Factory Director Li and the foreign trade department got busy.
In the last few days, Xing Baohua received a notice from Wei Laisong that the two of them should go to the capital to report on their work.
The competent authority for car manufacturing is the Automobile Bureau.
The relevant key leaders listened to detailed reports from Wei Laisong and Xing Baohua.
After all, Xing Baohua has traveled all over the world and knows a lot about cars.
He even took out the renderings he had drawn to show the relevant person in charge.
"Our car manufacturing focuses primarily on high-end luxury. Currently, we have two confirmed models: a supercar and an urban coupe. These two models are not suitable for the domestic market at the moment; we are targeting the overseas market, with the primary goal of generating foreign exchange."
Xing Baohua patiently explained, always insisting on the goal of generating foreign exchange.
This is a different concept from domestic business travel. If the Japanese use high-end business vehicles, it won't cause any problems; at worst, Xing Baohua will have to stop production for two years.
Besides, this guy has too many high-end cars, including the latest Crown model, so he'll target the Crown when the time comes.
They wouldn't be satisfied until they opened a shop right across the street from each other.
There's no internet now, otherwise Xing Baohua would hire an online army to smear them.
During the briefing, one of the officials pointed to the drawings inside the vehicle and asked, "What's the purpose of this little square?"
"This is the central control screen. It's basically a small tablet computer added to the car." As he spoke, Xing Baohua took out his own tablet from his bag to show everyone.
Pointing to the tablet, he said, "This tablet is the latest tablet developed by our company, a portable computer designed to facilitate the work of engineers who travel frequently."
Cars plus computers—that's the future of car manufacturing technology. I've discussed this with engineers who have transitioned to other fields in West Germany and the United States.
The integration of electronic products with vehicles brings a more advanced riding experience, such as navigation systems and in-car entertainment systems. Before returning to China, I also signed a cooperation agreement with Philips in the United States, which involved purchasing human CD technology, so that cars will no longer have those cassette recorders.
Instead, I'll be using a higher-quality CD player. Later, I'll also incorporate more advanced technology to add a TV to the back seats, making long journeys less boring for travelers.
As soon as Xing Baohua finished speaking, Wei Laisong added, "Locating the car factory in central Shandong also facilitates cooperation with Dami Technology, allowing them to conduct experimental fitting and modification of the car at any time."
The two talked for about an hour, like they were performing a comedy routine, until they finally finished saying everything they wanted to say.
One of the senior leaders asked Xing Baohua, "Where is AMG's engine currently at?"
"World-class. In Hong Kong, I and AMG's founder, Olivier Frecht, disassembled a DMC model. When studying the chassis technology, he said that if we combined DMC's chassis technology with AMG's engine and ZF's transmission, this car could achieve a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just over three seconds."
Amidst the astonished gazes of many, Xing Baohua continued, "I have already spent 150 million marks to acquire all of AMG's engine-related patent technologies. Now, DMC's shareholders are discussing production lines, and we have also reached a strategic partnership with ZF."
"I've already secured the three major components, enabling us to build a world-class car. As long as the leadership supports us, I'm confident we can achieve complete domestic production within ten years. I'm even willing to make a firm commitment."
Xing Baohua's bold words were indeed moving.
Then they asked Wei Laisong and Xing Baohua to rest first, and they would hold an internal meeting to discuss the matter and give the two a reply.
The two returned to the hotel first, and Xing Baohua then contacted Su Ya.
Wei Laisong told Xing Baohua to come over that evening, because once they arrived in the capital, it would be his territory, and he should treat him well.
Xing Baohua and Su Ya haven't seen each other for a long time; they should take some time to see the dazzling world around them.
He ignored Wei Laisong.
Instead, he called the driver to go find Suya.
In the evening, Xing Baohua and Su Ya were having dinner alone outside. Wei Laisong called Xing Baohua to ask where he was.
"Eating out? Hurry up and finish eating so we can come to Houhai. There are a few bars here, and I have some friends who can introduce you to them."
"Is it appropriate for you to go to a bar?" Xing Baohua asked rhetorically.
“What’s wrong with that? Nobody knows what I do. Hurry up and come over here,” Wei Laisong said.
"No time, having dinner with my wife. You guys have fun!" Xing Baohua said, hanging up the phone and then turning it off.
After hearing the busy tone, Wei Laisong put down the phone, wondering to himself when this guy had a wife.
"Brother Song, is this bastard planning not to come? Does he look down on us brothers?" said a man in his early thirties next to Wei Laisong.
"Look at him! If he has something to do and can't come, fine, let's drink." After saying that, Wei Laisong picked up the wine on the table and drank it in one gulp.
He had arranged the gathering, inviting a few of his close friends to meet Xing Baohua. If this guy didn't show up, it would be a complete embarrassment.
Moreover, the people who came were all people of some status and influence.
Xing Baohua may not need to worry about them now, but if trouble arises, these people are excellent at causing trouble or tripping him up.
The lack of proper communication this time could indeed leave Xing Baohua with hidden dangers. We need to find an opportunity to host a banquet to cover up the matter on the surface.
Xing Baohua and Su Ya finished their meal and went back to the hotel to rest.
Wei Laisong got completely drunk and didn't come back.
It wasn't until noon the next day that I saw Wei Laisong, who was not in a good state of mind.
"Damn it, how much have you drunk?"
"Don't even mention it. You didn't come last night, which made some of my friends feel embarrassed. That's why we had a few extra drinks to cover for you. We'll have to set up a table for drinks tonight if we have time," Wei Laisong said.
"Come on, what are we here for? We need to get down to business." Xing Baohua was getting a little anxious about this guy. It was clear that this kid was definitely a spoiled brat before he went to Luzhong.
Su Ya skipped class, wanting to spend a few days with Xing Baohua. When she came out, she saw Xing Baohua talking to Wei Laisong and greeted Wei Laisong.
"These are your younger brother and sister-in-law; they study in the capital," Xing Baohua introduced.
Wei Laisong pointed at Xing Baohua and said, "You! You've ruined such a good girl. Sister-in-law, where are you from?"
