Chapter 154: In the Dark
900,000 US dollars, according to the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar at that time, that is, the amount of more than 7 million, if it is a company specializing in reagent consumables in the province, it is basically equivalent to its annual turnover.
One Liu Hongming, one Liu Weiming, both of them have the surname Liu, and their names are similar, but Lu Tao met them, and more coincidentally, they are all competitive.
Regardless of the customers who can't run the school anymore, Lu Tao first called the optoelectronic company and introduced the situation to them, and now he wants to cooperate with the optoelectronic company, and the recommended products are also their products, and suddenly a competitor emerges, so you must first talk to the manufacturer, as for how to deal with it next, you also need to discuss more on both sides, otherwise when you see the duck that is about to cook fly into someone else's bowl, don't mention the depression.
It is not easy to encounter a project itself, and it is even more difficult to meet a project without any competition, originally Lu Tao thought that there was a relationship between Ning Xiaodong's side, and the deputy director Ling Ping's side is now quite passable, plus the technology is all done by manufacturers, there should be no mistakes, but now he has found out that things that can make money, to say that there are no competitors to disrupt the situation, it can be said that it is impossible.
dialed the phone number of the optoelectronic company, Lu Tao was a little anxious, and directly asked the situation from there.
Before the optoelectronic company called him every time to talk about the degree of project progress and some specific requirements of the customer, etc., Lu Tao also asked many times whether there was a similar product on the market that was enough to match it, and the answer he got was that at present, they could do it, and it was with such a guarantee that Lu Tao felt that he was nine out of ten.
To know which link has a problem in order to solve it in a targeted manner, Lu Tao asked directly: "Manager Hu, how has your company talked with the analysis and testing center recently?"
What is asked, naturally, is the technical level, and the business aspect is mainly done by Lu Tao himself.
"Manager Lu, I have communicated with Mr. Lu many times in the early stage of the project, and we are very recognized for our products, and now the main thing is that you should follow up more and see when they will bid for the tender. ”
"Have you heard some other news?" The cooperation between the two sides is to be honest, and Lu Tao did not hesitate.
"No, it's been a good conversation. Manager Hu thought about it for a while, a big project in itself, as a manufacturer, is also very important, usually he does not pay much attention, as soon as there is any news, he will notify Lu Tao, now Lu Tao to ask, naturally there is nothing to hide.
"Then let me ask, do you know about Marian?"
Manager Hu was silent for a moment: "Marie, what they have been doing has always been focused on medical equipment, it has nothing to do with us, right?"
Lu Tao listened to the tone over there, felt that the problem should not be with the manufacturer, thought for a while, and said: "I received some news here, that is, Marian seems to be planning to participate in this project, so I will ask you first." ”
"You can rest assured, as far as our products are concerned, there is no substitute on the market, besides, they make medical equipment, and we are engaged in the competition of scientific research equipment, even the teacher can't get by." ”
Manager Hu replied with a smile, thinking that Lu Tao was completely worrying about the sky, of course, as a manufacturer, he also knew about some competitors, and he had this confidence.
Since the problem is not in this, Lu Tao couldn't help but ponder, and said from Liu Hongming's mouth, what can match the number is the double focusing magnetic mass spectrometry of the optoelectronic company, he heard it right, and Liu Hongming's tone at that time was not like a simple boast.
In any case, there is definitely a problem with it, and the manufacturer has not learned any information, so there are other reasons.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Tao pondered carefully, the manufacturer felt that Marian was not a threat at all, but Marian seemed to be nine out of ten, if Manager Hu hid himself and gave Marian authorization, it would not be reasonable, after all, he had been there two or three times before, and he didn't think there was any problem.
Could it be that the problem is on Mr. Lu's side?
Mr. Lu, the person in charge of the project who submitted the instrument purchase plan, Lu Tao had also visited him before, and he felt that he was very polite and concerned about product quality and after-sales service, but he couldn't see anything else.
It's not enough to just think about it, and it's not okay to call and ask, Lu Tao decided to go there in person to understand things clearly, so as not to be in the dark when other people's projects have already come out.
Pay attention to efficiency, Lu Tao did not choose to take an ordinary car, but directly took a taxi, and rushed to the analysis and testing center in a hurry.
I didn't choose to go to Ning Xiaodong, nor did I find Deputy Director Ling Ping, but directly found Professor Lu, the relationship between the leadership layer is always reserved for a critical time.
I asked two ordinary experimenters, and the news I got was that Professor Lu had gone to the south to attend an academic conference, and he was not there during this time.
He frowned, pondering the hidden meaning, whether it was an excuse or a deliberate choice to avoid it at a critical time.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Tao found Li Changhai.
"Teacher Li, has Professor Lu gone to attend an academic conference?" Li Changhai knew his relationship with Director Ning, and Lu Tao simply greeted him and got straight to the point.
"yes, I only left yesterday, and I guess I won't be back until next week. For Lu Tao, Li Changhai felt that he was too immature at first, and he didn't look like a boss, and he was much worse than Mr. Liu of Bomai, but since the atomic absorption incident, he has changed his opinion.
The relationship between leaders is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is actually some of the work that Lu Tao did in the later period. For example, every time I go to Shenyang, I will call him and invite him out to eat.
Speaking of which, he doesn't have much power, and he doesn't have the right to decide, once or twice, he may think that Lu Tao did it because he wanted something, but when there are many times, it is different, which shows that people do put themselves in their hearts.
Although he often finds reasons to excuse himself, Lu Tao can almost be said to be non-stop, and will secretly send him shopping cards and gifts.
came and went, and the relationship between the two was also good. After confirming that Professor Lu was indeed not there, Lu Tao thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any news about the dual-focus magnetic mass spectrometer recently?"
"Didn't you give two lectures with the manufacturer in the early stage? A few days ago, we discussed it collectively, and it has been decided, so we are waiting for the bidding. “
"What?" Lu Tao was stunned.
