Chapter 579 Who is Fishing?
The two-day interview made Kong Zhenlong feel that the life of the cotton pickers is not easy. They left their hometowns and came to the Northwest for thousands of miles. All money was taken away.
This immediately made Kong Zhenlong sympathize with the cotton pickers.
Life is not easy! Kong Zhenlong looked at the boy named Gen'er in front of him. At this time, he was huddled on the seat by the window, watching everyone who passed by the aisle vigilantly. Pickpocket gang thing to recover.
This matter cast a big shadow on this child! Kong Zhenlong thought to himself.
He looked at the boy's two elders from the same village. At this time, the two of them showed no guilt, and were still drinking cheap white wine and eating peanuts.
Although Kong Zhenlong looked down on the two of them from the bottom of his heart, he did not condemn them. After all, it is the nature of creatures to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and it is also reasonable to put oil on the soles of their feet when they are in danger. You can't force others to do what is right!
It's not easy for these cotton pickers to make money. If that kind of cotton harvesting is used on a large scale, wouldn't these people's jobs be taken away? Kong Zhenlong sighed softly, and then thought:
The increase in production efficiency brought about by cotton harvesters is certainly a good thing, but the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of cotton pickers is also very important! This topic really needs to be reported in depth. I should go to the manufacturer of cotton harvesters Take a look.
Kong Zhenlong's sympathy is not overflowing, but his thinking is more comprehensive.
After all, they are the ace reporters of Focus Talk. They don't just look at the surface of the problem. They report in depth, dig out the core, and present the facts from different angles. This is their real ability.
Fukang Engineering Company, Li Weidong is playing with the loader model in front of him.
This model is very delicate, all the joints can move, and even the control levers in the cockpit can be seen. Li Weidong said quite satisfied.
Ding Youliang, who was next to him, immediately introduced: This is based on our products, which are restored in equal proportions. All parts are purchased and manufactured. It took a lot of effort to make these models.
After all, we are going to participate in the exhibition in Dubai. This time it is the International Construction Machinery Exhibition, and the models should be more exquisite. Moreover, it is definitely cheaper to make such a few models and bring them there than to transport the entire equipment to Dubai. Li Weidong said.
Ding Youliang nodded: It's true, this kind of international construction machinery exhibition, we just join in the fun, and if we really ship the equipment, if we can't get the order, we will lose a lot of freight. It's better to bring a The model is over!
Why, Lao Ding, don't you have the confidence to win a few orders? Li Weidong asked with a smile.
Ding Youliang sighed lightly: It's not that I don't have confidence, it's that my strength doesn't allow it! As far as I know, there are many construction machinery companies from the United States, Japan and Europe who are going to Dubai to participate in the exhibition, and they are all international companies in the construction machinery industry. giant.
Such as Caterpillar, John Deere, and Terex in the United States; Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, and Sumitomo in Japan; Liebherr and Wacker Neuson in Germany; Volvo, Sandvik, Umbrella, Metso from Finland, CNH from Italy, Manitou from France, and Palfinger from Austria will all participate in the exhibition.
Compared with these big international companies, we are the ones! If it weren't for the UAE's first international construction machinery exhibition, and wanted to make the scene bigger, we wouldn't even be qualified to participate!
You can't say that. Although our products are not as good as international brands in terms of quality and performance, they are cheaper in price! I think there will always be people who are greedy for cheap. Li Weidong said.
Chairman, after all, it's Dubai, not a poor place like Africa or South Asia. Just being cheap is not very attractive. The oil-producing countries in the Middle East are rich, and they don't just buy things for cheap.
Ding Youliang said.
That's true. But the market in the Middle East is really very popular. As you said, the countries in the Middle East are rich, and they can afford expensive products. And in the field of construction machinery, there is no decent company in the Middle East. Enterprises, so they can only rely on imports. It would be a pity not to get a share of this market where people are stupid and rich.” Li Weidong said.
Among the Arab countries in the Middle East, there is no strong manufacturing industry, and the machinery manufacturing is not developed. Construction machinery is basically imported.
The key point is that there are still oil-producing countries that can afford a lot of money, so they have always been regarded as the best market by developed countries.
And the competition in this high-quality market is also very fierce. Construction machinery companies from the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries have been fighting each other here for decades.
The Middle East is relatively close to Europe, coupled with the history of colonization, so the Middle East has always been regarded by European companies as their back garden;
The United States allows American companies to enter the Middle East market through its control of oil and strong military power;
As a rising star, Japanese companies can also occupy a place in the Middle East market by relying on higher quality and better details.
In contrast, China's construction machinery is not as good as developed countries in Europe, America and Japan in terms of technology, quality, or brand. It's nothing.
Local tyrants don't demolish, don't buy cheap goods, and can't afford to lose that person!
In fact, the Middle East is not completely devoid of construction machinery manufacturing industries. There is a country whose machinery manufacturing industry is very strong, and it can even be said to be at the top level in the world.
That is Israel.
Israel's technology is very advanced, and the level of machinery manufacturing is very high. Israel can manufacture excellent construction machinery.
But because of the contradiction, it is absolutely impossible for Arab countries to buy construction machinery from Israel. Even if Israel gives it away for nothing, Arab countries are not necessarily willing to ask for it.
Fukang Engineering will soon participate in the UAE Construction Machinery Exhibition held in Dubai.
This is the first time that the UAE holds a construction machinery exhibition. In order to make the scene bigger, companies from many countries were invited to participate, including the world's top construction machinery companies, and many engineering companies from the 18th line participated in the exhibition.
For the UAE, all visitors are guests anyway. Since you come to support me, I welcome you no matter if you are a rich man or a bum. Anyway, I am a rich country and I don’t care about entertaining you alone.
This is probably like the ancient rich man's house holding red and white affairs, there will always be some beggars coming to eat and drink. For example, during red events, the beggar said a few words of congratulations, or when the beggar came to the house and cried a few times during the trivial matter, he would always get a bowl of rice as a reward from the host.
Fukang Engineering is not well-known internationally. Even in China, it cannot be regarded as a first-class construction machinery company. There are not a few domestic companies that are larger than Fukang Engineering and have more advanced technology than Fukang Engineering.
Therefore, in the eyes of a rich country like the UAE, Beverlywood Project is probably like this kind of beggar who comes to steal food. Since people come, they should stutter, so as not to be called stingy and lose the face of the rich.
In fact, even if domestic first-class construction machinery companies participate in the exhibition, they will still be easily beaten when facing international giant companies.
Although there were many Chinese construction machinery companies at that time, most of them were large but not strong, and their product technology was far behind the international giants.
If it is placed in later generations, more than one-fifth of the top 50 construction machinery companies in the world are Chinese companies.
It is precisely because of the gap in technology that in Ding Youliang's eyes, Chinese companies' participation in this exhibition is basically to learn, to see what technologies are worth learning from other top international companies.
As for the stinking brother of Fukang Engineering, it is probably just going through the motions, purely to make up the number, and it is already very good to be able to exhibit a few toy-like models.
As for the order, don't even think about it!
Taking a few models to Dubai will not cost much shipping fee, so Ding Youliang simply regards this trip to Dubai as a bonus.
Take a few important executives and the core backbone of the scientific research department to take a stroll in Dubai at public expense.
Li Weidong didn't think so, although he also knew that sending Fukang Engineering's products to Dubai for an exhibition was nothing short of a show of embarrassment. But in line with the principle of fighting three poles if there is no date, Li Weidong still wants to fight for it to see if there is any order.
Li Weidong is really poor now, because Taifeng and Taisheng mine owe the bank one billion yuan, so there is no chance to make money, and Li Weidong will not let it go.
Li Weidong and Ding Youliang were discussing the details of going to Dubai to participate in the exhibition, but Yue Pingan called from Fukang Agricultural Machinery next door.
Chairman, a reporter came and said he wanted to interview the cotton harvester. I have arranged for the publicity department to entertain him first. Yue Anan said.
Isn't it just this reporter? What's the fuss? There are quite a few reporters visiting cotton harvesters these days. Just handle it yourself. Li Weidong said.
The situation this time is a bit special. Many ordinary media came here, but reporters from Focus Talk. I don't think it can be sloppy. I have to report to you.
Hearing the words Focus Talk, Li Weidong immediately became vigilant. This is not an ordinary program and needs to be treated with caution.
So Li Weidong said, I happen to be at the Fukang Project right now, and I'll go there in person in a while to receive this comrade reporter!
Soon after, Li Weidong met Kong Zhenlong.
Regarding the cotton harvester, several waves of reporters have interviewed it before, and the propaganda department of Fukang Agricultural Machinery is also able to deal with this aspect with ease.
Such as detailed product introduction, product development process, etc. In addition to the detailed introduction, Kong Zhenlong was also given a lot of written materials prepared in advance.
But Kong Zhenlong was not satisfied, he still proposed to interview the leader of Fukang Agricultural Machinery in person, so Li Weidong came forward.
Chairman Li, I never thought I would be so lucky to meet you in Qinghe. Kong Zhenlong said with a smile.
Kong Zhenlong's words are also elevating Li Weidong. Under normal circumstances, people with status are not easy to meet. Kong Zhenlong used good luck to describe him, but in fact he has status in Li Weidong.
As expected of an ace reporter, a simple sentence can show his level. Using such an opening statement can also win Li Weidong's favor, and it will also help the following interviews.
Li Weidong said, I have always welcomed the media. As long as I have time, I will definitely not refuse interviews from reporters, especially when a program as in-depth as Focus Talk comes to interview me. !
Daily commercial praise is no stranger to old fritters like Li Weidong.
Kong Zhenlong didn't do much greetings, and went directly to the topic, only listening to him say; Chairman Li, I went to the Northwest to interview about the increase in cotton production. I found that your Shenghan's cotton harvester is in The process of increasing cotton production has played a very important role.
Cotton harvesters can solve the problem of insufficient manpower for cotton picking. Taking your cotton harvester as an example, it can pick ten acres of land in one hour. The working efficiency of a cotton harvester can probably be equal to the manual picking of cotton by 100 laborers. . So this greatly saves manpower.
But there is a problem. I don’t know whether Chairman Li has thought about it. One cotton harvester is worth the workload of 100 people. That is to say, every time a farm buys a cotton harvester, it will squeeze out 100 cotton pickers. If cotton harvesters are used in all cotton fields, how will the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of cotton pickers be maintained every year?
As expected of a reporter from Focus Talk, the questions are really sharp! When others come to interview, they are always praised, but he can dig out deeper employment problems. Li Weidong secretly thought.
Then Li Weidong smiled slightly and said: The situation you mentioned that the cotton harvesters took away the jobs of cotton pickers exists in theory, but in reality, it will not happen within ten years.
Because it involves a cost issue. Cotton harvesters are high-end agricultural machinery after all, and the price is relatively expensive, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. For example, the cotton mobile phone we produce costs more than one million yuan per unit.
As for imported cotton harvesters, the cheapest one costs more than two million yuan, and the more expensive one costs four to five million yuan. Just imagine how many farms can afford a cotton harvester? And that's not counting the diesel consumed and worn out parts during use.
In contrast, the wages of cotton picking workers are not high. How many workers can be hired to pick cotton with one million? Therefore, it is more cost-effective for ordinary farms or cotton farmers to directly hire people to pick cotton.
So for now, the cotton harvester is just a supplementary means, mainly to deal with the shortage of cotton picking workers. If people can be hired, I think cotton farmers will still give priority to using manual cotton picking.
Of course, the income of cotton pickers cannot be kept in this state forever. In the future, with the development of the country and the increase of national income, the wages of cotton pickers will also increase.
In the future, when the cost of hiring cotton pickers is higher than the cost of mechanical harvesting, I think the situation you mentioned will happen where cotton harvesters take away the jobs of cotton pickers.
What Li Weidong said was well-founded, and Kong Zhenlong couldn't help but nodded in conviction.
But after thinking about it for a while, Kong Zhenlong still said: Chairman Li, according to what you said, although in a short period of time, cotton harvesters will not take away the jobs of hundreds of thousands of cotton pickers, but in the long run, this is What is bound to happen?
Yes. Li Weidong nodded without hesitation: With the development of science and technology, it is a trend for machines to replace manpower. This is true in any industry. This is an inevitable phenomenon of human development and social progress.
That is to say, with the development of science and technology, cotton pickers will be eliminated by cotton harvesters sooner or later. Kong Zhenlong took a deep breath and asked, Don't you think they are a kind of victim?
So while we are developing, we must also find ways to solve this type of problem. Li Weidong said.
How do you think it should be solved? Kong Zhenlong asked immediately, as if unwilling to give Li Weidong a chance to change his mind.
This is a good question! The corners of Li Weidong's mouth raised slightly, and then he said, Reporter Kong, would you like to go to a few places with me? When you get to the scene and check it out, I think you will find the answer.
Kong Zhenlong was slightly taken aback. He had been a reporter for so many years, and this was the first time he encountered such a situation.
In the past interviews, they just sat there asking and answering, but under Kong Zhenlong's sharp questions, many people would be left speechless by Kong Zhenlong's questions.
It was always Kong Zhenlong who brought up the matter of going to the field to check, and the interviewees always wanted to hide it, and reluctantly took Kong Zhenlong to the scene.
Now things are reversed, Li Weidong took the initiative to take Kong Zhenlong to the scene, which made Kong Zhenlong unable to recover for a while.
Kong Zhenlong's interview is like fishing. The initial questions are like bait, and then step by step to lure the other party to bite the bait, and finally dig out in-depth content.
However, the tricky smile on Li Weidong's face seemed to say, you fish has finally taken the bait!
I seem to have been fished! Kong Zhenlong thought to himself.
No pop-up window, timely update!
