This Czech car company is not very famous, but Yang Chao knows it, because this company's products are more focused on trucks, and it has a good reputation in the field of construction machinery in the world, ordinary consumers will not know, but as a trader, Yang Chao knows very well. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The company is called Taituola, which is not good when translated into Chinese, and originates from a mountain range called TATRA in Czechoslovakia.

The products of the company are mainly concentrated in trucks, especially 40-ton trucks, which are very popular in the field of large-scale mines and field construction.

But in this era, their products were still dominated by cars, and in Czechoslovakia they were one of the two major car companies on a par with Skoda.

The history is also very long, in 1898 they built their own car, even before Skoda.

Like Skoda, limited by the small domestic market of Czechoslovakia, their products, like the current Skoda, are mainly aimed at the luxury car segment.

And has always enjoyed a good reputation in Europe, even the Germans preferred Czechoslovak cars, and if it were not for the war, the country would most likely become a major car-making country in Europe.

World War II destroyed half of the Czechoslovak automobile industry, and the other half was destroyed by Soviet Russia, which turned Czechoslovakia into a satellite state of Soviet Russia after World War II, and then they adopted a centralized concept, handing over the already famous streamlined cars to Skoda for production, and turning to the field of trucks.

A few years later, after being unable to stand the quality of the mid-to-high-end cars produced in Soviet Russia, the Czechoslovak government restarted the production of luxury cars that were too protracted, and the quality of the cars they produced was indeed much higher than that of Soviet Russia, and they supplied the special cars of the leaders of many countries in the Warsaw Pact camp.

After the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the Czech Republic became a pro-European country, and Tai Tuo immediately began to restart the car program, but at that time, in front of the German automobile industry, which had grown up, they had no chance at all, and their good partner Skoda chose to merge into Volkswagen, while Tai Tuo gave up the car and focused on the field of construction vehicles.

This time it was too dragging to sue Volkswagen for infringing on the exterior design of their T97 car.

The reason is that when Adolf visited the Czech Republic, he liked the car that was too dragged, and said to the casual Porsche, this is what he imagined, the car that should run on the German highway, no wonder Adolf liked this car, because this car is still very in line with the aesthetics of this era, Yang Chao was attracted by the images in the newspaper, because he thought he saw the Volkswagen Beetle, which was all the rage in later generations.

Yang Chao only knows that the Volkswagen Beetle is the first model in the world to surpass the production of 15 million Ford Model T, and the second to surpass the Japanese Toyota car, but that will be a long time later.

The most important thing is that the Beetle has reached this level under the competition of Chinese American cars, even Ford has not been able to create the same miracle after the Model T, but the Beetle has created this miracle on the ruins of Germany after World War II, which at least proves that this car does have the potential as a national car, which is very in line with the aesthetics of this era.

To Yang Chao's surprise, the Beetle turned out to be not Volkswagen's original, but copied the design of the Czechoslovakians, what he didn't know was that this time the lawsuit could not be sued, because Volkswagen has only withdrawn a few hundred sample cars now, and has not yet been mass-produced, before they were mass-produced, Czechoslovakia was annexed by the Nazis, and then ordered too long to be allowed to produce the T97, knowing that after World War II, it was too procrastinating to file a lawsuit again, That's when Volkswagen gave them $3 million in an out-of-court settlement.

"What are you looking at?"

It's hard not to love jewelry, and Galia and Leda are constantly choosing jewelry in Germany.

Yang Chao read the newspaper carefully.

The two took a fancy to a Patek Philippe luxury watch, turned their heads and saw Yang Chao reading the newspaper, and couldn't help asking.

Yang Chao raised his head: "Have you picked it out?" ”

The two nodded, still showing shyness, because the things they had chosen were a bit expensive.

Yang Chao didn't say much, and waved his hand: "Zhentang, pay." ”

Jin Zhentang, who was dressed in a plainclothes suit, immediately walked to the counter and asked politely in German:

"Do you accept Chinese banknotes?"

Before he came, Jin Zhentang exchanged a lot of Western currencies, and as he grew older, although he was not as strong as in the past, his mind was much more careful than before.

But he didn't exchange much either, because many Western countries accept Chinese banknotes.

"Are you talking about gold dollar coupons?"

The waiter behind the glass counter asked.

Jin Zhentang shook his head: "China two!" ”

The waiter smiled: "The same." ”

With the decoupling of silver banknotes from silver, after being directly linked to the gold dollar, 1 tael is equal to 2 yuan, but in the Eastern world, it is still customary to call Chinese taels, and Western Westerners are still accustomed to calling Chinese currency gold dollar coupons.

Jin Zhentang immediately opened his wallet: "How much?" ”

The waiter is very happy, from these Chinese come in, he is very happy, because in recent years the Chinese in Germany is famous, in the city of Berlin, there are a lot of Chinese, although there is no Chinese town like Hamburg jewelry street, but there are many Chinese college students studying in Berlin, China's rich man Yang Chao donated 1 billion taels as a study abroad fund, in recent years to support 100,000 Chinese students to study in Germany, this number is even more than only 80,000 German students, Even with international students, half of the Chinese are studying at German universities.

These Chinese students who can come to Germany to study, although the vast majority of them are sponsored by the Yang Zi Foundation, but the majority of them are middle-class family students, because the students who can get the study abroad quota are often extremely excellent in all aspects, such as family education, the children of the poor are still difficult to compete, although there are children from poor families, through efforts to cross the class, but in the final analysis, it is a minority, so among the 100,000 Chinese students, 70,000 are children of middle-class and above families.

Chinese families generally dot on children, especially children with income, loving fathers do not love useless children, in turn, loving fathers also love children with income, so many families still maintain the tradition of frugality, but also maintain the tradition of giving their children a decent life, because in ancient society, the only goal of a scholar is to be an official, and to be an official is to be decent, so in the old society, a family of scholars, before the scholar became an official, most of the income was used for children to study.

Even those who have good academic performance and can enter official schools such as the National Prison for free, the same family will pay a lot of costs, which is obviously not for them to read, write, buy ink and light lamps, many of them are to let them socialize, let them establish social relationships, to be precise, let them visit the Qinglou funds.

Although the current Chinese middle class is not as exaggerated as in ancient times, because they did not completely pin the hopes of the family on a son, they would also give a lot of pocket money to the students, these students arrived in Germany, found that the German prices were low, and at the same time, China's bad habit of spending lavishly to win a reputation for generosity soon made him establish a reputation among German students.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Chao entered the door, the clerk began to pay attention to him, and she also found that Yang Chao seemed to be very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, and when she first wondered if Yang Chao was a regular customer in the store, Yang Chao soon began to look down at the newspaper.

But the clerk was still looking forward to it, from the time Yang Chao brought two female companions, and at the same time followed by five bodyguard-like subordinates, the shrewd clerk decided that Yang Chao was a Chinese tycoon, although this kind of person is not common in Berlin, but it is not uncommon, many wealthy Chinese parents come to Germany to see their children sometimes dressed up in this way, obviously those people are the new generation of Chinese capitalists.

The clerk's expectations came true, the Chinese were very generous to his female companion, two Patek Philippe diamond-encrusted watches were bought, this pair is a limited edition, the price is high, worth 10,000 US dollars, usually Germans will not buy this luxury, their target group is the United Kingdom across the sea, and the Americans across the ocean, but the Chinese are now second only to the United States in the eyes of the Germans, they have no doubt that the Chinese can afford it.

Jin Zhentang paid quickly, and the clerk happily counted the bills, but Jin Zhentang turned around and left: "There is no need to look for more." ”

Jialia and Lida were very happy, they didn't expect this Chinese official to be so generous, and they were still a little cautious about the price of the watch.

Happy, they immediately came up and kissed Yang Chao sweetly in the way that the instructor gave them to please the man.

Yang Chao smiled: "Do you want a car?" ”

"Cars!"

Even people exclaimed, obviously although the watch is luxurious, but compared with the big guy like the car, the impact is not the same, and in Soviet Russia, the car is a status symbol, and generally only the official has a car.

Yang Chao lit up the newspaper: "That's right, this car." ”

As he spoke, Yang Chao stood up.

The clerk of the jewelry store has already counted the banknotes given by the Chinese, although it is only 70 taels more, but this is 175 US dollars, which is equivalent to 25 months of her salary, and two years' salary is obviously a small fortune.

In addition to being happy, he was about to thank the Chinese, but the clerk was stunned, he saw the face of Yang Chao who had just stood up, and then immediately looked down at the banknote, and then raised his eyes to look at Yang Chao, looking down at the banknote.

"Are you going to buy us a car?"

The two female spies said coquettishly, one from the left to the other, and hugged Yang Chao's arm, which caused a group of Germans visiting the department store to look sideways.

Yang Chao smiled: "No, I want to buy this car company!" ”

"Ahh

At this time, suddenly there was a scream from behind.

Yang Chao couldn't help but glance back, and found that the female clerk was pointing at her with her mouth wide open, speechless in surprise, and the other clerks walked towards her, wanting to see what was going on.

Yang Chao smiled and nodded, and then walked out of the jewelry store. (To be continued.) )
