1366 Windfalls from the American Market (1)
"Mr. Othello, thank you very much for taking the time to meet me in your busy schedule.▲∴" In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, a middle-aged Chinese man stretched out his rough right hand in fluent English to Othello Simmons Fekrull, head of the General Industry Department of Rockwell International Company, in fluent English.
"Jiang, although it was your sincerity that touched me and I admire your persistence very much, you only have five minutes." Othello said seriously to the middle-aged man in front of him.
Rockwell International Company is headquartered in Pittsburgh. The man from China in front of him has spent more than a year to see him. Although he was rejected every time, he did not give up. Because of this, Othello, who was busy with business and was running around the world, decided to give him a chance.
Although he was not interested in equipment from China, he was also skeptical about the mechanical processing business of China OEM.
Rockwell is one of the few machinery companies in Pittsburgh. Its current main business has been developing towards high-precision and cutting-edge machining. Some businesses with high costs and low profit margins are currently preparing to give up.
This Chinese person said that he brought them a solution that could effectively reduce their costs to the entire Rockwell company.
"Five minutes is enough. Mr. Othello, I am the head of the Northeast Market of the Jiuyi Sales Company, a subsidiary of China Yunshi Holdings Jiuyi Group. Although this title is very long, I believe that you will never regret it when you see me this time." Jiang Muge introduced himself to the capable old man in front of him with a confident face.
"I appreciate your confidence, but a minute has passed." Othello a little confused about what this Chinese means. Didn't he come to sell his machine tools to himself? Although the CNC machine tools used for rough processing in their company are all from Taiwan and Japan, he is not interested in China's backward equipment.
Even so, the Chinese in front of him wasted his time was very unhappy.
This is how the Chinese people are. They have never been able to grasp the key points in their work. Even after the reform and opening up, they have learned from the world for twenty years, but they are still the same.
"Mr. Othello, this time I came to you to really sell our machining equipment, but before that, I hope you can take a look at this cost and profit of your company in general industry. My purpose is not just to promote products to your company. It is to provide solutions for the Ministry of General Industry during the current transformation period of your company." Jiang Muge did not consider it.
In the eyes of these Americans, Chinese are indeed inferior to Japanese and even Taiwanese.
Although Taiwanese are also Chinese, they are still divided into mainland China and Taiwan.
It is really difficult to win the Rockwell business. Although the entire US market is huge for China, the competition is very fierce. He has been in the United States for more than a year and chose his destination in Pittsburgh, the most important industrial city in the United States, in order to start from a high point. Instead of like Taiwanese, he first obtained small orders that did not have much profit through some small companies to gain a foothold in the United States step by step.
Japan's CNC machine tools, Taiwan's CNC machine tools, and even CNC machine tools from many small European countries are very common in the US market.
This country that retains millions of CNC machine tools is a major producer of CNC machine tools and a major consumer of CNC machine tools.
To win more orders, it is obviously not very suitable for the current Jiuyi Group.
"Oh? I never knew. Chinese people are actually more arrogant than Japanese people. Japanese people are arrogant because they have a foundation of arrogance, but when will China still provide advanced industrial solutions to companies like us?" Othello was surprised that the middle-aged Chinese in front of him would be so arrogant.
For him, it was really worth wasting a few minutes to see the arrogant performances of the Chinese.
You know, their industrial automation of Rockwell International has always been something they are proud of.
"Sir, I have another identity. I am very sorry. While serving Yunshi Holdings, I am also responsible for Xinkaixing International, the largest OEM company in China. I think I have enough solutions for you to choose from for you. In this way, at least you will reduce your production costs in the general industrial field by 10%!" Jiang Muge was very smart and did not say that he would solve the current high cost problem of Rockwell in the high-end field.
"Tell me," Othello didn't believe that the Chinese in front of him could help him solve the problem.
But this Chinese successfully impressed him.
"I know you are planning to use automation equipment on a large scale to reduce basic costs, and you also know that your company is planning to sell some companies with poor profitability and close some ordinary machinery factories that are losing money. This is also the reason why I appeared in front of you. In this plan, my suggestions are mainly to help you reduce production costs..." Seeing that Othello had been successfully attracted, Jiang Muge began to talk endlessly about his plan to Othello.
Although Rockwell International is also ranked among the world in the field of mechanical industrial automation, Jiang Muge does not think he cannot sell their intelligent CNC production lines to them.
Although the unmanned workshop production line of Jiuyi Research Institute has not been successful yet, it is completely free of problems for some large batches of regular rough processing. More importantly, once Rockwell's orders can be won, even if it is a very small order, Jiuyi Group will be a hit in the United States.
"Sorry, Mr. Jiang, I have to interrupt you. Although the plan you proposed is very attractive to me, I want to know, are you sure you are not describing the world in science fiction? The automated unmanned voice field is not fully mature in the powerful United States, advanced Germany and Japan!" After hearing Jiang Muge's introduction that CNC unmanned production lines can be used to handle some of their mechanical businesses that cannot be outsourced to China, Othello was really shocked by the Chinese who opened their brains in front of him.
Do Chinese people have such advanced technology?
This is impossible and not scientific.
The most mature automation application technology is not bad in Germany, Japan, and the United States, but it has not reached this level at all.
"Sir, I know that if I had not seen this with my own eyes, no one would believe that such technology would appear, and no one would believe that there would be such technology in the backward China. However, this is a fact. If you have time, I hope to personally show you the achievements of our China in this regard..." Jiang Muge secretly glanced at the watch on his wrist, and saw that twenty minutes had passed, and Othello had no intention of driving him away.
I couldn't help but feel secretly happy and also offered an invitation.
Anyone who sees the unmanned production lines of the Jiuyi Research Institute will be shocked.
"Even if there is, the cost of your company in this regard will exceed our tolerance..." Othello sighed.
The Japanese also meant to provide them with this kind of automatic production line, but it was just a flexible production line. The cost of a production workshop was far exceeding the cost of manpower in ordinary processing workshops. With the sharp decline in profits in this manufacturing industry, most manufacturing companies in Europe and the United States were preparing to outsource some production businesses with low technological content and weak profits to the Chinese market environment. He did not believe that Chinese people would have such kindness.
"The cost issue is not higher than that of your use of manual labor, and we can use a robot to replace three or even more ordinary skilled workers. Of course, I am not saying that you can keep all your business in China. For non-critical parts such as automotive accessories, especially drilling equipment and textile machinery, these non-critical parts are completely manufactured by Xinkaixing Group..." Considering it for customers is something that every business staff must do.
Only in this way can customers trust them more.
Rockwell International is more cautious than other companies in this regard, because many of their businesses are among the top in the world.
Jiang Muge never knew that because Yun Fei flapped his butterfly wings. In 1997, Rockwell was about to sell the automotive parts system department with sales of US$3.1 billion in 1999.
It is precisely because of the sharp increase in labor costs at present that Rockwell International is preparing to transform its company.
It is precisely because of this opportunity that the entire Rockwell Company has the demand for hundreds of CNC equipment for rough processing and parts with low processing accuracy requirements.
Moreover, the entire Rockwell company's position in the aerospace field has given them the same great demand for low-end four-axis machine tools and five-axis linkage machine tools for rough processing.
In this regard, the price of Chinese equipment is much lower than that of similar equipment in Europe, America and Japan.
Jiang Muge adopted a strategy like Tian Ji's horse racing, using their top-level equipment to compete with low-level equipment in Europe, America and Japan. He did not have the company's permission, but he felt that as long as he could win these businesses, the company's relevant leaders would agree, even if the company's relevant leaders disagreed, the boss Yun Fei would agree.
How urgent Yun Fei wants to enter the US market, others don’t know, but he knows it very clearly.
