Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 131
Jiang Chen got off the plane and came to Deutschland, followed by Wang Hongyi, a stupid guy looking around. They made a special trip to Deutschland after parting with Deputy Factory Director Zhang after completing the trip to the United States.Jiang Chen himself planned to come alone, but this Wang Hongyi kept pestering Jiang Chen who was begging for nothing, and the deputy director Zhang was a little worried about Jiang Chen, so he asked Wang Hongyi to take care of him. .Jiang Chen had no choice but to bring along this guy who looked serious on the surface but was actually very wretched.No, this kid was staring at a stewardess all the way, and was drooling while wiping it from time to time.Although the uniforms of this era are far less sexy than later generations, but in Jiang Chen's point of view, they are still very good, so it's no wonder this kid is staring at him so glumly.

Before talking about the trip to Germany, let me tell you about this trip to the United States, otherwise you may have a lot of confusion.After the cooperation was reached, Jiang Chen and the others transported the equipment to the cargo ship.This means that Jiang Chen's main purpose of coming to Laomei has been fulfilled, and there is no need for so many people in the future.So Jiang Chen and the others asked these employees to go back to China with the equipment first, while Deputy Factory Manager Zhang had to wait for two days before going back to China with the technicians sent by Mark Company.Although Jiang Chen understands a lot of equipment here, after all, the industry has a specialization, and Jiang Chen only knows a little bit. It is necessary to rely on these technicians for installation and production, and the industry does not have so much time to spend here. .

Moreover, there is an agreement between the two parties that the Mark Company is obliged to help Jiang Chen and the others complete the technological upgrade of their production equipment, so this is not in vain, and Jiang Chen proposed that the Mark Company organize a group of technical personnel to come to China for guidance.And the mark company also has its own little Jiujiu, that is, to check on the ground what Jiang Chen's factory is like, and to urge them to deliver the goods quickly.Because the first batch of firearms they shipped to Laomei was sold out at this spring weapons promotion meeting, and now the orders are almost accumulating to a certain number, so they are very anxious.He never urged Jiang Chen to deliver the goods. Jiang Chen always said that the production capacity was insufficient, so he could only give priority to the manufacturers who had ordered before.However, Jiang Chen and the others also said that if they can complete the upgrading and transformation of production equipment as soon as possible to increase production, they will produce for them soon.Although Mark and the others knew it was Jiang Chen's bait, they still swallowed it. After all, no one wants to have trouble with money.

Speaking of the North American Spring Weapons Promotion Conference, Jiang Chen and the others actually participated.As the designer and producer of this weapon, they should make a show.Although this set of weapons was not favored at the beginning, it still made people's eyes shine when it was actually demonstrated.Its excellent performance, unique novel and very practical design, and very low price make it full of temptation.In this nation that advocates gun culture, how can it not arouse the enthusiasm of the people with such a gun that is excellent in all aspects.Soon this firearm aroused great repercussions among all the people who paid attention to it, and the first 100 sets of new firearms plus accessories and two kinds of [-] sniper rifles were also snapped up by the enthusiastic people.Those who didn't grab it all gathered around Mark's booth to ask when it would be officially sold.In the end, the mark company was also troubled, so they came up with this method of selling in advance, but they didn't expect that tens of thousands of them were pre-ordered in just a few days.Finally, the mark company was no longer calm, so there was such an incident.

Let's talk about the motorcycle project that Jiang Chen inspected in Laomei. This country is also one of the important producers of motorcycles in the world.There are many well-known motorcycle manufacturers among them, and they have produced many famous motorcycle brands.These famous motorcycles are known all over the world along with famous movies of their countries.And there's a lot of motorcycling in this country, especially in the big West.The characteristics of motorcycles that overcome hardships and obstacles, go forward bravely and advocate freedom are also deeply loved by the old Americans. Like pickups, they have special feelings in the hearts of the old Americans.Many of the major motorcycle races and gatherings that Jiang Chen is familiar with in later generations were held in Laomei. Jiang Chen had the opportunity to participate once, and the scene was really unforgettable.

Laomei is a country that advocates the supremacy of money and profit, and its technology is quite advanced. Of course, all this is also reflected in their motorcycles.As long as you have money, you can get anything, and it is the honeymoon period of the two countries, so equipment and technology should not be a problem.The only thing that worried Jiang Chen was the price. Sure enough, Jiang Chen visited several major manufacturers, and Jiang Chen was taken aback by the price they proposed.

First of all, under the leadership of Smith, Jiang Chen wanted to come to a very famous motorcycle manufacturer in Laomei. The motorcycles it produced are very famous, including in the society where automobiles are common in later generations. It was even an identification mark of Laomei.The motorcycles it produces have a high status in the hearts of friends all over the world (motorcycle friends, another name for motorcycle enthusiasts).Of course, Jiang Chen hopes to import the production line from here, because the technology here is not only advanced, but also the brand influence is very good, if it can be imported from here, it will save a lot of trouble for Jiang Chen and the others.

But as soon as this Jiang Chen inquired, the hope in his heart disappeared immediately.Any production line here is more than tens of millions, and it is the most basic.If you want to order a full set, it will cost at least tens of millions of dollars.The reason why this is so expensive is because Laomei's labor costs are relatively expensive.Therefore, in order to avoid such high labor costs, manufacturers have greatly increased the degree of automation.In layman's terms, if you can use the machine, you don't need people, but in this way, its cost will increase exponentially.Although Jiang Chen and the others have also communicated a lot, such as how the relationship between the two countries is, how huge our country's market is, and how great its potential is, this manufacturer also lowered the quotation appropriately.But the reduced price was still unacceptable to Jiang Chen and the others, so they could reluctantly give up.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen and the others also contacted some other manufacturers, including some small factories.But the information obtained is still not very satisfactory, and the price is still not very suitable.At that time, there were two small factories with relatively reasonable prices for the equipment, but when Jiang Chen excitedly went there for a field inspection, he was immediately disappointed. These equipments were very backward and dilapidated, and they were basically maintained by a few people. In a small factory, some processing equipment is not as good as Jiang Chen's factory now. Jiang Chen will definitely not want them, and if he wants them back, it will be a pile of scrap iron.

Considering that Laomei's equipment was not suitable, Jiang Chen decided to end the investigation here and go to Europe to see the situation there, so he took Wang Hongyi to bid farewell to Smith and they boarded the plane to Germany.
