Chapter 683 The ultimate waste of work

Dayang Machinery Group.

"Director Song, I have discussed with several experts in the industry, and the results of the discussion are not optimistic. Experts generally believe that Fukang Agricultural Machinery's tracked self-propelled rotary tiller is more likely to be recognized by the expert group."

"Why? In what way is our rice harvester inferior to Fukang's crawler rotary cultivator? This is a product that fills a gap in the country!" Song Chengde asked with an unconvinced look.

"Farming machinery inherently has advantages over harvesting machinery. Fukang's crawler rotary tiller also fills a domestic gap. The key is that the crawler rotary tiller is a new product independently developed, and our rice harvester is a copy of Kubota's rice harvester.

.”

The other party paused for a moment, then continued: "Japan has been making rice harvesters for many years, and you can buy them with money, but crawler rotary cultivators have not been made in other countries. From now on

In terms of aspects, the crawler rotary tiller has more advantages!”

In China's agricultural production, the farming link has always been more important than the harvesting link. This is very intuitively reflected in the development process of agricultural production tools.

In ancient China, the plow, as a farming tool, was the agricultural tool that had been improved the most. As for the importance of other agricultural tools, it was far less important than the plow.

The same is true in the age of agricultural machinery. Chinese farmers' demand for agricultural machinery for farming is far greater than the demand for agricultural machinery for harvesting. What we often call "intensive farming" also refers to serious and meticulous farming in agriculture, without mentioning harvesting.

In the eyes of the farmer uncle, the rough American-style agricultural mechanization, which often results in the loss of 10% or 20% of the crops, is absolutely unacceptable. For Chinese farmers, even after the first round of harvesting is over, they still have to go to the wheat fields to start another harvest.

Glean the ears of wheat.

As for the sophisticated harvesting machinery of Germany and Japan, in the eyes of Chinese farmers, they are not as useful as human hands.

In agricultural production, excluding uncertain factors such as natural and man-made disasters, farming determines the lower limit of agricultural output, while harvesting determines the upper limit of agricultural output.

During the harvesting process, minimizing the loss of fruits as much as possible can naturally increase the yield. However, how many kilograms of grain can be grown on this piece of land cannot be determined by the harvest. It depends on cultivation.

If five hundred catties of grain grow from a piece of land, even if there is no loss at all during the harvesting process, the harvest will only be five hundred catties at most.

And if the land is cultivated with some care and grows 600 kilograms of grain, even if it loses 10% during harvest, there will still be a harvest of 540 kilograms of grain.

Therefore, agricultural machinery of plowing type is more valued than agricultural machinery of harvesting type. Whether agricultural experts or farmers, when voting, they will definitely prefer different 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 machinery is enough to lead an agricultural machinery revolution.

In comparison, although the rice harvester copied 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. Although it is more expensive, it can still be used as long as you spend money.

Bought.

One is a replica 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 of the two.

This is just like in 2007, Samsung has made a feature phone that is not inferior to Nokia, and Apple has launched its first smartphone. If you were an investor, which one would you choose?

So when it comes to the expert voting stage, Fukang Agricultural Machinery’s crawler-type rotary tiller will definitely have advantages over Dayang Machinery’s rice harvester.

Regarding this conclusion, Song Chengde was a little helpless. He frowned slightly: "So, we really start from those seven experts. As long as the seven experts are willing to vote for us, no, the minority obeys the majority.

As long as four experts vote for us, we will win!"

"The key is that we don't even know who is on the expert team now!" one of his subordinates said.

"I will inquire about this!" Song Chengde pondered for a moment and then said: "Contact a public relations company. Such professional public relations matters must be left to professionals."

…

With Song Chengde's connections in the industry, it was easy to find the seven members of the expert team. Then he invited a professional public relations company and asked them to formulate a public relations plan.

The public relations company quickly investigated the backgrounds of these seven experts.

Photos of seven experts are posted on the photo wall in the conference room.

The project manager of the public relations company pointed to the first photo and introduced: "This is Professor Jiang Boyuan from Northeast Agricultural University. He studies threshing machines. In recent years, his main research direction has been the pre-cut threshing system of crops.

Professor Jiang's research topic is similar to your company's rice harvester, so he is most likely to invest in 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. Winning this vote will not be a problem."

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 Xiangnan Agricultural University, this is an expert from your province. I think your company should be familiar with it, right?"

Song Chengde nodded: "We once 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 for a while and said, "It seems to be ten thousand yuan!"

"Five or six years ago, ten thousand yuan." The project manager pondered for a moment and said, "Director Song, this is not enough!"

"I didn't expect it to happen today, otherwise we would have sponsored more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan!" Song Chengde said with some annoyance.

The project manager could guess that 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 him 10,000 yuan, treating it as a beggar.

The mere interest of 10,000 yuan is not enough for Ma Haitao to vote for Dayang Machinery. Maybe Ma Haitao will deliberately vote for Fukang Agricultural Machinery to avoid suspicion.

Just listen to the project manager continue to say: "Since Dayang Machinery has sponsored Professor Ma's scientific research in the past, it can be regarded as a good relationship with Professor Ma. It will be more logical to sponsor him scientific research funds next time. But this time, Gui

The company can make more money."

Song Chengde nodded and said, "I was worried before that direct funding for scientific research would be too blatant."

The project manager said: "Actually, there are many ways to sponsor scientific research funds. For example, Professor Ma is also a doctoral supervisor. The doctoral students he led also undertook some of Professor Ma's scientific research projects.

We can start from this aspect and give some of the sponsorship funds to those doctoral students so that they can help 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 it." Song Chengde said without hesitation.

The project manager of the public relations company pointed to the third photo and said: "Professor Wang Wei was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Agricultural Mechanization of the Ministry of Agriculture and deputy dean of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at East China Agricultural University. He is an expert in innovative research and development of domestic root crop production equipment.

A key member of the team.

It is not easy to win Professor Wang Wei's vote. The scientific research projects he has done are all related to peanuts, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and have nothing to do with rice harvesters.

However, I found out that Professor Wang Wei has a daughter who is in her third year of high school and is about to take the college entrance examination. Although this child is doing well in studies, she will definitely have no chance of getting into Tsinghua University and Peking University. At most, she will only get a bachelor's degree.

Intellectuals tend to pay more attention to their children's education. If Wang Wei's daughter takes the college entrance examination in China, she won't be able to get into a good university. If we can help his daughter go to 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: "In fact, 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 do it."

Helping Chinese students study in the United States.”

"How much will it cost?" Song Chengde asked subconsciously.

"It also depends on what kind of university it is. The better the school, the higher the fees. I guess Professor Wang doesn't like ordinary schools, so I have to find a slightly better university. The whole set of procedures will cost fifty

Ten thousand!" the project manager replied.

"Five hundred thousand." Song Chengde frowned slightly. Although the price was a bit high, it was still acceptable.

So Song Chengde nodded: "Okay, then we will spend five hundred thousand to buy this ticket."

The project manager pointed to the fourth photo and then introduced: "Zhao Zhongyue, the president of the Jingzhou Agricultural Machinery Cooperative, called several university professors. Zhao Zhongyue is an agricultural machinery expert at the grassroots level. He has worked at the grassroots level in rural areas for more than 30 years.

I have received many commendations.”

"I have seen reports about this person in newspapers and heard that he has made technical improvements to many types of agricultural machinery." Song Chengde continued:

"When testing agricultural machinery, it is one thing to have excellent performance, but when it comes to practical use, various problems will always occur. Zhao Zhongyue has modified agricultural machinery to address these problems. It is called agricultural machinery.

'Earth expert'. So what does this earth expert lack?"

The project manager answered: "We have conducted an investigation and found that Zhao Zhongyue has a son who is very good at gambling. He owes a lot of gambling debts and even borrowed loan sharks. I think we can start from this aspect to help

His son asked Zhao Zhongyue to vote for us on the condition that he exchange gambling debts."

Song Chengde thought for a while and said, "A bad gambler doesn't deserve sympathy. It's bad luck for him to have such a son."

"Jiang Boyuan, Ma Haitao, Wang Wei, plus this Zhao Zhongyue, there are already four votes. With four out of seven votes, your company has won." The project manager said.

"I don't think it's safe. What if one of these four people runs away from the ticket? How about adding another vote? It's like buying an insurance policy!" Song Chengde said.

"No problem." The project manager pointed to the fifth photo: "Zhang Yougui was once a member of our country's agricultural technical assistance team for Ethiopia. He now works at the Agricultural Society, but he has reached the age of retirement.

We have investigated and found that Zhang Yougui is relatively good at fame and fortune. He is currently looking into publishing a book. If we can help in this regard, we should be able to get Zhang Yougui to vote for us."

"It shouldn't be difficult to publish a book! Isn't it just a matter of buying a license? This is easy to handle." Song Chengde said.

"It's not enough to just publish a book, you have to underwrite part of it," the project manager explained.

"That's no problem, a book is only ten or twenty yuan, and if you sell ten thousand copies, that's over two hundred thousand! We at Dayang Machinery can afford this money!" Song Chengde said with an air of grandeur.

Compared with the previous one who spent 500,000 to study abroad, buying a ticket for 200,000 is much cheaper.

…

It's finally time to vote.

At the meeting at the Agricultural Machinery Appraisal Station, all seven experts were present. In addition, the two company leaders, Yue Ping An and Song Chengde, were also present.

Webmaster Chen presided over the center and said: "For the sake of fairness, I 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 them on the spot.

, let the company answer.”

Although five of the experts have been publicized by Dayang Machinery, they still need to do some cosmetic work, so after the product introduction, the experts began to ask questions.

The so-called full show includes not only asking questions, but also some exchanges and debates between experts, each expounding his or her own views, and from time to time refuting the other's views.

Song Chengde looked at this scene triumphantly, but felt in his heart that the money was really worth the money. Before voting, these experts had already acted.

Yue An'an looked at the experts acting there coldly. From the exchanges and debates among the experts, Yue An'an had clearly felt that Jiang Boyuan, Ma Haitao, Wang Wei, Zhao Zhongyue and Zhang Yougui were obviously biased.

From Dayang Machinery.

After more than half an hour, the experts finally finished expressing their opinions. Webmaster Chen also said: "Every expert has finished the discussion and I believe we have reached a conclusion, so let's start voting now!"

Song Chengde breathed a sigh of relief, he finally reached this stage.

"Please wait a moment!" Yue Ping An suddenly stood up, bowed slightly to everyone, and then said: "Before voting, I have another document here for all experts to take a look at."

Yue An'an said, took out a document from his 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. What you have seen

It’s a copy.”

"Recommendation letter from the Hybrid Rice Research Center? This Yue Ping An is really trying to trick you!" Song Chengde frowned fiercely and continued in his mind: "But this recommendation letter can't change the overall situation!"

However, Yue An'an went on to say: "The Hybrid Rice Research Center was among the first 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 incredible is that the crawler rice harvester we produced was finally recognized by Mr. Yuan. Being recognized by Mr. Yuan is the highest recognition and encouragement for our work!"

"Mr. Yuan's approval?" Song Chengde raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Yue, this is not something you can brag about casually!"

Song Chengde's subtext is, don't use Mr. Yuan's name to fool around here!

Yue An'an flipped to the last part of the letter of recommendation, pointed to it and continued, "How dare I brag about this kind of thing? It is signed by Mr. Yuan."

Everyone immediately turned to the last page and saw Mr. Yuan's signature!

"It's really Mr. Yuan's signature!"

"Since Mr. Yuan personally recommended it, how should we vote?"

"I definitely support the agricultural machinery products that Mr. Yuan approves of!"

Even the five public relations experts changed their attitudes in an instant after seeing Mr. Yuan's signature.

Although the people present are all agricultural machinery experts, in terms of qualifications, professionalism, and even contribution to the country, in front of Mr. Yuan, they are just the light of a firefly, how can they compete with the bright moon!

How could he object to agricultural machinery products that Yuan Laodu approved? Who dares to object!

Next to him, Song Chengde also turned to the last page, staring at Mr. Yuan's signature with his eyes wide open.

He knew that even if he had public relations with seven experts, it would not be as good as Mr. Yuan's signature.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Mr. Yuan’s approval, even hoes and shovels can be included in the Ministry of Agriculture’s promotion list.

Thinking about how much effort you have put into finding a public relations company, conducting investigations and analysis, and then carrying out targeted public relations, it can be said that it takes a lot of effort.

However, Yue Ping'an only made one move and immediately completed the comeback.

“It’s the ultimate wasted work again!”
