Chapter 1258: Swap money for technology

Liu Lang took little Andrew to the core place of NORINCO Group, the scientific research center, from which the "Exploration No. 1" was manufactured and assembled.

"Little Andrew, this is the core of our factory, you are our friend to come here to watch, and you are not qualified to change someone else!"

There are several laboratories in the scientific research building, all the equipment is the most advanced in China, some equipment is still imported from abroad, the highest set of equipment is worth 12 million US dollars, there are a total of seven sets of equipment in this building, the total value is 50 million US dollars, it can be said that the price alone is already the best scientific research department in China, and here is only for the metal material strength, precision and related parameters of the approval and proofreading, not all parameters.

North Industries Group and Huaxia Industrial Technology Co., Ltd. cooperated to establish this scientific research center, Huaxia Industrial Technology Co., Ltd. has sent five scientific researchers to work here all the year round, there is no stronger company than Huaxia Industrial Science and Technology in this aspect of scientific research, North Industries Group is worse than each other in scientific research, after all, people rely on universities, coupled with the continuous accumulation of Huaxia Industrial Science and Technology over the years, its depth has made Liu Lang a little red, just professor-level talents have cultivated more than 20, published more than 50 papers with international standards, and more than 200 patents, especially in terms of smelting and forging theory, it is well-deserved to be the first in the country.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, Huaxia Industrial Science and Technology has cooperated with more than 10 domestic scientific research institutions, and its tentacles cover many aspects such as military industry, aerospace, navigation, etc., but individual enterprises and they only cooperate with North Industries Group, and the technical level of other individual enterprises cannot be reached.

Little Andrew looked at these devices and was amazed, that set of 12 million dollars of equipment didn't even have them, of course, if Little Andrew went to buy it at a much lower price, but it was also five million dollars, it was still too expensive to afford.

"Little Andrew, look at our strength, but this is only hard power, our scientific researchers are real soft power, and we are now also carrying out the research and development of CNC machine tools, we have a common goal in this regard!"

Little Andrew didn't say anything, he now figured it out, it turned out that Liu Lang wanted their technology! Of course, this is understandable, who doesn't want to get good technology, but .........!

"Little Andrew, do you think about what benefits your Andrews company will get from this cooperation? Then I can tell you right now that if you cooperate with us, NORINCO will bear 70% of your R&D costs...... No, 80 percent, 80 percent of the R&D funds, and you also know that I have money, not bad money, you can buy equipment that you couldn't afford before, experts you couldn't afford to hire before, in short, this matter is good for you and me, and it's a great benefit.

Of course, you may also be afraid of some other factors, such as technical restrictions at the national level, but you should not forget that the trade between China and Germany is getting deeper and deeper, for example, Siemens has now reached an agreement with Hankou Machine Tool Factory, the two sides will cooperate in CNC machine tools, you Andrews company is not comparable to Siemens, everyone has come to cooperate, why can't you use your brains!

This time little Andrew was silent again, Liu Lang's words really hit his heart, he Andrews company must break through the shackles in technology must make a breakthrough in technology, but high-end technology belongs to the core secrets of an enterprise, people will not show it to the public, you can only do it yourself, and many places have to buy other people's patents, where money is needed, Andrews company's annual profit can reach about 150 million US dollars these years, it is indeed a lot, and there are 10 to 20 percent invested in research and development, which is a very high proportion, that is the most three million a year。

In this way, the R&D investment over the years has exceeded 10 million, but 10 million US dollars is not enough, if you want to get a major breakthrough, Andrew Jr. expects to have at least 20 million US dollars.

Twenty million dollars! How many years does Andrews have to save up? Five years? But do you have a chance in five years?

You can't buy the best equipment without money, you can't afford to hire top talent, you can't afford to buy relevant patents, in a word, you can fail with money, but without money you will definitely not get the technology, that's the truth.

Liu Lang proposed to exchange money for technical cooperation, which undoubtedly made Little Andrew tempted again, as for the restrictions at the national level, as Liu Lang said, such as Siemens, Bavaria companies have begun to enter the Chinese market, they have mastered Germany, and even the world's top technology, they can why not?

But little Andrew has a small question.

"Jimmy, why don't you work with Siemens? I think you're the best manufacturing plant in China, and they should be looking for you first. ”

"Hehe, little Andrew, firstly, we are friends, good things must first find friends, this is our tradition, secondly, our cooperation will be very equal, unlike Siemens, people are high, and cooperation with them is destined not to be smooth sailing.

I'm a person who likes to be straightforward, and I don't like to negotiate back and forth, which affects efficiency, and you must be one of those people, right?"

"Well, yes, that's right!"

Little Andrew nodded repeatedly.

"You have also seen the ability of our NORINCO Group, maybe you think we can't compare to you now, but it's hard to say how the future will be, maybe in ten years our NORINCO Group will become a world-class company, and even be able to wrestle with Siemens, don't you want to have a good relationship with us now?"

"No, no, that's for the future, now let's not talk about the future, if we cooperate, what about the way? What is the way of cooperation?"

Little Andrew asked, apparently confused by Liu Lang's "sweet words" again.

"Simple, I have fifteen engineers here, and I hope they can come to Germany to join your research team and work with your experts! At the same time, we will also send other engineers to your company from time to time for visits and exchanges. ”

Liu Lang made a request.

"It's as simple as that?"

Little Andrew was surprised that you spent so much money to send fifteen engineers, which is a bit of a loss.

"Of course it's not easy, I hope you keep your promises, let my engineers really join you, let them learn real skills, of course, I hope that when you succeed, you will also have a copy of the relevant information. ”

"That's it?"

Little Andrew still didn't believe it, and it was naturally okay for people to give so much money and ask for a material.

"That's all, of course, I won't force you to cooperate with us technically, even if this aspect is not negotiated, the other two businesses will not be affected, I fully respect your choice. ”

Liu Lang has already figured out the other party's "bottom line", firstly, little Andrew has a lot of affection for China, to put it bluntly, he is an "honest man", there are not so many messy ideas, he just wants to leave his father to his own factory to do a good job, and secondly, Liu Lang has given him very generous conditions, 80% of the research and development expenses, which is too tempting, so that he can't refuse.
