The zipper produced in Chapter 122 circled the earth

The small zipper has brought Wu Guangyao a lot of profits, and for this reason, Yaoshi Industry has also risen.

As the backing of PG zipper, Yaoshi Industry naturally needs to be more powerful.

From the beginning of mechanical improvement and research and development, it is now ready to enter the smelter, forming a comprehensive industrial chain.

Wu Guangyao plans to invest in the construction of a smelter on Hong Kong Island, specializing in the production of brass and aluminum alloy, which will be supplied to PG zippers.

At present, the world uses copper and aluminum alloy materials to produce zippers.

Non-metal zippers have not yet been developed, but PG Zipper London R&D department is developing in this direction!

Hong Kong Island heavy industry is not unavailable. After all, there are even shipyards, but there are currently no Chinese involved in heavy industry.

Wu Guangyao believes that after the smelter starts production, in terms of raw materials, the cost of zippers will be further reduced.

However, the smelter obviously needs external technical support. For this reason, Wu Guangyao’s trip to Dongying was to persuade the long-term cooperation with Dongying Sagaguan Smelter to assist Yaoshi Industry and provide some technical support.

Saga Seki Smelter is located in the Eastern Osaka Heavy Industry Zone in the Hanshin Industrial Zone.

As a long-term major customer, Kitanogawa, the chairman of Saga Seki Smelting Plant, personally received Wu Guangyao.

Wu Guangyao explained his intentions. Kitanogawa shook his head and said, "Mr. Wu, we are not going to sell technology! Besides, we have been cooperating very happily. Why do you choose to build your own factory? Moreover, Hong Kong Island is not very suitable for heavy industry. ."

Old things, how can Hong Kong Island be unsuitable for heavy industry, not without it.

Moreover, the labor and tax rates on Hong Kong Island are very low. Whatever is not suitable, as long as you have the skills!

"Mr. Kitano, don't rush to refuse! The core smelting technology is already mastered by Yaoshi Industrial, so we will not give up. Your Saga Seki Smelter has always been our largest aluminum alloy supplier, but it is not The only one. So, you need to consider carefully and help us build a smelter. Not only will you get a lot of income, we will still have the opportunity to cooperate in the later period; otherwise, if you give up, you just give the money to others; in the same way, we too We have to terminate the cooperation and choose a smelter that is willing to help us."

Wu Guangyao’s words are very straightforward. I am paying for your technology. If you don’t sell it, I won’t even give you any future aluminum alloy orders.

At present, PG zipper can already source raw materials in all of Asia. Australia and Star City have these raw materials. Even in Dongying, there are many smelters that can cooperate.

Kitanogawa did not expect Wu Guangyao to be so decisive. He thought that this Hong Kong Islander needed few raw materials and channels; but at present, he was obviously ready to break with himself.

Kitanogawa fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere of the entire conference room suddenly sighed.

Obviously some of the subordinates of the two sides knew each other, and they were immediately embarrassed. The boss fights fiercely!

"I want to know, how much aluminum alloy do you need each year?" Kitanogawa asked, looking up.

"About 50,000 tons!" Wu Guangyao gave a rough figure, which is actually six to seventy thousand tons per year.

Kitanogawa was shocked when he heard that PG Zipper only purchased about 30,000 tons in his own factory every year, which means that they still have a half of them handed over to other smelters.

I don’t know if it’s Dongying’s smelter. If it’s a foreign smelter, the PG zipper will become even better!

"We can provide free technical support, but you will still need to purchase 150,000 tons of aluminum alloy from us within 5 years."

Kitanogawa’s words made Wu Guangyao almost laugh. Isn’t this giving yourself free technical support?

Calculated based on the one-year preparation period for the Hong Kong Island Smelter, it is necessary to continue to purchase 70,000 tons from outside, that is, to continue to purchase 80,000 tons in the next four years. There is basically no problem.

Furthermore, there is still a lot of room for the sales of PG zippers. Wu Guangyao had no plans to produce all the raw materials by himself.

After all, the output of the new smelter may not go up!

The smelter on Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao planned according to the specifications of 50,000 tons of aluminum alloy and 10,000 tons of brass.

Obviously, this output cannot meet the requirements of PG zipper, so we still need to purchase from outside.

After signing the contract, Wu Guangyao couldn't help saying: "Mr. Kitano, if the cooperation is happy, we will continue to purchase your aluminum alloy every year in the future!"

Hearing Wu Guangyao said this, Kitanogawa clearly understood that he underestimated the demand for aluminum alloy for PG zipper!

But it’s nothing. It’s good to show me and try to get a long-term user, Kitanogawa thought in his heart.

"Of course, we will send elite soldiers to ensure smooth production in your smelter!"

This is what I want!

In fact, Yaoshi Industry has developed aluminum alloys and has mastered the core materials of aluminum alloys.

It's just that we are very unfamiliar with factoryization, scale and equipment, so we need external technical support.

Unlike the “market for technology” proposed by later generations, the reality is that you will never get the core technology, the market is lost, and the core technology is not. Just considering wishful thinking, the company’s strategy of adopting the market for technology has completely failed.

Later Nissan President Carlos Ghosn said at the Tokyo Motor Show: "The joint venture partner of China Xia, in addition to providing low-cost labor and sales channels, has almost zero contribution to actual operation and management."

What a big irony!

So, Wu Guangyao absorbed experience and decided from the beginning to conduct research and development of aluminum alloy, master core technology, and then consider investing in building a factory.

As for the smelting of brass, Yaoshi Industry decided not to trouble others, and can summarize it by referring to the entire process of aluminum alloy smelting.

After all, what Yaoshi Industry lacks is not the secret recipe!

The smelter of Yaoshi Industry still chose Shauqiwan. This time the Hong Kong government also generously approved 80 acres of land. After all, it is a heavy industry and it is too small to run.

In the multi-functional office building of PG Zipper Industrial Park, the management and technical work types of PG Zipper and Yaoshi Industry are crowded with meeting rooms.

Obviously, today is a big meeting!

On the podium, Wu Guangyao watched hundreds of elite talents below, and the audience was silent.

"Today, we are going to hold an oath meeting!" Wu Guangyao said.

"From today, this is our company's trademark!" Wu Guangyao held up a cardboard with a circular trademark painted on it.

"This circular trademark means that the company's annual zipper production length can circle the earth. This is a goal of all of us, and everyone should make greater contributions to this goal!"

Wu Guangyao was on the podium, planning for the future of PG zipper ecstatically, and the people in the audience were in awe.

Wu Guangyao convened such a meeting, not to pretend to be B, but to discover that the company has a trend recently.

Everyone feels that PG zipper has taken the lead in completing the industrialization process of zipper history, and now it is the number one zipper manufacturer in the world, so there is no vitality, as if people are in their twilight years.

In fact, what many people don’t know is that if you don’t keep innovating, PG zipper will not last for 3 years, and it will be squeezed out of the altar by the three companies of YKK zipper of Dongying, Optron of Switzerland, and Tyrone of the United States.

So, as the boss, as the navigator of this huge ship, it is necessary to set a grand goal for everyone!

Wu Guangyao knows that at its peak, YKK can produce 14 million zippers every day, employ 20,000 workers, and have 10,000 overseas employees.

I only produce 1 million zippers a day, which is just beginning to develop!

Therefore, the subsequent demand for zippers will increase sharply year by year.

With the current scale of PG zipper, it may not last for three years because of insufficient production capacity and lack of competitiveness.

In this conference, Wu Guangyao is mainly talking about the future trends, so that everyone can maintain a good attitude!

After the meeting, two company executives were called to continue the meeting.

"Do you think that our PG zipper needs to break through in those directions at the moment, everyone talk about it, discuss and discuss!" Wu Guangyao took the lead in throwing the topic.

In fact, in many directions, Wu Guangyao has already begun to make arrangements, but I just hope that these people can also provide some opinions.

"Accuracy and fastness, I think our next batch of machines must spend a lot of effort on these two aspects. A zipper can never make a piece of clothing, but it can easily destroy a piece of clothing." Yao Shi Said Pelt, the head of the machine research and development department of the industry.

He is an Englishman. In the early days, he was the main engineer who developed the automatic zipper machine. After the success, he took advantage of the trend to promote the head of the machine research and development department.

"Well said, our PG zipper products must give people a high-end feeling! When the outside world is still lamenting our sales, PG zipper must create a solid and time-honored image! You are the person in charge of the machinery department, you The London R&D department should be connected in series to realize the joint research and development of the two places!"

At present, the company has invested a lot of money in the comprehensive replacement of machinery after three years. Hong Kong Island has a research and development department, and London also has a research and development department, so that three years later, it will be in the lead again.

"Yes, BOSS, we have regular exchanges. I would like to make another comment, that is, can German Burke Machinery also develop some technologies for us and realize technology sharing. Anyway, they have also signed an exclusive production agreement with us. !"

"This is a good idea. We have always ordered machinery from their company. This time I will let them set up a technical department and provide us with all technical support."

Wu Guangyao was very happy with this suggestion. He felt that he would go to Europe this time to see if he could buy a stake in Burke Machinery, so that they would also invest in R&D.

Know that in the future PG zippers will require too much machinery. If they don’t contribute, why should they continue to cooperate?

In this way, the replacement machinery of PG zipper has three forces, which are jointly developed and developed, and it is not necessarily lost to Dongying, Sweden, and the United States.

Yaoshi Industry is equivalent to a subsidiary of PG Zipper. Wang Qiang, seeing his outstanding achievements, said not to be outdone: "Boss, my colleagues, the research and development of non-metal zipper machines is extremely important. Whoever develops successfully first represents whoever is successful. The strength of the company is stronger, who is the first to occupy this market. Therefore, I beg the company to increase the research and development funds in this area, and I guarantee that the technology will be mature within two years."

Li Bing immediately responded: “Your technology department’s R&D funds have accounted for 16%, which is already higher than that of most companies in the world. Pay attention to control. The company’s profits have almost come in handy recently.”

Wu Guangyao heard it and felt that he was using the profit of PG zipper for global shipping, which was a bit embarrassing!

Although it is its own company, it also needs to consider the follow-up development.

"Manager Li, an additional 4% of R&D expenses cannot be reduced. As for the funds I misappropriated, I will subsidize them from other companies under my umbrella!"

Not to mention 16% of technology research and development, these years have been the critical moment, and that is, 30% of technology research and development expenses, Wu Guangyao also thinks it should be.

Most of the profits of Lao Fengxiang and Uniqlo can basically be misappropriated. After all, they belong to slow-paced companies and will not find a breakthrough for a while.

"Yes, I get it! Manager Wang, I'm sorry, I've been hurting my brain recently for funding." Li Bing explained to Wang Qiang and apologized.

Li Bing, as Wu Guangyao’s deputy, basically runs the entire company and must consider all aspects of the company. After all, Wu Guangyao is a person who grasps the general direction.

"Manager Li also considers the company as a whole, I understand!" Wang Qiang said as he watched Li Bing apologize to himself.

Although both are vice presidents, it is clear that Li Bing belongs to the overall consideration, and the power is above him.

Finally, Wu Guangyao made a summary: "At present, the company maintains a high degree of competitiveness and is good in all aspects. I will mention the last point, that is, always pay attention to YKK zippers. Although we are currently ahead of them, we must Learn from them."

Wu Guangyao is really afraid that even though he is a traversing person, in the end, he will lose to YKK in terms of management.

So, it is better to pay close attention to YKK, what good things they have, learn by themselves!

This is not called plagiarism, this is called learning!
