Chapter 89 Looking for cooperation with foreign companies

Lin Johnson took out his notebook from his bag, turned to a page, and handed it to his father.

Lin Xiangrong took it in confusion, saw the big title above and said, "One Belt, One Province!"

He looked at his son and asked, "What is this?"

Lin Qiangsheng said: "I think our province has a better industrial foundation and a relatively complete industrial system. It is just right for us to rely on the province's industry to establish a large automobile industry cluster with the automobile industry as the link! From the point to the surface, the aggregation effect, we develop technology-intensive enterprises. We will develop our own automobile industry better! It is not impossible, it is very possible!"

Lin Xiangrong nodded and said, "It sounds very interesting! It's a big goal!"

Lin Qiangsheng said to his father in a high voice: "This is called the Belt and Road Initiative. The construction of an industry drives the industry and even the economy of the entire province, and uses the development of the automobile industry to form a strategic industrial structure! Build our own automobile kingdom!"

"As long as we gather the advantages of our province and cleverly leverage the power, the domestic automobile industry will definitely make great progress in a very short period of time!"

Lin Xiangrong lowered his head and looked carefully at the article written by his son. The content was to take advantage of this opportunity to go abroad to see the scale of other automobile companies, imitate the foreign pattern, and build automobile industry bases near the current factory to attract outstanding industrial enterprises in the province to develop together and grow together.

At the same time, during this visit, it is best to find an internationally renowned automobile company to form alliances and cooperate.

Lin Xiangrong asked in confusion: "How to cooperate with foreigners in automobile factories?"

Seeing that the father and son had started chatting, Xu Hongmei got up and went back to the house, took out the water cup she brought, poured it into the water and brought it to her.

Lin Johnson said: "Dad, do you know that our central leadership is seeking to cooperate with famous automobile companies in the world?"

Lin Xiangrong shook his head in confusion and asked, "What's the situation? What have you heard of?"

Lin Qiang-Chengsheng thought for a while and said, "It was probably last year that our country sent invitations to many foreign automobile companies to seek cooperation. The central government hopes to get technology, equipment, and support from foreign funds. Our domestic leaders hope that the automobile industry will keep up with the pace of foreign countries and achieve automated production as what Mr. Deng saw at the Nissan factory, and use high-tech to develop our own automobile industry. The leaders hope to develop the automobile industry into a national key industry!"

Lin Xiangrong said: "This is more difficult! Do foreign automobile companies have any replies?"

Before going abroad, the province also specially distributed a booklet introducing some of the situations of visiting the country. Lin Xiangrong still knew about some famous international companies.

Lin Johnson said: "The relevant domestic departments had contact and negotiations with major automobile groups in the world at that time. Germany's Vaux Automobile was the only company that fully accepted the cooperation conditions proposed by the domestic government."

"The central government's conditions are to transfer technology first and to invest cash. Germany's Vaux Automobile Company accepted such conditions and started negotiations with relevant domestic departments at the end of last year!"

Lin Xiangrong nodded and said, "So that's the case! If you don't tell me, dad doesn't know about such a big thing!"

He looked at Lin Johnson in confusion and asked, "Then how did you know this news?"

Lin Johnson said in a concealment: "I'm going to college! There are people from all over the world in the university, so there are naturally more news!"

Lin Xiangrong nodded and did not pursue the source of his son's news.

He thought for a while and asked, "Since the country needs technology and funds, the tone has been set, how can we talk about it? This condition is so high, can foreigners be able to get along well!"

Lin Qiangsheng clapped and looked at his mother Xu Hongmei. Seeing that his mother was looking at him, he smiled encouragedly at him.

Lin Qiangsheng said to his father with a smile: "This is exactly what I want to say! Technology and capital are too far away for us at present! Our pattern is not as big as the central government, and it is not attractive enough. Then let's take another path!"

Lin Xiangrong asked his son curiously: "The central government has set the tone, what other way can we take?"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "Let's take a path of international division of labor and cooperation!"

Lin Xiangrong picked up the pen, wrote it down, and asked: "What is international division of labor and cooperation? Can we still divide labor and cooperation with foreign countries?"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "Why can't it be? As far as I know, Xiangjiang has strong light industry processing capabilities, especially the clothing and leather shoes processing industry. Many textile companies and shoemaking companies in Xiangjiang produce clothing and leather shoes for some foreign manufacturers. After these products are exported to foreign countries, they are sold with foreign brands. This is called international division of labor and cooperation. Xiangjiang is responsible for producing raw materials and selling them abroad with private labels!"

Lin Xiangrong and Xu Hongmei were extremely surprised. Lin Xiangrong asked in surprise: "There is really such a company? The products produced by themselves cannot be made by their own brand!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said, "There is such a company!"

Xu Hongmei couldn't help asking, "Isn't this? Is it exploitable for foreigners?!" She thought about it and there was really no word to describe her feelings.

Lin Qiangsheng told his mother, saying, "Of course, in the whole process, upstream enterprises inevitably have an advantage! Manufacturers only earn very little processing fees, while foreign companies take advantage of sales and brand advantages to dominate. They make a lot of profits! But this is also impossible. Factory needs to start work and workers have to eat! But even if they earn very low processing fees, the processing industry in Xiangjiang has also developed greatly. The average salary of enterprise workers is 100 times that of our domestic workers! Our domestic workers’ average salary is 20 yuan per month, while other workers in Xiangjiang can earn 2,000 yuan a month!"

Lin Xiangrong was completely shocked. He asked in surprise: "2,000 yuan? You can't say it wrong, right!"

Xu Hongmei also asked in surprise: "2,000 yuan, is it really that much? Your father and I have only more than 140 yuan per month now! No wonder Qiang Dong said that their troops often have tasks to mobilize to round up Hong Kong fleeing people! The Hong Kong fleeing people are just fleeing to Xiangjiang, right? The workers in Xiangjiang can earn 2,000 yuan a month, and we are so different from them!"

Lin Xiangrong looked at Xu Hongmei and said, "Okay, don't talk about this in front of your son! If others find out, they think we are leaking the secrets of the troops!"

Xu Hongmei glared at her husband and said, "What are you afraid of! I can earn 2,000 yuan, but I can't say it!"

Lin Xiangrong waved his hand and continued to ask Lin Johnson: "What you mentioned is that we should also put other people's brands on foreign artificial cars? Who will sell it to? Foreigners?"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, how is that possible! The technical strength and product quality of our factory cannot meet the requirements of Europeans. If you want to sell it to foreigners, you have to go through some adjustments and modifications. We can no longer produce complete vehicles, but we can produce car blanks and spare parts, and then transport them to Europe to assemble foreign power systems, electronic systems and other equipment. This way, we use our low labor cost advantages and divide labor and cooperate with international car manufacturers. We will force our car factory to produce quality and improve our technical strength. Maybe we can really take a path of development of automobile companies with short time and quick results!"

Lin Xiangrong thought for a while, finally sighed and wrote in the book: "The advantage of low labor cost! Division of labor and cooperative production! Forced!"

After discussing, the father and son began to look for suitable automobile companies to seek cooperation. They first selected three companies, Citroen, Logo and Renault in France, and then some other automobile companies in Europe, such as Fiat, Germany's Vaux Automobile, Sweden's Volvo and Saab, and Leland Automobile in the UK.

Among these companies, Johnson Lin is more optimistic about French and British companies. Germans prefer to cooperate with ZF, and they are ambitious to enter China. In any case, this is an important competitor in the future, and it is a long-term one. How could he get along if he doesn't have time to avoid him!

After the discussion, Lin Xiangrong immediately went to Zhou Jianjiang and asked him to help write a letter and invite these manufacturers to discuss cooperation matters.

Lin Johnson looked at his watch and it was almost seven o'clock. He immediately packed up and prepared to set off to find a French girl.

At this time, my mother came over and asked him, "Johnson, what are you doing? Are you discussing what to eat? Where are you going?"

Lin Johnson grabbed a meal order call, then called, and said to his mother: "Mom, I ordered pizza and macaroni, you can eat this! Try these foods that foreigners often eat, so that everyone can eat them as much as possible! Remember my account and I treat you!"

Seeing his son running out in a flash, Xu Hongmei said in confusion: "What kind of pizza mac and macaroni are spending money indiscriminately!"
