"Hundreds of tons of gold, not counting the jewelry included, is indeed an astonishing amount of wealth. It's just that it's been decades since World War II ended, and no one has thought about finding them?"

The young man shrugged, obviously interested in this wealth.

"How could it not have been found? With the greed of cows and Gallic chickens, how could they have let go of such a large amount of wealth? It's just that North Africa is very big, with millions of square kilometers.

Even if the military camp where the Golden Team set out was used as the starting point, with the capabilities of tanks and cars, it would still have a range of four to five hundred kilometers. Such a large area is still an underground base in the desert.

Niu Niu's MI6 and Gaul Chicken's intelligence department searched for more than ten years with no results, and finally had to give up." The old man said with a smile.

"Official departments don't have it, but what about the democratic progressive groups? You have to know that many non-governmental organizations are more capable than the official government. The Pharaoh's pyramid is full of traps, and the tombs have been robbed, and even the corpses have been dragged out."

"Civil groups don't need to think about it. It's a military base. You must have a key to enter. If you don't have a key, you will pay heavy casualties if you forcefully break in. Even if the base defense system is breached, the base has a self-destruct program. Thousands of tons of explosives inside can send everything to the sky.

.

And it is a desert, with problems such as extreme temperature differences between day and night, disorientation, and high temperatures. Although the area around the pyramid is desolate, it is always close to the city. The base is different. It is in the hinterland of the desert. Without special tools, even if you find gold, you cannot transport it out.

.”

"In that case, uncle, why are you interested in it? Can you transport the gold out?" the young man asked.

"It wasn't possible before, because there was no key and I couldn't enter the base." The old man sighed, but his tone immediately changed and he said, "It's better now, because there has been no clue for decades.

MI6 and other departments have given up, and now they are taking out the keys and letting private groups look for them to see if no one is lucky enough to find the gold."

"Is Niu Niu so kind-hearted?" The young man shook his head. With Niu Niu's character, there is no ghost here. The sun rises from the west.

"Beware of a conspiracy." The old man shrugged and said with a smile, "I am very familiar with MI6, this is basically a scheme.

Not to mention whether you can find gold or not, even if you can find it, it is a desert. Without transportation, it will definitely not be transported. And with transportation, you haven't even loaded it into the car.

People from MI6 were already waiting outside.

Whether you want gold or your life, it's up to you.

This is a desert. We don’t need to shoot you. We can just throw you into the desert and you will become a mummy in less than two days.”

"In other words, the key is a game?"

"It must be a bureau. MI6 used a key and a document to kill countless people. I don't know how many people died in the desert this time, leaving both people and money empty."

"In this case, uncle, why are you still interested in it? Can you avoid MI6 and transport the gold out?" Seeing that the old man said the situation was so serious, the young man did not understand what he meant.

"Of course gold is not good, there is no transportation, but jewelry is different. There are only four large boxes of several hundred kilograms, which are easy to bring out. The price is not low, at least a billion or even billions of dollars.

As for the key, if you can grab it, grab it. If you can't grab it, just sit back and wait at the golden burial place, wait for them to come to the door, get the key, open the base, take the jewelry, and leave.

By the time MI6 people arrive, we have already escaped."

"Sit back and wait for the rabbit, uncle, do you know where the gold and jewelry are?" The young man's eyes lit up when he heard the idiom "wait for the rabbit."

"Of course, I was one of the soldiers who buried gold and jewels back then. That bastard tricked us into taking poison. When I didn't take it, he crippled my legs.

I have been waiting for decades to return to the base and tell him that the Führer failed and that I am the owner of the treasure."

------

A complete automobile production line is very large and can be divided into many small classification production lines, such as spraying, welding, stamping and final assembly, and more than a dozen production lines with different functions.

A complete production line of this size is worth tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Because the price is too high and there are only a few manufacturers producing cars, the sales volume is still very good even if it is global, and most of them are supporting branches.

Of course, if you can sell a complete automobile production line, the profits will be huge.

For manufacturers, profit is the first priority.

So when I heard that Lei Weidong wanted to buy one or two complete automobile production lines and enter the small car industry, he was not short of money and could easily spend hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not to mention traditional automobile production line suppliers such as Siemens and Bosch, even automobile manufacturers such as Chrysler, Toyota and Ford are taking action.

no way.

The automobile industry has been so deeply involved that a brand-new automobile production line will fall behind in a few years.

Just like the Poussin production line imported from Volkswagen.

Strictly speaking, at the time of the negotiation, this production line was not lagging behind and had great technical advantages.

But after several years of negotiations, and by the time the production line was put into production and the first car rolled off the production line, Poussin was already lagging behind the rest of the world.

Fortunately, the mainland market is lagging behind. Although Poussin is lagging behind, it is still advanced compared to the mainland.

In addition, Poussin has many advantages. Not only is the leather durable, but the overall quality is very reliable. It only requires simple maintenance within a few years. In addition, its chassis is high and its passability is very good.

Not only can you walk on urban roads, but you can also go to the construction site on the dirt roads in the countryside. Many people buy Poussin just to go to the construction site and go to the countryside.

While it made great contributions to the transportation in the Mainland in the 1980s and 1990s, it also allowed Volkswagen to take off in the Mainland. However, these cannot deny Poussin's backwardness and there is no market at all in Europe and the United States.

Like Volkswagen, major car manufacturers have more or less second-hand production lines in their hands, so they naturally want to dispose of the production lines to Lei Weidong.

Even though it is a second-hand production line, its value is over ten million US dollars.

Among them, the most depressing one is Volkswagen.

First of all, they have production lines that are ready to be shut down. Even if the Poussin-type production lines are handed over to Modu, there are still a few other types.

According to the production scale planned by Lei Weidong, if the production line can be sold to Lei Weidong, the profit will be at least 20 million US dollars, which is much better than mothballing the production line.

Cars are not like airplanes. According to international practice, once the production line is sealed, unless it is sold at a low price, the possibility of restarting is very low.

But selling the production line to Lei Weidong is not good either.

Because the Poussin, which they co-produced with Volkswagen, has just opened the market, and Audi, which co-produced with Yiqi, has not yet rolled off the production line, if they sell the production line to Lei Weidong again.

The cars produced can easily have an impact on it, even if it has little impact on the northern market, it will not have much impact on the southern market.

The public knows who is working with Lei Weidong, and it can be said that he has a huge influence in the south.

Also, Lei Weidong is not from the Mainland.

The cooperation between Volkswagen and Modu can be said to have the upper hand, not only grabbing the market and making a lot of money, but also firmly maintaining the technology.

The same cannot be said for Lei Weidong. Although it is also a joint venture, it is definitely Lei Weidong's responsibility. It is impossible without transferring technology.

Once Lei Weidong's company digests the technology in the hands of Volkswagen, and if it is better than its predecessors, Volkswagen will be in big trouble, which is equivalent to shooting itself in the foot.

But what if we don’t sell it and other companies take advantage of it?

Just when Volkswagen was hesitant, a group of Americans came to Xiangjiang in a very low-key manner, walked into the Oriental Group and knocked on the door of Lei Weidong's office.

"Hello, Mr. Iacocca, welcome to Xiangjiang." Looking at Li Iacocca, who was over sixty and a little tired, Lei Weidong took the initiative to reach out his right hand and shook it vigorously a few times, using

Welcome in fluent English.

"This is my partner, Miss Hua Yihan."

"Hello, Mr. Lei, hello Miss Hua Yihan."

After Lee Iacocca shook hands with Lei Weidong enthusiastically, he shook hands with Hua Yihan and said, "Lei, I heard about your achievements when I was in Beautiful Country.

At that time, I thought you were not an old man but also a middle-aged man. Unexpectedly, after meeting me, I realized that you are so young. Compared with you, I, an old man, have half my feet in the coffin."

During this period, Lee Iacocca's life was very difficult. The failure of the cooperation with FAW made him controversial at Chrysler.

You know, you know, in order to open the market in the mainland, Chrysler spent no less time than Volkswagen, and the negotiations with FAW lasted for several years.

First, let FAW introduce Chrysler engines. After they were satisfied with their use, they launched the Dodge 600 production line to match the engines. The matter was already almost settled.

Lee Iacocca actually took the opportunity to raise prices at the last moment, leaving FAW in a passive position.

He thought there was nothing FAW could do, after all, it had bought the engine, but he didn't expect Volkswagen to show up.

It said that it could provide FAW with Audi 100 vehicle technology at an extremely favorable price.

Compared with the Dodge 600, which was about to be phased out, the Audi 100 was a new model of Volkswagen at that time, not to mention much better than the Poussin in Shanghai. The most important thing is.

The Audi 100 production line can also be matched with Chrysler engines.

In other words, if FAW introduces the Audi 100 production line, it will not have to import the engine.

Of course, Chinese people value face and will not give up anything less than 10,000 yuan.

Considering that it had been negotiating with Chrysler for several years and was very happy to cooperate on the engine production line, FAW made one last attempt and sent a delegation to the beautiful country to discuss with Chrysler the price of the Dodge 600 production line.

Unexpectedly, the arrogant Lee Iacocca did not even show his face, but only sent his men to negotiate.

During the negotiations, although FAW revealed that it was in contact with Volkswagen and was preparing to introduce the Audi 100 production line, Lee Iacocca and others believed that this was a bluff by the Chinese side.

Being unmoved and still insisting on the price can be said to have brought the arrogance of the largest country to the extreme.

Faced with Lee Iacocca's sky-high asking prices, the Audi 100 vehicle production line can also match the Chrysler engine, which is not only technologically advanced but also cheaper.

FAW decided to change direction and cooperate with Audi, so Chrysler's Dodge 600 production line fell into its hands.

Knowing that something had happened, Lee Iacocca hurriedly flew to the mainland to remedy the situation and reduced the price of the Dodge 600 production line to a symbolic $1.

Unfortunately it's too late.

FAW is very angry at the company for going back on its word. It feels like Japan and Benche did in the past few years. They will try to trick you every chance they get. Think about the tuition fees they paid when cooperating with Japan and Benche in the past.

FAW doesn't dare to take over Chrysler's Dodge 600 production line. One dollar seems cheap and free, but anyone who knows the business knows that free things are the most expensive.

In addition, he had a great time talking to the public and directly rejected Lee Iacocca, causing Chrysler to lose the best opportunity to enter the mainland.
