Chapter 294 Signing the factory transfer contract, the United States raised its financial scythe
Being tricked...
Shen Dong was stunned for a few seconds.
The person who purchased it for him and recommended this integrated die-casting machine to him was his brother, who has been a close friend since he was a child.
If it is true as Hua Ming said, this 6,000-ton integrated die-casting machine is worth 120 million, how much rebates are there?
80 million?
He calculated the discount, 40 million.
With a rebate of 40 million units, he purchased ten units, and 400 million was swallowed up like this?
Out of trust in his brother, Shen Dong questioned: "Just looking at the outer shell, how did you, Chief Hua, tell that the core is from an island country?"
"It's very simple." Hua Ming reached out and touched the shell of the machine and explained: "The mold clamping process is different. The island's domestic die-casting machines generally use metal locking columns to increase the clamping force, while Germany uses high-pressure mold locking. The latter process is obviously higher. If You still think this is a serious German device. You can take it apart and look inside. The parts should have the island country’s characters.”
Shen Dong: "..."
Silence.
He was completely silent.
If what Hua Ming said is true, how much kickback did his brother Lai Weijie receive?
You know, he is responsible for all equipment procurement at Brilliance Longhua Factory.
A little here, a little there, Shen Dong also suddenly realized. No wonder Lai Weijie went to Sanya to buy a duplex villa. It turned out that he was using money from the group to enrich himself.
"Lai Weijie, this bitch, I'm going to fuck you like a naughty leather swallow." Shen Dong cursed in his heart and silently clenched his fists.
Just when he was about to call and question, Hua Ming suddenly changed the subject and said: "Although it is the core of the island, it is indeed a good thing. Integrated casting is the future trend."
Perhaps many people do not know the specific process of integrated casting.
In the past car manufacturing process, the production of parts required machine welding. Generally speaking, the chassis alone would have close to tens of thousands of welding points.
Integrated die-casting is different. It only needs to prepare the die-casting mold in advance and fill it with liquid metal, usually aluminum alloy liquid. When these two things are ready, you can use high pressure to press the liquid metal into the mold and wait for solidification and cooling. .
To put it simply, integrated die-casting is a bit like the plasticine you played with when you were a child. Press the plasticine into the mold and it will become a variety of specific shapes. You don’t need to do it manually. Go pinch.
“Let’s look at die-casting machines of other tonnages.” Shen Dong stopped worrying about the issue of rebates and settled the accounts later.
“Trouble.”
Chen Xing followed closely.
A 6,000-ton die-casting machine, which is used to manufacture body chassis, and a 1,500-ton, 2,000-ton die-casting machine that produces parts.
It has to be said that judging from the equipment in the die-casting workshop, Shen Dong definitely wants to build his own cars and run the Brilliance Longhua brand well.
Because if you just want to get subsidies, you won’t buy such an advanced machine.
Integrated die-casting machine, this is a car-making concept that is five years ahead. No wonder Brilliance Group can go bankrupt even if BMW Brilliance has it. This is where the money was originally spent.
After visiting the die-casting workshop, Shen Dong took Chen Xing and others to the body shop, painting shop, battery shop and final assembly shop.
From the metal liquid to the final product, the steps for a car are extremely complicated, and Shen Dong also explained it with all his heart.
“The final assembly workshop, which is equivalent to house decoration, installs the final interior of the car, as well as the front and rear headlights. There are also corresponding test steps. Only if they all pass can we allow the closure Test."
After finishing the story, Shen Dong looked at Chen Xing and asked again: "Mr. Chen, do you have any questions?"
"I think everything is fine. ." Chen Xing looked at Ren Guofei and Rebus beside him, wanting to hear their opinions.
“Not bad.”
“The equipment is really good.”
The two of them agreed.
Hua Ming also nodded. He also felt that Brilliance Group's automobile production plant was capable and more advanced than other domestic factories.
If it can be won, building new energy vehicles will also save a lot of time.
"Then..." Shen Dong first glanced at Song Weiguo, his pupils flashed with anxiety, then looked at Chen Xing and said: "Your second quotation is..."
The first offer was 10 billion, but Shen Dong did not agree.
10 billion may seem like a lot, but for the foreign debt owed by Brilliance Group, it is only barely enough to cover it.
Chen Xing did not answer in a hurry, but gave Hua Ming a wink. The two of them, including Ren Guofei and Rebus, came to one side to discuss the final factory quotation.
“Tell me what you think.”
Chen Xing looked at Hua Ming.
He is the only one here who knows about new energy vehicles. They can only negotiate with Shen Dong if they know the specific price of the factory.
The same is true for Rebus and Ren Guofei, waiting for Hua Ming's analysis.
“13 billion is not a loss. Not to mention such a large venue, the equipment alone is already worth more than 8 billion. Moreover, it is brand-new equipment and has never been mass-produced. It saves money. The time and cost are not lost.”
His quote of 13 billion is not nonsense. The equipment in the die-casting workshop and stamping workshop is worth billions, not to mention the body shop, painting shop, Equipment for battery workshops and final assembly workshops.
Having ready-made equipment can save time and cost, which can play a decisive role in future layout.
"13 billion."
Chen Xing looked at Ren Guofei and Rebus.
The three of them are billionaires, so they naturally know how to negotiate.
When the four people completed their discussion and returned to Shen Dong, Chen Xing quoted directly: "We just discussed it. Mr. Shen, your factory is indeed very good, but in terms of equipment, such as the die-casting machine, It’s a bit unsatisfactory, so our second round quotation is 11 billion.”
“That’s right.”
Rebus agreed and said, “If the die-casting machine is imported from Germany. , then we can give you 12 billion.”
“Think about 11 billion. We are the only ones in the entire Dragon Kingdom who can pay you 11 billion in cash flow.”
Ren Guofei smiled lightly.
The automotive field is a Red Sea. It’s not that there are too many competing manufacturers, but that people in the Dragon Kingdom generally don’t recognize domestically produced cars.
Of course.
You can't blame anyone else.
Who spends hundreds of thousands of savings to buy a car and doesn’t want to buy it back and drive it longer? German and Japanese cars with better value retention and quality control naturally become the first choice brands.
Before the concept of "domestic backwardness" did not change, there were basically no companies that spent tens of billions to build cars, and those that did were only joint venture models.
“Okay, let’s take this price.”
Shen Dong readily agreed.
The attitude of not counter-offering made Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Rebus confused. They originally wanted to reach the 12 billion range, but they gave 11 billion as a footing.
When several people were confused, Shen Dong expressed his thoughts: "If the BMW Group doesn't let go, I won't be able to build the car I want, and if the factory is idle for a day, I will lose tens of thousands. Let's just make a favor and transfer it to you."
"The most important thing is that if we continue to negotiate, it will only cost a few hundred million. It's not worth delaying Chief Song for this small amount of money."
< br>Obviously.
He is selling favors to Song Weiguo.
Because in Fengtian, if he could connect with Song Weiguo, he would be willing to spend billions, not to mention hundreds of millions.
"That won't work." At this time, Chen Xing stood up and said: "We can't take advantage, so let's buy it for 12 billion."
Want Song Weiguo to owe a favor?
He won’t agree.
Don’t look at Shen Dong as a fool, but think carefully about his words. He wants Song Weiguo to owe him a favor, and also Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Lei Busi to owe him a favor. , this is quite a pit. What people in business like them fear most is debts of gratitude. If they don't repay them, it will be bad for their reputation if word spreads about them.
Furthermore, because of his own affairs, Chen Xing felt sorry for causing Song Weiguo to owe a favor. After all, they even helped him build a nuclear power plant, so there was no need to let him go through this muddy water again.
“Sign the contract.”
Ren Guofei also echoed.
He also knew what Shen Dong wanted, but they didn't want to owe any favors.
Seeing that Chen Xing and others were not fooled, Shen Dong did not persist. He really did not dare to waste Song Weiguo's time and responded: "Then go to my office and we will draw up a contract."
"Let's go."
“Let’s go.”
A few people took steps towards the office of the automobile factory.
……
Signing a factory transfer contract is very simple, not as complicated as acquiring a company, and the terms basically don’t mention any pitfalls.
Less than half an hour.
The transfer contract has been signed.
The contract was made in five copies. Shen Dong kept one copy, Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Rebus each kept one copy. The other copy was given to a lawyer trusted by all parties for safekeeping.
“We will arrange payment as soon as possible.”
Chen Xing stood up.
"Okay." Shen Dong also stood up, and the two shook hands and said: "Then I won't disturb you and Chief Song's talk, but you two, Mr. Ren and Mr. Lei, have to sell me It’s all about face.”
Chen Xing didn’t dare to stay because Song Weiguo wanted to talk about it.
Rebus and Ren Guofei are different. If he does not entertain guests warmly, it will appear that he is too unenthusiastic.
"Just make arrangements with Mr. Shen."
"That's right."
Rebus and Ren Guofei responded with smiles.
"You guys chat first, I will go to the appointment first. If you have anything, please send me a WeChat message." Chen Xing looked at Ren Guofei and others and said.
"Go ahead, don't keep the Song leader waiting for long." Ren Guofei waved his hand.
After briefly greeting several bosses, Chen Xing walked straight towards the die-casting workshop without stopping for a moment.
Arriving at Song Weiguo's car, Chen Xing said hello: "It's all done, Chief Song, where are we going now?"
"Let's go to my place."
Song Weiguo extended an invitation .
The guard sitting in the back seat also understood very well. He quickly opened the door and got out of the car, and sat in the passenger seat.
Chen Xing sat in the back seat and closed the door neatly.
Seeing that everyone was seated firmly, the guard who was driving the car immediately started the vehicle and began to turn around and drive towards the exit of Longhua Automobile Factory.
After the vehicle started, Song Weiguo looked sideways at Chen Xing and said with a hint of admiration: "You are really capable of doing things. You are working with our Fengtian Military Region on the Eastern Electric Power Diversion to the South, and you are working on the Skynet with Zhao Chenguang on the back. Plan."
"You know everything?"
Chen Xing smiled awkwardly.
Can it be done?
He just wants to grow the company.
"Don't you know?" Song Weiguo withdrew his gaze, looked straight ahead and said: "For this plan, Zhao Chenguang convened all the research institutes and rocket launch bases in the space field overnight, and almost invited the old chief to come out to host it. The overall situation is over."
"So cruel..."
Chen Xing was amazed that it was Zhao Chenguang at the critical moment.
After learning about it, he replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Maybe Director Zhao thinks that satellite base stations have development prospects. After all, if the construction is completed, the 5G network will be able to cover the world."
"That's it. That makes sense."
Song Weiguo nodded and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about him anymore. Your photolithography factory can definitely mass-produce chips, right?"
"If the energy is stable, Mass production is absolutely no problem.”
Chen Xing responded confidently.
"That's good." Song Weiguo looked at Chen Xing again and explained his thoughts: "When the construction is completed, if there is excess production capacity, we can try to take military orders."
< br>
"Military industry order?"
Chen Xing was stunned, then thought of something and said: "Chief Song, you don't want to give us military-type chips for production, do you?"
"Otherwise "What?" Song Weiguo asked back, then said with a smile: "The only company that can produce 13.5 nanometer extreme ultraviolet light is your company."
The chip is the brain of the machine, no matter it is. Fighters flying in the sky or submarines hiding in the deep sea, they all have their own high-performance chips.
In the past, due to the limitations of photolithography machines, performance requirements for military and aerospace chips were secondary, and durability was generally pursued.
But if the problem of the lithography machine is solved, it would be a shame for these technological breakthroughs if it does not improve the performance of the chip.
"Don't be too happy too early. Chip design takes time. We won't give you an order in the near future. I just want to give you a heads up."
Song Weiguo said again.
Chen Xing naturally understands the complexity of chip design, and he also promised: "Understand, as long as the photolithography factory is put into mass production, we will accept orders for both civilian and military applications."
Semiconductor is the cake. It's huge. Even if he can't take on the field of chip foundries, Gao Yongming's Loongson International will still be there.
...
While Chen Xing and Song Weiguo were talking, the time in Washington, the United States, on the other side of the ocean, had just reached zero o'clock.
Having been brewing for three days, a storm that could sweep across the world suddenly came.
[With the unanimous vote of Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and Morgan Stanley, and the unanimous approval of the Chamber of Commerce, starting today, the interest rate on depositors’ deposits will be increased to 2%, with a maximum of 5%. Global funds are welcome m investment profit. ]
The Federal Reserve Bank of America suddenly issued an announcement on its official website, which caused a huge amount of heat. At the same time, various official departments in the United States, as well as various large American banks, immediately followed the report.
In a flash.
American netizens are completely excited.
[Jermaine Janus]: "Oh my God, what did I see? Up to 5% interest on savings?"
[David Lyons ]: "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! 5%! Has God appeared? This is 5%!!!"
[Agulia]: "Isn't today April Fool's Day? Up to 5% interest on deposits, my God, I think I can save until the bank goes bankrupt, I’m not kidding!”
Some are happy, some are sad.
Such a high deposit interest rate made American stock investors begin to cry.
[Joseph Holena]: "With such high deposit interest rates, the stock market will definitely collapse, and history will remember this day!"
[Neri Domingos] : "Which genius came up with this idea? I really want to kick his ass!"
