Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 827 The disappearing Daben

The year 1985 was noisy and busy.

However, it also makes Li Jiankun full of expectations. Putting aside the fact that many of his personal careers may blossom and bear fruit this year, if he remembers correctly, this year, for the first time, we proposed to let some people get rich first.

A new social form is coming.

He had no time to stay in the port city anymore. There were only a few days left for Shanhe and Luna's wedding, and the Spring Festival was approaching. So he has been sitting in the conference room these days, and he has to make some important decisions before returning to the mainland, and arrange the work of hunting for bargains and developing the Kunlun Club.

In the afternoon, after a half-hour break, the meeting continued.

Most of the attendees were new faces. Of course, Effie was no stranger to them. They were all talents she had single-handedly promoted and believed to be qualified for the three new companies: "Taishan Real Estate," "Gamma Media," and "Particle Syndicate."

Li Jiankun trusts her 100%.

The Kunlun Society's management team was fully entrusted to Huangfu Jingwen to build it - Effie's personality was not suitable for this project.

Now, Huangfu Jingwen also attended the meeting with two young and beautiful girls like her. It is said that one is her college classmate and the other was her boss before entering Huaqiang Swire Group.

The eyes of the two girls looking at Li Jiankun inevitably twinkled with little stars.

What ordinary girl can sit at the same table with the richest man in Hong Kong City and not be like this? Moreover, he is so young and handsome, and especially looks like he works seriously, exuding a charm that is more deadly than the devil.

"... Fuhong Electronics Group has very advanced technology in the field of communications. It is also large enough and has many factories..."

Li Jiankun listened to the report while flipping through the information of Fuhong Electronics Group. On the table in front of him, there were three thick stacks of information, all of which were targets selected by the management teams of the three new companies and believed to be bargain hunters.

It is up to him to make the final decision. After completion, the management teams of the three new companies will proceed with the acquisition.

"Fuhong, yes." After a long time, Li Jiankun signed the appendix on the last page of this document and wrote down his approval opinions on the acquisition.

"Chairman, Oriental Press Group is very consistent with our acquisition intention of Gamma Media, but there is a problem."

"What?" Li Jiankun looked at the person making the report while finding the information about Oriental Newspaper Group.

"We have two competitors, one is the Kadoorie family and the other is the Huo family."

"The Huo family?" Li Jiankun asked for confirmation, "Mr. Huo Yindong's family?"

"Correct."

Snapped!
Li Jiankun threw away the information he had just found, scanned the audience and said, "Remember, we will not participate in the competition for any company that the Huo family intends to acquire. Afei, please contact the Huo family after the meeting to see if they acquire Oriental Newspaper If the group has any difficulties, if we can help, we will fully support it.”

"Okay." Effie agreed.

Others looked at each other, especially several managers of Gamma Media. They were confused. Oriental News Group was their first acquisition target, so they just... gave up?

Although the Huo family is very powerful, it is not something that makes the boss afraid at all, and there is a hint of flattery.

Li Jiankun did not explain. He looked at Huangfu Jingwen and said, "Jingwen, Mr. Huo and Mr. Zhuang Shipingzhuang, these two are the first choice invitees to the Kunlun Society. You--" He hesitated, then waved his hand and said: "Forget it. Yes, I will personally invite you when the time comes.”

Huangfu Jingwen: "Oh..."

She could tell that the boss had great respect for these two old gentlemen, far more than anyone else in Hong Kong's upper class society, and silently took note of this information in her mind.

The meeting continued until dark.

Li Jiankun returned to the office exhausted. Ran Zi poured a cup of scented tea mixed with cassia seeds, wolfberry and other Chinese medicinal materials, then walked behind the sofa, rubbed his shoulders and said:
"Brother Yajun called and said he would get back to him when he had time. It seemed a bit urgent."

Li Jiankun pointed at the mahogany desk: "Go and fight."

It was relatively easy to call the Special Administrative Region from Hong Kong City. After a while, Effie answered the phone.

Li Jiankun got up from the sofa and walked over to take the phone: "What's wrong?"

Chen Yajun's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Kun, there's something wrong with the car."

"You bastard, didn't you pat your chest and say you can handle it?" Li Jiankun yelled, otherwise he would not have left Chen Yajun in charge, "What happened?"

Two cars, one big Ben, a wedding gift to Shanhe.

A Fiat 126P, purchased for Ms. Shen as a means of commuting to and from get off work.

The latter is okay, but if it can't be repaired, Miss Shen is not in a hurry to use it.

But Shanhe's wedding date cannot be changed.

Shanhe hoped to have a car and mentioned it to him before, so Li Jiankun prepared it so far in advance. Moreover, Daben is very difficult to deal with. Now the reversing on Qiongdao has been stopped. Although the island is full of cars, it is not possible to find another Daben.

"I, I got it done. It was foolproof. I specially used the trailer I got from the Bureau of Materials. By the way, that 'big-headed shoe' is fine. It's a Mercedes-Benz..." Chen Yajun said weakly, "It's almost there. It was sent to the capital, but was detained by a work unit in Hebei."

"Why? The procedures and documents are complete." Li Jiankun frowned.

Regardless of whether reversing in Qiongdao was legal or not, the cars he got had all gone through the formal registration and licensing procedures. Nowadays, almost all Guangdong-branded cars on the street follow this process. If you want to deduct this Mercedes-Benz, you will have to deduct it from other cars. Besides, why only buckle the big Ben and not the big-toe shoes?
It doesn't make sense.

"That's what I said. Damn it, after one call, they stopped answering the second time. I suspect they want to use our car." Chen Yajun cursed.

"What the hell..." Li Jiankun thought about it and said, "Take my sister and the others away first. After returning to Beijing, rush over to see what's going on. I'll fly directly from the port city to the capital. If you can't figure it out, I'll transfer. Take a walk.”
-
Five days later, after the incident in Hong Kong, Li Jiankun and his wealthy brothers appeared at Baoding Railway Station.

It's obvious that Chen Yajun didn't get it right.

When the three of them checked in and left the station, they saw Chen Yajun and Jin Biao coming to pick up the car from a distance.

"Brother Kun, this way!"

After the two parties met, Li Jiankun asked directly about the situation. He really didn't have time to delay any more, otherwise Shanhe's car would not be able to reach the capital on the day of his wedding.

"A Biao and I haven't seen the car yet."

"They didn't say they wouldn't return it to us, they just kept delaying it. Today they delay tomorrow, and tomorrow they delay the day after tomorrow."

"I suspect they still want to keep the Mercedes."

Li Jiankun asked: "Which unit?" "A repair shop."

"What the hell?!"

Li Jiankun opened his eyes wide. He thought it was some vehicle management unit, or law enforcement department, or a repair shop that seized the car. Who gave them the right and courage?
This made him very angry.

The five people found a taxi outside the train station. Li Jiankun couldn't help but rub his eyes. Jeep came out?
He did know that a car company in the capital signed a contract with Jeep in 1983 to jointly develop cars, but theoretically, it shouldn't be so fast. The factory may not be built within a year.

This is a gray SUV model, which looks very similar to a Cherokee and looks particularly fashionable these days.

It's quite big, eight seats.

Li Jiankun walked around the car, trying to find the brand logo, but couldn't find it.

At this time, a well-dressed driver in his thirties told him that this was a modified car based on a Jeep 212.

Li Jiankun was shocked for ten thousand years. The Jeep 212 is familiar to all Chinese people these days. There are one or two in each town, but there is no trace of the Jeep 212 at all from this car.

It is much more high-end and atmospheric than the Jeep 212.

Due to the tough lines of the body, there is a saying that even if it is thrown onto the streets twenty years later, it will not be considered outdated.

Is this a modification? Don't bully him for not knowing what he's doing, this is clearly a transformation!
These days, there are people in our country who play with cars to this extent?

"boom--"

When the car started to drive, it felt a bit familiar. It was similar to a Jeep 212, crawling forward at a speed of thirty to fifty yards.

About half an hour later, the car arrived at its destination, which was the unit where Daben was detained.

After Li Jiankun got off the car, he stood at the door of the compound of this unit and looked at the two plaques hanging on the concrete pillars. He was really stunned, and some memories from later generations were flooding in his mind.

Baoding really has a place in the history of automobile development in our country.

I saw a white plaque with a few large black characters written on it - Great Wall Motor Industry Company.

Chen Yajun said that this was a repair shop, which was not accurate enough. The driver said that the car assigned to him by the company seemed to have been modified here.

This is a factory that integrates repair and modification. It mainly modifies specially-made passenger trucks for enterprises and institutions from various countries.

If Li Jiankun's information is correct, this should be the birthplace of Great Wall Motors.

The factory gate guard knew Jin Biao and Chen Yajun and did not stop them, but did not allow them to wander around. He led a few people into a two-story red brick building and came to the factory director's office.

The factory director's surname was Wei. Li Jiankun couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He was a slightly bald middle-aged man, but he couldn't identify him. But it is very likely that he is a relative of Wei Jianjun.

"Director Wei, let me tell you, if you don't return the car to us today, I...I'm not done with you!" Chen Yajun looked stern but was heartbroken.

After all, this place is not the capital or the Special Administrative Region, he has no connections at all, and his identity is just a self-employed person who cannot get on the stage. When facing the government agencies, like other ordinary people these days, he always feels a little weak.

Factory Director Wei was quite polite and had a smile on his face, but as Jin Biao and Chen Yajun said, he was an old fool and he didn't say no to him.

But if you ask him to return the car, he will treat you to tea; if you ask him where the car is, he will ask you if lotus cigarettes are good to smoke...

Li Jiankun was sitting on the wooden art sofa, scanning some certificate frames hanging on the wall of the office, and then looked at Director Wei with a half-smile: "You are so brave. An affiliated company dares to openly seize other people's cars... …”

"what?!"

"Are you an affiliated unit?"

Jin Biao and Chen Yajun stood up, the expressions on their faces immediately changed and became particularly fierce.

Director Wei was sweating on his forehead.

Chen Yajun's finger almost poked his nose: "Give us my car back immediately, or I'll call the police!"

"This……"

"What the hell!" Jin Biao also poked his finger, "Believe it or not, you can't eat it and have to carry it around?"

"Tomorrow, how about tomorrow?" Director Wei said with a stern look on his face, "I will definitely give you the car tomorrow."

"no!"

"You can't understand people, right?" Chen Yajun strode towards the five-drawer table, where there was an old-fashioned black rotary phone.

"No, no, no, brother," Director Wei hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Can you please be accommodating? I really can't do it today, today."

"Where's the car?" Li Jiankun asked.

"The car is here, the car is there..."

Li Jiankun noticed his eyes looking out the window. Next to the red brick building was an old Soviet-style factory building, so he stood up and left the office, preparing to look for it himself.

Factory Director Wei still wanted to stop him, but let alone him, even if he called a few big guys to come, he wouldn't be able to stop the rich brothers.

Five minutes later, several people wandered around the factory and finally found traces of the Mercedes-Benz.

Jin Biao was the first to see it, and he cursed: "Wucao!"

After Chen Yajun followed his gaze, his eyes widened: "Your grandma... you are crazy!"

Li Jiankun had a black line on his head. The car was indeed there, but it was completely changed. It had been torn into eight pieces, oh no, hundreds of pieces. All kinds of parts were scattered around the frame of the car that no longer felt luxurious.

"I really..."

Quite speechless.
