Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

American retired military vehicles, whether in the Middle East or mainland China, will definitely have a certain sales volume. The gap between rich and poor in the Middle East is very obvious, and the economy in China has not yet fully developed.

The Americans want Heiyun Group to be a second-tier dealer, and they want to come here to find sales for retired military vehicles. At this time, Bao Zixuan finally understood that the reason why the US Department of Defense had to let him come over was not to let Heiyun Automobile receive orders, but to let it solve the problem of decommissioned military vehicles.

This thing is not necessarily a good thing, but it is not that bad either. Even the retired military equipment of the United States is still the most advanced in many countries. This is the gap in strength. Although I don't want to admit it, it is the fact.

Mr. Bao is weighing the pros and cons. The Americans definitely want him to buy all the retired equipment. It's a big expense, and it can't be done without billions of dollars. It is estimated that this is the price that Americans feel. At this time, Heiyun Automobile does not have enough funds on its account to win such a large project, but it can find other countries to provide part of it.

Whether it is mainland China, or the Arab countries in the Middle East; or even Brazil, they will be interested in retired American military vehicles. The premise is that the price cannot be too expensive, otherwise it would be more cost-effective for people to buy a new car.

Bao Zixuan: "Heiyun Motors has four major manufacturing bases around the world. I still hope to sell new cars. The quality, quality, and degree of damage of second-hand equipment vary widely, and there will be endless troubles if I buy it back."

"And the release of so many second-hand cars on the market will have a huge impact on new car sales. It will seriously damage the interests of Heiyun Automobile dealers. I have to think about it in the long term."

After hearing what Bao Zixuan said, Ian Wright really didn't know how to refute. After all, from a business perspective, it still makes sense. But except for the young man in front of me, there is really no company or individual in the world that can buy all the retired military vehicles.

The Ministry of National Defense has previously considered selling the equipment directly to the military, but second-hand equipment needs repairs and parts replacement. The most important thing is that time is very urgent. The replacement of military vehicles must be completed within one year. No domestic car company could complete it, so Heiyun Motors and Bao Zixuan were chosen.

Most of the retired military vehicles are produced by the Jeep brand, and Heiyun Automobile has a natural advantage in this regard. There may be ready-made technical drawings in the database, which is very convenient for producing accessories.

In addition, Bao Zixuan has good cooperative relations with many third world countries, so car sales should not be a problem.

Direct sales by the U.S. military may have political purposes, but Black Cloud Auto does not have these problems. You definitely need to get cash to sell goods, but the countries where you buy second-hand equipment are not economically wealthy, so it is difficult to pay.

Many countries may exchange resources or land use rights; the U.S. military does not dare to purchase land from sovereign countries, as this will inevitably lead to misunderstanding. No sovereign country will allow such things to happen, so there will be no problem if the Black Cloud Group takes action.

The above are all things that the Department of Defense needs to consider. It is not that simple for the military to sell anything. After many considerations, the Ministry of National Defense decided to find Bao Zixuan. Although some benefits will be given away, it can be regarded as a once and for all solution.

Ian Wright: "What Mr. Bao said is not unreasonable, but this is also an opportunity. Even if it is a retired U.S. military vehicle, its performance and quality are absolutely guaranteed. Most of the retired military vehicles are produced by Jeep, and Heiyun Automobile Have complete technical information.”

"Whatever accessories are needed can be produced by ourselves. I believe that these retired military vehicles will definitely be able to exude a second spring in the hands of Heiyun Motors."

"Considering the after-sales service, and the fact that it is inconvenient for the US military to come forward for many things, I thought of Mr. Bao and Heiyun Group. This is also a mutually beneficial cooperation."

"I am just a pawn, and Minister Casper Weinberg needs to discuss the specific matters with you. You should not suffer any disadvantages if you gain the friendship of the US military."

What does this mean? It's a threat in disguise. It seems that it is difficult to change something in the American bones, even if you are super rich, you have to endure it.

After a while, a waitress came over and said, "Hello, Mr. Bao! Minister Weinberg would like to ask you to come over. I don't know if it's convenient."

As the biggest BOSS of this banquet, being able to invite him is to give him face. It is impossible for anyone to refuse directly. The richest man Bao is not arrogant enough; he can ignore the active Secretary of Defense of the United States, but of course he is not powerful enough.

Casper Weinberg is very different from the defense ministers of other countries. Without military rank, it is difficult to understand. This is also the tradition of the U.S. military. The Secretary of Defense plays more of a coordinating role and does not have much involvement in specific operations.

Casper Weinberg said with a smile: "I have heard of Mr. Xiao Bao's name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to see him. Today I finally saw him in person, which satisfied my curiosity."

"I felt that I was young and powerful before, but after seeing you, I realized that I am really old."

This old boy is a lawyer by background, and his words are impeccable. Be extremely careful when dealing with this kind of old fox. Otherwise, it is very likely to be bypassed by the other party, which will be very troublesome.

Bao Zixuan: "Your Excellency, Minister of Defense, you are joking. You are at the golden age to start a career. I am just lucky. I succeeded in starting my business for the first time. Nothing else."

Afterwards, the two complimented each other a few more times, and Caspar Weinberg suddenly changed the topic and said, "I heard that Mr. Bao has a very good relationship with Marshal Ustinov, the Soviet Defense Minister, and the two of them even drank together. When we were in Poland, we directly drank Marshal Ustinov, who was known as the Soviet Union’s first Dionysus, to death, and this incident has become a legend.”

What does this old boy mean? Why did he suddenly mention the Soviet Union?

Bao Zixuan: "The relationship is okay. We all like to drink. But we usually have our own work. It is not a problem for a businessman to have too much contact with the defense ministers and senior military generals of big countries. It will bring trouble to them, at most during holidays. Just say hello to each other and send a small gift."

This is for myself, and I want to keep distance from him, the US Secretary of Defense. It seems that this kid is much more mature than imagined, and his mind has surpassed that of most of his peers.

Caspar Weinberg smiled and said: "I don't mean anything else. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Xiaobao. In fact, Marshal Ustinov and I also got along very well. We didn't become friends. It's just that we have different opinions."

"Heiyun Group helped the Soviet Union dispose of a lot of old equipment and has rich experience in this area. At this time, the United States is also encountering similar problems, so I hope Heiyun Group can help the U.S. military solve its problems."

Weinberg's intention was obvious: to help the Soviet military but reject the U.S. Department of Defense. What does this mean? Does it mean looking down on the United States? Or does it mean something else?

Bao Zixuan was weighing the pros and cons and analyzing what Casper Weinberg wanted to express. Refusal will definitely offend people to death, and you must know that the US military is not easy to mess with. And I won't be able to reason with you at all. You are used to being arrogant.

So how to ensure maximum benefits is what needs to be considered at this time. There shouldn’t be much problem in buying second-hand American military vehicles, refurbishing and maintaining them and then selling them. Many countries still like to be cheap. But this will occupy Heiyun Automobile's existing production lines to a certain extent, making the already overloaded production lines even more tight.

Not only that, buying second-hand cars; new car sales are bound to be affected. Currently, Heiyun Motors is rapidly occupying the market. Taking over so many second-hand cars may lead to wasting all previous efforts. These are not good things for Heiyun Automobile.

In fact, Mr. Bao has also considered buying retired American military vehicles. It can also be shipped directly to the two production bases in Shanghai and Jordan, refurbished and sold locally, which can also maximize profits. However, re-establishing the production line is another troublesome matter.

Bao Zixuan: "I don't know what the Minister wants Heiyun to do, or how many decommissioned military vehicles he wants to deal with."

If you know you can't avoid it, it's better to be direct. This way, it looks good on both sides, and you won't waste time on trivial matters.

This kid is very wise. As long as Bao Zixuan is willing to come forward, things will be much easier to handle. Only he has the strength to digest so many second-hand cars.

Casper Weinberg: "This time the U.S. military plans to retire 340,000 military vehicles. In addition to some special vehicles related to confidentiality, there are still about 310,000 vehicles that need to be disposed of. Doing one thing without doing two things, the Department of Defense hopes that all All military vehicles are handed over to Heiyun Group. It is convenient for everyone, and no one will compete with you. Heiyun has pricing power, so sales will be relatively easy."

The Ministry of National Defense has made a big move this time, so is it expanding? You might as well just play the big ticket and make enough money at once. After seeing the profits, the U.S. military will never look for it again.
