Chapter 374: Volkswagen

The car soon arrived at the gate of Volkswagen's headquarters in Shanghai, where several Germans were waiting, Dong Mingwu was the first to get out of the car, and the others also rushed down.

"Director Dong, hello, factory directors, everyone has worked hard!"

A German at the head of the group muttered to the crowd, and the interpreter next to the director kept translating the other party's words.

"Mr. Thomas, we are here again, this time it is the professors of Huaxia University, they are the best experts in our country, you can't hide your secrets for a while!"

Dong Mingwu pointed at Xiong Huaizhi and the others and said with a smile.

This Thomas is the general manager of Volkswagen in China, a white man in his forties.

"How can we hide our secrets? you get those parts as soon as possible, and we can work together happily!"

Thomas replied.

"Hello old gentleman, I'm Thomas!"

The other party walked up to Xiong Huaizhi and stretched out his hand and said.

Before the translator could speak, Xiong Huaizhi said in German: "Hello Mr. Thomas, my name is Xiong Huaizhi!"

"Wow, the old gentleman actually speaks German?"

The other party was taken aback.

"I studied in Germany forty years ago and am a graduate of the Ruhr University!"

"Graduates of the Ruhr University, which is the most prestigious university in Germany, has produced many excellent engineers, and you go to school there, that's my senior, good senior!"

After Thomas finished speaking, he gave Xiong Huaizhi a very solemn salute.

Germans attach the most importance to industry, and the Ruhr University is the cradle of German engineers, even if you are the German Prime Minister, you will treat a respected old engineer with courtesy.

"Mr. Thomas, you're welcome, your company has come to invest in our country, and we should thank you!"

Xiong Huaizhi hurriedly said.

"These are all Xiong Huaizhi's students!"

Dong Mingwu pointed to Liu Lang and a few others, but he didn't say Liu Lang's name, because Liu Lang had told the other party that he didn't like to be called a prodigy genius, and he was treated as a "monkey" by others when he walked there.

But Liu Lang's figure can't be hidden, with a height of one meter two, even if he is much taller than his peers, he still looks like a six or seven-year-old child.

Thomas and the others were naturally curious: Why did the other party bring a child over? What kind of routine is this?

These people are Germans, they can't read Chinese newspapers, and no one tells them that there is such a thing as a little genius in China, but a translator next to them lit up his glasses, thinking that this child is likely to be Liu Lang mentioned in the newspaper, but when he saw that Dong Mingwu didn't point it out, he didn't say anything.

Volkswagen has been stationed in China five years ago, although it is still far from localization in five years, but they have installed three sets of car assembly lines in China, which can produce 2,000 cars per year, but all the parts of these cars are shipped from abroad, and they have nothing to do with China.

However, the assembly workers of the production line are all Chinese workers, which can be regarded as cultivating a group of industrial workers.

After more than two years of work, they have been able to skillfully assemble these cars together, their salary is 65 yuan per month, which is already a high salary in China, but compared with Germany, it is more than ten times worse, just the labor cost, Shanghai Volkswagen can save a lot of money every year.

As for the sales of those assembled cars, most of them were purchased by government departments, and a small part were bought by those "who got rich first", for example, the Shanghai municipal government purchased five Volkswagen imported Santner cars, each with 200,000 yuan.

200,000 yuan! The richest people in this era are called "10,000 yuan households," and 200,000 yuan is a huge wealth that the vast majority of people dare not even think of; if it is placed in 30 years, it will be equivalent to more than 2 million yuan, and you must know that in 30 years, the number of people in the country who will have 2 million yuan in their pockets is innumerable, but now, how many people in the country have 200,000 yuan in their pockets?

Liu Lang looked at last year's state statistics a few days ago, of course, this kind of data is not public, it is a state secret, but Liu Lang can obtain it at any time, after all, he now has the title of "supernumerary No. 1 think tank".

One of them is the statistics of 84 years: the number of private cars in the country is 20,000, and the total population of the country is 160 million, that is to say, only one person in every 53,000 people owns a private car, and many of these people are people like Mu Xiaohu, and the rest of the private cars, that is, a little more than 10,000 people, are bought by making money by their own efforts.

Most of these people live in the southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and the Shenzhen City and the Snake City Special Zone, is the first generation of entrepreneurs in New China, such as Fucheng as a backward city, although the population is nearly one million, but there is not a private car, let alone Fucheng, it is Shencheng with a population of millions, Liu Lang also rarely sees private cars, that is, in the capital can only occasionally appear on the street a few, such as Mu Xiaohu's Mercedes-Benz car, the entire capital is only two or three.

Although the Volkswagen company in Shanghai is only an assembly plant, the rigor of the Germans is still reflected everywhere, and the huge factory is clean and tidy, completely different from the state-owned factory, and the workers wear uniform work clothes.

There is a clear picture board at the entrance with rules and regulations written in Hanzi, even for Chinese.

Liu Lang had heard Dong Mingwu say before that the Chinese workers who had just been recruited were a little uncomfortable, and they would forget to wear work clothes and helmets.

Many visiting factory directors secretly scolded each other for this is the exploitation of capitalists, and one by one disdains to "be with it", but they don't know that this is called a modern enterprise management method, and even the most basic rules and regulations can not be done, and it is a dream for an enterprise to grow and become stronger.

At present, among the domestic enterprises, only the three factories that have been successfully privatized have some shadows of the modern management system, but they are only scratching the surface, but even if they are superficial, they are far better than other state-owned enterprises.

Even now, Liu Lang saw that the factory directors were contemptuous, obviously disapproving of those who worked in neat work clothes, thinking that this kind of action was purely superfluous and did not help work efficiency.

"Alas, these people can't keep up with the trend of the times! When you have the opportunity, let's drive them down to retire!"

Liu Lang thought in his heart, with these people, even if the enterprise introduces foreign advanced technology, they will not manage it well, and the reform of state-owned enterprises is not only a matter of property rights, but also a change in the management system......!

The old factory directors followed Thomas and the others to the first workshop.
