Reborn Tycoon Rise

Xu Zhi himself does not care about this so-called pension policy, because during the domestic pension reform in the 1990s, all foreign companies will transfer pension responsibilities to the government pension pooling fund by making capital contributions.

But the fundamental purpose of cooperating with state-owned enterprises and mobilizing their employees is to curb the ethos of some mainland workers. Most state-owned enterprise workers in this era despise all other groups, and because they cannot be dismissed from their jobs, their positions can still be retained. Passing it on to future generations, they will not look down upon anyone except their superiors. This trend will not disappear until the 1990s.

Later generations of SAIC-Volkswagen actually used this method to recruit employees with excellent attitudes from various state-owned enterprises with higher salaries, and those who were unqualified were directly returned. Although the cost will be higher, the labor in the mainland will not be enough. Doubling it is nothing.

The most important thing is to be able to select qualified employees, improve product quality, and improve production efficiency.

"This method seems to be possible. It is similar to the outsourcing policies of some American companies. However, our truck factory has at least several thousand employees. Isn't it okay to use this method?" He Jun asked: "And can the mainland government agree to this method?" Way?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "This is just a suggestion. You can decide what to do when the time comes. Some small things that may seem small to Westerners may be big things in the mainland, so you must pay attention.

China should be more concerned about the process of localization of parts and components. I personally agree with this aspect, but you need to use this as a condition to persuade other demands that make us have difficulties. "

"Understood." He Jun nodded.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Then you go and rest first. We can discuss the specific details later during the negotiations. I will return to Xiangjiang in a few days, but if I encounter something very difficult to make, I must make a decision immediately. contact me."

"Okay, I'll leave first." He Jun stood up and then left the room.

There must be a lot of details in domestic negotiations. It would be an exaggeration to estimate that the document is higher than all the negotiators. Volkswagen and SAIC negotiated for 6 years before finally finalizing the coffin. In 6 years, they talked with the German government 35 times, and negotiated with Volkswagen. 29 times, and the oil crisis also caused Volkswagen to want to withdraw from the cooperation. If it were not for the unremitting efforts of a group of domestic people, I am afraid that the Santana may not be possible.

Xu Zhi has solved the most important foreign exchange balance issue for Mark Company, and has also taken the initiative to put forward domestic requirements for the localization of parts and components. With the two core issues solved, other aspects will naturally be much faster.

In fact, during the reform and opening up, the central government began to require truck cooperation, not cars, in the cooperation plan for automobiles. At present, the domestic economy is developing rapidly, and the requirements for trucks are getting higher and higher. The traditional Jiefang and Dongfeng can no longer meet domestic demand. Importing complete vehicles and using the SKD model will consume a lot of foreign exchange. As long as Mark's project is established, it will definitely not be a problem to occupy the domestic truck market without wasting the country's foreign exchange. There will be opportunities to enter other fields in the future.

Of course, this was a sure thing in the 1980s and 1990s. As for how Mark will develop after the 21st century, it depends on his future capabilities.

…

That night, the reception banquet specially prepared by the city government for the American Mark Company was still held in the Peace Hotel. At this time, the mainland officials did not fully understand the capitalist society, and the reception was only a banquet.

The next morning, the two parties did not immediately start business negotiations. Instead, under the arrangement of the city government, a group of Mark's engineers were arranged to go to the Shanghai No. 1 Machinery Processing Factory for inspection. This was also some of the prerequisites for formal negotiations. The U.S. side It is necessary to have a detailed understanding of the domestic industrial level in order to arrange investment plans based on the actual situation.

If the domestic machining capabilities are strong, then Mark Company can easily find local suppliers. If not, it will need to invest more funds to enter the field of basic parts processing.

"Mr. Xu, this machine is not very safe. It's better for you to stay away." Wang Weide reminded him immediately when he saw Xu Zhi approaching a rotating machine.

"It's okay. I know this is a lathe. I'm not in the direction of the rotation axis and I'm not close to it. Everything will be fine." Xu Zhi said with a smile. He also worked in a machinery factory before traveling through time, although he never operated it. Lathe, but I still understand the basics.

As Xu Zhi, he did not need to come to inspect this kind of factory. However, Xu Zhi suddenly wanted to see the mechanical level of the country in this era, so he specifically asked to come with him. Wang Weide, as the secretary arranged by a senior city official, naturally also wanted to come with him. You have to follow. Because of Xu Zhi's "willfulness", the city government also sent a deputy mayor to accompany him.

"How is it? Can the accuracy meet the requirements?" Xu Zhi walked up to a blond foreigner and asked in English.

Although Xu Zhi himself is prepared to invest heavily in localizing parts, he hopes to focus on the somewhat difficult precision machining, rather than producing all parts of the truck himself.

Under the modern business system, products such as trucks and cars have already been fully OEM-based. Generally, powerful companies also produce core components, such as the three major parts. Under normal circumstances, automobile companies are mainly responsible for Design, assembly, sales, and after-sales are four areas, and other important parts companies are mainly invested in shares.

The machine tool in front of him is one of the equipment imported from Japan in the state-owned factory in the past two years. It is considered the most sophisticated equipment in the factory. If it still fails, Xu Zhi will have to invest heavily in building a general accessories processing factory.

"It's okay, the dimensions have met the tolerance requirements." Mark's chief engineer Thomas has checked the processing results of several equipment and replied with certainty: "But these are ordinary lathes and milling machines, not CNC equipment, processing It’s so inefficient!”

"Don't worry, everyone. Our factory has people and machines running all the time to ensure that we can complete the orders arranged by your company." Chen Mingzhong, the director of the First Machinery Factory, immediately assured him after listening to the interpreter who accompanied him.

He knew that this was a large truck factory that was about to invest in Shanghai. Once the order was obtained, the machine factory's difficulties would be solved immediately, and the other party's method of payment was most likely to be foreign exchange. Although it must be handed over according to the policy, as long as it can Earning foreign exchange is a credit, and it will be much easier to apply for foreign exchange in the future.

"Director Chen, you don't have enough equipment in your factory." Xu Zhi said with a smile. Although this is the first machinery factory in Shanghai, although it is said to be a machinery factory, in fact, there are not many real mechanical processing equipments. Many others are It's an old machine, and it runs fine, but the accuracy doesn't meet the requirements.

As for the other workshop, Xu Zhi also took a look at it when he visited the outside of the workshop earlier. There were hundreds of work tables, with two workers on each table, a vise in front of him, and hammers, files, and saws all on the table. Some workers were busy, obviously processing various parts.

There are not enough machines to make up for it, which is actually the epitome of the mechanical processing industry in this era. In terms of accuracy, except for some imported equipment, most of them can't compare with manual labor, so level 8 fitters are very popular.

Theoretically, a powerful fitter can control the accuracy better than some precision machining equipment, but the efficiency is too low and is obviously not suitable for mass production. It is said that many parts of the "Shanghai brand" cars are hand-processed by advanced fitters.

"Mr. Xu, I wonder if Mark Company can invest in the First Machinery Factory? In this way, the machinery factory can have foreign exchange to purchase advanced equipment, and Mark Company can also obtain a qualified parts supplier. Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone? ?" Deputy Mayor Qi Lin, who was sent by the city government to accompany Xu Zhi, suddenly said.
