Coming out of the production area, Xiao Ming still told Hou Jiangtao to send Tang Zifeng and the others to the guest house, and he returned to the chief engineer's office. A renovation business of 170,000 yuan, in fact, there is no need for him, the chief engineer, to talk about it in person, just find an equipment section chief or something to accompany Tang Zifeng and them on a trip. The reason why Xiao Ming went out in person was because of Qin Zhongnian's face, after all, this was Lao Qin's colleague, and it was not appropriate for him to be too lazy.

Hou Jiangtao sent Tang Zifeng and the others back to the guest house and left, listening to his footsteps disappear at the end of the corridor, Han Weichang closed the door and asked Tang Zifeng, "Assistant Tang, what is the situation?"

"I'm thinking, there must be something strange in this!" Tang Zifeng said in imitation of a certain character in a later TV series.

"Could it be that the 17th Institute wants to use this batch of rotten machine tools to test us?" Han Weichang guessed that a machine tool with a price of less than 10,000 yuan can indeed be regarded as a bad machine tool for Linyi machine. You don't see the heavy boring that Qin Zhongnian is designing, and the price is more than 10 million. If 17 need to refurbish this level of machine tools, the refurbishment cost of each unit is not too much to quote 1 million.

Tang Zifeng shook his head: "Not like that." Judging from Lao Xiao's performance yesterday, he didn't plan to give us 5 million business from the beginning. I actually thought wrong, now the poorest people in the country are military enterprises, 5 million is not a small amount for them, they can't be so casual. ”

"Who said that 17 has a budget of 5 million for machine tool refurbishment?" Han Weichang asked.

"Well...... this" Tang Zifeng blushed a little, it was really embarrassing to let a girl deceive, and he was really embarrassed to say it in front of Han Weichang.

"This is a small piece of news, although it has not been confirmed, but it also has a source and has a certain degree of credibility. Tang Zifeng said vaguely.

"Oh, I see. Han Weichang suddenly realized. Zhou Heng was sent from the ministry, maybe this kind of information was also heard through the channels of the ministry, this is not what he, the deputy head of the small craft section, is qualified to inquire about. He said: "So, how can there be only these hundreds of thousands of businesses left now?"

"I need to make a phone call. Tang Zifeng said.

17 arranged a single room for each of them, and when he heard that Tang Zifeng was going to call, Han Weichang quit Tang Zifeng's room with interest and went back to his own room to stay. Tang Zifeng closed the door, took out a mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed the number in the capital.

After the financial situation of Linyi Machine improved slightly, Zhou Heng asked the factory office to equip some important personnel with mobile phones, and Tang Zifeng was one of them. The workers in the factory have seen the efforts of the factory leaders and the improvement of the factory, and they can accept the factory leaders' distribution of mobile phones. As long as the factory leaders are busy with the revitalization of the factory, it is reasonable to have a mobile phone.

"Hey, may I ask if Xiao Wenjun from the first class is there? ”

The phone was connected, and Tang Zifeng said to the other party. The phone number he dialed was left to him by Xiao Wenjun before he left Linhe, and it was the phone number of the laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tsinghua University. Xiao Wenjun said that when she was not in class, she would often stay in the laboratory.

The other party answered, and then called someone to go. After a while, a familiar voice came from the phone: "Hey, I'm Xiao Wenjun, who is it?"

"I'm Tang Zifeng. Tang Zifeng said.

"Hello senior brother. The other party responded in a proper manner. Presumably, there are teachers, classmates and others around, and it is inconvenient for Xiao Wenjun to be poor with him.

"I'm in Wulang right now. ”

"What? Did you go to 17?"

"Yes, I was talking and laughing with Lao Xiao half an hour ago. ”

"Hehe, is Lao Xiao powerful?"

"It's not amazing, it's a kind little old man. ”

"Are you sure you're not looking for the wrong person?"

"Probably not......

"You called me just to tell me about it?"

"Mainly to tell you about it, of course, there is a small question I want to ask you about by the way. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Lao Xiao asked us to help refurbish the machine tools, a total of 86 machines, all of which were ordinary domestic machine tools in the sixties and seventies. We have just calculated that the total amount of this business is 172,000 based on the refurbishment cost of 2,000 yuan per machine. By the way, in order to show my respect for Lao Xiao, I wiped the fraction of 2,000 yuan. ”

"What?"

Xiao Wenjun immediately understood what Tang Zifeng meant. Although Tang Zifeng said it lightly, how could she not know that the other party was here to ask the teacher. Before leaving Linhe, she told Tang Zifeng conclusively that 17 had prepared 5 million funds for refurbishing machine tools, but when Tang Zifeng rushed to Wulang, what he got was a business of only 170,000 yuan.

"Have you seen the 86 machine tools you mentioned?"

"See. ”

"Do you remember which workshop?"

"It's workshop 107. ”

"So, didn't my dad take you to those 2-prefix workshops?"

"Nope. I haven't heard of any workshops with a prefix 2. ”

"I see. Senior brother, I will give you an answer when I understand this matter. ”

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Wenjun thought about it, took out a 300 card, and began to call Xiao Ming.

Regarding the 17 institutes planning to spend 5 million yuan to refurbish machine tools, Xiao Wenjun listened to his father, and this matter must be right. But after all, Xiao Wenjun is only a college student, not an employee of 17 institutes, so his understanding of the situation is not comprehensive.

When she was in Linhe, Xiao Wenjun made a phone call to her father out of the psychology of apologizing to Tang Zifeng, saying that she was a training teacher in Linyi Machine, and she met Qin Zhongnian, she heard that the business situation of Linyi Machine was not very good, so she wanted to introduce the machine tool refurbishment business of 17 institutes to Linyi Machine, and asked her father if she agreed.

Xiao Ming didn't think too much about his daughter's request. He said that the institute is indeed looking for local companies to help refurbish some machine tools, and if you are interested, you can send someone to talk. Under equal conditions, he can call the shots and leave the business to Linyiji.

may be because the long-distance phone bill is too expensive, and the father and daughter can't communicate in depth, or it may be because Xiao Wenjun has another hidden reason for introducing the business, and it is inconvenient for her to say too much to her father. In this round of communication between the two sides, there was actually a misunderstanding.

With Xiao Wenjun's idea, 17 plans to spend 5 million to refurbish the machine tool and undertake a machine, of course, for the 5 million, needless to say.

But on Xiao Ming's side, he didn't know that his daughter was worried about the 5 million business. The equipment department proposed to ask local enterprises to help, but it was just the refurbishment business of these 86 ordinary machine tools, and Xiao Ming was thinking about this small business. When he received a call from his daughter, of course he readily agreed. After all, it's just a matter of hundreds of thousands, who is it to do?

If Xiao Ming knew that what Xiao Wenjun was talking about was the 5 million business, it would be impossible for him to agree to his daughter. 5 million is a lot of money for 17 institutes, and who to do it needs to be discussed by the administrative office of the institute, and even one discussion is not enough. Such a big thing, how could he agree to it because of a phone call from his daughter.

Later, Qin Zhongnian called him, and he also thought that Qin Zhongnian was asking about the refurbishment of these ordinary machine tools. So when he heard that Linyiji sent to contact the business was actually a competent assistant to the factory director, he was still a little strange, a business of hundreds of thousands, as for such a grand ceremony?

Xiao Wenjun called Xiao Ming again at this time, of course he would not tell Tang Zifeng's words and discernment. She only claimed that Linyi called her to thank her for introducing the business, and then pretended to inadvertently ask for the details of the business. Xiao Ming was not wary of his daughter, thinking that his daughter just cared about his work, so he told his daughter some things that were not confidential.

After making the call, Xiao Wenjun showed a wry smile on his face, and after making trouble for a long time, he really put up an oolong.

"I see. ”

Receiving Xiao Wenjun's call back, Tang Zifeng's eyes flashed and he fell into deep thought.

"Assistant Tang, what do you know?" asked Han Weichang, who came back from hearing the news.

Tang Zifeng said: "I have learned that 17 institutes have indeed applied for a special fund of 5 million yuan for equipment transformation from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense for the renovation and transformation of old machine tools. The focus of this work is to carry out numerical control transformation of a number of imported machine tools in the early years. As for the part that we are asked to do, it is only a fraction of the work. ”

"But, why didn't Mr. Xiao mention the numerical control transformation to us?" Han Weichang asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "Because this business has been undertaken by another unit, the final price of this unit has not yet been determined, but 17 companies are expected to invest 4 million to 4.5 million." ”

"After a long time, the meat has been fished away by others, and we have left a mouthful of soup. If we knew this, we wouldn't even have served this soup, and just dropped the bowl and went back. Han Weichang said grumblingly.

Previously, Tang Zifeng asked him to quote according to the minimum standard, and his understanding was that Tang Zifeng might want to use this method to stabilize the other party in order to obtain follow-up business. But now it seems that people have already found the manufacturer, and no matter how diligent they are, it is in vain. In this case, this 170,000 business has no value to do.

Tang Zifeng smiled: "Old Han, look at your temper. How can the business be so easy to do, if we can get a big business with a casual trip, why should the factory promise such a high commission?"

Han Weichang said: "Hehe, Assistant Tang is right. However, now that the manufacturer has been determined, what's the use of us staying here?"

Tang Zifeng said: "You just said that the meat has been fished away by others, which is true. But another piece of news I heard was that the meat had been taken away, but it had not yet reached its mouth. ”

Han Weichang was stunned: "Why?"

"Maybe it's a little hot on the mouth. Tang Zifeng said, "Old Han, as long as the other party hasn't eaten the meat, we still have a chance, what do you say?"
