Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"In my opinion, Mr. Joseph's worries are completely unnecessary. It is actually a good thing for us that your company's president did not express his support or disapproval on the spot."

After receiving the cross-border call from Joseph and knowing that there were some minor accidents, Lin Kaifeng was not worried at all. Instead, he took the initiative to comfort Joseph and told him to stay calm.

President Steve realized that Joseph was trying to convince the board of directors to place an early order for televisions with Northern Machine Company, but he actually had other intentions.

Although he saw it, President Steve did not point it out.

Instead, he clearly supported Joseph's idea.

This shows that President Steve also has certain ideas about in-depth cooperation with Northern Machinery Company.

In this way, many subsequent things will become much simpler.

If President Steve agreed on the spot and agreed with Lin Kaifeng and Joseph's ideas, it would make Lin Kaifeng feel confused.

The United States is a capital company in disguise of a country.

When considering anything, the business community always starts with its own interests.

Once the United States frees up its hands, it will inevitably deal a series of blows to the island nation's economy.

In this case, the share of island countries' exports to the United States will decrease year by year.

As one thing grows, another loses. In order to make up for the problem of a reduction in goods from the island nation, American retailers will definitely order similar goods from other countries.

Longguo, with its low production costs, will inevitably become their first choice.

Northern Machinery has a successful precedent of cooperation with Best Buy Group.

It is a foregone conclusion that the group will increase its orders for home appliances from Northern Machinery Company.

No matter who, no one can change this reality.

Because Northern Machinery can bring the greatest profits to Best Buy Group.

For the same TV, the cost price for Best Buy Group to purchase it from the island country may be one thousand US dollars.

If you replace it with a color TV produced in Longguo, the cost may be only five hundred to six hundred US dollars.

The price difference between the two is as much as half.

For a savvy businessman, where to go is not a difficult choice.

"Mr. Lin means that once President Steve is determined to cooperate, even if the company's directors come out to stop him, the president will still push forward the cooperation plan?"

On the other end of the line, Joseph asked uncertainly.

Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly and said, "I have never met President Steve, but I have some understanding of his business style."

"President Steve was able to turn a small electrical appliance store into a large electrical appliance group with chain stores all over the United States. This shows how profound President Steve's business acumen is."

"Your group will use part of the funds to form a joint venture with Northern Machinery Company, with Best Buy holding the majority of the shares, turning the joint venture into a completely American company."

“Although this method is more complicated, it can avoid many unexpected troubles. It will only benefit our future cooperation, not harm it.”

"It's not difficult for President Steve to see clearly the profits that this cooperation can bring. The reason why he didn't agree on the spot is probably because he was considering two issues."

"What two questions?"

Joseph said urgently.

“How to convince the group’s directors and executives, and secondly, whether to come and meet me in person.”

Hearing this, Joseph remained silent.

"Mr. Joseph, don't doubt my guess. Facts have proven that President Steve is a man of great courage and is very cautious. Once your group and Northern Machinery Company become strategic partners, he will definitely come here in person."

"After all, seeing is believing. With such a big collaboration, how could the head of the group not come over to inspect it in person?"

Lin Kaifeng comforted him, "Don't worry, it won't be long before we hear good news."

Afterwards, Lin Kaifeng and Joseph chatted about the current sales situation of Japanese electrical appliances in the United States.

Senior U.S. officials have expressed their intention to move the country's manufacturing industry overseas more than once.

Island countries are following suit and preparing to transfer their manufacturing industries overseas.

The two countries are the world's first and second largest economies respectively, and domestic labor costs are getting higher day by day.

Continue to keep a large number of industrial and manufacturing enterprises in the country.

Expensive labor costs and other expenditures will seriously hinder the development of other emerging industries.

Historically, the United States gradually transferred most of its heavy industry and manufacturing overseas in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Concentrate human and material resources to carry out technological research and development in the field of high science.

The island countries are doing just as well.

They start by importing cheap production materials from overseas, carry out deep processing and assembly domestically, and then sell the finished products to the world at prices hundreds or thousands of times higher than the import price of the materials.

It’s different in the past.

The cost of goods from island countries is getting higher and higher, and going abroad at this time is the wisest choice.

"Dangdangdang..."

There was a knock on the office door, and Lin Kaifeng raised his head and said, "Come in."

The next second, Assistant Bai Ru walked in from outside, and said with a happy face: "Report to the general manager, the master has made the latest progress in engine research, and called to invite you to come and inspect the results in person."

"I know that these retired masters will never let me down."

Lin Kaifeng left the office with a happy face.

He drove Bai Ru to the Institute of Science and Technology, which was more than ten kilometers away from the machinery company.

The Science and Technology Research Institute funded by Lin Kaifeng was originally intended to cultivate talents for the company's subsequent development and accumulate a wealth of research experience.

By having the old employees guide the new employees, we can ensure a continuous supply of scientific and technological personnel.

In view of this.

Half of the technical experts entering the institute are researchers in the semiconductor field.

The other half are retired employees from the Shenyang Diesel Engine Factory.

A large number of retired experts and retired workers helped Lin Kaifeng to train young technical backbones.

He also led the young people to carry out research and development work on engine upgrades.

Although the old masters have retired for many years, they have not lost any of their unique skills.

It's no exaggeration.

Even an eighth-level worker in his prime may not be a match for the old masters in the technical field.

Retirement does not mean that workers have lost the ability to innovate technology.

Quite the opposite.

Every retired master craftsman holds his breath in his heart.

After working with diesel engines all his life, he suddenly had some free time and retired to grow flowers and raise birds at home.

For the old masters, it is not a rest, but more like a torture.

Arriving at the vehicle testing ground of the research institute, Lin Kaifeng opened the car door and walked towards the masters in front.

Seeing Lin Kaifeng coming, Engineer Wang, who was once the chief engineer of Shenyang Diesel Engine Factory, went to greet him with a large number of retired experts and retired model workers.

At the same time, Lin Kaifeng saw a two-wheeled motorcycle and an agricultural tricycle parked behind the crowd.
