Detroit, 58 Bargerie Ave. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The two carriages slowly stopped on the side of the road. On the first carriage, Claude first pushed open the door and jumped down, followed by Qin Lang and Duncan. After carefully checking the house number, Qin Lang nodded to the others. "The people we're going to see are here. Claude—"

So Claude stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a woman with a baby in her arms appeared in the doorway. She looked at Claude carefully, then looked at Qin Lang and Duncan behind him—she was surprised for a moment to see Qin Lang—and then withdrew her gaze and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?" ”

"Mrs. Ford," said Claude in the most polite tone, "is Mr. Ford at home?" ”

"He's here. What's the matter with you? ”

"We want to meet Mr. Ford." Claude replied, "My boss was interested in his research. ”

"Please come in." Mrs. Ford returned to the house and extended an invitation. When she first saw the three people at the door, she had already noticed that they were quite well-dressed, obviously wealthy. No one is going to keep a rich person out of the door - unless they come to collect their debts.

But Mrs. Ford was well aware that her family owed no money to anyone, and that the three men at the door had made it clear that they were interested in her husband's research.

With a smile on her face, she welcomed the three into the living room. "You may be seated, and I'll call Henry now."

At the moment, Henry. Ford is tinkering with his hobby in the kitchen: the internal combustion engine. He also heard a knock on the door, but ignored it. At this time of day, most of the people who visit are salesmen, dealing with these troublesome guys is a waste of precious time, and he would rather spend every minute of his life researching and improving the internal combustion engine.

The main thing is improvement. At the end of last year, Ford had completed his first gasoline engine, and now he hopes that it can be overhauled to the point where it can be put into actual production and application. Therefore, he does not want to be disturbed by others, especially strangers he does not know.

But soon, he heard someone enter the room. Just as Ford was confused and about to ask his wife, Mrs. Ford walked into the kitchen. "Henry, there are a few gentlemen who want to see you."

"Who?" He was upset. The problem has been repeatedly emphasized, and he doesn't want to be bothered!

"It's some rich gentlemen," Mrs. Ford explained, "and they say they're interested in your research." Henry, I think you've seen them. ”

"Interested in my research?" Ford was stunned for a moment, then nodded reluctantly. "Okay, I'll go meet them...... But only for a moment. ”

He put down his work and followed her into the living room. Then he saw three people: a white man and an Oriental man sitting quietly in their chairs waiting patiently, while the other white man was fiddling with a knick-knack with great interest. Hearing footsteps and seeing him appear, Qin Lang and Claude immediately stood up, while Duncan hurriedly put down what he was holding and turned to face him.

"Mr. Ford." Claude spoke first, and held out his hand, "It's a pleasure to see you." I'm George. Claude, works for Umbrella Security Services in California. ”

"I'm glad too, Mr. Claude." Ford replied coldly and shook his hand gently. "And who are these two?"

"Allow me to introduce you," Claude pointed first to Duncan, "this is Duncan, the director of the company. Mr. Sandy. After Duncan shook hands with Ford, he continued: "This is the boss of the company, Mr. Qin Lang. ”

Ford and his wife were stunned, they couldn't believe what they were hearing. "Boss? An Oriental? "It was incredible, and for a moment, they even suspected it was just a joke. The boss of the company turned out to be an Oriental, how could such a thing happen?

Qin Lang could completely understand their surprise. He smiled and bowed to Henry. Ford stretched out his right hand, "Qin Lang, the owner of California Umbrella Security Services." ”

"Fortunately." Ford mechanically shook his hand. It took him a while to recover from the shock. "Clara said to me," he said, glancing at his wife beside him, "you're interested in my research. ”

"Yes, Mr. Ford." Qin Lang nodded, "I've heard about your research for a long time, and I also know that you had already completed a model of a gasoline engine at the end of last year. ”

"Yes." Ford's surprise intensified. Only a few people know about the fact that he made an engine model, and how did this Oriental get the news? And he's still in distant California...... It's unbelievable.

Qin Lang noticed the expression on Ford's face and secretly smug for a while. "Shall we sit down and talk about your research, Mr. Ford? I don't think it's convenient to speak while standing. ”

"Yes...... Of course...... Have a seat. "Henry. Ford came to his senses. He made a "please sit" gesture to Qin Lang, and then sat down with him. Then, Duncan and Claude sat down. After Mrs. Ford left the living room and went to the kitchen to make coffee for them, Qin Lang officially began.

"Mr. Ford, I'm interested in your research. Although I don't know much about internal combustion engine technology and don't want to know about it, I believe it has a lot of business prospects. He said bluntly, "So, I'm going to invest in sponsoring your research." ”

"You're ready to sponsor me? Are you really going to do this, sir? Ford had a feeling that after seeing Qin Lang, he couldn't help but feel suspicious of every word he said. If a white man had told him that he was going to sponsor research on the internal combustion engine, he would have happily accepted it. But Qin Lang's special identity made him unable to believe him unreservedly.

That's really ...... Uncomfortable conversations.

Qin Lang didn't know what Ford was thinking, but it didn't matter. His purpose was quite clear, to sponsor Henry. Ford's research, and then a joint venture with him to set up a car manufacturing plant. So today, Qin Lang must ask him to accept his sponsorship. "There is no doubt that, as I said earlier, I am ready to invest in sponsoring your research because of the broad commercial prospects that the internal combustion engine has."

"But it's not just the internal combustion engine that I'm going to work on." Ford is depressed right now. He just couldn't control that damn skepticism. How nice it is that someone is ready to sponsor their own research......

"I know you also want to study motor vehicles that use internal combustion engines. Of course, Mr. Ford, I will also sponsor your research. Qin Lang smiled.

Henry. For the third time, Ford fell into a state of shock. He never told anyone that he wanted to build an autonomous "four-wheeler" – even Clara. But why does this Oriental know? Did he have the ability to prophesy, or did he just guess correctly? It's really confusing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ford, but Qin ...... His judgment and analytical skills are good. Duncan interjected. He had been observing Ford's face, and judging from the current situation, if he didn't clarify anything, this poor gentleman would probably be frightened by Qin Lang's accurate prediction. However, he did not bluntly tell Ford that Qin Lang owned a truck of his own, which would definitely seriously dampen his enthusiasm for research.

His interjection also made Qin Lang feel alert. There are times when he can play the role of a prophet, but not others. Now he must take steps to remedy it. "Aren't all engineers who develop internal combustion engines develop motorized tools to use them, Mr. Ford? At least Gottbury in Germany. Daimler is like that. ”

"Oh, yes." Cunning and intelligent people. This is Ford's new evaluation of Qin Lang. He went so far as to extrapolate his next steps from the behavior patterns of other engineers...... He's too smart.

But he still didn't fully accept Qin Lang's kindness. "Sir, what are the conditions for you to sponsor my research?"

"Quite simply, when your research results can be put into actual production, you can only set up a joint venture with me and the other shareholders of Umbrella." Qin Lang said slowly, "Of course, the factory will be named after you, and you enjoy the management rights and 25% equity of the company. What do you think of the conditions, Mr. Ford? ”

One of the advantages of putting Ford in charge of the company is that since he can lead Ford Motor Company to glory in history, the results of repeating it will not be worse than that. Then, all Qin Lang had to do was to monitor the company's operations through the internal affairs department, and then hide at home and count the money.

As for the allotment of shares...... This was the case in 1903 when the Ford Motor Company was formally founded, in which Ford owned 25.5 percent, and of course he invested money on that occasion. But Qin Lang, unlike the other eleven shareholders of Ford, will not transfer his equity to Henry. Ford.

And, like Hommel Foods, his ultimate goal is to turn Ford into a high-class wage earner.

But Ford is not aware of his plans yet. He felt that he was the one who had benefited. "I don't understand, your conditions seem to give me a big advantage......"

"Believe me, Mr. Ford, I am a businessman and all my investments will guarantee me maximum benefit. So you don't have to worry about me. This time, Qin Lang told the truth.
