Hearing Feng Xiaochen's complaint, Feng Shuyi couldn't help but slapped his arm. The German woman was so strong that although Feng Shuyi slapped her a little at the last moment, she still slapped Feng Xiaochen so much that she howled.

"Auntie, why are you still beating someone?" Feng Xiaochen escaped two steps and protested with his arms covering his arms.

"You are so greedy. How do you say it in Chinese? It's called "people's hearts are not enough..." Feng Shuyi scolded.

"The human heart is not enough to swallow an elephant." Yang Haifan smiled and completed this common saying for her.

Feng Xiaochen also grinned. Feng Shuyi was right. A second-hand gear hobbing machine worth $5,000 is indeed cheap. He is still raising the price of scrap steel, which is really unauthentic.

In fact, Germans are not stupid, so they don’t know the value of second-hand equipment. A second-hand gear hob machine can be used after renovation. If you find a suitable buyer, you can definitely sell it at a price of 30,000 to 50,000 US dollars. The reason why I offered Feng Shuyi 5,000 is that all the scrap steel was sold together. In addition to machine tools, a scrap factory also has a large amount of other scrap steel, such as the steel structure of the workshop, the production of backlog of scrap materials over the years, and those scrap equipment that have no renovation value. It is very troublesome to dismantle and transport it.

Germany has high labor costs, high environmental protection requirements, and the cost of disposing of scrap steel is not low. If you can find a company and are willing to take all these troubles, the original owner would not mind selling the used equipment at a low price, so you have to hire people to work locally. It is only a theoretical possibility that an old equipment can be sold for 30,000 to 50,000 US dollars. It is not easy to find a suitable buyer. In this sense, packaged sales are the best choice.

Feng Shuyi is a lawyer and has taken over some business such as property transfer in industrial enterprises in the past, and has some knowledge of this. This time, Feng Xiaochen originally asked her to help with the purchase of second-hand equipment, but she was scheming and did not directly talk about buying second-hand equipment. Instead, she claimed that her nephew was here to purchase scrap steel, and directly pulled the other party's psychological bottom line to the price of scrap steel, and then negotiated with the other party on this basis.

This company, called Hagen Brothers, is a machinery manufacturing company with a history of more than 60 years ago. It went bankrupt for various reasons two years ago. The company's last Hagen president was determined to find a next company to sell the company's old equipment so that it can use the money to retire in the countryside. But now Europe is in the period of transformation of manufacturing, and traditional manufacturing has declined. The production process and processes of new manufacturing industries are different from traditional manufacturing. It is difficult to find a buyer of Hagen's old equipment, unless it is sold as scrap steel to a metal recycling company, but in this way, the price will not be sold.

After Feng Shuyi found the intermediary after learning about this situation, he mediated between the two parties. Finally, the transaction price of all equipment and scrap iron in the entire factory was US$1.8 million. The buyer also had to bear the additional cost of dismantling all equipment and steel structures and disposing of all the scraps.

“1.8 million US dollars, that’s worth.”

After taking the equipment list handed to him by Feng Shuyi, looking at the equipment models, technical parameters, service life and other information on it, Feng Xiaochen felt like he was hit by a pie that fell from the sky. This was not a pie, but a pie that could be bought for $1.8 million, and it was a sea of ​​pies.

A high-precision horizontal lathe, even if it is a second-hand one, can be worth at least 100,000 US dollars, and the quote here is only 10,000 US dollars; an outer cylindrical grinder is worth 10,000 US dollars, while the quote here is only 1,500 US dollars. As for the accessories on the machine tools, such as fixtures, measuring tools, etc., they are all packaged and priced. After sharing, a caliper is only a few dollars. Can the caliper used in German factories be the kind of copycat sold in the Jinnan market? Even if it is a second-hand caliper, it is also a German caliper. I just don’t know if it will attach a few oil paper bags.

"Aunt, you are so great. The 1.8 million is worth spending!"

Feng Xiaochen almost had the urge to hold his aunt and kiss her. Unfortunately, the Chinese were still more implicit. He really couldn't do such a move, although Feng Shuyi would flirt with him a few times when she had nothing to do.

Feng Shuyi smiled proudly. She had known that this business would definitely satisfy Feng Xiaochen. She deliberately did not discuss it with Feng Xiaochen in advance, and wanted to surprise him. When it comes to the acquisition of second-hand mechanical equipment, of course, it was not something that Feng Shuyi, the lawyer, could have decided. During the negotiation process, she found several friends who were familiar with it to help. In the end, even Yan Leqin took the initiative to fully evaluate the value of various equipment and referenced the transaction status of second-hand equipment in the European market. The final price was somewhat distressing for Lao Hagen, but he also knew that it would be difficult for him to find such a good buyer again. Some buyers may be willing to pay a high price to buy one or two of them, but if they want to sell for $1.8 million, he probably has to wait for ten or eight years.

"The problem now is that you have to find someone to dismantle these equipment, especially the original workshop and the scrap steel removed, so that Old Hagen can sell the factory land. I have asked someone to evaluate that it takes 40 workers three months to dismantle these equipment, and the labor cost is estimated to be $200,000."

Feng Shuyi calmly reminded Feng Xiaochen.

"40 workers need 200,000 US dollars in three months? So expensive?" Yang Haifan said in a lost voice. He was a manager and was very good at calculating labor costs. He thought that based on the salary standard of 80 yuan per person per month, 40 people only need 10,000 RMB in three months, why does it cost 200,000 US dollars in Germany?

"This is the minimum price, because dismantling these factories is heavy manual labor, and the wage standard is very high." Feng Shuyi said, "In addition to labor costs, various construction equipment also need to be rented. A rough calculation also requires more than 50,000 US dollars."

"Isn't it just to demolish a few factories? Is it necessary to use construction equipment?" Yang Haifan said unangrily, "If I were in China, I would just find a engineering team, and I wouldn't need any equipment. I would finish it in one month, and I wouldn't have that much money."

"But you are in Germany, and the labor cost in Germany is very high." Feng Shuyi said.

"What if we send an engineering team from China?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"Send engineering teams from China?" Feng Shuyi was stunned, "Xiaochen, aren't you kidding me? Is it so far, send engineering teams here?"

When Feng Xiaochen said this, he actually didn't have any brains. He just said something angry because he was not angry about Germany's high labor costs. When Feng Shuyi asked, he thought about it seriously. After thinking for a while, a smile appeared on his face and said:

"This is really a good idea. Sending 20 workers from China, plus the round trip costs, is probably cheaper than hiring people in Germany. You just said that it would take 40 people to work for three months. I guess if it was a Chinese worker, 20 people would be done in two months."

"It's entirely possible." Yang Haifan echoed, "When Peman was in Tongchuan, he told me that our workers work much harder than German workers. Germans do 3 days of work, and Chinese people finish it in one day. If you find 20 people from China, each person will be given 200 yuan a month, and less than 10,000 yuan in two months. Including the living expenses in Germany, the round-trip travel expenses are enough, up to 30,000 US dollars."

Feng Shuyi looked at Feng Xiaochen, then Yang Haifan, and said, "You really plan to send workers from China?"

"Must!" Feng Xiaochen had already figured out everything. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it would be more appropriate to send people from China. Labor cost was only one aspect he considered, and another important factor was the difference in work attitude. Since an old German factory was to be dismantled, any valuable thing had to be recycled. For example, old cables, electrical switches, needles, threads, etc. in the workshop could be used when transported back to China. When Chinese workers saw these things, they would definitely treat them as treasures and be careful and careless. If they were rich German workers, they would probably not have this mentality.

"But, if you have to send workers here, how to solve the visa problem?" Yang Haifan began to think about the operational problem. In China nowadays, going abroad is a very big thing. Of course, there are also things to sending workers abroad, but they are all organized by the state, and Yang Haifan really doesn't know how to do it.

Feng Shuyi is more familiar with this issue. She thought for a while and said, "This is not difficult. We can do this in the name of Philo. That is, Philo needs to use a group of experienced engineers to acquire Hagen, and these personnel will be hired from China. With Philo's invitation letter, it will be easier to find a German consulate in China to apply for a visa."

"Okay, that's it!" Feng Xiaochen nodded and responded.

"If that's the case..." Yang Haifan said halfway, looked at Feng Shuyi, and swallowed the following words back.

Feng Shuyi said in surprise: "Mr. Yang, do you have any problems?"

Yang Haifan smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just thinking just now that we sent workers and spent so much travel, can we...?"

Feng Shuyi suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing, saying, "Haha, do you want to say that I hope I will contact you a few more old companies and let your workers remove them and transport them back to China?"

Yang Haifan's face turned a little red and said, "Madam Feng, I know this requirement is a bit too much, but..."
