Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't feel particularly comfortable when he thinks of this, especially those countries and companies that earn a lot of RMB in China, but later turn around and badmouth China internationally.

It's just like those celebrities in Taiwan who always say good things about China every time they come to Taiwan. They don't turn around and scold China as soon as they return to Taiwan.

Jin Xiaoqiang has never been kind to such a bastard who picks up his chopsticks to eat and puts them down to curse.

Anyway, they can get a lot of RMB from the Tianchao pit every year. It doesn't matter if they get some back for the people of Tianchao. Anyway, these contracts are signed between you and me. I don't hold a gun against those customer representatives.

He asked them to sign a contract with him.

It is better to trick foreigners like this than to produce hundreds of millions of shirts and socks for consumption by these ghosts and get back a pile of waste paper.

After finalizing the contract with Dürr, Jin Xiaoqiang's procurement task in Germany was completed. The next step was to negotiate with ABB Company in Sweden.

Sweden's abb company was formed in 1988 from the merger of two century-old companies, Sweden's Assia and Switzerland's Brännbaffari.

The ABB Group is also one of the world's top 500 companies and a big player in the field of electronic automation.

In fact, Americans are obviously doing better in electrical automation, especially General Electric. Unfortunately, the Americans have always been very hostile to China. Jin Xiaoqiang was afraid that if he went to the United States, not only would he not be able to purchase equipment, but he would also be raped by the CIA.

It wouldn't be worth it if he invited someone to drink coffee and then labeled himself a commercial espionage, so in the end he decided to choose ABB Company.

After all, ABB's products are not much worse than those of General Electric, and the most important thing is that their prices are more affordable than those of Yankees.

After the merger, the headquarters of ABB Group was located in Zurich. After Jin Xiaoqiang and Alice left Germany, they went straight to Zurich.

Also before coming, Jin Xiaoqiang had already asked Alice to contact Abb for a long time, and both parties had already understood each other's intentions.

So after arriving in Zurich, Jin Xiaoqiang was not polite to the people of Abb Group. After briefly explaining his requirements, he asked the other party to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

Abb Group has done many welding production lines like this for automobile manufacturers around the world, with an annual output of about 250,000 vehicles.

So after listening to Jin Xiaoqiang's request, the other party quickly came up with a robotic welding line system previously designed for Saab.

Jin Xiaoqiang took a look and found that this system could fully meet his requirements, and there was still a lot of room for expansion and upgrade in the future.

The main welding line has a total of 20 stations, with 23 to 40 robots responsible for drilling holes or welding. The body synthesis system is the body synthesis fixture of ABB's specialty Feamer system.

Under the control of the computer in the mechanized assembly line, this system can automatically complete the assembly of the left and right sides into the assembly fixture, the floor assembly positioning fixture, and the roof assembly positioning fixture.

Moreover, the robot's control is very precise and can be controlled within 0.2 mm, and it can switch models within 10 seconds.

In short, in order to satisfy Jin Xiaoqiang, the Swedes did not hide it. It can be said that they brought out all the mainstream tools of the world's automobile manufacturing companies.

Jin Xiaoqiang was very satisfied with the other party's sincerity, so the two parties quickly signed a contract. The total price of this production line was approximately US$15 million.

Similarly, Jin Xiaoqiang also signed a long-term supply contract with the other party. Once there is a need, the other party must provide the same amount of machinery and equipment at the current price.

The Swedes had made money, so of course they were very polite to Jin Xiaoqiang, and Jin Xiaoqiang's request was not excessive. Who told them to quote a high price when they quoted this price?

Who made Jin Xiaoqiang look like a victim in their eyes?

At the same time, Jin Xiaoqiang also imported a batch of tools for car edges from ABB. The Swedes also quoted a price of three million US dollars, and Jin Xiaoqiang took it without even asking for the price.

Although the US dollar is depreciating these days, it is not depreciating that much globally, so it still has considerable purchasing power in Europe.

After settling these rough contracts, Jin Xiaoqiang took Alice around Europe. For example, he also went to the Czech Republic, where he purchased a robot gluing system near the Skoda headquarters, and also purchased many other products.

Car manufacturing equipment.

In fact, when it comes to making precision machinery, the craftsmanship of the Czechs is not much worse than that of the Germans. However, because this country is too small, its international influence is almost unknown, so their products are less famous.

A lot.

In fact, their products, especially precision products, are sufficient for building cars unless they require high precision, such as building airplanes, atomic bombs, submarines, etc.

In fact, in later generations, many military-industrial enterprises in the Chinese Empire bought a lot of good stuff from countries like the Czech Republic and Ukraine as technical reserves.

After going around Europe like this, Jin Xiaoqiang's purchase was basically completed, but after this round, he probably spent about 70 million US dollars.

And if the machinery and equipment he purchased are in place, then a factory with an annual output of 250,000 cars will basically be formed.

At the beginning, Jin Xiaoqiang did not dare to set his goals too high. He knew that the development situation of China's automobile industry in the past few years would be a blowout. He, a fledgling young man, could lead a company to enter this market.

That's good, he didn't want to become fat after one bite.

Even Rich Automobile, which later became known as the largest independent brand in the industry in China, only achieved annual production and sales of 100,000 vehicles by the end of 2005.

This trip cost 70 million US dollars. In total, in RMB, according to the current fixed exchange rate of 8.2, this has already cost 500-600 million RMB.

For now, no domestic car company, whether independent or state-owned, dares to invest as much as he does and buy production lines like crazy.

In terms of the world price level in 2003, the purchasing power of these more than 70 million US dollars was quite acceptable, because the US dollar at that time was not as worthless as the US dollar in later generations.

Ten years later, if he wanted to purchase these equipment again, Jin Xiaoqiang expected that he would have to spend at least twice as much money as he does now.

The most cost-effective part of these transactions is, of course, the ancillary contracts signed with those suppliers, which is a huge pit.

In fact, it cannot be said that these manufacturers are short-sighted, but none of them would have expected that just a few years later, the RMB would appreciate so much, while the US dollar would shrink so much.

And according to the contract they signed with Jin Xiaoqiang, if the U.S. dollar does not depreciate and the RMB does not appreciate, their contracts will leave them with a large profit margin.

It's a pity that they are not reborn people like Jin Xiaoqiang with two lifetimes of experience, so they can only jump into the big hole dug by Jin Xiaoqiang. As for whether they can climb up in the next few years, it depends on their own abilities.

, and Jin Xiaoqiang’s mood.

After finishing the purchase, it was already November and winter had entered Europe. Jin Xiaoqiang had no intention of staying in Europe for long. At this time, he was still thinking about the new car he designed.

So even though Alice cast a murderous look at him every time, Jin Xiaoqiang chose to turn a blind eye and forcefully asked Alice to book a flight and return to China.

He returned to China this time not only to see the new car he designed, but also because he wanted to continue to imitate several new cars.

Judging from the current automobile market, it is not enough for his company to launch only one new car next year. He must continue his efforts and quickly occupy some new pitfalls, so that those who are latecomers can only follow his own path.

Ashes on the back of the butt.

Otherwise, those large automobile companies are quite efficient. Once they realize that they are a dark horse entering the automobile market, they will quickly speed up their original research and development plans and come up with new models to compete with their own cars.

, when the time comes, many good themes that can be copied will be turned into nothing.

Jin Xiaoqiang didn't want to spend several years fighting a patent lawsuit with the other party.

When the plane arrived in Nanyang City, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Jin Xiaoqiang did not send Alice back to the hotel where they had stayed for a long time, but went directly to the gear factory.

Alice has long been used to her workaholic boss. To be honest, she was a little angry and even resentful that Jin Xiaoqiang would not let her travel in Europe.

After all, as a new-age woman who has been influenced by European and American ideas for a long time, she still has a lot of yearning for Europe.

But when she saw Jin Xiaoqiang's workaholic attitude, she was also very happy. This meant that she had not chosen the wrong person. Jin Xiaoqiang was a piece of pure gold. His vigorous and resolute work attitude, coupled with his

Ability, Alice believes that Jin Xiaoqiang will become a star in the automobile industry sooner or later.

Isn't it a blessing to be able to grow up with a legend?

The two took a taxi to the gear factory. Unexpectedly, there was also a group of people in the gear factory who were not off work. When Jin Xiaoqiang led Alice to the door of their automobile testing room, Alice was stunned!

A black streamlined black car that is elegant and domineering, feminine but not lacking in masculine beauty is quietly lying at the door of the laboratory!!!

This! Is this the car we produce?
