Chapter 132 Millennium Spring Festival

At present, the world's crude oil supply mainly depends on oil countries and West Asia.

Affected by geographical location, and in order to save transportation costs and shorten transportation time, they constitute two lifelines at sea.

One is sent from the Persian Gulf, passes through Malacca, crosses the southern waters of China, goes northward from the island channel, or crosses the Pacific Ocean, and is sent to the west coast of North America.

One is sent from the Persian Gulf, passing through Suez on the Red Sea, crossing the Mediterranean Sea, and sending it to European countries, or crossing the Atlantic Ocean, and sending it to the east coast of North America.

When Lanfeng bought crude oil, he considered that Maliu would be blocked, and the price of crude oil in the Asia-Pacific region would rise, so he could make a small profit at that time.

Armed veterans buy crude oil, thinking that both shipping lanes will be blocked, the world crude oil price will skyrocket, and they will make a fortune at that time.

This is not without basis.

In 73, Suez was discontinued. In eight years, coupled with the impact of the war, the price of crude oil in the world rose from US$2/barrel to US$127/barrel.

It wasn't until the end of the 85 war and new oil fields were discovered that the price slowly dropped to the current $13/barrel.

Now North America is planning to do evil again. If the two waterways are blocked, who knows what the price of crude oil will be.

Therefore, Lan Feng invested 5 million U.S. dollars, and the armed old man invested 20 billion U.S. dollars.

It's just that FAW doesn't have a crude oil quota, and Lan Feng asked Huaxia Weapons to buy it on his behalf. The old man with military equipment is in the capital, so he happened to know about it.

But when Xu Fei bought crude oil, he considered the problem at a higher level.

'Frozen the day after tomorrow', storing energy in advance.

In his view, no matter how high or low the price of crude oil is, his family has to buy it without restriction, and then find a safe place to hide it. Otherwise, if the flood hits and the northern hemisphere is frozen, it will be difficult to mine.

In addition, two hands must be prepared.

For example, the Jamaica auto repair shop develops to South America, secretly deploys bases, secretly expands industries, and secretly builds large ships. In case the Himalayas are in a frozen area, we will directly migrate there with our family.

Moreover, in order to prevent North America from robbing us of the living area, it is best to build a defensive wall on the border of Mexico, and the old Americans in the province will go south like the expansion pack.

It's a pity that Mexico is a bit poor and weak. It doesn't have the money to build a defensive wall, and it doesn't have the strength to stop Lao Mei.

Fortunately, there will be no accidents within 15 years, and there is plenty of time to operate.

Of course, Xu Fei didn't know what Lan Feng and the old man Wu Bei were thinking.

After finishing the communication, pondering over the conversation between the two, return to reception area-1.

He knows the Red Sea.

There was an expansion piece before, which told how chaotic it was over there.

And after experiencing it dozens of times, not only did he get used to the pile of dead people, but it also provided him with many ideas for research and development.

For example, a storage device named U disk.

Like a mechanism that projects a grappling hook.

For example, the design of future computers.

The Red Sea Channel is also known as the maritime lifeline of the European region.

If it is blocked, it means that the price of crude oil in the European zone will skyrocket. If North America beats a certain country in West Asia and its oil production decreases, crude oil in the European zone will continue to rise.

"That is to say, make money as soon as possible, before the price rises, buy more and save more."

Xu Fei looked back at the rolling production workshop.

Although building a prototype car is equivalent to mass production, mass production is parts. If you want to get a complete car, you need to lay various assembly lines.

like chassis.

It contains transmission system, drive system, steering system, braking system.

Detailed to components, including frame, stabilizer bar, axle, wheel, spindle beam, shock absorber, horn, support arm, clutch, transmission, final drive, half shaft, universal joint, drive shaft...

These things must be installed in order to form an assembly line.

The instrument panel, powertrain, and front and rear suspensions are also assembled into components in order.

When these parts arrive at the end of the assembly line, they are strung together with a large conveyor belt like candied haws, neatly put together, and then enter the 'final assembly line'.

That is, the car shell is constructed into a complete new car.

In order: wiring harness, sound insulation, ceiling, floor mats, instrument panel, rear suspension, front and rear windshields, interior panels, cabin interior components, front and rear lights, fuel tank, brake pipes, oil pipes, powertrain, front suspension frame, rear subframe, front and rear bumpers, stickers, seats, four doors and two covers...

During the period, electroplating process, debugging and testing, and simulation of super heavy rain are required...

Finally, offline.

Xu Fei made a rough calculation, forming this complete 'production line' requires another set of production line support.

For example, we have to build small industrial robots for applying glass glue.

For example, to assemble the car body and chassis, we also have to build which large-scale industrial robots are used for precise positioning and improved assembly accuracy.

For example, conveyor belts for transporting many parts, rail platform vehicles, etc., we still have to build them.

So, in order.

Exchange a set of 'industrial robot' production line first, and then exchange for a set of 'auto parts' production line.

Then recruit a batch of employees who assemble 'industrial robots', and then recruit a batch of employees who assemble 'cars'.

"It's no wonder that our own camp can't handle cars. Not only is the manufacturing field weak, but the assembly field is also weak."

Xu Fei tried to combine production lines.

It's a pity that Hongqi is not an 'agricultural tricycle'.

With the help of the basic production line, the latter can manufacture all parts and components, and combine them together to form an "agricultural three-wheel manufacturing plant" module to directly produce complete vehicles and generate energy.

However, many parts of the Hongqi Automobile need to be dismantled from the Grizzly Chariot, Rhinoceros Chariot, and terrorist robots. Simple electronic devices that generate energy.

"How many people do I need to recruit?"

Xu Fei recalled the information of Daewoo General Factory, which seems to have 10 employees.

Think back to the three car production bases that General Motors mortgaged to itself. It seems that each of them needs 3 employees.

If the company wants to increase its production capacity, the scale of the Hongqi General Factory will definitely exceed that of the Daewoo General Factory.

In other words, more than 10 employees are required.

Remove the screws, clean up...

8 skilled workers, including overtime pay, the per capita salary is 2500.

2 million red notes are paid out every month.

Counting the salary of 700+ for screwing, 600+ for cleaning, and 1500+ for office workers...

And the salary of R&D personnel is 1+
The monthly expenditure is less than 3 million red notes, and the annual expenditure is 36 billion.

This is not counting R&D costs based on the value of rare earths.

“It’s no wonder that General Motors’ chairman, Smith, tried to increase the stock in different ways. If the car can’t be sold, he can only rely on the stock market to support North American employees with high salaries and benefits.”

Xu Fei is not worried about money, but worried about where to recruit people.

At present, there are not many automobile factories in China that have advanced assembly line skilled operators.

Counting carefully, it seems that there are only Shanghai GM and FAW Audi.

The former is mortgaged to the family, and the latter is the leader of the family.

It's not authentic to poach people, and it offends the leader.

Don't dig it, it will belong to competitors from now on...

Xu Fei thought about it carefully and decided to raise the salary.

As long as the wages are high, skilled workers will definitely come over, which is not poaching.

In addition, the Vocational Technical College is on the right track and will expand its enrollment in the next year, starting with the automobile department and cultivating a group of professional talents.

In this way, the old brings the new, one belt one, two belts at most, and five belts at most. Counting engineers, a maximum of 2 skilled workers can be recruited.

Moreover, skilled workers can also receive an extra salary after obtaining a teacher qualification certificate.

In contemplation.

The special operations team chanted, wearing the desert digital camouflage mass-produced at the base, carrying heavy carrying equipment, military bags, shoulder resistance swish~boom, light da da da, ultra-long-range biu~, and ran past panting.

Compared with the time before, the current special operations team is simply a mobile arsenal.

As long as one's own quality and combat awareness are improved, with fire suppression and the ten terrorist robots equipped, they can definitely beat the former special warfare team.

It can even be said that meeting each other can kill each other in seconds.

Xu Fei waved his hand and said hello, "It's New Year's Eve, why don't you take a day off and watch the Spring Festival Gala together?"

"No, Director Xu."

The special operations captain stopped, touched the sweat on his forehead, and said while jogging: "Mr. Xu, thank you for your hospitality. We have received an order to leave at noon tomorrow."

"Got to go?"

"Yeah, the third brother is a little tricky. Let's go to Tibet to participate in the exercise. Maybe we will stay there in the future."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"I'll come back to see you when we leave the army someday."

"Haha, that's a good relationship. The post of security is reserved for everyone, and the treatment is favorable."

"Thank you, Director Xu."

After the special operations captain finished speaking, he looked awkward, "Well, I will definitely report the compensation for the damaged facilities."

"It's as if I lack that little money, count me as a contribution to the border defense of the motherland."

Xu Fei was in the workshop office recently. He liked to sit at the door when he had nothing to do, admiring the training of the special operations team in accordance with the standards of the SEALs. He fell in love with each other for a long time, and couldn't help but give everyone a hug one by one, "Take care, remember to come back and give me a hug." security."

"Ok!"

Special warfare is different from ordinary green clothes.

The execution is all camouflage, infiltration, detection, and even go deep into the enemy's territory to find intelligence.

Or hunt down dangerous criminals who fled to other countries, and rescue the Chinese people who were kidnapped by ruthless people...

Therefore, special warfare will be sacrificed.

Xu Fei thought that in the expansion film, the special forces members who died in the Red Sea in the future would use their mobile phones to contact Malaysia, and then equipped with several sets of powerful weapons and several sets of improved ejection claws.

In addition, think carefully and write down a contact method.

"If you go overseas and have troubles that you can't solve, contact him."

"This……"

"Don't ask too much, and don't communicate with the other party when you meet, so as to save yourself trouble."

"it is good!"

The first batch of SEALs who guarded Zhang Shiren had already finished their vacation, and the second batch of vacationers made up for it. At present, there are more than 20 of them on the third brother's side.

However, the two parties have special identities and it is not appropriate to have contact.

Xu Fei bid farewell to the special operations team and entered the reception area -1.

Old Xu is competing with some of his peers in the village.

There is also a table of young people who are also playing enough levels.

The house was smoky, and the windows and doors were all open.

Seeing his return, everyone greeted him one after another.

Xu Fei looked at the time, there was still half an hour before the Spring Festival Gala, so he went to the table of the young man, and looked at their cards...

These young people all grew up together.

They had a close relationship when they were young, and Xu Fei succeeded in becoming the "boss" by relying on the football, basketball, Xiaobawang learning machine, and many game cards bought by old Xu, and after the death of Mr. Xu, no one in the family took care of him.

It's just that as I went to junior high school, high school, and the boys went out to work, the number of times I met each other became less and less, and it was a bit strange.

But with Xiao Xu's ability to scare people, this talent quickly disappeared.

Like Azheng on the left, he got cross-eyed at the Southern Electronics Factory. When he came back years ago, he kicked him, scolded him a few times, and let the vicious dog chase him all morning.

Like the big tree on the right, half of the palm was cut off in the southern workshop. When he came back years ago, he asked engineers to help design a set of mechanical claws. Now he can fold cardboard boxes with both hands.

"Who of you wants to go out and do it alone?"

"Brother Fei, what do you mean?"

"We can't stay in the workshop for the rest of our lives, can we?"

Xu Fei's attitude towards Fa Xiao was no different from that towards the people in Xujia Village.

In Huang Banyan's words: one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven.

Of course, whoever dares to fool the factory manager Xiao Xu must follow the rules of Huangnigang and hang the embankment.

"That's right, TEP is going to build cars, and two sets of production lines will be shipped over soon, one for manufacturing industrial robots and the other for making cars..."

"Are we going all over the country to sell?" Ah Zheng's eyes lit up, and his eyes began to move to the middle.

Xu Fei slapped him on the back of the head, "Believe it or not, I'll hang you on the roof right now?"

"..."

"It's not sales promotion, it's school enrollment. I need 10,000+ employees to increase capital and expand production. Do we have so many technical personnel in China? We can only train them ourselves."

"But we don't have a teacher qualification certificate."

"You don't need qualifications for recruiting students. If you bring students here, it's equivalent to completing the task. As for the salary, how can I treat everyone badly?"

"Money is not money, as long as you get promoted and raise your salary, we don't need wages, and we will definitely have a place to live."

"I love hearing that."

Affected by road construction, the entire Xujia Village was gone.

But the entire Xujia Village works in toy factories, so there is no shortage of places to live.

It's just that the newborn's household registration is not easy to handle, and Daze Power needs to apply for a collective household registration, or an urban household registration.

There are Liu Sixi, Lao Shang, the leader of the county university, and Cheng Guang of Zeshi. Except for the trouble of 'handing in the food', everything else is very simple.

As for demolition, is there any objection?

Certainly not.

In the current Xujia Village, the village chief has the final say.

Unfortunately, Xu Sheng, the previous village head, did not come back this year.

As a result, the other party's daughter-in-law lost her place to live and entered the toy factory.

Xu Fei chatted with the boys about recruitment, looked at the time again, and turned on the TV quickly.

In the Millennium Spring Festival Gala, many stars were invited.

Among them, the two actresses who are famous for returning the pearl are even more prominent.

It was based on these that he discussed Qing palace dramas with his secretaries.

How can there be such a vain movie about ancient life.

The whole body is rustic, and I can't wash my hair once in ten days and a half months, maybe the bed is full of fleas...

However, everything about the Spring Festival Gala proves that the expansion pack is true.

And the many overseas projects that they are undertaking are not in vain.

But Xu Fei couldn't be happy.

In particular, the new expansion pack not only includes '01 Plane Crashing into a Building', '04 Sangeyang Tsunami', but also various wars.

Xu Fei suddenly remembered the old man's advice.

Some things should not be talked about, let alone let outsiders know.

'That's right, if people outside know, the world will definitely be messed up. '

That night, Xu Fei suffered from insomnia again.

Until 3 o'clock in the morning, Lao Xu woke him up.

There is a custom in the southwest corner of Dongshan to kowtow to the elders on the morning of the Spring Festival.

However, Xu Fei has the highest seniority in the village, except for Lao Xu.

After waking up, kowtow to Lao Xu and kowtow to the mother who has never met. This year's year is over.

Immediately afterwards, people from the village came to pay New Year's greetings to Lao Xu one after another.

At this time, the female director of Xujia Village led her five-year-old son to find Xu Fei.

"Come on, kid, this is your grandpa Xiao Xu."

"No, no, I'm still young, so don't pay me New Year's greetings."

"That's no good. My children grow up and I still expect you to arrange work."

"It's nothing."

"Come on, knock loudly, let your little grandpa Xu remember."

"..."

Xu Fei couldn't bear it in the reception area, dropped a bunch of red envelopes, and hurried into the factory area.

The special operations team is packing their luggage.

Malaysia helped install a batch of advanced equipment.

Soon.

Two small and one large, three helicopters slowly lifted off and headed north.

Xu Fei stood outside the factory building and looked around for a long time, and turned around to find buses driving into Daze Power.

The technicians recruited from Daewoo General Factory arrived.

But there was a strange cry behind it.

"Uncle, I'm here to wish you New Year's greetings!"
