Chapter 588: Bitter Mouth
Wang Weidong's visit to the capital this time was mainly to deal with Vice Minister Lu's emotional problems. Now Vice Minister Lu is very dissatisfied with him to Sunningdale!
In China, there are thousands of cadres at the level of Vice Minister Lu, but behind Vice Minister Lu is the country.
What is the country? The state is the customs, the tax department, the transportation department, the bank, the public security department, and so on and so forth!
Wang Weidong kept warning himself in his heart, that is, in the future, the scale of Xiangyang Electronics will be 1,000 times and 10,000 times larger than now, and he must keep in mind that a hair of the country is 1,000 times thicker than his waist!
And you can't be like some entrepreneurs, who get carried away when their business has a little scale, and no one cares about it!
After Wang Weidong arrived in the capital, he used the phone number given to him by Shi Yueshuang to call Vice Minister Lu.
After Vice Minister Lu answered the phone, he heard that it was Wang Weidong on the other side of the phone, and his attitude was very cold, no matter what Wang Weidong said, Vice Minister Lu just kept making a hmm-huh sound through his nose.
It wasn't until he heard Wang Weidong say that Xiangyang Electronics had not signed an agreement with Pinzheng TV that his attitude was a little better.
This shows that the transfer of the decoder board movement business can still be saved.
"Leader, I'll invite you to dinner tonight! Report back to you in detail on my thoughts! What do you think? Wang Weidong said.
In the private room of the Jianguo Hotel at night, there were only two people, Vice Minister Lu and Wang Weidong.
Wang Weidong only needs a simple eight dishes and a bottle of Wuliangye.
He held the wine bottle in both hands and respectfully poured wine for Vice Minister Lu.
Seeing Wang Weidong's attitude, Vice Minister Lu was very satisfied.
"Weidong, I heard that the price you negotiated with Pinzheng TV is lower than the price given by the two state-owned enterprises, is there really such a thing?" Vice Minister Lu asked.
"Yes, it is!" Wang Weidong replied honestly.
The two state-owned enterprises offered higher, but the payment was slow, and it took a year to get a bank loan.
Pinzheng TV is a private enterprise with good operating conditions and sufficient cash flow, Yang Ruhai promised Wang Weidong that it would be paid off three months after signing the agreement.
"Weidong, it's not good for you to do this, why do you favor one over the other?" Vice Minister Lu said dissatisfied.
Wang Weidong did not answer the question directly, but asked: "Vice Minister Lu, do you remember that in 85 years, you discussed with me on behalf of the Xiangyang Chemical Plant about the transfer of the radio plant?" ”
Hearing Wang Weidong's words, Vice Minister Lu's face became gloomy.
That incident later had a very bad impact on him, and the deputy director he sent to manage the radio factory became a corrupt criminal, and the radio factory closed down due to poor management.
When people were talking behind their backs, they all said that it was a bad move for Director Lu to take over the radio factory with 300,000 yuan, and some people even suspected that he had financial problems.
"Vice Minister Lu, if Deputy Director Fang didn't guard those two universities after managing the radio factory, but continued to expand sales channels, there are dozens of universities in Hei Province alone, how many new college students are enrolled every year? Two years ago, you also went to the Xiangyang Chemical Factory, and saw that Wang and we took over the radio factory again, and there were 40,000 or 50,000 radios on the account, but the actual inventory was only more than 10,000! Ten years have passed, and not a single new product has been developed at the radio plant, and it is still the four old radios when we handed it over! There is nothing wrong with you taking over the radio factory, what is wrong is management! Wang Weidong said bitterly.
Hearing Wang Weidong say this, Vice Minister Lu's face completely softened.
"Weidong, do you mean that those two state-owned enterprises are not suitable to take over the decoder board movement business of Xiangyang Electronics?" Vice Minister Lu asked.
"Not suitable!" Wang Weidong said simply.
Next, Wang Weidong patiently explained to Vice Minister Lu little by little.
"To tell you the truth, two years ago, when we at Sunningdale Electronics first started to produce decoder board movements, it was really profitable! At that time, a VCD machine could be sold for more than 2,000 yuan in the market, and it was in short supply! But now it doesn't work, you know, the Chinese are the best at fighting price wars, and they will only fight price wars! Now a VCD machine only sells for 14500 yuan, or even close to 1,000 yuan! Margins are low. Wang Weidong said.
"Even so, you Xiangyang Electronics still have money to make, there are hundreds of millions of families in China, and VCD machines are in great demand." Vice Minister Lu still said unwillingly.
"Vice Minister Lu, the competition between the decoder board and the movement is open, in addition to our production at Sunning, Sony and Phillip also provide the movement and decoder board to Chinese manufacturers, and the competition between them in terms of quality and price is very fierce! It's not easy to make money, if you can make the production of decoder board movements like a gas station, only this one has no other branches, of course it's good, if you want to sell for 3,000, if you want to sell 4,000, if you want to sell 4,000, it's 4,000! But I can't do it now. Wang Weidong said.
Vice Minister Lu nodded slowly, he didn't want to hear the word competition.
The experience of more than a decade has taught him that the more competition there is, the more likely it is that state-owned enterprises will lose.
"The burden of history is too heavy!" Vice Minister Lu shook his head helplessly and said.
Wang Weidong also cooperated and nodded with Vice Minister Lu.
"If Vice Minister Lu, you are still unwilling, I can immediately stop the business negotiations with Pinzheng TV, you designate one of the two state-owned enterprises, and we Xiangyang Electronics will immediately sign an agreement with them to give the price for the product! I am also a child of the military industry, and I still have this ideological awareness! Wang Weidong said.
Vice Minister Lu looked at Wang Weidong, and he hesitated.
More important than making results is not making mistakes! If the situation like Wang Weidong said really occurs, what kind of eyes will others look at him when he walks around the agency compound after he retires in the future?
Do you think that this old guy knows that he is about to leave, so he behaves nonsense and has unclean hands and feet?
"I'm afraid that in the future, someone will suspect that your old man is colluding with Xiangyang Electronics, and then your old man will be out of luck!" Wang Weidong said.
This sentence reached Vice Minister Lu's heart.
After eating, Wang Weidong sent Vice Minister Lu all the way to the door of the organ compound, and the two shook hands and said goodbye.
Vice Minister Lu held Wang Weidong's hand and said with emotion: "There is still a shortage of talents in our organs and enterprises, and there is a lack of talents like Weidong!" ”
"I'd be a prick in the face if I were in the factory! An honest and hard-working person like my eldest brother is a good worker! Wang Weidong replied.
Ou Xiaoyang is very troubled now, he has obtained the status of a resident of Hong Kong Island, but his daughter-in-law is unwilling to follow him to Hong Kong Island, so Ou Xiaoyang has not even bought a house on Hong Kong Island so far.
"It's so comfortable to be at home as a broad wife! Intellectuals like to learn to read, so prepare a study room of several hundred square meters for her! Wang Weidong said.
"But she still wants to teach at the university." Ou Xiaoyang said helplessly.
"You go home and convey my respect to Madame Zun! In the future, we can move her to teach on Hong Kong Island, and changing her Hong Kong Island identity will not prevent her from teaching at Beijing University. It is very convenient to fly back to Hong Kong Island on the weekend! Wang Weidong said.
