Chapter 296: The Fleet Takes Shape
It took almost three months for the investigation to end, and Tang Lun also lost patience and no longer pestered Liu Yi, he found that it was impossible for Liu Yi to compromise because of his entanglement, so he had to give up.
Liu Yi synthesized all the data from all aspects, let the clone system analyze it, and finally came up with a procurement plan given by artificial intelligence.
Liu Yi showed the procurement plan to Feng Kailong, and Feng Kailong revised it according to his own views, and after several revisions and discussions back and forth, he finally determined the procurement plan.
According to this plan, Liu Yi sent different parts to different manufacturers, and when these manufacturers saw the procurement plan, they were all stunned, and they all had the same idea in their hearts: This is too fine, it's just the devil!
It turns out that this procurement plan is divided into many parts, and the same ship must be purchased from at least two or three different manufacturers, so that the manufacturers are always in a state of competition, and it is completely impossible to raise the price, otherwise this part of the order will be snatched up by other manufacturers.
However, these manufacturers can not refuse, although each part of the order is not large, but plus the other part of the order is still a large business, refuse one of them, the other parts do not want to get, so that each manufacturer can not raise the price at will, but also to prevent competition with each other at low prices.
The manufacturers who received the order quietly made a meeting together, which probably means that everyone made an appointment together and raised the price by 30 when replying, so as to make more money.
However, at the meeting, everyone swore that they had their own little abacus after going back, and some manufacturers wanted others to raise prices, as long as I kept the price unchanged, I could immediately squeeze out other manufacturers in the same part, and one person monopolized this part of the order, wouldn't it be better?
Because everyone has their own little abacus, when they reply to the offer, they basically do not raise the price, and some manufacturers even reduce it, in order to squeeze out other competitors.
Liu Yi smiled when he received the offer from the manufacturers, the development of things was really similar to what he expected, these manufacturers all had ghosts in their hearts, although they all said at the meeting that they would raise the price together, but they all wanted to squeeze others away in private, and in the end it was Liu Yi's side that was cheaper.
In the end, Liu Yi didn't even change a number, directly signed these orders, and then sent the orders back to the manufacturers as soon as possible.
Some manufacturers regretted that they not only did not raise the price, but even gave discounts or discounts, but in the end they still failed to monopolize the order.
However, it is too late to regret it now, Liu Yi has already signed, the order has begun to take effect, and tearing up the contract at this time will definitely be taken to court, and the compensation for liquidated damages is huge, no matter which manufacturer will not take this risk.
So the manufacturers of these ships can only comfort themselves, as if this time they are making friends, after all, Liu Yi has promised that the fleet will expand in the future, and there will be more orders for them in the future.
Liu Yi told the people around him about it, and everyone laughed after hearing it, and praised Liu Yi's method again and again, so that these manufacturers had no chance to take advantage of it.
However, there is one person who is an exception, this person is Tang Lun, this time he was very unhappy that he failed to win all the orders alone, and as a result, he suffered a dumb loss when quoting, and Tang Lun was so angry that he threw things in the office.
"Okay, you willow wing! He actually played me like this, and it was thanks to our Tang family to support him single-handedly, what an ungrateful white-eyed wolf! Tang Lun scolded while smashing things, frightening the people around him.
Tang Lun's secretary had never seen Tang Lun make such a big fire, usually Tang Lun always looked flirtatious with a smile, who knew that it was so terrible to start a fire.
The secretary was afraid that Tang Lun would do something irrational, so he quietly made a small report to Lu Mei and asked Lu Mei to persuade Tang Lun.
Lu Mei, who learned of this, rushed from Jieyi to Starlink, and as soon as he entered Tang Lun's office, he saw that the ground was full of messes, as if he had just been hit by a tornado.
"What nerves do you have?" Lu Mei asked with a frown.
Tang Lun snorted and said, "Go!" I don't need you to mix it! ”
"Is it for the sake of the order?" Lu Mei continued.
As soon as Tang Lun heard this, he immediately became angry again, and said scoldingly: "Liu Yi, this little bastard! I was only given such a small order, which was not enough to stuff my teeth! If I see him, I'm going to have to slap him a few times! ”
Lu Mei sneered, sat down on the sofa, and said, "I want to see if you have such guts?" ”
Tang Lun said angrily: "Don't provoke me, if you dare to provoke me, I will really whip him next time!" ”
"Come on, you're just playing tricks, you don't even fart when you see Liu Yi." Lu Mei scoffed.
"What are you talking nonsense? Is there a wife like you? Tang Lun glared at Lu Mei and said.
"Okay, isn't it just an order? This is a big deal, you are the president of Starlink, and you actually lose your temper for this little profit, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes! ”
"You're wrong." Tang Lun retorted: "I'm not angry for this order, but he doesn't take the Tang family and Xinglian in his eyes, and the orders we get are not as many as Juchen Heavy Industries and Dakong, which is really unreasonable!" Now he dares to kick the Star Alliance aside, and I don't know what will happen in the future! ”
Lu Mei listened to Tang Lun's words, and seemed to agree a little, now Liu Yi's identity is different from before, if he continues to grow in the future, the weight of the Star Alliance to Liu Yi will become lighter and lighter.
However, Lu Meilai came today to persuade her husband, not to arch the fire, so she still persuaded herself: "You think too much, now that he has just become the governor, he must always set an example, if he gives all the orders to Starlink, others will say that he is nepotistic and harms the public and private interests." ”
"I think he did it on purpose." Tang Lun still said with resentment: "He did this to gradually weaken the influence of the Star Alliance in Yaqiu, lest we drag back in the future. ”
"Even if that's the case, you can't stiffen the relationship, the old man chose Liu Yi at the beginning, his vision is really powerful, it's only been a few years, he has climbed to this position, and he has caught up with such a good time, he is indeed a rare talent." Lu Mei said.
"What a rare talent, it's a little white-eyed wolf!"
"Who made you not have that ability? Otherwise, why would the old man choose an outsider. Lu Mei said with a hint of resentment in her tone.
Tang Lun's face was a little red, he knew that if this topic continued, Lu Mei would have to turn over the old accounts again.
When Tang Lun was young, he was an out-and-out gentleman, spending all day drinking and being romantic, often leaving Lu Mei at home alone, for which he was almost kicked out of the Tang family by Old Man Tang.
When he got older, Tang Lun gradually regained his heart and honestly began to learn how to run a business.
"Anyway, I don't think this kid Liu Yi is authentic, I must teach him a lesson this time, lest he kick his nose in the face in the future!" Tang Lun hurriedly pulled the topic back again.
Lu Mei saw that Tang Lun had to make Liu Yi ugly, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Tang Lun complained so much, Lu Mei was really afraid that he would tear his face with Liu Yi, so that Tang Jie's deployment in recent years would be in vain, neither Old Man Tang nor Lu Mei could allow such a situation to happen.
Thinking of this, Lu Mei began to bow her head and ponder, Tang Lun chattered and complained for a long time, and suddenly found that Lu Mei had never said a word, looking very preoccupied.
"Why don't you speak? Do you also think that Liu Yi can't teach a lesson? Tang Lun asked.
Lu Mei shook her head and said slowly: "What you said actually has some truth, but you can't go against Liu Yi, that won't be good for us, and the old man won't allow it." ”
Tang Lun couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Lu Mei's eyes had become a little wrong, so he asked, "What do you mean?" Do you have any way to clean up the willow wings? ”
"It's not about cleaning him up, but about finding a way to tie him and Tang Jie firmly together as soon as possible!" Lu Mei said.
"You mean......" Tang Lun gasped and said.
"That's right, Tang Jie and Liu Yi must be married as soon as possible! Only then we don't have to worry! Lu Mei said with a serious face.
After hearing this, Tang Lun's expression suddenly became as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and he said again and again: "Bah, bah! Are you crazy! He still wants me to marry Tang Jie to him, isn't that cheap for nothing! ”
"You must listen to me in this matter, so that you can tie Liu Yi and the Tang family together!" Lu Mei said in an unquestioning tone.
Tang Lun saw that Lu Mei's expression was getting more and more terrifying, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Wife...... Don't be scared. I...... I won't trouble him, don't really marry Xiaojie to him......"
A month later, the first ships on the order arrived, and the highland airport suddenly became lively. These ships are ready-made products, so the various manufacturers ship them quickly.
The news shook Yaqiu, and many idle people went to the highland airport to visit the new ships, and the usually deserted airport suddenly became the most lively place in Yaqiu.
In the past, there were very few ships traveling to and from Yaqiu, except for the fixed interstellar mail ships and some cargo ships transporting ores, basically no other ships arrived, and ten ships could be parked in the airport.
But with the arrival of the first fleet of ships, and dozens of brand-new ships in the Highland Air Harbor, it's no wonder that the locals are so interested.
Liu Yi took various important people of Yaqiu to participate in the reception ceremony, which is also a tradition, and the delivery of the new ship must be carried out in a ceremony, and it must not be sloppy, otherwise it will bring bad luck to the ship in the future.
Although it has reached the era of interstellar colonization, some small superstitions of human beings are still inevitable.
Seeing the representatives of various manufacturers hand over the control of the ship to Feng Kailong, everyone's mood gradually became excited, and having a fleet meant that Yaqiu was no longer the colony that could be bullied.
