Chapter 487 Rolls-Royce Engine

The next morning, Wu Shaoting found Deng Keng and told him about discussing the car purchase with the Americans, and at the same time asked him to be responsible for the subsequent wrong talks. Deng Keng happily agreed. Since he negotiated with the Germans alone, his social ability has improved greatly, and he is even more happy to take over some important things.

Deng Keng was a little curious. He didn't know why Wu Shaoting had to buy so many cars at once. He asked with a heart-warming attitude: "Tingshuai, why do you have to buy so many cars at once? I heard foreigners comment that China's roads are underdeveloped and are not suitable for cars at all. Only big cities like Shanghai, Tianjin and Wuhan can barely run."

Wu Shaoting had no need to hide anything from his adjutant. He smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid you don't believe it when I say it. I plan to use these cars to convert them into armored combat vehicles."

Deng Keng was very surprised by this new term. He had heard of personnel carriers, but had never heard of armored vehicles. He opened his eyes wide and said strangely: "Armor... Combat Car? What is this?"

Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "Just like an armored ship, the armored vehicle has heavy armor, which serves as a recommendation and cover during army operations. But now I tell you that these are useless, and after we develop this technology, you will naturally see it at a glance."

Deng Keng asked again: "Shishou Ting, how could you have such a sudden idea?"

Wu Shaoting made up a reason casually and said: "In the era of cold weapons, there were shields and siege cars to cover the battlefield. Although the times have changed now, every charge on the battlefield is promoted with flesh and blood. If the soldiers have to hold guns in their hands, it is naturally impossible to take another heavy shield that can defend against bullets. If a chariot can be developed instead of the shield, wouldn't it greatly improve the combat efficiency of the charge?"

Deng Keng nodded suddenly and sighed: "So that's the case, Ting Shuai was still thoughtful."

Wu Shaoting gave up and ordered: "Let's do it for now. After two ***s, I'll go to Citibank to find Denzel to continue to talk, implement the contract as soon as possible, and let the Americans deliver the goods to me as soon as possible."

"I understand, I will definitely live up to the entrusted by Shuai Ting."

"In addition, you can arrange this afternoon and go with me to visit the British Consul Bolian. I will send someone to inform you in advance later. The British are so particular."

"I understand, but what did Ting Shuai do when he sees the British consul?" Deng Keng asked in confusion.

"Buy something from foreigners."

In the afternoon, I met Bolian at the Shamian Consortium as promised.

Although Bo Li'an is not close to Wu Shaoting on weekdays, as a diplomatic envoy on one side, it is necessary to establish certain connections with the Chinese local government. Even if they were unhappy in the past, they could always find opportunities to shake hands with each other in terms of political interests. Therefore, Bo Li'an was quite enthusiastic about Wu Shaoting's visit. He came from the office upstairs to greet the consulate's first-floor lobby. Who told him that Wu Shaoting was going to find British people to do business in the morning?

"I'm so happy to see you, respected General Wu. Seeing that your body has recovered well, I really want to praise God's care for you." Bolian was wearing a straight and fitted dress, and the white high-necked shirt set his neck high, so he had a condescending momentum when speaking.

"If God could really take care of me, I would not have been attacked by an explosion." Wu Shaoting said with a sarcastic smile.

"Haha, General Wu is really joking. Come on, please come upstairs." Boli looked indifferent and turned around and walked towards the stairs first.

Wu Shaoting and Deng Keng followed him. When they arrived at the second floor, Boli'an prepared a separate reception room and ordered his men to serve black tea and cookies.

After sitting down, Boli'an first chatted with Wu Shaoting about some trivial matters, and then the topic turned to the point. He asked, "I heard that General Wu made a special trip to discuss a business this time, I would like to hear about it."

Wu Shaoting nodded and said directly: "That's right. I just ordered some sedans from Americans recently. Unfortunately, the land surface in Guangdong Province is not very convenient. American sedans have too little horsepower, so I'm afraid that some slightly steep hills will not be able to climb up. This is not the result I want to see."

Bo Li'an thoughtfully, obviously did not understand what Wu Shaoting meant. American cars can no longer drive freely on Chinese roads, and British cars may not be able to do it. This is the result of many countries' analysis of the current situation in China. He asked slowly: "If this is the case, I can only say it is a pity. I don't know what kind of benefits I can help?"

Wu Shaoting then showed off: "I heard that the British Rolls-Royce company has produced a new engine. I want to purchase some such engines through the relationship of a consul and transform the car I bought from the United States, so that the car will be much more suitable for running."

Bolian frowned, still a little confused. He thought silently for a long time, but he didn't hear of what new engine Rolls-Royce recently produced. He sighed and said, "General Wu, please be honest, the impact caused by Chinese highways cannot be solved by simply replacing the engine. The terrain, tires and braking systems of the car are all directly testing the road conditions. If you really want to modify it, you are afraid that all changes will be made from beginning to end."

He paused and then said, "If General Wu wants a car suitable for driving in China, I think I can contact Rolls-Royce to tailor one for you. Of course, the price may be expensive."

Wu Shaoting picked up the black tea and took a sip, saying clearly: "I think Mr. Boli'an, you don't understand what I mean yet. Customization will never solve the situation where China needs motorcycles. I hope Guangdong can build the first domestic motorcycle, so you need to study your Western technology carefully."

When Bolian heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed: "So that's it. General Wu is indeed a very patriotic patriot. I admire it very much and admire it very much."

Although he said this on the surface, he felt a ridiculous in his heart: If I had known that you, Wu Shaoting, was a person who did big things, if I had said anything, I would have been wary of other aspects, but you would have developed motorcycles in China? Isn’t this a shame? If China’s motorcycle market had potential, the United Kingdom and the United States would have been involved long ago. The main premise of developing motorcycles in China is to improve and improve the highways. It is obviously impossible within ten or twenty years.

Wu Shaoting said: "Since I am the buyer, what I want to buy is naturally what I need. I wonder if Mr. Boli'an can complete this transaction?"
