The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 616 The ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring! (Seeking monthly votes)

The Gulou Repair Shop at this time was no longer what it used to be.

In the past, whenever Wu Aiguo wanted to tinker with something, he needed to find a way to gather skilled technicians.

That's how Liu Haizhong was tricked into coming here.

Of course, at this time, Liu Haizhong was doing very well at the farm outside the city.

It's estimated that even though Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill wanted to transfer him back, he wasn't very willing.

Right now, Wu Aiguo can easily gather enough highly skilled technicians, and even professional technicians, to tinker with motorcycles.

Even if North Morocco is unwilling, they will have to obediently give up a few technical personnel.

Before November, Harley's most classic model was released.

However, the motorcycle's design was too flamboyant and domineering, and did not conform to the domestic aesthetic at the time, so it could only be exported.

Wu Aiguo's original intention was to export these motorcycles; otherwise, given the terrible traffic conditions in China, such motorcycles would only be a disaster on the road.

Soon, several prototype vehicles were loaded onto the train.

Wu Aiguo and several technicians involved in the design traveled by train to the south to meet with Huo Daheng in Hong Kong.

This is his third trip south this year, and his feelings are different each time.

It carried a hint of urgency!

The ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring!
Wu Aiguo, being in the capital, was able to access important information about the industrial system, so he naturally sensed that something was amiss.

The reason he was so eager to increase foreign trade profits by getting into the motorcycle business was mainly to give his father more leverage.

As mentioned earlier, given the current size of Gulou Repair Shop, it would be no problem for it to become a deputy-department-level enterprise.

In fact, the industrial departments in Beijing had also held meetings to discuss this.

Later, I still felt that Wuzhi had a rare talent pool, and the repair shop was developing rapidly. I didn't want to cause any major setbacks due to the change in leadership.

If we can focus on development for another year, the repair shop will definitely be able to take another step forward and become a deputy provincial-level enterprise by the beginning of 1966.

At that time, Wu Zhi also rose in rank and became a deputy director-level factory director.

What Wu Aiguo needs to do now is to solidify the matter.

He knew all too well that the officialdom in mainland China was treacherous and unpredictable, and that one could not let one's guard down until the very last moment.

In the capital, there are far too many opportunities to reap the rewards.

From the very beginning, the Gulou Repair Shop followed a people-oriented approach, rather than being a heavy industry that was highly valued by the top leadership.

In this situation, the only way to increase one's leverage and gain more attention is through foreign trade.

At that time, China was indeed under blockade by Europe and the United States.

That doesn't mean there were no trade dealings behind the scenes.

Conversely, with the Russians turning against China, economic ties between China and Europe and the United States suddenly increased significantly.

Otherwise, how could Huo Daheng have successfully sold mountain bikes to Europe and the United States?

How did Hong Kong Island achieve its economic boom that began in the 1960s?

Later, China basically achieved self-sufficiency in food, which was not solely due to hybrid rice.

Starting in the 1970s, the country spent a lot of money to purchase several large-scale fertilizer production facilities from the West. Only after these facilities were in normal operation did domestic grain production increase significantly.

As for where the billions of dollars spent by the government came from, that's another legend altogether.

Let's put it this way: the country's demand for foreign exchange has always been substantial.

If the Gulou Repair Shop could become a key enterprise for foreign exchange earnings, its status and level of attention would be incomparable.

Especially since the Gulou Repair Shop doesn't sell raw materials but rather mature industrial products, it's even more valuable. If this positive impression can be formed in the minds of high-level leaders, things will be much easier from now on.

As for whether he can achieve this, Wu Aiguo is quite confident.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the motorcycles he created may only have changed in appearance; in fact, all aspects of their functions have been improved.

What he created is the product that matured in later generations.

There's no need to gradually fill in the gaps in motorcycle design through long-term customer feedback.

This time, in addition to the prototype, he also brought a script that is sure to ignite the American and European film and television markets.

The American version of "Young and Dangerous"!
Hehe, the Godfather trilogy, as a classic in film history, not only boasts excellent acting skills and a solid script, but also reveals the inside story of a certain mastermind and the intrigue of the Dang family.

When the "Young and Dangerous" movies were all the rage, how many teenagers were led astray and what a terrible impact they had.

But if you put the content in the context of America at this time, it's a piece of cake.

The Beatles, rock and roll, a decadent generation...

Wu Aiguo was also quite familiar with the organizations in the United States.

In my previous life, I maintained business dealings with Chinatown communities for quite some time.

It's not that difficult to completely Americanize and Europeanize the story.

Then, the cool and awesome motorcycle, which appears frequently as the protagonist's ride, is bound to be a hit.

Upon arriving in Guangzhou, the damp and chilly November weather was particularly unsettling for the group that had come from Beijing.

Fortunately, Mr. Fok was very accommodating and waited for him at the guesthouse.

Huo Daheng was quite happy to see Wu Aiguo.

How could he not be happy? Thanks to the many types of bicycles available in China, he has made a lot of money in Europe and America. That's real joy.

At this time, the Brynton Woods system had not yet collapsed, and the purchasing power of the Dao Le was directly equivalent to that of gold.

Therefore, his situation on Hong Kong Island is much more comfortable.

After all, no matter how powerful Huo Daheng was in the past, he was always operating within the territory of the British Hong Kong government, and was naturally subject to others.

However, the emergence of various types of bicycles opened up new business opportunities for him.

Even within the UK, bicycle manufacturers are actively seeking patent licensing partnerships, extending its influence directly to Europe.

No one knows what level of connections and influence Huo Daheng will be able to build in Europe through this move.
As a result, the Hong Kong British government naturally lost its previous toughness when dealing with him.

This is remarkably similar to a novel about rebirth and strengthening the nation that Wu Aiguo had read in his deepest memory.

As long as the interests are sufficient, even the British Hong Kong government can be tied to their cause.

At that time, Hong Kong Island was not highly valued by the British mainland.

Currently, Britain's global colonial system has not completely collapsed.

There are many places that are more important than Hong Kong Island.

At that time, the senior officials of the Hong Kong British government were basically representatives of the marginal forces in Britain, and their strength was not much.

"Section Chief Wu, I wonder what good things you've brought this time?"

After exchanging pleasantries, they immediately got down to business. Huo Daheng said impatiently, "I hope this time will be another surprise!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I won't let you down!"

Wu Aiguo laughed heartily and led Huo Daheng to the warehouse.
