reborn industrial empire

Thanks to Zhumo and Luc Besson for their rewards and I, Sheng Xiaoxiao, for urging me to update. I can still eat this update...

*********

Especially after seeing that Jin Xiaoqiang and the others actually built a car that was purely their own intellectual property, Liu Heming admired Jin Xiaoqiang even more.

Liu Heming belongs to that kind of technical official. Before he became the director of Nanyang City Planning Bureau, he had been engaged in planning and design, and he himself is also a senior car enthusiast.

Although he is older, his thinking is not old or rigid, and the most important thing is that he is not very superstitious about foreign things. He does not believe that the moon in foreign countries must be rounder than the moon in China.

He had nothing to do during this time, so he went to Jin Xiaoqiang's factory. Apart from calling Liu Mei and his daughter every day, he spent the rest of his time in Jin Xiaoqiang's experimental site.

Although he doesn't know much about car technology, he likes to drive, especially manual transmission cars. During this period, he comes to Jin Xiaoqiang's factory to drive a 1.6 manual transmission car every day, which is his pleasure.

.

Because Liu Heming is very likely to become his future father-in-law, Jin Xiaoqiang will certainly not have any objections to him. Seeing that he likes the car they built so much, he even planned to give one to Liu Heming directly. Unfortunately, Liu Heming insisted in the end.

He said that he could just come and have fun every day, but that's why he didn't give it away.

Under Liu Heming's interest and Jin Xiaoqiang's deliberate flattery, the relationship between the two got along very harmoniously.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Jin Xiaoqiang gave Alice a holiday as soon as she got off the plane and asked her to go home to visit her relatives. During this time, Alice really helped him a lot.

At the beginning, Jin Xiaoqiang still had some thoughts about her, but now, he had to face up to this woman's ability. She was indeed one of those kind of very spiritual subordinates, a smart person who could understand everything with just one click.

This woman helped Jin Xiaoqiang a lot.

Alice has been helping Jin Xiaoqiang in the mainland for two months. During this time, she has not had much time to go home to visit. Now that she has time, Jin Xiaoqiang will of course give her a holiday.

After Alice left, Jin Xiaoqiang took Liu Heming directly to St. Mary's Hospital, where Chu Hongxia is currently undergoing final rehabilitation physical therapy.

After all, she once had a cerebral hemorrhage and was in a coma. She lay in bed for several months and her muscles atrophied. This was a good time to recover.

When Jin Xiaoqiang and Liu Heming rushed to St. Mary's Hospital and saw Liu Mei's mother and daughter standing at the door of the ward staring at each other, Liu Heming rushed forward and hugged his wife and daughter. The family of three hugged each other and cried on the spot.

The ordeal during this period caused the family to suffer a lot. Liu Heming also felt deep self-blame when he was quarantined and under investigation.

What are you trying to do? Why did you oppose Xie Shengli in such a high-profile manner?

But after thinking about it, he still felt that his decision was correct. By not allowing the Xinghe Village Industrial Park to be launched, he was responsible for the eight million citizens of Nanyang City.

After all, according to Xie Shengli's idea, a new industrial zone will be built somewhere. He even shouted the slogan of turning Nanyang City into the Ruhr Industrial Zone of China.

However, he ignored the issue of location selection for this industrial zone. After all, Xinghe Village is located in the north of Nanyang City, and Nanyang City has northwest winds blowing for six to seven months out of the year.

Once the industrial park is completed, the waste gas and waste water generated by the industrial park will greatly pollute the living environment of the people of Nanyang City. In Liu Heming's opinion, such a face-saving and head-patting project must not be launched.

Fortunately, now that x has cleared his name, Xie Shengli can no longer control the sky in Nanyang City, and he won't be able to stay around for a few days.

Seeing this family reunited with the joy of surviving the disaster, Jin Xiaoqiang felt sour in his heart.

After staying in Hong Kong for a few days, Jin Xiaoqiang took Alice and flew directly to Europe. The scale and items they wanted to purchase this time were relatively large, so it was not cost-effective to find these companies' agents in China. It was better to go directly to the headquarters to negotiate.

Relatively cost-effective.

First of all, their first stop is Germany. Many German machines are very popular in China, and the reputation of the Germans is indeed guaranteed. However, the price is not very cheap, but now Jin Xiaoqiang has money in his pocket.

, not short of money!

Their first stop was Friesenheim in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany, where the first company they wanted to visit was German Kohler Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

When it comes to Kohler Co., many people think of the famous Kohler Co. from Wisconsin, USA, which specializes in ceramics and sanitary ware.

But this time, the Kohler company that Jin Xiaoqiang and the others were visiting was not Piccolo. The American Kohler company specializes in the production of ceramics and sanitary ware, while the company they visited specializes in the production of straightening machines and calibrating machines.

A specialized machinery manufacturing company for flat machines, and stamping feed line equipment.

Also learn that this Kohler Company is not as famous as the Kohler Company in the United States, but in terms of straightening machines and stamping and feeding line equipment, this Kohler Company is much more famous in the industry than that Kohler Company.

.

In later generations, many Chinese independent brand car companies said that the stamping and feeding equipment they used came from this company, even the car company where Jin Xiaoqiang worked.

Their procurement work, of course, starts from the first step of manufacturing a car, which is straightening the plate, uncoiling and blanking, and stamping and feeding.

You must know that when manufacturing cars, the purchased steel plates are rolled into a large roll like paper. This large 'roll' needs to be opened mechanically and then straightened and leveled, and then sent to be stamped and dropped.

The material line is sent to stamping.

Moreover, the maximum production rhythm of the opponent's uncoiling and blanking line can reach 60 times/min, and the maximum production rhythm of the uncoiling and shearing line can reach 110 times/min. Such speeds are quite impressive in the industry.

This is also the main reason why Jin Xiaoqiang comes to Kohler to purchase.

Before coming, Jin Xiaoqiang had already asked Alice to get in touch with the other party, and in the past few months, they had been in contact by phone or email, bargaining, etc.

The previous preparations have been almost done, and both parties are basically satisfied with the other party's conditions. This time Jin Xiaoqiang came here just to pay, and then the other party will organize production and start delivery in March next year.

.

When Jin Xiaoqiang and Alice arrived at Friesenheim, the other party had already sent someone to wait here, picked them up directly, and took them straight to the company. It has to be said that the efficiency of the Germans is to do things directly and at high speed.

Now, under the guidance of the sales manager sent by the company who thought it was important, they walked around their factory and then went to the production line to have a look.

Finally, the other party brought Jin Xiaoqiang to the conference room, and then invited engineers from the factory to ask Jin Xiaoqiang to put forward the requirements. Then the engineers designed a new production line directly according to Jin Xiaoqiang's ideas.

From the previous contacts with the other party, I also felt that Jin Xiaoqiang did not look like a deceitful person, and he came to China. In recent years, the speed of China's economic development has been noticed by the German side, and Kohler Company is also thinking about it.

To expand business in Tianchao, who would have thought that Jin Xiaoqiang would be the first to come over at this time.

Jin Xiaoqiang is also a refreshing person. At this time, he did not want to dwell too much on the details and directly stated his requirements. The engineers on the other side quickly came to a conclusion according to Jin Xiaoqiang's requirements. After all, they had also done so before.

I have done such a design.

After looking at several previously used design plans presented by the other party, Jin Xiaoqiang selected one that he was very satisfied with, and then asked the other party to quote directly.

The Germans were not polite and directly quoted a price of US$25 million. Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang refused to give in. Of course, after several rounds of bargaining, the final price was set at US$18 million, and the other party would also send engineers.

I went to Tianchao and was responsible for installation, technical training, maintenance training, etc.

Moreover, Jin Xiaoqiang was not polite to the other party. He signed a guarantee contract with the other party. Then if he wanted to expand the production scale in the future, he must continue to purchase products from German Kohler, but for a production line of the same scale, the other party's quotation would not be allowed.

higher than the current offer of 18 million.

If one party breaches the contract, it must compensate the other party with high liquidated damages in accordance with the contract.

Both parties were very satisfied with this contract. Jin Xiaoqiang received a leveling line and feeding line with an annual output of 250,000 vehicles, while the other party received 18 million and a long-term contract.

Although Jin Xiaoqiang also knows that the other party's offer is not low, he now has U.S. dollars in hand, and over time, or even in the next few years, U.S. dollars will not be exchanged. The purchase now would cost 18 million U.S. dollars.

If we wait a few years, we may need 25 million, maybe even 30 million US dollars.

So with the protection of this current contract, it will be almost impossible for the other party to quote high prices for their products in the next few years. You must know that the amount of liquidated damages in this contract is enough to bankrupt this company.

So at present, it seems that this company has taken advantage, but in fact they have suffered a big loss.

How could the other party take advantage in a fight with a reborn person like Jin Xiaoqiang?

On the day he settled the contract with Kohler and paid a deposit of three million US dollars, Jin Xiaoqiang did not choose to stay too long in this city. He still had more companies to visit.

Although Alice was very eager to visit Europe, in the end, under Jin Xiaoqiang's coercion and inducement, she left this small city and went straight to Stuttgart, where they were going to visit the German industrial giant, Bosch.
