Money talks. After getting the 1 million yuan paid by Moyang Company, the Xu family quickly mobilized. It turned out that because they disliked the poor housing conditions of their son-in-law's family and were unwilling to come over to help the in-laws and grandchildren, they happily rushed to the capital with luggage rolls, and Xu Wenliang's son and daughter-in-law began to look for suitable real estate everywhere and prepared to buy a house and move.

The property market in 2005 is not particularly hot, there are many real estate development has not been sold, as long as you pay, you can move in at any time, unlike the later generations to sell houses are all selling pre-sale properties, pay the money for three years and five years are not necessarily able to live in.

After Xu Wenliang and his wife handed over all the money to their son, they set off for Mingzhou. After taking so much money from others, Lao Xu was not sure, and he couldn't wait to start working immediately and create the value of 1 million for the other party.

Ning Mo also knew that the old man was nearly 80 years old, and he was not the kind of young man who could be used as an animal. He found a small machinery factory as a place to renovate the equipment, and hired several experienced engineers in Mingzhou to be responsible for the on-site work. However, soon after the equipment renovation work began, Ning Mo knew that his 1 million was definitely worth the money, and Lao Xu's experience was far better than that of those young and middle-aged engineers with master's degrees from famous schools.

When Xu Wenliang first arrived in Mingzhou, Feng Xiaochen had to call every once in a while to inquire about the situation and see if the old man could adapt to such a job. He was out of kindness to help the old man find something to do, in case the old man was tired of something, he couldn't explain it. Fortunately, every time he gets optimistic news, Xu Wenliang's voice on the other side of the phone is getting louder and louder every time, it seems that people still need to do something to keep their health healthy. Knowing this, Feng Xiaochen was relieved, he really didn't have much energy to pay attention to Ning Mo's business, because he himself had a tricky matter at hand.

"These turtle grandsons, after so many years of reform and opening up, still have a face of admiring foreigners, thinking that domestic equipment is not good, so they have to buy foreign equipment. Xiaochen, tell me, back then, our country's technology was so backward, and we could advocate the localization of equipment, why has the atmosphere been reversed over the years?"

In Feng Xiaochen's office, Wang Weilong, deputy general manager of Luoye Machinery Group Company, was complaining. What he said is actually not big, that is, Luo Ye has launched a new packaging machinery, according to Wang Weilong, the performance has reached the advanced level of similar equipment in the world, but when it was recommended to users, it was rejected by users, on the grounds that the quality is not as reliable as foreign equipment.

Luoye, formerly known as Zhongyuan Luoqiu Metallurgical Machinery Factory, is an enterprise specializing in mining machinery manufacturing under the Ministry of Metallurgy, and its main product is electric wheel dump trucks. With the improvement of the technical level of the enterprise and the expansion of the scale, Luoye's products have gradually increased, and it has begun to become a cross-industry equipment manufacturing enterprise, which is currently focusing on deep-sea petroleum equipment, and the name of the company has also been changed to Luoye Machinery Group Company. The scale of the company is large, only one or two products will not be able to survive, so Luo Ye, like many domestic equipment enterprises, continues to enter new areas, Wang Weilong this time out of the promotion, is their newly developed packaging machinery products, who knows that it is not good.

Feng Xiaochen knew about this, and when he heard Wang Weilong's complaint, he asked with a smile: "Old Wang, you can honestly say that there is a gap between the quality of your equipment and the advanced level of foreign countries?"

"Then it needs to be said...... Wang Weilong's tone was lowered, obviously feeling that there were some shortcomings, he argued: "After all, we have just started to make this kind of product, and there are no other companies in China that have done it in the past, so we have no experience to learn from." Although we have also repeatedly demonstrated, there are no mistakes in the manufacturing process, but no one can say what new problems will occur in the process of use. ”

"Isn't this just a normal thing for users to worry?" Feng Xiaochen said.

Wang Weilong said: "However, if there is no user to use, how can we accumulate experience to improve the equipment? Without experience, we can't sell it, and if we can't sell it, we can't have experience.

Feng Xiaochen's face was a little serious, he nodded and said, "Lao Wang, you're on point." The company that is experiencing this situation now is not your Luo Ye family. Many equipment companies have reported similar problems to us, that is, the first equipment in China, which cannot be trusted by users. And if there is no first user to use a domestic device, other users will not accept it. ”

"That's why I said, now the atmosphere is really going backwards. When there was a heavy equipment office, didn't the state advocate the use of domestically produced equipment? How has it changed now?" Wang Weilong muttered dissatisfiedly.

"It hasn't changed now. Feng Xiaochen said, "The national policy is as always, and it is still to encourage the use of domestic equipment." The National Development and Reform Commission has issued several notices, requiring that domestic equipment must be given priority to the use of domestic equipment when the level of domestic equipment is equivalent to that of foreign equipment. You say it's different from the 80s for two reasons. First, almost all of our equipment users were state-owned enterprises, and the procurement of major equipment was also invested by the state, so the national policy could directly intervene in the procurement behavior of enterprises. At present, the private economy is the majority, and many private enterprises use their own funds to purchase equipment, and it is not convenient for the state to intervene. ”

"That's the same, these private bosses are all indifferent. Wang Weilong commented.

Feng Xiaochen smiled: "Lao Wang, you have a discriminatory vision. In fact, you also ignore the second aspect, that is, we were able to localize the equipment was very limited, in addition to some old models of equipment, the new equipment is basically imported from abroad, domestic enterprises can do some equipment subcontracting at best, and there are few independent development of new equipment. And now our equipment localization level has been greatly improved, in fact, most of the equipment used in China has been localized, including many private enterprises you mentioned, are also willing to purchase domestic equipment. Not to mention far, let's talk about metallurgical equipment, many private iron and steel plants use equipment, all of which are domestic, which you should know. ”

Wang Weilong smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Hey, according to what you say, that's really the case." However, Xiaochen, what I said is also true, right? Many of our peers are facing the same problem, as long as it is equipment that has not been done in the past, people do not believe it and are unwilling to purchase, what do you say?

Feng Xiaochen said: "Leng Feiyun has done a special survey on this issue, and in addition to listening to the opinions of the production enterprises, they also listened to the opinions of the user enterprises. Some users pointed out that some new domestic equipment lacks application experience, and there are often some unexpected errors when using it, which greatly affects the production of user units. Although the manufacturer can carry out repairs in a timely manner, the loss of work caused by this, and sometimes the scrapping of the user's product due to equipment failure, are not compensated. The loss of a day of shutdown is hundreds of thousands, and the difference between domestic equipment and imported equipment is only so, so why not just spend more money to buy imported equipment, so as to be down-to-earth. ”

"We've heard that too. However, the rules in the industry are like this, if the equipment fails, we are responsible for repairing it and compensating according to the contract, which is okay. But if we want to say that we will also compensate for the loss of lost work, we can't afford to pay for it. Instead of that, we might as well not innovate. Wang Weilong said.

"Isn't this it?" Feng Xiaochen said, "Lao Wang, do you remember that when you first copied the dump truck of the American Haifei Company, Director Zou of the Honghedu Mining Bureau resolutely did not want your car, because he was afraid that your car would lie in the nest and delay their production." ”

Hearing Feng Xiaochen mention the old thing, Wang Weilong laughed out loud and said, "Remember to remember, how can you not remember." Back then, you ran to the Red River and scolded Lao Zou for being backward and shameless, but you made the old man angry. During the Chinese New Year this year, I called Director Zou to pay New Year's greetings, and he also mentioned you and said that he would find an opportunity to clean you up. ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "Lao Zou and I don't know each other, and he was kind to me later." Besides, he can't clean up if he wants to clean up now, he's almost 90 years old, how can he still have the strength. ”

"Lao Zou is a good person, when we talked on the phone during the Chinese New Year, I told him that our dump trucks have now been sold to those mines in Australia and Peru, he was very happy to hear it, and said that he wanted to find an opportunity to go around those foreign mines to see how we used equipment to exchange other people's copper ore. Wang Weilong said.

"That's what I promised him back then. Feng Xiaochen said that after talking about this episode, he returned to the topic and said: "Lao Wang, about what you said, I talked to a few colleagues in the industry, and they came up with an idea, you can also give it to the staff." ”

"What's the idea?" asked Wang Weilong.

Feng Xiaochen said: "They also believe that it is impossible for manufacturers to bear the risk of lost work for users, which will discourage the enthusiasm of production enterprises for innovation." But if users are allowed to bear their own risks, these users are not motivated to purchase domestic equipment, especially new equipment that has no application experience in China. Therefore, they proposed that the insurance company can be asked to set up a new equipment use insurance, and the manufacturer will pay the insurance premium, if the equipment fails in use, causing the user to lose work, the insurance company will compensate for the loss of work. In this way, there is no risk for both the production enterprise and the user enterprise. ”

"This is a good way!" Wang Weilong's eyes lit up and he praised.
