Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1376 Strong entry

"Mr. Ji, this is Boss Liu's factory, from Zhejiang. This factory has been in operation for six years, and the overall efficiency is still good. Take a look at the information..."

As they were about to arrive at the factory, Dai Yonghe handed a piece of factory information to Ji Donglai. Ji Donglai glanced at it and almost laughed in his heart.

Because there are several profile pictures of this factory that Ji Donglai had originally made, which means that the other party stole the information pictures of Ji Donglai.

It is impossible to say anything good about a factory that even plagiarizes its promotional materials.

Apart from anything else, I basically left here because I couldn’t make any money. The various promotional slogans at the back are mostly clichés and rarely attractive.

The latter one was the other party's local recruitment advertisement, and Ji Donglai was even more familiar with it. Basically, the comprehensive salary starts at 8,000. As for the old routine of not mentioning the basic salary, it would be strange if the locals don't knock your head.

Sure enough, when Ji Donglai was still a hundred meters away from the factory, everyone saw the high wall outside the factory covered with various graffiti, including some international friendly words that Ji Donglai recognized.

Most of them are in Portuguese, and some are in English. Ji Dong found them very straightforward and easy to understand.

There are glass ballasts inserted into the wall of the factory, and a power grid is pulled from above. The fence is two meters high. There are overgrown weeds on the roadside near the factory, and no one has trimmed them for a long time.

The door of the factory is welded with thumb-thick steel bars and covered with a three-millimeter-thick steel plate. It has also been spray-painted with various friendly graffiti. The guard box at the door is also equipped with thick guardrails, and the guard is also Chinese.

Boss Liu's Mandarin is not good, but his attitude is very enthusiastic. After shaking hands with Dai Yong and there, he immediately shook hands with Ji Donglai, his eyes narrowed into a thin line.

When discussing business, it's best to get straight to the point. Ji Donglai doesn't like the hypocrisy of this group of people.

Dai Yonghe greeted the people, and the security guard at the door went to the door and took a mirror to shine on the bottom of the car. After checking that there was nothing wrong, Ji Donglai and the others were let in.

"I like Mr. Ji's character. Northerners are straightforward. Mr. Ji, please tell you that our equipment is the most advanced in the world..."

Especially the routines of the Zhejiang Gang are often difficult to guard against. It is better to see how the factory is doing, and don't waste their time if you don't do it well.

Boss Liu didn't expect Ji Donglai to mention his factory so quickly, so he hurriedly led the way, and then started to lie all over the place.

This results in the equipment not only occupying a larger area, but also increasing energy consumption. In addition, although several pieces of equipment have been carefully inspected, there are still traces of hydraulic oil at the bottom of the cylinder, proving that the cylinder is leaking oil.

The so-called internationally advanced equipment of the other party are without exception imported equipment copied by Zhejiang businessmen. Appropriate modifications have been made to the appearance, and some have been directly changed from vertical to horizontal.

"Boss Dai, I've been waiting for you to come. I didn't have time to ask you out earlier. Don't be in a hurry today. Let's have a few drinks. This is Mr. Ji. I've known him for a long time. Welcome to my place..."

"I don't dare. I have long admired Boss Liu's name. Can we go inside the factory and have a look?"

Ji Donglai just smiled in response, but when he arrived inside the factory, Ji Donglai felt a little disappointed.

More importantly, these devices are without exception very old and the paint has peeled off.

Tire companies almost all use vacuuming equipment. The machine surfaces are uneven and cannot achieve the sealing effect at all. It is self-deceiving when using them.

After walking around the site, there were some scrap rubber and scrapers in the corner. Ji Donglai understood at a glance that the tires here were almost all retreads, and there were no new ones at all. As for the workers on site, they were all hired from China, and a few of them were obviously relatives of the boss. They were almost identical in height and profile.

The rubber mixing workshop is also a tipping bucket internal mixer, commonly known as a 10,000-horsepower machine! The refining level of this thing can only be said to be average, the pressure cannot reach the level of precision parts at all, and the kneading degree is not enough.

The open mill is fine. It is also a piece of equipment from Big Rubber and Plastic Co., Ltd. that is more than eighty years old. You can tell its age by looking at the base of Ji Donglai. It can be seen that this line was imported to save tariffs. In addition, Ji Donglai did not see many tire molds on site. They were basically miscellaneous molds from Hideyoshi Banban.

"Mr. Ji, our production technology and formula are very advanced in the country. If Mr. Ji wants to acquire our factory, the formula and technology can be provided free of charge, and our personnel can also help Mr. Ji train."

"I'm getting older and don't want to do this anymore. Mr. Ji is young and promising. It's very valuable to come here to develop the market. We will take care of ourselves when we go home."

"You know that we Zhejiang people are very trustworthy and will never deceive our friends. Our land has a useful life of twenty-five years, and our prices are easy to negotiate."

During the whole visit, Ji Donglai remained silent. Boss Liu couldn't figure out Ji Donglai's pulse and went out along the tour passage to make various introductions. Ji Donglai did not speak.

Walking to the door and looking at the cutting machine, Ji Dong looked at the nameplate and smiled.

"Mr. Ji, this is a cutting equipment developed by us. Our factory has its own design team. We have core strength in mechanical design..."

Seeing Ji Donglai admiring this equipment, Boss Liu's eyes were full of pride, and Ji Donglai took a look.

"Ran Bo, bring that caliper over and let me use it."

Pointing to the caliper on the chopping board, Ji Donglai compared it. Ran Bo directly handed over the vernier caliper without Ji Donglai saying anything else.

"If I remember correctly, the distance between the rivet holes on this sign is 62.5. You are right. The distance between the rivet holes and the bottom edge of the device is 31 millimeters. I really remember that."

"The distance between the two reinforcing ribs is 124 millimeters, which is correct! The shaft diameter of this reducer is 25 millimeters, which is correct!"

After checking several dimensions, Ji Donglai handed the caliper to Ran Bo, who put it back on the chopping board. Boss Liu stood there with an embarrassed face.

The person brought by Ji Donglai next to him suppressed a smile and turned his back. Boss Liu looked at Dai Yonghe. Dai Yonghe rolled his eyes and secretly thought he deserved it. He is such an expert.

"Mr. Ji, have you also bought this equipment?"

Boss Liu said with a blush, knowing that his confidence was blown.

"I was involved in the signage of this equipment, and I also designed the size and position. Most of the equipment manufactured by Yiyuan is made by our factory, especially the auxiliary equipment for on-site production."

"After setting up a factory on my own over the years, I have sold a lot, but I don't make much money. Mosquito legs are also meat. Of course, some people have sold the drawings, and we have not protected the so-called intellectual property rights too much."
