Chapter 479 Versailles Master Tang Zifeng
"Hey, Mr. Li, I just heard the news. Mr. Tang, who is on the verge of leaving, said that he plans to transfer the technology of multi-station automotive machine tools to domestic machine tool companies. Can you come to Pujiang as soon as possible?"
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, can you ask the company to send a leader over? There are very important opportunities here."
"Hey, Mr. Wang, this is great news. It might turn out to be a big project worth more than a billion yuan. My small body can't handle it. Please come over here and take charge..."
In every corner of the venue, there were people holding cell phones and secretly calling their companies, calling company leaders to come to Pujiang to seize such a rare opportunity.
The contents of the conversation between Tang Zifeng and Xia Chongjie were also spread through various channels by Han Weichang, Qin Zhongnian and others. This time, in addition to personnel from various domestic car companies, those who came to participate in the technical seminar also included personnel from multiple machine tool companies.
Some of the personnel from these machine tool companies came here on their own after hearing the news, while others were simply specially invited on the last chance. Their initial purpose of coming here was just to listen to the technical report on the machine and see if it could provide any inspiration for the company's research and development.
The great development of the automobile industry has been witnessed by all machine tool companies. Everyone wants to get a share of it. However, they lacked technology accumulation before and were unable to compete with foreign manufacturers in terms of high value-added machine tools. In such a feast, only Can pick up some leftovers.
The launch of a multi-station machine tool on the spur of the moment and a fight with Someno attracted special attention in the machine tool industry. Everyone was waiting to see the final results, and most companies were not optimistic about this matter. They felt that the opportunity was inevitable. If you don't overestimate your capabilities, you may end up with a mess.
When the first set of policies of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was released, Puzhou Automobile accepted the machine tools on the spot, half-heartedly, and everyone's eyes were red, and their hearts were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
All companies understand that once Linji's machine tools are successfully tried in Puqi, domestic automobile manufacturers will inevitably turn to Linji. Linji is equivalent to digging a gold mine, and they can almost make money in the next ten or twenty years.
Seeing the success of the machine tool, the bosses of various machine tool companies gave orders to their technical departments, asking them to overcome the difficulties of multi-station machine tools as quickly as possible and not to miss this train.
But the development of multi-station machine tools cannot be achieved by just issuing a dead order. Someone has gone to find out more about it, and they know that Linji had accumulated technology several years ago, and spent a huge sum of 500 million yuan on it in the past year. It can be said that he spared no effort in local research and development, and only then did he come up with a product that is comparable to Someno. Technology.
Of course, Linji is not the only machine tool company that can spend 500 million yuan, but it is the only one that has the courage to spend 500 million yuan to bet on a technology. Even after seeing the immediate success, various companies are still hesitant when discussing investment. They clearly want to eat meat but are not willing to pay for it.
In addition to their own research and development, various companies have of course also thought about introducing technology from Linji. However, they don’t know what Linji’s plans are for this matter, so they dare not rush to the door for fear that Linji will seize the opportunity to blackmail them.
Now, the company has taken the initiative to let out the news, saying that it is willing to cooperate with various domestic machine tool companies to jointly develop special machine tools for multi-station automobiles. How can everyone not be overjoyed? But this time, most of the people who came to Pujiang to participate in the technical seminar were technical personnel or sales personnel from various companies. They could not make the final decision on corporate cooperation. Therefore, everyone hurriedly called the leaders of their units to inform them of the matter and ask them to Make decisions quickly.
"Mr. Tang, we meet again."
The first one to arrive was Yang Tao, the deputy general manager of Mingxi Danzhang Machine Tool Company. After receiving a call back from the company's technical director, he asked the driver to drive him to Pujiang overnight. It was after two o'clock in the morning when he arrived, so it was naturally inconvenient to go to Tang Zifeng for an interview. After dawn, he heard from his subordinates that Tang Zifeng had gone downstairs for breakfast, so he went straight to the restaurant, brought a dinner plate and made a The scene of an encounter with Tang Zifeng.
"Oh, it's Mr. Yang. When did you come? I didn't see you at Puqi's reception yesterday."
They are both big guys in the machine tool industry. Tang Zifeng and Yang Tao have some contacts, so it is inevitable to exchange pleasantries when they meet.
"I arrived last night. Because I arrived late, I didn't dare to visit for fear of disturbing Mr. Tang's rest."
"Look what Mr. Yang said, you are the big brother. When you get here, I should be the one to visit you."
"I'm just a few years older than Mr. Tang, but in terms of business management skills, Mr. Tang is enough to be my teacher. Isn't it natural for me to come and visit you?"
"Mr. Yang, you're welcome. I am a junior in the industry, and you are my teacher."
"Hahaha, Mr. Tang is too humble."
"Hahaha, Mr. Yang is too polite."
"..."
Everyone had their own ulterior motives, so they took some food in the name of laughter, and found a table to sit down at. Yang Tao's interest was not in breakfast at all. He took two random bites and then pretended to ask casually:
"Mr. Tang, you have got off to a good start by signing the contract with Puqi this time. I heard that at this signing ceremony, many CEOs from domestic car companies came and were interested in the multi-station machine tools. Mr. Tang This trip to Pujiang River is probably going to be a fruitful one, right?"
"Hey, forget about returning home with a full load. I'm seriously overloaded now and I'm worried about the police fined me." Tang Zifeng said with a smile.
"How do you say this?" Yang Tao asked knowingly.
Tang Zifeng said: "Our original idea was to build this production line of Puqi Automobile first, and then develop new business. Who knows, when various car companies saw Puqi Automobile using our products, they all thought it was good. No, they all ask to sign contracts with us and let us provide them with the same machine tools.
"Mr. Yang knows that although we have 20,000 to 30,000 people at the airport, our product lines are very scattered. We will not be able to find so many workers to complete these orders for a while. Yesterday, I talked with Lao Han, the general manager of our sales company. After some discussion, it will take at least ten years to complete the orders from these car companies. This is just the beginning. There are still some car companies waiting and watching, and they might come to our door at some time."
Do you dare to be more Versailles?
Yang Tao gritted his teeth. Damn, this is how Hong Guoguo shows off. There are so many orders that it can’t be completed in ten years, and you, Tang Zifeng, pretend to feel uncomfortable. People who know about it say you are just showing off, and those who don’t know think you are constipated.
Oops, I’m eating right now...
Muttering in his heart, Yang Tao forced a smile on his face and said in the most enthusiastic tone possible:
"Who in the industry doesn't know that Mr. Tang is far-sighted and has laid out multi-station automotive machine tools in advance. Now you are the only one in the country, and there is no other semicolon. If everyone wants to buy domestic automotive machine tools, they can only find you. Mr. Tang, you are now We are worried about not being able to finish the orders, but we are worried about not having any orders. What do you think it would be like if we could all be on the same page with each other?"
"It's not difficult to make it even." Tang Zifeng took over Yang Tao's words, "We only started the product of multi-station automotive machine tools one year earlier than our peers. If you are interested, we can make it It’s good to license the technology to you and do business together.
"After all, we are all machine-20 companies. We have an agreement to cooperate with each other. This agreement has not expired yet."
"Is what Mr. Tang said true?" Yang Tao stared at Tang Zifeng and asked seriously. He and Tang Zifeng had been going around in such a long circle just to wait for this sentence. Now that Tang Zifeng had said this, how could he dare to neglect it.
Tang Zifeng nodded and said: "Automotive machine tools are a huge market, and we, Linji, cannot take it all by ourselves. If we don't invite our brother companies to join us, will it still be left to Someno and the others?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Tang is right. Why should China give up its own machine tool market to the Japanese?" Yang Tao responded repeatedly. As long as Tang Zifeng agrees to share technology, no matter what he says, Yang Tao will firmly agree without saying a word.
"Tanbei Automobile Company in Nishino Province is preparing to launch a diesel engine production line and needs 200 multi-station machine tools. Our boss and I talked about it and hope that we can take over when the opportunity arises. The core parts of the machine tools they need are the same as ours The machine tools provided to Puqi are basically the same, but the external functions are different and need to be redesigned. Our current technical strength is not enough, so..."
When Tang Zifeng said this, he drew a long tone and waited for Yang Tao to answer.
"We can take it." Yang Tao did not disappoint Tang Zifeng and took over the matter directly. "We have not accumulated the core technology part, so we need to provide it to us on the fly. The peripheral part can be taken over with our technical strength. The production aspect is even less of a problem.”
"There is absolutely no problem in providing you with core technology." Tang Zifeng said, "But Mr. Yang, don't mind. In order to master the core technology of multi-station machine tools, we invested a total of 1 billion in it, so..."
Yang Tao knew it well and said quickly: "I understand, we are in business, how can we have the nerve to take Linji's technology for nothing? Mr. Tang, please tell us how much patent fees we need to charge if Linji provides us with core technology. What other conditions are there?”
Tang Zifeng smiled and said: "Mr. Yang is really refreshing. Now that Mr. Yang has reached this point, I won't be polite to Mr. Yang. In fact, our conditions are not many. There are three in total. As long as Mr. Yang feels that he can accept it. Accept it, if you feel that the conditions we offer are not suitable, Mr. Yang can just refuse it directly, don’t worry about my face.”
"What did Mr. Tang say? The conditions put forward by Mr. Tang, let alone three, are thirty or three hundred. They must be very reasonable. How can we not accept them?"
Yang Tao said beautiful words, but also dug a hole for Tang Zifeng. If Tang Zifeng opens his mouth and puts forward any unreasonable conditions, his reputation will be ruined.
