Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"As for the purchase of raw materials, our aim is to give priority to Saudi Arabia and its friendly neighboring countries. Of course, the products must be price competitive. For example, your country is now building a petrochemical industry, and many raw materials used in automobiles are actually cheaper to buy from you. For example, plastic parts for automobiles..."

In the factory, Xu Huasheng continued to say that although this foundry is invested by Saudi Arabia and the future funds will also be provided by Saudi Arabia, the main manager is Shanhai Automobile Group.

This factory purchases raw materials. In the face of the same price, it will give priority to buying from Saudi Arabia and its younger brother countries, followed by China.

Saudi Arabia is now building a petrochemical industry, and the petrochemical industry will be good in the future. There is definitely no problem in producing some things used in automobiles.

For example, plastic products used in automobiles, this thing is absolutely competitive in Saudi Arabia, after all, their raw materials are cheap, and oil is very cheap in Saudi Arabia.

With this automobile factory, Saudi Arabia will try to establish some automobile-related industrial chains in Saudi Arabia in order to reduce the cost of the whole vehicle. For example, if automobiles need steel, Saudi Arabia may build a steel mill. Cars need tires, so Saudi Arabia may build a tire factory. Cars need glass, so Saudi Arabia may even build a glass factory.

These factories are directly used as supporting factories for this car factory. The scale may not be too large, but at least Saudi Arabia has it. Saudi Arabia did not have many things before. Now, relying on this factory, these supporting factories are directly built.

And these industrial chain factories will increase Saudi Arabia's industrial strength. The products produced by these factories are not only supplied to car 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 cost 2.5 billion US dollars to build, and Shanhai Automobile Group will take more than half of the profit from selling cars. After selling a car, the net profit of Saudi Royal Automobile Company may be only a few hundred US dollars. It will take a long time to earn back this investment by selling cars.

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

Salman nodded. He had no opinion on this cooperation mode, but was looking forward to it. Salman also knew that he could not expect too much now.

Saudi Arabia had nothing before, and now it is a great progress to be able to produce cars by OEM. Start with OEM, then slowly localize the parts, and finally consider developing its own technology, and finally develop its own national automobile industry.

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

Xu Huasheng said again, and this made Salman's eyes light up, and his eyes were full of expectations.

Salman had told Xu Huasheng before that he hoped Shanhai Automobile Group could help the Saudi royal family design a car. This brand should belong to Saudi Arabia itself. It doesn't matter whether the car of this brand makes money or loses money, because Saudi Arabia mainly wants this car to be the face of its own country.

Looking at Salman's expression, Xu Huasheng took a picture album again and opened it, and Salman also came over directly.

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 the car is actually a falcon spreading its wings to hunt.

This falcon is very lifelike, and the most important thing is that the entire falcon logo is made of pure gold. The eyes of the falcon are like two black gems, which are very sharp. The whole logo gives people the feeling of being domineering, and it fully shows the murderous aura of the falcon when it kills its prey.

The falcon is a totem in the hearts of Arabs, and playing with falcons is also the favorite thing of the top Arab rich. Now this car uses the image of the falcon as the logo, which makes Salman very satisfied.

Looking at the body again, it is mighty and domineering. Although the straight lines are not round enough, they are very domineering and full of aura, which is completely unlike the cars of this era.

The more Salman looks at this car, the more he likes it.

Xu Huasheng smiled at Salman's expression. It would be strange if he didn't like it. Because the car Xu Huasheng brought out was the design of the third-generation Toyota Century, which was only launched in 2017. A design that was more than a decade ahead of its time was naturally very shocking in this era.

It was just that Xu Li replaced the Phoenix logo of Toyota Century with the Falcon logo. Plagiarism of the dayXu Huasheng is very comfortable with the design.

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. The main feature is 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 an ultra-luxury model, with a length of 5335 mm, a width of 1930 mm, a height of 1505 mm, a wheelbase of 309 mm, and a four-seat design. This car uses 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 gearbox is equipped with an 8AT automatic gearbox. In sports mode, it only takes 4.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers. The top speed is 306 kilometers per hour. There are 16 airbags in the car. At the same time, this car has a total of 12 speakers in the car, which is a walking concert hall. At the same time, it is also very powerful in terms of safety..."

Xu Huasheng began to introduce this car to Salman.

This car focuses on luxury and uses the most advanced technology. It does not consider cost, but only considers technology, safety, luxury, and technology.

The body is made of special aluminum alloy, which is a top-level aviation material. It focuses on light weight and good performance, but the price is also relatively expensive.

Other places are also desperately stacked with materials. The power adopts a 6.0T twin-turbocharged V12 engine with a maximum horsepower of 800 horsepower, which is extremely powerful. If the W16-cylinder engine is not too large, Xu Huasheng would like to put in the W16-cylinder engine he knows, and the power of that thing is more than 1,200 horsepower.

The power is strong, the gearbox is expensive, and everything else is expensive. In short, the same principle is that expensive things should never be cheap. The car logo is made of pure gold, and the eyes of the eagle are directly polished with natural black gemstones.

The safety of the whole car is also very high. Even if it is an ordinary version, it is not a problem to resist ordinary guns. If it is a specially customized bulletproof version, the safety level is close to the beast of the President of the United States.

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

The technology that will be everywhere in the streets decades later is now a superb technology. There are also many comfortable configurations, including electric seats, seat heating, seat ventilation, seat massage, car refrigerator, etc.

When Xu Huasheng finished speaking, Prince Salman was confused. He didn't understand these technologies at all, but this did not prevent Salman from thinking of two words in his mind after listening: Awesome!
