Because I like Chinese women, haha. Paul joked about his first visit to China two years ago, in the form of his Italian jokes.  Of course, he was working ——— former club was the largest polyester manufacturer in Europe, at that time, he opened a new factory in Dongguan, and Paul as a company in Brazil, the United Kingdom and Turkey set up a branch of the technical backbone, responsible for the Chinese factory all the machine equipment disassembly, commissioning and production. Paul resigned from a high-paying position in 2009 after helping the company build its factory and make it an important manufacturer of polyester yarn.  Because he found a business opportunity, and the romantic Italians are planning to start a business in China with ambition.  What is Paul's Chinese pioneering experiment? "Misguided" entrepreneurial Paul's Chinese is not very good, and the exchange of people around the basic rely on his Chinese wife translation.  However, he is witty and insists that his business is "misguided". "I met my wife while I was working in China and we had to live together when we got married." "In Paul's view, this is the most" power "reason for his venture. At the same time, the Italian, who has 20 years of technical experience in the textile machinery industry and has served Europe's largest textile equipment business, seems not to have lost its business rhetoric to Wall Street's savvy investors, "in China, you can feel everything is possible, a feeling that is hard to find in an old Europe." I am engaged in textile machinery installation and commissioning and production management training, I believe that this in China also has great opportunities for development.  "This business has benefited entirely from Paul's own experience. Originally, at work, Paul found that some Italian textile machinery equipment Manufacturers He knew, they can sell the equipment to China, but it is difficult to provide and maintain efficient and effective technical support and training services, because the cost of sending U.S. and European technicians to travel to China is very high, The installation and commissioning of textile machinery and personnel training will take at least a few months, during which the wages and expenses incurred are quite high.  In addition, Paul also found that some small and medium-sized enterprises in China, compared with European enterprises, there is still a gap in organizational management, if they can absorb European technology and management experience, can better improve efficiency and reduce production costs.  Paul's chance came. "I live in China now. In addition to 20 years of experience in technology, and even their own technology patents, I am also good at organizing and managing system design, have practical management experience, and good at training staff.  Paul said that foreign companies would not be able to pay high salaries to expatriate equipment defenders, such as demolition or installation, maintenance equipment, and so on, and that Chinese small and medium enterprises workers could become skilled workers under the training of their own teams. At the end of 2009, Paul formally established the company BetweeN International consulting firm. He was positioned as a third-party service provider and tried to introduce Europe's relatively advanced industrial production technology and management experience to China's small and medium-sized enterprises. [Page] to recruit "migrant workers" service provider Paul this technical expert is the company's biggest selling point, yes.  But, commander a person, this is called What start-up company? The first thing Paul started with was employee recruitment and training.  He recruited the first batch of technical workers, are not highly educated people, in Chinese words are migrant workers, they do not have a large factory work experience, it can be said completely from scratch. "At first, my Chinese workers knew nothing about mechanics, and they probably did the biggest mechanical job of all, fixing the alarm clock at home." It's not easy to train them to be really a technician to install and repair these big equipment. Recalling the original process, Paul could not help "annoyed", he felt like a kindergarten teacher, sometimes a detail himself to explain five times, 10 times workers can really remember, some of the steps are reversed and rework, this is a physical and mental exertion of the strenuous work Ah! "Of course, sometimes I get discouraged, even very angry, but my workers hope that the look of study gives me the determination to stick to it."  "I believe they will succeed," he said. After a few months, this batch of workers actually became the technical expert, each can dudangyimian.  Paul was most proud of having installed 20 large Ratti Shang machines with 6 Chinese workers and 2 Italian workers, and built a modern hi-tech factory.  And as an entrepreneur, Paul is also seriously thinking about a fashionable Chinese word, the profit model. According to Paul's idea, his profit depended mainly on selling services. "At present, the main undertaking of foreign enterprises in China, the maintenance of equipment later, charging them a service fee." "Paul says he has now succeeded in obtaining a list from several European companies, there are not many orders, but the periodicity of each list is very long, at least 3 months, these customers mainly from his previous work in the" Contacts "and Word-of-mouth, and in the future he will strive to open up the Chinese local SMEs, advisory form to provide training,  Technical and management solutions or optimization scenarios.  If a Chinese dream succeeds, Paul has not thought much of it.  More often, he thinks he's doing a Chinese entrepreneurship experiment. "Just like an experiment, go with the heart. "He said, the process of feeling a lot, no imagination so easy, experienced a lot of fear, mainly in the heart, suddenly lost a large enterprise's backers, gave up a good job after everything from zero, every day to face daily necessities, to the accounts,  In a strange country independent face market competition and looking for customers, once also wanted to shrink, but finally insisted on coming, now all good progress.  He did not begrudge the compliment of the man who had kept him so far. He said he had a good wife, and love gave him strength. In addition, the friends around also gaveHe is a big help, especially Chinese friends.  Like a new project started, it rained, he parked the car to the door, the original workers will take the initiative to buy him a very good poncho, he also received a jade carving "eagle wings", meaning "Wish you success", and even workers in the rest time to help him, do not ask for any return. "I hope that one day my Chinese workers, who started out as ordinary Chinese workers, have been sent to Europe to study and work globally because of their excellent work." I also hope that I can be valuable to a group of Chinese workers, a number of companies have value, but also in the middle of the cultivation of an ideal enterprise in their own hearts. He said it was one of his Chinese dreams.
