Chapter 1445 Ready to Do It (Third Watch, Second Shift)
In addition to Lin Hongfei's strong desire to control, he also had another factor that he did not say: McDonnell Douglas!
While the Republic of the Eastern Aircraft Factory and MacDonald. The MD-82 aircraft co-produced by Douglas has not yet yellowed, and even in the eyes of many people, the two sides are still in the stage of adulterous love and love in honey and oil, but people with discerning eyes know that Boeing is preparing to acquire McDonald. After the news of Douglas Company, the final outcome of the relationship between the two sides has been doomed, and since he can see it on his side, he does not believe that the top level of the government of the republic will not be able to see it.
"There will always be a way, how do you know the way if you don't try?" Compared with Airbus's fears, Citigroup is full of confidence: "Their country is an official country, and the status of power is supreme, and we can think of a way to do this...... Well, if needed, we at Citibank can provide a large loan to earmark this project. ”
Since they were able to Chinese the first time, Citigroup firmly believes that they can Chinese the second time, even the third and fourth times......
"Okay, I'm okay in principle, but I need to take this matter to the parent company for discussion." After thinking about it for a long time, the head of Airbus finally sighed and said.
"Guys, is there anything else you'd like to add?" Glancing around at everyone, seeing that everyone didn't mean to speak, the person in charge of Citigroup asked.
"What's next for Citigroup? Continue to put pressure on Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.? A question was raised by a representative of Alcoa.
This question also represents the question that all the company leaders involved in this meeting want to ask, the current situation is already like this, so what next? Could it be that your Citibank continues to blockade and pressure Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.? There is another subtext in this statement, that is: if you Citibank still want to continue playing, it is your Citigroup's business. But I'm sorry, we're not going to be with you.
If possible, Citigroup certainly wants to continue to blockade the republic, just like the US government, knowing full well that it is impossible to completely blockade the republic with "Batumi", but why should it still maintain the existence of Batumi? The purpose is to delay the development of the republic in science and technology and industry, to make the development of the republic as slow as possible, and to give the republic as much time as possible.
However, it was obvious that the relationship between Citibank and these companies could not be compared with the relationship between the United States and the European powers in "Batumi", and the person in charge of Citibank hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly. "Citibank understands everyone's actions, and in the future, we will also make some adjustments in our attitude towards Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd."
As soon as the words of the person in charge of Citigroup came out, a smile suddenly appeared on everyone's faces: That's right! Everyone is tired and tired of making money, why do you have to get along with money?
————————————————————————
There is nothing to do with Lin Hongfei in the capital. Even the subsequent preliminary construction in Pakistan did not have anything to do with the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.: the leveling of the site of the industrial zone was jointly carried out by Pakistan and the China Railway Engineering Bureau, that is, the former railway troops. Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. only needs to follow up to make the planning of the industrial zone. Someone will do the rest...... This is a foreign political, economic and military aid program, and the role that a company can play in it is very limited.
Lin Hongfei, who had nothing to do, finally decided to go back, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, staying in the capital, he always feels uncomfortable. Helena has had a lot of fun these days, for this direct member of the Krupp family. Whether it is the heads of major families in Beijing or German enterprises in China, everyone hopes to have a good relationship with her, but when the news that Lin Hongfei is ready to return to Guqi Province knows that this girl immediately left others. stalked, and Lin Hongfei took a plane back to Guqi Province.
"Boss, you say there's something you want to discuss with me?" On the way back to the company, Rostock, who came to pick up Lin Hongfei, had a solemn expression and asked Lin Hongfei in a low voice. He had asked Lin Hongfei what was going on the phone before, but Lin Hongfei didn't say it, which made Rostock immediately realize that the matter was serious.
"In the company's supplier system, I decided to introduce a competition mechanism." In the car, there was no fifth person except for his driver and secretary, Lin Hongfei didn't have to worry about his and Rostock's words being overheard, took a deep breath, and said to Rostock.
"Huh?" I didn't expect to hear such a bombshell news from Rostock, and my eyes suddenly widened!
"Lao Luo, haven't you noticed the recent complaints from engine assembly plants, transmission assembly factories and vehicle assembly plants? Recently, the quality of the parts produced by our company's own spare parts production enterprises and other supporting enterprises, especially the core components such as crankshafts, camshafts, pistons, etc., is becoming more and more unsatisfactory. ”
With such a big matter, how could Rostock, as the company's director of operations, not know what to do? It's just that vertical integration is a concept put forward by Lin Hongfei, and he had strongly opposed it at the beginning, thinking that this does not meet the requirements of modern economic development and the refinement of the social division of labor, but Lin Hongfei refuted it on the grounds that "the company must master the core technology", and then Rostock, who tasted the sweetness of vertical integration, no longer said anything.
Now hearing Lin Hongfei say this, he was suddenly taken aback, "I know about this situation, but, boss, are you going to give up vertical integration?" ”
"Of course not," Lin Hongfei waved his hand, what are you kidding, even now, Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has a profit margin that far exceeds that of the joint venture, what does it rely on? Isn't it the huge reduction in production costs brought about by vertical integration? "For our company, vertical integration is the core means for us to reduce costs, improve competitiveness, and master independent technology, and of course we can't give up."
"But vertical integration is not equal to all the products produced by the company, whether good or bad are all purchased by the company, in the next parts procurement, we have to walk on two legs, independent production to purchase some, but also from the relevant parts production enterprises to purchase a part, to the company's related enterprises a competitiveness, now the company's parts production enterprises began to slack, this is not a good phenomenon, Lao Luo, what do you think of my thoughts?"
"Good! Of course! ”
Rostock slapped his thigh heavily, his face was full of excitement, for some of the company's subordinate spare parts production enterprises, Rostock has long been unaccustomed to it, but this is the regulations formulated by Lin Hongfei at the beginning, and he is helpless, especially those bastards who still have nostrils in front of him on weekdays, which makes Rostock even more annoyed.
In the past, there was no way to deal with them, but now, since Lin Hongfei has plans to take these disobedient bastards to Liwei, of course Rostock will not let go of such an opportunity, "I think it's good, the appropriate introduction of the competition mechanism will make the gentlemen and managers have a sense of crisis in their hearts, not only can they beat the arrogance in their hearts, but also improve the quality of the products, maybe they can also reduce the cost again...... But who do we work with? ”
"See which German girl flew back with me? He is a member of your German Krupp family, and his name is Helena. Krupp, according to what she means, the Krupp family wants to cooperate with us in the field of automotive technology. ”
"What?! Alas......"
The excited Rostock stood up violently, but forgot that he was in the car now, and his head hit the roof of the car, fortunately, the roof was relatively soft, although the action was more violent, but it was nothing big except for a little pain in the head, Rostock, who was rebounded back by the roof, didn't bother to rub his head twice, with a look of shock and disbelief, and asked Lin Hongfei eagerly, "Boss, what you said is true, the Krupp family is really ready to cooperate with us?" ”
Not Germans, simply can not understand the Germans for the Krupp family, the family that has supported the backbone of Germany and Germany for more than 100 years, to exaggerate, in the so-called Germanic plot of the Germans, there is a part of the Krupp plot, for a long time, Krupp was even equated with German, this family has a very special status in Germany, almost every German has maintained a very respectful respect for them, Now that they heard that the Krupp family really planned to cooperate with the company they worked for, the others couldn't understand how excited Rostock was to dance and party.
"Of course, I'm not going to joke about such a big thing, am I?" Lin Hongfei smiled and nodded, others didn't understand why Rostock was so excited, but Lin Hongfei, who had lived in Germany for several years in his previous life, understood the special feelings of the Germans for the Krupp family, and was not surprised, on the contrary, he specially told Rostock, "Lao Luo, I know that you Germans have very unusual feelings for the Krupp family, so this internal rectification and the negotiations between Krupp, the internal rectification will be carried out by you, and the negotiations with Krupp will be led by me." ”
For what? Why am I not the one to lead the negotiations with Krupp? But when these words came to his mouth, he was swallowed alive by Rostock: the boss arranged this way because he was worried that his special favor with Krupp would affect the interests of the company.
Thinking of this, Rostock couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and he had to admit: this situation is really very likely to happen. Nodding heavily, Rostock said, "OK, the boss will do as you say, no problem!" (To be continued......)
