Among the four Asian tigers, South Korea, Taiwan Province, Hong Kong City, and Singapore, Singapore has a relatively slow start.

Since 1970, the economies of all four places, with the exception of Singapore, have shown strong economic momentum. Taking advantage of the opportunity of transferring labor-intensive industries from developed countries in the West to developing countries, these regions, which are dominated by agriculture and light industry, have attracted a large amount of capital and technology, and have taken advantage of the local cheap and high-quality labor force to readjust their economic development strategies and develop rapidly.

Each of the four places has its own differences. But their GDP is growing at an appalling 10 percent a year.

If the expansion of business in Thailand is to lay the foundation for the next step of arms sales in advance, then the development of the Singapore market is obviously to catch this high-speed express train of economic development and improve its own strength.

There are deeper reasons for Li Lu's decision to settle in Singapore, and it's not just economical – he has never had much affection for the banana people, who control the Straits of Malacca, an important shipping chokepoint.

Singapore is not the developed country it will be twenty or thirty years later, it has just been kicked out by the Malays for a few years and established independently, the local situation is chaotic, and the economic level is very backward.

As Chen Junning reported, at this time, Singapore's domestic security was in shambles, all kinds of gangs and underworld forces were rampant, and the people were complaining bitterly. However, this situation will soon be resolved, because they have a leader who is still wise and has the means to do it.

Coincidentally, that person was also surnamed Li, which made Li Lu feel ashamed - Li Lu did not feel proud of such a person in the Li group, but ashamed.

Objectively speaking, he is great for the people of Singapore.

Putting away these thoughts, Li Lu asked, "Where is Uncle Nine now?" ”

Chen Junning was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied, "Before I returned to China, Uncle Nine set off for Singapore. When the eldest brother of Jianjun encountered difficulties, he said that he would go over to solve them in person. ”

Jianjun's eldest brother is Zhang Jianjun, the butcher who became a road tyrant with a few veterans, and now he is Li Lu's right-hand man overseas, except for Tang Jiu, he has the highest status. Let Zhang Jianjun personally go over to take charge of the Singapore market, undoubtedly out of this consideration.

In the final analysis, Tang Jiu asked Chen Junning to return to China to report two things, Li Pingchun wanted to buy equipment, and the Thai company wanted to import cars, these things didn't need Li Lu's approval at all, Tang Jiu could get an idea. Obviously, when he knew that Tang Jiu had gone to Singapore, Li Lu immediately understood Tang Jiu's true purpose - regarding the differences in the Singapore market, Li Lu needed to come up with a clear instruction.

Obviously, Chen Junning didn't know that the focus of Tang Jiu's sending him back to China to report was actually the most minor matter on the surface.

Tang Jiu has always been meticulous, and when it comes to internal disagreements, he will always handle them very carefully to avoid any unexpected situations that may occur.

This made Li Lu more at ease with overseas affairs.

Li Lu said, "Focus on developing the Singapore market. Before you go out, come to me and I'll give you a detailed guidance plan. ”

"Understood!" Chen Junning nodded.

"One more thing." Li Lu hesitated and said, "Some time ago, your sister came over to tell you that the family had found a partner for you......"

Chen Junning was stupid all of a sudden, "What? ”

"Hehe, you're not too young, just right, go back and see, if you can solve it, it's solved." Li Lu said with a smile.

Chen Junning's face turned red suddenly, he has only been working for more than two years, a twenty-four or five-year-old young man, if it were not for the fait accompli caused by this accident, he might have considered it, but now that the situation is all over the world, and his life is in danger at any time, how can he not consider personal problems now.

"Okay, let's go back, just go home with your sister for the New Year." Li Lu took out a key from the drawer, threw it over, and said, "The silver-gray off-road vehicle outside, with a foreign affairs license plate, you drive back." ”

Hanging a foreign affairs license can save a lot of trouble, especially for "missing persons" like Chen Junning, which is especially important.

Both the Red Star Factory and the Red Star Defense Company have a lot of foreign car licenses, which is also a privilege granted by the relevant departments in order to facilitate their international trade. Of course, a foreign affairs license and a consular license are not the same.

After Chen Junning left, Jack came in quickly, and he had been waiting outside.

"Boss." As soon as Jack entered, he greeted with a smile on his face.

Li Lu just lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said with a smile, "How are you doing, Jack, I see that you are in good spirits and have a very good career, right?" ”

"Thanks to the strong support and accurate judgment of the boss, the boss has finally lived up to the trust, I have reached a cooperation agreement with the Finnish Mobiro communication company, and everything is going according to plan." Jack immediately reported the best news, and as he sat down, he said, "Mobiro Communications is willing to cooperate with a Huaxia company to jointly develop the communication market in Huaxia." Of course, this is first and foremost through Volkswagen International Trading. ”

"That's really good news." Li Lu nodded with satisfaction.

Li Lu doesn't buy much Motorola's account, in addition to the choice of West German Siemens, he has another more suitable partner, which is Finland's Mobiro Communications Company. He did not expect much development in the civilian communications market, but the status of military communications in this field was too important for this major general intelligence officer, who had nearly 30 years of intelligence experience in another life.

The importance he attaches to the little-known Ye Bintong is a manifestation of the importance he attaches to the field of military communications.

Of course, Li Lu covets the military digital communication technology developed by Motorola, but they are unlikely to come up with the core technology, but Finnish companies are different, they have no scruples and worries, and there are almost no restrictions.

The technical strength of Mobiro Communications is definitely no worse than that of Motorola. They have just developed the first generation of mobile communication equipment, which is mainly used for the heavy 20-pound "mobile phone" in the car. At this point, they were in a period of lack of more money, so when Jack came to them waving a check from New York, the deal was almost pleasant, and there was not much bargaining.

"When will the first batch of finished products arrive?" Li Lu asked.

At the moment, that's what he's concerned about.

Jack said, "Three months. ”

Li Lu shook his head, "Don't ship by sea, take air transportation, and in addition, speed up the establishment of a joint venture factory in the dry port." ”

"Boss, these are all right, but I am very puzzled by this, in fact, we don't need to buy these time, you also know, Huaxia currently has almost no basis for wireless communication." Jack said.

If you want those 20-pound "mobile phones", isn't it to engage in portable wireless communication networks?

Li Lu shook his head and said, "The first mass-produced model of the Red Star Factory was launched on New Year's Day, and I have to rush to get those communication equipment before the next batch of new cars leave the factory." ”

"What are you ......," Jack didn't understand what Li Lu meant.

"Equipped with in-vehicle communication equipment." Li Ludao.

At this moment, Jack understood, isn't this exactly what American auto factories like to do?

How does the Red Star BMW X1 differentiate itself from the soon-to-be-launched Santana? Obviously, Li Lu asked for SKD Mercedes-Benz's 190 car, and it was absolutely too late within a year. Therefore, before the launch of the 190 sedan, it was mainly relying on the Red Star BMW X1 small SUV to launch some threatening attacks on Santana.

Equipping every car with a car wireless phone is the biggest highlight - it is said to be a car wireless phone, but it is actually a high-power walkie-talkie, because there is no network system support.

It is conceivable that when it is carried in the car, it is possible to ignore the weight of the "mobile phone", and it weighs dozens of pounds, so it solves the biggest problem - inconvenient carrying.

Of course, if you want to fully exploit the functions of the first generation of mobile phones from Mobiro Communications, you will need to build a network of base stations and switching centers. Finland has built the world's first telephone service network system, which means that the first generation of mobile communication technology has been put into commercial use. Li Lu wants to do this, and there will be more investment in the future.

The Red Star BMW X1, which is equipped with an on-board mobile phone, will be aimed at the official car market. After having Santana's incomparable mobile communication advantages, at least Li Lu is sure that the party, government, and military organs and units that need frequent contact will definitely turn to purchase the Red Star BMW X1 as an official car.

They have few options.

Originally, Motorola would have been an alternative, but now it seems that this alternative is not an option, unless they are willing to provide some military-standard in-vehicle communication systems.

"Boss?" Jack softly woke up the contemplative Li Lu.

Li Lu nodded, pointed at him, and said, "Well, you can start reporting." ”

Relatively speaking, Volkswagen International Trading Co., Ltd.'s side of the matter is relatively simple, in addition to the Red Star factory all over the world to collect machinery and equipment, mainly imported cars, is to do some investment things. Because of this, Li Lu is ready to give Jack a new mission.

The square agreement is about to be signed, and it is impossible for Li Lu not to intervene in a piece of meat to eat.

After talking for more than two hours, when Jack came out of Li Lu's office, Zhang Weiwei outside found that Jack's expression was very solemn. Jack greeted Zhang Weiwei hastily, and then walked straight away. Unbeknownst to anyone, he did not stop at the dry port at all, and flew to Hong Kong on a newly opened flight, and then flew back to the United States.

Of course, Li Lu didn't say it, Zhang Weiwei would never ask, especially when he knew that the secrecy of what Jack did was relatively high.

Li Lu walked out of the office, stretched his waist, took a deep breath, and said, "Lao Zhang, let's go, you still have time to participate in the New Year's Day activities, let's go home in the afternoon and rest for a few days." ”

For him, the last thing of 1981 has been done, and he is in a very happy mood.

The two walked to the side of the workshop, and the down-to-earth New Year's Day celebration was held in the hard-bottomed playground in front of the workshop......
