Chapter 1692: Industry
"Damn it, no wonder they are called ghosts."
Liu Bin cursed in a low voice, turned his head, and asked the leader in the night, "Why?"
He asked very uncomprehendingly, "Why does he have to perform such a scene in front of us?"
"If I hadn't reminded you, what would you think of him, and what would you think of Panasonic Electric?"
Li Xuewu looked at the Toyota sedan leaving from the car window and said faintly, "You would even simply think that this is the business ecology of Japanese enterprises."
He looked at Liu Bin, whose face was full of confusion, "You would also think that this is the life of Japanese merchants, right?"
The driver followed the instructions, restarted the car, and drove towards the hotel they had booked.
"Is there any problem with this?" Liu Bin still hadn't thought it through, frowned, and asked, "Are they self-soiling?"
"If you think so, their goal has been achieved."
Li Xuewu smiled and explained, "A shallower truth, I'll understand as soon as I say it. Haven't you heard of the four irons?"
"Ah?" Liu Bin was stunned, the expression on his face even more confused.
"Sigh—no wonder Li Zong said you still need more training."
Li Xuewu jokingly teased him, and seeing that he was a bit embarrassed by himself, he explained, "Four irons: carrying a gun together, sharing spoils together, whoring together, and squatting in the warehouse together."
"Heh—hahaha—" Liu Bin couldn't hold back and almost laughed out loud. In the end, he still couldn't hold back.
Mainly because the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt.
"When people do good things, they always want to share the honor with one person. When they do bad things, they always want a group of people to bear the responsibility."
Seeing that the driver was also laughing, Li Xuewu continued, "You all think about it carefully, isn't this the truth."
"Then if you say it this way, he deliberately revealed a flaw so that we would think we saw through him and could handle him, and needed to bear the responsibility of confidentiality for him?"
Liu Bin is still very smart and can think of the second layer through the first layer.
"Negotiation, any means can be used, even if it makes you feel that he has many shortcomings or is easy to handle, it doesn't matter."
Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said, "People are more easily accepted by the public only when they are imperfect."
"Saints are fine, saints are fine. You can listen to them as stories, but if you really come into contact with them, you will collapse."
He looked at the colorful night of Osaka, and his tone even brought some bubble sounds of the late-night urban radio station, which sounded extremely charming.
"On a deeper level, he is promoting a kind of negative and backward entertainment and commercial ecology to you."
"This is of course negative," Liu Bin emphasized with confidence, "I will absolutely not do this kind of thing."
"Are you sure you can control it?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Bin, and confirmed, "Even if you can control not going to this kind of place in the next few days, what about after you go back?"
"Our inland doesn't have this kind of place."
Liu Bin said as a matter of course, "Even if I want to go, there is no such environment."
"But you will think about it, and you will say it out."
Li Xuewu's face suddenly became serious, and his gaze looked deep, "You will re-weave the impression of all this according to what you see and think."
"As long as you share this kind of impression, it will pollute a piece of organizational ecology like a virus."
He nodded and warned Liu Bin earnestly, "The human heart cannot withstand temptation, even if it is a sentence, a story, or a hearing."
Liu Bin was stunned. It took a long time for him to come back to his senses, and he asked stutteringly, "Then am I poisoned?"
"That's right, comrade. You are poisoned."
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "A kind of vulgar virus bred in the decadent environment of capitalism."
"Then what should I do?" Liu Bin looked at the leader behind him with dull eyes, "Is it okay if I promise not to talk nonsense when I go back?"
"Then can you control not thinking nonsense?"
Li Xuewu seemed to really have the posture of an old Chinese doctor with family learning, and asked one more question, but it made Liu Bin completely silent.
After a while, seeing that they were about to reach the hotel, he turned his head and asked, "Then... leader, am I sinful and should be executed on the spot?"
"Hahahaha—" Li Xuewu didn't expect that he held it in for a long time and came up with such a fart.
"You also talk about your views, don't always not speak." Li Xuewu looked at Qi Yan sitting beside him and said, "After a long time, you won't even know how to speak."
"I haven't seen this kind of virus." Qi Yan looked at Liu Bin in the passenger seat and said, "I don't have that kind of great willpower, so I don't see it and I'm clean."
"Good method. Do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper, do not speak what is improper, do not move what is improper." Li Xuewu praised with a smile, "Qi Yan is a smart person."
"Do you mean I'm dirty?" Liu Bin was a bit speechless, sighed, and said, "Then I really should die."
"Don't be so negative, learn more."
Li Xuewu pointed to his head and said, "Your brain has a certain capacity. Re-learn the red book and squeeze the dirty things out."
"Can it still be like this?" Liu Bin asked with a strange look, "The growth and decline are like filtering water to filter the brain?"
"That's much harder than filtering water."
Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said seriously, "Just describing it this way, actually it is to consolidate your outlook on life and values through learning."
"Do your own work well, live your own life well, don't ruin your positive heart because of this influence from them."
He seemed to be really teaching Liu Bin, "Learning always makes people progress. These ghost things cannot make you regress."
"I understand—" Liu Bin thought for a moment, looked at the hotel pick-up platform where the car arrived, turned his head, looked at Li Xuewu, and said seriously and gratefully, "Thank you. I almost fell into the pit."
Li Xuewu just smiled. After getting off the car, he patted his arm as he rushed over and said softly, "You can't feel the harm of these things now, but they will subtly affect your mentality."
"One day you will grow up. By then, it won't just affect you yourself."
"Mm, that's the truth." Liu Bin fell half a step behind, followed him up the stairs, and asked curiously, "Are you also preparing to learn the red book?"
"Me? I don't need to learn," Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Seeing through the illusion, I am now immune to all poisons."
Seeing that Liu Bin seemed to have been hit and looked at him suspiciously, Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your ideals and goals are far from being higher and farther than mine, so you can't resist the temptation and infringement of this kind of virus."
The two walked to the door of the room. He urged again, "So learn more, comrade. You will also have a day of enjoying this kind of self-made happiness."
Liu Bin stood at the door and thought for a moment. At that moment, he thought of another way to expel this kind of psychological karma, which was to use poison to fight poison like Director Li.
Experiencing this kind of thing more, one can also be immune to all poisons!
The path of evil cultivation is simple and practical!
On the fourth day of the Japan trip, Li Xuewu made a simple handover with Gao Yaqin at Osaka Airport and then flew back to Tokyo.
This time, because there was a precise time arrangement, the arrival time at Tokyo Airport was still early, and it was just time for lunch when arriving at the hotel.
"Director Han, you didn't go out."
Li Xuewu didn't expect to meet Han Song in the restaurant. Seeing his complexion was average, he still walked over and took the initiative to greet him.
It is like this at his level, and university students who have just graduated and participated in work should learn how to handle relationships with colleagues and leaders even more.
Don't be like the school period, not taking the school's leaders seriously, but seeing the class teacher like a mouse seeing a cat.
One must know how to accept colleagues' opinions, refuse unreasonable requests, communicate with leaders actively, and distinguish the garbage environment in work.
People all have social phobia, especially when there are many people. Unless it is an environment they are relatively familiar with, they dare not greet.
You are like this, and the leader is also a person. He actually hopes you are more active.
Then someone asks, why must it be me who is active? Can't it be the leader who is active?
Good boy, you have reversed the heaven and earth!
Society has its own heavenly way and rules. It doesn't have to be as respectful as thanking the emperor's grace, but at least it should be a confident greeting.
Still that sentence, the leader is also a person. If you contact him more, there will always be a little bit of influence.
Most straightforwardly, for two young people in the same office, if you are generous and confident, isn't the leader more willing to use you?
Isn't there a saying that goes well, active people enjoy the world first.
This is not a workplace hidden rule, but human feelings and worldly wisdom.
Li Xuewu didn't write human feelings and worldly wisdom on his face, but it was reflected in social interaction. He could let Yukichi Matsuno invite him to Japanese Red Romance. Can you say he is not amazing?
"I'm wiping the butt for Beijing Auto," Han Song's tone was a bit deep. Seeing that he had already taken the meal, he indicated, "Let's go together."
"Good, just over there, there are fewer people."
Li Xuewu didn't fear that the other party's rank was higher than his, nor was he afraid of sitting with him and being too nervous to eat.
To put it bluntly, it's just an old man in his fifties. Whether you are afraid or nervous is entirely caused by your own psychology.
Look at it now, doesn't Director Han Song also have to listen to his arrangement, sitting wherever he is told to sit? Why be afraid of him?
"I heard you are going to sign a contract with Panasonic Electric?"
After the two were seated, Li Xuewu went to the bar to ask for two glasses of juice, gave one to Han Song, and placed one at his own position.
Before he sat down, Han Song asked such a sentence.
"Yes, it has entered the negotiation stage," Li Xuewu explained frankly, "I waited until our Group President Gao arrived in Osaka before coming back."
"Our President Li reported to you, right?"
He looked at Han Song and asked for instructions, "We contacted yesterday. The relevant procedures should have been reported?"
"Mm, I have already seen it."
Seeing that his work was so rigorous and serious, Han Song sighed again and said, "Is it so difficult to go through a procedure?"
"Director Han?" Li Xuewu knew who he was talking about, but still asked feignedly, "Are you saying..."
"I'm not talking about you all." Han Song put down his chopsticks, looked at him, and asked, "You have already heard about Beijing Auto, right?"
He certainly didn't believe that with Li Xuewu's shrewdness, he wouldn't know about this kind of thing. Li Huai De and Gao Yaqin would report the relevant situation. This was what he requested.
Yesterday, he called all the enterprise persons in charge in Tokyo to reiterate the work procedures and discipline once. For those not in Tokyo, he requested the relevant personnel to do a good job of conveying.
So he said, "If the organizational procedures are strictly executed, will this situation appear? Truly not using the brain."
"I also heard a rough idea about this matter," Li Xuewu explained, "In the phone, President Gao didn't dare to say, but said a few words simply at the airport."
Seeing Han Song looking at him, he explained again, "I came back in a hurry. The time for meeting was limited, and I still had to hand over the cooperation content with Panasonic, so."
"It doesn't matter. This doesn't concern you all. You did very well."
Han Song was a bit helpless, but he picked a few key situations and told Li Xuewu. Some were what Li Xuewu knew, and some were what he didn't know.
"Before we came, we anticipated that this situation would happen." Han Song frowned and said, "Afraid of trouble, afraid of trouble, so we made a plan."
"This Wang Youhan truly has no organization and no discipline. Just because he was afraid of snatching their equipment, he dared not to go through the procedures!"
"Then what to do?" In front of Han Song, Li Xuewu certainly wouldn't gloat, even if there was no one, he wouldn't do so.
When going out, if one is not united, one will be bullied to death.
Yesterday morning when he came out, he saw Wang Youhan looking at them and muttering something. It was just that he was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"What does the Japanese side say?"
"What else can they say," Han Song said unhappily, "On someone else's territory, everything must listen to others."
"The person ran away and hasn't been found yet. Only caught a few small roles, which is useless."
Truly angered, Han Song also couldn't help but swear, his tone full of a serious attitude towards this matter.
Even eating was done with force, as if he had a grudge against the rice.
"Does Beijing Auto have other projects?"
Li Xuewu thought for a moment and asked, "It wouldn't be that they came for nothing this time, right?"
"Coming for nothing is not the case, but more than a million is gone." Han Song gritted his teeth and said, "If they want to buy anything else, they have to be cautious."
"Mm, that is indeed the case." Li Xuewu nodded slowly, ate a mouthful of rice, thought for a moment, and then looked at Han Song and said, "I haven't met with our President Li since I came back. When I meet in a while, I will ask for instructions to see if I can do something."
"If you all can extend a helping hand, that would be the best." Han Song said helplessly, "Their head has already flown over, and will arrive in the afternoon."
"We only have one relationship in Japan, Sanhe, so we can only say we will ask." Li Xuewu said straightforwardly, "Funds are all easy to talk about. If they need emergency help, they can bridge through the Oriental Era Bank in Hong Kong."
"Of course, the relevant procedures and formalities are still needed," seeing Han Song was about to speak, he added in front, "We also take money this way. It is still very convenient to take it when needed."
"Can. I will talk about it when I meet their head in the afternoon."
Han Song looked at him seriously and said, "The Red Steel's pattern is indeed far-reaching. This time, Beijing Auto should really learn well."
"Don't, you must not say that."
Li Xuewu said with a bitter smile, "Originally they had opinions about us. I want to extend a helping hand, also for your sake."
"If you say that, when they hear it, they will think we are taking advantage of the fire and want their favor."
"If he really dares to think so, then he is hopeless."
Han Song said faintly, "This huge sum of money going down the drain can also be considered as giving them a lesson, so as not to seek medical advice in a hurry."
He said so, what can Li Xuewu say? Anyway, towards Beijing Auto and Wang Youhan, he didn't have a single evaluation.
Not to mention the walls have ears, he couldn't fully trust Han Song either. The two originally had no private friendship or involvement.
It's just a relationship at work. Today he deliberately pulled him to eat together. He couldn't have no expression at all.
He also pointed it out just now. The emergency help in the *jianghu* is not for Beijing Auto, but for his Director Han Song.
Beijing Auto doesn't need to remember the Red Steel's favor, but you, Director Han, must remember it.
Li Xuewu is so smooth in doing things. He wouldn't say anything straightforwardly. That is too low-level and too hurtful.
For an old comrade like Han Song, what words can't he understand?
Li Xuewu said a few words, and Han Song knew it well. He acknowledged Li Xuewu's helping hand, but he would also compensate more.
If Han Song can come forward and use this opportunity to ease the contradictory relationship between Beijing Auto and Red Steel, that can also be considered a kind of return.
Li Xuewu can compete with Wang Youhan, but he can't compete with Beijing Auto's head. This matter still has to fall on Old Li.
"Bridging, need us to take money?"
Old Li heard his explanation, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "1.5 million?"
"Not necessarily, it's just giving a guarantee."
Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "Going out, everyone has difficulties. Breaking an example for them is also worth it."
The Red Steel Group's financial management principle is that there cannot be triangular debt, and the group and group leaders will never guarantee anyone or any organization.
This time Li Xuewu let Old Li come forward, with Han Song as the middleman. Some things are still very easy to talk about, and some words are also very easy to say.
At least before their head landed, there was already a response and remedy here. You say what the other party should do.
The more Red Steel emphasizes not needing thanks, the higher Beijing Auto will be set up.
If the other party really shows an arrogant posture, then it's not just Han Song who will be angry; the board above is really going to fall.
"Our funds are still quite sufficient. We only reached a procurement agreement with Panasonic on technology and electrical components. The big framework wasn't involved."
Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "I estimate the big head should be in precision machinery and the automobile industry. We won't consider metallurgy."
"Chemical industry might also need money."
Li Huai De reminded him, "Comrade Yaqin said Kyocera and Rohm gave replies, business cooperation can be talked about."
"But it's not easy to talk about. Especially in the situation where Panasonic has already reached an agreement." Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "Leave this matter to me. I'll handle it."
"Mm, Bai Changmin is also waiting for you."
Li Huai De took the material and looked at it, and said to him, "What should I ask for when I see Old Luo of Beijing Auto in the afternoon?"
He put down the material and smiled, saying, "Can't help for nothing, right?"
"Don't want anything, don't even want it if given." Li Xuewu reminded him seriously, "It's just to do it for the leaders above to see, to compare and see."
"Oh—" Li Huai De understood his meaning. Although he didn't know why Li Xuewu wanted to do this, there must be a reason.
The two have cooperated for so many years and have long had a tacit understanding. Li Xuewu has never fired a blank shot.
If there wasn't even this kind of tacit understanding, they wouldn't have reached today.
Li Xuewu's time is very tight. He took a nap at noon and, after communicating with Old Li, went to the THK headquarters located at Yutenji, Meguro Ward.
THK's full name is Toho Seiko Corporation. The company is very young, created in April this year.
Why did Li Xuewu specifically find this newly created company to visit?
From the time this name appeared in the first day's itinerary, Li Xuewu paid attention to the other party.
Don't think that because the company is newly created, it has no strength. If there were no ruthless skills, would one dare to create a company?
Industrial enterprises are not like sales enterprises that can form a group to start working by pulling two people. Without core technology, it is impossible to succeed.
"Mr. Li, welcome to Toho Seiko."
President Akihiro Teramachi is also the founder of Toho Seiko. He didn't stand on his identity, but took the initiative to come down to welcome Li Xuewu and his group.
"Mr. Teramachi, hello. I am Li Xuewu of the Red Steel Group."
Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with the other party, and made a self-introduction.
Although the accompanying commissioner of the Ministry of Industry had already made an introduction, he still emphasized it again.
Akihiro Teramachi certainly did his homework and had some understanding of the scale and situation of the Red Steel Group.
Even if he didn't realize this at the beginning, since Panasonic Electric inquired, the person in charge of the Ministry of Industry had already done this kind of work.
There are always a few enterprises that are their key objects of concern. How much cooperation this visit itinerary can reach is crucial for their work.
"Welcome, welcome. My enterprise is still very small. I didn't expect to get the attention of your company." Akihiro Teramachi bowed slightly very politely, his face full of humble and cautious enthusiasm.
Li Xuewu showed the politeness and courtesy he should have and took the initiative to ask about the current business situation of Toho Seiko.
Akihiro Teramachi is naturally willing to share his entrepreneurial path. After all, it is a young enterprise, and he is not young.
"Why is it called THK?" He explained with a smile, "T is Toughness, H is High Quality, K is Know-how."
Akihiro Teramachi introduced while inviting them to the exhibition hall to see their products.
Currently, Toho Seiko's main products are connecting rod balls, LM rollers, LM balls, ball splines, LM guides, etc.
Connecting rod balls are L-shaped joint bearings used to connect mechanical joints.
The samples in the exhibition hall were very exquisite, and Akihiro Teramachi spoke very meticulously, even pointing out several key points that were their unique processes.
For industrial enterprises, the entrepreneurial leader must be technical. He wasn't even afraid that Li Xuewu wouldn't understand after he finished speaking.
"Our cars need this thing."
Li Xuewu understood, but was afraid Liu Bin wouldn't understand, so seeing him lean over to look, he explained a sentence to him.
"Our products not only provide support for automobile industrial enterprises, but also industrial robots, semiconductor equipment, medical devices, etc."
"Aerospace also needs it." Li Xuewu added a sentence for him and said with a smile, "Without THK, there would be no modern precision manufacturing industry."
"You are too polite. It is a great honor." Akihiro Teramachi was very grateful for his attention and bowed to him again.
The Japanese are like this. Sometimes they will be inexplicably moved by themselves, always raising technology to a height, making you a bit confused.
If one day you go to Japan, don't feel funny when you encounter titles like Ramen Immortal, because they are very focused on extreme craftsmanship.
Just take the automobile industry that the public is familiar with. Even Americans have determined that only Japanese car engines are the most precise and also very fuel-efficient.
"Listening to the introduction of the commissioner of the Ministry of Industry, you have developed LM guides, right?" Li Xuewu didn't pretend to understand. He had a technical team to give advice, and even on-site guidance.
He also looked at the materials and did his homework before coming out.
However, following Shangguan Qi to learn knowledge, he still knew some basic industrial content.
LM guide is very simple to explain, which is using balls to replace traditional friction sliding, greatly improving mechanical processing precision, speed, and lifespan.
Sounds very simple, right?
For example, sliding doors, bearings, etc., in later generations all use the design of balls. Don't feel there is any technical content, right?
Actually, it's not. This kind of technology has barriers. It's not that whoever wants to manufacture it can get it out.
At least Li Xuewu knows that if this kind of product can be brought back, many pieces of equipment in Fengcheng Machinery will have to undergo a major replacement and upgrade.
"Actually, it is still in the testing stage."
Akihiro Teramachi was very humble and introduced with a smile, "Our laboratory has already fixed all the procedures, and now it is doing tests in the workshop."
"Very amazing, putting feet on the guide rail." Li Xuewu nodded and praised, "You will become an industry giant."
"Please don't praise anymore. I can't help but be proud." Akihiro Teramachi joked, "Actually, after understanding the Red Steel Group, I also worship you very much, being able to manage so many workers and involving so many industries."
"Most of our industries are low-end manufacturing."
Li Xuewu was not carried away by the other party's polite words, but explained very seriously, "Currently we are still doing technical and industrial upgrading."
"The reason why I rushed to Toho Seiko is very simple, which is to hand over the order to you and bring back the hope of technical upgrading."
Akihiro Teramachi didn't expect the Red Steel Group to start talking as soon as it came up. He hadn't prepared yet and couldn't help but look at the commissioner of the Ministry of Industry.
The commissioner naturally hoped that both sides could reach a cooperation agreement as soon as possible, so as to add a quota to the progress bar.
However, the commissioner wouldn't directly express an opinion, but chose to introduce the situation of each other to both sides, and then emphasized the preferential policies of the Ministry of Industry.
Why can the invited industrial and trade visiting groups choose enterprises to communicate, and even these enterprises are willing to cooperate?
The reason is very simple, because the Ministry of International Trade and Industry holds the lifeline of these enterprises and can even influence their export quotas.
Cooperating with the work of the Ministry of Industry is an instruction that even big bosses dare not violate.
"Actually, the cooperation negotiation between us is very simple," Li Xuewu smiled and said, "What you have, I use, so I will procure whatever."
He nodded slowly and said, "You have already pushed technology and production to the extreme, so there is no need for us to introduce technology again."
"As for the order..." Akihiro Teramachi hesitated and said, "I believe you have also seen it. Our factory is still very small."
This is not fake. Li Xuewu has already been able to see the overall situation of the factory area. The area is indeed not very large.
"If you procure a large quantity, we might not be able to finish it."
Akihiro Teramachi was very serious. Although there was regret in his tone, he still emphasized, "We cannot lose integrity. This is more important than anything else."
"Of course, procurement has a quantity."
Li Xuewu said with a smile, "I have already understood before I came. You serve internally and don't do exports, right?"
"That is the case." Akihiro Teramachi explained humbly, "Our scale is too small, so it is still mainly the domestic market."
"Mm—" Li Xuewu thought for a moment and asked, "Then have you ever thought about doing authorized production?"
Akihiro Teramachi was stunned by this suggestion and asked, "What kind of procedure is it?"
"In a short time, you have no way to improve production capacity while ensuring quality, right?"
Li Xuewu first confirmed it, and seeing him nod, he continued, "But you can do technology output."
"This is what we are doing, and it is in the country." He introduced the automobile industry of Red Steel, as well as the situation of management and industrial output.
Akihiro Teramachi frowned and thought, but there was worry hidden in his eyes.
"Are you worried about technology leakage?"
Li Xuewu smiled, as if he knew his thoughts very well, and said, "This is very normal. As long as it is an enterprise, it will worry about this point."
"But you should also know that as long as it is technology, there will be a day when it is broken through. What we control is not technology, but the market."
He pinched his fingers and described, "You cannot occupy the global market, and you cannot master exclusive technology either."
"You should also know that as long as related products are on the market and are welcomed, there will definitely be similar products appearing."
"But our technology is the best."
Akihiro Teramachi emphasized very seriously, "I dare to say that it will not be easily imitated."
"But as long as they are still on the road of imitation, you will have a day of being surpassed, right?"
Li Xuewu tilted his head and said, "Technology realization is the closed loop of capital return and continuous investment in technical research and development."
"Just selling products cannot realize quickly. Instead, it is technology authorization that is more suitable for your newly started enterprise."
While looking at the products in the exhibition hall, he explained, "If you have any concerns about technology confidentiality, you can completely sign a cooperation agreement with our Ministry of Foreign Trade through the Ministry of Industry."
"Both sides supervise each other. You can completely dispel this concern."
Li Xuewu turned back, looked at Akihiro Teramachi, and emphasized, "Without me saying, you should be able to think that this kind of business model will shine in the future."
"Technology authorization, is it overall technology sale?" Akihiro Teramachi said with some difficulty, "We don't have the plan for technology output for the time being."
He said with some embarrassment, "I'm really sorry, it might have disappointed you."
"It's not what you think." Li Xuewu explained with a smile, "Technology output refers to product commission, not overall sale."
"If we can reach cooperation, then accept the supervision of your side. For every unit of product sold, a technology authorization fee will be paid."
He is a master of drawing big cakes. At this time, on the other party's territory, he is still playing the trick of empty-handed white wolf.
Akihiro Teramachi is very shrewd and wasn't led into the ditch by him. He frowned and inquired, "Is all technology output?"
"It depends on the situation." Li Xuewu picked up a connecting rod and indicated, "You can completely retain one of the processes as insurance."
"Under the premise of prioritizing costs, you can completely choose a point to control this kind of cooperation."
"I have received your opinions and suggestions. I will think about it well as soon as possible and then give you a reply."
Li Xuewu didn't spend the afternoon in vain. He saw many good things. It wasn't until he walked out of Toho Seiko's main gate that he dared to relax his mind.
Toho is just a small company, or rather, such a company will never be able to grow, and will never reach the achievement of the Red Steel Group.
"Where did you go? I've been looking for you for a long time." Bai Changmin complained as soon as he saw Li Xuewu, and then pulled him to walk out.
"What for? I won't go to that kind of place!"
Li Xuewu said jokingly on purpose, making the comrades who came back at night laugh out loud.
"What kind of place!" Bai Changmin said unhappily, "If I really wanted to go to that kind of place, I wouldn't bring you. Isn't it good to go quietly?"
"Then I really have to say two words to you."
Li Xuewu followed him out, saying while walking, "You are so damn dog-like to pull me. You didn't think of bringing me to that kind of place. That's not even as good as a dog."
"Say whatever you want." Bai Changmin was not afraid of boiling water, indicated the direction of the car, and said, "Go, accompany me to see someone."
"Toray's?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard you've been busy with this for the past few days. Is there a result?"
"Almost, but I need you to help me take a look." Bai Changmin said with some difficulty, "I can't make a move for a while."
"What do you mean? I can make a move?"
Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement, and then asked, "Got polyester fiber and synthetic resin?"
"Right, got it, and other technologies."
Bai Changmin nodded and said, "Although it is not unique in the world, it also has its strengths."
"Can be used in automobiles and aircraft, a must-have material for vehicle lightweight." 【1692-2
Bai Changmin nodded and said, "Although it's not a unique technology on the international stage, it does have its advantages."
"It can be used in automobiles and aircraft; it's a must-have material for vehicle lightweighting."
"Polyester fiber, that is. The technology imported from East Germany has flaws."
Li Xuewu followed him into the car and introduced, "The technology has developed quite rapidly, but I just didn't expect Japan to be able to do it even better."
Polyester fiber and such are subsidiary industries separated from the petrochemical industry, which are very suitable for an industrial park.
The Beijing Chemical Industrial Park has a petrochemical section, and they are indeed hoping to acquire the downstream industries.
The key is that these industries can all be paired with the Red Steel Group's existing industries, especially the automotive and aviation industries.
Currently, the entire Red Star Automobile series uses plastics; the difference is where they are used, whether inside or outside the vehicle.
People in later generations always say there is a kind of plastic smell in Japanese cars, but in fact, German cars have an even stronger smell; Volkswagen is a typical representative.
With so many industrial components combined together, it would be strange if there weren't a smell.
But the smell of plastic is unique, even if one doesn't like it.
Lightweighting in automobiles means the engine can release more power to the drivetrain, and fuel consumption will also be greatly reduced.
Lightweighting has another advantage, which is that the interior space of the vehicle can become larger.
The safety issues previously caused by steel car roofs can now be solved through plastic products.
"If I say nylon, you'll definitely know it, but I've heard they are working on a chemical product that is even better than nylon."
Bai Changmin explained with no small amount of envy, "If we could bring it back, how good would that be?"
"Are you dreaming?" Li Xuewu glanced at him and reminded him, "Japan is a major power in the chemical industry; they rely on these technologies to make a living."
"If you're talking about the mechanical manufacturing industry, because the speed of technological innovation is too fast, they don't mind exporting, but the chemical industry is much more complex."
Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "I've communicated with a person in charge at Panasonic; they are a typical light-technology enterprise."
"Because they don't have to rely on technology—they are a front-end enterprise—they can only make money by selling things, so technological imitation can't keep up with their speed."
"Then let's buy polyester fiber and the like."
Bai Changmin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Actually, these technologies are also quite mature domestically; it's just that there's no complete procurement channel."
He meant bringing the technology and equipment back together so that production could begin as soon as it landed.
"If such a good thing existed, I dare guarantee you that the Red Steel Group would definitely skip you and do this project themselves."
Li Xuewu said with a smile, "We aren't short of money, nor are we short of people; we're just short of technology and the relevant production conditions. What use would you be then?"
"So we still have to get the technology!"
Bai Changmin sighed and said, "The speed of technological innovation in our line of work isn't very fast, so we tend toward the back end."
"It's also because the country already has these technologies that they are willing to sell; otherwise, even if we wanted to buy, they wouldn't sell them."
"In previous years, the country purchased related technology, also from Japan."
Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "You need to be prepared; it's very likely to conflict with the domestic chemical industry layout."
"There's no help for that. The industrial park needs to do comprehensive supporting and downstream industries; I can't just build fertilizer plants, can I?"
Bai Changmin said in a conflicted tone, "If possible, I'd even want to bring back a set of all the technology and equipment they are able to sell; that would actually save money."
His thinking is correct. In industrial enterprises, selling machinery piecemeal and then researching technology makes the cost of production very high.
Instead, it's better to buy second-hand machinery later and get mature processes, or even outdated processes, which doesn't matter.
Production costs can not only be saved from the processing end but also reduced from labor and other aspects.
Beijing Chemical, with its many people, naturally doesn't mind buying some second-hand equipment and then piling on the manpower to lower production costs.
"You can absolutely think that way, and you can also do it."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I'll cooperate with you."
