If Yu Zhou's mindset had been relatively stable before, he couldn't help but twitch his eyelids upon seeing these machines.
It wasn't that he found it truly unbelievable, but rather that motorcycle production lines were extremely rare in this era.
Even within the entire country, very few manufacturers possessed motorcycle production lines.
Let alone this production line, which, besides the engine production line, was a complete set of equipment.
Even without the engine production line, an entire production line was astonishing enough.
Yu Zhou couldn't fathom why this production line would appear here, as people capable of acquiring motorcycle production lines abroad in this era shouldn't be considering smuggling them back.
"Indeed, it's good stuff, but unfortunately, it's too difficult to put this good stuff to use."
"The most crucial engine production line is missing, so it can't be utilized to its full potential."
Qin Siyue naturally knew how rare these items were. It could be said that even buying this production line for hundreds of thousands would almost yield profits several times over.
It was just that, with the entire set, the most critical engine production line was absent, making it impossible to produce motorcycles.
If they were to truly proceed, the investment would be enormous, even requiring negotiations with foreign countries for engine technology or direct procurement.
Such a plan was not suitable for Qin Siyue at the moment, nor was it for Yu Zhou.
Yu Zhou knew that Qin Siyue was already tempted upon seeing the production line.
However, he also understood clearly that with his current strength, even with Qin Siyue's full assistance, establishing a motorcycle factory would be too much of a stretch.
There was simply no significant possibility of success. Therefore, even though his heart couldn't help but give up, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret on his face.
Yu Zhou was a businessman, and naturally, he wanted to do business that was grand and impressive.
But unfortunately, this was not realistic.
Turning his head, he ultimately couldn't linger on the production line.
He could only secretly marvel in his heart at the power of this dock and how the Fùjùn province truly possessed an unparalleled advantage in maritime transport.
"What kind of physical business do you think we should do? There are various equipment here as well. If you want to start preparing to produce something now, I can help lower the equipment prices to the absolute minimum."
"Of course, as you said before, it's 51% for you and 49% for me, and the investment should also be in this proportion."
After a tour, Qin Siyue whispered to Yu Zhou.
Clearly, she was somewhat impatient to transition.
After all, while this kind of buying and selling was indeed profitable, it was somewhat looked down upon in this era.
However, physical enterprises were completely different. Especially after the reform, everyone took pride in being a factory owner.
If she truly wanted to, she could acquire factories anywhere in the eastern region.
But Qin Siyue herself didn't know how to manage a business. Even if she could learn, at the moment, she couldn't wholeheartedly dedicate herself to transforming her career into a physical enterprise.
Yu Zhou, on the other hand, was different. Firstly, he was a laid-off factory worker. Secondly, he had capital and was intelligent.
Such a person was like a partner bestowed upon her by heaven.
Otherwise, why would Qin Siyue abandon her own lucrative business to collaborate with Yu Zhou?
It was worth noting that she had agreed to share a portion with Yu Zhou at customs.
Even though this portion would be a mere fraction of the whole, being able to get a slice of such a business was an unimaginable good thing for Yu Zhou at this time.
Whether it was a lot of money or a little didn't matter; it was a genuine opportunity that countless people might seek after.
"I think this equipment looks good. If we were to do something, we could set up a factory to produce it."
Yu Zhou pointed at the equipment next to the large warehouse, speaking casually.
In fact, when he agreed to cooperate with Qin Siyue, he had already begun thinking about what would be the best thing to do.
Not many ideas came to mind in the end, but the main direction was already set.
"What is this? Beverage production equipment? Why do you suddenly want to make beverages?"
Upon seeing the series of equipment, Qin Siyue became somewhat flustered.
Beverages had not yet fully developed in China at this time.
Most beverages were imported, and even if not, domestic beverages in the mainland market were monopolized by Jianlibao.
How could such a nearly impenetrable industry be so easily established?
Moreover, the cost required for such an enterprise was extremely terrifying.
Qin Siyue couldn't imagine what Yu Zhou was thinking, wanting to venture into beverages.
"Don't rush. Who said I want to make beverages? But you must acquire the equipment first, so we can minimize costs as much as possible."
"We need to find out the total cost. I already have a plan in mind."
Yu Zhou smiled mysteriously, not revealing the answer directly at this moment.
He actually had some backup plans in mind, but he still needed to consider whether these plans were suitable.
However, this didn't prevent him from wanting to acquire the equipment, because doing so, at present, seemed...
"Section Chief Zhang, how much do you need for this batch of equipment?"
"This time, we're not reselling; we want to produce it ourselves, so please give us a realistic price..."
As expected of Qin Siyue, her words immediately changed Section Chief Zhang's expression.
After a moment of thought, he finally said.
"Two hundred thousand! I can make the decision for this batch of equipment, and you can take it all for two hundred thousand!"
"I wouldn't be able to explain it if it were any lower."
He said this price with trepidation.
After all, he was facing Qin Siyue.
However, this was a situation where there was no other option.
Because equipment was completely different from ordinary seized goods. Some items could be sold cheaply for a symbolic amount and be done with.
But this seized equipment was the focus of the entire customs.
If you sold it too easily and it was inconsistent with its value,
In such a situation, he, as a section chief, would have to face consequences, and even stepping down wouldn't be impossible.
However, upon hearing the price, Yu Zhou became excited.
A spark of fervor flashed in his eyes. He could never have imagined such a low price before.
It wasn't for nothing that information asymmetry was also frustrating.
The current Yu Zhou was suffering from information asymmetry.
