Huashi Machinery needs to transform. Not only do they need to transform, but after the country focuses on economic construction, military expenditures have dropped significantly, and a large number of military industry companies are in trouble, facing the problem of military-to-civilian conversion.
Not to mention that there are still so many state-owned factories in the local area that are in urgent need of reform.
Huashi Machinery, which was recently transferred to Shancheng, found it difficult to compete with those "biological sons" of Shancheng. It could only rely on old relationships and itself.
After repeated research and combined with Huashi Machinery's own situation, Luo Fuqiang and his team believed that switching to heavy truck production was the best choice.
Firstly, heavy trucks are an important means of production that is urgently needed by the country, and there is no need to worry about sales. Secondly, switching to heavy truck production will not require a big change in the workforce and most of the machinery and equipment for Huashi Machinery, which is more relevant.
However, after some investigation and research, Luo Fuqiang found that switching to heavy truck production was not easy. Currently, there are only a few domestic heavy truck factories. The problem lies in technology.
It is not impossible for Huashi Machinery to switch to heavy-duty truck production, but it will require sustained investment over a long period of time.
Starting from scratch requires a lot of time and money.
This does not meet the requirements of Huashi Machinery Factory to get out of trouble by switching production as soon as possible. Luo Fuqiang's psychological price is two years. If it cannot be mass-produced and launched on the market for more than two years, no matter how good the project is, it will not save Huashi Machinery.
The only way is to take shortcuts and buy technology and production lines.
Finally, after inspecting the Long March Automobile Factory, they got the news that purchasing the production line directly could greatly shorten the time. Just as the ministry was organizing representatives from major manufacturers to form a trade delegation to come to Eastern Europe, Luo Fuqiang found the original leader and persuaded him to come.
Got a spot.
This is the reason why Huashi Machinery appeared in the Czech Republic.
However, when Luo Fuqiang learned that Taituo's heavy-duty truck production line was going to be auctioned, and he couldn't come up with the starting price alone, he immediately gave up.
However, on the day of the auction, he saw Yao Yuan and his group, and Wu Ning, who he had interacted with several times before, and that's what happened next.
At this time, Yao Yuan asked directly, and Luo Fuqiang stopped hiding it. He said, "Yes, Mr. Yao, Wu Ning said that your factory has no plans to develop in the direction of heavy truck manufacturing. It is better to drag Tai Tai."
Give me your heavy truck production line. On behalf of the more than 5,000 employees of Huashi Machinery Factory, I would like to thank you."
"No problem, the relevant technology can also be transferred to you." Yao Yuan agreed with a smile.
Lu Sen was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. Jiang Yong didn't care about this at all.
The people on Luo Fuqiang's side suddenly smiled. They didn't expect things to be so easy to talk about. It shows that Yao always has a sense of responsibility and has a spirit of selfless dedication...
"Mr. Yao, thank you. On behalf of the more than 5,000 employees of Huashi Machinery Factory..." Luo Fuqiang was very steady, as if this was in line with common sense and this was how things should be.
Yao Yuan shook his head and waved his hands, interrupted and said, "Director Luo, don't be anxious yet."
Lu Sen stood up and handed over a document tacitly.
Yao Yuan took the document and said, "This is the purchase contract, which includes the transfer fee for Taituo's heavy-duty truck production line and related technology. The related technology includes heavy-duty truck technology for several car series and more than a dozen models. How much did I pay for it?
, just sell it to Huashi Machinery for how much, and I won’t make a penny.”
"Mr. Yao..." Luo Fuqiang took the document and was dumbfounded when he turned to the first page. It was all in English.
The translator trotted over quickly and stood behind Luo Fuqiang to look carefully. He couldn't understand professional international contracts, but he could understand the transaction amount.
Luo Fuqiang couldn't wait any longer and asked in a low voice, "How much?"
The translator's lips were trembling, and he bent down and whispered, "Forty million..."
"What?" Luo Fuqiang almost shouted, but luckily he held his own.
The translator's throat rolled and he swallowed hard, "It's US dollars..."
Luo Fuqiang was dumbfounded, and a burst of anger arose. He looked at Yao Yuan and said in a bad tone, "Forty million dollars for a second-hand production line? Mr. Yao, our Huashi Machinery Factory is a state-owned factory. You are cheating the country."
ah!"
"Director Luo, don't blame me. You should read it clearly first. If you don't understand, I can translate it for you." Yao Yuan smiled lightly and said, "The above is the signature seal of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, which is also included in the contract.
It was written clearly that more than US$40 million was the final transaction amount."
Luo Fuqiang sneered and said, "You only have 30 million US dollars, how can you buy this production line with more than 40 million US dollars?"
"How do you know I only have 30 million US dollars?" Yao Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
Luo Fuqiang was startled, rolled his eyes, and said, "Of course I have my own channels. Mr. Yao, this price is absolutely impossible. Let alone more than 40 million US dollars, it is more than 40 million Chinese coins. We also
If you don’t accept it, it’s not worth the price.”
"If that's the case, then I won't go far away." Yao Yuan said more simply, got up and left.
Jiang Yong followed closely, and Lu Sen quickly walked over to get the contract documents and said coldly, "With a complete production line and all the technology of more than a dozen models, we will give you face by not selling it at a higher price."
Luo Fuqiang was dumbfounded. Why did he just leave? I am a large state-owned factory. How dare you not give me face?
"Mr. Yao!"
Luo Fuqiang was not angry yet, so he quickly stood up and called Yao Yuan to stop, but Yao Yuan did not stop. Seeing that Yao Yuan was about to walk out, Luo Fuqiang suddenly realized that the other party was serious.
He quickly caught up and blocked Yao Yuan, "Mr. Yao, don't leave in a hurry. It's a negotiation. It's normal to have conflicts. Don't rush yet."
Jiang Yong immediately pushed Luo Fuqiang away.
Yao Yuan signaled Jiang Yong not to do anything, and stood not far from the door, saying calmly, "Director Luo, if you are really serious about buying a production line and technology, I have no problem. This production line and technology are very important to my company."
It is important, but for the sake of the lives of more than 5,000 worker brothers, I am willing to let you give it."
He suddenly changed the topic and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "But if you want to take advantage of your status as a large state-owned factory to gain nothing, then you have made the wrong calculation and chosen the wrong target."
"Yao Yuan, what you said is wrong. When did Huashi Machinery take advantage of it for nothing? What's wrong with your young mind..."
"Don't worry about my thoughts. Take care of your own thoughts first. Do you think that my private business can't make any trouble? Do you know how much profit I make in a month? I need to buy a production line and technology, right? No problem, just put the money
Take it out, I'm not looking down on you, you may not be able to take out four million US dollars. You don't have the strength, why are you sitting here talking to me? You have no money and you want to get the production line and technology. I don't know what your idea is.
Having said that, if you, Luo Fuqiang, really have this ability, why don't you use these tricks on foreign manufacturers? Is it because your own people are easy to bully, or are you just good at fighting in groups?"
Yao Yuan held back his anger and did not intend to save any face for Luo Fuqiang. He launched into a series of sharp reprimands and sarcasms. Luo Fuqiang, who was in his forties, turned red and white, and was so angry that he wished his head was smoking.
"I'm not looking down on you. The production line and technology are given to you for free. You can't make a heavy truck. If you have a production line and technology, you can produce a heavy truck that is too slow. Do you know how many supporting factories are needed? Do you know the upstream and downstream industrial chains?
How long? I suggest you clarify these issues before making a decision. You must know that the money you spend is the country's money and the taxes paid by the people."
Finally, after returning what Luo Fuqiang said to him, Yao Yuan smiled, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
Luo Fuqiang and his party were stunned at the place. Four words could describe their state at this moment - they were disgraced.
