Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

We will focus on the desert market and not only build branches and offices in Dicheng.

Lin Kaifeng also plans to build a large factory locally.

A productive enterprise controlled by the Dragon Kingdom.

In view of the current development of Northern Machinery Company and the desert area, building a motorcycle factory is the most practical arrangement.

First of all.

The desert area is rich in oil resources, and the local people's spending on buying oil is almost zero.

Secondly, it is true that the desert world is rich, but not all countries have endless wealth.

Among dozens of desert countries, only a small number rely on oil to make their fortunes.

The remaining countries either have insufficient oil resources or none at all.

Compared with expensive imported cars, motorcycles are the first choice for ordinary people.

Third, and most important.

Robust layout.

Building an automobile enterprise requires a large investment and will also affect the production of Northern Machinery Company.

after all.

Lin Kaifeng has a limited number of automotive talents that meet the standards.

If half of the people are transferred to the desert, it will inevitably affect domestic automobile manufacturing.

Whether in the past, present, or the 21st century.

A complete industrial chain has never been established in the desert area.

Not to mention motorcycles, they couldn’t even make a gasoline barrel.

once.

Lin Kaifeng followed the technical staff of the oil department on a ship to the desert coastal area to assist a certain country in building offshore oil wells.

When the ship arrived at the desert territorial waters, Lin Kaifeng witnessed a strange scene.

When they arrived here, the Dragon Kingdom crew members on the ship felt like they were home.

He rushed to the deck dancing and kept signaling to the distant sea.

The captain humorously told Lin Kaifeng that life would improve soon.

No more compressed foods and canned foods.

Today I can have a hot meal of Longguo cuisine.

Soon, a small local boat loaded with fruits, vegetables and fresh meat slowly approached the freighter.

The crew carried a dozen empty oil drums from the cabin.

Before Lin Kaifeng understood what the captain meant, everyone threw the empty oil drums into the sea.

Seeing the empty oil drum falling into the water, the ship owner immediately arranged for people to deliver meat and vegetables to the crew.

Using a special tool, all the oil drums were scooped up.

I only found out about it afterwards.

Empty barrels are hard currency in desert areas and can be used as currency.

An oil barrel that costs dozens of dollars in China costs fifty US dollars in the desert.

The desert region with the richest oil resources in the world cannot even produce oil barrels.

It would be fine if all kinds of military supplies needed to be imported.

Oil barrels, which are closely related to oil exports, also need to rely on imports.

Seeing that Chief Mustafa was hesitant, Lin Kaifeng decided to use his ultimate move.

It is true that the desert tycoons are rich, but they are not fools.

In order to make them give money happily, we must first make them feel that the money is worth spending.

And it must be spent.

For thousands of years before the discovery of oil, desert countries were suffering more than one another.

The environment is harsh and living conditions are difficult.

It is no exaggeration to say that the domestic construction is barren.

In the 60s, large oil mines appeared in desert areas.

Many countries became rich overnight because of oil.

Gain unexpected wealth.

Oil wealth has made the desert nobles some of the richest people in the world.

It is also because of the oil wealth that there is no peace in the desert countries anymore.

You hit me today, I will hit you tomorrow.

The vast majority of the fighting is caused by oil.

Why do the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, repeatedly stir up disputes in desert areas?

If not for oil, then for the sand in the desert?

"Your Highness the Chief studied in the West and understands not only economics but also the international situation. Why did the Soviet Union insist on using a large number of troops to invade a small country?"

Lin Kaifeng's questions came too quickly and were too direct.

Chief Mustafa was silent for a long time, then replied, "Oil."

"The United States has been trying every possible way to suppress international oil prices in recent years in order to cut off the most important economic source of the Soviet Union."

"As we all know, the Soviet Union, like the desert countries, relies on oil to obtain a large amount of foreign exchange. When global oil prices rise, the Soviet Union's oil prices will also rise."

"During the Fourth World War, various countries threatened the United States to withdraw its troops by reducing oil production, which triggered the first oil crisis."

"After this oil crisis, the Soviet Union and major oil-producing countries gained unprecedented wealth, and countries that chose to join the Soviet Union were able to receive large amounts of funding from the Soviet Union."

"Your Highness, although the pricing and control of oil is in your hands, the Soviet Union and the United States can seize your wealth at any time if they want. It is more important to prepare for a rainy day than anything else."

"You may think that building a motorcycle factory is a losing business, but from another perspective, the emergence of this motorcycle factory will not only greatly enhance Dicheng's international status, but also bring you unexpected help."

"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment."

Chief Mustafa felt dizzy after hearing this.

Every time Lin Kaifeng spoke, he would mention the help the motorcycle factory had provided to Dicheng.

"I really don't understand how the motorcycle factory can help us, other than boosting tourism?"

Chief Mustafa half-jokingly asked, "Can weapons still be produced?"

Lin Kaifeng said playfully: "The factory cannot produce weapons, but it can fulfill one of your dreams."

"dream?"

Chief Mustafa was stunned at first, then he asked tentatively: "Is Di City industrialized?"

"The last time we met, His Highness the Chief planned to build a large-scale heavy industry system in Di City. My answer was that you did not have the foundation to develop heavy industry because your country was short of electricity at that time."

"Whether developing heavy or light industry, the primary issue is electricity. Without electricity, everything is just empty talk."

"Secondly, the issue of education. The illiteracy rate in your country remains high. Without a certain level of education, how can people master production technology and operate modern production lines and machinery?"

"Now, I have come up with a brilliant solution for His Highness the Chief. You and I will work together to build a factory. Your Highness will provide the land, electricity supply, wages for the workers in the factory, and regular subsidies."

"I provide factories with complete production lines and experienced technical workers."

"In other words, Dicheng provides the money and land, and Northern Machinery Company provides the technology and talent."

"Through this factory, we will drive a series of industrial chains and help your country train a certain number of skilled workers."

"Your Highness has been in our Dragon Country for some time, and he probably has a deep understanding of the human resources situation in Dragon Country."

"There are factories of all sizes in my country. Small factories employ hundreds or thousands of people, while large factories employ tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Not only are there a large number of workers, but there are also many experienced technical backbones."

"They are hard-working, conscientious and diligent, and they demand lower wages."

Chief Mustafa looked interested.

Lin Kaifeng talked a lot and finally found something that interested him.
