"The staffing issue is indeed a problem, but it's not that serious."

"As long as the incentive system is in place, even people who originally seem to have no enthusiasm for work will become very motivated."

"Prices have risen a lot in recent years, but because business is not good, the salary at the Capital Gear Factory has not increased, but has decreased."

"It can be said that the factories that used to have relatively good treatment in the capital area have now become completely uncompetitive."

"If we increase the salary appropriately at that time, many problems will be easily solved."

Money can solve most problems.

It’s cheesy, but it’s also true.

Besides, if there are still people causing trouble in this situation, Jiang Hui doesn’t mind firing them.

It's just the right time to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

"Another problem is that many employees have retired in the past, and these people are also a burden."

China’s past welfare security system was closely related to various state-owned enterprises, but after the acquisition, Ji Hua naturally did not want to consider the situation of those who had already retired.

This is also human nature.

"During the direct negotiations, we agreed to transfer these retired people to the Industry Bureau."

"But it's best to let the other party take the initiative to propose these plans."

“We’re just asking questions.”

"Once all the issues are resolved, the acquisition will be a natural outcome."

"In any case, there are not many competitors in the country who would compete with us for the Capital Gear Factory."

From a business perspective, Jiang Hui certainly hopes to maximize the profits of Nanshan Transmission.

This is not the time to be unnecessarily kind.

"oh, I understand now."

"When Li Nanhai comes to me again, I will talk to him in detail."

After having a clear idea in his mind, Ji Hua naturally knew what to do.

If Nanshan Transmission wants to continue to expand its market share, it will definitely need to build new factories.

Although many of the equipment at the Capital Gear Factory have reached the point of being eliminated, the factory buildings and other facilities still have certain utilization value.

The key is that many things are ready-made and business can be launched as quickly as possible.

……

"Mr. Chen, I got the news that Capital Gear Factory is discussing a total acquisition with Nanshan Transmission."

"The city seems to be quite supportive of this matter."

Lu Jianqiang came to Chen Qi's office with mixed feelings and reported the latest news he had heard.

As an important supplier of Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, Capital Gear Factory is the No. 3 entity in the automobile industry street.

No one could have imagined that it would end up being acquired by Nanshan Transmission.

"Do you think Nanshan Transmission will agree to the acquisition?"

Chen Qi behaved very calmly.

Obviously, he had heard about this matter as well.

"It depends on the negotiation conditions of both parties."

"If Li Nanhai's request is not too excessive, I think it is still possible."

"But we are all very clear about the situation at the Capital Gear Factory. Without the introduction of new technology, there is no way to save the situation."

"Even if they sell it to Nanshan Transmission, they can save a lot of money on transportation costs when they supply it to us."

After Lu Jianqiang said this, Chen Qi did not object.

Competition is an objective fact.

"As long as their acquisition does not affect our future supply of aftermarket parts, I have no objection."

"Otherwise, if we continue to delay it, it will only cause more trouble."

Chen Qi didn't want to be blocked by Li Nanhai at the door of his office every now and then. Life like that would be too uncomfortable.

The key point is that his administrative level is the same as Li Nanhai's, so it's not good to say anything too unpleasant.

"Yeah, I'm also worried about the supply of aftermarket parts and parts that are being matched, but there's nothing else."

"Nanshan Transmission is the most powerful transmission company in China. Even BorgWarner has approached them for cooperation."

"Even Nanshan Transmission's technology has now surpassed Aisin and ZF, which is not easy."

After Lu Jianqiang understood Chen Qi's meaning, he also began to adjust his rhetoric.

Since the leader thinks this acquisition is good, then fine.

If you think too much about something, just treat it as unnecessary worry.

"Please keep an eye on the progress of this cooperation project and consider whether we should intervene based on our situation."

Lu Jianqiang is now mainly concerned with the mass production of Capital Mercedes-Benz, but sooner or later he will be the future factory director.

Chen Qi didn't mind keeping him busy.

Also paying attention to this matter is Aisin in Japan.

"President, Nanshan Transmission first established a joint venture with BorgWarner, and now it is considering acquiring Capital Gear Factory, which was once the largest transmission company in China."

"This shows that the other party is very ambitious. I think it is necessary to intervene."

As the sales manager of Aisin, Takada Zeichi is very concerned about all the developments of Nanshan Transmission.

Especially during this period, the other party has made quite a stir in the 6AT automatic transmission.

He became even more concerned.

"How do you want to intervene?"

Tanaka Taiji sighed and didn't think he could interfere with this project.

The Capital Gear Factory is a state-owned enterprise in China, and he had heard of it a long time ago.

As for Nanshan gearbox, there is no need to say more.

Aisin has no say in this project.

"What if we take the initiative to contact them and want to take over their factory?"

"If we directly acquire the Capital Gear Factory, we only need to arrange a few dozen people to assist, and then improve the equipment, and we can smoothly produce 4AT automatic transmissions."

"In the Chinese auto market, 4AT automatic transmission still has great prospects."

"After we start local production in Huaxia, the cost in all aspects can be made similar to that of Nanshan gearbox."

"By then, there will definitely be some customers who will consider using our products."

When Takada Zeyi said this, Tanaka Taiji couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Why hadn't he considered acquiring a Chinese gearbox company before?

As long as the acquisition is completed smoothly, Aisin will be able to obtain a group of Chinese customer resources.

With Aisin's technology in the field of 4AT automatic transmission, there should still be great potential for development.

After all, for many products, the more advanced your technology is, the better they will sell.

In Taiji Tanaka's opinion, there is still room for development for both 4AT and 5AT in the automotive transmission market in the next ten years.

The spring of 6AT will not come into being until the late s or even the st century.

"We don't know much about China. Will the acquisition bring us a lot of trouble?"

When Tanaka Taiji said this, it was obvious that he was a little moved.

There is no way around it. Acquiring China's once largest gearbox company is still a rather exciting thing.

"We can find a professional company to help us complete the acquisition, or even ask some intermediary companies to help handle the business that is inconvenient for us to handle."

"In the end, I think the cost of building a gearbox factory like this is not that high."

"After all, the other party's development has been in trouble in the past two years, and it has become difficult to make a profit."

China has been undergoing comprehensive reform for several years. Although the outside world still knows very little about China, it is much better than before.

Especially in the automotive industry, the emergence of the BMW Group has attracted automobile manufacturers and parts companies from all over the world to set their sights on China.

"Then go and give it a try."

"It would be great if it succeeds, but it doesn't matter if it fails."

With the movements of Aisin, Nanshan Transmission's acquisition of Capital Gear Factory is bound to have more twists and turns.

"Dad, instead of selling the Capital Gear Factory to the Nanshan Transmission Factory, why not sell it to Aisin in Japan?"

"This is also a move to attract foreign investment. At that time, there will be foreign exchange investment in the factory."

In the staff quarters of the Capital Gear Factory, Li Nanhai had just returned home when his son took the initiative to talk to him about the acquisition of the factory.

"How did Ai Xin find you?"

Li Nanhai frowned and looked at his son a little unhappily.

What is the background of Nanshan Transmission and what is the background of Aisin?
Can he still know?

Unless Nanshan Transmission gives up voluntarily, Aisin will definitely not be able to snatch it away.

Of course, if Aisin is willing to use its financial strength, that would be another matter.

"I have a classmate who went to Japan to study abroad before. He helped me make the connection this time."

There is nothing to hide about this matter.

Li Dachang must explain the situation clearly, otherwise Li Nanhai will not change his mind.

"The relationship between Aisin and Nanshan Transmission is very special. You cannot control it. Don't interfere casually."

Seeing that the Capital Gear Factory could no longer operate, Li Nanhai gave up the idea of ​​training his son to be his successor.

Now I am thinking about sorting out the things in the factory as much as possible before I retire, so that I can have less trouble in the future.

Otherwise, who knows what might happen.

In the past few years, his position as factory director was definitely not clean.

"As long as we find a way to sell the factory to Aisin, they agreed to pay $100,000."

"Dad, with our current salary, when will we be able to save $100,000?"

"And the other party said that if I was interested, they could arrange for me to study for a master's degree at a university in Japan."

“This is a rare opportunity.”

After Li Dachang said this, Li Nanhai fell silent.

One hundred thousand dollars. He didn't expect Ai Xin to be so generous.

Now on the black market, one US dollar can be exchanged for seven or eight RMB.

One hundred thousand dollars, even if he is a factory manager, he would be tempted.

"One hundred thousand dollars is nothing to Ai Xin."

"If we want to sell the factory to Aisin, there are many things we need to take care of."

"You can't ask us to pay for it, right?"

"So unless they're willing to raise it to $30, it's off the table."

After talking about so many difficulties, Li Nanhai's goal is to increase the money.

He thought it was worth considering taking the opportunity to get rid of the troubles in the factory and make some money.

All due respect to Franklin, after all.

Especially Franklin, who was worth $300,000, deserved his respect even more.

"It should be fine. The other party is just testing it first."

"I'll call them back shortly."

Li Dachang excitedly started making phone calls.

In this way, things will naturally become different.

……

"Director, the situation has changed a bit."

"We had originally been in good talks with the Capital Gear Factory, and the factory invested 5000 million yuan to buy all of the land, factory buildings and equipment where the Capital Gear Factory is located."

“Those over 50 will be returned to the Industry Bureau, and we are no longer responsible for retired people.”

"After the acquisition, they paid back wages for the past two years and agreed to a 30% salary increase."

"But now Aisin has stepped in and is willing to pay 5500 million yuan for the acquisition."

“And the purchase price was paid in U.S. dollars.”

"We will also ensure that we will invest $1000 million in equipment in the future."

Ji Hua didn't expect that such a stable thing would actually cause a gear change in the end, and he felt a little depressed.

"Aisin's price is so accurate, but it's only 10 points higher than ours?"

Jiang Hui immediately felt something was wrong.

Although there was a difference of 500 million yuan, he absolutely did not believe that no one had revealed the price of the Nanshan gearbox.

"It's a little doubtful, but we don't have any evidence."

"Director, how about we raise the price a bit?"

Ji Hua obviously wanted to complete this acquisition.

He has this kind of thinking both in public and in private.

However, if you want to add more money, you must get Jiang Hui's consent.

"There's definitely no problem with adding money."

"But we can't let the Capital Gear Factory think that they have such a rare commodity."

"And I suspect that Li Nanhai or someone in their factory's leadership team leaked our information to Ai Xin."

"So I don't want to get caught up in endless offers."

After Jiang Hui said this, Ji Hua naturally fully agreed.

"Director, I'll go and find out what happened in the past few days."

"Why did the project that was being discussed so well suddenly change its mind?"

Ji Hua now also feels that there is a problem at the Capital Gear Factory.

But he had no evidence.

Fortunately, he still has a lot of connections at the Capital Gear Factory, so it is not difficult to find out some information.

"Aisin has great ambitions in the gearbox market, and the domestic automobile market will also be vast in the future."

"It's impossible for us to stop Ai Xin from coming in, but there's no problem in delaying their entry."

Since the word "war" is added to the commercial war, naturally all means must be used.

See who is the winner in the end.

If you succeed, then the right to speak will naturally be in your hands.

When the time comes, there will be great scholars who will debate for you.

"I understand that the 6AT automatic transmission has attracted the attention of many competitors during this period."

"I guess they are a little anxious."

"Especially at this time, we must defend the local market even more."

Before Aisin's involvement, Ji Hua thought that the acquisition of Capital Gear Factory was not that important.

But it is different now.

It has become an important means to prevent Aisin from quickly entering the Chinese market.

Then this matter must be taken seriously. (End of this chapter)
