Chapter 485: Who's in Charge?
Fred, that's probably the name, anyway, most of Zhang Xiaofan's English names are similar, David, David, Devi, in fact, it is so bad to pronounce in English, and it will be confused if you don't pay attention to it.
Fred is the technician of Flying Leopard Coatings, and Carl, who is the general manager of their European region.
This is the chairman of Zhimei New Materials, and also the technical director of the most beautiful new materials, Mr. Zhang Xiaofan Zhang. ”
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you, your company is in the field of automotive coatings, and its products are attracting the world's attention. ”
Carl's expression was grim, and what a technician needs to pay to become the chairman is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
It is actually more difficult to become a boss from a technician than from a salesman to a boss.
There has always been a saying in the business field, those who win the business win the world, which is why many bosses have changed from salesmen.
Technicians are different, whether it is factory technology that concentrates on technology or after-sales technology that comes into contact with customers.
Compared with the salesman, in the business relationship, the difference is not half a point.
"Hello, Mr. Karl, I've won a prize. ”
What attracts the attention of the world is all nonsense.
If it really attracts the attention of the world, the business does not need to spend much effort at all, but the fact is that the business is not making any progress, and people are not very willing to believe in your product, after all, it is still rare to see it in the market.
In particular, the powder-coated cars that BMW Germany is now putting on the market seem to be like a drop of water poured into the sea, without waves or waves.
Some things take time to ferment like an aged wine, and as soon as the user discovers the benefits of the never-waxing technique, the benefits will be passed on by word of mouth.
In fact, how many people will pay attention to whether the surface of your car is sprayed with paint or powder coating? No, there are not many.
When he was in Huaxia, because Zhang Xiaofan carried out various promotions, people learned about powder coatings, so during that period of time when the heat was fermenting, some people paid attention to whether it was powder spraying or paint spraying.
Now in Germany, in Europe, there is no one to promote powder coatings, everyone says that Europeans and Americans pay attention to environmental protection, in fact, they are all fake, for ordinary people, the government's mandatory requirements, so that they slowly form a habit.
This is probably the reason why European and American environmental protection is better than that of China.
"Our products are no different from your company in appearance, I wonder if Mr. Zhang is willing to transfer the never-waxing technology to us?"
"We'll talk about that later. ”
Karl was not surprised by this result, and told them that if they developed a technology that could be ahead of the times, they would not be willing to use it for others to use for or without compensation.
The lethality of the never-waxing technique has not yet been felt, but Carl knows that people in this world are definitely much lazier than diligent.
That also shows that if the never-waxing technology can really be made, and there is no need to wax for ten years, then the efficiency of its transformation into business is simply immeasurable.
"We also developed it some time ago, in fact, we have been researching automotive surface spraying for 7 or 8 years.
Many technologies can be said to be epoch-making, and we are also ambitious within our company, and in the face of increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations, the advantages of powder coatings over paints will become more and more reflected.
I just didn't expect to let your company take the lead, I heard that your company was established less than five years ago, although it is not said that there is any technical accumulation, but your company's technical strength does attract our attention. ”
Zhang Xiaofan just kept staring at Carl, what kind of idea did this bearded man have?
It took 7 or 8 years of research and development? It is estimated that it is a lie, anyway, Zhang Xiaofan does not believe it very much.
However, in terms of technology accumulation, Flying Leopard Coating does have the strength to be proud of the world.
However, Zhang Xiaofan didn't pay attention to it, maybe in another ten years, after the explosion of technology, Zhang Xiaofan was indeed a little worried.
But in the current years, Zhang Xiaofan still has a lot of technology that has not been taken out, and now the conditions are not mature enough, and it will definitely attract people after taking it out, and according to the current market situation of raw materials, it is not necessarily possible to do it.
"Technology, this kind of thing, chance, is actually very strong, we are lucky, compared to your company, we can only be regarded as a kitten and a puppy.
But I'm curious, since there are at least four world-famous automotive companies in Germany, why do you have to keep an eye on our customers?"
The accident of technology is indeed very strong, especially the technology of never waxing, Zhang Xiaofan never thought that someone would develop it at this time, and he is also a technician of his own company, which can only be said to be a coincidence, a real coincidence.
German cars are indeed the brightest pearls in the world, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi Volkswagen, and the brands that we like to see can be found here.
Zhang Xiaofan's words made Carl a little embarrassed, it was originally true, why do you stare at other people's customers in such a big industry as the automotive industry? At present, the automotive industry is simply a big blue ocean for powder coatings.
It's a big piece of cake, you can just cut it at will, why stare at someone else's bowl?
"Actually, this is also a coincidence, I happen to be very good friends with the CEO of BMW, and they have ready-made powder coating lines, and other companies can't compare to BMW if they inspect them.
What's more, the company that was the first company in the world to apply powder coatings to automotive topcoats, and your company is a supplier to BMW, and I would like to compare the differences between the two.
Let's see if there is anything that can be improved on our company's products. ”
"It's actually very simple to compare, for insiders, the surface effect can be compared at a glance, and as for the internal chemical and physical properties, we have provided detailed data to BMW.
The data on the test report is very accurate, which is from the world's famous third-party testing institutions, and the authority can be trusted. ”
"Mr. Zhang is also an enterprise, and only when any product is applied to the physical object can its value be fully reflected.
Many flaws are difficult to observe if you don't apply them to the physical object, and the batch should not be small. ”
"What if the quality of your company's products is not good? "Who should be responsible for the various losses arising therein?"
