Qingyuan Heavy Industry
Lin Sanqi, accompanied by Section Chief Song and Qingyuan Heavy Industry boss Ye Mingshuang, toured the factory with a group of people.
Ye Mingshuang was wearing a suit and tie in the hot weather, looking very formal. It was obvious that he attached great importance to this cooperation.
"Mr. Lin, we at Qingyuan Heavy Industry currently produce eight categories of construction machinery, covering a very wide range of products, with a total of 47 models. Among them, concrete mixers are our flagship product, ranking among the top three in domestic sales."
Lin Sanqi didn't know anything about mechanical products, nor did Qiao Jingzhu, the manager of the 3721 Import and Export Company. However, they had hired professional employees who could act as a checkpoint checker.
So leave professional matters to professionals, and Lin Sanqi just needs to pay the bill in the end.
Looking at the somewhat empty factory, Lin Sanqi was puzzled:
"Brother Ye, the domestic real estate market is booming right now, especially in our economically developed coastal areas. Logically, your business of engineering machinery should be very popular. Building houses and roads requires these. Why do I see your factory..."
Ye Mingshuang could only smile bitterly:
"Director Lin, don't say you have doubts, I am also full of confusion.
When I returned from studying abroad, I was attracted by the booming real estate and infrastructure industries, so I invested 2 billion yuan in this factory.
I made some money at the beginning, but as you know, our industry is asset-intensive, technology-intensive, and scientific research-intensive, and all the money I earned was invested in upgrading production lines.
As a result, this year, 2015, the real estate market seems to be booming, but construction machinery suddenly stopped selling. Isn’t that strange?
Later, I also had a drink and chatted with some old customers, who is one of the largest real estate developers in your Dongguan Province.
He said the signs are not right, and there is a sense of prosperity and decline, and the real estate market may have reached a turning point.
After hearing this, Lin Sanqi became even more curious.
Because as far as he knew, at least the housing prices in Huadu were still rising, and according to his cousin's inside information, 106 villages would be demolished in Huadu alone this year.
The demolition of 106 villages means that a large number of relocated households will be released instantly. How can the real estate market possibly go cold?
"Brother Ye, that's impossible, right? Look at the land prices that are so high these days. For example, last year we bought a piece of land to build a headquarters, and the land alone cost over 3 billion. If I didn't have the antiques as a deduction, I would have gone bankrupt."
Section Chief Song curled his lips when he heard this.
Ye Mingshuang is a talkative person. Since he is young and not cunning, he is willing to tell the truth.
"Director Lin, I'll tell you something in secret. Let's not talk about those far away. Just take that Li Huanggua from Hong Kong. He's already clearing out his real estate assets in China. He's selling off projects and transferring them. He doesn't have a single piece of land left."
Lin Sanqi was still a little puzzled: "This old man has made a lot of money a long time ago, so it's normal for him to just take the money and run."
Qiao Jingzhu was an economics major, so he immediately understood the problem:
"Boss, Mr. Ye means that Li Huanggua is not optimistic about the domestic real estate industry and is planning to run away."
Lin Sanqi touched his chin and thought for a while, but he was not an economics major after all, so he could not see through or understand the domestic economic situation.
He only firmly believes in one thing: whether the real estate market rises or falls is one thing, the key lies in liquidity, that is, when you need money, can you sell your house?
If you can't sell it, or don't sell it at all, then real estate is just paper wealth and has little meaning. In the end, you will be stuck at a high position.
So even though Lin Sanqi was so rich, he never bought a house. He liked to buy gold when he had money, and he kept buying gold as long as he had money.
"It's okay, okay. My family sells ginseng and also does some grocery business. As long as there are still rich people in this world, my family will have no worries about business. Haha."
Everyone chuckled. When the boss told a joke, they had to join in the fun.
Everyone continued to move forward to visit. Lin Sanqi walked while reminding:
"Brother Ye, it's like this. Brother Song and I are half-brothers. His cousin is also my cousin, so when doing business, I must take care of my own people."
Lin Sanqi said this beautifully, and Song Taichu felt very proud and secretly happy after hearing it.
"But a 10 billion order isn't a particularly large amount, but it's still a lot. And I need it urgently. I wonder if your Qingyuan Heavy Industry can deliver on schedule, Brother Ye?"
When Ye Mingshuang heard this, he patted his chest loudly:
"Mr. Lin, you may not understand the domestic production speed. In our machinery industry, the speed of production depends on the speed at which the client transfers the money.
As long as there's an order, we can work day and night. If we can't complete the task, we can provide the drawings and ask our partners to do the work for us. So a 10 billion order is absolutely no problem for me."
Lin Sanqi smacked his lips:
"If it's OEM, can the quality be guaranteed? This batch of products is for export, and I can't let foreigners criticize them as inferior products. This is related to the reputation of our Lingnan Hall, and more importantly, the reputation of the country."
Ye Mingshuang nodded at Song Taichu who was pretending to be dead next to him and said:
"Mr. Lin, you should understand my cousin's personality. He can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. If there is a problem with the quality of our products, he will not recommend customers to me even if I beg him again.
"So, Mr. Ye, don't worry. My grandfather taught us from a young age to be honest and trustworthy. We can make less money, but we will definitely guarantee the quality. Besides, with a 10 billion order, the profit is more than enough."
Section Chief Song chuckled, but still did not express any opinion. It was obvious that he had decided to remain neutral today.
Anyway, he has already brought the buyer here, so he doesn't care whether the buyer can place an order or not, and he also wants to avoid suspicion.
Lin Sanqi climbed onto an excavator, felt it for a while, and then found the nameplate. Then he spoke:
"Brother Ye, I have a special request. If I purchase products from your factory, I need to erase all traces of them. For example, nameplates like this one need to be completely in English, and the production date and manufacturer must not be printed on them."
Ye Mingshuang didn't understand what Lin Sanqi meant, and said with some concern:
"Mr. Lin, the nameplate of construction machinery contains the model name, manufacturer, and serial number. This information is very important for judging the quality of the machinery and selecting it. Some customers rely on this information; otherwise, it could easily be mistaken for a "three-no" product.
In addition, it is an important reference for after-sales service of the machine. Repair, maintenance, and parts replacement operations all require the manufacturer's information, which is equivalent to the machine's identity and legal proof. Are you sure you don't want it?"
Lin Sanqi waved his hand:
"No, I don't want any of it, including your packaging, not even the words 'Qingyuan Heavy Industry'. My products are for export anyway, so you don't have to be responsible for after-sales service."
My only special request is that all spare parts be prepared for me, the more the better. Also, please coordinate and help me get a few repair and maintenance workshops. These are all very important."
Ye Mingshuang laughed and said:
"Okay, Party A's father's request is above all else, so let's do as you say."
Lin Sanqi pointed at Qiao Jingzhu next to him and said:
"As the boss, I'll just give you a figure: 10 billion for procurement. As for the types of machines to be matched and the unit prices, you can discuss that with our CEO Qiao. I won't be involved."
Ye Mingshuang was also straightforward:
"Then let the managers of both sides discuss the details. Mr. Lin, come on, I've prepared some local Qingyuan delicacies for you. Would you like to try some first?"
Lin Sanqi is quite interested in food:
"Let's go. I'm just hungry."
Ye Mingshuang drove the car himself, carrying Lin Sanqi and his cousin Song Qinchu, and drove around in the mountain road for more than half an hour before arriving at a small restaurant in the mountains.
When Lin Sanqi got off the car, he saw a restaurant with simple conditions and simple decoration, but the parking lot was full of various luxury cars and the restaurant was also full of diners.
Lin Sanqi thought: I'm finally here today, this must be a treasure trove of food.
People in Guangdong all know that if you go to Guangdong and your friends take you to a high-end restaurant in the city to treat you, it means that they don’t regard you as a serious friend at all.
But if he takes you across mountains and rivers and finds you in a shabby little restaurant, it means he truly regards you as a close friend. (End of this chapter)
