Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1210 Procurement of glass bulb production line

Like Bourne and others, Kailinna was very curious about Niu Xiaoqiang's hometown, and wanted to go there to see how a genius like Niu Xiaoqiang was cultivated.

It is not easy for Niu Xiaoqiang to refuse Kailina's request, because Kailinna has never made any request to him, and he has no other intentions. If Niu Xiaoqiang refuses, it will be too uninteresting.

He pondered for a moment and then nodded: "That's no problem, but you'd better go there in the name of visiting your younger siblings, otherwise those people in my hometown may gossip."

Kailinna hummed: "I will start arranging work matters tomorrow, and then I will set off with you. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled sincerely and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

After a night of nothing, Niu Xiaoqiang called Zhang Xiaolan the next morning and made an appointment with her to return home together.

Haisen Electronics' factory in Aoshan has been built and the equipment has been installed. As a partner, Zhang Xiaolan needs to go back with Niu Xiaoqiang to check the actual situation.

Last year, the two bought a lot of gifts for the Chinese New Year, and this time is no exception.Niu Xiaoqiang is now a billionaire, so naturally he will not be stingy. Zhang Xiaolan suggested buying a gift, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

The two made an appointment. After the meeting, accompanied by Zhang Xiaolan, he bought a lot of high-end clothes and cosmetics, and also bought three large boxes of Marlboro cigarettes.Clothes and cosmetics are for lesbians, cigarettes are for men.

After purchasing the gifts, Zhang Xiaolan and Niu Xiaoqiang found a coffee shop to have a rest. They chatted while drinking drinks: "Xiaoqiang, how long are you going to stay in China this time?"

"About half a month or so. Of course, if there are too many things, I may extend the time."

Zhang Xiaolan snorted: "There is something I want to tell you, Haisen Electronics has encountered some problems in its production."

Niu Xiaoqiang has not been in contact with the country recently, so he doesn't know much about the situation.He asked curiously, "What problem did they encounter?"

Zhang Xiaolan replied: "I heard from your old cousin that the people in the procurement department have run into obstacles everywhere in the country, and they have no way to purchase the spare parts needed for production. They have not started production, and the parts factory I opened has also come to a standstill."

Zhang Xiaolan showed hesitation when she said this: "Did no one inform you about such an important matter?"

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head: "Maybe they don't want to bother me, Xiaolan, do you know which spare parts you can't buy?"

Zhang Xiaolan nodded: "It's the glass bulb of the TV, which is an important component of the picture tube. We can only produce some accessories of the picture tube, and have not put into production the glass bulb production line."

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted, he knew about this situation.When purchasing TV production equipment, Niu Xiaoqiang only purchased part of it.This was mainly because the relevant equipment was too expensive, and he could not purchase all of them with his financial resources at the time.

After listening to Zhang Xiaolan's words, Niu Xiaoqiang pondered for a moment and then said, "You know the situation better than I do. According to your opinion, how do you think the best way to deal with this matter is?"

Zhang Xiaolan immediately replied: "Of course it is best to start the production of glass bulbs by yourself, otherwise you will be under the control of others forever. Your cousin told me that domestic glass bulb manufacturers are very arrogant and want to buy glass bulbs from them, just as a gift." It’s not enough, I still have to offer it like a lord, otherwise people won’t approve the note, the purchasing staff of Haisen Electronics have suffered a lot, even if they have already made a tribute to him as a lord, they still have their appetite, and push it tomorrow tomorrow Tomorrow will be postponed to the day after tomorrow."

TV is one of the three major wedding items, and it is the most important component. It is a very tight commodity in China, so the related supporting manufacturers are also very bullish.Niu Xiaoqiang could guess what happened to the purchaser without calling to inquire.

He still has more than 1 million U.S. dollars in his hand, which is not short of the money. Hearing this, he nodded slightly and said: "In this case, let's purchase glass bulb production equipment. You wait a moment, I will give it to you." Professor Rogge called and asked him to help us purchase, he has a lot of acquaintances in this industry and can help us bargain."

Zhang Xiaolan froze for a moment before speaking: "Just wait for a while."

Niu Xiaoqiang asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xiaolan asked solemnly: "Do you know how much a glass bulb production line costs?"

Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously, "How much does it cost?"

Zhang Xiaolan stretched out two fingers: "Don't even think about $2000 million."

Niu Xiaoqiang was taken aback: "We only spent 500 million US dollars on the production equipment for the other core parts of the picture tube. Why is a glass bulb production line so expensive?"

Zhang Xiaolan explained: "Because the relevant technologies are in the hands of the three companies, they most likely reached a private agreement to raise the price of the glass bulb production equipment to the outside world, which is why the price is so expensive."

This situation is not uncommon in the technical field, and many companies with high-end technologies will do this.They grab huge profits by jointly raising prices, which is no different from directly grabbing money.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't bother to criticize this kind of behavior: "If it's more expensive, it's more expensive. After we set up the glass bulb production line, we can not only supply our own TV factory, but also sell it to the outside world. It should not be possible to earn a lot of profits." The question is, as for the funds needed for the purchase, I can still get it out, and the recent performance of the Hunter Company has been very good, and it has helped me earn a lot of money."

Zhang Xiaolan believed it was true, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's do it this way."

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't delay any longer, picked up the satellite phone and dialed Roger's number.

"Is it Professor Rogge? I'm Niu Xiaoqiang. I want to ask you something, specifically like this..."

After Niu Xiaoqiang finished talking about the situation, Rogge immediately agreed: "No problem, Corning Corporation in the United States specializes in this. I am very familiar with the chairman of Corning. As long as I ask, he will definitely give you a discount." price."

When Rogge said this, he changed the subject: "Mr. Niu, it's already September, how is your textbook going?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Most of the textbooks have been completed, and we can finish them with more effort later. Don't worry, I can give you the textbooks you need in a month at most."

When Niu Xiaoqiang was on his way to Colombia to work, he took time out to compile a textbook on quantum information.In fact, he has already completed the compilation. There are three textbooks in total. Although the number of words is not many, the content can be extended on a large scale, and there is no problem at all in teaching.
