King of Industry

  Chapter 876 Invitation from the Tokyo Exhibition

  When Zhao Guoyang rushed to the "SMS Company", both Li Zhaohe and Zhao Siyan were surprised.

  Because he was talking to Suzanne all the way, Zhao Guoyang didn't have time to tell the "SMS company" about his itinerary.

  Originally, he planned to go to "Xingtai International" first, but after Suzanne made this call, he changed his mind and decided to come here first.

  Seeing Mr. Zhao and Mu Yiyi approaching one after the other, Li Zhaohe and Zhao Siyan rushed up to meet them.

  After exchanging pleasantries, Li Zhaohe asked curiously: "Mr. Zhao, you just came from the airport. Why don't you give us a call, so we can pick up the airport!"

   Zhao Guoyang smiled and waved his hands when he heard the words: "Hey, there is no need to pick up the plane. Let's go, go to Lao Li's office first, let's have a short meeting!"

  Hearing Mr. Zhao say this, the expressions on the faces of Li Zhaohe and Zhao Siyan changed.

  They are very familiar with the behavior style of their chairman. Seeing Zhao Guoyang's attitude, the two of them naturally knew that it must be something big.

   Sure enough, after Zhao Guoyang arrived at Li Zhaohe's office, he quickly told what Suzanne said.

   After taking a sip of his tea, Zhao Guoyang said slowly, "I think everyone is well aware of the situation in Samba Country. So far, it has been the largest shipment place of our 'SMS Company'."

"I don't think I need to say much about the importance of this rare metal mine discovered in the country of Samba this time. If our equipment can keep up in time, it is very likely that we will take advantage of the opportunity of this large-scale mine development. SMS Company's brand will be a hit!"

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang's decisive judgment, Li Zhaohe and Zhao Siyan both nodded in agreement.

  Next, Zhao Guoyang talked to the two about his plans to adjust the production plan of "SMS Company" for the next two months, and also gained the full support of Li Zhaohe and Zhao Siyan.

After Li Zhaohe made his statement, he couldn't sit still and said: "Mr. Zhao, since the production plan has been changed, I have to pay close attention to purchasing here. Otherwise, I...I'm on a business trip now , Go to a few supporting factories and walk around, and give them a loud hello in advance."

  Looking at Zhao Guoyang, who was noncommittal, Li Zhaohe laughed and said, "Mr. Zhao, you know that the Spring Festival is coming soon. If many supporting factories are not busy at the end of the year, they will send their workers off early."

   "If I don't rush over to give them a reassurance, I'm afraid I might miss the job!"

   Zhao Guoyang has nothing to criticize for this conscientious old Li.

He rubbed his chin, and said with a "huh": "Well, what you said, Lao Li, makes sense. No matter how you call, there may be something wrong. Only by going in person can you be convincing! "

   After pondering for a moment, Zhao Guoyang expressed his opinion again: "Okay, then Lao Li, you can go and do your work. Turn around, we have other things to discuss!"

  Li Zhaohe nodded vigorously as if he was amnesty, whispered a few words to Zhao Siyan next to him, and hurriedly pushed the door away.

  Looking at the busy back of this subordinate, Zhao Guoyang felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

   "Mr. Zhao, besides the change of the production plan, there is one more thing you need to know, give me an idea!"

   Zhao Siyan's voice interrupted Zhao Guoyang's thoughts.

  He raised his head, looked at this good friend and said, "Well, if there is any situation, Siyan, you can just talk about it."

  Zhao Siyan nodded lightly, and told the situation in detail.

   It turns out that Asia's largest exhibition of lifting machinery and equipment will be held in Tokyo, an island country, on December 15.

  "SMS Company", as a newly emerging construction machinery manufacturer in the past two years, also received the invitation.

   It's just that Zhao Siyan and Li Zhaohe both have some concerns about whether to participate in this exhibition.

   It happened that Mr. Zhao came over early today, and she talked about this issue.

  After listening to Zhao Siyan's question, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "Siyan, this is a good thing, why don't you participate?"

   "The lifting equipment of our "SMS Company" has received a lot of praise. Participating in such a large-scale exhibition has the opportunity to raise our company's reputation to a higher level. Why not do it?"

  After hearing this, Zhao Siyan blushed and said: "However, it seems that many top international brands will participate in this exhibition. I am worried...we will be compared by others."

   Zhao Siyan's words made Mu Yiyi feel the same way.

  Indeed, whether it is "SMS Company" or "Xingtai International", although their products have gained a certain reputation in the world, compared with some top brands, there is still a gap.

  Of course, Zhao Siyan and Mu Yiyi also know that it is not easy for their company to achieve such results in such a short period of time, and Chairman Zhao has indeed played the role of Dinghaishenzhen.

  However, putting our own products together with international brands such as "Liebherr" and "Manitowoc" on a booth makes people feel a little bit drummed.

Zhao Siyan paused for a while, and continued to talk: "Mr. Zhao, Manager Li and I both feel that we don't have to participate in this 'Asian Lifting Machinery Exhibition'. At that time, just send a letter to the other party and tell the time If you don’t make it in time, the other party won’t have anything to criticize.”

   "After all, participation in this kind of exhibition is voluntary in the end!"

After Zhao Siyan's statement was over, Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly and denied it: "Siyan, I have a different opinion from yours. I think that the more important an exhibition is, the better we need to perform You are yourself."

   "Yes, maybe our 'SMS Company' brand is not a first-class brand, and even the world's second-rate brand cannot be squeezed in. But this does not mean that our products are not competitive!"

   "Objectively speaking, many of our company's products are very cost-effective. Even in terms of performance, they will not be inferior to those world-class brands."

  Zhao Guoyang leaned back on the sofa, and then said: "In the final analysis, what we are currently missing the most is the reliability and precision of each part of the product."

"The gap in this area, because it involves too much, we can't find a good solution for the time being. But in terms of the integrity of the product, I think we are on par with the two giants you just mentioned, Siyan. of."

  Zhao Siyan was a little confused by Mr. Zhao's remarks, so she said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean, we can go to this exhibition? Fight against giants like 'Liebherr'?"

  Zhao Guoyang spread his hands, and said indifferently: "It's absolutely possible? I don't think there is any difficulty in this."

   "Speaking of which, Liebherr's excavators and loaders are their strengths. But when it comes to cranes, they are not impeccable. At least on heavy cranes, their product specifications are flawed!"

   Zhao Guoyang's comments were not without purpose.

  In fact, in his memory, even after ten or twenty years, "Liebherr" still lacks many specifications in heavy lifting equipment.

   Of course, this is not to say that "Liebherr" does not have the ability to produce heavy lifting equipment, but its leaders feel that it is not worthwhile to spend a lot of money on researching this.

  The reason is simple, the frequency of use of heavy lifting equipment is very high.

  In many mines or offshore operations, these devices even work 24 hours a day.

  Such a large working intensity means that the life of the equipment will not be too long.

   No matter how advanced a company's technology and production capacity are, it cannot avoid this problem.

  The products of "Liebherr" have always been known for their high prices. Every product of the same specification is about 30% more expensive than other first-line brands.

  In the international market, the price of a first-line brand of heavy-duty lifting equipment is about one million US dollars, but if it is replaced by "Liebherr", the price may be as high as 1.3 million US dollars.

  The higher price of 300,000 US dollars is an insurmountable gap for many buyers.

  After all, no one will spend an extra three hundred thousand dollars to purchase products of this brand for the derivative value of a "brand".

   Especially when the service life of this kind of equipment itself is not long, everyone will not do this.

  Because this was foreseen a long time ago, "Liebherr" has not invested much in the development of heavy lifting equipment.

   In stark contrast, "SMS Company" has its own uniqueness in heavy lifting equipment.

  Early after the company's first mine hoist came out, Zhao Guoyang had ordered Zhao Siyan to work harder on heavy lifting equipment.

  Subsequently, after cooperating with the English "JCB Company", "SMS Company" made a considerable improvement in the technology of heavy lifting equipment.

   Especially after Zhao Guoyang acquired a majority of the shares of "Daewoo Heavy Industries Group", he even used the production line of "Daewoo Heavy Industries Group".

  The combination of various favorable factors has greatly improved the manufacturing level of heavy machinery and equipment of Zhao Guoyang and "SMS Company".

  At present, the company's two leading products have proven themselves in Africa and Latin America, which is why Zhao Guoyang dared to participate in the "Asian Lifting Machinery Exhibition".

  Of course, Zhao Siyan will not have any objection to the statement of her chairman.

  She nodded lightly and said: "Mr. Zhao, since you have said so, I feel more at ease. Speaking of which, I am also looking forward to the opportunity to participate in such a large-scale exhibition!"

  Zhao Guoyang nodded approvingly, snapped his fingers and said: "OK, then Siyan, you should prepare well and order and transport the equipment for our exhibition as soon as possible. Let's go there before the exhibition begins!"

   "Okay, Mr. Zhao!" Zhao Siyan nodded in response.
