The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 332 The Heirs
The conglomerates within Hans quietly formed a delegation that arrived in China. The delegation consisted of a dozen or twenty people, none of whom were ordinary individuals; they were all future heirs of their respective families.

These families saw that the Chinese had quietly mastered the production of carbon fiber, and they saw a hope—a hope for their family's expansion.

Just like after World War I, when the Hans' country cooperated with the Russians, Shen Sheng died internally, while Chong'er was safe externally.

If their investments are limited to Russia, it's as if they're controlled by the US. To achieve a breakthrough, they need to expand overseas, so they decided to increase their investments in China.

In addition to the cooperation on carbon fiber, the purpose of sending this delegation is to explore the market in China.

These are all heirs of large families, representing the future development of their families.

When the people in China learned that a group of heirs from prominent families were coming to investigate the domestic market, they were overjoyed. These were like gods of wealth; they were bringing not only money but also technology.

These guys are like locusts; the first thing they did when they got to Taiyi New Materials was to show goodwill to Liu Hua.

The arrogant and domineering family heirs portrayed in TV shows and novels are all figments of imagination. Real heirs of great families are truly tempered and refined, not only speaking politely but also treating others with kindness and gentleness.

The reason why such high-quality successors are still described as being like locusts is because they see carbon fiber monofilaments constantly flowing out of the production line.

They wanted to buy all the production capacity in one go, which was impossible for Liu Hua to agree to. He could only promise that all the production capacity of the new production line that would be completed in two months would belong to them.

However, that was only two or three thousand tons, not even enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of these conglomerates. The heir of the Quandt family simply pulled out his checkbook.

“Mr. Liu, I have a very high opinion of your company. Name your price. I only need 20% of the shares.”

After he started, the other heirs also pulled out their checkbooks to ask for investment, but unsurprisingly, Liu Hua rejected them all.

“My company cannot have foreign shares,” Liu Hua said with a smile. “There are some reasons for this that you don’t understand, just like Krupp a long time ago.”

Upon hearing this, everyone understood. They had been collecting documents, but the young master of the Quandt family was already writing checks.

“Since there’s no way to invest, let’s be friends.” Quante handed over the check: “Your company’s output is still too small. I can provide you with a sum of money for free, interest-free, to help you expand production as quickly as possible.”

The Quandt family has a history of nearly two centuries and owns shares in BMW Mini and Rolls-Royce. In addition, the family is also heavily involved in the chemical and technology industries. This scion of the Quandt family should not be underestimated.

Money delivered to one's doorstep is money well-deserved, and Liu Hua was eager to expand his production line. It wasn't that he lacked funds, but it would be even better if he could capitalize on this opportunity to generate more revenue.

Liu Hua promised them that he could provide them with 5,000 tons of production capacity after one year, and that the 20 million marks that the Quandt family had lent him would be repaid after five years.

Liu Hua also took them to visit his Taiyi Heavy Industry. When they learned how excellent these engines were, the Quandt family wanted to obtain the European agency rights.

Liu Hua could only shake his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, I really can't do as you wish. Apart from mainland China, I authorized Honda and Yamaha to handle the other regions two years ago. You've come too late."

“Those short Japanese devils are quick to act,” the Bosch family scion lamented. “Back then, they were too fast. Before we knew anything, they bombed Pearl Harbor, which ultimately led to their downfall.” Someone asked in bewilderment, “Why haven’t we seen Honda and Yamaha motorcycles with these engines in Europe?”

"Because I asked them for a share of the sales profits," Liu Hua said with a smile. "In order to get less money from me, they only produce and sell motorcycles with this engine in Asia, and they haven't done anything in Europe and America."

"These shorty bastards, as always, lack strategic vision." The young master of the Bosch family asked, "If you breach the contract, how much penalty will you have to pay?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "I don't intend to break the contract. They are currently giving me the minimum guaranteed dividend every year, which I am already quite satisfied with. Otherwise, they have plenty of ways to make the profit of this engine negative."

"You could have earned more."

Liu Hua laughed heartily: "I think you are well aware of the grudges between us and Japan, aren't you?"

"Of course, it's not just you; we also have many unresolved issues with him."

Liu Hua said with a smile, "I'm using their money to develop my own industry now. Once the patent licenses expire, I'll use my industrial scale to destroy them."

"Brilliant, that's what you call strategic vision."

After reaching an agreement with these young men, Liu Hua arranged to meet with people from the Ministry of Commerce and introduced them to the officials there.

Because their visit was not official, the Ministry of Commerce officials had been unable to make contact and were quite anxious. Now, thanks to Liu Hua's introduction, the two sides have successfully connected, much to the delight of the Ministry of Commerce officials.

They coveted the technology and capital of the Hans Kingdom, so they specially formed a tour group and took these young masters on a wild tour throughout the country.

Everything that could be shown to them was shown to them. After this tour, the results were remarkable. More than 2 billion yuan was invested, along with some technical support, and most of it was concentrated in heavy industry. The Ministry of Commerce's investment attraction achievements this year have taken off.

After seeing off the young master from Hans, the head of the Ministry of Commerce specially invited Liu Hua to dinner. Although it seemed that the Ministry of Commerce was entertaining this group of people, Liu Hua was not idle. He had been secretly giving advice to the Ministry of Commerce. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to leave behind more than 2 billion yuan in funds, let alone provide so much technical support.

Today is a banquet hosted by the Deputy Minister of Commerce, and tomorrow there's an invitation from the Ministry of Industry, especially from the head of the Industry Department. I heard Liu Hua went to the Ministry of Commerce's banquet first, but he's quite unhappy about it.

He felt that Liu Hua was probably someone who came from the industrial sector, so he should at least put his former employer first.

Liu Hua could only laugh off his former boss's jealousy; what could he do? He was helpless.

Unable to resist his old boss's grievances, Liu Hua had no choice but to agree to help him with another major project, a major project in the heavy industry sector.

When his former boss offered him a toast, Liu Hua readily agreed, but afterwards he was troubled.

Large-scale projects are not easy to undertake; they require the right timing, location, and people—all three are indispensable.
