"Mr. Lin is really happy!"

Helena slapped her hands lightly twice, and after signaling the attaché behind her to leave, her gaze also changed, from the previous gentle and harmless to slightly aggressive, "Since Mr. Lin is so happy, then I will simply explain it directly, Mr. Lin, I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with our Krupp company?" ”

"Working with your Krupp company?" Lin Hongfei frowned, "Being able to cooperate with Krupp is the wish of many companies, I don't think the proud Krupp will use this low-voiced way to seek cooperation with my company...... Miss Helena, it's good to tell you what you mean. ”

"We are indeed ready to cooperate with your company," to Lin Hongfei's surprise, Helena. Krupp shook his head, "Mr. Lin, let me say it bluntly, I believe you can know that our Krupp company and Bosch, Siemens, and BASF are known as the 'four sisters' of the world's auto parts supply, whether it is Japanese automobiles, American automobiles or European automobiles, unless they produce their own parts, almost all the core spare parts they use are from our four cars." ”

Nodding, Lin Hongfei said, "Yes, Krupp's level in body plates, skeletons and other spare parts is indeed the top in the world...... If I'm not mistaken, since the beginning of the reform and opening up in our country in the 80s, your Krupp company has been constantly receiving orders from our country, and in 88 years it also established a joint venture company with An&Shan Coking Fireproof Materials Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd., which made a lot of money for your Krupp family. ”

"Which company actually doesn't make any money, Mr. Lin, if you want, our Krupp company is willing to provide your company with some car spare parts and body parts, what do you think?"

"Spare parts and body parts for my company?" Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled, "Give me a reason?" If it's something that doesn't have much technical content, then I'm not interested. Of course, if the quality and price are reasonable, cooperation is not impossible. ”

Saying that, Lin Hongfei was slightly disappointed in his heart, the core of the body parts is the quality of the steel, but now the steel used by Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is all the steel formula and manufacturing process provided by Lin Hongfei, and the quality level is higher than that of Japanese cars. But this kind of ...... has its own For Lin Hongfei, it really doesn't have any appeal.

"The cost of human resources in your country is very low, and under the premise of the same quality, we at Krupp cannot compete with your suppliers in terms of price," Helena shook her head, "but in some of the more important spare parts." Although our price does not have much competitive advantage, it can be compared in quality. ”

"Oh?" Lin Hongfei's eyes flashed. Smiled and nodded. "I want to hear about it."

"For example, the valve system, the connecting rods, the piston rings, etc., oh, by the way, if Mr. Lin needs camshafts and crankshafts, we at Krupp can also provide them."

"If I'm not mistaken, Krupp doesn't produce crankshafts and camshafts right now, right?" Lin Hongfei frowned.

"To be exact. We have produced the first crankshafts and camshafts and tested them on a number of cars......"

Speaking of which, Helena. Krupp paused slightly, hoping to attract Lin Hongfei's attention. It would be great if Lin Hongfei could take the initiative to ask, but Lin Hongfei's reaction disappointed him, and he just looked at it indifferently, looking indispensable.

"Hell!" Helena. Krupp cursed in his heart, it seemed that he really overestimated the weight of the three words "Krupp" in the eyes of this bastard, and had to reluctantly continue, "The results of the test are perfect, not worse than those of competitors." ”

"It is indeed a thing worth celebrating to be able to have such a good result for the first time, congratulations." Lin Hongfei smiled and nodded, but refused to speak.

This kind of words that represent the initiative, how can Lin Hongfei easily give it to others?

"If you are interested, Mr. Lin, we can provide you with a batch of products to test," Lin Hongfei did not open his mouth, Helena. Krupp had no choice but to continue to "whisper" to test Lin Hongfei's words, "I can guarantee that it will definitely be better than your company's own production...... I heard that your company's spare parts are not very stable in terms of quality during this time? ”

"There is no such thing, and I have always been satisfied with the parts that our company produces." Lin Hongfei denied it lightly, but there was a chill in his heart: the Krupp family is really the Krupp family, this background is really not ordinarily profound, this time they really came prepared.

But Helena. In the past two years, some of the company's enterprises, especially raw materials and spare parts enterprises, have become more and more unreasonable, and it seems that the head office has no place to buy except for its own products, or it is much more expensive, and the product quality and yield rate have been reduced a lot, and many people have begun to be pampered and proud.

For this point, Lin Hongfei naturally knows the way, but he has been busy with external development and has not found time to practice "internal strength", and now it seems that the participation of Krupp seems to be a good opportunity to practice "internal strength"? Lin Hongfei's heart was a little moved.

There are pros and cons to vertical integration, and the advantage is naturally to save procurement and production costs to the greatest extent, and there are enough cost advantages in the fierce market competition, but the disadvantages are also obvious: it is easy to breed the laziness and slackness of related enterprises.

The reason is very simple, in fact, everyone is a company, strictly speaking, just different links on the same production line, I dare not say that I don't see you all day long, there are a lot of contacts, in the republic of this country, as long as you can get by, even if the quality is a little worse, why not give the other party a face?

For this situation, Lin Hongfei is very helpless, under the premise of not having full competition, even if it is not possible, the market environment determines that they do not have the motivation to pay close attention to quality...... Perhaps, it would be a good idea to bring in a competitor?

"Yes, maybe there was a mistake in our Krupp message," Helena. Krupp smiled charmingly, and didn't care, this kind of thing, Krupp would not admit it, "But I think that for a company as big as yours, it is not a bad thing to introduce a competition mechanism and let subordinates maintain enough awe and motivation to move forward." ”

"Okay, Helena Little, I admit that you convinced me," Lin Hongfei pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "You can tell the people of your company to send us a batch of spare parts, as long as the test results and your quotation satisfy me, I will consider it." ”

"Giggle...... Hearing that Lin Hongfei finally agreed to his request, Helena. Krupp smiled happily, with a slight smug smile in his smile, "Mr. Lin, I believe you have made a smart choice, in fact...... We can not only supply the production needs of your domestic company, but also supply some spare parts to your overseas company. ”

"Included spare parts for the project in Pakistan?"

"As long as you provide us with the specific information and parameters of the required spare parts, we at Krupp can provide them. Mr. Lin, you should know that in terms of metal materials, our Krupp company is the top in the world. "Helena. There was a deep pride in Krupp's voice, and this pride was precipitated by Krupp over a hundred years.

"I need to think about it."

Facing Helena's expectant gaze, Lin Hongfei did not give an answer immediately: for a company like Krupp, it is not too difficult to infer the specific performance of this engine through the data and parameters of the core parts of the engine, and then calculate the specific performance of a certain equipment.

"That's really...... It's a pity. Helena said with some regret that Lin Hongfei did not immediately agree to her conditions, which made Helena a little disappointed, but it was enough for Helena to make this level of progress. Krupp was pleased, and she immediately changed the subject, "Mr. Lin, I wonder if we can cooperate in a wider field?" ”

"For example?" Before he knew the other party's intentions, Lin Hongfei easily refused to reveal his mental activities.

"For example, our materials research and development center at Krupp can cooperate with your company's materials laboratory to develop some new materials; I heard that your company is now actively entering the aerospace field, and our achievements in aerospace materials are also very good. ”

I see!

Krupp's appetite is really not small!

Like a bolt of lightning, Lin Hongfei finally understood what Helena was for. Krupp will come to Pakistan from distant Europe thousands of miles away, and here is the root cause! Not only did they want to eat all the orders of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., but they also aimed at the material research and development laboratory in their hands.

Lin Hongfei suddenly thought in his heart: No wonder the Krupp family suddenly became so enthusiastic and talkative, I just said, such a trivial matter will not let the direct members of the Krupp family go out in person, such a thing, a project manager of the Krupp company is enough to promote this matter, why is Helena, a direct member of the Krupp family?

Now it is understandable, this is not only an order related to the strategic relationship between the two sides in the future, buddy, I got the technical information from Russia, I am afraid that Krupp is even more coveted, right? Maybe after realizing that he had obtained so much information from Russia, Krupp really realized what he had lost in this feast of carving up the Soviet Union, and regretted it and wanted to bang his head against the wall.
