Chapter 762: What big thing has my good sister done to make it so expensive?
Wang Lidong pointed to the steel seal on the bearing, which clearly displayed the English letters "tz.ng", and then handed Fatty a supply quotation.
Fatty Hu looked at the price. The bearings of the same model were only one-third of the imported bearings. "Damn it, it's really made by your factory." He hurriedly greeted Wang Lidong and sat down at his desk, making tea and passing cigarettes.
Finally, he shamelessly proposed that he wanted to be Nantong's general agent.
"You're getting thicker and thicker. Just a shabby store like yours, with two to three million turnovers a year, what a dream." The two of them chatted about the new agency contract, which was roughly the same as the previous one, but in the shop
For the goods, for the sake of my old classmate, I gave him an extra two hundred thousand.
After signing the agreement, he took his cousin to visit several wholesalers according to the list given by Tangyuan, some he knew and some he didn't.
"Xiao Wang, come on, come into my office to talk."
Boss Qian enthusiastically pulled Wang Lidong into the office upstairs, poured him a cup of tea, scattered some Chinese seeds, and then chatted for five or six minutes. The topic never left the subject of bearings.
On to the counterfeit bearings.
Nowadays, the bearing market in the Sihai Kingdom is full of fakes and shoddy products. For small factories like Wang Lidong, the profit of making their own brands is not as high as that of counterfeiting. The most important thing is that people don’t recognize small brands.
"We have an old relationship, so I won't go around in circles.
If you have such good craftsmanship, you might as well just imitate the brand of a major foreign manufacturer, and the wholesale price can increase by another 20 to 30%."
"As long as the quality of the products is the same as the samples, I will cover all the output of your factory, and the annual profit will be at least this amount." He raised three fingers as he said, "It's cheaper than making your own brand now.
What do you think about the extra heart?"
Wang Lidong sneered in his heart, thinking he was two hundred and fifty!
Is it true that all major foreign manufacturers eat fast and chant Buddha's name?
If you follow his advice and imitate imported bearings, let alone earn 30 million, you will have to start working on a sewing machine within two months.
Nowadays, most of the counterfeit bearings on the market are produced by small family workshops. They are replaced by one shot. Others have backers behind them.
For someone like him who has no connections and dares to imitate, it’s just a matter of reporting the phone.
"Boss Qian, let me tell you the truth. I am a small shareholder in this factory. I have no say in what is produced in the factory. I have to follow the arrangements of the major shareholders."
"It looks like this." Boss Qian looked at the gold on his wrist. It was almost five o'clock. "Xiao Wang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I will be the host tonight and we will have two drinks together. In addition, I will call your factory.
Everyone knows the major shareholder."
"Boss Qian, I'm sorry, I have something to do at home tonight, I'll treat you to another day.
The major shareholder of our factory went on a business trip the day before yesterday and won't be back until a while." Wang Lidong said that he would contact the major shareholder when he comes back and everyone would get together then.
After drinking half a cup of tea, he stood up and said goodbye, calling his enthusiastic cousin who was chatting with the shop girl, and paid for the boss's wholesale store.
When I got in the car, I told my cousin that from now on boss Qian's business will strictly abide by the terms of the contract.
JZGET Headquarters
The predecessors of JZGET are Koyo Seiko founded in 1921 and Toyohata Machinery founded in 1941.
Koyo Seiko is based on the production of bearings, which are known as the "rice of the industry". After decades of development, it has become an outstanding bearing manufacturer in Japan and even the world.
Toyohata Koki is an excellent machine tool manufacturer with customers all over the world. In addition to industrial machine tools, Toyohata Koki is also engaged in the production and sales of automobile steering gears and drive parts, covering a wide range of fields.
In January 2006, the two companies merged to create a new "JieZiGET". In 2015, JZGET's global sales reached approximately 1.4 trillion yen (approximately 84.85 billion yuan). Bearings alone accounted for the entire year.
More than 300 million units sold.
Shoaki Yamamoto, head of the Technology Development Headquarters, was busy reading a research progress report on bearing steel. Suddenly his phone vibrated twice. He picked it up and saw a new email.
Clicking to open it, it turned out to be a message sent to him by a stranger, asking him to sign for the express delivery.
Inexplicably, when I was about to click delete, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, handing over a paper box.
"Mr. Yamamoto, your express delivery is from Shihai Country. The sender is an unknown bearing company. It should contain bearings."
Yamamoto Shoaki was surprised. It was such a coincidence. He had just received the email and the stuff had arrived. He subconsciously looked around the office and found nothing unusual. Suddenly he smiled and realized that he was overthinking.
He took the carton and weighed it. It weighed about three or four kilograms. He looked at the sender: Tongzhong Bearing Factory. He had no impression.
He signaled the secretary to open the carton. The secretary took the paper knife, carefully pulled open the seal, opened the package, and found a bearing about fifty centimeters in diameter lying flat inside.
No, it should be a set of bearings, with a large bearing sleeve and a small bearing. After counting, there are five sets in total.
Isn't this a very popular way of playing recently?
There was an Erdezi man who inlaid five bearings of different sizes together to form a large top. As a result, it spun for 9 minutes!
After the video was uploaded, it went viral. Most of the employees in their company had played with their own bearings. Unfortunately, the longest record was only more than seven minutes.
Yamamoto Shoaki took the bearing from the secretary. The workmanship was very beautiful. Five bearings of different sizes were inlaid together to form a large top.
He has also played this game, and gently moved the outer ring. There was no resistance, it was very smooth, and the bearing rotated rapidly.
A quarter of an hour later, Shoaki Yamamoto took the bearing and hurriedly knocked on the door of the president's office.
"It took nearly ten minutes?" President Watanabe became a little uneasy after hearing the report from his subordinates. He took the bearing and gently turned it.
More than nine minutes later, Watanabe looked at the bearing that had stopped rotating and said, "Is this bearing delivered to you by express delivery from the manufacturer in Shihai Country?"
Shoaki Yamamoto bent down and said "Hi", "It's an unknown small factory in Nantong City, Suzhou Province. I just checked online. It has only a few million assets and an annual output of about 500,000 sets of bearings."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! President Watanabe took apart the bearing group and inspected it carefully. The workmanship was exquisite and several details were polished to perfection. "Impossible! The world is not
There may be such good technology.
Even Wugang and Luogang are not as good as the bearings made by our company. This must be a fake! It should be fake bearings made by the five major factories."
Watanabe's secretary reminded, "President, let the technical department test it, and we will know which factory produced it."
Watanabe was awakened by this word, and the director of the technical department was right next to him. He immediately asked Yamamoto to send the bearing for inspection.
In a twenty-story building less than two kilometers away from the headquarters of JZGET, Minebea Co., Ltd., one of the top ten bearing companies in Xiaoli, also received the same express delivery.
Tongzhong Bearing Factory
"Ding Ling Bell" has a mobile phone ringtone that wakes Wang Lidong, who is sleeping, and picked up the phone to watch the caller ID, ‘Qu Jiejie’.
Damn, I must be asking him again if he has any inside information about listed companies.
I pressed the connect button, but I didn't expect that this time I was not asking for inside information, but for information about Qu Xiaoxiao's time studying abroad in the country of mold. I only wanted dirty information.
Wang Lidong was a little surprised as to why Qu Lianjie asked about this, "Yes. But the price is not cheap."
Qu Lianjie said angrily, "How much, you name it!" He has made a lot of small money recently, two to three million is not a big deal. As long as he can get some dirty information, it will be worth it!
Wang Lidong said, "Twenty-five million."
Qu Lianjie smacked his teeth and asked, "Why is it so expensive?"
"You get what you pay for."
Qu Lianjie said excitedly, "What big thing has my good sister done to make it so expensive?"
"No comment."
"Xing Xing, I'm a regular customer, can't I tell you something?"
"Let's wait until you spend over 100 million with me and upgrade to vp."
"Someone spent 100 million?"
"Qu Lianjie, if nothing happens, I'll hang up. I don't have time to chat with you."
"Wait a minute, Mars, I want to buy news. Is there any inside information?"
"Yes, the old rules."
"no problem."
Three minutes later, there were 55 more Bitcoins in his account.
Wang Lidong looked at the computer screen and told the other party an inside information that Tangyuan had found.
When Tang Yuan saw her boss hanging up the phone, she meowed, "Boss, why did you send money to Qu Lianjie?"
"Do you know about fishing?" Wang Lidong glanced at the glutinous rice balls and asked, "How is the news I asked you to check?"
"There are five people in total who meet the boss's conditions."
Tang Yuan Cat waved his paw, and a folder popped up on the desktop. He clicked it and looked at it. The five documents were all from Chinese Americans who were in trouble, and they were all financial masters from Huaer Street. In front of these people, Andy was a primary school student.
level.
These five people have another thing in common. They all disappeared mysteriously and their lives and deaths are unknown. However, according to Tangyuan's investigation, these five people can no longer be found on the earth.
One of them aroused his interest. Wu Griffin entered the children's class at the age of 10. He was admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Peking University at the age of 14. He graduated with a PhD from the University of California at the age of 20. In 2015, his hedge fund topped the list of the most profitable hedge funds.
Shan became the "new king of global hedge funds" with a net worth of over US$5 billion.
It has been three months since he disappeared.
It's him.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then secretary Xiaoyu opened the door and entered, "Brother, I just received a call from a company called Jie State, saying that they will come to our factory tomorrow to discuss business."
The fish finally took the bait.
"Jie Zengt, what did you say?"
"It said it was about ten o'clock in the morning."
The time soon came to ten o'clock the next morning, and a small car drove into the gate of Tongzhong Bearing Factory.
"Yes, Wang Sang?"
Saburo Honda got out of the car and when he saw Wang Lidong, he immediately bowed ninety degrees. Wang Lidong accepted it calmly, smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands.
After exchanging business cards and chatting for a few words, he took Honda into the office and looked at the title on the business card, Deputy Director of the Second Purchasing Department of JZGET Headquarters.
"Head of Honda Department, I like to speak directly. Please forgive me if I offend you. What is the purpose of your visit to our factory this time?" He spoke in Japanese, which surprised Saburo Honda. He did not expect Wang Lidong.
He spoke Japanese so fluently that if he hadn’t known the other person’s identity, he would have thought he was a local from Tokyo, “Wang Sang went to Japan to study?”
"No, I usually watch a lot of movies, so I just learned a few sentences."
Σ(°△°|||)︴
He couldn't answer these words. As a man, Honda Saburo certainly understood the type of film Wang Lidong was talking about. He picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip.
Xiaoyu leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother, when did you learn Japanese? Why didn't I know."
Wang Lidong glared at the secretary, "Why are there so many questions? I didn't see that my teacup was empty."
"If you don't tell me, don't tell me. Why is it so bad?" Xiaoyu muttered a few words in a low voice, stood up and refilled his teacup.
After Saburo Honda put down his tea cup, he mentioned the purpose of his visit and wanted to ask Wang Lidong's factory to produce their company's bearings.
"Can I see your factory's production line?"
"Okay." Wang Lidong brought Honda Saburo to the production workshop. When he walked into the workshop, the first impression he gave was that it was very neat, clean and bright.
Looking at the ups and downs of the robotic arms, I didn't expect that a small factory could actually have a fully automated production line.
Wang Lidong briefly introduced the situation of the factory, "Our flexible production line can produce inner diameters from 1 to 1. The daily output is about 2,800 sets, which is almost 1 million sets of bearings a year. If three shifts are implemented, the output can be doubled.
Last time, the monthly output was about 160,000 sets."
"The output is a bit small." Honda walked to the end of the assembly line, picked up a set of bearings that had just come off the line, and looked at them carefully. In terms of quality, they were almost identical to the samples sent to their company. He turned to look at Wang Lidong and said, "
Wang Sang, I have a heartfelt request."
Since you know it's an unkind invitation, don't say anything!
Wang Lidong extended his hand to signal for permission to speak. Honda Saburo bowed deeply and said, "I brought some bearing steel. Can I use your factory's production line to produce a few sets of bearings?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay." Wang Lidong readily agreed to the sponsor's request and asked his employees to take Honda Saburo's assistant to the feed port.
Half an hour later, Saburo Honda got ten sets of finished products at the end of the assembly line. Wang Lidong said, "We have an inspection room here." He took Saburo Honda to the finished product inspection room. After looking around at the instruments, Xiaori smiled slightly.
Shaking his head, the testing equipment is too old. It is all semi-automatic and the detection accuracy is not good.
Inspector Xiao Ding explained, "Although it is semi-automatic, the test results are not much different from those of fully automatic instruments."
Saburo Honda pointed to the fatigue testing machine, "This machine can only test the normal temperature state. I need to test the operation of the bearing at minus 10c~40c."
The inspector Xiao Ding was still waiting to speak, but Wang Lidong waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to explain anymore. He finally saw that he was afraid that he would do anything in the inspection room. "We have this kind of condition here. Since the head of the Honda Department
If you are not satisfied, you can only find a place to get tested by yourself."
Cousin Shen Jie spat at the car that was driving away, "What the hell? If you don't believe us, just tell us and we'll try hard to find an excuse."
Wang Lidong waved his hand and said, "When doing business, be careful of the Wannian Ship. We will do the same when purchasing parts for Xiaozhi in the future."
He originally thought that it would take a few days before Xiaozhi would call him. Unexpectedly, in the evening, he received a call from Saburo Honda, inviting him to Mingzhu to discuss cooperation matters.
At noon the next day, Wang Lidong arrived at Room 1205 of Hilton Hotel in Pearl Xuhui District.
"Chief Honda, we meet again."
"Wang Sang, please sit down." Honda Saburo warmly greeted him to sit down. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Wang Lidong asked about the test results. Of course, his question was a bit redundant.
If he doesn't pass the test, he won't be called to Mingzhu in his childhood.
"The quality of the bearings meets the requirements of our company." In fact, it is more than compliance. Except for the service life, other indicators far exceed their company's products. Saburo Honda said that the two parties can sign a long-term processing contract, "Wang Sang, our company is willing
We will invest 20 million Sihai coins to acquire 60% of the equity of Tongzhong Bearing Factory, and will invest another 10 million Sihai coins to expand the assembly line and increase bearing production."
20 million, 60% equity?
Secretary Xiaoyu's eyes widened. They bought this factory for less than 2 million, and in less than a month, it had doubled more than ten times.
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Director of Honda Department, I'm sorry, our factory has no intention to introduce investors at the moment. If the factory has any plans in this regard in the future, I will be the first to inform your company."
Refuse so simply?
Saburo Honda frowned slightly, "Wang Sang, are you not satisfied with the factory valuation? How about you make a price?"
Wang Lidong waved his hand and said, "Chief of the Honda Department, I have made it very clear that we have no plans to sell shares for the time being. Let's end this matter here."
Saburo Honda was a little unwilling, but seeing Wang Lidong's resolute attitude, he did not continue. After saying a few words, he expressed that he was feeling a little unwell. Today's negotiation was temporarily over and would continue tomorrow. Before leaving, he bowed and said, "Wang Sang, I
I hope you will consider my suggestion again."
At this time, Wang Lidong's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He said sorry and after getting through, the person on the other end called himself Xiaori Minebea Co., Ltd. They would visit Tongzhong Bearing tomorrow.
Wang Lidong asked, "Chief Kameda, where are you now?"
Kameda Naruhito said, "Wang Sang, we are in Mingzhu now."
"I happen to be in Mingzhu now," Wang Lidong asked the other party's address, which was not far from his current hotel, and made an appointment to meet him in an hour.
After hanging up the phone, he was about to leave, but Saburo Honda stopped him, "Wang Sang, I'm extremely sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your call, but the other party spoke too loudly just now. I'd like to ask, I think I heard him.
Calls itself 'Minebea Co., Ltd.'
Wang Lidong gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, Honda's chief has very good hearing."
Honda said nervously, "Is Minebea and Tongzhong a cooperative relationship?"
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "This time I sent a sample to the top ten bearing companies in your childhood. They should be here to discuss cooperation."
Nani!
People from all over the world are so cunning!
The next day, Wang Lidong signed an OEM agreement with Saburo Honda, stipulating that the Japanese side would provide raw materials and entrust Tongzhong Bearing to process and produce the bearings. The processing fee for each bearing would be 8% of the product guide price, and the payment method would be, per
On the 1st of the month, you pay half of the processing fee for that month’s output. After receiving the goods in the second month, you pay the other half of the processing fee.
My cousin clicked the calculator very fast, and in a short while he roughly calculated the annual income. The two parties signed an OEM contract for 1.5 million sets of bearings, and they can earn approximately 15 million to 18 million."
The cousin hugged him and shouted happily, "Brother, you are rich! You are going to be rich! You will be a multi-millionaire soon!"
Wang Lidong stretched out his hand and pushed his cousin away, "You are so old, you are still a child. I haven't got the money yet, so what's so exciting." However, he still took his two sisters and played in Mingzhu for two days, giving them two
I bought some new clothes and cosmetics as a reward.
"Brother, why don't we stay one more day? We haven't even gone to the disco yet?" the cousin muttered, looking at the buildings passing by.
Wang Lidong rolled his eyes,
"According to what you said, we have never been to the Grand View Garden, Zhujiajiao, and Yuyuan Garden. We have never been to many scenic spots. Should we visit them all and then go back?"
My cousin nodded yes, this is the best.
"Dingling Bell" Wang Lidong's mobile phone rang, he said to the secretary, "Help me see who's phone."
Secretary Xiaoyu picked up the phone and said, "Fu Ge Mo? Why is the name so weird?"
"Help me pick it up and get it hands-free."
Secretary Xiaoyu pressed the connect button, and Fan Shengmei's cry immediately sounded on the phone, "Wang Baichuan, can you lend me some money? My dad is hospitalized and needs 20,000 yuan."
Wang Lidong looked at the road conditions and saw a bus stop not far ahead, "Wait a minute, I'm driving."
He parked the car and took the phone, "Why is your dad hospitalized?"
Fan Shengmei cried, "My dad accidentally fell while walking up the stairs and is currently being rescued. Wang Baichuan, can you lend me 20,000 yuan? I will definitely pay you back in the future."
