Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

In the conference room of Guodian Corporation, Zhu Hongxiang reported the bidding situation to other members of the leadership team.

"I used to think that it would be good if the Taifeng and Taisheng mines could be sold for 1.8 billion, but I didn't expect that they could be sold for more than 20 billion!"

"And there are many good additional conditions! For example, Jizhong Coal Group's synthetic ammonia and urea projects are very good. Our company also has coal chemical business and can cooperate with Jizhong Coal Group."

"The conditions provided by the Coal Import and Export Company are better. Our company imports a lot of high-end power equipment every year, and the foreign exchange quota is simply not enough. Just importing high-end cables from Germany will cost a lot of foreign exchange. quota. If there is help from the coal import and export company, a lot more equipment can be imported."

"I think Yankuang's conditions are better. They directly bid 2.4 billion, which is 2.3 billion more than other companies. I think it is the most affordable to get money. If you have money, you can buy whatever you want. It is more flexible. , and also has more room for operation.”

Everyone was discussing it, and in the end, most people still preferred to take the money directly.

In the end, the company's top leader, Secretary Wang, coughed dryly and said: "In comprehensive comparison, Yankuang directly offered a bidding price of 2.4 billion, which is indeed the highest among all bidding companies. After all, the conditions offered by other companies, It's not worth two or three billion.

But there is another company that has conditions that we need to study and discuss carefully, and that is Dongshan Mining. Dongshan Mining offered RMB 2 billion and was also willing to provide us with an axial flow compressor. "

"Dongshan Mining? Which company is it? I've never heard of it! Could it be a leather company?"

"What is an axial flow compressor? Is it a newly developed electrical equipment from abroad?"

"Is this axial flow compressor very important? Two billion plus this thing, can it be worth Yankuang's 2.4 billion?"

Immediately, several people raised questions.

Zhu Hongxiang on the side quickly explained; "The axial flow compressor is the core component of building a wind tunnel. With this equipment, we can build a wind tunnel of our own."

Secretary Wang also added, "Everyone should know that many of our company's scientific research projects require wind tunnel experiments, especially wind power research and development projects. Without wind tunnel experiments, it will be difficult to proceed.

However, the wind tunnel time allocated to us by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is simply not enough, which has seriously affected the progress of our scientific research. If this continues, it will take years and months to build a new generation of wind turbines.

Wind power research and development is an important task assigned to us by the state and a key project for our scientific and technological research. The company has already followed this project as the first scientific research task.

Completing a new generation of wind power scientific research projects as soon as possible will, at the very least, build wind power stations and bring economic profits to our company; at the most, it will complete the country's energy strategic layout and ensure domestic energy security. This is of great importance. No more nonsense from me.

I won’t hide it from you all. When Mr. Xia heard about this equipment, he immediately blackmailed me. He almost stayed in my office yesterday and insisted that I get this axial flow compressor. You all know Mr. Xia’s temper. He used to dare to go to the Electric Power Department and slap the table with the leader.

Moreover, building a wind tunnel will indeed be of great help to our company's technological research and development process. Wind power research and development does not happen overnight. After completing this research and development, we still need to do next-generation research and development, and we still need to use the wind tunnel.

So after thinking twice, I agreed to Engineer Xia to get this axial flow compressor and build our own wind tunnel laboratory. "

Someone immediately said: "But Dongshan Mining only offered 2 billion, which is a full 400 million less than Yankuang. This is equivalent to us spending 400 million to buy this axial flow compressor!

But is this axial flow compressor worth 400 million? If this thing is not valuable at all, wouldn't our company be losing money? "

"Mr. Zhu, can you explain it to everyone?" Secretary Wang looked at Zhu Hongtao.

Zhu Hongxiang nodded and immediately said, "First of all, I want to explain that Mr. Xia has taken people to inspect this axial flow compressor. There is nothing wrong with the machine. It was produced in the former Soviet Union and is strong and durable. .

Let’s talk about the price issue again. I asked experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find out. In 1995, the California Institute of Technology in the United States, the same university where Mr. Qian was a professor, built a large-scale wind tunnel, which cost almost 50 million US dollars. "

"50 million U.S. dollars, that's more than 400 million yuan!" someone said.

"It cost us 50 million US dollars to build the entire wind tunnel. Ours is just a piece of equipment, so it's definitely not expensive. And the American stuff is definitely expensive, so why don't we give it a discount in China?" Another person said.

"The equipment in the United States is more advanced than that of the Soviet Union, right? As far as I know, most of their experiments are controlled by computers. Just press a few buttons and the experimental results will come out. The Soviet equipment cannot do this, so the Soviet equipment should be Cheaper than American equipment," someone else said.

"Calculating it this way, even if inflation is included, this axial flow compressor produced in the former Soviet Union is not worth 400 million at all!"

Everyone quickly came to this conclusion.

"Then let's let Yankuang win the bid. After all, it's 2.4 billion!"

"But what about scientific research? Without a wind tunnel, the research and development of wind power projects will be affected."

It's not worth spending 400 million to replace an axial flow compressor, but if you don't buy it, scientific research will be affected, and everyone is in a dilemma.

If it were a private enterprise, there would probably be no need to make a choice and it would just be 2.4 billion.

But the State Power Company is a central enterprise, and it is also an enterprise related to people's livelihood. What they care about is not profit, but the protection of people's livelihood needs. To this end, they can sacrifice profits or even lose money.

If you look at the future National Grid, you will know that even the most remote mountainous areas will be connected to electricity. In terms of construction costs, this is definitely a loss, but from the perspective of people's livelihood, it is something that must be done.

If we were in a capitalist country, remote areas would probably be left to fend for themselves. If you want to use electricity, you have to buy a generator yourself.

This is also true. The last electrified village in China was Changjiang Village in Qumalai County, Yscz Zhizhou. The project to electrify every village finally reached there in 2015, allowing the villagers there to use electricity.

At the same time, many Indian reservations in the United States still do not have electricity.

In 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported that more than 10,000 residents of an Indian reservation in Utah are expected to receive electricity in 2017.

The reason why they can have electricity is not because the country is kind enough to build power supply facilities for them, but because a newly developed shale oil field needs electricity nearby. The line passes through this Indian reservation for a relatively short distance. This Indian reservation Local residents also had access to electricity.

For the State Power Corporation, ensuring people's livelihood is the top priority. Completing the research and development of a new generation of wind power equipment and achieving the country's strategic layout for power security is definitely more important than making 400 million.

Everyone was silent for half a minute, and someone said, "Since the wind tunnel is so important to our scientific research project, why don't we buy an axial flow compressor ourselves, why do we have to let the bidding company give it away?

Anyway, if the Americans build a wind tunnel laboratory, it costs 50 million US dollars, which is about 400 million yuan. An axial flow compressor can support the sky for 100 million yuan, right?

If we accept Yankuang’s offer of 2.4 billion, and then use 100 million to buy an axial flow compressor, can’t we earn an additional 300 million! This technology can ensure the company's maximum interests and give an explanation to Mr. Xia. "

Secretary Wang immediately replied: "I have also considered the plan you mentioned. The problem is that we cannot buy high-power axial flow compressors at all."

"Do you need to use a large amount of foreign exchange quota?" the person asked next.

"No, it's because of technical control issues." Secretary Wang continued: "The wind tunnel laboratory was first used in the military. For example, the research and development of aircraft and missiles all require the use of wind tunnel laboratories. So even if we Even if they are willing to pay, foreigners will not sell our axial flow compressors.

It's not like our company can't afford 400 million. If we could buy it directly with money, we would have built the wind tunnel long ago, and we wouldn't have to wait in line at the Chinese Academy of Sciences for the experiment. "

"Then where did Dongshan Mining get its axial flow compressor?" the man asked again.

"That's unknown." The answer this time was Zhu Hongxiang, who continued: "But what is certain is that mechanical equipment such as axial flow compressors are definitely not mass-produced products.

Even if you can buy it for money, if you order it from the manufacturer, you will have to wait a long time for delivery. So if we miss this axial flow compressor, we don’t know how long we have to wait until we encounter the next one. "

Everyone in the conference room fell into silence again. This axial flow compressor is obviously not worth 400 million, but it is something that cannot be bought with money, and there is no such store in this village. This is indeed very strange. Hard to choose.

After a while, someone asked again, "What is the origin of Dongshan Mining? Why haven't you heard of it before? Is it a subsidiary of a large coal company?"

Zhu Hongxiang looked at the information in his hand: "I have also conducted investigations in this regard. Dongshan Mining is a recently established company with a registered capital of 100 million yuan. The nature of the company is a joint-stock company and it is a private enterprise."

"Private enterprises? That is, the kind of wealthy individual bosses who think mining coal will be more profitable, and then they register a leather company. Want to buy a few mines and become coal bosses?"

"But those who can earn two billion are also very wealthy individual bosses!"

"No matter how rich you are, it's still not a handbag company!"

Everyone was talking to each other, and their tone was obviously full of prejudice against Dongshan Mining. In their eyes, Dongshan Mining was probably the kind of self-employed who contracted coal mines, just an upgraded version.

"If it was just a handbag company, it would be easy. Let's go directly to talk to Dongshan Mining and ask them to sell this axial flow compressor to us! Can a handbag company still give us Guodian face? At worst, just give them thousands of millions more as compensation.”

"That makes sense. We still need Yankuang's 2.4 billion, and then use tens of millions from it. How to deal with this leather company? If a leather company can earn tens of millions, it should also be right. We are so grateful!”

This method is supported by most people.

"Since everyone has the same opinion, let's send someone to Dongshan Mining to discuss the purchase of an axial flow compression molding machine." Secretary Wang said and looked at Zhu Zhuhongxiang: "Mr. Zhu, who do you think is more appropriate to send? Woolen cloth?"

Zhu Hongxiang thought for a while and said: "Let Cheng Yu from the Ministry of Justice handle the negotiation. He is originally an electric power engineer. He also studied law by himself and passed the judicial examination. It is better to leave this kind of negotiation to him." Safe.”

"That's fine." Secretary Wang nodded, and then ordered: "Let Cheng Yu come to my office later. I'll give him a few instructions first."

"Weidong, Guodian Company contacted me and said it wanted to talk to us about purchasing an axial flow compressor. We gave it away directly, but they didn't want it. They had to spend money to buy it. What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd?" Zhao Jinshan asked.

Li Weidong pondered for a moment and replied: "Guodian Company is interested in our axial flow compressor, but it thinks that the price of 2 billion we gave is too low.

I guess there must be a large coal company that offers a high price that Guodian Company cannot refuse, but they are reluctant to give up this axial flow compressor, so they simply plan to buy it directly. "

"Then the bidding for the Taifeng Mine and the Taisheng Mine is about to go south, isn't it?" Zhao Jinshan frowned.

"You can't say that. Maybe there is still a chance." Li Weidong said.

"How should I reply to the people from Guodian Company?" Zhao Jinshan asked next.

"Since they want to talk, let's just use the trick and set up a trap for them!" Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then asked: "You haven't given the core of the nuclear reactor to the Nuclear Research Institute yet, have you?"

"No, I have been busy bidding for coal mines since I came back, and I haven't had time to deal with the reactor core yet." Zhao Jinshan said.

Li Weidong nodded: "That's just right. It comes in handy for negotiations. As well as those Belas dump trucks, they were also replaced with new tires and painted with a layer of paint. They were made as good as new and easy to handle. Come to bluff people!”

Negotiators from Guodian Corporation are on their way to the negotiation location.

Sitting in the car, Cheng Yu looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and realized that he had reached the suburbs.

The assistant next to him complained: "A leather bag company is a leather bag company. It doesn't even have a decent office location. When we come to negotiate, we have to go to the warehouse! This warehouse is still in the suburbs, so we have to travel so far."

"It should be to save money! After all, rent in the suburbs is cheap!" The driver continued while driving;

"But it's not too expensive to rent a conference room in a hotel in the city. It doesn't cost a few bucks. I'm not willing to spend the money to rent a conference room. This is really a leather company!"

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "The leather bag company also has the advantages of the leather bag company! The leather bag company is small in scale and has a weak foundation. It can be easily satisfied, and the negotiation will be smoother. Maybe we can just set a price and they will hurry up. Agreed!"

"Let me tell you, when negotiating with a leather bag company like this, you don't even need to do it yourself. We can do it with a knife," the assistant said flatteringly.

Cheng Yu happily accepted the assistant's flattery and said at the same time: "The company sent me here because it obviously attaches great importance to this axial flow compressor, so our trip can only succeed, not fail. We must use the lowest possible cost." Price, get this axial flow compressor.”

As the people were talking, the car had arrived at the negotiation location, which was a large old factory area with a large warehouse and a large yard.

Someone had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw Cheng Yu's car approaching, they immediately went over to greet it.

"Is this Manager Cheng? My surname is Liu, and I am Mr. Zhao's secretary. You can just call me Xiao Liu." The other party introduced himself.

Cheng Yu suddenly felt a little unhappy. He was a negotiator sent by Guodian Company. He was a big financier who spent tens of millions to buy equipment. A leather company in the Dongshan Mining District was not allowed to treat himself as a bodhisattva!

Even if the general manager of Dongshan Mining doesn't come to greet him personally, he must send someone with more weight to greet him, right? Why did they only send a young secretary here? This is so disrespectful of etiquette!

"Probably because this is just a leather goods company, there are not many people at all, so we can only send a secretary to greet him!" Cheng Yu comforted himself in his heart.

The secretary led Cheng Yu into the large courtyard, where dust was flying and the roar of machines could be heard not far away.

Cheng Yu subconsciously turned around and saw several brand-new mining dump trucks driving towards him.

"Manager Cheng, let's get out of the way first so we don't get hit by the car." The secretary quickly asked Cheng Yu aside.

The size of a mining dump truck is much larger than that of an ordinary truck. The large-displacement engine also roars very loudly, which makes people feel insignificant especially when the vehicle passes in front of them.

There is something called macrophobia, which is the fear of seeing very huge things. This is actually an instinct of living things. Most living things will subconsciously feel afraid when they see something much larger than themselves.

Although the mining dump truck does not meet the "giant" standard, such a big thing will still make people feel uneasy when passing by.

When the mining dump truck passed by, Cheng Yu instinctively took a step back, and then looked at the large truck passing in front of him.

"Is this a mining dump truck, or a Belas! This thing is a treasure in the mine!" Cheng Yu thought to himself.

The secretary next to him explained: "We at Dongshan Mining are in the coal mining business. Coal mining requires vehicle transportation, so our company specially imported dozens of Belaz mining dump trucks from Belarus. These are the first The batch arrived just a short time ago, so I just wanted to test the car.”

"You mean, you're going to use Belas's mining dump trucks to pull coal? There are dozens more?" Cheng Yu asked in surprise.

"Look what you said, we even bought a car. Of course we have to use it! We can't just leave it to rust." The secretary replied with a smile.

Cheng Yu suddenly frowned and thought to himself: "What is going on? Nowadays, if you open a leather company to mine coal, you have to be equipped with a mining dump truck from Belas? Our company's own large coal mines are not even needed. Do you want this thing?"

At the end of the 1990s, the first generation of Jiefang had not been completely phased out, and the figure of the old Jiefang could still be seen in many small and medium-sized coal mines and small coal mines contracted by individuals.

The large state-owned mines generally use second-generation Jiefang or Dongfeng trucks. Those with better conditions use third-generation flat-top Jiefang trucks, or heavy-duty trucks from China Heavy Duty Truck, and some are even equipped with imported heavy-duty trucks.

However, there are really very few people who use mining dump trucks. The main reason is that they are too expensive and ordinary coal mining companies cannot afford them. Even products like the Belaz 7547 from the 1980s are still the most high-end coal mining equipment in the country.

However, today, the leather bag company in Cheng Yu's eyes used the most high-end mining dump truck, which instantly made Cheng Yu feel at a loss and gave Cheng Yu a disincentive.

"Didn't you say that Dongshan Mining is a leather company? What kind of leather company is this? How can a leather company use Belas's mining dump truck?" Cheng Yu looked at the back of the Belas dump truck and stood blankly In place.

"Manager Cheng, please come this way." The secretary's voice interrupted Cheng Yu's thoughts.

The secretary led the way and said as he walked, "We, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li, originally planned to come to greet you in person, but a client happened to come and wanted to discuss a big business, so I neglected you. Please forgive me."

"Talk about big business?" Cheng Yu had already stepped out from the shadow of the mining dump truck. He smiled coldly and thought to himself, the axial flow compressor is a big business worth tens of millions, and other businesses can be big. Live this?

So Cheng Yu said with a proud look on his face: "Is there any business that can be bigger than the business between us?"

The secretary hurriedly said: "The negotiation with your company is of course a big deal. But the customer we, Mr. Zhao, are meeting now are also very important. If we succeed in the negotiation and sell that equipment, we can earn at least 500 million!" "

"Equipment worth RMB 500 million?" Cheng Yu curled his lips disdainfully, thinking to himself that you, a small company, want to sell equipment worth RMB 500 million. What a boast!

So Cheng Yu said jokingly, "You really aroused my curiosity. I want to know what the value is at 500 million!"

"The equipment is in that warehouse. If you are interested, I will take you to have a look." The secretary said, pointing to a warehouse, and then led Cheng Yu over.

Several people walked into the warehouse, and the secretary pointed forward: "Even this thing, I don't understand that such a thing is so valuable!"

Cheng Yu took a closer look and his expression suddenly changed.

He had already recognized that what was in front of her was the core of a nuclear power plant reactor!

"This is the core! The core of a nuclear reactor! Did I come to the wrong place? Didn't I say this is a leather company? What kind of leather company is this! How can a leather company have a reactor core!" 13056/9867338
