When will I have a long tassel?

"Zifeng, why are you so concerned about this matter?"

After finally being free, Xiao Wenjun asked Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng was sitting in front of the computer, playing an old game from more than ten years ago. Hearing Xiao Wenjun's question, he said with a smile: "Don't you think that what you did is plagiarizing my ideas?"

"No way?" Xiao Wenjun looked surprised, "Tang Zifeng, I have known you for more than 20 years, how come I didn't know you still have thoughts?"

"Look what you said, why am I out of ideas?" Tang Zifeng retorted without anger, "I am also the last graduate of the Planning Department of Renmin University. The four words "comprehensive balance" are engraved in my soul. In. Tell me, does what you are doing now reflect the idea of ​​comprehensive balance? "

"That's right." Xiao Wenjun had no intention of quarreling with Tang Zifeng. She admitted that the reason why she thought of such a model was indeed influenced by some subtle influences of Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng’s undergraduate major is planned economics. Although the country is now engaged in a market economy, planning thinking will never be outdated. The comprehensive balance mentioned by Tang Zifeng is reflected in many fields. The cross-enterprise machine tool sharing system developed by Xiao Wenjun does reflect a kind of planning thinking to a certain extent. Tang Zifeng is not entirely wrong when he says that she plagiarized his own ideas.

Of course, the so-called plagiarism is just a joke between husband and wife, and Xiao Wenjun will not take it seriously.

"But, Zifeng, have you ever thought that implementing this system would be very detrimental to your machine tool companies." Xiao Wenjun said, "Originally, every company had to buy machine tools, but now it is possible to share resources. Some companies You don’t have to buy it. Doesn’t this impact your business? How can a money-crazed person like you support us in implementing this system?”

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Tang Zifeng asked arrogantly.

"Well, let's listen to the lies first." Xiao Wenjun pursed his lips and smiled. There are advantages to hearing lies first. It is also interesting to know how hypocritical Tang Zifeng is.

Tang Zifeng said: "The lie is that although I am the general manager of a commercial machine tool company, I am also a national cadre. When thinking about problems, we should not just start from the interests of the company, but should consider maximizing the interests of the country. Each company The realization of machine tool resource sharing among enterprises has indeed affected the market of machine tool companies like us, but the benefits it brings to various manufacturing companies far exceed the losses it brings to us, so I support this matter. "

Xiao Wenjun thought for a while and said: "What you said cannot be completely false. You have always been a person with an overall view. Mr. Xu, Director Xie and Director Zhou have all praised you in this way. Others say this, It may be a lie, but what you Tang Zifeng said is still somewhat credible."

"Thank you, madam, for your understanding." Tang Zifeng said with a smile.

"So, what is your truth?" Xiao Wenjun continued to ask.

Tang Zifeng said: "The truth is, the system you have implemented has indeed affected our sales in the short term, but in the long term, it has improved our competitiveness. Any business leader with a long-term vision will Support the system.”

"I don't quite understand." Xiao Wenjun said.

Tang Zifeng said: "In the past, it was an opportunity, then it was an opportunity, and now it is a business opportunity. One thing I have not changed is that I always set the company's competitors as foreign machine tool companies. Don't you deny this?"

"I've always known that."

"Compared with foreign machine tool companies, we started late, have low brand awareness, and there is still a gap in technical level. That is to say, we have some advantages in product prices and good after-sales service, so we have won part of the Asian, African and Latin American markets. We have also made some breakthroughs in the European and American markets, but overall, our competitiveness is still relatively weak and we are at a competitive disadvantage."

"Yes. However, this disadvantage is also shrinking. Aren't you always confident about this?"

"There is definitely confidence. We have invested so much money in technology research and development. It is entirely possible that the technological gap with foreign countries will continue to narrow and eventually surpass our foreign counterparts. However, this process may take a long time. After all, we are not standing on the same ground. The land is waiting for us, and companies like Someno and Heimsat are also working hard."

"So, what does this have to do with our machine tool sharing system?"

"It does matter. The system you have developed is unique in the world. Neither the Japanese nor the Germans can build such a system in their own countries. And the advantages of this system are very obvious. Anyone who joins this system can greatly improve the efficiency of equipment use and save the purchase cost of special equipment. I believe that over time, foreign manufacturing companies will also ask to join this system and engage in cross-border resource sharing."

"This is already happening now. Some companies in Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan have applied to join the sharing platform so that they can use our domestic idle machine tool resources. An overweight component is processed in China and then shipped to Japan. Go, and the cost is much less than buying a super-heavy machine tool. Some companies have begun to queue up OEM orders for large machine tools."

"That's right." Tang Zifeng put down the mouse and said seriously, "You must continue to work hard and strive to attract more foreign companies to make this platform an international platform."

"But, I still don't understand what this has to do with your interests?" Xiao Wenjun said with a smile. She didn't mind that Tang Zifeng was going in too many circles. Some things needed to be explained in circles. After being with Tang Zifeng for more than 20 years, Xiao Wenjun had become accustomed to Tang Zifeng's style.

"Do you think, if manufacturing companies around the world are included in your platform, then the equipment they use must also follow the standards of your platform?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Xiao Wenjun nodded: "Indeed, although our platform can accommodate various models and standards of equipment, equipment that meets specific standards is easier to share with other companies. For some companies, old equipment cannot be replaced, and there is no way , but when purchasing new equipment, they will more or less consider following our platform standards."

"Isn't that enough?" Tang Zifeng smiled sinisterly, "Your platform standards are actually our standards. Enterprises that join this platform are equivalent to being kidnapped by this standard. Under the same conditions, they will be more We tend to purchase equipment that meets our standards. Western machine tool companies will either produce according to our standards or be abandoned by users.

"Tell me, is this absolutely good news for us?"

"It's really like that!" Xiao Wenjun understood immediately.

The sharing of machine tools across enterprises actually changes the rules for machine tool utilization. Originally, when companies purchased machine tools, they only needed to consider their own needs. Now, they have to consider whether these machine tools can be OEM for other companies when they are idle, and they must also consider whether their machine tools match those of other companies, so that when production is tight, they can borrow machine tools from other companies to OEM for themselves. work.

Changes in rules will inevitably lead to a reshuffle of the market. Companies that can master the rules will be the beneficiaries of this round of reshuffle.

The machine tool sharing platform was launched by Chinese machine tool companies. If this platform spreads abroad and even becomes a platform commonly used by global manufacturing companies, it means that Chinese machine tool companies dominate the rules of the platform. At this time, as long as you do some tricks on the platform rules, you can lead the machine tool users by the nose and make them more inclined to choose Chinese machine tools.

Under the current rules, Chinese machine tools are at a competitive disadvantage. To reverse the disadvantage, it requires a lot of investment and enough time. And if the rules can be changed, the disadvantages of Chinese machine tools will be reduced and the advantages will be expanded. This is indeed good news.

"Zifeng, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xiao Wenjun complained, "If you had told me earlier, when we designed the algorithm, we would be more biased towards our Chinese machine tool companies. Even just changing the weights would affect users. s Choice."

"How do you know I didn't do this?" Tang Zifeng said proudly, "I have already told Xiaohui about this. Aren't your algorithms and weights done by Xiaohui's team? They are inside There is a lot of private stuff hidden, and it’s the kind of private stuff that no one can see.”

"There is such a thing, why didn't you tell me?" Xiao Wenjun said angrily.

Tang Zifeng said: "Aren't I worried that Professor Xiao has academic mysophobia? The tricks we did are too tacky, and I'm afraid it will stain Professor Xiao's eyes."

"Then why are you telling me again now?"

"Because the system is now running, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"Bah! You did it on purpose!" Xiao Wenjun said.

At this point, she somewhat understood Tang Zifeng's intention. Xiao Wenjun did not need to do things like adjusting weights himself, and Xiao Wenjun may not do it well. Only Business Opportunity's own technical department knows what kind of settings can be more conducive to the machine tool sales of Business Opportunity Group. Xiao Wenjun is a theoretical person, so he doesn't have a clearer grasp of these specific data than Yu Xiaohui and others.

Xiao Wenjun is indeed a person with some academic mysophobia. If she is allowed to participate in these things, she will definitely have some knots in her heart. Doing academic work still requires a simpler mind, so that you can produce better results. It made sense for Tang Zifeng to hide this from her.

"No wonder people say that you tactics are too dirty."

Xiao Wenjun glared at Tang Zifeng and said bitterly.
