Chapter 80: "Solicitation of bribes" & controversy
On the morning of Chen Geng's departure, he parked two cleaned black Shanghai cars at the door of the SAIC Guest House.
Looking at these two cars that seemed to have some kind of brilliance in the sun, Zhang Xiangyang's saliva was about to flow down, even if he knew that it was impossible for the third child to joke with him, but when Chen Geng said to himself that he could change the two cars, he was still muttering in his heart, but now, the two new cars stopped in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.
Having worked in China for so many years, Jindler also knows what the living standards and income levels of the people in this country are, and knows that for the vast majority of ordinary people in this country, cars are still a luxury that can be reached by expectations, so he didn't feel strange about Zhang Xiangyang's reaction at all, but asked with a smile: "Hey, can you drive?" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Xiangyang replied without thinking.
Although he doesn't have a driver's license, driving is not a problem.
Kindler tossed the key over and said, "Go up and try." ”
Subconsciously took the key, glanced at Chen Geng, and saw Chen Geng nodding at himself with encouragement, Zhang Xiangyang immediately opened the car door and got in, gently turned the key, and with a light sound of the starting motor, the in-line six-cylinder engine ran smoothly.
Listening to the brisk running of the engine, Chen Geng immediately knew that the car was in quite good condition.
Pointing to another car, Jindeler said to Chen Geng: "The car just completed the overhaul yesterday, the overall performance is good, and I helped you put some engine oil in the trunk, all of which are imported from Germany, enough for you to use for a while." ”
"Thank you!"
Needless to say, the word "thank you" is enough to express what Chen Geng wants to express.
"Don't be so polite," Kindler whispered, waving his hand, "the ship will be there soon." ”
Knowing what Jindeler meant, Chen Geng nodded and said in the same low voice: "Don't worry." ”
Jindeler breathed a sigh of relief, he has been delivering cars and helping in the past few days, is it just because of the friendship between the two? That's weird! What's more, it's one thing to put these two cars there and no one to use them, but it's another thing to "lend" them to others.
"By the way, do me a favor."
"You say," Kindler rolled his eyes, "but I may not be able to help." ”
"You can definitely help," Chen Geng couldn't see the little caution that Jindeler was playing with himself, and raised two fingers, Chen Geng said: "Give me the indicator of 5 Santana a month, can you help with this?" ”
What are the indicators of 5 Santana? Kindler breathed a sigh of relief: it did help. But with a roll of his eyes, Kindler's head shook like a rattle: "Impossible! Chen, are you kidding me? ”
Chen Geng looked at him with a smile: "Really don't help?" ”
"Uh...... It's not that it doesn't help, 5 cars are really too many, only one at most! ”
"1? What about you sending Hanako? 4 cars! At least 4 cars! ”
"4, why don't you rob it?" Kindler shouted angrily: "2! There are only 2 cars, and there is no more one. ”
"3 cars! Or I don't want any of them. ”
"Count you in!" Jindeler said angrily: "Okay, deal, 3 cars will be 3 cars!" But first of all, this indicator is only valid for the current month, if you don't use it for the current month, it will be automatically invalidated at the end of the month. ”
"Deal!"
――――――――――――――――
At the moment when Chen Geng and Jindler were arguing over the monthly Santana "quota", a heated debate was taking place in the conference room of the Hangzhou Rubber Factory at the same time.
"I don't think we should be on the car tire project, no, not no, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't even be considered," the head of the technical section **** said angrily: "Although I am the head of the technical section, I don't talk about technology today, as long as we will decide to get on the car tires, even if I arch my head to the ground, I will also arch the car tires to everyone, I am talking about the market, who will we sell the tires to after they are produced?" There are a total of two and a half car manufacturers in the country: one SAIC, one BAIC, and the remaining half is Yangcheng, which has just been established.
The tires used in the Shanghai brand car are all the pull back tires from the Chint Rubber Factory, although the tires of Poussin are still imported, but the leaders of the magic capital must give priority to their local enterprises, and don't want to take a piece of the pie at all," spread his hands, and asked loudly: "Even if we get the car tires on the horse, there are no customers, who will the tires produced be sold to?" ”
The entire room fell silent.
With the liberalization of the market and the development of the economy, the domestic demand for cars and passenger cars is increasing, Poussin, BAIC Cherokee, Yangcheng Peugeot three joint venture automobile projects have been completed, which means that the spring of the automotive industry has come, as one of the largest tire manufacturers in China, Hangcheng Rubber Factory saw the opportunity, the theme of today's meeting is to discuss whether Hangcheng Rubber Factory wants to launch the car tire project, in this coming spring to strive for a piece of the pie.
If you can get a piece of the pie in this round of passenger car development, the future prospects of Hangcheng rubber factory are of course extremely good, but there are more than a dozen tire manufacturers in China, and the domestic tradition is that as long as there are local tire manufacturers, local enterprises are not allowed to use tires from other places or other provinces.
For Hangcheng Rubber Factory, the saddest place is that there is no automobile manufacturing enterprise in Hangcheng City and even the entire Jiangbei Province, although Hangzhou is not far from the Devil, but the Magic City already has two tire production enterprises, Greater China and Chint, how can it be possible to allow Hangcheng Rubber Factory to come in and get a piece of the pie?
"So, what's your opinion?" Factory director Fan Jiajun broke the silence in the conference room and asked ****.
"I think that the future focus of our factory should be based on bicycle tires and motorcycle tires, and the appropriate development of truck tires," **** said: "The country vigorously develops highway transportation is an established national policy, and then road transportation will inevitably usher in a period of rapid development, with the liberation of rural productivity, the sales data of agricultural vehicles are also rising year by year, so I think all kinds of truck tires and agricultural vehicle tires are our future growth points." ”
Fan Jiajun nodded, but did not speak, and after muttering for a while, he turned his head to Shen Jinrong, the director of the tire workshop and secretary of the party branch, and said, "Xiao Shen, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"What your colleagues say makes sense," Shen Jinrong, who had been writing and drawing in a notebook with his head down just now, raised his head, met everyone's gaze, and said confidently: "It is true that these difficulties that everyone said, such as marketing, such as local protectionism, etc., do exist, but I think that we can actually feel more than this, we still have a chance." ”
Still a chance? The factory director Fan Jiajun was a little relieved in his eyes: this kid really didn't let himself down.
Don't look at Shen Jinrong is only 27 years old, but he joined the work in 76 years from the technical section technician, deputy secretary of the technical section of the party branch, deputy chief of the supply and marketing section step by step, relying on his own ability and diligence to today, has a high prestige in the Hangcheng rubber factory, is considered to be one of the future successors of the factory, Fan Jiajun has been vigorously cultivating him, but also indirectly confirmed this statement.
"What chance?" Immediately anxious, said heavily: "Comrade Jin Rong, you are out of our technical department, and you have also stayed in the sales department, and you are familiar with technology and sales, you should know that technically speaking, our Hangcheng rubber factory does have the potential to produce car tires, but now the local protectionism is so serious, who do we produce tires to sell to?" If we produce it but can't sell it, how can we pay our workers? Is it possible to give tires to workers and let them eat tires? ”
I just said that our Hangcheng rubber factory can't make car tires, the competition in that market is too fierce, we can't squeeze in at all, you turn around and give me a big ear scraper? Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen, you went out of our technical department at the beginning, how can this be? Comrade is a little distressed.
Well, this is ****'s inner monologue, of course it's hard to say, but for ****, Shen Jinrong has been working in the technology department since the beginning, and later became the deputy head of the technology department, and is regarded by many people as his apprentice, and now this apprentice of his own openly opposes himself at such an important meeting, this is simply a slap in the face in public, where did **** receive this? It's strange that he doesn't rush with Shen Jinrong.
Compared with the eagerness of ****, Shen Jinrong said extremely sincerely: "Teacher, I know what you said, or you listen to me first, listen to what I say is not reasonable, if what I say is unreasonable, I have nothing to say if you smoke me, okay?" ”
Shen Jinrong said it to this point, of course **** is not good to say anything, nodded angrily: "Okay!" You said. ”
"First of all, I want to say that I fully agree with Section Chief Yang's suggestion that our Hangcheng Rubber Factory will shift the focus of the industry to truck tires, motorcycle tires and agricultural vehicle tires in the future, but at the same time, I think we can't give up car tires, for two reasons, there is only one company that can produce radial tires for cars in China, that is, Zhengtai Rubber Factory in Modu.
That's right, Chint Rubber Factory has produced our first car tires in China since 82 years, and the "Huili brand" car tires they produce have always been the "queen" tires of Shanghai brand cars, and the next will inevitably be Poussin's "queen" tires. Without OEMs, wouldn't we be able to sell tires? ”
With a heavy wave of his hand, Shen Jinrong said: "That's not the case! ”
