Lin Qiang put on simple makeup, a brown wig and sunglasses, and the whole image looked like a mixed race with gray skin.

Lin Qiangsheng came to the northern Italian city of Turin, and to outsiders he looked like a tourist to Turin.

The Chinese negotiating team spent a week in France and has now returned home. Although the joint venture company has been determined abroad, it still needs to sign a contract in China.

After Li Gang and the others went back, they immediately reported the details to their superiors, and then the people from the province and the central government organized the implementation of the planning and research project, and the foreign engineering planner Mueller also went to China with an assistant.

In Italy, the general strike has stopped, but its aftermath is far from subsiding. For a long time, the wages of Italian workers were among the lowest in Western Europe, and there was a very sharp contradiction between Italian workers and employers, and all problems were completely erupted in this unprecedented general strike. 14 million workers took to the streets, demanding higher wages, all kinds of guaranteed benefits, and the whole of Italy was completely paralyzed in those days.

What kind of feeling is it for a country to lie on its stomach and the society is in a state of chaos!

This event completely changed the fate and things of some people, including the small family of Manuel and their precision machining factory.

The general strike ruined the factory's hopes of continuing operations, and workers demanded a wage increase for Manuel. In this difficult period of Italy's ongoing economic environment, factory operations have almost come to a standstill and the financial situation is in a difficult situation. Unable to cope with the workers' expectations of higher wages, Manuel Sr. soon fell ill and retreated into the background, and his son Manuel Jr. took over, feeling that the workers were too greedy to be satisfied, and decided to sell the factory and the family emigrated.

The plant has five three-axis CNC machining machines manufactured by the Italian company Fidia, and a four-axis machining center with the addition of rotary axes. There are also several sets of CNC precision machine tools.

Manuel Jr. is interested in selling the factory to get rid of the troubled labor movement, and Mr. Lin's negotiating team has been in contact with Manuel Jr. since receiving the news.

His asking price is not very high, the factory and the attached land are priced at 2 million US dollars, and the current negotiation team has pressed the price to 1.5 million, just waiting for Lin Qiangsheng to come over and make a decision.

Mr. Lin met Mr. Lamon-Tina, a negotiator he had hired, at the hotel, and the young lady had been tasked with contacting Mr. Lin to gather information from him.

Lin Qiangsheng sat on the sofa and looked at the photos and information. He can't get in touch with these industries right now. I am Chinese, it is better not to appear in the factory before the acquisition, in case it is spread out, a Chinese copy of the Italian industry, it will be a big news sensation in the world.

"Sir, the price of $1.5 million for the Manuel family's factory is already the lowest bottom line that little Manuel can promise! If he is persecuted again, I am afraid that the Manuel family will change their decision to sell the factory! Amentina cautiously said to the mysterious man in front of her.

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, picked up the pen and said, "Contract!" ”

Ammondina immediately happily picked out the contract and pointed to Lin Qiangsheng to sign it.

She sighed: It's an order again. What a bold young tycoon! In today's very sluggish economic environment in Italy, the company has such a big customer! It seems that relying on this Asian man's list alone, the company can survive this year unscathed.

Amuntina continued to pick up a copy of the text and said, "Nux Carbide Company is a metal products company that mainly produces cutting tools. The Italian market is currently flooded with cheap Japanese knives, and with large companies crowding out the market, it is becoming increasingly difficult for small and medium-sized companies like Nux to survive!

The market is difficult to open up, and shareholders are not interested in continuing to invest. Nux is just a small and medium-sized company with an annual turnover of less than one million dollars, although it has a wide range of products. But in recent years, the company has not been able to expand the market, and even the poor market share is shrinking!

After the general strike, the company completely lost the trust of its shareholders. We are already in talks with the shareholders of this company to acquire their shares. You'll have this company in no time! ”

"Oh?" Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly picked up the information provided by Amon Tina and looked down.

The domestic demand for high-end machine tools is very urgent! At present, for automobile factories, the quality of cutting tools cannot be guaranteed, which has become one of the main obstacles restricting the development of factories.

Without a good tool, it is difficult to ensure the process requirements, and high-end tools are needed for engine shell processing. In the middle of processing, the tool suddenly folds, the quality of the tool is not good, accidents occur frequently, and the processing accuracy is affected by strictness, and it is difficult to ensure product quality.

At present, due to the shortage of production, the automobile factory uses a lot of young workers. There are often tool fracture accidents in the processing process, although the young workers lack experience and technology, but the poor quality of the cutting tools is also unimaginable. Only first-class experience and superb craftsmanship can reduce such processing accidents, but it is impossible for the factory to have countless experienced masters who go into battle every day, and no factory can do such a requirement, so they can only find a way to process equipment and cutting props.

CNC machine tools and cutting tools are the necessary elements of production that Lin Qiangsheng cares about very much, and both occupy a very important position in the future industrial production.

Lin Qiangsheng quickly decided to take these two factories at any cost, especially since this Nux cemented carbide company also has a lot of alloy production process and technical materials, which he desperately wants. These things are brought back to China, and they can immediately make the domestic metal cutting tools go up one or two grades.

Italians have small factories with little investment, and their factories are more like workshops, so they always strive for excellence in what they make. However, their products are often not as smart as the Germans and Swiss, and the scale is not as good as the French and Japanese, which causes them to be unable to find their own market positioning, and they can't go up or down, and they can't afford to lose face to engage in low-price marketing, which is not embarrassing or embarrassing. If the Japanese come to a big sale one day, their product status will not be guaranteed, and their competitiveness will be too low.

But no matter what. Italy is also an old industrial country, and it borders the three countries of France and Germany, which are technologically developed, so their technical level is sufficient, which is much stronger than that in 79 years.

Mr. Lin quickly bought the carbide company, spending a total of $5.8 million, along with the factory land and machining equipment. It also includes a real room for metal smelting.

There are many more companies like this, such as Lin Qiangsheng found a small gear processing factory, and the machinery and equipment used in the factory are all new precision machine tools, and the products are all kinds of vehicle transmission gears. However, due to business difficulties, the factory owner had to decide to sell the equipment and use the factory for other purposes.

Such a factory only sells equipment and not land, so Lin Qiangsheng transported the equipment to Genoa, and then went directly to Hong Kong by sea to store it first.

Lin Johnson also set up a second-hand equipment recycling company in Italy, and recruited some locals to manage the operation. It mainly acquires second-hand equipment from European countries.

At Comau's headquarters in Turin, today a special and mysterious guest is welcomed.

Lin Qiangsheng wore big sunglasses, a black suit, a black tie, a black shirt, black leather shoes, and a pair of black leather gloves on his hands.

The whole person's dress is extremely imposing, giving people a strong sense of oppression. I don't know if the West uses black clothes as mourning clothes and mafia dress, in short, Comau carefully greeted this guest.

President Kalmago personally greeted Lin Qiangsheng, and soon the group entered the small conference room, refusing to be snooped by irrelevant people.

Comau invited Lin Johnson. Negotiated the outsourcing of production equipment for automobile plants.

Comau was founded in '76 and until then had only supplied equipment to Fiat. The total amount of Lin's order reached 100 million US dollars. Coma attaches great importance to Lin Qiangsheng's order.

They hope to break through the embarrassment of not being able to get out of the Italian market for several years, so as to win future development opportunities for the company.

It is said that this Asian gentleman, a Hong Kong native, wants to set up a car company in Southeast Asia. Although it is far away from Europe, Comau is also very eager for this order. They also want to be able to contract all the work for the car company. The powertrain production line and body welding production line are the main products of Comau, and the remaining spare parts manufacturing equipment such as body casting, painting production line, and automatic assembly production line can also provide customers with supporting equipment. It is better to take on the training of workers in the automobile factory and directly to the turnkey project.

"Mr. Lin. Rest assured! Italy's body casting, automobile spraying technology, and assembly line are no worse than those of the Germans, and our equipment is even better than the Germans! Marcelo gushed about the performance of the Italian machine.

Lin Qiangsheng secretly thought at this time: he was about to go to court with the Germans, although he could not attend the court, but he also had to show up. Will Dürr refuse to supply its coating equipment because its main partner is Volkswagen? Quite possibly! Then the Italian is a good choice for yourself!

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said a few words to Ammontina, who immediately said to Carmacio in Italian: "Mr. Lin agrees to adopt Comau's overall plan, and Comau will provide outsourcing services for the automobile factory that Mr. Lin is about to invest in!" ”

The Italians' joy was on their faces, and Marcaccio even stood up and hugged his colleagues, knowing that at this time they were just a small company owned by Fiat, and they got an order of 100 million US dollars at once, how could Comau not be excited. Especially in the current period when the Italian economic environment is not good and workers are on strike one after another, such a large order will undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the whole company and give employees great confidence!

The president of Coma personally served a glass of champagne to Lin Qiangsheng, and said excitedly to the young Lin Qiangsheng: "I wish you a long life, sir!" ”

After listening to Ammontina's translation, Lin Qiangsheng was stunned for a moment, raised his glass and smiled: "I will!" (To be continued......)
