"Whether it is a commodity economy or a planned economy, China needs an equipment industry, which no one can deny, but there are differences in specific development ideas. In my opinion, how to turn the functions of the rearmament office is a matter for the higher-level leaders to consider. Now that the Office of Heavy Equipment still exists, we should continue to work hard. I think the issue of technical exchange that Xiao Feng just mentioned is very important. Since Director Luo said that the functions of the Heavy Equipment Office may be weakened, let's take advantage of the time before being weakened to do something quickly. Even if it's ...... Alas, at least we can say that we did our best. ”

Wu Shican said, and in the last sentence, he brought a bit of a sigh. He is a person with a technical background, and he does not know much about such issues as the economic management system, and after listening to Luo Xiangfei's words, he was a little disappointed and worried, but he didn't know how to break the situation, so he only sighed.

Xue Ducang has more experience in the rivers and lakes, he smiled and said: "Old Wu, don't be discouraged, some gossip is inevitable at the moment, I think the superior leaders still know how to do it, and they will not be swayed by those who worship foreign people." Right now, it's important for us to do our own thing. By the way, Director Luo just said that it is impossible to add another organization, Xiao Feng, what do you think about this issue?"

"That's right, it's important to do your own thing. Luo Xiangfei also took back his words, he looked at Feng Xiaochen, and said, "Xiao Feng, tell me what you think, I know you must have a way." ”

Among these people, Luo Xiangfei and Xue Ducang are both from Ben Liu, Wu Shican is younger and is also from Ben Wu, only Feng Xiaochen is a small character and is only in his early 20s. But everyone admires Feng Xiaochen's wit, and when they encounter difficult things, they all hope that Feng Xiaochen can give everyone a good idea. In fact, it is not surprising that reform is originally a thing that subverts traditional thinking, and the older people are, the easier it is to form a mindset, but young people can jump out of the past experience and find another way.

Feng Xiaochen's biggest advantage, but several veteran comrades do not know, that is, he has a vision more than 30 years ahead of the times, and knows the general trend of China's reform and the general trend of world development. With such foresight, putting forward some new thinking will naturally open the eyes of the veteran comrades.

Hearing Luo Xiangfei's general, Feng Xiaochen was not embarrassed, he said:

"This time, Director Luo sent me to help Luo Ye solve the problem of dump truck sales, and I did not directly contact the mines as in the past, but helped Luo Ye contact an information company and let the information company act as an intermediary to facilitate the transaction. My point of view is that in the era of commodity economy, we should gradually change our management thinking and use economic means to solve economic problems. ”

"That's a good idea. Luo Xiangfei said, "This is also the issue that the Economic Commission is currently considering, that is, how to change our management methods and use more economic means instead of administrative orders to achieve our management goals." ”

Feng Xiaochen continued: "I think this kind of thinking can also be used for the technical exchange that Director Wu said just now. When companies import technology from abroad, they also spend some costs. Of course, a significant part of this cost is paid by the state. I think that technical exchanges can be in the form of transactions, and we can hold technical exchange meetings of the national equipment system on a regular basis, and each enterprise will take out the technology it has mastered and clearly mark the price and sell it to other enterprises that need these technologies. We control the pricing problem so that some companies prefer to import these technologies from abroad because the pricing is too high. ”

Xue Ducang nodded and said, "I think it is necessary to control pricing. In fact, we used to engage in technical exchanges, all of which were free, and those companies that provided technology did not receive a penny, and sometimes they had to bear the entertainment costs of holding technical exchanges. Of course, at that time, the company did not have to pay for its own profits and losses, and the money spent was also the state's money, and the company did not feel distressed. Now that they are self-financing, it is unrealistic to let enterprises sell their technology for free. However, it is okay to let them charge a little less, after all, the money for the introduction of these technologies was also spent by the state. ”

Luo Xiangfei said: "Xiao Feng's idea is not bad, but to hold such an exchange meeting, there are a lot of people invested, how can we have such energy?"

"Can you borrow some people from the company to help?" Wu Shican said.

Luo Xiangfei said: "Once or twice, of course it's okay." But didn't you listen to Xiao Feng, this is a regular activity, and it should be done at least once every six months, right? Besides, the borrowed people, eating, drinking, and Lazar are also an expense, and our rearmament office has limited funds, so we can't afford such a toss. ”

Feng Xiaochen smiled: "That's what I'm going to say." I think that in this exchange meeting, we can reload the office without anyone coming out and not spending a penny. If you get it right, you can still make some money. ”

Luo Xiangfei was also happy, and said: "Haha, just make money, you can make the reloading office not to be out of people, and spend as little money as possible, I will be satisfied." Tell me, what can you do?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "It's very simple, that is, it is to package it out and hand it over to a company to do." We only have one name to help send out the notice. If it's a little darker, we can still collect some profits from this company. If we do what Director Luo said, we don't collect money or spend money, this is the minimum bottom line. ”

"What company will you do it?" Luo Xiangfei asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "It's the information company I just talked about." I invited their boss Bao Chengming to the capital, and I just waited for Director Luo to summon him, and I could let him come to the Heavy Equipment Office to talk about this matter. ”

"I remember you said it was a private company?" Luo Xiangfei asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "It's a private company, but I think it's easier for a private company to cooperate. If we find a large state-owned enterprise to host this exchange meeting, do you think they will be serious?"

This time it was Luo Xiangfei's turn to sigh. As a ministry official who has been engaged in economic management for more than 30 years, Luo Xiangfei has always trusted state-owned enterprises more, and always feels that private enterprises have some informal taste. But he also has to admit that because of the low status of private enterprises, they are somewhat panicked, and they will be more serious in their work. And large state-owned enterprises rely on themselves as the country's own sons, and they have no fear, and many times they will do things that make people speechless.

The most direct example is the Beihua Machine incident last year, Cheng Yuanding just felt that he had a high level and was well-connected, and he didn't take the reloading office seriously at all. In contrast, the private boss Nguyen Phuc Gen has always been trembling, for fear that something will go wrong.

Specific to the technical exchange meeting proposed by Feng Xiaochen, Luo Xiangfei instinctively felt that a large state-owned enterprise should be found to host it, but after a long time in his mind, he couldn't think of any company that could do it. Of course, there are many state-owned enterprises that can undertake large-scale activities, but those that can completely obey the command of the rearmament office and complete the requirements of the rearmament office to the letter may not be easy to find. If it is not done well, it will hurt the relationship between the Heavy Equipment Office and these units, and finally break up unhappily.

Bao Chengming was called over, because Feng Xiaochen had already talked to him about the idea of the technical exchange meeting in advance, he made a plan in advance, and talked eloquently in front of Luo Xiangfei and others, from the organization of the meeting to the management of funds, it was the truth, so that Luo Xiangfei, Wu Shican, and Xue Ducang all nodded, and admitted in their hearts that Feng Xiaochen did recommend a very reliable partner.

What shocked Luo Xiangfei the most was that Bao Chengming took out a stack of floppy disks, and when he opened it on the computer of the reassembled office, it was a detailed database of industrial enterprises across the country, which included not only basic information such as the name, address, and contact number of each enterprise, but also further information such as its product structure and technical level. This information comes from public sources, but no one has ever put it together so seriously. This information doesn't feel very valuable when viewed separately, but when it's compiled into a database, the meaning is completely different.

Wu Shican and Xue Ducang are both knowledgeable people, and when they look at this database, they know that the Mr. Bao in front of them is by no means a turtle who only knows how to make money, he has a long-term vision and knows the value of information.

"Is Mr. Bao willing to sell this database?" Wu Shican couldn't help but ask.

Bao Chengming shook his head in embarrassment and said, "Director Wu, this is difficult to obey." The core resource of our company is this database, and if it is transferred to Director Wu, we ......"

"We are a state agency and will not rob you of your business. Wu Shican said.

Bao Chengming wanted to speak and stopped, but Luo Xiangfei relieved him and said, "Old Wu, let's not make this difficult." Bao always has his concerns, which is understandable. Let's mainly consider how to cooperate with Mr. Bao. ”

"Yes, yes, we are partners, Director Wu wants to check any information, you can speak at any time, we don't take a penny. Bao Chengming said with a smile.

"Well, I've always wanted to build a database like this, but I don't have the manpower. Wu Shican sighed.

After discussing the plan proposed by Bao Chengming and seeing the resources that Bao Chengming has, Luo Xiangfei preliminarily determined the idea of cooperating with Bao Chengming. However, the idea still needs to be submitted to the Economic Commission for approval before it can be implemented.

In addition to the technical exchange conference, the two sides also discussed some regular mechanisms to promote equipment and technology exchanges, including the publication of a technical brief, cooperation in the establishment of a permanent technical exchange institution in Beijing, and so on. These things are handled by Chen Yu Information Company, and the funds come from the commissions collected in the process of facilitating technical exchanges. Chen Yu Information Company promises to accept the management and supervision of the Heavy Equipment Office, keep technical secrets, and hand over a part of the profit share to the Heavy Equipment Office when appropriate, which really achieves the goal that Feng Xiaochen said can make the Heavy Equipment Office profitable.
