When Chen Geng rushed back to Karachi, he was stunned to find that the machinery and industrial products exhibition was far more lively than he imagined, the venue was really rubbing shoulders, the front of each booth was crowded with people, and the exhibitors who were still nervous before they came, at this moment, in addition to excitement or excitement, the expression was the same as walking and picking up money......
"Brother, are you here?" Zhang Baowei, who was busy greeting guests, looked up and saw Chen Geng, and hurriedly greeted: "Come, hurry up and have a cup of tea." β
Chen Geng was not polite to Zhang Baowei, everyone had been friends for so many years, so he walked over and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang, how is it?" Looks like business is going well. β
"It's not just good, it's just good!" Zhang Baowei, who was already excited and flushed, heard this, and slapped his thigh excitedly: "I won't tell you, brother, when the big guys had dinner together last night, they said that they have to thank you for everything, if it wasn't for the fact that you brought everyone to Karachi in the first place, how would you know that our products are so popular?" β
"Oh?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Everyone doesn't hate me now?" β
"Huh...... Brother, you don't want any pot to open...... Didn't everyone know about you before? β
Zhang Baowei laughed twice, Chen Geng's words were too slap in the face, but also, when Chen Geng insisted on forming an exhibition group to Pakistan, there were several people in charge of the company who put some ugly words in private, and they all accused Chen Geng of making the big guy miserable for himself.
"Forget it, I won't talk about it before," Chen Geng waved his hand and asked curiously: "Brother Zhang, how are you Jiyi Machine Tool Factory?" Look at your red face. β
Speaking of this sales, Zhang Baowei couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey...... It's not bad, it's sold for about 10 million, right? β
"10 million? Oh......" Chen Geng was a little disappointed: "It's just that? β
This is in the face of a country, Pakistan has given such a lot of publicity, almost the entire Pakistan knows it, and only sold 10 million machine tools and equipment? It's a bit of a shame.
"It's dollars!" Zhang Baowei looked at him, "I knew you would be like this!" He said with a smug face: "It's only been 2 days, and we have sold machine tools worth 10 million US dollars, and when this exhibition is completed, we may be able to sell 30 million US dollars of equipment, hahahaha...... Sent a ......"
Chen Geng somewhat understands why Zhang Baowei is almost crazy with excitement, but isn't it a hair, the export volume worth 30 million US dollars, the total export volume of Jinan No. 1 Machine Tool Factory over the years does not add up to whether there are so many ......
Anyway, this is a good thing, Chen Geng said some words of congratulations to Zhang Baowei.
"You're polite, you're polite," Zhang Baowei couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "With such a big order, our unit will start work at full strength next...... Brother, I heard that the new jeep produced by your unit is good, and we will order a few cars in our unit, oh, by the way, I heard that everyone is planning to buy a few more cars. β
Chen Geng immediately understood that these companies who were dragged to the exhibition by themselves were expressing their gratitude to themselves in this way.
was chatting happily with Zhang Baowei, Director Fan and Director Zhen, who were walking around the venue, saw Chen Geng and immediately walked over quickly, holding Chen Geng's hand and refusing to let go.
Looking at the two directors with red faces, Chen Geng knew that their mood must be very good at the moment, and he hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Director Zhen, Director Fan, it seems that we have a good harvest this time?" β
"It's not much," Director Fan's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he couldn't help but swagger triumphantly: "Manager Chen, guess how much trading volume we have in the past few days?" β
"Is there 100 million dollars?" Chen Geng thought about it and boldly guessed a number.
"$120 million!"
Chen Geng's eyes widened suddenly: "120 million US dollars? β
$120 million is not a small amount, the total foreign exchange reserves of the Republic last year were only a little more than $2 billion, and this time the business can have $120 million, so it is no wonder that Director Fan and Director Zhen are happy to be like this.
Director Fan couldn't hold back any longer, and grinned: "But isn't it, 120 million, who would have thought that there could be so many?" β
"But ......" hesitated for a moment, Chen Geng still asked, "Does Pakistan have so many dollars to pay?" β
Pakistan is not a rich country, and it is small in size and small in population, so they can afford such a huge sum of $120 million? Most importantly, in the context of the traditional friendship between the two countries, the price of these industrial equipment sold in Pakistan is also the domestic price plus a shipping fee.
Speaking of this question, the excitement on Director Fan's face suddenly faded a lot: "As long as it is still barter, I can still pay a part of the US dollar, about two to three percent." β
Two to three percent are paid in dollars, and the rest is paid in barter? This result was both expected by Chen Geng and somewhat unexpected by Chen Geng, but ......
"Anyway, it's always a good thing to be able to make money and help people find a new way to sell it."
"That's right, that's right!" Director Fan and Director Zhen nodded again and again, among these companies that came to the exhibition, some units were about to be unable to hold on, but I didn't expect it to be very popular in Pakistan, although Pakistan is barter, but anyway, with the support of this market, this company has hope, which is always a good thing.

"Brother Meng, there is something I want you to trouble me to inquire about." On the phone, Chen Geng politely said to Meng Haibo.
"Are you so polite with me?" Meng Haibo said with a smile: "If you have any questions, just ask, brother, I must know everything and say everything." β
"Then I'll thank you in advance," Chen Geng chuckled twice and said, "That's the case, do you know which unit produced the piston-5 engine?" Well, it's the engine used on the Y-5 transport plane. β
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and just when Chen Geng thought it was disconnected, Meng Haibo finally spoke again, but his tone was a little weird: "Brother, aren't you making me happy?" Would you not know the production unit of the Piston-5? β
Chen Geng was a little helpless: "I will use this kind of thing to make you happy?" β
"The production unit of the piston-5 is Zhuzhou Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, and you have such a deep cooperation with Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, don't you know this?" Meng Haibo's tone was quite weird.
"Isn't it?" Chen Geng was taken aback: "The piston-5 is a product of the Xiangjiang Machinery Factory?" β
"Not only is the piston-5 a product of the Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, but the turboprop-5 and vortex shaft-8 are also theirs," Meng Haibo's tone was as weird as it was: "Brother, isn't it?" Based on your relationship between Runhua Industry and Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, do you not know what they have produced? β
The relationship between Runhua Industry and Xiangjiang Machinery Factory is not ordinarily deep, the engine equipped with this car is based on the XJ750 horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, and the production of powertrain is also placed in Xiangjiang Machinery Factory. It's a bit embarrassing.
Chen Geng was very embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly: "I only know that the XJ750, turboprop-6 and vortex-8 are products of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, and I really don't know that the piston-5 is also theirs." β
Although it was a little embarrassing at first, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing strange about it, the Xiangjiang Machinery Factory has been discontinuing production of pistons-5 for several years, and it is really not surprising that I don't know. However, after learning that the piston-5 was actually a product of the Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, Chen Geng's heart suddenly became hot: With the special relationship between Runhua Industry and the Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, it should not be difficult to obtain the relevant technical information of the piston-5 from them, right?
It's really not difficult, hearing Chen Geng say that they are interested in the information of the piston-5, Huo Dongfang didn't even stumble, and said happily: "This is easy to say, I'll have someone send you the information when I go back, but brother, what do you want the information of the piston-5?" β
"We intend to produce piston aero engines."
"Scared!" Huo Dongfang was taken aback, thinking that his ears had heard it wrong: "Brother, do you say it again?" β
"We plan to produce piston aero engines," Chen Geng had to repeat again: "At present, the biggest goal is to transport the aircraft to 5 ......."
Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Huo Dongfang said anxiously: "Brother, no, our piston-5 production line has been shut down by the state, you ......."
"Our Runhua Industrial is not a state-owned enterprise, and the fact that the Planning Commission can shut down the piston-5 production line of your Xiangjiang Machinery Factory does not mean that they can shut down our production line," Chen Geng interrupted Huo Dongfang's words with a smile, and said: "Your Xiangjiang Machinery Factory is a unit under the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and you must listen to the command from above. β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing Chen Geng's words, Huo Dongfang suddenly fell silent, and after a long while, he said with great resentment: "Actually, we didn't want to close the production line of Piston-5, but ......."
"But it's not up to you to decide whether it's up or not, right?" Chen Geng laughed, his mood seemed to be extremely happy: "This is the difficulty of your state-owned enterprises, the state has covered your food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and Lazar, but if the state makes any decision, you can only be obedient and obedient, we will be different, the state can not issue an order that we are not allowed to produce anything, even if we also produce the piston engine on the Y-5, they can't do anything about us." β
Huo Dongfang believed that Chen Geng said that things were happening immediately, and he also firmly believed that if Runhua Industrial really planned to get involved in the supply of Yun-5 engines, given the special relationship between Runhua Industrial and the military, even the Planning Commission could only stare at it: The military would definitely give priority to purchasing engines from Runhua Industrial, and the Planning Commission would not be able to dictate to Runhua Industrial...... He really envied Runhua Industry and Chen Geng.
"Then I congratulate you, brother," as he said, Huo Dongfang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, there is a question that I don't vomit or be unhappy about." β
"You say." Chen Geng said happily.
"Why did you suddenly think of producing the piston aero engine used on the Y-5?" Huo Dongfang was puzzled, he couldn't understand, judging from the development signs shown by Runhua Industry before, Runhua Industry should continue to develop jeeps next, why did it suddenly want to be an aero engine? That's too big, isn't it?
Chen Geng thought about it, and there seemed to be no need to hide this matter from Huo Dongfang, so he said: "We obtained a Wright 'Hurricane' R-3350-26WA engine through special channels......"
Before Chen Geng could finish speaking, Huo Dongfang's eyes on the other end of the phone suddenly widened, and he lost his voice: "You got a Wright R-3350-26WA?" β
Huo Dongfang naturally knew that the original prototype of the piston-5 engine was the R-1800 series star-shaped nine-cylinder air-cooled aero engine codenamed "Hurricane" 9 of the Wright Company, which was the engine of the B-17 "Flying Fortress" bomber of the US military, and that the Xiangjiang Machinery Factory had produced the piston-5 engine for more than 20 years, with a cumulative production of more than 4,300 units, with an annual production capacity of more than 200 units at the highest time. If Runhua Industry really obtains a Wright "Hurricane" R-3350-26WA engine, and then has the technical information and guidance of the piston-5 provided by Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, it is really not difficult to produce an engine suitable for Yun-5.
But this guy's luck is too good, right? At this moment, Huo Dongfang was really deeply jealous of Chen Geng: With the number of domestic transport-5, at least 100 engines need to be replaced every year, and the price of aero engines is not cheap, and the price of an ASZ-62IR engine imported by the state from Poland is as high as more than $30,000...... Thinking of this, Huo Dongfang suddenly felt that the Xiangjiang Machinery Factory should find a way to persuade the higher-level authorities to allow the Xiangjiang Machinery Factory to reopen the production line of the piston-5?
