Chapter 358: Harm others and end up harming yourself

In the conference room of the traffic engineering company, Zhuang Baoguo convened relevant personnel to discuss which loader to purchase.

Zhuang Baoguo looked at the report in his hand and said, Everyone, the test results of the loaders provided by the seven bidding units are in your hands. From the test results, there are two loaders that are among the best.

One is the AX40C loader of Qinghe Heavy Machinery Factory, and the other is the QZ40 loader of Qinghe Loader Factory. It seems that our company's purchase this time also needs to choose one of these two loaders.

Today's meeting is to determine which loader to choose. Let's all express our opinions and share your opinions!

Zhuang Baoguo said, looked at the secretary again, and continued: This procurement is an open tender, in order to ensure transparency and notarization, you should record the opinions and suggestions of each comrade in detail, so that it can be used as an open tender in the future. basis.

After Zhuang Baoguo finished speaking, he looked at everyone. Everyone just looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

What? Don't you want to say a few words first? Zhuang Baoguo smiled helplessly, and then said, Since that's the case, then I'll start by throwing some bricks at you!

Just looking at the test results, the loaders of the two manufacturers are similar, but our company has cooperated with Qinghe Heavy Machinery Factory before, bought their loaders, and got to know each other better.

In terms of after-sales service, it is more convenient for old partners. Based on this, I think our company should purchase the AX40C loader from Qinghe Heavy Machinery Factory this time.

The leader has said so, and other people naturally cannot sing the opposite, so next, everyone agrees to purchase the AX40C loader.

Seeing this result, Zhuang Baoguo showed a satisfied smile on his face.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and then someone rushed into the conference room. Zhuang Baoguo took a closer look, and it was the director of the company's office.

What's the matter, you're so flustered! Zhuang Baoguo asked.

Mr. Zhuang, the leader of the Transportation Department is here!

...

Ding Youliang was staying in the guest house, watching the table tennis game playing on the TV, waiting for the result of the tender with peace of mind.

Next to Ding Youliang, assistant Xiao Wang seemed a little anxious. From time to time, he would run to the phone to see if the call was connected.

Xiao Wang is the nephew of Ding Youliang's daughter-in-law.

As Ding Youliang's personal assistant, he knows a lot of confidential information, so he naturally has to choose someone he can trust. Relatives are very suitable candidates.

Stop walking around, come and watch! The replay of the Barcelona Olympics, the men's doubles table tennis final, Wang Tao and Lu Lin played against the Croatians. Ding Youliang said.

Second uncle, the results of the bidding will come out soon, aren't you in a hurry? Xiao Wang asked.

What's the use of being in a hurry? Ding Youliang said indifferently, and continued; Furthermore, this time the tender, our factory must be sure of it!

Second uncle, is it because you have already negotiated the terms with President Zhuang of the traffic engineering company? Xiao Wang asked cautiously.

You're smart! Ding Youliang laughed, made the OK gesture with his hand, and then said, This time, let's give these. Boss Zhuang still abides by the rules and doesn't ask for much.

Xiao Wang nodded slightly, and Ding Youliang continued: In our factory, you are the second person to know about this matter. You must have a door on your mouth, don't miss it!

Second uncle, don't worry, my mouth is the strongest. Even if my second aunt asks me, I will keep my mouth shut. Xiao Wang said.

Ding Youliang nodded with satisfaction, this nephew is still very discerning and a talent worthy of training.

Ding Youliang shook the OK gesture again, and then said, Do you think we can get this order just because of this?

Let me tell you, this is just the icing on the cake. We can get the order mainly because of the products of our factory, which are of good quality, advanced technology and exquisite workmanship!

Even if it is a real tender, all manufacturers put their products on the table to evaluate together, and the loader of our factory is also the best! Traffic engineering companies still have to choose our AX40C loader!

Second uncle, then why are you doing this? Xiao Wang followed Ding Youliang and made an OK gesture.

I'm afraid that someone else will get this, but we didn't. Will this order fall into the hands of other manufacturers? Anyway, these 50 loaders, our profit is also very considerable, just like to spend money to buy insurance.

Ding Youliang paused, then said, This is how business is done. Sometimes, the money that should be spent has to be spent, even if the money is not on the table, or even goes against conscience, but in order to save money The business has to be done.

After all, there are still more than 1,000 workers in our factory who need to eat. If you include the tertiary production, there must be more than 2,000 mouths waiting to feed. When I wake up every day, the first thing I have to think about is how to earn the wages of more than 2,000 people! So when necessary, you can only do something that is not very glorious!

Second uncle, I understand what you said. You are all for the development of our heavy machinery factory! Xiao Wang said.

Just then, the phone on the table finally rang.

Xiao Wang rushed over immediately and picked up the handset: Hello, hello, who are you looking for?

I'm Zhuang Baoguo of the traffic engineering company, is Director Ding there? Zhuang Baoguo's voice was on the phone.

Mr. Zhuang, wait a moment! Xiao Wang quickly handed over the phone to Ding Youliang.

Ding Youliang walked over excitedly, picked up the receiver, and said, Hey, Mr. Zhuang, I'm Ding Youliang. Has the bidding process come to an end? I've been waiting for your good news!

Director Ding, the result of the bidding has come out, but it is not you who won the bid! Zhuang Baoguo said.

Not us? Ding Youliang's mind went blank for a moment.

A few seconds later, Ding Youliang regained his mind. His first reaction was that other manufacturers gave Zhuang Baoguo more benefits.

But Ding Youliang immediately rejected this idea. What others can give, he can give to Ding Youliang as well. If Zhuang Baoguo wants more benefits, he can ask Ding Youliang directly.

The problem shouldn't be on Zhuang Baoguo's side. Could it be that other manufacturers' products are better than our AX40C loader? That's why the traffic engineering company didn't choose our loader.

Thinking of this, Ding Youliang asked, Mr. Zhuang, has something changed, such as killing Cheng Yaojin halfway through?

You're right. When our company was testing, we found that there is a loader whose performance is comparable to your AX40C. Zhuang Baoguo said.

Ding Youliang frowned suddenly. Thanks to the scientific research projects obtained from the Seventh Five-Year Science and Technology Research, the loader technology of the heavy machinery factory is leading in the country, and it is even more outstanding in the province.

Now that a company with the same technology as his own has suddenly appeared, which caught Ding Youliang by surprise.

Mr. Zhuang, which manufacturer is it that can match our technology? Ding Youliang asked.

However, Zhuang Baoguo said in a surprised tone: Director Ding, you really don't know, or are you pretending to be confused, that company belongs to you Qinghe too!

We're from Qinghe City? Ding Youliang was stunned again.

You Qinghe City is such a big place, and there are still a few that can produce loaders!

Zhuang Baoguo continued: It's your Qinghe Loader Factory. Their QZ40 loader is similar in performance to your AX40C loader. The difference is that they use Weichai's engine, and you use Shangchai's engine.

The loader factory has launched a new product, and the action is so fast!

Ding Youliang was startled, and then said instinctively, Shangchai's engine should be better than Weichai's, and it should also be our loader, better than theirs?

Zhuang Baoguo replied: In terms of power, you are stronger, but in terms of hydraulics, they are stronger. In a comprehensive assessment, both of you are half a catty.

Will the hydraulic technology of the loader factory be better than ours? It's unlikely! Our technology can come from Jingong, and it is also first-class domestically, unless they can import it from abroad... Ding Youliang's words suddenly stopped.

At this time, Ding Youliang had already remembered that the loader factory had indeed imported technology and equipment from Russia, and had also hired several old Maozi engineers.

Oh, I was careless! I didn't pay attention to the loader factory for two months. I didn't expect that after a little negligence, the loader factory developed a new product and fought a turnaround! Ding Youliang secretly cried in his heart.

Then Ding Youliang asked again: Mr. Zhuang, even if our two loaders are comparable, we should choose our product to win the bid, right? After all, this is not the first time we have cooperated!

Ding Youliang's sentence is a pun. It is not the first cooperation. It refers not only to the two companies, but also to Ding Youliang and Zhuang Baoguo.

The subtext of these words is that you have already promised to receive benefits and do things, why should you go back on it?

Of course, Zhuang Baoguo understood what Ding Youliang meant, and he replied, Director Ding, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't help you. It's already been decided, and your factory's AX40C will win the bid.

But the leaders in the hall suddenly came down and told us that in the case of similar performance and price, the QZ40 loader of Qinghe City Loader Factory is the first choice! I can only do what the leaders above say.

Li Weidong actually got through the relationship with the Transportation Department? Does he have such a strong network? Ding Youliang was surprised again.

On the other end of the phone, Zhuang Baoguo went on to introduce: Director Ding, I specifically asked you about it. The leader in the hall is actually a middleman. The real decision is made by the State-owned Assets Management Office. Our company is also a state-owned enterprise and is under the jurisdiction of the State-owned Assets Office. Yes, their instructions, we really have to obey.

Why is it related to the State-owned Assets Management Office? Ding Youliang was a little confused.

Zhuang Baoguo went on to explain: According to the information I have heard, your loader factory in Qinghe City is a typical case of the reform of state-owned enterprises, which seems to involve the sale of state-owned enterprises to private individuals.

Because the central government has a guiding spirit, saying that state-owned enterprises can be sold to private individuals, the State-owned Assets Management Office attaches great importance to this enterprise, giving great attention and support, and also hopes to explore new directions for the reform of state-owned enterprises.

After Zhuang Baoguo's reminder, Ding Youliang suddenly remembered that the matter of the loader factory's sale to private individuals was still reported to the State-owned Assets Management Office by himself!

If I don't report it, maybe the State-owned Assets Management Office will not know about the loader factory, so there will be no so-called attention and support, and today's order for 50 loaders will not fall into the into the hands of the loader factory.

Ding Youliang realized this instantly.

I'm hurting others and I'm hurting myself!
