Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 593 Your Factory Doesn’t Look Like It Makes Cars
Niu Xiaoqiang glanced at Zhang Guangmao and thought: Uncle Zhang probably came to see me for this reason. I don't know what happened to him that made him so embarrassed on the phone?
After everyone exchanged greetings, Fang Dongping said with a smile: "Xiaoqiang, this is not a place to entertain guests, let's welcome guests to the factory quickly."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and greeted the guests to walk towards the factory area.Because there were a lot of people present, Niu Xiaoqiang did not have an in-depth communication with Zhang Guangmao, and planned to wait until the reception banquet was over before speaking in private.

The logistics department of the Asia Machinery Factory has already prepared five sumptuous banquets. Most of the dishes are game from the mountains, and there are also fresh and tender river fish.Gao Desheng invited the best chef in the town, and every dish was cooked in a delicious and delicious way.

After everyone entered the cafeteria, Niu Xiaoqiang personally arranged the seats.He arranged a few main characters at one table, and the rest sat cross-seated to ensure that each table had a companion and would not neglect any guest.

There were not many people sitting on the headed table. Apart from Fang Dongping, Niu Xiaoqiang, Zhang Guangmao and Smith, there were only Zhou Hongbao, Song Zhiyi and Niu Dazhuang.

Niu Xiaoqiang was the youngest, and he personally opened the bottle cap and poured wine for everyone.After filling the wine, Fang Dongping, the oldest person, raised his glass first: "Welcome everyone to visit the Asia Machinery Factory. On behalf of all the colleagues in the Asia Machinery Factory, I would like to respect all the distinguished guests!"

Others raised their glasses one after another. Niu Xiaoqiang was sitting next to Smith. When he saw that Smith was going to toast like everyone else, he quickly reminded: "Smith, you'd better drink slowly. People get drunk easily."

Smith followed Niu Xiaoqiang's advice and only took a sip.Since he was a foreigner, everyone didn't mind.

"Hiss—it's so spicy, I didn't expect Chinese baijiu to be stronger than brandy, especially when it's in the mouth, it's like burning."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "This is still a relatively mild wine, I didn't take out the stronger wine, otherwise you will not be able to bear it even more."

Smith is not very good at using chopsticks. Niu Xiaoqiang specially brought him a set of knives and forks, and then introduced the dishes on the table with a smile.Smith likes Chinese food very much, and he is full of praise while eating.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Niu Xiaoqiang began to inquire about the news: "Smith, what is the current stage of your oil field construction?"

Smith gnawed a pheasant leg in his mouth, "The place is a bit out of the way. The road and the barracks have not been repaired yet. It is estimated that it will take two to three months to complete. The next step is the installation of oil extraction equipment."

If the infrastructure is not built, even if the oil is produced, there is no way to transport it out.Niu Xiaoqiang snorted: "How much equipment are you planning to purchase this time? What are the specifications?"

Smith put down the cleanly gnawed chicken thigh and glanced at Niu Xiaoqiang: "You seem to be engaged in automobile manufacturing, right? Do you understand the oil industry?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "In addition to making cars, my factory also processes some parts for oil production equipment, so I still know something about it."

Smith felt a little surprised when he entered the factory gate.He has personally visited many automobile factories in Europe.Their factories are very large, at least ten times larger than the Asia Machinery Factory. What he wondered was, could the Asia Machinery Factory really be able to manufacture cars with such a small footprint?
At this moment, Smith was even more surprised to hear that the Asia Machinery Factory not only manufactures cars, but also processes parts for oil production equipment. Compared with other car factories I have seen, your area is too small, I did not expect that you not only manufacture cars, but also operate other businesses, how do you arrange the space?"

Even if Smith strayed from the topic, Niu Xiaoqiang could only patiently explain: "It's very simple, we only produce the most core parts, and all the less core parts are purchased from other manufacturers, so we don't Too many supporting production lines are needed, and there are tens of thousands of spare parts for a truck. If we produce all of them ourselves, it may not be enough to expand the scale of the factory by a hundred times.”

Smith let out a sigh, and said frankly: "To be honest, if I knew that your factory is of this scale, I would definitely not have signed that contract with you at the beginning. No matter how you look at it, you are not like a car factory. ah."

Niu Xiaoqiang said heartily: When I signed the contract, I only had three small cave factories, and the 311 factory didn’t belong to me, and I didn’t even have the qualifications to enter the automobile industry. If you knew these things, what would you do? How do you feel?
Although he thought so in his heart, he appeared very imposing on the surface: "Smith, don't judge people by their appearance, and don't be blinded by your own eyes. The order I signed with you has already been completed, and it is estimated that it will arrive on the contract in a few days." The designated port, I can assure you that the quality and performance of these trucks are not inferior to similar products in Western countries. You bought such superior products at an extremely low price. Cheap."

Smith hesitated: "Is this really the case?"

Niu Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes, pretending to be displeased and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see our products later, and I promise to open your eyes."

Smith thought that Niu Xiaoqiang was going to pull an order, so he quickly reminded: "I am here to purchase oil extraction equipment this time, and I have no plan to purchase trucks, so don't get me wrong."

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed: "I didn't force you to sign the contract, what are you afraid of?"

Smith picked up a chicken wing with a dry smile: "You guys are so warm, I always feel embarrassed, how about this, if you have time to go to Africa next time, I promise to entertain you well, so we can be friends Evened out."

As long as he was not talking about business matters, Smith seemed easy to talk about, but when it came to business, he immediately became very principled.

Niu Xiaoqiang knew a little bit about his character, and nodded with a smile: "No problem, I will definitely go to Africa to see your family's industry if I have the chance."

Smith nodded with a smile: "You asked me what equipment I was going to purchase this time. You should ask Mr. Zhang this question. I can't tell a third party without his permission."

Niu Xiaoqiang had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​inquiring about the situation in advance, and greeted everyone to eat and drink wholeheartedly.

A meal lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, and then we broke up happily.
