Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 562
Chapter 562 Which kind of leather company
In the meeting room of Guodian Company, Zhu Hongxiang reported the bidding situation to other members of the leadership team.
“I thought that Taifeng and Taisheng mines could sell for 1.8 billion yuan, but I didn’t expect them to sell for more than 2 billion yuan!”
“And there are many good additional conditions! For example, the synthetic ammonia and urea projects of Jizhong Coal Industry Group are very good. Our company also has a coal chemical business and can cooperate with Jizhong Coal Industry Group.”
“The conditions provided by the coal import and export company are better. Our company imports a lot of high-end power equipment every year. That little foreign exchange quota is simply not enough. Just importing high-end cables from Germany will cost a lot of foreign exchange. Amount. If you have the help of a coal import and export company, you can import a lot of equipment.”
“I think Yankuang’s conditions are better. I directly bid 2.4 billion, two or three billion more than other companies. I think it’s the most affordable way to get money. You can buy whatever you want with money. It’s more flexible. , It also has more operating space.”
Everyone is discussing each other, and in the end, most people still prefer to take the money directly.
In the end, Secretary Wang, the company’s top leader, gave a dry cough and said: “In comparison, Yankuang’s direct bid price of 2.4 billion is indeed the highest among all bidding companies. After all, other companies’ conditions, It is not worth two or three billion.
However, there is still another company that offers the conditions, we also need to study and discuss it carefully, that is, Dongshan Mining. Dongshan Mining has offered two billion yuan and is also willing to provide us with an axial compressor. ”
“Dongshan Mining? Where is the company? Haven’t heard of it! Isn’t it a leather company?”
“What is an axial compressor? Is it newly developed power equipment abroad?”
“Is this axial compressor very important? Two billion plus this thing, can it be worth the two-four billion of Yankuang?”
Several people uttered questioning voices immediately.
Zhu Hongxiang hurriedly explained; “Axial compressor is the core component of wind tunnel construction. With this equipment, we can build our own wind tunnel.”
Secretary Wang also added; “As you all know, there are many projects in our company’s scientific research that require wind tunnel experiments, especially wind power R&D projects. Without wind tunnel experiments, it is simply difficult to move forward.
However, the duration of the wind tunnel allocated to us by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is simply not enough, and it has seriously affected our scientific research progress. If this continues, I don’t know that a new generation of wind turbines can be built during the year of the monkey.
Wind power research and development is an important task assigned to us by the state, and a key project for our scientific and technological research. The company has already followed this project as the first scientific research task.
To complete the new generation of wind power scientific research projects as soon as possible. At a small scale, wind power stations can be built and bring economic profits to our company; at a large scale, it is to complete the country’s energy strategic layout and ensure domestic energy security. I don’t need to talk any more nonsense.
I don’t want to hide it from you. Mr. Xia heard about this equipment, so he directly frustrated me. He almost lived in my office yesterday and insisted that I get this axial compressor. You also know Mr. Xia’s temper. You used to dared to go to the Electric Power Department to pat the table with the leaders.
And the construction of a wind tunnel is indeed a great help to our company’s scientific and technological research and development process. Wind power research and development is not an overnight task. After completing this pending research and development, we still need to do next-generation research and development, and we still need to use the wind tunnel.
So after thinking twice, I agreed to Mr. Xia to get this axial-flow compressor and build our own wind tunnel laboratory. ”
Someone immediately said, “But this Dongshan Mining only bid 2 billion, which is a full 400 million less than Yankuang. This is equivalent to spending 400 million on this axial compressor!
But is this axial compressor worth four hundred million? If this thing is not very valuable at all, isn’t our company at a loss? ”
“President Zhu, can you explain to everyone?” Secretary Wang looked at Zhu Hongtao.
Zhu Hongxiang nodded and said immediately; “First of all, I want to explain that this axial compressor, Mr. Xia has taken people to inspect the goods, the machine is no problem, it is made in the former Soviet Union, and it is strong and durable. .
Let me talk about the price issue. I asked experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find out. In 1995, the California Institute of Technology in the United States, that is, the university where Mr. Qian served as a professor, built a large wind tunnel, which almost cost. 50 million dollars. ”
“50 million US dollars, that is more than 400 million yuan!” someone said.
“They spent 50 million US dollars to build the entire wind tunnel. We are just a piece of equipment. It is definitely not expensive. Also, things in the United States must be expensive, so there is no discount for them in China!” another person said.
“The equipment in the United States is more advanced than the Soviet Union? As far as I know, their Kendo experiments are all controlled by computers. Just press a few buttons and the results of the experiment will come out. Soviet equipment can’t do this, so the Soviet equipment should be Cheaper than American equipment.” Someone said again.
“Counting this way, even if you add inflation, this axial compressor produced in the former Soviet Union is not worth four hundred million!”
Everyone quickly came to this conclusion.
“Then let Yankuang win the bid, after all, it is 2.4 billion!”
“But what about the scientific research side? Without a wind tunnel, the research and development of wind power projects will be affected.”
It is not worthwhile to spend four hundred million for an axial compressor, but if you don’t buy it, scientific research will be affected, and everyone is caught in a dilemma.
If it is a private enterprise, you probably don’t need to make a choice, just choose 2.4 billion.
But the State Power Corporation is a central enterprise, and it is also an enterprise that is related to people’s livelihood. What they care about is not profit, but the protection of people’s livelihood. For this reason, they can sacrifice profits or even lose money.
Looking at the future State Grid, you will know that even in the most remote mountainous areas, it will be powered on. In terms of construction costs, this is definitely a loss, but from the perspective of people’s livelihood, it is something that must be done.
If you are in a capitalist country, remote areas will probably fend for themselves. If you want to use electricity, you can buy generators yourself.
The same is true of the facts. The last electrified village in China was Changjiang Village, Qumalai County, YSCZ Zhizhou. The electrification project finally arrived there in 2015, allowing the villagers there to use electricity.
At the same time, there are still many Indian reservations in the United States that have not been powered on.
In 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported that more than 10,000 residents of an Indian reservation in Utah are expected to be electrified in 2017.
The reason why they are able to use electricity is not because the country has built a power supply facility for them with great kindness, but because a newly developed shale oil field nearby requires electricity. The distance between the lines passing this Indian reservation is relatively short, and this Indian reservation Residents of the area used electricity by the way.
…
For the State Power Company, protecting people’s livelihood is the first priority. To complete the research and development of a new generation of wind power equipment and achieve the country’s strategic layout for power security is definitely more important than earning 400 million yuan.
Everyone was silent for half a minute, and someone said, “Since the wind tunnel is so important to our scientific research projects, why don’t we buy an axial compressor by ourselves, why have to let the bidding company give it away?
Anyway, the Americans build a wind tunnel laboratory, which is 50 million U.S. dollars, which is about 400 million yuan. An axial compressor can support 100 million yuan, right?
Let’s accept Yankuang’s quotation of 2.4 billion, and then take out 100 million to buy an axial compressor, can’t we make another 300 million! Such skills ensure that the company’s interests are maximized, and it can give Mr. Xia an explanation. ”
Secretary Wang immediately replied: “I have considered the plan you mentioned. The problem is that we can’t buy a high-power axial compressor at all.”
“Does it need to use a large amount of foreign exchange?” the person asked next.
“No, it’s because of technical control.” Secretary Wang continued: “The wind tunnel laboratory was originally intended for military use. For example, the research and development of aircraft and missiles requires the use of wind tunnel laboratories. So even if we If they are willing to pay, foreigners are not willing to sell our axial compressors.
It’s not that our company can’t spend 400 million. If we can buy it directly with money, we would have built the wind tunnel long ago, and it would take the time to queue up for the experiment at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ”
“Where did Dongshan Mining get the axial compressor?” the person asked again.
“This is unclear.” It was Zhu Hongxiang who answered this time. He went on to say: “However, it is certain that this type of mechanical equipment of axial compressor is definitely not a mass-produced product.
Even if you can buy it with money, you will have to wait a long time before you can deliver it when you find a manufacturer to order. So if we miss this axial compressor, we don’t know how long we will have to wait before we meet the next one. ”
Everyone in the conference room fell into silence again. This axial compressor is obviously not worth 400 million yuan, but it is something that can’t be bought with money. Moreover, there is no shop in this village, which is indeed very good. Difficult to choose.
A moment later, someone asked again; “What is the origin of Dongshan Mining? Why haven’t I heard of it before? Is it a subsidiary of a major coal company?”
Zhu Hongxiang looked at the information in his hand: “I have also conducted investigations in this regard. Dongshan Mining is a recently established company with a registered capital of 100 million yuan. The nature of the company is a limited liability company and a private enterprise.”
“Private enterprises? That is the kind of wealthy individual bosses who think coal mining will make more money, so they register a leather bag company and want to buy a few mines as coal bosses?”
“But a very wealthy individual boss who can get two billion!”
“No matter how rich it is, it is still not a bag company!”
Everyone, you and me, the tone is obviously full of prejudice against Dongshan Mining. In their eyes, Dongshan Mining is probably the kind of self-employed contracting coal mines, but it is just an upgraded version.
“If it’s just a leather bag company, that would be easy. Let’s talk to Dongshan Mining directly and ask them to sell this axial compressor to us! A leather bag company, can we still give Guodian face? If it’s a big deal, I’ll give them thousands more, just as compensation.”
“It makes sense, Yankuang’s 2.4 billion, we still have to ask for it, and then take out tens of millions from it. The leather bag company, a leather bag company, can earn tens of millions, and it should be We are so grateful!”
This method is supported by most people.
“Since everyone’s opinions are relatively unified, let’s send someone to this Dongshan Mining to discuss the purchase of an axial flow compression molding machine.” Secretary Wang said and looked at Zhu Zhu Hongxiang: “Zhu, who do you think is more appropriate? Woolen cloth?”
Zhu Hongxiang thought for a while and said, “Let Cheng Yu from the Legal Department go to the negotiation. He was originally an electrical engineer, and he taught law by himself and passed the judicial examination. This kind of negotiation is a comparison to him. Safe.”
“Good too.” Secretary Wang nodded, and then ordered: “Let Cheng Yu come to my office. Let me ask him a few words first.”
…
“Weidong, Guodian contacted me and said that they wanted to talk to us about buying an axial compressor. We gave it as a gift, but they didn’t want it. They had to spend money to buy it. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?” Zhao Jinshan asked.
Li Weidong pondered for a moment, and then replied: “Guodian Corporation has taken a fancy to our axial compressors, but it seems that the two billion quotations we have given are too small.
I guess there must be a large coal company that offered a high price that Guodian Company couldn’t break, but they reluctantly gave up this axial compressor, so they decided to buy it directly. ”
“That said, the bidding for Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine is going to be yellow?” Zhao Jinshan frowned.
“Can’t say the same, maybe there is still a chance.” Li Weidong said.
“How should I reply to the people from Guodian Company?” Zhao Jinshan then asked.
“Since they want to talk, let’s just take care of the plan and set up a bureau for them!” Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then asked, “You haven’t given the nuclear reactor core to the Institute of Nuclear Research, right?”
“No, I am busy bidding for coal mines soon after I come back, and I haven’t had time to deal with the core matter.” Zhao Jinshan said.
Li Weidong nodded: “That’s right, the negotiation is just right, and the few Belas dump trucks are also replaced with new tires, and then painted with a layer of paint. Come bluff!”
…
Guodian company negotiators are on their way to the negotiation site.
Sitting in the car, Cheng Yu looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, and found that he had reached the outskirts of the city.
The assistant next to complained: “The leather bag company is a leather bag company, and it doesn’t even have a decent office location. We are here to negotiate and we are going to the warehouse! The warehouse is still in the suburbs, so we have to travel so far.”
“It should be to save money! After all, the rent in the suburbs is cheap!” The driver continued while driving;
“But renting a meeting room in a hotel in the city is not too expensive. It doesn’t cost a lot of money. I don’t want to spend the money for renting a meeting room. This is really a leather company!”
Cheng Yu smiled and said: “Leather bag companies have the benefits of leather bag companies too! Leather bag companies are small and thin, and they can easily be satisfied. Negotiations will be smoother. Maybe we just ask for a price. They hurry. I agree!”
“If you want me to say, negotiating with this kind of leather bag company, you don’t need to go out in person, use a sledgehammer, and we can come.” The assistant flattered.
Cheng Yu readily accepted the assistant’s flattery, and said at the same time: “The company sent me here. Obviously, it pays more attention to this axial compressor. Therefore, we can only succeed in this trip, not a failure. We must use the lowest value. The price, take this axial compressor.”
A few people are talking, the car has arrived at the negotiation site, which is a large old factory area with a large warehouse and a large yard.
Someone was waiting at the door early, and when they saw Cheng Yu’s car approaching, they immediately greeted him.
“Is this Manager Cheng? My surname is Liu and I am the secretary of Mr. Zhao. You can call me Xiao Liu.” The other party introduced himself.
Cheng Yu suddenly felt a little disliked, but he was the negotiator sent by the State Power Corporation, and he was a big money owner who spent tens of millions on buying equipment. A leather company in Dongshan Mining District must not treat himself as a bodhisattva for life!
Even if the general manager of Dongshan Mining does not come to greet him personally, he must send a more important person to greet him? How come I only sent a young secretary here, this is too ignorant of etiquette!
“Probably because this is only a leather bag company, there are not many people at all, so I can only send a secretary to greet him!” Cheng Yu comforted himself in his heart.
The secretary led Cheng Yu into the large courtyard, only to see the dust in the courtyard, the roar of the machine from not far away.
Cheng Yu subconsciously turned his head and looked, only to see a few brand-new mining dump trucks coming towards him.
“Manager Cheng, let’s get out of the way and don’t get hit by the car.” The secretary hurriedly invited Cheng Yu aside.
The volume of mining dump trucks is much larger than that of ordinary trucks. The roar of the large-displacement engine is also very loud, especially when the car passes in front of it, it will make people feel insignificant.
There is a thing called giant phobia, which is the fear of seeing very huge things. This is actually an instinct of creatures. When most creatures see things that are much larger than themselves, they will subconsciously feel scared.
Although mining dump trucks are not up to the “Giant Wo” standard, if such a big thing passes in front of you, it will still make people feel uneasy.
When the mining dump truck passed by, Cheng Yu instinctively took a step back, and then looked at the cart passing by.
“This is a mining dump truck, or don’t know it! This thing is a treasure in the mine!” Cheng Yu secretly said in his heart.
The secretary next to him explained, “We Dongshan Mining is in the coal mine business, and coal mining is definitely indispensable for vehicle transportation. Therefore, our company has imported dozens of Belarus mining dump trucks from Belarus. These are the first. The shipment arrived not long ago and it just happened to be tested.”
“You mean, you are going to use Belas’ mining dump trucks to pull coal? There are dozens of them?” Cheng Yu asked in a little surprised.
“Look at what you said, we even bought the car, of course we need to use it! Don’t let it rust.” The secretary replied with a smile.
Cheng Yu suddenly frowned, and said in his heart: “What’s the situation? These days, when a leather bag company is digging for coal, it must be equipped with Belas mining dump trucks? Our company’s own large coal mines are not used. Start this thing?”
At the end of the 1990s, the first generation of Jiefang had not been completely eliminated. In many small and medium-sized coal mines and small coal mines contracted by individuals, the old Jiefang can still be seen.
The state-owned large mines are generally equipped with the second-generation Jiefang or Dongfeng, and those with better conditions use the third-generation flat-head Jiefang, or heavy trucks from Sinotruk, and some imported heavy trucks.
But there are really very few mining dump trucks. The main reason is that this thing is too expensive, and the average coal mining company simply cannot afford it. Even Belas 7547, a product from the 1980s, is still the most high-end coal mine equipment in the country.
However, today, the leather bag company in Cheng Yu’s eyes uses the most high-end mining dump trucks, which instantly makes Cheng Yu a little at a loss, and gives Cheng Yu a smashing power.
“Isn’t it said that Dongshan Mining is a leather bag company? What kind of leather bag company is this! How can the leather bag company use the Belas mining dump truck?” Cheng Yu looked at the back of the Belas dump truck and stood blankly. In situ.
“Manager Cheng, please here.” The secretary’s voice interrupted Cheng Yu’s thoughts.
The secretary led the way, and said as he walked; “We, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li, originally planned to come to greet you in person. A client came and wanted to discuss a big business, so I neglected you. Please forgive me.”
“Talk about big business?” Cheng Yu has walked out of the shadow of mining dump trucks, he smiled coldly, and said in his heart that axial compressors are a big business of tens of millions, and other businesses can be big. Ever this?
So Cheng Yu said with a proud face: “What other business can be bigger than the business between us?”
The secretary hurriedly said: “Talking to your company is of course a big business. But the customers that Mr. Zhao sees now are also very important. If we talk about it, we can sell that device for at least 500 million! ”
“Five hundred million equipment?” Cheng Yu curled his lips in disdain, and secretly said in his heart that you are a leather bag company that sells five hundred million equipment. It’s really bragging not to draft!
So Cheng Yu said jokingly; “You really aroused my curiosity, I would like to know, what is the value of 500 million!”
“The equipment is in that warehouse. If you are interested, I will show you.” The secretary said, pointing to a warehouse, and then led Cheng Yu to walk over.
A few people walked into the warehouse, and the secretary pointed forward: “It’s this thing, I don’t understand such a thing, it is so valuable!”
Cheng Yu looked intently, his face changed drastically.
He has recognized it, and what is in front of her is the core of a nuclear power plant reactor!
“This is the core! The core of the nuclear reactor! Did I come to the wrong place? Didn’t it mean that this is a leather bag company? What kind of leather bag company is this! How can the leather bag company have a reactor core!”
