Chapter 670: The cleaners in our building all understand
Hearing that Zhao Xinwei was making trouble again, Feng Xiaochen gave Cao Zhiyuan a look, but what he got was a helpless expression from the other party. Based on the friendship formed by Feng Xiaochen and Cao Zhiyuan shoveling sand together yesterday, Feng Xiaochen knew that Cao Zhiyuan meant that he himself could not help the deputy director under him. This kind of thing where a boss can't help his subordinates is not uncommon in the system, and as for the reasons, it is often not humane.
However, what Feng Xiaochen needs to know is Cao Zhiyuan's attitude towards Zhao Xinwei. Since Zhao Xinwei's performance has nothing to do with Cao Zhiyuan, Feng Xiaochen doesn't need to worry about any feelings. He looked at Zhao Xinwei, smiled slightly, and asked:
"Director Zhao, you said that the price war violates trade rules, and which rule is it violated?"
"Of course, there is no arbitrary price reduction rule. Zhao Xin replied without taking it for granted, and when he saw that the people from the equipment company opposite were looking at him like they were watching something new, he suddenly had a sense of accomplishment. He glanced around the crowd, and then said slowly: "We Chinese do business, quality is not good, we like to fight the price, and the price will be reduced at every turn." In foreign countries, it is forbidden to reduce prices casually, and if you reduce prices casually, it is called sales...... Pin...... What's the pin?"
Suddenly forgetting the words when pretending to be forked is undoubtedly the most embarrassing thing in the world, and this incident is happening to Zhao Xinwei now. He was born in Japanese, and he didn't know much about industry and trade, but it was only because he worked as a translator for a certain leader for two years after graduating from university and was favored by the leader, so he was promoted to deputy director and became Cao Zhiyuan's subordinate. Because he has a backer, in the exchange center, he doesn't buy anyone's account, and he once choked on the leader of the center when he had a meeting. Several leaders of the center are also in line with the idea that more things are better than less, and they are unwilling to worry more about him. Cao Zhiyuan is not the leader of the center, and there is nothing he can do about him.
This time, Cao Zhiyuan brought him to the equipment company, also because he was one of the few people who went to Argentina this time, and he had to add some circumstances. Seeing that he was talking freely here, Cao Zhiyuan already regretted it.
"Director Zhao, what you want to say is dumping, right?" Zhou Mengshi couldn't stand it anymore, and made a word for Zhao Xinwei.
"Yes, yes, it's dumping. Zhao Xinwei replied repeatedly, and then looked at Zhou Mengshi in surprise and asked, "What, this lady, you also know about dumping?"
Zhou Mengshi shrugged her shoulders and said, "Look at what Director Zhao said, our equipment company has overseas cooperation projects all year round, if you don't even know the concept of dumping, how can you stay in the company? ”
"......" Zhao Xinwei almost couldn't get up in one breath, what kind of people are in this equipment company, and let people pretend to be two devils unpleasantly? I still heard people talk about dumping when I went abroad, and I wanted to show off here, but this person actually said that even the cleaners in their building know what dumping is, and your standards for recruiting cleaners are too high, right?
"Since you also know about dumping, then you don't need me to explain more, right? Just now, Section Chief Gu said that your quotation for fertilizer equipment can be 30% lower than that of Iketani Manufacturing, which is dumping and will be punished by the GATT. Zhao Xinwei threatened inwardly.
Leng Feiyun glanced at him and said, "Director Zhao, I don't understand this, the cost of our equipment is cheap, why can't we quote it lower than Iketani Productions?"
"This is the international anti-dumping regulations, as long as your price is lower than that of competitors, this is called dumping. Zhao Xinwei said.
"Your definition of dumping was learned from the cleaners in your unit, right?" Wang Genji spoke, "Who told you that if the price is lower than that of competitors, it is called dumping? According to you, if our price is higher than that of Chigu, then Chigu is also dumping?"
"How can the Japanese dump?" Zhao Xinwei blurted out, and only then did he feel that he seemed to be acting too pro-Japanese, and at the same time, a question also surged up in his heart: Yes, why are Japanese things cheap, so they are not considered dumping? Could it be that he has a wrong understanding of dumping?
Cao Zhiyuan had to come out to speak, and he said coldly to Zhao Xinwei: "Director Zhao, about this issue, you should find out more." Mr. Feng, they have done a lot of equipment export business, and their understanding of this issue will definitely be more accurate than ours. ”
After that, he turned his head again and said to Feng Xiaochen: "Mr. Feng, what Xiao Zhao just said should be a mistake in memory, let's ignore him for now, let's continue with the topic just now." ”
Zhao Xin was not left aside, and no one paid attention to him. The people on the equipment company's side continued to analyze their own advantages, while Cao Zhiyuan and Hu Xiaoyun supplemented them with information based on their previous contacts with the Argentine side. After chatting for a while, Cao Zhiyuan, who didn't know much about industry, also began to believe that Chinese companies do have the ability to win these four sets of large fertilizer equipment in Argentina. To compete with the Japanese, the biggest advantage is the low cost of labor, large fertilizer equipment is no longer a high-tech product, in which the input of labor is considerable, but also become an important factor affecting the cost.
"Are you saying that at present, Iketani Manufacturing is also using our workers to install overseas equipment through labor cooperation with us?" Cao Zhiyuan asked in disbelief.
"This kind of cooperation has been going on for seven or eight years. Feng Xiaochen explained, "More than half of the workers of many Japanese companies that have installed overseas projects at Iketani Manufacturing are dispatched from China. ”
"Are these workers mainly responsible for less technically demanding jobs?" Cao Zhiyuan asked.
Leng Feiyun replied: "No, our workers can undertake very technically demanding work, and some Japanese companies undertake projects, and the general on-site dispatch overseas is handled by our Chinese engineers." ”
"That's the case!" Cao Zhiyuan sighed, "I can't imagine that our technical strength is already so strong, no wonder Mr. Feng was so confident when he told me yesterday." ”
Wu Shican said with a straight face: "Director Cao, this may be like a mountain across the line." In fact, the industrial thing is also very simple to say. In the past, we couldn't do big chemical fertilizers, because we had never done it, and we had been isolated from the West for so many years, and we felt very unfamiliar with people's technical specifications and process know-how. In the past ten years, with the help of imported projects, we have engaged in 'joint design and cooperative manufacturing' with foreign enterprises, and we have been exposed to their routines. If you think about it, our Chinese technicians and workers are no less than foreigners with one hand or one leg, so why can't we make something that others can make?"
Minister Wu is right. Cao Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then Mr. Feng, can the two of us cooperate to promote this matter?" Our center will help you match, and you will send a few comrades who understand technology to go to Argentina with us to negotiate with the officials of the Argentine Ministry of Agriculture, and strive to eat all four sets of equipment. However, I have to say that our people will accompany you to Argentina, and you will have to pay for the air tickets and travel expenses. Also, if the project can really be won, we should also get a little bit of information money, right?"
The latter words, he said with a smile, as if he was just making an innocuous joke. However, Feng Xiaochen knew that he was serious, and now whether it was a public institution or a government department, they were all engaged in generating income, and Cao Zhiyuan and their center must not be exempt from vulgarity, and it was normal to hope to collect some information fees. Feng Xiaochen is also willing to pay them information fees, because this can encourage them to collect more similar information. Once this kind of thing spreads, similar organizations under other ministries and commissions will also be jealous, so they will take the initiative to contact the equipment company, which is equivalent to the equipment company hiring a group of gold medal information personnel. These institutions can find some business clues to come back, and the value generated is enough for Feng Xiaochen to give them a generous commission.
"If this matter can be done, I will calculate 1% of the information fee for you, what does Lao Cao think?" Feng Xiaochen said on the spot, this standard was actually set by the equipment industry company in the past, and it is not considered a violation nowadays.
"Is 1% based on the profit of the project?" Cao Zhiyuan asked.
"Of course not. Feng Xiaochen said, "There are too many famous halls for project profits, and if you complain about us for concealing profits, we will have a lawsuit." The information fee we are talking about is calculated according to the contract amount of the project, and if these four sets of equipment can be sold for 1 billion US dollars, you can withdraw 10 million. ”
"10 million, so high!" Hu Xiaoyun, who was sitting next to Cao Zhiyuan, suddenly couldn't control his excitement and shouted out the truth. As soon as the words came out, she knew that it was wrong, how could she claim that the price given by the other party was too high when bargaining? If she said this, would it make the director unable to raise the price again?
Cao Zhiyuan glanced at Hu Xiaoyun with a smile, and when he saw her embarrassed face, he smiled and said to Feng Xiaochen: "Mr. Feng, I really made you laugh." Let's be honest, we're a poor unit, and getting a commission of $10 million at a time is something we couldn't have imagined in the past. What I didn't say, according to the standard set by Mr. Feng, let's make a decision. ”
"Okay, that's a deal. Feng Xiaochen replied briskly. He knew what the $10 million commission would mean for the exchange center, but he wasn't going to cut the price. You have to let the other party make money to the extent that you are overjoyed, so as to stimulate their enthusiasm to go out and contact the business, which can be regarded as a horse bone in the gold market. Also, there may be anti-backbone boys like Zhao Xinwei in the exchange center, with such high profits, if these people dare to chirp, it is estimated that there is no need for the leaders of the center to come forward, and ordinary workers will tear them up and feed them to the dogs.
