Chapter 734 Motorcycles, the Earth Shakes

Chapter 734 Motorcycles, the Earth Shakes

When the time entered the middle of December 1988, the ass of a disobedient little guy in the south had been patted to shreds. As early as two years ago, the little guy was already engaged in reform and opening up, and he didn't want to jump around for a long time. .

There is no other way, the little guy can’t help but decide on his own, behind him there is an uncle who provides military aid of more than 1 billion rubles a year, there is no way, he can only cooperate with the rhythm of the "palm", and play queuing team with the palm very tacitly Playing war games.

Up to now, because of the reform and opening up, the little guy's life has begun to improve, but the military expenditure is very tight, the supplies are extremely scarce, and the logistics support problem is serious. The life of the army is even worse than during the anti-American period.

During a routine inspection, it was found that every 17 kilograms of military rations contained as many as two kilograms of small stones, straw and other sundries. I had to go to the homes of ordinary people to steal food such as rice and sugar cane.

Some troops in the northern region can't even sustain the supply of three meals a day, so they have to eat only two meals a day.

There is a shortage of staple food, and the supply of non-staple food is even worse. There is a serious shortage of vegetables, with an average of only 170 grams per person per day, not even four taels.

In addition, the medical conditions of the army are also very simple. The military hospitals, treatment centers, and health teams affiliated to the army are all outdated, and it is difficult to meet the normal treatment and recuperation. Because of the lack of timely treatment, many soldiers' physical fitness has seriously declined.

This year, the incidence of malaria, edema, hepatitis, anemia and other diseases among army soldiers has increased. Even among troops stationed in cities, the lowest rate of anemia has reached 20%, while the highest rate has reached 77%.

According to data from the Military Medical Bureau of the General Logistics Bureau, after some troops entered the mountainous area, hundreds of people suffered from falciparum malaria in just six months, resulting in dozens of deaths, and nearly 10,000 people were hospitalized for treatment.

Moreover, because of chaotic management, local factories and enterprises often did not deliver goods according to the contract, which caused major problems in the supply of military supplies for the army.

For example, frontline and island troops can only wear old military uniforms, while troops in some northern regions have not even issued winter uniforms according to the standard in winter.

Due to the shortage of fuel, the amount of fuel rationed to the army has generally decreased by 30 to 40%, which has caused many army vehicles to stop running, and even had to replace motor vehicles with non-motorized vehicles, which seriously affected the efficiency of the army. .

"School beauty, did you get an allowance when you were a soldier?"

"Yes, I receive a special allowance, the figure is relatively high, enough to buy 20 bowls of rice noodles."

"What about ordinary soldiers?"

"4 bowls of rice noodles."

"Well, is the name Fan Hongfu familiar?"

"Familiar, from the 559th Army, he led a team to cooperate with our team in one operation."

"What do you think of Vietnam's military doing business?"

"The People's Army needs to be self-sufficient from the day it was established. In order to raise military expenses, it has to engage in economic activities. This is an advanced experience learned from China."

"Don't talk about the old calendar." Nan Yi waved his hand and said: "The Vietnamese army is about to start doing business again. It's just a small-scale trial now, and it should be a big one in the not-too-distant future. Fan Hongfu is now the owner of BID trade. General manager, this is a company engaged in import and export trade, a military product of the 559th Army."

"Nansheng, what do you need me to do?"

Xiaohua knew that Nanyi would not talk about Fan Hongfu, an old acquaintance, to her inexplicably, and he must have intentions.

"In March this year, Shanpao went to Hanoi from Mong Cai. Several people from Wangmu Fruit Industry followed him. Now he has established a firm foothold in Hanoi. I need you to write a letter to Hanoi to introduce Shanpao to Fan Hongfu. .”

"Nansheng, I have a normal relationship with Fan Hongfu. Just a letter won't do much."

"Hehe, it doesn't need to play a big role, just use it as a stepping stone. If people want to communicate with each other, they need a foundation of trust. What Shanpao needs to do is to communicate in the early stage. When necessary, I will personally Go to Hanoi."

"I see."

Is there any business in Vietnam?

The answer to this question is yes, there is no doubt about it.

As early as when Ruan Zhiping, Ruan Zhiling and Le Van Thai were recruited, Nam Yi had actually set his sights on Vietnam, but due to the reason of "spanking", Nan's tentacles have been inconvenient to extend to Vietnam.

Not long ago, Nanyi learned that Huaguo and Vietnam had resumed trade relations. Vietnam imported several batches of light industrial products from Huaguo. He knew that the time to enter Vietnam had come.

Vietnam is now advocating economic development, and is already adjusting its relations with neighboring countries. Both the western and northern routes have withdrawn troops. Given that Vietnam has a large amount of cheap labor, once Vietnam ushers in peace, countries with more developed economies such as Japan and South Korea will definitely respond to it. With its capital export, many enterprises will invest in Vietnam and drive Vietnam's economic development.

With the economic development of Vietnam, people's lives will gradually become richer, and naturally many Vietnamese will choose to buy means of transportation - cars, to be precise, motorcycles.

There are many mountains, hills, jungles and high slopes in Vietnam. There is no market for bicycles in many areas of Vietnam. If you go out by bicycle in the mountains, it is actually not as comfortable as walking.

As for electric vehicles [regardless of the number of wheels, electric vehicles have a long history, but the market has chosen the fuel system] is also difficult to implement in Vietnam. First of all, many rural areas in Vietnam do not have electricity, and it is impossible to charge electric vehicles at all. .

Second, using electric vehicles is very power-hungry due to the average traffic and road conditions.

Third, Vietnamese people have the habit of using motorcycles to transport goods, and the power of electric vehicles is insufficient to support them at all.

Therefore, whether it is electric vehicles or bicycles, the market in Vietnam is not very large, but motorcycles are very suitable for the actual situation in Vietnam.

The price of cars is relatively expensive. For Vietnamese people with low average income, buying a car is very luxurious. Only the upper middle class will drive a car to go out. Most Vietnamese people still choose motorcycles.

Vietnam’s motorcycle market has a huge potential. Motorcycle companies from Japan, South Korea, Europe, and China will all look at this cake. Similarly, Nanyi also likes this cake. Moreover, he also wants to try his best to accounted for more.

At the earliest time, Nanyi once thought of being a second-hand dealer and importing domestic motorcycle products to Vietnam, but his memory told him that the domestic motorcycle companies could not afford it. Chen Yaojin still had three axes, but motorcycle companies only had There are two measures in both directions - reducing configuration and reducing costs, and price wars.

Because of this, Nanyi is going to divide it into two steps: first, register a motorcycle brand, then find a domestic motorcycle company to do OEM, sign a strict contract, do it according to his requirements, and earn money honestly OEM fees, dare to fool around and pay for dead motorcycle companies.

Second, establish a domestic company specializing in engine research and development, and then form a joint venture with a local motorcycle company in Vietnam to guide Vietnam on a road of motorcycle development that trades the market for technology.

Whether it is the first step or the second step, if you want to go well and go smoothly, you can't do without the support of the Vietnamese military. The Nan family needs to cooperate with the Vietnamese military and borrow the advantages of the military. Also give up most of the benefits.

This is not difficult for Nanyi. He has always been clear about how much share he should get in the partnership business, and he will not be jealous of partners who get more than him.

The education he received since he was a child made him clearly understand what "distribution according to work" is. More work, more pay, less work, less pay, is very fair.

Does Nanshi have its own accumulation of motorcycle engine technology?

No, there is only one way to buy.

"Yami, the brand of Wolagang [Qiangliang] Automobile Group can be erected."

"President, produce motorcycles first?"

"Yes, screen the acquisition targets and acquire a motorcycle production company as soon as possible."

"It's a bit difficult. Motorcycle companies are all large companies, and it's not that easy to acquire them." Masami Ueto said.

"I didn't let you focus on Japanese Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc. The price to buy them is too high, you can target European and American, whether it is Ducati, Augusta, Aprilia , Piaggio, KTM, Indian, and Bombardier are all very suitable acquisition targets."

"Do you want to include Guangyang and Sanyang as alternative targets?"

"You can figure it out." Nanyi rubbed his temples and said, "Hurry up, Vietnam is already moving, so don't hold back."

"Definitely not."

"Firstly."

In the layout of motorcycles, Nanyi not only sees the prospects of the Vietnamese market, but also keeps an eye on the Indian market. Speaking of which, the Indian motorcycle market is even bigger.

Across rural and urban India, motorcycles are the dominant mode of transport, with fleets almost spilling onto sidewalks during rush hour. In terms of purchasing family transportation, less than 10% of the relatively wealthy tens of millions of families in India choose cars, while the rest of the low- and middle-income families mainly choose motorcycles.

India’s transportation is underdeveloped, and there is a severe shortage of parking lots. Most white-collar workers also use motorcycles as their main means of transportation for their convenience. In addition, when ordinary people in India get married, no matter how poor the woman’s parents are, they still have to borrow money to buy a motorcycle as a gift. groom, otherwise it will be difficult for the bride to enter the groom's house.

Under the temptation of the Indian motorcycle market, many large foreign companies want to come to get a share.

Honda was one step ahead. It landed in India in 1983 and jointly produced "Hero Honda" motorcycles with a local hero company. In the third year, it also established a wholly-owned Honda Motorcycle India Company in an attempt to occupy the most potential motorcycle market.

In addition, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Spain's LML are all stalking, while India's Bhajaji has a local advantage and is also making steady progress.

The situation in India is completely different from that in Vietnam. Vietnamese people have no money but don’t choose bad products. They are willing to spend more money to buy good ones. Indians are open and fast, and they have many skills. They are very capable of doing things themselves. It doesn't matter, they will modify it by themselves.

After modification, the performance of the motorcycle will have a qualitative leap. Other people's cars can pull up to three or four people, and their cars can pull down a reinforcement battalion.

India is a land that is very suitable for motorcycle companies to fight price wars. Nanyi does not intend to develop this market by itself. He intends to introduce domestic brands to India for joint ventures or cooperation, and give full play to their price advantages to compete with non-local brands in India.

India also engages in the market-for-technology routine. Without cooperation with local Indian companies, foreign motorcycle brands simply cannot be sold.

December 17.

Since there were people from Shanghai Hua Pharmaceutical Factory on the construction site of Huaguo Shenyou Factory, Nan Yi just took a look at the construction site from a distance, and then boarded the plane to Xiangtang.

December 19th.

Wearing a green leather military coat and four pairs of trousers, the slightly bloated Nan Yi appeared on the streets of the capital, with his hands folded into his sleeves, his steps were very small, slipping and slipping, a little staggering reclined.

Stumbling, Nan Yi came to the door of Huanyu Restaurant, opened the heavy cotton curtain on the door curtain, and walked into the restaurant.

"Brother Nan, you're here."

Tu Yu, who was counting money at the counter, stood up and greeted Nan Yi enthusiastically when he saw Nan Yi.

Nan Yi took off the felt hat on his head and shook it off, took his hands out of his sleeves, and leaned over to the stove to bake, "Well, it's really cold outside today."

"It's cold. No one goes out in this weather, and the business in the store has dropped a lot."

Tu Yu took out an enamel jar, first poured some boiling water to rinse it, then poured some boiling water into it, went to Nanyi and handed it to him.

Nanyi took the cup, held it in his hand, and said, "Do you want to produce disposable lighters?"

"Yes, last time a fellow villager came to the store. He is a manufacturer of lighters. He sells them very well. Now some people sell them for more than a dozen yuan, and others sell them for four or five yuan."

"Think about it clearly, no matter if it's more than a dozen yuan or four or five yuan, this price is not a normal price, it's just that people are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it because they think it's new, and what they're buying is a novelty.

Disposable lighters seem to have a bit of technical content now, but the content is not high. You can make it, and others can do it. If there are more people doing it, its novelty will pass, and the price will return to the functional attributes, and it will be more expensive. Compete with others on price.

Individual profits will be lower year by year, and in the end it is possible that one can only earn two or three cents. "

After thinking of the idea of ​​a disposable lighter before, Nanyi did not think about it. He has let people know about the process of disposable lighters, and has also evaluated the cost after mass production and industrial chain. For disposable lighters, Nanyi’s The understanding is also deeper than before.

Moreover, Nanyi personally holds many patents related to disposable lighters.

Tu Yu nodded, and said: "I have thought about it, one person can't make much money, but the amount should not be small. There are so many people smoking across the country, and every household needs raw coal stoves, stoves, and other markets. It should be possible to sell hundreds of millions of lighters a year."

"If you look at the whole world, the market will be more optimistic. You can expect billions or tens of billions a year, but it's hard to say how much you can account for in this number."

Tu Yu smiled, "Brother Nan, I can't compare with you. Even if you only earn three cents a piece, you can sell tens of millions a year and earn hundreds of thousands. This is very good for me. .”

"Hehe, if your goal is only tens of millions, then don't worry about this business. You have to make it bigger, and at least you should work hard in the direction of one billion, so that there is more room for maneuvering." " Nan Yi said half-jokingly.

"I can't even imagine what it would be like to have a billion. It's better to be down-to-earth and step by step."

"It's good to be pragmatic. Since you want to do it but are not in a hurry to do it, then you must have some ideas on my side. I will stay a few more days when I come back this time. I will give you a few days to prepare and think about it carefully." How should you tell me, on the 27th, which is next Wednesday, you go to my place to find me, and we will talk in detail."

Nan Yi said that he took a sip of the hot water in the enamel jar, and then put the enamel jar on the counter, "I still have other places to go, and you don't need to ask me to eat, prepare well, I'll go first."

"Ah..." Tu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, Brother Nan, I'll see you off."

After walking out of Summoning the Rain, Nan Yi thought about it again.

If Tu Yu doesn't look for him this time, Nanyi will take the initiative to find someone who wants to enter the field of disposable lighters.

It costs money to register a patent. What's more, Nanyi racked his brains to draw the disassembled diagram of the disposable lighter. The picture was redesigned in combination with Nanyi's dictation, and then people made the real thing.

The cost of large-scale production is allocated to each product, and the individual cost will not be too high, but if only a few are produced, the cost will be sky-high. Not to mention other things, the cost of mold opening alone needs to be spent several times. You must know The disposable lighter was disassembled, but there were about thirty parts.

After a whole set of processes, a patent matrix can be formed in the end, and manpower and material resources are spent a lot, so we have to find a way to make up for it.

After getting in the car, Nan Yi came to Huazhong Trade in about 50 minutes. After negotiating with the receptionist, he was taken to Chen Feng's office.

"Mr. Chen, hello, hello." When the receptionist left the office, Nan Yi bowed and walked in front of Chen Feng, held Chen Feng's hand, shaking it violently up and down, "Thanks to Mr. Chen, we The village finally had three dishes and one soup, and the villagers all said, when I see you, let me take back the meal money you owe our village."

"I don't even inquire. I don't even pay the bill when I eat out in the city. I eat some of your rotten pumpkins, and you want me to give you money?"

"Damn it, it's obviously a watermelon. You're talking about pumpkins, pointing fingers and scolding Huai." Nan Yi spat.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Beating, I heard that you came to ask me for help this time?"

Nanyi put away his ruffian energy, sat down opposite Chen Feng, and threw a business card on the table, "I can't talk about asking for your help, I just want to cooperate with you in Central China trade, because of your level It’s too low, I won’t tell you anything specific, but I’ll give you a chance to make meritorious deeds and take me to meet your chairman.”

"Wonderful idea, who is our chairman who said he can see you?" Chen Feng glared and said: "Go outside and leave your name and phone number, and wait for me in a year or so. Our chairman finds time, maybe I'll call you over to meet me."

"Stop talking nonsense, there is business."

"I can't do business, the chairman is not here, I have gone south, and I will come to the company the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

"Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier, it made me go for nothing."

"I can't come and see, I just need your help." Chen Feng said, found a document and handed it to Nan Yi, "I don't understand Spanish, please help me."

Nan Yi raised his hand and patted the document back, "Look at the hammer, you treat me as your subordinate, let your translation department translate for you."

Foreign-related companies like Huazhong Trade will be equipped with translation talents. Generally speaking, it is either a translation office or a translation department. If there is a translation office, the scale of the company will be limitless.

"Come on, the grandson of the translation department has two knives in Spanish. I dare not give him the translation. I beg you. This document is not convenient for outsiders to read. I am worried."

"Okay, okay, I'll show you."

Now that Chen Feng was subdued, Nanyi didn't stretch out, and took the document over to look at it.

"Inquiry, the other party wants a kind of steel, I can't translate the model, I don't know the special words for the industry, and it doesn't say how much it needs, you have to contact the other party to ask." Nanyi threw it back after reading the document. He went to the table and said, "That's right, the business has been done in Equatorial Guinea."

"Of course, I've been playing with you all these years. Let me tell you, I've brought back more than 30 million US dollars in business from Africa." Chen Feng said slyly.

Nan Yi gave a thumbs up, "Forget it, since your chairman is not here, I will slip away first."

"Don't mind, it's time for lunch, let's go together."

"Forget it, I've already agreed to go to my mother-in-law's house for lunch."

"Then at night, this weather is the best time to boil mutton."

"Besides, wait for my call in the afternoon."

In a flash, Nanyi arrived at the Pearl Banquet. It was time for dinner, and there were many guests in the restaurant.

When he came to the mother-in-law's place, no matter who he was or what he was outside, he would all turn into Xiao X, and Nan Yi was no exception. When it came to the Pearl Banquet, he became Xiao Nan, um, Xiao Nan, the waiter.

Serve food at this table, drink at that table, and clean up the leftovers at another table, being sent around.

Nanyi can't go to Liu's house a few times a year. As a son-in-law with rough feet, it's rare to come here. It's really unreasonable not to behave well.

Spinning continuously like a top, it was hard to get through the meal time. By the time it was two o'clock in the afternoon, it was considered to have sent all the guests away, and it was time for the people in the store to eat.

But the business in the store today was not bad. As a chef, Peng Hongliang was exhausted, so he just dealt with his own food. He fried two unremarkable dishes and two leftovers from customers who didn't use their chopsticks much.

Don't think it's too late, it's very common for those who open a small restaurant to eat leftovers from their customers.

"Nanyi, do you have time tomorrow?"

Just after eating two mouthfuls of food, Nanyi's mother-in-law, Lu Bifang, spoke.

"Mom, tell me what you need."

"Your second brother made a girlfriend, and he will bring her here tomorrow. If you're free, you'd better come over for dinner tomorrow night, and we'll check it out with you."

"Okay, I'll come over early tomorrow." Nan Yi nodded and agreed.

At the beginning, Liu Zhen helped her second brother Liu Menghu ask about the business of disposable lighters. Nanyi said that it would cost 500,000 yuan for an idea. It may be because of this that Liu Menghu did not choose to do the lighter business in the end, but opened a shop selling motorcycles. .

Liu Menghu didn't ask Nanyi for help in opening this shop. As for whether Liu Zhen subsidized in private, Nanyi didn't know very well. He never asked Liu Zhen where his private money went, and he didn't know much about Liu Zhen's salary. .

"Feibao hasn't called back for several months, Nanyi, do you know his recent situation?"

"Third brother is very good in Xiangtang. Mom, if you miss third brother, you can call him. You don't have to wait for him to call."

"Forget it, I'll wait, the long distance is quite expensive." Lu Bifang smacked her lips and said, "This bastard must have been out in the wild and forgot about my old lady."

Liu Feibao should be staying in Xiangsong with a lot of joy. Two months ago, he just changed a girlfriend who was a nightclub mommy. That girl seemed to love him to death. The two are still not together.

Nanyi doesn't really want to hear about Liu Feibao, because he has to waste a person on him. The daily report about him is only when he thinks about it. When the subordinates heard Liu Feibao's name, it was likely that this grandson had caused a catastrophe.

No matter what Lu Bifang was thinking about, Nanyi just didn't answer, and didn't give Lu Bifang a chance to climb up the pole at all. He really didn't want to waste his energy because of Liu Feibao.

After eating at the Pearl Banquet, Nanyi went to Wanwanzhuang.

million villages.

After Gong Xue trimmed the potted plants on the window sill, she leaned in front of the window and practiced Taiyi boxing with her hands up.

When she was a girl, Gong Xue had a thin body, so her father asked her to worship her senior brother as a godfather, and practice Taiyi boxing and Taiyi footwork with her godfather. She is not afraid of hard work and has amazing perseverance. Start practicing while standing on a shelf, and then you can pass your feet over your head, open your chin to touch your toes, and bend your waist into an arch. His Taiyi footwork and countering the enemy's retreat are practiced proficiently, and outsiders are not allowed to get close to him.

"Okay, very good, you're good at boxing, you can set up a stall under the overpass." Nan Yi came behind Gong Xue, applauded and said.

Gong Xue put away her airs, glanced at Nan Yi, clasped her fists and said, "Gong Gong Xue, a lay disciple of Wudang Taiyi Sect, did you ask for advice?"

Nan Yi cupped his fists in return, "It's easy to say, the master of Nan's Mad Dog Fist, you can call me Master Nan."

"Why does Nanzhang want to provoke my Taiyi Sect?"

"Flower boxing and embroidered legs dare to represent the Taiyi sect. Let me teach you what boxing is."

As soon as Nanyi finished speaking, the person rushed forward, and when he got close to Gong Xue, Yun Jin yelled, grabbed Gong Xue's clothes with both hands and pulled them to both sides, "Hahaha, the old lady has it."

"Don't tear it, don't tear it, tear it apart."

"It's broken, it's broken, it's enjoyable when it's broken, shout, call me for help!"

"screw you!"

Gong Xue's cheeks blushed, and after being quiet for a while, she shouted at the top of her voice, "Help, help!"

...

"You haven't done much in the past year, do you feel bored?" More than an hour later, the perpetrator lying on the bed said to the victim.

"No, it's good to practice calligraphy, painting, take care of potted plants every day, and occasionally go to the company, that's..."

Gong Xue hesitated to speak.

Nan Yi stroked Gong Xue's beautiful hair, "Lack of companionship, or is the family urging the marriage?"

"Both."

"What was the standard for choosing a spouse that you told your mother before?

Oh, by the way, one is to be 1.8 meters tall, the other is to have a college degree or above, the third is to have an intellectual family, the fourth is to have a career, the fifth is to be talented, the sixth is not to be ugly, and the seventh is to have a family. One is to have a sense of humor. Eighth, when she is acting in a love scene, she hugs and kisses people, and he is not jealous.

On this standard, you will never find your other half, you can only be a happy bachelor. "

Gong Xue looked up into Nanyi's eyes, and said sullenly: "Some things taste bad when they come out of your mouth, I don't care, if my family forces me again, you will help me deal with it."

"How can I deal with it? Tell them, your daughter, a 35-year-old girl, is filling in a house for a 26-year-old married man for me, and she is enjoying it, so don't urge her to get married. .”

"Did you do it on purpose? Without adding age, will your sentence be ambiguous?"

Nan Yi chuckled, "Of course, if you don't add age, you will be at a disadvantage. Now you are the old cow who eats the tender grass and picks it up."

"Nonsense, no matter how old I am, the one I handed over to you is also a big girl with yellow flowers, how about you?"

"No, it's the old lady Huang Hua."

"Hmph, ignore you."

Gong Xue pulled up the quilt and covered her head, feeling sullen.

Nan Yi shook his head, bitterness appeared on his face.

Avoiding some problems for a while does not mean that there is no need to solve them. Gong Xue's family will have to face them sooner or later. They are an intellectual family, and Gong Xue's parents are middle-aged literary artists. This test is not easy.

"Forget it, let's procrastinate for a while, I don't have the heart to think about this issue this year."

Nan Yi muttered, and lifted the quilt, and the sky was dark again, and the ground shook.
