Chapter 88

China has a population of 560 million. This is the latest statistical data. In the 18 years of the "Peaceful Age", China's population has reached a point where the entire world has to pay attention. This is a huge market, and it also allows China to

It has always been a headache for the government. With so many people needing to eat, how to solve the problem of food and clothing? These cannot be solved with words. China's agricultural department has made a lot of efforts and done countless unknown tasks. The government has done a lot of work in agriculture.

Investment in science and technology has always been at the forefront of various scientific and technological research. China has the largest agricultural population and the largest agricultural science and technology team. This is the result of eighteen years of education. Every province in the country needs agricultural schools.

, every town must have an agricultural science and technology station.

Even so, it will take unremitting efforts to solve the problem of food and clothing for the whole people. It is not that agricultural personnel do not work hard, but that the current agricultural output is too low. The developed textile industry on the eastern coast and even in the Yangtze River Basin has basically solved the problem of wearing clothes.

, but the food gap always exists, and food needs to be imported every year.

After Fang Jianxiong arrived in the United States, the first order he placed was a grain purchase order worth 200 million U.S. dollars. There is no doubt that this is a very clear signal. Fang Jianxiong brought a huge order. Not only national procurement, but also

The big one is private procurement. What do the Chinese need? Americans know this very well. Food seems to be very important, but in fact it is not what the Chinese want most. In the past, Americans did not know how to produce high-tech products.

For example, high-precision machine tools, large hydraulic presses, engine production lines, material technology, etc. But this time the United States can't take care of these!

A large number of banks have closed down, and a quarter of the population is unemployed. How to solve this problem is the most important thing at the moment. Whether we can get orders from the Chinese is the most important. Products produced in factories are piled in warehouses and sold as scrap metal.

No one wants them. The freighters parked in the dock can't even be paid for maintenance, and they can't even be sold for scrap metal prices. As long as someone pays US dollars to buy them, there's no fear that no one will be willing to sell them.

There are many rich people in New York, but there are also many rich people who have gone bankrupt in recent years, and ordinary people have lost more jobs. The most important thing for these people every day is to line up to receive some free bread and hot soup provided by the government.

For bankrupts and unemployed people, how to survive is the most important issue. For business owners who are about to go bankrupt, how to preserve their poor possessions is the most important issue. It should be said that these entrepreneurs are still

I was very lucky. I had some possessions to sell, unlike those bankers who went bankrupt and jumped from the building in the first wave of the stock market crash. They even lost their lives.

"Mr. Derleth, what we need is very clear in the document. I don't want to repeat it, but look at the answer you gave me. The technology of this old steam turbine was developed twenty years ago.

With the technology, what am I going to do? Produce inland barges?" Chen Zhaokeng, who appeared on a slipway with a team of twenty technicians, looked completely arrogant. The tone of his words made Derleth opposite him feel...

The urge to strangle this guy.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. Our company will never transfer the technology of new steam turbines. If you need finished products, we can provide the highest quality and most advanced steam turbine products in the world." Derleth resisted the impulse and continued the conversation patiently.

That's what negotiations are like, and it's normal to go back and forth.

Once upon a time, Chinese people were so humble when facing foreigners, but now... Haha! The rich are the bosses, okay? Chen Zhaokeng stood up without saying anything, and said with a smile: "Then there is no need to talk?

Goodbye, Mr. Dress. Let's go to the next one. We are very busy today. We have to visit at least five companies to discuss cooperation." Chen Zhaokeng turned around, and Dress was stunned on the spot, and then rushed forward as if his butt was on fire.

Pulling Chen Zhaokeng's sleeve, he shyly replied: "Chen, we can continue to talk, such as the cooperation you just mentioned."

Chen Zhaokeng couldn't hide his pride and turned around with a smile: "Mr. Derleth, do you think we still have the basis for cooperation? It seems that you are not the only one with similar technology, right?"

Dres hurriedly said: "Of course there is a basis for cooperation, and our company's sincerity is still very high."

Chen Zhaokeng said: "In that case, let's continue talking. We can find someone to buy all the ships on the slipway, including semi-finished products. Of course, the price must be right. But the steam turbine production line and technical information I need, including material synthesis technology, must be

As a prerequisite for cooperation, if this still does not satisfy you, we can cooperate to produce the latest steam turbines in China. We hold 51% of the shares. This is the bottom line, otherwise don’t waste everyone’s time.”

Similar negotiations are taking place across the United States. For example, in Detroit, Eurasia Jiangnan Automobile Group, Shanghai Automobile Group, Tianjin Northern Automobile Group, and Northeastern Shenyang Automobile Group. These companies that should be competitors actually joined forces to raid Detroit. No.

Wrong, it's just a raid. Whatever China doesn't have and needs, someone will use US dollars to tell the Americans, I want this thing, and you can give me a suitable price.

Detroit is the Motor City, the arsenal of a democratic country during World War II. What does this city’s manufacturing industry mean to the United States? What are the salient features of this city’s population structure? And other questions, Chinese companies like this have done sufficient research before coming here.

Research. The words "open your eyes and see the world" are not just words. After more than ten years of accumulation, Chinese entrepreneurs are no longer so easy to fool, and Chinese people are no longer as inferior to themselves as they used to be. In fact

After experiencing the Sino-Japanese War, the European War, and the Siberian War, the inferiority complex of the Chinese people can be said to have been basically eliminated. Some democrats even clamored that "the Chinese Empire is back"! Of course, such people are a minority. Domestic

After many entrepreneurs actually came to the United States, they were still severely shocked by the degree of industrialization in the United States. However, with the dollars in their pockets, these entrepreneurs quickly found a stronger power in the Americans' lowly manner.

Self-confidence.

Yes, it's just low-spirited. Especially in cities like Detroit, Americans don't have much energy. There are a large number of broken-down companies that no one wants, and a large number of unemployed people are queuing up on the streets waiting for relief. The Chinese talents who took the lead before

The recruitment operation has allowed these Chinese entrepreneurs to see through the weakness of Americans.

The economic crisis has certainly had a strong impact on many small and medium-sized enterprises in eastern China. However, in the process of this impact, Chinese enterprises began to transform, product transformation, and market transformation. The inland market derived from the huge population base and the sustained and rapid economic development

, these will soon be available in the economy

Chinese companies that woke up from the storm have found new development directions. With the introduction of the Chinese government's new economic policy, the government has vigorously invested in infrastructure construction, vigorously supported heavy industry, and vigorously supported high-tech industries. After the policy was launched, almost overnight

, these Chinese companies have regained their vitality.

To give a very simple example, as far as Norinco Group is concerned, which produces engineering equipment, government orders alone are enough for Norinco Group to produce for ten years. The current problem is insufficient production capacity. Those who also face insufficient production capacity are

Similar enterprises. The cabinet's policy of increasing infrastructure construction to stimulate the economy naturally responded enthusiastically to the provinces. At the same time, they also followed the same path, and local finances began to tilt in these directions.

You know, which company was able to survive the first two years of the economic crisis did not have a constant relationship with the government.

If production capacity is insufficient, there will be no problem of market competition, so these companies will join forces to cause trouble for the Americans. For example, Ford Motor, which has never been so enthusiastic about the Chinese market, is very good. When negotiating with the Chinese Shenyang Automobile,

He actually sold an old production line for a huge price, and even threatened that Chinese people only deserved to ride horse-drawn carriages.

Just like this, Ford, which was very talkative at the time, soon tasted the bitter pill. It was originally rumored that Chinese companies would cooperate with Ford and buy Ford's latest production lines. Ford's stock price rose, but only half a month later

Everything has changed. Ford’s peers have spread good news and have reached large-scale deals with Chinese companies.

Cooperation Agreement. After Chinese entrepreneurs stayed in Detroit for two weeks, they held a press conference and stated that the commercial activities of the China Automobile Industry Alliance (provisionally established) in the United States have basically ended. During this period, they reached a three-valued agreement with their American automobile counterparts.

Billion-dollar procurement and cooperation plans. After the press conference, Ford's stock fell to the bottom.

Ford, who recognized the reality, quickly went to find people from the China Automobile Industry Alliance to discuss cooperation. With the mediation of the U.S. government, some cooperation projects were reluctantly reached. But compared to Ford's peers, it was really not worth it.

I mentioned it. The reason is very simple. After scientific and rigorous investigation, the Chinese market needs at least 80,000 cars this year. The reality is that China’s total car production capacity adds up to only 30,000 cars a year.

Moreover, the sales of these 80,000 cars are still increasing year by year. This news was announced at this time, and in just one week, major American car companies were alive. The cars cannot be sold in the United States, no problem, sell them to China

.All the trucks in stock of major automobile companies have been bought by Chinese businessmen. Although the price is only 80% of the cost price and shipping costs are included, the headquarters is countless times better if it is rotten in the warehouse.

In less than two months, the United States was shocked by the fighting power of the wealthy Chinese people!

"Are you still worried about the machine tools being produced rusting in warehouses? Go to the Chinese. As long as the price is right, they will buy it! Are you still worried about the maintenance costs of the ships parked in the dock? Go to China.

People,..." This is the headline of the famous American newspaper The Wall Street Journal on January 30, 1932.

Let’s not mention the industrial technology, equipment, and products that Chinese entrepreneurs need to sweep through the United States like locusts crossing the border, and continue to follow the development from the perspective of the protagonist. Fang Jianxiong, who traveled across the United States to Washington, met U.S. President Hoover for the first time.
