Chapter 419: Can You Afford to Wait?
Mr. Tang, you said it so well!"
Among the factory leaders, someone shouted.
In the past few decades, it is really not once or twice that military enterprises have been angry with foreigners.
When purchasing equipment, people clearly say that the most advanced equipment is not sold, and what is sold to the Chinese can only be several generations behind, and you love to buy it or not, and people hold the shelf, you know that you have to bow your head.
Some key equipment, even directly take a glass house to lock, the key is held in the hands of others, you want to use it once, you have to submit an application to others, stating that it will not be used in the manufacture of cutting-edge national defense equipment, otherwise people have the right to refuse.
You know, this is the equipment you bought with money, and it is placed in your factory, but the right to use it is not yours, is there anything more humiliating in the world?
In recent years, the level of domestic equipment manufacturing has improved, and many equipment that can only rely on imports in the past have also had domestic substitute products. It turned out that the attitude of those foreign businessmen who had been dragged down a lot of money had also eased a lot, although it was far from the level of kneeling on the ground and begging them to purchase as predicted by Tang Zifeng, but compared to the arrogance of the past, it was a world of difference.
In the early years, the military industrial complex was poorly treated and lost a lot of people. Those who can stick to it are all deeply rooted in the word "serving the country" in their bones, and no one is more looking forward to raising their eyebrows in front of foreigners than them.
This time in the dispute between Factory 82 and Teng Ji, most people proceeded from the interests of the department, and did not deeply ponder Teng Ji's demands, nor did they think about the evil consequences brought about by this incident. Now, after Tang Zifeng said, everyone reacted, yes, PATEO was able to agree to export milling machines to Factory 82, isn't it because Tengji made the same kind of milling machine? Subsequently, PATEO changed his hexagram because he suspected that Tengji's results were untrue.
In the final analysis, other people's ups and downs all stem from whether you have the strength or not. Factory 82 abandoned Tengji as an ally, so it was humiliated by Botai. If Teng Ji has a strong backing for him, even if the equipment it provides is not as advanced as PATEO, it can force PATEO to lower its high head.
Of course, everyone was able to figure this out quickly, and it was also because Tang Zifeng successfully angered everyone just now. Taking a slap also helps to be sober-minded, if Tang Zifeng tells everyone this truth in another way, I am afraid that everyone will not be so easy to accept.
People, they are all cheap!
Hearing his subordinates applauding Tang Zifeng, Fan Chaodong turned his head and glanced at the person who was shouting, and when he turned around, the anger in his eyes had all subsided. The reason why subordinates can figure it out, and he, as the factory director, has no reason not to figure it out. For the sake of 40 million R&D funds, they did not hesitate to tear their faces with Teng Ji, which seems to be a really short-sighted move.
The purchase of PATEO's machine tools is to better complete the production of military products. But in doing so, considering Teng Ji's feelings, it can actually be done. Maybe it's a bit difficult to compensate Teng Ji for the 40 million funds, but if you work hard, fight for it from the Commission of Science and Technology, and compensate 8 million, is it okay?
In the future equipment procurement, try to tilt a little bit to Tengji's side, and make up for the loss of the embankment outside an embankment, in fact, it can be done, why should I refuse to negotiate with Tengji amicably?
"Mr. Tang, you just said that you want to establish a cooperation mechanism between the two sides, how to do it, can you tell me about it?" Fan Chaodong said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the private room felt that the temperature around them seemed to have risen by a few degrees, and there was no longer the cold and swishing feeling just now.
What, Fan Chaodong can actually speak to Tang Zifeng like this, doesn't he care about Tang Zifeng's offense? Is this what he means to shake hands with Tang Zifeng?
Tang Zifeng naturally felt Fan Chaodong's kindness, he smiled slightly, and said, "Director Fan, and Director Zhong, let's sit down and talk." ”
"Yes, yes, sit down. Before I came, our director also specially told me to listen to Mr. Tang's opinions so that we can improve our work in the future. Zhong Xu hurriedly agreed.
Although he came on behalf of the Commission of Science and Technology, his level was there, and he couldn't stand up in front of Tang Zifeng and Fan Chaodong. If the two sides clash, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold it down. Now that both sides have the intention of easing, he is also relieved.
Everyone sat down separately, Tang Zifeng and Fan Chaodong naturally sat in the two positions of the head, and Zhong Xu sat on the other side of Fan Chaodong, talking to Tang Zifeng across Fan Chaodong.
"Director Fan, Director Zhong, this time the matter between Factory 82 and Teng Ji is just a breach of contract by Factory 82 on the surface, which has caused tens of millions of yuan of economic losses to Teng Ji. However, from a deep analysis, it reflects that some of our departments lack sufficient understanding of the strategic significance of the localization of core equipment.
"Foreign countries have always been highly vigilant about the development of our military industry. In recent years, the focus of Western countries has not been on China, so some key equipment has also opened up to us, as far as I know, our military industry has purchased a lot of high-end machine tools from the international market, which has greatly improved the production capacity of military products. Tang Zifeng said.
Zhong Xu nodded and said: "That's true, in the past two years, foreign restrictions on our equipment have been relaxed a lot, and we have also seized the time to purchase a large number of precision processing equipment." ”
Tang Zifeng said: "That's it. In the past, foreign countries embargoed us, so the military industry still attached great importance to our local machine tool companies......"
"Mr. Tang, in fact, we now also attach great importance to local machine tool companies, the military and civilian families. Ke Guoqiang confessed with a smiling face.
Tang Zifeng smiled and did not refute, but continued: "There is still a gap between the level of our country's machine tool industry and foreign countries. Many of the machine tools that you have purchased are not yet available to us, and you can buy them from the international market, which solves a big problem. ”
"Yes, yes, we also consider that there is still a gap between domestic machine tools and foreign countries, so we seek to obtain these machine tools from the international market. Zhong Xu said.
Tang Zifeng said: "However, in this way, a hidden danger has been formed. Your production is increasingly dependent on these imported high-end machine tools, in case one day foreign countries suddenly propose to cut off our supply, you not only can not buy new machine tools, even the original machine tool accessories can not be obtained, then how will your production be maintained?
"In the past, the level of your equipment was low, and the technical requirements of the products you produced were also low. Now, you are being raised by imported machine tools, once you can't get imported machine tools, I'm afraid you can't return to the original state, right?"
"That's true. Fan Chaodong said, "Let's just say that this time we asked Tengji to develop a special precision milling machine, because our product standards have been improved, and it can no longer be produced with the original equipment." Our other process links are all imported high-end machine tools, only the fuel tank internal precision milling link, because we have not been able to negotiate with PATEO, it has become a bottleneck, so we have to ask Tengji to help. ”
"That's right. Tang Zifeng said, "The link of precision milling machine, now Tengji has broken through." PATEO is willing to sell, you can use PATEO. If PATEO is not willing to sell, you can also solve the problem with Tengji's equipment. However, the rest of your processes are all imported machine tools, and there are no domestic substitutes at all. If one day foreign countries stop exporting this kind of machine tool to us, what are you going to do?"
"When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to ask the local comrades to help. Zhong Xu said.
Tang Zifeng shook his head and said, "It will be too late then." It sometimes takes years to develop a high-end machine tool. There are many types of machine tools you use, if there are more than a dozen, dozens of high-end machine tools need to be developed from scratch, even if we use all the power of these local machine tool enterprises, I am afraid it will take ten or eight years to solve, can you afford to wait?"
"Can't wait. Zhong Xu said honestly, "If this happens, it is likely that the international situation has undergone severe changes, and at that time, our military production tasks will only be heavier, and we can't wait for a day." ”
Tang Zifeng said: "So, what we need to consider now is not the problem of Tengji's precision milling machine, but the problem of all the imported equipment used in your military system." Taking advantage of the fact that the international situation has not yet developed to a severe point, we should pay close attention to research and development work to ensure that each machine tool has technical reserves. And once the other party realizes that we have enough technical reserves, they will not dare to take such a way as cutting off supply easily. ”
Ke Guoqiang said: "Mr. Tang is right. It's a bit like when we worked on the atomic bomb. When we didn't have it, the Americans, the Soviets, were threatening to do 'surgery' on us all the time. When we do, they shut up. The role of the atomic bomb is not to actually launch it, but to deter it. ”
"Director Zhong, this matter is beyond the scope of our 82 factory, and it needs to be considered by the Science and Technology Industry Commission. Fan Chaodong said to Zhong Xu.
Zhong Xu said: "That's right, this is indeed something that we need to consider as a whole, and I will bring Mr. Tang's opinions back and report to the leaders." However, Director Fan, it is best for your company to put forward some opinions, such as the threat of foreign supply cut-off that Mr. Tang just mentioned, and your company feels the deepest. ”
"As far as I'm concerned, it's a matter of urgency. Fan Chaodong said, "Actually, we also had this sense of crisis, but because the production task was too heavy, we were busy every day, and we couldn't take care of the long-term." Hearing Mr. Tang say this today, I was also scared into a cold sweat.
"Some of the imported equipment in our workshop that undertakes the processing tasks of key links must be maintained frequently. Spare parts for maintenance, foreign countries are very tight on us, and the spare parts provided each time are only enough for this maintenance use, and we are not allowed to leave inventory.
"If one day a foreign country suddenly attacks us and stops supplying these spare parts, our equipment will have to run for a month or two at most, and at that time, all production will have to stop, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
