"Okay, Zhou, we've decided. We'll order 60,000 horizontal lathes, 20,000 horizontal boring machines, and 10,000 milling machines! And 3,000 other machine tools!"

After a long while, Wilson gritted his teeth and said a number that even Zhou Tian was shocked. Although he had heard the conversation between the two just now, because the voices were too quiet, he did not listen carefully and did not understand the inside story. But now that he heard that they had ordered so many machine tools at once, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

"No, no!"

"Comrade Wilson, perhaps you don't understand, but our machinery factory currently produces only over 10,000 units a year, and you've ordered so many at once, and our factory's production capacity simply can't supply them all!"

Are you kidding? The domestic machine tool suppliers are already in short supply, and now the other party has ordered 60,000 units. Together with other types of machine tools, that’s 100,000 units. Then their machinery factory won’t have to do anything and will just produce machine tools for the big brother for several years.

He wants to earn foreign exchange, but that doesn't mean he is willing to give up developing other projects in the factory and only focus on the machine tool project. Wouldn't their machinery factory then become a machine tool factory?

Of course he doesn't want to.

"No, no, no, Zhou, we know that your factory's production capacity is limited, but we also have a solution. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it!"

Wilson was not in a hurry when he heard Zhou Tian's refusal. Instead, a sly smile appeared on his face. Obviously, he also knew that the machinery factory could not have such a large production capacity. What he said just now was just an introduction.

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

Zhou Tian was immediately interested in Wilson's words and asked.

Yue Changshan and others on the side were already shocked by Wilson's huge order and were speechless. When Zhou Tian refused, he wanted to speak, but when he heard Wilson's words, he swallowed the words.

Several colleagues from the Foreign Trade Department behind him also looked at Wilson with shock.

"It's simple. Since your machinery factory cannot accommodate such a large production capacity, why don't we cooperate with each other!"

Wilson said, facing everyone's gaze, with great pride in his tone: "Although our Steyr company is not a big company in China, it is not small either. If your machinery factory cooperates with our Steyr company, then we can satisfy your demand for not only 100,000 machine tools, but even 1 million."

We can also provide customers with a certain amount of compensation for each machine tool produced. Zhou, how about this? Do you think this method is suitable?"

After hearing what Wilson said, Zhou Tian couldn't help but have a trace of disdain in his eyes. He thought Wilson could provide some solution, but he didn't expect it to be just this.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a hint of sarcasm: "Do you still need me to provide you with the drawings of the machine tool? So that you can study it?"

Perhaps others don’t understand the traps here, but Zhou Tian, ​​who has awakened his memories of his past life, is very clear about the twists and turns here. It seems that this is a good thing.

The two countries can cooperate and gain certain benefits without taking risks and have huge orders, but as the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world.

How could he not know what the other party was planning? If he really agreed, wouldn't he be a fool, helping others to make wedding clothes.

At this moment, Yue Changshan and others were very moved by Wilson's words. They could provide customers and make profits. He didn't know why Zhou Tian was so opposed.

Originally he wanted to persuade Zhou Tian to agree, but when he thought of what the minister said before he left, he suddenly became quiet again.

At this time, the people from the Foreign Trade Department behind him were also very upset. In their opinion, this was such a great benefit, why was Director Zhou so indifferent? It was just a few drawings, wasn't it? Just give it to them.

Compared with the benefits they gained, a few drawings were nothing to them.

"This must be provided. How about it? Zhou, you should know that as long as you agree, the development of the machinery factory will be faster in the future, and we will also promise to provide some help for your machinery factory. How about it?"

Hearing Zhou Tian say this, a trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed across Wilson's face. He never expected that the other party already knew his purpose before he finished speaking. He couldn't help feeling very uncomfortable, but he still didn't plan to give up and continued to seduce.

"And if you agree, we can also waive a loan of 30 million rupees for your country!"

Perhaps he felt Zhou Tian’s determination, so he finally used his ultimate move.

"What, forgive the 30 million loan?"

Now, Yue Changshan could no longer remain calm and blurted out in surprise.

"Yes, as long as you agree, I will immediately ask the higher authorities to waive your 10 million yuan loan!"

Seeing Yue Changshan's excitement, a hint of pride flashed across Wilson's lips.

Obviously, he was quite satisfied with this result. Zhou Tian might not be able to say anything, but Yue Changshan was different. Maybe he felt that by doing the work through Yue Changshan, he could force Zhou Tian to agree.

Suddenly, the desire to discuss the order urgently began to fade. If he could get the machine tool drawings through pressure from above, would the result be better?

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and continued to look at Zhou Tian: "Zhou, you'd better think about this matter. We are not in a hurry. When you have thought it through, we will come back!"

After saying that, he winked at Zals and several engineers behind him, and they all stood up and prepared to leave.

Yue Changshan and the others naturally saw what Wilson and the others meant. Although they wanted Zhou Tian to agree, they also knew that they could not influence Zhou Tian's thoughts at all. They could only stand up and nodded to Zhou Tian, ​​intending to report today's events to their superiors to see if they could agree.

Afterwards, Zhou Tian saw everyone off and they left the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory.

It was not until the sedan and jeep disappeared from Zhou Tian's sight that a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, he had seen through Wilson's intention to use the higher-ups to pressure him, but he was extremely disdainful of it. Although the bait he had given was indeed not small, he was afraid that he had underestimated the wisdom of the higher-ups.

Even he himself could see the meaning of this, so he didn't believe that the higher-ups wouldn't be able to see it.

"Director, do you think Wilson is planning to have the higher-ups put pressure on us?"

Seeing his factory manager's sneer, Liu Yuan couldn't help but step forward and ask in a low voice.

Obviously, Liu Yuan also understood some of what Wilson said just now.

"Don't worry about it, and don't say anything. Anyway, let's see what the higher-ups mean. But I guess Wilson might end up losing more than he gains this time!"

"Okay, it's almost time to get off work, let's go, it's time for us to go home!"

Without waiting for Liu Yuan to ask anything else, Zhou Tian turned around and walked towards the carport under the administrative building!
