Chapter 360: A Big Stupid Thing
Eating with bigwigs like Liang Xiaofeng and Song Mingsheng, you can hear a lot of interesting anecdotes and information.
For example, Song Mingsheng, when he was drinking, told an interesting story about their Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission.
It is said that when an old comrade held a meeting to discuss a trip to the United States, he made a joke, thinking that the counties in the United States were the same size as the counties in our country.
After Song Mingsheng finished speaking, everyone's faces had a little more smile and emotion.
Liang Xiaofeng sighed lightly and said: "Lao Song's example is a good example! The spring breeze of our country's reform and opening up has already blown all over the land of China, and going abroad is nothing new. ”
"But when you go abroad, you don't just talk about it, you must first have a certain understanding of the world economic situation. In this regard, many cadres of our organs and institutions need to further improve their mentality and thinking!"
Zhao Guoyang, who was sitting next to Liang Xiaofeng, secretly praised in his heart when he heard this.
Indeed, Director Liang's conclusion is completely correct.
In the early 90s, China's reform and opening up entered a new period, and the influx of foreign capital could be described as a tide, and many departments had to come into contact with this aspect when dealing with problems.
In such a historical environment, how to "survive a hundred battles" and not be deceived by some foreign businessmen who sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, which is uneven, will test the judgment and insight of leading cadres.
After Liang Xiaofeng finished telling this little story, Song Mingsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lao Liang's words are indeed thought-provoking. ”
"Imagine that our Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission should have the most contact with this information among our municipal departments, right? It can be seen that the improvement of the quality and knowledge of our cadres is imminent. ”
After Song Mingsheng finished speaking, the conference room fell silent for a while.
In the face of the complicated situation faced by the city and their own departments, everyone's mood is a little heavy, just sullen drinking.
After a while, Zheng Hongxia put down her wine glass and said slowly: "Speaking of the improvement of capabilities in all aspects, it is not only our municipal departments, but also some of the state-owned and private enterprises we manage below!"
Zheng Hongxia showed a look of regret on her face, and said in a low tone: "A few days ago, when I went to inspect the following factories, I encountered an incident. Our Songjiang Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory, everyone has heard of it, right?"
As soon as Zheng Hongxia's words fell, Liang Xiaofeng, Song Mingsheng and others nodded one after another. It can be seen that this company is still very well-known in Songjiang City.
Similarly, hearing the seven words "Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory", Zhao Guoyang's eyes suddenly lit up.
He'd already received two or three calls from Suzanne during this time. All of them complained about the poor quality and inefficiency of the excavation machinery of niobium-tantalum ore.
In this regard, although Zhao Guoyang has asked Mu Yiyi to learn about the situation of British JCB as soon as possible, this matter needs a process.
After all, Zhao Guoyang does not simply want to import its mining equipment from JCB, but wants to cooperate with it in technology to produce these heavy machinery in China.
Therefore, his explanation to Mu Yiyi was to let her get in touch step by step and learn as much as possible about JCB.
Zhao Guoyang knows very well in his heart that people in England are very particular about doing business.
If you're not sincere enough and want to play some little tricks, people won't bother to pay attention to you.
Of course, it is not impossible to directly ask Suzanne to purchase a few mining machines from JCB.
But then the overhead is simply too high.
Because of Samba's side, Zhao Guoyang and Suzanne set a plan to develop into a large-scale mining enterprise with multi-mineral development step by step.
Therefore, all kinds of machinery in the open air and underground must be purchased.
There is no doubt that sub-rock drills, surface drilling rigs, underground drilling rigs, mining shovel excavators, and front-end loaders are indispensable.
In addition, rock grabbers, rock loaders, loaders, double-arm loaders, raisehole drilling rigs, shaft drilling rigs, roadway boring machines, drilling machinery, workover machinery, etc., also need to be prepared.
In such a situation, if most of the equipment is purchased from JCB, it is definitely a staggering amount of money.
Therefore, for the time being, Zhao Guoyang just asked Suzanne to purchase some usable and second-hand mining equipment from Samba Country first.
First of all, it is ensured that the mining of this niobium-tantalum ore can be operated and has certain economic benefits. Then on my own side, I will slowly find a way to continuously improve the mining equipment.
Originally, Zhao Guoyang had already decided to start working on mining equipment after a while.
At this time, after hearing Zheng Hongxia mention the mining machinery and equipment factory in Songjiang City, he had a feeling of "sleepy and someone sent a pillow".
Therefore, after Zheng Hongxia spoke, he put down his wine glass, sat up straight, and pricked up his ears.
Seeing Zhao Guoyang also listening attentively, Zheng Hongxia, a "storyteller", suddenly felt valued.
She smiled at Zhao Guoyang beside her and continued: "When I went to investigate our Songjiang Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory this time, I heard from their director that he did a big stupid thing not long ago. I said that I just rejected the cooperation of the island country Kubota Company before, and now I regret it......"
"Kubota?" Hearing this name, the bigwigs present were a little puzzled, obviously not knowing much about this company.
Liang Hongjun's eyes rolled, and he thought of a mechanical "jack-of-all-trades" beside him.
At this point, Liang Hongjun smiled and patted Zhao Guoyang's shoulder and said, "Guoyang, we don't know about this 'Kubota', can you popularize our knowledge?"
Hearing this, Zheng Hongxia was the first to applaud. She smiled gently: "Yes, Comrade Xiao Zhao, although it is not the first time I have heard of this 'Kubota' company, I don't know much about it. ”
"Now I've finally met you, a 'special researcher', and I'm just going to ask for advice!"
Seeing everyone's gaze, Zhao Guoyang didn't shirk, he bowed his head lightly at the moment, sorted out his thoughts, and said unhurriedly.
"The Kubota Group, founded in 1890, is the largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery in the island nation and one of the top five companies in the world in the production of heavy machinery, with a strong reputation in the industry. ”
"The Kubota Group operates in a wide range of locations around the world, including Asia, the Americas, and Europe, and its subsidiaries and affiliates are located all over the world. In the fields of agricultural machinery, small construction machinery, small diesel engines, cast iron pipes, etc., it is in the forefront of the world. ”
Zhao Guoyang paused and continued: "In the seventies, Kubota began to get involved in the excavator industry. ”
It took only five years for Kubota to catch up with the world's top excavator company, Caterpillar Company. Since then, it has been among the top in the world......"
"I've read a foreign report before, and it seems that Kubota is very interested in the scale of our domestic agricultural equipment and mining equipment, and has plans to build a joint venture factory in China. ”
"Director Zheng said that the company found Songjiang Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory before, and it seems to confirm the authenticity of the report!"
After listening to Zhao Guoyang's story, Zheng Hongxia sighed helplessly and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, it would be nice if I met you earlier......
"When I went to inspect not long ago, I happened to hear Director Li of Songjiang Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory talk about it. ”
"I can see that Director Li is very sorry for not being able to cooperate with this 'Kubota', and I heard him say that 'Kubota' has now completed the preliminary cooperation negotiations with a company in Ludong, and I really regret it......
When Zheng Hongxia said this, everyone at the wine table showed a trace of regret on their faces.
Obviously, after Zhao Guoyang introduced the strength of this "Kubota Company", several bigwigs felt that it was a pity that Songjiang Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory failed to cooperate with others.
Because Songjiang Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory is under the dual management of the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau and the Machinery and Electronics Industry Bureau, Liang Xiaofeng is the one who sighs the most.
He raised his glass, took a sullen breath, and said dejectedly, "Hey...... Such a good opportunity for cooperation was given to Ludong Province in vain. ”
"Director Zheng, I heard that the production of Songjiang Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory has gradually stagnated, and he Li Zhaohe is not having a good time now, right?"
When Zheng Hongxia heard this, she responded: "Yes, when I went to inspect before, Director Li had already revealed the intention of retiring. ”
"No way, now in all provinces across the country, there are almost all mining equipment factories. In the past, the situation of our Songjiang Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory being a monopoly has long been gone. ”
Director Li couldn't accept such a reality, and he could only be gradually eliminated. ”
Zheng Hongxia's words are deeply accepted by everyone.
Although it is none of their business, for the downfall of Li Zhaohe, who was once a man of the year in Songjiang City, Lu Shunping and Zhou Jianli also have the heart of "rabbit death and fox sadness".
Liang Xiaofeng drank a glass of stuffy wine, and when he looked up with melancholy, he happened to catch a glimpse of the indifferent look on Zhao Guoyang's face.
As soon as he saw Zhao Guoyang's relaxed expression, Director Liang suddenly came to his senses.
He knows Zhao Guoyang, this young man has a patriotic heart in his bones, but he is not the kind of person who only cares about gains and losses.
Since he is not melancholy with his people now, he must feel that this Songjiang Mining Machinery and Equipment Factory can still be saved!
Thinking of this, Liang Xiaofeng asked Zhao Guoyang directly: "Guoyang, brother, I haven't asked you anything seriously since I met you, right?" But today's matter, brother, I opened my mouth with a thick face, Guoyang, you must help!"
Liang Xiaofeng's serious appearance surprised several bigwigs in the box.
Zhao Guoyang didn't expect Director Liang to say this, and was slightly stunned, but he also guessed a little bit of the reason.
