Chapter Eighty-Six: A Few Requests for the Great Cousin
A wave of cold air finally hit on the last day of October, and the temperature in Yangjiang City dropped sharply by seven or eight degrees, and the train taken by the eldest cousin will arrive in Yangjiang at 7:10 tonight.
Listening to the northwest wind blowing outside, Zhang Jiaming casually took off his father's tweed coat hanging on the hanger in the living room, "Mom, I'm going to pick up my eldest cousin at the train station." ”
"Go, pay attention to safety on the road, and pick up your eldest cousin and your two brothers to eat at home together." Wang Chunling said in the kitchen.
"After picking up the eldest cousin and returning to our house, it will be more than eight o'clock, if the train is delayed, I don't know when, you eat first, don't wait for us, I will ask the eldest cousin to invite me to dinner outside, anyway, he has money!" Zhang Jiaming said.
"Yes, then invite your eldest cousin to our family for dinner tomorrow." Wang Chunling said.
"Okay, I'll definitely bring your words to my eldest cousin." Zhang Jiaming said and pushed open the door and went out.
When Zhang Jiaming came to Yangjiang Railway Station, the exit was already full of people who picked up the station, and when he heard the radio in front of the station saying that the train from the direction of Guangzhou had entered the station, Zhang Jiaming hurriedly squeezed to the front of the crowd with his coat in his arms.
Five minutes later, Zhang Jiaming saw his eldest cousin wearing only a white shirt on his upper body, holding a suitcase in one hand and holding his arm in the other, trembling out with the flow of people leaving the station.
"Cousin, I'm here!" Zhang Jiaming hurriedly greeted him, and at the same time handed over the tweed coat he was holding.
My cousin said in Cantonese while wearing a coat: "Wow, the weather in Yangjiang is so cold!" ”
Zhang Jiaming also smiled and imitated: "You southerners should get used to it!" ”
The eldest cousin didn't shrink his head after wearing a thick tweed coat, and began to introduce his gains at the Canton Fair to the little cousin with his eyebrows, Zhang Jiaming said with a smile: "Cousin, let's find a restaurant to eat and chat first." ”
In eighty-seven years, there was already a taxi on the square in front of Yangjiang Railway Station, the models were very miscellaneous, Zhang Jiaming stopped a Lada car, and the eldest cousin put the luggage in the trunk of the taxi, Zhang Jiaming said: "Cousin, the weather is cold today, how about we go to Chengdu Hot Pot City to eat hot pot?" ”
"Okay, good, although I have eaten well in Guangzhou these days, it is too light, my eldest cousin, I am not spicy, ok, just eat hot pot!" The eldest cousin said.
The taxi drove for more than ten minutes to Chengdu Hot Pot City, located in the center of the city, Zhang Jiaming and his eldest cousin chose a secluded table to sit down, asked for a mandarin duck hot pot, and ordered some dishes according to their own tastes.
"Cousin, this is the information of Panasonic Corporation, I have been in contact with the representatives of their small household appliance division several times, and their company has the willingness to transfer equipment technology, this is the information of Sharp Company...... "The eldest cousin introduced Zhang Jiaming with a few treasures.
"Cousin, you show me the information of that Jingchuan Co., Ltd." Zhang Jiaming said.
"Cousin, what do you think it's for? This is a small Japanese company, according to their Japanese counterparts, this company has backward production technology and a low degree of automation, and now it is on the verge of bankruptcy. Seeing that Zhang Jiaming was not interested in these well-known large companies, but had a soft spot for an unknown small company, the eldest cousin said with some puzzlement.
For China, an emerging market, the 80s was the beginning of China's home appliances, but for Japan, a mature market, it was an era of reshuffling of the home appliance industry.
Zhang Jiaming believes that this small Japanese company should be in a dying state as their peers say, even if the Jingchuan company goes bankrupt, and in Japan, a country with extremely high labor costs, it is difficult to find a production line with backward production efficiency willing to take over.
However, China is different, and the annual salary of industrial workers in our country is now about 1,200 yuan, which is less than one-fiftieth of that of Japanese workers, so according to China's national conditions, Zhang Jiaming believes that there is no need to spend more money to one-sidedly pursue the so-called high efficiency at this stage.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiaming explained to his confused cousin: "Cousin, let me give you an example, if Panasonic's quotation is one million US dollars, and Jingchuan's quotation is 500,000 US dollars, Panasonic's production line only needs 50 workers, and Jingchuan needs 100 workers due to low production efficiency, and in Japan, the average salary of workers is about 20,000 US dollars, so it is definitely more appropriate to choose Panasonic's equipment."
In our country, the annual salary of each worker is only about 1,200 yuan, and even if we use 50 more workers, it will cost an extra 60,000 yuan a year, and according to the current exchange rate of 1:3.75 between the renminbi and the US dollar, it is only about 16,000 US dollars, and the extra 500,000 US dollars is enough for us to pay these workers wages for more than 30 years. ”
After listening to Zhang Jiaming's words, the eldest cousin took out the calculator and clicked it, and said: "After calculation, it is more appropriate to introduce the technical equipment of Jingchuan Company." ”
Zhang Jiaming said: "Today is October 31st, and the Canton Fair will close on November 4th, so you should contact this company tomorrow and invite them to come to our Yangjiang to discuss technology transfer before they withdraw their booth and return to China." ”
"I'll do it early tomorrow morning." The eldest cousin replied.
"In addition, the registration of the company, the recruitment of talent work should also be in full swing, for the selection of materials I put forward a 32-word requirement, cousin, you have to remember, there is virtue and talent to reuse, there is no virtue to cultivate and use, there is no virtue to limit hiring, no virtue and no talent resolutely do not use!" Zhang Jiaming said.
Seeing that the eldest cousin wrote down his requirements very seriously in the notebook, Zhang Jiaming took out a few copies of the "People's Daily" from his schoolbag and said: "This is the government order of the "Several Provisions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Science and Technology System" issued on January 10 in ******, which expresses the attitude of the state to encourage the establishment of more science and technology enterprises, we are the first microwave oven manufacturer in China, of course, it should also be regarded as a science and technology enterprise, if you encounter difficulties in dealing with relevant departments, you can show them this government document, If that doesn't work, you can go directly to my dad for help. ”
Zhang Jiaming pointed to another newspaper and said: "This contains the circular issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China on 'Deepening Rural Reform', and this document will be useful for us to acquire land and build factories in the rural areas in the near future. In addition, cousin, you should pay more attention to these policy things in the future, and we must not ignore the opening of companies and factories in our country. ”
"Okay, cousin, I remember it all!" The eldest cousin put all the newspapers in his briefcase.
At this time, the waiter had all the dishes, and the soup in the hot pot was already boiling, Zhang Jiaming sandwiched a piece of mutton and put it in his cousin's bowl and said, "How about my cousin taste it?" ”
"Well, it's delicious! However, my cousin thinks my aunt's cooking is even better! The eldest cousin said.
"You're blessed, tomorrow is Sunday, and my mother said to let you go to our house for dinner tomorrow night." Zhang Jiaming said.
"Well, I'll eat less at noon tomorrow and save my stomach for more at night." The eldest cousin said.
"In the future, you will be the general manager of the company, cousin, you won't be so unproductive!" Zhang Jiaming said with a smile.
"I mainly want to eat more vegetables to plug my mouth, otherwise I will lose too many words, and I will have to be complained by your cousin, right?" The eldest cousin said.
Zhang Jiaming smiled and continued: "I heard that the telecommunications bureau has recently put a thousand paging numbers inside the relevant departments, and tomorrow at dinner, you ask my father to apply for two for you, one you keep it, and the other you say to give it to me, and the other pager needs to buy a Chinese machine, so that it is convenient for us to connect." ”
"No matter how big I am as a general manager, I have to listen to the chairman, I will implement it as you arrange it!" Come, I'll toast the chairman with tea instead of wine! The eldest cousin said with a smile.
"Cheers!" Zhang Jiaming also smiled and picked up the teacup and touched it with his eldest cousin.
Zhang Jiaming is now just waiting for the negotiations with Jingchuan to succeed, he has already taken the pulse of the struggling Japanese company, and he plans to win the project at a low price, and he is full of confidence in this.
