Liu Lang's visit to the capital this time was actually to meet his two old friends Stern and Knight. There was nothing else. However, there was a joke among the senior officials that where Liu Lang was present, something would happen.
Lang also felt this way, just like this time, he had already bought a ticket to go home, but Jiang Botao found him.
The Ministry of Industry is organizing a group of domestic industrial experts to go to West Germany to inspect their industrial system. This time the scale is not small. Jiang Botao will personally lead the team. Of course he hopes that Liu Lang, a top expert in the country's industrial sector, will go with them. Of course, he
He didn't ask Liu Lang in the form of orders. He had no control over what Liu Lang did.
Of course Liu Lang had to participate in this matter. West Germany's industrial level was second only to the United States. Being able to go and inspect it was also a good opportunity to improve himself. Liu Lang immediately agreed, but he had a request to give himself four places. These four
One spot is reserved for Professor Xiong, Chen Wei and others.
Professor Xiong's level is absolutely top-notch in the country, but he has retired now and spends most of the year in Fucheng. His physical strength cannot support him to work by himself, but his experience is still incomparable to those of Chen Wei.
, especially in certain technical details.
The old man has great ambitions. Professor Xiong’s greatest hope in his life is naturally to revitalize the country’s industrial undertakings, and to learn the world’s top technologies. He once had this opportunity, but he gave up this opportunity for the sake of the country’s industrial undertakings.
This time is a good opportunity, and Germany was the place where he studied more than fifty years ago. He was young and frivolous there, so Liu Lang wanted to bring Professor Xiong with him.
There were not many four places, so Jiang Botao immediately agreed. He was also very happy to see Liu Lang participating. Everyone knew that Liu Lang had a photographic memory and could even analyze the superpowers of craftsmanship through various data. This time he went to the West
Germany and the others are going to visit some companies, including Volkswagen. The technology there is no less than that of the United States. Of course, Volkswagen will never give some top technologies to Liu Lang at high speed, but as long as they visit, maybe Liu Lang can learn from the other party.
You can't tell if you can secretly learn high technology there.
The visit to West Germany will be in January, and there is still more than a month left. The Ministry of Industry will handle the visa matter. Liu Lang returned to Fucheng and told Professor Xiong and Chen Wei about it.
Of course they are happy to see advanced foreign technology.
In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day of 1989 is coming, and a year has passed so quickly. There seems to be not much movement in Fucheng this year, but a lot of things still happened silently. There are already three companies around the North Industrial Group
When enterprises settled in, Jinling Machine Tool Branch Factory, Shenbei No. 4 Machine Tool Factory and Shenbei No. 3 Machine Tool Factory set up branch factories in Fucheng, and the latter two simply moved here.
There is no problem with the two factories in Shenbei City. They are companies that are about to go bankrupt. The factory director was unwilling to take the contract. They have become a burden to Shenbei City. No one will stop them from leaving Shenbei. But Jinling Machine Tool Factory is different. They are
Key enterprises in Jinling City,
There are more than a thousand workers and more than two million yuan in taxes a year. Of course, Jinling City will not give up easily. Even if the Ministry of Industry orders them, they will come up with all kinds of excuses. Besides, Jinling is too far from Fucheng and the entire city will be relocated.
It is a huge project that is simply impossible to achieve.
Factory director Wu Lide made an important decision to learn high technology from Liu Lang. He resigned from the position of director of Jinling Machine Tool Factory and became a branch factory. Then he brought his son Wu Changyou to Fucheng, determined to
Start over here.
That's right, the Jinling Machine Tool Factory's Fuxin Branch originally had only two employees, and it was just the two of them who didn't bring any equipment.
It is obvious that Wu Lide broke up with the Jinling Machine Tool Factory. His original intention was good. He could learn the best industrial technology from Liu Lang, but the relocation of the factory involved all aspects. A small factory was okay, and a company with thousands of people
Unless it is ordered by the state, the possibility of a large factory relocating to another location is basically zero, so it has been met with opposition.
Yes, it's normal, but Wu Lide is a stubborn old man, and the road he's looking for is all the way to the dark side. Since others won't follow me, I will go alone. By the way, I also called his second son.
Because this son is not married yet and has no family to take care of him. His eldest son also works in the factory. He has a wife and children and of course he does not want to come with him.
Fortunately, the Jinling Machinery Bureau took good care of Wu Lide. Of course, they also knew that Liu Lang was very capable, and you could really learn from him by following him. Although they had a serious dispute with Wu Lide, they still agreed to establish a branch factory in Fucheng.
They didn't give any equipment or anything like that, but they gave Wu Lide 50,000 yuan and asked him to make the preparations on his own.
Liu Lang was a bit dumbfounded when he learned about the farce between Wu Lide and Jinling Machinery Bureau. He had no extravagant hopes for such a thing. When he proposed the Fengtian model, it was mainly for Fucheng's own companies, and companies in Northern Liaoning Province could also refer to it. As for
It is said that it is basically impossible for foreign companies to relocate because it is too difficult to relocate. Even if the upper management approves it, workers will complain.
Besides, Liu Lang’s so-called Fengtian model does not mean relying on the big tree of Norinco, as long as there is one pillar enterprise. It is an industrial chain model. Wu Lide was determined and had to go to Fucheng. As a result,
He became a loner.
Wu Lide took his second son to Fucheng in June. He held his breath and determined to open up this branch factory. He took 50,000 yuan in his hand to buy land and equipment.
Ten thousand yuan is a lot of money in this era, but he is engaged in industry, so how can this little money be enough? It can only buy a few acres of industrial land.
Of course, Liu Lang couldn't watch Wu Lide fight alone. He came here for himself, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't express it, so he gave him all the useless equipment in his factory for free, and then took out 100,000 yuan as a
To start his own business, Wu Lide had to recruit workers, right? Wu Lide had a very high vision and looked down on the local workers, so he went to Fucheng Mining College to recruit college students. July happened to be the month for college students.
When he graduated, of course, in this era, college students were uniformly assigned jobs, which also involved the allocation of the city's personnel department. Fortunately, Liu Lang supported him, greeted Song Lifeng, and finally assigned eleven college students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering to
He was assigned to the Jinling Machine Tool Factory. As for the factory building, Liu Lang helped him build it with money. It was just a two-story building and a factory building of more than 300 square meters, which cost more than 300,000 yuan.
The Jinling Machine Tool Branch Factory and the factory building together with the land cost a total of more than 500,000 yuan. Liu Lang paid more than 400,000 yuan out of his own pocket, so this factory can be regarded as Liu Lang's factory. Wu Lide was also very embarrassed. He promised to use the money in the future.
