Chapter 282: Visiting the Automobile Factory
Of course, Jiao Bai said this, not that this car is not good, but the road conditions in some remote places in China are really bad, and the Porsche 918, a sports car with a particularly low chassis, is a little difficult to run. Fortunately, Jiao Bai's Porsche was brought by him from the end of the world, and the technology is much more advanced, taking the chassis as an example, not only the suspension can be adjusted in terms of soft and hard, but also the suspension height can be adjusted, and even the chassis material is memory alloy, not ordinary steel, even if it is slightly scratched, it can be automatically recovered.
The specific location of the Chengguan branch of Beijing Automobile Group, Jiao Bai is really not too clear, fortunately, Liu Musi drove the smart to lead the way in front, saving the trouble of navigating. After half an hour of slow traffic flow, two cars, one large and one small, finally arrived at their destination.
In front of the automobile factory building, Liu Xiuqi squatted on the ground to bask in the sun like an old farmer, looking lazy, but in fact, his eyes never left the factory gate. Contacting his niece on his mobile phone again and confirming that they were on his way, Liu Xiuqi was relieved, he slowly stood up, took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket and lit it, brought it to his mouth and took two puffs, and then sighed deeply. Liu Xiuqi's mood now is very complicated, mixed with good and bad. Although this automobile factory in Chengguan City has the brand name of a branch of the Beijing Automobile Group, in fact, the Beijing Automobile Group has left nothing but money. Whether it is the purchase of land and the construction of factories, the recruitment of workers, or the design and production of new cars, Liu Xiuqi has done it single-handedly.
This car factory is like Liu Xiuqi's child, and now this child is sick and terminally ill, but it is a pity that he, the father, tried all the methods, but could not save him. I thought that the child was dead, but now there is a ray of light, and a person who may save the child has appeared, but this person will take away the child before he will start treatment. In this case, what can Liu Xiuqi do, in order to let the car factory continue to survive, go first, so that his four years of hard work will not be completely buried, and he can only find a new owner for it.
It didn't take long for Liu Musi's phone call to come in, and the three of them had already arrived at the factory gate. Liu Xiuqi greeted him in person, and Liu Musi, as an intermediary, introduced the two parties, "Mr. Jiao, this is Liu Xiuqi, the director and chief engineer of the automobile factory, and also my second uncle. Second uncle, this is Jiao Bai of Xingchen Group, the latest richest man in China. ”
Hearing Liu Musi's introduction, Jiao Bai knew Xia Hongkai's intention to pull Liu Musi when he came, and with this girl here, it would be much easier for the two sides to get in touch.
Jiao Bai stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Liu Xiuqi, and said with a smile: "Director Liu, hello, hello, I have really admired the name for a long time." ”
"Mr. Jiao has been promoted, how can I have any fame, but Mr. Jiao, at a young age, he can become the richest man in China, he is really young and promising."
"Director Liu, I am really not polite, in my eyes, everyone who works hard in industry is worthy of my respect."
This sentence seemed to tickle Liu Xiuqi's itch, he laughed and said: "I agree with Mr. Jiao's words, there are too few people who can calm down and do business now, and those who have strength and capital are going to do finance and speculate in real estate." Not to mention these uninteresting things, I heard that Mr. Jiao is interested in our automobile factory, so I will take you into the factory to have a look now. ”
"That's troublesome Director Liu, this is my first time in an automobile factory, and I'm really curious about how those cars are produced."
"Okay, Mr. Jiao, let's go to the No. 1 plant first, where the production of automobile chassis, the full set of equipment is purchased from Germany, the degree of automation is very high, presumably Jiao will always be interested."
In the next hour or so, under the leadership of Liu Xiuqi, Jiao Bai and the three of them visited several major workshops. Through Liu Xiuqi's explanation, Jiao Bai learned that the entire automobile factory covers an area of very large, with hundreds of acres, which shows that the ambition when the factory was built was not small. But the current situation is that, except for a few factories and an outdoor car test site, the rest of the land is now just wasteland, and from a distance, it is a barren area, and the withered yellow thatch is more than half a person high. If this 100 acres of land is in a first-tier city, even if it is only a suburb, it will be worth a lot of money. But the reality is that Chengguan City is only an inconspicuous county-level city in the Central Plains Province, and it is not even a fourth-tier city, and the value of these lands is very limited.
After walking through several workshops in a row, Liu Xiuqi has been doing his best to make introductions, but seeing that Jiao Bai has always been lacking in interest, he couldn't help but get anxious and asked: "Mr. Jiao, don't look at these equipment were purchased three or four years ago, in fact, they are not backward at all, and there is no problem at all in producing cars." Isn't Mr. Jiao planning to invest in building cars, and why don't you seem to be too interested in these devices? ”
Jiao Bai stretched out his hand, patted the automatic welding robot in front of him, and said, "Director Liu, to be honest, I really don't like these equipment, it's too backward." We Xingchen Group has the world's most advanced artificial intelligence and robotics technology, after buying the factory, we will buy a set of the most advanced automobile production equipment from abroad, and then do localized transformation to achieve a machining level far beyond Europe and the United States. As for these devices now, they can only be sold cheaply. ”
"Since you can't afford these equipment, will Mr. Jiao still pay for this factory? If Jiao always takes a fancy to those dozens of acres of wasteland and wants to develop real estate, then I am afraid that he will be disappointed, we are too partial here, the land is not worth anything at all, and this is industrial land, and it is very troublesome to convert it into residential land. ”。
Jiao Bai shook his head and said, "First of all, we declare that our Xingchen Group will never do real estate, and as for your car factory, I still have the intention to buy it." In fact, I look at nothing more than two points, one is the automobile production qualification, and the other is skilled technical workers. Speaking of which, since I entered the factory, I have seen a few workers, and what about the others, what are they doing. ”
Jiao Bai's demand made Liu Xiuqi feel a little surprised. The qualification to produce cars was very difficult to obtain in previous years, when a strict car access system was implemented, and only a few large state-owned enterprises had this qualification, and the number was very rare. If a car made by a private car company wants to be listed, it must think of some other ways, which also created a strange phenomenon that many domestic automobile factories that had long been bankrupt at that time were affiliated with one or several private car companies. However, this time is different from the past, and now, the state has gradually liberalized the approval of automobile production qualifications, which has greatly reduced the entry threshold of the industry. With the strength of Xingchen Group, it is somewhat difficult to get the automobile production qualification, but it will not be too difficult, it should only be a matter of time, and there is no need to achieve the goal by acquiring the Chengguan Automobile Factory.
