Chapter 453 Visiting Relatives
"Tsk tsk, keep making it up, sir!"

Not only Zhang Shouchun, everyone did not believe Wang Deming's words.

After all, it involves two beautiful Taiwanese girls.

Wang Deming could only tell the truth, "They are Taiwanese actors, but their parents are from mainland China."

"Now that we have communication with the mainland, can we go back to the mainland to visit relatives? They want to entrust me to find their relatives in the mainland."

"Lin Qingxia has an older sister who was left behind in the mainland."

"Oh" Zhang Shouchun did not continue to pester her. When she heard the word "visiting relatives", she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When I came to Hong Kong, although life might be more convenient, I was leaving my hometown after all. My life in Beijing before was also worry-free, and the life there was more lively and happier.

"Did they find you through Li Heizi?" Zhang Shouchun suddenly lost interest. "Then you should say hello to the mainland and look for them carefully."

"Nothing is more important than family reunion."

"Well, there's news from Beijing that I'm going to bring the automobile production line that was relocated from the UK to Shanghai this time."

Wang Deming finally chose to move the automobile production line to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange had previously been negotiating investment with Germany's Volkswagen, but its true colors were exposed by Wang Deming, who said it was providing the most advanced car production line, but in fact it was third-hand goods, old ones dismantled from Brazil.

This is nothing, but what domestic leaders are most concerned about is whether the cars produced in the future can be exported to earn foreign exchange?
The answer is no.

Wang Deming knew that it was not until several decades later that China's automobile industry overtook the electric car industry and became a major automobile exporter in the world.

Wang Deming brought the equipment back directly from the UK, and provided technical drawings weighing more than ten tons. He also wanted to bring in technology from the Yangtze River Delta to conduct in-depth research together.

The most important thing is that it can be sold through British channels to the UK and the Commonwealth, that is, British colonies, such as: Canada, Australia, India, etc.

A few months later, the site of the new automobile factory had been prepared in Shanghai, and construction was still underway day and night, because Wang Deming was moving more than just a production line this time.

There are several car brands, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, and trucks.

Wang Deming flew directly to Shanghai. When the Shanghai leaders learned that the production line was on its way to Shanghai, they were extremely excited.

A large number of personnel were deployed overnight to decorate the port as if it were a sports venue, with colorful flags flying and flowers everywhere. Middle school students from several schools were also urgently brought in, wearing white shirts, black pants, and white shoes.

As soon as the cargo ship entered the port, firecrackers rang out one after another, and the roar was deafening.

Then there were the sound of gongs and drums, and the students waved the bouquets in their hands vigorously.
Wang Deming never expected that the leaders of the Shanghai Stock Exchange would arrange such a thing, especially overnight.

After the freighter came to a stop, the leaders of Shanghai stood in front of the towering freight, their faces beaming as they accepted interviews from TV reporters and other newspaper reporters, constantly talking about their outlook for the future of Shanghai's auto industry.

This was almost the same routine that would be used to conquer the European and American markets a few years later. The leader was so enthusiastic, Wang Deming could not pour cold water on him, and could only smile and say nothing.

After the reporters took a lot of photos, a group of people boarded the freighter. Of course, they used the mechanical equipment for unloading at the port to assist them. They first tied up the production line manually bit by bit, and then lifted it down from the freighter.

There are dozens of trucks parked at the port, of all brands, including GAZ-150, Jiefang, etc., which continuously transport production lines to the Phoenix Automobile Factory in the yard.

In the Phoenix Automobile Factory, there are already quite a few blond and white-haired British engineers, holding blueprints in their hands, discussing the design of the factory and the configuration of the production line with the Chinese engineers.

Not only in Shanghai, but also in Wuhan Iron and Steel Plant, there are engineers and factory managers from the United States who are guiding the pressing of 1-meter cold-rolled steel plates for automobile shells.

It is possible to travel from Wuhan to Shanghai by water via the Yangtze River.

The factories dismantled from British car factories also include car engine factories, clutch factories, etc., but other car parts, such as car bearings and tires, require the cooperation of other domestic factories.

With the previous experience of Global Electronics, the selected cooperative factories also have British engineers to guide production, especially standardization issues.

If it is sporadic production, there are many factories in the country that can produce auto parts that meet the standards, but once it is on a large scale, domestic machine tools will not have such high precision.

The domestic machine tool industry developed very early and has been vigorously developed since the founding of the People's Republic of China. There are dozens of machine tool factories in Beijing, Shenyang, Dalian, Wuhan, etc., and there have also been breakthroughs in digital machine tools.

As early as the 70s, Beijing's No. Machine Tool Factory and Tsinghua University jointly developed the country's first digital gantry hammock.

A factory is not built in a day. After arranging a series of automobile matters in Shanghai and leaving behind the senior engineers and factory managers in charge from several original automobile companies, Wang Deming returned to Hong Kong.

It was already July at this time. In June, after more than two months of battle, Britain finally defeated Argentina. Especially after sinking an Argentine warship with a torpedo, Argentina suddenly became weak.

When the British army landed on Malvinas Island in June, the Argentine army surrendered.

All the British were very proud of this, and Mrs. Thatcher took advantage of the victory to come to Beijing in September to negotiate on the Hong Kong issue.

There was another incident in June, which was the troublemaker in the Middle East. Israel invaded Lebanon, and the war in the Middle East broke out again.

There was another big fluctuation in oil futures. Wang Deming returned to Hong Kong and directed his investment companies to sell part of the gold futures and enter the oil futures market again.

Only this era is a good time to make money in oil futures.

The reason is that the Soviet Union still existed during this era, and it was the era of the US-Soviet rivalry. The American capitalists were not yet powerful enough to completely control the oil in the Middle East.

Many people say that one of the reasons for the decline of the Soviet Union was the invasion of Afghanistan. The ten-year war of conquest cost the Soviet Union its last drop of blood.

If the United States had been the only superpower in the previous life, Wang Deming would never have dared to play futures like this, and he would not know when he would be cheated to death by the American capitalists.
