Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

"As for the purchase of raw materials, our aim is to give priority to purchasing from Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries that are friendly to Saudi Arabia. Of course, the products must be price competitive. For example, your country is building a petrochemical industry, and many of the raw materials used in cars are actually here. The purchase price is cheaper, such as plastic parts for cars..."

Inside the factory, Xu Huasheng continued to say that although this foundry is invested by Saudi Arabia and will be funded by Saudi Arabia in the future, the main manager is Shanhai Automobile Group.

This factory buys raw materials. In the face of the same price, priority is given to purchasing from Saudi Arabia and its younger brother countries, followed by China.

Saudi Arabia is currently building a petrochemical industry, and the petrochemical industry will be good in the future. It's certainly okay to produce some stuff for cars.

For example, plastic products used in cars are absolutely competitive when produced in Saudi Arabia. After all, their raw materials are cheap, and oil is very cheap in Saudi Arabia.

With this automobile factory, Saudi Arabia aims to reduce the cost of complete vehicles. They will find ways to establish some automobile-related industrial chains in Saudi Arabia. For example, automobiles require steel, and Saudi Arabia may build a steelmaking plant. Cars need tires, and Saudi Arabia may build a tire factory. Cars need glass, and Saudi Arabia may even build a glass manufacturing factory.

These factories directly serve as supporting factories for this automobile factory. The scale may not be too large, but at least Saudi Arabia has one. There were many things that Saudi Arabia did not have before. Now we can directly build these supporting factories based on this factory.

These industrial chain factories will increase Saudi Arabia's industrial strength. The products produced by these factories are not only supplied to automobile factories, but their products can also be supplied to all walks of life in Saudi Arabia and even to neighboring countries.

This is also the main reason why Saudi Arabia spent money to build this factory. After all, the factory was built for US$25 billion, and Shanhai Automobile Group will take more than half of the profit from selling the car. After selling one car, the net profit received by the Royal Saudi Automobile Company will be It might only be a few hundred dollars, and it would take a long time to make back that investment by selling the car.

Although Saudi Arabia is a desert country, it has been exported by Xu Huasheng and has lofty ambitions to develop manufacturing. If the manufacturing industry is really developed, Saudi Arabia can reduce the proportion of the oil economy in the national economy and make the national economy more secure.

Salman nodded, not having any objections to this method of cooperation, but looking forward to it. Salman also knows that he can’t expect too much now.

In the past, Saudi Arabia had nothing, but now it is a big improvement to be able to OEM cars. Start with OEM, then slowly localize parts and components, and finally consider developing your own technology, and finally develop your own national automobile industry.

"By the way, Your Highness, there is another car. Didn't you want us to help you design a car brand in Saudi Arabia and design a car for the royal family? Now the design plan has come out..."

Xu Huasheng said again, and these words made Salman's eyes light up, full of expectation.

Salman told Xu Huasheng before that he hopes Shanhai Automobile Group can help the Saudi royal family design a car. This brand must belong to Saudi Arabia. It doesn’t matter whether this brand of car makes money or loses money, because Saudi Arabia mainly wants this car. Cars are the face of their country.

Looking at Salman's expression, Xu Huasheng took an album and opened it again, and Salman went over to it.

Xu Huasheng slowly opened the album, and a rendering of a car appeared in front of Salman.

The black body looks full of aura, and the logo of this car turns out to be a hunting falcon with its wings spread.

This is a lifelike falcon, and the most important thing is that the entire falcon logo is made of pure gold. The falcon's eyes are like two black gems, very sharp. The entire car logo gives people the feeling of being domineering, completely showing the murderous aura of a falcon when it hunts its prey.

The falcon is a totem in the hearts of Arabs, and playing with it is also a favorite thing for the top Arab rich. The car now uses the image of a hunting falcon as its logo, which makes Salman very satisfied.

Looking at the body again, it looks powerful and domineering. Although the straight lines are not rounded enough, they are very domineering and full of aura, completely unlike the cars of this era.

The more Salman looked at this car, the more he liked it.

Xu Huasheng looked at Salman's expression and laughed. It would be strange if he didn't like it. Because the car Xu Huasheng took out was the design drawing of Toyota's third generation Century, and this car was only launched in 2017. Designs that are more than ten years ahead of this era are naturally very shocking when presented in this era.

It’s just that Xu Li replaced the Toyota Century’s Phoenix logo with an Eagle logo. Plagiarizing the design of Xiaoli, Xu Huasheng felt at ease.

Follow Toyota's path and leave Toyota with nowhere to go.

The appearance is domineering, and the interior is also very luxurious. It looks more luxurious than the original Toyota Century. It focuses on luxury. The central control screen is a huge LCD screen, which looks very high-end and technological in this era.

"Your Highness, this car is designed by Shanhai Automobile Group for your Royal Automobile Group. This is a super luxury model with a length of 5335mm, a width of 1930mm, a height of 1505mm, a wheelbase of 309mm, and a four-seater design. This car It adopts the most advanced all-aluminum body and is equipped with intelligent air suspension. In terms of power, it is equipped with a V12 twin-turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 820 horsepower. The transmission is equipped with an 8AT automatic transmission. In sports mode, it only takes 4.6 to accelerate from 306 kilometers to 16 kilometers. seconds, with a top speed of 12 kilometers per hour, airbags throughout the car, and a total of speakers in the car. It is a walking concert hall and is also very powerful in terms of safety..."

Xu Huasheng began to introduce this car to Salman.

This car is branded as luxurious and uses the most advanced technology. It does not consider cost, but only considers technology, safety, luxury and technological scope.

The body is made of a special aluminum alloy. This aluminum alloy material is a top aviation material. It is mainly lightweight and has good performance, but it is also relatively expensive.

Other places are also desperately stacking materials. The power is a 6.0T twin-turbocharged V12 engine, with a maximum horsepower of 800 horsepower, and the power is extremely manic. If the W16-cylinder engine hadn't been too big, Xu Huasheng would have wanted to put the W16-cylinder engine he knew into it. That thing would have more than 1200 horsepower.

The power is powerful, the gearbox is expensive, and everything else is expensive. In short, the purpose is to use expensive ones rather than cheap ones. The car logos are all made of pure gold, and the eyes of the falcon are directly polished with natural black stones.

The safety of the entire car is also very high. Even the ordinary version has no problem with resisting ordinary guns. If it is a specially customized bulletproof version, the security level is comparable to that of the US President's beast.

Moreover, this car also has many intelligent configurations that are not available in this era, such as 360-degree surround view of the bad streets of the future, reversing radar, adaptive cruise system, automatic braking system, etc.

A technology that would have been useless on the street a few decades later is now a top-notch technology. There are also many comfortable configurations, including electric seats, seat heating, seat ventilation, seat massage, and car refrigerator.

When Xu Huasheng finished speaking, Prince Salman was confused. He didn’t understand. He didn’t understand these techniques at all, but this did not prevent Salman from saying two words in his heart after listening: Awesome!
