"We can't do either of these things. Fan Chaodong replied coldly.

Tang Zifeng didn't give him face, and he wouldn't give Tang Zifeng face. Tang Zifeng's temper is pretended, Fan Chaodong is really short-tempered, it is not easy to deign to visit Tang Zifeng this time, seeing Tang Zifeng's face, where does he have any patience.

Ke Guoqiang was afraid that Fan Chaodong's words would be too impulsive, so he clashed with Tang Zifeng, and hurriedly took over the conversation and said:

"It is impossible to purchase machine tools according to the previous agreement. PATEO's machine tool is much more efficient than Tengji's machine tool, and the price is also within the range we can accept, we want to improve production efficiency, but also to ensure the yield rate, in any case, we must give priority to PATEO's machine tools.

"As for compensating Teng Ji for the design fee, this is completely indescribable. The money of Factory 82 is all from the state, not me and Director Fan, and we have no right to promise to pay compensation to Tengji. What's more, Mr. Tang asked us to compensate 40 million with one mouth, and our 82 factory smashed the pot and sold iron, and we couldn't make up so much cash.

"This time, if we want to talk about our responsibility, the main thing is that we did not take into account the changes on the part of PATEO. If we had known that PATEO would lift the restrictions on this kind of precision milling machine, we would not have bothered to use the machine in the first place, so that there would not have been such a contradiction. ”

Tang Zifeng smiled slightly: "Director Ke, should we speak according to our conscience? If it weren't for Teng Ji to get the precision milling machine you wanted, how could PATEO cancel the restrictions? You are equivalent to using us as bait and catching the big fish of PATEO, as for whether we are bait or dead, you don't care, is this reasonable?"

Ke Guoqiang said: "Mr. Tang, the situation you understand may still be a little biased. PATEO agreed to lift the restriction before your milling machine was certified. It can't be said that it was because your milling machine passed the appraisal that PATEO lifted the restrictions. ”

"According to what we have learned, Factory 82 transferred the technical information of the new milling machine submitted to you by Tengji to PATEO, and PATEO determined that Tengji could develop this milling machine, which lifted the restrictions. Xiong Kai interjected on the side.

"This ...... , not exactly. Ke Guoqiang's old face was a little red.

He certainly knew the connection between the two things. In fact, taking Tengji's information to PATEO was deliberately done by Factory 82, the purpose was to stimulate PATEO and see if PATEO would lift the restriction because of this.

What Factory 82 didn't expect was that PATEO's response would be so fast, and after analyzing the data of Tengji's milling machine, it immediately notified Factory 82, claiming that the restrictions on precision milling machines could be lifted, which caught Factory 82 off guard.

Just now Ke Guoqiang said that the two things have nothing to do with each other, in fact, they are just strong words. Now that he is exposed by Xiong Kai in person, he will be a little embarrassed anyway.

"We did transfer Tengji's information to PATEO, but we didn't expect PATEO to really decide to lift the restrictions. At that time, we didn't know that Tengji had to invest so much in the development of this machine tool, didn't you engage in milling machines for decades, how to develop a new product, and invest tens of millions?" Ke Guoqiang said.

This is again pretending to be confused. Ke Guoqiang is very clear that the precision milling machine they want has many special requirements, and the development is very difficult, and it is not surprising that Tengji spent 40 million yuan on development. The reason why he said this was still to muddy the waters.

Of course, Tang Zifeng also knew Ke Guoqiang's intentions, and he didn't bother to argue with the other party about this, but said: "Director Fan, Director Ke, we both know the original situation. Tengji's loss, everyone also understands. It is impossible for Factory 82 to admit this money, and I will ask you now, how do you plan to solve this problem. ”

"How does Director Tang want us to solve this problem?" Ke Guoqiang asked rhetorically.

Tang Zifeng said: "My plan has been said just now. ”

"Our attitude, as I just said, can't be done. Fan Chaodong said.

"In other words, is Factory 82 planning to cheat?" asked Tang Zifeng.

Fan Chaodong said with a dark face: "We are not cheating, we are doing things for the country." Lao Ke and I didn't get a penny from this matter, and we have a clear conscience. ”

"What a clear conscience. Tang Zifeng laughed sarcastically, "Does Director Fan mean that as long as you and Director Ke don't take a penny, we can't help Factory 82." So no matter how you cheat, we can only admit that we are unlucky. ”

"I didn't mean that, if Mr. Tang was willing to think like this, I couldn't help it. Fan Chaodong said.

Tang Zifeng stared at Fan Chaodong and asked seriously, "Director Fan, are you really not going to solve this problem?"

"I can't help it. Fan Chaodong said coldly.

"If that's the case, then I won't say anything. Tang Zifeng said, "Don't hide it, I came to Factory 82 this time, and I didn't expect to be able to solve the problem, but it was just a routine." I talked to the two factory directors, and it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. If you feel that you are a military industrial enterprise, and you can do whatever you want under the banner of doing things for the country, then you can continue to do so.

"PATEO has lifted the restrictions on machine tools for you, and you have foreigners as backers, and you don't care about our domestic machine tool companies, which is normal. But I want to remind you that foreigners are unreliable, and it is our domestic enterprises that can provide you with support in the end.

"If you don't talk about honesty now, we will suffer a loss, and we will admit it. But what about next time? Do you really think foreigners will always be able to provide you with state-of-the-art equipment?"

"What Mr. Tang means is that you will no longer cooperate with us from now on? I still don't believe it, if Butcher Zhang dies, will we eat mixed pigs?" Fan Chaodong choked.

Tang Zifeng laughed: "Without Butcher Zhang, naturally there will be Butcher Li." But if your reputation for not being honest spreads, will Butcher Li be willing to cooperate with you? I can say that what you offended this time is not a Tengji group, nor our Linji Group, but the entire Chinese machine tool industry. Without China's machine tool industry, how far can you go, I don't believe that you can always rely on foreign equipment to build missiles. ”

"What a big breath!" Fan Chaodong said, "Listening to what Mr. Tang means, is he planning to unite all local machine tool companies and no longer provide us with equipment?"

"You don't need me to unite, as long as this matter spreads, I'm afraid no company will dare to cooperate with you. ”

"Really? Then I'll wait and see. ”

"It's good to go, don't send it. ”

Tang Zifeng stood up, pointed to the door with his hand, and then turned around and went back to the back room, which is the meaning of the eviction order.

Fan Chaodong was so angry that he wanted to drop something, but he searched around with his eyes, only to find that the other party hadn't even poured them a cup of tea, so he couldn't find anything in front of him. He stood up suddenly, stamped his foot hatefully, and said, "Let's go!"

Xiong Kai silently sent several people from Factory 82 out of the room, and then called Zheng Huan, who lived in the next room, to return to Tang Zifeng's room together. Tang Zifeng had already come out of the back room at this time and was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. He beckoned the two of them to sit down and said, "As expected, Factory 82 doesn't want to talk to us at all." ”

"They have their point, too. Zheng Huan sighed and said, "I have talked to Ke Guoqiang in the past, and I think the reason he said also has some truth. They are military-industrial enterprises, and they produce missiles with very high quality requirements, so the requirements for production equipment are also very strict.

"In the past, PATEO embargoed them, and they couldn't buy PATEO machine tools, so they had to settle for the next best thing and find us to develop machine tools. Compared with PATEO's machine tools, there is indeed a gap. As a military enterprise, Factory 82 selects better equipment, which is also a responsible attitude towards the country. At this point, we really can't find fault with them. ”

"You're right. Tang Zifeng nodded. He is not a person who is self-willed, so how can he not understand that the approach of Factory 82 is reasonable.

PATEO's machine tools are better performing, and the products produced are more reliable. If the 82 factory purchases a batch of machine tools with poor performance to process the missile fuel tank because it can't afford to move the machine, it will actually leave a hidden danger for national defense. This kind of hidden danger may cause heavy losses at a critical time, and neither Fan Chaodong nor Tang Zifeng can afford such a responsibility.

"What we hope is that the 82 factory, or the Commission of Science and Technology, can compensate for our R&D expenses. Our request is also reasonable. If they can break the contract at will and make us suffer losses because of the lifting of restrictions abroad, who will be willing to develop equipment for the military industry in the future?" Zheng Huan continued.

Tang Zifeng said: "This is the crux of the matter. I want to find 82 factory to be more serious, and it is also because of this. To put it mildly, this time, Teng Ji lost 40 million, and we can still afford this loss. But the bad impact of this incident is definitely not something that can be measured by 40 million losses.

"In the future, if the military industry department asks us to develop new equipment, should we accept it or not? Other enterprises know such things, what will their attitude towards the research and development requirements of the military industry department?

"We came to the 82 factory this time to discuss the law, in fact, in order to eliminate hidden dangers in the future. The people of Factory 82 don't understand this truth, and I think the leaders of the Science and Technology Commission will understand. ”

"So, what is Mr. Tang's next step to talk to the Science and Technology Commission about this matter?" asked Zheng Huan.

Tang Zifeng said: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, this matter is a request made by the Science and Technology Commission to President Xie, so I first have to go to Mr. Xie to settle the account." ”

Zheng Huan said with a smile: "If you look for Mr. Xie to settle accounts, you dare to say it, Mr. Tang." We also discussed it in the company, saying that this matter should be solved by Mr. Xie, but no one dared to go to Mr. Xie. ”
