Siheyuan: This driver is too arrogant

Chapter 460: Thirty thousand more famines! (Please subscribe)

"It's 3 yuan, but they confiscated our money."

"No money? Wasn't that given to you for free?"

"No, you signed a contract with us, which means you have to pay three thousand a year for ten years and pay off the car." Gu Youtian's face was red and his heart was pounding. Although the household guarantee was guaranteed, his family was He had two and a half hours of land and two big mules, but his family was poor and he owed a lot of money to the famine outside. As a result, he was still in his 20s and still had not gotten married.

An old lady from the house next door came out, looked at the brand new tractor, and sighed, "It's such a big living thing again, and there will be another [-] famines! Xiaotianzi, you can figure it out yourself! Your parents can't help them grow old." The two of them are so tired that their waists are broken!”

Gu Youtian blushed, bit his lip, and finally closed his mouth, "Have you eaten, Xiao Cui?"

"Have eaten, my mother baked pancakes. Brother Arita, you are going to drive the tractor to the fields later. Don't forget to call me! I'll go see how this thing plows the ground."

Pancakes...

Gu Youtian licked his tongue, greedy.

When he went to the fields in the afternoon, he drove a brand-new tractor into the fields, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the rumbling sound spread throughout the small village, attracting the attention of the villagers.

Old man Gu and his wife were driving their mules to dig holes to plant corn when they saw their son rushing into the field with a tractor and unloading the plowshare. In just one hour, they plowed a five-acre field.

"This little thing, if you don't eat grass and just drink oil, it's very powerful!" The old man patted his sore back, "If a big black mule is put in this land, it will have to work for a whole day and a night."

"Old man, can you make money by buying such a thing?" My wife's heart was in a state of anxiety. The famine cost another [-] yuan, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep.

"Isn't that coming to life?"

Old Man Gu lit up a pack of cigarettes, pointed to fellow villager Li Li who was chatting with his son by the tractor in the distance, and said with a smile.

"Okay, your land hasn't been plowed for a while, right? I don't want more from you, just 100 yuan!"

"That's it, a hundred is a hundred!" Uncle Li followed him and sat in the high carport, looking at the brand-new dashboards inside, he was extremely envious!
What a fun thing!
"Old Wang's family in Qiantun bought a small four-wheeler with a [-]-horsepower long-haul tractor. It's not as good as yours. It doesn't even have a carport. It still costs [-] yuan..."

"How can their crappy stuff compare to mine? It even uses a crank... I make an electric ignition!"

Gu Youtian took out the key, inserted it into the lock in front of Uncle Li, turned it slightly, and the tractor made a rumble. Then he stepped on the accelerator, and Uncle Li's body suddenly jumped back, and he hit hard. Back up!
The Red Star 25-horsepower four-wheel tractor is like a wild horse running wild on the vast northeastern plains, attracting the envious eyes of countless farmers.

When the lights were on, the roar of a tractor came from outside the house. Gu Youtian parked the car in the yard, patted the mule that was grazing, and went straight into the house.

Ten bills worth ten dollars were placed on the table, which made old man Gu’s eyes light up!
"With this thing in hand, we will make money quickly in the future!" Gu Youtian sat cross-legged on the kang, took a bowl of soup from his mother, drank it all in one gulp, lifted up his sleeves and wiped his mouth, saying proudly .

"I think it will work. If we can live every day, the 3 yuan we spent to buy a car will be repaid in one year!" My wife put the money away and said with a smile.

"Why are you thinking about good things!" Old Man Gu also laughed. Chairman Liu was right. You can't just sit at home after buying this thing. You need to go out more and find some work to give money to others as soon as possible. Come on!

"Eat quickly and sleep quickly, we have to farm tomorrow!" The old man puffed on his pipe and just picked up his rice bowl when a dog barked outside the door.

"Is Brother Arita at home?"

Someone came to the door again.

Liu Weidong looked at the thick stack of contracts in front of him and felt his head was buzzing!

Farmers have never been synonymous with ignorance and backwardness. On the contrary, farmers have the virtues of diligence, wisdom, and enterprising spirit. After initially seeing the benefits of the Red Star tractor, especially compared with the long-tractor and small four-wheeler, not only the power and convenience , speed to get started, comfort and other aspects, it is far beyond the competition!

The key is that this opponent is too powerful. He dares to buy a single-cylinder small four-wheeler for [-] yuan!
And the Red Star tractor only costs 3 yuan!
Just seven thousand short!

Liu Weidong specially left ten tractors at the test site for farmers to test drive for free. He also launched a leasing service for farmers with motor vehicle driving licenses, not to make money, but just to let farmers experience the quality of their tractors first-hand!
The key is that the test site also provides three free meals!

The food is great!
Coupled with the publicity of farmers who previously used interest-free loans to buy tractors, in just one month, many farmers made a lot of money with the little iron bulls they bought, and some even made thousands of yuan!
If someone takes the lead, things will be much easier to handle. There is an endless stream of farmers who come to the test site for test drives every day and have to wait in line. The canteen is also overcrowded, and the daily cost of food and fuel alone is 2000 yuan!
But Chairman Liu Da doesn’t care!

Compared to the entire Northeast agricultural machinery market, this cost is simply insignificant!
"Your tractor is really good. It's comfortable to drive and has great power!" Gu Youtian drove the car over early in the morning for maintenance. He proudly showed off to Liu Weidong, "In just over 20 days, I've made a thousand dollars." It’s more than 600 yuan, and my dad said to pay back part of the money first, so that I feel at ease..."

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. It's not the day to repay the loan. Why don't you use the money to buy a tow truck and pull some wheels? That way you can get money faster." Liu Weidong patted the dust on the shoulders of this little brother. I am very happy to deal with the simple and honest farmers, "The farm is busy with the hoe, and we can't let this little guy idle. Taking advantage of the current good policies, it is serious to grab money as soon as possible!"

"Well, I'm going to buy a trailer now!" Gu Youtian always felt that the handsome elder brother in front of him didn't look like the chairman of a large group at all, but rather like the elder brother next door, which always made him feel like a spring breeze.

"How many have we sold now?" After sending Gu Youtian out, Liu Weidong asked Han Zuoxing who was standing at the door. Han Zuoxing hesitated and took out a note from his pocket. This cousin with strong limbs and simple mind was not suitable. His wife Wang Lanhua taught him this skill in management.

If you can't remember anything, just write it down on paper and put it in your pocket. If you can't remember it, take it out and read it.

"More than 370 units have been sold now, 200 units have been taken away, and there are still more than [-] units that have not been delivered. Why don't the chairman urge the capital to get them sorted out as soon as possible?"

"Don't rush, quality is the first priority." Liu Weidong knows the importance of word-of-mouth. If the first three kicks are not good, it will be in trouble if he wants to open up the agricultural machinery market in Northeast China in the future!

"There are only more than 400 units of grass, which is not enough for us to sell in a week!"

Yang Maosheng was not completely unresponsive. He secretly sent people to sneak into the testing site and overheard the conversation between Liu Weidong and Han Zuoxing. He curled his lips in disdain. Although you, Beijing Iron and Steel, are prospering, even Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is not your opponent. , but the tractor... wants to steal our meat, you should be more tender!

"Well, go and spend 3 yuan on your account and buy one of their tractors. Let's dismantle it and see if there are any good things..."

"Director, you don't have to spend any money to buy their tractors now. As long as you sign the installment payment, you can buy it without spending a penny!"

"What the hell, Liu Weidong is crazy. He even does business at a loss. Then go get one. Hurry up!"

Business competition has always been all-consuming, but Liu Weidong doesn't pay attention to long-term tractors. Now we can break even without losing money by selling a tractor for 3 yuan. With the increase in production capacity, we will To further reduce costs, and the production of agricultural machinery is also in full swing, it is only a matter of time before the tractor factory turns a profit.

It's just that for such a good project, it's a bit difficult to take all the risks on yourself...

Moreover, his opponent is not only Changtuo, but also Yituo from Zhongyuan, Shangtuo and Qingtuo from the south, and Tiantuo at his doorstep, all of which he wants to deal with one by one.

In terms of engines, Changzhou Wujin, Liuzhou Wuling, and the harvester market all need to be laid out one by one and solved one by one!

As the Hongxing 25-horsepower four-wheeler was finalized, the tractor factory began to recruit a large number of employees. A team of technicians headed by XCMG began to develop small-horsepower walking tractors suitable for the Jiangnan water network area. The imitation of large combine harvesters was also put on the agenda.

The longer-term plan is to produce crawler chassis and enter the large-scale construction machinery industry...

He has always had high hopes for the tractor factory, which is not only a stepping stone to the automobile industry, but also a starting point for the development of multi-purpose vehicles.

He called Mr. Lu, hoping to use his appeal and influence to convene major consortiums in Southeast Asia to finance the tractor factory.

Are you kidding me, Liu? I am the master of the loss-making business?
Every penny I spend, I want it to roll around, double it tenfold, and put it back in my pocket!
Mr. Lu has lived overseas for many years and has witnessed with his own eyes that industrial countries have been destroyed by Western capital and turned into raw material production areas and tourist destinations. For example, in Siam, the women in the host countries have also become service workers who lean on the building and make smiles. Flatter and please Western tourists, selling their bodies and dignity to earn a small profit.

Mr. Lu feels deeply sad!

Countries without an industrial system are just playthings in the hands of Western capital!
After receiving Liu Weidong's call, he readily agreed and immediately called the wealthy people in Southeast Asia he was familiar with. These wealthy people had their own agendas, some were just for profit, and some, like Mr. Lu, also had a strong sense of patriotism. After convening, a total of eight Southeast Asian consortiums chose to participate in the financing project of the tractor factory, but more than [-] companies chose to wait and see.

Mr. Lu spared no effort and personally took the actual controllers of these eight consortiums to fly to the capital to meet with Liu Weidong.

Liu Weidong first took them to visit the tractor production line, which was basically a semi-automated production line he had created from the system. The workers were manipulating robotic arms that were far superior to their domestic counterparts and were busy lifting equipment.

"I have only seen such an advanced production workshop in Germany!" An old man named Lin also manipulated the robotic arm with great interest. He felt that this thing was very labor-saving and said with a smile.

"We imported this set of equipment from the United States. The complete set of equipment cost more than 3000 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange..." Liu Weidong glared and told lies, "Now the tractors we produce have basically opened up the market, but the production capacity cannot keep up, so we need your seniors. investment."

"Uh...Xiao Liu, your project is great, but how do you want to invest? Is it a stock investment or..."

Mr. Lin's words sounded like southern Fujian. Liu Weidong smiled and said, "Loan, I hope you can provide our tractor factory with a long-term loan of no more than 4000 million US dollars. We will use this money to recruit workers, expand production lines, and lay out the market." channel……"

"3000 million is not a small number, and what we hope is not just a small interest income, we hope to obtain your equity!"

Mr. Lu frowned slightly and walked to a tractor that had just come off the assembly line. "Weidong, how is the current production capacity of your tractor?"

"There are about ten units per day, and new workers are still being trained. When they take up the job, the production capacity will reach [-] units per day." Liu Weidong said, "The biggest problem now is not the output, but the engine. To be honest, the production of single-cylinder engines The yield rate has never been improved, and the thermal efficiency ratio is also..."

"It's up to you to solve these technical problems. We don't understand. You just need to tell me how much return it can bring to us." The old man did things very simply. Businessmen make profits and only look at the results.

"The loan interest we can provide is 3%. If it is possible, please sign the contract. If not, we will contact other rich people."

Everyone looked at each other. The interest rate of 3% was not very high. If you deposit money in any bank, you could get interest rates much higher than this price. However, looking at the tractors that were coming off the assembly line, everyone felt that this was an excellent opportunity. Opportunity……

"I can lend you 1000 million US dollars, and my rubber plantation needs a large number of these tractors. If you sell the tractors to us at a reasonable price, the principal and interest will be deducted." Mr. Lu proposed A more practical plan, Liu Weidong nodded, "Yes, we just need to wait until our production capacity increases before we can provide you with tractors."

"No hurry!" The old man walked around the tractor again, patted the thick galvanized sheet, and exclaimed, "It's really a good thing. I've always dreamed of starting an industry, but the environment abroad is so bad that it's not allowed at all. !”

"Yes, industry is a thing with high profits, but the cost is also high. It is more important to seize the opportunity. As the saying goes, one wrong step and the next wrong. In the 50s, I also had the opportunity to get involved in industry..."

A chaebol named Luo looked helpless.

In the name of a tractor factory, Liu Weidong raised US$3000 million from a Southeast Asian consortium, with an agreed interest rate of 3% and repayment within ten years. Tractors and various mechanical equipment can be used as repayments.

After the contract was signed, Liu Weidong took them to the United Chemical Factory. The nature of this factory was quite different from that of the tractor factory. The tractor factory was a 100% state-owned enterprise, while United Chemical was controlled by Xu Jingyou. Haohuo is a large-scale chemical plant that is a Sino-foreign joint venture. Xu Jingyou contributes capital and equipment, and Jingang Iron & Steel contributes manpower, land and sales channels.

"I'm inviting you here not simply to raise funds for our tractor factory. There is a big project waiting for us to finish."

"The big project you mentioned..." Looking at the rows of pipelines and the giant reactors slowly emitting steam, Mr. Lu suddenly realized that this is a good project!

　The new book "Starting from the production team driving the big truck" has been released. Everyone is welcome to read it. The new book took a lot of effort and I bought more than ten books from that era for reference. It writes about things in our family in the rural areas of Northeast China. I think it is better than This one is much stronger, I hope you all like it.
