Chapter 200: A Visit to Hafei
At the Capital Airport, Lin Qiangsheng received a delegation from Italy via Xiangjiang for business with Comau director and CEO Kalmaggio.
It's the end of June, the best time of year in Beijing. Wearing a fashionable long dress, a wide-brimmed hat on her head, and slightly bare white shoulders with blond-brown hair, this Italian woman appeared in front of Lin Qiangsheng refreshingly.
"Hi Lin! You are really an old friend of our Comau, you have a lot of business! Every time it brings us a lot of orders, how do you say Comau should thank you? Marcelo spoke broken English and hugged Lin Qiangsheng vigorously, smiling.
Lin Qiangsheng also smiled and whispered: "As long as you provide me with a few more sets of high-precision machining centers!" ”
Kalmarqiao smiled and hidden: "This is not easy, you know that our Comau company is now large, and Batumi has a stricter scrutiny of us than before!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded, turned his head to look at Amentina and hugged her warmly, and said with a smile: "Welcome, Amantina, you are so beautiful in this long dress!" ”
Ammontina was praised by Lin Qiangsheng, kissed him twice on the cheek happily, and said, "Thank you Lin, you are becoming more and more gentlemanly!" ”
Marcio took a small box at this time, and said with a smile: "Lin, this is a gift specially ordered for you by our company, I hope you can like it!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng raised his eyebrows, took the box and asked, "Can I open it and take a look?" ”
"Of course, it's yours now!" Carmacio smiled enthusiastically.
It is a cardboard box in the color of kraft paper, which is very beautiful, with gilt Italian characters on it. Lin Qiangsheng opened it, revealing the gift in the box!
"It's so beautiful!" Lin Qiangsheng praised in surprise, it turned out that the gift turned out to be a car simulation model. And it is also a model of a silver Jetta.
"Hot Wheels Jetta Model Commemorative Edition!" Lin Qiangsheng read with a small card. It turns out that this model is a simulation model produced by Hot Wheels, which is a world-famous simulation car film brand.
"Thank you, Carl! I like it very much, thank you! Lin Qiangsheng said happily to Carmacho.
"If you like it, commemorate our friendship!" Carmacio said heartily.
Carl brought a total of five assistants, and they did not leave the airport. Instead, Lin Qiangsheng led him to the departure hall.
Chen Yao walked behind Lin Qiangsheng, and when she saw that the beautiful woman in Italy had just kissed Lin Qiangsheng, and she was also very close at this time, she straightened her chest and deliberately said loudly to Amentina: "Hello, I'm Chen Yao!" ”
Amantina looked at Chen Yao, smiled and gave her a hug, "Hello, Ammontina!" Nice to meet you! ”
Chen Yao was hugged by Amantina all of a sudden, and then she felt the plumpness of the woman, and for a moment she forgot what she was going to say.
At this time, Lin Qiangsheng was still on the side, smiling inexplicably. After Chen Yao woke up, he looked at him and gritted his silver teeth in a depressed mood, and thought fiercely in his heart: "Big villain! I hugged this woman and kissed her, this woman is so big, will he think I'm small?"
"Carl, let's transfer here directly, there is a passenger plane to Bencheng in more than 30 minutes, I have already booked a ticket!" Lin Qiangsheng looked at his watch. Said to Carmacho.
Carmacio nodded and said, "Of course, we should hurry!" My employees don't want to spend too much time in China! ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded with a smile and said, "It won't be long!" ”
Today, Kalmaggio is a major shareholder of Comau. Due to the successive large orders, his position in the company has risen. As the owner of the Fiat Group, in order to retain talents, it gave Carl a 3.3% stake. As a large enterprise with an annual output value of hundreds of millions of dollars, these shares are quite a lot for a natural person, not to mention that Karmacho also enjoys a lot of equity dividends every year.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, the group got on the plane.
Sit in a humble airliner seat. Kalmacho smiled bitterly and said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Lin, do you know? It is extremely rare in the world for a country as big as yours to still use such an old plane! He stomped his foot, and there was a thud on the metal plate of the capsule.
Lin Qiangsheng blushed. At this time, they were sitting in an Il-18 airliner, a four-engine turboprop developed in the 50s, carrying 84 passengers, flying at a speed of 675 km/h, and a maximum range of 6,500 km.
At present, there are only 140 transport aircraft in domestic civil aviation, and most of them are Il-14 and Li-2 aircraft produced and manufactured in the 50s or 40s, with a passenger capacity of only more than 20 or more than 40 people, and less than 20 medium and large aircraft with a passenger capacity of more than 100 people, most of which are old-fashioned Trident, Il-62 and Boeing 707.
What does this make Lin Qiangsheng say, can he say that his country is poor and can't afford to buy a good plane?!
He thought for a moment and said to Carmacho: "You know that China is a huge area, and Bincheng is just a small point on the map of our country!" ”
Karl Maccho smiled and said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Dear Mr. Lin, why don't you enjoy life like a rich man?" If you have a private jet, that's a lot easier! ”
Lin Qiang nodded in confusion and asked, "Private jet?" I never thought about it! ”
"Yes, Mr. Lin! I'm currently choosing between luxury private jets from Gulfstream, Beechcraft, and Raytheon, or should I look for an Italian private jet manufacturer, you say? As he spoke, Calmacho began to boast about his plans to buy an airplane.
"Hehe" Lin Qiangsheng smiled, listening to Karma Cho gushing in front of him to describe the convenience and safety of private jets, Lin Qiangsheng suddenly moved.
But then he shook his head and said: "Aviation fuel in our country is not very easy to get, and private flights are prohibited in the sky, I'm afraid such an interesting thing can only be played by you foreigners!" ”
Kalmago laughed and said: "If you earn money, you should treat yourself well, you really don't know how to live!" ”
There were also Coca-Cola and cigarettes on the plane, and Marcaccio took a few glances and took out a box of hardcover cigars from his suit pocket.
"Uh" Lin Qiangsheng was surprised, he didn't expect to see Karma Marcio again to change so much, and now he is completely like a nouveau riche.
After taking the plane for more than three hours, Lin Qiangsheng and others landed safely at Bincheng Airport at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
This time, Hafei's leaders and Eriksson and others went to the airport to greet them, and the group directly took the bus to Hafei's headquarters.
"Friends from afar, the company has held a welcome banquet for you, everyone come with me!" One of Hafei's leaders said to everyone with a smile.
After listening to the translation, Carmago shook his head and said, "Oh no! No hassle, we had lunch on the plane. Let's start touring the workshop right away, and our engineers will be working right away! ”
Comau is not unaware of Chinese mainland, on the contrary, dealing with Chinese several times has allowed these Italians to summarize a lot of Chinese work styles. For example, Chinese like to contact friendship before work, and they may also contact foreign businessmen during work. But the shape of these contacts is to discourage the Italians, and if they don't refuse, the Chinese can drink them to death here at the wine table!
For Italians, this is too terrifying, they like to drink wine and engage in salons, they can't come to liquor, and they don't want to accept the Chinese wine table culture.
"What's wrong?" The leader of Ha Fei scratched his head and looked at the people on his side, they were completely kind, but these gringos were stunned and didn't accept it!
"Mr. Fu, let's visit the factory workshop first, and wait for the visit to be over!" The moderate Swede Eriksson said to General Manager Fu Yulong, the Chinese leader of Hafei, at this time.
Fu Yulong looked at everyone, nodded helplessly and said, "Then let's visit first, our factory should not have much of a problem." In terms of machine equipment, we need to ask foreign parties to help transform it, and the production line also needs to trouble them. ”
Everyone on the Chinese side was slightly disappointed, a sumptuous banquet was gone, and they didn't know when this meal would be eaten!
Eriksson nodded and said a few words to Carmacho, and the two of them nodded, and the Koma engineers began to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Hafei.
HAC now has more than 10 large and small supporting enterprises and research units, and a huge Soviet-style factory building. A workshop that used to produce helicopters is definitely not small, and this scale is much better than the original foundation of the Ben Cheng Automobile Factory.
"Wow! This factory basically does not need to be changed, just add three-dimensional production facilities and add production lines! Marcio said at first glance at the workshop.
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Yes, the infrastructure of the factory is very good, and there is no need to do time-consuming and laborious infrastructure work!" ”
What they said, Hafei also had a translator on the Chinese side tell the Chinese leaders, and Fu Yulong asked Eriksson: "Who is this young gentleman?" ”
Eriksson said to him: "Mr. Lin Qiangsheng, an important shareholder of our company! He just briefly introduced it to Fu Yulong and others, as for who Lin Qiangsheng was, he could only let Fu Yulong guess.
"I didn't expect you to have Chinese shareholders!" A Chinese cadre suddenly realized.
"It can't be Chinese, it must be Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots or overseas Chinese!" How is it possible for Chinese to own shares in companies abroad? Never heard of it! Another argued.
Everyone nodded, thinking that what he said made sense. How can the Chinese have such great strength and own the shares of the partner, you must know that just for the equipment transformation and introduction of the production line of Hafei, they calculated that the foreign party will pay at least 50 million US dollars, not to mention that the partner promises to invest hundreds of millions of dollars!
