Chapter 415: Organize another appraisal
Tang Zifeng hugged a child who didn't cry, refreshed, waiting to see the excitement, but the 82 factory was already jumping on its back.
For several days, the relevant departments of Factory 82 were communicating with PATEO, repeatedly emphasizing that the information they had submitted to PATEO was not falsified, and the precision milling machine that Teng Machinery had just passed the appraisal had indeed reached the level of similar equipment in the world.
Regarding Qi Muden's blog post, Factory 82 also explained, saying that Qi Muden was just an economics professor and did not know much about industrial production, and it was just hearsay and some unreasonable brain supplements that he wrote such an article. Regarding the views in the article, Factory 82 completely disagrees, and hopes that PATEO will not believe it either.
But credit is a thing that is difficult to establish, but easy to destroy. PATEO became suspicious of Factory 82, which could not be eliminated by some explanations from the other party. For PATEO, the sale of 200 precision milling machines is naturally a very important thing, but if it violates the rules of the European Union, it will be more than worth the loss.
After a few days of hard work, PATEO's attitude finally relaxed. They made a request to Factory 82 that in order to resume the procurement of milling machines, Factory 82 must produce stronger evidence that the embargo on such milling machines was no longer necessary.
"It's easy. Fan Chaodong slapped his chest loudly, but unfortunately the two sides were contacted by email, and his performance was not seen by the other party at all.
"We can organize another technical appraisal and ask PATEO to send engineers. It's a mule or a horse, why don't you just pull it out and walk around?" said Fan Chaodong.
"But ......," Yao Xiyuan, director of production, wanted to say but stopped.
"But what? please send someone over, the cost will be covered by us, this is also a helpless thing, who let the surname Qi write blindly!"
Speaking of Qi Mudeng, Fan Chaodong was angry, and he couldn't wait to send some blades or something to this guy.
Yao Xiyuan smiled bitterly: "Director Fan, I'm not talking about the cost. I mean, if you want to organize another technical appraisal, you have to agree to Tengji......"
"Why didn't Teng Ji agree?" Fan Chaodong didn't think about it, blurted out a sentence, and was stunned after speaking, isn't it, Teng Ji's side, maybe it's really hard to speak.
The manufacturer has always supported this kind of thing of product technical appraisal, because only after passing the appraisal can the manufacturer finalize the product and start selling. In the past, some manufacturers not only took the initiative to carry out product appraisal in order to allow Factory 82 to purchase their equipment, but also paid all the accommodation expenses of the personnel involved in the appraisal in Factory 82.
It is precisely because of this experience that Fan Chaodong feels that Teng Ji has no reason not to agree to another product appraisal. But as soon as the words came out, he reacted, and the situation this time was really different from the past. The purpose of Factory 82's proposal to conduct another product appraisal is to prove to PATEO that Tengji has mastered the manufacturing technology of special precision milling machines, and the purpose of proving this is to enable PATEO to lift the embargo on milling machines in China.
To put it more bluntly, in this appraisal, Teng Ji is completely making wedding dresses for others, and the bride is still his rival in love, how cheap does Teng Ji have to be before he agrees to do this?
"This matter, it is estimated that the Commission of Science and Technology will have to invite Mr. Xie of the Electromechanical Corporation, if Mr. Xie speaks, it is inconvenient for Teng Ji to refuse. We are doing this for the cause of national defense, and I believe that Xie will always be able to fully understand us. Fan Chaodong said, there was still some unsteadiness in his tone.
Last time, Factory 82 asked Tengji to help develop a special precision milling machine, which was to ask Xie Tiancheng to be a middleman. As a result, Teng Ji developed the milling machine, but the 82 factory failed to make an appointment, which is equivalent to Xie Tiancheng being pitted. After the incident, Teng Ji complained everywhere, and Xie Tiancheng also went to the Science and Technology Commission twice, reported the situation to the leaders of the Science and Technology Commission, and expressed strong dissatisfaction.
Because Xie Tiancheng was reasonable, the leaders of the Science and Technology Commission had to appease Xie Tiancheng with kind words, and asked Zhong Xu to bring verbal criticism to the 82 factory, roughly saying that the 82 factory's handling of this matter was too hasty, which caused some adverse effects.
Now that the aftermath of the matter has not passed, Factory 82 wants to ask Xie Tiancheng to come forward to greet Teng Ji, can Xie Tiancheng agree?
At this point, Fan Chaodong could only hold the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and made a report to the Science and Technology Commission, claiming that in order to promote the decision of PATEO to cancel the embargo on milling machines, it was necessary to conduct another product technical appraisal in Tengji, and the Germans should be invited to participate. As for how to get Teng Ji to agree to carry out this technical appraisal, it will trouble the leaders of the Science and Industry Commission to bother more.
"The last incident greatly hurt the feelings of all the cadres and workers of Tengji, and now you propose to conduct another technical appraisal, and the purpose is to persuade the Germans to agree to sell you precision milling machines, this sentence, I can't open my mouth. ”
Facing Fan Chaodong and Zhong Xu, who came to the door for help, Xie Tiancheng replied in a cold tone.
"Mr. Xie, what happened last time was indeed our fault, and we will do a deep examination to you. However, now is the time to burn the eyebrows, and if we can't dispel the concerns of PATEO, they will not sell us precision milling machines, which will affect our delivery of equipment to the troops on time, and the consequences will be very serious.
"Therefore, we still ask Mr. Xie to say hello to Teng Ji for the sake of national defense construction. In fact, there is not much to do in Tengji, that is, to take out the machine tool that was identified last time and identify it again, and we can bear all the costs required. Zhong Xu begged in a low voice.
Xie Tiancheng frowned and said: "PATEO does not sell machine tools to you, you can purchase Tengji, after all, Tengji's products have also been appraised, and the performance is fully qualified." In the past, you said that PATEO's equipment was better and more efficient, so we had nothing to say about rejecting Tengji's equipment. Now that Botai has changed his mind, isn't it logical for you to go back and buy Tengji's equipment?"
"This ......" Fan Chaodong stood up.
"Mr. Xie, Tengji's machine tool can indeed be used, but compared with PATEO's machine tool, there are still some shortcomings. What our director means is that it is better to fight for it again, and if we can persuade PATEO to sell machine tools to us, it will be better to ensure the quality ......of military products," Zhong Xu said.
"That's the case...... "Xie Tiancheng can't shirk it anymore." Before Fan Chaodong and Zhong Xu came to the Electromechanical Corporation, the leaders of the Science and Technology Industry Commission called Xie Tiancheng, and in addition to apologizing, he asked Xie Tiancheng to focus on the overall situation and be sure to help the 82 factory.
In handling affairs within the system, it is still necessary to stress some basic principles. In ordinary matters, everyone can fight each other for the sake of departmental interests, but when it comes to issues of principle such as national security, it is not enough to make a name for themselves.
"Well, I'll call Teng Ji and tell them about the situation. Tengji's comrades have a lot of opinions on this matter, and I have to do their work first. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more troublesome if a few comrades were in a bad mood and did something when the appraisal came? As you said, the Germans would be invited to participate in the appraisal, and if something unpleasant happens, it will affect our country's international image. Xie Tiancheng said.
How does this relate to the country's international image?
Fan Chaodong and Zhong Xu were alpacas running wildly in their hearts, but they couldn't refute it. They understood that what Xie Tiancheng wanted to say was not an issue of international image, but a hint that if Teng Ji was dissatisfied, it was entirely possible to make some fame at the appraisal meeting.
They hope that Tengji can show his strength in front of PATEO's technicians to prove that Tengji has fully mastered the manufacturing technology of special precision milling machines, but Tengji can completely do the opposite and deliberately mess things up, so that PATEO feels that Tengji's technology is nothing more than that, so as to strengthen the determination to embargo machine tools to China.
For Xie Tiancheng, the 82 factory can invite the leaders of the Science and Technology Commission to speak, and at Xie Tiancheng's level, it will not be angry about the issue of principle. But the situation on Tengji's side is different, those cadres and workers do not have such a high consciousness, in case someone does something irrational, even if they can be punished afterwards, the consequences are irreparable.
"So, Mr. Xie, when are you going to say hello to Teng Ji?" Zhong Xu asked.
"Heck, I've been busy these days, and I've had several meetings...... Yes, next week. Xie Tiancheng said.
"No!" Fan Chaodong was about to cry.
It's only Monday today, and if you push it to next week, that's seven days. No, Xie Tiancheng only said that it was next week, and he didn't say that it must be next Monday, right? If he meant next Friday, it would be more than ten days.
Speaking of which, the purchase of a batch of equipment is not so fast, and it is not uncommon for it to drag on for a year or two. But Fan Chaodong knows a word, which is called long nights and dreams. It will drag on for more than ten days here, and another ten days in other places, and once it comes and goes, it may drag on for a few months. The factory is still waiting for the equipment to be in place to start production, can he afford it?
What's more, the matter of re-conducting the technical appraisal was also discussed with PATEO with great difficulty, if an appraisal was delayed for a month, would PATEO accept it?
"Mr. Xie, this matter is very urgent, you see, can you take time out of your busy schedule to make a phone call and talk to Teng Ji. What to do, we can discuss it with Teng Ji again, so we won't trouble you. Fan Chaodong said.
"Oh, is it just a phone call?" Xie Tiancheng thought about it, "If it's just a phone call, I'm afraid that the comrades over there won't be able to understand it." It will take some time to get through their work. In this case, the two of you will go back first, and wait for my news, what do you think?"
