Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 293
That afternoon, Wang Weidong hung a banner on the booth.

"Warmly celebrate the strategic cooperation between Huaxia No. [-] Machinery Factory and Mercedes-Benz, and make every effort to create luxury cars in the new era!"

The three German guys were busy going back to report, and they didn't know Wang Weidong's flamboyant manipulation.

The buyers at the exhibition were all stunned when they saw this pioneering work.

Huaxia can actually intervene in the manufacture of top-level cars?
This sounds a bit fanciful.

Driven by curiosity, buyers from major automobile companies came to Wang Weidong's booth one after another.

At this time, the handmade hydraulic booster once again attracted everyone's attention.

Mechanical polishing and pure handmade are completely different things.

In terms of precision, pure handwork may not be as good as parts that can be mass-produced by machinery.

But auto parts are not chips, and the requirements for precision are not so high.

Wang Weidong never thought that the most attractive thing about the hydraulic power booster he created is not its function, but its pure handmade feature.

At that time, this method was adopted in order to catch up with the work, but I did not expect that there would be such benefits.

The contract with Mercedes-Benz was also magnified several times by Wang Weidong, printed as a huge photo, and hung beside the booth for people to watch.

Several other well-known luxury car brands saw the signature and seal on it, and there was no doubt in their hearts, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

They scrambled to place an order with Wang Weidong.

Time is money, never let your opponent leave you behind.

Not only luxury car brands, but even ordinary car brands have started queuing up to place orders.

Suddenly, Wang Weidong's booth was overcrowded.

After the representatives of the major car brands signed the agreement, they realized a problem, that is, the hydraulic booster has not been tried yet!
Ever since, Wang Weidong asked for a test run one after another.

At this time, Wang Weidong has already opened up his fame, and Wang Weidong, who has traffic in his hand, of course took the opportunity to make another profit.

"Hey, the big guys have seen it too. There are so many guests at the scene, and there is only one sample car. It must not be able to meet everyone's test drive requirements. Whoever is allowed to test the car and who is not allowed to test the car will cause dissatisfaction with the big guys."

"So, I decided to auction off ten places for test cars. The highest bidder will win, and the lowest price will be 50 US dollars once."

When they heard that they wanted to pay, the representatives of the car brands were naturally unwilling.

"It costs 50 dollars to drive for a few minutes. Why don't the Chinese people grab it?"

"That's right, I think this young man is crazy about money."

"Everyone don't bid, let's see how he ends up."

"That... I'm sorry, I signed the agreement, and I have to report the actual use effect of the hydraulic booster to the board of directors."

"Me too"

"And I"

"I haven't signed the agreement yet, and I want to try my hand. Anyway, the company can reimburse the money."

"Traitors, a bunch of traitors, hey, I offer $100!"

The first test car seat was eventually won by a representative of BMW at a price of 1000 US dollars.

The blond foreigner couldn't wait to take out the banknotes from his handbag, stuff them into Wang Weidong's hands, took the keys and ran towards the red flag car.

Jiang Gong and Gu Gong, who were standing aside, were in a daze.

"That's okay too?"

"That's $1000. That's a lot of money!"

For those buyers who come to place orders, no matter what brand they are, Wang Weidong always takes the order.

This kind of non-strategic thing can be used to earn money from these foreigners, so naturally it cannot be missed.

After a whole day, Wang Weidong found to his astonishment that the total amount of all orders had exceeded one million.

The income from the test drive also exceeded 2.

Still in dollars.

In the 60s, it was a huge sum of money.

It can make more money than selling warm treasure stickers.

Of course, all the money must be handed over.

After returning to the hotel exhausted, Wang Weidong contacted the mainland and reported on today's situation.

It didn't take long for the leadership of the rolling mill to send a reply, asking Wang Weidong to step up marketing efforts, and the more orders the better, they have already started to build a production line for hydraulic boosters.

The problem of pure manual production is not too big. China's population has grown rapidly in recent years, and with a figure of more than 6 million, it has once again become the most populous country.

When there are more people, the number of talents will naturally increase.

To put it bluntly, in terms of automated production, China may be far behind the West, but in terms of handicrafts, we have never lost.

Have you ever heard of shooting rockets and fighter jets with bare hands?
China can do it!
After receiving the commendation from above, Wang Weidong also put forward his own request - to send more manpower.

He didn't come here just to sell hydraulic boosters.

There are other products, also within the scope of his promotion.

In the early morning of the next day, after completing the daily check-in, I took an unremarkable [-] Hong Kong dollars.

Wang Weidong went to the exhibition.

But this time he didn't go with Jiang Gong and the others.

The four of them had made an agreement last night, and the hydraulic booster booth was handed over to Jiang Gong, Gu Gong, and a few new helpers.

And Wang Weidong took his translator Xiao Li and two other comrades to set up a new booth in the daily necessities exhibition area.

The goods displayed this time are some gadgets.

Daily necessities such as rechargeable lighters, electronic lighters, and warm stickers.

Nuanbaotie is inconspicuous, and if you don't experience it yourself, you can't understand its effectiveness at all.

Lighters are different. Wang Weidong asked the newcomer and Xiao Li to take turns to demonstrate the functions of lighters.

Not to mention the rechargeable lighter that Wang Weidong made full of technology.

The electronic lighter alone is quite eye-catching.

After all, electronic ignition is the only one in this world.

At the exhibition, there were not many Orientals, and people quickly recognized Wang Weidong.

"Oh, Jack, isn't that the Huaxia boy who caused the major car companies to pay a lot of blood yesterday?"

"Oh, it's really him, but he doesn't sell auto parts, what is he doing in the daily necessities section?"

"Elbow, take a look."

Some people recognized Wang Weidong, and out of curiosity, they couldn't help coming over.

Since the cigarette was invented, it has quickly become popular all over the world.

Among the ten men, seven were smokers, and among the remaining three, two had just quit smoking.

Isn't electronic lighters much more convenient than matches?
Moreover, old-style lighters often fail before the kerosene is used up.

For an old smoker, the greatest pain is having a cigarette in his mouth.The lighter won't catch fire.

Not to mention the 60s, even in another 60 years, there will still be a bunch of smokers who are looking for lighters everywhere.

There are three types of lighters launched by Wang Weidong.

Electronic lighters use plastic shells, which are disposable and thrown away after use. Naturally, they are mainly aimed at the low-end market.

It is not a problem to sell it for [-] cents in the Mainland, but naturally it starts at [-] cents on Hong Kong Island.

The mid-range is the rechargeable lighter, which, among other things, is rechargeable and uses this function, which sounds full of technology.

Whether it is suitable or not is another matter, but it is very suitable for pretending.

The most high-end one is a combination of electronic lighter and rechargeable lighter, which can be charged or inflated.

I don't know if it's practical or not, but it's pretty fancy anyway.

The first ones to get together were naturally those smokers.

Among them are buyers from some department stores.

After seeing the lighter and trying it out, they all became interested in this thing.

Although the shots were not as aggressive as those car dealers yesterday, they couldn't hold back the volume.

Moreover, a lighter is no better than a hydraulic booster. Many people don't know where to throw it before they use it to die.

After all, this thing is cheap, and it is not a pity to lose it.

In later generations, Huaxia produced tens of billions of lighters every year.

Among them, 60.00% are exported to foreign countries, accounting for 90.00% of the global share.

If the electronic lighter industry takes shape, it will monopolize the world in advance, and it will be more profitable than hydraulic boosters.

Wang Weidong even made up his mind that when the number of orders increases, he will directly build a factory in Pengcheng, and then transport it to Hong Kong City through Pengcheng, and send it to the world.

Although the lighter booth was not as popular as yesterday, the flow of people has never stopped.

Some buyers even became second-hand dealers after contacting their respective responsible persons, and came to add orders many times.

In less than a day, Wang Weidong found to his astonishment that the goods he brought over had been sold out, and even the pre-sale orders had reached hundreds of millions, of which the number of electronic lighters accounted for 90.00%.

Needless to say, I immediately sent a telegram back to inform the higher-ups to open a branch factory in Pengcheng and increase production at full capacity.

Anyway, the technical content of electronic lighters is not high, and it is not difficult to realize fully automatic production.

In just two days, Wang Weidong overfulfilled the task given by the above.

And there are still five days left in the exhibition, so naturally we can't just waste it like this.

On the third day, Wang Weidong and his party were still operating on two sides.

However, after looking at the booth for a while, Wang Weidong left the three of them, and wandered around the exhibition alone.

Mr. Lu Xun said that only when others have what they have, can they make a lot of money.

The orders that flew in like snowflakes two days ago gave Wang Weidong a taste of the sweetness. If he wants to do it, he has to do something that others don't have.

Especially daily necessities and entertainment products, these two types of commodities are the best for making money.

Things like hydraulic boosters are still too high-end.

Cars these days are still very expensive, and not many people can afford them.

After spending most of the day and looking around the entire exhibition hall, Wang Weidong has a bottom line in his mind.

I began to carefully recall what entertainment activities I had in my previous leisure time.

First of all, it is natural to play with mobile phones or computers.

But these techniques are too difficult to consider.

So how did people kill time before smartphones?
Basically, I read novels and play games, or I invite a few friends to go out to play, go fishing, barbecue on the hour, drink some beer, and sing K at night.

Wait, game!Sing K!
Wang Weidong suddenly remembered that the game consoles he remembered in this era are still gone.

Not to mention home game consoles, even arcade machines haven't been finished yet.

Let Lou Xiaoe open the toy factory, which is going to follow the route of Nintendo and Sony.

The purpose of making toys now is to accumulate in the early stage. After recruiting enough technical researchers, they can formally enter the video game industry.

But this path is more suitable for private development.

In the mainland during this period, everyone is busy looking for food to eat, so they don't have the time to study games and the like.

However, karaoke can be studied. In addition to satisfying people's needs for entertainment, karaoke does not have the hidden danger of being playful.

And it is more suitable to be promoted to the whole world.

To make a game console, you have to worry about the content of the game, but for karaoke, there are plenty of ready-made ones, as long as the copyright issue is negotiated, presumably those music companies will not mind having an additional source of income.

More importantly, the threshold for karaoke is lower than that of making game consoles.

In the original history, the islanders also invented karaoke in the past few years.

Wang Weidong specifically asked the people from the island country who came to participate in the exhibition, and there was no karaoke in the island country.

That is to say, it is still too late for him to cut Hu Hu now.

This is known as one of the three major inventions of the island nation to the world, the other two being instant noodles and the Walkman.

Instant noodles have been around for a few years, and the mainland is still in short supply of food, so we can wait a few years to talk about instant noodles.

It's a Walkman, maybe you can start researching it.

After having an idea, Wang Weidong became much clearer about his future path.

It is impossible to develop karaoke before the end of the exhibition.

However, Wang Weidong can take this opportunity to build a good channel, and when the machine is researched, he can directly push it to these merchants and let them sell it.

The only regret is that none of the buyers from the famous department stores in North America came over.

But it's not a big problem, as long as someone brings the karaoke back, I believe they will soon come to the door like a cat smelling fish.

Wang Weidong felt that the money was beckoning to him, and he didn't want to continue to waste time at the exhibition.

After greeting Jiang Gong and the others, they ran back to the hotel.

Send a telegram back to the capital to discuss and study karaoke.

******
While Wang Weidong was busy making money, the Hong Kong police caused a big shock because of him.

Previously, Wang Weidong's coquettish operation caused Han Sen to be transferred from the Chief Inspector of Yau Ma Tei to the Marine Police.

After going to the marine police, he came down from the inspector's position in less than a day.

Become an ordinary policeman.

Fortunately, Han Sen also met his former subordinate Li Wenbin.

The two switched positions, and he became Li Wenbin's subordinate instead.

Fortunately, Li Wenbin is an honest person, not only did he not take the opportunity to kill Han Sen.

In terms of past affection, on the contrary, she took good care of him.

Han Sen was moved and made a silent decision in his heart.

Although he is down and out, there are still three catties of nails in the rotten boat, and he still has some contacts in the police circle of Hong Kong City that can be used.

Revenge is not daring to retaliate. Ever since he heard about Yunlai Tea House, Han Sen completely stopped thinking about revenge.

This man named Wang Weidong is a ruthless person. If you really want to piss him off, I'm afraid he will have to sell salted duck eggs.

Henry is just as unlucky as Han Sen, but he is a little bit better, and the only loss is money. As long as he is still in this position, he will get his money back sooner or later.

But just lost more than 100 million, Henry still has resentment in his heart.

If it weren't for Richard's pressure, he might already be thinking about how to take revenge on Wang Weidong.

Besides these two unlucky ones, there is also Lan Jiang who is lucky with shit.

Because of Sangbo, he almost became the laughing stock of the whole Hong Kong.

But after being taught a lesson, Henry kept his credit at arm's length, which made it easier for Lan Jiang.

By the time of the awards ceremony at the beginning of next year, he will have another medal on his chest.

Therefore, Lan Jiang was quite grateful to Wang Weidong.

After all, if it weren't for Wang Weidong, he would have hit the street by now.

He has always believed in revenge for revenge and repayment for kindness.

Owing such a big favor to Wang Weidong, it is impossible to treat it as nothing happened.

His personal charm is one of the big reasons for his convincing.

After two days of investigation, Lan Jiang finally found Wang Weidong's whereabouts.

Immediately sent one of his men to wait at the door of the Oriental Hotel.

Unexpectedly, this person was also very lucky. Not long after he arrived, he saw Wang Weidong return to the hotel and immediately notified Lan Jiang.

And Lan Jiang put down everything at hand and rushed to Dongfang Hotel.

When entering, Lan Jiang happened to meet the man and woman who lived in 2046 and came out of the hotel.

Lan Jiang felt vaguely familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Lan Jiang didn't think much about it, the most important thing right now was to find Wang Weidong.

If he doesn't return the favor, he will feel bad all over.

When the door of 2047 was knocked, Wang Weidong had just hung up the phone.

He was somewhat surprised when he heard the knock on the door.

He doesn't have many acquaintances in Hong Kong Island, and the few comrades who came with him are still looking at the stalls at the exhibition.

It is impossible for Lou Xiaoe's family to come to the hotel to find him.

Could it be that he spent eighteen to come to Hong Kong Island?
Thinking of this possibility, Wang Weidong walked to the door and looked out through the cat's eyes, only to find that Lan Jiang was standing outside.
