#348 - Chapter 348: Cars are banned? Good news, the J-20C test flight is imminent!
Her long hair was styled into a bun.
Her business attire was gone, replaced by a set of dark green military officer's uniform.
Whether you admit it or not, appearance really matters.
This military uniform…
On Xia Qingyan, compared to a professional soldier like Ding Xiang, it lacked some heroism and sharpness, but it was definitely eye-catching.
"Salute!"
Xia Qingyan raised her hand.
Her movement was surprisingly standard.
"You this…" Chen Hao was a little confused.
So, his sister-in-law had him come over to see her in a military uniform?
"Isn't it standard?"
She was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "After receiving the military uniform, I practiced in front of the mirror for a long time, imitating what I saw on TV…"
Her expression was obviously a little lost.
"Really?!" Her beautiful eyes lit up.
"Really."
"Aren't you going to return the salute?"
"Ah?!"
Chen Hao was stunned at first.
Then he brought his feet together and returned a military salute to her in an even more standard posture.
That's right!
His movements were more standard than Xia Qingyan's.
In his previous life, as a military industrial scientist, he had a military rank, and it was not low!
Of course, it couldn't compare to this life.
Chen Hao withdrew his hand and whispered: "Don't let anyone see you, otherwise… it will be very troublesome!"
"Understood, I'll go change my clothes."
A few minutes later.
She changed back into her business attire: "Both sets of parents are around, are we going back for dinner tonight?"
Just as Chen Hao was about to speak, his phone rang.
"General Wang."
In front of his sister-in-law, there was no need to hide too much, he addressed him directly.
"One good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear?" General Wang asked.
Here we go again?!
Chen Hao had long discovered that there was a way to deal with him: "If you don't say it, I'll hang up."
"Don't!"
General Wang became anxious and hurriedly said: "North America is taking action against you faster and faster!"
When hoarding computer CPUs, North America took a while before starting the ban.
But Shenzhou Motors…
It was listed yesterday.
The sales weren't great that day, and North America didn't make any moves.
Today it suddenly became very popular.
And then…
"Any country controlled by North America is prohibited from importing Shenzhou Motors!" General Wang's voice was very serious.
The action was too fast!
"As expected," Chen Hao nodded.
"Then… you don't plan to export anymore?"
"Let's see," Chen Hao said.
"How about we also ban Western and Japanese/Korean cars?"
"No!"
Chen Hao denied without hesitation: "Many car brands have factories in China, bringing jobs and a lot of tax revenue to the country—it's not that they ban us, so we can ban them too."
The situation is different, okay?
Their ban on your exports has no impact on themselves.
You also ban?
Many car brands are of great help to the country's economic development.
Once banned.
It will inevitably hurt the enemy a thousand and oneself eight hundred!
"Do nothing?" General Wang was very unwilling.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Alright!"
"What's the good news?"
"Come to Shenyang as soon as possible, it's about to have its test flight!"
Instantly!
Chen Hao's eyes gleamed.
It succeeded?!
"I'll go over right away—by the way! Let Zhang Zhong go over too!" He was extremely excited.
J-20C!
It finally succeeded!
"What's this about?" Xia Qingyan was very surprised.
Even when earning hundreds of billions in revenue, Chen Hao had never been so excited.
At least, she had never seen her brother-in-law so excited.
"I have to go to the north," he said in a deep voice.
"When?"
"Immediately!"
Dinner was definitely off the table.
"Go ahead," Xia Qingyan nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'll go back later, I'll explain to Uncle, Aunt, and Qingmo…"
…
In the night.
The Chengying sedan left Hanteng Group.
The airport received notification that the Boeing business jet was ready.
Chen Hao rubbed his brow.
He didn't take the CPU ban seriously.
The lithography machine was done!
The lithography machine factory had already started construction, he didn't have to worry about the related matters, the country was fully responsible.
On the other hand.
Huang Lao's team was designing chips.
Building a factory and designing takes time, but it shouldn't take too long.
Don't forget!
Xia Qingyan hoarded some chips.
Enough to last until mass production.
Currently, the urgent issue to be resolved was car exports.
The original plan was…
You ban the export of Shenzhou Motors?
I'll directly auction off the technology for those four cars!
Will the car companies buy it?
The reason why countries ban imports is because Shenzhou Motors' performance completely crushes cars in the same class.
Any car company that gets the technology for these four cars can crush other car companies.
This is an opportunity to seize the market and even monopolize it!
Why wouldn't they buy it?
Wouldn't the export ban be easily broken?
However…
He wanted to make more money.
To squeeze the value of the four cars to the extreme.
With a thought, he dialed a number: "Hi! Mr. John, how have you been recently?"
"Chen, my brother!" John was very happy.
No choice!
Having bought three products from Chuangshiji, only the SP4 factory had been built and put into production.
The other two products still relied on Chen Hao for OEM.
How could he dare to have a bad attitude?
"What do you think of the performance of Shenzhou Motors?" Chen Hao went straight to the point.
"Very strong! Very strong!" John said solemnly.
This sentence came from the heart!
Even he had spent 1 million to buy a Jinghong supercar, which he loved.
"Are you interested?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"No no no!"
John immediately shook his head: "First of all, I don't have that much cash, secondly… Chen! Shenzhou Motors has been banned, what would I buy it for?"
"What if you buy the parts?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
"Morgan establishes a company in North America and puts together imported parts, what do you think?"
"You mean…"
"Not buying the patent doesn't require paying a huge fee in advance—the investment isn't much."
"Damn!"
John's eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think of that? Let's talk about the specific price!"
"25,000 USD for the Frigate, 30,000 USD for the Destroyer, 80,000 USD for the Chengying, 150,000 USD for the Jinghong."
"Why don't you just rob me?!"
"With the performance of Shenzhou Motors, entering the North American market… it's the Morgan Consortium robbing the North American car market, not me robbing you."
"But your price… is higher than the retail price in China!"
"Believe me, there will be many groups and consortia willing to accept this price."
"This…"
"Because we're friends, I contacted you first."
Chen Hao dropped a sentence and hung up directly: "Okay! I'll go ask the Rockefellers and see if they want to make money."
The phone hung up very decisively.
Chen Hao wasn't lying.
He was really going to call all parties.
"Hello!"
John was in a great hurry.
He quickly called back, but couldn't get through.
It indicated that it was currently in a call.
He put away his phone, his mind racing.
That day, he had gambled with Akio Toyoda, and he knew the performance of the four cars very well.
Not to mention anything else.
The performance of the Jinghong could definitely crush global supercars, and the wholesale price was only 150,000 USD.
How much does a Lamborghini sell for?
What about a Bugatti?
What about a Ferrari?
In short!
There was a lot of money to be made!
North America prohibits the import of Shenzhou Motors, but I'm only importing parts, that shouldn't be a problem, right?
The parts are shipped to North America, and assembled immediately upon arrival.
Morgan starts its own car company.
Change the logo!
Rebrand!
Thinking of this, he took out his phone again and contacted the elders of his family.
