develop the facelift, which is not a little bit difficult.

Therefore, he had to seek a second option as a backup.

Two two-storey western-style buildings are built behind the Red Mansion, one on the left and one on the right, which look like the two feet of the Red Mansion from the air, which are also Soviet-style buildings. The two buildings have been leased out, with the American Volkswagen Trading Company and Japan's Mitsui Corporation renting one for $10,000 a month to serve as office space for their inland port offices.

This was originally the residence of their largest partner, the Red Star Import and Export Company, that is to say, the cooperation between them and various transactions can be completed without leaving this garden-style yard covering an area of more than 30 acres. Even so, Li Lu also asked them to find a suitable office space to move out as soon as possible.

Li Lu drove here and went directly to the Mitsui office to find Mitsui Nohara. Unlike Jack, who frequently runs at both ends of the Pacific Ocean, Mitsui Nohara is based on the dry port. Mitsui is Red Star Import-Export's largest partner, offering more than five times as many vehicles as Volkswagen.

Mitsui Nohara saw Li Lu as if he had seen the gold of human nature, his smile was bright, and he hurriedly greeted him, followed by a woman who was about twenty-three or four years old.

"Mr. Lee." Mitsui Nohara stood still in front of Li Lu and bowed ninety-three degrees.

The woman hugged the folder and bowed ninety-three degrees.

Li Lu looked at the woman, wearing a professional short skirt suit, not tall or short, but the clothes that were closed were concave and convex, with two small tiger teeth when she smiled, and the visual impact of the combination of sweet and mature clothing styles was impressive.

Mitsui Nohara saw Li Lu staring at the woman, and introduced with a smile, "Mr. Li, this is Miss Honoka Guzi who has just been transferred from China. ”

"Oh, hello." Li Lu stretched out his hand.

Hoyaka Guzi held Li Lu's hand and bowed again, "Mr. Li, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Now I can even vaguely see the looming inside my chest.

The world is going down.

Li Lu swallowed his saliva, looked away, and said, "Mitsui, go to your office, I have something to tell you." ”

"Okay, Mr. Li, please." Mitsui Nohara hurriedly said, "Miss Guzi should also go with you, in the future, you will have to contact Mr. Li often, and it is good to be familiar with it." ”

Li Lu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it first, I'll talk about it later." ”

After saying that, he walked inside.

Mitsui Nohara nodded to Honoka Taniko and hurriedly followed.

Hooka Guzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought, if it was this Chinese man, it would be not bad.

Entering Mitsui Nohara's office, Li Lu said, "Mitsui, how did you do what you were asked to do before?" ”

Mitsui Nohara shook his head helplessly and said, "There hasn't been much progress yet, but there is no problem with some vehicles." Second-hand is, of course, the most. I don't know if you are interested, Mr. Li? ”

"Yes, I want as much as you want, but I won't give you a high price for the price." Li Ludao.

Mitsui Nohara smiled slightly awkwardly and nodded, "Understood." The quality of Kosda buses is very good, which you can rest assured of Mr. Li. ”

"Mitsubishi's Pajero model brake system is defective, have you taken advantage of this?" Li Lu asked.

The Pajero brake door incident didn't break out until the early nineties, but the car was the same car, and the fact that it hadn't changed meant that the problem had always existed. The road conditions in China, especially in the northwest region, often have accidents such as brake failure in the Pajero's braking system, resulting in a lot of casualties.

The fundamental reason why the brake gate has not exploded is that there are not many Pajero running in the northwest today. The area where the largest number of Karamay oil fields are located is also flat. However, it is absolutely certain that as the Red Star Tractor Factory has remodeled Pajero and is sold all over the world, the defects in this area will be exposed more and more quickly.

The Red Star Tractor Plant does not yet have the ability to solve this shortcoming.

Mitsui Nohara shook his head and said, "They didn't admit that there was a problem with the brake system at all, and in turn threatened us to sue us for slander." Mr. Lee, how did you determine that Mitsubishi's braking system was defective? Without ample evidence to prove this, Mitsubishi will not bow its head. ”

"I don't have proof yet." Li Lu nodded slowly, "It's okay if you don't admit it, if you look for them in the future, what I submit may be the complaint materials." ”

Mitsui Nohara touched his nose, and said secretly in his heart, it's very good if people don't sue you for infringement, do you look at your red star Pajero, and Mitsubishi Pajero have changed even one percent, except for the car logo and vehicle identification code.

Sitting down and lighting a cigarette, Li Lu fell into deep thought. Mitsui Nohara hurriedly brewed a cup of tea, sat down on the chair diagonally opposite, and put his hands on his knees with his waist straight.

Toyota began developing light buses in 1963 and launched the first generation of light buses in 1969, which was also named COASTER, which translates to Kosda. Thirty years later, Kosda's fame is beyond words, and it is the vehicle with the most news broadcasts. And the situation that the supply is still in short supply after 20 years of no facelift fully illustrates the magic of this car.

However, now this car has not yet entered China.

Li Lu had been working on this idea for a long time, and he wanted to obtain the manufacturing technology of the first generation of Kosda and a full set of technical drawings. Mitsui has a deep background in the Japanese underworld, and he thought that as long as enough money was in place, Mitsui should bring him good news, but the result was disappointing.

If you can't get the technology, you can only retreat to the secondary vehicle. Toyota is working on the second-generation Kosda, which will be launched in 1982 a few months later, and now there are a large number of second-hand Kosda on the market, and Toyota should also have some inventory.

If you want to run a passenger transport company, where is there a shortage of buses. The addition of Kosda Bus will bring a leap forward to the passenger level of Yangcheng Second Transportation Company. The domestic automobile factories that are good at reverse research must also be very eager to obtain a few buses for research.

These are secondly, as long as Li Lu can get enough buses, the Yangcheng government will definitely look at him with admiration, even if he doesn't look at the Red Star Tractor Factory, he will also regard the Red Star Tractor Factory as a relatively equal opponent with Hong Kong and foreign capital.

Li Lu looked at Mitsui Nohara and said, "Mitsui, after the Spring Festival, I plan to expand the scope of cooperation with Mitsui Company, import and export trade is no longer limited to industrial machinery, raw material supply, but also consider involved, of course, textile products will continue to expand and increase supply." ”

Mitsui Nohara was slightly stunned and said, "Mr. Li, the crude oil that our Mitsui Company is most interested in. I know you have a good relationship with the oil fields in the northwest, if you can make this happen......"

"You're going to give me a full set of technical drawings for Kosda, aren't you?" Li Lu interrupted him and squinted his eyes.

"This ......," Mitsui Nohara mused, "I can't promise you anything. However, if you can make it happen, we will be rewarded handsomely. ”

Li Lu shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's talk about this, since you want to get involved in crude oil imports, you must have learned about the relevant situation, and it is not easy to do." Mitsui, you better find a way to get me the drawings, and I'll give you a lot of rewards. ”

Mitsui Nohara was speechless, and could only say helplessly, "Mr. Li, I can only say do my best." ”

"Kosda bus, when can it arrive at the shore at the earliest?" Li Lu asked.

Mitsui Nohara thought for a moment and said, "Three months." ”

"Can you hurry up?" Li Lu asked.

Mitsui Nohara said, "How do you think about fighting for two months?" ”

"It's best to do it within two months."
