Chapter 209 Procurement
Ye Kai's first stop in Germany was the Sleiflin Group in Munich.
THE SLEIFRIN GROUP IS A MACHINE TOOL GROUP OF THE GERMAN KÖRBER GROUP, AND IN ITS PREVIOUS LIFE, IT ACQUIRED MANY OF THE WORLD'S TOP GRINDING MACHINE MANUFACTURERS, INCLUDING STUDER, BLOHM, MAEGERLE, JUNG, SCHAUD, MIKROSA, EWAG AND WALTER.
In addition to its headquarters in Germany, the SRF Group has many companies in other countries such as the United States and Europe, and its products are distributed all over the world. The produced lathes play an important role in many manufacturing fields such as automobiles, motorcycles, aviation, aerospace, ships, and weapons, among which the military system accounts for about one-third of the total number of Sleifolin machines.
There are no less than ten lathe companies in Germany that are comparable to its status, and the reason why Ye Kai chose it is because Ye Kai's factory equipment in Germany is basically the purchase of its products.
Ye Kai met at the airport with the company's procurement director and a lawyer who came to pick up the airport, drove a few cars, and marched towards the headquarters of the Sleiflin Group.
In the group headquarters, Ye Kai and his entourage were welcomed by the group, in this place, Ye Kai threw down a large amount of deposit, purchased a large number of machinery and equipment, are the most advanced production equipment.
As for how to transport it to Hong Kong, there is no need for Ye Kai to worry about it, they will find a way to transport these embargoed equipment to their destination safely.
Fortunately, Hong Kong is at the forefront of the agreement, and although there are some violations, as long as it is not shipped to the mainland, I believe that the relationship they have spent countless efforts and money to build will also turn big things into small things.
After paying the deposit in full, Ye Kai declined the retention of the Sleifolin Group, and the group transferred to the Ximen Company in the same city.
Those who are familiar with history know that Siemens AG is the largest electrical and electronics company in Germany and Europe, and one of the largest electrical engineering and electronics companies in the world.
Its business is very wide, from small hand-held power tools to large nuclear power plants, almost everything related to electricity-related products, it wants to plug in, and it is terrible that it succeeded, and did not let the business fall into trouble because of greed.
Ye Kai also had a brief understanding of this company in his previous life, and found that when this company enters a certain industry, it usually forms a joint venture with a professional company in demand, and then if the business is good, it will be acquired, and if the business is not good and cannot meet their expectations, it will sell its shares to the other party.
However, it is very rare, whether it is an acquisition or a sale, its partners will not hate it, because the former has received a lot of cash, and the latter has received all the technology, so what do you say as a partner to hate it?
At this point, the Fuso people, who also like to use the name of joint ventures to establish joint ventures everywhere, are very hated, and the technologies they come up with are all obsolete technologies, and they will drive away their partners when they are well managed, and if they fail, they will pat their butts and leave, leaving a big mess.
Therefore, Ye Kai can use Fusang people to work for himself, and he will not want to establish a joint venture with them, it is too tiring to do things like that, and he must be careful at all times, otherwise he will not know if he will be sold one day.
And Ye Kai came to Ximen this time, also not to seek a joint venture, although in the future, automotive electronics, telephones, semiconductors, household appliances, computers, etc., in some fields in the future, Ye Kai will intersect with it, but Ye Kai, who is familiar with the historical trend, will not have a joint venture with it.
There will be no shortage of technology, talents, with the development of Ye Kai's industry in Germany, there will be no shortage, why do you say Ye Kai should have a joint venture with it?
The reason why Ye Kai came to Ximen was because he needed to build a power station on Lamma Island to supply electricity to the island.
He consulted many people, including the head of the power division of Ximen, and they all gave a negative answer to Ye Kai's idea of building a nuclear power plant.
The reason is simple, nuclear power plants are an act of the state and will not allow private ownership.
Because, at some point, if not properly regulated, this thing could turn into a strategic weapon, or a time bomb that ignites the source of pollution.
Therefore, Ye Kai had no choice but to give up, and under the recommendation of the person in charge of Ximen, it became a hydroelectric power station.
As long as the contract is signed, Simon will send someone to Lamma Island to inspect and give a detailed solution and cost.
In addition, in addition to signing the agreement on the power station, Ye Kai will also carry out land reclamation projects in the waters around Lamma Island, as well as build a large wharf, and of course, by the way, all the hollowing out of the mountains on Lamma Island will be handed over to them.
The reason for reclamation is that Ye Kai wants to produce all the core components of his products on this land.
For example, the automobile factory in Germany is responsible for the production and sales of Europe and the United States, and the core components in Asia are produced on Lamma Island, such as car shells, engines, gearboxes and chassis, and the assembly plant will be outside the island.
Of course, Ye Kai's first goal is still in the mainland, but I don't know if the mainland will allow Ye Kai to build a wholly-owned factory and sell it locally. Thank you!
