Chapter 871:New demographic dividend

Feng Xiaochen frequented contacts between Central Europe during this time, and Beauvais called him and asked him for a second meeting, when he happened to visit Han Jiangyue's Dolin Company in the Netherlands to assist Han Jiangyue to complete the merger and acquisition of the Dowling Company of the new hydraulics.

Dowling company is a long-established hydraulic parts manufacturer in Europe, the previous main product is the fan reducer.The last time a European fan company went to China to investigate the production of Chinese wind turbine manufacturers, the president of Dowling, Nye, also went.In China's Xinmin Hydraulic Company, which also produces wind blowers, Nei saw a more spectacular production line than Dowling, and learned that the deceleration mechanism of the new hydraulics caused less than half of the company, and as more new equipment is invested, its cost will further decline.

Seeing this situation, Ney made a decisive decision to close Dowling's factory in Europe and handing over all orders to the new hydraulic foundry.He calculated that even after paying a contract fee to the new hydraulics, the profits obtained by Dowling on each reducer were more than doubled from the past.

According to Nye's idea, after abandoning production, Dowling will mainly focus on R&D and sales, and its R&D centers and sales centers are located in Europe, which can ensure that most of the profits are obtained by Europeans.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very bone-like.Less than half a year after the full transfer of production business to China, the R&D department of Dowling Company was in an awkward position.Many problems in the production process require engineers to go to the scene to deal with, and sending people from Europe to China to guide production is a very time-consuming and laborious thing.At first, the engineers had some interest in traveling to China, and after everyone ran a few trips, everyone took the trip as a burden, and each time they had to decide who to send.

Later, bigger problems came up.Due to the disconnection from the production process, the European R&D center in Dowling can not master the technical dynamics, some of the new ideas generated in the production process, can not be fed back to the R & D center, and some ideas of the R & D center will often prove to be difficult to achieve.In contrast, the new hydraulics' own R&D center can track technology hotspots at any time, and repeatedly can comply with production requirements, propose solutions, and press their European counterparts below.

Under pressure, Ney eventually had to decide to move part of the European R&D center to China, directly linked to the production process.One department has moved, and its communication with other departments has become a problem, so other departments have also moved to China.Because most European engineers did not want to leave their homes and worked in China for a long time, the Dowling Research and Development Center fired some engineers in Europe and recruited a large number of Chinese engineers to work in Chinese research centers.

The next thing is logical.Ney found that it didn’t make sense to maintain a research and development center far away in China, and that it might be more efficient to combine the research center with the new hydraulic research and development center.As for the European headquarters of Dowling, it is better to focus on doing market development.

“In this way, Ney became our new European hydraulic agent.He sells both the reducer of the Dowlin and the new hydraulic reducer, which is more profitable than the new hydraulic reducer.”Han Jiang Yue smiled and introduced Feng Xiaochen.

“Isn’t that Ney’s compensation to the lady and the soldier?”Feng Xiaochen teased.

Han Jiangyin said: "In fact, Nai can't do it.He originally wanted to keep the R&D center in Europe, but his engineers were paid several times more than we wanted, and even if they had more experience than our new recruits for college students, we would compete with three or four of us, and they were certainly better than that.Instead of holding it hard, it is better to subcontract the research and development work to us.”

“We used to say that China has the advantage of cheap labor, but now that advantage has shifted to engineers.Our engineers are also the cheapest in the world, which means that our research and development costs are much lower than those in the West.”Feng Xiaochen concluded.

In the minds of some people, technology research and development is a genius staring at the wall, and then suddenly the light flashes, so an epoch-making invention appeared.Based on this understanding, they criticized the lack of innovation ability of Chinese college students, calling for the burden to be reduced from the beginning of primary school, let the children play more piano, more Shakespeare, it is said that this can cultivate inspiration.

In fact, most of the time, technology research and development is in the pile of money and pilers, the daily work of researchers is to constantly do experiments, in one and a while, again and again to find the right path.It doesn’t take much inspiration to do these things, it takes hundreds or thousands of engineers to pile up their experiences like brick-laying migrant workers until they succeed.

Computer professionals often jokingly call themselves "code farmers", in fact, it is reasonable.Programming is also a research work, but it’s not romantic at all, nor is it thrilling.Most algorithms are fixed, and all programmers have to do is stack them up and turn them into a program that solves problems.

The process of designing a car or a machine tool is no different from programming, and it is also a combination of a number of fixed patterns to achieve the best, and to achieve this, the most important thing is to have a large number of basic knowledge and cheap engineers.

Since the university expansion in 1999, the number of new students enrolled in Chinese universities has continued to grow by double-digit percentages every year, and tens of millions of science and engineering talents have been trained so far.The vast majority of them are certainly different from Einstein's level, but they are good enough to be able to work for the day-to-day technology research and development of a factory, and over time, many of them will become skilled engineers, and their level is comparable to that of their counterparts in Europe and the United States.

The number of science and engineering graduates in the tens of millions is the new demographic dividend that China has formed after entering the new century, which is unmatched by any country in the world.

“This time, we intend to buy Dowling’s research centers and several factories in Europe, and in the future we will send people to Europe to work with engineers in Europe to learn from their experience.”The patents accumulated by Dowling in the past are very important to us.With these patents and R&D experience, I am confident that the new hydraulics will be made into the top five hydraulic tool manufacturers in the world.”Han Jiang said with an edict.

“I’ve always admired the strength of Mr. Han.”Feng Xiaochen said with a smiley face.

Han Jiang Yue Bai Feng Xiaochen looked at Feng Xiaochen and said, "You don't have to irch me, I, and my fat man, have benefited from your guidance, and now you have achieved your achievements."The fat man has now done business in Africa, and Xu Lao, and followed the fat man flying around all day, I really pinch a sweat for him, in case the old man has something lost, I think the fat man's whole body squeezed out is not enough to pay."

Feng Xiaochen smiled, “You don’t have to worry about this.I know this old engineer.If they don’t let them do things, they will be all wrong; let them do something, they are more energetic than ever.Last month I also visited Xue Lao, who was red-faced, more spirit than when I first met him 30 years ago.”

Han Jiang Yue laughed, taking an 80-year-old man and his 50-year-old, can actually appear more spiritual, Feng Xiaochen is really big enough.However, she also knows the situation that Feng Xiaochen said, because her father retired after a time of mental malaise, and then she asked her father to go to the new hydraulics to be honorary chairman, so that he had the opportunity to go to the workshop, the result of the old man's spirit immediately came up, and even learned to open CNC machine tools, nothing in front of her.

"We acquired the Dowling company this thing, not enough teeth, but Yang's merger and acquisition of Pumai construction machinery, is a big deal."Of course, this is also Feng's big hand.I heard that the US Department of Commerce has also intervened in this matter a while ago, how is the situation now?”Han Jiangyin led the conversation back to Feng Zhichen.Chen Yuguo investment acquisition of Pu Mei's affairs, Han Jiangyue is very understanding, she also previously to Feng Xiaochen booked a number of hydraulic technology patents owned by the company, hoping that Feng Xiaochen put the Pumay company as a whole after the bag, can resell this part of the patent to the new hydraulic.

Feng Xiaochen licked his phone and said, “I just got a call from the European Commission that there was still some trouble selling us sensitive technology, but they found a way to work, and asked me to talk to them in the past.”

“What kind of work?”Han Jiang asked unconsciously.

Feng Xiaochen smiled slightly and said: "They did not say on the phone, I did not shigue, anyway, the money in my hand, to meet my expectations, I will pay for it."If I don't get what I expected, let them keep the factory."

Han Jiangyue looked into Feng Xiaochen's eyes, smiled, and said, "Feng, you can't fool me."I think their plan was already in your expectation, right?Pu Mei Construction Machinery Company, you and Yang are always determined to get, you will not be so lightly.Is there any conspiracy that I have to hide from?”

“How can there be a conspiracy!”Feng Xiaochen pretended to face and said, "Comrade Han Jiangyue, you should believe the character of a national cadre, well, even if I am no longer a state cadre, but the character is still completely credible."

Han Jiangyue covered his mouth and smiled, “As a friend, of course I believe in your character.”However, those enemies who believe in your character now seem to have been swept into the garbage.Well, I know that your business needs to be kept secret, and it doesn’t force you to tell it.It's almost over, and you'll hurry to Stuttgart, and I and the fat man wish you success."
