Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

...

Chapter 223 Pseudo-Three-Defense

He wrote down the contact information of several people and asked Zhao Shanhai to go to Hong Kong to complete the onboarding procedures and get a work visa from there.

Just after Zhao Shanhai left, the secretary informed us that people from the municipal government office, accompanied by representatives from SAIC, had come to visit.

"SAIC? Did they deliver the car I ordered themselves?" Xing Baohua wondered to himself.

They invited the people in, and after they sat down, tea and cigarettes were offered. Two people from SAIC's purchasing department arrived; one of them was named Li Xiaohui, and was addressed as Director Li.

What are we here for? We need to purchase over sixty pagers and over thirty mobile phones.

The transaction volume exceeded one million.

However, Xing Baohua was annoyed when he remembered that the other party hadn't handed over the car and had made him wait.

Same here, insufficient production, let's wait until the end of next year!

This guy is just disgusting. With SAIC's demand for so little stock, Xing Baohua's reserved inventory is enough to handle it.

Reserved inventory is for building relationships, giving gifts, and maintaining relationships.

There are still more than 200 pagers and more than 90 mobile phones.

But it has no direct connection with SAIC, despite being accompanied by city officials. Can they simply ignore it if they don't want to?

Unless a partnership is established.

The city government officials, realizing they couldn't let the situation reach a stalemate, tried to smooth things over by saying to Xing Baohua, "Give them as many units as you have."

Xing Baohua lit a cigarette and asked the other party, "I still have more than a dozen cars over there. How many can you squeeze out?"

"Director Xing, that's easy. Can I borrow your phone for a moment?" Li Xiaohui stood up and used Xing Baohua's phone to call the factory and coordinate to give Xing Baohua eight vehicles to use first, with the remaining vehicles to be delivered within two months.

This speed is really useful when you have someone with you.

In the final negotiation, Xing Baohua paid the fare using his pager and mobile phone, and to be fair, the settlement was based on market prices.

Xing Baohua is cunning; he makes a profit even at market price.

This kind of thing can only be enjoyed alone, not shared.

It all started with SAIC, and heavy industry companies across the country came to purchase them wherever there was a pager signal.

The goods that Xing Baohua reserved were for critical moments; he couldn't just give them to anyone who came!

They're in a rush to give it to the distributors! They're counting on these local bosses for their livelihood.

The municipal government office is practically a reception office. Heavy industry companies go directly to the municipal government office, bring their representatives over, and let them talk to Xing Baohua in person.

On the other hand, it can be seen that the General Post Office is really fast in building base stations.

The reason why construction was so fast is also related to Xing Baohua, because the product was very convenient to use.

Currently, it's mainly used by leaders, to ensure their work is smooth and inexpensive. The local post and telecommunications department is building signal towers at breakneck speed.

The products were sold all over the country, but the distributors only received a tiny amount of stock, which they released like squeezing toothpaste.

However, this also taught the distributors a trick from Xing Baohua: collect deposits and full payments. Then, once the goods arrive, they take delivery according to the order of full payment.

They actually managed to get back the money that Xing Baohua had advanced from them!

Some people follow the rules, while others don't. When they see that money comes in quickly, they start collecting large sums of money upfront.

They managed to collect all the equipment funds needed by various units in the city and county. They even ordered over a thousand cell phones and pagers!

More than 20 million yuan—the money came too quickly. What Xing Baohua didn't expect was that it would also plant a time bomb for him.

He has contracts with the agents, but the agents and customers have nothing between them except a receipt. They'll use the receipt to pick up the goods later.

That's where the hidden danger lies.

That day, Xing Baohua had just come out of the general workshop when he saw a large Hongqi and several cars drive in.

Seeing the people from the Municipal Government Office again gave Xing Baohua a headache. There was no way around it; he had to give them face. Besides, the Municipal Government Office didn't interfere in the negotiations; they just acted as intermediaries.

They invited the person into the office, and it turned out he was from FAW (First Automobile Works).

It seems they knew Xing Baohua was short of a car, so they immediately brought him a large Hongqi (Red Flag) car. It was the one Xing Baohua saw at the gate.

ca770!

Well, this car is less practical than it is great for show, and less about show than it has a compelling story.

The people from FAW insisted on showing Xing Baohua the cars, and since they were so enthusiastic, he decided to go and take a look.

Actually, Xing Baohua was somewhat resistant to this car; it was too high-end. In many people's eyes, this car was the number one luxury car in China, a domestically produced Rolls-Royce.

What qualifications does Xing Baohua have to ride in this car?

When introducing the car to this guy, I said it used a Cadillac 5.6L V8 engine from America.

Xing Baohua was speechless. He owned a fully imported Cadillac, an extended version, which consumed 20 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.

Now another domestically produced luxury sedan has arrived.

Fuel consumption still starts at 20 liters per 100 kilometers.

Who would dare to use this thing if there's no gas station near home?

Coincidentally, Xing Baohua did own a gas station.

Back in the office, the other party said, "How about we exchange this car for 20 pagers?"

Pagers are in high demand right now, and some people are even raising prices to buy them.

This led many people to criticize Xing Baohua for insufficient production. Some even called him a traitor, accusing him of taking the best products abroad to sell.

Xing Baohua accepted the insults, unable to explain himself to these people. Let them insult him! He had no goods anyway.

In fact, Xing Baohua didn't really want the big red flag, but the people from the municipal government gave Xing Baohua a few winks, meaning that Xing Baohua should accept it.

In the end, a small agreement was reached with FAW: the Hongqi would be exchanged for pagers, but the cars would have to wait, and Xing Baohua had no more stock on hand.

Xing Baohua only wanted Jiefang trucks, not other cars. He wanted FAW cars too. This wasn't just about opening a gas station; it was forcing him to open an oil refinery!
