Early the next morning, Kim Do-joon, accompanied by Joshua and Han Sung-ho, went to Harleywood, Liverpool, where the Land Rover factory is located.

After attending the charity dinner last night, Walker sat impatiently and experienced the power of a Ferrari Enzo, and in the next two days, all the formalities would be completed and ready to be flown back to Seoul.

Now Kim Do-joon has got the key to this supercar and is lying quietly in Kim so-young's bag.

Sitting in the car, Kim Do-jun closed his eyes quietly, took a nap, and since yesterday, he hasn't slept much, and Joshua and Walker have been discussing the bank acquisition non-stop.

His eyes were bloodshot, he didn't rest for an hour, and he left the hotel on time before 8 o'clock in the morning.

Jaguar Land Rover's Harleywood plant in Liverpool, with more than 3,000 employees, has been a 50-year-old factory that has always represented the British automotive lineage, from its design, production to the birth of the brand, all of which can be traced back to its roots.

Built in 1963, it is a veritable old factory, but it is these 50 years of history that have precipitated the fine roots of each car.

3 hours is not a very long time, Kim Dojun also took advantage of this time to take a little rest, no way, if you don't sleep now, you will concentrate at all later, and when you come to the UK, you are not resting, but more tired.

When Kim Do-joon arrived outside the Hallwood factory, the company's CEO, Philip Walland, was already standing at the door, greeting him.

Get out of the car. Kim Do-joon was like a different person. Energetic. Dazzling, he took the coffee handed by Kim so Young, took a few sips, and walked straight down, shook hands with Philip Varan warmly, and then spoke.

"I didn't expect a factory to be so big, it's a bit unexpected!"

Kim Do-joon said with a slight joke, the expression on his face a little surprised. From the door, the neat factory buildings, towering office buildings, because in the suburbs of Liverpool, the environment looks quite good, lush, and blue sky and white clouds, especially beautiful.

"It's just one factory, one each in Bromichburg and Solihull. Other models of Jaguar and Land Rover are produced separately! It's mainly Land Rover's Freelander, as well as new cars that have just been developed. Let's talk as we go! ”

Philip Varan is quite well prepared for the arrival of Kim Do-jun, as the CEO of the automobile, he did not call out all the executives, there is no need, at this time, he should give full play to his talents in his own position, rather than blindly catering to Jin Daojun.

And Kim Do-jun is different, he is at the helm of KDJ, and it is unlikely that he will inspect all his industries, but as a highlight, the automobile industry is the focus of his attention, and he must come to the scene to take a look, Han Sung-ho has been here, and joshua also comes often, but it doesn't mean that he can rest assured that he doesn't care about anything, everything is reported by his subordinates, so that if there is any problem, or do something unfavorable to himself, this is still kept in the dark, and there is no doubt about employing people, and suspects do not need it, of course Kim Do-jun understands this truth, But the more power is delegated, the more fully prepared he must be in his heart.

Power corrupts, absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and he doesn't want his own lawyer department to personally take the executives he hired to court in the future.

As soon as Kim Do-joon was pacing and was about to walk forward, Varan took the helmet handed by the staff next to him and immediately spoke.

"Boss, this is the rule of the factory, even you have to abide by it, so please put on your helmet so that I can show you around!"

Europeans are notoriously old-fashioned, obeying order and the spirit of contract, even Kim Do-joon, who is no exception.

If in South Korea, how dare anyone talk to the boss like this, looking cowering and submissive, for fear that the boss will get angry, fire himself for squid, and keep bowing and apologizing.

In South Korea, the boss is the emperor, and he can do whatever he wants, and who dares to say no to his subordinates.

“OK！ No problem, you guys can wear it too! If you don't have anything to do, let's visit together, and if you don't want to go, stay in the car! ”

Joshua and Han Sung-ho come often, so Kim Do-jun is not reluctant, he has visited so many times, not everyone is interested, except for Walker, this guy looks like a curious baby, his eyes are wide, he sees the tail from the beginning, his head is held high, and he seems to have discovered a new world.

Joshua and Kim so Young didn't say a word, they took the helmets separately and buckled them on their heads, because it was a production workshop, it was easy to have safety accidents, and it was also appropriate to do so for the sake of the guests who visited.

Along the way, there were staff members who kept coming in and out, and when they saw Philippe Valan's figure, everyone greeted them warmly.

If it weren't for the CEO's drastic reforms, they might have gone bankrupt and laid off, and it was because of Kim Do-joon's acquisition that this long-established company did not disappear from people's sight, but survived with a more high-spirited attitude.

"How are the orders lately, and are the sales doing well?"

As Kim Do-joon walked, he looked around, from the environment of the factory, to the looks on the faces of the workers, to the work clothes they were wearing, he could probably see that he should be doing well.

Because Land Rover's trademark is green, the workers in the factory wear green overalls, which are clean and spotless, and many times, in the engineering of manufacturing cars, cleanliness is quite important.

Varan and Kim Do-jun walked side by side, dragging a little behind, he was not qualified to walk with Kim Do-jun, only Han Sung-ho, who didn't care about anything, dared to hang his arm and put it on Kim Do-jun's shoulder, but not now, he was lying in the car alone and didn't want to get down!

After hearing this, Valan lifted his glasses and immediately responded.

"From the feedback of orders, Land Rover's orders are significantly higher than Jaguar's, and the proportion of SUVs is too large. and the European and North American markets. It's not going well. However, in Asia, especially in China and India, sales are growing quite fast, exceeding 20 percent compared to the same period last year, which is quite a lot of potential! ”

This news is neither good nor bad, at least it gives itself a great direction. The automotive market of the future is not in Europe, nor in the Americas, but in Asia.

With a large population and an increase in people's incomes, it is destined to be the main battlefield of future automobile consumption, and whoever can seize the Chinese and Indian markets will be able to take the lead among many automobile companies.

Kim Dojun nodded after hearing this, and didn't say anything, since the power was given to him, he was in charge. He is not an automotive professional, but he is good at analysis and management. Professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, and not laymen should manage insiders, which will neither give full play to their enthusiasm, nor drive the production efficiency and sales of enterprises, which is a bit more than worth the loss

"How is the current form, are there any difficulties, or areas that need to be solved by me?"

"At the moment, everything is going according to plan, the only thing that needs to be coordinated by the boss may be the call I received from Joshua last night, saying that in the next three years, I will re-select the site in the UK and build a factory, is this true?"

When I received the call last night, it was quite late, and I was sleeping, a little dazed, and I woke up in the morning to react, so I specially asked.

This is actually a private deal with the two ministers, they need to keep Jaguar and Land Rover in the UK, and Kim Do-jun also followed their wishes to fight for more benefits.

"Hmmm! It's true, but these details, you still need to have a good connection with Joshua, if there is any problem, let him explain to you later, you take the time to have a good chat, the main reason is for the development of the company, in a few months, I may have to buy two British banks! ”

Kim Do-joon's words were not full, but he just said that it was possible, after all, the matter has not yet been determined, and there are still certain variables, although the two ministers have made it clear that they will support KDJ Group in this round of acquisitions and provide certain help, but these help still depend on the strength of the group itself.

They will not stupidly watch these two banks be bought and face the brink of bankruptcy, so they will not make a decision easily before Kim Do-joon shows his strength.

The two of them walked in front, Varan stretched out his finger and explained in detail to Kim Do-jun the equipment in the production workshop, the automobile factory is all assembly line production, mechanization is more common, and employees only need to press the button to operate.

Kim Do-jun kept nodding his head, signaling that he understood.

The Hallewood plant's press shop is one of the largest in Europe and can operate 24 hours a day, in three shifts of eight hours.

80 percent of Jaguar Land Rover's total demand for panels comes to this stamping shop.

All cars produced at the Hallwood plant are processed in a state-of-the-art paint shop for up to 10 hours, including cleaning, protection and baking, and the new 39,000-square-meter automated logistics equipment will effectively improve the efficiency and supply of all auto parts production lines.

After walking for a while, he came to another workshop, Jin Daojun was shocked by the scene in front of him, and Varan looked at Jin Daojun's performance with great satisfaction, opened his mouth slightly, and was a little speechless.

The field the size of 22 football fields is really a big exaggeration, and after a simple count, there are more than 550 welding robots, constantly busy.

These behemoths are busily spinning around, making a sizzling sound of welding.

Carry out daily work on the car's site.

Varan pointed to one of them and said with a slight smile.

"There are more than 500 robots here, which can reach 800 million welds per year, 32 million times of inlay, the most amazing thing is the yellow robot, which has the highest intelligence, and is also one of the most proud works of our factory, which can identify all models, whether it is Land Rover or Jaguar, as long as it enters the working state, one side of the body can be installed on the base, and the robot at the other end performs the same operation, and the other side of the body is also installed on the base, and then slides to the next station through the sliding track. In the combination of installation, coated with black rubber tape, this coated tape used annually can reach 23 million meters long! ”

When Varan said this, he was obviously in a much higher mood, and I have to say that the equipment in this factory is still quite advanced.

After walking for a while, Kim Do-joon noticed something quite interesting. (To be continued......)
