When will I have a long tassel?

"You guys sit down."

Zheng Mingyuan sat behind his big desk, looked up at Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang who were brought in by his secretary, nodded slightly, and motioned for them to sit down.

Tang Zifeng thanked him and sat down on the sofa with Han Weichang. The secretary cast an inquiring look at Zheng Mingyuan. After getting Zheng Mingyuan's approval, he picked up the hot water bottle, poured a cup of boiling water for Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang respectively, and placed them on the coffee table in front of them. Then he pulled up a chair and sat on it. Opposite the two of them.

After everyone sat down, Zheng Mingyuan said to Tang Zifeng: "Your factory director Zhou called me and told me about this matter. I told him on the phone that we are not considering purchasing this machine tool from China at the moment. The ministry has also approved our application to import machine tools from abroad.”

"Yes, we are aware of this situation." Tang Zifeng said.

"So, what do you want to talk about when you come to my place?" Zheng Mingyuan asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "Director Zheng, according to what we have learned, although the ministry has agreed to Xizhong importing a heavy boring and milling machine from abroad, Xizhong has not signed a contract with a foreign manufacturer so far, so Director Zhou feels that We may have another chance."

"In fact, Xizhong originally planned to purchase this heavy boring machine from our Linyi Machinery. It was only because Linyi Machinery had some internal management problems at that time that it was unable to undertake such equipment, so Xizhong had to consider importing it from abroad. Yes, is this the case?"

Zheng Mingyuan said: "That's not entirely the case. Indeed, we first contacted Linyi Machinery. After all, Linyi Machinery is one of the best in the country in terms of heavy boring. We also bought a Linyi Machinery Changying brand landing machine in the past. Boring machine, overall it’s pretty good.”

"However, compared with products from RB, Germany, and Italy, the performance and quality of our domestic heavy boring machines are still far behind. Our Xizhong Group undertakes equipment for national key projects and has very high requirements for machining accuracy, so Where possible, we would still prefer to import this equipment from abroad."

"You just said 'under possible circumstances', so are there some impossible factors?" Tang Zifeng asked keenly.

Zheng Mingyuan was slightly startled, then smiled faintly and said, "Assistant Xiao Tang, you are overthinking. We did encounter some difficulties some time ago. At that time, Western countries were still imposing sanctions on us, and we introduced heavy boring machines. Negotiations are not going well.

But since the second half of last year, the Western blockade on us has been lifted, and several foreign manufacturers have promised to provide us with heavy boring machines. We are just comparing prices with them now, and it is estimated that we will sign a contract soon, so there is no problem. possible factors. "

"But, Director Zheng, our heavy boring machines are much cheaper than foreign heavy boring machines, and there is no obvious difference in processing accuracy. In terms of cost performance, it should be more cost-effective for Xizhong to buy our heavy boring machines." Tang Zifeng said.

Zheng Mingyuan said: "I admit that your products have some advantages in price, but this is not the focus of our consideration. In order to ensure product quality, we can afford to spend a little more money on equipment."

Tang Zifeng said: "This is not a matter of spending a little more money. An imported heavy boring machine costs at least 15 million, and it uses foreign exchange. The price of the heavy boring machine we provide can be less than 12 million, all paid in RMB .Would Xizhong not consider the price difference of at least 3 million?"

Zheng Mingyuan shook his head decisively and said: "It is impossible for us to consider purchasing from Linyi Machinery at present. The price difference of more than 3 million is indeed more attractive, but we still have to consider future production needs. If we are greedy for cheap now, we will not be able to produce in the future. When all kinds of problems arise, we lose more than we gain.”

"Director Zheng, we..."

Tang Zifeng still wanted to make some efforts, but the secretary had already taken a hint from Zheng Mingyuan. He stood up, walked to Tang Zifeng, interrupted him, and said, "Assistant Tang, I'm sorry, Director Zheng has more important work here. Do you think we are done here today?"

Tang Zifeng looked at Zheng Mingyuan and found that Zheng Mingyuan had lowered his head to look at the documents on the table. It seemed that Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang were non-existent transparent objects.

Faced with Zheng Mingyuan's contempt, Tang Zifeng had nothing to do. Xizhong's level is half a level higher than that of Linyiji. Even if Zhou Heng comes to the door in person, Zheng Mingyuan can't give him face, let alone a little Tang Zifeng.

"Assistant Tang, what do you think we should do?"

Coming out of Zheng Mingyuan's office, Han Weichang asked Tang Zifeng. After asking, he came up with a clever plan and said: "Otherwise, just like we did with Jin Che last time, we can find some excuse for them and force this person named Zheng to bow his head.

I heard that many companies buy foreign equipment in order to gain benefits from foreign manufacturers. Some foreign manufacturers will provide opportunities for people here to travel abroad. Do you think Zheng Mingyuan also takes advantage of others? "

"Old Han, you think your life is too long, don't you?" Tang Zifeng scolded angrily, "Last time, Jinche owed us money, and they were the first to take responsibility. If we went too far, we wouldn't tell anyone. It still makes sense. Now Xizhong wants to buy a piece of equipment from abroad and doesn’t want to use our Linyi Machinery products. What’s wrong with this? In order to boost business, we are collecting other people’s clues like we did last time. I really think they are Is the security guard vegetarian?"

"Is there any difference?" Han Weichang muttered in a low voice, but he accepted Tang Zifeng's statement in his heart.

Everything must be done with a teacher's reputation. If you refuse to pay back the gold car, you are justified in counterattacking at the first opportunity. That's why Tang Zifeng dared to threaten Song Fulai and Ge Zhongle with photos last time.

But this time, Zheng Mingyuan didn't offend Lin Yiji. He threatened others for a piece of business and deserved to be beaten up.

In fact, it's not that Han Weichang doesn't understand this truth. He's just a little obsessed with money, which is why he came up with such a bad idea. The price of a heavy boring machine is more than 10 million yuan. Even if he gets a 5‰ commission, it still costs 50,000 yuan. This is why his head is spinning.

Tang Zifeng did not continue this topic, but frowned and asked Han Weichang: "Old Han, do you know anyone in Xizhong?"

"No." Han Weichang shook his head and said.

"You can have this." Tang Zifeng inspired.

"It's really not..."

"Can't you find a way to meet one?"

"Hey, when you put it like that, I really think there can be one..." Han Weichang's eyes lit up and he said.

What Han Weichang said "maybe" was not that he really knew anyone in Xizhong, but that he remembered that he had a relative who had a few twists and turns in Jianhe City, where Xizhong is located. He had met this relative once in Linhe seven or eight years ago, and he had no contact with him since then.

Tang Zifeng asked him to find a way to get to know someone from Xizhong, and he thought he could start with this relative.

After hearing Han Weichang's explanation, Tang Zifeng took him to the Jianhe Telecommunications Building without saying a word and asked him to start making phone calls.

Han Weichang did not have the contact information of this relative in Jianhe. He needed to call Linhe first, find other relatives to ask for this relative's phone number, and then contact this relative, and then introduce Xixi through this relative. important relationship.

The phone call lasted a full two hours, and the phone bill alone cost more than 200 yuan. Tang Zifeng asked Han Weichang to pay this money out of his own pocket without hesitation. Han Weichang was heartbroken, but he had to agree. Years ago, Tang Zifeng took Han Weichang to Jinnan to sell balers. The commission that Han Weichang should receive was 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Now spending 200 yuan on a long-distance call was nothing.

That night, Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang opened a private room in a high-end restaurant in Jianhe City. After sitting down and waiting for about half an hour, a man in his early 40s wearing glasses walked in under the guidance of the waiter. , as soon as he entered the door, he asked with a confused face: "Excuse me, who is Section Chief Han from Linhe?"

"I am." Han Weichang stood up, walked forward with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, are you Section Chief Pan from the Xino Production Department?"

The man shook hands with Han Weichang and said, "Yes, I am Pan Shikai. Lao He said that you are his relative and want to find someone from Xizhong to learn about the situation. I must declare in advance that if it involves our factory It’s not convenient for me to disclose your secrets. This is not a matter of not giving you face, Chief Han. You should be able to understand, right?"

"Understood, understood." Han Weichang said, "I am also in the company, so I still understand these rules. Come on, Section Chief Pan, please take a seat first. Let me introduce to you, this is our factory of Linyi Machinery Assistant to the chief, Tang Zifeng, is my leader."

"Oh, Assistant Tang, I'm sorry." Pan Shikai, who had already taken his seat, bowed as a gesture of greeting to Tang Zifeng. Linyiji is also a well-known company in China. With Pan Shikai's age, it is impossible not to know the level of Linyiji. As the assistant to the factory director of Linyiji, Tang Zifeng was definitely above Pan Shikai, so he needed to make a respectful gesture.

Of course, he just needed to make a gesture. No matter how high Tang Zifeng is, he can't care about Xizhong's affairs, so Pan Shikai doesn't need to be afraid of Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng smiled and said, "You're welcome, Section Chief Pan. We are from two companies. Otherwise, we shouldn't address each other by different titles. I'll call you Lao Pan, and you'll call me Little Tang. What do you think?"

"That's fine." Pan Shikai responded. He still hasn't figured out what kind of medicine the two people from Linhe are selling in the gourd. He was entrusted by others, and the other party has no binding force on him. Since the other party wanted to appear more intimate, he would just let him. Anyway, he knows what to say and what not to say, and he is not afraid of sugar-coated bullets thrown by the other party.
