Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

At this time, they had a better understanding of Prince Sultan's speech. The Saudis used to be very arrogant. Not only did they dislike everyone, but at least they felt very good about themselves, especially the children of the royal family. I believe what I learned this time will definitely play a positive role. The children of the royal family can promote it well when they return, which is definitely a good thing for the development of Saudi science and technology.

Jiro Furujo smiled and said: "Your Highness, there is an industrial machine production line in front of you. Do you want to take a look?"

Even if you are not a professional engaged in industrial production, you know that industrial machine tools are the foundation and core of all machine tools. It can be said to be the mother of industry. The industrial machine of Heiyun Group is very famous in the world. No one can refuse this invitation.

Entering the industrial machine production workshop, although there are not as many machine tools as I just saw. But everyone knows that the sales volume of this product is limited; it is expensive and not everyone can afford it. Moreover, production is extremely complex and requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. At present, there seems to be only one in Saudi Arabia, and it is still at the Heiyun Ground Effect Aircraft Factory. This is enough to explain the problem.

It’s not that the Saudis can’t afford it, it’s just that due to the technical blockade of Batumi, the Saudis were not qualified to buy it. You can buy it from Heiyun Group, but what to produce after buying it is also a headache. Throughout Saudi Arabia, there are no products that require industrial mother machines to be processed. It's actually a bit ridiculous, and the Saudis themselves are blushing.

Seeing Sultan's eyes, the assistant immediately understood what he meant. So he said to Jiro Furujo: "Mr. Furujo, how much is the price of the industrial mother machine?"

His Royal Highness cannot always be allowed to ask questions. His identity is one aspect. The most important thing is to let the old man take a rest. After all, where does his age lie? Although I may not necessarily buy directly when I come here this time, I at least want to find out. Don't go back and ask questions without knowing anything. That would be quite embarrassing.

Even though the children of the Saudi royal family live in luxury when they grow up, they have received a good education since childhood, so they can all master English proficiently. Even if you have not studied abroad, you have been preparing for it since childhood. Therefore, the prince's English proficiency is not bad at all and he can communicate with others skillfully.

Jiro Furujo: "The current price of the basic version of the industrial mother machine is US$12 million; however, it depends on customer demand and the technical difficulty of processing accessories; the configuration will be appropriately improved, and the price will also increase accordingly."

"After all, each customer's requirements are different, so there is no specific price."

To put it bluntly, it accepts private customization from customers, which seems to be very user-friendly.

However, Jiro Furujo's next words disappointed the Saudi prince: "Currently, industrial motherboards are absolutely controlled products, and sales must be reported to Batumi and can only be approved by them."

"The industrial aircraft that Heiyun Group placed at the Saudi ground-effect aircraft factory was often inspected by Batumi personnel."

The meaning is obvious. Even if Saudi Arabia pays for the purchase, Heiyun will not dare to do this business.

Large CNC machine tools, especially involving industrial mother machines. It is definitely the product that Batumi is most closely watching. Although Heiyun Group is a Hong Kong company, Hong Kong is still under the jurisdiction of the British. People under the eaves also have to bow their heads.

But Prince Sultan didn't care about this. The worst he could do was smuggle a few units back. As long as there is a need in the country and Bao Zixuan has it, there will always be a way.

After the transfer to the CNC airport workshop, the Saudi delegation wanted to see the production of home appliances.

In fact, Prince Sultan had a very strong purpose when he came here this time. The military industry has started and the oil industry has become very mature, so it is necessary to develop into the field of people's livelihood.

The Saudi people are rich, that's true. But we have to keep up with life. If we want to satisfy the people, we must make their lives better and better. Only in this way will the royal status be stable. Things that involve the national economy and people's livelihood must not be careless.

Heiyun Group has established a home appliance factory in China, but has not yet taken action in other parts of the world. Compared with computers, home appliances have a wider consumer group; of course, the competition pressure is also greater. But Saudi Arabia only wants to sell in its own country, at most in the Middle East; therefore there is no competition issue.

When they came to the home appliance production workshop, the Saudi delegation understood what assembly line and automated production are.

To say that the industry with the weakest market competitiveness of Heiyun Group is undoubtedly the field of home appliances. Apart from the technical advantages, the TV aspect is passable. Other products simply cannot compete with Japanese and German companies. Of course, this gap is gradually narrowing now. After all, Heiyun Huaxia's mainland factory has been put into production, and the cost has been reduced to a certain extent.

But Bao Zixuan never wants to make cheap products, and relying on price to win is definitely not what he wants. Therefore, the Xiangjiang headquarters factory produces all high-end products; as for low-end products, they are all produced in mainland China.

The labor cost problem in Xiangjiang, coupled with the sales problem of high-end home appliances, makes Heiyun Group dare not blindly expand production capacity. There are very few workers in the workshop, and where machines can be used for production, labor will never be wasted.

The initial investment was very high, but fortunately it has stabilized now; otherwise, it would be difficult for the CEO of the home appliance company to explain it.

Prince Sultan: "There is not a decent home appliance company in Saudi Arabia that can produce electric fans at most. This situation should not be the case; air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and other products must all be produced by ourselves."

This is the rhythm of introducing a production line, but specifically it is to cooperate with Heiyun Group; it is still to let our own company export technology. For Heiyun, this is not a bad thing. Furujo Jiro already understood that the boss asked these rich people to visit freely; he just wanted to attract them with products. It seems that the production line is the favorite of Saudi people.

Any country, even if it is rich now, must definitely consider taking precautions for a rainy day. Apart from oil, Saudi Arabia really has nothing to offer. It seems that this is a big business, and if everything goes well, it may allow Heiyun Group to advance to more than one level in the Middle East.

As a group executive, of course I know what happened in Fucairah. The boss wants to have a stable backyard. Although the country is small, it has achieved its set goals. Then the transfer of production capacity becomes the next issue for the boss to consider.

Fucairah is about the same size as the Xiangjiang River, and part of its territory is desert, so the area that can be used normally is very small. Neighboring Arab countries will inevitably become alternatives.

For products like home appliances that are not taken seriously by the group, it is really a good choice to place them in neighboring countries.

Saudi Arabia has a transcendent status in the Middle East. At least the surrounding Arab countries still believe in this big brother. Home appliances produced in Saudi Arabia should not be a big problem when sold to other surrounding countries.

Furujo Jiro: "Currently, Heiyun Home Appliances, apart from the Xiangjiang headquarters, has only established one factory in mainland China. However, the production capacity of the factory in mainland China is more to meet the needs of the Southeast Asian market."

"The group is also considering establishing a home appliance factory in the Middle East. His Highness the Prince can discuss this with the boss."

Upon hearing this, Prince Sultan immediately became energetic. All projects require investment from the Saudi royal family. Even if they have money, it may not be enough. But if Bao Zixuan is allowed to invest part of the investment, even if it is based on production lines and technology, Saudi Arabia will definitely be able to invest less. Moreover, the other party owns shares; they will definitely be more attentive in terms of technical support and follow-up management. This is also a good thing for business operations.

As for making money, isn’t that the goal of any company that cooperates with you? No matter how you say that Bao Zixuan is his son-in-law, letting Heiyun Group make money is not a waste of money.

Next, the Saudi delegation went to Heiyun Toys Company and saw the children's game console; the adults couldn't put it down, and Prince Sultan also tried a few of them. Due to the special circumstances in the country, the time to build a toy production line is not yet very mature, at least for now, the public cannot accept it.

During dinner time, the Saudi delegation chose to continue the tour, leaving Furujo Jiro not knowing what to say.

In fact, Prince Sultan's intention was very clear, which was to let the delegation experience how people work. Many engineers still choose to work overtime at night, and no one wants to hold back the entire project for the link they are responsible for.

Prince Sultan asked: "Mr. Gucheng, do Heiyun Group have many people working overtime every day?"

Furujo Jiro: “On average, half of the people choose to work overtime every day.”

"Actually, the company does not force overtime, but many projects are very urgent. For example, laptops and Heiyun must be updated once a year. If we don't make progress, our opponents will catch up or even surpass us, so we absolutely dare not slack off at all."

It's not unreasonable for others to succeed, but the Saudis may be too leisurely. This is Prince Sultan's true thought.
