Reborn Tycoon Rise

July 4th, this day, is the Independence Day of the United States. Some large cities across the United States also held some celebrations.

On the street, even though the Rolls-Royce has invincible power, it still queues up and moves forward slowly.

This is Xu Zhi’s first time riding in a luxury car like a Rolls-Royce. The entire interior is mainly made of gold and black. The overall interior uses a lot of classic embroidery. In addition to the good feel, it also adds interior decoration. It has a sense of luxury and the golden horizontal stripes are very high-profile. It’s not just the Chinese who love gold.

A burst of smoke hit Xu Zhi and he almost coughed out. Redding next to him smiled and said: "Eric, how about my Rolls-Royce? Are you interested in buying a few of them?"

Xu Zhi opened the window a little, took a breath of fresh air and said: "I have a Mercedes-Benz over there in Xiangjiang. This kind of high-profile car is not suitable for me, at least not for me now."

Redding said: "Eric, you said you are so rich, you don't smoke, you don't drink, and you don't like luxury cars. I really don't know why you make so much money?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Yeah, then have you ever thought about Rockefeller back then, what did he do for making so much money? Look at us people, in fact, the wealth we have now is enough for us to spend ten lifetimes, but Why are we still working hard to make money?”

Redding thought for a while, but still didn't know how to answer, and said: "I don't know, it's instinctive. We are so rich, what else can we do if we don't continue to make money?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "That makes sense!"

Redding put out the cigar in his hand and said, "Midea is already developing a new game in Xiangjiang. I wonder when it will be launched?"

"Your information channels are really well-informed!" Xu Zhidao said: "The game has just been developed, and it will probably take a few months. The game program we are developing now is much more playable than Xiangjiang Cube and Snake. , but it is also much more complicated, and programmers need to make sure all kinds of bugs are eliminated before they can prepare for launch.”

Redding said: "Okay, now the orders for Xiangjiang Cubes have begun to stabilize. Although they have been queued for half a year, I have interviewed many people who play games, and they all say that Xiangjiang Cubes are suitable for killing time, rather than playing with coins. "

Xiangjiang Cube is very playable, but it is really not suitable for the coin-operated mode of arcade. And as players become familiar with the game rules and improve their game level, the playable time of each game increases significantly.

But this will seriously affect the interests of arcade buyers. They buy arcade machines not to spread fun games, but to make profits by selling more game coins. Therefore, to a certain extent, these bosses are not willing to buy new ones. You can usually just buy a few of the Xiangjiang Cube arcade machines. Compared with the Space Invaders at the same time, they are still far behind.

"This is a problem." Xu Zhi said: "But don't worry, our new game is much more fun than Space Invaders. We will definitely be able to monopolize this market by then."

"Haha, I hope!" Redding smiled and said: "Eric, last time you asked me to ask you about the refrigerator compressor, I found a company willing to sell it, but they didn't want to just sell it. Selling technology.”

Xu Zhi asked: "What do you mean?"

Redding explained: “I found a refrigeration company through an intermediary company that does industrial transactions. They promised to sell a complete set of refrigerator technology, but you must also buy the production line together.”

"A production line?" Xu Zhi frowned and asked, "Which company?"

Reading said: "York!"

"York?" Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment. He knew this company before. In the factory in his previous life, the refrigeration equipment used was York, and he had also checked this company.

York Air Conditioning was born in the 1870s and has a history of nearly a hundred years. At its peak, York was one of the four major air conditioning manufacturers in the United States. However, the century-old history has obviously not always maintained a huge market, because too many companies specialize in the industrial and construction markets, and the largest civilian market has almost been completely lost under the competition of emerging companies.

Even in the 21st century, a large number of York's refrigeration equipment are used in urban office buildings and suburban factories. However, they are not well-known because they are not in direct contact with the general public. However, its technology research and development in refrigeration should be very successful.

Lei Ding glanced at Xu Zhi's expression and asked, "Have you heard of this company?"

There was no need for Xu Zhi to lie. He nodded and said, "I have checked many refrigeration companies in the United States before, and I seem to have seen York."

Redding smiled and said: "Yes, this York is not as famous as companies like Siemens, General Electric, and Panasonic, but the information I checked also shows that this company is good, and I just learned that even my casino uses it. It is the refrigeration equipment of this company, so the technical aspects should be able to meet your requirements."

Xu Zhi asked: "This production line should be second-hand, right? How many years has it been used?"

Redding said: "In 1967, it seems that the production line came online around 1970. However, due to the economic crisis in the past few years, the market declined, RB companies started price wars again, and the employee unions were constantly making trouble, so York Company's The board of directors decided to close the plant."

"I see." Xu Zhi asked again: "Did the other party tell you what the price is?"

Redding said: "They quoted US$4 million. I looked at the information and found that York Company intends to sell the entire production line, including the compressor production line, outer panel pressing equipment, inner tank molding equipment, and subsequent assembly production lines. It seems It is very complete. If you buy it, you can directly produce it. Moreover, the equipment can be adjusted and can be used to produce refrigerators with different volumes, but there are certain limits on volume changes."

"Are they crazy? They want to sell a second-hand production line for US$4 million?" Although Xu Zhi was somewhat excited about a complete production line and could start production directly after buying it, the price was still too expensive. "

Redding said with a smile: "I don't understand the price aspect. You can discuss it yourself. I guess this York also regards you as a scapegoat."

Xu Zhi asked: "Is York Company planning to just close this factory, or is it planning to withdraw from the civilian refrigerator industry?"

Redding shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. Don't you just want to buy technology? What does it matter if their company never decides to withdraw from the market?"

"It's a big relationship!" Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Can you make an appointment with the senior management of their company for me? It would be better for us to negotiate face-to-face for this kind of deal."

Redding said: "Of course, if you agree, they will immediately send someone to Los Angeles to discuss the details with you."

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, I'll wait for them at the hotel."
