Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 565: Tragedy caused by axial flow compressor

Dongshan Mining is such a strange name!

Zhou Xiangyang looked around and found a trace of doubt and confusion in everyone's eyes. Obviously, no one had heard of the name Dongshan Mining.

"Dongshan Mining? Which company is it? I've never heard of it!"

"I haven't heard of it either. Lao Zhou, what about you, do you know about Dongshan Mining?"

Zhou Xiangyang shook his head: "I don't know, this is the first time I've heard of this company."

In fact, Zhou Xiangyang had heard of Dongshan Mining before. When Huang Aihua introduced Li Weidong at the last bidding briefing, he mentioned the name Dongshan Mining to Zhou Xiangyang, but Zhou Xiangyang didn't take it to heart at all.

In Zhou Xiangyang's eyes, there is no need to keep a mere individual coal boss in mind. So when his subordinates mentioned the name of Dongshan Mining, Zhou Xiangyang had no impression.

Those present are all large domestic coal companies, including top coal giants like Yankuang, state-owned enterprises such as Coal Import and Export Corporation, and local princes such as Jizhong Coal Industry Group that dominate a province, even if they are weaker. are all well-known coal companies in their respective provinces.

However, the final winner was a company that no one had ever heard of, which was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

While everyone was asking each other about Dongshan Mine, Li Weidong also let out a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.

This bidding process can be described as full of twists and turns. Li Weidong was victorious because of his luck and even better planning.

A large mine of this level would not fall into Li Weidong's hands. Fortunately, Zhao Jinshan's relationship gave them a chance to participate in the bidding.

And it was pure luck that I happened to get that axial flow compressor. If I didn't have this machine, even if I could participate in the bidding, I would just be studying with the prince in the end.

With this axial flow compressor, a series of layouts and methods were followed, which finally allowed Dongshan Mining to defeat many large companies and successfully win the two large mines of Taifeng and Taisheng.

Huang Aihua was originally wondering which company Dongshan Mining was. When he saw Li Weidong next to him with a smile on his face, he instantly remembered that Dongshan Mining was not Li Weidong's company!

"The winner of the bid turned out to be Li Weidong. This guy is so clever. We Yankuang paid 2.4 billion, but we didn't win the bid. In the end, he won it!"

Huang Aihua took a breath of cold air, and then said with a smile: "Chairman Li, congratulations! Not long after your establishment, Dongshan Mining has won big mines like Taifeng and Taisheng. It can be said to be a great success!"

Huang Aihua's words instantly attracted the attention of those around him.

"Is that man from Dongshan Mining? He looks so young, about thirty years old! Do you know him?"

"I don't know him. He's a new face. I haven't seen him before. He doesn't seem to be in our line of work."

"Mr. Huang from Yankuang just seemed to say that Dongshan Mining has just been established. Could it be that this is a newcomer who has just entered the coal industry?"

"The newcomer can win the two mines of Taifeng and Taisheng, and his strength is no small matter!"

On the other side, Zhou Xiangyang looked at Li Weidong with a dull look on his face. The mocking expression just now had long since disappeared without a trace.

"How is it possible! That individual coal boss won the bid! Am I dreaming!" Zhou Xiangyang's mind went blank.

The people next to them also looked embarrassed. Someone just said that there are so many big companies here, and no individual coal boss can win the bid.

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. The self-employed coal boss who was ridiculed by them before for his incompetence really won the bid!

Fortunately, everyone was embarrassed together. As for the so-called quarrel, no one should blame anyone else, otherwise they would make a fool of themselves.

"It's impossible, isn't it? Is there a mistake? We have so many big companies here, how can it be his turn!" Another person repeated this sentence.

Zhou Xiangyang glared hard at the subordinate who reported the news, as if asking, are you blind? I read it wrong?

The man hurriedly said, "I read it correctly. The bid winning announcement really said Dongshan Mining! Mr. Zhou, if you believe it or not, you can ask others!"

"It is indeed Dongshan Mining." Another person next to him said. He was a clerk from another company.

Zhou Xiangyang also knew that every company sent people to keep an eye on the bulletin board. If the winning bidder was not Dongshan Mining, others would have already given feedback.

"How could this happen? Our Jinshan Coal Industry also paid 2.1 billion, but we didn't win the bid!" Zhou Xiangyang murmured to himself.

However, the words were heard by the person next to him, and the person said, "Our Pingmei Energy Group has invested two billion yuan. I thought it was enough, but I didn't expect that there would be another mountain as high as the mountain!"

"You offered 2 billion, and our Yunzhong Coal Mining Company offered 30 million more than you. However, Lao Zhou offered 2.1 billion but failed to win the bid. My offer of 2 billion to 30 million, That’s psychological balance!” Another person said.

"According to this, Dongshan Mining's bid must be more than 2.1 billion. What do you think it is? Is it more than 2.2 billion?" Someone asked again.

"It must be more than 2.2 billion!" The speaker was Cao Siyuan from the Coal Import and Export Corporation.

Wang Yuequn from Jizhong Coal Industry opposite was slightly surprised, and he immediately asked, "Old Cao, does your Coal Import and Export Corporation quote 2.2 billion?"

"Not only that, we also attached other conditions. If you calculate it all, the price we gave is worth more than 2.2 billion!" Cao Siyuan replied.

"We also put forward additional conditions, but we didn't catch the eyes of Guodian Company!" Wang Yuequn paused, and then said: "I don't know how much Dongshan Mining cost to impress Guodian Company."

"How many resources can a newly established company have? I guess the money given must be relatively large! Maybe 23,400 million." Cao Siyuan said.

At this moment, Huang Aihua from Yankuang said: "Brother Li, our Yankuang quoted 2.4 billion, but we didn't win the Taifeng and Taisheng mines. It seems that your offer is lower than the 2.4 billion." Just a little more?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the figure "2.4 billion". Although everyone knew that Yankuang was wealthy, they didn't expect that they were so willing to spend money and were willing to pay 2.4 billion!

More importantly, 2.4 billion failed to win these two mines, which shows that the price offered by Dongshan Mining is higher.

Li Weidong also understood instantly. No wonder Guodian Company wanted to purchase the axial flow compressor separately. It turned out that Yankuang paid 2.4 billion. With such a high price, he would be tempted.

Just listen to Huang Aihua continue to say: "Brother Li, could you please reveal your quotation? In this way, even if our Yankuang loses, we will lose clearly."

Everyone cast curious glances. Everyone wanted to know how much money Dongshan Mining spent to bid for the Taifeng and Taisheng mines.

Of course, Li Weidong would not disclose Dongshan Mining's quotation. After all, he only paid 2 billion. If these people knew that Dongshan Mining used 2 billion to win the Taifeng and Taisheng mines, they would inevitably feel unbalanced and say It might cause trouble again.

So Li Weidong said: "It's really not convenient for me to disclose the quotation. The main reason is that Dongshan Mining is not my decision alone. We have other shareholders, so I have to take into account the wishes of other shareholders.

Li Weidong prevaricated for a while, then smiled at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, since the bidding results are over, I won't disturb you and leave first."

Li Weidong felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Talking too much would make mistakes. Now that he knew the results of the bidding, it was better to leave quickly.

"I refuse to tell you the price, but you still run so fast. There could be something fishy in it!" Zhou Xiangyang murmured to himself.

"It's possible! Otherwise, how could a mere individual coal boss be able to defeat so many large companies and finally win these two mines?" said the man next to him.

"If he refuses to say anything, we don't know how much money Dongshan Mining has paid!"

"Which of you has acquaintances at the top of Guodian Corporation? Try to find out from Guodian Corporation how much money Dongshan Mining has paid."

Zhou Xiangyang thought for a while and said: "Although I know several senior executives of Guodian Company, they are just acquaintances, not familiar to each other. It may be a bit difficult to inquire about quotations.

But just because we can’t find out, doesn’t mean others can’t find out either! For example, Jizhong Coal Group and Coal Import and Export Corporation have much wider connections than us, not to mention Yankuang!

So we just need to wait. Large companies like them will definitely have their own connections in Dongshan and come to inquire about the news. By then, won’t we know the quotation of Dongshan Mining? "

As Zhou Xiangyang expected, Huang Siyuan from the Coal Import and Export Corporation found a deserted corner and talked to someone on the phone.

"I heard from Yankuang's Huang Aihua that Yankuang paid 2.4 billion. Such a high price could not even beat Taifeng and Taisheng Mining. How much did Dongshan Mining pay for the winning bid? Could it be 20? Five hundred million?

What? Can you say that again? Two billion? How is this possible, you are leaving Yankuang’s 2.4 billion without making any profit, but you want to make Dongshan Mining’s 2 billion? Is it too much money?

Moreover, the 2.2 billion we offered, plus the assistance in import trade, are much more valuable than the 2.2 billion! Did you have any behind-the-scenes deal with Dongshan Mining?

In addition to two billion, there is also an axial flow compressor? What it is? The core equipment of the wind tunnel laboratory? Can’t buy it domestically? Is it possible that this thing is worth 400 million?

Isn’t it worth 400 million! Then why did you let Dongshan Mining win the bid? Is it because it can’t be purchased domestically? What? In order to speed up the research and development progress of wind power projects!

Just for such a crappy compressor, you let the newly established Dongshan Mining Company win the bid? So if I get a machine like this, do we have to win the bid?

Is this true? Okay, let's make a deal! Just wait for me for a week and I will send you this shaft compressor! When the time comes, you have to give me the Taifeng and Taisheng mines! "

There is no airtight wall in the world. In addition to Cao Siyuan of the coal import and export company, people such as Wang Yuequn of Jizhong Coal Group and Huang Aihua of Yankuang also found out that Li Weidong only spent 2 billion yuan, plus 1 yuan. With one axial flow compressor, we won the two large mines of Taifeng and Taisheng.

So they began to think about where to buy axial flow compressors, hoping to win back the victory.

At Jizhong Coal Group, Wang Yuequn was holding the phone. On the other end of the phone was the CEO of one of the top machinery manufacturing companies in the country.

"Lao Luo, we have been cooperating for eight years instead of ten years, right? This time we are going to build a urea project, and we will use your equipment. Based on this, I asked you to get an axial flow... Compressor, why are you pushing back on me?" Wang Yuequn said rather dissatisfied.

"Lao Wang, it's not that I'm pushing back, it's because we really can't make this thing." Lao Luo said helplessly.

"Your technical level is already the best in the country. Even military industry orders are given to you. How can you still not build an axial flow compressor?" Wang Yuequn said with confusion.

"I'm not lying to you, we really can't make it." Lao Luo sighed helplessly, and then said: "Let me tell you the truth, you are not the first person to come to me for an axial flow compressor. of!

Last year, people from the Institute of Aerodynamics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences came and asked us to help build this axial flow compressor. Not only did they come, they also brought us the drawings.

But the requirements for materials and production processes for this thing are too high. Even if we were given the drawings, we couldn’t make it! By the way, this is something that needs to be kept secret, so I will tell you, you must not reveal it, otherwise I will be in trouble. "

Wang Yuequn was slightly stunned. Lao Luo even revealed such a confidential matter to himself. It seemed that they really couldn't make this axial flow compressor.

"If Lao Luo and his colleagues can't make it with their technology, then no domestic company can make it, and they can only import it from abroad."

Wang Yuequn sighed helplessly. When it came to buying imported equipment, Jizhong Coal Group had no advantage.

"The Coal Import and Export Corporation is originally engaged in import and export business. They are very familiar with imported equipment. It seems that Cao Siyuan will take the lead!"

As expected, the Coal Import and Export Corporation is making plans, hoping to import an axial flow compressor from abroad.

"Mr. Cao, this axial flow compressor is really hard to buy. This kind of machinery is not mass-produced, so each one must be specially customized." The subordinate said.

"Specially customized? I also said that the axial flow compressor will be shipped to Guodian within a week! If it is customized now, it will be too late."

Cao Siyuan frowned and continued, "But first let's ask the seller how long it will take to deliver the goods! By the way, which country can make this kind of axial flow compressor?"

The subordinate then reported: "I asked people in our overseas offices to make inquiries, and finally news came from the United States that a company called Lockheed Martin can make axial flow compressors."

"Lockheed Martin? The company names of foreigners are all so long and difficult to pronounce. Unlike ours, which is called Hongqi Factory, Qianjin Factory, etc., it is just a two-character name that is nice to hear and easy to remember." Cao Siyuan said.

"Director Wu from the U.S. office said he would contact Lockheed Martin." The man looked at his watch and then said, "It should be evening in the U.S. now, and we will probably have to wait until tomorrow before any news comes."

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

Cao Siyuan picked up the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Cao Siyuan? What? Say it again? News came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that our company's office in the United States was raided by the CIA?

Suspected of espionage? How can this be! The law-abiding people we sent out have been under political scrutiny for several generations. They only came to the United States to do business. How could they be spies?

Suspected of smuggling sensitive military equipment to a high-end weapons manufacturing company in the United States? We, a coal seller, want to smuggle coal, so why are we smuggling military equipment? The professionalism is not right!

Axial compressor? We want to import one. Build a fighter jet? Can we also build intercontinental missiles? It’s unfair. We are just coal sellers. How can we build aircraft and missiles? "

After a while, Cao Siyuan put down the phone with a sad expression on his face.

The axial flow compressor caused a tragedy.

Before the machine was purchased, the company’s U.S. office set it up first!
