Hetings was the leader of Ford's negotiation team, and he was leaving Pengcheng International Airport with the team to take the high-speed train to Shanmei.

As a member of Mi Li's family who came to Dongtang for the first time, he had to sigh at the greatness and horror of this country, looking at the high-rise buildings outside the car window, and the bustling scenery of traffic.

"Mr. Headings, this is the first time you've come to Dongtang, right?" Parker, the general manager of Ford's Dongtang branch?? Barry asked.

Haitings nodded: "It's indeed my first time coming to Dongtang. ”

"Shocking, isn't it?"

"It's really impressive."

"The longer I stay in this country, the more I feel that this country is improving and changing every day." Parker?? Barry sighed with a complicated expression.

"The rice grain family is falling behind, and we have been eating the old book." Headings smiled wryly.

"Look at the high-speed rail we are taking now, is it very fast."

Headings looked at the scenery flying by outside the window, and replied approvingly: "It's really very fast, those slow old trains in China can't be compared, I heard that the first phase of the California high-speed rail project has been completed, I believe we will also have high-speed rail." ”

"California high-speed rail? At their pace, it is estimated that it may not be completed by 2030. "Parker?? Barry scoffed.

"Huh!" Headings shook his head and smiled bitterly, agreeing with Parker's words.

Parker then came up with a piece of news that surprised Heatins: "Do you know what Heatins? Dongtang is ready to phase out high-speed rail. ”

"What? Eliminate high-speed rail?" Heitings is obviously incredulous that such a good technology is about to be eliminated?

"Don't believe me?" Parker opened the holographic bracelet and turned out a news article "Ministry of Railways Pilot Pingtan-Shanmei Vacuum Railway".

Headings lifted his glasses and read the article carefully, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

"Why haven't I heard about it in China?"

"Do you think the country will report on these great achievements of the Eastern Tang Dynasty? They will only hack the Eastern Tang. Parker said helplessly.

"It's amazing, the speed is 1100~1200 kilometers per hour, if an intercontinental railway is built, it will only take about ten hours from Dongtang to Mi Lijia."

“NO！ In the case of intercontinental railways, this speed will only be faster, because theoretically the speed of vacuum railways can reach speeds of about 10,000 kilometers per hour. Parker said.

"It's unbelievable, we're still grinding for the construction of a high-speed railway, but Dongtang is ready to phase out high-speed rail." Headings said with a heavy heart.

"This is just one aspect, just like our mobile phones, chips, and communications have fallen behind in an all-round way." Parker reminded.

For Parker's mobile phones, chips, communications, etc., Heitings has a more or less understanding, and now 98% of the world's mobile phone market is occupied by the 8 major manufacturers of Dongtang, the 2 major manufacturers of Colliers, and Sydney.

Don't look at Sydney with the name of the rice grain family, in fact, they are the holding company of the Galaxy Foundation.

As for chips, not to mention, Dongtang, Dongdao, and Gaoli have popularized 7 nanometers and 5 nanometers, and the high-end ones are using 3 nanometers, and Galaxy Group is even already developing 1 nanometers.

And Mi Lijia's Intel, Texas Instruments, and Nvidia are now crawling on 7 nanometers.

Also in the field of communications, the entire East Asian region and Southeast Asia have begun to fully popularize 6G communications, and Mi Lijia is still using 4G communications.

There is a big difference between the two, which doesn't make Haitings feel sad and pessimistic.

Not wanting to continue this heavy topic, Hetins diverted the topic and asked, "By the way, Parker, what did the Thor Group say about our arrival?"

"They welcomed us, but it seemed that the conditions were a bit harsh, and I heard that the Volkswagen Group did not have a good time negotiating yesterday." Parker told the news that he knew.

"Specifically, what are their conditions?"

"Shares, ask for 30% of the shares."

"30% of the shares?" Hearing this, Heitingston's brow furrowed.

"Raytheon's attitude is very tough, by the way, Musk also went to Shanmei yesterday."

"Tesla's Musk?"

"That's the guy."

"Hasn't Tesla always cooperated with Raytheon? What is he doing here?" Headings asked, surprised.

"It seems that this time they are engaged in it with GM, and Raytheon Group is very dissatisfied and is preparing to increase the price of Tesla's batteries." Parker gloated.

Heitings couldn't deny it, and then he continued: "I want to talk to the president and the board about this 30% stake. ”

"A must."

Headings took out his laptop, wrote down these things in the mail, and sent them to the head office of the Mi Lijia family.

By the time his email was sent, the train had slowly stopped at the Shanmei high-speed rail station.

When he came to Shanmei, Hetins saw a world that was different from ordinary big cities, with a large area of graphene solar film, making the whole city look like it was indoors.

Holographic projection equipment, electric cars, and flowers and trees are everywhere, and those vines climb the walls of houses, and the roofs are almost sky gardens.

"A city full of technology and nature." Heatins exclaimed.

"After all, this is one of the two core cities of the Galaxy Consortium, and it is positioned as the capital of science and technology." Parker explained as he walked.

"Where is Galaxy Technology's headquarters?"

"There!" Parker said, pointing to the five stepped buildings.

The stepped buildings he refers to are the five buildings of Galaxy Technology: 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19.

Parker continued, "Every year, Galaxy Technology will build a new building, and the new building will be 10 stories taller than the previous year's building, symbolizing that Galaxy Technology is progressing every year. ”

"I see." As Heitings looked at the stepped buildings that looked like a histogram, he could see that Galaxy Technology was ambitious.

The two of them got on the minibus and looked at the factories and high-rise buildings on both sides in silence, and now the rapid development of Dongtang has broken their pride.

Soon, in silence, the minibus carrying Ford's negotiation team finally arrived at the headquarters of the Raytheon Group.

For this kind of business matters, Galaxy Technology generally does not come forward, and each group handles it itself, unless it is a very large matter, Galaxy Technology will come forward.

After Fang Shengjie and Haitings exchanged a few words, he handed a contract to Haitings straight to the point.

Looking at the conditions on the contract, it was really similar to what Parker said, and the Raytheon Group asked Ford Motor to take out 30% of the shares and sell them to the Raytheon Group at a price of 10 billion yuan.

"Mr. Fang, please give us a moment, I need to talk to the board about this." Headings knew she couldn't call the shots.

Fang Shengjie nodded: "Yes, I'll give you three days." ”

"Then we'll take our leave."

After saying hello, Headings took Parker and the others back to the hotel.

The other side.

Mi Lijia, in the headquarters of Ford.

Ford's president had already received an email from Heatins, and apparently he wasn't surprised by Raytheon's harsh conditions, or rather the lion's mouth.

But even he can't decide on the matter, after all, there is a 30% stake deal involved, and he has to discuss it with Ford's board of directors.
