Although the European economy has seen some vigorous upward trends due to the emergence of the euro, overall, it is undoubtedly still on the decline. The aging population, external influence and competitiveness are all different. declined to a certain extent.

Although after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Eastern European countries returned to Europe, which caused the EU's territory to grow significantly, the economic gap between Eastern European countries and Western European countries cannot be caught up in a moment. The economic level of these countries , has undoubtedly dragged down the overall development of the EU. The sudden Southeast Asian financial crisis has had an impact on the European economy that has not been eliminated to this day.

On the other hand, although the United States and Japan are facing similar difficulties as Europe, the economic development conditions of the two countries are much better than that of Europe. A large part of this is because the United States and Japan have little influence on the Chinese market. The occupation of China is earlier than that of Europe! The two countries occupy the top two places in China's import and export trade, thereby seeking more benefits for their country with the help of China's rapid economic development.

European countries actually want to enter the Chinese market, but first of all, European countries have more or less unfriendly pasts with China. Among them, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands and other countries have invaded China. secondly, the economic status of European countries has declined significantly compared to the beginning. If it cannot appear in the overall image of the European Union, the gap in economic strength with the United States and Japan is getting wider and wider. On the contrary, some emerging developing countries have a tendency to catch up. Thirdly, without the international status of the United States as the world's largest economic and military power, and without Japan's understanding of Chinese culture and market, they want to compete in China. It’s not that easy to get a share of the market!

As an old aristocratic family in Europe, the Welf family can be said to have family businesses all over Europe. If you include related companies, the number is even more amazing, involving all aspects of society. If we can open up trade channels with China , the profits earned every year will be amazing.

Milot Friedrich Welf came to South Korea to seek an audience with Fang Mingyuan this time, not only to settle the bet between Georg and Fang Mingyuan, but also to tentatively further contact Fang Mingyuan and obtain more first-hand information. , to determine Fang Mingyuan’s attitude towards the Welf family. The Germans also understand the truth that is easy to understand on paper.

Fang Mingyuan was also thinking about the purpose of Milot Friedrich Welf's visit, just for the bet between himself and Georg and asking himself if he was interested in taking a stake in the Preston Steel Plant? This was also what he was thinking about. After pondering for a long time, there was no answer.

Although, in his previous life, he knew the Rothschild family among the established families in Europe, this was because in the United States before World War II. There was a classic saying to describe the situation in the United States at that time - "The Democratic Party belongs to the Morgans." Family, and the Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family..." Later, Fang Mingyuan learned that this sentence should actually be followed by "And both Rockefeller and Morgan once belonged to the Rothschilds!"

As for the Welf family, they only learned about it after the conflict with Georg. But Fang Mingyuan also understood that the situation of the Welf family that he knew was definitely not the most realistic situation of the Welf family. Europe

The complex business relationships, interpersonal relationships and genealogy can make outsiders dizzy. In his previous life, he was just a small and semi-otaku, and he understood the principle of cunning rabbits and three burrows. He also retained a huge amount of capital for the Fang family overseas.

How could a family that has survived in Europe for centuries or even longer not understand this truth?

Sure enough, it was not what he expected. The British LT Shipbuilding Group Company was a company whose name he had never even heard of. But since it had a steel plant under its name, it was conceivable that the scale would not be small. The Welf family would not

Silently, they controlled 71% of the company! With absolute control, where the Preston Steel Plant will move and who it will cooperate with is not a matter of words for the Welf family.

The new steel plant that was completed and put into operation in 1995 has only been in operation for five or six years. For the steel industry, it can be called a new plant. Moreover, this is a professional shipbuilding steel plate factory.

The arrival of the manufacturing plant will not only expand steel production capacity for China, but more importantly, it will bring new technologies! This is what Fang Mingyuan values ​​​​the most.

However, when such a steel plant was presented to Fang Mingyuan, he had to think about the meaning behind the Welf family's move. If the Preston Steel Plant showed its intention to move to China, it must be in the coastal areas of China

All the officials would break their heads over it, so why did they need to tell themselves in advance? As for what Milot said about the convenience of the Proston Steel Plant being located in Lianjiang Kemen Port, those are not important. Proston

If the quality of the steel factory's products is really good, in East Asia, where the shipbuilding industry is booming, and in China, where the supply of steel exceeds demand, there is no need to worry about sales at all!

"Milo, if Preston Steel Plant is really as you said, able to provide high-strength marine steel plates for the three major ship types, Guo's Shipping Group Company certainly welcomes you to provide products to the shipyard. Moreover, I

I believe that the local government will also welcome your arrival. Moreover, if you hope to enter into a joint venture, I think there will be many state-owned steel companies for you to choose from." Fang Mingyuan looked directly into Welf's eyes and said, "

It seems that your family does not need to cooperate with me specifically.

"No, no, no, this is different!" Welf stretched out his index finger and flexibly waved it in the air, "Fang, please don't be angry if I say anything extreme. I just want to tell you truthfully,

How do we Europeans feel about your government and state-owned enterprises?" Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly and made a gesture to say please.

"I believe your government sincerely welcomes us. I believe your steel companies also sincerely welcome us. However, I have to say that although their welcome is important, it is not Proston's.

The main reason why the steel plant can operate successfully and achieve results that satisfy us! And I heard that in your country’s state-owned steel enterprises, most people are doing nothing, and there are too few people who are actually doing work! Such an enterprise, even if it is

No matter how cheap the labor cost is, it is impossible to create brilliant results!" Welf said seriously, "We don't want the Preston Steel Plant to fall to that point in the future! That would make our Welf family

Becoming the laughing stock of others."

Fang Mingyuan's face was slightly hot. Although Welf didn't speak very clearly, he understood what Welf meant. Now that the Fang family can be considered a member of the steel industry, they are naturally concerned about the current situation of China's steel industry.

There is a profound understanding. Compared with the steel industry abroad, the per capita steel production of China's steel industry is not only far behind that of developed countries in the world, but also has a huge disadvantage compared with Russia!

There is a saying in later generations - "China used one million steel workers to produce 15% of the world's steel production. The remaining 85% of the world's steel was produced by 1.3 million people in developed countries.

"!" Fang Mingyuan didn't know whether the data was so accurate, but he now knew that the per capita steel production in China's steel industry was currently only about 30% of the world average, and each ton of steel consumed

Working hours are more than six times higher than those in developed countries. It can be said that there is basically no competitive advantage in production costs. If it is not for environmental protection standards and worker wages. There is a huge gap with developed countries in the world. Most steel plants in China are

The cost price of the steel produced is higher than the imported price from abroad.

The Fang family's Liao Province Steel Plant has no historical baggage because it is a new steel plant. Moreover, from the beginning when the plant was built, Fang Mingyuan followed the standards of Japanese steel plants. So so far, the per capita steel production

The production volume is somewhat higher than the world average, but compared with Japanese and Korean steel companies, there is still a certain gap. However, considering the huge income gap among workers in the three countries, the profit rate of Liao Province Steel Plant is no better than that of Japan.

It is worse than Korean steel companies.

However, the Qinxi Rolling Equipment Plant is far inferior to the Liaoning Steel Plant in this regard. If it were not for the fact that the Liaoning Steel Plant absorbed a large number of employees from the Qinxi Rolling Equipment Plant during its operation, its current

The number of employees will not drop to the current level. This ensures that its per capita steel production, although not reaching the world average, is much higher than the domestic average. This is why the Fang family is confident

This gives workers the confidence to earn wages at the Liaoning Iron and Steel Plant and the Qinxi Calendering Equipment Plant that are nearly 30 to 50 percent higher than those in the same industry in the two places!

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Miluo, your family really looks up to our Fang family!"

Welf also smiled and said: "Fang, to move the Preston Steel Plant to your country, we will have to pay a lot of expenses in the early stage, and we also have to appease the British government and those workers. All these expenses, we hope to be able to pay from them in the future.

Preston Steel Works has been rewarded in its performance. If, after all the hard work and scolding we have received, all we get is a company whose performance is slightly better than what it was in the UK, why should we?

To be honest, we, the Welf family, look down upon the management level of many companies in your country! And we have also investigated your family’s two steel plants before. Although, the data we obtained

It is not comprehensive or timely, but we still believe that the management level of your two steel plants has basically reached the world average level, which is much higher than the domestic average level of your country. Although, compared with the top steel companies

, compared with Posco in South Korea, there is still a certain gap, but your country’s sufficient human resources are enough to make up for this!"

Fang Mingyuan grinned secretly. He didn't know whether this person should be considered a German or an Austrian. He was really direct in his speech! However, that was okay, he didn't like the roundabout way of speaking!

Although Welf showed nakedly that the Preston Steel Plant moved to China just to make money and pursue higher profit margins, Fang Mingyuan felt that this was his true temperament. Foreigners are not Bethune.

, traveled all the way to China to contribute to the officials of China.

"Furthermore, Fang, we also hope to take this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for more cooperation between our Welf family and your family in the future!" Welf said softly, "The head of the family is looking forward to the cooperation between our two families in the future.

There will be more and more in-depth cooperation and we will work together towards a better future."

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Welf had thought deeply before coming. The last sentence was in line with what Chinese people often say in public.

"Thank you. I also look forward to having more and better cooperation opportunities between the two of us. We can get rich together and create more wealth together." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Miluo, I will take your proposal seriously.

Consider it. However, before that, I need to have a clearer and direct understanding of the current situation of LT Shipbuilding Group Company and Preston Steel Plant. Therefore, I am not able to give you a clear answer now."

"That's not a problem!" Welf said with a smile on his face, "I believe, Fang, you will be satisfied with the situation of Preston Steel Plant. I can't guarantee that its technology and products are absolutely top-notch in the world, but I

I can guarantee that it is definitely at the world's advanced level!" It is enough for Fang Mingyuan to say this. He believes that the actual situation of Proston Steel Plant is enough to "conquer" Fang Mingyuan! A new steel plant that was put into production in 1995

If it weren’t for the sake of making friends with Fang Mingyuan, if it weren’t for the rapid decline of the European shipbuilding industry and the pessimistic prospects, if it wasn’t for the rapid opening of the Chinese market, no one would be willing to take it out and relocate it to China. And to do this

After all, the Welf family also has to pay a heavy price.

And now, Milot Friedrich Welf just hopes that everything will go smoothly and have a wonderful start. Naturally, it will be more likely to have a bright future, right? With the Fang family, a local snake in China,

, I believe that the Welf family’s entry into the Chinese market will be smoother and more enjoyable. This also means that his own status in the Welf family will also be greatly improved, not only will he get more words

If you have power, you will also get more personal wealth!

What a wonderful future! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
