Chapter 88: The Great Depression (7)

The verification of the drawings lasted for a day and a night, and Kent and the others stared at every straight line on the drawings with red eyes, trying to see even the smallest flaw in them.

Bodyguards from the "Combat Veteran" security company, a company formed by American soldiers after World War I, whose lives were not good due to the impact of the economic crisis, tried all kinds of jobs, the most common of course security guards, whose business scope has become very similar to the basic business of a modern security company.

The only duty of these muscular white bodyguards was to make sure that the drawings were not copied or taken away, and there were six veterans standing in the room, each with huge pectorals and strong biceps.

Just when Edsel and the others were busy, Huang Xuan went into another bedroom and said, "Call back to P112 and give Li Qing." ”

About two or three minutes, the long-lost Chinese came from the phone, and Li Qing said in a slightly hurried tone: "Hey? BOSS? ”

"It's me." Huang Xuan liked the title of BOSS and said with a smile: "Where is the expert that my mother found?" I need to ask them something. ”

"Right here." Li Qing quickly said: "Mr. Zhang asked me to wait here for your call." ”

While speaking, Li Qing had already handed over the phone to the people around him. The other party had a slight accent, but he said clearly: "Hello, is it Huang Xuan?" My name is******. ”

"Uncle Li is good." Huang Xuan remembered his mother's teachings and was polite, so he simply called him uncle, and he couldn't suffer a loss if he thought about it.

Obviously, he was very disappointed by this title, and said with a smile: "I heard Mr. Zhang say that you are visiting outside, and you may have some professional questions to ask, and everyone is waiting." ”

Huang Xuan was not in a hurry, and after being polite with six or seven people one by one, he said: "I have some problems now, which is quite professional, do you know how to split the drawings of the Citroen TA front-drive sedan into two parts, and let one of them be able to see the various technologies used, as well as the indicators that can be achieved, but you can't find the implementation technology and method."

******, who was originally relaxed, was really stumped when he heard this unheard of question, he covered the microphone and said two words before continuing: "Huang Xuan, when do you want an answer, we have to discuss it carefully." ”

"Before the evening, I'm sorry for you."

"Okay." didn't say much, turned around and hung up the phone.

At first glance, it may sound like it is not difficult to divide a drawing into two parts, but the fact that some of them can be used without finding an experimental method negates the necessity of drawings. Of course, this is not to say that it is impossible, and in the countless papers published every year, there are always some issues that people rarely cover, but to do such a job in just a few hours, even with a 30s model, I am afraid that it is extremely difficult.

However, Huang Xuan believes that the experts found by his mother should have their "home" appearance, which is also helpless, and it is really impossible to let Lorraine do such creative work, unless he has a reserve of information in this area, "think" - this is not the scope of the brain's work.

……

The morning sun caresses the Manhattan Peninsula with fresh air, and those who are looking forward to economic recovery can only see the green on the branches, the dew gently shining on the traffic lights at the intersections, and the passers-by in the same hurry as they did three years ago, and the worried look will always prevail.

Edsel was also preoccupied, and after solemnly handing over the suitcase to Huang Xuan, twenty strong men carefully carried the drawings of V8 downstairs.

As a courtesy, GM's representative, Edward, did not leave, or he wanted to know more about the drawings that Ford was about to buy. Edsel was gracious enough not to stop it.

When all the drawings were transported downstairs, Edsel showed cautious gratitude, he shook Huang Xuan's hand tightly, and said, "This is a pleasant deal. ”

Of course it was pleasant. Huang Xuan secretly thought that these drawings were almost the final improved V8, which was modified by Ford in the next 10 years after a large number of researchers. From the current point of view, the design of the V8 is also Ford, low-cost, conducive to mass production, and in line with the requirements of the assembly line, ...... its application of new technologies will inevitably exceed the A-type V8 in production. This is what Edsel values, he doesn't know what the car made with this drawing is, but he must know that the technology used to make this car is currently leading.

This alone is more than 100,000 yuan.

Huang Xuan stared at Edsel's dark circles with bad intentions and said, "Actually, do you still have $300,000?" ”

"Huh?" Edsel and Brown, who were about to leave, both turned their heads, and the latter even thought that Huang Xuan wanted to repent, and put his hands on his waist.

Hans, the head of the combat veteran's bodyguard, also stood nervously in front of Huang Xuan, he had already seen the $100,000 in the suitcase. Huang Xuan promised that as long as the deal was successfully completed, they could take $5,000, which was almost everyone's income for one year.

Huang Xuan spread out his hand, tried to be as friendly as possible, and said, "Don't worry, I'm referring to another transaction." ”

Edward of General Motors came over very actively this time, and before Edsel could make a statement, he said, "Mr. Huang, do you have any other design drawings?" ”

"Of course." Huang Xuan raised his head and said, "It's beyond imagination." With that, he opened the bedroom where he had slept last night.

Inside, of course, there were half a stack of blueprints. This is a drawing of the Citroen TA front-drive sedan that Lorraine output last night.

The front-drive car was a completely new attempt in the 30s, and in the opinion of experts, the TA of CitroΓ«n was almost a pure innovation. Front-wheel drive, chassis-less structure, torsion bar for single-wheel suspension, hydraulic braking. At the same time, these technologies were extremely advanced, and each of them was worth $300,000. What's more, it is very difficult to implement these technologies in a single car.

Huang Xuan believes that after seeing this half of the drawings, the two companies will definitely rush to pay 300,000 US dollars. Not just because of the praise of the experts, but because of the time, it is now 1931, and two years later, CitroΓ«n will hire the young Lefebble. It would take the talented engineer 13 months to build this transformative car, which had been in production for 25 years. In other words, Huang Xuan's drawings can advance all this by 4 years.

Mechanical technology developed at the beginning of the 20th century as fast as electronics did at the beginning of the 21st century, and it was fast enough to be accurate to the "sky". Even if it's the Great Depression now, even if it's the United States, even if it's the arrogant Ford and GM who like to merge. The runaway champion of his time, the robber car, the god of cars, is still enough to conquer the world with its top-notch design and unlimited creativity.

In Lorraine's words, this is a trend, an inevitability, a tremendous energy that can change the buffer zone.

But at this moment, Edsel was only surprised by the drawings in one room, and out of some trust, he turned back to Kent and his men, and said to Huang, "Can we see it?" ”

"Yes." Huang Xuan smiled and nodded, but Edward did not show weakness, and said with a pun: "Mr. Huang, now the world's largest automobile company is already GM. ”

Huang Xuanxiao squinted and said, "You can call someone to come and see, I have no problem." The rules are the same as before, anyone can go in and see it, but they can't copy it, and they can't take it away until I send it to you, understand? He said the last thing to Hans.

β€œYES。” The veterans' answers were crisp and neat, which was Huang Xuan's favorite style.

He smiled and turned back to the confused Edsel and Edward, and said, "You can check these drawings now, but there is only half here, and the remaining half, whoever pays, who can get it, this time I want 300,000 dollars." Now I'm going to New York, I can't stay here, if I decide to pay, come to New York, I'm only there for 4 days. ”

This carefree attitude surprised Edsel and Edward. Huang Xuan ignored them anymore, took out $1,000 from the box, thought about it, took out another $200, handed the former to Hans, and said, "This is half of the money, and after I take the telegram to you, I will give it to your other half." ”

"Thank you, sir, you are such a generous man." In 24 hours, he got $2,000, and now in 1931, Hans was almost excited.

Huang Xuan patted Hans's arm, handed him two hundred dollars, and said, "This is another commission, I want a few people to go to New York with me, about 7 days, or 2,000 US dollars, this is a deposit." ”

"No problem, sir, I'll go with you personally."

"That's for the best." Huang Xuan also liked the straightforwardness of this army lieutenant, and said: "Take a few veterans, it's best to have a family, I don't want anything unpleasant to happen." "If you have a family, you won't be easy to get rich, you will steal from yourself, and you will think more about things when you encounter them. Huang Xuan didn't really need them to keep him safe, but he also didn't want to lure wolves in.

Hans understood what Huang Xuan meant, although he was a little unhappy, but the employer's request was understandable, he took the money from Huang Xuan's hand, and said in a rough voice: "BOSS, don't worry, the bodyguard of the combat veteran is the best in the United States." ”

"That's good." Huang Xuan patted him again with a slight apology, then gestured slightly to Edsel and Edward, and turned to leave, in addition to the banknotes that could buy three or four mansions in his bag, there was also a complete set of identification, which Lorraine had exported by the way last night.

Hans whispered two words and followed closely.
