Chapter 25 Backward Equipment

Zhao Hongbing smiled: "Xiaoya, why are you?" ”

When Lu Xiaoya saw his smile, she remembered the embarrassment of that night, her face was a little blushing, and she said unnaturally and forcefully: "My father is the workshop director of the hardware factory, and I am a child of the factory. ”

Director Hou said happily: "So you know each other? Xiaoya, Mr. Zhao is a big customer of our factory, today your task is not only to serve the foreign guests, but also to have a relationship with Mr. Zhao, and strive to let him place more orders for our factory. ”

Xiao Ya said: "Uncle Hou, we are just ordinary friends, where can I be the master of Boss Zhao." ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "Of course there is no problem, Xiaoya and I are good friends, since she is a child of a hardware factory, with this relationship, I also want to place more orders, then on the basis of the contract, it is better to make another million." ”

Lu Xiaoya was stunned when she heard this, the most money she had seen in her life did not exceed 10,000 yuan, but as soon as Zhao Hongbing opened her mouth, it was one million, and it was still in her face, which made Lu Xiaoya both shocked and uneasy, and said hurriedly: "Zhao ...... Red soldiers, you have to think about ......"

Director Hou laughed and said: "Mr. Zhao is refreshing enough, it seems that my beauty plan has a great effect." ”

called Lu Xiaoya aside again, and whispered: "Xiaoya, you don't have to hide it in front of your uncle, you can see that Mr. Zhao and you have a different relationship, I won't ask if there are more, you must accompany this Mr. Zhao." To tell you the truth, this cooperation, the contract amount involved may reach more than 10 million, is more than 10 million, with this money our factory can not only get rid of the long-term troubled financial problems, but also reborn, and build a hardware factory, so it is not an exaggeration to regard him as our living God of Wealth, you must have a good relationship with him, Uncle Hou please you. ”

Lu Xiaoya felt a little dizzy, and her mind was all about the more than 10 million yuan that Director Hou said, and build another hardware factory, she knew that Zhao Hongbing was rich, but she didn't expect to be so rich. Ten million, she didn't dare to think about it before, thinking that it was an astronomical amount that she didn't dare to hope for in this life, but suddenly, someone told her that the young man who was pursuing him passionately was the big boss with tens of millions of dollars, which made her so surprised that she was dizzy and had a trace of fear in her heart.

Fear what? Fear of losing, fear of not being able to gain, fear of not daring to climb high.

This is her true feeling, and it may also be the normal reaction of many people, when money rises to a value, the impact on people is unimaginably shocking.

In the next time, Lu Xiaoya was a little distracted, her translation work was definitely not competent, fortunately, there was Zhao Hongbing next to her, and Director Hou and other leaders did not understand foreign languages, so they were okay to deal with the past.

The attitude of the hardware factory is very enthusiastic, this era of foreigners to invest in the country is not common, if you can really attract foreign capital to come, you can create valuable foreign exchange for the country, that is a great achievement, so the director of the Hou factory and others are very eager, personally accompanied the John family to visit the plant, workshop, equipment, workers' dormitories, raw material warehouse, etc., the director of the Hou factory also volunteered to serve as a commentator, with Xiaoya translation, for John to explain the production process of the hardware factory in detail.

John carefully looked at the set of German equipment that Director Hou boasted about, and said to Zhao Hongbing: "Zhao, this set of equipment is not advanced technology at all, according to the annotation on the nameplate, this is the equipment of the early seventies in Germany, although I am not engaged in the machinery manufacturing industry, but also with some famous companies have dealt with, I know that the elimination and replacement of machinery and equipment is more frequent, such equipment technology can only be regarded as second-rate in the international at most, not to mention that compared with those top manufacturing, even first-class can not be called." ”

Zhao Hongbing was also a little surprised, and asked, "John, do you really see it clearly?" Director Hou said that this is the most advanced equipment in Germany that was introduced last year. ”

John shook his head and said: "Impossible, the most advanced machinery manufacturing technology is the core competitiveness of a country, and it is impossible to export it to other countries, let alone your country." Oh, I beg your pardon, I don't mean it in a bit, but it's a fact that exists at the moment. I just took a closer look at the nameplate of the equipment, although it deliberately erased sensitive data such as manufacturing time and technical model, but the accuracy and process structure of this set of equipment are still using the process popular in Europe in the sixties, and even use the old-fashioned metal abrasive technology, these factors will have certain defects in terms of accuracy and reliability, and the performance and quality of the products produced are not high. ”

Zhao Hongbing nodded, John's statement reminded him of a news he had read in his previous life, which was about the disadvantages of domestic enterprises introducing foreign equipment and technology in the early days of reform and opening up, forming a strange circle: introduction-backwardness-introduction. Foreigners are very shrewd, specifically bullying Chinese can not access international advanced technology, selling the equipment they are about to eliminate to China at a high price, as a result, the new equipment that domestic enterprises have just bought back, it will not take long to become backward technology, and they have to buy other equipment from abroad at a high price, but the equipment they buy back is still about to be eliminated, and they can never catch up with others.

This is a strange circle, the Chinese people are not stupid, but also quickly recognized the problem, but there is no effective solution, because China's machinery manufacturing technology is indeed far behind others, until later the national strength rose sharply, technical personnel are also enough reserves, there is a little competitiveness, but the core equipment and technology, has been in the hands of European and American countries.

Zhao Hongbing is a little indignant, but also helpless, this is a competition of national strength, is a distortion in the international context, he as an individual, can only adapt, can only follow, but the world is mighty, China's rise is also unstoppable by anyone, the wisdom, market and productivity of more than a billion people, will surely occupy a position at the top of the world.

Their chat also attracted Lu Xiaoya's attention, hearing the conversation between John and Zhao Hongbing, Lu Xiaoya felt the need to translate the original words to Director Hou, Director Hou listened, and asked Zhao Hongbing: "Mr. Zhao, what is the origin of this customer of yours, and is his statement credible?" ”

In fact, Zhao Hongbing didn't know much about John's family, only knew that they were also businessmen, and this time they were traveling to China, but since he said to Director Hou that they were his customers, he naturally couldn't slap himself in the face at this time, so he coped: "John was born in a long-established business family in France, the family is involved in many industries, and has business dealings with some domestic machinery manufacturing giants, so his words should still have a certain accuracy." ”

Director Hou smiled bitterly: "Since you have seen through it, I can't hide it from Mr. Zhao." When we first bought this equipment, our technicians suspected that it should not be the most advanced technology in Germany. But you can rest assured, although it is not the most advanced in the world, but in our country, it is relatively advanced, the products produced by us have been sent to the quality supervision department several times, the scores are of high quality, we are confident that the quality of similar products in the country can definitely guarantee the advantage, Mr. Zhao if you are not at ease, each batch of products can be sampled, by both sides jointly issued a document guarantee, if there is a problem with the quality, our factory is willing to bear the responsibility for compensation. ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "I am assured of the credibility of Director Hou, and we also see the professionalism of the old workers of the hardware factory, so we have confidence in your products." I hope that there will be no quality problems in the future, and if they do, I also hope that the two sides will uphold the principle of friendly consultation to solve the problem. ”

His words are very good, Director Hou is very useful to listen to, in fact, if there is really a quality problem, Zhao Hongbing will definitely do business, and directly let the lawyer come forward, because those restrictions have long been written in the contract.

Of course, Zhao Hongbing's words are good, but also because he is still more at ease with the products of the hardware factory for the time being, just as Director Hou said before, the dwarf pulls out the general, this set of equipment may be backward in foreign countries, but in the current country, it is relatively advanced, and it can be called the boss in the same industry.

Zhao Hongbing said: "Director Hou, this time it was the foreign guests who gave us guidance, and if we encounter the same situation next time, we have to let those who buy the equipment have more eyes." ”

Director Hou said with a wry smile: "I want to too, but it's not up to us, the factory can't do such a thing as buying large-scale equipment, and it must be reported to the Department of Industry and decided by the superior leaders." The procedures are very cumbersome, and there are many rules and regulations. The introduction of a set of equipment involves development and reform, state-owned assets, taxation, customs, foreign exchange and other departments, the process is complex, to say it will give you a headache for half a day, our set of equipment from the application for the project to the final introduction of more than two years, according to this calculation, even if the Germans did not deceive us at the beginning, and so buy back is a bit outdated. ”

Zhao Hongbing nodded understandingly, state-owned enterprises are known for their "low efficiency", this kind of thing involving multiple functional departments, and involving slower government units, can be bought back in more than two years, it is really good.

Accompanied by John's family to visit the factory, Director Hou took them to the conference room, the conference room has been filled with flowers and fruits, two columns of waiters lined up in front of the door, and applauded and welcomed, the specifications are simply higher than the first time to entertain Zhao Hongbing, the god of wealth, no wonder will later form a flattering atmosphere, this is why their own people look down on themselves and look up to others.

In the conference room, the two sides went through a friendly and warm atmosphere of the meeting, in fact, it was all nonsense without nutrition, the purpose of John's family was not to cooperate at all, the enthusiasm of Director Hou and others could only be disappointed, Zhao Hongbing said a few words perfunctorily, then turned his head and laughed with Lu Xiaoya, as a result, the girl was too late to translate or translate incorrectly, Director Hou and others did not understand foreign languages, and they talked nonsense in the clouds with her misguided guidance, and when they got to the back, the mistakes deepened, and the two sides talked to themselves, and the topic was 108,000 miles apart, Xiaoya didn't bother to correct it, with a helpless look, Zhao Hongbing wanted to laugh when she saw it.
