Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Gu Siwei was standing on the streets of the capital at the moment. He could see a corner of the Forbidden City when he looked up.

After flattening the perspective, you can see busy workers renovating the small courtyard.

Gu Siwei finally achieved his small goal. Things he never dared to imagine in his previous life became a reality in his hands, and his ideals were expanded countless times.

How could Gu Siwei have imagined a place like this in his previous life? How much does it cost per square meter? Anyway, with the little money Gu Siwei earned, he probably wouldn’t have the guts to sell it off even if he saved it for a hundred years.

Now, Gu Siwei has bought two entire alleys!

It's just that the units purchased were not Gu Siwei personally, but the Gu Family Fund under Gu Siwei's name, which held these properties in its name.

One of them, which was originally of a higher grade, was the former residence of a dignitary. It was restored and renovated by Gu Siwei. It will be used as a residence for his family in the future, or as a luxurious hotel to receive important guests.

There is also an ordinary courtyard house. Note that it is not a large courtyard house. The two are different. It is completely used as a hotel. In the future, when the policy is relaxed, there will be bars. It will not be easy to live here.

At this time, no one wanted to live in the bungalow yard because it was inconvenient. You had to poop and urinate when you got up in the morning. It was not as comfortable as a bird cage commercial house.

Moreover, the two alleys bought by Gu Siwei had almost no dealings with private individuals. They were all public housing. Gu Siwei directly built several cement buildings for this group of people.

It was a commercial housing complex in later generations. Gu Siwei named it Furun Yayuan. Look at this nickname, it sounds exciting!

The smallest one has an area of ​​78 square meters, and the two largest buildings have large flat floors.

I used this kind of house to replace the old bungalow I used to live in, which had no toilet and had to light the stove in winter. Now, if I ask around in the capital, who wouldn't praise Siwei, a Hong Kong businessman, for his benevolence and righteousness? !

Except for these families who have moved, few houses in Fulun Yayuan have been sold. Others want to buy them, but unfortunately they have no money. How can the little money in the pockets of workers now be enough to buy a house.

A total of more than 60 houses were built and less than ten were bought. Most of the houses were empty. Gu Siwei simply stopped selling them and just kept them in his hands and established a house rental company. The business of this company is not very good now.

Therefore, those who exchanged their bungalows for bird cages with Gu Siwei did not need to be urged by Gu Siwei at all. Instead, these people kept running to the place where the house was built, waiting for the house to be received, and asking questions three times a day impatiently. , asked when the keys would be handed over.

After moving into a new home, everyone in the house is smiling.

In everyone's mouth, Gu Siweina is not a businessman at all, but Gu Dashan. Oh, no, it’s Su Dashan!

Gu Siwei?

Naturally, he was also smiling. It was not easy to think whether he was happy or not because he had such a big advantage in his pocket. When he thought about it, he felt a little uncontrollable.

Gu Siwei doesn't mind replicating it in many places to gain fame, profit, and win people's hearts. Unfortunately, there is only one in the capital, and there are not many places close to the Forbidden City.

Gu Siwei was not interested in the rest of the large courtyard, and he did not kill them all. He ate up all the surrounding real estate and shot the first bird. Gu Siwei was not happy to have the fate of a solitary eater befalling him.

Brother-in-law Hu Yanping stood next to his brother-in-law Gu Siwei, looking unhappy and muttering: "Brother-in-law, why are you buying these shabby houses when you have nothing to do?"

"Broken house! You kid, you know nothing. These are the houses that we Chinese should live in. Don't regret it when we build it later. You have no place to be jealous!" Gu Siwei turned around and looked at his brother-in-law with disdain. One glance.

Now this kid is a man of five and six, wearing a light gray peaked cap on his head, a dark checkered scarf around his neck, a gray short coat on his upper body, dark gray trousers on his lower body, and a pair of Shiny leather shoes.

In today's capital, this fashionable look has already thrown away most people. So, no matter where he goes, he is the most eye-catching person.

Even if someone is dressed like this, he still rides a bicycle when traveling. It is naturally impossible for Hu Yanping. This guy is now driving a Borgward Z100.

Yes, it’s the same Borgward that became associated with China decades later, but in this era, he belongs to the car brand owned by Marvel.

Does this show that Gu Siwei has a soft spot for Baowo?

Not at all. The acquisition of Borgward, a disappearing German brand, was completely an independent act of Foreman Auto after Gu Siwei let go and focused on the general direction. Gu Siwei was actually not very interested in this brand.

But as the president, since he let it go, he had to respect the opinions of Forman's management, so he had to hold his nose and accept it.

The current Borgward Z100 is actually a slightly modified version of an old Chevrolet chevette. The model is honestly not that good. It looks like a cross between European style and American style. Anyway, Gu Siwei looks ordinary and uses raw thread. Chevrolet was eliminated.

As for engine technology, it is definitely lagging behind, but it is not too far behind.

It’s too backward and Gu Siwei can’t even ask for it.

In this way, the car is not completely produced in China. Most of the parts are produced in the United States. In fact, it is not produced. It is more appropriate to use the word "buy". The purchased parts are shipped to China for assembly.

Now, the Foreman Automobile Department is slowly moving important production links such as engines and gearboxes to Hong Kong. At this moment, the Hong Kong factory has begun to take shape and can produce some less important parts. As for quality, It's okay.

Gu Siwei has always been very strict with quality requirements, so the quality of parts is pretty good, at least much higher than that of current domestic automobile manufacturers.

Gu Siwei didn't force himself to become fat all at once. He just took his time. As long as he took it step by step, he would succeed one day.

At this moment, the United States and we are still in the honeymoon period. As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want with these worthless technologies, but don’t have a too good attitude.

Naturally, Gu Siwei would not let go of the opportunity to collect wool, and he would buy it even if he had no money to borrow! Money is a bastard. As long as he borrows some money, he will not consider returning it, let alone borrowing American money.

So I continued Lao Gu’s old routine of borrowing money from the Bank of America and buying American technology. So easy!

Cars are not a big deal in Forman now, because the quality of Forman cars at this moment simply cannot catch the eyes of many leaders. Ordinary people don't understand, and there's no way they can't understand.

And the fact is indeed like this. Forman Motors really needs technology but not technology, and it needs to be famous but not famous. Is it a truck or a serious local brand in the United States? A car? It’s nothing. To put it mildly, even the workers on the production line are Chevrolets.

It’s just that this is a human society after all, and Gu Siwei’s identity is there. If Gu Siwei wants to come in, it’s hard for everyone to refuse it directly. It seems that it’s not easy to introduce other companies under the same conditions and not let those under Marvel come in. It was a perfect fit, so Foreman came in.

It's still a small business now. It has just started to be launched on the market this year. The price of one is not cheap. At the moment, it is 160,000 yuan.

Not to mention that ordinary people can't afford it, even ordinary units can't afford it.

There is no way, the price has to be set at this level. Do you think Gu Siwei wants to sell it for 80,000? Impossible. If you sell it like this, what will others do?

As for Forman's strengths, trucks, the price... Gu Siwei's own transportation company now accounts for almost 30% of the procurement, and the remaining production capacity has been bought by large factories and mines. Even if the price is set high, there is no need to worry about sales. .

This is the era of huge car profits!

Gu Siwei's Foreman caught up.

According to history, people are just starting to think about entering the country at this moment.

And Lee Iacocca was making the biggest mistake in his legendary life, which was: because of his arrogance, Chrysler lost the Chinese market and the opportunity to become the world's largest automobile company.

The entry of Marvel's Foreman cars into the country did not have a big impact on history. Chrysler was still talking about it, and Lee Iacocca still held the air as he did in history.

This is also the era when American cars are at their most glorious. In the United States, the world's largest car market, American car brands are killing all over the world, and all Japanese and German cars are grandsons.

And Lee Iacocca and his Chrysler are also standing at the pinnacle of life.

At this moment, many German cars are still struggling to survive. Compared with Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Volkswagen is even more humble. It is forced to coward by the Americans and is like a third-grandson. Volkswagen is struggling to find a way out.

The Chinese market is the last land they can detect, and it is also a place of life and death.

Therefore, no matter what conditions are proposed, the public's attitude is very humble, which is completely opposite to the attitude of Americans.

The balance of history is now tilting towards the masses, but there is a small spoiler in this era.

Ordinary people can't afford it. Will it prevent Gu Siwei's brother-in-law from driving? That obviously won't happen.

It's just that Hu Yanping's status is a bit special now, and the car cannot be considered to be in his name. At most, it can be regarded as borrowed by him.

Why is his status so special? This guy just graduated, like many key college students in the capital. He entered the system right after graduation and was assigned to the external department. This guy's English is good, and he can get along well. In the words of a few decades later, he is a social gangster.

Now that Gu Siwei has arrived in the capital, the brother-in-law's task is to accompany his brother-in-law around. Anyway, under normal circumstances, this boy is not too busy at work.

"I don't see how it's going to work anyway!"

Hu Yanping pouted, raised his head, checked his watch, and said to Gu Siwei: "It's getting late, so I won't accompany you. I'm going to pick up Yangyang from get off work."

"I know, drive carefully on the road," Gu Siwei said casually to his brother-in-law.

Before the brother-in-law could finish his words, Hu Yanping had already flashed to the side of his Borgward Z100, opened the car door and was about to get in, and go to pick up his girlfriend from get off work.

Hu Yanping's current girlfriend is not the girl he used to lick madly in college. His brother-in-law has once again proved a theorem: lick the dog, lick the dog, and lick the dog until there is nothing left!

The girl never looked at him in the eyes from beginning to end.
