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.

...

How did you know that in Chapter 305? I guessed!

Luxury sedans, supercars, and high-end business MPVs.

Don't all these car models require production lines?

As for the DMC model, it's no longer important; it's more like buying the production line and getting the model as a bonus.

Of course, we still need to communicate more with Sequoia Capital.

Xing Baohua waited for the time to pass before making the call to West Germany, once it was daylight there.

First, let me ask about the performance of this DMC car.

Needless to say, West Germany always calls it garbage.

The products are assembled from parts; all the technology was purchased and pieced together.

The power is still insufficient. Even the technology from the "rooster country" (China) was considered garbage by West Germany.

Overchter said to Xing Baohua over the phone, "This piece of junk only has a top speed of 170 km/h and a 0-100 km/h time of 10.8 seconds. Keep in mind that it has a V8 rotary engine and consumes 23 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers."

Heaven knows why they wanted a Renault engine? "Xing, listen to me, not just any car is worth buying. You won't benefit from it, so just give up!"

"But I'm interested in their production line?"

“Okay, if you can use it, I support you. Even if it’s not suitable in some ways, we can modify it to suit the models we produce,” Overeicht said.

"What about DMC's chassis? I think we could give it a try?" Xing Baohua said.

"I've found this kind of car now. If I need it, I'll see if I can modify it."

“I have one truck now, bring your people over. I’m planning to pack it up and ship it to central Shandong. Bring your team over as soon as possible, it’ll save me a lot on shipping costs,” Xing Baohua said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll contact you after I book the tickets," Overchter said, then hung up the phone.

Xing Baohua drove the DMC to and from get off work to experience it. If the doors were closed, the car wasn't particularly eye-catching; it was just like a regular Santana.

After finishing his singing practice at the entertainment company, Master Zhou waited for Xing Baohua to come down in the parking lot. He was going to make soup for the guy again tonight.

When Xing Baohua got out and opened the DMC car door, Master Zhou realized that it was a high-end car.

Both seats are nice and romantic.

Especially with the gull-wing doors, you don't need to hold an umbrella when it rains; you can just bend down and use the door to block the rain.

Once inside the car, Master Zhou took a look around. The seats were genuine leather, though it was hard to tell what kind of leather it was. He smiled and said to Xing Baohua, "So this is the car you were going to give me! How special!"

"Isn't giving you this car embarrassing enough?" Xing Baohua started the car and drove it out of the underground garage.

A tremendous roar created waves of sound.

When the car is climbing a hill, you can clearly feel no power.

You need to press the accelerator harder.

When they reached a flat road with less traffic, Xing Baohua accelerated slightly but felt no thrust.

"Is this a sports car?" Master Zhou asked.

“These oddball sports cars are classified as sports cars, but they’re not actually sports cars,” Xing Baohua replied.

"I don't understand. Why did you buy this kind of car?"

"That's quite a story. I'm planning to open a car factory, and I'm looking for production lines all over the world. Plus, this car factory has gone bankrupt, so I'm planning to buy the production line for this car. That's why I'm going to test drive this car recently, which is why I'm driving it myself," Xing Baohua replied.

"So what kind of car are you planning to give me?"

"I went to the Mercedes factory a while ago to discuss business and bought a few cars. Your car is a Mercedes supercar. It cost over three million H coins," Xing Baohua said with a smile, turning to look at Master Zhou.

"That's so expensive! How much is this one?"

"The new car costs around 200,000 to 300,000 H coins! I just got it from Big Nose Bro to study."

After thinking for a moment, Master Zhou said, "The Mercedes is too expensive. I don't think it's appropriate for me to drive it. How about I drive this one instead?"

"Forget it! You're not suited to drive. Besides, West German experts are coming in a couple of days to disassemble and study it. They might not even be able to put it back together," Xing Baohua said.

Such a rigid car is definitely not suitable for girls to drive.

The square shape is too rigid and lacks any aesthetic appeal.

Upon arriving at Master Zhou's house, the nourishing soup was served again.

However, it does seem to be helping a little; Xing Baohua has been supporting her lower back less often lately.

In the following days, Xing Baohua and his legal team worked to revise the performance-based agreement for him.

This agreement is rather bizarre, as it uses this year's global economic crisis as a bet.

If a global economic crisis occurs by the end of this year.

SoftBank will help Xing Baohua purchase the PCB manufacturing equipment he needs.

This includes transportation to China for installation and commissioning.

If Xing Baohua's demands are not met, compensation shall be paid at one hundred times the value of the manufacturing equipment.

The equipment isn't very expensive, only a little over three million US dollars per set.

If SoftBank loses, it would be equivalent to paying Xing Baohua over 300 million US dollars in compensation.

The amount of money involved in the bet wasn't large, but it was a significant blow to SilverSoft, a relatively new company.

Xing Baohua was afraid that if the stakes were raised too much, the other party would not dare to accept.

Fortunately, they were trapped by the software park's shares. This is what they mean by "you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!"

The acquisition of a 51% stake in the software park completely ignited this bastard's greed.

On the day of signing, Xing Baohua and his grandson chatted idly while their lawyers began discussing the details of the performance-based agreement.

We interpret each line and analyze each word.

I'm afraid that a word might have a literal meaning.

To keep his grandson calm, Xing Baohua started spouting nonsense with a straight face, even taking out a pen to demonstrate the structural diagram of the house he was going to buy later.

As a pilot city, Hong Kong needs to have a warehouse for goods coming from mainland China or from manufacturers around the world.
