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

Hu Zhenhua had just finished visiting the School of Foreign Languages ​​when Guo Dachong came over.

He didn't come empty-handed, he brought two things: a windbreaker and a 28-inch bicycle!

“Did we produce this ourselves?”

Guo Dachong burst into laughter.

"I logged off early this morning. I heard you were in the industrial zone, so I came right over. We must share this joy!"

Hu Zhenhua's mood instantly improved.

The nylon and bicycle production lines were purchased just half a month ago, but now the finished products are already coming off the line. What a speed!

Cow.

It’s really worth it that the industrial zone is working 24 hours a day.

A hundred years is too long, we must seize the day.

Hu Zhenhua didn't look at the bicycle, but picked up his windbreaker and put it on.

He stroked the fabric carefully and asked,

"Is it glued?"

"After applying it, it's windproof and waterproof, and can be used as a raincoat!"

As he spoke, Guo Dachong picked up the kettle he carried with him and poured the water on Lao Hu.

The water flowed down, with only a few drops hanging on the fabric.

The reason for applying a layer of glue on the fabric is simply to prevent heat loss.

In the Northeast, the temperature in winter could drop to minus 30 degrees Celsius. In this case, in order to avoid US military aircraft, the volunteers might lie in the snow for several hours. If they only relied on cotton cloth, the cold wind would penetrate into the cloth and take away the heat from the volunteers' bodies.

It’s different when glue is applied.

It can block the cold wind and slow down the dissipation of body surface temperature.

Hu Zhenhua was in a good mood. His first wish since his rebirth was finally fulfilled.

Old Hu looked at Guo Dachong and asked,

“What is the monthly output of jackets?”

Guo Dachong lit a cigarette and said,

"It depends on the raw materials. If there are enough raw materials, we can easily produce hundreds of thousands of sets a month!"

"If there's not enough raw materials, then we can just buy more. What's there to say?"

Guo Dachong blew out a puff of smoke and said helplessly,

"According to our agreement with DuPont, they only provide us with 5000 tons of polyamide per month! I have asked them to increase production many times, but they refused."

Carter heard this and explained,

"The market is so small. If DuPont increases production hastily, you won't have continued orders, which will result in a waste of production capacity."

Of course, there is another purpose for doing this, which is to reduce production and maintain prices!

Three words appeared in Hu Zhenhua's mind: bottleneck!

The agreement signed between Tongan and DuPont did not include the technology for producing polyamide.

What Tongan Company has acquired is back-end manufacturing technology, the core of which is spinning. After the polyamide is extruded and melted, a melt is obtained, which is then spun into pre-oriented yarn and then stretched into textured yarn through a texturing machine.

As for the subsequent weaving, dyeing, shaping, etc., the technical difficulty is almost the same as that of cotton.

Hu Zhenhua rubbed his eyebrows.

These Western companies are more shrewd than each other. They will not sell you the core things, but only the back-end, leaving you to fight fiercely in the market!

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"If they don't want to sell, we can't force them, so let's leave it this way for now!"

6 tons of raw materials a year can still produce a lot of clothing.

To break free from the constraints, we must develop our own chemical industry.

Tongan is still very weak and can only endure.

Hu Zhenhua's original joy of getting the jacket was completely destroyed by being strangled!

His eyes stayed on the bicycle.

"Bring me a sledgehammer so I can test the bike myself!"

The 28-meter-long truck is known for its durability, and it is not impossible for it to pull something weighing two or three hundred kilograms.

The so-called "28" refers to the -inch wheels, hence the name. The "big bar" refers to the thick black crossbar on the bike that can accommodate passengers and loads, which is called the "big bar."

Historically, the Erba Bar was developed from the gentleman Guo Lanling brand.

The production line obtained by Tongan was purchased by American businessmen from the United States.

History is sometimes really naughty.

After getting the hammer, Hu Zhenhua swung it and smashed it against the car body with a loud bang.

Soon, the bicycle was smashed and deformed.

Hu Zhenhua stared at Carter and shouted,

"My friend, the electric arc furnace you provided me is no good. The steel it produces deforms after just a few hits!"

Carter: %￥&

He didn't expect that he was just standing here watching the fun, when disaster would strike!

Carter said unhappily,

"You're producing bicycles, not tanks. How can a hammer not smash them?"

Hu Zhenhua snorted coldly and retorted,

"Carter, my friend, every country has its own national conditions. Don't use American standards. The roads there are good, while here, they're all dirt roads. My standard is: if ordinary people can carry 200 to 300 kilograms of cargo and the vehicle doesn't get deformed even if it falls, then it's considered acceptable. Otherwise, people will say: This vehicle is no good!"

Carter was so angry that he shouted,

"Do you think this is a truck that can carry two or three hundred kilograms of cargo?"

"Here we are, anything with wheels is a truck!"

Hu Zhenhua looked at Carter eagerly. He knew that in order to achieve his goal, he had to take a roundabout route.

"My friend, if you don't believe me, we can deploy a batch of bicycles to the countryside and see if what I said is true!"

Lao Hu was very confident that within three days, the situation he described would occur.

Carter was silent for a moment and said,

“If the quality of your products is too good, your company will go bankrupt soon!”

Hu Zhenhua laughed because he knew that Carter was telling the truth.

Before his rebirth, Lao Hu read a news story about a lightbulb in the United States that had burned for at least 110 years. It's located at 4550 East Avenue in Livermore, California, and is maintained by the Livermore-Pleasant Fire Station. According to the fire station, the century-old bulb is rarely turned off. Its exceptional longevity has earned it a Guinness World Record.

The bulb is also seen as evidence of the modern light bulb industry's adoption of "planned obsolescence."

If the light bulb you bought never breaks, then the company that manufactured it is probably going to go bankrupt, just like the century-old light bulb, who knows where the company that produced it is?

Hu Zhenhua didn't want to build the sturdiest bicycle, he wanted to plagiarize the relevant steelmaking technology.

Seeing Hu Zhenhua was about to confront Carter again, Guo Dachong quickly spoke first.

"Chairman, I think what Mr. Carter said makes sense!"

As he said this, he secretly winked at Lao Hu twice.

Hu Zhenhua understood, nodded, and said with a smile,

"I hope polar bears can't make bicycles as good as ours!"

The corners of Carter's mouth twitched twice.

Don’t be afraid of not knowing the goods, be afraid of comparing goods!

Hu Zhenhua's mood immediately improved when he saw Carter's conflicted look.

If I'm not happy, then no one else can be happy!

Old Hu pulled Guo Dachong aside and asked in a low voice,

"Brother Guo, what did you mean by stopping me just now? Our steelmaking technology needs to be improved. Look at this bicycle body, the steel is a bit brittle!"

Guo Dachong glanced at Carter in the distance and said in a low voice,

"There are over a dozen foreign steelmaking engineers in the factory. I've offered them a reward: whoever can advance steelmaking technology to a higher level will receive 2 yuan, whoever can reach internationally advanced levels will receive 20 yuan, and whoever can achieve leadership will receive 100 million yuan. They're now fully committed to tackling these challenges, and they're no longer so wary of our employees!"

Hu Zhenhua was overjoyed and gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Guo, Gao!"

Guo Dachong waved his hand.

"Huazi, I think there are some things we don't need to ask the consulate for help. Take Carter, for example. He'll prioritize political considerations and won't give us anything too advanced. In fact, we can contact certain companies directly. As long as the money is in place, there's no technology we can't buy, and no talent we can't poach!"

Hu Zhenhua heard what Lao Guo meant and asked,

"Did you find any important figures?"

Guo Dachong lowered his voice again and said,

"An alloy steel expert from the US Steel Company, someone named Omaha, has shown interest in our offer. I'm 80% sure we can poach him!"

"color!"

Hu Zhenhua was quite emotional.

"If our small bicycle factory could produce the most advanced steel in the world, we would be so happy!"

Hu Zhenhua suddenly thought of something. He took out his notebook and started writing and drawing while saying,

"The bicycle industry has great potential. To create the most advanced bicycles, I think we should establish a materials research and development department. My future requirements for bicycle materials are: lighter and stronger! Aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy, carbon fiber, everything! Research them all!"

Aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy, and carbon fiber can also be used in military industry!

Yes, it was just by chance, we didn't do it deliberately.

Guo Dachong glanced at Hu Zhenhua and said with a smile,

"Hua Zi, as soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you want to do!"

Hu Zhenhua burst into laughter.

"Brothers, this is called a tacit understanding!"

He calmed down and continued,

"I think we should also set up a battery research and development department. Pedaling a bicycle is sometimes too tiring. If we add a battery, perhaps we can save a lot of effort."

Guo Dachong was a little confused about this proposal and asked,

"Is this possible?"

"Of course it's possible. The battery that powers the flashlight can also power a small electric motor!"

Guo Dachong thought about it and nodded.

"Let me find someone to try!"

Hu Zhenhua tore off the several bicycles he had drawn and handed them to Guo Dachong.

"Brother Guo, please produce some prototypes of these women's bicycles. The first market we're going to enter is Hong Kong!"

The car models on the straw paper have beautiful lines and bright colors, which are very eye-catching.

Old Hu calmed down and said,

"Our brand is called Naixing!"

Hu Zhenhua doesn't want to become a struggling OEM factory.

It is necessary to develop a brand so that you will not be controlled by others and you can make a lot of money!

Guo Dachong was obviously not satisfied with the name Naixing and complained,

"Dusty! So dusty!"

"Then give it a name!"

Guo Dachong was stunned for a moment.

He can appreciate it, but when it comes to naming it, he is completely in the dark.

He thought for a long time before humming and saying,

"How about the Bluegrass brand?"

Hu Zhenhua didn't care what it was called, so he answered casually,

"Then it's called Orchid Grass!"

Something like a brand needs to be cultivated by the market. When more people use it, it will become catchy and well-known to everyone!

In this day and age, there are fewer brands and you can pick any name you want.

If this happened in the future, people would use rice, millet, apples, mangoes, oranges, and bananas!

When Guo Dachong saw that his name was recognized by Lao Hu, he immediately smiled and boasted,

"Not only is Lao Guo a master with a gun, he's also a great namer!"

Hu Zhenhua immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Brother Guo, come on, who doesn't understand who? If you were really good, could you become one of the Four Pests?"

Guo Dachong's old face flushed and he waved his hand.

"A hero never brags about his past achievements. Why are you talking about this?"

When mentioning the Four Pests, Hu Zhenhua suddenly thought of something and asked,

"I haven't seen Bingzi recently. What is he busy with?"

"I'm not sure, maybe in Japan, or maybe in Hong Kong. A few days ago he said he wanted to investigate the market. After all, the instant noodle factory in Hong Kong has already started production!"

"Is that so? He's much less of a worry than Old Zhao. At least he doesn't cause trouble!"

When Zhao Zhi was mentioned, Guo Dachong immediately got a headache and shouted,

"We'd better find a way to get Old Zhao out of here. Peanut told me yesterday that this guy has a close relationship with General Xu's wife. Something might happen!"

Hu Zhenhua's heart skipped a beat.

Zhao Zhizheng is trapped in real estate, so how can he have time to hook up with a married woman?

What a hell!

If you offend a powerful general, you might be shot to death.

Hu Zhenhua rubbed his eyebrows and said,

"I approved 1000 million yuan to buy shares in his Sifang Real Estate, thinking I could tie him down with this! Who knew he would be so dishonest!"

When Guo Dachong heard that Hu Zhenhua invested 1000 million, he suddenly felt a little annoyed and said angrily,

"Hua Zi, it's not easy for us brothers to earn our hard-earned money, don't let Lao Zhao ruin it!"

Hu Zhenhua found it funny to see Lao Guo looking like a miser.

"Brother Guo, we're all brothers. If I can use 1000 million to get Old Zhao on the right track, it's worth it! Besides, running a real estate business requires a lawless person like Old Zhao!"

"Do you think he's good?"

"I'm very optimistic. Lao Zhao will definitely become the top dog in Hong Kong!"

Guo Da Chong snorted coldly.

"If he becomes the top dog in Hong Kong, who knows how many people will suffer!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand and said,

"Brother Guo, forget about him! You just gave me an idea. We need to set up some offices in the United States and Europe. Who do you think would be the most suitable person to send there?"

Guo Dachong thought for a moment and asked,

"What is the purpose of the office?"

"Purchase goods, discover talents, collect business information, and more!"

Guo Dachong lit another cigarette and started smoking.

To send people to the United States and Europe, one must be familiar with the local customs and practices, and be versatile and proficient in business.

It is not easy to find someone who meets all three conditions at the same time.

Guo Dachong thought for a long time and suddenly said,

"Future Aviation has a PR manager named Yushchenko, who's in his 50s and a former diplomat. He might be a good fit to head the US office!"

Hu Zhenhua thought for a moment and said,

"I'll meet him sometime."
