Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

In Huairen Hospital, Carter, Morris and Hu Zhenhua sat opposite each other, while Guo Dachong was lying on the hospital bed, looking listless!

This is an intensive care unit with doctors and nurses on call 24 hours a day.

Carter handed a document to Hu Zhenhua and said with a smile,

"This is a trade contract, please take a look."

Hu Zhenhua picked it up and saw that it contained bilingual templates in Chinese and English.

"To express our gratitude for the selfless assistance provided by Huaqi Yangxing during the banknote crisis, we are willing to provide them with a loan of 5 million RMB. Furthermore, our subsidiary, Rand Trading Company, will purchase production lines and build factories on their behalf. The catalog is as follows:"

"A refinery with an annual output of one million tons, priced at 6000 million yuan."

"A steel mill with an annual output of one million tons, priced at 6000 million yuan."

"A tractor factory with an annual output of 5 units, priced at 3000 million yuan."

"Two production lines with an annual output of 1 trucks and supporting equipment, quoted price: 2000 million yuan."

"Two large garment factories, priced at 500 million yuan."

"A paper mill, priced at 300 million yuan!"

"A large printing plant, 2000 tons of paper, quoted price 200 million yuan."

"47 C100 transport aircraft, price quoted: 100 million RMB"

"Two C47 transport aircraft overhaul lines, quoted price: 200 million yuan."

"A machinery manufacturing plant, priced at 1500 million yuan."

"A cement plant with an annual output of 3000 million tons, priced at million yuan."

"Two power plants, priced at 1000 million yuan"

"Two water plants, priced at 500 million yuan"

······

There are hundreds of factories in total, covering all aspects!

Lao Hu looked at half of them and found that they were all used to support steel mills and refineries.

Hu Zhenhua didn’t know how much those factories were worth, but he understood one thing: the C47 transport aircraft.

It only sells for 1 yuan per unit, which is a very cheap price.

You know, TA company’s previous purchase price was 2.2 yuan per aircraft!

Happiness came so suddenly that I felt dizzy!

However, Lao Hu also became wary. Such a large loan was like a shackle around the neck of his company.

Morris said with a smile,

"Mr. Hu, are you satisfied with this agreement?"

"Satisfied, satisfied! However, I have one small request!"

"Speaking!"

"After the factory is built, I hope the products can be sold to the US and European markets."

Carter laughed and said,

"This is the market behavior, we will not refuse!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Mr. Carter, I mean, could your country offer some concessions on tariffs?"

Carter frowned.

Tariff preferences are generally targeted at a certain country.

Although TA company is doing well in Shanghai, it is impossible for it to get tariff concessions from Congress.

Carter refused immediately.

"Mr. Hu, I cannot agree to your request!"

Hu Zhenhua lowered his head and thought for a while, then said,

"Industrial zones are too risky. They could capsize at any time! Especially steel mills and refineries. The construction period is too long. I'm afraid there will be unexpected changes!"

Carter was a little unhappy and shouted,

"Mr. Hu, it was you who proposed the industrial zone plan, and we fully meet your requirements!"

Old Hu didn't like to hear this.

You Americans are not doing charity work, so you will not meet my requirements!

Isn’t it because you have your own interests at stake?

Hu Zhenhua immediately retorted,

"Of course, I'm building an industrial zone to make money, but the benefits to the United States are also obvious! The basis of cooperation is win-win. If your country thinks the industrial zone is a handout, then we might as well not do it!"

Carter stood up when he heard this and looked at Hu Zhenhua coldly.

Old Hu was not afraid and exchanged glances with him.

Morris saw that the two of them were on edge and immediately stepped in to mediate.

"Mr. Carter, Mr. Hu, please calm down. We are discussing this matter!"

Carter snorted coldly, walked to the window and looked into the distance.

There was a ball of anger in his chest.

If it weren't for the high hopes the country had for this plan, he would have turned around and left!

In Carter's view, this industrial zone is a charity from the United States to Hu Zhenhua!

A beggar still wants dignity?

Hu Zhenhua just nodded at Morris and looked away.

Now, he has the confidence to say no!

So far, Tongan has made a profit of at least 3.5 million silver yuan in this banknote crisis, which is about 1.75 million yuan in rice.

This is only the profit in the first half. As for the second half, conservatively estimated, the profit will be at least around 2 million euros.

Adding in the revenue from Future Aviation and TA Cruise Company, TA Group’s cash will reach as high as 4-5 million US dollars in the next month!

Even if you don’t give me the loan, I can still build the industrial zone!

Morris pushed the tea toward Hu Zhenhua and said with a smile,

"Mr. Hu, if you have any concerns, feel free to raise them!"

Hu Zhenhua didn't want to make things too awkward, so he said,

"You have no idea what this industrial zone means!"

Carter couldn't stand it anymore and shouted,

"Isn't it just to promote Mi Yuan?"

Hu Zhenhua burst into laughter and shouted,

“That’s just one of the purposes!

Hu Zhenhua looked at him contemptuously and said word by word,

“This is the first sip of milk!”

Morris didn't understand. He thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out.

First sip of milk?

What milk? We're talking about the industrial zone, why is it milk?

Cow's milk or goat's milk?

He and Carter looked at each other and found that the latter also looked thoughtful.

If you can't figure it out, just ask directly, Morris said,

"Hu, can you explain it?"

Hu Zhenhua was too lazy to argue with them and said expressionlessly,

"Newborn babies are very sensitive to the taste of milk. After they drink their first sip of milk, they will remember the taste firmly. If you change their milk to other milk, even if there is only a slight difference, the baby will be able to tell the difference and will not drink it, but will cry incessantly! Only when they are extremely hungry will babies accept milk of other flavors! Therefore, many children will suffer when they switch from breast milk to cow's or goat's milk!"

After saying that, Hu Zhenhua stopped and wanted to see how these two people understood.

After a long time, Carter seemed to understand a little, but he didn't quite understand. He was tortured and said,

"Hu, please give me some advice!"

Hu Zhenhua was satisfied with their expressions and said with a smile,

"Excuse me, what standards does your production line use? Are they American standards or those of other countries?"

"Of course it's the American standard!"

Hu Zhenhua nodded and explained,

"China is currently short of industrial products. Once my industrial zone is completed and goes into mass production, will the Chinese Communist Party make large purchases?"

Carter nodded.

"Of course they will. If nothing else, they have a huge demand for water pumps!"

Hu Zhenhua grinned.

"That's it! The first industrial products the Chinese Communist Party gets are like the first sip of milk!"

Hu Zhenhua knocked on the table and shouted,

"The first time is very important! Once they become familiar with our industrial products, they will form a fixed impression in their minds. They will think: a pump is like this, a generator is like this, a truck is like this... and only the ones I use are authentic!"

Hu Zhenhua stopped and saw Carter and Morris's brows relaxed. Obviously, they understood!

Hu Zhenhua continued,

"Of course, the benefits of first-mover advantage extend beyond just the first sip of milk. Mr. Carter, let me use the example of three people, A, B, and C, becoming friends. A and C both want to sell something to B, but C is quicker to act. Through a series of actions, he gets B to use his products first. From then on, B will likely frequent C's store. Even if B and A become closer in the future, B can't throw away the things he previously bought. He still needs repairs and maintenance, and subsequent upgrades will require metric-standard parts and services!"

"B originally only had one supplier, Polar Bear. But with our presence, B now has another option. Will he compare the two products? People naturally have their own judgment on which is better quality and which is worse!"

Morris laughed and said,

"Hu, that's your 'Preserved Egg Theory'. Only after you've tasted it will you know how delicious it is! American industrial products are the best!"

Hu Zhenhua looked at him with satisfaction, and admired in his heart: This boy is teachable!
