Material Empire

"Hehe, Lao Ning, you have created a problem for me."

Zhao Tianran smiled resentfully, and called Ning Zhongying a more intimate "Old Ning", which was to use the emotional card to renege on his debt.

"Look at you." Ning Zhongying scolded in a contemptuous tone, "I'm not asking you to make mistakes, you just said that the deputy director of your Haidong Provincial Economic Committee is your drinking buddy, talk to him, What's the point of ordering one or two million dollars for us? Who doesn't know that you Haidong are the vanguard of national reforms and are very rich."

"One or two million yuan!" Zhao Ziran shouted, "Old Ning, I have given you the hundred-odd catties. You can sell it in the market and see if you can sell it for one or two million yuan."

Ning Zhongying said: "Three or five hundred thousand is fine, we don't think it's too little."

"Impossible!" Zhao naturally clenched his teeth and remained unmoved.

"Then tell me, how much?" Ning Zhongying kicked the ball directly to Zhao Ziran.

Zhao Ziran turned his head to look at Ma Changfeng, and saw that Ma Changfeng had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. He obviously felt that he was not good at academics, and he had to beg a young man, so that the leader sat on wax, so he was ashamed to see others. Zhao Ziran looked at Qin Hai again, and Qin Hai gave him a simple and honest smile, but there was a hint of gloating in that smile.

Zhao Ziran sighed, and said: "Oh, you guys are really taking advantage of the fire, how about this, I don't want my old face anymore, and the Shanghai Economic and Economic Commission begged Director Cao to go. However, we can make an agreement, up to 100,000, the same price."

"100,000 is 100,000. I thank Director Zhao first." Ning Zhongying smiled and agreed to Zhao Ziran's counter-offer.

The scale of Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory is not large, and the business of 100,000 yuan is enough for Qingfeng Factory to survive for a while. When Ning Zhongying came out this trip, he sold so much face to get a business worth several thousand yuan. Now, with Qin Hai's three-inch tongue, Zhao naturally agreed to coordinate an order of 100,000 yuan for him. Ning Zhongying already felt very satisfied.

"What kind of bastard are you, Song Gongming, who is anxious and righteous, I think you are Zhou Bapi who crows in the middle of the night!" Zhao Ziran cursed Ning Zhongying with a smile. After cursing, he raised his glass again and said, "I promise you!" With such a large amount of business, why don't you come and have a drink with me?"

"It's easy to say, just drink ten more cups." Ning Zhongying happily agreed.

Zhao Ziran said it so pitifully, but actually coordinating a 100,000 yuan agricultural machinery purchase order is not too difficult for him. The localization of Pusang is more or less a big task with a bit of political color. Jiangzhou Machinery Factory asks enterprises in neighboring provinces to help solve technical problems. Haidong Province places an order in return. Why not? As long as the bidding can be done, Zhao Ziran's right to speak in the province will immediately rise to a higher level, and such a trivial matter will not be a problem.

As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are rare for a bosom friend, and everyone talked speculatively, so naturally they drank too much, and finally one by one came out of the restaurant crookedly, talking and laughing loudly, and walked towards the neighboring guest house.

Early the next morning, everyone woke up from the wine, and the little secretary brought by Zhao Ziran obediently bought breakfast for everyone, and let everyone have dinner in the guest house. At the bidding site of the Pusang Localization Office of the Pujiang Automobile Industry Bureau.

Yang Xinyu, deputy director of the Domestic Affairs Office, has been plagued by severe insomnia for a week. This problem has fallen since the launch of the Pusang project two years ago.

During that period of time, Yang Xinyu accompanied the German engineers to inspect the production site during the day, and held a meeting with them at night to discuss cooperation details. After the Germans went back to sleep, Yang Xinyu had to organize Chinese personnel to analyze the various issues raised by the Germans, one by one to analyze which ones were useful to him and which ones needed to be rejected. After the members of the Chinese team couldn't stand it and went back to rest, Yang Xinyu had to continue to think for an hour or two by himself, letting all the details of the day go through in his mind several times before he felt relieved.

After working day and night like this for about half a year, the first phase of the Pusang project finally started, and Yang Xinyu was slightly relieved, but this neurasthenia problem has since formed an indissoluble bond with him. When the usual work pressure is not too great, Yang Xinyu can barely sleep soundly. Whenever he was stressed at work, he couldn't sleep all night long, and he seemed to lose weight before his eyes.

This time, Yang Xinyu once again fell into intense work around the national bidding issue of Pusang auto parts. During the one-week bidding meeting, he had to engage in verbal confrontation with hundreds of companies almost every day. All kinds of voices with different accents made him have a splitting headache. It was often a few hours after the day's bidding work ended, the The buzzing still couldn't stop.

If it's just a negotiation, Yang Xinyu can still handle it. What made him feel physically and mentally exhausted was that after a whole week, none of the hundreds of companies that came to participate in the bidding was willing to accept the bidding task. To be more polite, I asked for a product bid and threatened to go back to discuss it. Those with a bad attitude will immediately put down the pick and resolutely quit.

2.7%, this is a number hanging on the wall of Yang Xinyu's office, representing the current proportion of localized parts of Pusang Automobile. Yang Xinyu's goal is to increase this figure to 70% within three years, and after a week of bidding, this figure will not move at all, as if it has been welded to the wall.

"Xiaolu, how many companies are expected to come to bid today?" Yang Xinyu lazily asked his assistant Lu Xiaolin while rubbing his forehead.

"Director Yang, so far, we haven't received any calls from companies that come to bid." Lu Xiaolin replied.

"Why, were you scared back by us?" Yang Xinyu asked in a self-deprecating tone.

"Director Yang...Actually, I think, shouldn't we lower our requirements a little?" Lu Xiaolin timidly suggested.

Yang Xinyu said: "Why?"

"Why?" Lu Xiaolin was a little stunned. Isn't this an obvious problem? The technical level of Chinese companies is not up to the mark, and the needs of Chinese users are not so high. good. The target of 70% localization has already been submitted to the central government. If it cannot be completed by then, Yang Xinyu will be criticized. If not done well, his bright future will be interrupted.

"Director Yang, if things go on like this, our localization work may not be carried out at all." Lu Xiaolin reminded tactfully.

Yang Xinyu took his hand off his forehead, took a deep breath, and then said: "We have widened such a big gap with foreign countries, if we still have the new three years, the old three years, sewing and mending Another three years of making do with the mentality, so when will we catch up to the level of developed countries?

We, a big country with one billion people, cannot live without our own auto industry. If we cannot strictly demand from the very beginning, then even if our auto industry develops, it will be uncompetitive. "

"But..." Lu Xiaolin faltered, trying to find a reason to persuade her leader, but couldn't think of a suitable one for a while.

Yang Xinyu continued: "As for the issue of quality standards, I discussed with the German technicians of Wolfsburg, and the answer they gave me was that the philosophy of Wolfsburg Group is to provide consumers with safe, reliable and fully compliant cars. , this is clearly stipulated in the cooperation agreement between the two parties, and they must also do this, otherwise, they will lose the reputation of Wolfsburg."

"The Germans... why are they so serious?" Lu Xiaolin muttered.

Yang Xinyu said: "It's right to be true. Only by being true can we produce high-quality goods. It is just a private enterprise that makes money for capitalists, and it can still keep its promise. We are a state-owned enterprise and are owned by the whole people. Do we have to lower our standards? , but entrap consumers?"

"It's not called entrapment..." Lu Xiaolin knew that she couldn't speak against Yang Xinyu. She had seen the scene where Yang Xinyu verbally fought against the Confucians at the bidding meeting, and his demeanor was even better than Zhuge Liang at the Heroes Meeting.

"However, Director Yang, domestic companies are afraid of difficulties and are unwilling to participate in the bidding. Some companies even call us traitorous. If this continues, how will we complete our mission?" Lu Xiaolin asked worriedly.

Yang Xinyu said: "Don't worry, after the bidding meeting is over, I will go to a few military enterprises for a run, beg for alms, and ask them to lend a hand. In addition, the bidding meeting has not finished yet, I don't believe it There are so many local enterprises in the country, but none of them has ambition."

Before he finished speaking, the reception staff outside the door came in and reported to him: "Director Yang, two companies have come and expressed their intention to participate in the bidding."

"Oh, what company is it?" Yang Xinyu asked.

"One came here yesterday. It is Jiangzhou Machinery Factory in Haidong Province. There is another one, I heard that it is a small company in Anhe Province, called Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory." I remember my name clearly.

"Agricultural machinery factory..." Yang Xinyu pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "Well, I overlooked it. In fact, the agricultural machinery system should also have some companies that can provide supporting equipment for automobiles. Xiaolu, please remember, we will turn to the agricultural machinery system later. Send another notification."

"Yes!" Lu Xiaolin replied.

"Okay, now let's go meet the people from those two companies and invite them to the hall for a meeting." Yang Xinyu rubbed his temples vigorously to wake himself up, and then walked towards the bidding hall with steady steps.
