Chapter 300 Negotiating companies go out
Lin Johnson told Eriksson and others about his plan, and then he made a long-distance call to Lin Xiang in Bincheng.
Recently, it is the year-end summary and factory recruitment. Lin Xiang is busy as the company's president, especially this year, preparing to add a new transmission production line to solve the supply and demand contradiction of the mq200 transmission. Then it is the automobile manufacturing plan that Lin Johnson wants to start. The company will recruit up to 2,000 workers in installments, financial annual reports, New Year's plans, personnel induction training, etc., which made Lin Xiang a little overwhelmed.
Lin Johnson looked at his watch and it was already eight o'clock in the evening. It was almost eight o'clock in the morning in China. Lin Johnson called Lin Xiang's office.
"What, you want to acquire those companies in the industrial new district, why? Aren't they good?" Lin Xiang asked in confusion.
Lin Johnson said: "You have read Eriksson and their reports, right? In order to improve the company's product quality and competitiveness, I think controlling upstream and downstream companies to participate in the formulation of standards for every spare parts, and allowing us to master every link of product production by ourselves is the most feasible method now!"
"But, in this way, it will be difficult for the company to allocate manpower, and it will be difficult for me to transfer the right people to manage these companies!" Lin Xiang said to his younger brother with some headaches: "And if you want to acquire these companies, will the superior departments of these companies be willing to let you acquire them? Will Binqi and Harbin Automobile have any objections? Will it interfere?"
Lin Qiangsheng thought for a while and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry about this! As long as I take out real dollars and then understand the interests of the Bincheng government, I believe the superior departments of these companies will agree! As for the opinions of Binqi and Harbin Automobile, you can actually rest assured that the ownership of those companies has little to do with them!"
"How do you understand the interests of the government? And are they really not very related to Binqi and Harbin Automobile?" Lin Xiang asked inexplicably.
Lin Johnson smiled mysteriously and said to Lin Xiang on the other end of the phone: "I will send someone to talk to Bincheng. If you arrange these people at that time, they will arrive in about half a month."
"Aren't you coming back?" Lin Xiang asked his younger brother.
"I'm still going to stay in the United States for a while. According to intelligence, Intel will release a new processor in February, and a strong competitor in computers will release a new computer in the near future!" Lin Johnson said.
"Oh. It seems that I'm in trouble!" Lin Xiang heard two unhealthy news. She knew that the American semiconductor laboratory had just developed a chip at the end of December last year. Lin Lanying from Bincheng Electronics Base immediately led the team to copy it. They successfully made cloned chips with the same performance as American laboratories.
The country also attaches great importance to this achievement. The leader of Wanli of the Computer Leadership Group also personally brought experts from Beijing to Bincheng.
"Oh, then you go and do it!" Lin Xiang originally thought that her younger brother would come back as soon as possible, but she was about to prepare for marriage after the Spring Festival, but she didn't want Lin Johnson to be as busy in the United States.
"Okay, thank you sister!" Lin Johnson said a few more words to Lin Xiang and hung up the phone.
The next day, Lin Johnson met with a negotiation company and issued a commission contract to them. The negotiation company named Dawson is Lin Johnson's long-term partner. He took on many cooperation cases and knew Lin Johnson's client very well.
Bain served as the chief negotiating consultant of the negotiation company as the executor of the case. Within a few days after signing a contract, Bain led seven Americans and one Taipei to Hong Kong. They would have a Hong Kong translator, and then waited for seven or eight days and boarded China Southern Airlines flight, flew to the capital and then traveled thousands of miles to Bincheng.
Bain sent a visit letter to the H Provincial Government on behalf of an American company. The H Provincial Government received a letter of visit from the Americans and attached great importance to it and personally sent provincial and municipal leaders to the airport to pick them up. When Bain and his group got off the plane, they saw a large number of Chinese officials and a row of students wearing white shirts and red scarves.
"Mr. Bain, welcome!" The temperature was low, but the provincial and municipal leaders and translators who were greeting them were not afraid of the cold. When they saw Bain and his group arrive, they immediately smiled kindly.
Although reform and opening up have been two years, H Province's foreign exchange work is still in a relatively passive stage. As an inland province, here is not as active as a coastal province, and there is no investment from Hong Kong and Macao compatriots.
In recent years, the country has developed three to one and one to supplement trade. Coastal provinces and economic development zones have tasted the sweetness, but inland provinces can only provide cheap resources as raw materials production sites. It is not easy to come to a foreign guest, and the number of visits received by the province is very limited. It is no wonder they are so enthusiastic.
"Oh God, poor child!" Bain shook hands with the officials politely and took the flowers that the child brought. Seeing the little girl's face red from the cold, he quickly took off the scarf and put it around.
The little girl got a scarf. She looked at the foreigner in front of her curiously with big eyes, and then smiled happily.
"Mr. Bain, what are the main aspects of visiting our province this time?" the translator asked Bain.
Bain was prepared and said: "This time we came to see the industrial achievements of Bincheng. Our Kangcaien Company came to China this time to see if there is any possibility of joint cooperation between the two parties in industrial manufacturing!"
"On behalf of the provincial party committee and government, I welcome all the guests of Kangcaien Company. Please!" The translator said a few words to the provincial leaders and then said enthusiastically to the Americans.
Bain nodded and smiled and said a few words to his companions. Then they got into the car and the group went directly to the Northern Building to attend the welcome party.
For two days, Bain and his group were completely lost by the reception from the province and the city. It was not until the third day that they were led by the provincial foreign affairs department to visit the Industrial New District.
The first one to visit was Bincheng Automobile Company. As the Binqi Group, which rose after the reform and opening up, is the best place to show publicity to foreign investors. Whether Binqi is willing or not, they must cooperate with the provincial work.
At this time, Binqi's general manager Li Gang had been transferred back to FAW as the factory director, and Binqi's general manager was Geng Shaojie.
Bain and others visited this company that was said to have achieved remarkable results. They were very surprised to find that this place was no less than that of European and American auto manufacturers. There are advanced production lines and advanced models here, and the automobile production department here has actually realized CNC automation.
Nickel raised his glasses and shouted in surprise: "Look, what did we see? It was actually a robot welding production line!"
With his screams, these foreigners also saw the huge robotic arms that were automatically running and the slowly moving frame. The electric sparks shone and the robotic arms waving, and the Americans' expressions became shocked and suspicious. Many people hurriedly took out the camera and wanted to take pictures.
At this time, a white woman with golden brown hair and brown eyes walked up to them. The girl looked at these Americans in surprise, and several Americans looked at the white girl in front of her in shock.
The white girl was wearing a grayish-white work clothes, and she was sure that she was a staff member here, which made Americans most confused!
The white girl said to a group of Americans in English that is fluent but obviously has a Latin accent: "Gentlemen, photography is prohibited in the factory!"
"Hi, what did we see, a white girl! This is even more amazing than seeing robot processing equipment in a magical Oriental factory!" A young man in the tour group said with a smile.
"Hi! Gentlemen, I think you shouldn't be too presumptuous here. Please respect the rules here, okay?" The white girl frowned, and she held her work hat and looked at the Americans in front of her with contempt. Yes, Elena had already distinguished the origin of these people from the rude words and deeds of the people in front of her.
Just as the foreign affairs officers were about to intervene, Bain interrupted his subordinates' teasing at the right time. He apologized to the white girl in front of him: "Miss, please forgive my companion's presumptuousness. They rarely relax in a strange environment in a foreign land."
Bain's companions smiled awkwardly and restrained their smiles. As Bain said, anyone who went to a strange and mysterious country would be a little nervous and excited.
Seeing Elena nodding and accepting his apology, Bain asked, "My name is Bain!" He smiled and stretched out his hand.
Ailena smiled on her face and happily reached out her hand to shake him. After all, it was still very friendly to meet Bain and his group who were both white in China. Ailena was very happy.
"Eilena, Italian! Are you from the United States?" Eilena asked curiously.
Bain nodded and said, "Yes, we come from the United States. Ah, those two Asians are not, one is Taiwan and the other is Hong Kong!"
"Eilena, why are you in China? It seems you are working here?" Bain asked the girl in front of him in confusion.
Eilena smiled softly and said, "Yes, I was hired by a company to supervise the production management of this company. Not only me is here, but there are many other sisters!"
"Oh, that's it!" Bain looked around. The seemingly mysterious China was not as closed and backward as the public imagined. The welding robot production line and the Italian girl in front of them shocked them, Americans!
Chapter completed!
