King of Industry

  Chapter 307 Learn more and plan ahead

  In the living room, Zhao Guoyang, who was sitting opposite Mu Yiyi, heard her say the place name "Staffordshire", his expression immediately became vivid.

  Sitting upright, Mu Yiyi had been secretly paying attention to the changes in Zhao Guoyang's expression. Now, seeing the strange expression on the latter's face, she couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

   "Hey, Zhao Guoyang, what are you thinking?" Mu Yiyi couldn't help it, and asked directly.

  Zhao Guoyang pondered for a while, and asked back: "Mu Yiyi, do you know that there is a very famous agricultural manufacturing company in Staffordshire?"

  After hearing this, Mu Yiyi was stunned, thought for a while and said: "It seems that someone mentioned that there is such a company, but I don't know the specific name. Why, do you know this company?"

  Zhao Guoyang was secretly amused, not only did he understand, but he could be described as quite familiar.

  The company he was talking about in his heart was JCB, the most famous construction machinery and agricultural manufacturing company in England, and even in the world.

   As the first company in the world to develop backhoe loaders, JCB has always been a major construction machinery manufacturer in Europe and the largest family-owned company in England.

  The company was established in 1945 by Mr. Joseph Cyril Bamford, or "JCB".

   And this Mr. Joseph Cyril Bamford is also the inventor and creator of the world's first backhoe loader.

  According to the memories of Zhao Guoyang's previous life, JCB has been the world's largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery until the 21st century, and its investment in product research and development has always been at the forefront of global technological innovation.

   In Zhao Guoyang's view, he now has a demand for construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment produced by JCB.

  Whether it is the niobium-tantalum mine in Sao Paulo State, or the heavy industrial production that I am about to start planning in China, there are many places where these equipment are used...

   After thinking about many things, Zhao Guoyang was naturally silent for a while.

   Inadvertently noticing the gradually impatient look on Mu Yiyi's face, Zhao Guoyang realized that the lover had been waiting for his reply.

   "Uh... Yiyi, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." Zhao Guoyang said with some embarrassment.

   "I still have a certain understanding of the JCB company just mentioned. Its main products include agricultural machinery and construction machinery. Some of its products overlap with our factory, and there are many places that can be used for reference..."

   "Oh? Which factory, what products overlap with our factory?" Before Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Mu Aijun came out of the room after making a phone call, and asked loudly.

"Dad, Zhao Guoyang and I are talking about my study abroad. Last time I mentioned Staffordshire to you, do you remember? Zhao Guoyang said that there is a company called 'JCB' there, and you Hong The products of Da Machinery Factory overlap."

   "Oh? JCB Company? This is the first time I've heard of this! Guoyang, please tell me what this company produces." After Mu Aijun sat down, he looked at Zhao Guoyang with great interest.

  Zhao Guoyang nodded, and roughly explained the related products of JCB to Mu Aijun and his daughter.

   "JCB company started with backhoe loaders at first. Later, it gradually developed into a large-scale comprehensive machinery manufacturing enterprise integrating agricultural machinery, construction machinery and industrial equipment."

   "JCB's production level of hydraulic crawler loaders has always been in the leading position in the world. In addition, it also has great advantages in products such as telescopic forklift trucks and small agricultural rice transplanters."

Zhao Guoyang paused and continued: "Just the year before last, JCB made another amazing move. They developed the world's first high-speed traction tractor with full suspension. In one fell swoop, the production level of global tractors has been raised to a new level. realm…"

  Mu Aijun listened carefully to Zhao Guoyang's narration, nodding in amazement from time to time.

   It can be seen that the director Mu admires JCB, a super manufacturing company with strong innovative capabilities, from the bottom of his heart.

After talking about the general situation of JCB, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said to Mu Aijun: "Director Mu, from the current production structure of our factory, if we devote ourselves to the development and production of scooters, it must be I don’t have the energy to make other new products.”

   "But I think it's not a bad thing to learn about the information trends and development trends of some industries in advance..."

  Zhao Guoyang opened his fingers and gave an example: "Just like several products of this JCB company, such as high-speed traction tractors and agricultural rice transplanters, we can all learn more about this aspect. Plan ahead, after all, there are still some uses."

   "Well, what Guoyang said is correct, I completely agree with you!" Mu Aijun nodded after hearing the words.

   "For our Hongda Machinery Factory, it is now in a very good development period. The trial production of scooters is very smooth, and has already attracted the attention of our Ninghai City and even Guangling City."

Mu Aijun looked at Zhao Guoyang smugly and said, "Guoyang, let me tell you the truth. If our first batch of scooters can come out in two months and put them on the market, we will continue to follow up in our factory." There is an opportunity to apply for one or two relatively large amounts of financial support."

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't hide the joy on his face, rubbed his hands vigorously and said, "Director Mu, if there are really more sufficient funds, I think our factory can really do a good job and open up a new one." road preparation."

Zhao Guoyang thought for a while and then said: "Of course, this newly opened road may not be similar to JCB. But since Yiyi is in Yingjili, it can be said that she is close to the water, and she will help us understand the relevant situation first. It’s always right to find out.”

   "Even if we really want to cooperate with others in the future, or produce similar products, we have mastered certain information in advance." Zhao Guoyang finally added.

   "Well, it makes sense, it makes sense!" Mu Aijun nodded vigorously.

   Mu Yiyi next to her heard the words, her face was a little unhappy. She curled her lips and said, "What, Dad. Are you asking me to be a commercial spy? I'm an MBA from the dignified Coventry Business School!"

  After hearing her daughter's complaint, Mu Aijun laughed loudly and said, "Spies are not spies. It's not as serious as you said. It's just throwing stones to ask for directions."

   "Speaking of which, what does this JCB rice transplanter look like? I'm really interested in buying one to come back and have a look. Yiyi, after you go to England this time, remember to ask me about the price."

  Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Guoyang's mouth could not help but twitch.

  In fact, although it is the 1990s, there is a difference of 20 or 30 years from the time before his rebirth.

  However, Zhao Guoyang still has a rough estimate of the price of this well-known brand product in the international market.

  With the reputation of JCB and the quality of its products, such a small rice transplanter would cost 20,000 US dollars anyway, and if converted into RMB, it would cost almost 200,000 US dollars.

  If Director Mu heard this price, would he be stunned? Zhao Guoyang really had some expectations.

   "Old Mu, the roasted pork with chestnut is ready, we can serve dinner!" Ding Yanhong's voice came from the kitchen.

   Mu Aijun waved to Mu Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, go help your mother bring the food."

  Hearing this, Mu Yiyi pouted again, and when she got up, she couldn't help but cast a blank look at Zhao Guoyang.

  Obviously, this eldest lady must feel that she has to work, but Zhao Guoyang can sit back and enjoy the benefits, and she is a little unhappy.

  Seeing this girl's displeasure, Zhao Guoyang secretly laughed: This Miss Yiyi seems to be about the same age as himself, right? Why is he such an old man, but still has a childish temper, but he is comparable to his own sister Zhao Xiaojing...

   Mu Aijun who was sitting next to him noticed the faint smile on Zhao Guoyang's face when he looked at his daughter, and his heart moved.

   Coughing and attracting Zhao Guoyang's attention, Mu Aijun changed the topic and chatted: "Guoyang, you just graduated last year, right? I remember your birthday was quite young, not yet twenty-three years old?"

  Zhao Guoyang was stunned for a moment, then immediately answered: "Director Mu, you will be twenty-three by the end of October."

   "Hehe, young and promising, young and promising!" Mu Aijun said with emotion.

   "By the way, Guoyang. Although you are still young, you can almost consider this lifelong event with consideration?" Mu Aijun said intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Guoyang did not doubt that he was there, shook his head and said, "Director, you should also know about my situation. Apart from our factory, there is also a small factory jointly established with a few friends. Now it is developing very smoothly. I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to fall in love..."

  After hearing what Zhao Guoyang said, Mu Aijun couldn't help but nodded.

   Indeed, Zhao Guoyang, the director of the factory, has always been aware of how busy he is.

   Let’s just talk about the 20 days. After he came back from the Samba country, he ran here and there again, and he never was idle at all.

   After a day or two, I will go to Siyang Group again, which is really hard.

Mu Aijun was just thinking about talking to Zhao Guoyang, when Ding Yanhong, who had just come out of the kitchen, heard the words, and immediately picked up the conversation: "Guoyang, from what you said, our old Mu really did something wrong. "

   "Young people, you should be given more free time. Like your factory, you work six days a week, and you have to work overtime on Sundays from time to time. How can it be done! It will make people exhausted!"

"That's right, Dad, there's something wrong with the system in your factory. You go to work at 7:30 in the morning, and you only have an hour and a half rest at noon. How can that be enough? We are in England, and the employees of the company don't go to work until 9:00 in the morning, okay? ?”

  Hearing the mother and daughter's turn to squeeze, Mu Aijun scratched his head for a while.

  Seeing the embarrassment of the factory manager, who said nothing in the factory, Zhao Guoyang couldn't stop laughing.
