Fang Shanhai looked at the drawing in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more confident he became, because the various data marked on this drawing were so clear. What he had to do was very simple, as long as he removed the car from the drawing.

Just turn it into reality.

Moreover, there are several departments that will cooperate with me, so it should not be troublesome at all to do this kind of work.

The chassis design of the car will be handled by Mr. Liu Changshan. This old man is good at the chassis design of such trucks and large vehicles. Jin Xiaoqiang also bought several large trucks produced by Wanguo for him to explore, so he developed the

The chassis of the new truck should not be a problem.

The research and development work of those two large diesel engines was handed over to Mr. Liu Hong. This old man himself specializes in the research and development of such large diesel engines. He already has his own set of methods for large diesel engines. Now with the addition of gold...

Based on the detailed drawings Xiaoqiang gave him, I believe it won’t take long to produce these two diesel engines.

As for the electronic configuration of the truck, it was left to Liu Xiaoliang. The electronic configuration of American trucks is quite rich, and many electronic configurations help drivers conveniently control and drive the vehicle.

But in China, due to cost savings, many things that originally require electronic control are completed by human operations. Therefore, the complicated electronic configuration on American trucks is not needed on this truck, which will reduce the cost.

It will also save a lot of R&D costs. Liu Xiaoliang and his team of electronic engineers can easily handle such an uncomplicated electronic configuration.

And what Fang Shanhai needs to do is how to make the truck on the drawing into reality!

His main job is actually modeling, inputting data, and then leaving the rest of the work to electronic robots for processing.

This is a training-style job that allows him to become proficient in the business at hand as quickly as possible. For such a job, Fang Shanhai is quite confident. He believes that as long as he is serious, he can get the job done quickly.

Fang Shanhai studied the drawing carefully several times, and after he had it in his mind, he was as confident as Jin Xiaoqiang that there would be no problem, and Jin Xiaoqiang was also very relieved to hand over this job to him.

Fang Shanhai flew back to Guangzhou that day to deal with his work relationship. It is estimated that he can arrive in Nanyang as soon as next week to join his new job.

It's time for Jin Xiaoqiang to leave for the United States. The Detroit Auto Show will be held the day after tomorrow, but his first stop after arriving in the United States is not Detroit, but New York.

He is going to his Thunderbird company to take a look. Although he has not been personally at Thunderbird in the past six months, several senior executives in the company have often kept in touch with him through video conferences. In addition,

There is also Alice in the company who serves as a supervisor for him, so Jin Xiaoqiang is also familiar with the operation of Thunderbird Company.

It can be said that Thunderbird has maintained an unusually low profile in the past six months, and has not been as sharp as they have been in the oil futures market. In this era of massive information, such a low-key company will soon be

It was forgotten by people.

Although the company's name is not as popular as it was in the oil market some time ago, such a situation of quietly making a fortune is exactly what Jin Xiaoqiang hopes to see.

As long as you can eat meat, there is no need to be so showy.

In the past few months, Thunderbird has been quietly making plans in the natural gas futures market. Every week, a sum of funds is quietly invested in the natural gas futures market. They have made a large number of long orders on natural gas futures.

However, due to the natural gas futures market itself, Thunderbird's actions here did not attract too much attention from others.

After all, the U.S. economy is performing very well these days. In the U.S. stock and futures markets, there are really too many stocks and things worth paying attention to.

Although the U.S. government has carried out extensive intervention in oil prices in the past six months, the price of oil futures has begun to rise quietly after consolidating in the initial suppression stage.

The economic rise of China has placed a large demand for oil, coupled with various unstable factors that have always existed in the Middle East, as well as the natural disaster suffered by the United States, so the current price of world oil futures has been very strong.

Although there was not as fierce a rise as when the United States was hit by hurricanes, the rise of tens of cents a day still made the price of oil futures climb to unimaginable highs.

The attention of most investors and speculators in the world has also been attracted by the price of oil futures. After all, compared with natural gas, the oil futures market is larger, and the demand for funds there is also greater, so

Under the mutual attention of many forces, the attention of many investors has also been attracted by the oil market.

Many people have not noticed that the price of natural gas has almost doubled during this period...

Natural gas has many users in the United States and has a very solid mass base. Many companies use natural gas as fuel energy for their own business operations and processing.

Since the United States was hit by the hurricane, almost 90% of the offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico have been destroyed or damaged. Although the U.S. government and major companies have invested a lot of manpower and material resources to restore production after the disaster.

.

However, until the end of the year, only 71.6% of the drilling platforms in Mexico had recovered, and 37% of the gas wells were still closed at this time.

This caused the price of natural gas to skyrocket from $6.95 per cubic foot before the disaster began to $14.08 per cubic foot.

In fact, as early as after the Hurricane Katrina disaster, natural gas prices in the United States began to rise quietly. However, because it was still summer, only some small energy companies used natural gas at that time. Therefore, in response to the increase in natural gas prices, the United States

of people said they were not under much pressure.

However, when winter comes, as people's demand for heating increases, many households that originally used natural gas as their main heating energy suddenly discovered that the price of natural gas has nearly doubled from that in summer.

But at this time, it was too late to think about making any adjustments. Using wood for heating requires purchasing a stove, which is unhygienic and unsafe. In addition, you also need to pay for the additional cost of purchasing a stove and modifying the flue.

Therefore, after several comparisons, most American families can only choose to grit their teeth and silently endure this increase in natural gas prices.

While the American people are enduring the rise in natural gas prices, many companies that originally operated natural gas are suffering huge losses. Lyondell in Houston is one of the largest chemical foam factories in the United States. They had to lay off more than 300 people.

In response to the natural gas price increase crisis, CMS, Michigan's largest natural gas company, directly announced a loss of US$270 million...

Of course, these companies are just representatives of the victims who have been affected by the natural gas energy crisis. While these companies have announced layoffs or losses, in the natural gas futures market, Thunderbird Company has once again

It's about making a splash and making a lot of money.

At that time, they made a huge profit of 1.8 billion U.S. dollars in the oil market and the U.S. index after Hurricane Katrina, plus 2 billion U.S. dollars in loans from banks and 1 billion U.S. dollars borrowed from GM.

They have a total capital of 4.8 billion in their hands.

In the following months, under the operation of Brian and Huang Guotao, these funds were gradually invested in the natural gas futures market and lurked.

When winter came, American consumers suddenly discovered that the natural gas they needed had risen to a high of fourteen dollars. In the futures market, the futures price of natural gas in December had also increased from the original price of 30 US dollars per contract.

The U.S. dollar has risen to anywhere from thirty-five dollars.

Because of market demand, as well as the coming of Christmas and New Year's Day, investors in the natural gas market believe that the price of natural gas will continue to rise until the end of this winter, so an even more crazy scene of drumming and passing flowers begins.

.

Because he was faced with the pressure of repaying the two billion US dollars loaned out from the bank, Jin Xiaoqiang had to ask Brian to withdraw part of the funds from the natural gas market to repay the bank's loan and interest, and redeem the mortgage with them.

Google stock.

During this period, the 4.8 billion they invested in the natural gas market has earned them almost 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, and their total amount of funds has quietly climbed to more than 6 billion.

This includes the bank's two billion and GM's one billion, as well as their interest and dividends. The rest is their own. In other words, Thunderbird has helped Jin Xiaoqiang to buy futures from the United States.

Three billion in profits were made in the market.

According to Jin Xiaoqiang's estimation, this feast should end quietly. After all, Thunderbird Company has made the biggest profit, and the bones left after eating the meat should be left for others to chew on, otherwise it will cause public outrage.

That's not good.

And this is not the last feast. There will be an even bigger gluttonous feast waiting for him in June and July this year, so there is no need to worry about such a small profit now.

Now is the time to squeeze the capital bubble of his company. He no longer wants to use the bank's funds. The blood-sucking ability of these guys is really terrifying.
