Chapter 133: Never Look Back
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Qiangsheng was in a port area in Genoa. He sat in a black sedan and stared at two large trucks in the distance transporting two containers into the port.
The container contained the biggest takeaway of his trip, a set of Toshiba four-axis CNC linkage machining centers and eight sets of 2.5-inch monocrystalline silicon growth furnaces. Later, some equipment will be transported to the hot port, and then shipped back to China.
This early set of Toshiba products was not very used, and to the chagrin of the Italians, its parts and maintenance costs were surprisingly expensive, so someone willing to take them over and resold them cheaply, and the contract also stated that it was scrap steel products, and it was impossible to find it even if they wanted to look it up later.
The 2.5-inch monocrystalline silicon growth furnace is obsolete equipment, and the 3-inch monocrystalline silicon growth furnace is already popular in Europe and the United States, and some electronics industry giants have even begun to study the 4-inch furnace. The old 2.5-inch furnace not only consumes a lot of heat, but also wastes energy and is not environmentally friendly. In the face of the increasingly severe environmental protection laws in Europe and the United States, these are all things that should be eliminated. But for China, these 2.5-inch stoves are also hard to come by.
There are many second-hand equipment like this in Europe and the United States, and Lin Qiangsheng plans to make the recycling business bigger and stronger and fully tap this market.
He set up a recycling company, hired senior managers, and planned to make the company a serious business.
These equipment is one of the biggest gains of his trip to Italy, electronic products have always been synonymous with high-end atmosphere, which company does not take advantage of electronics in later generations, in order to make himself not a turtle, Lin Qiangsheng has the opportunity to take advantage of this.
Mr. Lin drove back to the hotel in a BMW 2002 from the 70s, which he had rented from the hotel. The front face of the current BMW car is very funny, like two small nostrils standing up in front of the car.
Matthew, the professional manager of the second-hand recycling company, is very grateful to his boss for the economic downturn. Gave myself a job. He was also conscientious in his attitude towards work, followed Lin Qiangsheng to Regang, busy with the transportation of equipment and booking ships, and arranged a qiē properly. It would be even more perfect if Matthew could provide more second-hand equipment for Lin Qiangsheng in the future.
The next day. Mr. Lin flew back to the United States, checked the finances of Xpress in Newark, chatted with Roy, the manager here, and rushed back to New York.
Lin Johnson's definition of a fashion brand is publicity plus publicity, so he targeted Roy, who has been in a modeling agency for a long time, as the general manager of Xpress. For Roy, who has been working in the fashion industry for a long time, the position of general manager of a fashion company is much better than that of an agent. In order to motivate her, Lin Qiangsheng even gave a 5% annual profit reward.
Domestically, Bincheng Automobile Company and DBR Company in H Province reached a cooperation agreement, and the two sides officially signed a contract. Lin Johnson & Johnson has transferred the domicile of DBR to the Cayman Islands. After signing the contract. The company owns 50 percent of the car company's shares and is also responsible for 80 percent of the export rights to produce and sell cars, under a 30-year contract.
This condition is so good, Lin Qiangsheng happily pulled Ryan to dance in the house, and the two of them circled around the house at night, almost causing the neighbors to call the police.
With such good conditions, the honest Germans did not agree! I don't know if they're rigorous or rigorous. The German negotiators were actually deducting one question after another with the people of the SH negotiation team. And without solving a single problem. Never go any further. You want to exchange issues with him, such as when talking about production volume, and at the same time talking about exports, or then about legal issues. The Germans are not biased, and they are consumed by the people on the SH side. In many ways, although SH began to negotiate with the Germans in '78. However, it was not until the results of H Province came out and established a car company that SH was frustrated that it seemed that the Germans were not so good.
Bincheng in H Province has made a big move and began to break ground on the construction of a new large-scale factory area along the riverside. This automobile factory will produce 300,000 cars a year, and after the news was released, the whole country was shaken. Such a large factory is difficult for any domestic automobile factory to look at. This car factory with an annual output of 300,000 units is more than ten times more than the total domestic automobile production in 79 years! What a concept!
The whole provincial capital is excited, and people come from afar to watch the construction site every day.
The central government is eager to set up the factory as soon as possible, and H Province has also issued a strict order to use a qiē resource to ensure that the automobile factory will be completed before October!
The original family area of the automobile factory was also demolished as a whole because of the planning of the factory area, and they will be arranged to build a workers' community in the south.
These workers and their families will live in the workers' community free of charge, and the buildings in the community are still European-style rooms designed by foreign architects, with a standard usable area of 120 square meters per household. This can make them beautiful, and they boast that the joint venture company is good!
Before the joint venture was officially completed, the workers were first given a big pie. This pie immediately set off a small @ tide of warm welcome for foreign investment among the more than 2,000 existing workers, and the workers asked if they could also enter the new community to be built.
Li Gang and Lin Xiangrong, after discussing with the foreign manager Barr, decided to release the news to the workers, who will quickly enter the working state after training in the new factory in the future, and strictly follow the regulations of the joint venture company, will be given priority to go upstairs.
After this news was announced, more than 2,000 workers were very happy. The workers said one after another, don't they just want to listen to the big nose? The old and young masters and the women and girls did it in order to go upstairs!
The construction of the factory is completely in accordance with the standard construction of a modern factory, and strict requirements are adopted. Lin Qiangsheng plans to build this factory within 20 years, and there will be no major changes. The factory floor is clean, and the floor is required to be self-leveling. At present, there is no domestic company that can produce self-leveling cement that meets the requirements, so such cement must also be imported abroad.
In China's view, this is simply a waste of time and a waste of time. A factory that produces cars, what do you want to do so cleanly!
It's okay, Lin Qiangsheng is rich, he is so capricious! You want to finish it by October 1st. I don't agree, and neither can you!
Barr, the foreign manager, must strictly follow the requirements of the parent company in any case, and he said that this is the decision of the company's headquarters, and it is necessary to build a high-standard modern factory!
The leaders of H province can't help it, since the foreign side is so enthusiastic, we can't discourage people's enthusiasm! Since people are enthusiastic. We also want to be enthusiastic! Then I took turns working day and night, and I used to work in two shifts, but this time I gave full play to my ingenuity and worked in three shifts! In the past, more than 2,000 workers quadrupled this time, and more than 8,000 construction workers were organized to go to the construction site, and the whole province took action! Batches of construction workers from various cities in the province were concentrated in the provincial capital, just to surprise this big project.
News of the establishment of a joint venture between Province H and a foreign party. It completely shook this big country!
In the first year of reform and opening up, there was such a big project settled in China! It has to be said that the foresight and sagacity of the wise leaders at the top played a decisive role. The positive response of the foreign side and the rapid introduction of technology and capital show that China has not made a mistake in the path and has strengthened its determination to carry out reforms.
At the same time, the central government is also studying whether to make Bincheng in H Province a special zone. In this way, it will be more convenient to promote local economic development! After all, Bincheng has taken the lead in the forefront of reform and has taken the lead in establishing a joint venture with foreign parties.
The fruits of the reforms. It also needs careful maintenance!
But Ben Thanh is such a unique place! Not to mention the proximity to the Soviet Union, it is not close to the sea, and the transportation in the inland areas is not convenient. This made the leaders of the central government feel that it was a pity to put such a joint venture in this place. It would be nice if the place could be better!
To this day, the Soviet Union still has a million troops on the Sino-Soviet border, threatening China's Three North regions. In particular, the Northeast region was home to the Soviet Union's heavy military groups.
If this place is a special zone or something, it is not reliable, and in the end it is Deng Lao who makes a decision, wait and see, after two years, if this car factory that produces cars develops well. The Soviet Union has not made any moves, so it might as well set up a special economic zone in the northeastern interior! The spring breeze of reform will blow all over the earth, and this city will not be bad.
In mid-July, GD and FJ provinces took the lead in getting rid of the whole country and officially established special economic zones; The best policies in the country, a lot of resources are concentrated in the two provinces; Especially since they can also save a lot of tax revenue!
The other provinces have not yet felt anything, but the leaders and officials of H province are starting to get anxious.
After the province tasted the benefits of the joint venture, many officials went to the above to promote the investment plan of the auto parts production base with foreign parties, and first introduced the technology. Because their children are thinking that as soon as the joint venture company is established, they will go inside. If foreign investors continue to invest in the province, it will inevitably solve the problem of resettlement of a large number of officials' children.
There are worries below, and there are even greater worries above. Since the establishment of the joint venture, both the central government and all walks of life in China have begun to pay attention to the dynamics of H Province. This kind of day on the cusp, although it makes everyone's heart beat faster, but the day when it is not noticed, it is not more uncomfortable.
What's more, since the establishment of the joint venture, the central government's policies and materials have followed one after another. It turns out that the central enterprises in the province, it is difficult for the leaders of the province to move a finger, and people simply ignore the local leaders, which onion are you. However, now with the central government's policy support and planned quotas, many central enterprises have immediately changed their attitude towards the province, and they have begun to support the work of the province.
This immediate effect made the provincial leaders want to stop. With the above policies, everything is smooth, and without the policy, it will immediately become a turtle. Everyone's good days have not passed for a few days, but I don't want to immediately become a passerby who plays soy sauce!
Therefore, before the end of July, H province relaxed its attitude, and foreign parties can independently invest in the construction of auto parts production bases, and the province no longer requires shares!
DBR immediately signed an agreement with Province H to create a large area of wasteland in the northwest corner of Ben Thanh and set up an industrial manufacturing base. Soon after, dozens of trucks of construction equipment were transported to DL Port, and batches of industrial machinery and equipment were unloaded to the port.
It also costs money to store it overseas, and this cost is not a few, so you have to transport it back to China as soon as possible to reduce losses!
The news of the wholly foreign-owned party shook the whole country for a while. With the acquiescence of the central authorities, although public opinion in the whole country is fierce, there is a great tendency to drown out the achievements of reform.
But province H has gone further and further down this path and will never look back! (To be continued......)
