Chapter 1216: Extraordinary Meeting
Faced with Zhou Feng's question, Xu Weiwei couldn't refute it for a while, she could only look at Li Siwen, Xu Di and the others also cast a look of nothingness, after all, what Zhou Feng said was not unreasonable, how could all the funds of nearly 10 billion yuan be used to buy equipment.
"Mr. Li, give me an explanation!" Zhou Feng continued to ask aggressively.
"Explain?" Li Siwen smiled contemptuously: "Why do I have to explain it to you? You are also a master who is crawling in the officialdom, have you ever seen a leader explain to his subordinates? ”
Zhou Feng was choked by Li Siwen a little uncomfortable, and gritted his teeth and said, "Li Siwen, do you really regard yourself as a leader?" I'm telling you, if you don't make it clear, I'll report it directly to the top. ”
"That's your freedom, I have no right to interfere, you just need to understand one thing." Li Siwen paused slightly: "Here, I have the final say." ”
Zhou Feng's face darkened, and he walked out of the conference room angrily, at this time, Xu Di said cautiously: "Mr. Li, I know that Director Zhou's words just now are a little impolite, but what he said is not unreasonable, although the total investment amount of this project has been fully paid, but the articles of association do stipulate that the purchase fee for the introduction of equipment cannot be higher than 40%.
Both the Hujiang General Office and the Ministry of Electrical Engineering have emphasized the need to ensure the effective use and safe whereabouts of the funds before coming here, and Lao Hu and I also have the right to supervise them. ”
"Lao Xu is right, this money is very important, although it is said that you are fully responsible, but the procedure still has to go, and Lao Xu and I must report this matter." Hu Lixin also spoke.
"Deputy Xu, Minister Hu, you can report this matter how you want, I can spend this money how I want, I'll take it with me if something happens, don't think about it so much, my billions of companies are still in Huaxia, are you still afraid that I will abscond with the money?" Li Siwen said with a smile.
"Not really, after all, you're the one you trust from above." Xu Di smiled awkwardly: "Let's have a meeting first!" ”
"Okay." Li Siwen sat up straight, and then said: "Today we met with the first batch of six technology companies, that is, recommended by Director Zhou, according to the information we have, although the strength of these six technology companies is average, some of the equipment and patented technology they have on hand are still very valuable, so we want to set up a negotiation team, with Vice Mayor Xu and Minister Hu as temporary team leaders, responsible for the next negotiations with these six technology companies."
My requirement is not only to ensure speed, but also to ensure low prices, it is best to get some more advanced patented technology from these companies, my requirements are only one point, even if it is broken copper and iron as long as the price is reasonable, I will ship it back to China. ”
"Okay, we'll take care of that." Xu Di and Hu Lixin nodded at the same time.
"Today is April 6th, and we need to return to China on May 6th, which means that we will have a maximum of one month." Li Siwen added.
"Is it so urgent?" Xu Di asked rhetorically.
Li Siwen took a deep breath, the Wassenaar agreement was signed in July, and the United States began to operate in various countries before it was signed, if you don't hurry up, even if the contract is signed, things may not be shipped back.
"Urgent, very urgent, by the way, pick a few good English, tomorrow I will go to KLM Airlines, charter five Airbus transport planes, and the date will be on May 6."
After Li Siwen said this, everyone at the scene was a little dumbfounded, and Xu Di even swallowed and spitted at the mouth: "Do you want to charter a plane to transport the equipment back to China?" This is too extravagant and wasteful, right? Our business dealings with Europe are basically based on sea transportation! ”
"Is it worth taking the risk of billions of goods, passing through several straits, even if the road is smooth and there is the notorious Indian Ocean? And the fastest shipping will take a month, what if something happens on the way? Li Siwen asked rhetorically.
"There is some truth to it, that is, air freight is too expensive." Xu Di muttered.
"I think Mr. Li has a point, billions of dollars have been spent and the transportation costs are almost gone?" Hu Lixin chose to support Li Siwen.
Xu Di also nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I'll arrange this matter." However, the airline will definitely ask us to provide some legal transportation procedures, as well as documents to occupy the route. ”
"Don't worry, I'll arrange that." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he glanced at everyone: "The rest is to negotiate with first-line companies, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, which of you knows more about these companies?" ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally Hou Weigui stood up and said, "Mr. Li, let me talk about it!" ”
"Okay."
"The eleven companies we met today belong to the monopoly existence in the field of semiconductors in Europe, the first major enterprise is naturally Philips, whether it is ASML or NXP belong to Philips' independent department, ASML's main direction is lithography machine, NXP is mainly responsible for Philips's chip design and production, if we want to buy a complete chip production line, Philips is the best choice.
Siemens' independent divisions, Infineon and STMicroelectronics, also have certain strengths, such as Infineon's ion implantation equipment, as well as STMicroelectronics' light source microcontrollers, TRUMPF lasers, Zeiss lenses, etc., are all we need.
To put it simply, there is everything we want to buy, but it doesn't necessarily matter if they sell it or not. ”
Hou Weigui said with a wry smile: "We ZTE have always wanted to buy light source microcontrollers, but they don't sell them at all. ”
"This is also what I am worried about, these first-line companies, the equipment in their hands are the world's top, it is difficult to let them sell, these people are likely to sell some equipment to us." Xiang Dadong also said.
"It depends on what we do next, Lao Hou, Lao Xiang, you know more about this than I do, so we will form a group of negotiations with first-line enterprises." Li Siwen said.
"Okay, it's okay for the two of us." The two replied.
"In addition, ask the CEOs of the companies in China who have not come, and whether there is any demand for equipment."
Xiang Dadong's eyes lit up and asked, "Is it all reimbursed?" ”
"The previous equipment list can be reimbursed in full, if it is added now, only half of the reimbursement will be given, remember to tell them that there is no such store in this village, and if you want to be one step ahead, you have to be willing to pay for it." Li Siwen said and said to Hu Lixin: "Minister Hu, choose two people from your group with better skills to negotiate with me, which can be regarded as responsible for supervision, ensuring openness and transparency, and dismissing the meeting!" It's not early, everyone go back and have a good rest, tomorrow will be very busy. ”
