Chapter 073 Scrap Production Line
The day after the Asian Tiger Tank project team determined the power system supplier, someone from the Post and Telecommunications Bureau informed Li Lu to borrow a telegram.
Li Lu immediately thought of Jack.
Tang Jiu, Zhang Jianjun and the others had just gone out for a short time, and they wouldn't have come back so quickly. And the only one who agreed to telegraph contact was Jack.
He immediately rushed to the post office.
A deputy section chief on duty at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau received him with a smile on his face and said enthusiastically, "Comrade Li Lu, please come here and take a look at the small conference room." ”
Li Lu wondered very much, this enthusiasm was too much.
He said, "Comrade, do you know me?" ”
"I don't know, I don't know what unit you work in?" The deputy section chief asked with a flattering smile.
Li Lu shook his head and smiled, "A worker of the Guangming Factory." ”
The deputy section chief still had a smile on his face, personally took him to the small conference room, and personally asked people to send the telegram over. At this time, Li Lu knew why the deputy section chief's attitude was like this-the telegram taken by Jack was too long!
There is generally only one explanation for private telegrams taken from the United States - there are relatives in the United States. And the person who can shoot and decode a telegram with more than 1,000 words is undoubtedly very financially powerful. You know, at this time, how much does it cost to shoot such a long telegram from the other side of the Pacific Ocean to China!
If you have relatives who are overseas Chinese, it is not difficult to understand that this deputy section chief has such a good attitude!
The deputy section chief handed over the telegram and said politely, "Comrade Li Lu, feel free to come to me if you need anything." ”
When he went out, he gently brought the door and let Li Lu enjoy the treatment of a leader.
Li Lu hurriedly read the message, it was indeed very long.
The sudden appearance of someone who knows everything about himself in an ancient country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is enough to break all of Jack's psychological defenses.
Li Lu knew the general experience of Jack after immigrating to the United States with his parents, which was not enough to make Jack frightened, even if Li Lu told some details of Jack's career in recent years, Jack could think that Li Lu had any intelligence channels.
However, knowing some details about his hometown of Kiev and even knowing why and how his parents immigrated to the United States is difficult to explain by "having intelligence channels". Some of those details were not even clear to him, so he had no intention of staying at all after returning to New York, and went directly to his parents' house in Michigan, and asked his parents about some details, and the result was exactly the same as what Li Lu said.
Jack felt that he was a transparent person to Li Lu, as if in the process of his growth, Li Lu had been observing as a bystander.
This kind of conclusion almost made him suffer a heart attack at the age of thirty!
In a state of panic, he remembered some words that his old partner Zhang Biao had said, to the effect that the ancient empire of Huaxia had some very mysterious spells that could predict the past or see anyone's past.
Great Wizard!
Jack felt like he was going crazy.
For a moment, he really wanted to leave the business in Asia and quit completely. His so-called mass trading company is a leather bag company, and there is no one else except his brothers, and there are no real assets, and they are just buying and selling as an intermediary business to earn the price difference.
However, when he received a telegram from Mitsui Nohara that a total of thirty Mitsubishi off-road vehicles were already on the way, at this time, he was tempted again, and it was not a wise move to abandon the huge market in the East. Moreover, he and Mitsui Nohara have been working together for two or three years, and finally the situation has opened, how can he be cheap Mitsui's kid.
With the mentality of going out, Jack also began to collect the things on the list given by Li Lu. It is difficult to get a brand new vehicle, so he collects stolen vehicles, second-hand vehicles, and even some dismantled car parts.
The problem is that Li Lu asked him to find a way to get some precision machine tools, which is not something he can easily do.
After a round trip around several industrial-intensive states, Jack had no choice but to return to Dearborn, Michigan, intending to use some of his parents' connections here to collect some more Ford cars and spare parts. As a result, he overheard the news that Ford had two production lines for sale that were ready to be phased out, but there were no sellers and were looking for recyclers.
In the telegram, Jack first explained that precision machine tools were difficult to obtain, and then spent a lot of space convincing Li Lu to accept Ford's two obsolete production lines, and strongly stated that the production line was the best solution to start the production of automobiles. And he also told Li Lu that after the transformation, the two production lines can also produce tractors with simpler mechanisms.
Li Lu was naturally overjoyed, holding the production line, it was simply not too good. At the same time, he was pleased with the fear that Jack had expressed.
However, he was skeptical that Jack would be able to get his hands on the production line.
However, Jack also gave his solution in the telegram - contact a qualified recycler, take over at a price slightly higher than scrap iron, and then install it after it is shipped.
This is clearly the best option at the moment, and the least costly.
Li Lu could feel that Jack was genuinely thinking about him. At the end of the message, Jack asks if he will adopt his plan.
After thinking for a while, Li Lu agreed to Jack's plan in its entirety and immediately went to reply to the telegram. The deputy section chief personally took Li Lu to shoot the telegram, and inquired about his overseas Chinese relatives in a roundabout way, Li Lu coped with it with a smile, patted his ass and left after taking the telegram.
The telegram had been in Jack's hands for a few days, and he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to work. He also wanted to complete the things Li Lu explained as soon as possible, and then go to Huaxia as soon as possible, and carefully ask Li Lu in person if he knew so many details about him. If he doesn't ask clearly, his heart won't be able to let go for a day.
Li Lu commutes to work normally, and goes to the construction site of the Red Star Tractor Factory once a day to take a look, and the situation in Fenyuan Company is getting better and better, but he rarely goes.
On the day of the first half of the night shift, he got up early in the morning and went straight to find Pei Lei, but he met Pei Lei on the way. Pei Lei, who was dressed in a dark blue tunic, with a pen in his left breast pocket, strode over.
Seeing Li Lu, Pei Lei raised the telegram in his hand and said, "Xiao Li, I was about to look for you." ”
Li Lu hurriedly greeted him, "Pei Gong, what's the matter?" ”
"I just received a telegram, Ma Jintao is about to arrive at the dry port, you can pick him up at the train station in a while." Pei Lei handed the message to Li Lu.
The telegram was taken yesterday, and the estimated arrival time mentioned above is around 12 noon today. Li Lu was overjoyed and said with a smile, "After a long time, the horse worker finally came over." ”
"Hey, he, it's not easy." Pei Lei shook his head and sighed, patted Li Lu's shoulder, and said, "Okay, you pick up the person first, and then talk in detail when you go back." ”
Li Lu suddenly thought of the wagon matter, and asked, "Pei Gong, there is a ...... A friend of mine wanted to get some wagons, but he didn't know if it was appropriate to operate in the name of the factory. ”
"Transport wagons?" Pei Lei frowned, looked left and right, pulled Li Lu aside, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Li, I can hear a lot of rumors, are you doing things of buying and selling outside?" ”
"Pei Gong, there's no such thing." Li Lu said, "You know the matter of the Red Star Tractor Factory, it is a private factory approved by the city government, and the leaders of the factory also know that it is a small factory I have built, and you know this thing." ”
"I didn't say the Red Star Tractor Factory, I was talking about the Fenyuan Shopping Mall." Pei Lei said in a low voice, "During this time, Fenyuan Shopping Mall is very lively, and you can buy a TV without a TV ticket." The opinion of the municipal store is not small. ”
Li Lu suddenly smiled and said, "Pei Gong, you can rest assured, Fenyuan Shopping Mall is a shopping mall under Fenyuan Company, Fenyuan Company is a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, and the city government pays close attention to it, and it has nothing to do with buying and selling." ”
"Hong Kong-funded enterprises? Seriously? Pei Lei was skeptical.
"Of course." Li Lu said, "I heard that my sister-in-law works in a municipal store, so I think it is better to let my sister-in-law go to Fenyuan Company to help, and the treatment over there is good." ”
Pei Lei waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "Forget it." Since Fenyuan Company is a key enterprise in the city, you let them contact the Railway Bureau by themselves, and it is estimated that the problem is not big. Okay, I'll go to work. ”
Li Lu didn't say much, he went to the canteen to have breakfast with the singing of the athletes' march played on the radio, called Zhang Weiwei to drive a 212 jeep and went to the city government first, found Secretary Zhou and told him about the situation, Secretary Zhou gave a letter of introduction to Fenyuan Company, and then he went to the train station.
