"Mr. Othello, thank you very much for taking the time to meet me in your busy schedule." In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the capital of steel, a middle-aged Chinese man held out his rough right hand to Othello Simmons ficolu, the head of General Industry Department of Rockwell international in fluent English.
"Jiang, although your sincerity moved me, I appreciate your persistence very much, but you only have five minutes." Othello said very seriously to the middle-aged man in front of him.
Rockwell international is headquartered in Pittsburgh. The man from China has spent more than a year to see him. Although he was rejected every time, he did not give up. Because of this, Othello, who is busy with business and travels all over the world, decided to give him a chance.
Although he is not interested in equipment from China, he is also skeptical about their machining business.
Rockwell is one of the few mechanical companies in Pittsburgh. At present, its main business has developed towards high-precision machining, and the company is preparing to give up some businesses with high cost and low profit margin.
The Chinese said that he had brought a plan to the whole Rockwell company that could effectively reduce their costs.
"Five minutes is enough. Mr. Othello, I''m the head of the Northeast market of the United States, a subsidiary of China''s Yunshi holding Jiuyi group. Although this title is very long, I''m sure you won''t regret seeing me this time. " Jiang Muge confidently introduced himself to the capable old man over 60 years old.
"I appreciate your confidence, but your time has passed for a minute." Othello didn''t understand what the Chinese meant. Didn''t he come to sell himself their machine tools? Although the CNC machine tools used for rough machining in his company are all from Taiwan and Japan, he is not interested in China''s backward equipment.
Even so, he was very upset by the Chinese''s waste of time.
The Chinese people are like this. They have never been able to grasp the key points in their work. Even after the reform and opening up, they still do so after learning from the world for 20 years.
"Mr. Othello, I''m really here to sell you our machining equipment, but before that, I hope you can have a look at the cost and profit of your company in general industry. My purpose is not just to promote products to your company, but to provide solutions for the general industry department of your company in the current transformation period. " Jiang Mu Ge did not think so.
In the eyes of these Americans, the Chinese are indeed inferior to the Japanese and even the Taiwanese.
Although Taiwanese are Chinese, they are divided into one Chinese mainland and China Taiwan.
It is very difficult to win the business of Rockwell. The whole American market is huge for China, but the competition is very fierce. He has been in the United States for more than a year. From the beginning, he chose Pittsburgh, the most important industrial city in the United States, in order to start from a high place, rather than obtaining small orders with little profit through some small companies like Taiwanese, so as to gain a firm foothold in the United States step by step.
CNC machine tools in Japan, Taiwan and even many small countries in Europe are very common in the American market.
Although the country with millions of CNC machine tools is a large producer of CNC machine tools, it is also a large consumer of CNC machine tools.
To win more orders, it is obvious that taking time is not very suitable for the current 91 group.
"Oh? I never knew that the Chinese were more arrogant than the Japanese. The Japanese are arrogant because they have a arrogant foundation, but when will China still be able to provide advanced industrial solutions to enterprises like us? " Othello was surprised that the Chinese middle-aged man was so arrogant.
For him, it''s really worth wasting a few minutes to see the arrogant performance of the Chinese people.
You know, their industrial automation of Rockwell international has always been something they are proud of.
"Sir, I have another identity. I''m sorry I didn''t introduce it to you. While serving cloud holdings, I am also responsible for xinkaixing international company, the largest OEM enterprise in China. Your current losses in general industry, I think I have enough options for you to choose from. In this way, your production cost in the general industrial field will be reduced by at least 10%. " Jiang Muge is very smart and doesn''t say that he wants to solve the high cost problem of Rockwell in the high-end field.
"Tell me." Othello did not believe that the Chinese people in front of him could help him solve the problem.
But the Chinese successfully impressed him.
"I know that you are planning to use automation equipment on a large scale to reduce basic costs, and that your company is planning to sell some companies with poor profitability and close some loss making ordinary machinery factories. That''s why I appeared in front of you. In this scheme, my suggestion is mainly to help you reduce the production cost... "Seeing that Othello has been successfully attracted, Jiang Muge began to eloquently explain his scheme to Othello.
Although Rockwell international is also the world''s top in the field of mechanical industry automation, Jiang Muge does not think he can''t sell their Intelligent NC production line to them.
Although the unmanned workshop production line of 91 Research Institute has not been successful, it has no problem for some large quantities of regular rough machining. More importantly, once they can win Rockwell''s order, even a very small order, their 91 group will be popular in the United States.
"Sorry, Mr. Jiang, I have to interrupt you. Although your proposal is very attractive to me, I want to know, are you sure you''re not describing the world in science fiction? Automated unmanned sound field is not fully mature in the powerful United States, advanced Germany and Japan! " Hearing Jiang Muge''s introduction that CNC unmanned production lines can be used to deal with some of their machinery businesses that cannot be outsourced to China, Othello was stunned by the Chinese people who opened this brain hole in front of him.
Do the Chinese have such advanced technology?
This is impossible and unscientific.
The most mature automation technology is in Germany, Japan and the United States, but it has not reached such a level.
"Sir, I know that if I hadn''t seen it with my own eyes, no one would believe that such technology would appear, let alone in backward China. However, this is true. If you have time, I hope I can personally show you the achievements of China in this field... "Jiang Muge glanced at the watch on his wrist secretly. He saw that twenty minutes had passed, and othellos didn''t mean to drive him away.
I couldn''t help but rejoice in my heart and put forward an invitation at the same time.
Anyone who sees the unmanned production lines of the 91 Research Institute will be shocked.
"Even if there is, the cost of your company in this regard will be beyond our scope..." Othello sighed.
The Japanese also mean to provide them with this automatic production line, but it is just a flexible production line. The cost of a production workshop is far more than the cost of manpower in ordinary processing workshops. In this manufacturing industry, profits have fallen sharply. Most manufacturing enterprises in Europe and America are ready to outsource some production businesses with low scientific and technological content and weak profits to China''s market environment. He simply doesn''t believe that the Chinese people will have such kindness.
"The cost is no higher than the labor you use. Moreover, we can replace three or more ordinary skilled workers with one manipulator. Of course, I''m not saying you can keep all your business in China. For non key parts such as auto parts, especially drilling equipment and textile machinery, xinkaixing group is completely OEM... "Considering for customers, every business person must do it.
Only in this way can customers trust them more.
Rockwell international is more cautious than other companies because many of their businesses belong to the top in the world.
Jiang Muge never knew it because Yunfei flapped the wings of a butterfly. It should have been in 1997 that Rockwell was going to sell the auto parts and systems department with sales of $3.1 billion in 1999.
It is precisely because of the sharp increase in labor costs that Rockwell international is preparing for company transformation.
It is precisely because of this opportunity that the whole Rockwell company has the demand for hundreds of CNC equipment for rough machining and parts with low machining accuracy requirements.
Moreover, the position of Rockwell in the aerospace field makes them have the same demand for low-grade four-axis machine tools and five axis linkage machine tools for rough machining.
In this regard, the price of Chinese equipment is far lower than that of similar equipment in Europe, America and Japan.
Jiang Muge''s strategy is to use their top-level equipment to compete with the low-level equipment in Europe, America and Japan. He didn''t get the permission of the company, but he felt that as long as he could win these businesses, even if the relevant leaders of the company disagreed, the boss Yun Fei would agree.
Others don''t know how eager Yun Fei is to enter the American market, but he knows very well.
"Boss, you are three minutes late for the company meeting..." when Othello was ready to learn more about the situation, his secretary reminded him
