When will I have a long tassel?

Tang Zifeng was holding a child who was not crying, feeling refreshed and waiting to watch the excitement, but Factory 82 was already in a state of panic.

For several days, the relevant departments of Factory 82 have been communicating with PATEO, repeatedly emphasizing that the information they previously submitted to PATEO was not false, and that the precision milling machine that Tengji has just passed the appraisal has indeed reached the level of similar international equipment. Factory 82 The reason why I gave up my career and chose PATEO was purely out of my trust in PATEO's century-old goodwill and had no other hidden reasons.

Regarding Qi Muden’s blog post, Factory 82 also explained it, saying that Qi Muden was just an economics professor and didn’t know much about industrial production. He only wrote it based on hearsay and some unreasonable speculation. Such an article. Regarding the views in the article, Factory 82 completely disagrees, and we hope that PATEO will not believe it either.

But credit is difficult to establish but easy to destroy. PATEO had doubts about Factory 82, which could not be eliminated by some explanations from the other side. For Botai, selling 200 precision milling machines is naturally a very important matter, but if it violates EU rules, it will not be worth the gain.

After several days of hard work, PATEO's attitude finally relaxed. They made a request to Factory 82. To resume the purchase of milling machines, Factory 82 must provide more solid evidence to prove that the embargo on such milling machines is no longer necessary.

"It's easy." Fan Chaodong slapped his chest loudly. Unfortunately, the two parties were in contact via email, and the other party couldn't see his performance at all.

"We can organize another technical appraisal and ask PATEO to send engineers over. It's a mule or a horse. Can't we just take it out for a walk?" Fan Chaodong said.

"But..." Production Director Yao Xiyuan hesitated.

"But what? Please ask Botai to send someone here, and we will cover all the expenses. There is nothing we can do about it. Who asked the guy named Qi to write blindly!"

Speaking of Qi Mudeng, Fan Chaodong became extremely angry and wished he could send this guy some blades or something.

Yao Xiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Director Fan, I'm not talking about the cost. What I'm saying is that if we want to organize another technical appraisal, we need the consent of the aircraft manufacturer..."

"Why didn't Teng Ji agree?" Fan Chaodong blurted out a sentence without thinking. He was stunned after saying it, wasn't it? Teng Ji's side might not be easy to talk to.

Manufacturers have always supported product technical appraisal, because only after passing the appraisal can the manufacturer finalize the product and start selling it. In the past, in order for Factory 82 to purchase their equipment, some manufacturers not only offered to carry out product appraisals, but also paid for all the food and lodging expenses of Factory 82’s participating appraisers, and served them delicious food and drinks throughout the process, for fear of being a little neglectful. .

It was precisely because of this experience that Fan Chaodong felt that Tengji had no reason not to agree to conduct another product appraisal. But as soon as the words came out, he realized that the situation this time was really different from the past. The purpose of Factory 82’s request for another product appraisal was to prove to Botai that Tengji had mastered the manufacturing technology of special precision milling machines, and the purpose of proving this was to allow Botai to lift the embargo on milling machines from China.

To put it more bluntly, during this appraisal, Tengji was completely making a wedding dress for someone else, and the bride was also his love rival. How lowly did Tengji have to be before he agreed to do this?

"For this matter, I guess we have to ask the Science and Technology Commission to ask Mr. Xie from the Mechanical and Electrical Corporation. If Mr. Xie sends the message, Tengji will not be able to refuse. We are doing this for the cause of national defense. I believe Mr. Xie You can completely understand us." Fan Chaodong said, still somewhat unsure in his tone.

The last time Factory 82 asked Tengji to help develop a special precision milling machine, it asked Xie Tiancheng to be the middleman. As a result, Tengji developed the milling machine, but Factory 82 broke the appointment, which was equivalent to screwing up Xie Tiancheng. Afterwards, Tengji complained everywhere. Xie Tiancheng also made two special trips to the Science and Technology Commission to report the situation to the leaders of the Science and Technology Commission and express his strong dissatisfaction.

Because Xie Tiancheng was being reasonable, the leader of the Science and Technology Commission had to comfort Xie Tiancheng with kind words, and also asked Zhong Xu to bring verbal criticism to Factory 82, roughly saying that Factory 82 handled the matter too hastily, causing It has caused some adverse effects, and we should take this as a warning and not do it in the future.

Now that the aftermath of the incident has not passed, Factory 82 wants to ask Xie Tiancheng to come forward to say hello to Tengji. Can Xie Tiancheng agree?

When things got to this point, Fan Chaodong could only report to the Science and Technology Commission with the mentality of being a dead horse, claiming that in order to promote PATEO's decision to lift the embargo on milling machines, another product inspection must be carried out in Tengji. Technical appraisal, and Germans will also be invited to participate. As for how to get Tengji to agree to carry out this technical appraisal, it would be troublesome for the leaders of the Science and Technology Commission to worry about it.

"What happened last time greatly hurt the feelings of all the cadres and workers of Tengji. Now you have proposed to conduct another technical appraisal, and the purpose is to persuade the Germans to agree to sell precision milling machines to you. I don't agree with this sentence. It’s so easy to talk.”

Facing Fan Chaodong and Zhong Xu who came to ask for help, Xie Tiancheng replied in a cold tone.

“Mr. , this will affect our delivery of equipment to the troops on schedule, and the consequences will be very serious.

"So, we still ask Mr. Xie to say hello to Tengji for the sake of national defense construction. In fact, Tengji doesn't have much to do. It's just to take out the machine tool that was appraised last time and appraise it again. The cost is , we can bear it all." Zhong Xu begged in a low voice.

Xie Tiancheng frowned and said: "Botai won't sell machine tools to you. You can definitely purchase Tengji. After all, Tengji's products have been certified and their performance is fully qualified. In the past, you said that Patei's equipment was better. , is more efficient, so we have nothing to say if we refuse the equipment for Tengji. Now that PATEO has changed its mind, isn’t it natural for you to go back and buy Tengji equipment?”

"This..." Fan Chaodong hesitated.

“Mr. It is better to ensure the quality of military products..." Zhong Xu said.

"That's it..." Xie Tiancheng couldn't shirk anymore. Before Fan Chaodong and Zhong Xu came to the Mechanical and Electrical Corporation, the leader of the Science and Technology Commission called Xie Tiancheng. In addition to apologizing, he asked Xie Tiancheng to put the overall situation first and be sure to help Factory 82.

When working within the system, we still need to adhere to some basic principles. In general matters, everyone can argue with each other for the sake of departmental interests, but when it comes to issues of principle such as national security, no more tricks are allowed.

"Well, let me call Tengji and tell them about the situation. The comrades in Tengji have great opinions on this matter, and I have to do their work first. Otherwise, Wouldn't it be more troublesome if some comrades were in a bad mood and something happened during the appraisal? You said that the Germans would be invited to participate. If something unpleasant happens, it will affect us. The country’s international image.” Xie Tiancheng said.

How does this relate to the country’s international image?

Fan Chaodong and Zhong Xu felt like alpacas running wildly in their hearts, but they couldn't refute. They understood that what Xie Tiancheng wanted to say was not an international image issue, but a hint to them that if Tengji was dissatisfied, it was entirely possible for him to make some tricks at the appraisal meeting.

They hope that Tengji can show its strength in front of the technicians of Botai Company to prove that Tengji has completely mastered the manufacturing technology of special precision milling machines. However, Tengji can completely do the opposite and deliberately mess things up. This made PATEO feel that Tengji's technology was nothing more than this, and it further strengthened its determination to embargo machine tools to China.

For Xie Tiancheng, Factory 82 could ask the leader of the Science and Technology Committee to speak. With Xie Tiancheng's level, he would not be angry about issues of principle. But the situation at Tengji is different. Those cadres and workers are not so aware. If someone does something irrational, even if they can be punished afterwards, the consequences will be irreversible.

"So, Mr. Xie, when do you think you are going to say hello to Teng Ji?" Zhong Xu asked.

"Oh, I'm quite busy these days. I have several meetings..., maybe next week." Xie Tiancheng said.

"No!" Fan Chaodong almost cried.

Today is only Monday, okay? If we push it to next week, it will be seven days. No, Xie Tiancheng only said it would be next week, not necessarily next Monday, right? If he meant next Friday, it would be more than ten days.

Speaking of which, the purchase of a batch of equipment is not that fast. It is common for things to drag on for a year or two. But Fan Chaodong knows a word: long nights and many dreams. It would drag on for more than ten days here, and another dozen or so days elsewhere, and it might drag on for several months. The factory is still eagerly waiting for the equipment to be in place to start production. Can he afford it?

What's more, they had finally negotiated the technical appraisal again with PATEO. If one appraisal was delayed for several months, would PATEO accept it?

“Mr. , I won’t bother thanking you, Mr. Fan.” Fan Chaodong said.

"Oh, is it just a phone call?" Xie Tiancheng looked like he was thinking, "If it's just a phone call, I'm afraid that the comrades on the other side of Tengji will not be able to communicate with each other. To communicate with them, we still need to spend some time. It’s time. Let’s go back first and wait for my news. What do you think?”
