What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 73 High-tech

When was Project 1024 launched?

Tang Wen couldn't quite remember it, but it was a routine that only appeared in the new century.

As the culmination of brainwashing rhetoric throughout history, MLM has exaggerated infectiousness and persuasiveness regardless of education level, gender, age or status.

A bunch of people handed over their property, slept on the floor with their relatives and friends, and ate boiled potatoes, and still believed that they could make a fortune. In Tang Wen's opinion, it was simply outrageous.

But it is undeniable that painting an epic pie in the sky, combined with mysticism, conspiracy theories, and public intellectuals' rhetoric, can easily make people believe in seemingly impossible things.

——Of course, if you don’t get to eat the pie in the sky, it’s just a lie. If you distribute it and eat it, it means you can make money together with everyone.

Tang Wen helped the village build roads, set up a fishery company, and develop a tourist village. The villagers also received real money, so naturally they had no doubts.

Gaijin creates jobs, and the village chief Chen Yonggui provides full assistance. This is the most perfect complementary tooth!

The next morning, the construction team and the villagers who were helping to build the road discovered that a strange large ship had suddenly appeared in the bay.

But the village chief and the villagers who helped out at night said the same thing: the cement boat is a tourist prop and is being renovated, so no outsiders are allowed to approach!
Although they were surprised, everyone believed it firmly. At most, they stayed a little longer because they had never seen a big ship, which provided new topics for conversation after dinner.

……

"Be careful, if you break it, it'll cost thousands to repair!"

In Echeng, Wu Long directed the logistics company to load the packaged engines onto trucks.

Because the shipyard had not yet prepared inland transport ships, the first batch of diesel engines delivered to the Sanwang Factory, as well as several high-horsepower diesel engine prototypes, were transported from the Gaijin Factory to the city, and then handed over to a logistics fleet that would transport them from Echeng to Guangxi Province.

The logistics cost of several thousand yuan at a time is not cheap, but for the sake of speed and efficiency, this is currently the best way.

Of course, the fastest and safest way to transport it is by train. There is a train from Echeng to Guigang, but the carriage resources are very limited, and Wu Long couldn't get one no matter how hard he tried.

There are three types of engines: V6 naturally aspirated, V6 supercharged and V12 naturally aspirated. Although the weight and horsepower of these three engines far exceed the needs of Sanwang agricultural machinery, they all plan to buy one of each to try.

First, I've never seen such a high-horsepower powertrain, and second, the pricing strategy:
The B2 series diesel engine technology is indeed old. These diesel engines have no advantages in fuel consumption and power ratio. Except for the reliability and excellent power of magic manufacturing, they all have shortcomings.

Tang Wen waved his hand and asked Wu Long to find a way to check the quotes of other power plants and sell the same level of products at a 30% discount.

If the price is too low, it may damage the market; if it is too high, the product cannot be sold. 30% off is just right. The 30% saved can be regarded as the extra gas money spent by users.

However, this was undoubtedly great news for Sanwang Agricultural Machinery, and the quotation sheet given by Wu Long was almost irresistible.

The most basic 265-horsepower V6 engine costs only 12000 yuan, which is cheaper than Yuchai's 100-horsepower engine.

There is almost no need to consider whether to buy a cheaper old flagship phone or a much more expensive new entry-level phone.

High fuel consumption and heavy weight are not a problem; a cheap and durable car is enough to cover all the shortcomings.

Even shareholders with vested interests in other engine suppliers have to admit that Gaijin's high-horsepower engine will completely change the status of Sanwang Sibuxiang agricultural machinery.

Users who buy Sibu Xiang want it to be cheaper than a truck, so they just accept it if the performance is not as good.

If the Sibu Xiang is stronger than a truck and more affordable, wouldn't it dominate the world?
Fuel consumption? These days, cars consume over ten liters of fuel, so no one cares about that.

Moreover, bosses in the mountain transportation industry are reluctant to use genuine fuel from the two petrochemical and oil giants.

For something a little better, you can use private fuel from small refineries. If you are not particular, you can choose a mobile gas station with a van. The price is much cheaper than retail.

If it weren't for the need for caution, Sanwang Agricultural Machinery would have immediately ordered all the engines. After personally watching the engine crates being secured and requesting a partial deposit from the logistics company owner, Wu Long finally felt relieved and called Sanwang Factory to confirm that the engines had been shipped.

The reason why he didn't escort the car himself was because he had more important business now.

According to the address given by Tang Wen, Wu Long quickly found Chen Ming in the guesthouse.

For the transaction worth US$120,000, both parties first confirmed the price of the diesel engine set, the labor dispatch fee for the Gaijin Shipyard to support the transformation, the date and other details, and then went to the Agricultural Bank of China in Echeng to find Vice President Zhang to witness the transaction.

Currently, foreign exchange entering the country is not directly transferred to households. Although the country has nearly 100 billion in foreign exchange reserves, it is still insufficient for the entire country.

If local governments want to introduce foreign technology or purchase foreign products, they need to come up with foreign exchange.

Foreign exchange received overseas cannot be credited directly to your account and will be converted into RMB according to the official exchange rate before being credited to your account.

But foreign exchange will not disappear for no reason, and the bank that undertakes this foreign exchange exchange business can also obtain some foreign exchange indicators.

So when he heard that there was a foreign exchange reserve of 8.3 US dollars, Vice President Zhang personally took charge of the transaction and exchanged it for 99.6 RMB at the market value exchange rate of .

However, when transferring the information between the two parties, Vice President Zhang carefully looked at the records a few more times and asked curiously:
"Manager Wu, I just realized that this is Gaijin Power, not Gaijin Shipyard?"

Wu Long was proud of signing a million-dollar deal. He was lighting a cigarette and muttered:
"Don't worry, it's also Boss Tang's company, but we only deal in engines. We handle everything from tractors to large ships!"

"And the agricultural machinery factory imports engines through you. Is that so extravagant?"

"That's not the case. This Hong Kong order is the import agency's only order. The rest are all made in our factory."

"Build an engine? Gaijin?"

"That's right, it's good quality and cheap, it will definitely become famous in no time!"

After listening to Wu Long's words and looking at the account transfer details, Vice President Zhang did not expect that the shipyard had such capabilities.

The engine is so high-end that even the one used in tractors is amazing, and the sales volume is often hundreds of thousands.

This is unusual and it is a true technology-based pillar enterprise.

Vice President Zhang's eyes turned, and he took the initiative to give Wu Long a pack of Double Happiness:
"Manager Wu, do you also make your own engines at the shipyard?"

"Of course. How can you call it shipbuilding if you just build a hull? Even though we're currently the agent for imported engines, it won't be long before we're also building our own large diesel engines for ships."

What Wu Long knew was also revealed by Tang Wen. Tang Wen planned to sell various engines as the shipyard expanded. Compared with engines for cars and ships, engines for cars and ships are more valuable.

He is now also investigating the marine engine market to look for business opportunities.

Vice President Zhang was delighted and said:
"Our bank still has plenty of policy loan quotas left. You can build ships and engines, so why don't you apply for certification as a high-tech enterprise? A policy was just introduced this year, allowing certification even if you're not in a high-tech zone."

Once you're certified, you can get a support loan with very low interest rates, and you can pay it back a few years later."

"This... I need to talk to Mr. Tang about it."

Wu Long was a little scratching his head. Although the shipyard was quite capable, he was not sure whether it could meet the high-tech standards.

Vice President Zhang: "That's okay, let's just build momentum first."
