Chapter 428: Touching the Scales
After the three of them were seated, today's meeting officially began.
Deputy Director Ma Yingsheng naturally went through the process from the beginning, including the introduction of the participants of both sides, the theme of today's meeting, and so on.
When it was introduced that Zhong Bai was from the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry, the comrades from the Planning Department were not too surprised, after all, everyone knew that the automatic drilling and blasting system discussed this time was to solve the problem of underground bauxite mines in Tianhe Province, and it was normal for a comrade from the local Department of Industry to attend.
However, after hearing Zhong Bai's name, Director Janet subconsciously glanced at Zhong Bai who was sitting against the wall.
He looks very young, looking at the information in his hand with his head down, and there is nothing special about it.
Is it this young man who has come up with a different set of proposals and is ready to speak? Looks similar to a high school student with an MD, Janet only looks at Zhong Bai for a few seconds and then leaves him behind.
After Ma Yingsheng finished speaking, it was finally the turn of the MD personnel to speak, of course, as an official of the MD Economic Department, naturally this task fell on the head of Director Janet.
Communicating with people at this level in China, Janet is confident that she does not need to prepare any manuscripts, she said easily: "Friends of China, I am very happy to be able to sit in the same conference room with you in the capital of your country to discuss the underground mining plan, we all know that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and M, our MD has given great support to your country in various fields, and this underground mining plan is also the latest technology brought by our top White mining equipment manufacturing plant in California—— Automatic drilling and blasting system, Wilson, the company's deputy director of sales, and Bradley, technical engineer, will explain more on the details later. ”
"But before that, what I want to express is that unlike the previous technical exchanges, this time the automatic drilling and blasting system is the latest technology in our MD's country, rather than selling the eliminated second-line technology to you Huaguo, which is also a new attempt in the technical exchanges and assistance between the two countries, we believe that China's economic prospects after the reform and opening up, especially the economic prospects of industrial development are good, so when the time is right, these latest technologies are in addition to exchanges with Europe, You can also share it with friends in China. ”
"And I personally came to participate in this meeting to witness the beginning of this new starting point, so here I wish our cooperation success in my personal name!"
Director Janet's words were high-sounding, not only setting the tone of this meeting as MD's "technical assistance" to China, standing on the so-called moral high ground, but also she did not mention that Ma Yingsheng mentioned in his speech just now that there was another set of alternatives, just as Zhong Bai and his plan did not exist at all, and she was ashamed to predetermined the result first!
When the comrades who did not know the truth heard that a director of the Asian Development Agency of the MD Ministry of Economy had set the tone so high, and it was a tone of celebration of success, everyone applauded, and for a moment the atmosphere in the conference room became as if it was not a negotiation meeting, but the rhythm of a celebration meeting!
Zhong Bai didn't applaud, and he couldn't have applauded.
Because in his eyes, the automatic drilling and blasting system scheme that the other party is preparing to sell in a package is simply no different from grabbing money.
That's right, the automatic drilling and blasting system is also the current first-line underground mine mining scheme in MD China, but it is expensive, and there are many hidden dangers, at least this system in Zhong Bai's memory, the promotion in European countries is not as smooth as Janet boasted!
This thing has to go through a long period of evolution, after all, MD people have always believed that their technology is one of the most advanced in the world, until it has undergone more than ten years of continuous improvement, there is no end in sight, and then because of its own increasingly huge cost and high wear rate of expensive parts and facilities, it was finally announced around 2016 that it will not be updated.
At that time, the underground mining market has already become the world of hydraulic pillar technology, after all, the trend of higher and higher mining costs is unavoidable, and mining companies have begun to make a fuss from the perspective of reducing technical costs, so the single hydraulic pillar roof method with higher comprehensive cost performance has become the mainstream, especially in China, almost occupying more than 95% of the market!
Of course, these future development trends, so many people here only Zhong Bai is clear in his heart, and he does not think that the current planning department does not understand the advantages of the single hydraulic support roof method on the premise that it is a mistake to think that MD's plan is good.
After all, human understanding has historical limitations, and this is especially important in the industrial field.
Zhong Bai only has one thing in his mind now, that is, when it is time for him to speak, how to accurately and ruthlessly point out the unreasonableness and inadaptability of the other party's plan, and quickly explain the advantages of his single hydraulic support roof method to everyone and help the leaders of the division make a scientific judgment.
But just as he was looking down to think, the sharp-eyed Janet found that Zhong Bai seemed indifferent to his speech, not only did she not applaud, but she didn't even raise her head to look at it!
This touched her scales!
After all, I am also the director of the Asian Development Agency, and I should not have come to this level of meeting today, at least I should have sat with the leaders of your Ministry of Economic Affairs and even higher, and I should have made a speech to save face for you.
I didn't expect that on such an occasion, there was a young man who didn't have long eyes who dared not applaud and welcome?
Thinking of this, Janet immediately put away the professional smile on her face, stared in the direction of Zhong Bai and asked, "That young friend, could it be that you don't understand anything about our MD automatic drilling and blasting system, so you don't have any praise?" I heard that there is also a so-called 'alternative' produced by your own China at today's meeting, I wonder if you put it forward? ”
Seeing that Janet's face changed, and she suddenly stared at Zhong Bai and said a long list of English, Director Qi Xiu couldn't help frowning slightly after listening to the translation.
Why did Zhong Bai upset the foreign guests at the beginning of the meeting?
He immediately turned his head and lowered his voice and asked Zhong Bai, "What did you just do?!" Why would Director Janet mention you and your proposal separately? ”
Of course, Zhong Bai could understand English without an interpreter, and in fact, the translator had spoken a little tactfully just now, but he didn't care about Janet's dissatisfaction.
