At present, Tiangong Technology has made great progress in the research and development of various low-end CNC machine tools, and will soon be able to sell various low-end CNC machine tools to the public.
The domestic demand for low-end CNC machine tools is also quite large, so it is expected that Tiangong Technology Company will make a fortune.
Zhao Ye's expression suddenly shifted, and he murmured, "No one gets rich without windfall gains. If Tiangong Technology wants to rise rapidly, it still needs to rely on its Soviet big brother."
...
Meanwhile, Zhou Huicheng was so excited that he immediately called a meeting of the senior management of Tiangong Technology and announced Zhao Ye's decision.
Everyone was taken aback, but then became extremely excited and volunteered to go to Germany to purchase high-end CNC machine tools.
Zhou Huicheng selected several senior executives with strong interpersonal skills and then sent Vice President Shen Zeyu to Germany.
A few days later, the Tiangong Technology Company delegation arrived in West Germany.
Germany's precision manufacturing giants are almost all based in West Germany, and East Germany's economy was far worse than West Germany's.
Tiangong Technology quickly contacted several precision machining companies in Germany. In the initial contact, the other party was willing to sell high-end CNC machine tools, but the price was extremely expensive.
The amounts range from millions to tens of millions of US dollars.
For machining centers, the cost can be tens of millions of US dollars.
If I were to buy it at the price they offered, my heart would bleed.
Tiangong Technology Company was naturally unwilling to accept such a price, and the two sides began a long negotiation on the price issue.
It was only then that Shen Zeyu realized this trip was not easy...
Trumpf Group of Germany.
Inside the meeting room.
“Tiangong Technology is also a precision machining company and a competitor of the German Trumpf Group. The key point is that its parent company is the world-renowned Wujiang Group. Therefore, we must pay close attention to Tiangong Technology!” General Manager Zach Toran said in a deep voice as he swept his gaze over the crowd.
"Making things difficult for them on price is also to prevent Tiangong Technology from developing too quickly. However, it would be best if our Trumpf Group could still secure Tiangong Technology's orders."
Besides our German companies, Japanese companies have also made significant achievements in high-end CNC machine tools. I am worried that Tiangong Technology might turn around and buy products from the Japanese.
Therefore, negotiators should pay attention to maintaining a proper balance and understanding the other party's position...
The crowd nodded in agreement, and many of them showed disdain and indignation towards Japanese machine tools.
"How can Japanese CNC machine tools compare to our German CNC machine tools? If they weren't so cheap, they probably wouldn't be able to sell them."
"That's true, but Japanese machine tools are cheaper than our German machine tools, so they sell well all over the world and have become a major concern for German companies. Zach Toland is right, we should still be careful not to let Tiangong Technology Company turn around and buy Japanese machine tools!"
...
...
At this time, Zhao Ye received news that the negotiations between Tiangong Technology Company and Tiangong Technology Company to purchase machine tools were not going well.
"The Soviet Union has not yet collapsed, and Tiangong Technology's negotiation team still has plenty of time."
Zhao Ye picked up the phone and contacted Shen Zeyu.
Zhao Ye did not urge them, but instead instructed Shen Zeyu and the others to be patient in negotiating with the German machine tool companies, and to make sure that they purchased a large number of high-end CNC machine tools before 1991.
"Okay, boss!" Shen Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Suddenly, he remembered something and said to Zhao Ye, "By the way, boss, we took the opportunity during our trip to West Germany to learn about West Zeiss. According to our investigation, West Zeiss is probably on the verge of bankruptcy!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye's eyes lit up. West Zeiss was on the verge of bankruptcy. Could Wujiang Group acquire it?
East Zeiss will only be complete if it merges with West Zeiss!
"President Shen, in your opinion, what are the chances of us acquiring West Zeiss?" Zhao Ye asked.
Shen Zeyu thought for a moment and said, "It's quite difficult. After all, West Zeiss is a world-renowned optical giant, and there are many companies interested in it. The key is that we are Chinese companies, which naturally leads to exclusion by Western countries. However, we have East Zeiss. West Zeiss and East Zeiss were originally one company, so if we merge the two companies, it might not be impossible to achieve the goal of acquiring West Zeiss!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye nodded, agreeing with Shen Zeyu's assessment.
The breakthrough in the acquisition of West Zeiss lay with East Zeiss.
Zhao Ye couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had acquired East Zeiss so early on.
Of course, it's also fortunate that the Soviet Union was still standing strong at this time, and it's also fortunate that Tomohide Murai, an associate professor at the Japanese National Defense Academy, hadn't yet had time to bark and spout any theories.
Otherwise, some German officials might use this as an excuse to prevent Wujiang Group from acquiring West Zeiss.
After ending the call with Shen Zeyu, Zhao Ye felt that more preparations were needed to ensure a smoother acquisition of West Zeiss.
Next year, West Germany and East Germany will reunify.
West Germany recognized the East German mark and exchanged it for West German marks at a 1:1 ratio.
If Wujiang Group holds a large number of East German marks, then the West German government will definitely negotiate with Wujiang Group on how to deal with these East German marks.
Of course, a 1:1 exchange was impossible. Therefore, the West German government had to provide some compensation to the Wujiang Group, one of the conditions being that it agreed to acquire West Zeiss.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ye smiled.
The East German mark is now worthless and has depreciated drastically. Wujiang Group can exchange a large number of East German marks for only a small amount of US dollars.
Previously, Zhao Ye hadn't wanted to exploit Germany in this way, lest he incur the wrath of the German authorities. However, in order to acquire West Zeiss, he had to do so; possessing a large number of East German marks would be a crucial bargaining chip in the acquisition.
