March 16th.

Following the transfer of the PLC Foundation, GE visited the Osawa Industrial Complex again in the name of a strategic partner of the Iron Sheet Company.

The exchange group composed of hundreds of people, under the leadership of Chairman Welch, took 20 small buses, passed through the newly opened Jize Expressway-Huangnigang crossing, detoured along the Daze Outer Ring Road, and entered the north gate of Daze Power.

As the host, Xu Fei personally led the secretary team, the Third Army Division, and some high-level executives of the operation management center to hold a grand welcome ceremony for the arrival of General Electric.

Gun salutes, flowers, red carpets, lion dances, gongs and drums......

After Welch got out of the car, he looked around the somewhat familiar factory area and couldn't help but look back at the plaque of the 'Iron Company'.

"Xu, where did I go last time I came to Daze?"

"When I went to Daze Power, the factory was not built here, and the iron sheet company needed to lease workshops, warehouses, etc."

Xu Fei said, looking up at the sun, "Daze Power is in the south of the road, and the iron company is in the north of the road." ”

Welch looked up, "Yes, last time I had my back to the sun, this time I was facing the sun. ”

It's not that Welch is stupid, it's that the Osawa industrial complex is too big.

Covering an area of 20,000 acres, there are Hongqi General Factory under construction, Central Business District, Huangnigang New District, Xujiacun Investment Leize Industrial Park, Leifei Technology Investment Hound Breeding Base, and more and more wind power towers.

Especially after the sixth round of recruitment, additional factories will be added, dormitories will be added, and various infrastructure facilities will be added......

With each passing day, coupled with someone's rigorous 'card change' gameplay, as well as the collective change of staff.

Not to mention Welch, a foreigner, even if Xu Fei, who has been addicted to games for a month, suddenly came out to be a bit confused.

Welch didn't care about any of this, and followed Xu Fei to the original 'Tin Toy Factory Workshop Office'.

The layout and style are different from the 'Iron Sheet Company Workshop Office', which makes it completely abandon the doubts in his heart.

The clerk who is in charge of the office and handles the affairs of tin toys by the way, wears the formal clothes of the tin company and serves tea and snacks.

In addition, dozens of receptionists arranged for other GE executives to take a break in the next office area.

After Welch sat down, he put down the Chinese box, entered the password, flicked the lid open, and pushed it in front of Xu Fei.

In the past month, Siemens and Iron Sheet have dominated the battle for the global electrical market, completely breaking the old pattern and reshuffling the electrical industry.

Source change app】

Perhaps the vast majority of people are unaware of what is happening, and only feel that electric lights are cheaper, household appliances are cheaper, elevators are increasing, mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, and computers are beginning to drop in price.

But rising to the national level, this is a major upgrade of basic industries involving the world.

The big upgrade represents going to the old and welcoming the new, and stimulating the market potential.

For example, Li used to open a lamp factory and made a profit of 500,000 yuan a year.

Last month, I happened to see the iron sheet company launch the "LED-1650 energy-saving lamp PC board automatic foot cutting machine", "LED bulb induction automatic lamp head dotting and riveting machine, locking machine", "related stamping machine, injection molding machine, wire cutting machine" and so on, a full set of quotations, half lower than Hitachi, Siemens, only 3 million.

In addition, ICBC Building and ABC Building provide low-interest loans, and Daze Power provides technical guidance.

Li immediately sold the old equipment, introduced a full set of new equipment, and then increased the output by 100 times with the original team.

Although the number of enterprises investing in LED energy-saving lamps has increased, and the price of products has been reduced and popularized, the market demand is greater, and Li has made a profit of 500,000 a month.

Roughly calculated, 6 million a year!

Not only can you repay the loan, but you can also become bigger and stronger.

So, Li changed to a new car and took out a loan to expand production.

Li's friend saw that Li was developed, invited guests to dinner, learned from the experience by the way, and after learning all this, he decided to invest in electronic watches.

The production line of children's electronic watches was introduced from the iron sheet company, with a daily output of 10,000 sets, and handed over to the supply and marketing cooperatives for consignment, with a profit of 900,000 yuan a month.

Seeing this, Li's friend's friend invited him to dinner, and the first two had the confidence and original capital, and the three of them partnered to invest in a 'small household refrigerator of about 80~100L'.

So, it was earned again.

Li's friend's friend's friend, invite you to dinner......

And so on.

The number of brick-and-mortar businesses is up, production is up, product prices are down, but the market is vast, and investors are all earning.

Some people make money, some people follow suit, there are more and more investors, more and more competitiveness, and product iteration speed is getting faster and faster.

Today's children's electronic watches are bulky and ugly, next week's children's electronic watches are light and beautiful, and next month's children's electronic watches can be located......

And all this is inseparable from the support of 'processing and manufacturing equipment'.

In other words, the faster the product iteration speed, the more orders for 'processing and manufacturing equipment' of the iron sheet company.

So, look at this phenomenon in the whole industry, and then look at the world......

Even Morgan couldn't help but sigh: 'That guy has opened a trillion-dollar market!' ’

On top of that, the company not only helped design new products, but also gave away patent licenses.

For example, MP3, there were only a few brands in the past, and after the iron company came out, the technology was licensed to customers who purchased manufacturing equipment for free, resulting in MP3 now being everywhere, with dozens of brands.

For example, MP4 was not available before, but now it is not only available, but it is also everywhere.

In this way, the demand for small LED screens, memory cards, headphones, data cables, etc., increases, related industries increase, and some people purchase 'processing and manufacturing equipment'.

Against this background.

The iron company is against Siemens, and it is difficult to estimate how much profit it makes.

However, GE in the high-end market, sneak attack on Siemens and Japanese companies of General Electric, this time a full 2.7 billion US dollars, and there are still 6 billion US dollars worth of orders waiting to be delivered.

A month!

Welch tasted the sweetness.

Immediately, I thought of going to the East to form 'Magic Capital GM' and 'Iron Sheet GM', and in the global automotive industry, Smith pressed against Ford.

Then my heart moved, and I thought of OEM.

Take, for example, a large set of PLCs.

Designed and produced in North America, it takes 10 million US dollars.

In the East, the iron sheet company was commissioned to design and produce, referring to the information provided by Smith, it is estimated that it will only cost one-fifth of the cost.

If you entrust an order worth 6 billion US dollars to an iron sheet company.

I used to earn up to 2 billion, but now I earn at least 3 billion.

And the R&D department can be dismantled, the production enterprise can be sold, and the operating costs can be reduced......

(During this period, North America was deindustrializing, like Smith, many industrial companies, were considering turning to finance, and the real General Electric was about to sell itself out.) ）

So, here comes Welch.

As for the Large Particle Collider......

"Xu, if there is an order worth 6 billion US dollars, you can help us OEM for free, and I am willing to take 2.7 billion US dollars to invest in the large particle collider project."

"You're thinking about fart."

Xu Fei roughly flipped through the first few orders of the suitcase, and directly pushed the suitcase back, "Welch, you have to understand that investing in the Large Particle Collider is the Iron Sheet Company's own project, and there is no need for outside participation, what we have is funds." ”

Welch shrugged, "Everyone knows that the Iron Sheet Company has suffered serious losses because of energy. ”

"Times have changed."

Xu Fei snapped her fingers, and the second sister, who was in charge of external affairs, brought a laptop in the form of an 'industrial microcomputer', connected to the CCC network, and logged in to various bank accounts.

World Bank for Settlements: 12 billion euros - sales of power banks in the European region.

Farkok Bank: 6.3 billion euros - European sales of Fuel-Efficient King Motors.

UBS: €2.1 billion - European sales of hounds.

Deutsche Nationalsbank: 4.5 billion euros - sales of machinery in three countries.

Tuji Bank: 1.1 billion US dollars - Balkan power bank sales.

Bank of Boston: $4.5 billion - North American power bank sales.

Citibank: $7.7 billion - North American mechanical toy sales.

Wajima SoftBank: 2.6 billion US dollars - mechanical toys sales.

South Bangzi Bank: ......

ICBC: ......

Nanyang Commercial Bank: ......

"Our chairman, Mr. Foreman, is very confident to invest in such a large project."

Welch's gaze swept across the screen, not marveling at the Tin Sheet's funds.

It is even known that at least half of the funds are not exposed.

For example, the armament business.

For example, the real estate business.

For example, the beauty business.

But this also shows that Morgan values Director Xu.

It's so capable!

In less than a year, the iron sheet company turned losses into profits, and it made so much money.

"Xu, I'm sorry, I take back what I just said."

Welch no longer detours, "Investing in the Large Particle Collider shouldn't be a bargaining chip, so let's put it another way." ”

"Huh?"

"As long as you let GE take a stake in the large particle collider and hold more than 10% of the shares, the order worth 6 billion US dollars in my hand will be handed over to your OEM."

"You're thinking too much."

Xu Fei refused on the spot.

GE can find Fujifilm and Hitachi foundry, but the related costs are higher than independent production, because the design of PLC is different, and the programming is not the same, GM's is 'General Standard', Siemens' is 'Siemens Standard', and Japanese is 'Japanese Standard'.

To find a Wajima OEM, Wajima enterprises should prepare a set or even n sets of new production lines and related teams.

Moreover, the battle for the electrical industry is still continuing.

Unless Wajima is pressured by North America, it is impossible for it to contract with competitors.

Therefore, at present, the only companies in the world that can OEM for GE are iron sheet companies that use the 'GM PLC basis'.

It is precisely because Welch understands this that he will tie the OEM business to the project of 'investing in the Large Particle Collider'.

Otherwise, Director Xu opened his mouth, maybe the foundry cost would be doubled, and he would ask for a rebate.

"Xu, let's not talk about the Large Particle Collider now, only about OEM."

"You say."

"Orders worth $6 billion, and GE's future orders that could be hundreds of billions of dollars......"

"You think too much, after the PLC is rotten on the street, the iron company dominates the low-end field, and other companies will transform to the high-end PLC, and strengthen the performance of the high-end PLC, and then reduce the price on a large scale, which will eventually lead to a sharp rise in market competitiveness. Can it be compared to Fuji? Hitachi? ”

"Xu, you can't belittle us like this, we haven't made progress in fifty years? You must know that in this world, the only company that can best represent North America is General Electric. Heating in winter, air conditioning in summer, tap water for drinking, buses and subways to and from work, faxes and telephones in the office room, as well as all the electricity and missiles used in war, are all provided by General Electric. ”

GE has its own pride.

But because of this pride, it has gradually been surpassed by other 'electric companies'.

For example, Westinghouse Electric.

Xu Fei didn't speak, and motioned to the second sister to present the 'OEM contract' sent by Westinghouse Electric.

Seeing this, Welch was a little confused.

Everyone knows that Edison invented direct current, and Tesla invented alternating current.

The two sides faced off, Tesla won, and people are now using alternating current.

But Westinghouse, to which Tesla belongs, won the current but lost the business war.

As a result, Westinghouse Electric withdrew from the commercial field and entered transportation, aerospace, and military.

However, after more than 100 years of development, no matter how down-and-out a company is, it can become a behemoth by virtue of the above business.

At present, Westinghouse Electric has 230 factories and about 130,000 employees, and the nature of the enterprise is similar to that of Daze Group, with annual sales of 21 billion US dollars.

The orders sent by the other party include the manufacturing and processing equipment of power generation equipment, power transmission and transformation equipment, electrical equipment, point control equipment, and LED TV OEM + purchase orders.

The total value is $3.5 billion.

Unfortunately, Toshiba is negotiating with the other party to buy 77% of the shares for $4.7 billion, making Westinghouse Electric a Toshiba holding.

Therefore, Xu Fei hesitated.

He is very suspicious that the real reason why Toshiba bought Westinghouse is that the curve is looking for an iron sheet company to do OEM.

This matter needs to be investigated by the intelligence services.

Welch was silent for a long time, "Xu, we are the strategic partners. ”

"Yes, so, we should join hands in a new era."

Xu Fei tore up the power of attorney of Westinghouse Electric on the spot, "Now, it depends on the sincerity of your company." ”

"Okay, we don't bargain anymore, GE intends to entrust future PLC orders and processing and manufacturing orders to your foundry, as a cooperative enterprise, I don't know what you can provide?"

"A mature set of PLM technology."

"What's that?"

"First of all, the PMC included in it is a system that can control the 'production plan and production schedule', as well as the supervision and management of the planning, tracking, sending, receiving, storage, and use of materials, and the prevention and treatment of sluggish materials.

It mainly has two aspects of work: PC (production planning, production progress management) and MC (material planning, procurement, tracking, sending, receiving, storage, use and other aspects of supervision and management, as well as waste prevention and treatment).

If it integrates ERP, MES, CRM and other tools, its functions can extend from market analysis and product planning to product design, process engineering, procurement + agreement, manufacturing, sales and distribution, after-sales service, and product iteration.

To use your general term, product lifeagement.

Abbreviation: PLM system. ”

Xu Fei said, turned on the computer, logged in to the e-commerce procurement system of the North American military department, made and transplanted to the power bank's 'DZ e-commerce procurement terminal', "You can also call it 'product life cycle management system', I invented it." ”

Welch: "......"
