“What?”
Everyone present was stunned by Wang Yu’s words.
Especially the people from their own car factory, who all looked helpless.
Little factory director, we know we’re very capable, but why do you have to say it directly in front of the foreigners? You’re just letting them be on guard!
Wu Lingling also glared fiercely at Wang Yu, her eyes clearly conveying, "Why did you blurt it out directly, you idiot?"
Even Zhao Guozhu, Xia Ping, and their subordinates looked speechless, feeling that the sense of gratitude and confidence that had just appeared instantly vanished. This guy… seems a bit unreliable? Those are guys from Sam country, and a single hair plucked from their thigh is thicker than this young fellow’s waist! You dare to speak so arrogantly about fleecing them? What kind of courage and confidence does that take? And you actually said it so directly… is there a need to be so high-profile? Afraid they wouldn’t know?
“Just you? This… colorful monkey?” Smith burst into wild laughter, though some unsavory words were automatically filtered out by Wang Yu’s ears. Pointing at Wang Yu, he made a very impolite gesture, his eyes fully conveying what it meant to disdain someone. It was hard to imagine how such a large, bearded man whose face was half-covered could display such an irritating expression.
“It’s me, and I want to tell you very formally, if I make money, I’ll make your money, and I’ll make a lot of it!” Wang Yu said calmly to Smith, speaking slowly.
“Make our money? Haha, how laughable! Do you think your little bit of cleverness can do anything to us? I’ll be waiting for you! We have plenty of Sam coins, it depends on whether you have the ability to earn them!” Smith taunted Wang Yu, then his gaze shifted to Zhao Guozhu, who now stood up, clearly unwilling to kneel and bark like a dog.
“You’d better think carefully, being acquired by us is your best option now. I’ll give you three days to consider whether you want to be a dog for our Sam country. You know where to find me.” With that, he left arrogantly, not paying anyone any mind.
“Little factory director?” Han Jun spoke to Wang Yu.
“What? You don’t have confidence in me either? Believe it or not, I’ll soon have these bastards bowing their heads obediently?” Wang Yu asked with a smile, turning his head.
“No, I mean, let’s find someone to stuff him in a sack, bash him on the head, and then tie him to a tree and splash him with cold water!”
“Get lost! Stop learning those crooked ways from Brother Hu! Also… tell that scoundrel Brother Hu to come over later, I have important matters to arrange. Where has he been all day?” Wang Yu gave Han Jun a kick in annoyance, and after giving a few instructions, he turned to look at Zhao Guozhu.
“You… are you really willing to help me?” Zhao Guozhu spoke slowly, without his previous arrogance. No one noticed, except Wang Yu, that he asked about willingness, not ability.
“I dislike that guy more than you,” Wang Yu pouted. “We can discuss the funding issue later. As for the engine problem, you just need to wait a little. In at most two days, there will be news, and then you’ll know.”
…
In fact, it didn’t even take two days. After only half a day, sensational news had spread throughout the country, circulating widely among major automobile and machinery companies. To resist the monopoly of engines from He Dao, 39 large car manufacturers and machinery companies had jointly formed an organization called the Yuan Engine Association, supplying engines nationwide. It was worth noting that these engines were domestically developed and independently researched products, provided by a mysterious person who wished to remain anonymous. This new series of domestically produced engines, from large to small, was comprehensive in variety and lineage, basically perfectly meeting the mainstream market demand. Not only that, but in terms of performance and fuel consumption, they far surpassed their counterparts from He Dao’s products. Most crucially, the price was only half that of He Dao! That’s right, Wang Yu had offered them at one-third the price of He Dao, but after a few layers of intermediaries, it became half. These second-hand dealers were making a killing in profit, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so subservient to Wang Yu back then…
This news immediately set the entire national market ablaze. What a joke! Everyone knew what kind of engines were produced domestically. If they were really that good, the market wouldn’t have been monopolized by He Dao. Could this be a lie concocted by those big manufacturers to cut leeks? When the news first broke, many small businesses expressed disbelief. It was too contrary to their understanding. He Dao cut off engine supply, and you have stock? And you’re specifically calling us to inform us? Since when have you been so kind-hearted? And a mysterious person who doesn’t want to reveal their name? Do we have such capable people in our country? If you said that your big manufacturers had spent a lot of manpower and material resources, forming a joint research team to develop it, it would sound more plausible! Therefore, most people who received this news reacted with utter disdain, thinking, "You want to trick us? It's not that simple!"
However, among those who received this news, some expressed belief or willingness to try, such as Zhao Guozhu and his group. After receiving the news, Zhao Guozhu was stunned for a long time before slowly saying, “The so-called mysterious person in that news, isn’t it likely Wang Yu?”
“Wang Yu? Does that guy have that kind of ability?” Xia Ping asked incredulously, his face completely filled with disbelief and unwillingness.
“Brother-in-law, should we place our hopes on him?”
“No!”
“Ah? Then why are we still…”
“But we have no other choice! Anyway, let’s go and see first. If it doesn’t work out, we can go and bow down to the guys from Sam country.”
“Oh! Actually, brother-in-law, I think defecting to Sam country isn’t a bad thing,” Xia Ping said thoughtfully.
“What do you know? Just make the arrangements first,” Zhao Guozhu waved his hand authoritatively, ending the conversation.
…
In a small but exquisite conference hall in He Dao, dozens of people sat facing each other. They were all from He Dao’s largest engine manufacturers, Sanyuan and Igarashi. The two leading figures exchanged glances, seeing shock and confusion in each other’s eyes.
“You’re saying they’ve developed their own engines?”
“And they’re actively promoting them worldwide, trying to poach our customers?”
“That’s right. According to reliable internal information, these engines were leaked from Wang Yu.” A subordinate, acting as a messenger, replied helplessly.
“And Wang Yu also said…”
“Said what?”
“He said he doesn’t make money from others, he just wants to make money from our He Dao!”
