Chapter 882: You Are Just Blaming Someone Else for Something Else, so What?

Li Ye and others went to Mitsubishi's truck factory, which was not in Tokyo. The journey was a bit far, at least two hours, which gave Li Ye more time for observation.

Secretary Zhong took out several other newspapers and asked Liu Muhan: "Chief Liu, could you please take a look? These newspapers are also saying that Japan's economic situation is better than that of Beacon." ?”

Liu Muhan browsed the translation, nodded and said, "About that! Since last year, Japan's economic development has been very rapid, exceeding the expectations of many Western economists.

When I went to the lighthouse a few months ago, I heard people there say that Japanese people seem to have endless amounts of money to spend and buy whatever they see.

Last year, Japan's Mitsui spent $600 million to buy the Exxon Building in Beacon, Sumitomo Group bought 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, and Mitsubishi even wanted to buy the Rockefeller Building.

These buildings are not simple buildings, they are landmark buildings equivalent to our country’s Temple of Heaven and Yellow Crane Tower.”

Liu Muhan was a good storyteller. He vividly described the "arrogance" of the Japanese stupid people at this time to a few thin newspapers, which made several people in the car energetic.

But then she changed the subject and asked with a smile: "Secretary Zhong, in fact, these financial news have little to do with our projects, why are you suddenly interested in them?"

"."

Secretary Zhong was speechless for a moment, but Mr. Gu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Liu, what you said is wrong. This news has a lot to do with us. The economy determines everything.

Think about it, if the Japanese idiots really can’t spend all their money, will our negotiations go smoothly this time? Five million dollars is an astronomical figure to us, but to others it may be a drop in the bucket."

"It turns out that Mr. Gu not only understands technology, but also understands economic analysis!"

Gu Lao talked a lot and immediately won the praise of several younger brothers.

Xiao Jinggang said exaggeratedly: "Hey, so there is so much knowledge in newspapers? I didn't know it before."

And Secretary Zhong also praised without hesitation: "Yes, yes, Mr. Gu knows a little bit, and he really has unique insights."

Even Li Ye felt that Gu Lao's words had some meaning. Although not much, at least the starting point was good.

But then, Mr. Gu pointed to a page of stock rise and fall data in the newspaper and asked: "Xiaoliu, what are these data? I saw several words Mitsubishi in them. Are they all related to Mitsubishi Motors' economic performance?" Is it related to the situation?”

Liu Muhan blinked, a little puzzled, but still patiently explained: "This is the recent increase list of Riben stocks.

These data belong to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Electric. They are not directly related to Mitsubishi Motors, but they all belong to the Mitsubishi Group."

"Oh, I understand, that is the same as the relationship between the No. 1 Branch Factory and the Light Vehicle Company?"

Mr. Gu suddenly nodded, and suddenly pointed to a 17% figure and asked: "Is this 17% the increase you are talking about? What does it mean specifically?"

Liu Muhan nodded and said, "Yes, Mitsubishi Electric rose by 17% yesterday. That is to say, if you originally had 100 yuan of Mitsubishi Electric stock, you will have 117 yuan today."

"."

The van was quiet for a few seconds, then suddenly became lively.

"Hey, the interest is only seventeen yuan a day? Oh my god"

"Isn't this more sinister than loan sharking?"

"Seventeen percent a day, which is higher than the interest we earn in the bank for a year. Is there such a business in the world? Is there some fraud involved?"

"."

"Is there a lie in this? Haha~, don't say this to stupid Japanese people, otherwise they will laugh at our shallow knowledge."

Secretary Zhong said with a smile: "We are stuck in the mainland all day long, and we have no idea how vast the world is outside. I heard from my friends that interest rates in developed countries will one day double or even triple!"

"How many times a day? That's not gambling."

"What kind of gambling? Don't talk nonsense," Secretary Zhong explained hurriedly: "That's called futures, and it's a very advanced financial transaction method."

"My darling, you are so advanced. No wonder Japanese people are so rich."

"."

Several people in the van blushed, and their eyes seemed to be glowing green.

But Li Ye looked at Gu Jianqi and Secretary Zhong with even more doubts.

Although they said that understanding Japan through finance and economics can better communicate and trade with Mitsubishi Motors, it sounds quite reasonable.

But Li Ye, based on his keen observation experience, felt that Secretary Zhong and Mr. Gu were more interested in mathematical problems such as which stocks rose the most, how much they could rise every day, and how much 10% interest compounded twelve times could triple their value. .

Liu Muhan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, these are issues related to economics! Li Ye is the expert, he graduated from the Department of Economics of Beijing University! Li Ye, come and explain the futures issues to Mr. Gu in detail."

Li Ye nodded, cleared his throat, and started to educate everyone about the risks of futures. For example, when the market fluctuates violently, someone will liquidate their position every minute, someone will jump off a building every day, and so on.

But Li Ye didn't even have a chance to say a word. Mr. Gu waved his hands coldly and said: "Forget it, we are just chatting on the road. Now Deputy Director Li is worried about the introduction of the project, so it's better not to distract him. "

"."

After Gu Lao finished speaking, no one else spoke. After all, everyone was a member of the project introduction inspection team, and they should also worry about cars.

After a while, Xiao Jingang took the initiative to break the awkwardness and said: "Tsk, do you think that the van we are riding in is actually no worse than a car, it is spacious and comfortable."

"That's right, I have been thinking about this for the past two days. Why are they all vans? Our vans in the mainland are so bumpy that your butt hurts, but this van is like sitting on cotton."

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally suddenly asked Li Ye: "Deputy Director Li, you took a Mercedes-Benz yesterday, didn't you notice this?"

"I analyzed this issue with Director Lu and Professor Zhao when I was in the mainland. Our small passenger cars in the mainland are all evolved from trucks and use truck chassis.

And this van is obviously a special chassis for buses. If there is a chance this time, we can also talk to Mitsubishi Motors about the introduction of technology for this van."

Li Ye calmly explained to everyone why they are all vans, but the comfort is so different.

Why did the vans in the mainland still use truck chassis crudely transplanted until 2000?

Li Ye believes that it is directly related to these slow-reacting "technical authorities". If an advanced chassis technology can be introduced earlier, it will greatly speed up his independent research and development plan.

But as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, he was poured a bucket of cold water.

"Young people should not want to buy good things when they see them. You have to see the gap with others,"

Gu Lao looked forward and scolded lightly: "The stupid people buy whatever they see. If you have enough ability to pay, you have to ask your parents if they have money at home."

"."

Li Ye pursed his lips and almost retorted to the old guy, but he held back when the words came to his lips.

It is indeed fun to be quick with words, but he has not retired yet after all. If he goes back and complains, it will be a complication.

But Li Ye didn't say anything, Liu Muhan smiled and said: "Old Gu is right, our 5 million US dollars this time is self-raised funds for a branch. If it exceeds the budget, we have to rely on the department to subsidize some more."

"."

Everyone was silent.

If Li Ye said that he paid for the introduction of technology and it had nothing to do with you old guys, he would definitely be labeled as "ambitious and rebellious".

But Liu Muhan doesn't care!

We are not from the same system, so you are just blaming me, what's wrong with you?
