Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 539: Super Factory

"Our largest funds come from green loans, and without exception, companies that receive such loans comply with European environmental policies," Peter Carlson said proudly.

Green loans were initially a loan strategy proposed by major banks in Europe.

The intention was to provide a funding channel for environmentally friendly companies or companies that adhere to sustainable development guidelines.

Later, many domestic banks also began offering this type of green loan.

However, whether domestically or in Europe, obtaining green loans is extremely challenging.

To acquire a green loan, a company must undergo multiple assessments by various environmental organizations and appraisal institutions, and only upon passing these assessments can it receive the loan.

Moreover, once obtained, the company must continue to be monitored by these organizations; if any assessment during this process fails, the interest rate on the loan will increase significantly.

That’s why ordinary companies can’t usually secure such loans, and even if they do, increased interest rates due to frequent nitpicking would be unbearable.

Yet Beifu has managed to obtain such green loans, which speaks volumes about Beifu’s strength.

"Furthermore, besides environmental efforts, we’ve also excelled in human rights," Peter Carlson continued.

"Our group employs people from all over the world, with a total of 116 nationalities.

Our cleaners are from Eritrea, automation engineers from Germany, mechanical design engineers from Japan, battery evaluation engineers from Huaxia, heat treatment engineers from France, chief environmental officer from Norway, advanced materials researchers from South Korea, female technical recruiter from Sweden, software engineers from Russia, mining engineers from Congo, and some workshop operators from Pakistan."

Chen Yiyang felt as if he was listening to a comedy skit rather than a corporate introduction and was dumbfounded.

Is this even a company?

Even the United Nations isn’t as diverse as Beifu; their member countries aren’t this varied.

No wonder Beifu could establish a factory in Europe; they’re making things happen.

With this kind of multicultural environment, which European equality organization could find fault?

"So, with such a diverse workforce, how do your employees communicate? Is everything done in English? Even if the language barrier is overcome, living and work habits might still vary due to national differences, right?"

"Oh, it’s great if these employees can speak English, but even if they only know their native language, it’s no problem,"

Peter Carlson explained, "After all employees join, we provide them with relevant training to understand how to respect minority groups, fostering a friendly internal atmosphere.

If English communication is really impossible, we designate some bilingual or even trilingual employees internally as communicators, facilitating teamwork among different groups."

"Impressive."

This was Chen Yiyang’s sincere remark.

If Beifu actually managed to accomplish this, enabling employees from 116 nationalities to collaborate in a single company, Beifu would indeed be considered a modern Tower of Babel.

However, is this possible?

Chen Yiyang reflected logically and felt this seemed overly challenging.

Unless Peter Carlson has some system that allows employees to understand and communicate with each other.

Chen Yiyang initially considered placing a deposit to reserve a batch of batteries.

But after Peter Carlson introduced Beifu, he suddenly felt he should remain cautious to avoid being scammed.

Therefore, he asked Peter Carlson if he could visit Beifu’s factory.

Peter Carlson hesitated a bit with regard to Chen Yiyang’s request.

However, fortunately, Schaefer was quite supportive.

He conversed with Peter Carlson and eventually decided on the conditions for Chen Yiyang to visit the factory.

The condition was that Chen Yiyang had to allow his visit to Beifu to be reported by European news media.

With the news of the boss from a Huaxia car company traveling thousands of miles to visit a European green energy battery factory and expressing interest in ordering,

this news, once spread, would certainly enhance the reputation of Beifu and even all of Europe.

So as long as Chen Yiyang agrees, they would allow him a visit to Beifu’s super factory in Schelefteo.

Naturally, Chen Yiyang agreed.

He was also eager for Yiyang Automobile to penetrate the European market.

If Yiyang Automobile ultimately reached a cooperation agreement with Beifu, it could be said that it was halfway into the European market.

Once the agreement was settled, Peter Carlson immediately assigned a Polish woman employee to accompany Chen Yiyang to Schelefteo.

Only upon departure did Chen Yiyang discover that this Polish woman didn’t speak Chinese, and her English was barely passable, making communication between them nearly impossible.

Nevertheless, her German was quite good, allowing for conversation with Schaefer.

Schaefer informed Chen Yiyang that there were many Huaxia employees at Beifu’s factory, and once he arrived in Schelefteo, he could be hosted by his compatriots.

Schelefteo is a city situated in northern Sweden with a population of just over thirty thousand, yet it boasts an airport, so transportation isn’t an issue.

When Chen Yiyang arrived, he found it extraordinarily cold.

A quick check revealed Schelefteo’s historical temperature records to be around minus 45 degrees.

Colder than most northern cities domestically.

A factory in such a place?

Chen Yiyang was quite shocked.

The more he learned about Beifu Group, the more peculiar it seemed.

Based on the data, the company seemed quite reliable, with numerous European conglomerates investing in it, even labeled as Europe’s battery hope.

But upon closer inspection, the company seemed unreliable in various aspects.

Still, when Chen Yiyang considered the fact that Europe invested 14 billion US Dollars into this company, he wondered if he was overthinking.

billion US Dollars, such a large amount of capital, surely Europe’s conglomerates, commerce, and industry thoroughly researched Beifu.

Otherwise, how could they possibly allocate so much money to Beifu?

Since those who invested 14 billion US Dollars didn’t see any issues with Beifu, he must have been overthinking.

Thus, in the cold wind, Chen Yiyang got into a car and headed straight to Beifu’s super factory.

From the outside, the factory standing near the Arctic Circle is extremely beautiful, aligning perfectly with human aesthetics and blending effortlessly with the surrounding environment, looking in no way incongruous.

A picture of the Beifu Group’s super factory located in Schelefteo.

Upon arrival at the factory, the Polish woman employee started speaking continuously, as though introducing something with pride.

Curious, Chen Yiyang asked Schaefer what she was saying.

"She said that this Beifu super factory, considering ecological factors, didn’t use any steel reinforcing bars, making it the world’s most environmentally friendly factory."

"No steel reinforcing bars, then what structures the four or five-storied plant?" Chen Yiyang felt his understanding being challenged.
