Chapter 552: Things Are Reversed

"Director Wang, we have completed the revision of the bidding documents for the Shating Power Plant, please review them again. ”

"Director Wang, you don't seem to have revised the motor specifications. ”

"It's true that we didn't change this part, what we changed was mainly ......"

"Director Wang, we will compare the revisions in other places. However, the issue of unit specifications is the most critical. If you insist on the specification of 360,000 kilowatts, it means that our domestic enterprises are excluded, which is contrary to the country's requirement to use domestic equipment as much as possible, which you should know very well. ”

"Director Wang, of course we are clear about this issue. However, we have consulted with the World Bank's project experts about the size of the unit, and this specification has also been raised by the World Bank's experts, so we cannot easily change it. ”

"Director Wang, there's no need to say this, right? The World Bank-financed projects have not been reviewed by the State Planning Commission, and the World Bank experts must also respect the opinions of the construction side, as long as you insist on using 300,000 or 600,000 units, they have no reason to oppose it. ”

"Director Wang, since everyone has reached this level, I will say it directly. Of course, we can ask the World Bank experts to persist in the procurement of domestically produced equipment, but Director Wang also has a good idea of what the quality of domestically produced equipment will look like, right? It has been more than 10 years since Longshan Electric Machinery Factory introduced the technology of the American Xiyi Company, and they claim to have basically mastered these technologies, but when it comes to practical application, the chain is still dropped. And the state power plant thing, doesn't that illustrate this problem?"

"The matter of the state power plant is just an accident. It is impossible for domestic equipment to be foolproof, even if it is foreign technology, it can't be said to be perfect, right?"

"At least it's more reliable than Longdian's technology, right?"

"Are you convinced?"

"Of course!"

In a small conference room of the State Development Planning Commission, the talks between Wang Jinsheng and Wang Zhenbin finally and inevitably entered a white-hot state. Wang Zhenbin was relatively low-key at the beginning, while Wang Jinsheng was hiding needles in the cotton, and his tone of voice was very soft, but the content of his words was aggressive.

Many media hype about the Shating Power Plant and the issue of localization have made Dingnan Province and Dingnan Planning Commission the focus of public opinion. Under these circumstances, the provincial leaders gave instructions to Tan Guoliang, urging the Planning Commission to resolve the matter of bidding for the Shating Power Plant as soon as possible and not to allow it to ferment. In the view of the provincial leaders, once the bidding for the Shating power plant is over, the media will not be able to find the excitement of the hype, and things will naturally calm down. On the contrary, if it is allowed to make noise, this matter may have a lot of dreams at night, and eventually affect the implementation of the Kemper project.

In addition, several real estate companies are currently holding a wait-and-see attitude and do not dare to continue to invest in the Wulitan project. Everyone is just like what is said in the cross talk, they are waiting for the "second boot" to fall, and before that, no one's heart is steady.

Under pressure from the provincial leaders, Wang Jinsheng went to Beijing again, met with Wang Zhenbin, deputy director of the State Development Planning Commission, and submitted the revised bidding documents, intending to force Wang Zhenbin to nod. A large number of revisions have been made to the bidding documents, and each modification has been marked, which looks dazzling. In doing so, the Dingnan Planning Commission is doing so in order to give the State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Finance a step. I have made revisions in accordance with the requirements of the two ministries and commissions, and the revisions are extremely vigorous, so you should have nothing to say, right? As for the key issue of 360,000 kilowatts, it is impossible for Dingnan Province to change it.

Of course, Wang Jinsheng also knows that as long as the 360,000 kilowatt specification is not changed, the State Development Planning Commission will certainly not be satisfied, but under the shadow of the equipment failure of the Hezhou power plant, Wang Jinsheng is a little uncertain how much toughness the State Development Planning Commission can have. From the conversation he had with Wang Zhenbin just now, he felt that the State Development Planning Commission's confidence was not sufficient, so he decided to take a more resolute attitude and get the State Development Planning Commission to make concessions and quickly resolve this issue.

"Director Wang, we support the country's policy of promoting the localization of equipment. We also recognize and appreciate the efforts of many enterprises, including Yongsan Electric Factory, in this regard. However, objective laws cannot be violated, and the central authorities also advocate acting in accordance with objective laws. The incident of the Hezhou power plant shows that it still takes a process for us to digest and absorb foreign advanced technology, and our technology is still insufficient. In this case, we hope to choose more mature foreign technology, but also out of the attitude of responsibility for key projects, and the country should understand our intentions. Wang Jinsheng said with a humble gesture. He is at the same level as Wang Zhenbin, but he is a higher-level authority, and he has to keep a low profile no matter what.

Wang Zhenbin looked at Wang Jinsheng and asked expressionlessly: "Director Wang, how do you know that the equipment failure of the Hezhou Power Plant is a problem of our country? This set of 600,000 kilowatt units was designed by the American Xiyi Company, and some key components were also imported from the Xiyi Company, so why can't it be that there is a problem with their design or key components?"

"Director Wang, do you think this is possible?" Wang Jinsheng sneered, "What kind of enterprise is Xiyi Company, how can they make such a low-level mistake?"

Wang Zhenbin showed a smile and said, "Director Wang, I'm afraid you have made an empirical mistake. Engineers from Xiyi Company arrived in Hezhou yesterday, and they have admitted that the failure was a design error. ”

"What!" Wang Jinsheng almost jumped up. The Dingnan Provincial Planning Commission also has eyeliner on the Hezhou side, and before Wang Jinsheng set off from Dongyuan yesterday, he also made a special question, and the other party said that the cause of the fault had not yet been investigated, and the chief engineer of the Longshan Electric Machinery Factory had gray hair. How is it that things have changed so much in less than a day?

Wang Zhenbin snickered in his heart. In fact, as early as when Wang Jinsheng handed him the revised bidding documents, Wang Zhenbin wanted to laugh, but he still had to stretch a little first, so that Wang Jinsheng could talk to the fullest. Wang Zhenbin knew that the more Wang Jinsheng spoke, the more embarrassed he would be after learning the truth, and this would not only affect the confrontation between the two sides on this project, but would also affect the future relationship between the Dingnan Provincial Planning Commission and the State Planning Commission. With such a handle in the hands of the State Development Planning Commission, Dingnan will have to be more honest in the future.

Speaking from his heart, when he received a call from Feng Xiaochen and learned that the matter of Hezhou Power Plant was indeed an oolong set by Xiyi Company, Wang Zhenbin himself couldn't believe it. His first reaction was that Feng Xiaochen said something wrong, and then he suspected that Feng Xiaochen was playing some conspiracy and deliberately making up a fake news in order to achieve some purpose. But looking back, I knew that it was impossible, Feng Xiaochen was indeed a person who liked to say some witty things, but he would never make such jokes on business. For the sake of safety, Wang Zhenbin asked his subordinates to call the Hezhou Power Plant again, and the news he got was exactly the same.

A serious equipment failure caused countless doubts about domestic equipment, but in the end it turned out to be the fault of foreigners, at least for the first time in Wang Zhenbin's memory. Recalling the public opinion provoked by Dingnan before, Wang Zhenbin can fully imagine how many people will be trapped in this matter, and among them, Wang Jinsheng is undoubtedly the most devastating. If Dingnan Province wants to find someone to take the blame, Wang Jinsheng, a quiet beautiful man, can be described as neither tall nor short, neither long nor short, just right.

"Director Wang, this incident has taught us a great lesson. In the past, once something went wrong, we unconsciously found fault with ourselves, and never dared to question foreign partners, in the final analysis, this was the result of a lack of self-confidence. A few years ago, our technical level was low and we did not understand the international technological trend, so it is understandable that we have such a mentality. After more than 10 years of reform and opening up, we have mastered some international advanced technology, and also cultivated a large number of technical personnel with an international vision.

As far as I know, after the failure of Unit 2 of the Hezhou Power Plant, the technicians of the Longshan Electric Power Plant did not blindly believe in foreign countries, but proceeded from scientific laws to seriously find out the cause of the failure. Several young college students from their factory acted as the main force, and through a lot of calculations, they finally determined that the cause of the problem was that when Xiyi Company modified their traditional 60 Hz unit to a 50 Hz unit, there was an error in the calculation. Xiyi Company has checked the calculations according to the results of the Chinese calculations, has admitted their mistakes, and sent engineers to China to cooperate with us to revise the design. For the losses caused by this failure, Xiyi Company has said that it will compensate in full. Wang Zhenbin said.

"yes, that's great...... Director Wang is right, this is a lesson, we really can't be overly superstitious about foreign countries. Wang Jinsheng pretended to be smiling and agreed, the smiling face looked even more ugly than crying. I knew that it was such a result, what else did Dingnan toss. They instructed the media to publish so many articles questioning domestic equipment, and now things have reversed, and all the articles have become their own handles.

Wang Zhenbin nodded and said, "Yes, Director Wang, this lesson is too profound, we all have to remember it." You may not know it, after Xiyi Company admitted that he made a mistake, the old man made a instruction, saying that in the future, we should have more self-confidence and not blindly superstitious about the West, and he also said that some comrades are not accustomed to standing after kneeling for a long time, which should arouse the attention of all comrades in the party. …… Director Wang, Director Wang, what's wrong with you? Xiao Liu, call an ambulance!"
