"Because... I represent advanced technology!"
"If you and Wa Island feel that I'm boasting, you are welcome to have your experts and scholars come and exchange knowledge."
As soon as Wang Yu finished speaking, his words immediately drew a round of cheers from the crowd. His words were so inspiring!
What do you mean our country's technology is not good enough? Our little factory director is advanced technology!
What? Wa Island, you're not convinced? You're the second best in the world? Then you're welcome to challenge us!
Everyone cheered, a strong sense of pride filling the air.
Especially Wang Yu's words about not joining other countries' nationalities. They were living well in their own country, so why would they change their nationality?
Denying their ancestors!
They would not comment on the actions of others, as that was a matter of personal will and freedom. However, Wang Yu himself would absolutely never join another country's nationality.
Since his rebirth, Wang Yu had disliked many places.
For example, he disliked the Ice Bear Kingdom. He disliked Andrei Makarov and the like for selling him large quantities of advanced equipment at ridiculously low prices, almost as cheap as cabbage, and for doing various OEM manufacturing at prices far below market value, which allowed Wang Yu's car factory to save at least 70% of its costs and contributed a large amount of foreign exchange to Jiangyang County.
He also disliked Dongma Country, because Lin Wen and his colleagues had unceremoniously given them the quota for 500 bid vehicles. They had also requested them to jointly produce truck-mounted cranes, excavators, road rollers, and a series of other engineering equipment. This forced Wang Yu to stay up late drawing blueprints, then developing production lines and creating a batch of new jobs for Jiangyang County, while also earning a considerable profit.
He also disliked Dongyou Country. The reason was that Anlu and other immensely wealthy patrons who directly negotiated no price were the ones who secured the distribution rights. The initial bulk order of 5,000 vehicles, along with a large number of orders for various small household appliances, including 20,000 portable music players, meant that their own workshops had to work overtime for a long time. Besides earning several hundred million, they also had to pay a lot of overtime pay to the workers, and contribute a large number to Jiangyang County's GDP, making Secretary Yang happy.
He disliked Wa Island even more... well, there was no reason.
Therefore, Wang Yu directly and unequivocally chose to refuse. However, his refusal did not seem to surprise President Watanabe at all; he remained gentle and polite.
It had to be said that in this regard, one had to admire the cultivation and composure of the people from Wa Island. The same was true for Supervisor Yamazaki last time. Although he probably wanted to kill Wang Yu, he still maintained his politeness and calmness.
Looking around at his subordinates, Wang Yu truly couldn't find anyone with such a capability... perhaps Liu Lu had the potential to be cultivated!
"Mr. Wang, you should think carefully. I am coming with absolute sincerity. If you refuse me directly..."
Before Watanabe could finish speaking, he was met with a series of boos and curses from the car factory employees behind Wang Yu.
"Alright, they are guests from afar, don't be rude!"
Wang Yu raised his hand to stop his subordinates and then saw Watanabe slowly continue to speak,
"If you refuse me directly this time, I won't be so polite and gentle next time."
"Oh? May I ask, Mr. Watanabe, how do you plan to be impolite to me?"
Wang Yu chuckled. Was this a shift from soft tactics to hard ones?
"It's very simple," Watanabe smiled and snapped his fingers.
"As far as I know, your country is almost a blank slate in the field of engine technology, isn't it?
More than 90% of your engines rely on imports, with more than 80% coming from Wa Island. The Sanyuan engines used in passenger cars, and the Igarashi engines used in trucks.
And unfortunately, our Dongbai Group holds 15% and 20% of the shares in Sanyuan and Igarashi respectively.
What's more important is that my recruitment of you is actually a decision made by the behind-the-scenes council of Wa Island. So if we increase the price of our engines or cut off supply..."
At this point, President Watanabe's tone slowly drew out, looking at Wang Yu with a look of absolute victory, his tone incredibly sinister and malicious,
"Do you think you can still say all this with such confidence?"
A threat! A blatant threat!
The word echoed in everyone's minds. These guys from Wa Island were standard threat-makers!
Who didn't know that the engines used in cars, ships, and even various construction machinery in their country were supplied by Wa Island?
After all, the technology for engines was currently only held by a few entities worldwide.
Let's not mention the big boss, Uncle Sam. They had already sanctioned their country for many years. It was more likely for pigs to fly than to expect supplies from them.
The Ice Bear Kingdom could also be skipped. These guys had already given up and were ready for a memorial service. And taking their goods also meant worrying about fake invoices.
Countries like Hans or Xilu on the West European continent were willing to supply, but their production was too low, and the prices were extremely expensive, failing to solve the problem effectively.
Therefore, Wa Island, the close neighbor with reliable and stable quality and relatively cheap prices, had become the best choice.
As a result, the engines in their country were indeed, as Watanabe said, 90% dependent on imports, and 80% of those were from Wa Island!
In other words, Wa Island could at any time cut off their country's engine supply, just like a certain major power in later generations cut off chip supplies!
"Heh heh, Mr. Watanabe, your threat might be very effective against others, but it's useless against me!"
Wang Yu smiled freely at this. He had already considered this the moment he was reborn.
That's why, from the very beginning, he had been busy integrating the engine production line and all the resources left by the former factory director. Although they could only produce miniature fuel engines at present, the existing technology and equipment were already mature and could be scaled up at any time to manufacture engines of greater power and scale!
Therefore, Watanabe's threat was completely useless to Wang Yu!
"I'm very sorry, I have designed and developed our own fuel engines, so I'm not worried about your supply cutoff!"
Wang Yu said with a smile. The people behind him from the car factory also laughed. The little factory director was indeed worthy of being Sun Wu reborn and Zhuge reincarnated, predicting things like a god!
All the seemingly disastrous moves from the past had, in fact, proven to be extremely far-sighted!
Now, the entire Jiangyang County Automobile Factory had formed its own micro-industry chain. Wang Yu's new industrial park covered a complete industrial chain from upstream to downstream, making it completely self-reliant and self-sufficient, fearing no sanctions or bottlenecks from anyone!
Wang Yu's smiling attitude was full of confidence.
However, Watanabe across from him remained unhurried, as if he had already won.
"You don't have to worry, but what about the other enterprises in your country?"
"If Wa Island completely cuts off engine supplies, will your country completely collapse?"
"What?"
