Chapter 459: You can't be singing a double reed, are you?
On behalf of Dahe, Suhua signed a cooperation agreement with Tang Zifengcao, paid 20 million yuan in R&D funds, entrusted Linji Group to develop special machine tools for UAV processing, and promised that in the next five years, Dahe's main production equipment will be preferentially purchased from Linji Group's enterprises.
Linji Group's commitment is to develop a special machine tool that meets the needs of Dahe Company within half a year, and if it is not completed on time, it will be compensated according to the delay.
After signing the agreement, Su Hua and Ning Mo said goodbye and left, and before going out, Ning Mo happily invited Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun to have a barbecue with them at night.
"Chief Engineer Qin can go if he wants to......"
This is what Ning Mo said to Qin Zhongnian, although the expression is a little unpleasant, at least it proves that Ning Mo did not regard Qin Zhongnian as an enemy, which can be regarded as a friendly expression.
"This Xiao Ning! is still the same temper!"
Listening to the footsteps of Su Hua and Ning Mo disappearing into the corridor, Qin Zhongnian commented with a smile. Because of Ning Mo's friendship with Tang Zifeng, Qin Zhongnian had also dealt with Ning Mo in the past, and he knew that this guy was brainless, and if he was careful, he would lose.
"Tang Zifeng, how do I think that the agreement you signed with Su Hua and them is a bit too favorable. ”
Xiao Wenjun was concerned about another issue, Su Hua was present just now, and it was inconvenient for her to say it directly. Now that the other party has left, she can ask questions.
Tang Zifeng said that he wanted to gamble with Su Hua and them, but the conditions he offered were not standard gambling methods. According to the VAM method, if Dahe Company is unable to reach a certain purchase amount in the next three years, it should transfer some benefits to Linji Group, which is generally to cede equity to make up for the losses of Linji Group.
Tang Zifeng's conditions only required that if Dahe Company was developed, it must purchase equipment from Linji Group, but if Dahe Company failed to achieve the expected sales and thus did not purchase enough equipment from Linji Group, there was no punishment.
Such a gamble is equivalent to just a gamble by the Linji Group, betting on the achievements of Dahe Company, and Dahe Company did not pay the bet.
Of course, the cooperation between enterprises does not have to be a VAM. In fact, VAM is also undesirable for companies that pursue stability. But now, Dahe Company is obviously in a predicament, and Linji Group has no pressure, at this time it is okay to force the other party to sign an obviously unfavorable agreement, how can it be reversed to give profits to the other party?
In Xiao Wenjun's heart, he faintly felt that Tang Zifeng's move might be in the face of an acquaintance. The three shareholders of Dahe Company, Su Hua and Yu Xiaohui are one family, Huang Liting is Tang Zifeng's business partner, and Ning Mo is Tang Zifeng's hair small, so it can be said that they are Tang Zifeng's closest people, and Tang Zifeng takes care of them, which is understandable from the perspective of human feelings.
But here's the problem.
First of all, Linji Group is not Tang Zifeng's private enterprise, Tang Zifeng is generous to the country and takes care of his friends, is it appropriate to do so?
Of course, it is not uncommon for state-owned enterprises to fake public and private affairs, but Xiao Wenjun knows that Tang Zifeng is not such a person. Tang Zifeng himself is not short of money, and he has used his own money to subsidize the public a lot over the years. For example, he originally had shares in the new Jingwei company, but later transferred the shares to the Canglong Research Institute, according to the current market value of the new Jingwei company, Tang Zifeng's loss is also tens of millions.
To help Dahe Company, Tang Zifeng has several options, and he doesn't have to harm the public and private interests like this, so his actions this time are very abnormal.
Secondly, even if Tang Zifeng really had his brain in the water, and if he wanted to do such an unreasonable thing, he should change the way, at least not in front of Qin Zhongnian, and he would put forward this plan by himself. To put it more conspiratorically, he only needs to hint to Zhang Jianyang, and Zhang Jianyang will understand it and propose it for him at the group office meeting, so that Tang Zifeng will take his responsibility clean.
To say that Tang Zifeng can't think of this, Xiao Wenjun absolutely doesn't believe it. Tang Zifeng is a layman when it comes to designing machine tools, but when it comes to playing with Tao strategy, Xiao Wenjun has really never seen a few more shrewd than Tang Zifeng.
A shrewd person made such a low-level mistake, which made Xiao Wenjun not feel strange.
She directly picked out the problem at this time, but in fact, it was largely for Qin Zhongnian. She hoped that Tang Zifeng would be able to say a reasonable reason before Qin Zhongnian, at least to get Qin Zhongnian through first.
Hearing Xiao Wenjun's question, Tang Zifeng smiled, pointed at Qin Zhongnian with his finger, and said, "Chief Engineer Qin, you can explain it for me." You see, I gave profits to Dahe Company like this, and Professor Xiao couldn't even see it. If I don't give a reasonable explanation, I'll probably have to kneel on the keyboard when I get home at night. ”
"Wouldn't it? I think Wen Jun is quite reasonable. Qin Zhongnian said.
"What do you mean, Uncle Qin, you ...... It can't be singing a double reed, right?" Xiao Wenjun asked with some hindsight.
Qin Zhongnian glared at Tang Zifeng and said, "Isn't this all Zifeng's bad idea, let me cooperate with him to deceive people." Xiao Su and Xiao Ning may still be thanking Zifeng now, but they don't know that Zifeng has already calculated them. ”
"What do you mean? Why do I think that the agreement that Zifeng signed with Su Hua just now has no loss to Dahe Company, but our Linji Group has suffered a loss. Xiao Wenjun said.
Qin Zhongnian said: "We didn't suffer any losses. According to Zifeng's statement, he just didn't take advantage of it. In fact, I said that it would cost three or five billion yuan to develop such a set of equipment, and it was also to deceive them, but in fact, how could I use so much money. ”
"Three or five hundred million is indeed a bit overestimated, but to develop it from scratch, it is still possible to invest one or two hundred million. I took a look at their needs, this kind of multi-station simultaneous processing equipment, the technical difficulty is not small. Xiao Wenjun said.
Qin Zhongnian said: "What you said is to develop from scratch, if we already have some foundations, but only make some modifications on the original basis, the investment will not be so large." ”
"Are you saying that Linji has a foundation for this? Why don't I know?" Xiao Wenjun said in surprise.
It's no surprise that she said that. Xiao Wenjun is still a part-time expert at the Canglong Research Institute. Xiao Wenjun will be invited to participate in the seminar for many new product development of Linji Group, so she is more familiar with the product line of Linji Group. In her impression, Linji Group does not have the equipment that can meet the production requirements of Dahe UAVs, and many technologies need to be designed from scratch.
Qin Zhongnian said: "There are relatively few things you are involved in this period, so you may not know about this matter. Xiao Tang assigned us a new research direction, that is, the development of special machine tools for automobile manufacturing, the group took out 500 million to do this, it is still just beginning, there are not many results, and I have not had time to invite you to participate. ”
"I've heard Zifeng say something about this, but he didn't say that he would take out 500 million to do it. 500 million ...... , this is a big project!" Xiao Wenjun was very emotional.
"500 million is just the first phase of investment, and it will be added in the future, one billion, two billion, it is possible. Tang Zifeng said lightly.
"You cow!" Xiao Wenjun choked, but he also admitted in his heart that Tang Zifeng had the qualifications to brag. Compared with other enterprises, Linji Group is indeed very generous in terms of technology research and development.
The high R&D investment has brought about product upgrades, and the product upgrades have allowed Linji Group to obtain more profits, so as to support such R&D, which has formed a virtuous circle. The leaders of some other enterprises also have such awareness, but they lack the courage of Tang Zifeng, especially they dare not covet the international market, and only dare to flutter on the domestic one-third of an acre, so they do not have such a big hand.
"Uncle Qin means that the automobile machine tools you are engaged in have something in common with the drone machine tools they want in Suhua, and you can transfer the technology on the automobile machine tools?"
With Xiao Wenjun's cleverness, he immediately guessed the purpose of Qin Zhongnian's words.
By industry, the automotive industry is one of the largest customers in the machine tool industry. In the early years, China's automobile industry was relatively backward, the annual output of automobiles in the country was only hundreds of thousands of units, the production capacity was distributed in dozens of automobile factories, and the annual output of the largest enterprises was less than 100,000 units, so the concept of special machine tools for automobiles was not prominent. Many automobile companies use general-purpose machine tools to process auto parts, just as Dahe uses general-purpose machine tools to process drone parts.
In recent years, the domestic automobile industry has ushered in a great development, the automobile production capacity has grown at a rate of dozens of percentage points per year, and by 2005, the total output of automobiles in the country has exceeded 5 million.
Large-scale production creates a demand for special equipment, especially for special machine tools.
For example, there are a large number of disc parts in automobiles, and CNC lathes with double spindles and double cutterheads are needed to complete the processing of two sides of disc parts at one time and improve production efficiency.
For example, some auto parts are produced in large quantities, but are limited to a few processing methods, which requires the machining center not to be equipped with a tool magazine with too many tools, only a few tools are needed, so as to reduce the cost of the machining center and save the equipment investment of automobile enterprises.
China's machine tool industry in the past did not specifically for the development of the automobile industry and product research and development, when the automobile industry suddenly developed, the domestic machine tool enterprises appear to be overstretched, difficult to cope. The Machinery Industry Federation once did a survey and found that more than eighty percent of the equipment in the automobile industry depends on imports, and domestic machine tools can only occupy 20% of the market share, which is a very grim situation.
Tang Zifeng claimed to invest 500 million yuan in the research and development of automobile machine tools, which is based on this background.
