Chapter 358: Daring

Lin Qiangsheng attended the University of Modena, and Villanica became his assistant, and the two negotiated that Lin Qiangsheng would provide Villanica with a monthly salary of $1,200, so that Villanica would be responsible for Lienica's contact with the school teachers and help him with his classes.

Italy has the lowest wages and living expenses in developed countries in Europe and the United States, and workers here earn less than other developed European countries.

Lin Qiangsheng found that it was really convenient to have an assistant like Villanica to help him go to college, and the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit, and even Villanica acted as Lin Qiangsheng's Italian teacher. Lin Qiang usually conversed with Villanica in Italian, and Villanica would sometimes teach some Latin to Lin Qiangsheng.

Latin is a language formed during the Roman period, while modern Italian is a language that was Latinized after the fall of the Roman Empire, in addition to French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian are all Latinized, so they all belong to the Latin language family.

Although Old Latin is now a dead script, it still has some applications in chemistry, biology, literature, and other disciplines. Italians basically think that Latin is ancient Italian, which is equivalent to the difference between Chinese vernacular and classical Chinese, and Italian students above secondary school must take Latin. This is also a necessary elective course in college, and Lin Qiangsheng has a bit of an advantage in this kind of language memory, and rote memorization is his specialty.

Villanica also gradually discovered that her employer was special, first of all, Lin Qiangsheng's ability to accept was very fast, some grammar knowledge was easy to remember after being handed over to him, and Lin Qiangsheng mastered the memory course very quickly.

But her employer also has a big disadvantage, that is, Lin Qiangsheng will often pay attention to the progress of his business, and sometimes go to Germany or the United States and other countries for short-term stays, often at this time Villanika needs to communicate with the teachers to arrange his courses.

During these months. Lin Qiangsheng has always been concerned about the sales of new cars after the four Frankfurt Motor Shows were exhibited.

Bruchette has signed contracts with hundreds of car sales companies, and he and Mr. Lin expect at least 900 more dealers to be able to support a car company. The sales network of a well-known car company does not have a scale of several thousand, otherwise it is embarrassing to call it a car company.

Lexus's Camry, Previa, Yaris, and Rez have all formulated European models according to the policies of some European countries, and the displacement is limited to 2.0L or less. In particular, Yaris is small and flexible with European characteristics, and has been favored by Europeans, with orders reaching more than 20,000 units in four months!

The car assembly plant in Ben Thanh has installed and upgraded a full set of new production lines. In the end, the finished cars of this factory will not be supplied to China, at least according to Lin Johnson's ideas, 90 years ago, it was not like domestic supply, only exported!

The car company uses a "Toyota-style order" production method, trying to shorten orders and delivery dates, so in order to adapt to the actual situation in the country, Eriksson has to make some changes to this production method. The sales performance of each quarter is forecasted, and the factory supplies to foreign countries according to the forecast data, so as to minimize the waiting time for customers to pick up the car and avoid losing potential customers due to capacity problems.

The company has also put part of the production capacity of some core components into overseas production, with factories in Stuttgart, Germany, and suburban counties near Atlanta, the capital of Georgia in the United States. Both can produce products such as powertrains as well as transmissions. In order to minimize foreign tax sanctions and disruption to product sales, Lin Qiangsheng set up highly modern assembly plants in both factories and recruited some local workers, which contributed to the increase in local employment and tax revenue. Stuttgart-based BOSS has also become a joint customer, supplying electronics such as ABS braking systems for these cars.

How to manage and build an automobile company without providing products in China but only relying on foreign countries is also a concern of the group's leadership in advance. Lin Xiang, Xue Shenghong and others naturally obeyed Lin Qiangsheng's arrangement, but many middle-level managers in the company had a lot of discussions. Do they think that if they don't do such a good domestic automobile market and only do foreign markets, the product quality will be so easy to improve? Is it so easy to earn money for foreigners? Will foreigners recognize car brands made in China?

Lin Qiangsheng resolutely follows his established policy and does not interfere with anyone, because he wants the car factory to produce products in accordance with European and American standards from the beginning of construction. Everything in the company is copied from the European and American systems!

In terms of production management, Erikson and his team are now in charge, and Lin hopes to reinvent the factory in five or six years. Cultivate a large number of high-standard workers and managers, so that the manufacturing genes of European and American high standards and strict requirements are integrated into the bones of this enterprise, and the blood is inseparable.

Lin Qiangsheng did not explain these considerations to the company's insiders, he only asked "I told you to do it". If you have an opinion, you can keep it, and if you can't figure it out, you can resign, and Lin Qiangsheng doesn't need to explain to others why he did it. In his mind, these people can't keep up with their own progress and are only eliminated, so why bother to explain it to them!

But there is also a big disadvantage to this, that is, although he can produce auto parts and semi-finished products in China, as long as he does not sell them in China, no one can control him. However, this kind of forced entry without saying hello has shocked the top level of the domestic government and the domestic industrial enterprises.

Although most of the auto parts he produces are exported in the form of loose parts and semi-finished products. But Lin Qiangsheng is also unwilling to try to export finished cars, which greatly alarmed the management agencies of the domestic automobile industry and the central leaders.

Li Gang, who has been transferred to China Automobile Corporation as general manager, has looked for Lin Qiangsheng no less than eight times before and after, and since the day the automobile factory started, there have been many caring phone calls to the president's office of Dongxing Company, and many high-level government officials have asked to see Lin Qiangsheng, all of which happened suddenly after the factory started. And now Lin Qiangsheng can only hide abroad to clean up, or how will he face those people at home!

As we all know, the domestic automobile industry stipulates that the shares of domestic enterprises must be equal to those of foreign investors, and foreign companies cannot enter China without 50% of the shares of domestic enterprises. No one has promised to enlarge the foreign share ratio!

However, Lin Qiangsheng wants to monopolize the shares of this automobile company and do it himself without letting others participate, which greatly undermines the country's policies for the development of the automobile industry!

But there is a problem here, if Lin Qiangsheng does not sell products in China and only treats China as a processing plant, there is no law that does not allow him to do so. So now there are no coercive measures to be taken against him in China, and Lin Qiangsheng can only be safe and sound even if he takes advantage of this cheap car factory!

On the other hand, Lin Qiangsheng has solved the employment of a large number of surplus people in the local society for the establishment of automobile companies. Dongxing Company has recruited 35,000 workers in various parts of H Province, and has acquired more than 30 manufacturing enterprises and resource-based production bases in and outside the province. This not only greatly relieves the local employment pressure and solves the living problems of surplus personnel, but also helps the local economy to recover economic development and the manufacturing industry.

On the other hand, it is even more terrible, everyone knows that automobiles are high-end products, since this company can produce automobiles and take the initiative to export to earn foreign exchange, then who is willing to offend them, and who does not let them produce is estimated to be sullen, and the 35,000 workers' jobs and the workers of the acquired enterprises will gather together is a huge force, and no one dares to move lightly!

This is the case at the local level, and even the central leadership is waiting to see what happens. How many times have the senior leaders gathered, invited many experts and scholars to give lectures and held meetings, and finally everyone found that if this company is determined not to sell cars in China, then there are really no laws and regulations to restrict them!

The products are sold in domestic production and abroad, especially in recent years, the processing of incoming materials, sample processing, and assembly of incoming parts, and the three-to-one supplement trade is not this form! If this kind of behavior is really illegal, then how can it be made up, and these foreign trade products are also not sold in their own country!

After researching and understanding, some people in the central government were surprised by the auto factory, and some agreed with their approach and some disagreed. Those who agree believe that cars are also products, and there is nothing wrong with putting them in three to one supplement; Those who disagree are those who think. After all, cars are different from general products, which belong to the large parts of the large parts, China has been engaged in cars for so many years and has not figured it out, how a small foreign capital is not a car manufacturer wants to understand the car in China and also specialize in export, it is like a joke! Later, the factory could not go bankrupt and closed down, and it was the state that cleaned up the mess, how could the enterprise be allowed to do nonsense!

After learning about Lin Qiangsheng's name, it was once again on some people's desks, and everyone remembered this bold young man because of this incident. After making trouble for a long time, even the identity of foreign capital is a sheep's head selling dog meat!

Although there are many debates between the domestic upper-level leaders and related industries, Lin Qiangsheng's automobile company does have the qualifications for foreign capital or the export of foreign exchange projects, and the central government cannot interfere with his normal production and business activities, and even cooperate with the enterprise in some aspects to do a good job in exports, such as the allocation of materials and logistics and transportation.

At the local level, the government is even more concerned about this company that can export cars. Don't say anything else. A car can cost thousands of dollars abroad, which is worth a lot more than processing shoes and shirts! Even the railway boss such as the railway transportation department, the leaders of H province have also done the work in front of the enterprise, and they take the initiative to say hello to the railway system to ensure that they are prepared when to transfer the wagons. Although the railway system is the iron boss belongs to the central direct management department, if you want to live comfortably in the local area, you must also cooperate with the local development, and the family building of the workers must at least ask the local government to approve the land!

However, the central government did not let Lin Qiangsheng do such nonsense, and the superiors also set up an investigation team to fully understand Lin Qiangsheng's enterprise development process, and also to investigate under what circumstances Lin Qiangsheng built an automobile company. Without the participation of the central government and local support, he really built the factory, where did his spare parts come from, what is his material supply system, and most importantly, how does he bring automotive products to the European and American markets!

The superiors were very interested in this, and somehow there was an additional car factory underneath, and this car factory was also inspired to make foreign products. The senior management even thought that if Lin Qiangsheng's practice could be learned and promoted, then the development vision of the automobile industry as the pillar of the national economy advocated by the central government in recent years could be put on the agenda!

If the business managers under his hands have Lin Qiangsheng's ambition or can learn from him and strive to enter the foreign market, then the current difficult economic situation and rigid enterprise system in China will be greatly improved. (To be continued......)
