Chapter 376: Competing with the Big Three
Two days later, the Shenhai Metro was officially open to bidding, and it is a global nature, participating in the bidding of subway manufacturing enterprises, only Jiuzhou Metro Company in China, the other three are all foreign veteran subway manufacturing giants.
Many of the world's big cities are basically manufactured by these three giant enterprises, and Jiuzhou Metro will compete head-on with such subway companies.
Chen Guihong took a sip of wine, ate a small bite of food, and said with concern: "Brother, all the enterprises participating in the bidding have been decided, a total of four, in addition to you, the other three are the three overseas subway manufacturing veteran enterprises I told you last time."
After finishing speaking, Chen Guihong said again: "No matter what, we are brothers, under the same conditions, I will try my best to help you if I can." ”
Tang Fei said: "Brother Chen, then thank you." ”
Chen Guihong nodded and said, "I have carefully analyzed that you have both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage lies in the advanced performance of your subway, which represents the highest level of subway manufacturing in the world today. The disadvantage is that you are just starting out, and the subway you manufacture has not been used by customers, has not been fully verified, and others may not recognize it. ”
Yes, whether the subway is good or not is not up to you, but to the customer, and the general public has a good reputation after taking it. After being tested in practice, it has been recognized by passengers and trialists, which is really good.
This is also the disadvantage of Jiuzhou Metro Company.
Tang Fei knew this very well and had to admit, "Yes, although our subway is good, it has not been tested in practice and has not been recognized by customers. ”
Because of this, what Tang Fei can do is to make the introduction as detailed as possible, so that his subway can be displayed in front of everyone in an all-round way, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of their own subway and know that their subway has more technical advantages than others.
What are the technical advantages, what are the outstanding features, what are the characteristics, and so on. Under Tang Fei's instructions, Ma Jianwei and the others have made a detailed introduction, full of pictures and texts, and also made 3D demonstration materials.
Chen Guihong said: "Brother, the bidding is presided over by me personally, don't worry, I will try to avoid this, and I will also give you enough time to introduce yourself, so that you can fully introduce and display your products." ”
"Brother Chen, thank you. ”
"Come, drink. Chen Guihong held the wine glass, touched Tang Fei gently, took a sip of wine, and ate a mouthful of food.
Next, he briefly introduced the process of the upcoming bidding, precautions and so on. And arrange the finale appearance of Jiuzhou Metro, and the last one to introduce their own subway.
The two brothers ate this meal for a long time.
The bidding is imminent, and the other three companies participating in the bidding have sent teams and have also arrived in Shenhai City, staying in different hotels.
A five-star hotel in Shenhai City is a veteran subway manufacturer and a giant company in this industry, and the subways used in many large cities in the world are manufactured by them, such as the subways of famous cities such as New York and London.
After staying at the hotel, they gathered together for a short meeting. It is mainly the final preparation before the bidding, precautions, and some reports of the situation of competitors and so on.
For the Shenhai subway, they are determined to win, and they will also use this as a stepping stone to further open up the Chinese subway market.
Team leader Steven, who is also a senior executive at AST, looks around at his subordinates and speaks aloud.
It took more than ten minutes to talk about these matters, and then he began to introduce the situation of the other two opponents, and the competition between them is not a year or two, but a long-term competitive relationship, which can be said to know the roots.
What products the opponent has, what are the competitive advantages, what are the shortcomings, etc., clearly. It was from Steven's words.
He took great care to introduce the situation of the other two opponents, and also briefly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses between himself and his opponents.
After speaking, someone reminded: "Head, we still have a rival, they are a domestic company in Huaxia, it seems to be called Jiuzhou Metro Company." ”
Steven waved his hand: "This company will not be our competitors, don't worry about them, as far as I know, this is just a newly established subway manufacturing company, with no experience in subway manufacturing and no mature products." ”
The meaning is obvious, such a company is not to worry about.
Also in the other two hotels, whether it is XMZ in Germany or Mibayashi in Japan, they are holding internal meetings.
The topics are basically the same, all related to the upcoming tenders. It's the same with them, analyzing the situation of their opponents.
As for Jiuzhou Metro, no company pays attention to it. Because they all know that this is just a newcomer in the field of subway manufacturing, without any subway manufacturing experience, even if they can produce a subway, it is very unbearable.
It is certain that such an enterprise simply does not have the ability to compete on its own. What they need to focus on is their other two competitors, rather than focusing on Jiuzhou Metro.
Gearing up, the competitive tender is about to begin.
The date finally arrived on October 10th, in order to show the importance of the Shenhai Municipal Government to this bidding, the bidding was specially held in the multi-functional conference hall of the Shenhai Municipal Government.
It is a conference hall that can accommodate hundreds of people and is equipped with state-of-the-art multimedia equipment. In order to highlight openness and fairness, in addition to asking many media to participate, there are also many citizen representatives.
These citizen representatives are people from all walks of life, and they represent the main group of people who will use the subway in the future. There are workers, traders, students and teachers, and there are people from enterprises and institutions, almost all walks of life in the entire Shenhai City, and there are two or three hundred people.
It was still very early to bid for bidding at nine o'clock in the morning, and many people rushed over early, and the huge multi-functional conference hall gradually became lively, and many people were in a heated discussion.
"I'm so happy that our subway in Shenhai City has finally started bidding, which means that we will open a subway in the future, so it will be much more convenient to travel. ”
"I just don't know which company will win the bid, and I heard that the three most famous subway manufacturers in the world are participating in this tender, and there will be a very fierce competition. ”
"There are more than three, I got the news, it seems that there are a total of four companies, in addition to the three foreign companies, there is also our own domestic subway manufacturing enterprises. ”
"Oh, and our domestic company, I don't know what kind of company it is, I haven't heard of it before. ”
“……”
As the number of people in the conference hall grew, so did the buzz. Not only the citizen representatives came, but also many media reporters arrived early, carrying a large number of photographic and video equipment, and were busy setting up various cameras.
As the time approached, people from the three overseas companies that participated in the bidding also came and took their seats in the designated area.
The bidding work is very well prepared, the arrangement is also very reasonable, and each enterprise participating in the bidding has a fixed area and reserves enough places.
In addition, the hall is also divided into several large areas, namely the media reporter area, the citizen representative area, in addition to the government representative area, the Shenhai Municipal Government large and small, nearly 100 people at all levels, also participated in and witnessed the bidding.
There were still more than ten minutes before the official bidding, and a convoy came, and it was Tang Fei and a group of twenty or thirty people who got off the car.
In addition to Tang Fei, Ma Jianwei and more than a dozen personnel from Jiuzhou Metro, even Yang Chenglin and others from Jiuzhou Electronics, Zhu Yifeng and others from Jiuzhou Heavy Industry, everyone came.
Everyone hugged Tang Fei and walked into the multi-functional conference hall together. When Tang Fei and the others walked in, the originally noisy and lively conference hall suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Tang Fei and the others.
Some people's eyes lit up and they talked in a low voice, "That's the people of Jiuzhou Metro, our domestic subway manufacturing enterprises." ”
"I don't know how the subway they make is, don't be too bad. ”
“……”
In everyone's eyes and in everyone's whispered discussions, Tang Fei took everyone to sit down in the area belonging to Jiuzhou Metro, and patiently waited for the bidding to officially start.
A few minutes later.
The gradually noisy conference hall suddenly quieted down again, this time, even Tang Fei looked towards the gate of the conference hall, only to see Qiao Junpeng taking the lead, followed by several officials from Shenhai City, and then a group of people from Shenhai City Metro Company, including Chen Guihong, everyone had already entered the door of the conference hall and was walking along the red carpet.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the bidding officially began.
The whole bidding was presided over by Chen Guihong, vice president of Shenhai Metro Company. I saw Chen Guihong talking into the microphone and speaking aloud in standard Mandarin with a Beijing accent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and leaders, good morning! First of all, let me introduce the leaders and business representatives who have come to us for this bidding. ”
Chen Guihong introduced Qiao Junpeng and other leaders, and also introduced the representatives of the four participating bidding enterprises, and from time to time, the conference hall resounded with warm applause.
After the introduction, Chen Guihong said loudly, "The bidding for Shenhai Metro Line 1 is now officially opened, and I will first introduce the situation of Line 1 to you." ”
"Line 1 will be the first line of our Shenhai subway to be completed and operated, planned in the first half of 2002, the whole line of electric communication, in the second half of 2003 officially opened to trial operation, the whole line has 30 stations, the use of standard gauge, the use of A-type cars, 6 car ......"
With Chen Guihong's introduction, the entire conference hall was completely quiet, and the huge color display screen showed the introduction of Line 1 with pictures and texts.
Everyone listened carefully to Chen Guihong's introduction, and looked carefully at the introduction materials on the color display screen, as you know, the bidding officially began.
