Yesterday Wu Sifan said that everything has been arranged in the society, so Li Xuanzhong naturally knew that he would go today, Feng Zhe thought about it, set off at half past eight, and drove directly to the cotton and linen company from home, in doing so, that is, it can give the cotton and linen company the necessary preparations, second, since it is sent by the head office to go on business, of course, you can't go to the gate of the house on time and on time, but you can't go too late, too late to have the suspicion of slacking off and eating and drinking, in that case, after Wu Sifan learned about his actions, would he think that he didn't pay attention to this matterοΌ
After thinking about it a lot, Feng Zhe didn't call Li Xuanzhong, when he arrived at the gate of the cotton and linen company, Feng Zhe stopped and told the door post his identity and intention, and the doorman called the general manager's office, and asked Feng Zhe to drive directly to the office building.
Li Xuanzhong is not there, this is normal, Feng Zhe guessed that Li Xuanzhong would not get up early in the morning and wait for him in the factory, and the cotton and linen company only let a deputy director of the office to receive him, it seems that the specifications are a little low, but it also shows that the other party is not afraid of checking by himself, the so-called selflessness in the heart of the world is wide, so there is no need to send it to himself?
The cotton and linen company was a little businesslike, and arranged a room for Feng Zhe, and Feng Zhe directly entered the working state, he asked for all the information and contracts related to the cotton and linen company and Meinberg, and it was a few hours at a glance, and only the woman would come in to see if Feng Zhe needed anything, and no one else would disturb him.
At eleven o'clock, Feng Zhe told the deputy director surnamed Zhao that he had something to do and would come back in the afternoon, and the female deputy director had no intention of leaving Feng Zhe for lunch.
When Feng Zhe deliberately took a piece of materials to leave, Deputy Director Zhao said with a smile that if Deputy Director Feng wanted to take these materials and leave, he would ask his superiors for instructions.
When Feng Zhe heard this, he smiled and said, "Then there is no need, everyone is so busy, don't do much, just leave it and watch it in the afternoon." β
It was still early, Feng Zhe went to Chai Kejing's unit, the two went home to rest for a while after eating outside, Feng Zhe sent Chai Kejing to the unit again, and he wandered around the street for a while before arriving at the cotton and linen company again.
In the afternoon, Feng Zhe changed the style of looking at materials in the morning, and began to interview the relevant personnel involved in signing contracts and buying and selling equipment with Meinberg, but the caliber of these people is basically the same, and they are all the same as what Li Xuanzhong said that day: the purchase of advanced equipment from Germany is to increase the market competitiveness of the enterprise, and there are problems in the transportation process, resulting in equipment damage and can not be put into normal useγ
The conversation lasted for two hours, Feng Zhe felt that he couldn't ask any other contradictory voices, so he proposed that he wanted to take a look at that batch of equipment, Deputy Director Zhao was a little hesitant, but in an instant he said that he wanted to ask the leader for instructions, and Feng Zhe asked her to just go.
Wait a while, Deputy Director Zhao came back and said that arrangements had been made and asked Feng Zhe to go with him.
The car of the cotton and linen company carried Feng Zhe and the deputy director Zhao straight out of the factory, drove for nearly an hour to a storage center, as if seeing Feng Zhe's question, Deputy Director Zhao explained that these equipment was temporarily placed here after being transported back, and then found that it could not be used, only stored in situ, originally intended to be replaced or repaired by the German side, and then directly entered the factory after it was done, but this matter has been discussed without results, so these equipment are placed here.
"This place doesn't belong to our company?"
"Yes, the land is leased. β
So the lease of the venue is another expense?
Feng Zhe and Deputy Director Zhao were talking, and the two went to the area where the equipment was stacked, looking at the steel equipment stored in the open air, some of the mechanical packaging had been scattered, Feng Zhe's mind was as messy as the paint on these equipment: things worth more than 20 million yuan were placed like this and left to the wind and rain, even if they came back intact, they now need to be overhauled again before they can enter normal operation.
Feng Zhe suddenly lost the interest of looking at it again, but he was silent on the surface, looking left and right, delaying the time for more than half an hour, and then the rain was a little heavier, so he said to leave.
Back at the cotton and linen company, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, fast into the factory door, Deputy Director Zhao received a phone call, and she said to Feng Zhe with some joy, Chairman Li is waiting for you in the factory.
Li Xuanzhong was still so unsmiling, and said to Feng Zhe that he was too busy today and really couldn't spare time to accompany Feng Zhe, please don't be surprised, Feng Zhe also politely said that Li Dong is very busy, which is the blessing of the cotton and linen company.
After chatting a few words, Feng Zhe went straight to the point: "Dong Li, I have a few questions I want to ask......
"Don't you dare to ask, just ask, and I will answer. β
"First, since our cotton and linen company signed a delivery method with Meinberg at the port of shipment under CIF conditions, why didn't the German side set up an insurer?"
Li Xuanzhong nodded and said: "Deputy Director Feng was really sent by the company, and he pointed out the core problem at once, according to CIF, the seller is required to sign an insurance contract and pay the insurance premium, but the specific things must be operated in detail, how to say it, in a word, it is still poor and has no money." β
"Deputy Director Feng, you look at the assets of our cotton and linen company over 100 million, but most of these are the equivalent value of fixed assets, we can really take out not much funds in our hands, at that time we had to take out more than 20 million yuan to buy German equipment, we were stretched, and finally borrowed a batch of money from the bank, so that the balance was paid. β
"The people of Meinberg asked for a lump sum payment, and we not only lowered the price but also proposed to pay in installments, in this case, they put forward the same conditions, no insurer, no insurance premium, which is one of the conditions of Meinberg. β
"So what's the deal with them that they don't offer repairs and after-sales?"
Feng Zhe's questions were very sharp, all of which he wanted to ask that day but didn't ask, Li Xuanzhong sighed and said: "This is also a condition of the other party, our consideration at the time was that the reputation of Meinberg is very high, as far as we know, there has been no problem with the machines produced by their company, and the repair rate is almost none, so after careful consideration, we agreed to the German side's conditions." β
"These resolutions were approved by the Board of Directors at the time?"
"Not beforehand, because of the urgency of the situation, the board of directors later approved it in principle, and I also asked Director Shi for these at that time. β
Director Shi is the director of the supply and marketing agency before Kan Dawei, and he will go to Xinyuan City to serve as the secretary of the city.
"The situation is urgent?" Feng Zhe asked.
"Yes, we urgently need to replace the equipment, the German machinery is out of stock, there are many factories around the world that need equipment, the situation is not optimistic, I have to make a decision. β
"Later, the two times our company went to Meienberg to negotiate, their attitude was still the same?"
"Yes, we didn't do it. β
Feng Zhe nodded: "I have another question, we all know that under the condition of CIF, the seller needs to bear all the risks before the goods are loaded on the ship at the port of shipment, of course, Li Dong also said that the other party does not provide insurance, what I want to say is that before the goods cross the ship's side, have we or the other party carried out the necessary testing on the non-destructiveness of the goods?"
Li Xuanzhong pondered for a while, Feng Zhe's question seems to be redundant, in fact, it is very tricky, although the two sides signed that the seller does not bear the responsibility of insurance, but if the cotton and linen company does not check the non-destructiveness of the goods before they are loaded on the ship at the port of shipment, it is a work error, that is, carelessness, that is a dereliction of duty, Li Xuanzhong, the chairman and general manager, more or less, also bears a certain responsibility.
"Deputy Director Feng, the equipment is intact before it crosses the ship's side. β
Feng Zhe saw Li Xuanzhong for the second time, he didn't know if the leader of this cotton and linen company was always like this in the past, but today this person is indeed a little silent.
If you want to understand, you have already asked, and the content hidden under the question is not what needs to be uncovered now, Feng Zhe proposed to leave, Li Xuanzhong said that he had been busy for a day, and if he didn't do Feng Zhe's landlord friendship, he would be a little unreasonable.
The chairman opened his mouth to stay, and other people around him also responded, Feng Zhe pushed the boat down the river, accompanied by a cadre from the cotton and linen company, and had a simple and rich dinner in the restaurant in the venue, and drank a little wine.
When he got home, Chai Kejing had already rested, and the rain had not stopped for several days, Feng Zhe sat quietly in front of the window for a while, got up and put a pool of water in the bathroom, and soaked himself in it.
As the saying goes: the benefits are good, and the money is used in the hardships, but today, the cotton and linen company behaves very normally, but the more normal, the more abnormal, I am on behalf of the head office to investigate the problem, and the people of the cotton and linen company are not a little nervous or anxious......
Feng Zhe kept thinking about the affairs of the cotton and linen company: Li Xuanzhong's somewhat dark face, Wu Sifan's words about "If something really happens to the cotton and linen company, there is a discipline inspection department in the society", and Kan Dawei's appearance of being kind to himself and even obviously looking down on him flashed in his mind.
Why did Kan Dawei and Wu Sifan have to go to the cotton and linen company by themselves? Could it be that they also learned who Qi Siqi's father was, so they intentionally handed over the olive branch?
No, at least unlikely.
Wu Sifan's intention must be Kan Dawei's opinion, as Kan Dawei, he is the leader of the general supply and marketing cooperative, if you want to investigate Li Xuanzhong's words, why bother to fake others.
Why should Kan dare to care about Li Xuanzhong's reaction?
So, it's a little simpler, Kan Dawei or Wu Sifan took a fancy to the ability he showed in the lawsuit with the airline?
No one is available in the general supply and marketing cooperative?
Feng Zhe is not yet hot-headed to the point of arrogance.
Outside the window, it rained at night, and there was no intention of stopping.
Early the next morning, Feng Zhe looked at the time and called Wu Sifan on time at eight o'clock, saying that he wanted to make a report to Director Wu on the matter of the cotton and linen company.
Feng Zhe had already arrived at the unit when he called, and after hearing Wu Sifan's instructions, he sat in the car and never got down, anyway, it was raining, and there was almost no one on the carport, and no one would notice that the youngest deputy director of the six departments was lying in a car and not going to the office.
When the time came, Feng Zhe went to Wu Sifan's office, Wu Sifan was looking at some materials, after Feng Zhe came in, he put down the things in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what is the situation?"
"Director Wu, I went to the cotton and linen company yesterday, and after my investigation, there are almost no problems with the contract between the cotton and linen company and the German side. β
Wu Sifan smiled: "Your word is very interesting, there are almost no problems, that is, there are still a little problems?"
"Yes, Director......"
"Don't be busy, come, sit down and talk slowly. β
Wu Sifan walked out from behind the desk and took a teacup for Feng Zhe, Feng Zhe took a few steps forward and reached out to take it, and then picked up Wu Sifan's teacup from the desk to see if the water in it was full, and then took it to the sofa, and then made tea for himself.
Wu Sifan looked at Feng Zhe with admiration in his eyes, and asked him to sit down and ask, "Tell me, what did you discover one day?"
"In general, there are no problems, I also talked with Chairman Li Xuanzhong, and learned that the cotton and linen company signed the somewhat unequal contract with the German side for various reasons, but it was ......."
"But what, look, don't you have any worries, just say what you have to say. β
Feng Zhe smiled: "Director, whether it is from the contract or the investigation of the company's employees, it is revealed that there is no problem with the cotton and linen company, and there is no problem with the contract signed with Meinberg, and the equipment is in the process of transportation, and the German side has also fulfilled the obligation of inspection before passing the ship at the cargo port. β
"But the more this happens, the worse the situation becomes, and the worse thing is that we have to bear the responsibility that the machinery cannot be used, and the tens of millions of equipment rust in the rain, and after a long time, isn't it scrap metal?"
Feng Zhe said and paid attention to Wu Sifan's reaction, Wu Sifan frowned slightly: "This problem is very serious, what have you found?"
"At this point, I carefully checked the content of each contract, hoping to find a reversal of the agreement from the contract......"
"Contract, you are really a political and legal graduate...... Wu Sifan smiled lightly: "That is, you have discovered?"
"Yes, Director, there is a 'waiver clause' in the agreement signed between the Cotton and Linen Company and the Meinberg Company, which says that before the payment for the goods is fully paid, the Meinberg Company retains the ownership of the equipment sold, and our Cotton and Linen Company did not remit all the money to the German side until the goods were transported to the goods unloading place in our province, that is, after the machinery was placed in the storage place now......
Wu Sifan leaned forward after hearing this, and his face was thoughtful: "You mean, the CIF clause does not apply here, since Meinberg still retains the ownership of the equipment when it is delivered to us, then in the case of no transfer of ownership, they should bear all kinds of risks of the goods?
"Yes, Director Wu, the money of the cotton and linen company has not been paid, and the equipment is still from Meinberg. β
Wu Sifan stood up, paced a few steps in the room, looked at Feng Zhe and smiled: "Xiao Feng, I know that you will not let me or disappoint Director Kan." You see, isn't this a breakthrough, this is an achievement? β
Wu Sifan said and looked at the time, made a phone call, and then said to Feng Zhe: "Let's go, you and I will go to see Director Kan, and we need to report this situation to Director Kan." β
