Facing Su Yunwei's warning, Lu Yiming didn't care. He refused directly: "That won't work. I won't marry her unless I do."

After hearing this, Su Yunwei became a little annoyed and warned sternly: "Although Shi Qingxue is not named Su, she is extremely favored in the family. We will never allow anyone to hurt her. If you try to get through Xiaoxue,

Our Su family covets the wealth of our Su family, I advise you to give up as soon as possible, you will not succeed."

Because of the incident between Shi Caijiang and Su Yunjin, Su Yunwei is now extremely wary of anyone approaching Shi Qingxue.

In her opinion, Lu Yiming's behavior was also malicious.

Originally, Su Yunwei thought that she had spoken so openly, and the young man in front of her would have retreated. However, she never thought that the smile on Lu Yiming's face did not change at all: "Okay, what about the Su family?"

Those who are not from the Su family seem to be very rare to me. To tell you the truth, I don’t care at all whether the Su family has money or not. Anyway, I won’t have any money in the future.”

"All in all, I only have a pure love for Shi Qingxue, and I love her to the extreme. Whether you believe it or not, I am sincere to Xiaoxue, and time will prove everything."

After Lu Yiming finished speaking, he didn't care that Su Yunwei's face turned extremely ugly. He stood up and came to sit across from Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue asked nervously: "What did you say?"

Lu Yiming joked: "My aunt said she wanted to marry you to me, and we are talking about the bride price."

Shi Qingxue curled her lips and said with disgust: "Liar."

Lu Yiming continued to lie without changing his expression: "Why are you lying to me? We are really discussing the bride price."

Shi Qingxue tilted her head and thought for a while, then pouted and asked: "Then tell me, what is your betrothal gift?"

Lu Yiming laughed and joked: "My betrothal gift is a wealth empire. If I say a word, the world's economy will be shaken by the wealth empire."

Shi Qingxue: "..."

Su Yunwei walked over and said, "Let's go home for dinner."

When he got home, the food was already on the table. Lu Ding sat on his seat and drank wine without saying a word. Lu Yiming asked with some surprise: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"

Facing Lu Yiming, Lu Ding could talk about everything now. He sighed and said in a low tone: "Didn't you lend me money some time ago so that the factory could import a set of high-precision production equipment? Competition has come

A production order for auto parts,

I also spent money to recruit several technical backbones from foreign companies. As a result, my old classmate who was a senior executive in a car company was directly transferred from his position, and the orders that I was originally sure of were taken away before I even started.

Well, all the preparations were in vain.”

As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do things. Lu Ding had the idea of ​​​​competing for orders before. It was because of this old classmate and Lu Yiming's financial support that everything went very smoothly.

Originally, he thought that Dingyuan Mold Factory could take this opportunity to successfully transform and become a joint venture brand auto parts supplier. As a result, things came to a head, and the key positions were gone.

This kind of order is always a good thing, and the competition is fierce. Everyone is fighting for connections, resources, and technology to get involved crazily. But now that Lu Ding’s connections are gone, it is only expected that the order will be taken away.

things in it.

Listening to his father's story, Lu Yiming was able to empathize with him.

Although Dingyuan Mold Factory now has orders for the production of computer chassis from Keylai Technology, this thing can't make much money at all - it's just a fancy tin box. How many points can you make by making it?

Not to mention that the current domestic market atmosphere is a barbaric and disorderly one. Piracy from outside has begun to fly all over the place. In less than three weeks after the Dingyuan Mold Factory released the chassis models, the pirated copies from outside were directly listed in the computer market for sale.

.

Although I have the appearance patent, it is of no use at all.

As long as the above can collect taxes, who cares whether piracy or not?

Although the products produced by pirates are fake, the tax paid is real.

As for harming genuine interests? Infringing on intellectual property rights?

whocare?

Lu Yiming comforted his father with a relaxed look on his face and said: "Dad, all roads lead to Rome. If this order is gone, it will be gone. The good thing is that high-precision equipment and experienced technical backbones are already in the factory. The worst is.

Let’s find some new business. Guangqi Honda is nothing special. If we don’t give us orders, won’t it be over if we just build our own cars?”

Although Lu Yiming spoke impassionedly, Lu Ding was really hit hard this time. He had no interest in what Lu Yiming said at all. After all, a good mold factory has been reduced to this by him.

The frustration is not ordinary.

Lu Ding took a sip of his wine and said angrily: "No more, it's boring. Besides, are you able to build a car if you say you can? Look at those foreign car companies, which one is not rich and powerful? What about us?"

It’s hard to build a wheel!”

Lu Yiming looked disdainful when he heard this: "Why can't we do it? Isn't a car just a chassis with four wheels? Foreigners can build it, but we can't? Besides, dad, you can't be discouraged.

I’ve invested so much money, you can’t let my money go down the drain, right? Since ancient times, I’ve heard of sons cheating on their fathers, but I’ve never seen fathers cheating on their sons.”

Seeing his son's fighting spirit so high, Lu Ding sighed with a desolate look on his face: "Foreign countries have laid out the automobile industry earlier and have deeper technological accumulation. Just one engine is enough to make us sigh. This matter is beyond your imagination.

So simple."

Although he knows that his son is rich, Lu Ding knows that the automobile industry is a typical capital-intensive industry. Whether it is research and development, manufacturing, procurement, sales, etc., real money must be poured into it before he can see it.

get rewarded.

"Your ideas are too wild and unrestrained. Investments of this level can cost billions to tens of billions. How can you get so much money to build a car?"

Lu Yiming did not answer, but asked with a smile: "Dad, don't worry about anything else. Just tell me the truth, do you want to build a car?"

Lu Ding drank the glass and said impassionedly: "Of course I do. Cars are a man's romance. I have always dreamed about building cars. But in the end, you have to be down-to-earth. I am just a mold factory owner. You

If you ask me to process car parts, I can barely handle it, but building cars is something someone like me can do?"

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and poured a glass of wine for his father: "Dad, you still have to have dreams as a human being, otherwise what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"

Lu Ding glared at Lu Yiming and gritted his teeth angrily: "What, now that your wings are hard, you dare to look down on your father and me? You actually call me a salted fish?"

Lu Yiming quickly waved his hand: "No way, I just want to sponsor your dream. I think building cars has great potential. Now that our country's economy is taking off and our comprehensive national strength is increasing day by day, people will have money in their hands in the future.

Your pockets are bulging, you have enough food and clothing, but don’t you just think about the house and the car? You don’t want all the foreign cars on our country’s roads in the future, right? That looks so frustrating.”

Although Lu Ding was very moved, he still shook his head and refused: "Forget it, I can't do it."

In order to win the order from Guangzhou Automobile Honda, he had already asked his son to borrow a sum of foreign exchange to purchase equipment. However, now that the order was cancelled, he had no intention of bothering and immediately backed down.

Lu Yiming refused to give up, and still sat next to Lu Ding, asking him incessantly: "Why can't we do it? Although foreign countries have been struggling with diesel locomotives for more than a hundred years, we can't catch up now, so let's just change the track

Isn’t that the end? Let’s just build electric cars so that we can overtake those foreigners who look down on us.”

Lu Ding thought he heard wrongly: "What did you say? Electric car?"

Lu Yiming waved his hands enthusiastically: "Yes, we are now in the era of electrification. Dad, look, electricity can cook, boil hot water, and function as a TV... Electricity is a kind of energy, and the burning of gasoline is also converted into energy.

To drive a car, just turn the engine into a motor and plug some batteries into it, isn't it?

Electric cars? What a simple thing. In fact, electric cars are nothing new at all. The world's first electric car was a three-wheeled car invented by French inventor Gustave Trouville in 1881.

You see, more than a hundred years have passed, we can’t be inferior to dead people now, right?”

Lu Ding was said to be very moved.

He was not a peaceful person to begin with. When he was young, he did very well in reading. He was also known far and wide as the "King of Inventions" and a skilled man who could rub desk lamps by hand.

At that time, Lu Ding often disassembled and reinstalled the electrical appliances at home, for which he was often beaten by his biological mother. Originally, he had hopes of going to college, but his family was poor. In order to survive, he had to come to Baiyun to work alone.

.

As a result, thanks to his intelligence and ability, he transformed from a worker to a boss and founded Dingyuan Mold Factory.

Over the years, the operation of Dingyuan Mold Factory consumed so much of his energy that he had put aside this "little hobby" in his youth. Now that Lu Yiming mentioned it again, his mind suddenly became more active.

.

After all, being a boss is just a side job, and a technical geek is the real thing.

"According to what you said, electric cars are possible?"

Lu Yiming was very happy to see Lu Ding's heart moved.

As a classic consumable in the 21st century, Lu Yiming still has a certain amount of national pride. Although he does not have any fanatical patriotic feelings, he uses domestic products as much as possible for daily expenses, especially when he sees foreign cars.

When a brand is not a good person and sells outdated junk products to China and people are crazy about it, it feels very bad in my heart.

Now that there is such an opportunity to compete with foreign automobile brands, Lu Yiming is of course willing to give it a try.

On the other hand, he was even more unwilling for Lu Ding to be hit by this incident and sink into it. He knew that building a car was not easy, and things like supply chain management and technical barriers were enough to make people bald.

But there are many things that cannot be stopped just because they are difficult to do, because it will definitely become more and more difficult to do in the future. Now grit your teeth and persevere, maybe there is still a glimmer of possibility to embrace a bright future.

What's more, being able to let his father find the joy and purpose of life again is more important to Lu Yiming than anything else.

As for spending money?

As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy. When it comes to making money, isn't it just a matter of having the skills?

Lu Yiming believes that relying on his knowledge of the world that is more than 20 years ahead, it is not difficult to make money to support Lu Ding's car manufacturing.

"Do it, of course you can do it. Dad, didn't so and so say it? Where there is a will, there is a way. The Hundred and Er Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu. Don't dare to take the first step just because you are afraid of failure. In the starting stage

You can make use of your specialties, buy some old cars, dismantle them, do some modifications, and verify the technical route, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money."

Now the main business of Dingyuan Mold Factory is to manufacture computer cases for Jianlai Technology. This thing has no technical content at all. It relies entirely on novel industrial design to open up the market, so the price is not very high. With small profits but quick turnover,

We can only barely make ends meet, and we will have to face a large group of imitators and copycats in the future, so it is impossible to do it as our main business.

Therefore, car manufacturing is the new business direction that Lu Yiming has found for Dingyuan Mold Factory.
