Chapter 2113: Acquiring a Car Factory

Seeing this group of guys, Zhang Yihao cursed back, not to be outdone, "Damn it, you guys haven't been caught and shot yet? Heaven really doesn't have eyes."

"Yihao!" Another guy patted Zhang Yihao on the shoulder. "If you had followed your brother back then, you'd be driving a Mercedes by now. Why would you be riding this broken bicycle all day, working nine-to-five, fighting for those few hundred yuan in wages, and not even willing to buy a pack of good cigarettes?"

"Exactly!" Another guy looked at Zhou Qiangli. "Qiangzi, listen to your brother's advice. Don't work that broken job anymore. Brother will take you to do business. Within two years, I guarantee you'll have a house, a car, money, and women."

"Thanks for the praise, brothers." Zhou Qiangli said with a smile on his face. "You guys are all doing big business, and I don't have any big ambitions. I'm satisfied as long as I can eat my fill and not go hungry."

"Sigh!" The long-haired guy shook his head with great regret. "Now the secondary grain market has been liberalized. This is a business that can make big money. Are you really not tempted?"

Zhang Hua sneered. "I don't even do business in gasoline, diesel, steel, or sugar. You guys should leave the grain business to yourselves."

"Alright then!" The long-haired guy looked very regretful. "When you want to do business, come find me, brother."

Watching them go upstairs, Shen Mingsheng asked, "Who are they?"

Zhang Hua snorted. "Heavy equipment people. At first, this group of guys resold chemical fertilizers, and later they started reselling strategic materials like gasoline, diesel, steel, and sugar.

Actually, this is nothing. Being able to get the vouchers and materials outside the quota is also your ability. But what I look down on most is that they transport these materials to impoverished areas and sell them at a higher price."

"Damn it." Feng Yuwei cursed. "If it were in the seventies, they would all have been sent to squat in prison."

Liu Zongmin suddenly laughed. "But this group of guys lost a lot last year."

"Can you still lose money selling these things?"

Shen Mingsheng was very strange. These things were all scarce materials. As long as you had them, let out the wind, even if the price was doubled, people would grab them.

"Sugar!" Liu Zongwei said with schadenfreude. "Last year, sugar was in short supply. They bought sugar at high prices everywhere and hoarded it, preparing to make a big profit during the Spring Festival.

But they never dreamed that Brother Dong had acquired 700,000 tons internationally. The sugar in their hands was all stuck, and in the end, they sold it at a loss. It is said they lost over a million."

Shen Mingsheng laughed heartily, feeling a bit more favorable toward Zhang Hua and the others in his heart.

In this era, like Zhang Hua and these second and third generations, who didn't resell some scarce materials?

"The dishes are here, the dishes are here." Li Zhou said, starting to open beer. "Let's drink a little less at noon, and drink well with Young Master Pu in the evening."

Zhang Hua said with great regret, "Brother Dong went to Japan. If he were here, our people would be complete."

Shen Mingsheng asked, "Do you know when Brother Dong is coming back?"

"I saw Sister Qiu." Zhang Hua said, "Brother Dong has a tourist visa, he will be back by the 7th at the latest."

"Today is the 3rd." Shen Mingsheng said, "He'll be back in four days. We'll make an appointment then."

"Hey!"

Zhang Yihao saw a few more people push the door and come in, and said "hey."

"Tong Huaiyu!"

Hearing the low murmur of Zhang Yihao, Zhang Hua and the others looked up at the same time.

Tong Huaiyu was surrounded by five or six people walking forward, and then went upstairs.

Feng Yuwei said in a low voice, "After Tong Huaiyu returned to the country, he started jumping around, calling for the liberalization of the grain market. Just now Zhao Dezhi and the others said they were doing grain business; wouldn't they be cooperating with Tong Huaiyu and the others?"

"There's no need to doubt this." Liu Zongmin took a sip from the beer bottle. "It's very clear that Tong Huaiyu is here to meet Zhao Dezhi."

"Damn it!" Li Zhou cursed. "I really look down on them. Although I don't have the ability to build the motherland, I won't add trouble to the motherland."

"Drink, drink!" Liu Zongmin raised the beer bottle. "Whatever they love to do, it has nothing to do with us."

A few people raised their beer bottles and touched them. Zhou Qiangli said, "You guys wouldn't know about the grudge between Brother Dong and Tong Huaiyu, right?"

Li Zhou picked up a dish. "I've heard of it, but I don't know the details."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhang Hua said dissatisfiedly. "Don't talk about this, just drink."

At 3:05 PM, Zhou Andong walked out of the airport, just about to go to the parking lot to get the car, when he heard someone shout.

"Brother Dong!"

Zhou Andong stopped, and Wang Wentian and Yu Zhan and the others looked vigilantly in the direction the sound came from.

Zhang Hua and the others walked over quickly with pleasant surprise. They really hadn't expected to run into Zhou Andong when coming to the airport to pick up Pu Zhenrong.

Not many people took planes in this era, especially Zhou Andong and his group of more than ten people, who were too conspicuous and were recognized by Zhang Hua and the others at a glance.

"Why are you at the airport?"

Zhang Hua said happily, "Young Master Pu is coming back, the plane lands at 3:20. We came to pick him up, didn't expect to run into you coming back from Japan."

Zhou Andong took the cigarette handed over by Feng Yuwei and asked, "How did you know I went to Japan?"

"I went to Anqiu Hutong to find you." Zhang Hua took a lighter and lit the cigarette for Zhou Andong. "Sister Qiu said you went to Japan and would be back by the 7th at the latest."

Zhou Andong smoked. "Did you get the car birth certificate?"

"It's already been negotiated." Zhang Hua said excitedly, "As long as you and Young Master Pu have no objections, you can sign the contract."

Zhou Andong asked, "Which car company did you acquire?"

"Qiguan Car Factory, in Haining, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, for 370 million." Zhang Hua became more excited as he spoke. "This factory only produced pickups at the beginning, and later started producing sedans. It is the first sedan production enterprise in Zhejiang Province.

I know this brand of car, and I also know their advertising slogan: 'The Haining Tide is a wonder of the world, Qiguan cars run all over the world.'"

Looking at Zhang Hua's excited look, Zhou Andong couldn't help but laugh. "Does this car factory have its own R&D capability?"

"Yes!" Zhang Hua nodded. "Boss Shen said at that time that the car manufacturing factory we want to acquire doesn't need to have a car manufacturing license, but it must have R&D capability.

And Qiguan Car's output value in the eighties already exceeded 100 million, with annual profit and tax exceeding 10 million. It is the largest profit and tax household in Haining and one of the top 500 township enterprises in the country, even more awesome than the Wanxiang Group at that time. It's just that in the past two years, there have been serious problems in operation, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to acquire it."

Zhou Andong looked at his watch. "Make an appointment somewhere tonight, finalize this matter, and sign the contract as soon as possible."

Zhang Hua nodded. "We just had dinner with Boss Shen, and we've already made an appointment. At 5:30 tonight, we'll welcome Young Master Pu at the First Bar."

"Alright!" Zhou Andong said. "I'll go home first, and then go over in the evening." ===== CHAPTER 2114 =====
