Moreover, the current China, because the international shape is not as bad as the later generations, is far from being closed to the future generations. Although the number of foreign guests who come to China for tourism and visit Wèn every year is not large, the overall number is not small. Especially in major cities, it is very inconvenient for these foreigners to come to China without taxis.

At present, there is only one small taxi company in Beijing, with only a few dozen Polish-made Warsaw cars, and such dozens of old-fashioned cars are not enough to use even in Beijing, let alone other regions? Moreover, the introduction of a car production line costs foreign exchange, so now the import of cars as a car for leaders and government departments does not cost foreign exchange?

It costs foreign exchange, so the import is only for the use of leaders and cadres at a certain level, and cannot create any economic benefits. With the introduction of production lines, the production and manufacture of automobiles that can be exported to earn foreign exchange and economic benefits, which is more beneficial to China's economy?

The most important thing is that in Yang Zhen's view, the car is a commodity. Then since it is a commodity, it can also be exported. The domestic production process is indeed inferior to the developed countries in the West in a short period of time, but it is much cheaper than the West in terms of labor and the source of raw materials.

As long as the general quality is passed and the price is reasonable, even if it cannot seize the high-end car market, there is still no problem in the low-end car market. Yang Zhen does not believe that the German process is adopted, and the performance of German technology production is excellent, but the price is lower than that of Western products, and the cars made by the Chinese themselves are not sold at all in the international market.

The follow-up trend is indeed basically according to Yang Zhen's prediction. What the founding premier and party economists did not expect was that the benefits brought by these cars, televisions, and refrigerators, which were not of any use in his eyes at least now, were far from what he expected.

In particular, Yang Zhen's insistence on installing external reversing mirrors of his own design and not yet installed in cars in other countries, as well as the production of several cars with small displacement, were very popular in foreign markets. Especially after the oil crisis, the number of small-displacement cars made by the Chinese is quite staggering.

In addition to seizing some of the low-end markets in Western countries with low price and fuel consumption, as well as some markets in the Middle East and South America, it is also basically because of its excellent quality and appearance that is far more fashionable than the family cars produced in Eastern Europe, which basically crushed the family car industry in Eastern Europe. The number of cars exported to Eastern European countries every year has reached more than 100,000.

Especially in the East German market, several Chinese-made cars with the blood of their West German brothers are extremely popular. Every year, sales in East Germany reached 780,000 units. The entire streets of East Germany were filled with Chinese cars. Because of the history and the performance of the vehicles themselves, Soviet sedans were largely unpopular in East Germany.

Not only in East Germany, but also in other Eastern European countries, because of the local population's antipathy to the history of the Soviet Union, the market was seized by Chinese goods. The Soviets could only barely maintain the market for government cars by taking advantage of their political pressure on the control of Eastern European countries.

Even the Soviet Union's own market was seized by Chinese goods. If it weren't for the fact that the Soviets strictly limited the number of Chinese cars imported, I am afraid that their domestic Muscovites and gas cars would basically have no market. The Soviets imported Italian production lines and technology, and the Lada cars produced were probably difficult to sell. While the international market is booming, the market is not as bad as expected after the domestic market is liberalized to allow private car purchases. Although the annual sales are not as good as the number of exports, the sales of 100,000 units including taxis are still basically achieved. In particular, those high-level intellectuals who have a certain amount of savings in their hands have become the main force of the first batch to buy cars.

In less than five years after the official commissioning of these car production lines, they basically recovered all their investment and created a huge amount of foreign exchange. Moreover, it has driven the development of China's automobile engine industry and steel industry in the upstream and downstream. This is what the people who opposed him at the beginning did not expect. The only one who was a little depressed was the Minister of Petroleum Industry, who was not less scolded because of the supply of gasoline.

Of course, in addition to creating these wealth for the country, Yang Zhen, who was in charge of the negotiations, was not without a little gain personally. Another important takeaway was that the Germans he had come to China for negotiations were not much better than the Soviets and Americans had done so.

Not as vicious as the Soviets, but not much better. And even got the insatiable blackmailers, as well as the mafia, these two rather loud nicknames from the Germans. In recognition of the fact that he was in this negotiation, he was almost like extorting a quid pro quo to the Germans.

However, these nicknames are more than the Americans who were forced to pay off more than $3 billion in the cost of lend-lease materials during the war. He's been nicknamed the Vampire and the Manchurian Rogue who deserves to go to hell forever, the hateful super-hooligan, or the vicious dog on the streets of Chicago.

In the eyes of the Germans, this young guy was even more difficult to deal with than the hateful Soviets. Because he always knows what he needs and what is best for them. The most important thing is that this hateful guy seems to have a good understanding of the level of scientific and technological development in Germany and even in Europe as a whole. And there are so many means that it is simply impossible to prevent it.

When the introduction of large-tonnage trucks and new diesel engine technologies that were not within the scope of the Germans' negotiations, this guy got drunk at the wine table with a deputy minister of economic affairs in charge of negotiations in Germany and the executive directors of two large German companies, and then coaxed the parties whose heads were no longer able to think at that time to sign, creating an established fact.

Negotiating with him can be a chore for his opponents. In the end, even the Chinese banquet was rejected as much as possible when he heard that Yang Zhen was participating. I really couldn't refuse, either I sent the largest amount of alcohol to deal with it, or when I arrived at the banquet, no matter how the Chinese people persuaded me, I just didn't drink a drop of alcohol.

There is no way, Yang Zhen, the chief negotiator of the Chinese side, has the rank of general. As long as he participates, those who are qualified to participate in this kind of banquet are people of a certain level. And Yang Zhen held the fate of nearly 100,000 Germans in his hands, which made the Germans unable to go. But if the level of the person who went was low, it would be an insult to the Chinese.

And this guy is not only full of tricks at the wine table, but there is always a way to make you drink. And the amount of alcohol itself, in the words of the German vice chancellor who led the delegation, is a barrel. In the eyes of the Germans, no matter how much you drink, you can't get drunk. I have been to so many banquets, and I have never seen him drink too much.

He doesn't drink much, but if he pours you too much, he can't figure out what tricks he can do. Therefore, after suffering a big loss, the Germans were vigilant about participating in Yang Zhen's banquet in every way, and tried their best to avoid being deceived. But even then, there was no complete escape.

The last loan of 100 million West German marks was agreed to by the Minister of Economy after he was poured too much, and at the instigation of Yang Zhen. Originally, this loan was not in the plans of the Germans. As a result of this negotiation, China has received great benefits and basically achieved its goals.

And for the Germans, it can be described as a heavy loss. The return of the country resulted in the resignation of one deputy prime minister, one minister of economy, two deputy ministers, one deputy minister of finance and technology, one deputy minister of defense, two secretaries of state, and five members of parliament. Four executive directors or general managers of major companies were dismissed. In other words, the German delegation to negotiate this time was almost completely wiped out.

In fact, the Germans didn't know that the wine jug that poured wine for Yang Zhen at the banquet was specially made. There is a small mechanism on the handle, and the jug is divided into two compartments. Half is Moutai, and the other half is boiled water. The waiter who is in charge of pouring the wine around him is also specially selected and specially trained.

As long as Yang Zhen made a look, he knew whether to pour wine or water into Yang Zhen's cup. Otherwise, how could Yang Zhen really have such a large amount of alcohol and be able to put down a group of opponents. You must know that although the Germans drink no more than the Soviets, who are naturally immune to alcohol and drink vodka, which is almost alcoholic distilled spirit, as plain water, it is not shallow among European countries.

With Yang Zhen's amount of alcohol, it may be possible to put down one. Put down a group, then you don't have that ability. Moreover, due to the long-term over-quota work during the war, and the fact that he served as the commander of the military region in Xinjiang, which was extremely harsh at that time, for five years. During his tenure, he personally led the team to every corner of Xinjiang, and he has also been overloaded.

In addition, during the war, the serious injuries he had suffered had not been thoroughly healed. In his previous tenure as commander of the Xinjiang Military Region, he was appointed by the chairman to return to Beijing and be in charge of negotiations with Germany in the name of deputy director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Yang Zhen's health is not very good. Long-term neurasthenia, as well as irregular diet, made him very poor. Doctors, too, strictly forbade him to drink a lot of alcohol.

However, in the face of the negotiations of the Germans, who are strict by nature and consider things very comprehensively, it is impossible not to take some necessary measures if they want to get what they want when the chips are not so sufficient. You must know that 100,000 German prisoners of war are not worth such a big price for the Germans.

New China, which has just been founded for less than six years and has not yet completely healed the wounds of several decades of war, is unlikely to come up with too much financial resources to import advanced equipment from the West. And not to mention whether there is that financial resources or not, there are many things, especially advanced production technology, which people will not sell.

Although there is no fable of a cat teaching a tiger to climb a tree in the West, the capitalist competition that has been intrigued for hundreds of years is not given in vain. If you want to pay as little as possible and get more advanced technology and production equipment, you can only think of more ways. Yang Zhen also came up with this loss out of helplessness.

Although these methods he played were not unusual for Chinese who were accustomed to talking about things at the wine table. But for Westerners like Germany, this approach is still very unaccustomed. Therefore, on the wine table, it has become the best place for Yang Zhen to start. In any case, the conditions that should be proposed have already been made clear during the formal negotiations. The rest is just bargaining.

However, although in the eyes of the Germans, Yang Zhen is not a good negotiation partner, and his impression of him can be described as quite bad. But the Germans like to deal with Yang Zhen in some things. Because they think that Yang Zhen is a guy who is greedy and hateful.

But he does not have the old-fashioned and traditional traditions of other Chinese, and his way of thinking is closer to that of Westerners. Not even like other Chinese. A simple thing has to go around and around to make your purpose clear. Although there are some unscrupulous means to do things, after all, it takes a lot less effort to negotiate with him. When it's time to give in, this damn guy isn't fighting for an inch of land.
