Huli Technology sent a brand-new business vehicle. Huang Ligong got into the car, said a few polite words to the driver, and began to call and answer the phone non-stop. He did not shy away from the driver and Xu Qianqian in the same car, nor did he intend to restrain his voice, his words went back and forth between money and business, and the calm and the storm also switched freely in an instant. Xu Qianqian felt funny and funny, she still looked calm and calm when she ate breakfast, and she took care of everything and showed off her temperament as soon as she arrived in the car. She has seen Huang Ligong like this, not in disguise, but at the moment there is always an exaggerated energy. She suddenly faintly remembered what Huang Ligong said to her, in any company, there are two kinds of people who cannot be ignored, one is the driver, and the other is the cleaner. They have a humble position, but they can see or hear too many things from the boss, and there must be a way to do it for a long time. She didn't know that Liu Fei taught him these words when he took Huang Ligong into sales.

The car drove to the suburbs, and it took more than an hour to arrive. Xu Qianqian nodded Huang Ligong's arm, Huang Ligong looked up and followed her fingers, a three-story shopping mall facing the road, with colorful advertising slogans painted on the wall: Robot self-selected supermarket. Under the advertising slogan, there are many brand logos.

"You're all in the supermarket." Xu Qianqian said with a chuckle.

Huang Ligong glanced at the pile of brands, most of which were miscellaneous brands, and shook his head.

In front is the entrance of the industrial park. A line of eye-catching wrought iron characters, towering at the top of the factory: China's largest industrial robot supply base. The car went in and parked in front of a building. A few minutes later, Liao Zhichao walked out of the door to greet him.

"Let's go, let's go see the workshop." He greeted Huang Ligong. After taking two steps, Liao Zhichao pointed to the wrought iron characters on the roof of the row of factories, drew an arc in the air with his right hand, and said, "We want to be China's largest industrial robot supply base, this is not blowing." You see, large and small enterprises have settled in one after another. ”

There are seven rows of new factories on the left, and each row is a large workshop. On the right is a large open space with grass, occupying two-thirds of the area, waiting to be developed. The excavator is digging a pit and pulling up the frame of the new plant.

This is a big project that Liao Zhichao has started in the local area, and it is listed as an industrial class and an example of intelligent manufacturing.

Huang Ligong and Liao Zhichao had a tea and a meal in Jiangcheng, and were recommended by a friend in the same industry. More than half a year ago, Liao Zhichao found the middleman and said that he wanted to meet Huang Ligong. Huang Ligong remembers that this middle-aged man with a fat body and a height of less than one meter six or five speaks in a big tone, and he opens and closes his mouth to see how many billions of investments, making industrial investment, and when it comes to happiness, he dances like a child, and after a meal, he is his ambitious industrial robot career.

What makes Huang Ligong useful is that Liao Zhichao is not confused when he is old, and he does not have any neglect or preaching because Huang Ligong is more than ten years younger than him, but sometimes stops and asks modestly: "Am I right?" "It's like asking and talking to yourself, and the look is even a little cute. Huang Ligong was a rare qualified listener, noncommittal to Liao Zhichao's questioning, and occasionally smiled. In the past, on such occasions and such issues, he liked to be unconventional and express his own opinions, and he must make an astonishing argument to make an ugly appearance. Liao Zhichao acquiesced to him, this young man was too knowledgeable, so he talked more and more.

Huang Ligong called him yesterday, and he immediately remembered the happy chat at that dinner. Hearing Huang Ligong say that Ruili Technology Company wanted financing, he was full of enthusiasm and invited Huang Ligong to come over and have a look, and the financing thing was easy to say.

Huang Ligong seemed to see a lightning bolt in the rainy night, illuminating the road ahead.

It's all some assembly workshop. The house has high ceilings, and the interior is spacious enough to build an indoor studio. Every row of houses is a company, and most of the names and brands have never been heard of by Huang Ligong. Even so, heroic slogans are painted in prominent places on the walls of every house, and you can see them as soon as you look up.

"Free human hands and let robots work for us"

"Robot Production Robot"

……

Liao Zhichao stood under these slogans, leaned forward, opened his palms and made a semi-arc, waving them in the air for a grander slogan-like interpretation. Flowing along the way, it can be seen that this is what he loves to do and has done it hundreds of times. Huang Ligong noticed that through the glass and the doorway, the assembly workers in various uniforms were busy, hammering and beating. His stomach cramped. Under the slogan of "robot production robot", automation is created in the least automated way. He seemed to see what he had been before.

Companies or sectors without any technological content have no future. Chinese officers like to swarm and flock to where they find money, whether it lasts long or not, pounce on it, and whether this cake is suitable for them. The obvious consequence is overcapacity. When I was in college, my teachers lashed out at the bad habit in the classroom, and there was a rush of electrolytic aluminum, steel, cement, and even automobiles. Soon after the teacher's criticism, industries such as electrolytic aluminum, steel and cement ushered in strict national energy restrictions. Those who have invested heavily in following the trend, expanding from small production capacity to large production capacity, have not been able to get licenses and loans, and have encountered local land restrictions, shut down and transferred, and have no tears for a while. At that time, the private steel giant Tieben had an accident and almost disintegrated. At that time, Huang Ligong was just an ordinary student, admiring the teacher's steady and accurate prediction, and had no intuitive feeling for the seriousness of what the teacher said, and the severity reflected in the series of strict production capacity events. At this moment, I felt the spasmodic pressure in the middle of it. Wind, how many people have been killed by this word, and how many things have been killed. Yes, on the tuyere, even pigs can blow up. At the beginning, perhaps. But as soon as a pig actually starts chasing the tuyere, someone will move out of the blower and wait triumphantly with a knife and fork below for the pigs to fall from a great height.

Back in Liao Zhichao's office, it was also very lenient, so lenient that he opened a big PA

ty, no problem. A huge bonsai, standing on the right side of the coffee table, rockery and flowing water, is done in a similar way. Xu Qianqian noticed it as soon as she entered the door, looked at it carefully, nodded, and smiled on her face. Liao Zhichao closed it in his eyes, a little proud, this beautiful little girl understands goods. He brought the new client into the office and waited for this moment. He couldn't see that Xu Qianqian's smile was full of understanding and understanding, the bonsai was not bad, but unfortunately the environment was wrong. Human furnishings, from objects to bonsai, from artworks to gardens, and most importantly, blend with the environment. Once, when she was at the Tate Museum, an old man with a white beard took his students to see an exhibition in class, and she heard the old man say, "We don't decorate a house with art, we use the whole house to decorate art." She thought so.

"When we become a family and you move in, move this big bonsai over to celebrate your housewarming." Liao Zhichao laughed to himself after speaking.

Settled? Xu Qianqian glanced at Huang Ligong quickly.

Huang Ligong looked at Liao Zhichao with questioning eyes. Liao Zhichao sat down at the tea table, beckoned Huang Ligong to sit beside him, and then skillfully made tea, poured tea for all three of them, and said slowly, "Didn't Mr. Huang talk to me about investment yesterday?" You're short of money, I know. No problem, wrap it up on me. ”

"As long as the business is developing, how can there be no shortage of money? My friends from Huawei say they are also short of money. Vanke is also short of money. Huang Ligong waved his hand easily, "Lack of money means that it is developing." ”

Liao Zhichao smiled, showed a mouthful of buckteeth, and patted Huang Ligong's thigh, "Come on?!" You Kunpeng Robot has been making big price cuts during this time, and you are all doing this business, and it is strange that you are not short of money in this loss-making business. ”

"Oh, thank you Mr. Liao for your concern for us." Huang Ligong quietly moved his leg as far as possible, and said with a smile, "This is an Internet sales strategy, not a profit."

Liao Zhichao leaned over and whispered, "Hehe, do you know what to call you in the circle?" ”

"Yellow Cannon." Xu Qianqian hurriedly answered, with a deliberate sense of self-satisfaction in her tone.

Huang Ligong smiled at the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and made a helpless look.

"It's not that good." Liao Zhichao said, "Everyone calls him a stirring stick, muddying the market and prices, but he grits his teeth with hatred."

Huang Ligong was stunned, this was the first time he had heard of it, and said with a smile: "Why haven't you seen Mr. Liao grit his teeth?" ”

Liao Zhichao sat up straight, laughed, pointed at Huang Ligong and said, "I just like you like this!" I need you to do the same. Don't be a big-tailed wolf, a robot robot, with a nice name, isn't it just assembled by a bunch of iron galas? Li Shufu said that the cow, not to mention how difficult and high-tech the car is, isn't it just four wheels and two rows of sofas? It's the same as a robot, a computer and a few robotic arms. Brother, you pierced the window paper and shouted out the emperor's new clothes.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh again, proud of his wonderful metaphor.

After he finished laughing, Huang Ligong said, "Mr. Liao is right, it is not difficult to build industrial robots, and our Chinese manufacturing industry can make everything." However, intelligent manufacturing, manufacturing transformation and upgrading, is completely different. If the layman doesn't understand, he can question it, and we can't be arrogant when we do this business ourselves. ”

"That's that, that's." Liao Zhichao listened to Huang Ligong's words with a faint denial, and immediately stopped the signs and changed the topic, "Robots are to replace manpower, and this demand will always exist objectively." According to the labor situation in the Yangtze River Delta, the aging of the population, the rise of labor costs, the structural shortage of labor will become more and more obvious, and the trend of robot replacement will only become more and more intense. ”

In the end, his tone exuded a strong confidence, and his broad face became serious. Huang Ligong couldn't help but admire his discourse system and the speed of state switching.

"The key logic of the rise of robots is efficiency transformation, which replaces repetitive and heavy work through machines, so that people's work can be transferred to a higher value chain. Free human hands, hey. Huang Ligong also said seriously. Liao Zhichao laughed knowingly. Huang Ligong continued, "This is essentially an economic account. In the future, China's industrial robots, who can first promote scale, will have the opportunity to reduce costs through scale......"

"Brother Huang, you're on point!" Liao Zhichao interjected excitedly. Huang Ligong took the initiative to say what he was most proud of, and his status was cordially raised to the level of a brother. He opened his eyes wide, looked around at the two young people in front of him, and patted the table, "That's what I'm doing." As you have just seen, scale is the only way for industrial robots. We want to be the largest supply base of industrial robots in China. ”

Huang Ligong smiled bitterly, and didn't know how to talk to him for a while. Xu Qianqian took it and said, "Mr. Liao, I see that the scale of your place here is not small, but the brand is not big, it seems that they are all producing small robots, four-axis." ”

Liao Zhichao smiled, "A spark can start a prairie fire." Mao ** was also at the beginning, there were no regular troops, no regular weapons, but as long as there was enthusiasm and scale, in the end, the countryside surrounded the city. He opened his arms to the two of them in a welcoming gesture, "So I'm going to welcome you in." In a short period of time, Kunpeng Robot not only got the six axes, but also played the brand. Young people are bold, violent, fast, two words: awesome! ”

Immediately, he said seriously, "Come in, it's a family." Money, not a problem, I'll vote for you! ”

Huang Ligong was a little tired of Liao Zhichao's fast and slow, serious and bloody speech, but the last sentence made his heart jump again. Money! Cast! He stared at Liao Zhichao, wondering if this uncle's money was as serious as his expression?

This inherently empty industrial area, low-end miscellaneous industrial robot brands, on the surface of the excess capacity, he naturally sees it in his eyes, will not ignore it, but as long as real money comes in, what about the emptiness and low-end excess? As long as Kunpeng can catch his breath and ride the dust in the field of domestic industrial robots - he has never doubted this - is it so important to start from the mud pit or from the Fengcao Horse Farm?

"There is absolutely no problem with investment, when will your headquarters move here, and when will the money be in place!" Liao Zhichao saw Huang Ligong's hesitation in his eyes and added one yard.

"Impossible!" Huang Ligong has not responded, and Xu Qianqian immediately rejected neatly.

Liao Zhichao was stunned, and a little displeased, and the expression on his face clearly wrote, what are the little ladies interjecting. He threw this meaning to Huang Ligong with his eyes.

Huang Ligong thought for a while and said, "It's not realistic to move the headquarters here. However, it is still feasible to build an assembly shop here. ”

Liao Zhichao looked dissatisfied and said, "Brother, I'll be honest with you, this is the basic requirement of investment." My investment is to serve the big industry strategy, not to make things difficult for you. Why are there industrial parks all over the country? Circle the industry, it is called an industrial park, right? Everyone is circled together, the park can be fully reused, tax exemption and one reduction, as well as government support and financial support, so as to achieve a win-win situation. ”

Huang Ligong and Xu Qianqian glanced at each other. Huang Ligong's heart is bright, if you want this investment, you must move the headquarters here. Liao Zhichao's real intention is not to intensify the economy of the park, as he said, but to let Kunpeng's tax revenue fall here. It seems that Liao Zhichao tossed this industrial robot industrial park, and he also made a big promise. The drunkard's meaning is not in the wine, but in a series of support, government land, government guidance fund investment, bank loans, tax incentives and so on. He needs a strong façade to deliver on his promises and support the next round of expansion.

Liao Zhichao shook his head lightly and said, "They are all people who understand and don't tell lies." You just said it very well, whoever scales first, who reduces the cost, wins. Why do you have to come in? Because the industrial park is the largest scale, you come in, more industrial robots come in, the more powerful the scale effect will be. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, moistened his dry and hot throat, and said in a wooing tone, "You play low-price competition, and you have a very good appetite for me." To tell you the truth, I am more ambitious than you, and I want to engage in a low-price strategy for domestic brands. Don't talk to me about technological innovations and international breakthroughs, which are not suitable for national conditions. We just want to engage in low prices and Huaihai tactics, which is such a mechanical thing, don't really think it's tall. ”

Huang Ligong smiled bitterly, and didn't bother to respond. Scaling is not what Liao Zhichao understands. Whoever can take the lead in driving scale will have the opportunity to reduce costs through scale; When the cost breaks through a certain threshold, the technology leadership will continue to evolve with the market leadership. Many people may see the immediate benefits, but often do not see that after three or five years, enterprises without technological innovation will inevitably be eliminated.

He suddenly felt a sense of humiliation, which was completely different from the feeling of the roadshow at Lin Yiming's place. In Lin Yiming's place, although he is tight and aggressive, it can still be regarded as a kind of supervision. Here, it is pulling people into the water, and there is no bottom line in the name of investment.

"Mr. Liao, using low-end gameplay may not be able to play the high-end industry." Xu Qianqian took it.

Liao Zhichao pouted and shook his head: "Industrial robots are high-end industries, but whose high-end industry is it?!" Let's break it down, what is the upstream of the industrial robot industry? The three core components: reducer, servo system and controller, have taken up seventy percent of the cost of the robot. The most core and most profitable links are in the hands of the four major families. ”

Huang Ligong was silent. He doesn't agree with Liao Zhichao's concept, but the facts are correct. Digong's reducer, Fack's servo control system, Dingbang's servo motor, and JIA's power control are all overlords in their respective fields, with the largest share in the world. These enterprises have been precipitated and tempered for decades or even hundreds of years.

"As for the whole machine, it is basically monopolized by the four major families, with a global share of 6%. You said high-end industry, that is the high-end industry of the four families, is it yours? What do you compete with them? How to compete? Liao Zhichao continued to chatter, "We are kindergartens, and we are doctoral students, can we PK together?" I understand your ambitions, but if you are too ambitious, you will only die a miserable death. How do you think China's manufacturing industry has developed, that is, to understand the national conditions, recognize the reality, first do a good job in low-end and low prices, and occupy the market, which is the king of survival. ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Liao Zhichao coughed, lowered his voice, and eased down: "Brother, if you move the headquarters here, I can get as much money as you want." Don't think I don't know, at my age, I'm also an old man in the manufacturing industry, and your low-price strategy, no matter how big the pool is, it will be drained. Your market, my money, together force the four major families to reduce the price and slip, occupy this market, and run with you in the future. ”

Although this money situation was very tempting, Huang Ligong still shook his head. Liao Zhichao's high-minded remarks, he is very familiar with and once believed. When he first founded Kunpeng, he had countless similar arguments with Zhang Wenfeng and Liu Ruiyang, and he may have said the same thing impassionedly. However, since the roadshow with Lin Yiming, he has gradually realized that he has been speculative and undetermined in the past. The industry of a big country is definitely not made in this way. Perhaps, at the beginning of the game, you need to accumulate and you need to follow. However, at this time and from time to time, each generation of industrialists has the mission of each generation of industrialists. In this generation, it is necessary to cling to the so-called national conditions and experience of the previous generation, which is really insulting to the identity of industrial people.

Huang Ligong stretched out his hand, shook Liao Zhichao, and said, "Thank you Mr. Liao for looking up to us." However, Kunpeng's headquarters can't be moved easily, and Kunpeng's route won't be moved easily. This is also the basic requirement for our financing. ”

Liao Zhichao's face was very ugly.

The two took a taxi back to the hotel by themselves.

Huang Ligong sat in the back row, and Xu Qianqian sat in the passenger seat.

"I didn't expect Suzhou to have such a local park." Xu Qianqian turned her head to look at Huang Ligong and said.

"That guy has a couple of brushes." Huang Ligong said in a muffled voice. Liao Zhichao sees people talking about people, talking nonsense when he sees ghosts, and he is full of habits in the rivers and lakes for a while, and he talks endlessly like a scholar for a while, which is really a little greasy. But that's only one side. On the other hand, he pounded the concept of domestic industrial robot supply base, anyway, the result was seen, a large area of industrial land, government guidance funds, industrial investment funds, and bank credit lines are all installed in it. "But it's stupid enough, you can't look at it, how can anyone give him money?"

He is very depressed, industrial investment is running to invest in the so-called tuyere and long-sleeved people who are good at dancing, those who work hard and innovate, where is the place?

"You may make the wrong investment, but you can't be stupid."

"Huh?" Huang Ligong wondered.

"Being stupid and making money are two different things. A place where stupid people can make a profit, smart people are a loser, if you have money, who will you vote for? Xu Qianqian asked him rhetorically. When she was studying in a British school, the teacher took them to do sand table deductions, and when she talked about the irrationality of the market, she solemnly reminded them that capital is always rational. If capital is seen doing something stupid, it is more likely that the environment is stupid. In a stupid environment, the most rational behavior is to invest stupidly in order to make a profit and exit.

Huang Ligong stared out the window thoughtfully. Xu Qianqian saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Although I didn't get any money, I was very rewarding this time. Maybe it's bigger than the money. Huang Ligong said slowly.

"What's the catch?"

"Why should smart people take a detour to stupidity?! If stupidity is the only way to succeed, then use your wisdom to do stupid things. Huang Ligong smiled and immediately changed the subject, "You talked to me about a British writer before, what is your name?" You said that the novel he wrote, the content of which I was not interested in, but the title of the book is very good, and it is all four words. ”

"Dickens?"

"Yes, yes, you told me about his two novels."

"The World Is Hard" and "Great Expectations." Xu Qianqian understood and read out the names of these two books.

"The world is difficult, but the future is great." Huang Ligong repeated, "This is our reality and dream. We've all been here this way. ”
