Chapter 306 Learn more, plan ahead
In the living room, Zhao Guoyang, sitting opposite Mu Yiyi, immediately became vivid after hearing her say the place name "Staffordshire".
Mu Yiyi, who was sitting upright, had always been secretly paying attention to Zhao Guoyang's expression changes. At this time, she could not help but feel a little confused when she saw the strange expression on the latter's face.
"Hey, Zhao Guoyang, what are you thinking?" Mu Yiyi couldn't help but ask directly.
Zhao Guoyang pondered for a moment and asked back, "Mu Yiyi, do you know that there is a very famous agricultural manufacturing company in Staffordshire?"
After hearing this, Mu Yiyi was stunned and thought for a while and said, "It seems that I have heard someone mention that there is such a company, but I don't know what the specific name is. Why, do you know this company?"
Zhao Guoyang was secretly amused in his heart. He didn't just understand him, but he could simply describe it as quite familiar.
The company he was talking about in his heart was the most famous engineering machinery and agricultural manufacturing company in England and even the world - jcb.
As the world's first company to develop excavation loaders, jcb has always been the major construction machinery manufacturer in Europe and the largest family-owned company in England.
The company was founded in 1945 and was founded by Mr. Joseph Cyrill Banford, or Mr. "Jcb".
And this Mr. Joseph Cyrill Bamford is also the inventor of the world's first excavation loader.
According to Zhao Guoyang's memory of his previous life, JCB Company was the world's largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery until the 21st century. Its investment in product research and development has always been at the forefront of global technological innovation.
In Zhao Guoyang's view, he now has demand for construction machinery, agricultural machinery and industrial equipment produced by JCB.
Whether it is the niobium tantalum ore in São Paulo or the heavy industrial production that is about to be planned in China, there are many places where these equipment are used...
After thinking too much, Zhao Guoyang naturally remained silent for a while.
After accidentally noticing that the increasingly impatient expression on Mu Yiyi's face, Zhao Guoyang realized that the lover had been waiting for his reply.
"Uh...Yiyi, I'm sorry, I'm distracted just now." Zhao Guoyang said embarrassedly.
"I still have a certain understanding of the JCB company I just mentioned. Its main products include agricultural machinery and engineering machinery. Some of its products also overlap with our factory, and there are many places to learn from..."
"Oh? Which factory and which product overlaps with our factory?" Before Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Mu Aijun in the room had already made a call and walked out and asked loudly.
"Dad, Zhao Guoyang and I are talking about my study abroad. You still remember the Staffordshire that I mentioned to you last time? Zhao Guoyang said that there is a company called 'jcb' there, which overlaps with the products of your Hongda Machinery Factory."
"Oh? jcb company? This is the first time I have heard of this! Guoyang, tell me what this company produces." After Mu Aijun sat down, he looked at Zhao Guoyang with great interest.
Zhao Guoyang nodded and briefly explained the related products of JCB company to Mu Aijun and his father and daughter.
"JCB Company first started with excavation loaders. Later, it gradually developed into a large-scale comprehensive machinery manufacturing enterprise integrating agricultural machinery, engineering machinery and industrial equipment."
"JCB's hydraulic crawler loader production level has always been in the world's leading position. In addition, it has great advantages in telescopic forklift trucks, small agricultural rice transplanters and other products."
Zhao Guoyang paused and continued: "JCB made another amazing move the year before yesterday. They developed the world's first high-speed tractor with full suspension. In one fell swoop, the production level of global tractors has been elevated to a brand new level..."
Mu Aijun listened carefully to Zhao Guoyang's story and nodded from time to time to exclaim.
It can be seen that this factory manager Mu admires JCB, a super manufacturing company with strong innovation capabilities, from the bottom of his heart.
After talking about some general situations of JCB company, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said to Mu Aijun: "Director Mu, from the current production structure of our factory, if you devote yourself to the development and production of scooters, you will definitely not have the energy to develop other new products."
"But I think it's not a bad thing to understand some industry information trends and development trends in advance..."
Zhao Guoyang opened his finger and said, "It's like several products from JCB company, high-speed tractors and agricultural rice transplanters. We can learn more about this. Prepare for the future, and there are some uses."
"Well, Guoyang's words are right. I completely agree with you!" Mu Aijun nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"For our Hongda Machinery Factory, we are now in a period of very good development. The trial production of the scooter is very smooth and has attracted the attention of our Ninghai City and even Guangling City."
Mu Aijun looked at Zhao Guoyang with confidence and said, "Guoyang, I will give you a brief explanation. If our first batch of scooters can be released in two months and put into the market, our factory will have the opportunity to apply for one or two relatively large amounts of financial support in the future."
After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't hide the joy on his face, and rubbed his hands hard and said, "Director Mu, if there is really more sufficient funds, I think our factory can really be prepared to open up a new path."
Zhao Guoyang thought for a while and continued, "Of course, this newly opened road may not be similar to JCB company. But since Yiyi is in England, it can be said that the moon will be the first to get close to the water. With her, she will help us understand the relevant situation first and find out the bottom line. It is always correct."
"Even if we really want to cooperate with others or produce similar products in the future, we will have grasped some information in advance." Zhao Guoyang finally added.
"Well, it makes sense, it makes sense!" Mu Aijun kept nodding.
Mu Yiyi next to her looked a little unhappy when she heard this. She curled her lips and said, "What, Dad. Are you asking me to be a business spy? I am a MBA from Coventry Business School!"
After hearing his daughter's complaint, Mu Aijun laughed and said, "What kind of spies are not spies? They are not as serious as you said. They just throw a stone to ask for directions."
"Speaking of this, what does this JCB rice transplanter look like? I am really interested in buying one to come back and take a look. Yiyi, after you went to England this time, remember to ask me about the price."
Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but twitch.
In fact, although it is now the 1990s, it is twenty or thirty years apart from the time before his rebirth.
However, Zhao Guoyang still has a rough estimate of the price of such well-known brand products in the international market.
With its reputation as JCB and the quality of its company's products, such a small rice transplanter will cost 20,000 US dollars. If it is exchanged for RMB, it will cost about 200,000 US dollars.
If this factory manager Mu heard about this price, would he be stunned? Zhao Guoyang was really looking forward to it.
"Old Mu, the chestnut roast pork is ready, and it's time to eat!" Ding Yanhong's voice came from the kitchen.
Mu Aijun waved to Mu Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, go and help your mother bring the food."
Hearing this, Mu Yiyi pouted again. When she got up, she couldn't help but look at Zhao Guoyang.
Obviously, this young lady must have felt that she had to work, but Zhao Guoyang was a little unhappy to be able to enjoy the fruits of her.
Seeing this girl's unhappy look, Zhao Guoyang felt secretly amused: This lady Yiyi seems to be about the same age as hers? Why is she so old and still has a childish temper? She is comparable to her sister Zhao Xiaojing...
Mu Aijun, who was sitting next to him, noticed the faint smile on his face when Zhao Guoyang looked at his daughter, and his heart moved.
After coughing and attracting Zhao Guoyang's attention, Mu Aijun changed the topic and chatted: "Guoyang, you just graduated last year, right? I remember your birthday was quite young, and you were under twenty-three years old?"
Zhao Guoyang was stunned for a moment, and then answered: "Director Mu, it will be twenty-three by the end of October."
"Hehe, you are young and promising, young and promising!" Mu Aijun said with emotion.
"By the way, Guoyang. Although you are still young, you can almost consider this lifelong event, right?" Mu Aijun said intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhao Guoyang did not doubt that he was there, shook his head and said, "Manager, you should know my situation. In addition to our factory, a small factory that we have jointly built with a few friends is developing very smoothly now. We are so busy every day that we have no time to fall in love..."
After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Mu Aijun couldn't help but nod.
Indeed, he, the factory director, has always known how busy Zhao Guoyang is.
Let’s talk about these twenty days. After he returned from Samba, he ran here and there again, and he had never had any idleness.
In less than a day or two, I have to go to Siyang Group again, which is really hard.
Mu Aijun was thinking about getting a little bit of Zhao Guoyang, and Ding Yanhong, who had just come out of the kitchen, heard this and directly continued the conversation: "Guoyang, after hearing what you said, this is really something that our old Mu did wrong."
"Young people should give you more freedom. Like in your factory, you work six days a week and work overtime from Sunday to Sunday, so how can you do it! It will make people exhausted!"
"That's right, my dad, the system in your factory is really wrong. I went to work at 7:30 in the morning and only had an hour and a half off at noon. What's enough! We are in England, and the employees of other companies only go to work at 9:00 in the morning, okay?"
Listening to the mother and son's successive squeezing, Mu Aijun scratched his head.
