When I am reborn in Hong Kong, I just want to lie down

Just when Li Bu returned to the mainland to visit his relatives, another company called Carl Power settled in the Science and Technology Park in Los Angeles. This is a start-up company specializing in the manufacturing of automobiles and agricultural machinery. Since settling in, it has purchased some patents and There are some agricultural machinery companies, such as tractors, harvesters, etc., some of which are already a generation behind. However, they can only buy them for some patents. These may not be of interest to some leading companies, but to this new start-up that is like a blank slate. The enterprise is the foundation. After settling in, it will start to set up a laboratory and purchase some technology patents to absorb them. Based on these, it will carry out secondary development and the research and development of some materials.

Carl once called Peter to complain: "Boss, there is nothing here. The laboratory is still under construction. What do you want me to do?"

Peter saw his younger brother complaining and smiled: "Karl, my brother, you don't have nothing. You have money. There are already people outside acquiring patents or production lines. You just need to organize these people to produce. If you If the organization is not good, leave it to the people below and just keep an eye on it."

Carl also laughed. He was just a street kid. Because he was slippery and adhered to the rules of the street, he was chosen by Peter. It was really terrible to be the CEO of Carl Power Company, but Peter gave him a big cake. .

"Karl, I have spent a lot of effort to get you to this position. You don't need to do anything. You just need to be your mascot. You don't want to go to the streets to fight for a few dollars with those people anymore, do you? "

"Boss, I understand, don't worry."

"Just supervise those people. If you don't understand, just come and ask me." Peter was very generous and reassured his younger brother.

……

Now, Carl Power is no longer a shell company. In addition to money, it also has many patents, and it continues to actively acquire patents for various power machinery. In the science and technology park, there is a large area of ​​land used to build engine factories.

Carl and the others acquired all the engine patents of several agricultural machinery companies. Why did they acquire these outdated engine patents?The current economic crisis in America is not an economic crisis in other countries. Japanese cars have begun to rise, and there are no opportunities to acquire cars from other countries. Now we can only develop them ourselves. We have improved them from some purchased agricultural machinery engines and use them now. materials to change the diesel engine into a gasoline engine.This inspiration comes from Ferrari, which was the earliest tractor manufacturer.

In addition to these, Europe has also acquired some engines and other patents from the previous generation of cars. Although America is a country on wheels, the automobile industry is naturally very strong, but Europe is the same, or even stronger, and Japan and South Korea are latecomers. Taking the lead, it defeated North American cars with its fuel efficiency and economy.

Young people who are engaged in mechanical majors have very big ideas, and their progress is very fast. If they can't make it bigger, they can change it to a smaller one, but they still have some skills. Carl has recruited many top students from surrounding universities and has also cooperated with nearby universities to establish So far, Li Bu has invested nearly 5000 million US dollars in the Materials and Power Laboratory through various funds, which shows his determination to become the first automobile company to enter the mainland.

I received news from the laboratory that an experimental model has been completed. Karl looked at the experimental data and found that the speed of this engineering prototype car is very impressive, with a top speed of 70 kilometers per hour, but other aspects are very good. In one sentence, it saves fuel. , at least it will not blow up the cylinder, and the cost is very low, one-third of the engines currently on the market. The main disadvantage is that the speed is too slow.

……

Li Bu was still in Shanghai when someone came over and said something in his ear. The person next to him who was discussing cooperation also looked over. When the person left, a smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone, excuse me, you can chat slowly." Li Bu came out of the conference room and returned to the hotel. The phone here can make international long distance calls.

"Hey, Peter, do you know what happened with Karl?"

"Yes boss, but that one is too low."

When Li Bu heard what the other party said, he said with some humor: "The ones we need here don't need to be too high-level. That one can be upgraded in the future. You guys can discuss it and arrange an inspection team to go to Shanghai for investment negotiations."

When having dinner with the Shanghai leaders in the evening, Bald Liang told them: "We have contacted a North American automobile company and asked them to invest in building a factory here. In a few days, they will send a delegation here."

Those leaders asked, “Which car company is it?”

Baldy Liang's expression remained unchanged, and he looked guilty in his heart, and said calmly: "It's Carl Power. This is a newly established automobile company that can produce agricultural machinery and automobiles. It has its own independent patent for engines."

They were still skeptical about what Bald Liang said. They had never heard of this company, but President Liang still had credibility. In recent days, they had negotiated many investment agreements, including the establishment of a joint venture textile and garment complete factory. , establishing joint venture food factories, daily necessities, packaging factories, chemical plants, and investment terminals.

The general framework has not yet been completed. In the future, a negotiating delegation will come here to negotiate, and Li Bu and the Liang family will leave here.

Three days later, the people from Carl Power flew over quickly. They only brought one kind of car this time, which was very low-end, but fuel-efficient. In terms of appearance design, Li Bu drew a copy for them before they arrived. It’s an eye-opener for those who come.

In the past two years, a joint venture car plan has been launched here, and many overseas car companies have been invited to invest. However, they believe that the mainland is too poor at this time. They should have investigated that a worker earns less than 100 yuan a month. How can I afford a car?It wasn't until 1984 that a German car brand established a joint venture here to produce some low-end cars.

Now Carl Power Company has a similar routine to this, and it has also come up with the only qualified engine at present, and other technologies are much simpler.

If you don’t have other technologies, just spend money to buy them. Anyway, there is no shortage of money. The US dollar will depreciate significantly in a few years. If you don’t spend it now, you will lose.

More than 200 billion U.S. dollars have not been spent yet, which makes Li Bu very distressed. He has to step up the acquisition. The car here can only produce a low-end car first, mainly because it is cheap. In addition to setting up an assembly workshop, there are also many accessories. The factory needs to be built, and all the contracts are signed now. It will take two years to build all the workshops.

It's almost two years. It's just a matter of modifying the engine. With North America's advanced material science and engine technology accumulated, it will be almost two years to perfect the existing engine.

The automobile industry cannot be completed overnight, and there is no point in being impatient. Then switch to other industries.

Li Bu has his eye on the luxury goods market. It is not as famous as it was in later generations. Some luxury goods companies are not that famous yet. So if you buy these now or buy the equity, even if the value cannot increase, there should be no problem in preserving the value.
