Chapter 213: Confrontation
Hou Dalin was directly confused by the other party's request, and he couldn't help asking, "Why?" Why can't I sell internationally? ”
"We don't know about this, we just received a notice from China, asking us to find you and inform you of the news, while you signed a contract with a foreign country, causing unnecessary losses."
The other party's words were very polite, but it was basically equivalent to asking three questions and not knowing, and the person was just responsible for telling him the news, as for why it didn't work, the person didn't know.
It doesn't matter if you really don't know or if you don't know. It is important now that he return home as soon as possible and figure out how this happened.
Hou Dalin booked the fastest flight back to the capital, and as soon as he got off the plane, he went directly to pick up his car.
"Got it figured out? Which department did this come from? As soon as Hou Dalin got in the car, he immediately asked this question to the staff here.
"Mr. Hou, what is going on, we still need time to further verify, but the news we have found now should be related to the Beijing Second Machine."
"What? Something to do with the Beijing Erji? This matter can't be compared to the eight poles of the Beijing Second Machine, what can this have to do with them? This surprised Hou Dalin.
"Mr. Hou, after the news came, we launched an investigation from all aspects, and the New Pacific Joint Venture Company is one of the directions of our investigation. After all, when our company was established, it was with the help of the New Pacific brand to go through various procedures, and from the document and legal point of view, our current company belongs to a branch of the New Pacific Joint Venture Company. It's just that the scale of our current branch is much larger than the main factory. ”
"No, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles between each other, we have divided everything from finance, management, and even accounts, in principle, we are two different companies." Hou Dalin also raised this question. He handled the things of the year single-handedly, and in these aspects, he was confident that he would never leave the other party to control him.
"Mr. Hou, of course there is no problem with what you said, but the problem is that our company was originally under the name of New Pacific. As you know, in principle, we can't set up a company on our own. ”
The explanation of his subordinates made Hou Dalin feel tired for a while, yes, the truth is such a fuck, what can he do? No matter how big they are, they can't legally change the fact that they are an affiliated company.
Hou Dalin exhaled deeply, calmed down his mood, and then nodded at the man and let him continue.
"Mr. Hou, what we know is that after the foreign affairs personnel abroad knew that we had developed an advanced five-axis machining machine tool, they sent a telegram to China, and then the relevant departments in China contacted the Beijing Second Machine. After the leader of the Beijing Second Machine made a report to his superiors, within a few days, the news arrived to you. In China, we have never found out which department issued this document. ”
Hou Dalin nodded, since this matter involves the Beijing Second Machine, let's start with the Beijing Second Machine. He asked people to drive the car to the factory area of the New Pacific Joint Venture Factory and found Hou Zhen directly.
"Hou Zhen, tell me, what's going on?" Hou Dalin was very polite at this time, and directly called Hou Zhen by his name.
Hou Zhen's mental state at this time was very bad, and the whole person seemed a little decadent, which made Hou Dalin's heart inevitably pinch up.
"Teacher Hou, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this matter. I'm no longer the director of Kyotji Machine. The order to dismiss me from my post arrived in the factory yesterday and was just announced at a meeting of the factory committee this morning. Hou Zhen was very calm when he said these words, as if he had accepted this reality.
"You were removed? Why? When Hou Dalin heard the news at this time, he was actually not very shocked. After all, there was already a foreshadowing of the previous events, so that he was prepared enough when he heard the news.
"Hehe, Mr. Hou, because you are walking in front of the Beijing Second Machine! This proves that my management of Jingerji is unqualified, and your management is also unqualified. ”
"It's ridiculous! What kind of relationship is between us, who doesn't know this? What leadership responsibilities do you have for us? Besides, I haven't heard of any big problems with the Kyoji opportunity? The reason for your superiors to remove you from your position in this name is not sufficient. ”
Hou Dalin is still sober, and he is now very familiar with the management principles of this set of enterprises in China, and knows that in this case, there is no reason to abolish the director of such a large factory.
Unless......
"Teacher Hou, your prediction of the future was accurate. The newly developed CNC machine tools in our factory have encountered a big bottleneck. At first, it was a computer problem, but later it was basically solved through outsourcing. Then there is the development of key systems such as measuring devices, controllers, etc. However, our product has not officially rolled off the production line, and our R&D funds have been exhausted. Applications are now being made from superiors for follow-up funding. However, the nature of our enterprise determines that it is difficult for us to obtain foreign exchange support from the state.
But at this time, the price of similar products on the market has been directly cut in half. At present, our situation has become very embarrassing, and if we continue to invest in research and development, it is really better to buy imported finished products directly. Because even if we come up with domestic equipment, our price will not be lower than what is sold on the market.
But if we give up research and development and don't produce this kind of model, the huge amount of money we invested in the early stage will be in vain.
So this matter, from top to bottom, is very entangled and very embarrassing. I am the director of this factory and the first person responsible, so what can I do if I make a mistake as the factory director, except for being dismissed! ”
Hou Dalin listened to Hou Zhen's words, although he felt a little sorry for this Hou Zhen in his heart, but he was not surprised by this matter at all.
Because as early as when the New Pacific Joint Venture Company decided on this model, Hou Dalin had already thought of this result. He just didn't expect that this Jinger machine would fall so quickly, what have they done this year? More than 20 million dollars were given to Huo Huo by them.
Hou Dalin shook his head and put this matter behind him. He didn't come today to ask about these things.
"Hou Zhen, I was notified when I was abroad two days ago, saying that our newly developed five-axis linkage machine tool could not be sold to the outside world. I heard that there is also your contribution to the second machine of Beijing, can you tell me about it? What the hell is going on? ”
"Mr. Hou, hahaha, someone just said that you arrived at our Beijing Second Machine, I guessed that you came here, and now I look at it, and it is really so." Before Hou Zhen could start to speak, he didn't even knock on the door, and directly pushed the door in. As he walked, he said something like this.
Hou Dalin didn't bother to get up, sat on the sofa in the factory director's office, and looked up at the people who came in.
This person is none other than the former director of the technical department of Beijing Second Machine, Qin Ming.
Hou Zhen looked at Hou Dalin's attitude, and then thought about Qin Ming's current identity, and didn't want the relationship between Hou Dalin and Jing Erji to be so ugly, so he took the initiative to introduce the two of them.
"Mr. Hou, Mr. Hou, you must know this, and now he has been appointed by the organization as the director of our Beijing Second Machine, and he is also the head of the New Pacific Joint Venture."
"Oh! That should be congratulated, Qin Gong is now the factory director, which is really gratifying. Although Hou Dalin's words were good, there was no meaning of congratulations on his face, and his face at this time became even more gloomy.
Qin Ming didn't care, he just smiled and bypassed this embarrassment. The hand stretched out towards Hou Dalin was also skillfully retracted.
He sat behind the factory director's desk, and then said to Hou Dalin: "Mr. Hou, I accidentally heard your conversation just now, and I probably know something about the five-axis linkage machine tool. ”
"Oh! Then please ask Director Qin to explain my doubts. ”
"Well, Mr. Hou, I have to say that the technical ability of your branch is very strong, and in just one year, you have come up with an advanced machine tool embargoed to us by imperialist countries. This is directly filling the gap in China, and I also heard that your new machine tool has reached the international advanced level, this honor, our new Pacific is very encouraged. ”
Qin Ming didn't say anything else, first brought a high hat to Hou Dalin's extremely new factory.
Hou Dalin didn't speak, just stared at Qin Ming quietly, waiting for his next step.
It is said that this behavior is extremely impolite, but Hou Dalin tore his face with this Qin Ming a long time ago, and at this time, the other party did not say any key information, and he would definitely not show his attitude.
Qin Ming saw that Hou Dalin didn't accept the offer, so he could only continue to talk alone.
"Mr. Hou, the reason why your new machine tool cannot be sold to the outside world is that it has been listed as confidential equipment, and this equipment must first be used in the field of national defense, so based on confidentiality considerations, the superiors asked us to suspend external sales."
"Director Qin, this is not right. I can understand that such equipment is used in the field of defense, and we support it equally. But to say that this reason alone is not allowed to sell our machine tool to the outside world, is it not a good reason?
Director Qin, you are also engaged in machine tools, of course you know that in the design and application of machine tools, his pertinence is very strong, for national defense production of machine tools, we can distinguish from those for external sales, which does not affect the sales of this kind of machine tools, and will not cause any leakage.
If you follow your logic, wouldn't the shipyards that build warships also be able to build ordinary cargo ships? Then the shipyards in the world that build warships must not starve to death. ”
The reason Hou Dalin said is very sufficient, and this is also the truth that everyone in the entire industry knows. However, in many things, people clearly know that there are still some people who have taken advantage of the constraints of various conditions to achieve their ulterior goals.
For example, this Qin Ming, Hou Dalin didn't believe that when the superior leaders asked him, he didn't know this. The reason why he did not explain it to his superiors must have his ulterior motives.
Sure enough, after listening to Hou Dalin's explanation, Qin Ming only smiled slightly, with an expression of knowing everything under control, seeing Hou Dalin was disgusted.
"Haha, Mr. Hou, don't be in a hurry! We still have room for negotiation on this matter.
I think so, your machine tool is indeed able to play a huge role in the field of national defense. Supporting national defense construction is what any of our enterprises should do. However, you also know that your branch factory has a foreign investment background after all, and it is definitely inappropriate for such important technology and equipment to be produced on your side. ”
"Oh? So what do you mean? Could it be that we still need to take out this technology and share it with others? ”
"No, no, no, it's not to share it with others, but to hand over this technology to factories that have national defense equipment production qualifications to manufacture this kind of special equipment."
"Hahaha, Director Qin, you just say that your Beijing Second Machine has this qualification, and our Lihua Machine Tool Factory doesn't have this qualification!" Hou Dalin had already understood at this time, it turned out that the roots were here, this Qin Ming was simply blind, and wanted to use this way to directly get the production technology of this machine tool.
"Mr. Hou, that's not what I said. Your level of secrecy is not enough. When Qin Ming said this, his tone was full of superiority.
Hou Dalin didn't talk to him directly about other nonsense, but said the next question.
"Well, the way you said, we are not unacceptable, not enough is still a problem. The technology we use to produce this kind of machine tool is not all developed by ourselves, and some of it is a ready-made technology from abroad that we directly purchase. For this part, how will Jingerji compensate us? ”
As soon as Qin Ming heard that there was a door, he was in a mood at this time, not to mention how happy he was! How to compensate Hou Dalin's Lihua machine tool, that is something that the superior leaders should consider, not him Qin Ming.
"I can report this to my superiors, don't worry, the country will not let you suffer." Qin Ming didn't get a promise from his superiors at all at this time, but at this time, he had already begun to make a promise to Hou Dalin. From the literal understanding of his words, the state will definitely pay to compensate Hou Dalin for this kind of expenditure.
But Hou Dalin, who has been working in China for several years, could not have imagined that even if he compensated him, at most he would use RMB to make a certain amount of economic compensation. But just one restriction can be fatal to them.
This is not counting, and other enterprises like Beijing Erji, if you really get this kind of technology, you will find that it is far from enough to make this kind of equipment only with production drawings and technical data.
Hou Dalin could imagine that in the future, they would have to come up with all kinds of ways to get rid of their own production equipment, get rid of their trained workers, and even let go of his professional factory.
Really don't doubt their ability, at this time, Hou Dalin's company is only an enterprise under the name of a joint venture company, and if people really want to do this, there are really methods and reasons.
Regarding these, Hou Dalin only took a short time to figure it out.
He stood up slowly at this time, then smiled at Qin Ming, and said: "Director Qin, about this machine tool, to be honest, we haven't completed the final design at all, and we haven't even carried out trial production. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Ming was stunned. Well? What do you mean?
"Isn't that right? The people in the foreign affairs department said, "You have already started sales negotiations abroad, how can it be that you haven't done it yet?" Mr. Hou, this kind of thing can't be joked. If you don't do it, you will be held accountable for this kind of propaganda to the outside world. ”
"Director Qin, thank you for the reminder. We didn't negotiate, let alone advertise! All of this is done by a company called DL Consulting in the United States, and we are not directly involved in it. ”
"You! You guys. Qin Ming did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Hou Dalin to be so "shameless", and directly gave him a salary from the bottom of the kettle.
"Mr. Hou, you can't talk nonsense about this, who doesn't know, this DL consultation is what you opened."
"Director Qin, you can't talk nonsense, the boss of DL Company is called Tong Hui, what does it have to do with me?"
"You, you ....... Mr. Hou, no matter what, you must hand over this kind of technology. Leave it to us Jingerji, and you won't suffer any losses. ”
Qin Ming lost his confidence a little, and at this time, his tone softened involuntarily.
"We don't suffer, but the country suffers a big loss. Director Qin, how much was the R&D expenditure of your factory last year? I don't need to tell you what the situation is now. You want to use our results to make up for your own mistakes, I tell you, no way! ”
After Hou Dalin's contact with Qin Ming, he has basically figured out the logic of the whole thing. He had already concluded that the whole thing was done by this Qin Ming. Not only did they get Hou Zhen down, but now they also want to use their Lihua technology to seek benefits for themselves, and they do not hesitate to damage the interests of the country for this reason, this kind of person, Hou Dalin has already sentenced him to death in his heart.
It doesn't matter if the technology is not good, it is nothing to be a yin, but when you do bad things, you must always have a bottom line! This kind of practice of letting everyone become their own stepping stone really made Hou Dalin angry.
The key is that he still wants Hou Dalin to be a stepping stone for him, who gave you the courage? Do you really think that if you can get Hou Zhen down, become the factory director of Beijing Erji, and become the head of the New Pacific Joint Venture, you will be able to be lawless? Is it true that Hou Dalin is a vegetarian?
Hou Dalin just wants to tell him, you also think too highly of yourself!
