"I want to buy the equipment of the SAIC engine plant." Chen Geng didn't go around in circles, and explained his intentions briskly.

"Why?" As if it was really the first time to hear Chen Geng talk about this, Grahider said puzzledly: "With all due respect, in my opinion, there is no difference between that engine factory and a scrap metal recycling center, and many of the equipment in it are backward antiques that have been eliminated in Germany for decades, and may only be seen in those machine tool museums." ”

Jindler nodded again and again, and said, "That's right, I think so too, I don't think this factory has any acquisition value at all, but Chen must insist on doing this, so ......"

Jindeler seemed to feel sorry for Chen Geng, but Chen Geng was stabbed by Jindler and Greyhead's words!

You think I don't want to use a better device? Do you think our country doesn't want to use better equipment? But even five years ago, even if our country wanted to buy more advanced production equipment, did we buy it?

Even if the Republic goes to sell blood, no country is willing to sell advanced engine production to China, the Americans and their children are not happy, the Soviets and their children are also unhappy, they cannot get external technical support, and in terms of the weak industrial research and development capacity and production capacity of the Republic, they do not have the ability to self-develop, self-upgrade and self-hematopoiesis, and do not continue to insist on using these rags, what else can we do?

Can't you upgrade and don't need it?

Of course not!

What's more, even now, what country in the world is willing to sell us their engine technology and advanced production equipment? Not at all!

"Of course I don't have to be that." Chen Geng bit the word "tattered" very hard. Looking at Kindler and Greenhead, he said word by word: "If Wolfsburg can provide us with the engine and transmission powertrain produced by the engine factory." We're not going to have such a pile of. ”

"No, no, no," Hearing Chen Geng's words, Grehead's head immediately shook like a rattle: "Chen, we are friends, from a friend's point of view, if you need it, I will be happy to provide you with these products, but you know." I don't count what I said, don't look at me as the top person in charge here, but all the operating instructions here come from the Wolfsburg headquarters, and for these engines, the requirements of the Wolfsburg headquarters are only for Poussin, not for any other enterprises, so ...... All I can say is I'm sorry. ”

Spreading his hands, Greyhead made a "I'm helpless too" expression.

"Then there is no way," Chen Geng's face showed a trace of regret, a trace of just the right amount of regret. With his hands outstretched, he said helplessly to Grayhead: "Look. That's the problem, my factory needs to have engines, and Wolfsburg won't supply me with these products, so I have to pick up the scraps. ”

"But Wolfsburg's request is to scrap this batch of equipment......" Grehead looked into Chen Geng's eyes and said slowly.

Scrap?!

Chen Geng's face suddenly became ugly, he knew that Wolfsburg had wolfish ambitions for the republic's automobile market, but he didn't expect Wolfsburg to do things so desperately, in order to completely cut off SAIC's ability to make its own engines,

When the deaf person felt uncomfortable, Zhang Xiangyang had nothing to do except stir the coffee like a whirlpool, and now seeing that Chen Geng's face was not good-looking, he finally couldn't help it, and asked Chen Geng in a low voice: "Third child, what are you talking about?" ”

"Mr. Greyhead said that the Wolfsburg headquarters is ready to scrap all the equipment of the SAIC engine plant." Chen Geng said in a low voice.

"What? Scrap?! Zhang Xiangyang was shocked all of a sudden, and said hurriedly: "Aren't those equipment being used well, why are they suddenly going to be scrapped?" ”

Zhang Xiangyang once also visited the SAIC engine factory, the equipment inside left a deep impression on him, although some of the equipment can be traced back to the first few years of this century, but even if it has been used for seventy or eighty years, but it is still running well, you can imagine how many generations of workers have invested in these machines and equipment, at that time with their own visit to the workers master extremely proud to say to themselves: "These equipment, we can use it for another 30 years!" ”

Can it be used for another 30 years, and the Germans are going to scrap us with such good equipment? The mood was suddenly a little excited.

Chen Geng signaled Zhang Xiangyang not to worry, and at the same time said in a low voice: "This is the meaning of the Wolf Castle Headquarters......

"Why?" Zhang Xiangyang couldn't understand why the Germans made such a decision: "Aren't these devices still usable?" ”

"The Germans don't like it," Chen Geng gave Zhang Xiangyang a simple analogy: "For example, you are used to using liquefied gas, and you have all kinds of household kitchen appliances such as rice cookers and microwave ovens at home, and now you are willing to cut tree branches and cook on the fire every day?" ”

Zhang Xiangyang immediately stopped talking, he was emotional just now, he didn't realize one point: yes, the equipment of SAIC Engine Factory can indeed be used, but the problem is that people feel that these equipment are too backward and can't look down on it at all, just like cooking on a wood-burning stove and cooking with liquefied gas and natural gas.

To tell the truth, not only Wolfsburg can't look down on the current production equipment of SAIC Engine Factory, Chen Geng also can't look down on it, he can't accept that some of these equipment, to be precise, a considerable part of the equipment is older than his grandfather's age, it is true that these equipment can still be used, but the use of these equipment are old workers who have been circling around this machine for decades, and the degree of familiarity with this equipment is like being familiar with their own body. So they can still produce qualified parts with this equipment that should have been scrapped a long time ago when the tolerances of this machine are already amazing, but it will not work at all if you change a person to operate this machine, and you will find that this machine is not usable at all.

These machines are so demanding of the operator that they may not be "compatible" at all.

Greyhead could understand some Chinese, and although Chen Geng and Zhang Xiangyang spoke in small voices, they were still partially heard by him, and he nodded: "Those old antiques must be scrapped, there is no doubt about it." ”

Chen Geng did not answer directly, but asked Grayhead: "Mr. Grayhead, I heard that although Wolfsburg intends to install new production equipment on the old site of the SAIC Engine Plant, it does not plan to use these workers from the engine factory?" ”

"That's the thing." Greyhead nodded.

"Why?" Chen Geng asked: "I know something about the situation of the SAIC engine factory, as far as I know, the workers of the SAIC engine factory are all workers with more than 10 years of rich experience, theoretically speaking, Wolfsburg should use this kind of experienced workers." ”

"That's the problem," Greyhead looked depressed at this, "because they have so much experience with these old equipment that it's hard to switch to the new equipment, and for Wolfsburgh, instead of wasting time and effort to teach them how to use the new machine, it's better to find another group of people." ”

Chen Geng immediately realized that the cultural level of these workers in the SAIC Engine Factory is generally not high, although they are familiar with this batch of equipment as if they are familiar with their own hands and feet, but at the same time, because of their age, their ability to accept new things is much weaker, so that Wolfsburg does not look down on these workers at all.

Greyhead added: "Of course, Wolfsburg is not completely unusable, some of the workers here are still of very good quality, and we will recruit some of them to supplement our engine manufacturing plant." ”

Wait!

Chen Geng suddenly realized that he seemed to have ignored a problem: if he remembered correctly, until 1991, when the last Shang@Hai SH760B car drove off the production line, it was still the improved Jinfeng 685Q 2.4L inline six-cylinder gasoline engine produced by SAIC Engine Factory, that is to say, Wolfsburg's careful thinking this time did not succeed, well, but Wolfsburg did not get nothing, because Wolfburg's pressure and SAIC's senior management did not look down on it@海轿车以及上汽发动机厂, after this incident, they moved the production line of the Shang@Hai car and the production line of the engine to Shao@Xing.

Chen Geng's eyes suddenly lit up......

"Mr. Greyhead, let me be honest, I'm interested in these workers, I'm interested in these equipment, and I hope you'll help me get these things." After being silent for a while, Chen Geng slowly spoke.

"It can't ......"

"Nothing is impossible," Chen Geng interrupted him, "I hope that the Wolf Castle side can carefully consider our friendship. ”

Greyhead's eyes narrowed: "I don't think our friendship is suitable for the current situation." ”

He was a little unhappy, one of the conditions why the Wolfsburg side agreed to Chen Geng to provide him with shock absorbers was that Chen Geng would have to use the loopholes in the Wolfsburg sedan he found to extort money from now on, and in Grayhead's opinion, Chen Geng's words were clearly a violation of the original agreement, which made him very unhappy.

"We reached an agreement at the beginning, how could I break our agreement," Chen Geng smiled: "But you say, will the media be interested in this matter?" What if the news that Wolfsburg was forcing SAIC to tear down their engine plant became a hot topic of discussion across the country? ”

Greyhead's face changed instantly: he didn't expect Chen Geng to be so despicable.

But he also had to admit that this trick was quite effective, and Wolfsburg was actually quite concerned about his reputation in China before he achieved his goal. (To be continued.) )
