"There should be no room for lowering the price. Lawson made it clear to me that last time the Laisuo factory was sold, the local companies in Spur jointly lowered the price, which cost them a lot of relief funds. So this time they learned their lesson and contacted many foreign countries.

The company only wants to sell these military shipyards that are about to go bankrupt as soon as possible, so as time goes on, the price will only get higher."

Ed reminded Xia Yang.

"I understand. I will talk to Mr. Lawson when the time comes. It's only 160 million. The profit from selling a thousand Paoxiao heavy-duty trucks this time is not enough."

Xia Yang has a little headache.

Ed hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about we increase the production quantity of the Pawler heavy-duty truck a little more? We sold a thousand units at two truck shows. The market is very promising. We plan to only produce five thousand units a year."

Isn’t it too little?”

Yes, Xia Yang had no plans at all and started the production of Paxiao heavy-duty trucks. The plan was to produce only 5,000 units per year.

After all, the top luxury line of the Pavilion heavy truck is the same as the Bugatti supercar. Only a few hundred units are produced each year, which makes the market hungry and highlights the preciousness and rarity of the product. At the same time, it makes the factory not focus on production efficiency but focus on research and development.

, in order to make the product always the best.

The more than 1,500 people Aide recruited last time were all R&D talents, not any ordinary workers.

"No, just follow the plan. We will only produce 5,000 heavy-duty trucks every year."

After thinking about it, Xia Yang still cruelly rejected Ed's suggestion.

After all, things are rare and valuable. If too many heavy-duty trucks are produced, the top-end luxury brand will be ruined. Moreover, the production plan has been set, so the production line load and workers have been arranged. Once the number of Xiaoxiao trucks is increased,

The production of heavy trucks will inevitably require more manpower.

This is the last thing Xia Yang wants to see, because the labor costs in Spur are much higher than in China.

He really couldn't afford it, which was why he did not hesitate to invest a large amount of money to let Ed develop technology. He was trying his best to reduce and replace manpower as much as possible.

"However, if we produce 5,000 Paxiao heavy-duty trucks every year, we will earn at least 500 million in profit. Spending 160 million to acquire the shipyard is not a big pressure. I will talk to Lawson and try to pay in installments, which will be easier."

Xia Yang originally said it with a relaxed smile, but when he saw Ed's expression, his heart suddenly rose again.

really.

Ed smiled and said, "Mr.

Part of it requires an investment of 50 million. By the way, plus the steam turbines used by the ships, I plan to formally establish a power department, purchase some steam turbine technologies, and conduct research and development on the basis of these technologies to save time. This part requires an investment of 50 million yuan.

Billions of dollars."

Knowing that Xia Yang was anxious, Ed quickly added, "But I've almost earned you back Mr. Xia's money. During your absence, I received a lot of orders for police bulletproof vehicles, most of which were from labor."

According to Sen, there are a total of two hundred police bulletproof vehicles. In addition, they have also received an order for military armored vehicles. This order is a bit troublesome. In addition to developing and producing prototype vehicles in accordance with the requirements of the military ministry for testing and bidding,

In addition, it also requires me to change my nationality, so I want to ask your opinion."

Naturally, when it comes to orders for the production of military products, companies run by locals are more secure.

Xia Yang temporarily put aside his resentment about Ed's lavish spending and asked, respecting Ed's own thoughts, "What do you think?"

Ed smiled and said, "What ideas do I have? I just want to make machinery."

Yes, he is worthy of being the chief designer of a space battleship. He just wants to make machinery.

"In this case, whatever you want, I have no objection at all."

Xia Yang lets Ed choose whatever he wants.

"Okay, I will change my nationality as soon as possible and bid for military armored vehicle orders."

Ed said happily.

Austria belongs to the Commonwealth, so changing nationality is easy, not to mention talented people like Ed who master cutting-edge technology like turbofan engines.

"Are you sure?"

Xia Yang asked, after all, it is necessary to develop and produce armored vehicles in accordance with the technical requirements of the military department, and then test and bid with other companies. Therefore, once the bidding fails, the investment in research and development funds will be wasted. Of course, there is still some research and development left.

technology.

After thinking about it, Ed said confidently, "I'm fifty percent sure."

Xia Yang knew what Ed meant. Based on the products alone, he was 100% confident, but the remaining 50% was not sure. He was afraid that the military would exclude private companies and would favor public companies in the capital.

"Old rules, you just focus on technical production, I'll go talk to Lawson."

"By the way, you'd better go there again in two days."

Ed blinked at Xia Yang.

Xia Yang was happy inside.

The worker ant giant truck is about to be produced, and another product is about to start making money.

…

Ed guessed wrong. Congressman Lawson did not go to Xia Yang to sell the shipyard at night, but went directly to Li Ao Building in the afternoon when there was no rush.

Obviously, the capital of Spur is working hard to sell the shipyard as soon as possible and save some relief funds.

So Xia Yang returned to the office from Laisuo Factory. Lawson and an elegant and beautiful woman were already sitting on the sofa. Blanche was carefully preparing Geisha coffee to entertain the two of them.

Judging from the intimacy between the three of them, there is no need to guess that the elegant woman is Blanche's painter mother Tessa.

Tessa is not particularly beautiful. Apparently Blanche inherited most of her beauty from the handsome Congressman Lawson.

It's just that Tessa has a unique temperament, intellectual elegance, and you can tell at a glance that she is an artistic and well-educated woman, which makes people ignore her appearance and be impressed by her temperament.

"Xia Yang, you are finally back, I miss you so much!"

When he saw Xia Yang, Lawson was so enthusiastic that he gave him a bear hug.

"Missing you makes me have a premonition that my money will fly away again."

After hugging and letting go of Lawson, Xia Yang made a little joke.

Suddenly the four of them started laughing.

Lawson formally introduced his wife Tessa to Xia Yang.

"Madam, when I see you, I finally understand why Lan Qi is as beautiful as an angel!"

With Blanche blushing a little, Xia Yang praised Mrs. Tessa.

Tessa's eyes narrowed in laughter, adding to her beauty and charm!

Lawson was immediately unhappy and said with a straight face, "Mr. Xia Yang, I seriously remind you that you said the opposite."

Xia Yang blinked and his eyes fell on the wedding ring on Lawson's hand, "Mr. Lawson, if you think I'm contrary to what I said, I don't mind wearing the ring on your hand at all."

This is a symbol of Tessa's husband and proof of his possession of her.

Lawson subconsciously protected the ring on his hand and stared helplessly at Xia Yang.

Tessa and Blanche both giggled.

"Xia Yang, don't tease Lawson, he is actually very cautious."

Tessa also made a joke.

Not afraid at all, I touched the head of the alien furry tiger.

Because the aliens grew bigger and bigger, and their thick and muscular appearance was very scary. Xia Yang was worried that it would scare Susan and the others, so he specially ordered the aliens to pretend to be gentle and well-behaved.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]

So the alien now has a low-browed appearance, the fierce glare of the tiger eyes has become less, and the feeling of fear has been reduced a lot. Of course, this is an alien and it is not too big now. When it grows to two or three meters long, no matter how it is disguised,

No matter how low his eyebrows are, his huge and heavy tiger body is frightening and frightening.

Tessa's little joke made the four of them laugh again.

A little joke was made, and the atmosphere between the two parties became even more harmonious.

"Xia Yang, sit here with me."

Tessa smiled and pulled Xia Yang to sit next to her. Her soft hands made people feel like they were surrounded by gentleness.

Obviously Tessa, who is not particularly beautiful in appearance, was able to win over the handsome guy Lawson, not just because of her temperament and talent.
