Going down from the national highway, there is a section of rural cement road extending into the metasequoia forest. Through the metasequoia forest, you can faintly hear the roar of the engine. The road sign erected at the head of the road indicates "Tianwan Village Industrial Park" and other words.

"This is it," Xu Bin pointed to the street sign and said, "It is rare to see such a village industrial park in Xinhai now. The rent is very affordable, but it will be demolished soon. Gu Fan is too picky in his work, and he is also too good at playing with cars. Craftsmen don't make much money, and if there are no cheap factories here to rent, it will be difficult to survive."

The cement road passed through the metasequoia forest, and they saw a dozen simple factory buildings, densely crowded on both sides of the cement road that even two cars could hardly pass each other. They followed the roar of the engine and entered the northwest of the factory. At the corner, in front of a courtyard surrounded by white and gray walls, two large wolfdogs with yellow fur and black stripes were tied with iron chains in front of the gate, barking at Cao Mo and the others.

The guard dog was so fierce that Cao Mo, Qian Wenhan, and Shen Ji did not dare to get out of the car easily.

Maybe they were testing the performance of the engine inside. The noise was very loud, and there were no facilities like a noise reduction workshop. Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang made several calls but no one answered them, so they had no choice but to get out of the car under the protection of the driver. He got down and looked into the factory area.

An old man wearing a gray jacket and short but grey-haired man was smoking in the yard. His body was covered with oil stains. Seeing Xu Bin, Huang Yijiang got out of the car and looked in. He hurriedly ran over and slapped the two wolf dogs on their butts. He kicked his foot, glanced at several luxury cars outside the factory gate, and said to Xu Bin:

"Xiao Xu, you guys are wondering whether the matter has been finalized every day. Why did I hear that you plan to acquire Huachen's production line? How big are your stomachs? You want to eat everything, so you are not afraid of holding on?"

"Gong Xu, where is the old man?" Xu Bin respected the old man. When he saw Cao Mo, Qian Wenhan and others got out of the car behind him, he introduced them, "Gong Xu, Xu Aihua, our second factory in Huachen Chief Engineer, Xu Lizheng and I both interned under him. He was our master. He retired from Huachen. He didn’t want to be idle, and he wasn’t happy to accept the re-employment from the joint venture car factory, so he came to Gu Fan as a consultant. Worker Xu , these two are both investors of Tianyue Industry, and they came here specially to meet Gu Fan today..."

Xu Aihua waved to a young man about twenty years old and asked him to go to the workshop and call Gu Fan over.

There are no noise reduction facilities, and the noise of the test engine in the factory is astonishing. While Xu Aihua was smoking, he did not forget to take out a pack of crumpled red plums from his pocket and give them to Cao Mo. Qian Wenhan said: "Don't you dislike my poor cigarette?" ?”

With such a high qualification, he is unwilling to accept re-employment from a large joint venture factory, but comes to this small factory in the suburbs to do modifications. Either he is not short of money, or he does not love money.

Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan saw that they couldn't scare others with their wealth, so they honestly took the red plum cigarettes and stood at the door of their factory and started smoking.

Amidst the harsh noise, Xu Aihua also raised his voice and asked about Tianyue Industrial's acquisition of Huachen's production line.

Regarding the acquisition of the pickup truck production line and technology, Tianyue Industrial has officially submitted a proposal to Hua Chen. However, Hua Chen looked down on Xu Bin, Xu Lizheng, and Huang Yijiang before and delayed negotiations.

Without going into specific details, there was nothing to hide about the general framework of the acquisition plan; Xu Bin even suspected that Hua Chen had already leaked their plan.

Xu Bin also said that the two buyers that Huachen had contacted withdrew from the negotiation, and Tianyue Industry became the only buyer. The two parties will soon formally negotiate; and the investors of Tianyue Industry attach great importance to this acquisition, and Qian

Wenhan will personally participate in the negotiations.

"I know you big bosses have some sentiments, but the car-making industry is not easy to get into. And if you really want to lay down the foundation, it won't be possible for 1 billion or 80 billion," Xu Aihua looked at Cao Aihua.

Mo, Qian Wenhan, said, "If you plan to use three to five billion to come in and play, I think Xiao Xu's previous idea is very feasible. You can live well in a narrow market..."

Cao Mo smiled and kept silent. It was obvious that Xu Aihua knew that after Tianyue Industrial took over Huachen's pickup truck assets, their Yeluzi modification factory would no longer be taken seriously, and it might no longer be able to sustain itself. A group of people could only

We parted ways.

The old man Xu Aihua seems to be honest, but he still has his own shrewd calculations, but on the other hand, it also shows that the operation of the modification factory is very difficult.

Of course, Xu Bin's previous ideas were good, and Xu Aihua's words were not without merit.

As far as the existing technical threshold is concerned, Tianyue takes advantage of the already well-established industrial chain in China. As long as it is determined to invest and find the right team, even if it develops mid- to low-end pickup products from scratch, it will not cost more than developing a new motorcycle model before.

higher.

However, since they can take over Huachen's pickup truck assets, it means that they can stand on a higher starting point and promote this matter from the beginning; and he didn't just drag Qian Wenhan to collect 3.5 billion in tickets.

"...Hello, hello, I'm so sorry. When you guys set off, Mr. Xu called me to inform me. I turned around and went into the workshop to do the test and forgot about it. Look at my pig-like brain and mobile phone.

I don’t have it with me either…”

Gu Fan just took off his work clothes, put on his suit, and walked towards the door, greeting him in a crisp voice.

Gu Fan hurriedly changed into a suit and looked very formal, but his long, shiny hair was tied into a short braid on the back of his head. At first glance, he looked like a much more fashionable player than Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang. He was also tall and handsome, very handsome.

He looked energetic, not looking like he was in his mid-forties. He stretched out his oily hand that had not yet been wiped clean, shook it enthusiastically with Qian Wenhan, and pulled him inside.

"Ahem!" Seeing that Gu Fan treated Cao Mo and Shen Ji as Qian Wenhan's followers, Xu Bin hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Lao Gu, Mr. Gu, this is Mr. Cao Mocao, the major shareholder of our Tianyue Industry.

, This is Mr. Qian of Xinhong Investment, Mr. Shen Ji, the director and shareholder of Tianyue Industrial. He doesn’t need my introduction. He is well-known in Xinhai. Mr. Gu, you will recognize Mr. Qian!"

"Ah!" Gu Fan was stunned for a while, then turned around to apologize to Cao Mo. His hand, which was a little stuck in his mind, stopped in mid-air and asked, "Have Mr. Cao and I met somewhere?"

"If you think about it again, Mr. Gu, although I don't talk much, I won't be so unimpressive." Cao Mo said with a smile.

"..." Gu Fan's memory suddenly became stuck, as if a name had rushed to the top of his head and there was only one last layer of membrane that could not be broken through.

Qian Wenhan, Xu Bin, and Shen Ji all looked at Cao Mo in surprise, not expecting that he and Gu Fan would recognize each other.

"Our inmate Mr. Gu, who had been in Songting Detention Center for a month, was driving a modified car on the road. He was intercepted by the traffic police and escaped. Finally, he was arrested and put into administrative detention for a month. I won't mention my matter. I didn't expect that all these years have passed.

, Mr. Gu has not 'returned his evil ways', stopped operating a good repair shop, and directly opened a modification shop." Cao Mo stretched out his hand to hold Gu Fan, and introduced to Qian Wenhan, Xu Bin, Shen Ji and the others that he and Gu Fan had once

After meeting each other, he smiled and said, "I still remember Mr. Gu said that if I can't find a job after I get out of the detention center, I can seek refuge with you. In the past few years, Mr. Gu already wants to deny it?"

Everyone present knew about Cao Mo's past, but they didn't expect that Gu Fan had also been detained for driving a modified car on the road, and he actually got to know Cao Mo because of it.

"Oh my God, Cao Mo! I remembered it. Your name is almost stuck on me." Gu Fan's memory was completely opened. He looked at Cao Mo in shock and held his hand. "Why do you keep talking all day long?"

An investor in Yue Industry? I later inquired with Xiao Changmin and said that you were acquitted, but no one knew where you lived or who you were looking for. What did you do next to become so big? You made money.

Mine?"

"I really found a gold mine in Africa, and now I have a lot of money!" Cao Mo said with a smile, spreading his hands.

Gu Fan thought Cao Mo was joking. Seeing Xu Bin, Qian Wenhan and others all looked like "that's it". He slapped his forehead and couldn't imagine what Cao Mo's life would be like after leaving the detention center: "There is really gold in Africa."

Is there a mine to be mined?”

Gu Fan stopped the testing in the workshop. Without the roar of the engine, the small factory yard became quiet.

Cao Mo chatted with Gu Fan and others, and rushed directly to visit the carmaker's modification workshop. He saw that the warehouse-style workshop had an interior area of ​​more than 200 square meters. Compared with larger factories, the layout was much messier and less dense.

There are many people to clean up, but there is no shortage of necessary equipment.

Several cars had been dismantled to the point where they were just empty frames, and on the large operating table on one side, several engines were directly fixed on it. Two of the engines were being connected to different measuring instruments, and several staff members were surrounding the testing instruments.

Compare to the data.

Obviously, the huge roar just now came from these two engines, and the staff members were wearing noise-cancelling earmuffs and had not yet taken them off.

Cao Mo didn't know much about engines, but he didn't know anything about them either.

It was hard for him to imagine that two ordinary in-line four-cylinder and opposed four-cylinder engines could make such a powerful sound when started at the same time. He thought that Gu Fan must have done something to these two engines to make people notice the sound.

It can be intuitively judged that the performance of these two engines has been greatly improved.

There are many newly wealthy people in Xinhai who like to play with modified cars, but they only change the wheels and add tail wings. Very few people would think of improving the performance of the engine through modification. It is too risky and requires extremely high professional skills.

.

Seeing that Gu Fan was focusing on this aspect, Cao Mo thought to himself that it was no wonder that the modification factory could not survive; and to study this thing, ordinary small money would never be enough.

Approaching closer, Cao Mo saw that compared with the original ones, some parts of these two engines looked like they were hand-made and the processing was not as fine.

Cao Mo then visited the workshop next door. There was a Ferrari parked inside, and two BMW Z4s were being modified. However, these were modifications in the ordinary sense. They were the main business that the modification factory relied on to survive, but there was no way to let Gu

Fan, Xu Aihua's strength came into play.

Opposite the two workshops, there was a warehouse facing north. Cao Mo and the others walked in and saw an unpainted car body placed on the workbench.

The slender coupe model, the side panels of the body are still open, and the internal structure can be seen intuitively. It is mainly assembled from parts removed from other second-hand cars or sports cars. There are also many hand-made parts and rear-mounted engines.

The position is vacant.

The two modified engines being tested in the south-facing workshop were obviously prepared for this new assembled car.

"Lao Gu, when you were driving an assembled car in the detention center, you were stopped by the traffic police and sent in. You didn't spend all your time improving your assembled car in the past few years, right?" Cao Mo knew that Gu Fan was playing with modified cars when he was in the detention center.

Very obsessed, but I didn't expect him to be obsessed to this extent.

Cao Mo spent two years in Dongsheng's workshop.

Although his theoretical level is not comparable to that of someone like Gu Fan, his practical ability is also top-notch, otherwise he would not have been able to support the operation of the Yibogu Gold Mine by himself.

Just so, he knew that it was not very difficult to assemble a coupe or sports car that could run and barely hit the road, but what was scary was that after it was assembled, he still wanted to use the power of one or a few people.

, we have been investing money and energy unremittingly for several years to continuously improve and improve the performance of the assembled truck and make it practical.

If this can be done with the strength of an individual or a few people, then why do we need a strict and huge industrial system?

Cao Mo saw Xu Bin's acquisition plan for the car builder's modification factory. Gu Fan had several patented technologies in his hands. They must have been the results of several years of continuous improvement in the process of assembling the car.

The proposal gave an estimated price of six million for the patents in Gu Fan's hands.

Based on the personal relationship between Xu Bin, Huang Yijiang and Gu Fan, this appraisal price must have been approved by Gu Fan.

However, Cao Mo could imagine that Gu Fan's investment in this assembled car was far more than six million.

What does "the poor like cars, the rich like watches"?

If you have the ability to play with modifications!

Not to comment on the value of Gu Fan's modification factory and this assembled car to Tianyue Industry, but just seeing that there are people in China who can modify cars to this extent, Qian Wenhan and Shen Ji also aroused strong interest.

.

If it weren't for the complexity of disassembling and assembling the engine, they all would have thought that Gu Fan could drive the car out of the warehouse for two laps to test on the spot how much his years of hard work had improved the performance of this assembled car.

Everyone was commenting on the assembly truck in the warehouse. "Deng Deng!" A charming and beautiful woman stepped on high heels and walked over to say hello: "Just passed by.

I came here to see Mr. Xu’s car. I think it’s Tianyue’s investors who are here. Gu Fan is usually careless, isn’t he rude?”

"Mr. Zhao Zhi, the proprietress of the carmaker, is more effective in speaking than Lao Gu," Xu Bin introduced the woman to Cao Mo, whom Qian Wenhan met, "Mr. Zhao, you probably wouldn't have thought that Lao Gu and Mr. Cao are still inmates.
To be continued...
