Chapter 482 Xiao Liu’s thoughts (first update)

The Hornet sports car is the most classic super sports car. It is limited to 1 units worldwide. The first one was sold for pounds. It is the emperor's custom-made lapis lazuli blue car and is also the No. .

The price of the subsequent Bumblebee sports cars has increased year by year. The basic model in the year of this collision was priced at 30 pounds, and the combined price was 75 US dollars. Even if the car owner is a steel tycoon, he will be careful when driving, because at this time, 75 US dollars U.S. dollars are really valuable.

And as the number of members in sports car clubs has increased over the years, many people want to buy a car and join this circle, because the lowest number in this circle is a multi-millionaire.

In such a circle, if you have any difficulties, maybe they can be solved by having a meal or attending a cocktail party.

Especially in terms of financial connections, so the price of a second-hand Hornet sports car, the most basic model, starts at one million US dollars. This is not something you can just buy if you want, because the Supercar Club will track the owners of each car. .

To put it bluntly, it is to set a threshold. This is the first time in these years that the impact has been so severe.

In fact, winter has just passed in North America now, and the bears are coming out of hibernation, and they are probably dazzled for a while.

The owner's life was not in danger. The car had strong protective measures. Of course, the car also had a buffering effect when it crashed into the woods on the roadside. If it had fought with a stone, it would have been a disaster.

The newspapers were more concerned about the repair price of this car. The owner of the car had multiple fractures, including his nose, so it was obvious that he was hospitalized.

Moreover, the car owner was in the limelight because of this incident.

After the motorcycle factory quoted a price, the Rover car dealer quoted a repair fee of half a million pounds.

The media were shocked by this figure. Five hundred thousand pounds and more than one million US dollars were just gone?

After hearing the quotation, the car owner not only did not feel it was expensive, but also said that he hoped to see his repair partner after he recovered from his injury.

Rover Cars has made an evaluation and estimates that the repair time will be 6-9 months.

This news spread back to China, and even the higher-level departments took a breath of air-conditioning. Is this quote really being repaired? This is more than one million US dollars, just to repair a car?

Is it enough to buy a new car?

Liu Hai also didn't expect that the dealer quoted 500,000 pounds, and the car owner agreed so happily.

"Tsk, tsk." When Sun Aiguo reported to the leader, everyone was trying to give it a try. Unexpectedly, it actually happened. Sun Aiguo felt that he did not understand this matter.

"These people have so much money." Sun Aiguo sighed twice and didn't know what to say. Repairing a car costs more than one million US dollars? How much grain and steel will we buy?

Liu Hai chuckled: "This car is rare."

Liu Hai can't explain the mentality of rich people. Let's put it this way, in the minds of these rich people, one hundred thousand dollars and one million US dollars are almost the same. And if you say that repairing a car only costs one hundred thousand US dollars, the car owner may just not want it.

This price was unworthy of his status. It was a million dollars, but the car owner felt that he had gained face and felt that he had paid a good price.

"The number of this car is 61. Can we start making parts?" Sun Aiguo didn't agree with Liu Hai's words. No matter how small it is, it's just a car.

Moreover, Sun Aiguo feels that the Hornet does not suit his aesthetics. He still likes that off-road vehicle, which is as big as a convenience medical vehicle. This is impressive enough.

"There's no rush for now, there's enough time." Liu Hai shook his head and said, the damage to the car would need to be inspected before talking.

"I think it's time to get a new car." Sun Aiguo expressed his thoughts.

Liu Hai shook his head and said: "This is not good. People have feelings when using things. Just like my desk, I have used it for many years."

Liu Hai's desk is made of a whole piece of mahogany, and it is difficult for two people to lift it. When Liu Hai passes through it, it is probably worth a million.

"Listen to you." Sun Aiguo didn't know what to say, so he just listened to Liu Hai anyway.

Liu Hai didn't take this matter to heart. The sports car workshop has complete files, as well as the materials and drawings of various parts and interior patterns, ensuring that they can be repaired exactly the same.

"We have obtained the patent for the convenience medical vehicles we exported, and the first batch of exports has been accepted by Niu Niu. Guess where these convenient medical vehicles bought by Niu Niu are placed?" Sun Aiguo said another thing. .

Liu Hai thought about it for a while and realized that it was not needed in Europe, but what about other places, so he asked: "Southeast Asia?"

"Well, buy two sets of convenient medical vehicles and send them directly to Southeast Asia. Niu Niu is causing trouble there. Many opposition soldiers there need medical treatment. It is said that the beatings were severe." Sun Aiguo nodded and said.

When Liu Hai heard this, he became interested and asked, "Does it take up a lot of space?"

"Niuniu dispatched two aircraft carrier fleets to directly blockade all sea areas, and then the opposition occupied islands one by one."

"I don't know the specifics, but it is said that Niu Niu has a powerful blockade, and has also purchased many of our seaplanes for reconnaissance and other things."

"There are more and more people in the opposition group, and they have sufficient equipment and supplies, but the other side lacks this and that."

"However, if the opposition wins, there will be no benefit. It is said that many mines have signed exclusive development agreements. Niu Niu is mainly interested in the natural resources, rubber, minerals and so on."

"I only heard about it at the internal meeting. Niu Niu has a very strong blockade there. There is not much news out there. We can only estimate it from the various materials we purchased." Sun Aiguo said.

Liu Hai knew a little about Southeast Asia. Niu Niu used to have a lot of say there. Wen Lai only became independent in the mid-80s, and Niu Niu protected him before.

Later, as Niu Niu's international influence gradually declined, it lost this area, but its economic influence and cultural influence are still there.

"The main reason is that dealers need a lot of materials." Liu Hai nodded. These dealers must want to control the upstream materials to avoid being controlled by people from the United States.

This is what business wars are like. If dealers don't go there to cause trouble, maybe the United States will go too. If you control the material market, you will also control some downstream markets. There are many rubber industries in Southeast Asia.

Rubber plays a decisive role in modern industry. The dealers did their own calculations and felt that it was more cost-effective to do things here than pure investment.

After all, investment still depends on the local government's attitude, but now it is the local government's attitude that depends on them.

This is actually what the West has always done. When the interests of a certain region are affected, it will cause chaos in the country and support its own people to come to power.

The reason why Africa is in such chaos is because the interests of various Western parties are entangled in it. Everyone supports a group of people. If anyone affects their own interests, their supporters will use guns to fight. "In recent years, we have imported more and more materials, and we have also increased our exploration efforts here."

"But you may not believe it, but the materials we purchase are much cheaper than those we mine ourselves."

"The iron ore we import from abroad is cheaper than the iron ore we mine ourselves."

"And the iron ore imported from abroad is of higher grade." Sun Aiguo shook his head when talking about the materials.

"This should be caused by many reasons, right?" Liu Hai didn't know the specific situation, but he also knew that the current situation would not be caused by a single reason.

Sun Aiguo nodded: "First of all, the iron ore we import is mined by others in the open cast, and the transportation environment there is better than ours."

"Their iron ore is mined, screened, and then transported to the port, and then transported by sea. Most of the ships shipped by sea are dealers' ships to North and South America, and then return from Australia via a detour. The cost of sea transportation is kept very low. .”

"We can unload the ship directly from the port, and it won't take long to reach the steel plant, especially the steel plant in Dongshan Province and the steel plant in Northeast China."

"Transportation in our inland area is more troublesome than overseas, and the cost is high."

"In addition, we also have shares in some overseas iron ore companies, so the cost is lower."

Liu Hai nodded when he heard Sun Aiguo's explanation. The main reason was that the overseas iron ore was of high grade and the iron sand produced per unit weight was high.

"The box office of Transformers Part II has exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars, and Kung Fu Panda has reached 180 million U.S. dollars. The Kung Fu Panda animated film is indeed not as high as Transformers at the box office."

"But the superior departments are already very satisfied, because this is a movie with oriental characteristics, and it is already very good to get a box office of 180 million U.S. dollars."

"The box office is higher than many movies made in the West, and the total box office is more than 200 million US dollars. There is no big problem."

"How much should we pay you in the first quarter of this year? It is said that the bill has been sent to us, and the superior department is reviewing it." Sun Aiguo said another thing.

"The leaders of the superior departments said that you will receive a lot of money in the first quarter. You can decide how to allocate the money now." When Sun Aiguo said that there was a lot of money, he looked at Liu Hai.

Liu Hai heard this and said to Sun Aiguo: "I still want to buy a few islands. Aren't the dealers doing things in Southeast Asia? Could you please help me ask the factory director if I can buy a few islands in Southeast Asia? Of course It’s best not to have any locals up there.”

"The main reason is that it is too far to get to Fiji. It would be better if there are a few islands where we can stop and refuel."

"We can't support the dealers explicitly, but I personally or Jack can support it."

When Sun Aiguo heard what Liu Hai said, he didn't have any objections, because this was the money Liu Hai earned.

"I will report your idea to the superior department leaders. It should not be a big problem on our side, and it should not be a big problem on the dealer's side." Sun Aiguo gave Liu Hai this answer directly.

Of course, Sun Aiguo also knew that Liu Hai planned to buy these islands. Is it possible that Liu Hai would manage them by himself? From the fact that Liu Hai proposed that there should be no locals, it can be seen that Liu Hai was prepared to let us manage them ourselves.

And with Liu Hai's current achievements, even if Liu Hai had to manage it himself, it would be impossible to let him go so far away.

"Thank you very much, leader." Liu Hai raised this question first. As for which islands to buy later and how to buy them?

Let’s talk about it later. In my impression, there are several islands there that are rich in products. In particular, the gold mines on several islands later became world-famous gold mines.

If it really doesn't work, you can just plant all the durians. If the islands in Southeast Asia fall into our hands, we will definitely not lose money.

"This money should have been allocated by you. You can buy whatever you want. Just the money you allocated to the country last year, most of it has not been used. That is, the money to distribute school bags and scholarships to students. This It’s done.” Sun Aiguo shook his head when he heard this.

"If we increase it this year, a few yuan is nothing to me, but for families in poor areas, it is a lot of money. I think we can increase the bonus a little more, just give it ten yuan. "Of course Liu Hai knows this, because many projects just started construction last year, and there is definitely no way to spend so much money at once.

"I will report this to the superior department leaders." Sun Aiguo nodded. Ten yuan is actually very important to many families today, even to many working-class families.

Sun Aiguo left to report what Liu Hai said to his superior department.

Because this year’s final exam is still more than a month away, reporting this matter now will allow for more money to be distributed this year.

Sometimes just this small benefit can make many families agree that their children continue to go to school.

Liu Hai has never thought about paying tuition and fees for students. This has a different meaning. This should be a national matter, and Liu Hai will not reach out to care about it.

And to put it bluntly, tuition and miscellaneous fees can be more or less. If you dare to give five yuan this year, he will charge six or eight yuan next year.

There are a lot of benefits involved, but now there are not so many twists and turns involved in just how much money is given in a fixed amount, how many schoolbags and shoes are given.

"Buy an island?" The superior department leaders were a little surprised when they heard Sun Aiguo's report.

"Comrade Xiao Liu said that it would be too far for him to go to Fiji in the future, so it would be best to have a place to park the plane and refuel in the middle." Sun Aiguo nodded and said.

"And Comrade Xiao Liu is afraid that there are local people on the island and it will be difficult to manage in the future, so he is willing to choose uninhabited islands to buy." Sun Aiguo did not directly say that there should be no islands with local people. Instead, he said that Liu Hai wanted to buy Deserted island.

"This dealer probably won't refuse, but isn't it a bit uneconomical to spend hundreds of millions to buy an island?" The superior department leader felt that Liu Hai's offer was a bit uneconomical.

"This is Comrade Xiao Liu's idea. I think we need to listen to the opinions of the dealers. After all, they are doing things there." Sun Aiguo was a little speechless. What happened to Comrade Xiao Liu's money and his family bought the island themselves? Although In Sun Aiguo's opinion, spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy an island doesn't know how many years it will take to earn it back.

But that is Comrade Xiao Liu’s own money. What’s wrong with someone buying an island? Comrade Xiao Liu has so much credit for it.

Sun Aiguo regarded Liu Hai as his confidant. Although he felt that Liu Hai's proposal was a bit uneconomical, he would definitely support it.
