Zhang Jin carried a bottle of wine, went upstairs leisurely, and knocked on the door of Liu Zhengtai's house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the door opened, Liu Zhengtai saw that it was Zhang Jin, and greeted the guest with a smile: "Brother Zhang is here, you are really busy these days, and you can't always see your people, you think the shipbreaking yard is here." ”

Zhang Jin snorted, walked in the door, put the wine on the table, and said, "Can I compare to you kid when I get rich again?" You've been running all over the streets in less than a few months, and the profit margin is still so high, you're making money to death. ”

Liu Zhengtai smiled with reserve and pride, and said, "It's just luck." ”

Zhang Jin sat on the sofa and said, "It's also that your kid has good eyesight and is really capable." You are like me, a person who learned to build a ship, and now he is actually engaged in ship dismantling, which is all hard work, and there are few people who are willing to do it, our company has recruited some Indians to come in, and the usual communication is quite a problem, and the work is not very good. ”

Liu Zhengtai heheed, pointed to the leather shoes on Zhang Jin's feet, and said: "Okay, don't pretend to be poor with me, if your company really can't make money, then you can wear 200 yuan a pair of leather shoes, and I am reluctant to buy them." ”

Zhang Jin touched his nose and said, "Are you still reluctant to buy it?" Look at your big house, how many people in the whole of Los Angeles are now buying their own houses to live in? Your brother and I are still renting a house, your house of more than 100 square meters, 8,000 yuan, how can ordinary people afford it, you look at your high-end sofa, that is, you are willing to buy it like a real tyrant. ”

Liu Zhengtai smiled and stopped talking, since the establishment of his General Motors company, the development has been extremely smooth, the civilian car has been sold as soon as it was launched on the market, and the value of the car unit he sold is high, and the profit is not low, plus he has obtained a round of financing later, and the interest-free loan of the entrepreneurial plan is not in a hurry to repay, so he has a lot of spare money in his hand, and he immediately bought a house.

When he didn't cross over, although he was a little talented, it was difficult to find a high-paying job, and he couldn't even afford a toilet in a first-tier city, so he bought himself a big house as soon as he had money. This kind of satisfaction is probably something that all traversers can experience.

"Brother Zhang, aren't you planning to buy a house?"

"What kind of house to buy, your brother Zhang and I am now single, one person is full of food and the whole family is not panicking, it is useless to buy a house. But if you find a sister-in-law later, you still have to buy a set, but we won't burn bags like you to buy such a large, two-bedroom house of less than 90 square meters, the house price is much cheaper. Two or three thousand yuan can be done, and financial loans are also provided, so we can pay for the house slowly, and there is no need to buy it in full at one time. ”

Zhang Jin originally planned to open a shipyard, but the state-owned shipyard Long Beach Shipyard now undertakes most of the shipbuilding tasks, and there are still some passing ships in Datang's shipbuilding industry that have not been digested, so he is not particularly optimistic. A large number of redundant ships need to be dismantled, and in the process of dismantling, he can also train his team, and after the shipbuilding business is up in the future, he can continue to switch to shipbuilding business.

Zhang Jin's shipbreaking yard is called West Coast Shipbreaking Yard, and now it has nearly 100 employees, and the number of shipbreaking has surpassed that of Long Beach Shipyard, and its income is naturally considerable.

"I said, Xiao Zhengtai, do you have any follow-up development in your company?" After the two sat down, they made some side dishes, put wine on the table, and began to chat while eating.

Liu Zhengtai said: "Mercedes-Benz's business, in fact, may soon be saturated. Our Datang is just such a small place, and the population is small, although the consumption power is not bad, but how many cars can be sold? In addition, Mercedes-Benz is still relatively expensive, and ordinary people have limited spending power and cannot afford it. On my side, I am thinking about developing a car brand that is more accessible to the people, focusing on mass consumers, so that ordinary people can buy a car with a few months' salary. Los Angeles is expanding at a rapid pace, and people who used to be able to get to their destinations by foot and bicycle will not be able to do so in the future. Roads are also being built between several cities, so if you want to go to other cities, you will need a car. ”

Zhang Jin patted his thigh and said, "That's right, after all, the market for family cars is still bigger, have you started research and development?" What's the name of the brand? ”

At this time, Liu Zhengtai twisted again, and said: "R&D has started a war, it's called Volkswagen ......"

Zhang Jin laughed when he heard this, and said, "Why am I not surprised at all? ”

He teased Liu Zhengtai a few times, and said: "But even if your Volkswagen brand is successfully launched, our market is still relatively limited, and your GM Group is still facing competition." The state-owned FAW Group has also set its sights on this area, and they feel that it is not enough to produce agricultural machinery and trucks, and they are ready to install the FAW logo on their own civilian vehicles. ”

Liu Zhengtai also attaches great importance to the fact that FAW Group is a state-owned enterprise with strong roots, and its scale is several times larger than that of his General Motors. In the past, it has been focusing on the development of agricultural machinery, which of course has brought political orders. After the introduction of tractors and harvesters, it has indeed been of great help to agricultural production. The engineers of FAW, compared with the big liberation truck of the year, created an identical truck, also called liberation. Although the performance of this liberation truck is even worse than that of the Great Liberation made in China in the fifties, there is no problem with practicality, especially the transportation of industry, mining and other materials, which are handed over to these trucks.

And FAW Group does not seem to be satisfied with this market, and they have set their sights on family cars. Just like the Mercedes-Benz logo of the General Motors Group, they also borrowed the logo of the later FAW and began to develop and produce their own cars. However, FAW Group has other production tasks, and its energy cannot be fully focused on this, so the progress is still relatively slow.

Liu Zhengtai couldn't help sighing: "After all, the market is too small, our country is small, and the population is small, if only we could export to the outside." When our cars are exported, Datang's oil can also be exported, and that is a profit. ”

Zhang Jin shook his head and said: "Don't think about this for the time being, not to mention that we haven't reached a formal trade agreement with any country yet, even if we can export, we will definitely worry about the outflow of technology." ”

Liu Zhengtai laughed and said: "I don't believe that those Europeans can build exactly the same car after looking at our general car." The gap in industrial level is here. ”

Zhang Jindao: "I don't believe it either, but a complex industrial product is enough to give them great inspiration, and many things in this era are actually a layer of window paper, which is a matter of research direction." When people see our internal combustion engines, they will definitely put more effort into it, maybe it won't be effective in ten years, but definitely before the end of the 19th century, they will develop more mature products. Imitation is actually a relatively simple thing, although the industrial system of Europeans is much more backward than ours, but as long as they have the right reference, it is not difficult to catch up. This is like after the founding of the People's Republic in our era, all development can actually find imitation objects, which is relatively easy, but Western countries need to continue to create, so the gap is getting smaller and smaller. ”

Liu Zhengtai's eyes widened: "But we can't say that we will completely restrict our own industrial development, if there is no market, our industrial enterprises will go bankrupt sooner or later." ”

Zhang Jindao: "Yes, so Datang will actually go to this road sooner or later, exporting complex industrial products, afraid of being learned, if you don't export your own company, you won't be able to support it, and you won't have the funds to continue research and development." However, I think that our complex industrial products can only be truly exported when the top level thinks that our country is strong enough not to be afraid of the imitative pressure of the other side's national size. ”

Liu Zhengtai was silent for a long time, and then said: "It seems that before this time comes, I still need to engage in more unrestricted product exports, otherwise I may really face a development crisis later." However, companies like glass factories export things that foreigners like, with high profit margins and a lot of money, but they don't need to continue R&D and expansion at all, and it doesn't cost much, which is really unreasonable. ”

"It's not like that, the glass factories are not directly responsible for the trade, their goods are sold to the ITC first, and then the ITC is traded abroad. Although the export price of the glass factory is much higher than the domestic selling price, it is not very outrageous, and the real outrageous is the price sold by the international trade company to foreigners. However, the vast majority of this large amount of business income will be handed over to the government, so the government has obtained absolute windfall profits throughout the trade process. Of course, the government that gets the money will also invest heavily in public infrastructure and in enterprises that need to be deployed. So economically, our country relies on trade and investment, which is very similar to the countries before the crossing. Zhang Jin said in an analysis.

Liu Zhengtai nodded and said: "Brother Zhang, you have a lot of knowledge, I am a small engineering student, and I don't know much about this aspect at all." ”

Zhang Jin smiled: "I'm also an engineering student." ”

At this time, the door of Liu Zhengtai's house was banged again, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Ishikawa, the glasses brother who followed Liu Zhengtai.

"It's a big deal, the Ministry of Defense has released a military procurement bidding project, equipping the army with 100 new four-wheeled light armored off-road vehicles, this time it is an open bidding, we and FAW Group are eligible to participate in the bidding, this is a big order with a total value of 500,000 yuan, and if this order is done, we will become a military industrial enterprise, we will enjoy more benefits, and the quality can also be used for propaganda in this matter!"
