"Oh, there are so many Chinese!" As soon as they walked into the workshop, Yu Hongda, Cong Fukui and others were surprised. ≯≯

Cong Fukui asked strangely: "Xiaolin, what's going on, why are our eyes full of us Chinese, are we returning to China?" ”

Everyone was also surprised that there were many female workers in the long rows of large looms. These people are all Chinese faces, and the men who are moving products back and forth are all Chinese faces, and there are no foreign faces in this factory. This made foreigners in the United States, whose eyes were full of flowers and green heads, suddenly saw familiar faces again, and they were stunned, so unaccustomed!

Lin Meihua said with a smile: "San Francisco and Los Angeles are areas with a very high concentration of Chinese, so we can easily recruit so many Chinese employees here. We believe that they are not only capable, but also better managed than foreigners! ”

Yu Hongda and others were very surprised, they never expected that there were so many Chinese abroad, this factory is very large, it is estimated that there are more than 2oo male and female workers, distributed in the workshop.

Lin Qiangsheng said to Yu Hongda: "These workers have mastered the technology of shuttleless looms, and when they set up a textile factory in the city, they can be invited to return to China to become masters and teach experience!" ”

Lin Meihua said: "All the shuttleless water jet looms used in this workshop are the production of hydrophobic filament chemical fiber fabrics with smooth surfaces. The weft insertion methods of shuttleless looms are varied, including rapier, jetting (air jet, water jet), projectile shuttle, multi-shed (multi-phase) and weaving. Suitable for different fabric and product needs. ”

A leader of the Industrial Bureau walked up to a loom and said: "It is indeed quiet, much quieter than the domestic looms, and this degree is also fast, the efficiency is too high!" ”

"Not only that, the material loss of this shuttleless loom is also small, which can save material costs very well!" Lao Wu said.

Yu Hongda and others nodded, and felt that the introduction of this shuttleless loom was very good, Cong Fukui said: "There are also several textile factories in the city, and this kind of equipment can also be introduced, and it is very important to increase production!" ”

"I'm afraid this investment is too big, we have a total of three textile factories, the city's flax factory has more than 5ooo workers, two textile factories in the following two counties, a large factory with tens of thousands of people, and the other has more than oo workers, and it is difficult to transform!" Liao Changbin, director of the Light Industry Bureau, said.

Hearing these numbers, Cong Fukui was also speechless: "No wonder the reform of state-owned enterprises is difficult, you say that the salary is still difficult after raising so many people, let alone exhibition!" ”

Everyone also nodded in deep opinion, the large number of enterprise personnel is indeed a big problem, now there is no state-owned enterprise in the city that does not need loans to operate, their loans are not used to introduce equipment to improve the process, but to deal with the problem of workers' wages. In particular, almost every one of the city's three state-owned textile factories is losing money.

"Comrade Xiaolin, I think this fully automatic machine is good, but it can't arrange much labor!" Liao Changbin is a pity, the introduction of new technologies will inevitably eliminate some jobs.

Lin Qiangsheng didn't mind, and said to everyone: "Textile is a big industry, including clothing, home textiles, and industrial fabrics. Bedding alone includes bedspreads, sheets, quilt covers, quilt covers, towel quilts, pillow cores, quilt cores, pillowcases, pillow towels, in addition to home textiles, curtains, carpets and so on. As for the clothing category, there are even more items in it.

As far as I know, in Southeast Asia, there is a city that produces towels, or breasts. It is not surprising that a project can support a city's economic exhibition, and the textile industry is quite a promising project, and the market is very broad! ”

Liao Changbin also agrees very much, but the inherent impression of the backward domestic textile industry is difficult to reverse for a while. In addition, but it is also difficult to understand that a city relies on the production of towels and breasts. What does the hood look like?

"It is very correct to let foreign-funded enterprises enter our city, the coastal areas have been developed in recent years, we are lagging behind, but it is not too late now!" Yu Hongda said concludingly, and everyone couldn't stop nodding.

Then, they went to the printing and dyeing workshop, which was more open, and the machines and equipment were all tall and three-dimensional.

Yu Hongda and others learned that the output of this textile enterprise caught up with a textile factory with the size of an OO person in the city, which really shocked everyone.

The next day, the group continued to visit a feed production company and saw the production process of chicken feed and pig feed in the United States.

Lin Qiangsheng imported production equipment and process technology for chicken feed, pig feed and cattle feed from this company, and he was interested in buying the feed company called Purina.

They are also engaged in pet care and pet nutrition, that is, making pet food, pet nutrition products. McKinsey is helping him lobby for the Britannia oil company is also said to be interested in buying the Purina.

In the next two days, everyone visited the pig industry chain in the United States, from feed, breeding, breeding, slaughtering, deep processing, and distribution of the one-stop exhibition model.

The delegation opened their eyes, they did not expect the Americans to put so much effort into pigs, and I heard that pork is not the main meat of the Americans, they are good at beef.

During the visit, Lin Qiangsheng also signed purchase contracts with various enterprises by the way, or purchased equipment and technology, or introduced live animals such as breeding pigs, breeding cattle, breeding sheep, breeding poultry, or freezing J liquid.

American Global Breeding Co., Ltd. and American Select Male Cattle Co., Ltd., their sales managers came to the door. These two companies specialize in selling high-quality bovine frozen j-liquid, dairy cows, and beef cattle. In addition, Wisconsin-based Genetics Inc. provides high-quality breeding cattle.

Mr. Lin has established long-term relationships with these companies, which will then send breeding experts to China for more professional training.

The United States already has the technology to optimize breeding, control sex, and increase the yield of cow calves, and they can reach up to 9o% of newborn calves are cows!

After that, Lin Qiangsheng and Yu Hongda led the inspection team and came to Waterloo, Wisconsin, non-stop to visit the Trick Bicycle Factory.

Here, he meets Trek's frame designer Tim Isaac, as well as Trek's founder, Richard Burke, and his son, John Burke.

The surname Burke comes from France, because Europe is the origin of bicycles, bicycles are known by a Frenchman named Sifrac, and Europe is also the host of various famous bicycle competitions, the Tour de France is a very famous sporting event.

The crowd entered the bicycle factory, which was still relatively new, and only opened in '83. The members of the delegation were surprised, there were only less than 4o workers in the whole workshop, but before they came, they said that this is a bicycle factory with an annual output of 2o thousand vehicles, although the automation efficiency of the machine is very high, but how they produce so many cars, everyone is puzzled!

Mr. Lin plans to buy Trek outright, after all, this is a very young bicycle brand in its early teens. But as soon as he proposed the idea, the Burke father and son firmly rejected it.

Richard Burke shook his head again and again and said, "Mr. Lin, this is my only career, I will not sell it, Trek is my life!" ”

His son John Burke was even more excited and said, "Mr. Lin, we will not sell Trek, I have a lot of dreams and hard work here, and I will not sell it if I take over here in the future!" ”

"Amazing, I apologize!" Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, this father and son are men who regard bicycles as their lives!

He was quite impressed, so he said: "Then how about I invest $8oo in Trek and buy 5o% of the shares?" ”

Richard Burke did not refuse, hesitated, and said: "Of course we hope that there will be investors, but I prefer that investors' shares should not exceed 25%, this is my bottom line!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng spread his hands and said, "Okay, just 25%!" I think we might be able to sit down and negotiate a good price, and I'm very optimistic about the Trek Bicycle Company's show! ”

“

Lin Qiangsheng nodded with a smile and said, "So now, can we talk about the patent transfer of Cuike's 85O steel mountain bike, as well as the patents of the 75O and 95O road bikes, and even the patent issues related to the Cuike 2ooo aluminum alloy road racer!" ”

When John Burke was about to speak out against it, Lin Johnson said to them: "You know, even if I don't get the patented technology from Trek, I can find another bicycle brand to get the same technology, I'm very optimistic about Trek, I don't want a rift between us, or some unpleasantness!" ”

Knowing that the other party was right, Richard nodded and said, "Okay then, but I have the first condition, you can't produce bicycles in the United States with our technology!" ”

"OK, no problem!" Facing the stubborn father and son, Lin Qiangsheng laughed and stretched out his hand to shake them.

This made everyone who visited inexplicable, they didn't understand, why a bicycle company would let Lin Qiangsheng pay so much attention, is the bicycle very high-tech? No way!

However, even if the bicycle is not high-tech, as long as Dongxing Group invests in building a factory, then Yu Hongda and others are extremely welcome, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and it is not easy to pick up a foreign investment! (To be continued.) )8
