Liu Lang personally took little Andrew to visit the entire factory. He was not very interested in the "Exploration One" and felt that the machine tool was a bit outdated. Of course, the "Exploration One" was outdated in the eyes of little Andrew, but he forgot
I don’t know what the average level of China’s manufacturing industry is. Compared with Germany, it is probably even further than the per capita income of the two countries. But with this “exploration machine”
In terms of the technical content of No. 1 CNC machine tools, the gap between the two countries has been greatly narrowed. It is only about one or two generations behind. According to the speed of industrial development in Germany, this gap will probably take seven or eight years to close.
Of course, if we can catch up, if we place it in China, Andrew thinks it will take at least ten years. Of course, there is no need to worry about the gap of more than ten years.
However, he ignored China's average industrial level. It is a miracle that a CNC machine tool can be born in a country whose industrial level is at least 40 years behind Germany.
It can only be said that Andrew's "political" sensitivity is too low and he is not aware of the essential problems. It is also possible that he has strong feelings for China and hopes that China's industry can develop. This is why Norinco wants to cooperate with them.
An important reason.
Wang Zhendong signed a cooperation agreement with Little Andrew on behalf of Norinco, and the first contract amount was as high as two million US dollars.
Seeing that the two million US dollar contract was awarded, little Andrew was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"Jimmy, you are really rich! Whenever you come to Germany, I will treat you well, take you to sing, and take you to eat our best food!"
"Little Andrew, haven't you ever thought about the possibility that we may have further cooperation plans? For example, can you leave your parts to me? Even further, we can jointly set up a research and development center."
"Oh, let you make the parts? But we have already set up a factory in the south, and the cooperation between us is very pleasant!"
"Little Andrew, I know your factory, but what quality of parts does your factory produce? It's just an ordinary lathe. And you have also seen in our factory that the level of the workers is much higher than them."
, look at this tse-254 bearing, specially used in CNC
The cost of a machine tool is only three US dollars. What is your cost? I'm afraid it's twenty US dollars! Even if shipping and tariffs are added, the cost of our parts is only about six US dollars, which is at least three US dollars cheaper than yours.
Times, if you don’t use parts with such cheap prices, are you a fool?”
What is China's biggest advantage now? It is human resources. The wages alone are more than ten times cheaper than those in Western developed countries. This is why foreign companies want to build factories here, such as clothes, shoes and hats, etc., but the industry is relatively
He said very little, not that the other party didn’t want to, but that the level of industrial manufacturing of domestic workers could not be improved. Back then, Volkswagen
In the past few years of industrialization, a large number of industrial workers have been trained. In addition, the country has invested a lot of money in industrial manufacturing and trained a large number of industrial workers. They still have a very high level, but it is still not high in the eyes of developed countries, and they can only complete some tasks.
The manufacturing of "primary" equipment and high-end parts is still far from adequate. Without the support of industrial workers, it is of course impossible to build a factory.
But Norinco is different. The level of workers in Norinco is far above average. Even if the wages of Norinco workers are high, compared with other domestic companies, there is still a big gap compared with Western developed countries. The per capita salary of Norinco is high.
The monthly salary reached 1,500 RMB, which is about 200 US dollars. That year’s salary was
It is 2,400 U.S. dollars, and the current salary in Germany has reached 21,000 U.S. dollars. This is due to the decline in per capita income after the merger of the two Germanys. If the wage level in West Germany alone is calculated, it is already close to 24,000 U.S. dollars.
, industrial workers will be even higher, reaching 26,000 US dollars, which is basically about ten times that of Norinco.
The labor cost alone is ten times the difference. If it is converted into a component, the price advantage becomes immediately apparent. Even if freight is included, it is much cheaper to ship a component from China to Germany.
This is the same as the country’s current coal price. The price of coal from the country’s own coal mines is higher than
The reason for the price of coal shipped from Europe is that the total number of workers in a large mine with an annual output of one million tons of coal is only a few hundred but less than a thousand. Compared with those large mines in China that often produce over 10,000, or even 100,000, the number of workers is so low.
The difference is dozens of times. This is the advantage of modernization. It cannot be compared by counting the number of people.
Little Andrew was moved by Liu Lang's words, but there was another question. Can the level of these workers really reach the manufacturing standard?
Little Andrew deliberately looked carefully in the factory. He couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it! How come each of these workers had a "unique skill", and their skillful skills and standardized movements were simply better than those in his factory.
Those workers with many years of work experience are even more powerful. This skill should not appear in China’s industrial workers!
Let's look at the standards of the manufactured parts. They are completely in line with German process standards. There may be differences in various parameters, but at least the process level is fine. As long as the required parameters are brought over, it seems that the other party can produce them.
At this time, little Andrew became serious. He did not expect that the level of workers in the Norinco Group was so high.
"Jimmy, how did these workers get trained? Is it the Soviet guy? No, that guy is dizzy himself. He is not that high level... Weird, too weird, shouldn't it be?"
The technical level of workers is a kind of inheritance. First, it is the inheritance of masters, and second, it is the inheritance of the general environment. Only countries and regions with high industrial levels can produce high-level industrial workers. In the view of little Andrew, these two are important in China.
Unless a large number of industrial workers are poached from abroad to teach them the skills step by step, this is not the case from the skills of these workers, because their craftsmanship is more delicate, and in some places even better than his workers. Is it possible?
Are you an islander?
"Mr. Andrew, don't think too much. How about the cooperation we talked about? Do you have any ideas?"
The conversation between the two was casual and did not feel like a formal meeting. After all, they were both "top leaders" and as long as they agreed to the matter, it would be done.
"I have to calculate the cost carefully. Jimmy, please give me the quotation of this feq-133. Duhan, please calculate for me how much it will cost to get this price to our factory?"
Little Andrew asked an attendant to make an accurate calculation.
"What does such a simple calculation mean? I tell you...!"
Liu Lang talked about the numbers and finally came up with a result: the total cost of this component after getting it to Germany was US$5.5, while in Germany it was US$27.8, a difference of five times.
Du Han was sweating profusely, and the translator next to him was talking with the cost sheet. Then Du Han kept calculating with a calculator. After more than 20 minutes, he finally calculated the result, which was exactly the same as Liu Lang's.
