Chapter 304: Preliminary Negotiations (Part 3!)
At noon, the five of them were eating Malaysian food outside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Yuanchen's guest.
Naturally, it is the cost of public relations.
Germans are not rigid, they are rigid in what they do, but they are not rigid in doing business.
For example, in China, in order to let Audi dominate the official car market, do you know how much energy and money they spend?
In order to stop the rise of China's car companies and not threaten their position, do you know how much energy and money they have spent?
Of course, the Germans are not the only ones who do this, in fact they are relatively moderate, you have to look at the public relations of Japanese companies in China, which is the world's superb, much better than they are in the United States.
During the meal, Zhou Yuping mainly communicated with Mu Yuanchen, because the flatbed offset double-sided monochrome printing machine that Kirin Culture Co., Ltd. wanted to buy was not available here, and it still needed to be deployed from Germany.
In fact, even the Singapore Printing Group is reluctant to use this kind of Heidelberg high-end printing press when printing newspapers for others, and the cost increase is not a little bit.
You know, they do printing for Singapore's "Sin Chew Daily", "Nanyang Siang Pao" and other big newspapers - "Lianhe Zaobao" is still not visible, and it will take four years before "Sin Chew Daily" and "Nanyang Siang Pao" merge to change its name to "Lianhe Zaobao".
Singaporeans are much more particular about newspapers than Hongjiang people, and even they don't use this kind of Heidelberg double-sided monochrome printing press, so the consumption and cost can be imagined.
Zhou Yuping needs to determine whether there is any stock in Germany, when it will be produced, where this batch of machines of the same model will be used, which newspapers will be printed with their double-sided monochrome printing press of the same model, how long it will take to transport them to Xiangjiang, and how long will it take for their mechanics to complete the commissioning of the machines, and teach their workers to become familiar with the operation......
None of these questions can be sloppy, and they must all be seriously understood, listened to, and pondered.
Zhou Yuping is a very careful person, and the things he handles must be clear to him before he can make a decision.
At this point, Le Yiling admired him very much, and felt that Yin Jun's vision was not bad, so he found such a person to be the manager of the printing factory.
Of course, if Zhou Yuping doesn't have such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and comes to work with a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, then Le Yiling can give him a higher score.
Yin Jun also happened to have a question and wanted to ask Zhang Guangliang.
"Manager Zhang, may I ask your company, how much do you know about pulp mills in Malaysia?" Yin Jun said, "I want to do the comic weekly industry here, and I need a lot of pulp raw materials." ”
"Hey, you've got the right person. Zhang Guangliang said with a smile, "Our boss is the richest man in Singapore and Malaysia, Guo He, under our Kerry Group, there are three or four pulp mills, ranking first in Malaysia, if you want to buy, let me introduce you." You can rest assured, the quality and price we have here are definitely not bad, it is completely sufficient, and there is no need to go to Canada to be slaughtered. ”
Singapore, like the rest of China, speaks Mandarin, and they are the only place outside of the mainland that uses simplified Chinese as one of the official fonts.
Yin Jun speaks Chinese, naturally very smooth, Le Yiling Chinese is not fluent, but it is no problem to listen.
Le Yiling did not speak Chinese before, but there are so many mainlanders in the animation studio, they definitely do not know Cantonese, so only Xiangjiang here to cooperate to make some changes, while teaching them to learn Cantonese, try to speak Chinese more themselves, so that they can communicate more.
As the general manager of the company, Le Yiling naturally has to lead by example and practice Chinese every day, although he is still stammering, it is still much better than before.
Yin Jun also told Le Yiling that she will definitely enter the mainland market in the future, and if she can practice fluent Chinese, then when she communicates with mainlanders in the future, she will definitely get too much recognition.
I don't know what others think of Yin Jun, but those Xiangjiang people who speak Cantonese and stammer and speak Chinese, Yin Jun doesn't like it very much.
Many of them don't speak Chinese, but they deliberately say it in order to show that they are superior to mainlanders.
I really don't know where they got so much superiority.
Zhang Guangliang said that Malaysia's pulp products are indeed good, and they can also rank among the top three in Asia.
But the best pulp in the world, the first one comes from Canada, a country that is bigger than China, with a very high forest coverage rate and trees that are more than 100 years old, so they can sell very good pulp.
However, Canadian pulp is also the most expensive, so in general, even many newspapers in the United States do not use them, but choose their own or ship them from Brazil.
"What pulp do you want? Grinding wood pulp? Sulfate wood pulp? Well, sulfite wood pulp is too expensive, I don't recommend you use it. Zhang Guangliang said with great interest.
"What I want is recycled pulp. Yin Jun replied.
"What!?"
Zhang Guangliang was surprised, "If you recycle pulp, make a comic book...... Maybe the quality will be a little worse, right?"
"This kind of comic weekly is cheap, there are many categories in it, and there are not so many exquisiteness. If you want to make a single book, then the quality should be better. "And it's not like there are no comic books made from recycled pulp, and there are several companies in Japan that do this." ”
"Well, if it's recycled pulp...... Zhang Guangliang said in a deep groan, "Indonesia seems to be better at it?"
"I wouldn't consider Indonesia's, except to make their money. Yin Jun said without thinking, "Any country that is not good for us Chinese, I can't wait to let them disappear from the earth, how can I still let them make money?"
Zhang Guangliang is naturally of Chinese descent, and he naturally knows that many people from Indonesia will flee to Malaysia and Singapore every time they have been abducted and killed against Chinese people in Indonesia in recent decades.
Hearing this, of course, he was the same enemy, "Yes, Suharto, this bastard, I can't wait to kill him with one shot! My aunt's family was killed in a riot a few years ago! I don't want them to make my money for the rest of my life!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Guangliang unconsciously felt a little more identified with Yin Jun, and felt that this was his own person.
Since it's your own person, you have to be serious about helping.
He thought about it for a while, and then said: "Recycled pulp is not produced by our group because it is too low-end. But I know which one of the best ones, one of their managers is a college classmate of mine...... I'll help you get in touch, I don't dare to say how good the price is, but the quality can still be guaranteed, and their company's recycled pulp is doing well. ”
Yin Jun knew before he came that recycled pulp is not a big industry in Malaysia.
Malaysia's recycled pulp production is only about 150,000 tons a year, most of which are exported to India, Sri Lanka and other places, anyway, their requirements are not high, and the remaining 60,000 tons are Malaysia's own use, most of which are used for household paper and carton paper.
Yin Jun had already planned, and he didn't do it according to 5 million copies at all, but prepared it according to 10 million copies.
Why so many?
You can sell two or three million copies in Japan alone, plus South Korea, Treasure Island, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other places, why don't you dare to think about 10 million copies?
Even if I don't need that much, I buy it first and store it as a stock, so that I can still use it when I make newspapers in the future, what's the difference?
After all, the price of pulp has been rising in recent years, and there will be no panic in the heart of more inventory.
If this is calculated, Yin Jun Yueyue will use 2,650 tons of recycled pulp alone, which is 31,800 tons in a year, which is not a small amount of business anywhere.
Sure enough, after hearing the data Yin Jun said, Zhang Guangliang was unconsciously refreshed, and before he finished eating, he called his classmates.
His classmates heard that such a big business, which almost accounted for more than half of their output, was also anxious, and would drive here in the afternoon - Singapore and Malaysia are cross-border distances, in the area close to Singapore, but it is almost equal to zero, as long as you have a passport and visa, you can enter and exit at any time.
The next thing has little to do with Yin Jun.
Leyiling will first talk about business with the recycled pulp manufacturers, and then Zhou Yuping will continue to go to the factory in the afternoon to see the machine, and then Leyiling will talk about the machine.
With an expert like Sister Le to help herself, Yin Jun can be lazy herself.
In the afternoon, he went to several scenic spots in Singapore, and now the most famous Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore has not yet been built, and its most famous "sky ship" and "infinity pool" have naturally not yet appeared.
Of course, in this life, this magnificent hotel idea naturally cannot appear in Singapore, it has been set in Hong Kong by Yin Jun early.
To hell with Singaporeans!
In the evening, Yin Jun courteously invited Sister Le and Zhou Yuping to dinner, and everyone exchanged opinions on buying machines and recycled pulp.
As for the remaining ordinary pulp, that is, the paper raw materials for making color page covers, illustrations and advertising pages, according to Leyiling's opinion, from the perspective of cost and time saving, it should also be purchased in Malaysia, and even the paper mill should find a good cooperative manufacturer here, so that all the raw materials can be manufactured in Malaysia, and the paper that is cut neatly will be sent to Xiangjiang and directly put into the printing factory for production.
Yin Jun and Zhou Yuping both think this method is good, but how to find a partner has to be discussed slowly.
Before I knew it, the next day after coming to Singapore, it passed.
