Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

Due to technical and patent reasons, Double R remained independent at that time.If the double R had also belonged to Leland at that time, maybe we would be able to make it domestically today, haha.

Since 71, the engine company that Double R has been relying on for money has also had problems. All the pressure is on Big B. The business situation is getting worse and worse. Even the money for the development of new models cannot be paid out. Finally unable to stand it anymore, it was sold to the Vickers Group at a low price.

However, after Vickers took over, he only strengthened the hematopoietic machine of Big B. There was nothing he could do about Double R itself. At that time, it set too high a standard for itself.Forced to pretend to be big, tore the egg.

If you study these high-end international brands carefully, you will find that they are all so ostentatious and hobbled along the way. The reason why they are noble is that Westerners want them to be noble.

No one knows more about these industrial situations than these established banks, so Peter shook his head when he heard what Zhang Xingming said, and during this period, John’s bankers were all focused on playing finance, playing with higher and higher leverage, and indulging in In the mentality of getting rich out of nothing, he has no interest in industry.

Zhang Xingming shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, my friend, you misunderstood, I am interested in Vickers, not you. I just need your kind help. Double R, big B , Double R engine, Coworth engine, 100% equity and patents of the four companies, as long as the transaction is completed, I will pay the price I should pay for my friend's kind help, I think it is probably worth at least 20 pounds."

Chapter 769 Industrial Elf

Peter took a deep breath.

As the Chief Investment Officer of Baring Bank, his annual salary income is about [-] pounds.

Throughout the 90s, the wage level in the world was not high, and all the things that changed the million-dollar annual salary happened after 2000, or even after 2005.

At this moment in 89, if you were doing wheel squatting, someone with an annual salary of [-] pounds would definitely be a high salary, and [-] pounds was the income only for the senior management of a real large company.For example, Li Sen, who bankrupted Ba Lin, as the investment director of Ba Lin Bank Xingjiapi, will only earn one hundred thousand dollars plus commission income in one year, which is less than fifty thousand pounds.That was nine years later.

Zhang Xingming looked into Peter's eyes and nodded slightly.

Peter exhaled the air in his chest, shook his head and said: "Dear Zhang, you have to know that although the status quo of these companies, uh, is not so satisfactory, they must be companies that have a lot of influence in John , This is very difficult."

He did not mention the Batumi agreement. Before 97, Batumi did not target Hong Kong Island.

Zhang Xingming said: "No move away, no factory relocation, Double R and Big B will always belong to John, I just want to own it."

Peter rubbed his hands, and Zhang Xingming said: "In the early stage, my team in London had made preliminary contact with Double R and Vickers. I came here this time because things have progressed. Of course, the world There is no absolute and reliable thing, so I need your help."

Peter pinched his nose and said: "This matter needs to be passed through the Congress. It must be necessary. It's not that simple. Those big-bellied gentlemen can't do business, but everyone is good at talking nonsense. The empire's industry, automobiles, and the economy, This terrible appearance is the result created by these gentlemen, and I have no way to convince them."

Zhang Xingming said: "No, no, it's not that serious. I don't need you to help me convince Congress. I just need you to help me convince Thatcher to invite her to come here as a guest. Of course, if you can use the influence of Baring Bank It would be better if Her Majesty could speak a word, and the value of this friendship would be even higher. My friend."

Peter thought for a while, scratched his hair, then looked at Zhang Xingming and said, "Not moving? Not moving the factory?"

Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "It will always be the flower of Crewe. I promise. Don't you forget, I am also Citizen John."

Peter added: "Can't reveal a bit of technology to your home country, although, it's actually a bit old."

Zhang Xingming said: "Now China's auto technology has surpassed Double R, I guarantee the authenticity of every sentence I say."

Peter froze for a moment: "Wow? What are you talking about?"

Zhang Xingming nodded again and said, "I said, the Chinese car technology has surpassed Double R."

Peter shook his head: "Hey hey hey, how is this possible, this is not what a friend should say. I am an adult."

Zhang Xingming smiled, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll take you to have a look, try it yourself, and then we'll talk about it."

Zhonghua Automobile Factory, uh, Hong Kong Island Mercedes-Benz Motor Company has set up a store in London, but it has not yet opened, and the sample car has already been delivered. Zhang Xingming's original idea was to wait for the major European and American countries to unveil it in a unified manner, so that the influential It will be bigger, and it is not bad for the sales of this day or two.

Peter was a little dizzy, followed Zhang Xingming out of the Kailaiqi Hotel, Li Chun drove, Xu Xiaoya sat in the co-pilot as an interpreter, Zhang Xingming and Peter sat in the back seat, and the Rover P8 ran all the way to the city center.

Peter touched the decoration inside the car and said, "P8, the queen's baby, has been spoiled by these gentlemen."

At the intersection of Belgrave (Sable and Grove) Avenue and Lubus (Jackal) Avenue, opposite to Pimlico Church, there is a triangular piece of land with several buildings rising from the ground. This is the investment company of John Valverde. headquarters.

It is only two kilometers away from the Buckingham Palace of John's royal family, which is regarded as a prime location in London. If John's economic depression was not caught up with, it would be a joke to buy land here, and that would not be possible.

There are not many high-rise buildings in the wheel squat even in later generations, because in this era, the city center is basically a building with six, seven, seven or eight floors. Get famous.On the side of the wheel squat, at a glance, the towering towers are basically church spires.

The Vervo Tower is the tallest modern building in this area.

The car parked downstairs.This is a standard peaceful building complex, with office buildings, hotels, commercial spaces on the lower four floors and underground commercial spaces, but most of them have not been used yet.There is no plan for the overseas development of shopping malls and supermarkets, and the things that have been built will be empty here.The hotel is starting to be renovated.

At the narrowest part of the plot in the southwest corner, the width here is only more than [-] meters. A three-story steel structure glass house was built here. This is the sales office of Zhonghua Auto in Wheelsquat.

After several people got out of the car, Zhang Xingming looked up at the building and said, "This is my property. This is an investment company. This is my hotel. Unfortunately, it hasn't been renovated yet. However, it also happened to be unfinished. Otherwise, you and I wouldn’t know each other. It’s really fate.”

Xu Xiaoya rolled her eyes while translating: Smelly shameless.

Peter was also looking up, and said: "We have been paying attention to this building since it was built. I didn't expect it to be your property. It's really amazing." There was a bit of disappointment in his tone. Foreigners also have a sense of national honor. They are also proud of such a modern building that can be ranked in the world, but it's just that it has become a Chinese one, so they will naturally feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Xingming patted Peter on the shoulder and said, "I am from Hong Kong Island and a citizen of John."

Peter shook his head. The return of Hong Kong Island in 97, except for China, probably only the people of John are most concerned about this matter.

Zhang Xingming made a gesture of invitation and said, "Come on friend, let's experience my car."

A staff member here has already opened the locked gate, because there is a barrier inside, and the inside of the house cannot be seen from the street, Peter glanced in along the gate: "Wow, Zhang, this is your car ? Did you produce it?" He strode in, followed by Zhang Xingming.

The standard modern 4S store layout is spacious, bright and dignified, and the crystallization of the current industry is shining under the light.

"Cake seller, oh cake seller. Crooked and solid. Biyu kick no. It's unbelievable. Zhang, it's unbelievable. This is a work of art."

The products of the 2010s appeared in front of the people in 89, what kind of shock was that.

Zhang Xingming said: "This is produced by my car factory in Fengtian, China, Peter, you can sit on it and experience it yourself."

Peter rubbed his hands and looked at the car and asked, "Is it possible? Is it really possible?"

Chapter 770

Zhang Xingming smiled and motioned to the staff.The staff took out the car key, unlocked the car with the central control, the headlights around the car flashed, and there was a beep. This is a configuration that is common in street cars in later generations, but it is so unbelievable in this era.

The staff opened the car door for Peter, invited Peter to sit in, and then began to explain and introduce. Zhang Xingming and Xu Xiaoya stood aside and watched.

In order for Mr. Peter to have a better understanding of this car, Zhang Xingming signaled to the staff to guide Peter to drive the car out. After 15 minutes, Peter jumped out of the car flushed with excitement: "Perfect, Zhang, This is the automobile, the genie of industry. It deserves a noble name, so tell me its name aloud."

Zhang Xingming said: "Forwards, Mercedes-Benz. So, Peter, do Double R and Big B have such technology?"

Peter froze for a moment, shook his head regretfully, and said, "No, this is a car from the future. My God. Those gentlemen won't be able to make it in another 20 years. I'm in love with it."

Zhang Xingming said: "So, if I use these technologies and engines on the double R and the big B, what do you think Peter?"

Peter looked at the top-of-the-line luxury Mercedes-Benz and said, "That's so wonderful, it will be a double R honor, Zhang, you are a great person." Zhang Xingming blushed a little.These foreigners, really, are there any such blunt compliments?

Peter touched the car's dazzling metallic paint and said, "Zhang, why don't you give this elf to our queen, the elf-like Forwards, I think only the queen deserves to have it." He turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xingming.

Zhang Xingming raised his eyebrows, oh shit, I didn't think of this, this foreigner's mind is changing so fast.

After clapping his palms together, Zhang Xingming said to the person in charge of the investment company who was with him: "With a car with the highest configuration, with the most luxurious interior and decorations, I will present it to Her Majesty the Queen in the name of Hong Kong Island Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory."

The person in charge nodded: "Jess, Si'er." He turned his head and called for arrangements. Although it was not open for business, all the staff here are already in place, and there are people for any job.

Peter finally calmed down and said to Zhang Xingming: "I think the kind help among friends should be worth such a car. What do you think, my friend?"
