Seeing that Chen Guihong's expression lit up, Tang Fei smiled lightly, "Brother Chen, before I can help you, you must first tell me what kind of tricky things you have encountered." ”

"Hmm. Chen Guihong nodded, and then said what he was facing without reservation. After listening, Tang Fei said in his heart, sure enough, his guess was not wrong.

The main project of subway construction lies in the excavation of underground tunnels. The most advanced engineering equipment for tunnel excavation is the shield machine.

The excavation speed of this kind of machinery is not comparable to that of manual labor, the speed is very fast, and it can also prevent the collapse of the ground, settlement, and a series of advantages such as taking up a small space.

A shield is a type of tunnel boring machine that uses the shield method.

The construction method of shield is that the TBM builds (lays) supporting segments (the "shield" of the tunnel) at the same time as excavating, which is safe and efficient. This is also the most advanced method of tunnelling at present.

Shenhai Metro Line 1 is under intense construction, and will also construct Line 2 and Line 3 in the future. The shield method accounts for more than half of the total amount of tunnel construction, which requires a shield machine.

At present, there are several shield machines in Shenhai City, all of which are imported from Japan, but this is not enough, and at least two or three more need to be added.

Although the cost of the shield machine is high, it can improve the tunneling efficiency of the subway tunnel by 8 to 10 times, and in the construction process, there is no large-scale demolition on the ground, no traffic is blocked, there is no noise in the construction, the ground does not settle, and it does not affect the normal life of residents.

In the construction of subway tunnels in Shenhai City, the most important construction machinery is the current shield machine. However, in order to speed up the project and prepare for the construction of subway lines such as Line 2 and Line 3 in the future, it is necessary to purchase several more shield machines, at least two or three.

Chen Guihong, as the deputy general manager of Shenhai Metro Company, is responsible for the construction management of the subway project, the shortage of shield machines, the construction direction Chen Guihong for help, hoping that Chen Guihong will help contact and import several advanced large shield machines.

After understanding what was going on, Tang Fei said: "Actually, Japan's shield machine is not the best in the world, the best should be the German shield machine. ”

Chen Guihong said: "Yes, the best is the German shield machine, but the price is also more expensive, and in order not to exceed the budget, we prefer a relatively slightly cheaper Japanese shield machine, but these Japanese are too difficult to serve, knowing that we urgently need the shield machine, the price of each unit has risen by 10 million." ”

It rose by 10 million all of a sudden, no wonder Chen Guihong was difficult to accept.

Tang Fei reminded: "Brother Chen, their price increase is estimated to be only one of them, if you really buy their shield machine, in the future, if the shield machine is broken and needs to be repaired, it is estimated that the replacement of spare parts will also be very expensive." ”

This has to be reminded.

The Japanese often sell their products cheaper, giving you a sense of good quality and low price, and once you buy their products, when you need to repair them in the future, you will know that their spare parts are not generally expensive.

Overall, you will find that it is not cheap at all, and it is even much more expensive than European and American products. Tang Fei knew this well and immediately reminded Chen Guihong.

Chen Guihong said: "Yes, their spare parts replacement is indeed very expensive, expensive to the point that you dare not imagine, not long ago, one of our shield machines failed, called the Japanese to come to repair, these Japanese after a look, told us that we need to replace a part. ”

"I think, it's just a matter of replacing an accessory, it's not a big deal, then change it, after I signed it, I found that such a small accessory actually cost hundreds of thousands, and I could only grit my teeth and endure it. ”

Tang Fei said: "Brother Chen, so I suggest that you don't buy Japanese shield machines anymore, but import them from Europe and the United States instead." ”

The shield machines in Europe and the United States are of better quality and more advanced in performance. Although the price may be slightly higher when you first buy it, the after-sales service cost in the future will also be less.

Chen Guihong sighed softly, "This is not easy to say, without a certain channel, it is impossible to purchase the shield machine we need from Europe and the United States in a short period of time." ”

The Shenhai subway is under construction day and night, and the construction period is very tight, so it is necessary to add a shield machine immediately. In order to save time, this is also the reason why Chen Guihong asked the Japanese to buy it.

The previous shield machines were imported from Japan, and if you buy two or three more, the cycle should be shorter, and as long as the price is negotiated, the Japanese should be able to ship them immediately.

It's just that I didn't think about it, the appetite of the Japanese was too big, and the price of each unit rose by 10 million all of a sudden, and Chen Guihong couldn't accept it.

In the past few days, he has been negotiating with these Japanese, hoping to lower the price. After a few days, Chen Guihong knew that it was unlikely that the Japanese would take the initiative to reduce prices.

Only then did he feel more distressed, and when he came over, he had the taste of borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.

Once, he also thought about using the connections in the family to tell the old man about the matter, and let the old man come forward to help him deal with this matter.

But after thinking about it, I still dispelled this thought. If you look for the old man for everything, it will make the old man feel that he has no ability, just like a child who has not grown up, and thinks about finding a family whenever something happens, and cannot take the initiative to solve it himself.

Chen Guihong said: "Although the European and American shield machines are good, I am afraid that far water will not quench the thirst of the near. ”

Tang Fei thought for a while and said: "That's not certain, I still have a certain relationship with some European and American manufacturing companies, otherwise, I'll help you contact you to give it a try." ”

Hearing this, Chen Guihong was overjoyed.

Just like a drowning person, exhausted, and about to sink when someone suddenly throws a lifebuoy, this joy of survival in a desperate situation cannot be described with pen and ink.

"Brother, you have a way!"

Chen Guihong's eyes lit up completely, he knew that Tang Fei would definitely not say this if he didn't have a certain certainty, and all of a sudden, he saw hope.

Tang Fei didn't say anything to death, "Brother Chen, I'll help you contact and give it a try." ”

"Brother, then please. ”

If you don't use the relationships in the family, you can rely on Tang Fei to get things done, that must be the best. Chen Guihong's heart gradually relaxed.

"Come, brother, let's toast!"

Chen Guihong, who was in a good mood, took the initiative to touch Tang Fei with a wine glass, raised his head and took a big sip of wine, and then said, "Come and eat, this dish is really good." ”

Seeing Chen Guihong so happy, Tang Fei smiled kindly.

To be honest, Tang Fei really has some ways. There are many European and American companies using their own products, such as various servo motors, various IGBT products.

Many of these things are used in various engineering equipment, among which there is a German company, which is a customer of Jiuzhou Industrial Group, which purchases a lot of the above products from Jiuzhou Industry every year, and among the products manufactured by this German company, there are large shield machines.

In front of Chen Guihong, Tang Fei took out his mobile phone and made a long-distance call to the president of the German manufacturing company.

"Hello, Mr. Kramer!"

"Don, it's you, it's such an honor to receive a call from you personally. ”

Tang Fei said: "Mr. Kramer, it's like this, I have a friend who needs several large shield machines for the construction of subway tunnels, and I think you must have the goods." ”

Kramer said: "We have ready-made products, but as you know, they are restricted from export, and if your friend wants to buy them, it will be more troublesome." ”

Tang Fei said: "I don't care about these, this friend of mine wants to buy them in a short time, and I think you can handle other things." ”

Kramer said: "Maybe yes, it's not good to talk about these things on the phone, otherwise, I'll send someone to Huaxia." ”

Tang Fei said: "It's better for you to come in person, I'm in Shenhai City, you come to me, I want to order servo motors, IGBT products, etc., we can also have a good talk." ”

"Really, that's great, I'll book my ticket right away, and I'll be in Deep Sea City soon. ”

As long as he sells a few shield machines to Tang Fei's friend, he can get a lot of benefits in the order of servo motors and IGBT products.

Don't think it's easy to order these products from Jiuzhou Industry, in the current situation of short supply, Jiuzhou Industry has been increasing its production capacity on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has also restricted the purchase of customers.

Limited things, it is impossible to be ordered by a few large customers in one go, each customer has an order limit, and they have to queue up in order of order.

Typical hands are fast, hands are slow.

This German manufacturing company orders a lot of various types of motors and a lot of IGBT products from Jiuzhou Industry every year, but it is also the same as other companies, waiting in line, and there are order ceiling restrictions.

It would be good if I could sell Tang Fei's friend a few shield machines in exchange for a chance to cut in line and not have to wait in line with other companies.

Knowing this, Kramer agreed and would rush to Deep Sea City immediately.

Seeing that Tang Fei finished the phone call and basically got this matter done, Chen Guihong was not only happy, but also admired, and gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother, cattle!"

Tang Fei said: "If it's fast, tomorrow, if it's slow, the day after tomorrow, Kramer will definitely go to Shenhai City, and we'll talk to him in detail then." ”

"Okay, it's up to you. ”

Things saw hope, Chen Guihong was relaxed and happy, drinking wine, eating food, and chatting with Tang Fei. The two brothers talked for a long time before going back.

Kramer came quickly.

In the afternoon of the next day, he arrived at Shenhai International Airport, walked out of the airport with his assistant, and immediately saw people holding signs to greet him.

This was arranged by Chen Guihong, and he arranged for people and cars to wait outside the airport early, and after picking up Kramer, he went to the Shenhai City Metro Company.

In the office, Chen Guihong was already waiting for Kramer's arrival.

Tang Fei was also in Chen Guihong's office, and Chen Guihong said: "Brother, our people have already received Kramer and are on their way back. ”

……

Today's three watches, the first one is sent.
