Chapter 699 Forging Hammer
Study or travel?
In the Czech Republic today, it is rare to see Chinese people.
"I want to come here to buy some industrial equipment." Qin Feng said, "Our country is undergoing major construction and has a great demand for industry, and the Czech Republic is a strong industrial country."
Zdenekmirel smiled proudly.
Although the Czech Republic is small, its industry is very strong, which makes every Czech citizen very proud.
But then, there was nothing more. Zdenekmirel did not discuss this topic again. Perhaps he thought it was Qin Feng's personal privacy, so he stopped asking.
This made Qin Feng quite regretful. After all, Qin Feng was still thinking that maybe Zdenekmirel knew a lot of people in this field and could introduce them to him.
That would save me a lot of trouble. But I didn't expect that there would be no consequences.
Qin Feng had no choice but to give up this idea and chatted with Zdenekmirel for a long time, talking about moles.
After that, Qin Feng said goodbye.
"Qin, if you want to buy machinery and equipment, I suggest you go to Central Bohemia to have a look!" Zdenek Miler told Qin Feng before leaving.
Central Bohemia?!
After Qin Feng thought about it for a while, he arrived in Central Bohemia by car the next day.
Central Bohemia is actually a part of the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic, that is, in the middle.
Bohemia occupies two-thirds of the territory of the Czech Republic, including the capital Prague, which is also in Bohemia. Central Bohemia, as Zdenekmirer said, is also the most industrially developed region in the Czech Republic.
After coming out of Prague, Qin Feng discovered that the current situation in the Czech Republic was not very good. The reason was very simple. Before World War II, the economic levels of the Czech Republic and its next-door neighbor Austria were about the same.
Austria and the Czech Republic can be said to be both developed countries and very wealthy. But now, Austria has become one of the most comfortable countries on earth, and its national income is also very high, reaching a per capita annual income of US$27,000.
The Czech Republic is very poor, only one-eighth of that. That is 3,258 US dollars. This figure is too different.
Why? The reason is that the Czech Republic followed the wrong Big Brother. After the end of World War II, the Czech Republic was a social country and followed the former Soviet Union.
As a result, the Soviet Union repeatedly drew blood. As a socialist country with the happiest people at the time, the Czech Republic was repeatedly drawn by the Soviet Union. As a result, the Czech Republic was the happiest among socialist countries.
However, the gap with Western developed countries is getting wider and wider.
Eventually, the former Soviet Union collapsed and the Czech Republic embarked on the path of capitalism. But now, the gap with its neighbor Austria is too big.
A difference of eight times.
Of course, what is the current domestic income? The per capita annual income is 3,200 RMB.
Compared with the Czech Republic, the gap is almost exactly 8 times.
After leaving Prague, other places were desolate and dilapidated. Of course, the Czech Republic, as an old industrial power, had defected to Western Europe, so Qin Feng could see investors from various European countries along the way.
After a few days of exploring on his own, Qin Feng finally gained an understanding of the Czech Republic.
smeral, also translated as Forging Hammer Company in China. This is the oldest mechanical equipment factory in the Czech Republic.
Founded in 1861, the first Kaplan turbine was produced in 1918. Post-World War II reconstruction began in 1945.
Of course, it was subject to various constraints from the former Soviet Union. It has always been a socialist model. Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Czech politics has been greatly affected and has gone through several years of turmoil.
Naturally, Forging Hammer Company has also been conservative and has been in the midst of policy swings. Now, Forging Hammer Company has barely resumed formal operations.
However, there are many problems. For example, lack of funds, lack of workers with sufficient technical talents, etc.
Qin Feng found the current boss of the Forging Hammer Company, Kamil Shmerali, who was also a descendant of Bohumil Shmerali, the former leader of the Czech Communist International.
"Are you from China?" Camille was very surprised.
There are very few Chinese people here. Moreover, the relationship between the Czech Republic and China has not yet officially established diplomatic relations.
This is mainly due to the former Soviet Union. Since China and the former Soviet Union fell out, all countries in the International Communist International have been instructed by the former Soviet Union not to interact with China, and the two sides have been in a state of hostility.
Of course, with the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the Czech Republic and China are no longer in a state of international hostility. However, the Czech Republic itself is in turmoil, and the two sides have not established any diplomatic relations.
"Yes, I'm from China." Qin Feng looked around, "It's all thanks to the former Soviet Union, and everything is waiting to be done!"
Qin Feng's complaints about the former Soviet Union resonated with Kamil.
Of course, he didn't say much. After all, the bastard country of the former Soviet Union was really deceiving people. It treated other countries like slaves.
"I wonder why you are here? Do you want to buy equipment?" Camille asked.
Qin Feng thought for a while, nodded, and then shook his head.
This made Camille very puzzled.
What on earth is this guy going to do?
"I want to buy equipment, but now I also want to make some investments!" Qin Feng said.
invest?
"What do you want to invest in? Our company?" Camille's eyes were a little hot, but she was still a little hesitant.
Because the Czech Republic now relies on Western European countries, and Qin Feng is from China, the two sides are still hostile to a certain extent.
"I am investing with my U.S. green card immigration status!" Qin Feng took out his U.S. green card status.
This time, Camille's eyes became less wary and her attitude became much more relaxed.
Regardless of whether Qin Feng is from China or not, if he has a U.S. green card, he can be said to be an American. After all, he can apply for a U.S. passport as long as he gets his green card a few years later.
In that case, it can still be considered a transaction with an American.
Then there won't be any trouble.
"How many shares can you give me if I invest in your company?" Qin Feng asked.
Camille pondered for a moment and thought for a long time.
Today, Forge Hammer Company is in a lot of troubles. When the former Soviet Union collapsed, the company also encountered many difficulties. For example, the company used to be a social system, and everything was attributed to the state. Now it has disintegrated and turned into capitalism, and there are also divisions within the company.
.
Since it was impossible for everyone to continue working together, we separated. Some senior executives of Forging Hammer also took away some equipment, funds, and talents to start other companies.
After all, it is capitalism now, and some ambitious people naturally do not want to eat from the same big pot as in the past. They just want to make more money and benefit themselves.
Therefore, the current forging hammer companies are really short of money to maintain the equipment, develop new equipment, and hire enough skilled workers.
