Chapter 294 Signing a Contract to Transfer the Factory, the United States Raised Its Financial Scythe

Got cheated…

Shen Dong was stunned for a few seconds.

The person who purchased this integrated die-casting machine for him and recommended it to him was his brother, who has been a close friend since he was a child.

If it is true as Hua Ming said, this 6,000-ton integrated die-casting machine is worth 120 million, how much rebates are there?

80 million?

He calculated the discount, 40 million.

With a rebate of 40 million units, he purchased ten units, and 400 million was swallowed up like this?

Out of trust in his brother, Shen Dong questioned: "Just looking at the shell, how did you, Chief Hua, tell that the core is an island country?"

"It's very simple." Hua Ming reached out and touched the shell of the machine and explained: "The mold clamping process is different. The island's core die-casting machines generally use metal locking columns to increase the clamping force, while Germany uses high-pressure mold clamping. The latter The craftsmanship is obviously higher. If you still think this is a serious German device, you can take it apart and look inside. The parts should have the Japanese characters on them."

Shen Dong: "..."

Silence fell.

He was completely silent.

If what Hua Ming said is true, how much kickback did his brother Lai Weijie receive?

You know, he is responsible for all equipment procurement at Brilliance Longhua Factory.

A little here, a little there, Shen Dong also suddenly realized, no wonder Lai Weijie went to Sanya to buy a duplex villa. It turned out that he was using money from the group to enrich himself.

"Lai Weijie, this bitch, I'm going to fuck you," Shen Dong cursed in his heart and silently clenched his fists.

Just when he was about to call and question, Hua Ming suddenly changed the subject and said: "Although it is an internal core on the island, it is indeed a good thing. Integrated casting is the future trend."

Perhaps many people do not know the specific process of integrated casting.

In the past car manufacturing process, parts were produced by machine welding. Generally speaking, the chassis alone would have close to tens of thousands of welding points.

Integrated die-casting is different. It only needs to prepare the die-casting mold in advance and fill it with liquid metal, usually aluminum alloy liquid. When these two things are ready, you can use high pressure to press the liquid metal into the mold and wait for solidification and cooling. .

To put it simply, integrated die-casting is a bit like the plasticine you played with when you were a child. When you press the plasticine into the mold, it will become a variety of specific shapes, and you don't need to manually knead it.

"Let's look at die-casting machines of other tonnages." Shen Dong stopped worrying about the issue of rebates and settled the accounts later.

"Trouble."

Chen Xing followed closely.

There are 6,000-ton die-casting machines that manufacture body chassis, and 1,500-ton, 2,000-ton die-casting machines that produce parts.

It has to be said that judging from the equipment in the die-casting workshop alone, Shen Dong definitely wants to build his own cars and run the Brilliance Longhua brand well.

Because if you just want to get subsidies, you won’t buy such an advanced machine.

Integrated die-casting machine, this is a car-making concept that is five years ahead. No wonder Brilliance Group can go bankrupt with BMW Brilliance. The money was originally spent on this place.

After visiting the die-casting workshop, Shen Dong took Chen Xing and others to the body shop, painting shop, battery shop and final assembly shop.

From the metal liquid to the final product, the steps for a car are extremely complicated, and Shen Dong also explained it with all his heart.

"The final assembly workshop is equivalent to house decoration. The final car interior is installed, as well as the front and rear headlights. There are also corresponding test steps. Only if they all pass can we allow closed testing."

After finishing the story, Shen Dong looked at Chen Xing and asked again: "Mr. Chen, do you have any questions?"

"I think everything is pretty good." Chen Xing looked at Ren Guofei and Rebus beside him, wanting to hear their opinions.

"good."

"The equipment is really good."

The two of them echoed.

Hua Ming also nodded. He also felt that Brilliance Group's automobile production plant was capable and more advanced than other domestic factories.

If it can be won, building new energy vehicles will also save a lot of time.

"Then..." Shen Dong first glanced at Song Weiguo, his pupils flashed with anxiety, and then looked at Chen Xing and said: "Your second quotation is..."

The first offer was 10 billion, but Shen Dong did not agree.

10 billion may seem like a lot, but for the foreign debt owed by Brilliance Group, it is barely enough to cover it.

Chen Xing did not answer in a hurry, but gave Hua Ming a look. The two of them, including Ren Guofei and Rebus, came to one side to discuss the final factory quotation.

"Tell me what you think."

Chen Xing looked at Hua Ming.

Now he is the only one here who knows about new energy vehicles. They can only negotiate with Shen Dong if they know the specific price of the factory.

The same is true for Rebus and Ren Guofei, waiting for Hua Ming's analysis.

"RMB 13 billion is not a loss. Not to mention such a large venue, the equipment alone is already worth more than RMB 8 billion. Moreover, it is brand-new equipment and has never been mass-produced. It is not a loss to save time and cost. "

His quote of 13 billion is not nonsense. The equipment in the die-casting workshop and stamping workshop is worth billions, not to mention the equipment in the body shop, painting shop, battery shop and final assembly shop.

Having ready-made equipment can save time and cost, which can play a decisive role in future layout.

"13 billion."

Chen Xing looked at Ren Guofei and Rebus.

All three of them are billionaires, so they naturally know how to negotiate.

When the four people completed their discussion and returned to Shen Dong, Chen Xing made a direct quotation: "We just discussed it. Mr. Shen, your factory is indeed very good, but the equipment, such as the die-casting machine, is a bit poor, so Our second round offer is 11 billion."

"That's right."

Rebus agreed and added: "If the die-casting machine is imported from Germany, then we can give it 12 billion."

"Think about 11 billion. We are the only ones in the entire Dragon Kingdom who can pay you 11 billion in cash flow."

Ren Guofei smiled lightly.

The automotive field is a red ocean. It's not that there are too many competing manufacturers, but that people in the Dragon Kingdom generally don't recognize domestically produced cars.

Of course.

You can't blame anyone else.

After spending hundreds of thousands of savings to buy a car, who wouldn’t want to buy it back and drive it longer? German and Japanese cars with better value retention and quality control naturally become the first choice brands.

Before the concept of "domestic backwardness" changed, there were basically no companies that spent tens of billions to build cars, and those that did were only joint venture models.

"Okay, that's the price."

Shen Dong readily agreed.

Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Rebus were all confused by their non-counteroffer attitude. They originally wanted to reach the 12 billion range, but they gave 11 billion as a footing.

When several people were confused, Shen Dong expressed his thoughts and said: "If the BMW Group doesn't let go, I won't be able to build the car I want, and if the factory is idle for a day, I will lose tens of thousands, so I might as well transfer it as a favor." Forget it."

"The most important thing is that if we continue to negotiate, it will only cost a few hundred million. It is not worth delaying Chief Song's affairs for this small amount of money."

It is clear.

He was selling favors to Song Weiguo.

Because in Fengtian, if he could connect with Song Weiguo, he would be willing to spend billions, not to mention hundreds of millions.

"That won't work." At this time, Chen Xing stood up and said: "We can't take advantage of it, so let's buy it for 12 billion."

Do you want Song Weiguo to owe a favor?

He wouldn't agree.

Don't look at Shen Dong as a fool, but think carefully about what he said. He wanted Song Weiguo to owe him a favor, and also Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Rebus to owe him a favor. This was a big deal. pit.

What people in business like them fear most is debts of gratitude. If they don't repay them, it will be bad for their reputation if word spreads about them.

Moreover, because of his own affairs, Chen Xing felt sorry for causing Song Weiguo to owe a favor. After all, they had even helped him build a nuclear power plant, so there was no need for him to go through this muddy water again.

"Sign the contract."

Ren Guofei also echoed.

He also knew what Shen Dong wanted, but they didn't want to owe any favors.

Seeing that Chen Xing and others were not fooled, Shen Dong did not persist. He really did not dare to waste Song Weiguo's time and responded: "Then go to my office and we will draw up a contract."

"Let's go."

"Walk."

Several people walked towards the office of the automobile factory.

…

Signing a factory transfer contract is very simple, not as complicated as acquiring a company, and the terms basically don’t mention any pitfalls.

Less than half an hour.

The transfer contract is signed.

The contract was made in five copies, with Shen Dong keeping one copy, Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Rebus each holding one copy, and the other copy being given to a lawyer trusted by all four parties for safekeeping.

"We will arrange payment as soon as possible."

Chen Xing stood up.

"Okay." Shen Dong also stood up, and the two shook hands and said, "Then I won't disturb you and Chief Song's discussion, but you two, Mr. Ren and Mr. Lei, have to give me some face."

He didn't dare to stay with Chen Xing because Song Weiguo wanted to talk things over.

Rebus was different from Ren Guofei. If he didn't entertain guests warmly, it would appear that he was too unenthusiastic.

"Mr. Shen just arranges it."

"That's right."

Rebus and Ren Guofei responded with smiles.

"You guys chat first, I will go to the appointment first. If you have anything, please send me a WeChat message." Chen Xing looked at Ren Guofei and others and said.

"Go ahead, don't keep the Song leader waiting for long." Ren Guofei waved his hand.

After briefly greeting several bosses, Chen Xing walked straight towards the die-casting workshop without stopping for a moment.

Arriving next to Song Weiguo's car, Chen Xing said hello: "It's all done, Chief Song, where are we going now?"

"Go to my place."

Song Weiguo extended an invitation.

The guard sitting in the back seat also understood very well. He quickly opened the door and got out of the car, and sat in the passenger seat.

Chen Xing sat in the back seat and closed the car door neatly.

Seeing that everyone was seated securely, the guard who was driving the car immediately started the vehicle, turned around, and drove towards the exit of the Longhua Automobile Factory.

After the vehicle started, Song Weiguo looked sideways at Chen Xing and said in a tone of admiration: "You are really capable of doing things. You are working with our Fengtian Military Region on the East China Electric Power Diversion Project to the South, and you are working on the Skynet plan with Zhao Chenguang."

"You know everything?"

Chen Xing showed an embarrassed smile.

Can it be tossed?

He just wants to grow the company.

"Don't you know?" Song Weiguo withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead: "For this plan, Zhao Chenguang convened all the research institutes and rocket launch bases in the space field overnight, and he just had to invite the old chief to take charge of the overall situation."

"So cruel..."

Chen Xing marveled in his heart, it was Zhao Chenguang who was at the critical moment.

After learning about it, he replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Maybe Director Zhao feels that the satellite base station has development prospects. After all, if the construction is completed, the 5G network will cover the world."

"That's the truth."

Song Weiguo nodded, changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Your photolithography factory is sure to be able to mass-produce chips, right?"

"If the energy source is stable, mass production will definitely be no problem."

Chen Xing responded confidently.

"That's good." Song Weiguo looked at Chen Xing again and explained his thoughts: "When the construction is completed, if there is excess production capacity, we can try to take military orders."

"Military industry order?"

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and said: "Chief Song, you don't want to hand over military-type chips to us for production, do you?"

"Otherwise?" Song Weiguo asked back, and then said with a smile: "The only company that can produce 13.5 nanometer extreme ultraviolet light is you, Longxing Technology."

The chip is the brain of the machine. Whether it is a fighter jet flying in the sky or a submarine hiding in the deep sea, they all have their own high-performance chips.

In the past, due to the limitations of photolithography machines, performance requirements for military and aerospace chips were secondary, and durability was generally pursued.

But if the problem of the lithography machine is solved, it would be a shame for these technological breakthroughs if it does not improve the performance of the chip.

"Don't be too happy too early. Chip design takes time. We won't give you an order in the near future. I just want to give you a heads up."

Song Weiguo said again.

Chen Xing naturally understands the complexity of chip design, and also promised: "Understand, as long as the photolithography factory is put into mass production, we will accept orders for both civilian and military applications."

The semiconductor pie is huge, and even if he can’t take the chip foundry field, there will still be Gao Yongming’s Loongson International.

…

Just as Chen Xing and Song Weiguo were talking, the time in Washington, the United States, on the other side of the ocean, had just reached zero o'clock.

It had been brewing for three days, and a storm that could sweep the world suddenly came.

[With the unanimous vote of Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and Morgan Stanley, and the unanimous approval of the Chamber of Commerce, starting today, the interest rate on depositors’ deposits will be increased to 2%, with a maximum of 5%. Global funds are welcome to invest in Rice and make profits. ]

The Federal Reserve Bank of America suddenly released an announcement on its official website, which caused a lot of heat. At the same time, various official departments of the United States, as well as various large American banks, immediately followed the report.

All of a sudden.

American netizens were completely excited.

[Jermaine Janus]: "Oh my God, what did I see? Up to 5% interest on savings?"

[David Lyons]: "Oh my God! My God! My God! 5%! Has God shown his spirit? This is 5%!!!"

[Agulia]: "Today is not April Fools' Day, right? The highest deposit interest is 5%. My God, I think I can save until the bank collapses. I'm not kidding!"

Some are happy, some are sad.

Such high deposit interest rates made American stock investors begin to cry.

[Joseph Holena]: "Gift crab, with such a high deposit interest rate, the stock market will definitely collapse, and history will remember this day!"

[Neri Domingos]: "What genius came up with this idea, I really want to kick his ass!"
