Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 845 Uncle Sam
Packard knew what Niu Xiaoqiang was thinking when he saw Niu Xiaoqiang's expression. He sighed and said helplessly: "There were originally more than 20 scientific researchers here. Later, due to economic reasons, the laboratory had to reduce expenses. , and now there are only five people left."

Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated, "Where did the other person go?"

"He's been busy applying for a patent these days, and the time should be around here."

As soon as Packard finished speaking, a loud voice came from the back door: "Little Packard, don't think about patents, no matter what you say, I will not agree to sell the patents cheap!"

Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head and saw a thin old man coming in from the back door.This person has gray hair, wears an old style windbreaker, and has a messy beard, and he can be seen as a slovenly person.

The seemingly rebellious Packard immediately became cautious when facing the old man, and he showed embarrassment: "Uncle Sam, I don't mean to sell the patent, don't get me wrong. "

Packard felt a little embarrassed after speaking, and explained to Niu Xiaoqiang in a low voice: "Uncle Sam is the chief engineer of Packard Motors and has worked in the company for nearly 40 years. He has great affection for the company, even if the company No matter how difficult it was, he never chose to leave."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly, and said in his heart: He is the veteran of the company, no wonder Packard respects him so much.

Sam took off the windbreaker, threw it on the armchair, and asked in a questioning tone: "Little Packard, what does this oriental man do? Why did you bring him to the laboratory?"

Packard hurriedly explained the VAM agreement, and after hearing this, Sam looked at Niu Xiaoqiang in surprise: "Little guy, are you sure you want to do this?"

Everyone knew that the Packard Motor Company was about to be completely ruined. At this time, there were still people willing to take a stake in it, and even signed a gambling agreement, which seemed a little unbelievable to Sam.

Niu Xiaoqiang showed a very respectful smile: "Mr. Sam, there is no need to doubt my determination. I hope that we can work together in the future to reverse the unfavorable situation and bring Packard Motors back to life."

When Sam heard this, he smiled and said: "You are quite good at talking, I hope you are not a person who can only talk about it."

Niu Xiaoqiang has realized Sam's lofty status in the company, and if he wants to implement his plan smoothly, he must get Sam's full support, otherwise it will delay things.

Through Niu Xiaoqiang's short-term observation, he has seen that Sam is a stubborn person, but also very arrogant.If nothing else, his arrogance all comes from his skills.

You can't be too blunt when dealing with this kind of person. You have to try your best to open up the situation. As long as you gain the favor of the other party, you can easily establish a good personal relationship with the other party.

Niu Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Of course I am not a person who can only talk about things. I also have certain skills. Of course, compared with Uncle Sam, my skills are not enough."

Niu Xiaoqiang is throwing bricks to attract jade, deliberately revealing that he is a knowledgeable person, and when Sam is interested, he can take the opportunity to discuss and communicate with the other party, so as to show his strength.

Niu Xiaoqiang knew that it was useless to just say good things to people like Sam, you must have the ability to show it, otherwise the more you say good things, the more disgusted the other party will be.

Sam really became interested. He tilted his head and asked, "How old are you this year? Where did you learn the technology?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said truthfully: "This year, you learned all my skills from my master. Although I am young, I have been learning from my master for more than ten years."

Not only Sam, but the other three people present all showed surprise when they heard this statement.Especially Linda, she said dumbfounded: "That is to say, when you were only a few years old, you learned car technology from your master?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile: "To be precise, I started learning before I was seven years old. Of course, what I learned at that time was not automobile-related technology, but industrial processing technology."

Sam seemed a little unconvinced, and asked: "Which aspect of industrial processing technology?"

"Mainly processing mechanical parts, such as bearings, drive shafts, etc."

Sam heard the words and pointed to the equipment placed in a corner of the laboratory: "There is a high-precision CNC machine tool there, don't lie, or we can verify it right away."

Sam seemed to be trying to embarrass Niu Xiaoqiang on purpose. It didn't mean that he was difficult to get along with others, but that he deliberately wanted to investigate Niu Xiaoqiang and see who the new largest shareholder who joined the company was.

If it turns out that Niu Xiaoqiang is indeed a talent, Sam doesn't mind cooperating with his work.If Niu Xiaoqiang is not that material, then I'm sorry, just stay where it's cool, even if he's the company's largest shareholder, don't even think about telling him what to do.

Don't underestimate people like Sam. His prestige in the company is very high. If you can't establish a good relationship with him, he can pull people against you with a wave of arms.If you use administrative means to suppress him forcibly, he can easily resign with the company's key technical personnel.This is a very fatal thing.

Therefore, even though Sam's tone was full of unfriendliness, Niu Xiaoqiang had to lower his posture.Anyway, he is very confident in his skills, so let's do the inspection, it's no big deal.

He smiled slightly: "Mr. Sam can tell at a glance that he is a real person. In order to make your Excellency feel completely at ease with me, I can demonstrate it on the spot."

Sam hummed: "Then go and demonstrate."

A group of people walked to the machine tool, and Sam reminded: "This machine tool is not cheap, be careful, don't break it."

Niu Xiaoqiang once saw this machine tool in the MIT laboratory. According to Professor Watson, such a machine tool is worth 180 million US dollars in the United States, but in China—sorry, it is impossible to buy it in China, people Not selling to you at all.

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I promise not to damage the machine tool. If it is damaged, I will compensate according to the original price."

After Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he began to check the status of the machine tool. He followed the procedures in the manual. The ignorant Packard and others couldn't understand it, but Sam could see the way right away.He thought to himself: It seems that this kid is really not talking big, but he just doesn't know what his technical level is?
