Chapter 481 We Should Seriously Consider It
"This Tang Zifeng, is he too lenient? Who does he think he is? Could it be that he thinks he is the former director of the Second Bureau?"
At the office meeting of Danzhang Machine Tool Company, after listening to Yang Tao introduce the conditions offered by Tang Zifeng, all the company leaders were furious. Cui Yongchao, the company's deputy general manager, who is known for his bad temper, directly scolded him.
In fact, he didn't have much opinion against Tang Zifeng, but when it came to matters between the two companies, everyone had to stand on the side of his own company. It was also politically correct to scold the other party's boss.
"Yes, Xiao Yang, I think this Tang Zifeng is too self-righteous. They are willing to transfer a few technologies and just charge a licensing fee. Why should they interfere with our development strategy? Is it possible that they think they have a large scale of opportunity? Are you able to point fingers at our plans?" Chief Accountant Cao Lijuan agreed with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Yang Tao smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Cao, when Tang Zifeng told me this, he didn't say that we must comply with it. He said it very politely, saying that he wanted to take this opportunity to promote the relationship between various enterprises. Cooperation."
"Cooperation is fine. They want us to put their long tassel logo on the machine tool, and we agree. But when it comes to breaking through one or two core technologies and reaching the world's first-class level, is this a requirement for us? We Does it matter whether they have world-class technology or not?" Cao Lijuan said.
"That's right!" Cui Yongchao said, "We are well-known in the industry for being willing to spend money on research and development when opportunities arise. Our Danji is not as willing to spend money as they are, but we don't just eat and drink all day long and wait to die, right? Old Liao, The achievements our Danji has made in the past few years have also won several national innovation awards. What qualifications do they have to make irresponsible remarks on us?"
The person Cui Yongchao singled out was Liao Pengxiang, Danzhang's chief engineer. He shook his head and said: "Old Cui, to be honest, the results our Danji has achieved in the past few years are really incomparable to Linji. We are just thinking In order to fill our own gaps, the technologies developed on the spur of the moment can fill the domestic gaps.
“The year before last, the Science and Technology Commission launched a spare tire plan, and Linyi Machinery and Tengji Machinery under Linji Machinery were the most productive. I heard that they have developed more than a dozen machine tools, all of which have reached the level of imported equipment, but they are still kept secret. In comparison, we missed quite a lot of classes."
"This..." Cui Yongchao was speechless. Cui Yongchao also knows something about the situation Liao Pengxiang mentioned. Linji's two large companies, namely Linyiji and Tengji in the past, are at the same level as Danzhang Machine Tool Factory. They were established at about the same time. They are both "Eighteen Arhats" series under the old Machinery Department.
Based on the same foundation, Linji is ahead in technology research and development, and has surpassed Danji in more than one street. Cui Yongchao originally meant that Dan Ji did not pursue these false reputations, but after thinking about it, it seems that Dan Ji did not account for much in terms of benefits. Thanks to its technological leadership, Linji has received many large orders. Its profit level is also far ahead in the industry. The employee dormitories built in the company are also much more beautiful than Danji. It can be said that Danji cannot be compared in any aspect. Compared with temporary.
"Tang Zifeng is a talent." General Manager Chen Junyu said, "Linji's business philosophy in recent years is very clear, that is, giving priority to technology and using technology to drive business. Like this time, they invested 500 million in multi-station machine tools. , it’s a gamble. But they won the bet. This order from Puqi alone can bring them at least 200 million in profits. If they receive the same order again, all the original R&D investment will be recovered. , and the next step is net profit.
"We Danji also considered building a multi-station machine tool, but when we thought about investing in it, we were scared back. Looking back now, I think it was me who was the leader who lacked courage. If I could have made up my mind at that time. , you don’t have to invest 500 million, even if you invest 2 to 300 million, you can at least get a bite of meat now, right?”
"Mr. Chen, what you said..." Yang Tao hurriedly smoothed things over for Chen Junyu and said: "This matter also passed the group office meeting at that time, and none of us dared to make this decision. As you just said, this is the case when the opportunity arises. Doing it is also a gamble. If the gamble wins, there is nothing to say. What if they lose the gamble, how will they explain it to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission?"
Cui Yongchao said: "I think it is Tang Zifeng who wants to achieve political results so much that he dares to gamble with the company's money. If he wins the bet, it is his credit. If he loses the bet, the company will also suffer losses. He has found someone to take responsibility. That's it.
"By the way, I heard that their executive vice president Zhang Jianyang is Tang Zifeng's die-hard henchman. When Tang Zifeng asks him to come out to carry out the thunder, I guess he won't refuse."
Chen Junyu waved his hand and said: "Old Cui, let's not comment on the rights and wrongs of other companies. Tang Zifeng is still capable. Although many of his decisions involve gambling, he wins every time. Well, this cannot help but be convincing.”
"Whether he wins the bet or loses the bet, he can do whatever he wants in the one-third of an acre of land at the opportunity, but don't worry about us." Cao Lijuan said still angrily.
"I also talked about this matter with the leaders of several other companies when I was in Pujiang. I heard Mr. Chen from Yiyang said that the superiors seemed to intend to transfer Tang Zifeng to serve in the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Tang Zifeng is doing this now. Are you already entering the role of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission in advance?" Yang Tao revealed a shocking news to everyone.
"Tang Zifeng is going to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. What position will he take?" Cao Lijuan asked curiously.
"Should it be promoted to a level?" Yang Tao said.
"If you get promoted, wouldn't it mean you have to be the deputy director?" Cao Lijuan said in surprise.
Tang Zifeng's current position is the general manager of Linji Group. If he is transferred to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission on a horizontal basis, his position should be the director of a certain department. However, if he was just to be a director, then Tang Zifeng would probably not go there. How can a director in a ministry be as good as the top leader in a large state-owned enterprise?
According to this logic, if Tang Zifeng really wants to go to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, he will definitely be promoted, and the position he will be promoted to is the deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
"No way, is Tang Zifeng 40 years old this year? Isn't it incredible to be the deputy director at this age?" Someone began to question.
Chen Junyu said: "I have also heard people say what Yang Tao said. Mr. Xu has always been very optimistic about Tang Zifeng, and it is said that he also recommended Tang Zifeng to his superiors. However, Tang Zifeng's age is indeed a flaw. He seems to be only 36 this year. Years old, becoming a deputy director at this age does not comply with the cadre appointment regulations, so it is impossible."
"In other words, if Tang Zifeng were a little older, he wouldn't be able to retain the position of deputy director?" Cui Yongchao heard another meaning.
Chen Junyu nodded slightly and said: "Although he has not yet become the deputy director, as Yang Tao said, he has already entered the role in advance. He proposed to us that he hopes that each company will divide the work and each will achieve one or two breakthroughs. Core technology, this should be the meaning of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but it was just said through his mouth."
"So, do we listen?" Cui Yongchao asked.
Chen Junyu said: "I thought about it and felt that Tang Zifeng's suggestion was quite good. Some time ago, leading comrades proposed a concept that China should build some 'killer' technologies so that when facing international competition, it would not be completely at a disadvantage. The position of being passively beaten, but with some ability to fight back.
"What Tang Zifeng said should be in response to the formulation of the leading comrades. The trump card in the military industry refers to various cutting-edge weapons and equipment. The trump card in our machine tool industry is machine tools that have independent intellectual property rights and have reached the world's leading level.
"With such a trump card, once we encounter foreign sanctions, we can also use our technology to sanction others, forming a pattern of mutual restraint and forcing the other party to lift sanctions."
"Mr. Chen, does the Western sanctions have a bit of a Cold War mentality?" Cao Lijuan reminded.
Chen Junyu smiled faintly and said: "Sister Cao, I have been to the capital for several meetings recently and heard a view that the Cold War has never ended. In the past few years, the United States was entangled in the war on terrorism and could not care about peace. By making a name for ourselves, we have gained a period of strategic opportunity. Now the U.S. war on terrorism is basically coming to an end, and China's development achievements are too dazzling, so it is only a matter of time before the U.S. attacks China, and this time will not be too long. Far."
"Is there still such a statement?" Cui Yongchao clicked his tongue, "Mr. Chen, I never thought that a small machine tool factory like ours would be involved in Sino-US relations. Listening to what you just said, could it be that Tang Zifeng accepted the request from his superiors? The leader’s instructions to discuss cooperation with us? As a business leader, he shouldn’t expect so much, right?”
"It's hard to say." Chen Junyu said, "We have no way of knowing who else is behind Tang Zifeng. However, I think we should seriously consider this suggestion made by Tang Zifeng. Even if we don't consider international relations. If we have one or two technologies that reach the world's first-class level, at least when we encounter cooperation opportunities like this one again, we will have the capital to negotiate with the other party, and we will not be pinched by others."
Liao Pengxiang interjected: "Mr. Chen is right. We also have this strength now. If we work hard and come up with several excellent technologies, we should be confident. If we really have some excellent technologies, we can use them to compete with others." Make exchanges on the fly without looking at their faces.”
"Ha, if you want to develop excellent technology, then it is all the work of your technical department. Can you, Lao Liao, handle it?" Cui Yongchao said with a smile.
Liao Pengxiang patted his thin chest and said: "This is no problem at all. To be honest, the young and middle-aged engineers in our technical department have long been holding back their energy and want to do a few exciting technologies."
