Four hundred and eighteenth chapter three years
The inspiration for this car was from the later Bugatti Veyron, a twelve-cylinder Bugatti Veyron engine. Ye Lin has conducted many experiments, from eight cylinders, to twelve cylinders, to now sixteen cylinders.
Unfortunately, this car cannot be driven out even if it is built, because it does not have an engine number and frame number, but these are not a problem. You can post a number, but you must build the appearance of the car if you post a number.
Besides, Ye Lin has no intention of taking out the car now because there is no need, and he is now studying it.
Because this is a brand new engine, it takes so much time. If it is just an engine that already exists, it will be a matter of minutes for Ye Lin.
So what Ye Lin is going to study now is some engines that do not have, and of course this is for preparation for the future.
Feeling that the time was almost over, Ye Lin came out of the space, put out all the refurbished cars, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then went to find Wang Hui for dinner.
In the blink of an eye, it was 1975, and it had been six years since Ye Lin came to the United States. From 1972 to 1975, Ye Lin did several major things in the past three years.
The first thing is that in 1973, Ye Lin acquired a bankrupt automobile factory. Because it had gone bankrupt, only the factory buildings and production equipment were left, so he bought it after spending 3,500 yuan.
The main reason is that this car factory is too small and the cars produced are not very good, so no one will acquire them at all, otherwise Ye Lin would not be able to wait for him.
To put it bluntly, as long as you have a little more famous, it is probably already acquired by other companies. Ye Lin acquired this automobile factory, of course, not to build a car.
In theory, why did you want to buy it if you don’t build a car? Ye Lin certainly has his own ideas. With this automobile factory, Ye Lin can buy equipment in the name of this automobile factory.
The Americans are very strict in equipment management. It doesn’t mean that you can buy it if you have money, it’s not the case at all.
Although Ye Lin already has an investment company and a department store, and the company's legal persons are all American, it is basically impossible to buy equipment in the name of these two companies.
Because these two companies do not need equipment, there is no way, Ye Lin could only ask Tom to buy the bankrupt car factory in the name of an investment company.
Instead, this car company bought a lot of car production lines and machine tools, and then slightly improved the cars produced by this car company, and then carried out production.
Ye Lin's slight improvement is a drastic change for automobiles. After a year of development, no one expected that this company that had gone bankrupt a year ago would come alive.
Not only that, because of its cheap price and good performance, it soon gained a foothold in the United States, a country with a developed automobile industry.
Ye Lin asked the car factory to launch two cars, a small family car and a pickup truck.
Moreover, Ye Lin priced the car 10,000 and the pickup truck 8,000. Although it is not necessarily good to have a low price, if the price is low and the performance is good, it would be a different matter.
By 1974, pickup trucks produced by automobile factories actually accounted for half of the United States. Of course, this is just pickup trucks.
Although many automobile companies in the United States produce pickup trucks, their pickup trucks are too expensive and their performance is not better than those produced by Ye Lin. Of course, they sell better.
Although cars are sold well, there are too many American auto companies and produce too many cars, so they account for at most one percent.
But this is already a great achievement. Don’t forget that it’s only been a year since Ye Lin bought this car factory just to get equipment, so after getting everything he should have, he was ready to sell the car factory.
After knowing that the car factory was going to be sold, General Motors and Ford came to the door. Because the two companies were competing fiercely, Ye Lin finally sold it for a good price.
It was sold to Ford for $800 million, including the car logo and engine technology, which means that the $800 million sold was sold.
Ye Lin knew that if he had been in a few years, he might have a higher price, and even said he would have a place in the US automobile industry.
But he didn't, because the competition for automobiles in the United States is too fierce. Unless Ye Lin launches a new model, these two models alone will still be eliminated after three to five years.
Ye Lin had no intention of staying in the United States. He had also thought about handing over the car factory to Nima and the others to take care of, but after thinking about it, he would just forget it.
With GM and Ford, they can only defeat these two companies unless they leave all their technology here, but in that case, what should domestic brands do?
Ye Lin’s technologies have to be taken back to China, and it is absolutely impossible to use them here. Even if you want to rebrand your car, you can only be in China.
Ye Lin did not keep any money from the car factory, and gave it to the investment company and Yikelong Department Store, with an investment company of 500 million and a department store of 300 million.
This money has directly brought investment companies and department stores to a new level, especially Longteng Investment Company, which can be ranked first on Wall Street.
There are very few people in this company, only one president and more than a dozen professionals, but no one on Wall Street dares to underestimate this company.
Although this company rarely invests, its positioning is very accurate every time it invests, and it does not invest in the stock market at all. It all invests in some companies that are just starting out or not even starting yet.
However, as long as the company invested in this company, the development momentum is particularly good. Let’s talk about the first company they invested in, Walmart Department Store.
Now Walmart has become one of the largest department stores in all rice, and it is in good development momentum.
Especially in the stock market, although Walmart's stock price is not very high, it is still around six US dollars. You should know that there is another 10-for-5 free of charge in the middle.
In other words, the stock price is not high, but the market value is high. At the beginning, it was six billion shares, one for ten to five, and that was nine billion shares.
This is also the reason why Ye Lin did not want to sell the 800 million yuan in the car factory, because Walmart's stock is now in the consolidation period, and Ye Lin sold the Walmart stock in his hand.
When he bought it, he had 400 million shares and when he sold it, he had 600 million shares. At six yuan per share, Ye Lin now has more than 3 billion US dollars in his hand. This money he was planning to bring back to China and would never move.
There is also the second investment of Longteng Investment, Motorola. No one expected that in the second year of Longteng Investment Company's investment, in 1973, Motorola really developed a mobile phone, which greatly increased Motorola's stock price.
Although it has not yet been released, it is already in the preparation stage. Everyone knows that Motorola's mobile phone will be released in a few years, and it will be another leap.
This is also the reason why no one dares to underestimate Longteng Investment Company. Of course, these are already listed, so it is not a secret.
What others don’t know is that Longteng Investment Company has also invested in some small companies.
Because these small companies are not well-known yet, and are even in the early stages, not even listed, no one knows about it.
When others find out in the future, they will probably be even more surprised! But this is all for the future.
After talking about Longteng Investment Company, the next one is Yikelong Department Store.
Because Ye Lin gave the money from selling the car factory to Yikelong Department Store 300 million yuan, and with Yikelong's own development, Yikelong Department Store also has a place in the United States.
Although it cannot be compared with Walmart, it has also entered the top ten in the retail industry. The most important thing is that Yikelong Department Store is not listed.
If it goes public, it will probably be a matter of minutes to surpass Walmart. Because of this, Luo Carrot has been looking for Ye Lin many times, but Ye Lin has not the same.
In terms of size or number of stores, Yikelong is not worse than Walmart, and its turnover is even stronger than Walmart.
At that time, Radish asked Ye Lin to talk about the market, and Ye Lin asked Radish, but Radish didn't continue to talk about it.
Ye Lin asked, in addition to popularity, does Yikelong make less money than Walmart?
Ye Lin is right. Yikelong does not make less money than Walmart, and it even has a lot more, because Walmart is a listed company and has to pay for antiques, which Yikelong does not need.
That's right, Yikelong's market value cannot be compared with Walmart, but that's just the market value, not the net assets. In terms of net assets, Yikelong is much higher.
None of these matters. What is important is that Ye Lin’s purpose is in China. Yes, Ye Lin sets the goal of Yikelong Department Store in China.
Walmart entered the country in 1996, and Ye Lin was preparing to enter the domestic market at the beginning of reform and opening up.
It is eighteen years ahead of Walmart. I guess when Walmart enters the country, there will be no place to stand! It is still a big deal to go in or not.
It doesn’t matter if you enter. If you don’t enter, Ye Lin immediately sold the shares in his hands. To be honest, Wal-Mart is nothing if it leaves China.
In order to enter the country, Ye Lin prepared a billion US dollars for Yikelong, which is a billion US dollars! According to the domestic living standard, what is the concept of this billion US dollars?
In developed countries like the United States, a billion US dollars may not be anything. Many companies have assets of more than one billion US dollars, but in China, a billion US dollars is definitely an astronomical figure.
There is also Ye Lin’s second-hand car market, and Ye Lin is also preparing to close it. All the money earned in the second-hand car market in recent years has been used by Ye Lin to sell machine tools and equipment.
Ye Lin now has machine tools and equipment worth hundreds of millions of yuan in the space, but each one is only one. As long as there are samples and templates, Ye Lin can make it by himself, why is it cost so much money to spend.
The machine tools and equipment sold to foreign countries are very expensive, but when bought in the United States, these things are very cheap. A set of seven-axis linkage machine tools is less than two million US dollars.
If this is sold abroad, you may not be sold to you, such as China.
