Chapter 381:A snake tries to swallow an elephant

Hearing Feng Xiaochen's complaint, Feng Shuyi couldn't help but pat his arm.The strength of the German woman was strong, and although Feng Shuyi took some strength at the last moment, Feng Xiaochen still made the ghost cry wolf howling.

“Aunve, why are you beating someone?”Feng Xiaochen escaped two steps and covered his arm to protest.

“You are so greedy, what you say in Chinese, call it insufficient human heart...” Feng Shuyi rebuked.

“The human heart is not enough for a serpent to swallow.”Yang Haifan smiled and filled her with this proverb.

Feng Xiaochen also grinned, Feng Shuyi said this is true, 5000 U.S. dollars a second-hand hobbing machine, is indeed cheap to home, he is actually still scraping the price of scrap steel, it is really not true.

In fact, Germans are not stupid, where do not know the value of second-hand equipment.A second-hand hobbing machine, renovated can also be used, find the right buyer, the price of thirty or fifty thousand dollars is definitely able to sell.The reason why Feng Shuyi opened the price of 5,000, in the end, is to pack and sell all the scrap steel together.An abandoned factory, in addition to machine tools, there are a lot of other waste steel, such as the workshop steel structure, the production of waste materials over the years, and the waste equipment that has not renovated value, to disassemble and move is a very troublesome thing.

Germany's high labor costs, environmental protection requirements are also high, the disposal cost of used steel is not low, if you can find a company, willing to take these troubles, the original owners do not mind those old equipment can be sold at a low price, on the right to local employees to work costs.An old device can sell for $30,000 or fifty thousand dollars, but also a theoretical possibility, to find the right buyer, it is not easy, in this sense, packaging sales is the best choice.

Feng Shuyi is a lawyer, in the past also took over some industrial enterprises property rights transfer and other business, for some understanding of this matter.This time, Feng Xiaochen was originally to let her help contact the purchase of second-hand equipment, but she had a heart, did not directly say the matter of buying second-hand equipment, but claimed that her nephew was to purchase scrap steel, the other side's psychological bottom line directly pulled to the price of scrap steel, and then on this basis with the other side to negotiate price.

The company, called the Hagen Brothers Company, a 60-year-old machinery manufacturing company, went bankrupt two years ago for a variety of reasons.The last president of the company, Hagan, was determined to find a next home to sell the company's old equipment in order to take the money to the countryside to retire.But now Europe is in the manufacturing transition period, the traditional manufacturing industry has declined, the new manufacturing process and process is different from the traditional manufacturing industry, Hagen's old equipment is difficult to find buyers, unless it is sold as scrap steel to metal recycling companies, but in this way, the price can not be sold.

After Feng Shuyi found the middleman to understand the situation, he made good offices between the two sides, and finally talked about the transaction price of all equipment and scrap iron in the whole factory was 1.8 million US dollars.The buyer also incurred an additional cost of disassembling all the equipment and steel structures and disposing of all the waste.

“$1.8 million is worth it.”

After receiving Feng Shuyi's equipment list and looking at the above equipment models, technical parameters and service life, Feng Xiaochen has a feeling of being hit by pie falling from the sky.This is not a pie, but a pie that can be bought for $1.8 million, a sea of pies.

A high-precision horizontal lathe, even if it is used, can be worth at least $100,000, and the offer here is only $10,000; an outer cylind grinder is worth ten thousand or twenty thousand dollars, and the price here is only $1,500.As for the accessories on those machine tools, what fixtures, gauges, etc., are packaged and priced, distributed, a ruler is just a few dollars.Can the calf used in the German factory be the kind of cottage goods sold in the Jinnan market?Even if it is a second-hand card ruler, it is also a German card ruler, just do not know whether it will attach a few oil paper bags or what.

"Aun Aunt, you are so great, this 1.8 million is too much!"

Feng Xiaochen almost has an impulse to hold his aunt and kiss, but the Chinese are still more subtle, he really can not do such a move, although Feng Shuyi usually nothing will push him a few times.

Feng Shuyi smiled triumphantly, she had long known that this business would certainly satisfy Feng Zhichen, and she deliberately did not discuss with Feng Xiaochen in advance, and she wanted to surprise him.When it comes to the acquisition of used machinery and equipment, it is certainly not something that Feng Shuyi, a lawyer, can determine.In the negotiation process, she found several knowledgeable friends to help, and finally even the harp are personally out of the horse, the value of various equipment has been fully assessed, but also referenced the European market second-hand equipment transactions.The final price was somewhat distressing to old Hagen, but he also knew that it was difficult for him to find such a good buyer.Some buyers may be willing to pay a high price for one or two of the devices, but to sell for $1.8 million, he may have to wait for ten or eight years.

“The problem now is that you have to find people to disassemble the equipment, especially to disassemble the original workshop and remove the scrap steel so that the old Hagen can sell the land in the factory.”I’ve been looking for people to assess that it takes 40 workers three months to disassemble the equipment, and the labor cost is estimated at $200,000.”

Feng Shuyi calmly reminded Feng Xiaochen.

“40 workers need $200,000 for three months.”Is it so expensive?”Yang Haifan lost his voice, he was born as a manager, and the human cost is very good.He thought that according to the salary of 80 yuan per person per month, 40 people for three months, that is, 10,000 yuan, how to need $200,000 in Germany?

“This is the minimum price, because the dismantling of these plants is heavy physical labor and the wage is very high.”Feng Shuyi said, "In addition to labor costs, we also need to rent a variety of construction equipment, a rough calculation, but also need more than 50,000 US dollars."

"Isn't it just to tear down a few factories and use construction equipment?"Yang Haifan said indignantly, "If it is in China, I just look for an engineering team, and I don't need any equipment, I will finish it in a month, and I can't spend so much money."

"But you are in Germany, and the labor costs in Germany are very high."Feng Shuyi Dao.

“What if we send an engineering team from China?”Feng Xiaochen asked.

“Strike engineering teams from China?”Feng Shuyi said, “Wow, you’re not joking with me, are you?”“Such a long way to get the engineering team?”

When Feng Xiaochen said this, he actually did not have a brain, just because he was not angry with Germany's high labor costs and said an angry word.When asked by Feng Shuyi, he thought seriously, thought for a while, and his face showed a smile and said:

"It's a good idea, to send 20 workers from China, plus the cost of the round trip, I'm afraid it's cheaper than asking people in Germany."You just said that it takes 40 people to do three months, and I guess that if you switch to Chinese workers, 20 people will do it in two months."

“It is entirely possible.”Yang Haifan echoed, "When Peman was in Tongchuan, he told me that our workers work much harder than German workers, the Germans do three days of work, and the Chinese spend one day to finish."If you find 20 people from China, a person gives 200 yuan a month, and less than 10,000 yuan in two months.A maximum of $30,000, taking into account the cost of living and the cost of travel in Germany.”

Feng Shuyi looked at Feng Xiaochen, then looked at Yang Haifan, and said, “Are you really going to send workers from China?”

“Must be!”Feng Xiaochen will already want to understand things, the more I think, the more I think it is more appropriate to send someone from China.Labor costs are only one aspect of his consideration, and an important factor is the difference in work attitude.Since you want to disassemble an old factory in Germany, anything of value has to be recycled.For example, the old cables in the workshop, electrical switches, needles and so on, can be transported back to China.Chinese workers see these things, will certainly be regarded as a baby, careful to lighten.And instead of rich German workers, I am afraid there is no such mentality.

“But how do you solve the visa problem to send workers over?”Yang Haifan began to think about the operational level.In China today, going abroad is a very big thing.The sending of workers abroad, of course, there are, but it is all organized by the state, and Yang Haifan really does not know how to do it.

Feng Shuyi was more familiar with this problem, she thought about it and said: "This is not difficult, we can do this in the name of Philo, that is, Philo company to acquire Hagen company, need to use a group of experienced engineering personnel, these personnel will be hired from China."With Philo's invitation letter, it is easier to find a German consulate in China to apply for a visa."

“Okay, just do that!”Feng Xiaochen nodded his head.

“If that’s the case...” Yang Haifan said in half, looked at Feng Shuyi, and swallowed the words back.

Feng Shuyi was surprised: “Mr. Yang, what’s the problem?”

Yang Haifan smiled awkwardly and said, “I was just thinking, since we sent workers over and spent so much money, is it okay...”

Feng Shuyi suddenly understood, can't help but laugh, "Haha, do you want to say, I hope I help you contact a few old enterprises, let your workers also remove them together and transport them back to China?"

Yang Haifan was a little red-faced and said, “Mrs. Feng, I know that this request is too much, but...”

"No wonder the whistle is to choose you as a partner, and like the whistle, you are not enough to swallow the heart."Feng Shuyi now learns to sell, but he speaks a proverb against it.
