"Bazel, you have also seen that our country's current technology is very low, and we don't even have a lot of experimental equipment. This electric furnace is simply not enough for us, so I hope that in the years to come, we can make more
Cooperation can be carried out not only in the smelting industry, but also in other industries."
Xiong Huaizhi said at this time.
"Haha, we are just a cooperative enterprise under the Americans, and we are working on their behalf this time, so you still have to ask the Federation for these things. As long as they allow it, we will naturally do it!"
Bazel said while drinking Maotai.
"Professor Barzel, the Americans are too good at calculating. Take the introduction of the AOD electric furnace as an example. It is obviously a very ordinary piece of equipment, but they obstructed it in every possible way. In the end, they even let you Germans take over. This is simply a lack of trust.
If you look at our country, you will know that the biggest introduction in the past few years is your German Volkswagen. You must know that we wanted to cooperate with General Motors before, but people were afraid, which eventually led to miscarriage. Therefore, Germany is
He is our most trusted friend, there is no doubt about it."
Liu Lang said immediately.
"Well, that's true. Our two countries established diplomatic relations in 1972. You and the United States probably hadn't established diplomatic relations at that time!"
Bazel said.
"China and the United States established diplomatic relations in 1979, a full seven years later!"
Xiong Huaizhi said immediately.
"Let's see, the Americans are indeed not a good thing. They rely on their strong strength to make noises. We, Germany, were separated by powerful countries like them!"
Bazel had experienced the world war that year and was very familiar with the history of that year. Although West Germany and the United States were allies, having said that, those of them who had experienced that period still had a lot of resentment. In addition,
After drinking wine, Bazel didn't care much about what he said.
And the people present were all Germans. Richard and Bazell were in the same company, so they were still Bazell's apprentices. The three ABB staff were all employed by the German government and had nothing to do with the Americans.
, so Bazel is not afraid that his words will spread.
"Professor Barzel, you are absolutely right. This time I went to the United States to participate in the competition. The Americans were very discriminatory against us. I won three championships and they also questioned my results. They also introduced this electric furnace. Two
Politicians all disagree. If it weren’t for the strong support of several professors and scientists, this matter would be a waste. Looking at your country’s actions, the gap between them is clear at a glance. So Professor Barzel, Professor Richard, I will
I would like to express my special thanks to you for your support!”
Liu Lang also raised the wine glass filled with juice and said.
"Okay, okay, I see the future of your country from this little kid like you. Come on, let's have a drink!"
The three of them drank it all in one gulp, and the people around them cheered.
"Professor Barzel, I have an idea. If it can be realized, it can earn a lot of benefits for your company."
Liu Lang spoke again.
"Oh, tell me!"
Bazel put down his wine glass and said.
"Our country has begun reform and opening up, and just this year it allowed individuals to open factories. I believe that many people are now preparing to do something big, but China does not have much advanced technology, whether it is production lines or equipment.
When importing from abroad, Americans are always on guard against us. In fact, in my opinion, this is a wrong behavior because they don’t know that China’s huge market has gradually opened up.
Open, what is the size of the market with a population of one billion? I don’t need to tell you that if someone can come in first, it doesn’t take much, as long as they occupy one-tenth of the market, the value will be immeasurable. Volkswagen is now
They have made plans in advance, and I believe their investment will be rewarded soon. I think your company should also start in advance. As long as it succeeds, there will be a steady stream of wealth!"
Liu Lang quietly turned on the "talking" mode.
The German company where Bazel and Richard work is a medium-sized industrial enterprise in Germany. It mainly produces various machine tools and smelting equipment, and its technology is also top-notch in Germany. If a cooperative relationship is reached with this enterprise, many technologies will be available.
A steady stream of them were obtained by Huaxia University.
"this!"
Richard, who had not spoken much, began to think thoughtfully. Bazel was an old employee of the company and has basically retired now. He was an engineer in the company and was considered a middle-level leader. Germans are very loyal. Once he joins the company,
, especially in industrial enterprises such as factories, basically there will be no job-hopping in their lifetime. Of course, the enterprise also respects their technical personnel very much, and the salary is absolutely no problem, so people like Richard and Bazelle basically
The above is to treat the company as your own home.
Liu Lang's words are very reasonable. Faced with a huge market, no one will be tempted. Whoever enters first will have the upper hand. Everyone knows this truth, but now the Western countries in the world are not interested in China.
I am still skeptical about reform and opening up. After all, the ideology is different. China has been very hostile to so-called capitalism for so many years.
If you invest a large amount of money in it and someone suddenly orders it to take back the state-owned assets, you will really have no place to cry. Therefore, at the national level, Western countries are still in the exploratory stage. It is purely because Volkswagen dares to come in.
Enterprises themselves made a bet, betting that China's path of reform and opening up would not be closed. History has proven that they were right.
Of course, in less than two years, many countries will swarm in like Volkswagen, and what Liu Lang has to do is to erase these two years, at least to shorten the time for industrial technology improvement by two years.
"Our company only produces industrial machine tools and metallurgical equipment. How much can we use?"
Richard seemed to be talking to himself. He was a technician and didn't understand the market. Although he agreed with Liu Lang's words, he thought it was unreliable. Machine tools are not consumables and they cannot be sold even if they are sold hard.
How much!
"Mr. Richard, you are wrong. Let me give you a very simple example. Our country now has a very large demand for electric fans. About 20 to 30 million electric fans will be produced in a year. However, the demand for electric fans is very high."
The quality is so bad that problems occur every now and then. What do you think is the reason for this?"
Liu Lang opened his mouth and said.
"Well, there are many possible problems, but the biggest reason is that the quality of the parts is not up to par, and the dimensions are not precise enough. Long-term operation will cause fatigue damage to the metal and misalignment."
When it comes to technology, Richard, as a technical master, naturally understands it immediately.
"Yes! These two reasons are basically due to poor smelting technology and insufficient precision in manufacturing lathes. Today you have also seen that our most advanced lathes now are just the 20 lathes produced in the early 1950s, which should be on par with the most advanced lathes in the world.
The lathes are three or four generations behind... Just imagine, if our country manufactures electric machines
All fan companies use your company's lathes. How many lathes are needed to produce 20 million electric fans a year? Not only electric fans, but also refrigerators, washing machines, etc., these are not up to standard. What if these companies also
Let’s use your company’s lathes! Haha, by then, I believe it will be no problem to become the number one lathe manager in Germany!”
Liu Lang threw out a huge piece of pie.
Liu Lang is definitely not trying to satisfy his opponent's hunger. Everything he said is true. China's market is so big. Whoever can get in first will make a lot of money. Not only foreign companies, but also domestic entrepreneurs.
, this is the general trend.
"Well, well, you're absolutely right!"
Richard and Bazel nodded repeatedly, yes, that's the truth.
"Liu Lang, I will report it to the company when I get back. I also hope that we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future!"
Richard said on the spot.
"Okay, then I wish our cooperation will last for a long time!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.
Germans, like Chinese, like to talk loudly at the wine table. After a few glasses of wine, the chat box opened up and all kinds of interesting things were told, including the decades-long friendship between Xiong Huaizhi and Bazel.
, and everyone’s “dissatisfaction” with Americans can be said to have a common topic, so everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and the relationship between them became much closer.
