Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

A week later, Zhang Weiguo sat on the sofa in the hotel and asked Lin Qing who had just come in, "Have you investigated clearly?"

"Boss, there are three companies that can meet our needs according to your requirements. They are Schiess Machine Tool Factory, Gildemeister Group and Trumpf Group of Germany."

Zhang Weiguo nodded. Although he studied mechanics in his previous life, he only had a general understanding of the German industry in 1969. As for which well-known machine tool manufacturing companies there were, Zhang Weiguo needed to find someone to conduct a detailed investigation.

"Lin Qing, tell me the detailed information of these three companies." Zhang Weiguo leaned back slightly and said to Lin Qing.

"Okay, boss." After saying that, Lin Qing picked up the information in her hand and introduced it to Zhang Weiguo.

"Boss, first of all, it is the Schiess Machine Tool Factory, which was founded in 1857 and produced its first batch of machine tools in 1860. After more than 100 years of development, the Schiess Machine Tool Factory is a global leader in the production of extra-large and heavy-duty metal cutting machine tools, especially their vertical turning boring and milling centers and gantry mobile boring and milling centers, which meet the needs you mentioned before."

Zhang Weiguo drank some red wine and asked again: "What size of workpiece can the vertical turning boring and milling center and the gantry movable boring and milling machining center process?"

Zhang Weiguo purchased a lot of machine tools this time, from small screws to large aircraft bodies, Zhang Weiguo needed to be able to manufacture them, so he had different requirements for the types of machine tools.

The Schiess Machine Tool Factory mainly produces large machine tools, which happened to be part of Zhang Weiguo's requirements.

Lin Qing heard Zhang Weiguo's question, looked it up in the file, and said, "Boss, according to the data provided by the investigation company. The double-column vertical lathe (DC-VBM series) of the vertical turning, boring and milling center of the Heath Machine Tool Factory can process workpieces with a maximum diameter of 10 meters, a processing height of 8 meters, and a load-bearing capacity of 200 tons; the single-column vertical lathe (SC-VBM series) can process workpieces with a maximum diameter of 16 meters, a processing height of 14 meters, and a load-bearing capacity of 500 tons."

Lin Qing flipped through the file and continued, "The GanMill series of the Heath Machine Tool Factory has a column spacing of up to 10 meters, a horizontal X-axis travel of up to 30 meters, a horizontal Y-axis travel of up to 9 meters, and a load-bearing capacity of up to 500 tons. It is one of the largest machining centers in the world."

After Lin Qing finished speaking, Zhang Weiguo thought for a while and said, "Put the Heath Machine Tool Factory on the inspection list. I will go and talk to their boss in person later."

"Okay, boss." Lin Qing then asked, "Boss, do you still need to read the other two?"

"Read it!"

Zhang Weiguo was very busy this week. He visited several German companies and negotiated with them on conveying and packaging equipment.

Although these two devices are relatively easy to buy, Zhang Weiguo still wants more. In order to get a satisfactory price, Zhang Weiguo has been running around a lot these days.

Now is a good time to be lazy.

Lin Qing flipped through the documents in her hand and spoke again: "Boss, the Gildemeister Group is also a long-established machine tool manufacturer in Germany. Its predecessor can be traced back to 1870, when the German blacksmith Friedrich Gildemeister founded the Gildemeister Machine Tool Factory."

Lin Qing paused, and then continued: "According to the information provided by the investigation company, the Gildemeister Group should be one of the best metal cutting machine tool manufacturers in the world. At the same time, the information also shows that the Gildemeister Group is the second company to develop CNC machine tools after the Maurins Machinery Company. However..."

Hearing Lin Qing's hesitation, Zhang Weiguo opened his eyes and asked, "Don't worry."

"Huh..." Lin Qing took a deep breath and continued, "Will, the current chairman of the Gitmeyer Group, is not easy to get along with. In addition, their CNC machine tools are quite popular, so it may be difficult for us to buy directly from them."

Hearing Lin Qing's words, Zhang Weiguo smiled gently. Lin Qing should have been being euphemistic.

But it doesn't matter, Zhang Weiguo only wants machine tools, and everything else is trivial. At most, he can spend a little more money and buy it from the Gildemeister Group through other channels. Zhang Weiguo is still very greedy for CNC machine tools.

"It's okay. I will take care of this matter. Tell me about the situation of the Trumpf Group!"

Hearing Zhang Weiguo's words, Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief, flipped through the documents to find the introduction of the TRUMPF Group, and said:

"The German TRUMPF Group was founded in 1923, which means it has a history of 46 years. According to the data, TRUMPF Group is very strong in the field of industrial lasers and laser systems. It mainly produces various types of lasers and laser processing machines, as well as punching and bending machines, etc."

After hearing Lin Qing's introduction, Zhang Weiguo's eyes lit up. He was not shocked by the machine tools of the Trumpf Group, but remembered an introduction to lithography machines he had seen in his previous life.

In the introduction video of the lithography machine, Trumpf Group was mentioned. It is the only manufacturer in the world that can supply extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine light source. It can be seen that it has technical advantages in laser.

What Zhang Weiguo is thinking about now is not how to purchase machine tools from Trumpf Group, but whether he can acquire Trumpf Group.

Of course, it is definitely not possible now. After all, the TRUMPF Group is developing very well now, and the price Zhang Weiguo would have to pay for acquiring it would be quite high.

According to Zhang Weiguo's memory from his previous life, there would be an economic crisis in Germany in 1971, and Zhang Weiguo could take action at that time and acquire part of the shares of the TRUMPF Group.

At the same time, in 73, there will be an economic crisis that will affect the whole world. Zhang Weiguo plans to prepare in the next two years and buy up some German companies at the bottom. Of course, Amei cannot be missed.

Unfortunately, Zhang Weiguo only knew that there would be a world-class economic crisis from 1973 to 1975, but he did not know the specific rise and fall of the stock market, otherwise he would have taken the opportunity to make a fortune.

However, although he didn't know whether the stock market would rise or fall, Zhang Weiguo did not intend to miss this good opportunity.

Last month, Zhang Weiguo had people separate the arcade business of Zhonghua Electronics and the "Emperor's Secret" of Zhonghua Pharmaceutical and set up a company called Huaxing.

Zhang Weiguo will take Huaxing public in the near future. Zhang Weiguo believes that with the two businesses of arcade and "Emperor's Secret", Zhang Weiguo can make a fortune from the stock market.

When the economic crisis comes, Zhang Weiguo can short Huaxing Company in advance and make a fortune for himself, and at the same time he can buy back Huaxing's shares from the stock market at a very low price.

Moreover, Zhang Weiguo also borrowed money from HSBC, Citibank and other banks in 72 using the shares of the Flower Planting Group. Before the economic crisis broke out, the bank interest rates were still very low.

In this way, Zhang Weiguo was able to buy shares of many excellent companies at a bargain price.

After learning about the information of the three machine tool companies, Zhang Weiguo instructed Lin Qing: "Then let's go with these three. Book your flight tickets later and I will go to their companies to negotiate in person."

"Good boss."

Although these three companies are all in Germany, they are not in the same city, so Zhang Weiguo also needs to start flying between the cities.
