Chapter 562 What kind of leather bag company

In the meeting room of Guodian Corporation, Zhu Hongxiang reported the bidding situation to other members of the leadership team.

I thought it would be good for Taifeng and Taisheng Mine to sell 1.8 billion yuan, but I didn't expect to sell more than 200 million yuan!

And there are many good additional conditions! For example, the ammonia and urea projects of Jizhong Coal Industry Group are very good. Our company also has 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, and the foreign exchange quota is simply not enough. Just the high-grade cables imported from Germany will cost a lot of foreign exchange. Quota. If there is help from coal import and export companies, a lot of equipment can be imported.”

In my opinion, Yankuang's conditions are better. The direct bid is 2.4 billion, which is 2.3 billion more than other companies. I think it is the most affordable to get money. With the money, you can buy whatever you want, which is more flexible. , and more room for manipulation.”

Everyone is discussing with each other, but in the end, most people still prefer to take the money directly.

In the end, it was the company's top leader, Secretary Wang, who coughed dryly and said, In a comprehensive comparison, Yankuang directly offered a bid price of 2.4 billion, which is indeed the highest among all bidding companies. After all, the conditions offered by other companies, It's not worth two or three billion.

But there is another company's condition that we also need to study and discuss carefully, that is Dongshan Mining. Dongshan Mining offered 2 billion yuan and was also willing to provide us with an axial compressor.

Dongshan Mining? Where is the company? I've never heard of it! Could it be a leather bag company?

What is an axial compressor? Is it a newly developed power equipment abroad?

Is this axial compressor very important? 2 billion plus this thing can be worth 2.4 billion in Yankuang?

Immediately, several people made questioning voices.

Zhu Hongxiang, who was on the side, quickly explained: The axial compressor is the core component of building a wind tunnel. With this equipment, we can build our own wind tunnel.

Secretary Wang also added; Everyone should know that there are many projects in our company's scientific research that require wind tunnel experiments, especially wind power research and development projects. Without wind tunnel experiments, it would be impossible to do anything.

However, the wind tunnel time allocated to us by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is simply not enough, which has seriously affected our scientific research progress.

The research and development of wind power generation is an important task assigned to us by the state, and it is a key project of our scientific and technological research. The company has already attached this project as the first scientific research task.

Completing a new generation of wind power scientific research projects as soon as possible. In the small, wind power stations can be built, which will bring economic profits to our company; in the large, it is to complete the country's energy strategic layout and ensure domestic energy security. This is important. I don't need to talk any more.

I will not hide it from you. Chief Engineer Xia heard that there is this equipment, and he directly deceived me. Yesterday, he almost lived in my office and insisted that I get this axial compressor. You also know the temper of Chief Engineer Xia. Before, he dared to go to the Electric Power Department to make a table with the leaders.

Moreover, the construction of the wind tunnel is indeed of great help to our company's scientific and technological research and development process. Wind power research and development is not an overnight thing. After completing this pending research and development, we still need to do the next generation of research and development, and we still need to use the wind tunnel.

So after thinking about it again and again, I promised Chief Engineer Xia to get this axial compressor and build our own wind tunnel laboratory.

Someone immediately said, But this Dongshan Mining only offered 200 million yuan, a full 400 million yuan less than that of Yankuang, which is equivalent to our spending 400 million yuan to buy this axial compressor!

But is this axial compressor worth 400 million? If this thing is not worth much at all, isn't our company at a loss?

Mr. Zhu,

Can you explain it to everyone? Secretary Wang looked at Zhu Hongtao.

Zhu Hongxiang nodded and said immediately; First of all, I would like to explain that this axial compressor has already been inspected by Chief Engineer Xia. There is no problem with the machine. It is produced in the former Soviet Union and is durable. .

Let’s talk about the price again. I asked experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find out. In 1995, the California Institute of Technology in the United States, which is the university where Qian Lao served as a professor, built a large-scale wind tunnel, which almost cost $50 million.

50 million US dollars, that's more than 400 million yuan! Someone said.

They spent 50 million US dollars to build the entire wind tunnel. Ours is just one piece of equipment, so it's definitely not expensive. And American things must be expensive, shouldn't they be discounted in China! Another person said.

The American equipment is more advanced than the Soviet Union, right? As far as I know, their Kendo experiments are all controlled by a computer, just press a few buttons, and the experimental results will come out. The Soviet equipment can't do this, so the Soviet equipment should be Cheaper than American equipment. Someone else said.

In this way, even adding the factor of inflation, this axial compressor produced in the former Soviet Union is not worth 400 million at all!

Everyone quickly came to this conclusion.

Then let's let Yankuang win the bid. After all, it's 2.4 billion!

But what about the scientific research side? If there is no wind tunnel, the research and development of wind power projects will be affected.

It is not worth spending 400 million to replace 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, there is probably no need to make a choice, just choose 2.4 billion directly.

However, 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 guarantee of people's livelihood needs. For this, they can sacrifice profits or even lose money.

Just look at the future of the National Grid and you will know that even in the most remote mountainous areas, it will be powered on. In terms of construction cost, 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, the remote areas will probably fend for themselves. If you want to use electricity, you need to buy a generator yourself.

The same is true. The last village in China to be electrified was Changjiang Village, Qumalai County, Zhizhou, YSCZ. The project to electrify the village finally arrived there in 2015, allowing the villagers there to use electricity.

At the same time, many Indian reservations in the United States remain unpowered.

In 2016, Xinhua reported that more than 10,000 residents of an Indian reservation in Utah were expected to receive electricity in 2017.

The reason why they can use electricity is not because the state has built a power supply facility for them, but because a newly developed shale oil field nearby needs electricity. The distance between the line passing through this Indian reservation is relatively short. The inhabitants of the land were able to use electricity along the way.

...

For the national power company, ensuring people's livelihood is the first priority. Completing the research and development of a new generation of wind power equipment and achieving 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 project, why don't we buy an axial compressor ourselves, why do we have to let the bidding company give it away?

Anyway, Americans build a wind tunnel laboratory, which is 50 million US dollars, about 400 million yuan, and an axial compressor can support the sky at 100 million, right?

Let's accept Yankuang's 2.4 billion offer, and then take out 100 million to buy an axial compressor. Can't we make an extra 300 million! This skill ensures that the company's interests are maximized, and it can also give Chief Engineer Xia an explanation.

Secretary Wang immediately replied: I have also considered the plan you mentioned. The problem is that we cannot buy high-power axial compressors at all.

Is it necessary to use a large amount of foreign exchange quota? The man continued to ask.

No, it's because of technical control issues. Secretary Wang continued: Wind tunnel laboratories were first used for military purposes. For example, the research and development of aircraft and missiles requires wind tunnel laboratories. Therefore, even if we Willing to pay, foreigners will not sell our axial compressors.

It’s not that our company can’t come up with 400 million. If we could buy it directly with money, we would have built the wind tunnel long ago, and it would have taken us to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to queue up for experiments.

Where did Dongshan Mining get the axial compressor? the man asked again.

That's unknown. This time it was Zhu Hongxiang who answered, and he went on to say: But what is certain is that this type of mechanical equipment, an axial compressor, is definitely not a mass-produced product.

Even if you can buy it for money, it will take a long time for you to order from the manufacturer before delivery. So if we miss this axial compressor, we don't know how long it will take to 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 cannot be bought with money, and there is no such store in this village. Difficult to choose.

After a while, someone asked again, What is the origin of this Dongshan Mining? Why haven't I heard of it before? Is it a subsidiary of a large 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 enterprise with a registered capital of 100 million yuan. The nature of the enterprise is a joint stock limited company, and it is a private enterprise.

Private enterprise? That is, the kind of wealthy individual boss who thinks it will be more profitable to mine coal, and then registers a leather bag company, and wants to buy a few mines to be a coal boss?

But the one who can get 2 billion is also a very rich individual boss!

No matter how rich you are, it's still not a leather bag company!

Everyone, you said my words, and your tone is obviously full of prejudice against Dongshan Mining. In their eyes, Dongshan Mining is probably the kind of self-employed people who contract coal mines, but it is just an upgraded version.

If it's just a leather bag company, then it's easy. Let's talk to Dongshan Mining directly and ask them to sell us this axial compressor! How can a leather bag company not give us Guodian face? If it's a big deal, just give them thousands and millions more as compensation.

It makes sense, Yankuang's 2.4 billion yuan, we still have to ask for it, and then take out tens of millions from it, play this leather bag company, a leather bag company, can earn tens of millions, and it should be We are grateful to Dade!

This method is supported by most people.

Since everyone's opinions are relatively unified, then send someone to Dongshan Mining to discuss the purchase of an axial-flow compression molding machine. Secretary Wang said, looking at Zhu Zhuhongxiang: Mr. Zhu, who do you think is more appropriate to send? Woolen cloth?

Zhu Hongxiang thought about it and said, Let Cheng Yu from the Legal Department do the negotiation. He was originally an electrical engineer, and he taught himself the law and passed the judicial examination. This kind of negotiation, it is relatively easy to leave it to him. Safe.

Okay. Secretary Wang nodded, and then ordered: Let Cheng Yu come to my office when I go back, and I will ask him a few words first.

...

Weidong, Guodian contacted me and said they wanted to talk to us about buying an axial compressor. We gave it away directly, 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 has taken a fancy to our axial compressor, but thinks that the 2 billion price we gave is too little.

I guess there must be a large coal company that offered a high price that Guodian could not decide, but they were reluctant to give up this axial compressor, so they simply planned to buy it directly.

So then, won't the bidding for Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine be a problem? Zhao Jinshan frowned.

I can't say that, maybe there is still a chance. Li Weidong said.

How should I reply to the people from Guodian? Zhao Jinshan then asked.

Since they want to talk, let's just plan and set up a bureau for them! Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then asked, You haven't given the core of that nuclear reactor to the Nuclear Research Institute, have you?

No, I'm busy bidding for coal mines as soon as I come back, and I haven't had time to deal with the reactor core. Zhao Jinshan said.

Li Weidong nodded: That's right, the negotiation is just right, and the dump trucks of Belaz have also been replaced with new tires and painted with a layer of paint, and they are as good as new, easy to hold. Come bluff!

...

Negotiators from Guodian are on their way to the negotiation site.

Sitting in the car, Cheng Yu looked at the scenery that he kept skipping outside the window and realized that he had reached the suburban area.

The assistant next to him complained, A leather bag company is a leather bag company, and it doesn't even have a decent office space. When we came to negotiate, we actually went to a warehouse! The warehouse is still in the suburbs, and we have to run so far.

It should be to save money! After all, the rent in the suburbs is cheap! The driver continued while driving;

But it's not too expensive to rent a conference room in a hotel in the city. It doesn't cost a lot of money, and I don't want to spend the money for renting a conference room. This is really a leather bag company!

Cheng Yu said with a smile: The leather bag company also has the benefits of a leather bag company! The leather bag company is small and thin, so it's easy to be satisfied, and the negotiation will be smoother. Maybe we can make a random price, and they will hurry up. 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 at all, just use a knife to kill chickens, we can do it. The assistant said flatteringly.

Cheng Yu readily accepted the assistant's flattery, and said at the same time, The company sent me here, obviously because it attaches more importance to this axial compressor, so we can only succeed in this trip, not failure, we must use the lowest For the price, get this axial compressor.

Several people are talking, the car has come to the negotiation site, it is a large old factory area, there is a large warehouse, and there is a large yard.

Someone was waiting at the door, and when they saw Cheng Yu's car approaching, they immediately greeted him.

Is that Manager Cheng? My surname is Liu, and I'm Mr. Zhao's secretary. You can just call me Xiao Liu. The other party introduced himself.

Cheng Yu felt a little unhappy in his heart. He was a negotiator sent by the Guodian Company, and he was a big money maker who had to spend tens of millions to buy equipment. A leather bag company in the Dongshan Mining District had no choice but to treat himself as a bodhisattva!

Even if the general manager of Dongshan Mining didn't come to greet him in person, he would have to send someone more important to him, right? Why only a young secretary was sent here?

Probably because this is just a leather bag company, and there are not many people at all, so we can only send a secretary to greet him! Cheng Yu comforted himself in his heart.

The secretary took Cheng Yu into the big yard, only to see dust in the yard, and the roar of the machine from not far away.

Cheng Yu turned his head to look subconsciously, and saw several brand-new mining dump trucks driving towards him.

Manager Cheng, let's get out of the way first, 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, and 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 small.

There is a thing called gigantic phobia, which is the fear of seeing very huge things. This is actually an instinct of living things. Most living things will be subconsciously afraid when they see things that are much larger than themselves.

Although the mining dump truck does not meet the Juwo standard, if such a big thing passes in front of it, 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 that passed in front of him.

This is a mine dump truck, or Belas! This thing is a treasure in the mine! Cheng Yu secretly thought.

The secretary next to him explained; We Dongshan Mining are in the coal mining business, and coal mining must be transported by vehicles, so our company specially imported dozens of Belas mining dump trucks from Belarus. These are the first The batch arrived, and it was not long after it was delivered, so I just tried the car.

You mean, you're going to use Belaz's mining dump trucks to pull coal? There are dozens more? Cheng Yu asked in surprise.

Look at what you said, we even bought the car, of course we will use it! It can't be left to rust. The secretary replied with a smile.

Cheng Yu frowned suddenly, and thought to himself: What's the situation? This year, when I opened a leather bag company to mine coal, I would have to be equipped with Belaz's mining dump trucks? Our company's own large coal mines don't even need to be used. Pick up this thing?

In the late 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 could still be seen.

The state-owned large mines are generally replaced with second-generation Jiefang, or Dongfeng, and those with better conditions use the third-generation flat-head Jiefang, or heavy trucks from Sinotruk, and some are equipped with imported heavy trucks.

However, very few people use mine dump trucks. The main reason is that this thing is too expensive, and ordinary coal mining enterprises simply cannot afford it. Even Belaz 7547, a product from the 1980s, is still the most high-end coal mining equipment in China.

However, today, the leather bag company in Cheng Yu's eyes uses the most high-end mining dump truck, which instantly makes Cheng Yu a little overwhelmed, and even gives Cheng Yu a disgust.

Didn't you say that Dongshan Mining is a leather bag company? What kind of leather bag company is this? How can the leather bag company use Belaz's mining dump truck? Cheng Yu looked at the back of the Belaz dump truck and stood blankly. in situ.

Manager Cheng, this way please. 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 meet you in person, but a client happened to be here to discuss a big business, so I neglected you, please forgive me.

Talk about big business? Cheng Yu has come out of the shadow of the mining dump truck, he sneered, secretly thinking in his heart, axial compressor is a big business of tens of millions, other business can be big over this?

So Cheng Yu said proudly: What business can be bigger than the business between us?

The secretary quickly said: Of course we are talking about a big business with your company. However, the customers we are meeting with Mr. Zhao are also very important. If we can negotiate and sell that equipment, it will be at least 500 million yuan!

Five hundred million equipment? Cheng Yu curled his lips in disdain, secretly thinking that you are a leather bag company, and you have to sell five hundred million equipment. It's really bragging and not drafting!

So Cheng Yu said with a mocking expression; 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, pointed to a warehouse, and walked over with Cheng Yu.

Several people walked into the warehouse, and the secretary pointed forward: It's this thing, I don't understand that such a thing is so valuable!

Cheng Yu took a closer look, and his face changed instantly.

He had already recognized that in front of her was 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 I say this is a leather bag company? What kind of leather bag company is this! How can a leather bag company have a reactor core!
