Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 683
Chapter 683 Ultimate Busy Work
Dayang Machinery Group.
“Song Dong, I have discussed with several experts in the industry, and the results of the discussions are not optimistic. Experts generally believe that the crawler self-propelled rotary tiller of Fukang Agricultural Machinery is more likely to be recognized by the expert group.”
“Why? Our rice harvester is not as good as the crawler rotary tiller from Fukang? This is a product that fills the gap in China!” Song Chengde asked with a look of disapproval.
“Tillage machinery has advantages over harvesting machinery. Fukang’s crawler rotary cultivator also fills the domestic gap. The key is that the crawler rotary cultivator is a new product independently developed, and our rice harvester is an imitation of Kubota’s rice harvester. .”
The other party paused, and then said: “The rice harvester product has been made in Japan for many years, and you can buy it with money, but the crawler rotary cultivator has not been made in other countries. From this In terms of aspects, the crawler rotary tiller has more advantages!”
In China’s agricultural production, the plowing process has always been more important than the harvesting process. This is very intuitively reflected in the development of agricultural production tools.
In ancient China, the plough as a farming tool was one of the most improved agricultural tools. As for the importance of other agricultural tools, it is far less important than the plough.
The same is true in the era of agricultural machinery. Chinese farmers’ demand for farming machinery is far greater than that for harvesting agricultural machinery. What we often say about “intensive cultivation” also refers to careful and meticulous farming in agriculture, without mentioning anything about harvesting.
In the eyes of the farmer’s uncle, the American-style rough agricultural mechanization, which often loses one or two percent of crops, is absolutely unacceptable. For Chinese farmers, even if the first round of harvesting is over, they have to go to the wheat fields to pick up the ears again.
As for the sophisticated harvesting machines in Germany and Japan, in the eyes of Chinese farmers, they are not as easy to use as human hands.
In agricultural production, excluding uncertain factors such as natural and man-made disasters, cultivation determines the lower limit of agricultural output, and harvesting determines the upper limit of agricultural output.
In the process of harvesting, reducing the loss of fruit as much as possible can naturally increase the yield, but how many kilograms of grain can grow in this field is not determined by the harvest, but depends on the cultivation.
A field grows 500 catties of grain, even if there is no loss at all during the harvesting process, at most 500 catties will be harvested.
And if you are careful when cultivating, let this field grow 600 catties of grain, even if you lose 10% during harvest, you will still have 540 catties of grain.
Therefore, farming machinery is more valued than harvesting machinery. Whether it is agricultural experts or farmers, when voting, they will definitely prefer more types of agricultural machinery.
What’s more, the crawler-type rotary tiller launched by Fukang Agricultural Machinery is a new product that has never appeared in this field, and this small crawler-type agricultural machine is enough to lead a revolution in agricultural machinery.
In contrast, although the rice harvester imitated by Dayang Machinery is very good, there are already similar products on the market. The rice harvester technology of Japanese agricultural machinery companies is very mature. available.
One is an imitation of a mature product, and the other is a new product that can lead the agricultural machinery revolution. It is not difficult to choose one.
This is like in 2007, Samsung has made a feature phone that is not inferior to Nokia, and Apple has launched the first smartphone, if you are an investor, which one would you choose?
So when it’s time for experts to vote, Fukang Agricultural Machinery’s crawler-type rotary tiller definitely has more advantages than Dayang Machinery’s rice harvester.
Song Chengde was also a little helpless about this conclusion. He frowned slightly: “So, let’s really start from the seven experts, as long as seven experts are willing to vote for us, no, the minority obeys the majority, as long as four experts vote for us, then We win!”
“The key is that we don’t even know who is in the expert group now!” said one of the subordinates.
“I’ll inquire about this!” Song Chengde pondered for a while, and then said, “Go to contact a public relations company. This kind of professional public relations must be done by professionals.”
…
Based on Song Chengde’s personal connections in the industry, it was easy to find the seven members of the expert group, and then he invited a professional public relations company to let them formulate a public relations plan.
The PR firm quickly checked the background of the seven experts.
The photos of the seven experts are posted on the photo wall of the conference room.
The project manager of the PR company pointed to the first photo and introduced: “This is Professor Jiang Boyuan from Northeast Agricultural University. He is researching threshers. In recent years, his main research direction is the pre-cut threshing system for crops.
Professor Jiang’s research topic is similar to your company’s rice harvester, so he is the most likely to vote for the rice harvester among the seven experts.
I think your company only needs to invite Professor Jiang to make some improvements to the rice harvester produced by your company, and pay him some labor fees by the way. It is not a problem to win this vote. ”
Song Chengde nodded: “Okay, I’ll do it right away.”
The project manager of the public relations company pointed to the second photo: “Professor Ma Haitao, professor of Hunan Agricultural University, this is an expert in your province. I think your company should be familiar with it, right?”
Song Chengde nodded: “We also sponsored Professor Ma’s scientific research project, but that was five or six years ago, right?”
“How much money was sponsored at that time?” the project manager asked.
Song Chengde thought about it and said, “It seems to be ten thousand yuan!”
“Five or six years ago, 10,000 yuan.” The project manager pondered for a moment and said, “Dong Song, this is not enough!”
“I didn’t expect this one at that time, otherwise we would have sponsored more than ten or two hundred thousand!” Song Chengde said with some annoyance.
The project manager can guess that this Professor Ma Haitao once came to Dayang Machinery for sponsorship. Song Chengde was not interested in Professor Ma’s scientific research project, so he gave 10,000 yuan as a beggar.
A mere 10,000 yuan of interests is not enough for Ma Haitao to vote for Dayang Machinery. Maybe Ma Haitao will deliberately vote for Fukang Agricultural Machinery in order to avoid suspicion.
Only listening to the project manager continued: “Since Dayang Machinery has sponsored Professor Ma’s scientific research, it can be regarded as a good relationship with Professor Ma, and then it is more logical to sponsor him scientific research funds. Only this time, expensive The company can pay more.”
Song Chengde nodded and said, “I was worried before that if I directly sponsored scientific research funds, it would be too blatant.”
The project manager said: “Actually, there are many ways to sponsor scientific research funds. For example, Professor Ma, he is also a doctoral supervisor, and the doctoral students he leads also undertake some of Professor Ma’s scientific research projects.
We can start from this aspect and give some of the funding to those doctoral students to help them complete Professor Ma’s project, which is equivalent to giving Professor Ma a sponsorship in a different direction. ”
“Okay, as long as we can get this vote, we will pay for this part of the money.” Song Chengde said without hesitation.
The project manager of the public relations company pointed to the third photo and said, “Professor Wang Wei, former postdoctoral fellow of the Agricultural Mechanization Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, and deputy dean of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of East China Agricultural University, is an innovative research and development of domestic root crop production equipment. Key members of the team.
Professor Wang Wei’s vote is not easy to win. His scientific research projects are all related to peanuts, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and have nothing to do with rice harvesters.
But I heard that Professor Wang Wei has a daughter who is in the third year of high school and is about to take the university entrance exam. Although this child is good at studying, he will definitely not be able to take the test at Tsinghua University and Peking University. At most, he is the last one.
Intellectuals tend to pay more attention to their children’s education. If he takes the college entrance examination in China, Wang Wei’s daughter will not be able to get into a good university. If he can help his daughter go to a university abroad, Professor Wang Wei should be willing to vote for us. ”
“Going to study in the United States? It shouldn’t be easy, right?” Song Chengde asked.
The project manager of the public relations company immediately replied: “Actually, it is not difficult to study in the United States. Our company has also conducted successful operations before. Our company has some connections with several educational foundations in the United States. As long as you spend some money, you can Helping Chinese students to study in the United States.”
“How much does it cost?” Song Chengde asked subconsciously.
“It also depends on the university. The better the school, the higher the fees. I guess Professor Wang doesn’t like the average school, so I have to find a slightly better university. 10,000!” the project manager replied.
“500,000.” Song Chengde frowned slightly. Although the price was a bit high, it was acceptable.
So Song Chengde nodded: “Okay, then we will spend 500,000 to buy this ticket.”
The project manager pointed to the fourth photo, and then introduced; “Zhao Zhongyue, the president of Jingzhou Agricultural Machinery Cooperative, has contacted the previous university professors. Zhao Zhongyue is a grass-roots agricultural machinery expert. He has worked at the rural grass-roots level for more than 30 years. It has been honored many times.”
“I have seen reports about this man in the newspaper, and I heard that he has carried out technical transformations on many types of agricultural machinery.” Song Chengde continued:
“In the test of agricultural machinery, excellent performance is one thing, but when it comes to the practical stage, there will always be various problems. This Zhao Zhongyue has modified the agricultural machinery in response to these problems. It is called agricultural machinery. ‘Soil expert’. So what does this earth expert lack?”
The project manager replied: “We have conducted investigations. This Zhao Zhongyue has a son who is not up to his expectations. He is very good at gambling. He owes a lot of gambling debts and even borrowed usury. I think we can start from this aspect to help As a condition for his son to exchange gambling debts, let Zhao Zhongyue vote for us.”
Song Chengde thought for a while, and said, “A bad gambler is not worthy of sympathy. With such a son, he can only be considered unlucky.”
“Jiang Boyuan, Ma Haitao, Wang Wei, plus this Zhao Zhongyue, there are already four votes. Four out of the seven votes, your company has won.” The project manager said.
“I don’t think it’s safe yet, in case any of these four people run away! Why don’t you add another ticket, it’s considered insurance!” Song Chengde said.
“No problem.” The project manager pointed to the fifth photo: “Zhang Yougui, once a member of our country’s agricultural technical assistance team for Ethiopia, he is now working in the Agricultural Society, but he is about to retire.
We have investigated, this Zhang Yougui is more famous and rich, and he is currently inquiring about publishing a book. If we can help in this regard, Zhang Yougui should be able to vote for us. ”
“It shouldn’t be difficult to publish a book! Isn’t it just buying a version number! It’s easy to handle.” Song Chengde said.
“It’s not enough to publish a book, you have to underwrite part of it,” the project manager explained.
“That’s no problem, a book is about ten or twenty yuan, and underwriting 10,000 copies is about 200,000! We can afford this money from Ocean Machinery!” Song Chengde said with a big expression.
The one who went abroad to study before had to spend 500,000 yuan. Compared with that, paying 200,000 yuan to buy a ticket is much cheaper.
…
It’s finally time to vote.
In the meeting of the Agricultural Machinery Appraisal Station, all seven experts were present. In addition, Yue Anan and Song Chengde, the two company leaders, were also present.
Director Chen was in the middle of the presidency, and he said: “For the sake of fairness, I also called the heads of the two production companies and asked them to introduce the products in detail. If the experts have any questions, they can also ask questions on the spot. , let the enterprise answer.”
Although five of the experts have been publicized by Dayang Machinery, there is still a lot to be done about the appearance, so after the product introduction, the experts began to ask questions.
The so-called “acting and doing a complete set” is not only about questions, but also exchanges and debates between experts, each expounding his own point of view, and occasionally refuting the other’s point of view.
Song Chengde looked at this scene triumphantly, but he felt that the money was really worth it. Before voting, these experts had already performed it.
Yue An An looked coldly at the experts acting there. From the exchanges and debates between the experts, Yue An An could clearly feel that Jiang Boyuan, Ma Haitao, Wang Wei, Zhao Zhongyue and Zhang Yougui were obviously biased. at Ocean Machinery.
After another half an hour, the experts finally finished the part of expressing their opinions, and the stationmaster Chen also said: “Every expert has finished the discussion, and I believe there is a conclusion, so let’s start voting now!”
Song Chengde breathed a sigh of relief, he finally waited for this part.
“Please wait!” Yue An An suddenly stood up, bowed slightly at the crowd, and said, “Before voting, I have a document here, please take a look at the experts.”
Yue An An said, took out a document from the briefcase, passed it to everyone, and said at the same time: “This is the recommendation letter issued by the National Hybrid Rice Research Center for our crawler rice harvester. It’s a copy.”
“A letter of recommendation from the Hybrid Rice Research Center? This Yue Baoan is really trying to play a fool!” Song Chengde frowned, and continued in his heart: “But this letter of recommendation can’t change the overall situation!”
Yue An An went on to say: “The Hybrid Rice Research Center is the first batch of units to use crawler rice harvesters. During our research and development process, the Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center also gave us a lot of valuable advice.
What is even more difficult is that the crawler-type rice harvester we produced was finally approved by Mr. Yuan. To be recognized by Mr. Yuan is the highest affirmation and encouragement for our work! ”
“Old Yuan’s approval?” Song Chengde raised his eyebrows: “Mr. Yue, this bull is not something you can just blow!”
Song Chengde’s subtext is, don’t take the name of Yuan Lao and sway here!
Yue An An turned to the last part of the recommendation letter, pointed to it and said, “How dare I brag about this kind of thing, it is signed by Mr. Yuan.”
Everyone immediately turned to the last page, and sure enough, they saw Mr. Yuan’s signature!
“It’s Mr Yuan’s signature!”
“Since Yuan Lao personally recommended it, what kind of vote should we cast!”
“For the agricultural machinery products approved by Mr. Yuan, I definitely agree with both hands!”
Even the five public relations experts changed their attitudes in an instant after seeing Old Yuan’s signature.
Although all those present are agricultural machinery experts, no matter their qualifications, professionalism, or even their contribution to the country, in front of Yuan Lao, they are only the light of fireflies, how can they compete with Haoyue for glory!
Yuan Laodu approved agricultural machinery products, how could he object? Who dares to object!
Song Chengde next to also turned to the last page, his eyes widened, staring at Old Yuan’s signature.
He knew that even if he had public relations with seven experts, it would not be as good as this one signed by Mr. Yuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the approval of Yuan Lao, even hoes and shovels can be included in the promotion list of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Thinking about how hard you tried to find a public relations company, conduct research and analysis, and then carry out targeted public relations, it can be said to be a lot of effort.
However, Yue An’an only made one move and directly completed the comeback.
“It’s the ultimate waste of time again!”
