Fan Chaodong had a fight with Tang Zifeng, and he almost wanted to drop a cup to show his anger. After returning to the factory for a few days, he was still angry, and several subordinates were reprimanded by him for a little mistake, which can be regarded as suffering this unwarranted disaster on behalf of Tang Zifeng.

Time is the best healing medicine, and after a few days, Fan Chaodong's injured heart will slowly recover. He began to say in front of Ke Guoqiang and Song Yajing that it was not worth getting angry with a hairy child like Tang Zifeng, and the more arrogant the other party was, the more it showed that they were weak.

The quality of Tengji's equipment is not as good as that of the Germans, can you complain about the 82 factory?

"Will they go to the Commission of Science and Technology to file a complaint?" Ke Guoqiang reminded.

"Sue me!" Fan Chaodong didn't care, "Teng Ji's gang has already gone to the Science and Technology Commission to make trouble, and Director Zhong has already given them an answer." If the surnamed Tang goes again, it's just to let Lao Zhong explain it to him again, what else?"

"I've inquired, this Tang Zi [new] style, I heard that Xu Lao is a person who values him very much. Ke Guoqiang said.

"Old Xu......" Fan Chaodong sank slightly, and said: "If Xu Lao speaks, we are really a little embarrassed to save face, but Xu Lao is the elder of our military industrial system." When the time comes, we will have to apologize to Teng Ji and symbolically compensate them for a little R&D funds. Xu Lao's face must be worth one or two million. ”

"If it's one or two million, I'm afraid Tang Zifeng won't be embarrassed to ask Xu Lao to come forward, right?" Ke Guoqiang said, "Linji Group is a big enterprise, and there is really no shortage of these two million." Xu Lao's face, that is one time less than once, Tang Zifeng will not be confused. ”

"I wish he couldn't carry it, so we know how important he is. Now like this...... , alas, there are really some that are not in decline. Fan Chaodong sighed and said what was in his heart.

Fan Chaodong said that Tang Zifeng was a hairy child, but he didn't dare to despise this person too much in his heart. It is impossible for a person who can be in a high position at such a young age not to have any ability. Tang Zifeng's performance that day did not conform to the rules of the system, which made Fan Chaodong feel even more suspicious, what is the meaning of the other party's actions?

"Director Fan, Director Fan, something happened, something happened!"

Just when Fan Chaodong was full of doubts, Yao Xiyuan, the director of production, broke into his office out of breath and handed him a fax paper that was still warm in front of him.

"What is this?"

Fan Chaodong was stunned, the fax paper was all printed in German, and he couldn't recognize a word. Instinctively, he guessed that the fax should be related to PATEO, because the only German agency related to Factory 82 recently was PATEO. Looking at Yao Xiyuan's anxious expression, could it be that something was wrong with PATEO?

PATEO ...... PATEO informed us that the EU said it would re-examine the special precision milling machines they promised to export to us, saying that the export of such milling machines could improve the level of China's military equipment, and the EU was likely to veto the cooperation. Yao Xiyuan said.

His words were intermittent, as if he couldn't get up in one breath, among them, in addition to the reason for running too fast just now, the bigger reason was that the news was too shocking, and he couldn't bear it.

"What!

Fan Chaodong jumped up from the big swivel chair in a flash, stared at Yao Xiyuan, and asked sharply, "You read it right!"

"No, I read it three times, and I asked Xiao Zhang to read it too, and he confirmed that this fax is what it means. Yao Xiyuan said.

Yao Xiyuan knows German, and Xiao Zhang he said is a master from a prestigious school who has just been assigned, and his German level is very high. Yao Xiyuan has seen it himself, and let Xiao Zhang read it again, and the possibility of misunderstanding the meaning is very small.

"How is this possible, didn't PATEO say that there are no obstacles on the EU's side?" Fan Chaodong shouted.

PATEO has agreed to sell special precision milling machines to Factory 82, but so far it has only stayed at the contract stage. Factory 82 has to apply for funds and foreign exchange quotas, and then pay advance payments to PATEO, and PATEO will organize production again, and it will take a year and a half to come and go.

Factory 82 dared to refuse Tengji's milling machine because they had signed a purchase contract with PATEO, and both parties had stamped and signed, which would not change. However, there is also an exemption clause in the contract, that is, in the event of force majeure, one party can declare the contract void.

The restrictions of the European Union are a type of force majeure. If the EU insists on refusing to release PATEO's milling machine, PATEO has no choice.

However, before the two sides signed the contract, Factory 82 had repeatedly confirmed with PATEO, and PATEO claimed that they had already done the work of the EU, and it was only a matter of time before the EU signed and released. The reason why the EU may ban the export of milling machines is only due to safety considerations, but what is the technical level of this precision milling machine and whether the embargo can hinder the development of China's military industry, this matter can only be clearly explained by PATEO.

PATEO submitted evidence to the EU, claiming that the Chinese had developed machine tools with similar performance, and the embargo would not work for China's military industry, and the EU would naturally no longer insist on it.

These are all things that PATEO said to Factory 82, how did things change so much in a few days.

"As for PATEO, did you say what the reason is?" asked Fan Chaodong.

Yao Xiyuan said: "The fax didn't say it, it just said that the EU would re-examine it." However, the wording of the fax was very polite, as if it were non-negotiable. ”

"You should contact Mr. Merce at once and ask what is going on. Fan Chaodong ordered.

The next day, the leaders of Factory 82 were like cats in February and August, scratching their ears and cheeks, and they couldn't be quiet for a moment. Yao Xiyuan and a few people kept calling Germany to inquire about the news. I don't know if they didn't find the right person, or if the other party deliberately snubbed and tossed for a day and night, and Factory 82 finally got a news that was still not very accurate:

PATEO learned that the information provided to them by the 82 factory was suspected of falsification, and the news that Chinese machine tool companies had developed special precision milling machines was untrue, and the premise of PATEO to export special precision milling machines to China was not established, so it submitted an application to the European Union to suspend exports.

"What, fake?"

Hearing this completely unexpected news, the people of Factory 82 were dumbfounded. What I submitted to PATEO is clearly the technical information of Tengji. The prototype of the milling machine developed by Tengji, Ke Guoqiang and Yao Xiyuan have been identified on the spot, and the performance indicators are completely consistent with the technical data, why is the news untrue?

"Old Yao, you ask Merce, ask them where the news came from, this is completely fake news!" Fan Chaodong said with a jump on his feet.

Merce is the sales specialist of PATEO, who is responsible for the sales of precision machine tools, and the technical information of Teng Ji was first handed to the senior management of PATEO through his hand. Yao Xiyuan called him and asked euphemistically about the reason for the change in this matter, and Merce's unhappy stomach can also be felt across the ocean:

"Yao, you are violating business integrity by doing this, and your actions have caused me to be severely criticized in the company. ”

"I'm sorry for the trouble you, Mr. Merth. Yao Xiyuan quickly apologized, and then said: "However, Mr. Moth, the information we asked you to submit is completely true. Tengji's newly developed precision milling machine, I personally went to participate in the appraisal, if you need, I can fax the non-confidential part of the appraisal materials to you, you can understand at a glance. ”

"No, no, Mr. Yao, the senior management of our company no longer believes the appraisal report from China, they say that the Chinese are the best at counterfeiting, and your so-called appraisal is just a means to deceive us into deregulation." On this point, our technical department has also confirmed it, they believe that your Chinese machine tool enterprises, it is impossible to break through the design and manufacturing technology of special precision milling machines in a short time. Merce said.

"But you didn't say that last time. Yao Xiyuan was anxious.

The military industry department releases information to the outside world, of course, whether it is true or false, and this is also for the sake of secrecy. But this time, Factory 82 really didn't lie, and Tengji's technology was also true, why didn't people believe it.

"Mr. Merce, I remember you said that your technical department evaluated the technical information we submitted, thinking that we have mastered such technology, and now you have come to the opposite conclusion, what happened in the middle?" asked Yao Xiyuan.

You know, PATEO is not the kind of company that is easy to be fooled. Factory 82 submitted to them the technical information of the milling machine of Tengji, and it was impossible for them not to do some analysis. The so-called technology seems to be very mysterious to laymen, but for connoisseurs, it is just a question of whether a layer of window paper has been pierced.

Although some details are confidential, PATEO's technicians know at a glance that Tengji has found the right path, and it is not a problem to manufacture this precision milling machine with China's industrial strength.

A conclusion has been reached before, and now a contrary conclusion has been drawn, and something else must have happened in the middle, which is what Factory 82 must ask to understand.

"I'm sorry, we have our information channels, and we can't disclose this information to you. What's more, it was our company's top management who came to this conclusion, and I don't know why they suddenly re-evaluated your milling machine technology. Merce replied coldly.

"Check! We must investigate thoroughly to see which bastard is talking nonsense and causing us so much trouble. ”

Fan Chaodong slapped the table loudly and issued a chase and kill order.
