Three years ago, coordinated by the Heavy Equipment Office, the state introduced 40 150-ton electric wheel dump trucks from the well-known American mining machinery manufacturer Heidingsfield. According to the contract, 20 of the 40 dump trucks were manufactured in the United States, and the other 20 were manufactured by Luoqiu Metallurgical Machinery Factory.

This method is the very popular "market for technology" method in the 80s, if Haifei wants to get the Chinese market, it must come up with technology for exchange, otherwise China will turn to Haifei's competitors to purchase these dump trucks. If China is a small country, such a request will naturally not be responded, but China is a big country that all equipment giants dare not despise, and no one can imagine the result of losing the Chinese market, so the market for technology is very common.

Of course, foreign equipment enterprises have agreed to transfer technology to China, and there are other ideas. Some companies feel that China's technology level is too low to really master these high-end technologies, and even if they agree to transfer technology, they will not suffer anything in the end. There are also some companies that want to go even further, and they transfer seventy or eighty percent of their technology to the Chinese side, leaving a small number of key technologies for the Chinese side's neck. For example, if the Chinese side wants to manufacture such equipment by itself, it must purchase these parts from the foreign party, and the foreign party can sell these parts at the price of a piece of equipment to earn greater profits.

Similar to this trick, companies in Europe and the United States have also used it in some countries in Southeast Asia and South America, and they have tried it repeatedly.

Luo Ye accepted the 150-ton electric wheel dump truck manufacturing technology transferred by Haifei, and it also involved some key technologies that the other party did not agree to transfer, which was no way. However, Haifei did not benefit from the monopoly of these key technologies, because Luo Ye is not a rookie, it has independently developed a 120-ton electric wheel dump truck, and has a very thick technical accumulation. After digesting the part of the technology transferred by Haifei, Luo Ye organized technical research, broke through several technical barriers blocked by Haifei, and realized the localization of key components.

Today, the 150-ton dump truck independently produced by Luo Ye is almost the same as the original import from Haifei, but the price is about two percent lower, and the most important point is that the purchase of Luo Ye's dump truck does not need to use precious foreign exchange, which is very meaningful for China, which is extremely tight on foreign exchange.

Luo Ye's factory leaders are full of confidence and feel that with such an artifact as a 150-ton dump truck, Luo Ye will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the next 20 years. But who would have thought that there was a breakthrough in technology, but the market did not get it. Luo Ye originally planned to sell more than 40 150-ton dump trucks in the domestic market every year, but last year the order was less than 20 vehicles, which was also thanks to Feng Xiaochen who won the Honghedu copper mine for them that year. Because Feng Xiaochen convinced Zou Bingzheng, the old director of the Honghedu Mining Bureau, Honghedu Copper Mine became a hardcore user of Luoye, and last year's order of less than 20 vehicles included 8 vehicles provided by Honghedu.

Seeing that there was no rice to cook, Luo Ye's factory leaders panicked and began to carry out tense public relations, sending personnel to various mines to contact feelings and sell dump trucks. Wang Weilong, because he had been seconded to the Metallurgical Bureau of the Economic Commission, was Luo Xiangfei's old subordinate, so he was assigned by the factory director to go to the capital to find the Heavy Equipment Office to help coordinate. As Luo Xiangfei said, after Wang Weilong arrived in the capital, in addition to complaining to Luo Xiangfei, he really went to the Academy of Social Sciences to find Feng Xiaochen, but it was only because Feng Xiaochen went out for a meeting that the two did not meet.

"Lao Wang, I'm just a poor student now, what are you looking for me?"

Looking at Wang Weilong, who was called by Luo Xiangfei on the phone, Feng Xiaochen asked with a smile.

"Of course, I was looking for you to save the scene. Wang Weilong said, "Last time you went to Honghedu, you persuaded Director Zou, and now Director Zou has become a strong backing for our Luo Ye, not only to purchase dump trucks from us, but also to take out a sum of money to co-establish a Honghedu Mining Machinery Research Institute with us, almost free to help us do industrial tests." Our factory director said, please Xiao Feng, you work hard, help us contact ten more mines like Honghedu, our business is enough. ”

"Lao Wang, you kill me. Just a family crossed the Red River, and I almost didn't let Lao Zou abolish me. Do you think it's so easy to move an old leader like Lao Zou? You think I'm Zhuge Liang?" Feng Xiaochen rebuked angrily.

Wang Weilong's words were naturally a joke, the model of the Red River Crossing cannot be replicated, and it is not easy to find a unit leader like Zou Bingzheng who has a sense of the overall situation. Even if they can convince the leaders of several units, they may not be able to monopolize power like Zou Bingzheng and have the final say alone. If it is a collective decision-making, the vast majority of enterprises will start from their own interests, which is also the mainstream nowadays.

"Actually, when I came to the capital this time, I mainly wanted to take the road of rearmament. Wang Weilong changed his words and said to Luo Xiangfei, "Director Luo, the introduction of the 150-ton dump truck project was led by the Heavy Equipment Office, and the purpose of the introduction is to realize the localization of heavy-duty dump trucks. Now we have completed the technical research and development tasks delivered by the Heavy Equipment Office, and invested a huge amount of money to purchase equipment and establish a production line. At this time, the mines are unwilling to accept our products, and the Heavy Equipment Office has the obligation to come out to help us coordinate. ”

Luo Xiangfei sighed: "Xiao Wang, what you said, where do I not know? You are the best one to digest and absorb the equipment technology introduced by the Heavy Equipment Office in the past few years. Of course, there are objective reasons for this, after all, the technical complexity of dump trucks is much worse than that of large fertilizers and thermal power units. You have taken the lead in realizing the full localization of equipment, and the rearmament office should set up your model no matter what.

But the current situation, as you know, has also decentralized, and it is difficult for us to give orders to the mines as we did in the past. Even in the past, it took some words to persuade the mine to accept domestic equipment. Now it's even more difficult. I won't tell you, I've been helping you contact this matter for the past few days, and Lao Pan of the Lengshui Mine promised to ask for 4 units, speaking of which, this matter is also related to Xiao Feng. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xiangfei smiled helplessly. When he called Lengshui Mine, Pan Caishan, the mine manager of Lengshui Mine, agreed very happily, but then said another sentence, saying that it was for Feng Xiaochen's sake. This made Luo Xiangfei very unhappy, but he had to admit that the relationship between an enterprise like Lengshui Mine and the higher-level authorities was really not to this extent, if it were not for the good fortune that Feng Xiaochen accumulated in Lengshui Mine back then, Pan Caishan probably would not have given face like this.

"Look, Xiao Feng, after talking for a long time, you still have to get out of the horse, don't you?" Wang Weilong turned his head to Feng Xiaochen, half teasing and half serious.

Feng Xiaochen did not answer Wang Weilong's words, but asked Luo Xiangfei: "Director Luo, can't we ask the Economic Commission and the Planning Commission to jointly issue a document stipulating that equipment that can be localized must be procured domestically, so that there is no question of who will sell face." Luo Ye's situation is probably not a special case, and the affairs of the state can't always be solved by private face, right?"

"That's for sure. Wang Weilong said, after that, he said to Feng Xiaochen with a smile on his face: "But, Xiao Feng, brother, I can't wait for the country to come out with a policy now, our Luo Ye is about to run out of food, so you can help my brother." Think about it, which of us is with whom. ”

These words are somewhat similar to Laipi, and it can be seen that Wang Weilong is indeed quite helpless, so he has to play the emotional card with Feng Xiaochen. He actually didn't know how Feng Xiaochen could help him, but Feng Xiaochen's past performance was too rebellious, which gave Wang Weilong some almost superstitious worship. He even felt that in the current situation, Luo Xiangfei's appearance was not as effective as Feng Xiaochen's. Luo Xiangfei can only think of a way from within the system, but the current system is based on decentralization, Luo Xiangfei has no power in his hands, and it is difficult to make a difference. But Feng Xiaochen is different, he has always been eclectic in doing things, borrowing whatever power he has, and being able to create power when he doesn't have power. What Wang Weilong needs now is such a person.

Luo Xiangfei said: "Xiao Feng, let's see if the Academy of Social Sciences can walk away." If you can walk away, you can help Xiao Wang diagnose them and see if there is any way for them to get through the difficulties in front of them first. As for the policy side, I will continue to work hard, the idea you just said is good, we should indeed have a domestic procurement requirement. However, I am afraid that it is not enough for the Economic Commission and the Planning Commission to issue this document, and it is necessary to coordinate more units, and this will take time. ”

Feng Xiaochen didn't immediately agree to help Wang Weilong, in fact, he was also worried about Luo Xiangfei's face. He is no longer a person who has been reloaded, and he has to go out by himself if he finds something that cannot be solved by the reloading office, which will inevitably make Luo Xiangfei feel faceless. Now that Luo Xiangfei has spoken, Feng Xiaochen has no reason to shirk, he nodded and said, "Director Luo, don't worry." At the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, I have a few courses that I am exempt from, so I have plenty of time. I have also contacted Director Wang's side in the past, so I'd better start and finish well. However, I don't know the specific situation yet, and I can't say how I can help Director Wang solve the current dilemma. ”

"Whatever you want to know, I can tell you. Wang Weilong said.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "I don't want to listen to you, I have to go to your factory to actually take a look." Also, there are some things that you don't have to dictate, right?"
