We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 727 Advanced Instruments
If John Baibo didn't know what Welch was when he first wrote in the book, he understood it after Luo Nianzhong asked two questions.

Not only did John Baibo understand it, but he was also full of admiration for Welch's fleeting strategic control, and of course the same was true for Luo Nianzhong.

To be honest, John Baibo is proud now. Although he is still as close to the grassroots as he was in P&G, and treats every employee with a warm and welcoming attitude, he can hardly hide his inner pride.

When he left P&G, some of his colleagues looked down on him.

Although he said congratulations, he was actually jealous and criticizing in his heart, and all he was thinking was: You kid, don't you even consider your own worth? You dare to accept the offer from Far East, and for such a high position, just wait to be kicked out if you don't have the ability.

But now John Baibo has come through and done an excellent job. He is a person who can change the global economy with just a stomp of his feet and is a guest of honor in every country.

What about his former colleagues? Now they are not even worthy of carrying his shoes. Many old colleagues who did not come and go much before would make phone calls or send emails to keep in touch when they have nothing to do. John Baibo knows exactly what they think.

Let alone colleagues, how about the CEO of P&G? He is just at the same level as the CEO of Watsons Beauty. He is someone who wants to say hello when he sees me.

But now, this small move by Welch and Luo Nianzhong made John Baibo feel that he still had a lot to learn.

John Baibo's expression change naturally fell into Luo Nianzhong's eyes, and he smiled and said, "John, do you have any ideas?"

"Osaka companies," John Baibo said, muttering, "Why don't we acquire some companies in the United States?"

"Position" Luo Nian pointed out the key point.

“Let’s not talk about whether we can acquire them or not. Even if we do, we can’t move these companies out of the United States.

But it’s different for island countries. We are in Asia, whether it’s Southeast Asia, the North or Hong Kong Island, and we can operate very easily.

The most crucial point is that these companies are not industry leaders, but they have development prospects, few obstacles and high returns."

John Baibo thought about what Luo Nianzhong said and nodded to show his agreement with the other party's point of view.

The two were talking in a charade, and except for Welch who kept smiling throughout, everyone else was a little at a loss. Chris even asked directly.

"what are you guys saying?"

Luo Nianzhong looked at his eldest wife and sighed in his heart.

The eldest brother in our family is very talented in business and also likes the business world.

As for ability, there is no doubt that he has no problem being a CEO, but this includes all companies, excluding Far East.

It is true that she is one of the top talents in the world's business field, but her sense of smell does not meet Luo Nianzhong's requirements.

In Far East, administrative ability, which is the aspect that other companies value most as a CEO, is, on the contrary, the least valued by Luo Nianzhong.

What he values ​​is the sense of smell, the kind of leaping thinking that can connect the good meal I had in the morning to national affairs.

Luo Nianzhong also knew that there were probably no more than five in the world that could meet his requirements. Fortunately, there were nearly two in the Far East.

Welch counts as one, and John White can only be said to be 0.8. However, he can still grow by Welch's side for a few more years and learn.

"Don't you think there's a connection between the two things I just focused on?"

"In the field of cutting-edge instruments," Piech was the first to answer.

It has to be said that Piech is also a talent that can be cultivated, but this guy's temper and stubbornness restrict his future, otherwise Luo Nianzhong would definitely transfer him to the Far East Group for training.

"That's right, it's the field of cutting-edge instruments, and it's also our weakest link right now."

Is Far East weak in the field of cutting-edge instruments? Not at all. On the contrary, it is one of the companies with the largest sales in the world.

But this cannot satisfy Luo Nianzhong's requirements, because there are too many branches in this field and he wants to cover basically all of them.

One of the important reasons why Luo Nianzhong was determined to take over Hitachi was Hitachi's cutting-edge equipment.

Hitachi is the world's top technology in analytical instruments. This is partly because Far Eastern used Hitachi products at the time, and it can be said that it gave up the development of projects that conflicted with Hitachi's technology. What will the Chinese people mention most in the manufacturing field after 2020? It must be lithography machines and chips.

But no one knows that there is an area where the problem is even more serious, and that is the field of high-end instruments, which can be said to be a blank.

Instruments are the strategic cornerstone of R&D and advanced manufacturing, but they are severely restricted by others.

Many people know that aircraft engines are not doing well, but do you know the specific reasons?

The processing of engine blades requires high-precision machine tools, and the accuracy of this instrument is one order of magnitude higher than that of machine tools. Without good instruments, it is impossible to manufacture aircraft engines.

If you want to produce cutting-edge products, you cannot do without high-end instruments, the more cutting-edge the products, the more so.

Without high-end instruments, errors will occur, and all subsequent research and development will be based on this error. When problems are found after the product is manufactured, a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources will have to be rebuilt, which is still a small matter. The key is time production.

Therefore, the manufacturing industry will choose foreign brands when selecting instruments. This is true for enterprises, and even more so for universities.

Each of these instruments is very expensive, with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands being the cheapest, while the most expensive ones can cost tens or even hundreds of millions.

Take Geely Automobile’s R&D center in Hangzhou Bay for example, almost all of its equipment is imported.

The acoustic rotor with a maximum speed of 270 kilometers per hour comes from Germany's Maha, the sound-absorbing material of the acoustic laboratory comes from Germany's Land, the electromagnetic compatibility material comes from Japan's Riken, and the chassis development equipment comes from England's K&C.

The core, the powertrain test center costing 19 million yuan, and the performance test benches of engines came from Lister, which the Audi Group wanted to acquire.

For this R&D center, the funds spent on factory buildings, land and supporting facilities are only a small part of the total investment; the bulk of the investment is spent on these cutting-edge equipment.

As early as 2010, the output value of domestic instruments and equipment ranked first in the world, but they were all mid- and low-end. The gap in cutting-edge equipment has not only not narrowed, but has become increasingly larger.

The technical barriers in this industry are more serious than those of lithography machines, and the efficiency of R&D will never be as good as that of acquisitions, so Luo Nianzhong wants to take over Hitachi.

Of course, in the field of cutting-edge instruments, the United States is now the undisputed leader.

In the international authoritative publication Instrument Market Outlook, the United States accounts for half of the top 40 companies, while Germany, Britain and Japan have six each and three, including Hitachi Instruments.

“But there is a problem. The barriers to entry in the instrument industry are too severe, and the related industrial companies in Osaka are not top-notch.

I admit that these companies have made some progress, but after investing a lot of money, can they really catch up with the companies in the United States? "

John Baibo's doubt is also the reason why no one in these Osaka companies has invested heavily. In the eyes of many people, developing technology to impact the high-end instrument market is a waste of money, and it is better to consolidate the mid- and low-end markets.

I know from the Koro Nian Center that Osaka companies can do it and that there are great opportunities.

Many instrument companies from the original island countries were able to catch up, and by around 2020, the island countries' instrument companies had not only surpassed Germany and Britain in the global high-end market, but were also catching up with the United States.

It is now 95, and many instruments can achieve overtaking. These companies in Osaka have the technology, and with financial support from the Far East, there is no reason why it is impossible.

However, it is impossible for Luo Nianzhong to tell John Baibo that "No matter what, it will save much more time and effort than developing it ourselves."

Pointing to the notebook that was now in John Baibo's hands, Luo Nianzhong said, "Many of these companies are ranked in the top 100. This is a very good opportunity for us."

With semiconductors, the machine tool field has also developed very well. As long as the instrument field is in hand, Luo Nianzhong can't even imagine the future development of Rabbit.

It has developed so well despite being stuck in the bottleneck. If it is not stuck in the bottleneck, this manufacturing powerhouse will completely break out of the cage and soar into the sky.

The Far East, which provides these equipment and technologies, is like the unrestrained young man sitting on the dragon's head, flying with the wind.

"From this perspective, I don't think there will be too many obstacles."

Now that Luo Nianzhong has spoken, it is impossible for others to have any objections. This is absolute conviction.
