Chapter 242: Warm Fragrant Nephrite Embrace
Su Ming's initiative to set up a factory in Germany was not to please the Germans, he had his own ideas and considerations, but his move won him the favor of the Germans, and then when Wigman Company negotiated with Lybacium Metal Company, Su Ming's fair attitude once again further intensified this goodwill.
In the end, with Su Ming's insistence and Wigman's efforts, the three parties reached a cooperation agreement, Wiegman is still Su's first partner, and then the two parties then authorize Rheinmetall to carry out secondary development of Odin, and have the right to sell independently, the price is calculated according to the price Su's price to Wigman, but for each Odin sold, Wigman will be given a licensing fee of 100,000 US dollars.
Although this result can not make Wigman very satisfied, but it is already the best result that can be obtained, the people of Rheinmetall got their wish, they were very happy, and after hearing that Su Ming wanted to establish a processing plant in Germany, they took the initiative to help Su Ming contact a factory waiting for bankruptcy, and the price was very cheap.
Due to the boss's business problems, he is on the verge of bankruptcy, but if he goes bankrupt, he needs to pay a lot of insurance premiums for the workers, and the boss has been trying his best to support it, hoping that someone can take over, but his kind of factories abound in Germany, where he can find a home.
After learning that Su Ming was going to buy the factory, he hurriedly threw the factory to Su Ming like a hot potato that he couldn't shake off, took the money and left, for the replacement of the boss, the workers below didn't care at all, under the protection of perfect laws and trade unions, there would be no such thing as firing workers or reducing workers' salaries for no reason, and maybe the situation in the factory would improve if the boss changed, and they were still happy about it.
German companies need to pay an astonishing amount of insurance premiums for their workers, and there are many types of insurance, and the profits are a little thinner, so they can't afford this cost, but the good thing is that Odin's profit margins are scary, and it is only responsible for shell processing, keeping the profits in the country, as long as it can maintain its business.
When Su Ming saw the machine tool in the factory that was not dilapidated, he put forward the idea of replacing the machine tool, and the engineer in the factory was puzzled, although it was said that it used to be produced for civilian use, and now it has been converted to the military, but if you look at the design drawing, the accuracy is not high, and the current machine tool can be produced completely, but I don't know that Su Ming set up this factory for the purpose of machine tools.
Su Minglai asked the domestic intelligence department before he came to know how to understand the machine tool industry, but because China's intelligence collection ability in Europe is not strong, and the machine tool is indeed professional and high-end, you don't know it at all, and it is not so easy to collect its intelligence, except for those public information, there is not much useful information.
Since he can't count on the intelligence side, Su Ming has to find his own way, but there are hundreds of enterprises that produce CNC machine tools in Germany, and the scale is not, Su Ming doesn't know that one is better, so he consulted someone he knows, I heard that Su Ming wants to buy a machine tool, Wigman recommended a Spinner Machine Tool Manufacturing Co., Ltd. for Su Ming, which is said to be a century-old brand in the machine tool industry, but the engineers in the factory said that DMG is good, this is a new company that has just been formed, but it is made up of Decker, Maho, It is formed by the combination of three old machine tool companies.
Su Ming pretended to inspect the two companies, but secretly surveyed and mapped all the products of the two companies, but Su Ming was still not very satisfied, and all the products he got were civilian-grade products, although Spinner Company was responsible for the production of military machine tools, but there was nothing Su Ming wanted in the company, and later Su Ming learned through inquiries that it was originally a way to place an order, and it was produced if necessary, but Su Ming's idea was disappointed.
No, I finally came to Germany once, I must find the kind of machine tool and compound machining center with more than five axes linkage, otherwise this trip is not in vain, but where can I find that kind of machine tool, and then inquire about it, maybe someone should be suspicious, and I don't dare to act rashly on the German side, contact the intelligence department, what should I do?
Su Ming thought about it, and when he thought of the Toshiba machine tool case of the year, the inspiration suddenly came, the former Soviet Union bought machine tools not to transform submarines, it is better to think about whether there are shipbuilding or submarine building enterprises in Germany, Su Ming inquired a little and inquired about the Horvat-Deutsche Shipyard, which is a shipyard with a comprehensive surname, with product lines ranging from frigates, patrol boats and other surface ships to underwater submarines, especially the latest research that does not rely on air propulsion technology and is internationally famous.
It can be like nuclear power, and it does not need to float on the surface of the water to charge, and the endurance time under the water is two to three weeks, while ordinary submarines will surface once every two or three days, Su Ming suddenly thought of his own dual-energy engine development idea, wouldn't it also be said to be AIP technology, with it, it is better to cooperate with the other party under the pretext of seeing if it can break into their interior.
Thinking of Su Ming and starting to act, but was touched by a nose of dust, people didn't think about cooperating with a company at all, even if you want to buy submarines, people can't sell them to a company, who knows who you will sell to, not to mention that Su Ming is from China, a country that is in the blockade.
As for the cooperation in development, people don't look down on Su's technical strength at all, it's good that you can make Thor or something, but this is a different thing from a submarine, separated by 108,000 miles, it is not a kind of goods at all, plus Su Ming can't say the theory and can't come up with the finished product, there is no way to talk about cooperation at all.
However, Su Ming's purpose has also been achieved, at least he knows the specific address of this Horvat company, and he came to Hamburg and others thought that he was here to talk about cooperation, although he did not let Su Ming visit the site, but after that, Su Ming could visit by himself.
Here, Su Ming saw the ultra-high-precision seven-axis turning and milling machining center, and also saw the general seven-axis linkage machining center, so to speak, Su Ming here, found everything he was looking for, and the next day, Su Ming's face was full of smiles, so that the people who accompanied him were very puzzled, obviously the negotiation failed, why was he so happy.
"I'm happy that some people have lost their chances, and it won't be me who will regret it in the future." Su Ming confidently said that in fact, this was not the meaning, Su Ming was just nonsense, but later, it was indeed the people of Horvat Company who felt great regret.
After getting these things, Su Ming has nothing to do in Germany, Rheinmetall is nervously organizing manpower to carry out technical research on the new Odin, because Su Ming in order to unify the image of the brand, so the products of the Rheinland company are also called Odin, but the letter number is added to distinguish it, which is also the practice of the military industry, like the F-15F is the version developed for Saudi Arabia, H is Greek, J is the original, K is Korean, in fact, the difference is not big, just to show convenience.
Affected by Rheinmetall's competition, Wigmann has indeed stepped up its marketing and promotion efforts, and has now taken two more Odin to Greece for display, plus Finland and Belgium, basically three countries plus one, it is estimated that there are thousands of orders.
Su Ming wanted to acquire two machine tool manufacturers, but because of the identity of the restriction and failed, although Su is theoretically a Hong Kong-funded company, but can not erase the identity of the Chinese background, plus the main body of production is in China, it is a matter of course to be rejected, Su Ming did not have much hope.
In this way, Su Ming's departure seemed logical, but when Su Ming left, he was retained by the embassy, and it turned out that a big man in China came to visit recently, hoping that Su Ming could stay here and wait for a few days.
What big shots? Su Ming didn't want to deal with it, but after knowing who the person who came, Su Ming stopped with great interest, it turned out to be the future successor who was said to be determined by the old teacher, Comrade Cang Haiyue, the new Standing Committee, if there is no problem, he is the future leader of the country, that is, according to the normal period of power, when his influence fades, it will be twenty years later, this kind of character is not easy to make friends, this time is the period when he is dormant, it is easy not to make friends with others, it is rare to meet him abroad, Su Ming just wanted to get to know him, at least to get acquainted with him first.
After waiting for two or three days, I really received an invitation from the embassy to participate in a banquet for business people, according to Cang Haiyue's current position, it is a bit inappropriate to participate in such an event, but when it comes to the Standing Committee, I don't pay attention to any specific division of labor.
At the banquet, Su Ming saw Cang Haiyue, the other party may have done his homework in advance, or he may really know Su Ming, and he praised Su Ming for making such a big achievement at a young age.
Only then did Su Ming realize that although he was also a newcomer, he was also a young person, but he was a young man compared to those seventy or eighty people, and compared with himself, he was more than two of himself, and a few years older than his father, and it was normal to praise himself in the tone of an elder.
Seeing Su Ming's helpless appearance, Cang Haiyue smiled and didn't say anything more, but he had a very good impression of this young man who would blush at a boast, but he was very capable, and after writing down Su Ming's image, he left with a smile, but Su Ming felt that his nervous hands were sweating.
Thinking of this, Su Ming wanted to go to the bathroom to wash his hands, and as soon as he walked to the entrance of the toilet, a woman in red walked over from the opposite side, with a tall nose bridge, white and delicate skin, a tall figure, a slender and moving curve, and her face was full of smiles, and when she walked to Su Ming's side, she turned her head and gave Su Ming a charming smile.
People greeted each other with smiles, Su Ming was always embarrassed to look at each other, and also smiled at each other, when the two of them were about to stagger, the other party suddenly tripped under his feet, his body was crooked, and he fell into Su Ming's arms with the fragrant wind, Su Ming quickly stretched his arms and hugged each other in his arms.
