Chapter 69 (1/2)
After moving all the machine tools and drawings to a factory that has already vacated its position, this factory was the last time to mass produce small CNC machine tools. Baozixuan asked someone to buy a small machining plant less than 500 meters away from the company, mainly for the convenience of MIT Laboratory. It can carry out simple processing and production in its own factory, which is more laboratory. I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
It is said to be a small factory, but the whole construction area is also 10000 square meters. Ask someone to open all the boxes separately, take photos and scan each drawing. He needs to prepare in many ways. He wants to make the drawings into documents and photos in the computer, and will apply for customs declaration. After all, it is best to transport things to Xiangjiang according to formal procedures.
After everything was arranged, baozixuan began to work in the black cloud factory in the United States. These days, I work here almost all the time, and with it are two MIT authorities in the field of machine tools, Bowman and bruman.
Hashimoto was sent to Germany by baozixuan. He went to Rhine metal. Due to Professor Bowman's matchmaking, he soon started negotiations with the top management of Rhine metal.
Rhine metal company is an old industrial manufacturing company established in 1889. It produces tank guns used in many countries in the world. However, due to Germany's defeat in the two world wars, the once disassembled weapons are fragmented, and many weapons are not allowed to be produced. The company can only change to civilian products, which has not been very successful. Although the technology is advanced, the creativity is insufficient and the cost is high, making it less competitive in the market.
Baozixuan knows this is an opportunity. If Rhine metal successfully develops leopard 2 tank next year, what equipment he wants to buy will be very expensive, and people may not pay attention to you. This is the key period for Rhine Metal Research and development, and the most lack of funds, so baozixuan should choose some cheap.
Hashimoto was introduced by Professor Bowman and is the representative of black cloud company. In Rhine metal, he met Oliver leharde, the chairman of Rhine metal. Rhine metal was founded by his great grandfather and once did not belong to their family. However, with the intensification of the cold war, the pressure on West Germany's national defense increased sharply. In order to increase the cohesion of the company, he invited the people of the leharde family back to run the company.
The two sides soon reached an agreement on the elimination of Rhine metal machine tools. Heiyun company has purchased 336 machine tools and supporting facilities from Rhine metal, including 2 industrial machines, at a price of US $20 million, and hired 142 skilled workers who are forced to retire from Rhine metal, with an average age of 53.6 years.
Heiyun company promises that in the future, all pensions, medical expenses and benefits of these workers will be borne by heiyun company, which is why the machine tool will be sold to heiyun at the price of cabbage. After all, these workers need about $15 million to $20 million a year; Moreover, compared with their surplus value, Rhine metal is a big burden. This is a total expenditure that may reach about $500 million
But when black cloud wanted to buy patents and technologies for trucks and SUVs, Oliver leharde hesitated. After all, it was not a burden to throw away, but also a profitable project for them; I don't want to cultivate too many competitors in the world. So he directly offered a sky high price of $200 million to scare the other party away.
Hashimoto said he would report to the company. After all, the amount has exceeded his authorization. The two sides agreed to hold negotiations in tomorrow morning.
