036 Humiliating technology introduction team
When more than 20 young people were busy for Xie Kai's exam, and the personnel from all aspects of the entire 404 city were transferred to the technical department of Hongqi Machinery Factory, busy supplementing technical research materials, Luo Zhenxing, director of the office of the first machine department of the capital, the major equipment technology introduction office, and the office was rubbing his brain.
"Leader, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of the Japanese side once again proposed that we must give a reply as soon as possible, otherwise the negotiations with us will be cancelled. The secretary in his forties knocked on the office door.
The news brought made Luo Zhenxing's head even more swollen.
"Isn't it the Ministry of Commerce that is talking to them? Why do you want us to reply as soon as possible?" Luo Zhenxing rubbed his head again.
"The Commerce Department says this is the equipment we need, and it's up to us to decide. Secretary Yang Feng said cautiously.
RB people are not at ease at all, the CNC system is what we urgently need, those second-hand garbage machine tools in the fifties and sixties, what are they going to do? Not to mention some ordinary equipment. Luo Zhenxing patted his desk angrily and said. "What about the Fifth Division? Did they agree to the RB people's conditions?"
"I just don't agree. Yang Feng looked at the angry Luo Zhenxing helplessly.
He also knew that the conditions of the RB people were too harsh.
"Then let them go! You communicate with the Fifth Machine Department, ask them when they have time, let's sit together and communicate......" Luo Zhenxing thought for a while and said to Yang Feng.
"Chief, the comrades of the Fifth Machine Department have already come. There are also personnel from the Ministry of Commerce...... Waiting for you in the conference room......"
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" After speaking, Luo Zhenxing got up and walked out.
Jianguomen International Trade and Business District (construction has not yet begun), Jianguo Hotel.
At the door of a small conference room, there are several black-clad bodyguards, and in the conference room, several short RB people are in a meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter how much they pay for CNC technology, they can't sell it. The complete set of systems is sold to them as long as they agree to our terms, of course, it must be low-end. I hope you don't say anything. "Masao Yoshikawa, who presided over the meeting, is a small RB old man in his fifties, which is emphasized here again.
"Your Excellency, for the Chinese, the lowest-end products are already high-end, which can fully meet their needs! If it weren't for us, they wouldn't have gotten the advanced numerical control system at all!" said Oda Fuyuan, who is in his thirties, with a smile.
Everyone else smiled and nodded.
"Oda Jun is right, except for us, the people of China will not get it at all! Limited to the Batumi agreement, it is impossible for the United States to sell numerical control systems to them, not to mention that the numerical control systems of the Americans are not very good...... The GDR was technologically better than ours, but it was heavily regulated...... Even if it's our low-end products, it's the only source that the people of China can get!" A middle-aged man in his forties patted Oda Fuyuan's ass.
"Inobe-kun is right. But at the moment, Chinese don't accept our kindness......" Yoshikawa Masao looked at his men with appreciation.
"Your Excellency, since the Chinese are not willing to accept our goodwill, we can delay it a little longer. Without our CNC system, they are in a hurry!" Oda Tomigen suggested, "They urgently need this product, otherwise, it would not be possible to talk to us for so long." ”
"We are here for their sake, although the second-hand equipment is a little older, the price is cheaper, and the production accuracy and technical performance are higher than the equipment they produce themselves!" Saburo Ibe pretended to be surprised.
The whole conference room burst into laughter.
"Yes, we are providing a full set of CNC systems, there are CNC systems, there are machine tools, otherwise, how to circumvent the Batumi embargo?" Oda Fuyuan's face was like a flower.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we must find a way to get the Chinese side to agree to our terms, and selling those second-hand equipment to them is far more profitable than selling it as scrap metal. The Chinese officials don't know the technology, and they can't see it at all when we clean the equipment and then repair it, but their technicians know that they have to find a way to keep their technicians out of the picture......"
Compared with the relaxed atmosphere in the small conference room of Jianguo Hotel, the small conference room of the First Machine Department is full of smoke.
More than a dozen participants of different ages had almost the same expression on their faces - anger, helplessness!
Luo Zhenxing held half a cigarette in his hand, looked at the people around the conference table with a frown, took a deep breath, and made the cigarette a lot shorter before he spoke, "Let me say it first, if you want to agree to the conditions proposed by the Japanese side and buy their second-hand garbage machine tools, I will not sign." ”
"Director Luo, the RB people have already given an ultimatum, and after nearly two years of negotiations, whether it is the United States or Germany, we will not be able to obtain the CNC system......" Zheng Tao, director of the Import and Export Office of Mechanical and Electrical Products of the Ministry of Commerce, also frowned and looked helpless. "We have not been able to make a breakthrough in China, otherwise we will be so passive!"
No matter how passive you are, you can't agree to their non-centrifugal demands. If it's for technology, let's grit our teeth and endure it. But what they give is only the product, not the technology! If you want to agree to their conditions, we just need the system. Tan Qingyuan, deputy director of the Equipment Support Bureau of the Fifth Machinery Department, raised his eyebrows and said.
As a soldier, he has been on the battlefield in North Korea, and it is commendable that he can suppress his anger to such an extent.
He understands that the military industry needs CNC equipment.
CNC system is the key to CNC equipment.
"Old Tan, you're not kind! You want the system, do you want the rest of the garbage to us?" Luo Zhenxing was upset.
The condition put forward by the RB people is to sell it in a package.
A CNC system is tied to a second-hand machine tool that is almost scrapped.
In order to help China improve its technical level and manufacturing strength, it is not only willing to support China's advanced CNC system, but also support some high-precision conventional machining equipment.
Considering the lack of foreign exchange on the Chinese side and the high cost of new machine tools, they eliminated the machine tools that had not been used for several years to meet China's needs and the cost was lower......
At the beginning, the Ministry of Commerce almost agreed to such conditions.
The First Machinery Department in charge of industry and the Fifth Machinery Department of the Ordnance Industry sent a technical team to inspect the equipment, but directly refused on the spot.
The garbage given by the RB people has a bright appearance and serious wear on the inside, and cannot be used for finishing!
What do you do when you buy a machine that can't be finished?
What's more, it's just an ordinary machine tool, and there is no point in research.
It can also be produced domestically, even if the quality is a little worse and the processing accuracy is poorer.
"We have a lot of those equipment to be eliminated!" Tan Qingyuan snorted coldly, "Anyway, you don't lack these equipment!"
"I said two, let's study the right thing!" Zheng Tao saw the two arguing, and patted his swollen head.
If these two guys quarrel, they will be scrapped this morning.
Everybody's busy.
"I don't have to study it, we don't want it anyway!" What Zheng Tao didn't expect was that Tan Qingyuan and Luo Zhenxing, who were still hurting each other just now, said in unison.
"Don't? If we don't introduce research, how can we come up with our own CNC technology?" Zheng Tao was speechless.
How important CNC technology is for China, everyone is engaged in technology, everyone knows.
However, there are many domestic research on this technology, but no breakthrough has been made.
If there is relevant technology in China, he can see the face of the little devil?
For a moment, there was silence in the conference room.
It is clear to everyone that no one is willing to agree to the Japanese side's non-centrificial demands.
It's a shame!
Because there is no technology in the country, that's why they are so bullied. Even the Ministry of Commerce had to bow its head to a foreign company and say good things......
"The situation in China, everyone knows that whether it is a military industry or a civilian industry, technology lags too far behind Europe and the United States. The purpose of reform and opening up is to introduce technology, digest and absorb it, and then make breakthroughs on the foundation, develop our technology, and catch up with advanced foreign ......" Zheng Tao's tone was very serious.
The others were silent.
"For the introduction of the numerical control system, you know how much attention the chiefs have. You also have experienced how many times the comrades of the Ministry of Commerce have been snubbed in the process of negotiating with the Japanese side, and how many times they have been sarcastically ridiculed by them. Zheng Tao continued, "If it weren't for the country to catch up, who would?"
In the negotiation of technology import, China does not have any advantage at all.
Troubled at every turn.
A small foreign company can make things difficult for senior cadres of relevant state departments, and these cadres who are troubled can only be accompanied by smiling faces.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
Even if it is humiliated, even if it is wronged, no one is willing to give up the introduction of technology.
China's technological base is too poor.
Only by introducing technology can we quickly shorten the technological gap with foreign countries and catch up.
It's not that domestic technicians don't work hard enough, since the establishment of New China, the country has completed industrialization in a short period of time on the basis of poverty and whiteness, which is already a feat of mankind.
It is not enough to complete industrialization.
Foreign industries have developed for more than 200 years, and technical experience and talents have also accumulated for more than 200 years.
The establishment of New China began, and until now, it has only been 35 years!
If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and if you fall behind, you can only be bullied.
Therefore, knowing the humiliation, everyone can only endure it silently, in order to gain foreign technical experience, so as to surpass them.
"Lao Zheng, everyone knows the grievances in your hearts, but their conditions are too much. The price of the CNC system is already high, a set of tens of thousands of dollars! and we have to be forced to buy their unusable second-hand garbage equipment, and even put forward requirements in other fields...... Our country's foreign exchange is precious, and the introduction of 1,000 sets will cost hundreds of millions of dollars! We can't do this thing!" Luo Zhenxing lit a cigarette again.
These words were almost squeezed out of his teeth.
"If hundreds of millions of funds are invested in domestic technology research and development......" Tan Qingyuan's tone was also full of loneliness.
