Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 112 68. Old Machine

"Mr. Grace! Can you show us around your company? Have a look at the equipment?"

"No problem! This way please!"

Sanzang and the others wore hard hats and followed Grace on a tour, sighing inwardly.
Made in Germany alone can stand alone in the world, indeed there are two brushes.

"How do you feel? Master Li!" Sanzang asked the auto repair master who was following him.

"It's really strong! It's not because of the reputation, but I can't tell you what's good about it, but I just think it's very high-end and very strong!"

Sanzang also felt the same way, just looking at the orderly work scene,
A spotless workbench and a tidy floor didn't seem to explain any problems.

Sanzang carefully watched the workers' operations, looked at their eyes, yes, this is it!
It was a pious look, treating work as a sacred thing, not just to abide by professional ethics, to support the family and make ends meet.

Being passionate about your work can do the same thing, we've had moments like that, but it doesn't last.

Only by being in awe of one's own work and treating it with pious heart,

Only in this way can we maintain this conscientious working state for a long time.

"Look, Mr. Huang! This is the latest equipment for producing universal joints!"

Grace pointed to a brand new prototype.

"That's it! Mr. Grace! Can we have a trial production? Let us have an intuitive feeling!"

"No problem! Franz! Come here!"

"Hi! Manager! What's the matter?"

"Make them a gimbal and see!"

"Ok!"

Franz quickly started to operate like a cloud and water, and after a while a universal joint was produced and handed over to Sanzang.

He pretended to look at it for a while, but couldn't see anything, so he handed it to Master Li, "Look!"

Master Li took it and rubbed it carefully for a while,

"Not bad! Not bad! What a good thing! It's like a work of art!"

"Mr. Grace! What is the production capacity of this equipment!"

"If the workers are skilled, about 100 pieces can be produced a day, and about 2500 pieces can be produced a month!"

Huang Sanzang nodded. If this equipment is brought back to the country and handed over to the communes and teams for production, it will definitely be 996, and maybe 5000 can be produced in a month.

"Mr. Grace! I am very satisfied with this equipment, and I can proceed to the next step!"

"Understood! Come to my office and talk!"

As soon as Sanzang entered the office, he impatiently asked,
"How about it, Mr. Grace! Can you give me a real price?"

"20 marks!"

As soon as Sanzang heard this, he knew that this would be the result, and he took him for a fool.

He only had 20 marks on him, and it was a great loss to travel such a long distance to buy only one machine.

"Hmm! This price is a bit expensive! I need to think about it!"

"Understood!" Grace felt that Sanzang was settled, and showed a knowing smile.

"Mr. Grace! Could you provide me with a copy of the equipment specification and operation manual?"

"Of course no problem! Here! You can just pass by now!"

Grace handed over two thick booklets.

"Mr. Grace! Your company's products are so advanced, there must be many companies buying them!"

Sanzang began to flatter him.

"That's it! Suppliers to BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche are using our equipment!"

"Can you tell me the list of these suppliers?"

"This one……"

"This is not a secret! You see! The four of us are all foreigners, and it is impossible to seek any improper benefits!

We just want to go and investigate their usage and if it's true, we'll place a big order! "

"Then you can't say that I leaked it!"

Grace is a deputy manager, and he also wants to make a big performance to make an impact.

"understand!"

"Then I will report it! You record it yourself!"

"Understood! Translator Liu!"

"Yes!"

After Liu Translator finished recording the list on a piece of paper, Sanzang showed it to Grace for confirmation. He changed two letters and handed it back to Sanzang.

"Thank you so much! You're such a nice guy!

Mr. Grace, we'll get back to you shortly after we go back and investigate! "

Sanzang held Grace's hand tightly and kept expressing his thanks.

"You're welcome! You're a good person too!" Grace looked puzzled.

"Then let's say goodbye!"

"Okay! I'll see you off!"

After Sanzang and the others got into the commercial vehicle, Master Li looked puzzled,

"I don't think the boss intends to buy their equipment! Why do you need that list?"

"Ginger is still old and hot! Sure enough, I can't hide it from you! Let's go back and talk about it first!
Liu translation!Call the driver master to drive! "

"it is good!"

Back at the hotel, the four of them gathered in Sanzang's room. Master Li couldn't hold back his curiosity at first,
"Why does the boss want that separate order?"

"This time, I approached Mi Luoze to introduce the sales director of the machine tool factory under the guise of buying machinery and equipment, just to get this order!
If the sales assistant manager honestly quotes a price, maybe I will buy it too!
Fucking kill me now, dude! "

"Then what's the use of this list?"

"Listen to me slowly, because Duoguo's enterprises have extremely high requirements on efficiency and quality,

Therefore, they will depreciate and sell the machine after it can recover the cost or reach a certain number of years.

Moreover, the government will adopt incentive subsidies for enterprises to update equipment,

Therefore, the wear rate and depreciation rate of their machinery and equipment are generally relatively low.

Unlike us, just like poor people saving their property, there may still be old machines from Manchuria in the 30s and old machines from the 50s in the old factories in Northeast China.

We must use a piece of machinery until it is completely scrapped. If we all do it like Xidu, how can we save such a big family business today! "

"Listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books! Teach me, an old man, a good lesson!"

"There is another very important reason. The quality of the workers in the independent country is generally relatively high, and they are skilled in operation.
The daily maintenance and regular maintenance of the machine are also carried out meticulously, so even if it is eliminated, it can still maintain a good operating condition.

Their machines have been eliminated in the independent country, but it does not mean that they are worthless! "

"You mean we're going to buy old machines!" At this time, Translator Liu also became interested.

"That's right! The depreciation period of Duguo machinery and equipment is ten to 14 years, and it may be shorter in actual implementation.

These equipments are still very advanced when shipped back to China, maybe even better than the same domestic equipment! "

"Then why don't domestic companies come to buy these old machines?"

"One is that the leaders of the enterprises have not yet thought that what they are doing now is a planned economy, and they can just wait for the planning tasks assigned by the top.

Another is that there is no money, and now foreign exchange is precious, and the country will not spend precious foreign exchange to buy these old machines.

Duguo people will not ship thousands of miles to the country to sell some non-convertible national currency, and they may have to pay for shipping inside! "

"Understood! It seems that only we can do this business!"

"That's right! You can only make a small amount of money by reselling the equipment, and you can only make a lot of money by shipping it back to China to play with the remaining value!

Then I will test you!Do you know where these old machines go? "

"Well! Let me think about it! A small part is in Turkey (Turkey), some are still in the hands of users, and some are in the waste recycling station!"

"Completely correct!"
