Next chapter

Richard Burke personally presented Lin Johnson with a Trick 2000 aluminum alloy mountain bike, black, with silver paint decoration on the frame, very beautiful and beautiful!

There were so many people in the inspection group, and he was embarrassed to accept it. Simply, Lin Qiangsheng bought 47 mountain bikes of the same series in one go and gave them to Yu Hongda and his party.

Of course, Yu Hongda and others refused, but finally accepted such a gift. The people came to the United States not only to see it, but also to receive gifts, which was a great joy.

"Mr. Burke, how much does this bike cost?" Cong Fukui inquired about the young John Burke.

John Burke didn't think much about it, and said: "This is our latest product this year, it absorbs space technology, the frame is made of aircraft aluminum alloy materials, and each car is sold for $1100~1200 in the market!" ”

"Wow, that's worth a lot of money!" After listening to the translation, Cong Fukui exclaimed.

He secretly thought, Lin Qiangsheng is really generous, such a bicycle costs 10,000 yuan, he can't believe it, and he gives more than 40 of them, everyone has a share!

Since knowing the price, Cong Fukui can't put down this Cuike bicycle, and he doesn't even dare to ride it, for fear of bumping into it, there are really a lot of people who think the same way as him!

Since he came to Wisconsin, Lin Johnson led everyone to visit the new car factory on the outskirts of Kenosha.

Now the new car plant has become the base for the production of Lexus' flagship LS400 and the entry-level ES sedan. The workshop here is equipped with a new automotive production line, which is very automated.

Since its launch in the first half of the year, Lexus models have been warmly welcomed by the American auto market, and American car consumers who are tired of using Mercedes-Benz and BMW urgently need to change their tastes. This year, the sales of Lexus's two cars are expected to exceed 12,000 units, creating a miracle in the field of luxury car brands!

Experiencing some modern car-making technology, the members of the delegation were shocked. Automobiles, this is a big industry, products that can be seen and touched, and they see a cluster of new and bright new cars, slowly walking off the production line, this excitement is indescribable!

Then, Lin Qiangsheng took them to the city of Kenosha to visit the forest deep processing industry of Dongxing Group here.

The members of the delegation walked into the huge factory and everyone was shocked by the size of the place.

Lin Qiangsheng introduced: "Everyone, this was originally the car factory of the American Automobile Company, but it was abandoned after I bought it, and I moved the car factory outside the city, which is the car factory you saw first. And here, it has now been converted into a wood processing plant and a pulp production base! ”

"Amazing, Kobayashi is really doing a great job!" Everyone was amazed, with so many industries in the United States, they really didn't know how Lin Qiangsheng did it, and how Lin Xiangrong's son struggled, it was really beyond everyone's imagination!

"Our main products here are solid wood flooring and various types of boards, and pulp is also the main product, so come with me!"

Lin Qiangsheng met Du Ping here, she is now in charge of the paper industry and forest processing, in addition to the frequent travel between California and Hong Kong, doing the trade of waste paper, the rest is to supervise the factory in Kenosha.

Du Ping faced everyone, was a little reserved in the title, and said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Chairman Lin, our other emerging paper company has also been established here, which is a company that uses virgin wood pulp to specialize in the production of high-end household paper, and we specialize in the high-end paper market according to your instructions!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Yes, the piece of household paper is directly in contact with consumers, and we must pay attention to the creation of brand image!" ”

Du Ping nodded and said: "We have invited a professional brand designer to give a name, Shu Lang, **** Shu, etc., and the corresponding English translation has also been registered." In the future, the company will focus on the United States, Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, and at the same time explore the Chinese market and establish factories and production bases in the mainland! ”

Yu Hongda and his entourage did not expect that Dongxing Group also produces toilet paper. "The goods here will be transported to the large lakeport city of Milwaukee, via Lake Michigan to neighboring states, and to the east coast of the United States through the water transportation system of the Great Lakes of Guò," Lin said. ”

"The company previously summarized several high-speed tissue machines on the market, and from the perspective of operation, the crescent-shaped paper machine is the best in terms of production speed and stable operation, and it is the trend of the development of household paper machines. This kind of paper machine because of the large investment, at present our country has not been introduced, our Dongxing Group plans to establish a high-end household paper production base in Qi City, the production of high-end household paper products, the market prospects! Lin Qiangsheng said.

"Xiaolin, how much investment is needed for such a factory? Do you still need a lot of wood pulp, do you still need to build a wood pulp factory? Liao Changbin asked.

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Yes, according to the types of different products, different wood pulp raw materials should be produced, such as sulfate softwood pulp, mechanical wood pulp, refined wood pulp, etc. Dongxing plans to contract 5 million acres of natural forests and barren mountains and wasteland in the Daxinganling area in the next five years, implement measures such as closing mountains and cultivating forests, harvesting timber, and strive to create a world-class pulp forestry group in the future! ”

Yu Hongda and the others kept nodding and said, "Okay, this project is good!" ”

"How much does this investment cost?" Someone else asked.

Lin Qiangsheng saw that it was Wang Shubin, director of the mayor's office, he nodded and said: "It can only be said that it is not small, it is very big!" Fine paper, fine forestry, to be honest, these two industries have no foundation in our province, and we have to start from scratch, but our province has rich forestry resources, which is a congenital condition! Speaking of investment, Dongxing plans to build a factory in our city with an annual output of 150,000 tons of base paper and 200,000 tons of finished products. In addition, it invested in a 250,000 kilowatt power plant, a wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of 30,000 tons, and a modern water plant. We want to import two of the world's largest and most advanced household paper machines from Europe, with an investment plan of 360 million US dollars and a total investment of about 1.2 billion US dollars, which is the establishment of an industrial base including pulp and forestry! ”

"Hey, $1.2 billion!" The big guys were taken aback.

"The first phase of investment is 360 million US dollars, really" Cong Fukui was so surprised that he couldn't find an adjective.

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, and said in the face of the gaffes: "Paper investment is so big, small to create zào can not be profitable, the world's top ten paper groups, each with an annual turnover of tens of billions of dollars!" ”

"Uh, no, my heart can't stand it!" There are elderly leading cadres, who hurriedly covered their chests with their hands, and everyone hurriedly beat their chests and backs up and down to relieve him.

"Xiaolin, I see that your 250,000 kilowatt power plant can be built together with the 1 million kilowatt power plant in the city, and we can enlist state assistance!" Yu Hongda said sternly.

Lin Qiangsheng: "Oh? It's a good thing that the state can help, and I also want to do it in one step and make the power plant bigger! ”

Cong Fukui laughed and said: "Enough, with so much foreign exchange investment, the state will definitely approve the big power plant!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "That's not bad!" He had forgotten the importance of foreign exchange to the country at this time, let alone such a big project.

"Yes, this project can drive the development of forestry in our province, which is really good!"

Everyone couldn't be more surprised, this Lin Qiangsheng brought them one surprise after another. With him, it seems that the road under his feet is getting wider and wider, and everyone has this feeling!

After a night in Kenosha, they traveled to Franklin, Wisconsin, the next day to visit the Harley-Davidson motorcycle factory. Kenosha isn't far from Milwaukee, and Franklin is a satellite city of Milwaukee.

"Everyone, this time I will take you to learn about American culture, Harley spirit, freedom, individuality, enterprising, and taste from Harley motorcycles!" Lin Qiangsheng said.

"Yes, this gentleman said it well!" They were greeted by a manager-level figure from Harley.

He also said to the crowd: "One of the most important things in Halley's spirit is to always seek out unconquered territories! ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, this Harley spirit, he likes it!

The crowd walked into the Harley Museum and they were greeted by a large number of classic Harley-Davidson motorcycles on display.

"How much does this car cost?" Cong Fukui asked, looking at a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a large chrome trim on its owner.

"This motorcycle is expensive, isn't it? It is said that the money of a Harley can buy a car! A knowledgeable person said.

The receptionist nodded and said to the crowd, "Yes, half of Harley's production capacity is for high-powered heavy-duty motorcycles that cost $15,000 each!" Another 30% are equipped with high-end audio equipment, and each price is as high as $22,000 luxury high-end motorcycles, and the rest are light sports motorcycles that cost about $8,000 each! ”

"I can't afford to give this away, you have to buy it, so you can only come by yourself!" Lin Qiangsheng said to everyone jokingly.

Everyone laughed, Cong Fukui smiled: "Don't worry about this, even if you want to send it, we can't afford it!" ”

"Yes, that's right!" Everyone laughed.

At the same time, everyone is also stunned to look at these Harley-Davidson motorcycles, tens of thousands of dollars a piece, this is still the price of the United States, if it is imported into China, it will cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, strange, this is a motorcycle!

Everyone used to think that there was nothing new about motorcycles, and they could be made in China. Moreover, in recent years, Jialing and the Yellow River have imported technology from Japan, but the American motorcycle in front of them is obviously a higher grade!

Lin Qiangsheng arranged a tour of the project, and they originally wondered what the bicycle and motorcycle factories were good at. But after the actual visit, everyone found that whether it is a bicycle or a motorcycle, the Americans have done a very good job, and they are very serious about making products, and they want to do their best, and make top products!

Although everyone still doesn't understand what the spirit of craftsmanship is, this serious attitude towards products makes them awe-inspired!

Lin Johnson wants to cooperate with Harley Motorcycle Company to introduce American technology and production equipment.

According to Harley's revelation to the market, they are about to launch a new model next year (1986) called Harley's Agesotail.

This motorcycle is famous, and far-reaching, many manufacturers have imitated, it has a well-known name in the country - Prince Motorcycle! (To be continued.) )
