Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

The small conference room in the second guest house was temporarily requisitioned by the 20-ton petrochemical equipment working group and turned into an office.

Don't look at this inconspicuous working group, the lineup is quite impressive. The group leader is personally served by a deputy director of the Planning and Economic Commission, presiding over the overall work. He Jianye, as the executive deputy group leader, is responsible for specific work. In addition, the Ministry of Petroleum and the Ministry of Industry are dispatched Division-level cadres join the working group.

At nine o'clock in the morning, in the guest house canteen, a simple bidding meeting was held.

He Jianye, who was sitting in the center of the rostrum, began his brief speech without making too many grand remarks:

"Time is precious, so I will just make a few points. 20 tons of petrochemical equipment is a task of strategic significance. The leaders above have one sentence: no matter the cost, no matter the cost!"

"All of you here are important business leaders. You don't need a heavy hammer to sound the drum. You can't be indomitable when you go to the ministries and commissions every year to ask for funds. You can't be timid when it comes to serious equipment battles. Everyone should have received the notice. This bidding Not only will there be 20 tons of petrochemical equipment, but there will also be bidding for other machinery export orders in three days. Let me say something ugly up front. If there are so many orders that you can't do, don't waste time in the future going to ministries and commissions to ask for funds. The country can't Raise a loser!"

"It is the first time for many companies to accept orders from foreign companies. After the bidding for each supporting facility is completed, a strict supply contract must be signed. If it cannot be completed on time with quality and quantity guaranteed, if it is delayed for one day, foreign companies will make high claims. But it cannot be done like this It’s the same as in the past, regardless of Sanqi 21, everything is served on the plate. After signing the contract, the breaching company will need to bear huge compensation, and the person directly responsible will be removed from office on the spot, and even be held legally responsible!"

He Jianye's words were like thunder from the ground, and the entire bidding meeting exploded, with endless complaints and questions.

He Jianye was unmoved and continued: "There is no room for bargaining. Next, each company will go to the staff to receive technical bids based on its own technical capabilities. They think they can do most of the work, but there are still some technical bottlenecks. Submit an application to the working group and request technical guidance.”

The first day of the bidding meeting passed amid noise and chaos. Lu Peide frowned, came to He Jianye's desk with a stack of bidding documents, and said in a hoarse voice: "Director He, the situation is not optimistic. Except for some subcontracting tasks agreed upon in Hannover, the bidding mainly focused on infrastructure, pipeline installation, drying equipment and ventilation equipment, and almost no one was interested in equipment that was a bit technically difficult!"

He Jianye comforted him and said, "Lao Lu, it's normal to be undecided about difficult equipment. You should communicate with them more and see what concerns they have. For some key components, you can ask the working group for help!"

The bidding meeting on the second day still made little progress. However, after complaining and questioning, most companies began to delve into technical details. Otherwise, there are advantages in this era. Most of the technical staff do not hide secrets from each other. Whether they are discussing together or asking for advice on technical difficulties, they are all willing to teach each other. Some companies with relatively backward technologies dare to challenge their own limits after receiving strong support from their brother units.

This is the advantage of a national game of chess. Major equipment battles across systems can often lead to unexpected breakthroughs.

On the third day, the technicians of Daqingwan Machinery Factory led by Luo Binghui arrived in Yanjing and suddenly became the focus of the bidding meeting. Almost every technician was surrounded by a lot of people, asking for advice on materials and processes that usually troubled them. question.

Lu Peide finally began to smile on his face. Most of the supporting equipment has been bid by companies. The remaining centrifuges, pressure storage tanks, refrigerators, compressors, and reactors will be led by the Northern Petrochemical Machinery Factory according to the previous agreement. Organize key national enterprises, as well as chemical industry research institutes and major universities to jointly tackle key problems.

What doubles Lu Peide's confidence is the basic material issues that have been plaguing domestic companies, because the commitments of Zhiyuan Technical Consulting Company no longer exist. The most critical processing of high-strength crankshafts and blades is also supported by Daqingwan Machinery Factory.

In fact, many key equipment that cannot be produced independently are often stuck on one or two key components, such as a corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant gas valve, or a spindle screw with extremely high technical requirements, or an extremely difficult welding process...

It is difficult to break through these key components. In fact, many of them are because the basic material level does not meet the design requirements, or the cutting equipment is backward and there is a lack of precision CNC machine tools.

After receiving the support of his father, who had retired behind the scenes, Chen Hanqing sent his close men to several major sericulture provinces in the mainland and signed silkworm cocoon purchase contracts without anyone noticing.

By the time the Japanese reacted, the price of fresh cocoons had soared from less than US$1 per catty to US$1.3, and the price of raw silk had risen to US$2.2 per ton.

Morio Maeda of the Yokohama Textile Industry Association was furious on the phone: "Baga! You idiots, you didn't notice such a big move by the Xiangjiang people! The damn Xiangjiang people, while negotiating with us, stabbed us in the back!" "

This was not over yet. As soon as Morio Maeda put down the phone, the phone beeped again: President Maeda!My name is Fujino Ryuji of the Kobe Raw Silk Exchange. In view of the sharp fluctuations in raw silk prices, your short raw silk contract on this exchange faces the risk of liquidation. Please increase your margin in time..."

"Chairman Maeda, the French and Italians have increased the purchase price of dried cocoons and raw silk in Thailand and Indonesia for two consecutive days. The price increase has reached as high as 25%. Do we want to follow up?"

"Chairman Maeda! We placed short orders on raw silk at the Singapore Futures Exchange and were surrounded and suppressed by many parties..."

In the evening of the same day, Xiangjiang Wireless Financial Information broadcast exclusive interviews with people.

"We are fortunate to have Mr. Chen Hanqing, the executive director of Nanfeng Textile, today. Hello, Mr. Chen! Nanfeng Textile has been involved in various rumors recently. Is there anything you want to say to our audience friends?" the beautiful host asked with a smile. .

Chen Hanqing pondered for a while and then said: "All the negative news about Nanfeng Textile is due to foreign companies wanting to acquire Nanfeng at a low price. I personally despise this kind of rumor-mongering and slander. Nanfeng will also reserve the right to investigate rumors and slander." The right to bear legal responsibility!”

"Mr. Chen, you have been disappearing from the public eye recently. Are you planning something big?"

Chen Hanqing smiled and said: "We have really planned a big event. Nanfeng's silk reeling factory has completed all equipment installation and will start production in the next two days. This largest silk reeling factory in Asia will help Nanfeng Textile enter the market. A brand new track..."
