industrial maniac

Chapter 116
With the rise of the Three Kingdoms of Machinery, the Tin Toy Factory became famous at home and abroad, and the investor TEP also attracted attention.

As the director of a foreign company, he was recently honored as "the strongest professional manager among his peers" by Dongshan Business Daily.

Xu Fei didn't want to meet with other big bosses, and when they introduced each other, it was either a toy dealer, a foreign trader, or an investor. When it was his turn, before he could speak, the other party's mind would involuntarily appear "dog dealer".

Therefore, after the Wajima chaebol left, three or five military dogs from the Huangnigang Toy Factory and Daze Industrial Park were left to guard the house, and the rest were collectively transferred to Boston along with 200 engineers who had already processed passports and work visas.

buy a dog?

Impossible, I don't have enough for my own home, how can I sell it?
Unexpectedly, all of this was sent abroad, and the customer still came to the door.

And this customer falsely used his own grizzly tank to take orders, and he borrowed the other party's signboard to sell armaments, and just held another four-party meeting...

The relationship between each other, I'm afraid not even the parties involved can't figure it out.

Then the problem is coming.

500, unit price 20, 1 million dollars.

Or invest $1 million.

Choose the former, or choose the latter?
To be honest, Xu Fei prefers the latter.

You can get military dogs by consuming energy to train ordinary dogs.

The foreign exchange invested by the other party is almost equal to free.

And, Raymond is a general.

Although retired, he still has an unimaginable network of contacts in North America. Otherwise, the Carlyle Consortium would not absorb the other party as a shareholder, let alone arrange Carlyle Investment as an associate director.

With Carlyle's resources, military dogs can be sold at higher prices and more sales.

Even if part of the profit is shared by the other party, it is only equivalent to a commission.

Besides, look overhead.

The inter-dish satellites that pass by from time to time are particularly disturbing.

If Raymond sells military dogs to the North American Army...

Maybe we can see better than satellites.

Let alone a counterattack.

In case of a verbal battle one day, the other party shows us a picture of us going to the toilet, we can still despise the other party, you are not as big as me!

Do not believe?

If you have the ability to take out Bibi, the director of the factory bet 100 billion!

In addition, more and more military dogs are produced, and they are so excellent that they really need a nominal training base.

Carlyle Investment, on the surface, is an investment company, but in fact it is an armament company.

Borrowing the other party's signboard can also explain the source of the military dog.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Fei said:

"Mr. Raymond, the name of Carlyle Investment is like thunder, and I suddenly became interested in establishing a joint venture cultivation base."

"Great, maybe we need to meet and talk."

"Sorry, I'm too busy here to go abroad."

"I can go there. I am very yearning for the ancient and mysterious ancient oriental country. I have a friend (Old Bu) who has lived there for many years. Every time I chat, I talk about food, the Great Wall, and the Eight Great Hutongs... I hope that in my lifetime, able to experience it.”

"So, TEP welcomes Mr. Raymond."

…………

Raymond has a special status, and if he goes to Huaxia, it will be very troublesome to get a visa.

Submit the application, send the ambassador back to the country, approve and verify in the capital...

It takes about two to three months to go through the entire process.

However, after Huaxia's reform and opening up, many large companies in North America tried a little bit and rushed to invest.

Shell, Ford, GM, Procter & Gamble, McDonald's, Bain Capital...

In the past few years, stock king Butterfield and Microsoft Bill even inspected the market in person.

As a world-class investment company, Carlyle naturally cannot lag behind.

As early as last year, it had settled in Shanghai and opened a representative office.

In order to facilitate the travel of the management, passports, visas, etc. are all guaranteed to be available at any time.

Therefore, Raymond ended the communication and contacted Carlyle on the spot to book a ticket to Shanghai.

If it is changed to other business, he may arrange professionals to negotiate with TEP.

But the hound with domineering shape and smart eyes makes him like it from the bottom of his heart.

As a retired general, at this moment, emotion surpasses reason.

Then, look at the fat policeman David.

"These two hounds, I will take them away first."

"Sorry, this is an asset of TEP (North America), and the Huaxia company has no right to dispose of it."

"How much, I will buy."

David already knew Raymond's identity, not only did not hesitate, but instead grinned, "One million dollars."

"Are you crazy?!"

"This is our chairman, Mr. Strauss, a combat partner personally trained."

David said, snapping his fingers, "Guys, show this gentleman."

The two military dogs received the order and stood side by side.

Bend your legs and stretch your waist, after warming up.

First a set of radio gymnastics, and then two sets of military boxing...

Then, push-ups, sit-ups...

A certain fat aunt who ran to the police station accidentally saw this scene, put her head in her hands, and screamed, "Oh, my God!"

Raymond's eyes were dull, "It's incredible!"

David ignored everyone's shock and pressed his palms, "Okay, repeat today's routine training."

Two military dogs, one in front and one behind, rushed to the training ground of the Boston Police Department.

Sprinting, jumping, jumping over obstacles, crawling forward, swimming in the pool with dumbbells in your mouth...

Lei Meng watched it for a while, and couldn't help pulling out a small sand eagle biubiu from his back waist, looked around, and sang to the sky.

The moment the two military dogs heard the sound, they ducked into the bunker and disappeared from everyone's sight.

2 minute later.

Raymond turned his head sharply, and the two military dogs had already lurked behind him, making an attacking gesture.

"They are indeed worth the money, but I want to know, how do adult hounds recognize their owners?"

"Sorry, there is no owner identification process. We train them to help lonely or insecure customers and provide a suitable partner. You buy them, bring them back, and treat them better by getting along with each other. The closer you are, the higher your perceived loyalty will be."

"But that's not enough to reassure buyers."

"You can make suggestions to TEP (Huaxia) who is in charge of nurturing."

"Alright."

Raymond originally planned to sell the hounds to the military at a high price, but now after testing, he suddenly found a more profitable way.

Sell ​​it to the rich!
Packaging hounds into military dogs, what could be a more loyal bodyguard than this?
Just like the police David next to him, he dared to offer $100 million when he saw his gold ring.

Although it is ridiculously expensive, if you don't know about TEP, with his worth and status, you will definitely buy it without hesitation.

Therefore, after the cooperation with TEP, the hounds need to be graded.

Including: best, excellent, good.

Correspondence: the rich, the military, the police.

Pricing: million, 50, 30.

With the influence of Carlyle Investment, covering the whole world, it is not a problem to sell 10 pieces a year.

Moreover, hounds will age, get sick, and die unexpectedly...

If you lay a hospital, and then produce some utensils, such as frisbees, dog food, ropes, cages, clothes...

Raymond couldn't help but took out his phone and turned on the calculator.

for a long time.

'Is it so profitable to sell dogs? '

This turned out to be a long-term big business with annual sales that may exceed [-] billion US dollars!

Not only is it more profitable than selling cars, it is even more profitable than selling weapons!
'But something always felt wrong. '

Raymond thought about it seriously, and suspected that the problem was in the aspect of 'production'.

Sales volume is not a problem. If the output cannot keep up, it will definitely not reach the expected sales volume.

Therefore, investment must be increased.

In a trance.

Raymond suddenly understood the reason why TEP Chairman Strauss ran away from Huaxia Investment Hound.

low cost.

The cost of labor, breeding, and factory construction is very low.

Cultivated and sold overseas!

Isn't the 180 pieces bought by the small chaebol in Washima a good example?
Immediately, Raymond thought of what Police David said: We train them to help lonely or insecure customers and provide a suitable partner.

Wajima is gradually aging, and most of the wealth is concentrated in the elderly.

The same is true for South Bangzi and North America.

Smart big hounds can not only help the elderly, take care of the elderly, rescue the elderly, but also accompany the elderly...

In this way, is $10 expensive?

Simply not too cheap.

You know, the wealth of the elderly in North America is terrifying.

They lack almost nothing but companionship.

In this way, another major customer group has been added.

Raymond took out his mobile phone and contacted Carlyle's headquarters again, "Is my ticket ready?"

"Sir, the fastest flight will take two days."

"Nothing else?"

"There are several flights that need to be transferred. The total travel time is too slow. It is better to wait. However, there is a flight chartered by General Motors, which also goes to Shanghai and takes off in 30 minutes. If you don't mind, I can tell you Let’s discuss over there, let’s get a business class seat.”

"General Motors? Charter a flight to Shanghai?"

"Yes!"

"If you don't go with them, you can book a small business jet for me, and get the itinerary of General Motors by the way. I want to arrive in Shanghai before they land."

"Okay, I'll ask the pilot to bring your ID and pick you up at Boston Military Airport."

………………

Daze power.

After Xu Fei finished communicating with Lei Meng, he found out the operation center's plan to purchase land in the capital after the Smash Bros. competition, and build a TEP (Beijing) directly-operated store.

Just after watching the meeting, the armed old man called.

"Chairman and shareholders of General Motors, arrive in Shanghai tomorrow evening, will you sign the contract with me?"

"I'm too busy."

"Okay, I'll sign with TEP after I get it done."

According to Xu Fei, there is no need for the two parties to sign a contract. After the M8 is manufactured, Huaxia Weapon can directly inspect and accept it.

But he is just a part-time worker, and he is familiar with the armed old man, so the process that needs to be followed is inevitable.

Otherwise, how to explain to foreign companies?
The armed old man naturally understands, let alone refuse.

The two sides are about to hang up the phone...

Xu Fei suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Lei Meng plans to come to China to discuss cooperation with TEP."

"normal."

The armed veteran believes that TEP is behind United Defense, or Carlyle Investment and Carlyle Consortium.

This group of people dug a hole to bury the General Motors, and Raymond went to Huaxia to perfect the details, which was normal.

Xu Fei couldn't understand it.

What is normal?

Lei Meng's identity is there, so you can't grow up anytime soon?
"Xiao Xu, you have been in a foreign company for a while, and you have to be careful with TEP or investors."

The armed old man said earnestly: "Raymond has a special status. He is not only the chairman of United Defense, but also the deputy director of Carlyle Investment, and one of the investors of the Carleman consortium. court."

"???"

It's just a cooperation to raise a dog, what should I show?
Xu Fei was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered that the old man in military equipment regarded the investor behind TEP as a joint defense.

This intricate relationship...

After a little thought, I feel tired.

He simply confessed: "He came this time to invest in the hound breeding base, and it has nothing to do with M8."

"So, you have to be careful and understand the real intention of the other party."

"Really come here?"

"Yeah, like killing General Motors."

"Anything else?"

"GM goes bankrupt, TEP can't get paid, what do you get?"

"Modu GM and Daewoo General Factory pledged to us, the pledged flower period bonds..."

"That's right, what will United Defense get if you don't pay for the goods?"

"900 M8s, with a total value of nearly $30 billion."

"It's not worth it."

"..."

Xu Fei now not only wants to imply that he is just a part-time worker, but also hints that the investor of his TEP is United Defense.

After thinking about it for a while, I understand!

I finally figured out the ins and outs of the whole incident.

The point is, it doesn't work!

TEP is fake and not behind Joint Defense.

wrong.

Even so, events can be established.

United Defense got 900 M8s without paying.

General Motors is already heavily in debt, and suddenly lacks $30 billion in funds...

Moreover, there should be something we don't know about it.

Xu Fei threw away these messy things, "Master, what are you going to do with Huaxia Weapon?"

"Counter Carlyle Investment."

"You mean, Huaxia Weapon cooperates with General Motors?"

"Officially speaking, the two parties are already cooperating, but they haven't reached an agreement on this matter. It's a trial and error after we meet. But don't worry, Carlyle has strong investment strength, and TEP will not be affected. influences."

"I thought you were going to kill Carlyle."

"If you think too much, at most it will restrict the other party and prevent them from selling arms in the Asia-Pacific region recklessly. Others...our strength is limited, so you have to work hard to gain more real power in TEP, and then enter Carlyle. Invest and be a top management."

"..."

Enter Carlyle as an executive?
Am I crazy?

Xu Fei rubbed his aching head, "To be honest, the investor of TEP is really not United Defense, or Carlyle, or the Carlyle consortium. The chairman is Strauss, a German."

"I know, a down-and-out old knight with the legendary experience of the Count of Monte Cristo."

"So, TEP has nothing to do with joint defense."

"This is just the appearance, Xiao Xu, you have to learn to dig deeper problems."

"..."

Xu Fei took the initiative to hang up the phone for the first time.

Silently walked to the door of the workshop, sat on the steps, staring blankly at the construction site in the distance...

The whistling little north blows away, blowing away the messy thoughts, and the mind is clear.

But things got more complicated.

Because in the future, General Motors and Huaxia Weapons will reach another kind of cooperation to kill or counter Carlyle's investment.

TEP and Carlyle's investment will also reach a cooperation in another sense, and Carlyle intends to kill GM.

This will do it:
General + weapons VS Carlyle + TEP.

However, Weapons and TEP are their own factions, Carlyle and General are hostile factions...

"what should I do?"

"I am obviously a part-time worker, why should I bear so much?"

drop by drop...

Suddenly, the little secretary called.

"crooked?"

"Factory Manager, there is a company called 'United Defense' and a group called 'Carlyle Investment', which contacted TEP (Dongshan) respectively, saying that their executive, Raymond, will arrive in Shanghai at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"What's wrong? You still want me to pick up the plane?"

After Xu Fei finished speaking, he thought of the military dog ​​training base.

According to etiquette, you must go to pick up the plane.

The problem is that the armed old man and General Motors seem to be converging at the Modu Airport...

"Wash my 44444 Tiger Head Ben, add Lao Xu's two Butterfly Bens, and bring five Golden Cup Sea Lions, and head to Shanghai in an hour."

Zeshi does not have an airport.

Next to it, there is a military airport in Jishui City. It is said that it will be used for both military and civilian purposes, but it has not yet opened.

Therefore, to go to Shanghai by plane, you must first go to Dongshan Mansion.

But the distance from Ze City to Yaoqiang Airport is almost three-fifths of that from Ze City to Shanghai.

Plus air trucks...

It's far better to drive directly.

Xu Fei packed some necessary items, picked up his backpack, walked out of the workshop door, and saw the special operations team being trained.

His eyes lit up and he found the captain.

"Brother, can I ask you something?"

"Director Xu, please tell me."

"You drive a helicopter to lead the way, free toll?"

"..."

"How about you use a heavy-duty helicopter to hoist me Hutouben to Shanghai?"

"..."

"Teach your team how to drive a chariot, and I will not charge you any money."

"..."
