Chapter 451 Research cannot stop

The leaders of the Shanghai Stock Exchange stopped and looked back curiously.

"That's right. If Shanghai can strive for a joint venture, Shanghai's Electronics Research Institute, Universal Electronics, also hopes to conduct some insignificant investment research."

"Haha, good news!" The leader laughed, "Good news!"

"You don't need to ask your superiors for permission. I can give you an answer right now!"

Wang Deming nodded with a smile, "There is another very important investment, that is the automobile factory in the UK."

"I have communicated with the leaders of the Third Ministry of Machine Building before. They hope to arrange for me to be in Beijing and form a joint venture with Beijing Auto. I think it would be best to be in a coastal city."

"For example, our Shanghai Stock Exchange, our Tianjin Stock Exchange and so on."

“This is good for exports!”

"Oh!" The leaders looked at each other for a while, then sat back at the conference table. "Comrade Deming, tell me in detail."

If we were to ask which modern industry can best drive the development of the industrial chain, the automobile industry would definitely have a place.

This is not just a matter of a car, but also a matter of driving the upstream and downstream industries. The cars produced can be exported to earn foreign exchange and create employment, which is the best.

After Wang Deming mentioned several British automobile companies, including Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, and trucks, the leaders of the Shanghai Stock Exchange couldn't help but smile happily.

What is this? This is a pillow for sleeping, and a meal for being hungry!
"Bang!" The leading leader slammed the table and said, "Deming, we want all four auto factories!"

"As long as you are willing to move these automobile factories to our Shanghai City, if there is anything difficult to coordinate, I will personally help you coordinate!"

"Haha, in addition, there is an advantage in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. In addition to the 1-meter cold-rolled steel production line in Wuhan, the Baosteel that we are building has this cold-rolled steel line."

“If you want to make a car shell somewhere else, you can’t just press it into shape all at once!”

Since the leaders were so enthusiastic, Wang Deming agreed to it.

"However, I have a few more conditions that I would like to ask the leaders to agree to."

"you say!"

"It's like this. I'm familiar with several chief engineers of the Y-10 aircraft projects." All the previous work was preparation, whether it was the electronics industry or the automobile industry, and it was all for this moment. "I also know that the large aircraft project has encountered very big difficulties now."

"After the Y-10 aircraft project is disbanded, all research materials and technical personnel will be dispersed back to their original units."

"What I value most is such a team. Such a technical research team is of great appeal to both the electronics industry and the automotive industry."

Wang Deming smiled and said: "This is especially important because the cars produced in the future need to be exported to earn foreign exchange."

"This" The leader originally thought that Wang Deming might propose to ask for more land, or a more favorable tax policy, but he never expected that he would say this.

The leader pondered for a while, then whispered to his left and right, "Comrade Deming, this is a big problem."

". And the transportation project is also very complicated, involving decisions from above and directions on the left and right."

"We have already applied to the higher authorities in Shanghai," the leader said solemnly, "We have several large investment projects like the ones you mentioned today, and we will apply again." "But if we can't convince the leaders."

"At least one automobile factory will be relocated to Shanghai, and we can guarantee that the initial investment will not be less than 1000 million US dollars!"

"it is good!"

The leaders came with satisfaction and left with satisfaction.

At least two large foreign investment projects were negotiated and landed at once. Although they require joint ventures with domestic factories, it is definitely a shot in the arm for Shanghai's current economy.

What's more, whether it is Global Electronics or the British automobile factory, they can all export and earn foreign exchange.

Not to mention how the leaders of the Shanghai Stock Exchange persuaded Wang Deming to keep the Y-10 research team on his side.

The demolition speed of several automobile production lines in the UK has suddenly accelerated.

The reason is in faraway South America, the Falkland Islands!

Galtieri, the new Argentine President who emerged from a military coup, declared that the sovereignty issue could not be delayed any longer and demanded that Britain return the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands to Argentina.

Neither the Iron Lady Thatcher nor the declining Britain could agree to this. This is the face of Britain's old imperialism!
However, at this time, Britain only had two aircraft carriers and battleships left, all of which were outdated models, and some even dated from the First World War. In a word, the country was short of money.

Originally, they were moving slowly and with a hint of secrecy, fearing that other European countries would know that they had begun selling their country's broken products abroad. But now, they are eager to move these automobile factories away quickly and let Wang Deming pay the balance.

There was no other reason. Seeing that the war was about to break out, everyone in the country, from top to bottom, was extremely angry and clamoring to let those South American bumpkins see the majesty of the British Empire.

But what's the point of fighting a war without money? Just refueling the few remaining junky warships in the navy costs millions of pounds!

A million pounds may sound like a small amount, but these days the pound and gold have not yet been decoupled!
After Wang Deming moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong, he was visited by the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, who urged him to move the automobile factories in the UK as soon as possible.

He hinted that it doesn't matter where you move to, the most important thing is to pay the balance as soon as possible.

In addition, he also asked Wang Deming, Britain is not just interested in the automotive industry, but also in other industries?

For example, steel? For example, chemicals?
Imperial Chemicals is also very famous!

Of course, not all of them are sold, only a part of the ones with outdated production capacity are sold.

Although the production capacity is backward, it is still first-class technology in Hong Kong.

Wang Deming understood clearly, what is backward production capacity? It is nothing more than an excuse to sell the factory in the UK.

Wang Deming gladly accepted.

But he was going to build an oil refinery in Hong Kong. How did Singapore develop? Wasn't it just that the oil from the Middle East was transported to Singapore and directly refined, and Singapore made a profit in the middle?
The Lee family in Singapore can do it, but the Wang family in Hong Kong cannot?
In addition, Wang Deming and Murray MacLehose secretly made other deals, and Murray MacLehose left with satisfaction.

As the days passed, the attitude of Argentina's military President Galtieri became increasingly tough. He unilaterally announced the recovery of sovereignty and sent troops to Malvinas Island.

The UK began to work overtime to prepare for war. Mrs. Thatcher responded firmly to Argentina's Galtieri on many occasions, saying that the interests of the British Empire must not be violated!
Behind the scenes, Mr. Bao's Global Shipping and Mr. Dong's OOCL had several cargo ships sailing from the UK.
