Chapter 637 We must go all out
"The problem with European companies is the lack of competitors." Feng Hua said calmly:
"I have analyzed that the Industrial Revolution broke out in Europe, and Europe still had absolute technological advantages around the world until the end of the last century. Then, the rise of the United States, and Europe was hindered by the influence of the two world wars, and the flow of talents to the United States, which led to the United States coming from behind. After World War II, Japan relied on the advantage of cheap labor to obtain a large amount of technology transfer from the United States and Europe, forming its own technological strength, and now it can compete with Europe.
However, Japan is a small country after all, and it is suppressed by the United States. Its technological development is abnormal and its industrial scale is limited, which does not pose a serious threat to Europe. So far, Europe still has considerable advantages in many technologies, and some fields are still the world's number one, which makes Europeans too complacent and no longer have the spirit of hard work."
"Indeed, we Europeans live so comfortably. I can't see any fighting spirit like Xiaochen and Ling Yu in the younger generation." Feng Shuyi added.
"Are you criticizing me?" Feng Wenru protested with her red lips. Among the people sitting, she can be called the younger generation of Europe. Isn't it her? According to her mother, she doesn't have the fighting spirit of two cousins. Well, well, she herself admits that she does seem too lazy compared to the two cousins in front of her and another cousin far away in China, but why does this sound so hurtful to people's self-esteem?"
Feng Xiaochen reached out and touched Feng Wenru's head, and said with a smile: "The younger generation I am talking about does not include you. You are still working very hard, I can prove this."
More than ten years ago, when Feng Xiaochen first came to Germany, Feng Wenru was just an 11-year-old little loli, who looked pink and quite cute. At that time, Feng Xiaochen particularly favored this little cousin with mixed Chinese and German race. Over the years, although Feng Wenru was already a 26-year-old girl, in Feng Xiaochen's mind, she still regarded her as a little girl. She would touch her head a few times and feel the softness of her blonde hair.
"Hehe, it's better for my brother to be nice to me." Feng Wenru grimaced at everyone, obviously enjoying her cousin's doting on her.
"Pumai has no motivation to improve their technology. Their technology is world-class. Even if it does not improve its technology, it can still make a lot of money. Why do we need to spend money to develop new technologies? But we are different. Our technology is backward. Not to mention the international market, even the domestic market is occupied by Western products. If we don't develop, we will have to die, so we have to work hard." Feng Xiaochen continued the topic just now.
"Now there are fewer and fewer young people willing to study engineering in Europe. Companies do not need to improve their technology, so they do not need so many technical talents. Young people in Europe are more willing to study finance and business, or they just study art. Even some original engineers are now facing the threat of unemployment and are turning to other industries." Feng Shuyi said.
Feng Xiaochen said: "This is also something I want to ask my uncle and aunt to do. Can you help me recruit some European engineers? Of course, you need to have real talents and knowledge. Whether it is introducing them to work in China or willing to stay in Europe to work for us, in short, the more people this kind of person is, we will not refuse."
"Stay in Europe to work for you?" Feng Shuyi said in surprise, "Are you saying, as the Hotby you said, to be an agent?"
"Of course not." Feng Xiaochen said, "The next step is to establish a research institute in Europe, put some of China's R&D projects into Europe, and use the experience and minds of European engineers to conduct research. This matter is still underway, and both funds and names still need to be solved."
"Can't the country come forward to do this?" Yan Leqin questioned.
Feng Xiaochen smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma, if things are so easy, do I still need to spend my own money to hire an agent to acquire those small European enterprises? The country's finances are currently in a difficult situation, and all departments are short of money. Of course, it cannot be said that such a big country is not as much as I have on hand. It's just that the plan I proposed is too long-term. Even if it can be recognized by senior leaders, it will be difficult for the following departments to accept it. In this way, it will be very difficult for me to get strong support from the finances. This is the case for acquiring enterprises, and the establishment of the European Research Institute.
In addition, this kind of thing was not originally suitable for the state to do. The country's current policy is to keep a low profile. If it is established with great fanfare, it will conflict with the image of the country."
"So you use your own money to do things?" Feng Shuyi said, "No wonder my mother praised Xiaochen for being sensible all day long. Mom and their generation are willing to contribute everything to the country."
"This is the tradition of our Feng family." Yan Leqin corrected, and she said to Feng Shuyi: "Your father gave up his superior living conditions in Germany and took your two brothers back to China, just to contribute everything to the country. I am very pleased that Xiaochen can do this now."
Feng Xiaochen quickly spoke for Feng Shuyi: "Uncle and aunt have also done a lot of things for the country, especially my aunt. As a German, she has represented European business disputes for Chinese companies and helped us recover a lot of losses. The leaders of our Economic Commission have thanked her specifically."
"Xiaochen, you are wrong. Since I have married your uncle, I will naturally be a Chinese wife. This is called marrying a chicken and marrying a dog, right?" Feng Shuyi said with a smile. She was really not a joke. I don't know if she was influenced by this family or her traditional European rituals. She really regarded herself as a Chinese in her heart. She firmly supported Feng Xiaochen's previous words about trying to poach European corners.
Feng Xiaochen smiled at his aunt, and then continued, "It is not enough to rely on Chenyu's company's funds to accomplish these things. Next, I am going to mobilize domestic companies to participate in this matter, including acquiring European companies and recruiting European talents. However, all of this requires cooperation from Europe. I will ask Bao Chengming to find a few people, but when doing the specific work, I still need help and give some advice."
"It's no problem to guide. If you can do what you want to do well, even if it's half or even one-third, the role it will play in the future will be difficult to estimate. We must do our best to do such things." Feng Hua promised.
"Can I do something?" Yan Leqin was not willing to be lonely and volunteered. The blueprint drawn by her grandson really made her feel excited. She couldn't help but feel her impulse and wanted to do something with her age at 80.
"Mom, you are so old, so you should enjoy your old age." Feng Hua advised with a bitter face.
Yan Leqin glared at him and said, "I am not dazed and not deaf. What kind of old age is it? I am still the chairman of the foundation established by the Economic Commission of China. The government leaders do not think that I am old. You actually think that I am old."
"It's not old, grandma is young." Feng Xiaochen hurriedly tried to smooth things over, and then said, "Grandma, even if you don't say it, I have to ask you to do it. We want to start this European Research Institute. If you lack an honorary dean, you will be reluctant to be it."
"This is almost the same." Yan Leqin smiled. She actually knew that her energy was not enough to let her do anything, and she just wanted to show her support for her grandson with practical actions. With her here to support her, Feng Hua and Feng Shuyi and his wife would probably do their best.
Everyone was talking gossiping, and after eating for three hours, all the meal was over. Yan Leqin wanted to ask Feng Xiaochen to go to the hotel where they stayed and then chatted. Feng Xiaochen said that he should not leave the group for a long time and needed to go back to see if there was anything. When the group walked out, Yan Leqin pulled Feng Xiaochen aside and whispered: "Xiaochen, Wenru said she wanted to go back to China to develop. Please pay attention to it and see if there are any good opportunities."
"This is not difficult." Feng Xiaochen said, "Don't she study finance? There are currently many financial institutions in China that are expanding overseas and urgently need financial talents with overseas experience. If Wenru is willing to go to these institutions to find jobs, she should be very popular."
Yan Leqin said: "In addition to finding a good unit, please help me pay attention to see if there are any suitable young people. Wenru is already 26 years old this year, so it's time to find someone else's house."
Feng Xiaochen couldn't help but smile and asked, "No, Wenru went to university and then graduated from a master's degree, and never met a young person she liked? Do you still need to travel thousands of miles back to China to find a boyfriend?"
Yan Leqin said: "I don't know this. Anyway, she is still single and has no boyfriend. It is a good thing to go back to China to find her. In fact, I always hope that she will find a Chinese."
Feng Xiaochen said in surprise: "Grandma, you have been in Germany for so many years, so you won't have such prejudices? Isn't my aunt a German? Also, Klinna is also a German, don't you like it very much?"
Yan Leqin shook his head: "Can this be the same? Your uncle and Ling Yu both married German wives, so we China will not suffer any losses. Although Wenru has half of German ancestry, she is also Chinese. How can she get a German cheaper?"
"Uh..." Feng Xiaochen was completely speechless. An old Chinese lady who had lived in Germany for 60 years was still an old Chinese lady. Yan Leqin's values seem to be no different from He Xuezhen, Cao Jingmin and others.
"Okay, this matter is for me. I will definitely find the best Chinese guy for Wenru. The fat water cannot flow into outsiders' fields." Feng Xiaochen promised solemnly.
