Fan Wenping and Sun Fanzhuo left happily. This feeling of being a big money owner is so good that they need to go back immediately to implement overseas recruitment. Once 20 overseas professors are in place, the status of the entire Dongye University will suddenly rise to a new level, which is something that cannot be delayed.

Tang Zifeng asked Zhang Jianyang to send the two downstairs, and he and Shao Junjie only symbolically sent them to the corridor and came back.

Returning to the office and sitting down again, Shao Junjie swept away the official appearance just now, and said to Tang Zifeng with a smile: "Mr. Tang, it's really a big deal, I think Principal Fan and they are all shocked by you." ”

Shao Junjie was transferred to Linhe from other places only two years ago, and the division of labor in the municipal government is an economic film, and he moves around a lot with the enterprises in the jurisdiction, and he is naturally very familiar with Tang Zifeng, the general manager of the largest enterprise in Linhe City, and there is no need to be taboo when talking to each other.

When Tang Zifeng followed Zhou Heng to Linhe, the relationship between Linyiji and the Linhe Municipal Government was relatively distant, to be more precise, Linhe City was a little unwilling to see Linyiji. For no other reason, Linyiji was extremely depressed at that time, owed tens of millions of debts to the bank, and could not pay ordinary wages, which not only could not provide any economic contribution to Linhe City, but was also a potential destabilizing factor.

At that time, the leaders of Linyiji went to the city government to contact work, and often had to look at the other party's stinky face, which can be described as difficult to enter, ugly face, and difficult to do.

With the efforts of Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng, Linyiji quickly came back to life, paid off the bank's arrears, and became a major profit and tax owner in Linhe City, and the relationship with the municipal government naturally returned to the harmonious state many years ago.

When Linyi Machinery was restructured and upgraded to Linji Group, Linhe City packaged and merged the city's Linhe No. 2 Machine Tool and No. 3 Machine Tools into Linji Group, and exchanged them for a small number of shares in the group. For the government, this little stake in the enterprise is not very interesting, and they pay more attention to the development of the Linji Group.

The benefits that a large industrial conglomerate can bring to the local economy are innumerable. All kinds of supporting services required by enterprises, such as packaging, transportation, communication, etc., are provided by the local government, and this constitutes local income. In addition to Tengji Company, other subsidiaries of Linji Group are in Linhe City, with a total of nearly 30,000 employees, and the daily consumption of these people must also be realized locally, which alone can pull up the local economy by a few tenths of a percentage point.

Because of this, Shao Junjie attaches great importance to Linji Group, and he has to visit every other day, and he usually asks the leaders of Linji Group to attend any activities in the city, the purpose is to enhance the feelings of both parties.

Shao Junjie is a young cadre among the city leaders, but compared with Tang Zifeng, he is not young, but a full 10 years older than Tang Zifeng. For Tang Zifeng, he sometimes calls Mr. Tang, and sometimes he calls him "brother". Whenever he called Tang Zifeng in the latter way, Tang Zifeng had to subconsciously stir up, I don't know what benefits this old brother plans to get from him.

"That's not a big deal. In the next step, we are going to participate in international competition, and talent is the greatest competitiveness. Our group has made a decision to introduce and nurture talent at any cost. The sponsorship of students to study abroad and the introduction of European professors are all part of our group's strategy. These investments are not much compared to our benefits. Tang Zifeng replied lightly.

Shao Junjie said: "These investments are indeed not a lot for a large enterprise like Linji Group. However, as far as I know, some large enterprises of the same size as Linji Group do not have this awareness. Their leaders would rather spend money on building luxury office buildings, and a chandelier in the lobby is worth tens of millions. ”

"Hah! We can't really compare. Tang Zifeng smiled.

After the state-owned enterprises were converted to corporatized operations, their financial autonomy was much greater than in the past, and the enterprises themselves could have the final say on expenses such as renovating office buildings, and there was no need to consult the higher authorities as in the past.

For things like enterprise decoration office buildings, Tang Zifeng's view is relatively neutral. On the one hand, he believes that it is acceptable for enterprises to renovate factories and office buildings more beautifully, even looking luxurious. This can not only improve the working conditions of employees, but also play a certain role in image publicity.

Think about it, if you see a towering building in a city with the words "XX Group" written on it, will you subconsciously feel that this enterprise is very powerful? On the contrary, if a customer visits a certain enterprise and sees that the leader of the enterprise is working in a broken temple, can people believe that you have the strength of the world's top 500?

But on the other hand, Tang Zifeng also admitted that the practices of some companies have gone far beyond the reasonable range, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as arrogant and lascivious. In the final analysis, it is the leaders of the enterprise who feel that the money belongs to the state and has nothing to do with themselves, and they do not spend it in vain, and they spend a lot of money in order to satisfy their vanity.

For the latter situation, Tang Zifeng absolutely cannot tolerate it. The expenditure of Linji Group to improve office conditions has always been controlled within the appropriate range, which has also been appreciated by Zhou Heng and other old leaders.

Shao Junjie admires the style of Linji Group, and when he encounters an opportunity, he has to praise a few words, of course, there is also an element of compliment, which is not worth mentioning.

"Director Tang, you just said that Linji Group will also participate in international competition, does this mean that the scale of the group will be further expanded?"

After saying the previous saliva without oil and salt, Shao Junjie began to inquire about Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng nodded and said, "That's right." In the past few years, our main task was to practice internal skills and fill the gap in China. So far, the domestic low-end machine tool market has been basically occupied by our Chinese enterprises. In terms of mid-end machine tools, foreign companies still have a certain share, but it is a matter of time before we are squeezed out, at most three or four years.

"There is still a certain gap between us and foreign countries for high-end machine tools, but we are trying to catch up. The country's requirement for us is that around 2035, high-end machine tools will basically get rid of dependence on foreign countries, even if the market share can not be fully controlled in our own hands, at least we must form bargaining power with foreign countries, as well as the ability to respond to foreign sanctions.

"Last month, the leaders of our 'machine 20' mechanism held a meeting together and set the course of action for the next seven or eight years, that is, to fill the gap of high-end machine tools in China at the same time, take the initiative to enter the foreign low-end machine tool market, and grab the share of foreign machine tool peers. ”

"High!" Shao Junjie gave a thumbs up and said, "This should be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, no, should it be called fighting to feed the war?"

"Mayor Shao summed it up smartly!" Tang Zifeng gave the other party a thumbs up in turn, and said with a smile: "The two you said should be both." ”

Being able to summarize the outward-looking strategy determined by "Machine 20" into the words "drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle" and "nourishing war with war" also shows Shao Junjie's vision.

The so-called bottom of the kettle salary, refers to the Chinese machine tool enterprises carved up the foreign machine tool market, the income of foreign machine tool companies has decreased, so that it is difficult to invest more money in the research and development of high-end machine tools, which is equivalent to slowing down their pace.

The so-called war is from the perspective of Chinese enterprises. Chinese companies can gain profits from foreign markets and use them for their own research and development, so they will be able to compete with foreign companies.

The former is to weaken the other party, the latter is to strengthen themselves, this in and out, can make the gap between Chinese enterprises and foreign enterprises quickly narrow, this is the wishful thinking of the leaders of various enterprises at the 20 Summit.

Shao Junjie just listened to Tang Zifeng say this, and he was able to summarize their considerations, and the word "Junjie" in his name was not in vain.

"How successful can our country's machine tool enterprises enter the international market?" asked Shao Junjie.

Tang Zifeng said: "It's not a small success. Low-end machine tools, now Europe, the United States and Japan of the old enterprises have been disdainful to do, our opponents are basically South Korea, Singapore and our Chinese island of Taiwan, our level is not worse than them, to defeat them should not be a problem.

"In terms of mid-range machine tools, we still have some gaps compared with the old companies in Europe, America and Japan, but they are all within the generations, and there is not much difference for users. Our advantage lies in the low price, the same horizontal machine tool, the Japanese company's price is 30,000 US dollars, we are 120,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 15,000 US dollars, which is very attractive to users. ”

"Yes, yes, our Chinese products are cheap, which they can't learn. Shao Junjie said.

Tang Zifeng said: "Among them, there is also the credit of the exchange rate." Our current exchange rate against the US dollar is 8 to 1, and if the RMB appreciates to 6 to 1, then 120,000 RMB will become 20,000 US dollars, so our competitiveness will decrease. Recently, the United States has been pressuring us to appreciate the value of the yuan.

"According to the inside information I heard, maybe in the next few years, the renminbi will really appreciate to 6 to 1, or even higher. At that point, it will be even more difficult for us to enter the international market. So, we're racing against time now. ”

"Race against time, it should be, it should be!" Shao Junjie said as if he felt the same way, and then he showed an extremely bright smile on his face and said:

"Brother Tang, you have done such a big business, it really makes my brother feel envious. We are laymen on the side of the government and can't help this kind of thing like competing with foreigners to grab the market. However, if the Linji Group wants to develop greatly, is there anything that our government can help? If so, Brother Tang said that it is okay, and we have the responsibility to do so. ”
