"Mr. Feng, you really wronged us. ”

After listening to Feng Xiaochen's request, Song Yang, deputy director of the Linbei Railway Branch, shouted with a bitter face:

"Linbei Heavy Machinery is the largest enterprise in our Linbei Province, and it is also one of the best in the whole Bac Ninh Province, how can we, as the railway branch of Bac Ninh Province, not focus on ensuring the transportation needs of Linbei Heavy Machinery? But you ask Director Liu, is this matter our problem, or Linbei Heavy Machinery's own problem. Our transportation department also has its own difficulties, and Lin Bei Heavy Machinery should also understand our difficulties, right?"

"Director Liu, what's going on?" Feng Xiaochen turned his head to Liu Wang, who had accompanied him to the railway branch, and asked in surprise. As soon as he heard that Lin Bei had a problem with transportation, he hurriedly asked Liu Wang to take him to the railway branch, some things really didn't ask too clearly, and now listening to Song Yangyi, he sensitively realized that there seemed to be some hidden secrets in this.

Liu Wang's face was a little embarrassed, and he explained: "It's true that we did something wrong with this matter, but we can't be blamed." Last month, a customer in Spain sent a fax saying that their excavator accidentally fell while using it, and the running gear was damaged. Our comrades from the technical department analyzed the photos they sent and determined that the track frame was damaged......"

Feng Xiaochen interrupted him and asked, "Wait, didn't you say the underframe beam?"

Liu Wang smiled bitterly: "This is the problem. At that time, we judged that the crawler frame was damaged, so we asked Director Song to urgently coordinate a wagon, transport a set of crawler frame to Hongshan Port, and then send it to Spain by sea. The maintenance personnel on our side rushed over by plane, and when they got there, they realized that the bad was not the track frame at all, but the underframe beam, and the track frame sent over was useless at all. ”

Song Yang shrugged his shoulders to Feng Xiaochen, which meant that Feng Xiaochen could understand it: You have set up the oolong yourself, how can you blame me for not helping? Last time, you were in a hurry to find me to coordinate the wagon, and I did it for you. Now you're telling me that you've sent the wrong goods, and you're asking for wagons again, do I want to get down to business?

"Lao Liu, can't you send someone to determine what is broken first, and then arrange for delivery? Not to mention the waste of freight for sending the wrong parts, it is also very inappropriate to just trouble Director Song to arrange wagons for you again and again, right?" Feng Xiaochen said, he somewhat apologized to Song Yang for Liu Wang, and Song Yang must be able to hear it.

Liu Wang sighed: "Mr. Feng, we also know this. However, if we send a few people to Spain, it will take more than half a month just to sign the contract, and we may not be able to do it. The time of shipping to Spain is 30 days, if we wait for people to go to Spain and then deliver the goods, not to mention the delay, a few repairmen wait in Spain for a month in vain, people eat horses and feed, it is also a lot of money, these money is not less than a trip freight. ”

"But don't you still have to let the workers wait in Spain now?" Feng Xiaochen asked rhetorically.

Liu Wang smiled bitterly again: "Alas, this is called speed, but you can't reach it." How could we have thought that the Spaniards couldn't even tell the difference between the underframe beam and the track frame, and if they had taken a closer look, we wouldn't have made such a big mistake. Knowing this, we would have sent someone to be stationed in Spain. ”

"Send someone to live in Spain?" a thought flashed through Feng Xiaochen's mind.

"How is this possible?" Liu Wang immediately denied his words, "How high is the cost of living in Spain, and the money I make from selling those excavators is not enough to pay for my travel expenses." In the future, we will still have multiple eyes, so that the customer's side can take a picture more clearly, and it will save us from making mistakes. ”

It was inconvenient for Feng Xiaochen to continue to discuss with Liu Wang here, he turned his head and asked Song Yang, "Director Song, you are also clear about the situation. This matter is definitely the responsibility of Director Liu's side, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of our equipment industry company for the great assistance given by the Railway Branch and Director Song. ”

"It's not necessary to be grateful, that's what we should do. Song Yang waved his hand, not moved by Feng Xiaochen's attitude. He knew that the other party was so humble, it was nothing more than wanting to continue to plead, and he was thinking in his heart how to refuse, or where to reassign a wagon to Lin if he couldn't refuse. As he said earlier, Lin Chong is the largest enterprise in Linbei City, but if there is a way, Song Yang will not refuse Lin Chong's request.

Sure enough, after Feng Xiaochen finished saying polite words, he showed a look of embarrassment and said, "But, Director Song, you also know that this set of underframe beams is for transportation to Spanish customers." If the time is delayed, it will not only affect the reputation of Lin Chong, but also the reputation of our Chinese equipment manufacturing industry. It is of great significance for our equipment manufacturing industry to break out of Asia and enter the European market, and I think Director Song is also clear. If it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't have come over to intercede for Director Liu. ”

Song Yang also sighed, and he said, "Mr. Feng, I understand what you said. In fact, this kind of thing involving exports, let's say that you have traveled thousands of miles to contact the capital in person, even if Lin Chong himself came to say, we should spare no effort to provide support. But now our transportation task is too tight, our Linbei branch has more than a dozen wagons in a month, and now they have been allocated, some of these wagons are for transporting disaster relief materials, and some are related to national defense tasks, which do you say I can press? I also told Director Liu that I don't help, but that the wagons have been allocated this month, and we have to wait until next month to arrange for Lin Chong. ”

"However, our customer has been delayed for more than a month, and even if the goods are shipped now, it will take another month by sea, so there is really no time. If we wait another month for the wagon, it will be three months. Liu Wang said.

Song Yang said: "I really can't help this, there are only so many wagons allocated to us by the Northern Railway Bureau, and I can't change them, unless the Railway Bureau can temporarily add a wagon to us......

Speaking of this, he seemed to glance at Feng Xiaochen and Liu Wang inadvertently, and then smiled silently.

The co-authors are waiting for me here.

Feng Xiaochen understood, and he even guessed that Liu Wang and Song Yang might have colluded to sing a double reed, the purpose was to ask him Feng Xiaochen to come forward and go to the Northern Railway Bureau to contact the motor vehicle.

China is a country with a shortage economy, and many resources are in short supply and need to be deployed through planning. But as the saying goes, planning is not as fast as change, so the relevant departments must have some so-called "mobility indicators" at hand in order to cope with all kinds of unplanned changes.

The purpose of the mobile index is nothing more than three aspects: First, it is used to balance various relationships, such as a certain leader or a certain ministry or commission, and the department that has the resources cannot but give face; and third, it is used to exchange some benefits for units at all levels, such as giving some indicators to the local government, which is used to exchange places in several key middle schools. By the way, the places in key middle schools in the hands of the local government are also a kind of "mobile indicators", which can also be exchanged.

This is also the case when it comes to wagons. The Ministry of Railways will have some motor vehicle skins in its hands, and the following railway bureaus, sub-bureaus, station sections, etc., will also have some motor vehicle skins. The motor vehicle wagons of the Linbei Branch have run out, but the Northern Railway Bureau above still has wagons, which can be allocated to the Linbei Branch. In order to get the Northern Railway Bureau to take out the wagons, it is necessary to have a sufficient amount of leaders or units to contact and offer favors or interests in exchange. Lin Bei Heavy Machinery didn't have such a big face, and he didn't have any benefits to exchange, so he could only ask Feng Xiaochen for help.

So, does Feng Xiaochen have such a big face? The answer is yes. The Ministry of Railways wants to build railways, and the equipment involved in building railways is like a cow's hair, what bulldozers, excavators, road rollers, pavers, bridge erecting machines, as well as various processing machinery to manufacture rails, such as heavy rail milling machines, grinding machines, etc., some of which cannot be manufactured in China and need to rely on imports, but the vast majority of equipment must still be based on the country, and this is the matter of equipment industry companies. If the equipment industry company can fully support the Ministry of Railways and urge domestic equipment enterprises to actively develop and produce various railway equipment, the work of the Ministry of Railways will be better, otherwise, many railway construction projects will be delayed.

In fact, in recent years, the equipment industry company has had a lot of contacts with the engineering bureaus and manufacturing enterprises under the railway, and the two sides can be regarded as "related households". In order to equip the face of the industrial company, it is easy to ask the Northern Railway Bureau for a few wagons. Of course, Feng Xiaochen also understood that Liu Wang invited him to Linbei, obviously not just for a wagon, but to ask him to help connect with the Northern Railway Bureau, so that in the future, Lin Zhong could contact the Northern Railway Bureau by himself and get a long-term "meal ticket".

Feng Xiaochen couldn't refuse such a request. After all, Lin Chong is one of the key enterprises contacted by the equipment industry company, and it is also the responsibility of the equipment industry company to help Lin Zhong solve the transportation problem. He also said earlier that whether Lin Chong can transport the underframe beam to Spain in time is related to the reputation of the entire Made in China. At the Munich exhibition, all foreign companies are holding the mentality of trying to purchase equipment made in China, if because of after-sales service can not keep up, resulting in foreign companies losing confidence in Chinese equipment, this loss can be big.

"Well, I'll get in touch with the railroad to see if I can arrange some maneuver indicators from the ministry. However, Director Liu, you should take caution from this incident. No matter how many maneuver indicators there are, they can't stop you from wasting like this. Feng Xiaochen said to Liu Wang.
