Chapter 565 Tragedy caused by axial flow compressor

Dongshan Mining, such a strange name!

Zhou Xiangyang looked around and found a trace of doubt and confusion in everyone's eyes. Obviously, no one had heard of the name Dongshan Mining.

"Dongshan Mining? Which company is it? I've never heard of it!"

"I haven't heard of it either. Lao Zhou, what about you, do you know about Dongshan Mining?"

Zhou Xiangyang shook his head: "I don't know, this is the first time I've heard of this company."

In fact, Zhou Xiangyang had heard of Dongshan Mining before. When Huang Aihua introduced Li Weidong at the last bidding briefing, he mentioned the name Dongshan Mining to Zhou Xiangyang, but Zhou Xiangyang didn't take it to heart at all.

In Zhou Xiangyang's eyes, there was no need to keep an individual coal boss in mind. So when his subordinates mentioned the name of Dongshan Mining, Zhou Xiangyang had no impression at all.

Those present are all large domestic coal companies, including top coal giants like Yankuang, state-owned enterprises such as Coal Import and Export Corporation, and local princes like Jizhong Coal Group that dominate a province, even if they are weaker.

They are all well-known coal companies in their respective provinces.

However, the final winner was a company that no one had ever heard of, which was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

While everyone was asking each other about Dongshan Mine, Li Weidong also let out a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.

This bidding process can be described as full of twists and turns. Li Weidong was victorious because of his luck and even better planning.

A large mine of this level would not normally fall into the hands of Li Weidong. Fortunately, Zhao Jinshan's relationship gave them a chance to participate in the bidding.

And it was pure luck that I happened to get that axial flow compressor. If I didn't have this machine, even if I could participate in the bidding, I would just be studying with the prince in the end.

With this axial flow compressor, a series of layouts and methods were followed, which finally allowed Dongshan Mining to defeat many large companies and successfully win the two large mines of Taifeng and Taisheng.

Huang Aihua was originally wondering which company Dongshan Mining was. When he saw Li Weidong next to him with a smile on his face, he instantly remembered that Dongshan Mining was Li Weidong's company!

"The winner of the bid turned out to be Li Weidong. This guy is so clever. We Yankuang paid 2.4 billion, but we didn't win the bid. In the end, he won the bid!"

Huang Aihua took a breath of cold air, and then said with a smile: "Chairman Li, congratulations! Not long after your establishment, Dongshan Mining has won big mines like Taifeng and Taisheng. It can be said to be a great success!"

Huang Aihua's words instantly attracted the attention of those around him.

"Is that man from Dongshan Mining? He looks so young, about thirty years old! Do you know him?"

"I don't know him. He's a new face. I haven't seen him before. He doesn't seem to be in our profession."

"Mr. Huang from Yankuang just seemed to say that Dongshan Mining has just been established. Could it be that this is a newcomer who has just entered the coal industry?"

"The newcomer can win the two mines of Taifeng and Taisheng, and his strength is no small feat!"

On the other side, Zhou Xiangyang looked at Li Weidong with a dull look on his face. The mocking expression just now had long since disappeared without a trace.

"How is it possible! That individual coal boss won the bid! Am I dreaming!" Zhou Xiangyang's mind went blank.

Several people next to me also looked embarrassed. Someone just said that there are so many large companies here, and no individual coal boss can win the bid.

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. The individual coal boss who had been ridiculed by them before had really won the bid!

Fortunately, everyone is embarrassed together. As the so-called quarrel is about, no one should criticize anyone else, otherwise they will make a fool of themselves.

"It's impossible, isn't it? Is there a mistake? We have so many big companies here, how can he get the chance!" Another person repeated this sentence.

Zhou Xiangyang glared hard at the subordinate who reported the news, as if asking, are you blind? Did you see it wrong?

The man quickly said, "I read it correctly. The bid winning announcement really said Dongshan Mining! Mr. Zhou, if you believe it or not, you can ask others!"

"It is indeed Dongshan Mining." Another person next to him said, he was a clerk from another company.

Zhou Xiangyang also knew that every company sent people to keep an eye on the bulletin board. If the winning bidder was not Dongshan Mining, others would have already given feedback.

"How could this happen? Our Jinshan Coal Industry also paid 2.1 billion, but we didn't win the bid!" Zhou Xiangyang murmured to himself.

This was overheard by the person next to him, and the person said, "Our Pingmei Energy Group has invested two billion yuan. I thought it was enough, but I didn't expect that there is another mountain as high as the mountain!"

"You offered 2 billion, and our Yunzhong Coal Mining Company offered 30 million more than you. However, Lao Zhou offered 2.1 billion but failed to win the bid. My offer of 2 billion to 30 million,

It’s a psychological balance!” Another person said.

"According to this, Dongshan Mining's bid must be more than 2.1 billion. What do you think it is? Is it more than 2.2 billion?" Someone else asked.

"It must be more than 2.2 billion!" The speaker was Cao Siyuan from the Coal Import and Export Corporation.

Wang Yuequn from Jizhong Coal Industry opposite was slightly surprised, and he immediately asked, "Old Cao, does your Coal Import and Export Corporation quote 2.2 billion?"

"Not only that, we also attached other conditions. In total, the price we gave is worth more than 2.2 billion!" Cao Siyuan replied.

"We also put forward additional conditions, but they didn't catch the eyes of Guodian!" Wang Yuequn paused, and then said: "I don't know how much Dongshan Mining paid to impress Guodian."

"How many resources can a newly established company have? I guess the money given must be relatively large! Maybe 23.4 billion." Cao Siyuan said.

At this time, Huang Aihua from Yankuang said, "Brother Li, our Yankuang quoted 2.4 billion, but we didn't win the Taifeng and Taisheng mines. It seems that your offer is lower than the 2.4 billion."

Just a little more, okay?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the figure "2.4 billion". Although everyone knew that Yankuang was wealthy, they didn't expect that they were so willing to spend money and were willing to pay 2.4 billion!

More importantly, even 2.4 billion failed to acquire these two mines, which shows that Dongshan Mining offered a higher price.

Li Weidong also understood instantly. No wonder Guodian Company wanted to purchase the axial flow compressor separately. It turned out that Yankuang paid 2.4 billion. With such a high price, he would be tempted.

Just listen to Huang Aihua continue to say: "Brother Li, could you please reveal your quotation? In this way, even if our Yankuang loses, we will lose clearly."

Everyone cast curious glances. Everyone wanted to know how much money Dongshan Mining spent to bid for the Taifeng and Taisheng mines.

Of course Li Weidong would not reveal Dongshan Mining's quotation. After all, he only paid 2 billion. If these people knew that Dongshan Mining used 2 billion to win the Taifeng and Taisheng mines, they would inevitably feel unbalanced and say

It might cause trouble again.

So Li Weidong said: "It's really not convenient for me to disclose the quotation. The main reason is that Dongshan Mining is not my decision alone. We have other shareholders, so I have to take into account the wishes of other shareholders.

Li Weidong prevaricated for a while, then smiled at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, since the bidding results are over, I won't disturb you and leave first."

Li Weidong felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time. If you talk too much, you would be wrong. Now that you know the results of the bidding, it is better to leave quickly.

"I refuse to tell you the price, but you still run so fast. There is something fishy in it!" Zhou Xiangyang murmured to himself.

"It's possible! Otherwise, how could a mere individual coal boss be able to defeat so many large companies and finally win these two mines?" the man next to him said.

"If he refuses to say anything, we don't know how much money Dongshan Mining has paid!"

"Which of you has acquaintances at the top of Guodian Corporation? Try to find out from Guodian Corporation how much money Dongshan Mining paid for."

Zhou Xiangyang thought for a while and said: "Although I know several senior executives of Guodian Company, they are just casual acquaintances, not familiar to each other. It may be a bit difficult to inquire about quotations.

But just because we can't find out, it doesn't mean that others can't find out either! People like Jizhong Coal Group and Coal Import and Export Corporation have much wider connections than we do, not to mention Yankuang!

So we just need to wait. Large companies like them will definitely have their own connections in Dongshan and come to inquire about the news. By then, won’t we know the quotation of Dongshan Mining?”

As Zhou Xiangyang expected, Huang Siyuan from the Coal Import and Export Corporation found a deserted corner and talked to someone on the phone.

"I heard from Yankuang's Huang Aihua that Yankuang paid 2.4 billion. With such a high price, it couldn't even beat Taifeng and Taisheng Mining. How much did Dongshan Mining pay for the winning bid? Could it be 20?

Five hundred million?

What? Say it again? Two billion? How is this possible? You are not making any profit from Yankuang’s 2.4 billion, but you want to make Dongshan Mining’s two billion? Do you think it’s too much money?

Moreover, the 2.2 billion we offered, plus the assistance in import trade, are much more valuable than the 2.2 billion! Did you have some behind-the-scenes deal with Dongshan Mining?

In addition to 2 billion, there is also an axial flow compressor? What is that? The core equipment of the wind tunnel laboratory? It is not available in China? Is it possible that this thing is worth 400 million?

Isn’t it worth 400 million! Then why did you let Dongshan Mining win the bid? Just because it can’t be purchased domestically? What? To speed up the research and development progress of wind power projects!

Just for such a crappy compressor, you let Dongshan Mining, which was just established, win the bid? Then if I get a machine like this, do we have to win the bid?

Are you serious? Okay, let's make a deal! You wait for me for a week, and I will send you this shaft compressor! Then you have to give me the Taifeng and Taisheng mines!"

There is no airtight wall in the world. In addition to Cao Siyuan of the coal import and export company, people such as Wang Yuequn of Jizhong Coal Group and Huang Aihua of Yankuang also found out that Li Weidong only spent 2 billion, plus one yuan.

With only one axial flow compressor, we have taken over the two large mines of Taifeng and Taisheng.

So they began to think about where to buy axial flow compressors, hoping to win back the victory.

…

Wang Yuequn of Jizhong Coal Industry Group is holding the phone. On the other end of the phone is the CEO of one of the top machinery manufacturing companies in the country.

"Lao Luo, we have been cooperating for eight years instead of ten years, right? This time we are going to build a urea project, and we will use your equipment. Based on this, I asked you to get an axial flow...

Compressor, why are you pushing three blocks and four blocks with me?" Wang Yuequn said quite dissatisfied.

"Lao Wang, it's not that I'm pushing back, it's because we really can't make this thing." Lao Luo said helplessly.

"Your technical level is already the best in the country. Even military industry orders are given to you. How can you still not build an axial flow compressor?" Wang Yuequn said with confusion.

"I'm not lying to you, we really can't make it." Lao Luo sighed helplessly, and then said: "Let me tell you the truth, you are not the first one to come to me for an axial flow compressor.

of!

Last year, people from the Institute of Aerodynamics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences came and asked us to help build this axial flow compressor. Not only did they come, they also brought us the drawings.

But the requirements for materials and production processes for this thing are too high. Even if we are given the drawings, we can’t make it! By the way, this is something that needs to be kept secret, so I’m telling you, you must not reveal it.

Get out or I'll be in trouble."

Wang Yuequn was slightly stunned. Lao Luo had even revealed such a confidential matter to himself. It seemed that they really couldn't make this axial flow compressor.

"If Lao Luo and his colleagues can't make it with their technology, then no domestic company can do it, and they can only import it from abroad."

Wang Yuequn sighed helplessly. When it came to buying imported equipment, Jizhong Coal Group had no advantage.

"The Coal Import and Export Corporation is originally engaged in import and export business. They are very familiar with imported equipment. It seems that Cao Siyuan will take the lead!"

…

As expected, the Coal Import and Export Corporation is making plans, hoping to import an axial flow compressor from abroad.

"Mr. Cao, this axial flow compressor is really hard to buy. This kind of machinery is not mass-produced, so each one must be specially customized." His subordinate said.

"Specially customized? I also said that the axial flow compressor will be shipped to Guodian within a week! If it is customized now, it will be too late."

Cao Siyuan frowned and continued, "But first let's ask the seller how long it will take to deliver the goods! By the way, which country can make this kind of axial flow compressor?"

The subordinate continued to report: "I asked people in our overseas offices to inquire about it, and finally news came from the United States that a company called Lockheed Martin can make axial flow compressors."

"Lockheed Martin? The company names of foreigners are all so long and difficult to pronounce. Unlike ours, which is called Hongqi Factory, Qianjin Factory, etc., it is just a two-character name that is nice to hear and easy to remember."

"Cao Siyuan said.

"Director Wu from the U.S. office said that he would contact Lockheed Martin." The subordinate looked at his watch and continued: "It should be evening in the U.S. now, and we will probably have to wait until tomorrow before any news comes.

"

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

Cao Siyuan picked up the phone and said: "Hello, this is Cao Siyuan? What? Say it again? News came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that our company's office in the United States was raided by the CIA?

Suspected of espionage? How is this possible! The law-abiding people we sent out have been subject to political review for several generations. They only come to the United States to do business. How can they be spies?

Are you suspected of smuggling sensitive military equipment to a high-end weapons manufacturing company in the United States? We are a coal seller. If we want to smuggle coal, why are we smuggling military equipment? We are not professional enough!

Axial flow compressor? We want to import one. Build fighter jets? Can we also build intercontinental missiles? It’s unfair, we are just a coal seller, how can we build aircraft and missiles!”

After a while, Cao Siyuan put down the phone with a sad expression on his face.

The axial flow compressor caused a tragedy.

Before the machine was purchased, the company’s U.S. office set it up first!
