Chapter 440: Some Comrades Are Too Sincere
Knowing that Tang Zifeng was measured, the two old leaders were also relieved, they were really afraid that Tang Zifeng would be obsessed with wealth and invest in Russia without restraint, which would easily bring hidden dangers.
"Tell me about your plan. Xie Tiancheng changed to a more comfortable position and sat down, and said to Tang Zifeng.
Tang Zifeng returned to Beijing this time to report the matter to the leaders, so he was not hypocritical at this time, and talked eloquently:
"I was also inspired by the Petrov Machine Tool Factory. Russia is rich in oil and other mineral resources, and as long as it is operated properly, the recovery of the economy is very fast. After all, Russia is also a large country with a population of more than 100 million, with a tradition of developing heavy industry, and the future market for mechanical products is very considerable. ”
"Indeed, there is information that the demand for machine tools in Russia is rising sharply. Xie Tiancheng said.
Tang Zifeng said: "Exactly. As far as machine tools are concerned, Russia currently has almost no capacity to produce CNC machine tools, and the required CNC machine tools are obtained either from Europe or from China. Now that the Europeans are disdainful of occupying the Russian market, this is an excellent opportunity for us.
"If we start operating the Russian market now, by the time the Europeans start to pay attention to this market, we will already have a firm foothold, and the Europeans will have to work hard to snatch this market from us. ”
Xie Tiancheng nodded and said, "There is some truth to this statement. This is like the beginning of our country's reform and opening up, the introduction of a lot of Japanese equipment. After everyone has formed a habit of use, European and American companies will have to pay a greater price if they want to change everyone's habits. ”
"Another point is that even if Russia has abandoned its old system, it will still be a potential threat in the eyes of the West. Friction between Western countries and Russia is inevitable. And once friction occurs between the two sides, it will be difficult for Russia to smoothly obtain machinery and equipment from the West, and I believe that Russia's decision-making level will not ignore this. Tang Zifeng said.
"So what should we do?" Xie Tiancheng asked.
Tang Zifeng said: "I think that our approach is to organize domestic enterprises to go to Russia and carry out extensive cooperation with Russian enterprises. It is possible to use the method of establishing joint ventures, using the existing foundations of Russian enterprises, together with our technical and supporting capabilities, to resume the production of machinery and equipment in Russia. ”
"If we just want to occupy the Russian market, we can export machinery and equipment directly to Russia, is it necessary to engage in joint ventures with their enterprises?" Zhou Heng questioned.
Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "Lao Zhou, think about it, let's export equipment directly to Russia, what should we do with the original enterprises in Russia? I heard Frolov say that the Russian government has introduced a series of policies to revitalize the manufacturing industry, on the one hand, to ensure domestic employment, and on the other hand, it is out of the consideration of equipment independence.
"It is conceivable that if the products on the Russian market are all imported from China, the Russian government will absolutely not tolerate it. They will certainly use all means to help their own enterprises resume production and achieve import substitution.
"On the contrary, if we go to joint ventures with Russian companies, we can not only ensure domestic employment in Russia, but also allow Russia to localize equipment without worrying about being constrained by others, and I believe they will welcome this approach." ”
"But, in this way, aren't we at a loss?" Zhou Heng said.
Tang Zifeng said: "This is where we need to grasp the balance. We have joint ventures with Russian enterprises for the production of machinery and equipment, and the key technologies must be kept in our own hands. Russia's original industrial system has been completely disrupted, and without external support, it is impossible for them to independently produce the products they need. As long as we control the key technology, they will have to cooperate with us for a long time, and there will be no situation of unloading and killing donkeys. ”
Xie Tiancheng said: "Your idea is very good, but if you keep the key technologies in your own hands and do not hand them over to the other party, will the other party not be able to see it? Once the other party sees through your intentions, won't they exert their efforts to break through these key technologies?"
"Over the years, Western countries have cooperated with us, and they have also made this idea, but haven't we also solved those key technologies one by one?"
"Russia is not China. Tang Zifeng said confidently, "China has the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and a group of old leaders like Mr. Xie and Director Zhou, so naturally they will not sit idly by and watch foreigners pinch our necks." Russian enterprises are now privately owned, and the state cannot interfere in their operations or order them to solve key technical problems at any cost.
"After these enterprises join forces with us, they can get enough profits and solve jobs, so naturally there is no incentive to break through any key technical problems. The government of the Russian Federation has a lot to do, and it probably doesn't have so much energy to stare at such a trivial matter, right?"
Hearing Tang Zifeng say this, Xie Tiancheng and Zhou Heng both smiled heartily. Those questions just now, in fact, they themselves already had the answers in their hearts, and the reason why they wanted to ask Tang Zifeng was just to hear what this young man had to say. Tang Zifeng's answers, some of which were consistent with the views of the two old leaders, and some even exceeded their original ideas, making them feel that their eyes were also bright.
"So, have you thought about this question carefully?" Xie Tiancheng asked with a smile.
Tang Zifeng hurriedly pretended to be low-key: "Where and where, this is just some of my superficial thoughts, and I want to ask you to criticize when I say it in front of the two leaders." ”
"Hey, when did Xiao Tang become so modest?" Xie Tiancheng said with a pretended surprise.
"Just pretend to be modest. Zhou Heng didn't save face for Tang Zifeng, and said sharply, "He must have seriously considered this matter for a long time, and now he is running in front of the two of us to show off, just waiting for us to praise him." ”
"Director Zhou, I'm also a soldier brought out by you, so you don't need to save face for me like this, right?" Tang Zifeng said aggrievedly.
Zhou Heng ignored Tang Zifeng's pretense, but turned his head to Xie Tiancheng and said, "Mr. Xie, Xiao Tang's idea still has merit. On the issue of cooperation with Russia, the relevant departments have been vacillating, mainly because they feel that it is difficult to handle proportions.
"This idea put forward by Xiao Tang can not only ensure a win-win situation between China and Russia in cooperation, but also avoid hidden dangers that may arise in the future, and I think it should be used as the principle for us to carry out technical cooperation with Russia. ”
"Yes, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. It is indeed not easy for Xiao Tang to think of this. In contrast, some of our comrades are too honest on this issue...... "Xie Tiancheng said.
Tang Zifeng said with a bitter face: "Mr. Xie, if you want to say that I am not honest, just say it directly, there is no need to turn around and scold people like this." ”
For Tang Zifeng's weirdness, Xie Tiancheng and Zhou Heng are no longer surprised, and they don't bother to bother with him. This idea put forward by Tang Zifeng has some relevance to the problems that the national decision-making level is thinking about, and Xie Tiancheng said that he will report to his superiors as soon as possible and ask the higher-level leaders to make a decision.
Next, the three of them discussed the cooperation between the Linji Group and the Petrov Machine Tool Factory, Xie Tiancheng promised to give the Linji Group more autonomy, and claimed that this was for the sake of experimentation, let the Linji Group try it first, to see what risks the cooperation with Russian enterprises has, and how to avoid it.
After talking about things, Tang Zifeng left the Electromechanical Corporation. He saw that it was still early, so he drove to the new Jingwei company. He remembered that Li Kejia called him a few days ago and said that there were some things about the company's operation that he wanted to discuss with him. He was still asking Li Kejia on the phone what was going on, but Li Kejia mysteriously refused to say, saying that he needed to meet and talk about it.
"You're back, I thought you'd be in the river for a while. ”
Li Kejia received Tang Zifeng in her office, and she said with a smile while making tea for Tang Zifeng.
"There's no way, Senior Sister called, do I dare not come back quickly?" Tang Zifeng's mouth was as sweet as honey, "You don't know, I pushed off several businesses of more than 100 million yuan, just to rush back to see you, Senior Sister." ”
Li Kejia snorted disdainfully and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid you rushed back to see your precious son, right?" As the general manager of a large group company, you spend most of the year in the capital, accompanying your wife and children, are you worthy of the salary paid to you by the state?"
"I was wrong, I accept criticism, so let's go, I'll leave immediately, go back to Linhe, and don't come back for half a year. Tang Zifeng owed his body as he spoke, and made it look like he was going to get up and leave at any time.
Li Kejia was afraid of Tang Zifeng's threat, she pointed to the door and said, "You go, if you can really do it without returning to the capital for half a year, I will call you senior brother in the future, and you can call me junior sister." ”
"I'm not fooled! How good it is to be a junior brother, there is food, drink, and take, and only a fool wants to be a senior brother. Tang Zifeng's face did not change and he denied everything he said just now.
After a few laughs, Li Kejia changed his serious expression and said, "Zifeng, I invited you over this time, I really want to hear your opinions on some important issues related to the development of the company." Several executives in the company are in the technical field, and when it comes to business matters, they always have a string missing in their heads, and I can't discuss it with them. ”
"What important issue can make Senior Sister so serious?" Tang Zifeng said in surprise, "Isn't the development of New Jingwei Company quite good over the years?"
Li Kejia sighed: "Whether it's good or not depends on how you look at it." If we just want to jump in the domestic market, the current state can indeed be called quite good. But don't forget, Tu'au has always wanted to trample us under his feet, and we're in a situation where we're going against the tide and retreating if we don't advance. ”
