Chapter 39: The Factory Director (4)

  The people in the repair shop rode one by one, and this unlicensed and unregistered vehicle was ridden to the road by Lin Hongfei.

  The distance from the military division's construction site to the military division's family courtyard was quite far, and at first, Lin Hongfei still had some apprehension in his heart, wondering if he would be stopped by traffic police and have to waste his breath explaining himself. However, after passing several intersections, the traffic police on duty at the intersections directly ignored his existence, and Lin Hongfei finally came to a realization!

  I was worried for nothing!

  Nowadays, motorcycles on the road still enjoy a relatively high status, unlike in later times when they became a standard underprivileged group. No license plate, no certificate, no helmet? None of that matters. All traffic police know that those who can afford to buy a motorcycle at this time are quite capable guys.

  Strictly speaking, riding a motorcycle on the road in this era is absolutely no less cool than driving an open-top BMW Z4 twenty years later. There aren't many BMW Z4s in a city, and similarly, there aren't many high-end motorcycles in a city either.

  Twenty years from now, it's absolutely impossible for a traffic cop to ignore someone driving an open-top sports car. Similarly, in this era, those who can afford to ride those very cool-looking motorcycles, even if they're unlicensed, uninsured, and helmet-less, the traffic cops will do nothing except mutter under their breath "Damn idiot, doesn't even wear a helmet, you'll get yourself killed sooner or later!" which actually represents envy and jealousy.

  Just as Lin Hongfei was leisurely driving on the road at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, two honks sounded from behind.

  What's going on? Lin Hongfei was somewhat amused: What's all this about?

  He really didn't believe there were traffic police who would dare to come looking for trouble with him.

  Looking back through the rearview mirror, a 212 Jeep was following closely behind Lin Hongfei at the same speed. Turning his head to take another look at the license plate, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but laugh: Hey! I didn't expect it to be this guy!

  This guy is a familiar face of Lin Hongfei, Liu Kun, the son of Commander Liu of Beiguan City Military Division. He has been the leader of the military compound since he was a kid and Lin Hongfei took care of him when they were young. Now, two years into his career at the Municipal Agricultural Bank, he is said to be the deputy head of some department, with quite a bit of real power in his hands. His wife and children are living a happy life, enjoying prosperity and success.

  A car pulled over, letting the vehicle drive to the side of the road, then slowed down and stopped by the roadside. Lin Hongfei turned his head and waved at the person in the car, "Kun Ge, where are you going?"

  A Jeep also stopped by the side of the road, and a young man in his late 20s got out. Seeing Lin Hongfei, he was overjoyed and patted him on the chest twice. "Good kid, it's really you!" After that, he looked at Lin Hongfei's car with great interest. "Good kid, this car is too beautiful! Is this the one you've been tinkering with?"

  Men, there is no one who is not interested in cars, whether it's a four-wheeled car or a two-wheeled motorcycle. For this beautiful mechanical beauty, every man has a kind of heartfelt love. The other day, Liu Kun happened to hear that Lin Hongfei was tinkering with making a car himself, not just simply assembling it, but even making the engine himself. At the time, Liu Kun didn't think much of it, but just now on the road, he saw a very stylish but never-before-seen prince's car driving in front of him. Liu Kun, who is also interested in cars, started to take notice and the more he looked, the more he felt that the person in the car looked familiar... Isn't that the young master from Vice Director Liu's family?

  "Yeah, just messing around with nothing to do," Lin Hongfei smiled and nodded, actually feeling quite pleased. What? This little thing, the whole military district's people know about it? But although he was pleased in his heart, Lin Hongfei still had to put on a humble face, "Hehe, yeah, learned something in school, might as well use it... Can't compare with you, your car is fine even on rainy days, but I'm not."

  Strictly speaking, the 212 Jeep, which was designed for off-road use from the very beginning, is not a suitable vehicle for family and city use. It doesn't have power steering, and driving it in the city can be quite tiring. However, in an era where private cars are basically non-existent, having a 212 Jeep as a means of transportation is already a treatment that makes everyone's eyes turn green with envy.

  "You can't say that, this car is from the military district, I'm just temporarily borrowing it, once the troops give an order, I'll have to return the car."

  Some things can be done but not said, such as this 212 Jeep belonging to the Military Division Command. Although Liu Kun's old man is the commander of the military division, he cannot casually give this car to Liu Kun, otherwise it would be a mistake. However, policies are one thing, and methods are another. The car belongs to the Military Division Command, but if Liu Kun borrows it, who can say anything? It's just borrowing, after all, who dares not to give face?

  But this borrowing, everyone actually understands in their hearts, is just an excuse for free long-term use......and doesn't even need to spend one's own money on gas.

  Liu Kun looked at the car next to Lin Hongfei with admiration in his eyes, "Brother, introduce me to this car?" He said with a sigh of emotion, "Damn, it's too beautiful, even more beautiful than the Honda King."

  "This car is much better than Honda Wang, 250 engine, 22 horsepower," Lin Hongfei said with a self-satisfied expression, "I'm not bragging, but compared to this car, Honda Wang is slightly inferior."

  "Really?!" Liu Kun couldn't believe it and took another glance at this three-nothing product, his eyes revealing a skeptical look. "Brother, don't talk nonsense, is it even better than the Honda King? The Honda King costs over 30,000 yuan, and in our company, the boss's son has one of those cars... wow, it's too awesome, the acceleration is incredibly fast."

  "Little Japan can also compare with me?" Lin Hongfei snorted from his nostrils, with a face full of disdain. "This is just because there isn't suitable material at hand, otherwise I could give you an entire straight-four cylinder sports car."

  This kid, talking nonsense. Liu Kun shook his head, full of disbelief. He didn't know that among the world's top 10 engines in 2009, five were manufactured with Lin Hongfei's participation, and he was also a technical consultant for Japan's "Four Great Kings" motorcycles. As for overall vehicle design, he wouldn't dare say, but just talking about engines, in this era, Lin Hongfei claimed to be second, and no one dared claim to be first.
