Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 351 Where Hu Jiangshan Can Help
Yu Wei asked again: "Mr. Hu, what are your plans for the future? Will you continue to work hard towards aerospace development? I mean, will you accept orders for satellite launches?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Hu Jiangshan, including Hu Wenxin.

In fact, Hu Wenxin has been thinking about this matter in recent days. What exactly is this "darling son" planning? Does he really want to go far in the aerospace industry?
The Hu family's business is so large, and has nothing to do with the aerospace industry. Doesn't it seem unwise to develop this business?
Doesn’t Hu Jiangshan plan to inherit Hezhong Group?

That is not a good idea. If Hu Jiangshan does not inherit it, it will definitely fall into the hands of others.

Among Hu Yingxiang's lineage, Hu Jiangshan is the only one, but there are many descendants from other branches of the Hu family, and many of them are eyeing the position of the person in charge of Hezhong Group.

Hu Jiangshan said: "Mr. Yu, to be honest, I haven't thought about it that much right now. I just want to run the space launch site well. As for the field of satellite launch, I have no plans to get involved for the time being."

Yu Wei nodded: "I see. Xiao Hu always wants to run the space launch site well. It is important to do the things at hand well. He is not too ambitious and is very pragmatic."

At this point, Yu Wei turned to Hu Wenxin and said, "Boss Hu really trained me well."

Hu Wenxin smiled and waved her hand: "Hey! Don't listen to his nice words for now, wait until it's done."

In fact, many people are still not optimistic about whether Hu Jiangshan can operate the so-called space launch site.

What's the point of being able to launch a rocket into space? It only means that the space launch site is available, but there must also be customers who place orders to deliver the rocket for launch.

Although most people do not understand the maintenance costs of a space launch site, common sense tells us that the maintenance costs of high-tech facilities are very high, possibly far beyond imagination.

If there are no customers, or not too many customers, and the cash flow is insufficient, the launch site will not be able to operate and will eventually become a decoration.

So is Hu Jiangshan just playing around, and is he doing this for a long time just to show off that he is very powerful and capable?
Many people are also unsure, including his father Hu Wenxin.

Hu Wenxin's idea was to let Hu Jiangshan do it first, and do whatever he could. Even if he failed or didn't persist, it didn't matter, at least he had exercised his abilities and laid a foundation for taking over Hezhong Group in the future.

After finishing the meal, everyone got on a medium-sized bus and set off.

No need to ask, this time we went to the headquarters of Huaxun Technology.

Huaxun Technology is headquartered in the Beijiao Industrial Park in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

The Beijiao Industrial Park is very large, and almost all the larger manufacturing companies in Guangzhou and Shenzhen are located there, accounting for at least over 80 percent.

Of course, there are conditions for settling in the Northern Suburbs Industrial Park. First of all, it must be a manufacturing industry with relatively high technological content.

Traditional manufacturing companies and those that cause heavy pollution, such as chemical and smelting industries, cannot move in there, and they cannot even stay in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, so they can only move out.

There is certainly no problem with Huaxun Technology. The products produced by this company are high-tech manufacturing equipment with very high technical content.

It is still a conservative statement to say that we can be regarded as the leader among suppliers of similar equipment in the mainland, leading by a huge margin, and that we are also quite competitive internationally.

In fact, if cost and production capacity are taken into account, Huaxun Technology may be the strongest one in Bluestar.

Because of this, Huaxun Technology often takes the initiative when negotiating with potential companies, and even makes people feel aggressive and bullying customers.

This is somewhat similar to the corporate style of Huayao and Biyangdi. It would be uncomfortable to talk about cooperation with them, but there are also great benefits in cooperating with such companies.

Once the deal is done, we will devote our whole heart to the order. Once the supply contract is signed, we will try our best to complete the order with quality and quantity guaranteed. There will be no accidents, unless there are some force majeure factors that may affect the delivery of the order.

After the product is delivered, follow-up services can also be guaranteed.

Only such enterprises can retain customers.

There is no way. Not to mention the product quality, if we cooperate with other suppliers, the gap will be too big.

Therefore, the more such enterprises are, the bigger and stronger they can become. After all, good reputation and advanced technology are the real good things. Nice words are useless.

In the car, no one talked much.

Some closed their eyes to rest, some were lost in thought, and some were looking at their phones. The atmosphere was quite serious.

Hu Jiangshan seemed like nothing had happened. He looked at the street scenes through the car window. He felt as if he was in another world and revisiting an old place.

Hu Jiangshan had walked this road many times in his previous life, but he had never taken a serious look at it. Now, on the contrary, he was in a better mood to appreciate these things that passed by.

The feeling of being a human being in two lives is indeed different.

After a while, the bus arrived in the suburbs, and the buildings began to become sparse, with factory buildings one after another.

This is the strength of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the most prosperous manufacturing regions in the mainland.

However, in recent years, the development of Guangzhou and Shenzhen has begun to focus on high-tech industries, and a large number of manufacturing industries have moved to surrounding areas.

After a while, the minibus entered the yard of a park and stopped in the parking lot.

Hu Jiangshan got out of the car and looked around.

Directly opposite is a five-story office building. Although it is not tall, it covers a very large area.

This is a typical R&D enterprise configuration.

We have arrived at the headquarters of Huaxun Technology.

At this time, someone came to greet us.

The leader was a slightly bald and somewhat plump man named Cao Yifeng.

Hu Jiangshan had dealt with Huaxun Technology in his previous life, but he basically came into contact with R&D personnel, so he had no impression of Cao Yifeng.

However, Hu Jiangshan recognized the tall and thin man following behind Cao Yifeng.

The tall and thin man had messy hair and wore thick, high-power glasses. It was obvious that he was not a manager, or at least not from a management background.

Hu Jiangshan is the R&D director of Huaxun Technology, named Yan Zhixue.

Yan Zhixue graduated from Northwestern Polytechnical University and is absolutely a top technical personnel. Hu Jiangshan had communicated with this person a lot in his previous life.

Yan Zhixue is a proud and arrogant person with a bad temper, as if he looks down on everyone. However, he has one advantage: if someone has better technical skills, stronger abilities, and knows more than him, Yan Zhixue will be very convinced and behave like a gentleman.

Cao Yifeng was very enthusiastic. He took everyone to a reception room and gave everyone mineral water.

It is indeed the style of a practical enterprise, and it is more convenient to distribute mineral water.

Soon, both sides set up their positions and began negotiations.

With Hu Wenxin on the scene, Huaxun Technology naturally couldn't be careless anymore and had to adopt a negotiating attitude. Hu Jiangshan behaved very obediently, just sitting by and listening as the two sides exchanged verbal attacks.

To be honest, there is nothing new about this process.

Hu Jiangshan has seen this in his previous life and this life. The negotiation process is very long, everyone has their own interests, and it is very difficult to reach a consensus.

Generally speaking, both parties have to make a certain degree of compromise before they can finally reach a cooperation agreement.

Hezhong Group needs to purchase production line equipment from Huaxun Technology. The purchase amount is not small. It was originally a very simple matter, just hand over the money and receive the goods.

So where is the disagreement between the two sides?

As mentioned earlier, when purchasing equipment, Huaxun required the purchaser to sign a number of additional equipment usage terms, some of which were difficult for Hezhong Group to accept.

The United Chinese Group is a large enterprise in Hong Kong Island. They have always believed that once you buy something, you can use it however you want. Isn't signing these things like being bullied?
Huaxun is innocent. They also sign these agreements with other clients. The contents are the same. Why can other clients accept them, but only yours has objections? Is there anything special in your agreement?
At this time, Cao Yifeng said, "Mr. Hu, it's not that we are unsympathetic. These additional terms are indeed the company's regulations. All customers need to sign them. If your company does not sign them, other customers will know about it and will undoubtedly cause trouble for us."

Hu Wenxin said calmly, "Boss Cao, I know this, but customers are different. What is our purchase amount? We have already reached 50 million yuan in advance. The equipment we need to purchase to complete the factory may cost 300 million yuan. If the time is extended, we must maintain long-term cooperation."

Cao Yifeng said: "I know that Hezhong is indeed a big customer, but..."

Cao Yifeng said this, turned his head and glanced at Yan Zhixue who was sitting next to him, and then said: "It is like this, our equipment is indeed quite special and needs constant upgrades and technical support. Signing these terms of the agreement is also to enable us to better serve our customers."

Yan Zhixue didn't say anything the whole time, but he sat there like a giant Buddha, with a strong presence.

Moreover, everyone in Hezhong also discovered that when Cao Yifeng was speaking, he would glance at Yan Zhixue from time to time, as if asking what Yan Zhixue meant.

In other words, Yan Zhixue's position in Huaxun Technology is even higher than outsiders imagine.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan knew Yan Zhixue's background. This guy was quite powerful.

Huaxun Technology is a technology-oriented enterprise, and the status of technical employees is quite high, especially top R&D personnel like Yan Zhixue, who all have considerable shares and have a higher status than ordinary executives.

Cao Yifeng is a senior executive in the business department and he really needs to ask Yan Zhixue's opinion.

At this time, Yan Zhixue found that everyone was looking at him. It would be inappropriate to keep silent, so he said: "Customers should be treated equally regardless of their size."

Wow, he was so concise and to the point, without any nonsense and not even a word of politeness.

Cao Yifeng coughed lightly, feeling that Yan Zhixue's words were too stiff, and quickly added a few soft words.

The conversation lasted for nearly two hours, and everyone was exhausted, but there was still no result.

During the half-time break, some people drank water, while others went out for some fresh air.

Hu Wenxin and Yu Wei were chatting in a low voice.

Hu Wenxin said: "The other party is holding on too hard. It seems that he really doesn't want to give in."

Yu Wei sighed: "This is normal. I asked my friends who run businesses in the mainland, and Huaxun basically said the same thing to other customers, and in the end they didn't give in."

Hu Wenxin said: "Hua Xun is so tough. Doesn't it consider the feelings of its customers?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Technology-oriented companies are all like this."

“I really saw it today.”

Hu Wenxin was silent for a moment, then said, "If there is no other way, we can only sign it. The factory's schedule is very tight, and we really can't afford to waste time."

Yu Wei nodded and said, "Mr. Hu, if Huaxun insists on making concessions on the additional terms, then we can ask them for a discount on the purchase price. I think there is still room for improvement in this regard."

"It can only be the."

This negotiation strategy was actually discussed in the past two days and is a relatively bad situation.

Judging from Hu Wenxin's tone, he was obviously still unwilling.

But there is no way around it. Huaxun is indeed more confident, and Hezhong does not have many bargaining chips.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan stood up and walked out of the reception room, and saw Yan Zhixue standing at the end of the corridor, staring at a wall in a daze.

Hu Jiangshan's heart moved and he walked over.

It turned out that Yan Zhixue was looking at a cross-sectional model of a mechanical structure hanging on the wall.

On the wall of Huaxun Technology's office building, there is a similar painting hung at regular intervals.

This is not an ordinary cross-sectional view, but a three-dimensional one, so it looks very real, and the mechanical structure and operating principle are clearly visible.

Yan Zhixue looked at the cross-section drawing with a frown on his face, obviously thinking about something.

Hu Jiangshan was a scientific researcher in his previous life. He understood both theory and application and had achievements in various fields. He was an all-rounder.

Hu Jiangshan understands people like Yan Xuewen very well. He is always thinking about research and development, especially when he encounters a difficult problem that he cannot solve.

When Hu Jiangshan came over, Yan Zhixue didn't even notice him, as he had already entered a state of ecstasy.

Hu Jiangshan did not "wake up" Yan Zhixue, but looked at the cross-section diagram of the mechanical structure again and suddenly felt very familiar.

Oh, right, Hu Jiangshan suddenly remembered.

Hu Jiangshan had seen a similar mechanical structure in his previous life, and at that time he was helping an equipment company solve a design defect.

This defect is very serious and greatly affects the operating life and stability of the equipment. It is also very difficult to solve and has plagued the company for many years.

Not only that, this defect cannot be solved by domestic and foreign counterparts.

After reading it, Hu Jiangshan felt that it was indeed very difficult, but at the same time it also aroused his competitive spirit. He invested a lot of energy and it took him nearly a year to solve it.

Hu Jiangshan also became more famous because of this, and won the first prize of National Science and Technology Contribution in the second year, which was quite impressive.

Apparently, Huaxun Technology has also encountered this design flaw, and Yan Zhixue is racking his brains to figure out a solution.

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly, as if he could help Huaxun and indirectly help Hezhong Group at the same time.
