Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

In fact, Yuan Xia has always known that GIRA will be sold. In his previous life, it was acquired by Xu Gong Machinery, a year earlier than now.This time he paid special attention, but he didn't hear anything. He didn't expect it to be acquired by Xingyue.

Forget it, the acquisition also depends on fate, let's look at other things.

Yuan Xia called Cui Pingsheng to congratulate him, and Cui Pingsheng smiled smugly on the other end, and Yuan Xia said jokingly: "You guys can develop slowly, don't leave us too far away."

Cui Pingsheng said with a smile: "How can it be, the company over there is suffering a lot of losses, and I don't even know if buying it is a blessing or a curse."

Yuan Xia said: "That must be a blessing. GIRA's technology is so good, combining with you will be a strong alliance and sweep the entire concrete machinery industry."

Cui Pingsheng said: "Compared with you, Xingyue is still far behind, dare not be, dare not be."

Cui Pingsheng is not flattering Yuanxia, ​​Xingyuan's pump truck technology is the strongest in China, and its market share ranks first in the country and even in the world.

Yuan Xia said: "With GIRA's world market share, it will be easy for Xingyue to go overseas in the future, so I still have to congratulate you. Mr. Cui has a unique vision, and he can never go wrong."

Cui Pingsheng suddenly sighed: "To be honest, I'm quite worried. This acquisition is my strong advocate, and I'm worried that those prodigals will not manage well after I quit, and waste all my efforts. .”

Yuan Xia heard him talk about his retirement again, it seemed that Xing Yue really didn't intend to rehire him, so he comforted him: "No way, strong generals have no weak soldiers under them, and those promoted by President Cui are still capable. .”

Cui Pingsheng snorted, and said, "There is one more thing that might cause you trouble."

Yuan Xia said, "What?"

Cui Pingsheng said: "This acquisition cost a lot of money. The company does not plan to have additional expenditures next year, and the electric system that cooperates with you will also be stopped."

Yuan Xia said: "This research and development is almost done, you don't need to continue to invest, we will give you the existing research and development results."

Cui Pingsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

In fact, Cui Pingsheng discussed with the company's top management that he would withdraw from the research and development of the electric system and withdraw the money invested before, because they had just acquired GIRA and wanted to integrate this company, so they currently have no spare energy to develop the electric system.

Cui Pingsheng believed in Yuan Xia's vision. He was the one who cooperated with Xingyuan against all opinions at the beginning, and also believed that the electric intelligent system would be the future of construction machinery.

However, other executives of the company believe that after two years of research and development, the gasoline-electric hybrid produced by Xingyuan is also very tasteless and dispensable.

The most important thing is that Xingyue does not have the financial and manpower to develop this new system now, so it is better to withdraw the money and concentrate on developing concrete pump trucks.

Cui Pingsheng still accepted Yuan Xia's proposal and kept the project. Even if he has no money to develop now, he can still continue the project after two years of money.

Of course, he didn't tell Yuan Xia about these things.

Looking back, I have to argue with other senior executives of the company.

Of course, Yuanxia doesn’t think the hybrid system is useless. Although a system has been added, the price is limited to a higher price than the original, and almost only the cost price has been added. The main reason is to get feedback from customers on the user experience of this system.

No matter how bad the function is, it is improved little by little from the most basic function. If you don’t enter the market for inspection, you will never know what needs to be improved in the function of the product.

Yuan Xia also placed a new order for Minxi to make chips that are busy at both ends, and he plans to use his busy two ends to open up the European and American markets.

In late November, Xingyuan went to Beijing to participate in the construction machinery exhibition.

This time Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi both went, because in Beijing, they could go back to accompany their old father after work.

After Tao Simin left, Yu Zhenxing's body became weaker and weaker, and he was admitted to the hospital for more than a month that spring. His children almost thought that the old man would not be able to bear it, but he was discharged from the hospital.

After being discharged from the hospital, he stayed in a nursing home for two months. In the summer, the old man said that he felt much better and wanted to go home.

Yu Zhiwen took him home, and he has been living at home since then. He has lost a lot of weight, but his mental state is still good. No, more than a year has passed, and he still insists on working every day and keeps writing. .

As long as there is a chance, Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi will come to Beijing to accompany the old man, it really is one less time to visit.

During the exhibition in Beijing, Yuan Xia received a call from Si Hongjin: "Junior brother, are you still in Beijing?"

"Yes. What's the matter? Sister."

Si Hongjin said, "Do you know about the Master Company in Germany?"

"Of course!" Yuan Xia said, "The world's number one concrete machinery brand. What's wrong with it?"

Si Hongjin said with a smile: "A friend of mine who works in an investment fund in Hong Kong gave me information that Master is seeking financing recently. Go and meet with my friend to see if you can cooperate with Master." .”

Yuan Xia was ecstatic: "Okay! Where is it?"

Si Hongjin said: "I'll send you his phone number. His surname is Zhen and his name is Zhen Mingxian. He is in Beijing now. I have already told him about you. You can call him directly. I think we might pick a big guy." leak."

Yuan Xia hurriedly said: "Haha, okay, thank you!"

A few minutes later, Yuan Xia dialed Zhen Mingxian's phone number. The other party heard his background and was very polite and invited him to have a direct interview.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xia told Yu Xingyi the news, and Yu Xingyi could hardly believe his ears: "You mean, we might acquire Master's shares?"

Yuan Xia smiled and nodded: "Yes, I just don't know how much money the other party needs."

Yu Xingyi was still so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear: "No matter how much it is, it is a great opportunity for us. Master, the world pump king!"

Yuan Xia said: "Tomorrow we will go to see the friends of Senior Sister."

The two met with Zhen Mingxian at the appointed place, and Zhen Mingxian greeted them very politely. Zhen Mingxian was a friend Si Hongjin met in the United States. He used to work on Wall Street, but later returned to work in Hong Kong and has been investing in this company. Fund work, Master's case is handled by him.

Zhen Mingxian talked about Master’s situation: “After the financial crisis in 08, their operating conditions began to decline. Last year’s turnover was only 5.6 million euros, and there was a loss. This year’s situation is even worse, so I want to improve it through financing. company's financial condition."

Yuan Xia knew that the decline in Master’s operating conditions was not only caused by the financial crisis, but also because of the rise of China’s construction machinery, so he asked, “How much is their goal to raise?”

Zhen Mingxian said: "Their goal is more than 1 million euros, which is almost 10 billion yuan, and sell 33% of the equity."

Yuan Xia and Yu Xing looked at each other and said, "Please help me ask, does their company have plans to sell the company?"

Zhen Mingxian was a little surprised: "Do you want to buy Master?"

Yuan Xia nodded: "Yes. Our company's current flagship product is concrete pump trucks. We have been fascinated by Master for a long time. They have always been our role models. We have also heard about Master's business status in recent years. If they are going to sell the company, we want to buy the whole company."

Zhen Mingxian said, "Then I'll ask you later."

Yuan Xia said, "Thank you very much!"

After saying goodbye to Zhen Mingxian, Yuan Xia couldn't help sighing with Yu Xing: "It's really embarrassing that Master can't bear it anymore."

Yu Xingyi said: "Their products have always been doing well, but in recent years they have tended to be conservative and their prices are on the high side. It's normal that they can't compete with us."

In fact, Master has entered the Chinese mainland market a long time ago. However, although the product quality is good, they cannot compete with Xingyuan and Xingyue in terms of price. Therefore, in the Chinese market, they have never won Xingyuan.

However, it is the number one brand in the world, and its market share in the European and American markets has always been good.

Yuan Xia said: "Another point is that their products are too single. They only make concrete machinery, which is equivalent to putting all eggs in one basket. In the event of a financial crisis, they cannot bear the risk."

Yu Xingyi couldn't help thinking: "If we can take Master down, aren't we luckier than Xingyue?"

Yuan Xia said with a smile: "If we can win Master, at least we don't have to worry about the market share of concrete machinery in the world. However, the infrastructure in European and American countries has already been well developed, and the market for concrete machinery is very limited. We can use Master as a As a stronghold, open a branch in Germany to produce more other products. Now the products needed in the European market are mainly small machinery, excavators, two-end busy and so on.”

Yu Xing nodded: "Yes, when the time comes, set up a branch in Germany to open up the European market."

The two have begun to imagine a bright future after the acquisition of Master.

A day later, Zhen Mingxian called Yuan Xia and said that the person in charge of the Mattes branch in China wanted to meet him, and the other party happened to be attending the construction machinery exhibition in Beijing.

Of course, Yuan Xia would not refuse, and went to meet the person in charge of Master, which is different from the situation in which many foreign-funded companies in China are managed by Chinese people. The person in charge of Master in China is a German named Mark.

Mark said that on behalf of the German head office, he had an initial meeting with Yuan Xia, and if the meeting went well, he would invite Yuan Xia to go to Germany for a meeting with their boss.
