Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Who would believe that!

Christian isn't a child; of course, he knows how strong the Easterners' ability to copy is.

If the NG80 heavy truck were handed over to the Easterners, they would definitely survey and replicate it!

Then their Mercedes-Benz company would get nothing.

Now, what should they do?

To avoid being copied, should they withdraw from the Eastern market?

Of course not!

Look at the Swedes, counting money until their hands cramp.

A Steyr, unheard of in Europe, has become a hot commodity in the East.

Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks also have to come to the East to make money!

Even if they don't enter the Eastern market, the Easterners can find other ways to purchase Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks from the international market and then copy them.

The negotiation was nearing its end. Qin Yang picked up his water glass, leisurely drinking tea, waiting for the Germans' reaction.

To introduce Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks, Factory 960 could spend money.

After all, Qin Yang wasn't short of money.

Introducing Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks could improve the overall level of the domestic heavy truck industry and also allow Factory 960 to develop and grow.

The money that should be spent must be spent.

However, having spent the money, they must obtain the technology, and also reduce costs, to provide diversified choices for the domestic market.

"President Qin, today's meeting will end here.

Our Mercedes-Benz heavy truck prototype will soon be loaded onto a cargo ship, crossing the ocean to the East to demonstrate its performance," Christian said.

"As for other projects, we will make a decision after discussing them domestically."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your reply.

Next, please go to the Friendship Hotel for accommodation.

We will hold a welcome banquet tonight."

Christian nodded.

Watching the Germans leave by car, Nie Xiaoqian said, "Brother Yang, will they agree to our conditions?"

"Of course," Qin Yang nodded.

Nie Xiaoqian would handle everything Qin Yang arranged well.

She continued, "We have also revealed this news to those Germans, and Mercedes-Benz headquarters should also know about it."

Friendship Hotel.

Originally, making transoceanic calls could only be done at the Post and Telecommunications Building, but the Friendship Hotel was for receiving foreigners, so for the convenience of foreigners to contact, external lines were also specially set up here.

Putting down the phone, Christian's expression was serious.

"How is it? What did the higher-ups say?"

"The higher-ups said they need to hold a meeting to study and decide," Christian said.

"After all, there has never been such a precedent."

"That's right, our Mercedes-Benz heavy truck has never installed engines from other brands since its birth!"

"The Easterners are simply daydreaming!"

"Let's export a batch first and let them try it out on the parade ground.

After that, they will fall in love with it, and then they will have to buy our Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks at high prices!

Steyr simply can't compare to us!"

Amidst everyone's discussions, Christian continued, "I also heard news from headquarters that the Easterners went to our SES organization and invited a group of experts to come over.

It is estimated that the first batch of three people will form an expert group and come to the East for inspection."

"What? What are they going to do?"

Everyone immediately became nervous.

SES, the Senior Expert Service of Germany, is a non-profit organization that mainly provides technical assistance to employers in the technical, economic, agricultural, and service industries by sending retired experts.

Since it is a non-profit nature, it does not charge various fees.

The requesting unit only needs to contact and coordinate, and bear the transportation, accommodation, and catering costs, so it is welcomed by many countries.

Now, the relationship between the West and the East is very good.

The East is seeking assistance from this organization, and Germany will of course send some people over.

"They also specially invited Griesheim to come over," Christian continued.

"Griesheim?

Didn't he say he was going to travel the world with others?

What is he doing in the East?"

"Could it be that the Easterners want to survey and replicate our engines? Impossible, Griesheim would not agree."

"He certainly wouldn't agree to the Easterners' surveying and replication, but his arrival will greatly improve the industrial quality of the East!

Moreover, this person was personally asked to come by President Qin, which shows that President Qin is indeed going to make a big splash," Christian said.

"If our Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks don't cooperate, then perhaps he will go to other heavy truck factories."

Europe not only has Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks, but also MAN, and Scania.

Now, everyone sees that Steyr is making money, and they all have ideas about entering the Eastern market.

Griesheim's trip to the East plan completely put Mercedes-Benz in a dilemma.

Salute to this old man

Werner-Griesheim, born in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany in 1919, graduated from the Darmstadt Aviation Technology Engineering School in Germany.

After that, he began a career spanning decades.

He has been the director of many factories, especially engine factories, and has accumulated a high reputation in the industry.

Everyone knows that once he goes to the East, he will definitely be able to exert his role, especially if he goes to Factory 960!

The afternoon sun sprinkled into the room, and an old man with white hair sat in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside: gardens, lawns, children playing.

"Mr. Griesheim, you have retired and can live a comfortable life in the country. Why do you want to go to the East? It is said that people there can't even get enough to eat," a voice came from behind.

"That's right, precisely because they can't even get enough to eat, I want to go there, let them improve product quality, so that they, and their children, can have enough to eat."

The ideological realm of many Germans is still very high.

The great communist thought was born in the mind of the German Marx.

Now, many craftsmen also have lofty awareness.

Griesheim, who has worked for most of his life, can indeed live a comfortable life at home, and can also travel the world, but he wants to help more people, and he is very curious about the East and Factory 960.

His gaze retracted and placed on the wall, where an air gun was hanging.

A few years ago, when he had just retired, he bought an air gun from the market, a Lion brand air gun produced by Factory 960.

He was surprised by the manufacturing process of the East and could not believe that this could be produced by the East, which inherited the shoddy Soviet style.

In recent years, he has also been constantly learning about the East and is full of interest in Factory 960.

He has a feeling of mutual appreciation for the man named Qin Yang, so when he received the invitation, he couldn't wait.

"But now, we are negotiating with the Easterners, and you have become their bargaining chip."

"I know what you want to say," Griesheim said.

"If they want me to help survey and replicate the Mercedes-Benz engine, of course it is impossible, that is not something a craftsman should do.

I just want to see the East and see Factory 960."

Griesheim's gaze once again looked out the window, towards the East, looking forward to a different harvest from this trip to the East.
