Chapter 288: Adhere to the principle of quality first

Chapter 289 Adhere to the principle of quality first

Before arriving in China, Dampier's idea was just an idea. After arriving in China, he discovered that the Chinese people are so honest that if they don't bully, they would be sorry for their white skin.

Just because he is a foreigner, he enjoys the most noble treatment on any occasion.

Although governors in the United States will put on a show in front of voters before running for elections, it is very difficult for a gangster like Dampier to get the governor to shake his hand, let alone expect the governor to come and toast to him.

But when he arrived in China, there were so many governor-level officials who shook hands with him politely and called him "Mr. Dampier" one after another.

As for the lower-ranking officials, they were completely humble in front of him. Whenever he coughed, someone would come up to him and ask him if he wanted to drink water or if he wanted to see a doctor.

With such a foreshadowing, he would of course have to reconsider the conditions Valance told him:

Is it necessary to make so many concessions to China?

Wouldn’t it be nice to keep some conditions in exchange for more benefits?

The reason why Valance is eager to enter into a joint venture with the Chinese side is that he wants to take over the production of Canghua Science and Technology's vitamin C device. The cost of that device is about 20 million US dollars. It is a timely rain for the Odin factory and can save the company.

The factory is in water and fire.

The Odin factory has lost a lot of workers, and the existing manpower cannot bear so many production tasks. Therefore, Valance needs to form a joint venture with the Chinese side in order to use the 500 workers of Maolin Chemical Machinery Factory.

When Gao Fan discussed this matter with Valance, he proposed that some high-end manufacturing tasks need to be transferred to China and completed by Chinese workers. Valance did not mind this.

But Dampier has his own ideas. He knows that high-end manufacturing tasks are the more profitable part. If Chinese workers can only undertake low-end tasks, including some parts with low machining accuracy and rough machining of some high-precision parts,

link, it can reduce the labor hours that should be allocated to the Chinese side, leaving more profits for the U.S. side.

He also further thought that since the two parties have established a joint venture, the future business will not only be the vitamin C device, but also other projects. If we want to occupy the excess profits for a long time, we cannot let Chinese workers control high-end production

Skill.

During the inspection of Maohua Machinery, he let out a little bit, and he also wanted to test China's bottom line. Now he found that China is still very sensitive to this matter, at least the deputy director named Xu insisted on it.

Don't let go of this matter.

However, there is good news. He found that the Chinese personnel were not of the same mind. Some officials did not care about technical matters, and some officials only cared about their image in the minds of "foreigners". Everything was based on the principle of satisfying him.

.

If these people have other extravagant hopes, it is that in addition to satisfying him, it is best to win his appreciation. For example, he accidentally said "Very_Good" to the young Chinese official named Wu Yawei.

, the boy was so happy that he couldn't even find the north.

After analyzing all this clearly, Dampier no longer feared the intimidation of Xu Ying and Yang Jinglin. He smiled and said nothing, only looking at Zhu Nian, who was also the deputy director, and waited for Zhu Nian to rescue him.

Sure enough, seeing the foreign guests being silenced by Xu Ying, Zhu Nianqian coughed, turned to Xu Ying and said:

"Director Xu, Director Liang, and Chief Engineer Yang, can you compromise on the issues you just discussed? In terms of industrial development, American experts must have more experience than us.

"Mr. Dampier did not say that our workers will not be trained. The differences between you two may still be on the training methods and the time required. This issue is not a matter of principle, right? Do you think so?"

Knowing that the New Year wish was to smooth things over, Xu Ying certainly couldn't just choke. After all, if Chinese people quarreled with each other, it would be a joke to the foreign guests. Isn't this considered embarrassing?

She lowered her voice and said to Zhu Nian: "Director Zhu, this matter is still very important to our Department of Chemical Industry. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a matter of principle. When we introduce the Aoding Factory, we mainly want to introduce it to the Aoding Factory.

Learn their advanced production technology to improve our own technical level.

"If the parts involving high-end manufacturing, such as CNC machining, stainless steel argon arc welding process, and precision casting technology, are all undertaken by workers sent from the Odin factory, then we will be no different from the past.

.”

"Mr. Dampier didn't say that, right?" Zhu Nian said, "He just said that learning these technologies requires a process and cannot be achieved overnight. I don't know much about industry, but I think that when it comes to such high-end manufacturing tasks,

, we must still adhere to the principle of quality first. If the workers’ skills are not up to standard, would it not be very responsible to force them to work?”

Xu Ying didn't know how to explain it.

Strictly speaking, there is no obvious flaw in Dampier's opinion. They did not say that Chinese workers cannot work, they just said that they need to be trained and qualified before they can operate. This principle makes sense no matter where you talk about it, Xu

Ying himself did not dare to say that training was unnecessary.

The problem is that if the progress of training and the time point for Chinese workers to take up their jobs are not stipulated, the Odin factory can delay indefinitely. During this period, Maohua Machinery will become a company that instigates the Odin factory.

Xu Ying is not particularly concerned about profit distribution. In fact, state-owned enterprises in this era do not have the consciousness of grabbing excess profits. Profits are calculated based on working hours, rather than saying that you can earn more if you can.

What Xu Ying cares about is that through this joint venture, Mao Chemical Machinery can comprehensively improve its technical level and be able to undertake higher-end chemical equipment manufacturing business. This is an instinctive obsession of officials in the industrial authorities.

If she had not heard what Dampier said at Maohua Machinery, Xu Ying would not have thought of being so serious in the contract. The two parties had a pleasant conversation before, and Xu Ying believed that after the joint venture, Odin Factory would become the major shareholder with 49% of the shares.

, will be very active in helping train Chinese workers.

But Dampier's performance made her feel some danger. Yes, there are honest uncles like Valance and unscrupulous gangsters like Dampier in the United States. If things involving China's interests are not clearly stipulated in the contract, what if?

If the other party plays some tricks in the future, I will be passive.

Now it seems that my worries are justified. No, before the contract is signed, Dampier is already playing tricks.
