Liao Gong was also a little unsure, after all, this involved diplomacy, production capacity and many other factors.
"Sell! Why wouldn't you sell?"
Lin Huowang, however, resolutely said, "We're in business. We're open to doing business, so why would we turn our money away? Let them fight their war, and we'll do our business."
"However..."
Lin Huowang chuckled, "This price can't be the market price. This is 'urgent military supplies,' so it has to be extra! Doubled!"
"Also, tell the British that this car is now called the Dragon Defender. The logo is our dragon, not their Land Rover logo anymore. If they want to buy it, they have to accept this brand! No changes allowed!"
"Okay! I'll go talk to them!"
Liao Gong was a ruthless man. Upon hearing that he could make a lot of money from foreigners, he naturally took on the responsibility without hesitation.
Three days later.
Chiwan Port Terminal in Shenzhen.
Dozens of huge roll-on/roll-off cargo ships were lined up in a row, and the scene was truly spectacular!
Thousands of Dragon Guard off-road vehicles, painted in military green camouflage and bearing imposing silver dragon head emblems, according to British requirements and standards, are continuously driving into the ship's hold.
These vehicles, equipped with the latest diesel engines and reinforced chassis and suspension, can be described as "steel monsters" designed specifically for rough roads and battlefields.
On the dock, Lin Huowang and Liao Gong watched this scene with mixed feelings.
"The fire is blazing."
Pointing to the cars about to embark on their long journey across the ocean, Liao Gong's voice choked with emotion: "More than a hundred years... more than a hundred years from the Opium War to now!"
"When have Chinese industrial products ever been supplied to Western powers in such a systematic and large-scale manner as they are today? Especially at this critical juncture!"
"This...this is the fate of the nation!"
Lin Huowang nodded and said firmly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Liao, this is just the beginning."
"After this battle, the whole world will see that the cars made in China can run, withstand heavy loads, and fight!"
"This is the best advertising! It's more effective than a hundred ads in Times Square, New York!"
"From now on, our cars will not only be sold to the British, but also to Americans and Germans! We want the whole world to know—"
"Made in China, that's a well-known and prestigious brand!"
...
Several months later.
South Atlantic Ocean, Falkland Islands.
War raged, and smoke filled the air.
These British Royal Marines, driving these unseen off-road vehicles adorned with dragon-head emblems, traversed muddy swamps and rugged mountain terrain with ease, proving incredibly useful.
The Argentine army was completely dumbfounded.
While their jeeps were stuck in the mud and unable to move, the British vehicles suddenly rushed up like monsters.
BBC war correspondents excitedly broadcast live to the world on camera:
"...This is simply unbelievable! These 'dragons' from the East have demonstrated astonishing reliability! They saved our soldiers, they saved this war! You could even say...they directly determined the victory of this war..."
This moment.
Through satellite television signals, people all over the world remembered that cool silver dragon head car logo through news reports.
I also remembered that rising Eastern power and its terrifying industrial strength.
Meanwhile, in the remote courtyard houses of Beijing.
Lin Huowang held his newborn son, Lin Anchuan, and watched the news on TV, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Son, look!"
He pointed to the television and said with great pride:
"That's a car Dad built. Isn't it impressive?"
Although the baby in her arms couldn't understand, it waved its little hands and made babbling sounds, as if cheering for Lin Huowang.
The year was 1982.
Lin Huowang's years of hard work in Chinese industrial manufacturing, along with that war far away, can be said to have completely broken out of Asia and gone global.
The rise of a great power and the flourishing of a prosperous era—all of this is just the beginning.
