Rather than visiting a car manufacturing factory, it is better to visit an old car repair shop that has closed down long ago.

The ruins and overgrown weeds nearby gave Tao Xi, who came out of the sewer, a feeling of desolation. If it weren't for the fact that there was an old white man guarding the gate of the factory, even Marco would have thought he was here.

Wrong place.

"Marco! Are you sure this is the [DeLorean Automobile Company] you are talking about!"

Marco looked at the surroundings with a look of disbelief and muttered in a low voice: "Thankfully we put the RV back, otherwise we would have to find a rescue vehicle due to the road conditions here!"

Tao Xi saw Marco standing behind him with a suspicious look on his face, muttering something unknown.

Tao Xi then walked towards the old white man at the factory gate, minding his own business: "Is this [DeLorean Automobile Company]?"

The old white man frowned and glanced at Tao Xi in confusion, then looked at the alarm clock behind him: "Ah! No! There is no one left! My son is still in the factory!"

The old white man lay tremblingly in Tao Xi's ear and answered as if he was afraid that Tao Xi wouldn't hear.

"Did I say this was [DeLorean Motor Company]?"

"There is no one left! Go and look elsewhere, we are not hiring here!"

When Marco saw this, he directly dragged Tao Xi towards the factory gate. When Tao Xi walked into the factory again, he whispered: "Uncle! We are in!"

"Go in! There's no one!"

"Hey! Marco! The old man can hear you!"

Marco looked back at the old man and said to Tao Xi with a gossipy face: "That might be DeLaurie's father. Since DeLaurie went to prison and the factory closed down, his sons have all remarried with their mothers.

After arriving in England, only his father came to Los Angeles to sell the remaining cars from the [DeLaurie Automobile Factory]."

"Ha! Do you dislike the poor and love the rich?"

Marco waved his hand nonchalantly and replied: "There is no way. Since 1981, [DeLaurie Automobile Factory] has placed a total of 9,200 car orders. The first batch of delivered cars was sold in a timely manner, but the first batch of cars was sold in a timely manner.

The second batch of 1,000 cars was all lost to Delori because he was in jail for taking drugs."

Tao Xi heard Marco say that the owner of this factory was taking drugs. Tao Xi immediately asked: "Is he really taking drugs?"

"I said he was wronged. The designer of their factory, William Collins, was an engineer at Lotus before and now works part-time in my repair shop. He put a lot of effort into our RV!"

"Without him, I wouldn't know Delorie!"

Hearing Marco's words, Tao Xi nodded in realization. Marco loved cars, but it might be okay to let Marco, a man who walked out of the sewer, steal a car, but if Marco was allowed to build one,

The trolley is probably hanging!

Unless Marco also has a radio with the same function as the one he has.

There are many factory buildings, many of which are used to store industrial waste or tires, but most of the factories are empty.

The further you go into the factory, the messier the factory becomes and the more car parts there are on the ground.

"Look there!"

Tao Xi followed the direction of Marco's finger and suddenly saw a silver-gray car. Although the car looked a little bulky, the way the car opened the door immediately attracted Tao Xi.

A gray-faced fat man got out from under the car's chassis and said to Tao Xi: "It's cool! Isn't it? This is called a gull-wing door!"

Tao Xi saw a trace of wealth in the big fat man. If he hadn't had money in the past, it would be difficult for ordinary white people to gain weight.

"Are you Marco? William Collins just told me that you are coming today!" John DeLaurie greeted Marco eagerly. Before Marco could say a few words, he was greeted by John.

DeLaurie was dragged near the car.

It seemed that the two of them had communicated before, and Tao Xi didn't care but looked at everything in front of him with interest.

The entire [Delaori Automobile Company] factory covers approximately 60 acres. The area of ​​this factory is much larger than the land behind Taosi's factory in the United States and Australia.

Once here, Tao Xi could see that there were some production equipment in some factories, but these production equipment were different from what Tao Xi saw in the Toyota factory.

There are either some cranes or some car suspension parts. Several broken car chassis are neatly stacked in the corner. There is a monitoring room not far away, but the screens in the monitoring room have been smashed to pieces.

"Due to cost reasons, the factory in Los Angeles was only used to assemble cars."

"Most of our work is done by the Northern Ireland Automobile Factory. We are actually second-tier dealers in the automotive industry!"

John DeLaurie stood behind Tao Xi at some point. Marco looked at Tao Xi eagerly and wanted to say something, but due to the presence of John DeLaurie, he was embarrassed to say it.

.

Tao Xi was not in a hurry but pointed to the area: "How much money will it cost to resume work here?"

"80 million! I only need 80 million to revitalize this place! And I can sell my shares for free!"

"But William Collins, who has been with me until now, needs some encouragement. He has worked hard enough!"

When Tao Xi heard the price of [80 million], his eyebrows twitched unconsciously, but fortunately he was also a person who had seen big scenes. Tao Xi pretended to be calm and asked: "Where is the debt?

"

John DeLaurie responded with an embarrassed look on his face when he heard Taosi's question: "The most valuable thing in the company now is the patent, because I still owe a debt of 11 million US dollars to the Northern Ireland automobile factory, and those patents are still in Northern Ireland."

Pledged by the bank.”

"Okay! I know the general situation."

When Marco saw Tao Xi turning around and walking out of the factory gate, he immediately became a little anxious: "What are you doing, Tao Xi!"

"I don't have enough money to buy this big toy you're interested in. Let's go check out the [Ford Auto Repair Shop]."

"Not expensive! Taosi, he is really not expensive. William Collins told me privately that if I had the intention, we would just sign the [debt transfer agreement]! John DeLaurie has long since not wanted to be in the United States.

Stupid, if it weren't for those debts, he might have brought his father back to China long ago!"

Tao Xi said helplessly after hearing Marco's words: "But he needs 80 million U.S. dollars to resume work. Where are we going to get the money?"

“Pre-sale!”

“We can pre-sell it!”

"Didn't you just buy the Clippers? We still have the [Yellow Pages]!"

"A car costs US$8,000, and he can only buy a basic car. As long as the customer adds money, we can continue to provide customers with a variety of unique configurations!"

"But the prerequisite is that customers must pay a 50% deposit first, and then we can place orders from the factory."

Tao Xi stared at Marco in surprise for a long time. When Marco looked at him firmly, Tao Xi smiled~

In fact, what Tao Xi always wanted to ask was [Are you sure you came up with this?], but Tao Xi resisted. Marco has grown up, and it is time to give him some opportunities to grow on his own!

"Okay! Since you like it, then go ahead and do it! John Drewry can no longer be used. He has a problem. Although I don't know where he appears, I don't trust him!"

When Marco heard Tao Xi's words, he immediately focused on Tao Xi and kept saying some slang from his childhood.

"Confirm some of the equipment here, and then confirm the ownership of the factory. If the ownership of the land is not in the hands of John DeLaurie, go to Long Beach to buy a piece of industrial land and build cars there!"

Marco has basically lost the ability to think after hearing Tao Xi's promise. No matter what Tao Xi says now, Marco is "ok", "good" and "no problem"

Tao Xi, who left the factory alone, deliberately didn't say anything when he saw the old man at the door, but the old man took the initiative to say hello.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you looking for?"

"What are you doing?"

Tao Xi pretended not to hear these three questions. Tao Xi's appearance made the old white man very angry.

Walking on the path full of dirt roads, Tao Xi couldn't help but fell silent. It's not that Tao Xi didn't have courage in this car factory, but that for this unknown thing, Tao Xi didn't know how to turn it into money.

As for moving the factory to Long Beach, Tao Xi simply felt that it was closer to the sea. If this car had no sales in the United States, Tao Xi could still find a way to sell it abroad!

For example, Africa? South America? Asia?

It would be really difficult to break the old car monopoly in a mature market like the United States. Marco's idea is indeed very novel, but Tao Xi doesn't think it can happen!

Japanese cars and German cars are bombarded with advertisements in the United States, and it is not something that little shrimps like them can take the lead in.

If talking about movies, Tao Xi took advantage of a loophole and broke the monopoly by relying on drive-in theaters, then cars are a real money-spending thing!

Don't look at the awesomeness of the [Yellow Pages], the awesomeness of the [Yellow Pages] was built after Tao Xi spent nearly ten years hanging out in the sewers of Los Angeles before those shady people were willing to work for a living.

As for whether this car factory can be built, Tao Xi doesn't know, but Tao Xi is willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to try for his brother Marco. If it doesn't work, he will still have his brother!
