Chapter 492 This is because we can make it ourselves
After a busy day, everyone in the delegation was so tired that they were thirsty. The three people in the Reinstallation Office were mainly responsible for answering technical and cooperation questions, and designed plans for them according to the needs of various countries, assessing the cost, etc. Zhang Heping and Feng Fei were also arrested, helping to pick them up and send them, and talking about international friendship with uncles.
Zhang Heping is a little better. He is originally a person who talks about people and talks about ghosts. His secret skill is his trick. Feng Fei was in trouble. He is introverted by nature and is not good at dealing with people. But he is worried that he is not enthusiastic enough and delays the affairs of the country, so he can only force himself to smile with others. At night, he only feels that the muscles on his face are stiff. When everyone gathered in Wu Shican's room for a meeting, Feng Fei covered a hot towel on his face, which looked quite funny.
"As far as the situation negotiated today alone, at least five countries have clearly expressed their desire to introduce our equipment, three of which need fertilizer equipment, one is thermal power equipment, and the other is hydropower equipment. If these intentions can be reached, this is a contract of about 70 million yuan, and it is US dollars!"
Wu Shican was hoarse, but the smile on his face was so bright.
"Congratulations!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "Is this a good start?"
"It must be a good start. The export contracts of more than 70 million US dollars, and they are almost outdated technology. It's really a beautiful thing. Lao Zhang, let me tell you, just the set of fertilizer factory equipment that Director Wu talked with the US Minister of Industry today. He said he gave a 30% discount to others. At that time, I almost laughed. The price he quoted would not be able to get our cost by 20% off. This is too scammed." Wang Genji was overwhelmed with the news.
Feng Xiaochen said: "Even if you get 30% off, it is considered cheap. I know the equipment mentioned by Director Wu is a product that is accumulated by Xinyang Secondary Machine? At that time, Xinyang Secondary Machine built the main machine and several most important pressure vessels. As a result, the country compressed the infrastructure and the project was discontinued. Deng Zongbai and others were both anxious. If the United States was willing to take the tower, Old Deng would probably have to invite Director Wu to drink a month's wine."
Feng Fei said in an vague voice: "Xiaochen, is it not appropriate for us to do this? The country has always advocated supporting Africa. How can we sell the backlog of products to others at several times the price?"
"Uh, this..." Wu Shican's old face turned a little red. Like Feng Fei, he belonged to the older generation. He has been educated for many years in the country and believes in the principle of being kind to others. This time he went to Africa to sell equipment, and he was very convinced, but Feng Xiaochen asked him to report the price to such a high level, so he was a little hesitant. He originally thought that the price he quoted would make the other party unhappy, and he had the mentality of bargaining with the other party. Who would have thought that the other party felt that these things were very cheap and kept asking him if he had suffered a loss, which made his three views very messy.
Wang Genji is a second-generation ancestor. He never thought there was anything wrong with taking advantage of others. After hanging out with Feng Xiaochen for a few years, this problem has worsened a little. He said disdainfully: "Old Wu, just quote your price steadily. Have you ever seen others thank us so much? This thing is not valuable in our place, but in Africa. The prices we quote now are already low. If it is Western countries, if they don't double the price, they will be embarrassed to say that they are imperialist."
"But, when we purchase equipment from Western countries, people don't offer this." Wu Shican said, "Just say that the 300,000 tons of large fertilizer equipment we introduced from Japan is more than 40 million US dollars. I have estimated that if we can achieve localization, the cost of a 300,000 tons of equipment will be nearly 30 million US dollars. Considering that Japan's labor costs are higher and management costs are also factors such as factors, this price is very reasonable."
"This is because we can build it." Feng Xiaochen said leisurely, "The industrial foundation we have built over 30 years is incomparable to other developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Although we can't get 300,000 tons of equipment, we will build 50,000 tons, and we also understand the laws of industry. The Japanese dare not quote too high prices to us. If they dare to quote a sky-high price, we will not import it at worst and do it ourselves. Even if the quality is slightly worse and the performance is not as good as that of the Japanese, it will be better than being slaughtered by them.
But African countries are different. They do not have the technology and cannot build it themselves. Moreover, they lack industrial talents. When it comes to cost and cost, they don’t understand it at all. So Westerners can safely and boldly cut their wool."
"After all, if you know, people will not dare to make things difficult for you." Zhang Heping interrupted, "I have also done equipment procurement. Of course, it is not your industrial equipment, but the equipment in our system. Anything that we cannot make in China will be priced at a sky-high price. Do you want it? When can we build it? Even if the level is worse than them, they will quickly reduce the price."
Feng Fei was also inspired by this statement. He said, "I remembered something when Director Zhang said this. Our factory bought a French testing equipment, which contained a partition, which was made of special metals, and it is said to be able to prevent electromagnetic interference and other things. Later, it was worn out, so we asked the manufacturer to provide us with another one. The price was 20,000 francs, and there was no bargaining."
"What happened later?" Feng Xiaochen asked with interest.
"Later, we found a brother unit who made the materials and helped make one, which is a thousand yuan, and it can be used if replaced. The accuracy and sensitivity of the equipment have not changed." Feng Fei replied.
"They actually reported 20,000 francs for a thousand yuan, which is much darker than us." Wu Shican sighed.
"That's not counting." Feng Fei said, "Later, our comrades in the testing room went to France for a meeting and talked about this with the technicians of that company. What do you think they said?"
"What did you say?" everyone asked together.
Feng Fei said: "People say that it doesn't matter whether that board is necessary or not."
“…”
Everyone was stunned. What's the matter with this special meow? Since it's a board that is worthy or not, you can open your mouth for 20,000 francs. Isn't this a fool?
"So Xiao Feng was right just now. If we don't know how to do it, we will suffer losses and be deceived." Wu Shican concluded.
Wang Genji smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that Professor Gao didn't talk about global cooperation? We should tell him the story that Gong Feng told him to see what he thought."
"How can he feel?" Wu Shican said, "He is the kind of person who has no backbone. Foreigners' things are good, and our own things are all earthy. But he didn't think about it. Without these earthy things, we can only stick our necks and wait for others to cut them down like these African countries. If we can meet a seller like our China, they all think they have met a savior."
When he said this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head. He felt that he had been brainwashed by Feng Xiaochen. He originally thought that quoting high prices to African countries was a bad thing, but why did he become at a blink of an eye and even feel a little proud. No, after returning to this matter, he still had to report it to the organization to see what the organization was thinking. He could not be led astray by these young people.
When Zhang Heping hesitated for a moment when he heard everyone talking about Gao Lei, he said with a smile: "There is a situation that is still a bit secret, but after I looked at it, everyone is not the kind of person who can leak secrets, so I just said it."
"Director Zhang, if it is not suitable for us to know, there is no need to say anything." Wu Shican reminded.
Zhang Heping waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary to hide it from you. In fact, internal documents will be sent soon. You are all qualified to read the documents. What I want to say is that according to the information we have in our system, some Western countries are targeted to win over and corrupt some of our cadres, so that they can become spokespersons of Western forces in our country. Some of these cadres are in power departments and can affect the specific decisions of the country. Some are only engaged in news, academic research and other aspects, but they can also affect our concepts and make us unconsciously follow the paths drawn by the West for us. Now that the country has noticed this situation, it may take some actions."
Wang Genji said: "I have heard from our old man about this matter. It seems that the West has a special word for such people, called Trojan."
"We have talked about the Fifth Column in the past, and that's the same thing, right?" Feng Fei said.
"That's about that." Zhang Heping said, "The entire struggle situation is very complicated now. Some people are being pulled over by the enemy and deliberately sabotage them, while others are brainwashed by the other party. They think they are kind-hearted, but in fact they are doing bad things. It is really difficult for us to distinguish these two types of people."
"Gao Lei should belong to the latter type," Feng Xiaochen commented.
"How do you know?" Wang Genji asked.
Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "He doesn't have that IQ."
"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed together. Feng Xiaochen's evaluation was even worse than saying that Gao Lei was the former. Although he was a bad person, he was still wise. Feng Xiaochen directly said that Gao Lei was a stupid person. For a scholar, what else is more lethal than a stupid evaluation?
