Chapter 236: Cooperation!
The storm within the Longteng Group lasted for several months before it gradually subsided.
Nearly 100 middle and high-level managers were dismissed, and more than 20 were handed over for prosecution.
Nearly 800 ordinary employees were dismissed, and dozens of them were prosecuted on suspicion of crimes.
Because of the inferior materials they produce, they have caused at least billions of losses to the aerospace industry.
According to the thinking of many military workers with more extreme temperaments, they should all go to court-martials and be shot.
After completing the treatment of these moths, the newly appointed general manager Chen Chunming began to vigorously promote the quality management system within the group.
Because of this incident, Zhang Xingyang stayed in Longteng Group for nearly two months, and even many scientific research tasks were delayed.
But it's all worth it if possible quality issues are not addressed.
Then many aerospace products produced in the future will bury a mine that will explode at any time!
I don't know when it will suddenly erupt!
It's like a rotten sore on the thigh, if you don't remove it in time, when it poisons the bone marrow, all that awaits you is death.
Shaving hurts, but it's much better than waiting to die.
"If the Longteng Group is still in your hands like before, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhang Xingyang turned his gaze back from the window and said.
Chen Chunming has been in charge of Factory 112, which manufactures rocket engines, for nearly eight years, and has been handling all aspects very well.
Whether it is quality management or employee management, it is ranked first in the whole system.
"I'll do my best."
Chen Chunming's words were more cautious and did not say anything big.
"Longteng Group has just experienced so many things, people's hearts are fluctuating, you must have enough psychological preparation."
This point, even if Zhang Xingyang doesn't say it, Chen Chunming has felt it in the past few days.
If nothing else, personnel changes alone have caused a lot of trouble.
Dozens of middle and senior managers have been dismissed, and it is not without any impact.
Although the complex corporate structure has brought about the disease of large companies, it is still necessary for a company like Longteng Group to have a sound corporate structure.
At least it won't happen, and there will be a situation where the person in charge cannot be found if there is a problem.
"Now everyone is talking about what happened before, and the production efficiency has dropped a bit."
Chen Chunming thought for a while and then said:
"However, the production quality has improved a lot compared with before, and the yield rate has increased from 95% to 98%."
"So I'm sure it's all temporary."
"In the future, the production efficiency will definitely be higher, and the yield rate can be further improved!"
Chen Chunming's statement is not unreasonable.
Previously, most of the workers in the new production base were only workers, and the compliance with the regulations was largely due to the deterrence of various severe penalties.
However, in recent times, those who have not been fired have basically received collective shares in the company.
In other words, they are actually working for themselves now.
Every time there is a little more yield, the company will be able to make more money, and it will be able to get more dividends at the end of the year.
It is much better to consciously comply with the rules than to rely on punishment to deter.
Zhang Xingyang nodded and said, "I also believe this." ”
"There's one more thing you need to pay attention to." Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xingyang said.
"Snecma wants to further strengthen cooperation with us in the aerospace manufacturing industry."
"In two days, their team will come and negotiate with us."
Snekma has been cooperating with Factory 703 for a long time.
However, before the two sides mainly focused on the field of cooperation in the field of raw materials.
Snecma imports thousands of tons of carbon fiber materials from the 703 factory every year.
This alone has billions of dollars in revenue.
Therefore, Zhang Xingyang still attaches great importance to cooperation with them.
After all, whoever you can't get along with will not get along with money.
Moreover, the relationship between the two parties is still in a good situation.
It is also a good choice for Snecma to place part of its aircraft manufacturing industry in the territory of the Dragon Kingdom.
Because, since entering the new century and joining the WTO, the demand for civil aviation in the dragon country has flourished.
A large number of passenger aircraft have to be purchased every year to barely meet these needs.
Many of these planes come from Airbus.
Many of Snekma's orders come from Airbus.
If part of the aviation manufacturing industry is placed in China, it will definitely be able to arouse the goodwill of many Chinese people.
Although this kind of thing will not have any obvious effect in normal times.
But when negotiating aircraft orders, it will still have a certain impact.
Sometimes, public sentiment has a significant impact on these huge amounts of international trade.
Snecma sees this very well.
So over the years, they have been committed to maintaining a good relationship with Longteng Group.
I hope that it can be further developed within the Dragon Country.
The globalists, led by Francis, in particular, are more radical in this regard.
They hope to transfer a large amount of manufacturing within their company to the territory of the Dragon Kingdom.
In Toulouse, they just need to keep the R&D department.
In this way, profits can be maximized.
Of course, this was opposed by many people within the house, and it was only possible to give up.
However, Snecma is a company after all, not a charity, and it is also profit-seeking.
Therefore, even if the entire manufacturing industry is not transferred to the Dragon Kingdom, it is still believed that some of the transfer is beneficial to higher interests.
This is where this collaboration began.
After Francis and his entourage arrived in Tokai City, they did not waste time and directly began the negotiation of cooperation.
Chen Chunming, who has always been prejudiced against the efficiency of the Gauls, has a feeling of admiration.
Chen Chunming had not worked with the Gauls before, and their work efficiency had never been too high.
So Chen Chunming has a very peculiar feeling.
"Welcome, Mr. Francis."
Chen Chunming came back to his senses after being stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and said to Francis.
"Thank you." After Francis and Chen Chunming shook hands warmly, he asked with some doubts:
"Why didn't you see Mr. Hu?"
"Hu Deming has a new work arrangement and cannot participate in our cooperation negotiations this time." Chen Chunming said.
Francis didn't particularly care about it, but he subconsciously asked after not seeing an old acquaintance.
The general direction of the cooperation between the two sides has been determined.
That is the co-manufacturing of aerospace parts.
The focus of the negotiations between the two sides is whether to establish a new joint venture between the two parties, or directly let Longteng Group carry out production.
Longteng Group itself has aerospace manufacturing capabilities, and also has the corresponding production qualifications.
Therefore, Longteng Group must hope to be able to produce itself.
However, Snecma still has a lot of concerns about this.
The most important thing in this is that if they authorize Longteng Group to carry out production, then it is difficult to control the production situation, and there are production problems, what should I do?
"We are still inclined to set up a new company to manufacture aircraft parts." Francis said slowly.
Francis's economic thinking was biased towards globalization, but he also considered the interests of the company, and thought that it would be better to set up a new company.
After all, Francis himself actually owns a portion of Snecma's shares.
His interests, to some extent, coincide with those of the company.
The re-establishment of a company will be more conducive to their control, and there will not be a situation where it will be completely hollowed out by the Dragon Group.
"It takes a long time to set up a new company to carry out manufacturing work, whether it is plant construction or application for production qualifications." Chen Chunming retorted.
"Time is money, and you must want to be able to produce as soon as possible!"
Even in this era of extremely fast engineering construction, it is necessary to build a high-level modern manufacturing plant.
It also takes at least three or four years.
Moreover, the construction of the plant is only the first step, and the subsequent application for production qualification is even more difficult.
Because the manufacture of aviation parts is different from ordinary mechanical parts.
It is more demanding in all aspects, and the qualification application is not so easy.
Longteng Group has spent a long time on this qualification.
In this way, it will take at least five or six years from the construction of the plant to the qualification and then to the start of the factory!
It is now the end of 2003, which means that if everything goes well, the new company will not start work until 09, and if it does not go well, it may not be able to start work for 10 years.
For such a long time, it is a pure input for both sides, and no benefits are produced.
This is also the reason why Chen Chunming has high hopes to convince the other party.
"The problem of plant and production qualification, we can completely solve it in the way of authorized production."
Francis, for his part, apparently had studied these for a long time and came up with a solution very smoothly.
"The new company will give your technology to you through licensing."
This is actually borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and the actual production is still carried out by Longteng Group, but it is a new company's brand.
For Francis, although there is still a possibility that this method will be overridden, at least they have a reason to meddle in most of the links.
Chen Chunming didn't expect that Francis would use such a method, and he fell into thinking for a while.
This method is more advantageous for Longteng Group than to completely rebuild the plant.
After all, in the production process, the other party will use the workers and production lines of Longteng Group, and to some extent, it will also allow us to master their aircraft parts production technology.
However, compared with Chen Chunming's previous assumption, the production was completely carried out by the Longteng Group, which is a little worse.
After all, the restrictions on new companies are not conducive to their international reputation as Longteng Group.
Sometimes, fame is a very important thing.
"We need to discuss this point before giving you an answer."
Such a major event is not something that Chen Chunming can make a decision on alone.
Francis naturally understood that the content of this general direction of cooperation was not so easy to determine, so he waved his hand and motioned for Chen Chunming to discuss.
"Should we agree to their proposal?"
In another conference room, Chen Chunming looked at Zhang Xingyang's video and asked.
Zhang Xingyang, who is responsible for many scientific research tasks, just left Longteng Group a few days ago, so he can only participate in the meeting by video.
"Their proposal is not bad, and our negotiations should still focus on the new company's shares and voting rights."
Zhang Xingyang didn't dwell on this issue like Chen Chunming.
"If a new company is established, what will happen to our previous aviation parts, and will they be separated?" Military representative Xu Yuanchao asked another question.
In the Longteng Group, there are also many aviation parts in production.
A large part of these parts are used in fighter jets.
Therefore, Xu Yuanchao's worries are not unreasonable.
Will there be leaks?
These are all things they have to think about.
"With the exception of some classified special parts and large-sized wings, all other generic parts are produced at the new company." Zhang Xingyang said after thinking for a while.
In fact, there are very few parts that need to be kept secret within the Longteng Group, and most of these are produced by professional aircraft factories.
Most of them are structural parts that are common in aviation.
"Well, in that case, I agree with the idea of setting up a new company."
The military represented by Xu Yuanchao, because of its relatively small shares, does not have much voting power, and mainly supervises some possible problems.
Now that a consensus had been reached internally, Chen Chunming returned to the original conference room without stopping.
Start a new round of negotiations.
"We tentatively agree with your proposal, but we still want to know your thoughts on equity and voting rights."
Chen Chunming's speech was very crisp, and there was almost no mud and water.
Francis smiled and said, "Thank you for agreeing with us on the form of production." ”
"In terms of shares, we will contribute $55 million in share capital, and of course a series of aerospace parts manufacturing technology."
The companies Snecma and Safran, behind Francis, represent almost the highest level in Gaul when it comes to aerospace manufacturing.
Therefore, their technology still has many advantages for Longteng Group, which has just started in the civil aviation manufacturing industry.
"We are willing to give $110 million as equity capital."
This figure was decided in the course of the discussion just now.
For Longteng Group, it is not a big number, but it is less than two months of profit.
"I want to be able to take 60 percent of the shares in the new company!"
The two sides then fell into a series of negotiations over the issue of equity.
Again, the point is how much technology Snecma is willing to invest in this company!
Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!!
