Howtby's understanding of China is gradually formed.In the 1990s, he only felt the efforts of the Chinese people, and he did not see the strength of the Chinese people.But after entering the new millennium, Hotby felt more and more China's growth and felt the competitive pressure that came.

Shuangluo and other three companies and the Chinese Development Commission on the long-distance natural gas compressor procurement project, Horteby also accidentally heard from a friend.The friend and the sales director of Shuangluo company, Maxwell, was a little personal, so he also knew that Shuangluo eventually chose to reduce the price sharply in order to suppress China's own compressor research and development capabilities.When the friend relayed the matter to Hotby, he said that it was a very good marketing case, and when he heard it, Hotby laughed.

With his understanding of the Chinese, he knew that companies such as Shuang Luo and Himanez were purely smart, and their concessions on the price could only be meat buns to hit the dog in the end.The Chinese are not the kind of people who are blind, and they will never give up long-term considerations because of the cheapness in front of them.No matter how attractive the offer is, the Chinese will persistently develop their own technology until the company such as Shuangluo is completely pressed.

The past two years have confirmed Hortby’s guess.After ordering 40 compressors from abroad, China has not given up the development of domestic compressors.In the upcoming third phase of the West-East Gas Transmission project, a Chinese company called Yubei Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. obtained half of the compressor orders, while several foreign companies, including Shuangluo, allocated the remaining half, and it is said that the quotation was cut in half on the basis of the last time.Holtby heard from his friend that after five years of continuous improvement, the quality of China's self-produced compressors has been almost the same as that of European and American products, and its research on a new generation of compressors is even ahead of its European and American counterparts.

The compressor thing has nothing to do with Hotby, and his company is making investments in the electronic information industry.Last year, a British electronics company with a stake in the company went bankrupt because of poor business, and after Hotby notified the news to Bao Chengming, Bao Chengming quickly conveyed a directive to Hotby to buy the company.

The company was bought by Hotby for a slightly more expensive price than junk, and then sold the company to a Chinese electronics company as well as well as a clear-in-the-one.After the Chinese electronics company bought the company, it quickly moved all the company's equipment and technology patents back to China, and injected a lot of money to bring the company back to life in China, and then let it back to the European market.

No one objected to the deal, instead, because Holtby had earned a relatively high premium when he sold the company, and he was praised as a very business-minded person in the industry.But Holtby himself knows that this relatively high premium for the Chinese, but from the left pocket to the right pocket, because the main shares of the company are in the hands of five obscure overseas companies, and the behind-the-scenes owners of these five overseas companies must be Chinese, and these premiums are returned to the hands of the Chinese.

It was from this transaction that Holtby guessed the purpose of Feng Xiaochen's pawning.Feng Xiaochen let him focus on those companies with technology but bad business, it is the future acquisition of these enterprises.The technology of these companies is not worth much in Europe, but moving to China is valuable.Of course, Chinese companies can come directly to Europe to acquire these companies, but for various reasons, such acquisitions often encounter various troubles, and sometimes even can not achieve.It is much less difficult for Holtby to buy these bankrupt companies as European companies and then sell them from the hands of Hortby to the Chinese, after all, both buyers and sellers are a family, and it is much easier to do anything famous.

He is only a broker hired by Feng Xiaochen, and a broker like himself, is estimated to be many in Europe.Feng Xiaochen laid out this bureau eight years ago, in order to use these European companies under his control to help him complete the task of acquiring European companies, this idea is too careful, too insidious.If the plot of Feng Xiaochen can be realized, Europe will be eroded by Feng Zhichen, and the Chinese will gain strong competitiveness.

But what do you do with yourself?Hotby thought coldly in his heart.

If your employer is Chinese, you should certainly work for the Chinese.Do well, their own salary can be improved, parents and children can live a good life.On the other hand, if you refuse to do anything for the tiger, then people will kick him away, and then another obedient broker will be able to sell the European trousers.The part of the brokers is to serve the employer wholeheartedly, and what is the rise and fall of Europe and what is he doing?

Moreover, the decline of Europe is not due to his unfaithfulness, and the Europeans are too lazy and too proud, which is the key to the problem.When the Chinese work overtime, Europeans drink coffee; when the Chinese think about it, Europeans drink coffee; when the Chinese come to buy European enterprises, Europeans are still holding coffee in one hand, hand to get a pen to sign, and sell these ancestral products for coffee beans.Such a group of reincarnated coffee worms, hungry and who can blame?

When Hotby wanted to understand all this, there was no psychological burden, and his spirit tremblingly invested in the great cause of acting as a traitor.With a more sensitive sense of smell, he looked for European companies that qualified to become prey to the Chinese, ran diligently to participate in shares, and then worked diligently to make friends with the executives of the company, siphoning the inside of the company, waiting for the employer to send a noose, and hang these companies high on the southeast branch.

"Mr. Hotby, I'll introduce you."After Feng Xiaochen and Hotby shook hands, he enthusiastically introduced his ancillary to him: "This is Mr. Wang Weilong, deputy general manager of China Luoye Machinery Group, Mr. Yang Haifan, general manager of China Chenyu Construction Machinery Company, this is Mr. Cold Feiyun, Minister of Project Management of China Equipment Industry Group Corporation, this is Mr. Huang Ming, Ms. Chen Mo..."

One by one, Hotby shook hands with Feng’s entourage and said all sorts of warm welcome words.He also did not know what these positions meant, but since it was the people who followed Feng Xiaochen, it was obviously necessary for him to flatter, and there was always nothing wrong with being polite.

After a simple meeting procedure, Holtby led a Chinese guest to the parking lot.He personally helped Feng Xiaochen pull the suitcase, and flashed the secretary who had been responsible for Feng Xiaochen's suitcase, Meng Yang, to flash on the side.Meng Yang robbed twice, did not grab the suitcase from Hotby's hand, can only laugh to help Wang Weilong to take the luggage.

Dobbins saw that the boss was so courteous, and did not dare to appear too slack, he saw that there was an Oriental face next to the passenger appeared more old, holding a large box in his hand, and then an arrow stepped over, the pull rod of the box to his own hand.The old man was surprised, then shouted loudly, but it was Japanese.Huang Ming, Chen Mo and others also taunted for a while, only to know that Dobbins put on the oolong, quickly came forward to explain, let Dobbins return the box to the strange old man, in the end, there was no dispute.

The riots behind him, Hotby knew nothing, he accompanied Feng Xiaochen to the front of the line, and deliberately or unintentionally opened a little distance from the others.Seeing that no one tapped behind him, Hotby said in a low voice: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Bao told me on the phone, let me fully cooperate with your work in the United Kingdom, please ask you what you need me to do."

Feng Xiaochen said: "We came to the UK this time to find a group of accessories suppliers.Luo Ye is a company specializing in the production of large-scale open-pit mining equipment, and is developing offshore oil equipment, and they hope to find suppliers of several industrial control modules in the European market and establish long-term cooperation with them.Chenyu Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. is doing construction machinery, and they also need some suppliers of industrial control modules.Bao Chengming said that you know the European electronics company very well, so I asked him to contact you, please help us to complete the recruitment and selection of suppliers."

"That's what I should do."Hotby quickly expressed his loyalty and then reported: "After receiving Mr. Bao's instructions, I contacted dozens of electronic companies, partly in the United Kingdom and partly in continental Europe.These companies have the ability to design and produce industrial control modules, which is also well-known in the European market.I've made an appointment with them, and they said we could come to the door at any time."

"Very well, Mr. Hotby is really capable, and it is very rare to be able to contact so many companies in such a short period of time."Feng Xiaochen casually gave Hotby a compliment.

Hotby's heart is beautiful, as if the primary school students have received the praise of the head teacher.He then lowered his voice and said, "These companies are all I have been exposed to in the past, for the technical strength of various enterprises, as well as the business situation, I have a detailed record, and have been sorted out, can be submitted to Mr. Feng immediately."At present, the manufacturing industry in Europe is not very prosperous, and the business operation of these industrial control modules is also more difficult, and Mr. Feng can take advantage of this during negotiations, so that they can accept some conditions in our favor.”

"Thank you, Mr. Holtby, for your advice."Feng Xiaochen's attitude this time was sincere.What a good comrade, not only can help contact the supplier, even the details of the supplier are clear, so that they can know each other in the negotiation, with such an inside line, their own in Europe can be much easier.
