Chapter 70     50 USD

Mercedes-Benz w116 is the first luxury model of Mercedes-Benz from 1972 to 1978. Li Wenkai just learned from the engine's factory date and the factory nameplate in the cab that this Mercedes-Benz w116    450    Se is the latest model produced in the fall of 1978 last year. It is equipped with a 4.5-liter V8 engine with a maximum power of 225 horsepower (165kw)/5000rpm and a maximum torque of 378n·m/3000rpm.

With some new cutting-edge technologies, only the manufacturer's maintenance personnel know this. Only Li Wenkai, a person who has been here since 2020, can understand it. Not to mention domestic or foreign, professional maintenance personnel who are not manufacturers cannot handle it.

"Master Li, if foreign capital contributes, how much will you charge?" Huang Chenghai asked.

Li Wenkai stretched out five fingers and replied, "50, USD."

Last year, in 1978, the average exchange rate between rmb and the US dollar was 1.72,50 US dollars, which is about 86 rmb.

Originally, Li Wenkai wanted to kill more, but later he thought about it carefully that the other party was foreign capital, and this time he went to China to discuss cooperation with the country, so he should not take it too obvious, for fear of affecting cooperation.

$50 isn't expensive either.

"So expensive!" The 50 US dollars, which Li Wenkai's opinion is not expensive, is a sky-high price in Huang Chenghai's eyes, and it is a rare US dollar foreign exchange.

This is very important.

Now every minute of foreign exchange is a treasure.

"Uncle, don't be amazed here. Call the foreign capital here and I'll talk to him. This time, I have to pay in US dollars." The US dollar can now sell some scarce goods in some specific stores, which is of great use.

A rare opportunity.

"I have some things to talk to the other party, and ask uncle to call them over." Li Wenkai said.

It's useless to tell you, and you can't make a decision.

"Okay." Huang Chenghai responded when he heard Li Wenkai's request and immediately sent someone to the Yanjing Hotel to call the other party over.

Things finally got a little nervous, and Huang Chenghai felt a little more at ease. Besides, if you don’t have to pay for your own unit, you will be too light.

For the first time, Huang Chenghai felt that this winter was not so cold, and he also liked his son Huang Hongye.

"Uncle, this is just a foreign-funded car, there is no need to pay for them." Li Wenkai persuaded.

"Okay, as long as the other party agrees, I have no objection, but Master Li, you can't go too far. You have to consider the friendship between the two parties and think about problems from a higher level, and you can't just fall into the eyes of money." Huang Chenghai said with a lesson.

"I have already made concessions. If I hadn't considered that it was foreign capital, if it were someone else, it would have been this price." Li Wenkai said.

Huang Hongye stood aside and said, "Dad, just listen to Brother Kai. If the foreigner's own car, don't act as a good person. People won't miss your good people."

"Yes" Anyway, it's best not to pay for your own unit, so I'm just happy.

If a foreigner dies, I will not die.

In less than half an hour, a white middle-aged man who was speaking English came with a translator.

The translation is from a certain agency. It is a young girl of 25 or 26 years old, wearing a brand new and fashionable cotton coat, a pair of black women's sloping leather shoes, and a head of short hair that is close to the ears.

He looked very spiritual, with big eyes looking at Li Wenkai.

"Hello, I am the temporary translator of Cris, my name is Yang Qiuyan." The translator stretched out his hand and said to Li Wenkai.

"Li Wenkai" Li Wenkai also reached out and shook with the other party.

"Translator Yang, I can repair the car. Tell him that a fault costs $50 and it will be delivered tomorrow." Li Wenkai said to the young translator.

The translation translated Li Wenkai's meaning to a foreign white man.

The translator talked to a middle-aged white man there for a while. Yang Qiuyan looked at Li Wenkai and said, "Mr. Crys is very curious. What does the fault mean when you say $50? Also, he doesn't believe in you very much. This is a new car I just bought last year. How could anyone repair it in China?"

"What I mean is that the car cannot start the fault now, and it will cost 50 US dollars to solve. You tell him that it is nothing great. As long as he pays, I will definitely drive the car in front of him tomorrow morning, but I will pay the money first and then repair the car." Li Wenkai said.

The reason why Li Wenkai collected money first was that he was afraid of some unexpected situations later.

When the car is repaired, if the leader above speaks to let his leader Lin Hongyuan be free in the name of influencing investment promotion, he will be in vain.

Take the money first. As long as you get the money, you can’t let yourself take it out again. As long as you get it in your pocket, you want to spit it out, and you want to be beautiful.

The other party was also anxious. The car broke down and the country could be behind. It seems that no one has repaired such a high-end car. What should I do when I go back in the future?

You can't drag it back, right?

$50, not a lot.

The other party also knew the current national conditions of China and knew that Li Wenkai could not escape, so he simply paid for it.

"Trade!" Li Wenkai smiled and bounced it, looking at Huang Hongye's father, and said, "Director Huang, please pull the car to our repair shop."

When Huang Chenghai heard this, he said in confusion: "Why, can't you practice here?"

After saying that, he saw the masters from the repair workshop of the steel rolling mill looking at him.

"Hehe, isn't this inconvenient? Please trouble you." Everyone understands. This technique must be kept confidential and cannot be learned by outsiders.

This is my future money-making technology, and this company has no semicolon.

"Stingy." Huang Chengye pointed at Li Wenkai and said, then sent someone to hold the car to No. 26 Chaoyangmen South Street.

Originally, he wanted Li Wenkai to repair it in the factory to see if these masters in the factory could observe it. Now that he heard Li Wenkai say this, his hope was dashed.

There is no way to do this. The maintenance technology of this new imported car is the most cutting-edge high-tech. Its real ability will not be allowed to be observed by anyone else. Unless it is his own direct disciple, others cannot see it.

At the same time, Huang Chenghai was also puzzled in his heart. How could Li Wenkai understand these cutting-edge technologies before he went abroad?

But it's nothing to do with me, and I'm too lazy to care about it.

This great Buddha must be well offered to him, but he will ask for it in the future. Fortunately, it is his brother, and it seems that the relationship between them is quite good.

After paying, the white foreign-funded man also left.

The next day we will continue to discuss specific matters of the joint venture.

Li Wenkai and Huang Hongye followed the liberation of the steel rolling mill and led Dafeng to No. 26 Chaoyangmen South Street, Hongxing Machinery Factory.

"There is nothing good to look at." Li Wenkai said, then took out 5 yuan from his pocket to explain to Huang Hongye and said, "This is the kickback for you, and I will collect it." This was what I promised before, and I can't ignore it.

"Brother, I don't know if this job is successful or not. This is not appropriate. I can give it to you tomorrow, so there is no hurry." Huang Hongye shunned him when he saw Li Wenkai passing the kickback money to him first.

"It's nothing to hold it, just put your heart in your stomach. This is a three-finger pinch snail, hold it firmly." Li Wenkai probably knew the car's fault and said confidently: "I can't go to the dance tonight." Li Wenkai looked at Huang Hongye and said.

Huang Hongye knew that Li Wenkai was going to repair the car tonight, so he said, "Okay." Huang Hongye was excited and took the 5 yuan handed over by Li Wenkai and said happily: "Since it is foreigner's money, let's take it, haha, this is the real foreign dollar." He was happier than making 100 yuan.

"I can't give this $50 bill to you. This is scarce foreign exchange. You can buy some scarce things in some specific stores." Li Wenkai said.

Huang Hongye knew that Li Wenkai would repair the car next time. It was not convenient for him to be present, even an outsider, so he followed the convoy back.

Huang Hongye returned to his unit and the seven masters from the repair workshop came over.

"Huang Hongye, please do something?" A master came over to Huang Hongye in embarrassment and asked.

"Master Wang, if you say you want to see my brother repair the car, then you should not speak up. If you put this matter aside, will you let others see it? No?" He is dedicated to nothing, either a traitor or a thief. How can Huang Hongye not know what this person is holding back? "You can't be too selfish and want to steal your skills. Let's die." Huang Hongye has never been as comfortable as he is today.

In the past, these people were in the factory, and those who were awesome were not good at it. Now, compared with their brothers, they only knew how to repair some big trucks and leap forward. Their brothers built the imported German sedan, the new Daemon.
