"Haha! You little rascal, you've got a plan that even the leaders in Beijing have heard about!" Liao Gong laughed loudly.
...
Indeed, China is really poor these days. Even bicycles are not yet common in every household, so how can we talk about a car market?
Therefore, the consumer market required for Lin Huowang's current preparatory work and technological accumulation is simply not available domestically, so he can only target Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
As for the European and American markets, Lin Huowang is not currently harboring such hopes.
After all, Europe and America already have many top-tier car manufacturers. Only when oil prices rise will fuel-efficient cars from Japan and South Korea be able to penetrate the market.
Lin Huowang's plan was even more ruthless: when the United States, relying on the hegemony of the petrodollar, caused global oil prices to soar, that would be the time for his new energy vehicles to dominate the world.
...
While Lin Huowang and Liao Gong were envisioning their future automotive empire at Shekou Wharf,
Thousands of miles away.
Northeast China.
Jilin Province, Spring City.
Today is a day that makes the hearts of tens of thousands of candidates and their parents across the province race – the day the college entrance examination results are released.
At the entrance of the Provincial Department of Education, there was a great commotion of gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags waving, and a huge crowd!
A huge red notice was being carefully posted by staff in the most prominent place on the bulletin board.
"They're out! They're out!"
"Look! Who's the top scorer? Who's the top scorer in our province?"
The crowd surged forward, craning their necks and eagerly anticipating the announcement of the top scholar's name.
After all, this was the first year of the college entrance examination after its resumption, and the number of participants was very large, not just limited to current year graduates.
At the front of the line were several students dressed in thick cotton-padded clothes and wearing glasses. They looked very refined. They were all top students from the best key high school in Chuncheng and were usually arrogant and haughty.
But when their eyes fell on the name at the very top of the honor roll, they were all dumbfounded.
"First place... Lin Huowang?"
"What's the total score... Holy crap! That's way too high! It's almost a perfect score!"
"Who is this Lin Huowang? Which middle school does he go to? I've never heard of him before?"
"I don't know! Looking at the exam number and the registered residence... it seems to be from Baishan County? From the same county? And he got the top score in the province? And looking at this score, if the exam papers weren't different for each province, I think he could even be the top scorer in the country..."
"My God! A prodigy like this can come from a small county? The top scorer in the province! He's the only one among hundreds of thousands of test takers in the entire province! He's such a source of pride..."
People only notice the first place, and the discussions all revolve around Lin Huowang's score as the provincial champion, and where he is from.
And on the outermost edge of the crowd.
Two pretty girls, all bundled up tightly, were holding hands, their faces flushed with excitement.
It was Gong Xue and Qian Shujuan.
Although the two women felt a subtle sense of rivalry because of Lin Huowang, at this moment, they were surprisingly united in feeling unparalleled pride in him!
"I knew it! I knew it!"
Qian Shujuan was so excited she jumped up and down, grabbing Gong Xue's hand and shouting happily, "I knew Lin Huowang would do it! Look! Number one in the province! The top scholar! He's the top scholar!"
Although Gong Xue didn't shout as loudly as Qian Shujuan, her face was still full of joy.
Looking at that prominent name on the list, she felt a surge of pride and honor.
"That's my man..."
Gong Xue couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "He can accomplish great things outside, and still achieve top honors in the imperial examinations at home... Is there anything in this world he can't do?"
...
The news that Lin Huowang had become the top scholar in the province seemed to have wings, traveling along that thin telephone line across most of China to reach Shekou in the south.
Inside the temporary command post in Shekou Industrial Zone.
Lin Huowang was hunched over the table, sketching and writing on a complex car chassis drawing, his brows slightly furrowed.
Land Rover's chassis is excellent, but it was designed for European road conditions.
The road conditions in China are even more complex, especially in the northwest and southwest regions, where there are many unpaved roads. Therefore, the Land Rover's suspension system must be fine-tuned and strengthened.
While experienced mechanics in domestic car factories have extensive expertise in this technical skill, they are all trained on Soviet-style vehicles. In present-day China, only someone like him, with his memories of the future and professional knowledge, can handle it.
"Bang!"
Just then, the office door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
It's Lord Liao!
He was holding a telegram that he had just received.
The expression on his face was even more excited than when his own son got married!
"Fire! Fire!"
Liao Gong's voice was so loud that it almost startled Lin Huowang, who was drawing, and Lin Huowang accidentally broke his pencil.
"What's wrong, Lord Liao?"
Seeing this, Lin Huowang asked with some concern, "Is there a problem with the equipment in the UK? Or is there some trouble in Shanghai again?"
No! Neither of those!
Liao Gong slammed the telegram down in front of Lin Huowang:
"Look! Look quickly! This is a good news report from Jilin Province!"
"Good news? Jilin Province? The engine technology was only recently transferred there, what good news could there be?"
