"It's so delicious." Anina finished two large bowls of glutinous rice balls by herself. Fortunately, there was no more glutinous rice balls in the pot, otherwise she could probably hold on to one bowl.
Xia Xue marveled at Anina's good appetite, and at the same time wondered why she was so good at eating but had such a good figure. She would also quietly observe Xia Lei and guess the extent of the relationship between Xia Xue and this foreign girl's "friend".
Xia Xue's desire to have a sister-in-law has evolved into an obsession, which makes Xia Lei quite speechless, but he also understands why Xia Xue has such a complex. She lost her mother when she was a child. She lacked maternal love, so she really wanted to have a woman in the family. A mother can no longer be had, but a sister-in-law's wish can come true. Therefore, when she sees a beautiful woman around Xia Lei, she will urge Xia Lei to date them or something.
Anina didn't notice Xia Xue's strange look. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, looked at Xia Lei, and said in German: "Lei, I actually came here to tell you an idea."
"What do you think?" Xia Lei also spoke in German.
Anina said: "What your company currently produces is just a small one, and it is far from expected that it will become a big company. But I know that you are an ambitious man, and you will not be satisfied with the current situation."
Xia Lei smiled, "You're right, I do have a lot of ambitions, so what do you think?"
Anina said: "We will do something big."
"What do you want to do?" Xia Lei was curious.
"Listen to me." Xia Xue suddenly interrupted and said, "Brother, aren't you, Miss Xia Mei, British? She is speaking German now. Do you want to lie to your own sister?"
Xia Lei said: "She is actually German. Her identity is very sensitive. Don't tell anyone that she is from Germany when you go out."
"Why?" Xia Xue was not satisfied with this answer.
Xia Lei looked serious and said: "Can I tell you that I will hide it from you? Don't ask about this matter."
"Oh." Xia Xue seemed to realize that the problem was really serious. She stuck out her tongue and stopped asking.
Xia Lei said to Anina: "Go on, but don't use German, speak in English. You also have to change your habit of using your native language, otherwise you will cause trouble."
"Sorry, I forgot that Xiaoxue can't understand German." Anina said apologetically, this time she used English.
Xia Xue understood this time, and she smiled at Anina.
Anina continued: "Lei, you are the best machinist. I also know that you are a very good electrical engineer. You copied Joseph's intelligent machine tool with your hands. And I, I am also a very good machinist." , what I’m best at is engines. You and I join forces, let’s build car engines.”
"Ah?" Xia Lei was stunned on the spot.
Anina said: "During my time in Kyoto, I roughly calculated that you only need to invest 2.5 billion, and we can build a production base with an annual output of 100,000 engines of various types. I am confident , we can build the most advanced car engines in the world."
Xia Lei smiled, "Twenty-five billion? Sell me. How can I get so much money?"
"Loans, banks can help us solve the funding problem. In addition, you can also find investment companies. I believe there must be venture capital companies willing to invest in us." Anina said excitedly.
Xia Lei shook his head, "You don't understand the situation here. Even if your project is very good, it is very difficult to get a loan from the bank, let alone a loan of more than 2 billion. The bank's money is I would rather lend to a state-owned enterprise than to take risks by lending to a private enterprise. As for venture capital companies, it is possible for the venture capital companies here to invest several million for you to help you open an online store, and to invest more than 20 for you. 100 million to build an engine production base? Haha, don’t even think about it.”
After being splashed with cold water, Anina's excitement disappeared. "So, my plan won't work?"
"It won't work." Xia Lei said.
Anina looked very disappointed, "What a pity. I made a plan for this plan, but I didn't bring it with me because it wasn't completed yet. It seems... I have to complete it."
Xia Lei thought for a moment and said, "No, finish it. Just because I don't have the ability to realize this plan now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Don't you want to help me? When the time is right, you will come over and be my chief engineer. Once the conditions are right, , we will start your plan."
"This is great!" Anina hugged Xia Lei excitedly, and then kissed him hard on the cheek.
Xia Lei suddenly froze, very embarrassed. Not for anything else, just because Xia Xue is still here.
Xia Xue, however, had a bright smile on her face, "It's okay, you think I'm okay, or I can leave. Do you want me to leave?"
Xia Lei has nothing to say to such a sister.
Xia Xue thought in her heart, "Just give me a kiss if you have nothing to do. What level of friend is this?"
Anina didn't care at all. She suddenly remembered something and said: "Lei, Long Bing mentioned it to me and asked me if I knew how to make guns, um, sniper rifles. I said yes, and I told her My father and my grandfather were gun makers, and I knew how to do it since I was a child. Later I joined Krupp Mark Machinery Manufacturing Company, which is also a military industry company and has its own small arms production line. I told her that I knew those production lines, and she Let me tell you about the plan to build a gun. But I think building a gun is not as good as building an engine, so I will tell you later."
Xia Lei finally understood why Long Bing allowed Anina to come to his door on the first day of the new year. Long Bing got a sniper rifle with excellent performance from him. Shi Boren must know this, so he wanted him to produce more sniper rifles with superb performance for the country. So Anina, the lobbyist, came.
"Well, how much does it cost to invest in a production line for making sniper rifles?" Xia Lei asked casually.
Anina thought for a while and said: "This depends on the production capacity. If it is a large production line, of course it will cost a lot of money, but if it is a small production line, I estimate it is about 300 million. Because not only the equipment to be produced, We also need testing equipment.”
"Three hundred million?" Xia Lei frowned slightly. His assets were only more than 200 million. The branch in Shu would cost him about 100 million, and the rest was only a little over 100 million, which was not enough at all.
Anina said: "Three hundred million, the minimum investment."
If the sniper rifle can maintain its super-class performance, the military's orders will make people want to vomit, and their hands will cramp when counting money. Xia Lei declined Long Bing's proposal before because he was the only one who could do it, and it was just to modify the gun. As far as the capabilities of Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company are concerned, there is simply no ability to produce firearms. But it was different with Anina. According to her, her family was a gun-making family, and she was also familiar with the small arms production line of Krupp Mark Machinery Manufacturing Company. Even he doesn't have this knowledge. If she joins, it will be different!
Xia Lei smelled a business opportunity, and it was a huge business opportunity.
"Well, you tell Long Bing that I will think about it and then tell her my decision. And you, give me a simple plan and I will understand it. This can also help me make a decision." Xia Lei said.
"Well, okay. She allows me to stay with you for three days, but she doesn't allow me to go out. During these three days, I can make a simple plan for you." Anina said.
"You... want to stay here for three days?" Xia Lei's expression was a little strange.
Anina said: "Yes, if Long Bing doesn't want me to stay in a hotel or go out, her men are guarding outside."
Xia Lei moved his gaze and turned on the perspective mode of his left eye. There was no one at the door, but there was an old acquaintance at the stairs, Ke Jie. His eyes moved from the direction of the door to the direction of the balcony, and then he saw a Buick commercial vehicle parked on the roadside outside the community wall. There were also two young men with stern expressions sitting in the commercial vehicle. Ordinary people, he just didn't know them.
"Can I live here? If you don't allow me, I have to go to Kyoto. I don't want to go back so early. That place is terrible." Anina looked at Xia Lei nervously.
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Of course, you can stay in my room, and I'll stay in my dad's room."
"Thank you." Anina gave Xia Lei another hug. Of course, the etiquette of kissing on the cheek is essential.
Xia Xue couldn't understand when Xia Lei and Anina were talking about producing sniper rifles. After all, she was only a freshman and her English skills were limited. However, Anina said that she would stay here for three days, and Xia Lei agreed. She understood it. She smiled and said: "I prepared pajamas and slippers for Sister Xia Mei. Well, just use mine. If If you don’t mind, Sister Xia Mei.”
"No problem, I'm causing you trouble." The smile on Anina's face was so sweet.
"Sister Xia Mei, you're welcome." Xia Xue also smiled, but her smile looked a little strange. Moreover, it was her brother she was looking at when she smiled.
Xia Lei glared at her.
But at this moment, Xia Lei's cell phone rang.
Xia Lei took out his cell phone and took a look. It was a call from Shentu Tianyin. He answered the call, "Happy New Year, Tianyin."
"Happy New Year. Are you free?" Shentu Tianyin said: "We don't have to deal with company affairs today, how about we go to the park for a walk together?"
"Is that so..." Xia Lei glanced at Anina. It was a bit unreasonable for him to accompany Shentu Tianyin to the park while she was a guest.
Shentu Tianyin said: "My dad is also going. He said he hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you a little. Well, he is recovering well now, but he still has no strength in his legs and feet and can't walk. If you can show him Just watch.”
"Okay, let's meet at the park gate. By the way, which park is it?" Xia Lei asked.
Shentu Tianyin said: "Jingshan Park."
After ending the call, Xia Lei said apologetically: "Xia Mei, I'm sorry, I have to go out for a while. I'll be back in the afternoon, and we'll have dinner together in the evening. I'll prepare delicious food for you."
Anina shrugged, "No problem, I'm going to make a plan anyway, so go ahead and see you in the evening."
Xia Lei stared at Xia Xue, "Xiaoxue, just stay at home with Xia Mei today."
"Oh." Xia Xue's little mouth curled up.
Xia Lei sighed, "I'll make sweet and sour pork ribs for you tonight."
"Okay, giggle." Xia Xue smiled.
