Chapter 293: We Are Different
"Mr. Li, we have brought the relevant introduction materials of the machine tool, would you like to take a look?"
After negotiating the purchase of the automobile production line and several production technologies, Taro Yamamoto motioned for Yoshidagawa to take out the materials and looked at Li Lu with an expression of "understand".
"Let's see, then." Li Lu had no choice but to take it.
The same is a five-axis linkage CNC machine tool, and the technical level is basically the same as that provided by Toshiba, but Li Lu quickly noticed that the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool system provided by Fuji Heavy Industries is the main equipment in an automated processing system.
When the materials come in, they come out as accessories that can be directly assembled.
The machine is no different from Toshiba's, but Fuji Heavy Industries undoubtedly provides a more complete solution. In other words, Toshiba sells a five-axis linkage CNC machine tool system, while Fuji Heavy Industries provides a complete solution.
Yoshidagawa began to introduce it, and what he came to do was to work in this area so that customers could fully understand the advantages of Fuji Heavy Industries' product solutions.
He spoke baba and stumbled English, but he could barely understand it.
After speaking for more than an hour, Li Lu also watched it carefully for more than an hour.
At this time, neither of them dared to underestimate it, only people who really understood the situation of this technology could look at a pile of data so seriously for more than an hour.
Li Lu raised his head, returned the information to Yoshidagawa, and said, "Thank you for the introduction, Mr. Yoshida." β
"Yes, you're too polite, Mr. Li." Yoshidagawa smiled and bowed.
Li Lu asked Taro Yamamoto, "Mr. Yamamoto, what is your offer?" β
There is play.
Taro Yamamoto controlled his excitement, but he didn't dare to quote casually, let alone come as planned. He knows very well that since Li Lu has reached a procurement contract with Toshiba for tens of millions of dollars, it means that Li Lu has completed the main purchase.
Li Lu's inquiry is more meaningful.
Such a mechanical quotation will never be casually printed on the introduction materials.
What price to quote, Taro Yamamoto had to quickly and carefully reconsider. With such a machine, the profits are all millions, and at the level of Taro Yamamoto, he can easily lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. After a few seconds of thinking, he decided to give a minimum price within his authority.
"Eight million dollars, a complete set. Mr. Lee. Taro Yamamoto gritted his teeth and quoted what he thought was the lowest price.
Li Luhaha laughed and stood up, "Okay, Mr. Yamamoto, the contract for the automobile production line should be drawn up as soon as possible, and strive to enter the price negotiation stage tomorrow." β
Taro Yamamoto was stunned - what's wrong with this, don't you want a machine tool?
Of course you don't want it, isn't it just a complete solution, solve it yourself, it won't cost four million dollars at all - Toshiba only sells one for four million dollars.
"Mr. Li, this machine tool ......"
Li Lu waved his hand to interrupt him, "Mr. Yamamoto, you must recognize the fact that I have purchased a machine tool from Toshiba Corporation. For the sake of establishing a friendly relationship, I may consider buying one or two of your machines, but the price must be the same as that of Toshiba. β
Taro Yamamoto subconsciously asked, "How much does Toshiba offer?" β
Li Lu smiled, "The transaction price is four million US dollars." β
"Impossible!" Taro Yamamoto blurted out.
Li Lu waved his hand and said, "Two, you guys are tired of traveling, let's rest first, I still have something to do, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." β
With that, he walked out of the reception room.
Taro Yamamoto and Yoshidagawa were stunned and didn't know what to do - of course, it would be better to sell the machine, even if it was one!
When I went downstairs, it was already late at night outside, the night sky was full of stars, and the stars were very bright. Li Lu took a deep breath, the air was very fresh, and there was the fragrance of flowersβeven in winter, green grass and flowers could still be seen everywhere in the south.
Huang Guanghui jumped down and ran over, "Chief, where are you going?" β
Li Lu thought for a while and said, "Let's go around, go around, I haven't seen the night view of the port city for a long time." β
There is no doubt that Li Lu is in a very good mood.
He was glad that he gritted his teeth and accepted Shapur's oil-for-arms plan, so he had the confidence he has now - even if there is no foreign exchange, those oils are his biggest reliance. Because of oil, there is Mitsui, a vital needle that threads the needle, and there are Toshiba Corporation and Fuji Heavy Industries, which smell Benjamin Franklin.
The important weapon of the country is at his fingertips, and he seized the opportunity of a once-in-a-century opportunity, and has since officially stepped into a new stage.
Huang Guanghui, a person who is usually silent and expressionless, smiled at this time and said, "What's so beautiful about the night scene, it's dark and sloppy everywhere." β
The two got into the car, and Li Lu walked over to the driver's seat and said, "I'll drive." β
Huang Guanghui jumped into the passenger seat, took out the small smashing gun in the quick holster under his ribs, pulled the bolt to check it, and then put it back on.
"What are you doing here?" Li Lu asked as he started the car.
"In recent days, there have been several robberies in the city, and the gangsters have guns in their hands, especially at night, which is not very safe," Huang said. β
It was already early ten o'clock in the evening.
There was silence everywhere in the city, except for the faint roar of machinery and the glow of incandescent lamps as bright as day where there were factories.
The biggest difference between the inland port area and the provincial capital lies in this, at this time, the residents of the provincial city began to learn the way of life in Hong Kong and Macao, and the nightlife began to appear, although it was not as prosperous as later, but it was definitely not a situation where there was no one everywhere like the dry port.
In addition to the west gate of the Red Mansion compound, Li Lu drove up the People's Avenue along the commuter road built by the Red Star Defense Company with the steering wheel, and asked, "What is the situation with the local public security bureau, this has just taken advantage of the wind of abduction to carry out a large-scale search and arrest involving the whole city, and under such circumstances, there are still armed robbery cases, what are the patrol police doing?" β
Huang Guanghui said, "Chief, where are there any patrol police. After work in the afternoon, who still works. β
Li Lu was stunned, he didn't expect that the police department at this time probably did not have a 24-hour duty system. He couldn't figure out if it was the case on both planes, or if it was just one of the changes in this plane.
As the main force for maintaining public order, the police department has great particularities. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the pressure on maintaining public order and stability will become greater and greater, and the grand occasion of the fifties and sixties when the people did not close their doors at night and did not leave anything behind. If you look at the large and small dance halls, nightclubs and other nighttime consumption places that have appeared in the urban area in the past year, this was unimaginable in the past.
In fact, Li Lu didn't know that these changes were very closely related to him.
In the past year, Fenyuan has snowballed into a behemoth with 18 city-level shopping malls and 40 county-level branches. Mainly for the sale of televisions, it includes all types of household appliances on the market, and there are a dazzling array of imported and domestic appliances.
The first provincial shopping mall in the provincial capital has entered the stocking stage and will have a grand opening during the Spring Festival. The car sales store of Hongxing Factory in the provincial capital is the first four-son store in China, and it is a base-type store with a distribution function, and it will also open during the Spring Festival.
In the past few months, Fenyuan has been piloting supermarkets in small batches, and has established several stores that mainly focus on the sales of daily necessities, consumer goods and fruits and vegetables, and explore the business experience of new hypermarkets, and the market has responded well.
These things are based on the inland port area, especially the inland port urban area, therefore, driven by Fenyuan company, the upstream and downstream enterprises attached to the company gradually converge in the inland port, and the result is to vigorously promote the commercial development of the inland port area.
So many merchants poured in, most of them were merchants from the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong and Macao. Where there is demand, there is a market, so nightclubs, KTV, Western restaurants, and other consumption places with obvious characteristics of capitalist society have gradually emerged.
While the phenomenon of spending money has widened the gap between rich and poor in the region, it has become one of the factors that promote criminal behavior.
So, at night, the incidence of robbery, theft, extortion, these cases have shown an almost straight increase in the past year.
Habitual offenders who have fled in from other places, rural students who have been brutal by local people, middle school students, etc., etc., under the increasing pressure of life, see those bosses who spend money every night, their psychology will be extremely unbalanced, and in such a situation, some people will take risks and embark on the road of crime.
What Li Lu is really worried about is the phenomenon of forced buying and selling, as well as the formation of local underworld organizations after the inflow of Hong Kong and Macao culture. They will thrive as more and more construction sites appear, earning their first pot of gold by forcibly acquiring sand and gravel earthworks. As in the transportation industry, behind almost every bus is a gang that will use fists and machetes to compete for market share and operating routes.
Not to mention the famous aquatic market in the dry port, there are few fishermen who are not strong, and they will draw their swords against each other if they don't agree with each other.
Now is the best time to prevent and crack down on these crimes, to crack down on them when they are just emerging, to formulate long-term mechanisms to prevent crimes, and to ensure the stability of the market order. If you wait until more than ten years later, like another time and space, you will encounter the obstacle of "freezing three feet is not a day's cold", and the scope will be wider.
Li Lu wanted to give Liang Hongbing a wake-up call, when he heard Huang Guanghui pointing to the textile factory on the left side of the road in front of him and said, "Two female workers in the textile factory were robbed last night, and the gangsters forcibly forced them, right on the side of the road." Now the gangsters are becoming more and more rampant. β
Seeing the textile factory, Li Lu remembered Yu Xiaoman, who his second brother never forgot. Yu Xiaoman neither worked in the textile factory nor helped out at Fenyuan. Li Jiahua said that she now stays at home every day and hardly goes out.
Sighing slightly, Li Lu turned on the steering wheel and parked the car in the dark on the right side of the road, turned off the engine, and the front side of the car was facing the gate of the textile factory, and he could see all the scenes over there.
He said, "Idle is also idle, squat and see, the urban area can really be chaotic like this." β
Huang Guanghui grinnedβhe had already had itchy hands.
