When will I have a long tassel?

"Holy shit! Oh shit, shit!"

Tang Zifeng repeated seven or eight profanities, which made Xiao Wenjun over there want to pull his ears and scold him.

"Wenjun, did you remember the data correctly?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"It's not very accurate. A more accurate number should be 257 units." Xiao Wenjun said.

"Damn it!" Tang Zifeng shouted, and then asked unwillingly: "Is there any special situation in 2001 that caused their machine tool output to plummet?"

"In 2002, there were 200 units, and in the first eight months of 2003, there were 80 units. Do you think this is a special situation?" Xiao Wenjun asked.

"So that's it!" Tang Zifeng sighed, "I guessed that this guy named Fu was not a thing, but I never expected that this guy would be so different."

"What, you were deceived by him?" Xiao Wenjun heard some clues and asked with concern. After all, Linji is a company owned by her husband. If she is really deceived by a Russian liar, she will not be reconciled.

Tang Zifeng curled his lips and said, "How is this possible? Think about what your husband does. Is there anyone in this world who can deceive me?"

"Then you looked so angry just now, you were obviously deceived." Xiao Wenjun said with a smile. Tang Zifeng still had the heart to brag, which at least meant that he didn't suffer too much, so Xiao Wenjun felt relieved. Based on her understanding of Tang Zifeng, Tang Zifeng should be able to recover the losses he suffered, but the "named Fu" probably will not be happy in the future.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Zifeng turned to look at Han Weichang, and saw that Han Weichang was also looking at him eagerly.

"What, Mr. Tang, what did Professor Xiao say?" Han Weichang asked. Tang Zifeng had just cursed, but Han Weichang really heard it and knew that there must be a big problem.

Tang Zifeng said: "Xiao Wenjun said that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's machine tool industry has collapsed. In the first eight months of last year, the output of CNC machine tools in Russia was only 80 units."

"How much!" Han Weichang's eyes widened.

"80." Tang Zifeng said calmly.

"This is impossible!" Han Weichang's reaction was the same as that of Tang Zifeng before, and he was also shocked on the outside and tender on the inside.

As the general manager of Linji Group Sales Company, Han Weichang knows the domestic machine tool production capacity very well. According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, there were 256 companies in China producing metal cutting machine tools in 2003, with a total output of 300,000 units. Among them, 117 manufacturers produced CNC machine tools, with a total output of approximately 37,000 CNC machine tools.

Calculated based on the above data, each CNC machine tool company produces an average of 300 CNC machine tools. According to Tang Zifeng, the output of CNC machine tools in Russia in the first eight months was only 80 units. For the whole year, the full output is about 100 units, which is not even comparable to the output of a Chinese company.

How is this possible!

However, this data was provided to Tang Zifeng by Xiao Wenjun. It was impossible for Xiao Wenjun to joke about this issue. That is to say...

"This guy named Fu is lying to us!" Han Weichang shouted out loud.

Isn't it? If the whole of Russia only produces more than 100 CNC machine tools a year, how can this little-known Petrov Machine Tool Factory sell its products to European countries? How is it possible to have CNC technology that is on par with Germany and Japan? Linji Group made great efforts to accompany Frolov and his party on the inspection, thinking about how to get some benefits from the other party. Who would have thought that they would be deceived by a big liar.

"Mr. Tang, this is my mistake. I will report it to the group!" Han Weichang set his own tone very consciously. He is the general manager of the sales company, and he should have sufficient understanding of the international and domestic markets. Now that such a mistake has occurred, how can he shirk responsibility.

"This matter has nothing to do with you." Tang Zifeng said. After that, he changed his words and said, "This matter is not your responsibility alone. We were all deceived by this old boy named Fu."

"Is it possible that Zhao Xinggen also conspired with him to deceive us?" Han Weichang reminded. If something goes wrong, it is always good to have one more person to take the blame. Frolov was brought by Zhao Xinggen, so it is undoubtedly a good choice to throw the blame on Zhao Xinggen.

Tang Zifeng waved his hand and said, "Zhao Xinggen shouldn't have the courage or the need. I guess he was also deceived by Frolov."

"Then what should we do? Should we go through the police station and detain these Russians first?" Han Weichang asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "Why detain them? So far they have not defrauded us of any benefits. At best, they have just lied a few times. This is not illegal, right?"

"But the purpose of their bragging is to defraud us."

"What's the benefit of lying?"

"this……"

Han Weichang was speechless for a moment. Isn't it? Frolov and the others made up a powerful lie in order to cooperate with Linji Group and ask Linji Group to provide them with machine tools and optical machines. They did not say that they would not pay.

According to what Han Weichang learned from Zhao Xinggen before, the Petrov Machine Tool Factory once asked Longfor Machinery Company to produce some optical machines for low-end machine tools for them, all of which were paid in cash. In order to win over this "big customer", Zhao Xinggen gave Frolov a lot of profits in the first few orders. He suffered some losses, but this was also a normal business behavior, and Frolov did not violate it. law.

Since the other party did not break the law, why should I detain him?

"Old Han, don't alert them first, let's stabilize them first. I will notify Zhang Jianyang and Lao Qin to come over now, and let's have a small meeting to discuss this matter." Tang Zifeng explained.

Zhang Jianyang and Qin Zhongnian came over soon. Tang Zifeng asked his secretary Xiong Kai to close the door, and then reported the news he heard from Xiao Wenjun to Zhang and Qin.

"What, the whole of Russia only produces more than 100 CNC machine tools a year, how is this possible?" Qin Zhongnian was extremely shocked after hearing the news, "Xiao Tang, is Wenjun right?"

Tang Zifeng spread his hands: "I don't know either. Chief Engineer Qin, you have more connections than me. Can you go and inquire about it now?"

"Yes, I can ask someone to ask." Qin Zhongnian patted his head, then took out his mobile phone and started to make a call.

In fact, in terms of connections, Qin Zhongnian is definitely not as good as Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang, but his advantage lies in having a group of acquaintances in the technical field, and these people are often more sensitive to the technology and production dynamics of the international machine tool industry.

After making seven or eight calls in succession, Qin Zhongnian's face became solemn. He put away his mobile phone and said in a sad tone: "It is basically confirmed that the data Wenjun said is true. Russia's machine tool industry, It has really declined to such an extent that people cannot believe it. Oh, how could this happen! How could it be like this!"

"Yes, I think back then, although the Soviet Union's machine tools were not as technologically advanced as those of Western countries, they were still of such a large scale that we all had to look up. How did it become like this in just a few years?" Han Weichang also sighed.

Tang Zifeng couldn't understand the emotions of Qin Zhongnian and Han Weichang. When Tang Zifeng graduated from university and was assigned to the Machinery Department, the Soviet Union had collapsed, Russia was in deep economic crisis, and it had lost its past glory. In Tang Zifeng's mind, Russia can still handle its nuclear arsenal and Typhoon-class nuclear submarines, but it is lackluster in other aspects.

But Qin Zhongnian and Han Weichang are different. They are both old people in the machine tool industry. In their eyes, the former Soviet Union is a behemoth that makes people feel oppressive. It is the goal they strive to catch up with. Although they also know that Russia's strength is not as strong as before after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. They still subconsciously think that Russia is very powerful.

Because of this preconceived impression, when Frolov boasted in front of everyone, everyone still believed it. Coupled with some of the technical strength shown by Jacob, Qin Zhongnian forgot to go to his colleagues to verify the other party's situation.

"I have a great responsibility for this matter. I am the chief engineer of the group. My lack of clear understanding of the development of Russian machine tool technology almost caused the group to make wrong decisions. I am willing to accept the punishment from the group." Qin Zhongnian said .

"No, no, the main responsibility for this matter lies with me." Zhang Jianyang rushed to say, "I am the executive vice president. For such a big matter, I did not arrange for anyone to conduct an in-depth investigation, which led to misleading Mr. Tang. Judgment, this mistake is mine.”

"Chief Engineer Qin, Jianyang, please stop blaming yourself. This matter is my responsibility..." Han Weichang began to repent again.

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop it." Tang Zifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you doing? You all act like you have made a big mistake. Aren't you just being fooled by an old Russian liar? We didn't lose any money or sex. We just entertained them for a few days and let them drink a box of Erguotou.

"Jianyang, you still have to admit that I have foresight in this matter, right? You said you wanted to use Wuliangye to entertain them, but I was the one who insisted on replacing it with Erguotou. With the drinking capacity of these guys, you can calculate, we can save How much did you bet?"

Qin Zhongnian originally looked distressed, but when he heard what Tang Zifeng said was so nonsensical, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. This smile relieved his heart a little. He pointed at Tang Zifeng with his hand and said, "Zifeng, how long has it been, and you are still making such a joke? I really admire you."

"When can it be now?" Tang Zifeng looked innocent, "Old Qin, didn't I just say that we didn't lose any money or shame, we lost a box of wine, and it was the cheapest Erguotou. Now that these guys have come to our door, we definitely can’t let them go away in vain. If they eat and drink from me, we have to squeeze some oil and water out of them.”

Digression: Regarding the situation of the Russian machine tool industry, I still can’t believe it. I don’t know if I am wrong. The data in this article come from the following documents:

My original story design was not like this. After checking the information, I was dumbfounded. It was not like that at all! The plot was temporarily changed.
