More than a dozen wagons carrying more than 30 Red Star BMW X1 and Li Yaohua embarked on the road to the provincial capital, and the first self-developed production car of the Red Star Factory will be grandly launched on New Year's Day, which is bound to greatly stir up the automobile market.

I have to admit that if it weren't for the support of Japan's Mitsui Company and the American Volkswagen Trading Company, Li Lu would have no way to push the price of BMW X1 to a mere 30,000 yuan.

Compared with Japan's Mitsui Corporation, which is very independent, the American Volkswagen Trading Company has become a subsidiary of Li Lu's full control.

When Jack arrived at the dry port via Singapore, there was one more person by his side, Chen Junning.

In the office of the Red Star Factory, Li Lu met them.

On behalf of Tang Jiu, Chen Junning returned to China to report to Li Lu on the overseas situation, mainly the business development in Southeast Asia. For now, there's only one business in Southeast Asia – more than 100 CA10 trucks have been dumped.

First of all, when I saw Jack, he was no longer what he used to be, with a confident and slightly arrogant smile on his face, but when he saw Li Lu, these expressions were all gone.

Volkswagen Trading and Mitsui are not the same level of business, the latter being a genuine, medium-sized, entity-related trading company, while the former was previously a similar leather bag company with a few employees.

The situation is now very different, Volkswagen Trading has become Volkswagen International Trading with more than 100 employees, and a subsidiary in Switzerland for European operations has been established. The most important thing is that the current Volkswagen International Trading Company has almost become a purchasing company dedicated to the Red Star Factory, sourcing the products needed from all over the world and exporting them to China.

In just one month, Jack earned his first $100,000, and by the time he reached a purchase deal with Mobiro Communications in Finland, he was already a millionaire.

All of this was brought about by the young Chinese man in front of him, and the horror in Jack's heart finally disappeared because of the growth of wealth - although he still didn't understand how Li Lu knew so much about his history, especially his family situation, you must know that those things are only known to his family, and even if the FBI doesn't spend some time investigating, it definitely can't grasp that much detail.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and Jack knows that the most important festival in Chinese tradition is the Spring Festival. From large countries to small individuals, at this time, they will summarize the work and life of the past year. Therefore, he decisively postponed his plan to go to Sweden, transferred to Singapore, and then returned to the dry port with Chen Junning over there to report to work.

Chen Junning of Li Lu's seer.

The new employee of the former Highway Bureau's Law Enforcement Brigade who was knocked unconscious and thrown on a fishing boat to take abroad has changed a lot. Compared with other people who are simply doing business, Chen Junning has a little more momentum to kill and plunder. Having spent a long time in Southeast Asia, especially in the Golden Triangle, it is not surprising that such a temperament has formed.

"Opened the Killing Ring?" Li Lu smiled and lit a cigarette and pushed the cigarette case and lighter over.

Chen Junning, who was sitting across the work, picked up a cigarette and lit it, nodded, and said, "Yes, third brother." A few months ago our transport convoy was ambushed, and I also struck. ”

Li Lu didn't know about this matter, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, limited by means of communication, it was difficult for him to understand the situation over there in time, and even unable to fully understand. This was also the main reason why he asked Tang Jiu to go out and take charge personally.

"What about the casualties?" Li Lu asked.

Chen Junning took a puff of cigarette and said, "Our people are fine, two local employees died." ”

"Hmm." Li Lu thought for a while and said, "Since you're back, stay for a while and go home to have a look." ”

He always felt a little guilty about Chen Junning. Originally, Chen Junning would have had a quiet life. If he continues to work in the Highway Bureau in his twenties, he may be able to be a director of the bureau in 20 years, or he may be a chief clerk, but his life will get better and better, marry a wife and have children, and after the civil servant treatment is improved, he will have no pressure to buy a house without worry, and he can save money to buy a wedding house for his son, and then sit and wait for retirement to get seven or eight thousand pensions a month to help take care of the child, and finally die in a hospital bed one night, of course, the reimbursement standard of medical insurance is more than 90 percent......

Everything has changed.

Maybe Chen Junning is very likely to be killed in a future attack, but he has absolutely departed from the original ordinary life trajectory and will leave his own strong mark in the Red Star Military Industry Empire.

In any case, Li Lu is guilty, Chen Junning was innocent in the past car detention incident.

Chen Junning has already accepted the reality, and he has even begun to like this kind of life of doing business with blood in his hands. At least now, he is no longer a simple translator, at least now, ordinary people can't beat him. Where is there still a little bit of a weak scholar.

"Yes, Uncle Nine asked me to leave after the Lantern Festival, just so I can arrange things at home." Thinking of his parents, Chen Junning's eyes dimmed.

Li Lu said, "I arranged it for you at home." ”

Chen Junning looked up at Li Lu unexpectedly.

Li Lu said with a smile, "Your parents have entered Liugang to work, they are regular employees, your brother wants to do business, and gave him a sum of money, your sister doesn't need to arrange it, she graduated in June, and the state unit rushed to ask for it." However, I said hello to the Lugang City Government and snatched her up, and now she works in the city government office. ”

"Third Brother ......" Chen Junning was very surprised, and then moved.

Tang Jiu had never mentioned it to him, he didn't know anything. I didn't think at all that everything at home had already been arranged.

Li Lu said, "I told them that you work in Red Star Company and are the manager of the overseas branch, and after you go back, you have to unify your voice." ”

"Third brother, thank you." Chen Junning stood up and bowed solemnly.

Li Lu didn't say anything, waited for him to bow, pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and said, "You don't have to worry about family affairs, if you have any other requirements, put them forward, and I will handle them." ”

"Nope." Chen Junning shook his head and sighed with emotion, "My parents are just workers in a small factory in the county, and they can go to work in Liugang Factory, I dare to say, this is something they never imagined." ”

Li Luhe smiled and said, "They don't want to leave Liuzhou, otherwise I hope they can work here at Red Star Defense, which has a special steel mill." ”

"They are used to life, and they must not adapt to a sudden change of environment." Chen Junning explained.

"Yes." Li Lu said, "But on your sister's side, I have to tell you that some provincial-level government agencies originally wanted her, but I intercepted her and arranged her in the Lugang City Government." She doesn't know about this yet, so when you go back, explain it to her. ”

Chen Junning shook his head and said, "No need to explain. I know her, her temperament is not very suitable for administrative work, and it would be better for you to help look at it in the dry port. ”

"Hehe, you have no opinion, so that's it." Li Lu said with a smile.

Chen Junning sorted out his thoughts and began to report his work, his memory is amazing, unlike others who need to write down the main points of the report. This also has to do with the nature of his work, and confidentiality is also an important requirement.

"Third brother, Uncle Nine sent me back to report two things. First of all, Li Pingchun swept away more than half of the armed forces, and the chaos over there was alleviated, but his troops suffered heavy losses, especially weapons and equipment, and he hoped to be able to purchase some. The second thing is that some trading companies in Thailand have put forward requests for the purchase of cars, mainly transport vehicles and luxury cars. "We have set up offices in Singapore and Thailand, and the current operation there is going well, but the situation in Singapore has not yet been opened. Brother Zhang is personally in charge over there, and the situation is a little troublesome. ”

Li Ludao, "Let's talk about it specifically. ”

"The law and order there is very poor, gangs are rampant, and the standard of living of the people is not as good as in Thailand. The main thing is that the place is small. We had some internal divisions, and some people thought that we should abandon the market over there. ”

"What do you think?" Li Lu asked.

Chen Junning pondered for a while and said, "I personally don't think you should give up. ”

"Why?"

"There's a strait there. I've studied the map, and if you go by sea, the ships that go out of us have to go through that strait to go to Europe. Singapore is in the best position. Location is too important. I don't think we should give up, but we should focus more on that. Chen Junning did not hesitate at all, and said what he thought in his heart.

It can be seen that there are serious differences within the overseas branch because of the Singapore market.

I'm afraid this is the real reason why Tang Jiu sent Chen Junning to rush back to report on his work.
