Chen Shu thought about it for a moment and asked, "Have you seen their production line?"

"I haven't seen it yet, but I heard that it's pretty good, we also heard some news this time, saying that it was because of environmental protection reasons that they were ordered to stop production and relocate, but where else can they relocate to a big country? Of course, it's not clear if there are other reasons, do you think this line can be bought?" Zhang Ning immediately became interested.

"You stay there for two more days, I'll take the technician over to have a look, and before you arrive, you will evaluate with him indiscriminately, even if it is reported according to the price of scrap iron. After we arrived, we will look at the situation and talk, if we think it is suitable, we will want it, and if it is not suitable, we will pull it, and we will not lose much when we travel around. Chen Shu said.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Ning still had some doubts.

"Yes! To tell you the truth, I've been looking for a suitable production line, but I haven't come across it, otherwise it would have been online. I know very well about the H-shaped steel line of BWI Steel, and I also attended the groundbreaking ceremony at the time, so if the line is similar, I can consider taking it over. If it's a sky-high price, let's consider something else!" Chen Shu said.

"Then what do we say, really talking about scrap iron?" Zhang Ning still felt that such an offer was not kind.

"Definitely, not understanding is also a reason for quoting!" Chen Shu said, Zhang Ning immediately understood when he heard this, it was because he didn't understand that he couldn't quote a high price, otherwise he might lose money.

Now that it was confirmed, Chen Shu began to look for someone here, and the first one to bring was naturally Liu Chunyu, and then Yang Baoxing and Liu Chunyu also brought another workshop director of their company. This trip is less about negotiation skills and more about seeing how the equipment is, at least for now.

The group of four flew non-stop from Beijing to Tokyo and then to Shizuoka. According to Zhang Ning, this is a small factory attached to Nippon Steel, and when it was first approved, it did not have much impact on the environment and residents, and it turned out to be far more than expected.

However, in addition to these, the other party has repeatedly claimed that there is no problem with the device. Now the production line is still not disassembled, so Chen Shu and they can see the complete production line after they arrive.

"We haven't dealt with devils, and after we go, we only look for faults and don't talk about the advantages, so we don't guarantee that they will understand Chinese, and when they hear us talk about the advantages, they may raise the price!" Chen Shu said.

"No, right? You can meet someone who can speak Chinese anywhere, the odds are too high, right?" asked the workshop director with Liu Chunyu.

"It's different now, do you think a few of us can understand Japanese? What everyone thinks is impossible, there is often a possibility! I have already greeted Hongtong Company over there, and asked him to quote according to the price of scrap iron, after all, we are buying as a whole, let him resell to us." โ€

"If he wants to make money, he will naturally keep the price down as much as possible, as for whether we can pick out the faults to the point, it depends on the level and vision of a few of us, and it also determines our final purchase price!" Chen Shu said with a serious analysis.

After getting off the plane, a few people who were still skeptical had to admit that there are not many people who know Chinese now, mainly because there are too many people traveling abroad now, forcing these people to learn Chinese, otherwise you will not be able to attract business.

After arriving in Shizuoka, Zhang Ning and the others had already arranged a car to pick them up. On the way, Chen Shu and the four of them didn't talk too much, but talked about what gifts they needed to bring back to their family and friends. Anyway, I've already come over, and it's a bit unreasonable to go back without bringing something back.

"Mr. Chen, this is Okao Matsumoto, the general manager of Songling Steelworks, and the production line we want to see is what their company wants to sell. Then Chen Shu and Liu Chunyu were introduced in Japanese, but the content of the introduction was the head of the technical department of Tangshan Hongtong.

However, Zhang Ning exchanged a few words with the other party before turning his head, "Section Chief Chen, they asked us if we should look at the production line first, or take a break, and then arrange to check the production line tomorrow." Zhang Ning said.

"Work first, the rest will be arranged separately, we brought a camera, if this line is worth buying, we can negotiate the price, and at the same time we make a mark, take pictures of the rolling line equipment. Of course, if it's not suitable, we don't need to ask for any amount of money, and it's a pile of scrap metal to get it back!" Chen Shufeng said lightly.

Chen Shu deliberately said this to Zhang Ning, and at the same time, he also said it to the people next to him, and some people next to him frowned, obviously understanding what Chen Shu was saying. If it weren't for Chen Shu, a few of them would still be standing here, and they would have already greeted his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Chen Shuke doesn't care about them, he only cares about whether he meets his own requirements, so he puts the purpose of this trip in the first place, and everything else is easy to say after this thing is done.

When a few people walked into the workshop, Chen Shu and the four of them were stunned, and the internal scene of the workshop they saw was seriously inconsistent with what they imagined.

The equipment in the entire workshop almost looks spotless, the emerald green paint is still very well preserved, and there is not a single tool that is stacked haphazardly.

The cement floor of the workshop is marked with various yellow and green lines, which is obviously a problem that should be paid attention to in all parts of the workshop in the production process, and the operator should stand or move in the range, so as to ensure normal operation and production safety to the greatest extent.

"Do you see the gap?" asked Chen Shu.

"The gap is too big, when the working environment of our workers reaches this level, and then brag about environmental protection and clean production, it is really embarrassing!" Liu Chunyu said.

"I feel more that we are trading the health of our workers for money, and although we have all kinds of insurance for them, the gap is really unreassuring. Chen Shu said this, and several other people also felt embarrassed.

Chen Shu turned to look at the other staff, "Can I communicate with you in English?"

"OK!" the other party agreed very happily.

"I'd like to be able to see what happens when the production line is up and running, so that the furnace is not necessary, from billet opening to finishing rolling, to the subsequent straightening and cutting, and so on. Only when it is up to operation will we know if there is an obvious problem, and then can we take pictures in the workshop?" Chen Shu asked in English.

After getting a positive reply from the other party, Chen Shu and a few of them followed the other party's workers to the side of the rolling line, and soon the whole rolling line started. The running stability of the rolling mill and the vibration are carefully observed.

After a while, several people also took a lot of photos, some with mobile phones, some with digital cameras. Several other people standing in the workshop were also full of anticipation, but Chen Shu's words poured cold water on them.

"Mr. Zhang, we can't have this rolling line, in addition to the problems in the rolling line, they also have the intention to conceal it, I'm afraid it's not a very good business partner! I'm afraid we have to find a place to stay tonight, I didn't expect this to be the result when we came all the way, let's go!"

When Chen Shu walked out, Liu Chunyu and the three people who came together naturally couldn't stay, so they hurriedly followed, and Zhang Ning saw Chen Shu walking away like this, although he didn't know where they would go, but he definitely saw something that didn't match what the other party said.

The other party didn't expect Chen Shu to be like this, he looked at Chen Shu who left with a confused expression, and seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he quickly grabbed Zhang Ning. If Zhang Ning also leaves, then all the preparations for today will be in vain.
