Chapter 468: Mo Jingrong's ultimatum
He Ji'an and Han Weichang took turns to launch a marketing offensive against Liu Zhifeng, but what made Liu Zhifeng feel depressed was that both sides resolutely refused to further reduce the price on the original basis, which is exactly what Liu Zhifeng wanted to do the most.
He Ji'an's reason is that the price of Someno's products is unified globally, and it is impossible to destroy the uniformity of prices for the sake of Puqi. He also claimed that Someno's products are mature, the technology is reliable, and the price is extremely conscientious, and there is no reason to fight a price war with those nookies with immature technology.
Han Weichang said that the price of Linji's products is only half of that of Dyeyeye, which is already a small profit, and it is unreasonable to reduce the price again, and Linji has no more profit margin to squeeze. Half of the price advantage is enough for Puqi to make a decision, and Puqi's request to continue to reduce prices is purely a gadfly behavior.
As for the quality of the products, of course, there is no problem at all, and my old Han can use my reputation as a guarantee.
By the way, this is also what makes Liu Zhifeng feel the most unreliable: Han Weichang's reputation......
At the same time, Xu Mao's technical department also completed the technical audit of the temporary multi-station machine tool, and determined that the temporary machine has the ability to produce multi-station machine tools, and the temporary multi-station machine tool is slightly inferior to Dyeno in terms of performance and quality, but the difference is not large.
Speaking from the heart, Xu Mao actually had the mentality of finding fault with the machine to do this audit, but there was no obvious flaw in the machine, and some deficiencies were at best flaws and did not affect the use.
During the internal discussion in the technology department, some people speculated about the intention and asked whether the problem of temporary products should be exaggerated, so that the group can be inclined when making decisions. As a result, a female engineer named Dong Xiao stood up to object, saying that everyone is in technology, and should respect science and not violate their academic conscience. She also said that if the final conclusion of the technical department ignores the facts and refers to the deer as a horse, she will report it to the group leaders, and even to the relevant departments of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
Xu Mao knew that the reason why Dong Xiao dared to raise objections was that she was indeed a relatively fair technician, and second, her roommate Xiao Wenjun when she was a doctoral student was the wife of Tang Zifeng, the general manager of Linji, and she herself could be regarded as an informant of Linji Group ambushed in the technical department of Puqi.
Xu Mao knew that Dong Xiao had something to do with Linji Group, but he couldn't punish Dong Xiao or transfer Dong Xiao from his current position for this reason. Linji is an important equipment supplier of Pudong Motor, and both companies are under the SASAC and belong to brother units.
With the existence of such a two-five boy as Dong Xiao, Xu Mao couldn't do it if he wanted to set up a clever trick, so he could only take a basic and objective audit report and report to Mo Jingrong.
"In other words, the temporary equipment can be used?"
Mo Jingrong only read the summary part, then put down the report and asked Xu Mao.
"If the material provided on the spot is true, then it is. Xu Mao replied cautiously.
"The technology provided by the aircraft should be reliable. Liu Zhifeng said, "How could a township enterprise that is not the kind of township enterprise that will leave with a handful of money provide us with false technical information? If we finally prove that the information they provided is untrue, we can completely complain to the SASAC." Tang Zifeng is still very young and has a bright future, will he use his hat to do this kind of trick?"
"Over there, isn't there a little loosening in the price?" Mo Jingrong asked again.
Liu Zhifeng shook his head: "No." I talked to He Ji'an several times, and he told me that their Japanese manager firmly disagreed with the price reduction, and he was helpless. ”
"Didn't you say that if they don't cut the price, we will have to consider choosing the plane?" asked Mo Jingrong.
Liu Zhifeng said: "I have already said it, and I have also shown him the quotation on the plane." I heard that He Ji'an also contacted Han Weichang in private, but I don't know what he talked about. But I guessed that He Ji'an should have known about the incident, but he gritted his teeth and refused to give in. ”
"Hmph, do you really think we can't build a car without them?" Mo Jingrong said hatefully.
"Mr. Mo, Someno's technology is still more reliable. Xu Mao hurriedly persuaded, listening to Mo Jingrong's meaning, it seemed that he was about to change his mind, which made Xu Mao a little square.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Xu Mao opposes the use of temporary equipment, and there is no selfishness. He just doesn't believe in domestic equipment in his heart, and thinks that imported equipment is more practical to use.
Over the years, PUAC has purchased a lot of domestic machine tools, and there are no major problems in use. But in Xu Mao's view, this is only because these machine tools are relatively simple, belonging to low-end machine tools, foreign machine tool companies disdain to do, so it is okay to choose domestic machine tools.
The multi-station special machine tool is not a simple machining center, but a combination of more than a dozen or dozens of machine tools, which is a high-tech equipment. Let domestic enterprises provide such equipment, Xu Mao really lacks confidence. He is the minister of technology, and he is responsible for the future production of cars, if the production line is full of domestic equipment, Xu Mao always feels that he is walking on the wire rope, trembling.
"I also want to use the equipment of the dyed field, but now that this situation is going to be made, how do you ask me to report to the group office meeting?" Mo Jingrong asked helplessly.
"The technical solution proposed by the temporary machine seems to be feasible. But there is also a fatal problem, that is, so far there are no cases of mature application of multi-station machine tools. There is an unwritten rule in the selection of major equipment that equipment suppliers must have mature application experience, otherwise they will not be considered. Mr. Mo, is it okay to use this reason to report to the group's office meeting?" Xu Mao suggested.
"The transfer machine has a successful application experience. Liu Zhifeng said, "Lao Xu, you have personally visited Yuyuan's Dahe UAV Company. The production line of Dahe UAV company is established by the machine, including a variety of types of multi-station machine tools, and the working mode of some machine tools is basically the same as the machine tool we need. ”
"Most of the Dahe drones are made of aluminum alloy components, while our cars are made of carbon steel, can this be the same thing?" Xu Mao retorted.
Liu Zhifeng said: "This question, the machine has also been answered, they said that the difficulty of multi-station machine tool design is mainly in the coordination of the tool, in this regard, the machine tool for processing aluminum alloy components and the machine tool for processing carbon steel, there is no obvious difference." ”
Xu Mao said: "There is no obvious difference, and there is a difference." I remember He Ji'an said that the vibration intensity of the tool is completely different depending on the material of the machining, which will affect the coordination relationship between the tools. It's like we build a car, a car that drives 100 yards and drives 200 yards, can the requirements for the structure be the same thing?"
"......" Liu Zhifeng ran out of words.
There is a specialization in the industry, and automobile companies are indeed not proficient in machine tools, and even Xu Mao can't say what are the ways in machine tool design, not to mention Liu Zhifeng, who has only opened a machine tool procurement minister. Liu Zhifeng understands that Xu Mao is arguing with strong words, but Mo Jingrong is on Xu Mao's side, what can Liu Zhifeng do?
"Or, Lao Liu, you go and give He Ji'an an an ultimatum and tell him that if Ran Ye insists on not reducing the price, we will choose the machine tool on the spot. You also show this audit report from the technical department to He Ji'an, and let him know that we are not joking. Mo Jingrong finally said.
"Okay......" Liu Zhifeng replied reluctantly, and then asked one more question: "Mr. Mo, if they still don't reduce the price, do we really plan to use the temporary machine tool?"
"This thing...... , you talk to He Ji'an, let's talk about it. Mo Jingrong replied vaguely.
Even after seeing the audit report of the Puqi Technology Department, He Ji'an was still a little skeptical. The technical department of Pudong Automobile is also the department of Pudong Motor, and it is entirely possible that Liu Zhifeng joined forces with the technical department to issue a false report for the price of pressing the dyeing field. However, considering the internal mechanism of state-owned enterprises, He Ji'an had some confidence in the authenticity of this report, and finally loosened his tone, and promised to ask the company for instructions again, and strive to reduce the price of Puqi by a few percentage points.
"Wen Jun, Mr. Tang, don't take it lightly, Xu Mao and Mo Jingrong are bent on using Dyeye's equipment, but they are stuck in the price and can't make a decision for a while. If Someno really lowers the price, you'll have no fun. ”
In a McDonald's in Pujiang, Dong Xiao, the second and fifth boys, said to Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun with a smile. Two three-year-old children sat next to them, happily nibbling on fried chicken wings, one of them was Tang Yanqi and the other was Dong Xiao's child. Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun took their children to Pujiang to play this time, well, at least in the name of the outside world.
"What do these people think in their hearts, the technical indicators are clearly written there, they also went to the Dahe UAV factory to see our equipment, and in the end they would rather spend more money to buy Dyeye's equipment, they are so unconfident in domestic equipment?" Xiao Wenjun said indignantly while picking up a piece of chicken that Tang Yanqi had dropped and stuffing it into his mouth.
"People who have this kind of thought, not only Xu Mao and Mo Jingrong, but also many old people in our technical department have this kind of thought. Dong Xiao said, "In contrast, those of us who are new to the company have more confidence in domestic products, after all, I know that the multi-station machine tool designed by Junjun." Junjun's level is no worse than those foreign engineers. ”
"There's no way, the main reason is that we were too weak in the past, and the impression formed in the minds of the older generation can't really be reversed in three or two days. Tang Zifeng sighed.
