"So, what does Mr. Frolov have in mind when he comes to our Linji Group this time?"

After listening to Zhao Xinggen's introduction, Tang Zifeng asked.

"I will leave Mr. Frolov to speak of this. Zhao Xinggen gestured with his hand and said.

The translator translated this to Frolov, who nodded to Tang Zifeng and said, "Dear Mr. Tang, this time I asked Mr. Zhao to introduce me to your company, completely for the traditional friendship between us and your company. I heard Mr. Zhao say that the Tengcun Machine Tool Factory, where my father once worked, is now a subsidiary of your company, which shows that there is a deep relationship between our two companies. We, at the Petrov Machine-Building Plant, would like to renew this friendship with your company and become the closest comrades. ”

"That's exactly what we want. Tang Zifeng replied with a smile, but at the same time snorted disdainfully in his heart:

I believe you're a ghost!

If Frolov had met Tang Zifeng by chance at some meeting and said the above words, Tang Zifeng might still believe one or two. But this old gentleman took two entourages and made a special trip to Linji Group, just to talk about the friendship of his father with the leaders of Linji Group, which is too much force.

Zhao Xinggen said that this Frolov is a scheming person, and it is very coincidental that Tang Zifeng is also a very scheming person. When two old foxes come together, who can fool whom?

"Our Petrov Machine Tool Factory is a veteran machine tool factory with a history of 100 years, especially in CNC technology, with a deep accumulation. As early as the Soviet Union, our factory has developed more than 40 kinds of CNC machine tools, and the products have been sold to more than 10 countries in Europe, and have also been sold to China in large quantities.

"After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation attached great importance to the development of the machine tool industry, and successively developed the Federal Program for the State Protection of the Machine Tool Industry (1993-1998) and the State Strategy for the Development of the Machine Tool and Tool Manufacturing Industry in Russia for the Period Up to 2005, and the Petrov Machine Tool Plant received financial support for these projects, developing nearly 20 models of new machine tools, including some new concept machine tools for the 21st century.

"It can be said that our current level of CNC machine tools is in a leading position in the world, especially in terms of heavy machine tools, which is not inferior to Germany and Japan.

"Due to the impact of domestic labor shortages, we have certain deficiencies in the manufacture of machine tool components, which is the main reason why we want to seek cooperation with Chinese comrades. ”

Frolov spoke eloquently, leaving little time for the translator. The little translator was busy recording the main points of his speech on paper, and it was not until he finished his long speech that the little translator retold what he said in Chinese to a group of Chinese.

"You didn't omit anything from your translation, right?" Tang Zifeng listened to the little translator's words, and he felt tired for the little translator, so he couldn't help but ask.

"No, Mr. Tang, I have translated the main content of what he said. Some of it was his spoken language, which was so messy that I didn't write it all down. The little translator said.

"It's not easy for Xiao Liu. Qin Zhongnian interceded with the little translator on the side. No way, Russian is now an absolutely small language in China, especially in a southern city like Linhe, it is really not easy to find someone who understands Russian. This little translator named Liu Yan was found by Qin Zhongnian with great difficulty, and it is indeed very good to be able to translate Frolov's words to this point.

"We really don't know about the situation in Russia. Tang Zifeng said to Qin Zhongnian, "Chief Engineer Qin, Lao Fu just said that their CNC technology level is in the leading position in the world, is this reliable?"

Qin Zhongnian frowned and said, "I really don't know what he said at first glance. At that time in the Soviet Union, we tracked the technical status of their CNC machine tools, and in general, they were better than us, and compared with Western countries, there was still a considerable gap. However, the Russians have a very high level of mathematics, and they may really have an advantage in CNC machine tools, and I really haven't paid attention to any progress over the years. ”

"Do you need math to build machine tools?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Qin Zhongnian's face was a little dark: "Zifeng, how can you say such layman's words." Our technical department is calculating data all day long, how can we not need mathematics?"

Tang Zifeng said: "Lao Qin, I don't mean that, I mean to say, do you need that kind of genius mathematics to do machine tools? Ordinary calculations, of course I know, my daughter-in-law often writes a lot of mathematical formulas like ghosts." ”

Qin Zhongnian was really a little weak to complain about Tang Zifeng, he said: "The development of machine tools will ultimately fall on mathematics. A good mathematician can solve many problems in machine tool design, which is very helpful for machine tool development. ”

"Uh-huh, I didn't ask that. Tang Zifeng hurriedly diverted the topic and asked, "What kind of federal outline did he just say, and what kind of national strategy, is it true?"

"This should be true. Qin Zhongnian said, "I have seen reports in the past, and the Russian government still attaches great importance to the development of the machine tool industry." ”

"I see. Tang Zifeng nodded, then turned to Frolov and said, "Mr. Frolov, you just said that you are seeking cooperation with Chinese comrades, how do you plan to cooperate?"

"We want to be able to cooperate with a large company like Linji Group and give full play to our respective strengths," Frolov said. You manufacture the machine entity, we are responsible for the installation of the CNC system, and we are responsible for the sales in the European market, in this regard, we have some traditional channels, and there is no problem with the sales at all. ”

Tang Zifeng turned his head and asked Zhao Xinggen: "Mr. Zhao, didn't you say that Lao Fu has been buying your optical machine, what's the matter, he wants to get rid of you now and purchase it from us instead?"

Zhao Xinggen made a bitter face and said: "Frolov said that the quality of the optical machine we produce is not good, and we can only provide light machine tools, not heavy machine tools. They will continue to cooperate with us in the future, purchase some of our machine tools, assemble them into CNC machines, and sell them to some countries in Eastern Europe.

"As for what he wants to cooperate with Linji, I think it should be high-end products, as well as heavy-duty machine tool products. You know, in terms of heavy machine tools, our strength cannot be compared with the temporary machine. ”

"We don't have enough heavy machine tools ourselves, so how can we sell them any surplus?" Tang Zifeng said, "Light machines don't make money." If it is a large road goods, we can finally go in batches, which has a cost advantage. Heavy machines are all made in one piece, and unless they can afford to pay a high price, why should we sell them to them?"

When he said this, he said it to the people on his own side. The other party is three Russians, and he doesn't have to worry about these words being heard by the other party. Translator Liu Yan's Russian level is average, but her emotional intelligence is quite high, she knows which words to translate and which words do not need to be translated, and she can even make up a lie casually to deceive the other party when Frolov asks.

Zhang Jianyang said in a low voice: "Mr. Tang, I think that since the other party is here, we might as well talk to them to see if there is any opportunity." They said that there are some channels in Europe, if we can really sell our machine tools to Europe, even if it is just a light machine, it can also indirectly give us an advertisement, compared to how much money you make, the value of this advertisement is also quite large. ”

"You're right. Tang Zifeng said, "We are going to explore the European market in the future, and it is also a good thing to use their platform to build momentum now." Otherwise, I will agree first, and then you and Lao Han will talk to them in detail and implement some details. If it's really good for us, then it's okay to work with them. ”

"Yes, since Mr. Frolov came to the door in person, we should still accept the kindness of the other party. In terms of cooperation, we try to pursue a win-win situation. Han Weichang responded.

The two generals under his command were in favor, and Tang Zifeng was as good as he could, and he said to Frolov: "Mr. Frolov, we have just discussed, and we are very interested in your request for cooperation. However, the specific details of the cooperation may have to be further negotiated. We will arrange for Mr. Zhang and Mr. Han to connect with you, what do you think?"

"Very happy!" Frolov showed a look of ecstasy, only a little exaggerated, and said: "Mr. Tang, if you don't mind, I would like to be able to visit your production process in order to have a more accurate assessment of your technical strength, which is very important for our cooperation."

"In addition, Jacob is an excellent engineer in our factory, and he would like to have some technical exchanges with the engineers of your company, I don't know if Mr. Tang can agree. ”

Tang Zifeng threw an inquiring look at Qin Zhongnian, Qin Zhongnian nodded and said, "This is no problem, we also want to have some technical exchanges with our Russian counterparts." It's just that we only have one Russian interpreter at the moment, and if you want to go your separate ways, we're afraid it will be difficult for us to find another interpreter to cooperate. ”

"If Mr. Qin doesn't mind, we can communicate in English. Jacob interjected. When he said this, he was in English, and although it sounded a little strange, it didn't interfere with communication.

Qin Zhongnian's English level is quite high, and when he heard that he also changed to English, he said happily: "If that's the case, there won't be any problems." Our engineers speak English very well and should be able to communicate well with Mr. Jacob. ”

"Let's settle it down like this. Tang Zifeng said, "A few Russian friends, we can arrange accommodation for you, so please stay here for a few more days." As for now, I just received a text message that the reception banquet prepared for you by our group office has been arranged, so let's go to the restaurant to eat. ”

Please grow the tassel on the day
