Chapter 613 The European Legion
Sitting in front of the computer in the office, Hua Jian is checking the e-mails from the other side of Eurasia one by one, and then giving some simple or detailed replies. There are hundreds of such e-mails every day , and he spends half his working day dealing with them every day.

Huajian terminated the labor contract with the original company shortly after the Frankfurt Equipment Exhibition, and flew back to China together with nearly a hundred European engineers.In view of his working experience in many European countries and his familiarity with various domestic systems, Lin Zhenhua did not ask him to do more professional technical work, but set up a "Liaison Office for Foreign Engineering and Technical Personnel" The agency arranged for him to be the director of the office, responsible for recruiting foreign talents, and at the same time providing life assistance for European engineers who came to work in China.

The newly established department is referred to simply as the "Outside Liaison Office" in the official occasions of the Hanhua Group, but the good-natured people prefer to call it the "Foreign Workers' Office" by false rumors. It is said that this is because several people who work here have already All married men give birth to daughters, who are only born to be grandfathers.

Hua Jian went to Europe to make a living because he felt that the conditions in China were poor. Now he not only came back by himself, but also took charge of attracting talents from Europe to China. The changes between the visits and visits reflect the fact that China has been in China for more than 20 years. Every time he thought about the earth-shaking changes that had taken place here, he would sigh endlessly.As for the Hanhua Group he is working for, as the epitome of China's 20 years of reform and opening up, Huajian finds it incredible.

When he was abroad, he had paid attention to Hanhua Heavy Industry Group and knew that it was a large-scale enterprise that was rapidly rising by taking advantage of reform opportunities.After he really entered Hanhua and became a member of Hanhua, he realized that his understanding of Hanhua in the past was really too superficial.

It's not that I don't know, it's a shock.Under the banner of Hanhua Group, it has more than a dozen core businesses such as fertilizer equipment, petroleum equipment, fine chemical equipment, metal cutting machine tools, forging machinery, welding machinery, industrial refrigeration equipment, gas turbines, automobiles, ship power, and general household appliances. In addition, There is also an industrial integrated circuit industry chain from circuit design to chip manufacturing, which is expected to generate profits for the group within a few years.

After 20 years of accumulation, the total value of Hanhua's fixed assets has reached nearly 1 billion, which does not include the value of the land owned by various factories in prime locations in cities such as Xunyang, Nandu, Luzhong, and Hunbei.Taking the location of Xunyang's headquarters as an example, Lin Zhenhua took advantage of the urban development boom to set aside a factory area of ​​1 mu, and then acquired more than 2 mu piecemeal, adding up to more than [-] mu of land. .

When these lands were purchased, they cost less than 1 yuan per mu. With the development of Xunyang's economy over the years, the price has risen to 50 yuan per mu. The discounted price of 2 mu of land alone has exceeded 100 billion yuan.Such a value is not reflected in Hanhua's balance sheet.Appraisals of the potential value of land are only useful when a company goes public or goes into bankruptcy.

Last year, Hanhua's output value reached more than 1600 billion yuan, equivalent to about 200 billion yuan when converted into US dollars.Compared with large European and American companies like ALK, Hanhua's output value is still far behind, but if you consider the low price of Hanhua products and its surprising growth rate, its competitive pressure on ALK and other companies is still acceptable. One can imagine.

After returning from the Frankfurt exhibition, the senior leaders of Lin Zhenhua Concentration Company held meetings for a week.By the end of the meeting, the workers found that the faces of these leaders hardly showed signs of fatigue, but instead they were filled with excitement, self-confidence, and complacency.

At the meeting, Lin Zhenhua informed everyone about the situation at the Frankfurt exhibition. At the same time, he also introduced the information that Chen Tian provided him about the jealousy of Western manufacturers against Hanhua and the possibility of a joint blockade.

Regarding the latter point, Lin Zhenhua’s point of view is that the rise of no nation will be peaceful, and any new member of the international interest club will mean the re-division of the traditional sphere of influence, and all kinds of frictions will arise for this. Indispensable, and in serious cases even means war.Hanhua is an enterprise, and it is impossible not to attract all kinds of open and dark swords if it wants to seize the market in the hands of international established enterprises.

The news that Lin Zhenhua brought back did not make the executives of the group fall into fear, on the contrary, it made everyone excited.Every company has its own personality, and the formation of this personality is closely related to the head of the company.Lin Zhenhua has always been a person who does not believe in evil. As early as 20 years ago, when Hanhua was only a small company, he dared to let go and fight with Japan's Nihong Heavy Industries, and finally defeated Nihong Heavy Industries in 10 years. Turned to the ground, making it a subsidiary company of Hanhua.Today, Hanhua Heavy Industry has assets of 20 billion yuan, more than [-] employees, and business all over the world. How can it be afraid of the threat of competition?

In a few days of meetings, everyone analyzed in detail the future competition that Hanhua might face in the future, summed up the company's strengths and weaknesses, and especially pointed out more than a dozen deficiencies, and decided to use one or two years to invest in Tens of billions of funds will be used to make up for it.Projects discussed and approved at the meeting include:
Invest 20 billion yuan to jointly tackle key problems with Baosteel, Wuhan Iron and Steel and other enterprises to develop various high-strength, high-temperature, ultra-low-temperature, and high-pressure-resistant materials for large-scale chemical equipment;
Invest 15 billion yuan to solve technologies such as precision bearings, precision screw screws, and special cutting tools in high-precision machine tools by means of a combination of introduction and development, and realize the complete localization of these key accessories;

Invest 15 billion yuan to develop the next generation of industrial control chip technology, so that the chip company to be established will win at the starting line;

Invest 5 million yuan to develop construction machinery technology and prepare to enter the booming construction market;
Invest 5 million yuan to develop new gas turbines...

In addition to these technical investments, the meeting also reviewed and approved the proposal to establish a global sales network proposed by Chu Hongyang and He Fei, and decided to use two years to establish 200 sales and after-sales service centers around the world. Within a radius of 500 kilometers, you can find a Hanhua after-sales service provider.According to Chu Hongyang's estimate, the average operating cost of an after-sales service center is about 50 US dollars, and 200 after-sales service centers will cost more than 1 million US dollars, equivalent to nearly 10 billion yuan.

"Two hundred outlets..." Even Xiang Zhe, who has always boasted of being broad-minded, was shocked by this bold plan.

On the huge world map displayed by He Fei, there are densely packed small red flags representing Hanhua after-sales service centers, which are popular all over the world, making people feel bloody.If such a global sales network can be established, it means that Hanhua's sales tentacles have extended to every corner of the world. At that time, everyone can say: As long as there are people, there will be Hanhua.

Although the entire plan will cost as much as 10 billion yuan and will continue to be invested every year, all executives raised their hands and agreed to the expenditure.These after-sales service centers serve the entire group, whether it is chemical equipment, machine tools, or home appliances, they can all be supported by these after-sales service centers.With these after-sales service centers, the product sales of each branch can leap to a new level, and the profit earned in a year is more than a few billion?
Behind the huge technology development and marketing plan, there is a huge demand for talents.In recent years, domestic universities have been expanding crazily, with doctors and masters all over the street, coupled with the generous remuneration of Hanhua, there is no difficulty in recruiting domestic talents.In addition, it is naturally the plan to recruit foreign talents that has already started before. The news that Lin Zhenhua brought back from Europe also gave everyone confidence. Forming a European army to compete with European companies like ALK is what everyone loves to see scene.

It is against this background that Hua Jian served as the director of the "Foreign Labor Office" and was directly managed by the group headquarters.Xiang Zhe assigned him the task of recruiting 1000 European engineers, senior technicians, and marketing experts within one year.Half of these people will work in China in the future, and the other half will either stay in the European Research Institute or be sent to Hanhua after-sales service centers that are being established around the world.

It is also a helpless move to recruit foreign talents on such a large scale.China's reform and opening up has only lasted more than 20 years, and it is not enough to accumulate enough export-oriented talents.The young people who have graduated from the university in batches are sufficient in terms of intelligence and enthusiasm for work, but they are completely blank in terms of experience.Hanhua does not reject newcomers, but these newcomers must be brought by old people. The arrival of a large number of foreign talents is to make up for this shortcoming.

In another 20 years, when the previous generation in Europe gradually ages, it will be these Chinese talents who are currently growing up who will dominate the world.

"Pierre, French, Ph.D. in electronics, education experience...work experience...specialty..." Hua Jian opened a new email and reviewed the situation of European job applicants one by one.

Due to the large number of job seekers, Hanhua's threshold for employment has also risen very high. An ordinary doctorate is not uncommon. Only undergraduates, masters, and doctors who have studied in prestigious schools can be considered.The more work experience, the better, but there is a strict age limit. Except for a few talents who intend to hire as consultants, job seekers over 40 years old will not be considered.

"Reason for job hunting: As a workaholic, I can't find a job that suits me in European companies..."

When Hua Jian read such a sentence, he couldn't help laughing out loud.That's right, the European cultural atmosphere has indeed made those workaholics have no place to live. If you work overtime after get off work, what you get in return is definitely not the boss's praise, but the colleagues' contempt.

It is difficult for a Europe that loves leisure and hates work not to decline.
