The school had three days off after the exams. Rong Jingchen had already planned where to go for fun, but his plans were disrupted by a phone call.
The call was from the Ministry of Commerce, saying that they had something to discuss with her. They knew that today was a holiday, so they called her today because they were afraid that if they called too late, she would be out again.
Originally, she was thinking of him coming to the Lin family to find her, but Lin Ximan thought that the state department must be looking for her for something, so it would be better for her to go there herself. No matter what the matter is, she still has to maintain a proper attitude.
The two drove to the Ministry of Commerce that day, and they were received by a middle-aged man named Ma, who had said on the phone that he was the head of a department in the Ministry of Commerce.
"Hello, Comrade Lin. The 'Snow Leopard' you donated to the country is excellent in every aspect, so the country is interested in cooperating with you to produce luxury cars." Section Chief Ma went straight to the point. After all, he was representing the country to discuss cooperation with her, a private enterprise, so he was very confident.
Now we have just entered 1981, and at that time most people still think that everything belongs to the state, including private property, and if the state wants something from you you have to give it, otherwise you are a capitalist.
Lin Ximan also knows this very well, and she is also quite supportive of the country's development. How does she support it? Of course not with her mouth, because she has the ability to do so.
But you can't say that, otherwise people will think you are easy to talk to and won't talk to you nicely in the future.
"I don't know how Chief Ma wants to talk? Who should I cooperate with? How to cooperate? What are the conditions?" A series of questions came out, and Chief Ma was stunned. He didn't expect that a capitalist would have so many questions.
However, this is also what he thinks in his heart. Now the country supports individual economy, especially the Ministry of Commerce knows it, but his thinking has not changed yet, only his lip service has changed.
"Because the product we are collaborating on is a sedan, given the current domestic situation, the only factory that can cooperate with you is Red Star Enterprise. We need you to provide technology and equipment, and it would be even better if you have funding."
"I know Red Star's cars and have driven them. If we cooperate with them, then the technology will be completely new to them, and the equipment will also have to be brand new. The original factory's equipment will not be used. Not to mention the technology, the whole set of equipment alone is not a small amount of money. If I provide funds, what will Red Star provide? What proportion can I get in it?"
From a business perspective, if they were looking for Lin Shihao, she would have told him without hesitation to donate all the technology to the country free of charge, because Lin Shihao was from Gangcheng.
But now that it was her that was being sought, she couldn't do that. If she did, her dream of a business empire might come to an abrupt end.
"Red Star provides the factory site, personnel, and part of the funds. You and Red Star will share "equal equity" and "equal management rights" and other conditions. These conditions are not available to foreign capital. The country also considers that you are Chinese, so it has relaxed many policies. We can discuss the details later."
This is possible. Since the country is so kind to her, she will definitely agree. However, the specific cooperation still needs to be discussed with a dedicated person. Section Chief Ma is just a matchmaker.
"I can hear the country's care for me from Chief Ma's words. As a Chinese, I have a patriotic heart. It is my honor to cooperate with the country on the project. I will notify my team to send people up as soon as possible. The three of us will sit down and discuss the specific details. It is all for the sake of the motherland's strength. We will fully support it."
It is still necessary to say slogans and ideologies, after all, we are living in this era.
Talking about cooperation on such a large project is not just talk, there are too many aspects involved, so Chief Ma also agreed with her words. He also wanted to notify the relevant personnel of Red Star to come to Kyoto to see if the matter could be settled before the New Year.
On the way back, Rong Jingchen drove the car and looked at his little partner who was sitting in deep thought on the passenger seat and said, "Are you going to cooperate with Snow Leopard's technology?"
"No, the Snow Leopard is a high-end car. In cooperation with Red Star, I plan to use the technology of another mid-range car, which has a wider audience. Although it is a mid-range car, it is much better than the Red Star. I only say it is mid-range.
How should I put it? In your opinion, which cars are better cars? "Lin Ximan didn't want to name the car, for fear that Rong Jingchen would not be able to compare it if she said it.
"As far as foreign cars are concerned in the country now, there are only a few good ones, such as Patek Philippe, Lani, Huatian, etc." Rong Jingchen's brain searched for the cars he knew.
"The technology I gave to Red Star is better than all these cars, but it's not as good as the Snow Leopard. Don't worry, if Red Star Factory really makes it, there will be no problem exporting it." Lin Ximan is still very confident.
The technology she provided was equivalent to the automobile technology developed by Honda and Toyota in the mid-1980s in the previous life, and was the most suitable car for the middle class.
"And one advantage of this car is that it is fuel-efficient. It saves a lot of fuel than my 'Snow Leopard'." The country is poor now, so fuel efficiency is of course the highlight!
After Lin Ximan returned home that day, she called the head office in Pengcheng and asked them to bring a team to work on this project. After everything was settled, the two of them started their official date. Although it took half a day less time, there was nothing they could do about it.
A few days later, a team came from Pengcheng, led by an operations instructor. After all, this was a collaboration with the country, and Lin Ximan didn't want any deviations. His students still needed to practice more, and the instructor didn't have much time left, so of course he would use them whenever possible.
She told them that the car technical support they were talking about this time was not a high-end car like the Snow Leopard, but a fuel-efficient mid-range car. The tutor was also familiar with the things in the system, so he provided a name for her to purchase in the system, and they were responsible for everything else.
