Chapter 533

Soon, Tang Lin arrived: "Brother Dong, what's the matter, so urgent to find me."

Zhou Andong pointed to the TV and said: "Do you know what this is?"

Tang Lin looked at it curiously and carefully, then picked up the VCD and looked at it. The machine suddenly creaked, the TV screen froze, and when he put the machine down, it returned to normal.

"What is this? VCR, doesn't look like it."

Zhou Andong took the remote control, brought up the song menu, pressed it back and forth, and kept changing songs to play.

"This thing can also be connected to audio, holding a microphone, you can sing karaoke at home."

"This is good stuff." Tang Lin's eyes lit up, grabbed the remote control and played with it for a while, "Where did you buy it? I'll get one too, and get two more speakers, the effect of listening to songs must be good."

Zhou Andong said: "This thing, for the time being, there is only this one in the whole world."

"Don't bullshit!" Tang Lin said: "There is only this one in the whole world, where did you get..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Lin was stunned, then looked at Zhou Andong with an incredible face, "Brother Dong, this wouldn't be developed by your group, right."

"No!" Zhou Andong said: "But I have patent technology, I can produce it at any time."

"Fuck!" Tang Lin cursed: "Brother Dong, you are going to get rich."

Zhou Andong said: "You say, this machine, selling for four thousand, can it be sold?"

"How much?" Tang Lin couldn't believe his ears.

Zhou Andong said: "Four thousand!"

"Then what the fuck are you selling it for." Tang Lin said with annoyance, "Four thousand, Beijing workers, without eating or drinking, have to save for a year and a half to be able to afford it."

Zhou Andong laughed: "This was developed by a friend's company, priced at eighteen thousand, you say can it be sold?"

Tang Lin rolled his eyes: "Crazy, fucking crazy, four thousand no one buys, selling for eighteen thousand, how many can afford it?"

Zhou Andong smiled: "Let's make a bet, dare you?"

Tang Lin said: "How to bet?"

Zhou Andong said: "My friend's company, the first batch produces two thousand units, if eighteen thousand can be sold, you lose, if it can't be sold, I lose."

"Okay!" Tang Lin agreed without hesitation, "Bet what?"

Zhou Andong said: "Bet on the one-year usage right of your Mercedes, if you lose, lend the car to me to drive for a year, you are not allowed to touch it again."

"No problem!" Tang Lin said confidently: "What if you lose?"

Zhou Andong said: "I promise you one condition, as long as it's not illegal, anything is fine."

"This is good!" Tang Lin beamed with joy, "You are bound to lose, I don't believe it, there will really be big idiots who will spend eighteen thousand to buy this thing."

Zhou Andong laughed: "It's a deal!"

Tang Lin also smiled: "Never go back on your word!"

Zhou Andong patted Tang Lin's shoulder, "Thanks!"

Tang Lin was stunned: "What?"

"You will understand soon." Zhou Andong put away the VCD, "Do you know Zhao Zhenmin, the Director of the Planning Division of the Computer Development Center of the Ministry of Electronics?"

Tang Lin shook his head: "Don't know!"

Zhou Andong said: "Find someone, see who knows, as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Tang Lin said: "You found me just for this?"

"Yes!" Zhou Andong said: "There is one more thing, not a big thing, do you know anyone who sells cars? I plan to buy a few cars."

Tang Lin said with a smile: "I told you long ago, buying cars find me, absolutely no problem."

In this era, buying cars through regular channels, then be prepared to be bled dry.

For example, Mercedes 600SEL, the foreign selling price starts at 120,000 US dollars, but when it reaches the country, the price has turned several times, and it takes about 3 million to land.

And Santana, bare car 10,000, not counting national taxes and fees, plus various local, fabricated names, various messy taxes and fees, landing takes 180,000 to 190,000, and some places reach 230,000 to 240,000.

So, in this era, private cars running on the street come from three channels.

One is buying through regular channels, all are large trade cars, but less than ten percent.

Second is smuggling cars, all imported in bulk parts, assembled domestically. Such cars account for eighty percent.

Third is assembly cars, cutting the whole car, then assembling and welding domestically, although cheap, but safety and quality cannot be guaranteed.

This kind of assembly car accounts for the last ten percent.

If you don't want to buy large trade cars, and go to buy cars without acquaintances and without knowing the industry, you will most likely buy this kind of assembly car.

Tang Lin asked: "What car do you want to buy?"

Zhou Andong said: "Mercedes S, BMW 7 series are both fine, twelve units, then two to three hundred thousand or so, twenty units."

The group's directors and senior management, and the leaders of each branch factory, have not been equipped with cars until now, it's really a bit unreasonable.

"Okay!" Tang Lin nodded, "When do you have time, you go see cars with me."

Zhou Andong asked: "Are they available at any time?"

Tang Lin said: "Available at any time."

Zhou Andong smiled: "Tomorrow, I want to see Zhao Zhenmin, any problem?"

Tang Lin said: "No problem, I don't know him, surely someone knows him."

"That's good!" Zhou Andong said: "We will go see cars the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!" Tang Lin checked the time, "I'll go find someone now, see who knows this Zhao Zhenmin."

"Go!" Zhou Andong waved his hand, put the VCD on the top of the cabinet, so as not to let Lao Si move it around.

What Zhou Andong didn't expect was that Tang Lin had only left for less than two hours when he called, saying to go see Zhao Zhenmin at ten tomorrow morning.

March 11, 1993, the 19th day of the second lunar month, Thursday!

Zhou Andong just got up, the room door was knocked, opened it and saw Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo, and a twenty-year-old young man standing outside.

"Come in!" Zhou Andong stepped aside.

Several people entered the room, Tang Lin said: "Da Mu, this is Brother Dong."

Mu Dongming hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Brother Dong, hello, my name is Mu Dongming."

Zhou Andong shook hands with Mu Dongming: "Hello, hello, sit for a while, I'll wash up, then we'll go."

"No rush!" Mu Dongming said: "Appointment is at ten."

Zhou Andong nodded, brushed his teeth and washed his face, came out without a clock: "Let's go!"

"Go eat first!" Tang Lin said; "We haven't eaten yet."

The four people first found a place to eat breakfast, after eating, they went to the hospital to take the VCD, then drove straight to the Computer Development Center.

Zhao Zhenmin held a teacup, standing in front of the window looking outside. Early this morning, the child of the ministry leader called him, saying that Zhou Andong of the Jiangzhou Yugong Group wanted to see him.

This made him very strange, Zhou Andong, a wine seller, what is he looking for him for?

Zhou Andong's fame is not small now, finding him through an intermediary, surely it won't just be to drink a cup of tea here.

So he was very curious, all morning, he had no heart to work, just waiting for Zhou Andong to come to the door, to reveal the mystery.
