The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 91 Cover Your Mouth
"Austin, this is the best gift I've received this year."

"Thank you for providing me with such good information."

Jiang Hui bent down very seriously and bowed to Austin.

This information will not only allow Jiang Hui to have a more intuitive understanding of the global automobile market of this era, but will also allow him to use these reasons to explain to the factory why he knows a lot about the international automobile market.

It can be said that it really helped a lot.

"Jiang, we are friends!"

“You’re welcome!”

"If you like, I will mail some magazines to you regularly from America in the future."

"This time I brought mostly magazines from England and America. Don't you know German and Japanese?"

"Next time I will mail you the most famous German magazine "Auto Motor und Sport" and Japanese magazine "Option" for your reference."

A few magazines are just a drop in the bucket for General Motors.

If Jiang Hui could be lured to work for General Motors by mailing some magazines, then it would be a huge win.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

If you give him something else, Jiang Hui might be polite.

But if you want to give a professional car magazine as a gift, there is really no need to be polite.

On the one hand, Jiang Hui really needs these things.

On the other hand, even if the magazine was received as a gift, it can withstand investigation.

Jiang Hui even felt that before he received the package mailed by Austin, the relevant departments had probably opened and checked it in advance.

Especially when it comes to mailing books, this is a sensitive matter.

People in relevant departments are also afraid that some inappropriate books will flow into China and produce adverse effects.

Overall, tonight's exchange was a great success, with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves.

Considering that Jiang Hui was carrying a box of magazines, which was quite heavy, Austin took the initiative to go downstairs and arrange a taxi for him that was parked at the Capital Hotel.

In 1978, the most advanced and largest number of Japanese cars in the capital were the Toyota Crown 1973L version and the Nissan Datsun Duke 2.6L version imported in 2.6.

Jiang Hui didn't expect that his first time riding on a Crown would be in such an environment.

That is, it is only in the Capital Hotel. I guess there is no chance of getting it anywhere else.

Jiang Hui didn't say anything when he saw Austin handing the driver $10 for the fare.

The $10 cooperation has been negotiated, so there is nothing to worry about the $10 taxi fare.

Of course, the place where I live is very close to the Capital Hotel, so the driver made a lot of money on this trip.

No wonder people like to stay at the Capital Hotel.

One business deal might be enough to pay for someone’s monthly salary.

In the 1980s and 1990s, taxi drivers had a high social status, and it was not without reason.

After all, no matter what time it is, whoever has a fatter wallet will have a higher status in the industry.

"Jiang Hui, what are you moving?"

Hearing Jiang Hui's familiar footsteps coming from the corridor, Zhu Lin, who had not yet gone to bed, opened the door and came out to greet him.

The first thing she saw was Jiang Hui holding a box of things with great effort.

"They are all foreign car magazines. They are good stuff. You can't buy them in bookstores even if you have money. Even if you go to the National Library, you may not have the chance to find these magazines."

Jiang Hui grunted as he put the box in the corner of the dormitory.

You know what, the quality of the paper used to print magazines is quite good.

This big box of magazines weighs at least 80 or 90 kilograms.

"What did the people from General Motors talk to you about today?"

Zhu Lin closed the door and looked at Jiang Hui curiously.

The Chinese of this era are full of curiosity about foreigners, even Zhu Lin is no exception.

"After arriving at the Capital Hotel, I had a delicious Cantonese meal with them. We will try some there if we have a chance."

"They had seen the appearance of the new BJ212 before and were very interested. This time they also wanted me to help design the exterior of the car."

"I drew up a sketch straight out tonight to sell the look of that car to GM."

Jiang Hui briefly described what happened tonight.

However, Zhu Lin was a little worried and said, "If we sell the exterior design of the car to General Motors, will your factory have any objections?"

This concern is obviously not without reason.

In 1978, anything involving foreigners was still very sensitive.

People with overseas connections are in great demand, but this will only become popular in a few years.

"I will report this matter to the factory tomorrow. If I don't explain it clearly, I won't be able to accept the money from General Motors."

Jiang Hui was not particularly worried.

A particularly important meeting in China's history is about to be held, and some changes have actually begun to take place in many places.

Especially the leaders of relevant departments, they are more sensitive and have already noticed that many economic matters have loosened up.

The focus of China's future development will revolve around economic construction.

"If you design a car exterior and sell it to General Motors, how much would they be willing to pay you?"

Although Zhu Lin is not the kind of woman who is particularly interested in money, she is still curious about how much General Motors will spend on Jiang Hui's work.

Although it is not very appropriate to use price to measure the quality of a work, it is very convincing.

Zhu Lin naturally hopes that Jiang Hui's works can be sold at a higher price.

“Guess?”

Jiang Hui washed his hands and pulled Zhu Lin over.

"1000 dollars?"

Zhu Lin thought of how Jiang Hui once helped an American repair a car and received an extremely high reward of $1000.

I think it would be great if I could get $1000 this time.

"Are you brave enough?"

"2000 dollars?"

"Be bolder!"

"That... can't be $5000? That's too much, right?"

Zhu Lin couldn't help but put his hand over his mouth.

In her opinion, 5000 US dollars is definitely a huge sum of money. With 46 RMB a month, even if she does not eat or drink, it will take her more than ten years to save that much money.

This is based on the official exchange rate. If converted based on the black market exchange rate, the money I earn in my entire life will not be even $5000.

"Does $5000 shock you so much?"

Jiang Hui stretched out his right hand, bent his index finger, and scratched Zhu Lin's nose.

"Take a deep breath and cover your mouth to prevent you from screaming later."

After hearing what Jiang Hui said, Zhu Lin's expression changed again.

Did I guess too little?
God!

Isn't this crazy?
Zhu Lin was also afraid that he would be stimulated and scream, and would have to face strange looks from his neighbors tomorrow.

So I really took a deep breath and then covered my mouth.

"10 US dollars. General Motors is willing to pay 10 US dollars for the appearance design I designed."

As soon as Jiang Hui finished speaking, Zhu Lin's eyes suddenly widened and his face was full of shock!
If I hadn't covered my mouth, I would have screamed out loud.
