Chapter 598: Magnesium Man's Generosity

In the evening, Chen Shuting returned home and told Zhang Heping about the automobile production line order from Toyota of Japan.

"Honey, why did you suddenly agree to settle in Japanese yen today?" Chen Shuting sat on the sofa and tidied up the newspapers scattered on the coffee table for Zhang Heping who was reading a newspaper.

Zhang Heping said casually: "The Magnesium people have suppressed the Japanese economy. We need some yen to enter the Japanese stock market to prepare for future withdrawal of investment."

Chen Shuting was a little confused. "Didn't you say you wanted to buy the Wako Building and Mitsukoshi Department Store?"

"It's optional to buy it, it's just to give the Japanese a reason to settle in yen." Zhang Heping put down the newspaper, stood up and said, "Let's eat!"

Chen Shuting followed closely behind, "Husband, when the Japanese islanders negotiated the contract today, they wanted to eliminate some of the equipment they could produce and only buy the unmanned production line and the production island, and they lowered the price to 150 billion yen."

"You didn't agree!" Zhang Heping said, and walked into the kitchen.

"No!" Chen Shuting laughed, "They want to steal our technology, how can I give them a tuition waiver!"

"I asked them to go back and think about it before coming back. Anyway, the production of automobile batteries at the Shenzhen Battery Factory is not high, and the production of related equipment for the automobile production line also takes time, so there is no rush to sell."

Shanghai Volkswagen was established on March 3, but due to the smuggling of tens of thousands of cars from Hainan and the opening of the electric vehicle production line at the Heping Automobile Factory, it received very few orders for Santana and became a fellow sufferer with the Heping Automobile Factory.

However, within a few days, the restrictions on private car purchases were lifted, which led to an improvement in the sales of the two joint venture car manufacturers.

...

Shenzhen, Heping Auto Store.

"It's not that the Heping Automobile Factory can't produce a car with a longer range, but the 120-kilometer range is suitable for office workers in the city." A male salesperson said confidently to several dealers in baggy suits:

"Look at the three models of Feiyue, Benfang and Jingzhi. Their weights are so different, but their range is limited to 3 kilometers. Why?"

"If we can really come up with a few cars with a range of 1000 kilometers, wouldn't that allow us to travel long distances and transport goods? Will the government cancel the restrictions on private car purchases?"

"You're not right!" A middle-aged man in a black suit holding a mobile phone said dissatisfiedly, "Don't you see how many people working in the city can afford your car?"

又一个黑色西装男说道：“你这轿车卖16万6，只能开120公里，我们还不如加3万4买桑塔纳！”

"If we can't travel long distances, why would we buy a car?"

"Don't get excited! Don't get excited!" The male salesperson laughed, "Santana costs 20 yuan, and it burns gasoline, right?"

"nonsense!"

"Need I tell you? Do you think we don't know anything about cars?"

The male salesperson waited for the men to vent their dissatisfaction before continuing, "How much does a diesel generator cost?"

Diesel generator?

The men in suits were stunned and confused for a moment.

"Look at this Benfang 1.0 electric SUV. Is the trunk big?" The male salesperson walked to the back of a black SUV with a big butt, opened the trunk, patted a large cardboard box inside, and said with a smile: "A diesel generator is about the same size as this cardboard box. Can you put a few more barrels of diesel next to it?"

The male salesman looked at the dumbfounded dealers and continued, "Gasoline is harder to get than diesel, but towns with tractors can get diesel. If we use a diesel generator to charge electric vehicles, then we don't have to worry about the range issue, right?"

clap clap!

The male salesperson patted the cardboard box and said with a smile: "Everyone, once you leave this door, don't say that I told you about the diesel generator charging. I won't admit it!"

A fat man in a black suit asked excitedly, "Is this electric off-road vehicle priced at 6 yuan?"

“不是！”男销售走到车前，将放在车头的价格牌举了起来，指着牌子上的6个6，说道：“是6万6千6百6十6块6毛，六六大顺！”

A sharp-faced man in a suit said in dissatisfaction: "Aren't there five sixes on your TV commercials?"

The male salesperson put down the price tag and said nonchalantly, "If you don't want a lucky six, you don't have to pay the 6 cents."

The man in a suit who originally wanted to buy an electric car took out the empty cardboard box from the trunk of the SUV and tried to put it in the trunk of the electric car. He found that it didn't fit in, so he said helplessly: "Give me an electric SUV!"

"I want an electric off-road vehicle, too!"

“Do you sell diesel generators?”

The male salesperson smiled and said, "We definitely can't sell diesel generators, but we have voltage-stabilizing chargers that can protect the battery while charging and extend its life. One unit is only 3000 yuan!"

...

Capital, railway station.

A young girl stood at the door of the finance office of Capital Station and asked, "Chief Zhang, did you drive the electric mini car downstairs?"

"Don't shout, I'm just the deputy section chief!" Zhang Zhaodi interrupted with a smile, without giving a direct answer so as not to be considered as showing off.

"That's definitely our sister Zhang driving here!" A female accountant in the finance office said with a smile, "But we've already arranged the order of who will be in the car. If you want to take a ride, you can squeeze our brother-in-law, Section Chief Chang, out of the car, hehe!"

The gossiping young girl standing at the door asked innocently, "I saw a TV commercial saying that a sophisticated 1.0 mini electric car would cost 2 yuan?"

"Li Dongmei, put away your little thoughts!" said an old accountant in the finance office, "Xiao Zhang's car was given to her by her younger brother."

"Sister Chen, look at what you said, what can I think about it? I'm just curious." The girl named Li Dongmei at the door said, and looked at Zhang Zhaodi eagerly, "Deputy Section Chief Zhang, what does your brother do? Is he married?"

"Li Dongmei, what do you want to do?"

"If Sister Zhang's brother is not married, do you still want to be our Sister Zhang's sister-in-law?"

"Wow! Li Dongmei, our train station's loud speaker, can actually blush!"

"Dongmei, Xiao Zhang's brother already has seven children. Stop imagining things and just stay at work."

"Hehe!" Li Dongmei smiled awkwardly and asked curiously, "Deputy Section Chief Zhang, how often do you charge your car? Is the electricity expensive?"

Zhang Zhaodi, who was sorting documents, found that the finance office suddenly became quiet. Everyone was looking at her. She couldn't help but explain with a smile:

"My brother said that this car battery cannot be charged until it is exhausted, nor can it be charged for a long time. It is best to charge it when the battery is only 20% to 60% left, and it is only necessary to charge it to 80% to 95%."

"I drive back home now, about 13 kilometers, twice a day, and consume about % of the electricity. I need to charge it every other day. As for the electricity bill, it is not clear yet. I will have to wait until next month to find out."

"Four trips a day, about 4 kilometers; if we calculate it as 50 days a month, that's 28 kilometers!" Li Dongmei calculated on her fingers at the door of the finance office: "The TV commercial said that an electric car consumes about 1400 kilowatt-hours of electricity for 100 kilometers. The current electricity rate is 15 cents per kilowatt-hour. The electricity bill for this month is..." Pa pa pa!

Suddenly, the sound of an abacus was heard in the finance office.

Then, a young female accountant said, "14!"

...

As March came to an end, the electric vehicles in stock at the Heping Automobile Factory were finally sold out.

The quantity is not large, with the production in three months being only 3 vehicles.

Excluding the discount offered by Tingmei Trading Company for picking up cars, the financial report for the first quarter of this year for Heping Automobile Factory came out, with total costs of 1.2 million magnesium yuan and a net profit of 1.56 million magnesium yuan.

When the first quarter financial report data of Heping Automobile Factory was posted in the factory area and seen by those foreigners, Tingmei Trading Company finally sold the automobile production line!

"I'll ask you one last time!" Zhang Heping looked across the coffee table at his nephew Tang Lie, who was about to sign a contract, and asked coldly, "You only invested 1 million magnesium yuan?"

"Uncle!" Tang Lie was holding a pen, feeling a little uncomfortable when Zhang Heping stared at him. "Your question makes me feel a little nervous. Is there any problem with this batch of car production lines?"

"No problem!" Zhang Heping leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, "It's not a loss to use 1 million magnesium yuan to facilitate this contract and then open up the communications market in Magnesium! I only have one request of you, to promote the Internet connection between Europe and Magnesium and Hong Kong Island as soon as possible!"

The third nephew Tang Qiang said, "Uncle, if you were willing to let the Bank of Magnesium use your electronic transaction system and UnionPay system, and let Magnesium students study in your school, they would have connected to the Internet in Hong Kong long ago."

Zhang Heping did not respond, and he did not need anyone else to remind him.

The Peace Group boycotted the Chinese people, firstly to fight back against previous sanctions, and secondly to buy time for the development of Chinese computer systems and Chinese compilation software.

The reason why Oumei dare not connect to the Internet in Hong Kong Island now is that it is worried that after the connection, Zhang Heping and his disciples will attack Oumei's financial system network.

Because they have imitated the Eagle version of Security Guard and developed their own security defense software, but they are not confident enough to face Zhang Heping's so-called test.

Tang Lie waited for a while, and seeing that Zhang Heping did not try to stop him, he signed a contract to order three electric vehicle production lines and a contract to purchase 3 sets of automotive batteries. The total contract price was 30 billion magnesium yuan, of which batteries accounted for only 33 million.

After the contract is signed, Tingmei Trading can start to distribute the goods as soon as the deposit of 11 billion magnesium yuan is received, and will arrange people from the mainland to go to Magnesium to guide the installation of the equipment.

Just as Tang Ren and his two sons stood up, Zhang Heping said, "Shu Ting, call Miss Suzuki later."

"Tell her that the three sets of automobile production line quotas of Heping Automobile Factory have been sold. If Toyota still wants to buy production lines, we can help them contact other domestic automobile factories for quotas, but we will charge a 3% introduction fee!"

Tang Lie was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Uncle, can you still get the electric car production line indicators?"

"As long as the price is right, what can't we get?" Zhang Heping replied calmly.

The reason why Zhang Heping said this in front of Tang Ren and his son was to remind them that their competitors also include the Japanese!

...

Capital, a certain sea office.

"Old Li!" Mr. Hua, who was in charge of Zhang Heping's secret department, walked into the office excitedly and said happily, "It's sold! Three sets were sold at once!"

"Three sets?" Mr. Li, who was reading a newspaper, was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Are you talking about the electric car production line?"

"That's right!" Mr. Hua walked quickly to his desk, put his left hand on his waist, stretched out three fingers with his right hand, and said excitedly: "We sold 3 billion magnesium yuan! And 30 million magnesium yuan worth of car batteries!"

Mr. Li calmed down and asked seriously, "Which country's company bought it? I remember the previous intelligence feedback that Toyota in Japan wanted to buy two production lines with Japanese yen. Isn't it a Japanese company this time?"

Old Hua laughed and said, "It was the two guys from the Tang family who sold mobile phones. They registered a car manufacturing company in Magnesium Country, took the investment from the Magnesium people, and helped the Magnesium people buy an electric car production line!"

"A man from Magnesium?" Old Li frowned and said, "So, Leader Goose is not opposed to Magnesium's business."

Mr. Hua said seriously, "We have intelligence feedback that the Tang family has also registered a communications company in Magnesium, which may promote the connection between Magnesium's Internet and Hong Kong's Internet."

"Internet, electronic transaction system, UnionPay system, cloud server, satellite network..." Mr. Li muttered the key information he knew, pondered for a while, and asked, "Mr. Hua, Leader Yan has mentioned many times that he is waging an economic war with foreigners. Do you understand his strategy?"

Mr. Hua frowned when asked, put his hands on his waist, walked back and forth in the office, and said with doubt: "I have talked with Xiao Wang, the upline of Leader Goose, several times before. We both think that Leader Goose promotes the Internet not just to sell computer hardware!"

"Then there is the bank card association!" Mr. Hua stood in the office and looked at Mr. Li and said, "Any businessman who has mastered the absolute technology will not give up the transaction fee income of this bank card association!"

"That is an immeasurable benefit!" Mr. Hua said, and then took two steps in the office, and then said seriously: "I have a vague guess that he is trying to lure you into a trap, as he was able to make him give up such a huge benefit."

Mr. Li frowned and asked, "You mean, the Magnesium Country?"

"Hmm!" Mr. Hua walked to the back of his desk, stood next to Mr. Li, and whispered, "I heard that Europe and the United States are speeding up the construction of their own financial electronic trading system, and the leader's goal is likely to be the Wall Street of the United States!"

Mr. Li pondered for a while and said, "We need time to develop now. We can't create too big a conflict with the Magnesium Country!"

...

Sun Island, Eastern Capital.

Miss Suzuki knelt beside her and said solemnly, "Father, the people of Magnesium signed three electric vehicle production lines from Tingmei Trading through the Tang family. Tingmei Trading has now raised the price for us."

"How much has it increased?" Former Mayor Suzuki picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea calmly.

Miss Suzuki said with dissatisfaction: "Ten percent!"

Former Mayor Suzuki put down his teacup, thought for a while and said, "After discussion, domestic engineers all believe that with our existing technology, we can replicate the production line of the Heping Automobile Factory within two years. The only problem is the battery. It is currently difficult to prevent the battery from exploding."

Miss Suzuki added: "The Chinese also ordered 30 sets of car batteries through Tingmei Trading Company!"

"Mitsubishi wanted to buy car batteries directly from the Shencheng Battery Factory, but was rejected because of insufficient production!" Former Mayor Suzuki said calmly, "Now it depends on Mitsui's decision!"

Miss Suzuki bowed and asked, "Father, do you need me to remind Mitsui about this?"

"No need!" Former Mayor Suzuki said coldly: "Since they choose to get close to Mitsubishi, let them go. Most people will only turn back after hitting a wall!"
