  Chapter 68 The Golden Age of Motorcycles

  After leaving the general manager's office, Manager Chen helped Chen Yi complete the loan procedures as quickly as possible.

  There was a general manager from Li Guowei who asked, and Manager Chen personally helped to handle it. It took only half an hour before and after, and the 3 million loan was credited to the account.

  This efficiency reminded Chen Yi that Ma Qingqing told him last time that Boss Ma came to the bank for a loan.

  Ordinary people go to the bank to borrow money, begging their grandparents to tell their grandma, it’s not bad if they can get a loan. As for the issue of efficiency and inefficiency, that’s secondary.

   "Mr. Chen, the 3 million loan has been credited to your bank account now, you can verify it."

   "Thank you, Manager Chen"

   "Should"

  After verifying the amount, Chen Yi asked, "Manager Chen, can you give me a check book?"

   "No problem, please wait a moment, Mr. Chen"

   "Mr. Chen, here is your checkbook."

  When giving Chen Yi the check book, Manager Chen specially reminded Chen Yi of some precautions to avoid problems such as the check not being cashed.

  Whether it was in the previous life or now, Chen Yi has never written a check to anyone. If Manager Chen introduced it, Chen Yi would naturally not refuse.

Before the emergence of online payment, checks can undoubtedly reduce a lot of troubles, so that he does not need to leave too much cash in the factory in the future, and can directly use checks for payment, and no longer have to go to the bank to withdraw money. Not only is it troublesome, but also Very unsafe.

  Of course, Chen Yi needs a check book, and the most important thing is to pay back the money.

  Before, he took 100,000 Hong Kong dollars from Boss Li, and he made a strong promise to give the other party a sponsorship fee of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

  He would never say anything about this money, and he didn't give it to him before, because two hundred thousand is not a small amount after all, and if he can keep this money in his hand for a moment longer, he will have more peace of mind.

  Now he has more than three million yuan in liquid funds alone, so naturally he doesn't need to search and search like this anymore.

  Chen Yi stretched out his hand and said, "Manager Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

   Manager Chen held Chen Yi's hand and said with a smile, "I hope that Mr. Chen can come here to trouble me a few more times in the future, so as to improve our performance."

   "Haha..." Chen Yi nodded with a smile, "Definitely, next time I have a chance, I'll trouble Manager Chen again."

  Manager Chen: "Then we can make a deal."

   "It's decided," Chen Yi nodded.

  People are mutual, Chen Yi naturally knows this.

  Anyway, last time including this point, Manager Chen helped him. He, Chen Yi, is not an ungrateful person, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will not do the thing of turning his face and denying others.

   Having received a loan of three million Hong Kong dollars, Chen Yi immediately felt a burst of relief after he walked out of Hang Seng Bank.

  In the next few months, regardless of the sales of Rubik's Cube toys, he doesn't need to think about money anymore.

  The feeling of being rich is different. Chen Yi walks with breeze now, and he can't hide his cheerful appearance.

  Waiting outside, Ming Zai saw Chen Yi coming out, quickly got off the motorcycle, and asked, "Brother Yi, how is it? Is it over?"

  Chen Yi patted Ming Zai on the shoulder, and said complacently: "It's done, brother Yi, is there anything you can't fix?"

   Before Ming Zai was ready to ask more questions, Chen Yi stepped on the two-wheeled motorcycle he bought not long ago, and said, "Let's go, let's go back first."

  Boom—

  In this era, motorcycles are synonymous with style.

  Xiangjiang is close to the island country, and the manufacturing industry of the island country is similar to that of the inland for decades during this period, with high quality and low price, and is deeply loved by consumers all over the world.

  The 1970s and 1980s were the golden age of the motorcycle industry in the island country. The four major motorcycle manufacturers in the island country, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki, were sought after by motorcycle consumers with high technology, large displacement, multiple cylinders, and high configuration.

  From the 1950s to the end of the 1980s, the motorcycles produced by the four major manufacturers, even decades later, still have many classic models and various advanced designs that are difficult to surpass.

  In the 1950s, the demand for small-displacement motorcycles among the people of the island country increased greatly, and the annual demand increased at a rate of 40%.

  Such a huge business opportunity has naturally led a large number of island country companies to invest in the wave of motorcycle production.

   During the most period, more than 200 companies emerged in the entire island country to participate in the production and manufacture of motorcycles. Among them, the four automobile brands of Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki thrived during this period.

  From 1953, the number of motorcycles produced in the island country was only 100,000, but by 1960, the production of motorcycles in the island country had grown rapidly to 1.4 million.

  During this process, a large number of companies without independent technological innovation capabilities and relying solely on imitation and plagiarism were largely eliminated.

After continuous market reshuffle, more than 200 motorcycle manufacturers in the island country have undergone continuous market mergers, acquisitions or bankruptcy, and finally only Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki are left. Four motorcycle brands.

  In terms of strength, these four motorcycle brands have integrated RB's domestic strongest motorcycle production technology and scale, and their production resources are extremely concentrated. Although the number has decreased, it has actually improved the overall strength of the island nation's motorcycles.

  The motorcycle that Chen Yi rides is a Suzuki GT750 Buffalo. This motorcycle has an iconic status in the history of motorcycles, with first-class technology and a very modern model.

  It made its debut in October 1970 and was an instant hit at the Tokyo Motor Show, but the production period was only six short years.

  GT750 Buffalo is driven by a water-cooled three-cylinder two-stroke engine. It is the first island country motorcycle equipped with a liquid-cooled engine in history.

  Chen Yi doesn't have much rejection of products from island countries.

  For ordinary people, whichever product they need is better and cheaper, they will inevitably choose which one.

  As for patriotism, it is very simple to want the common people to be patriotic. Just raise the tariffs. When foreign products are not of high quality and low price, the common people will naturally not buy them.

  Of course, if you meet some rich, extreme people, the kind of people who even sell their own kidneys for an Apple mobile phone, there is no need to talk about it.

  Each era has a trendy product. Today is the era when island country manufacturing spreads all over the world. It is as difficult for foreigners in later generations to avoid inland manufacturing if they want to avoid island country manufacturing.

  In later generations, the inland has become the world's factory, and inland manufacturing is spread all over the world. Even if other countries are unwilling to see the rise of the inland, knowing that purchasing goods made in the inland will increase the economic strength of the inland, they still cannot get rid of the use of inland manufacturing.

  So, Chen Yi didn't bother himself anymore.
