Mr. Tang, there are a total of 8 factory leaders in our factory, all of whom are here, now you should be satisfied, right?"

Fan Chaodong walked up to Tang Zifeng and said coldly.

Although under pressure, he had to call all the factory leaders to the capital to meet Tang Zifeng's requirements, but he couldn't do it anyway if he wanted him to nod to Tang Zifeng and pretend to be enthusiastic.

Tang Zifeng went to Factory 82, Fan Chaodong did not fulfill the friendship of the landlord, this is where he is at fault, if he does not remedy it, everyone will blame him. Now he called the leaders of the whole factory over and apologized to Tang Zifeng for drinking, this is something that everyone sees, if Tang Zifeng picks the gift again, the people who eat melons should stand on his side and start to condemn Tang Zifeng.

Chinese people have always been reasonable in doing things, and they are upright and strong. In Fan Chaodong, he felt that his qi was very strong.

"Is it a total of 8?" Tang Zifeng didn't seem to perceive Fan Chaodong's hostility, he grinned and said, "I'm not good at math, why don't you let me count first......

As he spoke, he really raised his finger and began to count, and there were words in his mouth: "One, two, three......"

"Tang Zifeng, don't deceive people too much!"

Tang Zifeng's behavior successfully angered Fan Chaodong, and he picked up a plate from the table and slammed it on the ground.

There was a crisp "pop", the saucer broke into more than a dozen petals, and the fragments flew out far away. The people in the private room were still whispering, but at this time, they all stopped talking and turned their eyes to this side.

"Yo, you see, he's in a hurry. Tang Zifeng didn't feel any sense of apology for doing something wrong, and he was still smiling. He teased Xiong Kai, turned his head again, looked at Fan Chaodong and said, "Director Fan, why are you doing this? You said that your factory leaders have arrived, and it's not wrong for me to count them, right? Why do you think you're so angry?"

"Mr. Tang, we are all for work, so we don't have to be so rash, right?" Zhong Xu, who was invited to come as an intermediary, walked over and said to Tang Zifeng with a hesitant face.

Tang Zifeng demanded that all the factory leaders of Factory 82 must be present before he was willing to come to the banquet, which was undoubtedly humiliating Factory 82. But because Factory 82 was at fault first, he did this, which can only be regarded as a little excessive. But now that everyone has arrived, he actually has to count in front of others, this is too domineering, no wonder Fan Chaodong wants to drop the plate, and no one can stand this.

At this time, Zhong Xu felt that he had something to say, so he stood up and protested to Tang Zifeng on behalf of Fan Chaodong.

Tang Zifeng looked at Fan Chaodong, and then at the other leaders of the 82 factory, and saw that everyone was full of righteous indignation, so he smiled faintly and asked, "What, Director Fan and you, think I didn't give you face?"

"What do you say?" Fan Chaodong said with a dark face, "Director Tang, I know you are young. I heard that when you were in the mechanical department in the past, you also relied on your youth, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and you also won the love of several leaders. But don't play this game in front of my old fan, you are also in your 30s, you dare to say that you really don't understand the rules at all?"

"What rules?" Tang Zifeng asked rhetorically, "Do you think that you have been wronged and humiliated when you came to the capital to invite a young man like me to dinner." But Botai slapped you one after another, why don't you feel humiliated? You Director Fan is so capable that you dare to throw dishes in front of me, a young man, but you fell one in front of Botai to show me?

"Together you are insiders in the civil war, and outsiders in the outside war. Shaking his majesty in front of the Chinese people, and pretending to be a grandson when he sees the Germans, this is the rule that your factory director Fan wants to teach me?"

"What are you talking about!" Fan Chaodong was furious, raised his hand and pointed at Tang Zifeng's nose, and shouted, "You try it again!"

"Director Fan, don't get excited!" Zhong Xu hurriedly stopped between the two, for fear that they would fight. The two sides can't talk together, and it doesn't matter if they quarrel, but if they do it, things will not be easy to handle. These two people are counted according to the administrative level, but they have both reached the bureau level, and the two bureau-level cadres meet each other in the restaurant, which is a big event that breaks the sky.

"Director Tang, I don't agree with what you say. There is also a reason for Botai's change of hexagrams, isn't this all caused by Professor Qi's nonsense? Director Fan, they are also for work, so they have to ask Teng Ji to come out to help, do a new technical appraisal, and eliminate the doubts of Botai, how can you say that it is ...... Uh, that's pretty inappropriate. ”

When Zhong Xu's words came to his mouth, he still swallowed back the phrase "pretending to be a grandson", Nima, this statement is too hurtful.

Tang Zifeng put away the mocking expression just now and said solemnly:

"Director Zhong, haven't you learned a lesson from Botai's change of fortune this time? If we can't make equipment, they will embargo it. When we make it, they lift the embargo right away.

"This time, just because of a rumor, people dare to toss you again and force you to prove yourself. Maybe Director Fan is used to being bullied by foreigners, and he doesn't feel any humiliation in this matter. Okay, I'll let them experience what it means to be controlled by others.

"To put it mildly, they are now a little wronged in front of me Tang Zifeng in order to let Teng Ji help, and they only lose the face of their 82 factory. But if there is no precision milling machine developed by Tengji, in order to ask Botai to lift the ban, they will lose the face of 1.3 billion Chinese.

"I want to ask Director Zhong and Director Fan, is the face of the thousands of people in your 82 factory worth anything, or is the face of 1.3 billion Chinese worth it?"

"This ......" Zhong Xu was dumb all of a sudden, Tang Zifeng pulled this matter to such a height, he really couldn't refute it.

Yes, Fan Chaodong ran over to invite Tang Zifeng to have a meal, and he felt that he had suffered great humiliation. But Botai casually said an embargo, and as soon as the 82 factory cadres jumped up and down, proposed to conduct another product appraisal, and asked the German side to send someone to supervise, isn't this a humiliation?

Which is more embarrassing to lose face in front of one's own people or to lose face in front of foreigners?

I have to say that in the minds of some people, it doesn't matter if they bow their heads to foreigners, because they have always felt that foreigners are more noble than themselves. But when they return to China and meet their compatriots, they have to put on a show, show off their rank, and value face above everything.

Fan Chaodong and Zhong Xu and others are actually not the kind of people who worship foreigners, on the contrary, they often talk about "fighting for the Chinese" and so on. But when it comes to actual action, they unconsciously follow the crowd, feeling that it is right to ask foreigners, and it seems shameless to ask for their own people.

Boteo backtracked, and they didn't think it was Boteo's fault. On the contrary, Teng Ji chased them for R&D funds, which made them feel that it was unreasonable.

It's a collective unconscious behavior, and when no one says it, everyone doesn't notice it. Now that Tang Zifeng suddenly pierced this layer of window paper, the whole room was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Tang, this is also something that can't be helped. Ke Guoqiang was the first to break the silence, and he said sneeringly: "Our country's foundation is weak, and its industrial base is not as deep as that of Western countries, which is an objective fact, and it cannot be solved by us shouting a few slogans." At this stage, we do need PATEO's equipment, so although we know that PATEO's approach is unreasonable, we can only endure it, isn't it?"

"How long does Director Ke plan to endure it?" asked Tang Zifeng.

"Of course it'......" Ke Guoqiang subconsciously wanted to give an answer, but halfway through speaking, he found that he couldn't continue.

Tang Zifeng was unforgiving, and said eloquently:

"The reason why PATEO lifted the embargo on milling machines before was because we had developed a milling machine with the same performance. If we want to raise our heads in front of foreigners, we must have our own strength.

"You are the military industry, and you produce advanced weapons and equipment that can make China politically upright and free from foreign blackmail. We are an equipment manufacturing department, and if we develop advanced machinery and equipment, we can make China stand tall economically and technologically, and not be afraid of other people's technological blockades.

"China can't do without advanced missiles, and China can't do without advanced milling machines. Your department is important, and so is ours. To this day, don't you all understand this?"

"Mr. Tang, I admit that you are also very important. This time, our Science and Technology Commission did not think about it well and did not take into account the research and development expenses you spended. I think we can learn the lessons of this time and improve the mechanism in future cooperation to avoid the same thing happening again. Zhong Xu said stubbornly.

Tang Zifeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, Director Zhong is saying, forget about this time?"

"......" Zhong Xu was speechless.

He really wanted to say that this time the matter was over, but when Tang Zifeng asked him like this, could he still answer like this?

Tang Zifeng laughed: "Director Zhong, if you have this attitude, then let's not eat today's meal." To be honest, with the strength of Linji Group, we can digest the tens of millions of R&D expenses ourselves, I don't dare to say anything else, but I'm really not bad for money.

"If you think that PATEO slapped you hard enough this time, or even think that it is your honor to be slapped by PATEO, then you can play it yourself. Without the support of our equipment manufacturing industry, you will have more such honors in the future. ”

"Mr. Tang, what do you mean?" asked Zhong Xu.

Tang Zifeng said: "It's very simple, make up for the dead, and establish a cooperation mechanism between our two sides on this matter." You think PATEO's equipment is better than Tengji, and you are willing to choose PATEO's equipment, we understand. But at the same time, the research and development of Tengji must not stop.

"The machine tool we developed is your spare tire. If PATEO dares to cut off the supply, you can still produce with Tengji's equipment, which is the confidence of you and PATEO. Isn't it nice that the two of us should join hands and slap the Germans in the face together, and watch PATEO kneel on the ground and beg you to buy equipment?"
