Chapter 468 Convenience Food (First Update)

This situation basically did not exist when bangs were born. As long as you look at foreigners, you can roughly tell what race some people abroad are.

Of course, this refers to obvious characteristics, such as Eastern Europe and Western Europe.

Just like people from the same country, it’s hard to tell what ethnicity they are.

Foreign countries know a lot about us, but it is easy to confuse us with Japanese and Koreans.

We are very different from people in South Asia and Southeast Asia. In fact, we ourselves can easily tell the difference, and people from different countries can be distinguished by the way they walk and the way they look.

At this time, the communication between the East and the West was not very obvious at all, so foreigners saw that we all had black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin.

Just like when we look at Africans, we can't tell who is who.

At this time, when we look at Westerners, we all know that they are foreigners. At most, we can distinguish people with different skin colors. It is difficult to distinguish between people with the same skin color.

In one sentence, I have seen less, but in the Internet era, I have seen more things, so I naturally have a certain ability to distinguish.

The names in the novel are all Western names. For people like Sun Aiguo who don’t know much about them, I don’t know who they are after reading the first and second parts, so of course I can’t understand them.

It can only be said that the cultural differences between the East and the West are here, and the audiences are different.

"I understand Kung Fu Panda, but I don't think it's as good-looking as Havoc in Heaven." Sun Aiguo saw Liu Hai's expression and said again.

"I also like Upheaval in Heaven." The animation of Upheaval in Heaven is very good, but in the eyes of foreigners, it is too hot and difficult to understand.

It probably seemed to them more like a circus performance.

Because foreigners' fighting is like boxing, without many tricks, it's straight forward, so it looks simple.

However, Kung Fu has always had a market in the West. After all, some people still like it.

"This year has gone by so fast. I have been busy before and after, and I haven't been busy with a few things. The year will be over soon." Sun Aiguo nodded when he heard Liu Hai's words.

"I didn't do much this year." Liu Hai didn't do much this year, mainly because he focused on the aircraft carrier space in the second half of the year.

During the day, I basically spend my time in the maintenance department writing, drawing, writing novels, and entertaining.

"You are already very powerful. Your personal donation has reached more than 100 million US dollars. No one can compare with this." Sun Aiguo feels that Liu Hai is a money printing machine.

Even the money printing machine can't print so many US dollars. Look at Liu Hai writing and drawing alone in the maintenance department every day. Coupled with his personal donation, it creates a huge contrast.

Every time Sun Aiguo comes to the Maintenance Department, he laments that this is a treasured place for Feng Shui. Of course, he can only sigh in his heart.

How much profit has the maintenance department created and how much technology has it created?

This is the real hermit master. He makes money by sitting in his office and writing and drawing.

"Hey!" Liu Hai chuckled.

"The newspapers on Hong Kong Island, as well as the newspapers over there, strongly protested against Kung Fu Panda. They said it would have a world premiere on December 20, but it turned out that in these two places, the world premiere was on December 21."

"According to feedback, the box office of these two places is also good. Hong Kong Island's economic development has been so rapid in recent years, especially in manufacturing and shipping. Fortunately, we won several important ports in the early years." Sun Aiguo said after taking a sip of tea. .

This Liu Hai probably knows how many people Hong Kong Island has absorbed as a transfer station for massive supplies, as well as the huge production base of his own Sihai Group there.

"Our circle in the East has a relatively high acceptance of Kung Fu Panda. After all, our influence was too great back then." Liu Hai nodded.

In its heyday, entertainment stars on Hong Kong Island relied on Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia to make money.

"Transformers also sell well in small books." Sun Aiguo added.

Liu Hai smiled slightly. This thing was originally made by the other party, but he changed it a bit and changed the autobots inside into dealers' cars. Of course, it was only part of it.

The dealers had to help them promote it, but the effect was surprisingly good.

The effect was surprisingly good. Transformers was released worldwide on Christmas Day, and this time it started from the small book.

The average attendance rate reached over 95%. Seeing this, theater chains continued to increase their film schedules, and in some places all pre-sale tickets were sold out within three days.

This is mainly Transformers, which has penetrated into the lives of many people in the West.

Even when some businesses on the street hold events, they have to buy two sets of Transformers mecha suits to wear on people to attract a wave of people.

What's more, the free amusement park has the most Transformers shows.

Free playgrounds have been a huge impact on Disney.

There is no way for others to imitate this model. The Transformers amusement park is free, but the Transformers toys are not free, and they also promote movies and cars. How can it compare to other amusement parks?

Of course, what surprised everyone was that after the Transformers feature film, there was actually a trailer.

In the trailer, many people laughed when the Dodge sedan spewed out black smoke and shouted "Dodge" and ran away.

So many people shouted "Dodge" loudly after seeing a Dodge car on the street.

There is also the Cougar sports car, which points arrogantly at each other after each transformation, and then runs faster than anyone else after being beaten.

This is the version of the trailer chosen by the two car manufacturers themselves, because the two car manufacturers do not care about the sales of the previous cars, as long as their own manufacturers can be famous.

Because I chose this sample film, there can still be a plot after the two villains run away.

However, there is obviously a gap between Eastern and Western thinking. Most people in the West can still distinguish between cartoons and reality.

Since Christmas, the sales of Cougar convertibles and Dodge sedans from these two car manufacturers have slowly increased, and they are getting more and more every day.

This also lets others know why the two major automakers want to cooperate with dealers.

It turns out that these two shameless bastards actually joined each other.

In the movie circle, Transformers almost crushes other movies. After all, it is Christmas, and adults don’t mind spending some time and money to take their children to watch movies, and most of the children’s request is to see Transformers.

In the automotive industry, big dog cars are also sweeping the global automotive market.

Even when the two major car manufacturers started producing big dog cars, orders were still in the hundreds of thousands.

In the past, dealers did not have much publicity in Laos and the United States, but now it is different. The two leading parties directly launched a nationwide publicity.

And incidentally promote other products of Rover Motors.

Soon many local politicians took a fancy to Rover's ultra-high-pressure firefighting water trucks.

The biggest advantage of this water wheel is that the water pressure is very strong. Strong water pressure means greater water output per unit time.

The greater the water output per unit time, the faster the fire is extinguished. This water tanker has a lot of practical experience in continental Europe and has been praised by politicians.

So the United States ordered 200 special ultra-high-pressure fire water trucks from Rover Motors, which were of course customized according to American standards.

In addition, there is another place where Kung Fu Panda brings fire, and that is the zoo.

You can often see small groups of children looking at the animals in the zoo, whispering something, arguing loudly for a while, and then starting to imitate.

Of course, there is no raccoon thing this time. Liu Hai replaced the raccoon with a red panda.

That is to say, the raccoon master is replaced by the red panda master, and the red panda looks even better.

This also introduced the rest of the world to red pandas for the first time.

Distributors are making a killing this Christmas, with movies like Kung Fu Panda and Transformers.

There are big dog cars and some vehicles that were restricted in North America in the past. Because the two major car manufacturers took over the after-sales service of Rover Motors, Rover Motors has fully entered North America.

As for toys, let alone stuffed toys and Transformers toys.

The discussion of Lionheart is becoming more and more widespread in literature, because many people find the structure of this book to be too large.

The alliance team being pursued, as well as the orc troops chasing after them, can easily identify each other's status in the army through the badges on their chests.

Not only the badges, but also various types of equipment, from boots, leggings, breastplates, shoulder pads, wrist guards, etc., can be said to look more sophisticated than real ancient armor.

Many people thought that Mr. Jack should be a huge team. Although the first part only showed part of it, it was enough to make people breathtaking.

However, dealers face another big problem, that is, the main grains produced in North America are corn and wheat.

In addition, Europe is also rich in corn and wheat, but the global sales of corn and wheat are not very good.

How to barter is also a headache for dealers.

Now in North America, with such a large market, it is definitely not cost-effective to use other people's bills. It is most cost-effective to purchase materials directly with bills.

If you transfer money out in North America, you will still have to pay a lot of fees, but if you directly buy some food and the like, you may even get subsidies. In addition, you can make a fortune from the food. One less amount.

In early January 1972, in the shipbuilding workshop of the motorcycle factory, today was the day Liu Hai started manufacturing superyachts. Five superyachts, each costing US$50 million, were delivered within three years.

The power system of the yacht is the same as that of the Emperor, which facilitates after-sales maintenance.

The key lies in the external shape and internal decoration. Some prefer retro, some prefer modern, and some prefer abstract.

Liu Hai is explaining the technical parameters and drawings required for the first yacht to the shipbuilding workshop technicians here.

These people had yacht manufacturing skills once, so this time I let them do it. If it didn't work well, I had to redo it.

Liu Hai himself plays the role of a supervisor and leader.

In addition, the production of mid-range yachts will start immediately. The bangs of mid-range yachts are also going to use the shell-changing method, and the power will be the power system of a catamaran.

Catamarans use two engines, and yachts use one engine.

But we haven’t started there yet, let’s first assign tasks to the superyacht workshop.

Because this year's material plan has begun to be implemented and materials will be delivered one after another, the people in the technical department here mainly do drawings in the early stage.

Liu Hai took out the rough data of the yacht, that is, the length, width, and draft, and gave a rough structural diagram, and then asked the people in the technical department to draw other diagrams.

So throughout the morning, Liu Hai discussed with the people in the technical department. In fact, the people in the technical department asked Liu Hai some questions they didn't understand.

"Xiao Liu." Sun Aiguo appeared during lunch.

"Director, do you have something to do with me?" Sun Aiguo came here only yesterday afternoon, and he came again at noon today. It seems that there must be something.

"We sold nearly 400 fire trucks again."

"Among them, the American side sold 200 of them. It is said that their people have obtained the usage conditions in Europe, but they have to customize them according to their standards. Of course, the price is very good." Sun Aiguo also held a car in his hand. A meal, let Liu Hai go with him, Sun Aiguo said as they walked.

Of course Liu Hai knew what kind of fire truck it was, which was an ultra-high-pressure fire truck. When the power of this thing was turned to the maximum, even car glass could be broken.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the current car glass is not as strong as the back.

As for attacking people, let alone attacking people, this thing is customized by capitalists to deal with workers.

Sun Aiguo and Liu Hai said as they walked: "Transformers has ranked first at the box office in North America and Europe for two consecutive weeks."

When Sun Aiguo said this, he looked at Liu Hai. The more box office, the more share Liu Hai would get. According to current opinions, Comrade Liu Hai's share in the first quarter of 1972 might be more than 100 million US dollars.

"However, this also faces a problem. Dealers don't want to transfer money directly. They want to buy various raw materials there, but many materials there are expensive."

"Dealers are very willing to buy grain from there, because buying grain there is more cost-effective, and they can also win over farmers there. It is said that farmers have great influence in the United States."

The two came to the office together, and Sun Aiguocai continued: "And we can't import so much wheat and corn."

Liu Hai knew that no one in China would feed corn or wheat to pigs now. This was no different than when Liu Hai traveled through time, when the proportion of grain in pig feed was still very high.

At that time, pigs did not grow very much if they did not eat feed.

"Can't it be sold in third world countries?" Liu Hai knew that third world countries are relatively short of food.

Of course, this is their own doing. In fact, the production environment in Africa is not starving at all. There are various reasons for food shortages, but the biggest reason is that developed countries want to control food prices.

"Doing business there is more of a headache. The last government that got the grain has stepped down, and the next one may not accept it. Grain is eaten as soon as it is eaten. It is no better than our mining machinery and equipment. If you don't admit it, we will Just blow it up." Sun Aiguo said.

When Liu Hai heard this, he thought of a long-awaited plan, which was convenience food.

In the past, Liu Hai planned to make instant noodles, but at that time, there was simply not enough food in the country to eat. Wherever there was excess food, he could make instant noodles.

Now instant noodles have come out in Xiaoben, but now it seems to be cup noodles or something like that.

And there aren't many flavors. When Liu Hai traveled through time, he entered a supermarket and saw more than a dozen kinds of instant noodles, with various flavors.

"I have an idea about food." Liu Hai said after hearing this.

"Tell me about it?" Sun Aiguo asked immediately after hearing this.

"Actually, several years ago, I bought steamed buns one afternoon and forgot about them when I left. I put them in the office and cooked them the next day."

"It was so hard that I smashed it into pieces. Then I soaked it in some boiling water at noon, and then went to the canteen to get some food and mixed it together. I thought it was okay to eat."

"The other thing is the steamed buns, which are delicious when soaked in boiling water or soup."

“At that time, I was wondering if I could deep-fry the noodles and then soak them to eat.”

"I did some experiments for this purpose and found that it's OK. It's just that we had a shortage of food before and it was impossible to use flour to do these things." Liu Hai said.

Instant noodles were first fried, but later became non-fried.

In my previous life, any small factory could make instant noodles, and the technology wasn't too complicated.

"Then let's give it a try?" Sun Aiguo heard Liu Hai say this and did not question Liu Hai, because the comrade in front of him had never failed in doing anything.

"Then I'll think about it here." Liu Hai said.

"But I can't guarantee whether it will be successful. Even if it is successful, I can't guarantee whether it will be sold abroad."

"Also, the food standards at home and abroad seem to be different. The dealers have to get some information about this." Liu Hai didn't know what the West thought of instant noodles.

However, Liu Hai believes that as long as instant noodles are made to suit Westerners' tastes, they will be able to accept it.

"I'll report this right away. Here are things related to film shooting collected by the dealer. There are also storyboards and the like." Sun Aiguo said while looking at the document bag in his hand.

Because Sun Aiguo doesn't even know what a movie script is.

"Distributors are willing to make the novel Lionheart City into a live-action movie, and it is said that many investors are willing to invest. In addition, many people are said to want to invest in Transformers 3, but the distributors are still I'm hesitating about how much I should charge." Sun Aiguo said again.

Liu Hai nodded. Transformers has already become popular twice, so the third one will definitely be a hit.

"Kung Fu Panda is also preparing a second part, and the specific production funds are still being discussed."

"The superior department asked me to tell you the news. It doesn't mean to urge you to do this immediately, but to let you be mentally prepared and have a plan of your own. After all, you have too many things on your side." Sun Aiguo added later. I explained, for fear that Liu Hai would misunderstand.
