When will I have a long tassel?

"Mr. Chu, there are guests who want to see you. Do you want to see them?"

The little secretary timidly came in to report.

"What kind of guest is this?" Chu Zhanlong asked casually.

"They said that they are from China Commercial Machine Tool Group Co., Ltd. and they came specifically to discuss machine tool issues with Mr. Chu." The secretary responded.

"China Commercial Machine Tool Corporation, where did this unit appear?" Chu Zhanlong felt a little baffled. He was about to wave his hand to the secretary to send away these uninvited guests, but suddenly a thought came to his mind and he changed his mind. He ordered: "Invite them in and come to my office."

In a short time, the secretary came in with three people. The leader was a man in his 50s. When he saw Chu Zhanlong, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chu, long time no see, you have gained weight again."

"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Li. We are rare visitors. We haven't seen each other for a while."

Chu Zhanlong stood up and stepped forward, shook hands with the other party, and greeted him politely. He recognized the man's name as Li Tongxing, the deputy general manager of Qingbei Machine Tool Company, and he was considered an old friend.

Qingbei Machine Tool Company is located in Qingbei City, Ningxiang Province. It is an old machine tool company. Its reputation and strength back then were several notches higher than that of Xinwei Company. When Xinwei Company was founded, Chu Zhanlong went to Qingbei Machine Tool Company to buy machine tools and encountered some troubles. Later, he was introduced to Li Tongxing, and Li Tongxing actually helped him solve many problems. The friendship between the two was It was formed at that time.

Because Xinwei Company entered the field of wind power equipment, its business scale continued to expand, and its strength quickly surpassed Qingbei Machine Tool Company. The positions of both parties were reversed. It was no longer Chu Zhanlong asking Li Tongxing to help buy equipment, but Li Tongxing. Chu Zhanlong purchases equipment from Qingbei Machine Tool Company.

The rule Chu Zhanlong set for the company is that major equipment must be imported, but minor equipment can be purchased domestically. Remembering his friendship with Li Tongxing back then, he instructed the equipment purchasing department to purchase some machine tools from Qingbei Machine Tool Company every year, amounting to several million.

This transaction amount is insignificant to both Xinwei Company and Qingbei Machine Tool Company. The relationship between the two gradually faded to the level of sending each other text messages during holidays. By the way, the text messages the two of them sent were all done by their secretary, which is just a bit symbolic.

A rough calculation shows that Chu Zhanlong has not seen Li Tongxing for three or four years, and has never paid attention to Li Tongxing's movements, so he doesn't know why he came to the door in person under the name of "China Commercial Machine Tool Group Corporation" .

"Mr. Chu, let me introduce you." Before Chu Zhanlong could inquire about the change in Li Tongxing's identity, Li Tongxing pushed the two people who came with him to the front and began to introduce him to Chu Zhanlong:

"This is Mr. Yu Xiaohui, the chief engineer of our China Commercial Machine Tool Group Corporation. This is Mr. Yu's assistant Liu Jiangyuan, Mr. Liu. Today I mainly brought them two to see Mr. Chu."

"Hey, Mr. Yu, forgive my blindness, welcome." Chu Zhanlong followed Li Tongxing's instructions, turned his head to Yu Xiaohui, stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party, and said polite words in his mouth.

Chu Zhanlong came from a grassroots background and always believed in the ancient saying that making a fortune silently. Although Xinwei Company is now a big business, he will not easily show arrogance and arrogance in various situations. He didn't know where the China Commercial Machine Tool Group Company came from, and naturally he didn't know how valuable the beautiful female chief engineer in front of him was. Seeing that Yu Xiaohui was in her 30s and a woman, he had some disdain in his heart. Most of his politeness to her was for Li Tongxing's sake.

As for the Liu Gong who came with Yu Xiaohui, Chu Zhanlong simply ignored it. Li Tongxing said that this Liu Gong was just Yu Xiaohui's assistant. It was enough for Chu Zhanlong to be polite to Xiaohui. There was no need to say hello to her assistant.

Yu Xiaohui shook hands with Chu Zhanlong, and Chu Zhanlong introduced Xu Jinyun, Lu Yujie and other subordinates to them. Then the two parties took their seats and started talking.

"Mr. Li, when did you leave Qingji? Why didn't I hear about it?"

Before getting into the topic, Chu Zhanlong first asked Li Tongxing about the current situation. He also wanted to use this question to understand the details of the so-called China Commercial Machine Tool Group Corporation.

"I haven't left Qingji. I'm still the deputy general manager of Qingji, but I added the word "executive" in front of it." Li Tongxing replied, and then chuckled and said: "Chu always wanted to ask about the Business Opportunity Group. Right? Our China Commercial Machine Tool Group Corporation was just established last month. Our Qingji is now a subsidiary of Business Opportunity Group, and Mr. Yu is the chief engineer of our parent company and my immediate boss."

"What, Qingji is just a subsidiary of Business Opportunity Group?" Chu Zhanlong was stunned, "Then how big must this Business Opportunity Group be...?"

As a native of Ningxiang, Chu Zhanlong knew how good Qingbei Machine Tool Company was. Although Qingji's annual output value is much less than that of Xinwei Company today, its status in the machine tool industry is much higher than that of Xinwei Company. There is no other reason. As early as 60 years ago, Qingji was already a key state-owned enterprise. At that time, let alone Xinwei Company, even Chu Zhanlong was still in a cellular state. How could he compare with others?

In the early years, when state-owned enterprises still had administrative levels, Qingji was a department-level unit, which meant that the leader of Qingji could go to Qingbei City to be the top leader. In recent years, state-owned enterprises have been de-administrated and have become less hierarchical, but their status is still there. Who in the corporate circle doesn't understand this?

But such a company has now become a subsidiary of another company. So, how good does this parent company have to be?

Thinking back to the fact that the beautiful lady whom he ignored just now was actually the chief engineer of Qingji's parent company, Chu Zhanlong could figure out what level that was. He is less than 40 years old and has reached such a level. What kind of master is he!

"Commercial Machine Tool Group Corporation is one of a number of large-scale enterprise groups established by the country in order to cope with the new environment of international competition. Our country's machine tool industry has a large overall scale, but its competitiveness is not strong enough. One of the important reasons is that it is too powerful. dispersion.

"There are more than 50 large state-owned machine tool companies in our country. The scale of each company is very weak compared with foreign machine tool giants, and they are in a very disadvantageous competitive position under the current new situation.

"In view of this, led by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, various companies established three large-scale machine tool group companies last month based on the principle of voluntary alliance, and our Commercial Machine Tool Group Company is one of them."

Seeing that Chu Zhanlong didn't understand the company's situation, Yu Xiaohui took the initiative to introduce it.

"Oh, it turns out it was only established last month. No wonder... Oops, I'm ignorant. I haven't heard of such a big thing. It's really..." Chu Zhanlong kept doing it. After reviewing it, he then asked: "I don't know what other companies your group has besides Qingji. Let me see if there are a few that I know."

“In addition to Qingji, our group also includes Linhe No. 1 Machine Tool Company, Tengcun Machine Tool Company, Changning Machine Tool Company, Bailiu Machine Tool Company, Pumen Machine Tool Company, as well as some small and medium-sized machine tool companies and several research institutes. So, Mr. Chu may not have heard of it," Yu Xiaohui said.

"What, Linyiji is also a subsidiary of yours. Hasn't Linyiji been merged with Linji Group a long time ago? Are you saying that Linji Group has also been merged with Business Opportunity Group?" Chu Zhanlong asked in surprise.

Compared with Qingbei Machine Tool Company, Linhe Machine Tool Group Company is more famous in the industry. Chu Zhanlong had always known that Linyiji and Tengji were both companies under the Linji Group. Now that Yu Xiaohui said that these two companies were both part of the Business Opportunity Group, Linji Group must have been abolished and became part of the Business Opportunity Group.

Yu Xiaohui smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Chu really knows our industry quite well. In fact, Business Opportunity Group was established with Linji Group as the main body. The general manager of Business Opportunity Group is Tang Zifeng, the original general manager of Linji Group. "

"Mr. Tang was originally going to work at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but later I heard that the central leadership personally ordered him to work at the Business Opportunity Group for a period of time to straighten out the company before leaving.

"Also, Chief Engineer Yu used to be the chief engineer of Linji Group. She is a well-known technical authority in our machine tool industry. She has been personally commended by the central leadership several times." Li Tongxing presented to Chu Zhan like a treasure. Long introduced.

"That's it." Chu Zhanlong nodded. He can now imagine what a behemoth the Commercial Machine Tool Group Company is. In the eyes of others, his Xinwei Company is really not enough.

Chu Zhanlong had never paid attention to Yu Xiaohui's name in the past. But Chu Zhanlong had heard of Tang Zifeng mentioned by Yu Xiaohui. Some of his friends who work in government departments have told him many times about Tang Zifeng and claimed that he had countless predecessors. Li Tongxing introduced that Tang Zifeng was going to serve in the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Chu Zhanlong had heard about it. But just such a person has now become the general manager of the Commercial Machine Tool Group Company, which shows how much the country attaches importance to this company.

"General Engineer Yu personally came to our small company. I don't know if he can give you any advice."

After understanding the difference in status between the two parties, Chu Zhanlong became even more low-key and asked Yu Xiaohui.

Yu Xiaohui waved her hand and said: "Mr. Chu, you are very polite. We are here to seek cooperation with Mr. Chu this time. We heard that some machine tools that Xinwei Company plans to introduce from abroad are affected by European restrictive policies and cannot be used." Now that it’s in place, I wonder if Mr. Chu has considered solving the problem of machine tool demand based on China.”

"Based on the country? What Chief Engineer Yu means is that when you have an opportunity..., ah no, your business opportunity group wants to provide us with machine tools?"

Chu Zhanlong frowned and asked in a hesitant tone.
