"Kawasaki is the originator of street racing. There's a saying in the racing circle: Honda is used for racing, Suzuki is used for racing, Yamaha is used for chasing girls, and Kawasaki is used for risking your life …"
Li Rui pretended to be shocked and interrupted, "You're risking your life?" Then, he thought of her crazy driving style and sighed, "You seem to be risking your life all the time!"
Mu Shuang said disdainfully, "Only people with good hands are risking their lives. For an expert like me, what kind of motorcycle can't I drive? You don't know, Kawasaki Motorcycles is just a product of a subsidiary company under Kawasaki Heavy Industries. This company is researching fighter jet engines. How violent do you think its engines are? Therefore, Kawasaki Motorcycles' engines are also … "
This Miss Mu was indeed different from other girls. Although she also liked to drive luxury cars, use famous brands, and dress up like most rich young ladies, she seemed to have the hot blood of a man flowing in her bones. Her love for motorcycles had reached the point of madness. For example, now, she was talking about the various models of Kawasaki Motorcycles and their strengths and weaknesses. She spoke fluently and without stuttering. She was even more professional than a male rider. As a girl, she should be introducing women's products like bags, shoes, and cosmetics to her friends.
Li Rui was stunned. After listening for a while, he lost interest and waved his hand to interrupt her, "I'm going back to the exhibition center. Can you introduce them to me at night?"
"You're not going to tour the building?"
"What's there to see?"
"Indeed, there's nothing to see … Uh, no, I'm with you. What else do you want to see? I'm a beauty. You should feel honored that I'm with you, even if I'm walking on the road, okay? "
"Help me contact your translator bestie!"
"F * ck, ignoring me again. Do you believe that I'll beat you up …"
Three o 'clock in the afternoon, at the International Investment Fair in the Guangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center.
"… Okay, three grams of oil!"
Ye Li politely nodded to a blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty from an American exhibitor. She then turned around and gestured to Li Rui, who was standing beside her, and walked out.
Li Rui and Chen Yang quickly followed him. When they reached a secluded area, Li Rui asked expectantly, "How was it?"
Ye Li was Mu Shuang's best friend who majored in English and had studied abroad for a few years. She was about the same age as Mu Shuang. She had long hair that reached her neck, and her bangs were parted around her forehead. She had delicate features, snow-white skin, and an elegant temperament. She wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Although she wasn't as beautiful as Mu Shuang, she was still a pretty lady. After Mu Shuang and Li Rui left the Qi Tian Corporation in the morning, they called her. It was already lunchtime, so the three of them went to have lunch together. After that, Ye Li accompanied Li Rui back to the expo and acted as his translator to negotiate with the exhibitors of the foreign companies. As for Mu Shuang, she was a senior executive of the Qi Tian Corporation and was very busy. Since she couldn't help Li Rui much, she went back to work.
Ye Li shook her head and said, "The other party said that she was very grateful for our visit, but her company is a high-tech biotechnology company. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find a supporting industry in our area. This time, she's only considering looking for partners in the Pearl River Delta region. Moreover, she has already reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with a district in Shenzhen, so I'm very sorry …"
When she said this, she looked a little disappointed. This was the fifth time she had been rejected. Even if she was only acting as Li Rui and Chen Yang's translator, and it had nothing to do with her if they couldn't find a sponsor, the frequent rejections made her feel a sense of failure and frustration.
When Chen Yang, who had been suppressing his anger because of the unfavorable start, heard this, he couldn't help but cry out indignantly, "What high-tech biotechnology company? I think she's just using a cover to fool people. There's nothing on the exhibition stage. It's not a shell company, but it's not much different. How dare she call herself a high-tech company? Tsk, do you think our Shuanghe wants you to settle down?"
Li Rui waved his hand to stop him from complaining. He couldn't blame the other party for this kind of thing. He could only blame himself for not cultivating his internal energy properly. If Shuanghe was as developed as Guangzhou, it would be like a tall and lush Chinese parasol tree. He wouldn't have to worry about not being able to attract a golden phoenix. The problem now was that Shuanghe was like a withered and decadent grass. It was difficult to attract even a single sparrow, let alone a golden phoenix. He said to Ye Li, "Let's continue. Next one."
Despite the many failures, Li Rui didn't give up. Since he was already at the expo site and had a professional translator like Ye Li by his side, of course he had to seize this good opportunity. He tried to contact as many exhibitors as possible and did his best. Even if he didn't get anything in the end, at least he would be able to feel at ease after putting in the effort. He might even be able to reap some benefits if his luck suddenly dropped. In short, there was only a chance if he kept trying. If he just accepted his fate now, he could only return empty-handed.
"Hmm? Why is this exhibitor so deserted? "
Walking to a corner, Li Rui found a small booth in the corner. It was only two or three square meters in size, and there was not much decoration on it. There was only a young white man with blonde hair and blue eyes standing there. When passersby passed by, they just glanced at him casually and turned away without stopping. The blonde man had a bitter smile on his face. He opened his eyes wide and looked at everyone who approached the booth, hoping that they would stop and take a look.
Ye Li was also interested in this booth. Without waiting for Li Rui's instructions, she took the initiative to greet the blonde man. The golden-haired man was very happy. He invited her to the booth, took a picture book, and explained it to her hand and mouth.
Ten minutes later, Ye Li, who had already asked around, returned to Li Rui's side. She said to him, "We encountered a very interesting situation. This blonde man is called Frank. He is a German Ruhr who is studying in Guangzhou. He heard about this exhibition and came to participate in it. He wants to find a partner to set up a factory to produce a diesel engine that his grandfather modified and invented.
His grandfather was a mechanical engineer and an engine expert. He was an assistant to the inventor of the Tiger tank engine during World War II. After the end of World War II, he applied for many patents on agricultural engine parts. After he passed away, he left behind a large number of inventions and drawings for his descendants. Some of them were not patented and were not made public.
Frank had been influenced by his grandfather's two generations. He had a strong interest in mechanical engineering and a genius understanding of it. When he was six years old, he could dismantle and assemble an engine by himself. When he was fifteen, he was invited to the Ruhr University's School of Mechanical Engineering to teach a group of university students. However, when he grew up, he didn't go into this industry. Instead, he came to China to study architecture. He wanted to set up his own architecture studio in Shanghai after he finished his studies. He wanted to develop it into a world-renowned architecture studio within ten years. However, that would require a large amount of funding.
Therefore, he chose an old-fashioned diesel engine from the inventions left behind by his grandfather. He upgraded it and looked for a partner to set up a factory in China to produce it. He said that the technology used in this diesel engine is outdated in Europe and America. However, it is very suitable for China's needs. Its characteristics are low cost, high power, low fuel consumption, and good quality. It can be operated for a long time and can be widely used in all agricultural equipment. If it is approved to be produced and sold, he believes that it can occupy at least ten percent of the domestic agricultural engine market in three years. Frank is very confident about this. "
Li Rui didn't have time to express his opinion. Chen Yang exclaimed in shock, "His grandfather lived during World War II? Then wouldn't this engine that the old man invented be 60 to 70 years behind modern technology? Can this kind of antique still be used? "
Although Li Rui didn't have a deep understanding of Germany, he knew the strength of Germany's industry. Not to mention the many world-famous military inventions in Germany during World War II and the rapid development of science and technology in the United States after obtaining German military technology and scientists, the popularity of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi "BBA" in China was very clear. On the surface, they crushed the sales of other brands. However, in reality, it was because of their strong mechanical industrial base and quality assurance. This country with a small population was synonymous with miracles. Things that were outdated in this country were very popular in other countries. Even if it was decades behind, it still had its merits and could not be underestimated like Chen Yang.
"I'm not very familiar with the field of agricultural engines, but I'm very interested in his situation. Lili, can you help me ask where his grandfather's patent for this engine is? Can it be approved to be produced in China? If it can be produced, how much investment will it take to get it on the right track? How much is the cost of such an engine and how much is the profit? "
Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask him now. Please wait for a moment." She then walked towards Frank.
Frank was looking at the three of them discussing. He had already realized that Ye Li was just a translator and the real decision-maker was Li Rui. Therefore, when he saw Ye Li walking over, he quickly went forward and said to Li Rui in broken Chinese, "Let's … stand here … and talk."
Li Rui smiled and asked, "You know Chinese?" After he said that, he realized something and slapped himself on the head. How could he not know Chinese when he came to China to study?
Frank said, "I can only say … simple … words … a lot of time … no, sometimes, I also need to … flip … clothes."
Ye Li asked Li Rui a few questions and Frank answered them one by one.
