Chapter 281: The propeller is scrapped
"What's the situation?" Meng Jianye asked.
"The propeller built in the foundry workshop has been scrapped again, and the foreign shipowner is making trouble in the workshop, clamoring to see you. Assistant Xiao Zhong seemed very anxious.
Today's No. 2 branch factory undertakes the construction of 053H2 missile frigates, but the dock is not empty, but is still building a new 5,000-ton container ship of New Zealand Trade Wind Shipping Company. ”
……
Alfred Rutherford is very angry today, as the manager of the ship technology department of New Zealand Trade Wind Shipping, he was really fond of Endeavour, the Chinese shipyard that once created the miracle of hurricanes.
Because the 3,000-ton bulk carrier built by Endeavor really brought their company unparalleled prestige and unimaginable profits, and because of this, when Trade Wind expanded its fleet again due to business growth, it did not even think about handing over the construction contract of the most important 5,000-ton container ship to Endeavour.
Originally, I thought that Endeavor Factory would continue the high quality of the 3,000-ton bulk carrier and build a high-quality container ship.
As a result, Rutherford found out that he was wrong, because Endeavor couldn't even make a propeller.
At first, he didn't care, after all, the propeller thing looks simple, but it's actually quite complicated, and Rutherford, although he is not very proficient in technology, still understands the rough knowledge, and understands the failure of Endeavour in some aspects.
The question is, if you fail once or twice, what does it mean to fail more than 10 times in less than half a year? You must know that it is all to be included in the cost of shipbuilding, and if this is settled at the end of the year, what should the trade wind company think of him? Take the company's money and train China's propeller manufacturing team?
If so, Endeavor can come up with qualified propellers, Rutherford also endured, after all, it's all for the ship, as long as the quality of the ship is excellent, this little money is nothing, but why are the ships about to be launched, and the propeller still can't figure out what it means?
A blatant delay?
Rutherford finally couldn't bear it anymore, and directly approached the leaders of the headquarters of Endeavour Factory, and directly asked that the propellers of Endeavor no longer be used and purchased from other factories that have the ability to manufacture such products.
The leaders of the headquarters of Endeavour agreed very happily, but more than a week later, when Rutherford conducted a routine quality inspection of the ship as the shipowner, he found that Endeavor did not purchase at all, but continued to build it by himself, and once again scrapped it without accident.
Forget about going back on your word, without prior notice, the key is that it is scrapped again, Rutherford only felt that his IQ had been greatly insulted, and finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and completely exploded.
"I told you more than a week ago, since the technology is not up to par, don't do it, change your mind, what will happen to you?
"Mr. Rutherford, rest assured, the factory guarantees that it will give you a satisfactory explanation. ”
"Mr. Liu, I don't know what to explain, I only know the contract, there is still half a month, if you can't go into the water according to the contract, I can only ask your company to pay liquidated damages. ”
"Mr. Rutherford, you listen to my explanation......"
"Mr. Liu, I've listened to enough explanations......"
……
As soon as Meng Jianye walked to the door of the foundry workshop, he heard the conversation inside, and it was Liu Hao, who was negotiating with Rutherford, who was one step ahead, and now he was in a team with Meng Jianye, and he was also a senior party official of the second branch factory, which also proved from the side that the headquarters of Endeavor Factory attached great importance to the 053H2 missile frigate.
It's just that Liu Hao was anxious by Rutherford at this moment, if it was okay in the past, it would be a big deal to spend more words to explain and explain, and then go to a good restaurant nearby to have a meal to calm down.
But today, I don't know what bad luck happened, the Pakistani superintendent Aikta, who had just entered the factory and was in charge of supervising the construction of the integrated supply ship, also came here to "watch the excitement" in the name of investigation.
If this is not handled well, all of them will be seen by the Pakistani side, what should they think? Is the Endeavor Factory's technical ability not good? What if the Pakistani side cancels the comprehensive supply ship built by the Endeavor Factory?
Secretary Liu's head was very messy, and the explanation was blunt and illogical, which made Rutherford angry and annoyed, and dropped a sentence: "I am very disappointed in your factory." ”
He ignored Liu Hao anymore, turned around and left, and happened to bump into Meng Jianye, who came in a hurry.
"I'm so disappointed in you, it's the worst shipyard I've ever seen. Looking at the way blocked by Meng Jianye and the others, Rutherford yelled quietly, then turned sideways, bypassed Meng Jianye and the others, and prepared to leave.
Meng Jianye was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked in English: "Is Ms. Rebecca of the Trade Winds Company okay? I heard that she is about to get married." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around were stunned, but there was no way that the content of this sentence was too inconsistent with the current tense atmosphere, so that many people had a feeling of going to the wrong set.
Rutherford was the same, but the next moment he realized something, stopped, looked back at Meng Jianye, his eyes were full of doubts, but Meng Jianye smiled and continued: "Don't look at me with such eyes, introduce yourself, my name is Meng Jianye, and I am a friend of Yuan." ”
Yuan, is Yuan Yuejin, the professional liar who got the Australian Melbourne back to China with He Cheng, since then Yuan Yuejin has been whitewashed with He Cheng and founded a shipping company under the name of Endeavor Shipping Co., Ltd.
As the so-called easy to change the nature of the country is difficult to change, although Yuan Yuejin, a big liar, is whitewashed, but he can't bear the loneliness, fortunately, this gentleman is still a little measured, and he didn't do that in his career, but there is not so much estimation in the love field, in Yuan Yuejin's original words, you can't dominate one side and open a harem in China, and you have to raise your country's prestige on the belly of foreign girls abroad.
So Yuan Yuejin, the scourge, completely let go of himself in the pile of women in Oceania, and promoted his country's prestige in all kinds of ways, until he met Rebecca, the only daughter of William Evans, the president of the Trade Winds Company, and this Yang Wei foreign warrior completely fell.
Meng Jianye remembered that when He Cheng told him about this, he was also embarrassed, because he really didn't know how to describe it, was it a prodigal son? Or was it ridiculous nonsense? You must know that Rebecca was only sixteen years old when he was hooked up with by Lao Yuan, and he himself was a greasy uncle who was about to run for four, so it was really hard to evaluate at that time.
However, today, Meng Jianye can finally make a two-word comment from the bottom of his heart, that is, admiration, because no matter what, exposing Lao Yuan's name, even if he is a person like Rutherford, he has to stop and turn back.
