Although Li Chengfeng is the vice minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, he has never heard of Zhongxin Company, let alone imagined that in such a period, there can be such a company, and it can actually build an automobile production base with France.

China's industrialization process has just begun, and what is most needed is the world's leading technology, if there is a company in Jiangcheng that can reach an agreement with France on the production of automobiles, it will definitely play a positive role in the negotiations between the country and the German Volkswagen.

In Li Chengfeng's mind, industrialization refers to the process of social transformation from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy.

From the invention of the steam engine by Watt in the early 60s of the 18th century, the beginning of industrialization in Britain, to the completion of industrialization in Japan in the 70s of the 20th century, more than 200 years, the roads traveled by various countries are different.

Britain vigorously promoted steam technology, which effectively promoted the rapid development of textile, metallurgy, machine manufacturing, transportation, mining and other industries, so that the social productive forces from the handicraft workshop into the era of large machines, which was the earliest industrialization.

The United States, France, Germany, Russia and other countries pushed the industry from steam technology to electrification, at this time, the invention of generators, electric lights, wireless communication technology, internal combustion engines, etc., human society from the steam age into the electric age and the era of internal combustion engines, promoting the tremendous development of productive forces. This can be said to be the industrialization of the middle period

Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other countries have introduced a large number of advanced technologies from Europe and the United States, from the early 50s of the 20th century to the 70s, and it took 20 years to master the scientific and technological achievements that the world spent half a century developing. At the same time, these countries focus on the research and development of independent technologies that can compete with Europe and the United States, and have obtained a large number of patents.

At this time, the world's science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and the invention of electronic computers, atomic energy, aerospace technology, Internet technology, and modern communication technology greatly improved social productivity and provided technical support for Japan's industrialization and modernization.

In the years from the 50s to the end of the 70s, there was basically no growth in science and technology, and the road that the Ministry of Machinery Industry is going to take now is to learn from the experience of the developed countries in the world and create more advanced scientific and technological achievements.

This cooperation with Volkswagen of Germany to produce Santana sedan is to increase the rapid development of China's automobile industry through cooperation with Volkswagen of Germany.

At this time, the car share of developed countries has reached a point beyond China's reach, and China must catch up with these countries at this time.

If there is really such a powerful company in Jiangcheng, then he should personally go there to conduct a field investigation to see if this company can help the process of the national automobile industry.

In the process of listening to Yang Zhongzhong's speech, Li Chengfeng heard that the cars to be produced by Zhongxin Company are also middle-class cars, and he had an extra idea in his heart, that is, he should take advantage of the fact that Zhongxin Company and the French company have not yet reached an agreement, let Zhongxin Company change its mind, and temporarily stop producing middle-class cars with France, and see if Zhongxin Company can talk to France and do some other types of car production projects.

Once he can convince the company to change its mind, it will definitely be a good thing for the country and the people at that time.

Just when Yang Zhongzhong was telling his daughter Yang Panpan how to translate Gemino and Li Zhongxin to negotiate with Jiangcheng, countless thoughts had already turned in Li Chengfeng's mind.

"My daughter said that the owner of this faithful company is very rich and has a very beautiful Japanese assistant.

Before the negotiations began, the owner of the faithful company immediately told his Japanese female assistant that she was going to gamble on the European Championship with $50 million. After Yang Zhongzhong finished talking about Li Zhongxin and Gemino reaching an agreement on the construction of an automobile base, he casually said that Yang Panpan said that Li Zhongxin was going to gamble with 50 million US dollars.

When Yang Zhongzhong said it to Yang Panpan, he didn't believe it at all.

At this time, there was basically no big gambling in China, generally just playing small mahjong or playing small poker.

What about mahjong! On the side of the capital, people who have some money play mahjong for about five dimes, and people who live a little more about the same life play mahjong for two dimes.

An honest person like Yang Zhongzhong, who only plays five cents when he plays mahjong, is playing mahjong with his colleagues during the Chinese New Year, and he has not played more than a dime at most.

However, Yang Zhongzhong didn't believe it, the things that Yang Panpan took home were worth at least a few hundred yuan, and those things alone were several times his salary.

Yang Panpan worked as a translator for Germino in Jiangcheng, and the money he earned was normally paid by Germino, but because Yang Panpan translated well in the final negotiation process, he was rewarded by Li Zhongxin with a big red envelope.

Yang Zhongzhong felt that the Zhongxin company gave Yang Panpan a big red envelope, which could be wrapped with ten yuan or twenty yuan, which was basically very good.

Yang Zhongzhong believes that the amount of this red envelope will definitely not exceed fifty yuan. After all, at this time, the average person's salary is nothing more than a few tens of yuan a month, and if it costs fifty yuan, it is equivalent to the salary of a sixth-level worker.

However, Yang Panpan took out the red envelope given to her by Zhongxin's company, and almost didn't scare Yang Zhongzhong into fainting, no, it should be said that she fainted in surprise.

When Yang Panpan took out the red envelope and gave it to him, he touched it casually, it was a thick stack, and when he pulled the money out of the red envelope, it turned out to be a new stack of great unity.

How much is a stack of great unity? That's a thousand dollars.

Yang Zhongzhong has saved so many years of savings from work to this time, but he has not saved a thousand yuan.

And Yang Panpan only worked as a translator in Jiangcheng for a few days, and was given a thousand yuan by that Zhongxin company.

This great unity, which still exudes the smell of ink, simply blinded his eyes.

Through this incident, Yang Zhongzhong believed that the faithful company that the girl said should have such a strength, otherwise, he would never give so much money to a translator who only translated some languages.

$50 million to gamble?!!

Isn't that?

Li Chengfeng was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the idea that he had just risen to go to Jiangcheng was suddenly dispelled.

If you want to talk about the rest, Li Chengfeng may not be able to believe it, but if he wants to take out 50 million US dollars to gamble in Europe, he will not believe this matter.

What is the concept of 50 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 100 million, almost 200 million yuan.

In China, if you want to say that at this time, a collective or individual enterprise can have hundreds of thousands, millions of yuan, he can still believe it, but if an individual casually takes out more than 100 million yuan to gamble, this matter is so fake that it can no longer be fake.

"Lao Yang, concentrate on driving! When I have time, I will send someone below to verify this matter, in a while! I have a meeting, so let's not talk about it. Li Chengfeng directly blocked what Yang Zhongzhong was going to say next, and even listed Yang Zhongzhong as an unreliable target.

It was precisely because of this gambling incident that Li Chengfeng arrived at Zhongxin Company nearly a year late.
