Chapter 502 Discrimination
"Manager Yang is talking about Spischer's company, right?" Jiang Daqiao suddenly spoke out, and Yang Xiangxin was stunned when he asked.
He nodded and replied with a calm expression: "I didn't expect Mayor Jiang to know too. Alas, it's really atrocity!"
Zhou Shuo was unclear, so he didn't know what puzzle the two were fighting, so he had to ask: "What is Spischer's company doing? What does it have to do with Mr. Yang's Fengtian Machine Tool Group?"
Yang Xiangxin sighed with a bitter face, "Mr. Zhou doesn't know that Spischer in the United States is a CNC machine tool company and is well-known in China. Our Fengtian Machine Tool Group has imported a batch of mk800 CNC machine tools from them, but when processing a batch of gears two days ago, there was an uneven distribution of gear teeth. What we need for this batch of goods is an important political task..."
Zhou Shuo said in surprise: "Since this is a equipment problem, then I will ask the manufacturer for technical support!"
This is a political task. Generally speaking, it is an important military system accessories. Maybe it is used as a key equipment on aircraft and missiles. Since it is sent to Fengtian Machine Tool Group, it is the country's trust in you. The quality, quantity, and time cards will be very strict. If you do it well, it should be done poorly, and the person responsible will even take military law!
No wonder Yang Xiangxin was absent-minded and frowning when he first came. It turned out that he was not the time to come from home, and he was causing such a big trouble in his hand. If it weren't for Mayor Jiang's face, Zhou Shuo might not even meet someone else's face.
"Hey, the problem is here." Yang Xiangxin said annoyed: "When I came, Spicher's office manager had just arrived at the factory. However, people refused to admit that it was a equipment problem. Instead, they said that it was an error in our program setting! Not only did they not provide repairs, they also required us to upgrade the system software, which would cost money to upgrade the system!"
"What's the reason for this?" Zhou Shuo said incredibly: "This is too domineering. Is there any etiquette, righteousness and shame in Spischer's company?"
"Does they have the technology? What can you do? If we don't upgrade the system, our batch of parts cannot be completed on time, with quality and quantity, which will delay the mission on the army?"
Yang Xiangxin gritted his teeth and said, "If this is the case, it would be fine. After all, upgrading the system can make the equipment more useful. But this is not a system upgrade at all, but a system patch! Spischer company has been modifying this error for users for free abroad. However, when it comes to China, it is not only not acknowledged that it is a mistake, but also charged a fee!"
Zhou Shuo then understood why when Jiang Daqiao called Yang Xiangxin, his face suddenly became so ugly. Anyone who encountered such discriminatory terms would be unrighteous indignation?
However, such large international companies discriminate against the Chinese market too much. If everyone is angry, I really don’t know when they will be angry. The Japanese who are far away from "first-class products are sold in China, second-class products are sold in Europe and the United States, and third-class products are sold in China", just say that the Sagitar will suddenly break the bottom bar - Volkswagen is not not that their car has design problems, but rather that it is a problem with your mainland driver's driving habits. In the end, I will reluctantly install a metal plate alarm for you.
There are too many similar things in China. If Spicher dares to do this, it is to bully you, China does not have this technology. If there is a manufacturer in China that replaces them, will you still need a market for doing this? Since you have to use my equipment in China no matter what, then I still care about you? It is serious to make a fortune as soon as possible.
"Then Mr. Yang just said, can I help with this?" Zhou Shuo nodded simply and said, "If you have anything to do, just say it, I'll help you with this!"
"That's right, we don't understand CNC technology, especially software technology." Yang Xiangxin nodded gratefully and said, "Americans want to charge for upgrades, but they just insist that no one understands their technology. We are a heavy industry enterprise. There are no ten people who understand computers in the factory. This is not, people just pick up a few professional names casually. We're just blind. Since you are doing this, can you use professional technology to prove it? This is indeed their software error?"
"This is OK, but in this way Spicher's company can retreat?" Zhou Shuo asked in confusion.
Yang Xiangxin said unwillingly: "You have to try this. If it really doesn't work, I can only swallow this. The overall situation is the most important thing."
"Okay, that's not too late, I'll contact someone now."
Qu Daokui and Shan Nuo also came to attend the factory ceremony of the lithography machine before, but were later kept by Zhou Shuo. Now the two of them have also arrived in Fengtian with Zhou Shuo, and immediately made preparations with one call.
Zhou Shuo and Yang Xiangxin bid farewell to the Jiang Bridge and drove to the reservation. Zhou Shuo received two people on the way through his mobile phone and drove to the Fengtian Machine Tool Group in the suburbs at lightning.
Fengtian Machine Tool Group applied for a low-interest long-term loan of 100 million yuan from the World Bank last year, and 65 million of them were spent on civil engineering. The newly built group headquarters and a brand-new factory are really beautiful and atmospheric, and they also occupy a large area.
The factory area of Fanhan Group is nearly 500 acres, and Zhou Shuo originally thought it was considered very large. However, compared with Fengtian Machine Tool Group, which has an area of more than 2,000 acres, it is a slight witch.
Zhou Shuo drove behind Yang Xiang's new car. After driving into the factory, he had to drive for more than ten minutes before he arrived at his destination.
The factory area of Fengtian Machine Tool Group is full of dark blue light steel structure factories that are more than ten meters high.
These workshops are surrounded by flat cement floors and a circle of old locust trees that are thick with one person. If it is the best enjoyment in summer on weekdays, it is almost like a fan of a palm-leaf under this old locust tree and a cup of tea.
But today, no one has this leisure and leisure.
The CNC production workshop in the factory was surrounded by people at this time. Workers who could not produce due to equipment errors were unable to produce, engineers responsible for equipment maintenance, and leaders in the group were responsible for procurement, translation and supervision, and almost densely surrounded the workshop three floors and three floors outside.
"Manager, this American is so annoying!"
When he saw Yang Xiangxin coming out of the car, a sharp-eyed worker saw him. As soon as he shouted, everyone looked over, and suddenly there was a surge of emotions.
"That's right, isn't this bullying? Manager, are we just accepting this?"
"Can't recognize it! Eject the Americans out and never use their equipment again!"
"Yes, I can't recognize it! Manager, drive the Americans away!"
"Silent, everyone, calm down!" Yang Xiangxin stood by the car, surrounded by workers who drove over. Otherwise, what about the workers in state-owned enterprises? The ownership that has been cultivated over the past few decades is really not just a saying. Will private enterprise workers care about what equipment your factory uses and what anger is? They just use money to work, who cares about you?
But the workers in state-owned enterprises are really honored, and the shame is shamed. At least in the mid-1990s, it was still a glorious thing to be a worker in state-owned enterprises.
"Comrades, I'm very angry that such a thing happened. But we can't act voluntarily, we must put the overall situation first! The batch of gears currently processed are tasks assigned by the state, so they must be completed on time, with quality and quantity! In order to serve the overall situation, we must not do things to avenge revenge. You must know that maybe we are happy, but the country cannot say that there is a greater loss in any aspect!"
"Comrades, please give me a way. I have to fight for the US side. This is the only thing we can do now! If there are comrades who are not convinced, you should work harder and one day build our own CNC machine tools for us Chinese so that Americans will never dare to underestimate us again!"
After Yang Xiangxin said this, no one on the court was clamoring. With just this command, it can be seen that his people and capital in Fengtian Machine Tool Group are expected to be expected. As a manager, he does not have the position of the general manager.
Yang Xiangxin raised his hand and waved it, and the crowd automatically gave way. He took the lead and took Zhou Shuo and Shan Nuo into the workshop.
"Wow!" Shan Nuo immediately glared in surprise as soon as he entered the workshop: "bxn-933 machining center! This one needs to be priced at a price of one million US dollars, right?"
He pointed to a huge fully enclosed machine tool at the door of the workshop and asked in a low voice in Qu Daokui's ear.
"The Germans offer is 850,000 US dollars, bare metal! Including accessories, service fees, freight fees, and training fees, you will definitely not be able to get this equipment without a million US dollars. There are not many factories in our country that can afford it."
"This is just placed at the door, the more you go in, the better the equipment."
Shan Nuo and Qu Daokui watched here for a while, Zhou Shuo followed Yang Xiangxin without squinting, and the four of them walked towards the workshop.
After a while, they walked to a separate area in the workshop. This area was separated by a glass and aluminum alloy partition, which separated it from other areas in the workshop. Obviously, the equipment here is more important than the equipment outside.
"This is Elle, the office manager of Spischer Company." Yang Xiangxin introduced Zhou Shuo and the other two, then took a deep breath and asked Elle in pure English: "Mr. El, would you rather lose Fengtian Machine Tool Group as a customer, and stick to your previous opinions and refuse to maintain our equipment for free?"
