Chen Muwu felt that there should be no way to continue this topic, it was not enough to talk about aliens, and here in Little Marcus, a new type of "underground man" has been imagined.

If you talk about it for three days and three nights, will you continue to imagine all kinds of other strange things?

For example, a super gentleman with a civilization stick, a tuxedo, and a top hat;

the British captain, dressed in red and wearing a bearskin hat, who fainted from the heat at every turn;

Steam Iron Man, powered by coal-fired steam engines;

Bruce Wayne, the first Gotham Earl who wears a bat mask and also has no superpowers;

……

The winner of the 10,000-year copyright lawsuit, Di Mouni, has just been founded for a few years, and they are about to give DC and Marvel superheroes a pot.

Chen Muwu quickly changed the topic, and couldn't let Lou continue to be crooked.

"Mr. Wallenberg, I want to say that you came all the way from Sweden to England, so you shouldn't have talked to me about whether there are aliens in the universe in the world, right?"

Since Chen Muwu has already talked to this extent, it would be rude for Little Marcus to continue talking, although he really wants to find out what the situation of aliens is.

"Of course not, I just read the newspaper all the way when I came, and I was curious about this new idea you proposed."

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense," Chen Muwu directly came to deny the three times, "This is completely the conclusion of Professor Fermi's calculation from the University of Rome, no, I watched his calculation process and proved that he did not make any mistakes." What about the proposal to build a car factory in Sweden, what are you and your family thinking about? ”

Things finally got back to the point, but when he heard Chen Muwu's question, little Marcus showed an embarrassed look on his face.

"Well, I haven't told my family about this yet."

"Why?"

"Dr. Chen, because you're not in Sweden, you may not be very clear. Now that Sweden's domestic car industry is in its infancy, as far as I know, there is already a new car company in Gothenburg, and it seems that their first car is about to roll off the assembly line. ”

"What's the name of that company?"

"I don't know what it's called, but I know that the bearing factory is called SKF, and our family has some stock of this bearing factory."

Marcus Jr.'s words are still very restrained, the Wallenberg family is not only a stock of SKF bearing factory, their family is actually the largest shareholder of this bearing factory.

"Is it called Volvo?"

Chen Muwu's question blurted out.

In order not to arouse suspicion, he added to the question: "I seem to have seen this message in the newspaper, 'Volvo', a Latin word that stands for rolling forward, and it is fitting to put it with a car." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, like the cars they produce, that's the name. Dr. Chan, you are truly knowledgeable. ”

Marcus Jr. nodded.

Damn, is it still a step too late?

Chen Muwu originally wanted to do it in one step, taking advantage of the time period when Volvo has not yet come out, he directly gave them a one-step approach and founded Geely as a car brand in Sweden.

But who would have thought that he had miscalculated the time and let Volvo emerge from the land of Scandinavia.

However, Chen Muwu was still a little reluctant, he wanted to see if he could get another piece of the pie.

"Mr. Wallenberg, what are your family's plans for the future of this automobile company?"

Marcus Jr. smiled bitterly: "Where there is any future planning, it is just a coincidence that this car can appear." SKF Bearing Factory was originally for the world's major automobile manufacturers to do bearing processing, the United States Ford and the United Kingdom Rolls-Royce are all purchased from us. In this case, there was an engineer in the bearing factory who wanted to try to see if he could assemble the car, so step by step, and finally came to this day.

"If I don't think of any surprises, SKF Bearings should still focus on the production of bearings, after all, Sweden's industrial technology is far ahead in the world.

"And this fledgling car industry, I think we can only try to sell it in Sweden. It must not be as good as Ford and General Motors in the United States, Rolls-Royce and Austin in the United Kingdom, and even Peugeot and Citroen in France, Fiat in Italy, and other well-established car companies in Italy, so how can it compete with others?

"The last Swedish company to try to do this was Ericsson, and you must have seen how miserable this company died in the end."

The more Marcus Jr. spoke, the more pessimistic he became, but in the end, he suddenly realized, and the expression on his face turned from worry to joy: "Yes, our car brand can also continue to implement the eastward expansion plan like Ericsson!" To the east of us, there is a vast market. Since the telecommunications industry can be opened, I think the automotive industry will also be opened. ”

Drawing inferences from business acumen is very good, but if Marcus Jr. really suggested to his family to go to Sulian to dump Volvo cars like Ericsson, then he would really suffer a waterloo in his business career and make the Volvo car brand die a miserable death.

Although they chose to come to Fong's for the telephone industry, it does not mean that they will also choose a start-up brand in Sweden for cars.

Ericsson was able to smoothly enter the Sulian market because it chose the time point when Western countries were still blocking Sulian, and grabbed a hand of the time difference, so it was able to gain a firm foothold.

However, Sulian's automobile industry should have started in the late twenties and early thirties, which was the period of the first five-year plan.

During this period, Sulian built the famous Gorky Automobile Plant in Nizhny Novgorod, which produced the Gaz cars, which were well known to the older generation of Chinese people.

The production line of the Gorky Automobile Factory was imported from the famous Ford Motor Company in the United States, and even entrusted Ford, the American automobile king, to help build the entire automobile factory in Sulian.

The reason why the American capitalists represented by Ford helped Su Lian, who had always been hostile to Su Lien, was because Su Lien's first five-year plan coincided with the economic crisis that involved almost every corner of the world.

To be able to cooperate with one of the world's top car manufacturers like Ford, a fool would choose Volvo, which only produced its first car in 1927.

It's not that Chen Muwu doesn't want to hit the ambition that Marcus Jr. has just flinched, but he can't say these words.

Could it be that he is going to ramble with Marcus Jr. from beginning to end, and finally come up with the prediction that Wall Street will soon have a financial crisis two years later and eventually sweep the world?

This is another price, and I will talk about it when I will win the Nobel Prize in economics.

But even if he hadn't told Marcus Jr. about it, the Wallenbergs wouldn't have gone bankrupt in the Great Depression, because they were backed by the whole of Sweden and suffered very little damage.

On the contrary, their rival, the match-based nouveau riche Kruger, will be devastated in the economic crisis, and in the end the family will be ruined, and he will be living in his apartment in Paris.

"Mr. Wallenberg, I think your idea is a bit naïve," Chen Muwu shook his head, "I think you have visited Sulian a few times since Ericsson went east, so you should know which country Russia is very close to in terms of industrial cooperation now, right?" ”

"Well, most of Sulian's current industry and military industry are supported by technical support from Germany."

After the end of the First World War, although the defeated Germany was subject to the Treaty of Versailles, which did not allow them to develop their navy and air force, nor did they allow them to possess heavy military equipment, they were also suppressed by Britain, France, the United States and even other powers in the field of civilian industry, and the overseas markets that they had built up with great difficulty were also lost.

There was no way, the Germans could only look at the outsider, Su Lien, who was excluded from the international order by the Western powers.

Beginning in the twenties, the two countries signed a series of economic, trade and military agreements, in which Germany provided the Soviet Union with various secret aids in terms of personnel, technology, funds, equipment, etc., in order to get the Soviet Union to allow Germany to establish military training bases and industrial bases on its territory.

This mutually beneficial situation between the two countries lasted until the United States entered the game at the end of the twenties, when Su Lien chose the more technologically advanced United States, and Germany, which had just emerged from the hyperinflation of the mark's rapid depreciation, fell into the Great Depression again, and then went in a different direction step by step.

"So you just listed so many car brands in Europe and the United States, why not mention the German car companies Daimler and Mercedes-Benz? Even Carl Benz, the founder of Mercedes-Benz, was the inventor of the world's first automobile.

"If the Suren want to buy cars and develop the automotive industry, why don't they cooperate with Germany?"

Although Su Lianren didn't actually do this, Chen Muwu's question directly made the fighting spirit that Little Marcus had just ignited instantly dissipate.

"Alas," he sighed, and subconsciously asked, "Dr. Chen, what do you say this company should do?" Is it to work hard to deepen the Swedish domestic market, or should a strong man break his wrist and stop losses in time? ”

It was Chen Muwu's idea to buy Ericsson at the beginning, so this time Marcus Jr. still hoped that the Oriental sitting opposite could come up with a solution for him.

If nothing else, the efforts to deepen the domestic market should be the path taken by Volvo in the early days of its establishment, and then after the Second World War, it gradually played the card of safety innovation.

"You sell me a stake in this company, and I'll tell you what to do."

Chen Muwu said half-jokingly that he would not give others an idea to make a fortune in vain.

Of course, he didn't believe that Marcus Jr. would sell all the shares of Volvo to him.

"Don't laugh, Dr. Chen, I know you must have thought about what to do about this, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to write me such a letter years ago."

"I wanted to find a suitable place near Stockholm and build a world-class observatory. And this car factory, like other factories in Wallenberg, should also allow Chinese workers to be sent for internships and jobs. ”

Since Hubble has the intention of doing research with Chen Muwu, he must not treat this great astronomer badly.

Moreover, the Swedish crown prince has long wanted to build a magnificent observatory in the capital, and Chen Muwu's request can be regarded as satisfying the wishes of His Royal Highness the crown prince at the same time.

As for the idea of allowing Chinese workers to work in automobile factories as interns and learn technology, he only has such an idea at present, and he does not want to really put it into practice.

In the next 20 or even 30 years, the most needed industrial products in China will not be automobiles.

The first is that the country is always in turmoil, the second is that there are not even a few decent roads, and the third is that all the oil is imported and all of it is expensive, and there is no environment for the development of automobiles.

Cars play little role in the country, and even gift-givers look down on domestic cars, and they are imported cars like Stipunk and the president's same Cadillac at every turn.

For China in the next few decades, even the aircraft industry will be more valuable than the automobile industry, not to mention the unrealistic thing of pulling a production line to build airplanes, even building a few aircraft repair plants can also slightly improve the combat effectiveness of the army in the face of itself.

I am afraid that the funds of the aircraft repair plant will be put into the wallet of the secretary general of the aviation committee, and then deposited into a private bank account in the United States after various clever packaging.

Otherwise, Chen Muwu really had an impulse to let the Wallenberg family behind Marcus Jr. get Saab out decades in advance.

- Of course, not the Saab who built the car, but the one who built the airplane.

A small observatory is nothing to the Wallenberg family, and so many factories have agreed to the dispatch of Chinese workers, and it is not bad for a small car factory.

Marcus Jr. happily agreed to Chen Muwu's request, and offered to say that as long as the car factory could stand on its feet and make a profit, he would donate 5% of the annual profits to fund the school in Sweden.

Chen Muwu, who reaped the unexpected joy, only then did he tell the Duke of York that he had fooled the Duke of York years ago, and he took out a model of the seat belt and told Marcus Jr. that this new car is the main safety in the world.

He also said that when necessary, he could move out of the Swedish royal family to endorse it, and the Americans, who did not have a king, preferred the kings and nobles of Europe.

They don't produce civilian cars like the Ford Model T, they just make high-end luxury goods if they want to.

Hearing the chatter, Little Marcus nodded again and again, but Chen Muwu, who seemed to be a little dry, was still not satisfied, and he suddenly remembered another thing: "By the way, since you plan to develop the automobile industry, do you Sweden want oil?" As long as you open Chrysostom, I ......"
