I don't need a 160 square meter house, I can have 80 square meters to live with my parents. Ge Yafei said anxiously.

Tang Zifeng was stunned: "You mean, your wife and children didn't come back to China with you?"

Ge Yafei sneered: "I have never been married. ”

"Oh......" Tang Zifeng responded, and then said: "In terms of housing, I can solve a set of 120 square meters and a three-bedroom apartment for you." The property rights of the house belong to the research institute, which should be explained in advance. ”

"That's for sure. Ge Yafei said.

"But ......" Tang Zifeng dragged his tongue, and after satisfying Ge Yafei's appetite, he said leisurely: "If you can promise to work in the research institute for at least 15 years, then when the 15 years expire, the property rights of this house can be completely yours." ”

"Really?" Ge Yafei's eyes lit up. In fact, he is not very fond of teaching in colleges and universities, and it is more attractive to him to be able to engage in machine tool development in the research institute. Not to mention that Tang Zifeng also promised him a high salary and housing.

As for 15 years later, he will be 50 years old, and he probably won't think about changing jobs anymore, right?

"I need to get to know the institute first to see if it's the right fit for me. If it is suitable, I can sign a 15-year service contract with the Institute. Ge Yafei said. When it comes to matters of vital interests, his lips have become slippery.

"Okay, deal!" Tang Zifeng stretched out his hand to Ge Yafei.

Ge Yafei also understood this ceremony, so he stretched out his hand and shook Tang Zifeng, which was equivalent to a high-five oath, and said in his mouth: "Deal!"

Next, Tang Zifeng took Ge Yafei to the branch of the Canglong Research Institute in the capital, let him meet with the engineers working in the branch, and inspected the equipment of the branch. Ge Yafei was quite satisfied with the working environment, and after chatting with several engineers, he also confirmed that this research institute is definitely not a grass platform team, and the background behind it is still very deep, and his talent will not be buried.

The next day, Tang Zifeng asked his assistant Luo Xiaolu to call the shipping company, made an appointment with Kang Zhichao, and took Ge Yafei to visit. Kang Zhichao was very happy to hear that Tang Zifeng had found a postdoctoral fellow in the United States who had designed heavy-duty crankshaft machine tools. He called seven or eight of his engineers, and in the conference room, he started a technical discussion with Ge Yafei and Guan Yong, and the conversation was in full swing.

Tang Zifeng sat in the corner of the conference table, and listened to it for more than ten minutes, and his eyelids drooped involuntarily. When he woke up from a nap, he opened his sleepy eyes and saw Kang Zhichao sitting next to him, with a somewhat depressed look on his face.

"Yo, Mr. Kang, I'm really sorry, why did I fall asleep......? Uh, I was talking to a client last night about business, and it was too late. Tang Zifeng came as soon as he opened his mouth.

Kang Zhichao also has nothing to do with him, he is also the executive deputy director of a dignified state-owned factory, and theoretically the same level as him. What is it if people can bring people over to talk about things in their busy schedules, and make up for them when they are bored?

"It's okay, it's okay, Director Tang has every opportunity, and we should be embarrassed to delay Director Tang's time like this. ”

Tang Zifeng looked around and found that all the people had gone, leaving only Kang Zhichao and his assistant Luo Xiaolu, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What, you have finished talking?"

"That's it. Kang Zhichao nodded.

"So, what about them?"

"I asked Liu Zhen to take them to the reference room to find useful information. ”

"Oooh. What does Chief Engineer Kang think, how are you talking?"

"Very good!" Kang Zhichao said with a happy face, "Director Tang, you are so amazing, you can actually find such a great person as Ge Gong." I heard him say that when he was in the United States, he was in charge of the design of a heavy-duty crankshaft machine. He told us about the relevant parameters of the machine tool, which fully met our requirements. The easiest way now is to ask him to do the design he has done in the United States again, which is very easy. ”

"Isn't this good?" Tang Zifeng shook his head and said, "The work he does over there, the other company's intellectual property rights." If he makes another one, they will sue us. ”

"How can this be...... Kang Zhichao was a little stupid, and said: "Let's build the machine tool and put it in our shipyard, no one will let them see it, who will know that we have copied other people's equipment? Besides, Ge Gong said that the project was not done, and the US Navy bought a crankshaft machine tool from Germany and stopped building it itself." ”

Tang Zifeng said: "That's not good, we still respect intellectual property rights." Lao Kang,...... Uh, I mean, Chief Engineer Kang, don't worry, since Lao Ge is in our hands, let's let him design a better one for us, better than the Germans, what do you think?"

"Of course that's good!" said Kang Zhichao, "but, in this way, won't it be a long time?"

Tang Zifeng asked: "Chief Engineer Kang, when do you hope to get the machine tool?"

"Of course, the sooner the better!" Kang Zhichao said, "If we can build it next year, we won't have to wait for the Koreans to sell us the shaft." ”

"Next year? Tang Zifeng said, "Actually, with the idea, it is quite easy to invest more money to design the machine tool." ”

"Yes, yes, this is the same as our shipbuilding. Kang Zhichao echoed. Now he is anxious to get Tang Zifeng to promise to build them a heavy-duty crankshaft machine tool immediately, even if Tang Zifeng says that the sun comes out of the west, Lao Kang will definitely not deny it.

Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "So, the question is, where are the funds?"

"Uh......" Kang Zhichao was choked, and asked for a long time: "Director Tang, you don't want us to pay, do you?"

"What does Chief Engineer Kang think?"

"We can pay a part of the upfront payment, 20% of the way. ”

"50% is a good price. Tang Zifeng's bamboo pole slammed. The landlord's family has no surplus food, and the money of the Canglong Research Institute has been invested in more than a dozen different projects, and the funds are very tight. Taking advantage of Lao Kang's urgency, if he didn't take advantage of the fire to rob, he was simply sorry for the principal's signature on his undergraduate diploma.

"50%?" Kang Zhichao inhaled the cold air like a toothache and asked, "So, what is the price of one of your machine tools?"

"There is no specific accounting yet, the preliminary estimate is 80 million. Tang Zifeng said. This price is not made up by him, before coming to the shipping company, he pulled Ge Yafei, Guan Yong and others to discuss together, and finally came up with this price.

Kang Zhichao's face immediately became ugly: "Won't it? Germany's heavy shaft machine tool, one is more than 100 million yuan, and our domestic machine tool will cost 80 million, isn't this a pit?"

"Why don't I give you 100 million yuan and you buy me a German one?" Mr. Tang said.

Kang Zhichao immediately became dumb. It's not that they didn't want to buy German machine tools, but they refused to sell them. If the German is willing to sell, why should he look at this young man's face here?

"The first one, 80 million, the second, 60 million, and the third, 40 million each. How about this price?" Tang Zifeng finally quoted the reserve price.

The machine tool in front is expensive, because he has to spread the R & D cost into the selling price, and wait until the R & D cost is recovered, and the back is just produced according to the drawings, and the cost will not be used so much.

The cost of the machine tool is nothing more than the cost of materials plus labor. There are three reasons why machine tools in Germany are expensive, one is to amortize a part of the R & D costs, the other is the high labor price in Germany, the labor cost is more shared, and the last piece is the excess profit earned by virtue of technical advantages.

Linyi machine to build this kind of heavy shaft machine tool, the labor cost is much lower than that of the German company, and the excess profit is naturally to be earned, but after all, it will not be so dark, so the final price will be much lower than the German machine tool.

Hearing this price, Kang Zhichao's heart relaxed. China wants to build millions of deadweight tons of ships a year, and the demand for crankshafts is very large, so the crankshaft machine tool will not be purchased only one. If the follow-up machine tool only needs 40 million units, it is still more acceptable.

"Okay, I'll go and report in a while, and I'll give you an advance payment of 40 million first. However, Director Tang, let's talk ugly ahead, the 40 million will be transferred over, if you can't hand over the qualified crankshaft machine tool within next year, I won't give up. Kang Zhichao said through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, Lao Kang, when did my Tang Zifeng fall off the chain?" Tang Zifeng said loudly.

Looking at Tang Zifeng's smooth chin, thinking about the ancient adage of "no hair on the mouth, no work", Kang Zhichao really couldn't put his mind at ease.

"Also, now that I have implemented the crankshaft machine tool for you, should your shipping company also implement the commitment and give us the machine tool orders of the subordinate enterprises? Tang Zifeng continued.

"This ...... I'll try my best to coordinate. Kang Zhichao's voice was desolate. He remembers a bet he made with Tang Zifeng, when he said that if Tang Zifeng could build a crankshaft machine tool, he would try to promote his subordinate enterprises to give priority to the purchase of domestic machine tools. Now the machine tool thing is still not a word, Tang Zifeng asked him for a machine tool order, is this a cheat?

But people are cheating, what can he do?

"Lao Kang, we are partners. Tang Zifeng said triumphantly, and the title of Kang Zhichao was also quietly changed, "The development of crankshaft machine tools requires the concerted efforts of several machine tool factories." But if you want the family to work together, you have to give some material stimulation, right? Even if you drive a donkey, you have to tie a carrot in front of the donkey's nose, right?"

"Come on, Director Tang, I'll serve you. Kang Zhi held up the free battle card, "I'm a technician, and I don't have your mouth." In this way, let's sign the contract for the crankshaft machine tool, and then you send a salesman, and you can send a group. I'll personally take them to various shipyards to pull orders, do you think it's okay?"
