Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Lin Kaifeng's words surprised everyone.

The United States is the boss of the Western camp. How does Lin Kaifeng know everything that is happening within Western countries?

The Dragon Kingdom was isolated from the outside world for a long time, and it was only two or three years before it opened its doors to the outside world.

As a Dragon citizen, Lin Kaifeng not only has a clear understanding of the international market, but also has a detailed analysis of the mentality of the US officials.

Only the American elite know that the US government is ready to strike the island country.

Automobiles, home appliances, steel, semiconductors, textiles, and all kinds of manufacturing industries will be included in the US's crackdown range.

The hardest hit product was not household appliances, but cars.

The United States is a country on wheels, and cars are the core lifeline of the United States.

We cannot let the island countries surrender and make the choice to compromise.

The U.S. auto industry will be in a long-term downturn.

Lin Kaifeng said: "We are friends now. Since we are friends, I think we can speak directly. Why was your country's automobile industry hit so hard by the island country? First, the cost of the island country's automobiles is cheap. Secondly, the performance of your country's automobiles is really..."

Lin Kaifeng hesitated to speak.

The directors and senior executives from Best Buy Group all showed helpless expressions.

Several people at the scene didn't know what Lin Kaifeng wanted to express.

I simply want to tell you that the reason why people buy Japanese cars in large numbers is because the failure rate of American-made cars is too high.

In addition to the outrageous failure rate, the maintenance costs are also frighteningly high.

The most terrible thing is that the current development of the U.S. automobile industry has encountered the oil crisis, which is a headache for all automobile companies.

The biggest difference between American cars and Japanese cars is fuel consumption.

The oil crisis not only affected the sales of automobiles in the United States, but also affected consumers' spending costs.

For the same type of car, cars made in Japan are more fuel efficient.

For economic reasons, ordinary Americans will definitely give priority to cars from the island nation.

As of last year.

The island country exports more than 2.6 million cars to the United States, accounting for 80% of the total number of cars imported into the United States.

Correspondingly, the output of the U.S. domestic automobile industry has dropped from tens of millions of vehicles at its peak to less than eight million.

In just one year, the U.S. auto industry has seen an unprecedented wave of bankruptcies.

A large number of automobile sales companies went bankrupt, and the unemployment rate of automobile-related workers reached 600,000.

Joseph interjected, “Once we form a joint venture, we will not only sell household appliances, but also cars?”

Lin Kaifeng crossed his hands and said slowly, "Island country cars are selling like hot cakes in your country because of their cheap prices, simple repairs, and low maintenance costs. If Dragon Country manufactures new cars that are superior to island country cars, with lower maintenance costs and more fuel efficiency, and puts a U.S.-made brand on them, do you think this car will sell like hot cakes?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Among Lin Kaifeng's many introductions, the last few sentences made everyone take it seriously.

The cost of oil has already caused inflation in some cities in the United States.

Under the influence of inflation, people's purchasing power began to decline.

The island country's cars, which claim to be fuel-efficient, have become the first choice of American people.

If Longguo can produce new cars that are more fuel-efficient than island country cars.

If you put a label on it as a US-made product, it’s hard not to cause a frenzy of buying.

Lin Kaifeng said in a playful tone: "President Steve, distinguished gentlemen, we are troubled by only one problem. If your company can register a global patent for our car, once the global patent is obtained, whether it is home appliances or fuel-efficient cars, it will surely bring unprecedented profits to both of us, and completely drive the island country out of your country's commercial market."

"The United States regards the island country's companies and products as its number one enemy. We, the Dragon Country, and the island country, have an irreconcilable feud. We all have a common enemy. I don't think that during the cooperation process, either of us will take the initiative to jump out and hold us back."

President Steve nodded and asked, "I personally admire the beautiful blueprint planned by Mr. Lin, but in the field of automobile manufacturing, you must admit that the island country's technology is far superior to yours."

"Everything you said is just your personal opinion. How can you make us believe that your company can produce a new car that is more fuel-efficient than the island country's cars?"

Lin Kaifeng held up five fingers and said calmly: "I can't prove it, but our country can prove it."

Looking at the fingers that Lin Kaifeng stretched out, President Steve asked in confusion: "How did your country prove it?"

Lin Kaifeng said word by word: "The five fingers I extended represent the five advantages of our country."

"First, the two bombs and one satellite; second, nuclear submarines; third, hundreds of thousands of manufacturing companies across the country; fourth, semiconductor technology that is comparable to that of the island countries; and fifth, electronic computer technology."

"President Steve, distinguished gentlemen, a country that was able to produce two bombs and one satellite, nuclear submarines, semiconductor technology, and electronic computer technology on par with the global average while being attacked by two major powers in the East and the West, can't it produce more energy-efficient and fuel-efficient cars?"

President Steve remained silent.

Other top executives of the Best Group also showed thoughtful expressions.

From the 50s to the 60s, Longguo broke with the Soviet Union and the United States successively.

From then on, the two superpowers regarded Long Country as a serious threat.

They would sabotage and harass the Dragon Kingdom every now and then.

If any other country offended two superpowers at the same time, it would be impossible to develop industry, research two bombs, one satellite, and nuclear submarines.

We have not entered a state of civil unrest, thanks to the gods’ blessing.

The more severe the external forces' suppression, the faster the Dragon Kingdom will develop.

For thirty years, Longguo's research in semiconductors and electronic computers has always been consistent with the world's level.

This can be proved by the household appliances exported by Northern Machinery Company.

Without advanced semiconductor chips, how could Best Buy Group place large orders with Northern Machinery?

Buy an air fryer and an induction cooker.

Without a mature industrial system, how could Northern Machinery Company supply a large number of goods to Best Buy Group in a short period of time?

Mushroom bombs, ballistic missiles, and space satellites are collectively known as the "two bombs and one satellite."

This is a national treasure that only a big and powerful country can possess.

Is it true that a country that can produce two bombs and one satellite cannot produce better cars than the island countries?

President Steve's expression gradually became serious.

I felt a little admiration for the development of Longguo.

If it were an island country, it would face joint suppression from the Soviet Union and the United States.

Even if there had been no civil unrest, we would have been pushed back to the 19th century.
