Chapter Ninety-Four: Big and Small Immortals Jump

Meng Ping saw Li Yan's very unhappy expression, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, you see that all the plates are provided by the original supplier, and the materials are all in line with the requirements. ”

Li Yan didn't say anything, just returned to the processing site, picked up the vernier caliper to measure the wall thickness of several key processing parts, and found that all the plates were selected according to the size marked in the drawings, but now the plates on the market are all lower deviations. The so-called positive plate has a lower deviation, but the lower deviation is a little smaller, and the deviation is not more than 0.2 mm.

The 8 mm plate on the market is actually more than 7 mm thick, which is generally 7.5 mm. It is claimed to be an 8 mm positive plate, and the actual thickness is 7.8 mm.

Li Yan asked several key machined parts to directly use materials with a thickness of 10 mm, and the actual thickness was 9.5 mm. But now Meng Ping uses 8 mm plates, and none of the actual measured thickness exceeds 7.5 mm, so these must be scrapped.

When Meng Ping heard that it was going to be scrapped, he immediately quit, and shouted loudly: 'This is no longer profitable, and now it has to be scrapped, if it is scrapped, it will be a miserable loss!'

But Li Yan insisted that it must be scrapped, otherwise the contract would have to be suspended. Li Yan was secretly glad in his heart that this was a formal contract, and he also specifically noted the precautions, otherwise Li Yan would be very passive.

Li Yan knew that he should have been cheated by Boss Yan, he himself was a little old, and there was no one who could take over. He said that he didn't want to do it anymore, and now the general environment is not conducive to the survival of small enterprises, and if he continues to do it, he will not only not make money, but may also lose money, so it is better to leave in time and package and sell all the company's qualifications.

And Meng Ping, who took over, is a white ding in the processing industry. Li Yan didn't know if the Meng Ping in front of him could survive to become a qualified mechanical processing business owner. But Li Yan will not pay this tuition for Meng Ping, only Meng Ping will pay the tuition himself, hoping that he will have enough capital.

Meng Ping walked away very annoyed, he also knew that the contract was very clear, and he only knew a little bit about the processing industry. Meng Ping used to be in trade, and there was no problem in reducing costs, but there were some times when there was a degree of cost compression. For example, the steel plate is the first standard plate, how thick is how thick, the absolute deviation is very small, and the upper and lower deviations of the plate thickness must be within the allowable range.

Now this kind of lower deviation plate was first Wuhan Iron and Steel began to appear, so the market will ask you whether to accept the lower deviation plate, of course, all the information still shows the theoretical thickness, of course, the price is cheap, so the market is very good.

In less than a year, soon there will be no deviation board on the market, and soon there will be no positive board. But at this time, the lower deviation plate (that is, the maximum deviation of 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm) is known as the positive plate, and the lower deviation of the plate is more than 0.4 mm if the word "positive plate" is not specially added.

This is the status quo of China's steel market, Li Yan has no choice, Li Yan is very conscientious about equipment, Li Yan is unwilling to go out of his own equipment is an unqualified product equipment. Li Yan has a rule in his heart, as long as he accepts the contract, he must strictly ensure the quality.

If the thickness of the cylinder plate is 10 mm thick on the drawing, Li Yan will carefully calculate it himself, if Li Yan feels that the margin of this equipment is larger in the design, and the thickness is 10 mm, in fact, 8 mm and 9 mm have fully met the requirements;

However, some equipment, perhaps due to changes in the use environment, or a little change in the customer's requirements, resulting in a small margin of thickness marked on the drawing. Li Yan will keep the thickness marked in the drawings, so he only chooses a plate with a higher thickness, and the thickness specification of the plate above 8 mm is 10 mm, so that the cost of the equipment will increase a lot.

Now the profits of the processing industry are very low, once this cost is added, there is often a loss, so when this happens, Li Yan will write the requirements and responsibilities in the contract in great detail, so as to avoid mutual disputes in the future.

But even though the contract is written clearly and in detail, there are still some people who always ignore the contract. This depends on who takes the initiative on both sides, and the most used by the processor is to press the processed parts and not send them, or deliberately stop work when they are halfway through the processing, and then find the entrusting party to pay.

The biggest advantage of the entrusting party is that it does not pay, but there are some of them who provide their own materials, or the processed parts are more important to the construction period of their entire equipment, and it is too late to find another company for processing, so they can only be led by the nose by the processing plant.

These are always playing with each other, and every business owner, no matter how big or small, is constantly changing between these two roles, and in the constant collision with each other, some collaborators are fixed. The mutual trust between these collaborators is much higher, and the cooperation between them is always put in the preferred position, and the others who come in will give way appropriately.

Fortunately, the Chinese are very smart and diligent, and all industries have no monopoly, so profits are getting lower and lower, and the small enterprises that can survive are all low-priced, have certain ability, have a certain reputation, and are very hardworking and willing to endure hardships.

But these small enterprises have survived to a certain scale through primitive accumulation, and all the previous fine traditions will slowly disappear, and then the vast majority will eventually collapse, and a very small number will become bigger. But these bigger, the differentiation is very serious, the company basically has no money, but the boss is getting richer and richer, bank loans, private loans, gray fund-raising have not entered the company's physical operation, most of them have entered private accounts.

Li Yan is still too late to change a processing plant, but directly terminating this cooperation with Meng Ping basically interrupted the opportunity for future cooperation with Fengtai Co., Ltd. As long as Meng Ping accepts the loss of these processed parts, Meng Ping still earns in principle, but he earns very little, and he can earn the wages of workers.

Many times small businesses are working hard to support their workers, and many small business owners are persevering to support their workers when business is bad. People who run businesses are not just to support themselves, they all have ambitions, they all hope to become a person who can make great achievements through their own efforts, and they all have a heroic dream. But the vast majority of them eventually had to go home, resigned to being bland.

Early the next morning, Meng Ping's wife called Li Yan and told Li Yan that all the problematic processed parts were scrapped, and then hoped to give a certain amount of compensation in the future cooperation, which was the best result for both parties.

Meng Ping's wife, Peng Wenqi, told Li Yan that Meng Ping was indeed a layman in machining, and hoped that Li Yan would have time to go over and have a look in the future. Li Yan told Peng Wenqi that the deputy director of their factory, Yan, was an expert, and he could usually ask him more.

When everything was going according to the predetermined rhythm, when Li Yan was chatting in Wei Chengjun's office, Wei Chengjun told Li Yan that there was a boss who specialized in processing wire cutting and ran away.

"They're all gone, the doors are closed. It is said that the boss gambled and owed money and ran away. His wife ran away with him, which was so annoying! We still have a lot of things to process at their place, and I went to see them yesterday afternoon, saying that they could pick up the goods in a few days. Wei Chengjun shook his head and said.

"I'm not yet. Looking at him as a very honest person, why does he owe money for gambling?" Li Yan said.

"yes, but it seems that he has only recently started gambling, and according to his workers, his wife has caught him several times recently. I don't know what's going on, business is so good, it's too busy. You said that Mr. Lai also gambled, but he was just playing, and he didn't say that he still owed money for gambling. ”

Just as Wei Chengjun finished speaking, Lai Mingchang, who had just entered the door, said: "He was jumped by the immortals, I have played these routines before, and he himself is on the top, otherwise he would not be so miserable, but playing the immortal jump is playing with the greed of the people, being targeted by the immortal jump, as long as you take a small step, basically you can't run away, every step is almost your own volition, and now who will force you with a knife on your neck?"

"It seems that the people who play the fairy jump are all highly intelligent, is it possible that they are all graduates of Harvard University. Li Yan joked jokingly.

"Don't underestimate these people who play fairy jumping, they all have a set, but they are all self-taught, these you readers may not be able to play well, at least they are not wild enough. ”

"Mr. Lai, it seems that you are very good, have you played before?" Li Yan said with a smile.

"That's a necessity, and I make a living from it. We were playing big and wild at the time, and a few people played together, and we were fooling around together all day. Either looking for prey or killing prey. ”

"It's like hunting by you. What are you playing? Li Yan asked with some curiosity.

Wei Chengjun held a cup of hot tea and said with a smile: "He can talk to you about this for most of the day." ”

"Okay, I don't have much time today, so I'll tell you a simple violent and direct one. In the past, transportation and communication were not as developed and convenient as they are now. We found a company that pretended to order a truckload of goods and parked them in the premises we rented. Then they went to eat and drink, the venue seemed quite safe, but when we were drinking, all the goods were emptied, and the old man who guarded the door was also stunned by us, and we cooperated with the police afterwards. ”

"The other party doesn't pursue it?"

"Of course, we have to investigate, but we can't find any evidence, our people are not there, and the old man who guards the door is dizzy. And this site is just a transit place, which looks like it is actually leveled privately to make money. ”

"The police don't care?"

"I want to check, but where can I find it? This company is from other places, and I don't know the place here, so it's not easy to do things. In the end, it was like that, this one was very rich, but at that time I was young, and I didn't save money, and I didn't save any money in the end. So I changed my career to collect rags, and my current level of weight estimation was practiced at that time, not what I bragged about, as long as I mentioned it in my hand, I knew how heavy. ”

Wei Chengjun shook his head on the side, pointed at Lai Mingchang with the lid of the teacup, and added: "That cart of goods was sold twice by them." ”

Lai Mingchang said with a smile: "This is an afterword, it's too long to talk about, no, I still have something to do today, I have to leave quickly, you can continue to talk." ”

Li Yan thought to himself: "Isn't this just a robbery? really responded to the sentence 'support the bold and starve to death the faint-hearted'. ”
