Chapter 48 Machine tools are not the same as machine tools

"What machine do they want?"

Tang Zifeng asked on the phone.

"Isn't a machine tool a machine tool?" Bao Nana asked rhetorically, "I told them that you are the manufacturer of Changying brand machine tools, and their manager had a very good impression of you, saying that when he was young, he drove Changying brand machine tools in the factory, and then said that if they need machine tools you can provide, he will give priority." ”

Tang Zifeng said bitterly: "Please, sister, the machine tools include lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, boring machines, grinding machines, planers, slotting machines, broaching machines, sawing machines, and combined machine tools." The same lathe, there are horizontal lathes, vertical lathes, the same grinding machines, cylindrical grinders, surface grinders, but also divided into different precision, the maximum processing length, the maximum processing depth, you say out of thin air that people need 4 machine tools, how do you let me know if I can provide it?

"Ah, it's so complicated, why didn't you say it earlier?" Bao Nana complained on the other end of the phone. She studied journalism, and she really didn't know much about industry. In fact, Tang Zifeng didn't know that there were so many classifications of machine tools when he was in college, and he gradually heard about these knowledge after he worked in the second bureau, and some of them were even made up after arriving at the first machine.

"However, I and the manager have already bragged, saying that you are a large state-owned factory, an old factory, and you can build any machine tool. He originally planned to import these 4 machine tools from abroad, but as soon as he heard me, he pushed the foreign order. Bao Nana said.

"I'm sweating!" Tang Zifeng was really convinced, he said: "In this way, you tell me the other party's phone number, I want to talk to him and see what is going on." ”

"And what about my commission?" asked Bao Nana, snorting.

"You are indispensable!" Tang Zifeng said angrily.

Bao Nana grinned and reported the other party's information to Tang Zifeng. It turned out that the unit contacted by Bao Nana was Jinyao Waste Materials Recycling Company, and the contact person was the company manager, named Mao Yaguang. Tang Zifeng hung up Bao Nana's phone and directly dialed Mao Yaguang's number.

"Manager Mao, I am the assistant director of Linhe No. 1 Machine Tool Factory, and my name is Tang Zifeng. I have a junior sister named Bao Nana, who said that you plan to purchase 4 machine tools here, is that the case?" Tang Zifeng asked bluntly.

Mao Yaguang said: "Yes, yes, we do plan to purchase 4 machine tools. We originally planned to import it from abroad, and the contract was about to be signed, but we were informed that the foreign exchange indicator could not be solved and could not be bought. No, it happened that the reporter came to us for an interview, and when we talked about it, they were very enthusiastic about recommending your factory. Good guys, a machine, a Changying brand machine tool, it was the top back then. I said at the time, as long as your factory can provide the machine tools we need, the price is right, the quality is reliable, the performance is similar to foreign products, the supply is timely, and the after-sales guarantee is reliable, I will choose you......"

Tang Zifeng listened to him list the requirements like a cross talk, so that he didn't suffocate himself in one breath. You said it so heroically, what a pro-yi machine and a long tassel machine tool are all top-notch, as if we have to do it. But none of the requirements you listed are lenient. But as long as a machine tool company can do all these conditions, who will refuse its products? In the final analysis, isn't this just an empty favor?

"Manager Mao, can I inquire, what kind of machine tool do you want, lathe, milling machine, or grinder?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"What do I want a lathe mill for?" Mao Yaguang asked puzzledly, "I used to drive a lathe in the factory, but now that I am in a waste material recycling company, what is the use of our lathes?"

"And what do you want?"

"Metal baling machine tools, didn't the reporter tell you?"

"Uh, I didn't say it too clearly...... "Tang Zifeng sweated.

"Reporter Bao said you can provide it!"

"Really? I still have to ask...... I'll let the people in the technical department take a look to see if the metal packing machine we produce can meet your requirements. "Tang Zifeng is damp and sweaty, this Bao Nana really dares to say.

"Okay, I'll send you a copy of our product introduction from foreign businessmen, we just want that kind of model and specification of machine tools. Mao Yaguang said.

Tang Zifeng told Mao Yaguang the fax number of the factory office, Mao Yaguang is also a quick person, and after a while, he asked people to fax the information over. Tang Zifeng took these few pages of faxes, came to the technical department with a bitter face, and entered the room of the chief engineer Qin Zhongnian.

"Chief Engineer Qin, this is the information of the four machine tools that Jin Yao's company wants to purchase, can you see if we can produce them?" Tang Zifeng handed the fax forward and said.

Qin Zhongnian took the fax, only glanced at it, then raised his head, looked at Tang Zifeng and said, "Xiao Tang, are you okay?"

"I know ......," Tang Zifeng said with a wry smile, "I really am a non-person." ”

A waste recycling company is actually what people commonly call a waste collection station. Among the materials recycled by the company, there is a category of scrap metal, which is an important raw material for smelting steel or other metals. In recent years, the domestic economic development has been very fast, and there is a serious shortage of steel, resulting in the rising price of scrap metal, and the profit of recycling scrap metal is very considerable.

There are various forms of scrap metal recycled by waste material recycling companies, such as scrap angle steel, scrap steel bars, iron doors and windows, waste screws, etc., and some of them are iron shavings cut out during metal cutting in the factory, which looks very fluffy and a lot of weight.

Scrap metal like this must be packed before it can be transported, also known as briquetting, which is machined into dense chunks, which saves space. The metal packing machine tool that Mao Yaguang said is actually this kind of packing machinery, and it is not wrong to call it a machine tool.

The key is that the working principle of the packing machine tool is to press the loose metal into blocks, which should belong to the forging machine tool in terms of classification. The products of Linyi machine include horizontal lathes, gantry milling and boring machines and precision grinding machines, all of which are cutting machine tools, and forging machine tools are not the same thing at all. Change to a knowledgeable person to contact Mao Yaguang, as long as you listen to Mao Yaguang's request, you will know the difficulty and retreat. Only an industrial blind like Bao Nana will feel that the machine tools in the world are the same, and no matter what people want, they will take care of it.

Of course, Mao Yaguang knew that Linyi Machine was a cutting machine tool, but he didn't know if Linyi Machine could also make forging machine tools. In his mind, he thinks that Linyi Machine is a big enterprise, maybe everything can be built? Bao Nana bragged that she didn't pay taxes, and she only thought about the commission that Tang Zifeng promised her, and she didn't care about the difference between cutting machine tools and forging machine tools, so Tang Zifeng was put on the fire and roasted.

When Mao Yaguang said the six words of metal baling machine just now, Tang Zifeng knew that Bao Nana had put an oolong. But in that case, he was too embarrassed to say it directly. He asked Mao Yaguang to send the demand over, intending to buffer it, and in the future, Linyi Machine will not produce equipment of this specification, at least the two sides will not be too embarrassed. He brought the fax to Qin Zhongnian to see, that is, it was a matter of formalities, after all, if he wanted to reject such a demand, he had to seek the opinion of the technical department first, and he couldn't specialize in it.

Just when Tang Zifeng was about to leave in a gloomy manner, a person walked in outside the door, holding a document in his hand, probably to find Qin Zhongnian to sign or something. As soon as this person entered the door and saw Tang Zifeng, a smile appeared on his face: "Yo, it's Assistant Tang, you have important work to discuss with Chief Engineer Qin, or I'll come back later......"

It was Tang Zifeng's gold medal horse boy Han Weichang who spoke, seeing that he really wanted to avoid it, Tang Zifeng said: "Old Han, I'm fine, I'm actually here to abuse ......"

"Looking for abuse?" Han Weichang was stunned, why, Chief Engineer Qin still likes such a tune......

Tang Zifeng waved the fax in his hand and said, "The female reporter you met when you were in Jin Yao, my junior sister, played a joke on me and helped me contact the business of 4 metal baling machine tools. No, as soon as I opened my mouth, I let Chief Engineer Qin train a bloody dog. ”

"I didn't train you, let alone make you bloody. Qin Zhongnian sat behind the desk, writing something while not raising his head and said, "You obviously know that we are not engaged in forging equipment, and you still come to me with such an order, aren't you looking for something by yourself?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, Chief Engineer Qin. Tang Zifeng was doing a cheap review. These days, he is also familiar with Qin Zhongnian, Ning Suyun and other leaders, these people are at least ten years older than him, and he is qualified to sell cuteness in front of these people.

Qin Zhongnian raised his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Tang, I will talk to Lao Zhou about this matter when I go back." The business commission policy you engaged in has mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, but it has also made many people greedy, no matter what we can do the business that we can't do, we will ask the technical department, which is a pure waste of time. Let's just say that this morning, the old Liu from the administrative office came to me in a hurry, saying that he had contacted a big business, with tens of millions. ”

"What does such a big business do?" asked Tang Zifeng.

"It is said that the provincial post and telecommunications bureau wants a program-controlled switch. ”

"Uh......" Tang Zifeng was dumbfounded, this old Liu wouldn't have been kicked by a donkey in his brain, machine tools and switches, these are completely different things. If you ask Qin Zhongnian with such a list, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is smashing the field, no wonder Qin Zhongnian is so annoyed.

"Chief Engineer Qin, I'm a machine tool anyway. "Tang Zifeng has to make a name for himself, don't use him as an example to shoot at the next factory meeting.

"But this is a forging machine tool, when did our factory engage in a forging machine tool?" Qin Zhongnian reprimanded.

"Forging machine tools?" Han Weichang looked at Tang Zifeng, then at Qin Zhongnian, and blurted out: "Chief Engineer Qin, our factory has really engaged in forging machine tools!"
