The bidding will not officially start until ten o'clock, and this is the first bidding meeting, today is mainly to the construction team and the major foreign bank managers, the large class issued the tender, which is divided into two links, the first link is to the construction team bidding, let them show the qualification certificate, and to the construction team issued a tender, the tender has Xiao Zhenlei sent people to the Yamen to report the establishment of Zhenhua Machinery Production Co., Ltd. for the bidder's specific requirements and conditions.

The second link is to issue a tender to the managers of major foreign banks or Taipan, and the specific requirements of the industrial machine tools that Zhenhua Machinery Production Co., Ltd. needs to purchase have clear requirements in the bidding documents.

There was still more than an hour before the bidding meeting began, the gramophone in the hall played dance music, and the foreign students who came with the female guests and their respective female companions danced.

It's not that before Xiao Zhenlei, there were no national businessmen who thought of establishing a machinery production factory, and it wasn't that they didn't think of buying production machines and machine tools from foreigners, but the Qing merchants in this period were not familiar with building machinery factories, not to mention the production machinery, they didn't even know what the manufacturing machine and the machine of machinery looked like, and they didn't have the concept of industrial machine tools, they knew about ironworks, steel mills, and shipyards, and they didn't know that the equipment of these factories needed to be manufactured by industrial machine tools.

When Xiao Zhenlei and Yan Laojiu were talking, Zhou Chuandong, who was in charge of guarding the gate of the mansion and checking the invitations, came over and whispered in his ear: "Sir, the managers of the four Oriental foreign companies want to come in, but they don't have invitations."

"Orientals?" Xiao Zhenlei frowned and asked, "Which four foreign companies are these four foreign companies?" ”

Zhou Chuandong said: "It's Mitsui & Co., Mitsubishi & Co., Iwai & Co., and Dongmian & Co.!" ”

Intellectually speaking, Xiao Zhenlei is absolutely unwilling to do business with these Oriental foreign firms, not only because of the atrocities of the Japanese in China in the previous life, but also because the Japanese foreign firms in this period were basically uneasy and well-intentioned when doing business in China, and they were all preparing for the future invasion of China.

Take Mitsui & Co. as an example, the full name of Mitsui & Co. is Mitsui & Co., Ltd., which is one of the institutions of the Japanese Mitsui Foundation that carried out aggression against old China. In 1877, Mitsui & Co. opened a branch in Shanghai. After the First Sino-Japanese War, branches were set up in Lushun, Andong and other places. Acting as an agent for a company related to the Mitsui Foundation. Together with Mitsubishi, he monopolized China's trade and manipulated the shipping and insurance business. Later, he also provided political loans to the Beiyang government to collect Chinese political, economic, and military intelligence.

However, Xiao Zhenlei considered that it was now a bidding reception, even if he didn't send invitations to these Oriental companies, and now that their manager got the news and came in person, he couldn't turn people away, even if he didn't want to do business with Oriental people, he still had to do what he should do, and it was a big deal not to choose them when choosing a partner.

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and instructed Zhou Transmission: "Let them come in!" ”

Zhou Chuandong promised: "Okay, sir! ”

Seeing that Zhou Chuandong was so busy that he kicked his front heels on his toes, Xiao Zhenlei knew that he had to expand his manpower, once the factory began to be built, he would definitely not be able to take care of it with the current manpower, not to mention that there were not enough talents for operation and management, and there was no one to run errands and watch the door, in order to hold this bidding meeting, Song Shijie put the coachman dog Dan and the maid Wu Ma in handy, and finally invited a few foreign waiters from the Licha Hotel to help at a high price.

Since the managers of the Oriental Foreign Bank came in, Xiao Zhenlei was only busy greeting the other foreign bank managers, and he didn't care about the reception, until the bidding reception began at ten o'clock.

"Sir, the time is up!" Song Shijie walked over and reminded Xiao Zhenlei in a low voice.

Xiao Zhenlei nodded when he heard this, and walked to a platform more than a foot high placed against the wall on the north side of the hall with a wine glass, only two square sizes, and only one or two people could stand.

Seeing Xiao Zhenlei, the master, walk on the stage, the heads of the construction teams below and the managers of the major foreign companies stopped dancing and chatting, and those who brought female companions took their female companions with them, and those invited dancers walked aside to rest.

"Everyone!" Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile on the stage with a wine glass: "Today is the bidding reception of the company, thank you for coming to participate in this reception, first of all, I would like to thank Mr. Sassoon Sassoon, the manager of Lihe and the ........"

All the managers of foreign banks whose names were mentioned by Xiao Zhenlei were happy to raise their glasses to greet Xiao Zhenlei and other foreign managers, and there were more than 100 heads of construction teams and managers of major foreign companies in the hall, plus the female companions they brought, and there were dozens of construction teams and major foreign companies participating in the bidding alone, and it was good to be able to show their faces in front of so many people.

After reading the names of the managers of these foreign companies and the leaders of the construction team, Xiao Zhenlei looked at the managers of several Oriental companies and deliberately asked, "Uh, I don't know how to call them?" Which foreign firm is the representative? ”

A bald middle-aged man raised his hand and said, "Hello Mr. Xiao, I am Mitsui Shou, the manager of the Shanghai branch of Mitsui & Co.!" ”

The second middle-aged man wearing glasses raised his hand and said, "Hello Mr. Xiao, I am Jiro Suzuki, the manager of the Shanghai branch of Mitsubishi & Co."

"Kenji Matsushita, manager of Tomian Foreign Company!"

"Iwai Yoko Manager Kazuki Sakata!"

These four people introduced themselves here, and the other managers of foreign banks all whispered sideways.

Xiao Zhenlei was a little surprised on his face, and then said: "It's my fault that someone Xiao didn't send invitations to Mitsui and Mitsubishi, I'm really sorry, there are too many foreign companies on the beach, and there are inevitably omissions when sending people to send invitations!" ”

After that, Xiao Zhenlei also bent down slightly and bowed to apologize, but he changed the topic: "It's just that I don't understand, if Mitsubishi and Mitsui are still reasonable to come over to participate in this company's bidding meeting without receiving an invitation, after all, their two foreign companies have a business related to the equipment that our company needs to procure, but Dongmian and Iwai also came to participate in the bidding meeting, which makes me confused, as far as I know, Dongmian is a foreign company specializing in cotton and textile trade, Iwai is a foreign company specializing in leather trade, are you two foreign companies ready to abandon their old business and switch to operating machinery and equipment? That doesn't seem like a good job."

After Xiao Zhenlei's words fell, there was silence at the bidding reception, but soon a burst of laughter broke out, and the heads of the major construction teams and the managers of the major foreign banks were amused by Xiao Zhenlei's words.

Kenji Matsushita, the manager of Dongmian Foreign Company, and Kazuki Sakata, the manager of Iwai Foreign Company, were so laughed by the managers of these foreign companies that their faces turned blue and white for a while, and finally they couldn't stand the mocking eyes of the other foreign company managers and fled from the Xiao Mansion.

After the two hurriedly left, Xiao Zhenlei said: "Now that the cocktail party has officially begun, please prepare your qualification certificate in writing from the bosses of each building, please Mr. Song accept it, we will verify your qualifications in writing, and we will notify you that you can bid if you meet the standards, and you will be embarrassed if you don't meet the standards!" Clapped his hands, and saw Song Shijie come over and collect the written certificates of qualifications prepared by the bosses of the construction team.

After the completion of this procedure, Xiao Zhenlei said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we Zhenhua Machinery Production Co., Ltd. are ready to invest 20 million taels of silver to build an industrial zone on the 500 acres of land and purchase related industrial production equipment to form a large chain industrial group company, the whole project is divided into four phases, built in five years, the first phase of the project first built two factory areas, the establishment of two factories, the first is a thermal power plant, the second is a machinery production plant, Together with the purchase of production equipment and large coal-fired fuel generator sets, a total of three million taels of silver will be invested."

During this period, factories sprung up on the beach in Shanghai, but the total value of most of the factories was only tens of thousands of taels of silver, more than 100,000 taels of silver, and a slap of millions of taels of silver could be counted.

Now Xiao Zhenlei told them that he was going to invest three million taels of silver to build two factories, how could this not shock them, but at the same time, it also made the corners of people's mouths drool, and this is only the first phase of the project, the entire project will cost twenty million taels of silver, if they can take all the equipment needed by Zhenhua Company, then how much will they profit? Everyone here is a human spirit, everyone will settle accounts, if they can win this business, I'm afraid they won't have to worry for several years!

Xiao Zhenlei looked at the reactions of the following people, and continued: "The following will issue you our company's bidding document, which lists the number of machines and equipment that our company needs to purchase, as well as the names of the machines for each purpose. And list the price of another bid, which foreign company to give us the price of the machine, good quality, after-sales service in place, we will choose which foreign company to bid, in addition to I want to remind you, our company needs the most advanced machine equipment in the world today, not your country has been eliminated long overdue things, don't think we don't understand, we will send someone to check, you don't sell us the best equipment, I think there will always be someone to sell us, So I hope you don't have trouble with money, after all, no one is too hot to get along with money, right? ”
