Chapter Ninety-Six: This Can Be Done

"Sit down. ”

Zheng Mingyuan sat behind his large desk, raised his eyes to look at Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang, who were brought in by the secretary, nodded slightly, and motioned for them to sit down.

Tang Zifeng thanked him and sat down on the sofa with Han Weichang. The secretary cast an inquiring glance at Zheng Mingyuan, and after getting Zheng Mingyuan's approval, he picked up the hot water bottle, poured a cup of boiling water for Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang respectively, and put it on the coffee table in front of them, and then pulled a chair and sat opposite the two.

Zheng Mingyuan waited for everyone to sit down before saying to Tang Zifeng: "Your factory director Zhou called me about this matter. I have already told him on the phone that we are not considering purchasing this machine tool from China at present, and the ministry has also approved our application to import machine tools from abroad. ”

"Yes, we know that. Tang Zifeng said.

"So, what do you want to talk about when you come to me?" asked Zheng Mingyuan.

Tang Zifeng said: "Director Zheng, according to what we have learned, although the ministry has agreed to Xizhong to import a heavy-duty boring and milling machine from abroad, Xizhong has not signed a contract with foreign manufacturers so far, so Director Zhou thinks that we may still have a chance for a machine." In fact, Xizhong first planned to purchase this heavy boring machine from our Linyi machine, only because there were some problems in the internal management of Linyi machine at that time, and it was unable to undertake such equipment, so Xizhong had to consider importing from abroad, is this the case?"

"Not exactly," Mr. Zheng said. Indeed, we were the first to contact with the Linyi machine, after all, the Linyi machine is one of the best in China in terms of heavy boring, and we have also bought a Linyi machine in the past, which is generally very good. However, compared with RB, Germany, and Italian products, the performance and quality of our domestic heavy boring are still a lot worse. We are responsible for the equipment of national key projects, and the requirements for processing accuracy are very high, so if possible, we are still more willing to introduce this equipment from abroad. ”

"You just said 'if possible', so are there some impossible factors?" Tang Zifeng asked keenly.

Zheng Mingyuan was slightly stunned, then smiled faintly and said, "Assistant Xiao Tang, you think too much." Some time ago, we did encounter some difficulties. At that time, Western countries were still imposing sanctions on us, and our negotiations on the introduction of heavy boring were not going well. But since the second half of last year, the blockade of the West has lifted our blockade, and several foreign manufacturers have promised to provide us with heavy boring, and we are now just comparing prices with them, and it is estimated that we will sign a contract soon, so there is no impossible factor. ”

"However, Director Zheng, our heavy boring is much cheaper than foreign heavy boring, and there is no obvious gap in machining accuracy. Tang Zifeng said.

Zheng Mingyuan said: "I admit that your products have some advantages in price, but this is not the focus of our consideration. In order to ensure the quality of the products, it is still affordable for us to spend a little more money on the equipment. ”

Tang Zifeng said: "It's not a question of spending 'a little' more. An imported heavy boring is at least 15 million, and it uses foreign exchange. The price of heavy boring we provide can be less than 12 million, all paid in RMB. At least 3 million price difference, Xizhong doesn't consider it?"

Zheng Mingyuan shook his head resolutely and said, "It is impossible for us to consider purchasing from Linyi at this time. The price difference of more than 3 million is indeed attractive, but we still have to consider the future production needs. If we are greedy for cheap now, and all kinds of problems arise in future production, we will lose more than we gain. ”

"Director Zheng, we ......"

Tang Zifeng still wanted to make some efforts, but the secretary had already gotten a hint from Zheng Mingyuan. He stood up, walked up to Tang Zifeng, interrupted him, and said, "Assistant Tang, I'm sorry, Director Zheng still has more important work here, do you think we're here today?"

Tang Zifeng looked at Zheng Mingyuan and found that Zheng Mingyuan had lowered his head to look at the documents on the table, as if Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang were non-existent transparent objects. In the face of Zheng Mingyuan's contempt, Tang Zifeng had no choice at all. Xizhong's level is half a level higher than that of Linyiji, even if Zhou Heng comes to the door in person, Zheng Mingyuan can not give face, let alone a little Tang Zifeng.

"Assistant Tang, what do you think we should do?"

Coming out of Zheng Mingyuan's office, Han Weichang asked Tang Zifeng. After asking, he made a clever suggestion again: "Or, let's look for their handle just like we did with Jin Che last time, and force this surnamed Zheng to bow his head." I have heard that many companies buy foreign equipment in order to get benefits from foreign manufacturers. Some foreign manufacturers will provide opportunities for people on our side to travel abroad, do you say that Zheng Mingyuan also took the benefits of others?"

"Old Han, do you think your life is too long?" Tang Zifeng reprimanded angrily, "Last time, it was Jin Che who owed us money, and they took the lead in the first place, we did a little too much, and we still took advantage of it." Now people want to buy a piece of equipment from abroad, and don't want to use our Linyi products, what's wrong with that? In order to pull business, we still go to collect other people's handles like last time, and we really think that people's security offices are vegetarians?"

"Is there a difference?" Han Weichang muttered in a low voice, but he accepted Tang Zifeng's statement in his heart. Everything has to be a famous teacher, Jin Che does not pay back the debts, and it is reasonable to fight back on the first machine, so last time Tang Zifeng dared to threaten Song Fulai and Ge Zhongle with photos. But this time, Zheng Mingyuan didn't offend Lin Yiji, he threatened others for a single business, and he deserved to be beaten.

In fact, Han Weichang didn't understand this truth, he just had some money obsessed with it, so he would come up with such a bad idea. The price of a heavy boring is more than 10 million yuan, even if he gets a commission of 5‰, he has 50,000 yuan, which is why he is dizzy.

Tang Zifeng didn't continue the topic, but frowned and asked Han Weichang, "Old Han, do you know anyone in Xizhong?"

"Nope. Han Weichang shook his head and said.

"This can be there. Tang Zifeng inspired.

"Yes, there really is no ......"

"Can't you just find a way to know one?"

"Hey, when you say that, I think I can really have a ......" Han Weichang's eyes lit up and he said.

Han Weichang said "yes", not that he really knew anyone in Xizhong, but that he remembered that he had a relative in Jianhe City, where Xizhong was located, who had made a few turns. He had met this relative in Linhe seven or eight years ago, and had not been in touch since. Tang Zifeng asked him to find a way to get to know a person from Xizhong, and he felt that he could start with this relative.

Tang Zifeng listened to Han Weichang's explanation, and without saying a word, he took him to the Jianhe City Telecom Building and asked him to start calling. Han Weichang did not have the contact method of this relative in Jianhe, he needed to call back to Linhe first, ask other relatives for the phone number of this relative, and then contact this relative, and then introduce Xizhong's relationship through this relative.

A phone call lasted for two hours, and the phone bill alone cost more than 200 yuan. Tang Zifeng did not hesitate to let Han Weichang pay out of his own pocket, Han Weichang was so distressed that he was dripping blood, but he had to agree. A few years ago, Tang Zifeng took Han Weichang to Jingnan to sell the packer, and Han Weichang should get a commission of 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, and now he spends 200 yuan to make a long-distance call.

That night, Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang opened a private room in a high-grade restaurant in Jianhe City, and after sitting down and waiting for half an hour, a man in his early 40s wearing glasses walked in under the guidance of the waiter, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked with a confused face: "Excuse me, which is Section Chief Han from Linhe?"

"I am. Han Weichang stood up, stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, are you the section chief Pan of the Xiye Production Department?"

The man shook hands with Han Weichang and said, "Yes, I'm Pan Shikai." Lao He said that you are his relative, and you want to find someone from Xizhong to understand some information. I have to state in advance that if it involves the secrets of our factory, it is inconvenient for me to disclose them, this is not a matter of not giving you face to Section Chief Han, you should be able to understand, right?"

"Understand, understand. Han Weichang said, "I am also in the enterprise, and I still understand these rules." Come on, Chief Pan, please take a seat first. Let me introduce to you, this is Tang Zifeng, the assistant to the factory director of our Linyi machine, and is my leader. ”

"Oh, Assistant Tang, it's disrespectful. Pan Shikai, who had already entered the table, owed his body, which could be regarded as a tribute to Tang Zifeng. Linyi machine is also a well-known enterprise in China, and it is impossible not to know the level of Linyi machine with Pan Shikai's age. Tang Zifeng, as the assistant to the factory director of Linyi Machine, must be above Pan Shikai, so he needs to make a respectful expression.

Of course, he just needs to make a representation. No matter how high Tang Zifeng's level is, he can't care about Xizhong's affairs, so Pan Shikai doesn't have to be afraid of Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "Section Chief Pan is not polite, we are people from two companies, or don't call each other what positions we have." I call you Lao Pan, you call me Xiao Tang, what do you think?"

"It's fine. Pan Shikai replied. He still hasn't figured out what kind of medicine these two people from the river are selling in the gourd, he was entrusted by someone, and the other party has no binding force on him. Since the other party wants to be intimate, he will let the other party be. Anyway, what to say and what not to say, he knows in his heart, and he is not afraid of what sugar-coated cannonballs the other party throws.
