Along the way, the representative of the Stoll company also briefed Chen Deshan and others about the company.

Aigle Maschinenbau is a well-known Austrian manufacturer of construction machinery with a long history, dating back to Carmen? Kurz founded a tool workshop in 1829 in Bohemia in Austria-Hungary. Since then, the company has been passed down from generation to generation by Kurz's direct children and grandchildren, and has grown as a family business. In 1925, the century-old factory welcomed its fourth manager, Lev? Kurtz. In his 38 years at the helm of the plant, this brilliant businessman combined the scruff of an engineer to develop this medium-sized tool shop into one of Austria's most prestigious manufacturers of construction machinery. In particular, he moved the factory to the industrial town of North Austria, and Linz's decision laid the foundation for the future development of the factory, and with the economic recovery of the devastated European countries after World War II, the construction of the factory was in full swing, and the company reached the peak of its development in 1960, and its products not only occupied more than a third of the domestic market but also exported a large number of products to other European countries.

However, since the 70s of the 20th century, with the slowdown of the Austrian economy and the saturation of the construction market, the business situation of Eigler Maschinenbau has deteriorated. By 1983, in the fifth manager, that is, Lev? Kurtz's son, Kiger? Kurz's company, which could not be sustained, was sold to the Austrian consortium AGH. At the beginning, the AGH consortium still valued this century-old famous brand, adding equipment, renovating factories, and recruiting talents, hoping to rebuild its strength. But after barely staying on top for four years, the plant's growing losses are increasingly becoming a heavy burden for the AGH consortium. As a result, the AGH consortium has recently made the decision to close the production plant and keep only the sales part, taking advantage of Eigle's popularity and nationwide sales network to transform into a major machinery seller. In order to recover the losses as much as possible, the initiative to sell the equipment was made.

So that's the case, Chen Deshan and others recalled the bad situation in the past few years and couldn't help but sigh, shopping malls are like battlefields, and it seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Thinking of the important role played by Yang Zhi in reviving Yituo, the three leaders were secretly glad that there was such a very good young man.

In fact, when the candidate for the Austrian expedition was decided, there was a lot of disagreement. You must know that unlike the future generations who can just get a passport and get a visa to travel abroad, visit relatives, and study abroad, it is not comparable with those bigwigs who go abroad with public funds at every turn, in this era, for the vast majority of people, it is a very rare opportunity to go abroad. Leaders who don't want to go out and see what they want to do. Chen Deshan and Chang Xinlai are not too controversial as the first and second in command, after all, the opportunity should be given to the leader, and only these two can have the right to make decisions on such a big matter. However, for the next candidate, everyone is expressing their opinions. Especially relying on Liu Yajun, the oldest deputy director of production, he is even more ambitious. In the end, it is because the inspection equipment really needs an accomplished technical leader that Zhu Chunming can win. As for the last person, before others could express their opinions, Chen Deshan made a final decision: Yang Zhi is the most suitable! The others disagreed, and one sentence left them speechless: In addition to Yang Zhi, can you find another person in the factory who is fluent in German? Yang Zhi didn't know, just because of this, many people were so red at Yang Zhi!

Finally arrived at the factory, Yang Zhi and his entourage were warmly welcomed by the leaders of Aigler, after all, they came to do business! In the process of greeting each other, several company leaders were very affectionate, and only one old man sat on the side with a gloomy face. It makes Chen Deshan and others very strange, if we buy the equipment, it doesn't mean that we will remove a big burden for your transformation! Why does this person have such an expression?

In fact, what a few people don't know is that the identity of this old man is the most unique and subtle among the people present, because he is the fifth generation of the company, Kige? Kurtz!

It turned out that after the acquisition of the company by the AGH consortium, out of the need to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people, Kiger? Kurz remained as managing director, and the rest of the hierarchy remained largely unchanged. However, Kiger, who is obsessed with technology and quality, has repeatedly clashed with the top management of the AGH consortium, which is more focused on scale and profit. In the end, the AGH consortium, which found it unbearable, carried out a major reshuffle of the company, parachuting a large number of personnel and replacing almost all of the former executives. It was only because of the employee sentiment and brand heritage that Kiger was appointed as the company's CTO who was empty, but in fact he was excluded from the company's management.

The AGH consortium's sudden decision to close the production department aroused strong opposition from the old man, who sold the company in order to find a powerful new owner for better development, but he did not expect the company to fall into such a field. However, at this time, the AGH consortium, which was already wholly owned, was not moved at all and insisted on advancing the relevant matters. Seeing that these Chinese want to buy the new equipment introduced by themselves last year to persuade the senior management of the AGH consortium, the old man's mood can be imagined.

Then, everyone came to the production plant, although because of the imminent transformation, many workshops in the factory have stopped production, but after visiting several workshops that are still in small-scale production, Chen Deshan and others have to admit that even if the business conditions are not good, Eigler is still worthy of being a famous Austrian machinery company. Whether it is the production process, the operating specifications, the level of equipment and the proficiency of the workers, Eigle has a high standard. In particular, the meticulous professionalism of the staff is even more impressive.

Finally came to the workshop where the automated stamping production line of Storer was installed, and Yang Zhi and several people were all bright-eyed. After all, what I had seen in the Storl office was only a display of a few major equipment, but now this is a complete production line!

Seeing the excited expressions of several people, the accompanying company leaders were overjoyed. After all, the early sale of equipment and the completion of the task of shutting down the factory will enable the company to transform earlier, and the assessment tasks assigned by the AGH consortium can be completed. Then, these people can get a lot of rewards! Only the old man on the side, that is, Kiger? Kurtz frowned.

At the sound of an order, the workers who had been arranged in advance opened the production line and began to demonstrate the actual machine to the Chinese visitors, and at the same time verify that the production line can work normally. After the stamping parts were processed, Chen Deshan and several people immediately went up to pick them up and carefully inspect them. Well, several of them nodded secretly. Whether it is machining accuracy or stamping quality, it is indeed more than a tow of the current use of stamping machines. And what is commendable is that such a large stamping part takes a short time to process, and the whole production line only needs to be operated by about 20 people, which is far lower than the average level of about 100 people. Efficiency has really improved!

After comprehensively checking the maintenance of the entire production line and each component equipment, several people stepped aside and began to discuss, and they were all satisfied. So, Chen Deshan led a few people to the conference room in the opposite office building with the Austrian personnel, ready to further negotiate the price and relevant specific details.

Seeing the guests and hosts on both sides enjoying themselves, a harmonious scene, Kiger who endured for a long time? Old Mr. Kurtz finally broke out and yelled in the back: "You can't sell them the machine!" ”

Yes? What the hell is this stubborn old gentleman! Everyone present stopped in amazement. Even though Chen Deshan and the others couldn't understand what he said, they could judge that it was definitely not a good thing when they saw everyone's expressions. For a while, the focus of the audience was on this old gentleman -
