Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

In the automobile industry, whether it is FAW, BAIC, or tractor factories, agricultural machinery factories, etc., there is nothing that cannot be sold after production.

There are too few such factories in China now, and the entire country relies on just a few for production and manufacturing.

Therefore, they are all expanding production and need raw materials such as steel.

Of course, there are also a large number of places preparing to build factories, but if you want to form productivity, it will take two to three years.

For example, at the moment, Zeng Wangcai made a statement on behalf of BAIC, which even Sun Tao did not expect.

"I'm sorry, boss. He was joking." Sun Tao grabbed Zeng Wangcai and whispered, "You're crazy. Even if this isn't a formal meeting, you can't say that. Without the materials, there's no point in expanding production."

"Director Sun, you are kidding, right?" Zhou Tao stood up cheerfully. "Everyone knows that Comrade Zeng Wangcai is the backbone of BAIC. He controls half of BAIC. No, saying half is too little. Now he says he doesn't need it, then he really doesn't need it. It just so happens that we are all very hungry. If BAIC doesn't want it, we do."

"Our tractor factory is already struggling to make ends meet. Please give the ones you don't want to our tractor factory."

"We also want to..."

The small conference room suddenly turned into the African savannah, with a large group of jackals dividing up their prey.

Jiao Hua did not make any statement. He and Zeng Wangcai had known each other for many years and knew that Zeng Wangcai never joked in such occasions.

Moreover, he knew that Zeng Wangcai never did anything without certainty. Since Zeng Wangcai said he didn't need it, there was only one possibility. Zeng Wangcai had a place to get it, so he carried forward his style?

Jiao Hua took off his glasses and wiped the lenses with the corner of his clothes. He used this action to think about whether there were any other possibilities for Zeng Wangcai's behavior.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he could only admit with frustration that Zeng Wangcai had too many tricks.

"Hey, Comrade Zeng Wangcai, please come out with me!" Jiao Hua decided that it would be better to ask honestly.

Zeng Wangcai and Jiao Hua walked out of the small conference room together and came to the cold snow outside.

"Come, have a cigarette!" Jiao Hua took out a pack of unmarked white cigarettes from his pocket.

Zeng Wangcai took a look and said, damn, this is a special supply. It looks like it should be Huazi.

"No need, I have one!" Zeng Wangcai took out a metal cigarette box from his pocket, opened it and took out a cigarette of Yellow Crane Tower 1916.

Now when he smokes, he uses this kind of cigarette box and puts the cigarettes that are inconvenient to show in the box inside.

Zeng Wangcai has no particular preference for which brand of cigarettes to smoke. Recently, he likes the soft taste of Huanghelou, and for a while he particularly liked the pungent taste of Furongwang.

Now that he had cigarettes, Zeng Wangcai took out a retro kerosene lighter.

Clang!

Zeng Wangcai lit up his lighter and stepped forward to help Jiao Hua light his cigarette: "Brother Jiao, I know what you want to ask. Let me be honest with you. I will try my best to import raw materials from BAIC, Huayao, China Resources, and my own Wuling Research Center to make up for the shortage. But don't expect me to give it to others. This is not a matter of awareness. The development of my company is also very important."

"Import?" Jiao Hua took a puff of cigarette and said, "I guess this is the only way you can go. What do you import? Minerals?"

"Scrap steel is more convenient to use."

"Okay!" Jiao Hua was relieved and nodded, "You can ignore other things, but you have to take care of FAW's car exports."

"I know!" Zeng Wangcai reminded with a smile, "Kameta won't give us benefits for no reason. You should remind Director Zhou to be careful. I asked Director Sun to give the automotive air conditioning technology to FAW, and Director Zhou agreed."

"What do you mean?" Jiao Hua frowned.

"I'm worried that they will lower the price." Zeng Wangcai said, "We can sell our cars to anyone, but it's not cost-effective to sell them cheaply. That would be giving resources to the Japanese. We are short of materials now. We worked hard to make the cars. It's fine to sell them cheaply to our own people, but the meat is already in the pot. What's the point of selling it to outsiders?

"So, let's raise the price together. When we negotiate with the Japanese, the export price must not be too low."

"Well, I have to admit that you have considered a lot." Jiao Hua sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter. I will notify the Ministry of Industry."

Zeng Wangcai was relieved. With the coking company watching over him, he could not sell a single steel plate unless the Foreign Trade Department gave its approval.

Back in the meeting room, Zeng Wangcai had only one task left, which was to persuade Sun Tao to stop pushing and just listen.

Sijiucheng Hotel.

Kazuo Kameda returned to Sijiu City with Zhou Bo and stayed in this hotel.

This little Japanese guy seemed to have gotten used to life in China. While in the hotel, he was wearing a large flowery Northeastern uniform and had shaved his beard. If it weren't for his height and bow legs, he would look no different from any Chinese.

In the room, many Japanese soldiers gathered in front of Kameda.

"Everyone!" Kameda put his hands in his sleeves and paced, "I believe you have received the news from home. On behalf of the president, I implore you to pay attention to this matter and promote the export of automobiles."

"Hi!"

Zeng Wangcai really guessed it right. The Japanese did have a conspiracy, but it was not a big one.

As we all know, the Japanese are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong.

Kameda came to China to cooperate on behalf of Toyota. His original intention was to steal Zeng Wangcai's technology, seek cooperation with Wuling, and open up the international market. However, Wuling did not need to cooperate with Toyota. Wuling itself had Mason operating, and now Yellen has joined. The three companies together have sold to the world.

Toyota can only settle for the second best and seek the domestic market.

Later, facts proved that after the domestic development, the market was so large that even the Japanese were jealous.

Toyota originally wanted to control FAW and manage its sales, but later failed because Zhou Bo was very vigilant.

Toyota was helpless and suddenly discovered that the quality of cars manufactured by FAW was very high, and its standards were even higher than those in their own country in some aspects.

The things produced in the early years were indeed of very high quality, and Daihatsu was like that.

When Toyota calculated the price, it was shocked to find that it was cheaper than what they produced themselves. The labor costs at Toyota were too low.

So Toyota thought, they could import the cars, modify them themselves and sell them on. Even if the cars were eventually scrapped and recycled, selling them as scrap metal would still be more valuable than recycling their own cars, because other people's products are solid.

......

Boom, boom!

A dusty green train slowly stopped at the Sijiucheng Railway Station.

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu got off the bus in the crowd, followed by Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu.

This time, Chen Xueru and her husband did not go in the end. The people who went were fixed on the four people who got off the bus. It took more than a month and almost two months, and they did not spend the Spring Festival in the city.

"Well, thank you, Sister Xu, Brother Cai!" Xu Damao, wearing a mink coat, shook hands with Xu Huizhen. "This time, thanks to your introduction, otherwise our brothers' work would not have been completed so quickly, and it would have delayed your return."

"You're welcome. It's my own business." Xu Huizhen responded tiredly.

"Shazhu, you have to go next time." Cai Quanwu held Shazhu's hand and sighed, "Only if we two brothers join forces can we have a safe journey."

Cai Quanwu was not exaggerating, this train ride was far from peaceful.
