"Then let's talk." Minister Xu's eyes flashed, and he made up his mind to drive Su Cheng out of the exhibition group.

Su Cheng was very familiar with such a look and was puzzled. He thought to himself: I would have just not come if I had known it. However... since he had already come, he could not leave in shame.

In front of Mr. Fei, the heads of various companies also felt a little passionate. Such an opportunity to show their faces was rare. They all became nervous and silently prepared for their next speech.

After a moment, the director of the Technical Department of the Ministry of Railways stood up and smiled and said, "How about I'll throw bricks and jade for us."

"Just explain the situation in a short, clear and concise way." Minister Xu reminded: "The details that are too specific should be reflected in the reports of each unit."

There are always dozens of business leaders here. If one talks a lot, it would be a whole afternoon.

The director of the Ministry of Railways nodded and said, "There are two projects that our Ministry of Railways prepares for international exhibitions. One is the comprehensive automation marshalling station that Zhengzhou North Station has been put into use. This is a systematic project that can not only reflect the technicality of mechanical equipment, but also reflect the modernization of station management. The second is the JBC-1 type transistor relay protection test bench developed by the hydropower section of the Hangzhou*zhou Railway Branch of the Ministry of Railways. The performance of this test bench exceeds that of the same grade in China. It is a railway equipment that hopes to obtain orders."

Minister Xu commented politely: "The Ministry of Railways has prepared very well."

In 1994, the Ministry of Railways had several times the salary of national civil servants and its power was unusually large. It was a director who could just come up with a random director, but it was no worse than an ordinary deputy minister. On the other hand, there were huge differences between the ministries and commissions of the State Council and state enterprises, even central enterprises. Both members of the ministries and commissions, Minister Xu could not be as casual as he was in charge of the state-owned enterprises in the Ministry of Machinery Industry.

The Ministry of Railways participated in the exhibition this time and was one of the members of the organization, and it was not allowed to let Minister Xu say anything. The director's introduction was because of Lao Zai.

Deputy Director Lu, the head of the group, naturally said nothing, and said: "I am looking forward to the performance of the Ministry of Railways in this exhibition. In my impression, the automated marshalling station of Zheng*zhou North Station is a key project for the 85th research and development. It is very rare to complete it two years ahead of schedule."

The director of the Ministry of Railways smiled relaxedly and said, "We also want to get two orders back. The cost of developing new technologies is very high. If we don't find a way to recover a little, it will be difficult for future development."

It is the basic skill of state-owned enterprise cadres who need money and policies. In every opportunity, state-owned enterprise cadres who need money and policies will most likely fall into a vast number of middle-level positions. Taking advantage of Mr. Fei's presence, the director of the Technology Department took the opportunity to complain.

Deputy Director Lu smiled, as if he felt that the amount of information was enough, so he turned around and asked, "Old Fei, will we continue to talk about the next project?"

"No hurry." Old Fei's spine was straight and his head turned slightly back, and said, "Yin Ping, come and ask."

"Yes." Yin Ping is the deputy director of Fei Office and an aide who often accompany Fei Lao. He has some knowledge of science and technology economy and knows many people in state-owned enterprises.

However, the representative of Mr. Fei's question was a very serious matter. Yin Ping had no smile on his face, which was completely opposite to Mr. Fei's spring breeze blowing on his face. He sat forward, then lowered his head and turned out the documents submitted by the Ministry of Railways earlier, and said: "Since it is a project to participate in an international exhibition, what is the current international level of this technology?"

This question is too direct, which made the director of the Ministry of Railways a little confused. Because the answer is too simple, Japan had a bullet-headed Shinkansen train in 1964. What is the world's global scale in the 1990s? It can only be said that this is a small step for the world, but a big step for China. After all, China has a weak industrial foundation and vast territory. The responsibilities undertaken by the railway are not to seek innovation and goodness at present, but to cover and safety as the main indicators. If you have a little understanding, it is understandable that the Ministry of Railways will use it as an exhibition project.

However, Yin Ping was obviously asking questions from the perspective of reality, not from the perspective of understanding.

Under Fei Lao's gentle gaze, the director of the Ministry of Railways struggled for a moment and replied with difficulty: "Internationally, transistor relay protection test benches are relatively novel. Automated marshalling stations are not new, but for now, there are no more than 10 countries that can independently build it."

"Then do you expect that multiple countries will use the technology of automated marshalling stations to participate in the exhibition?" Yin Ping's speech speed was not slow and his voice was penetrating.

The director of the Ministry of Railways hurriedly said: "There will not be so many companies that use automated marshalling stations to participate in the exhibition..."

"Because they have better skills?" Yin Ping interrupted him without hesitation.

The director of the Ministry of Railways was stunned: What is this? There are also traps to dig?

Yin Ping, who had always looked down at the documents, raised his neck and asked, "Isn't this the case?"

This mean question was neither answered nor answered nor answered. I could only say tactfully: "Automatic marshalling stations are indeed not the latest technology, but there is still a chance to get orders."

Yin Ping said "Oh" and looked at the document again, saying, "So, do you expect the automated marshalling station to make money by participating in the French equipment exhibition?"

"able."

“How much can you earn?”

"This... depends on the price and quantity of the order..."

"Let's talk about the profit ratio."

After thinking about it, the director of the Ministry of Railways said a false number: "The profit is about 10."

"Is there any calculation of human resources expenditure?" Yin Ping is familiar with the disadvantages of state-owned enterprises. When showing profitability, they often ignore labor and other expenses. On the other hand, when wailing costs, they often add artificial costs to extremely high.

The Ministry of Railways cannot avoid the common people, and the director said embarrassedly: "Manpower expenditure is not covered."

Even Minister Xu from the Ministry of Machinery Industry could not help but have the idea of ​​covering his face.

Such a questioning is so embarrassing to face so many state-owned enterprise people.

However, Yin Ping did not make the other party feel relaxed and asked again: "The thing is broken, what about after-sales maintenance? Or should we pay for it?"

When purchasing foreign equipment in China, it often requires one-third of the money to exchange parts, or ask the other party to send someone to warranty. By the mid-1990s, this cost had been considered by agencies at all levels.

However, Chinese people are often cheated by foreign companies, which does not mean that Chinese companies can cheat foreigners in the same way. This is not only a gap in industrial technology levels, but also a difference in judicial procedures and economic environment.

In order to compete with foreign companies to obtain orders, the Ministry of Railways has always used after-sales service as an advantageous project, that is, cost-priced parts costs and almost free maintenance costs.

And in the current context, it will be even more embarrassing to be honest.

The director asked for help and looked at Minister Xu and thought to himself: Didn’t you say it briefly and clearly? Isn’t you say it concisely? Which ear did you hear it briefly?

Minister Xu had thick skin and rough flesh, and pretended not to see it. He and the Ministry of Railways were not subordinate to each other. He was neither willing to offend the other party, nor did he feel unhappy for the other party. No matter what, the latter was more important.

No one helped to speak, and Mr. Fei's eyes were so sharp.

The director of the Ministry of Railways had to answer directly, lower his head and said: "The cost is not calculated after-sales and maintenance costs."

"That is to say, what you earn is actually less than 10?"

"Yes." Until the high-speed rail era, the Ministry of Railways did not have the ability to build railways abroad and then make direct profits. The high-speed rail they built for Saudi Arabia was a famous huge loss project, and the projects to assist in the construction of African countries were purely for politics. In terms of economy and market, both the Ministry of Railways and PetroChina were all the same tricks.

In the international market, no matter which country, the national enterprises in any country have always been the image of a clown. Unlike normal enterprises, their profits are not based on the profits between cost and selling price, but on the subsidies and political resources obtained by acting cute.

The Ministry of Railways has long been proficient in the behavior of making publicity for the lowest price or even losing money. In the minds of leaders, as long as there are enough orders, it is not important whether there is any profit. Compared with the so-called profits paid in the year-end report, the figures of export foreign exchange earnings are obviously more valuable.

Unfortunately, it was told.

In other words, Mr. Fei and the others didn't care about this before, but now they are serious.

However, the state-owned enterprise cadres present could not talk to Mr. Fei or his staff about whether he was serious or not. If Mr. Fei was serious, they would have to be serious. No matter how wronged they were, it would be useless.

A minute of silence seemed so long.

The Ministry of Railways was hit hard, and the heads of other companies were not willing to show their heads. A needle fell into the main hall in an instant.

Mr. Fei didn't speak, but looked at everyone with his eyes, which brought heavy pressure.

Minister Xu had to stand up and call out: "Mr. Fang, tell me about the projects that Wu Chong participated in."

Mr. Fang was sitting behind the door, rubbing his face without any hesitation. Looking at the jokes from the Ministry of Railways, he was called to his name, and his face was so bitter that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it. He couldn't help but curse: What the stepmother raised was really different.

He glanced at Yin Ping's head in a slanted look, Mr. Fang stood up and said as briefly as possible: "We are preparing a CNC 16-meter single-column mobile bench lathe, which has the leading technology in China, and the expected profit is above 50."

"What about the domestic leading technology, what about the international one?" Yin Ping's question was still averagely sharp, as if he was peeled and boned with a knife.

"Internationally, it's probably the mainstream level."

"Is there any?" Yin Ping took out a piece of paper from Wu Chong's folder and placed it on the table. His index finger fell on it, and he accidentally turned around.

"The main part is at the international mainstream level."

"Only the main part has reached the international mainstream level. Are you confident of participating in international exhibitions?"

"Confidence... still has." Mr. Fang looked at Mr. Fei and answered Yin Ping's question. He said it very hard. Their CNC machine tools can only solve the problem of whether there is any problem. At best, they have modified the technology in the early 1980s and integrated some technologies obtained through other channels. In fact, since the reform and opening up, there have been very few state-owned enterprises that can do technology with peace of mind, and there are even fewer equipment enterprises that can do technology with peace of mind.

State-owned enterprises were downward in the mid-1990s, and this was an era of impetuousness for the whole nation... Bank deposit interest above 10, bank loan interest rates above 15, and inflation of 24 were all several times that of what people called the era of large inflation in later generations. In such an environment, few companies can quietly accumulate technology.

If you didn’t know the high value of the oil industry in later generations, if you didn’t know the high threshold of the oil industry in later generations, if you didn’t know the high profits of the oil fields you obtained, it would be difficult for Sucheng to not pick up corn and throw sesame seeds, pick up watermelon and throw corn in this era of gold.

Su Cheng watched coldly. He could understand the confusion and chaos of state-owned enterprises, but he did not sympathize with the person in charge of these enterprises. He had the best policies in China, the most skilled workers in China, the most monopoly market in China, and the financing cost several times lower than that of private enterprises. He could not make a profit. This is definitely not a question of whether he can, but a question of whether he is willing or not.

The heads of these state-owned enterprises are always thinking about personal gains and losses, not corporate gains and losses.

The passion for building the motherland and striving for socialism has passed. The mid-life crisis is not only reflected in these middle-aged and elderly state-owned enterprises, but also in these middle-aged and elderly state-owned enterprises.

After Mr. Fang sat down in dejection, Minister Xu ordered a few more names, but none of them were recognized. The person in charge of the Fourth Airline was even more refuted and the position was unstable.

The atmosphere became more and more tense. Everyone was worried about being called, but they knew they couldn't avoid it. They were both struggling with whether to stretch their heads or shrink their heads. However, Su Cheng was relaxed and tight. He could see that Minister Xu definitely didn't want to be outstanding by himself.

However, every time the dead fellow Taoist had a point of extra, Mr. Fei's face looked a little ugly, and Minister Xu felt a little cold.

The stepmother's child was over, but the cannon fodder was not missing. Minister Xu made a fuss and pointed out his own child, saying, "Mr. Gao, please introduce the project of Shougang."

Gao Gang also expected this and stood up uneasily and said, "What we Shougang has brought out is a high-strength galvanized cold-rolled steel plate with a yield strength of 280. It can be used in automobile production and can significantly improve the life of the car. At present, our galvanized cold-rolled steel plate has been sold to FAW, SAIC and other companies. We hope to expand the sales of steel plates after participating in the exhibition..."

"The yield strength of 280 megapas, such galvanized cold-rolled steel plate can only be regarded as low-strength galvanized steel plates." Yin Ping did not even read the information this time, and pressed his hand on the folder of Shougang, saying: "The production of galvanized cold-rolled steel plates should be profitable now. However, if you want to be recognized or ordered at international exhibitions, the land price must be lower than the prices of Japan, South Korea, Brazil and other countries... Judging from the current situation of Shougang, it is unlikely. Moreover, when participating in international exhibitions, you should focus on high-tech products..."

This is a real obstacle, so Gao Gang simply won't explain it.

Yin Ping did not ask questions, picked up the pen, wrote a few sentences in the notebook in front of him, and then turned his attention to Minister Xu.

Minister Xu had been patrolling the crowd for a long time before he pointed out another name, but the result was that it was the same. Yin Ping, who was as sharp as a knife, cut the other party's technique into several paragraphs, causing the mystery of professional terms to be completely lost, leaving only a bunch of second-rate and third-rate shadows floating.

Equipment manufacturing itself is an industry that requires accumulation and investment. However, what China lacks the most is patience and capital. It is tantamount to finding factors for innovation and technological progress from a bunch of decadent, old-fashioned large state-owned enterprises.

It will not take until 10 years before China's machinery industry will restart and gain a place in the market at more costs.

At that time, they were not chasing the world market, but just hoping to regain lost territory in the domestic market.

Minister Xu called again.

Yin Ping dissects again.

Minister Xu continued to call out.

Yin Ping continued to dissection.

When there were few remaining enterprises, Minister Xu could no longer place any further. These were large state-owned enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Machinery Industry. As the head of the ministries and commissions that had just been split out, Minister Xu could not send them to Tiger Mountain even though he knew there was a tiger in the mountain.

If this was really bitten by Yin Ping, who was eating people and not spitting out bones, those unyielding souls would cause trouble for the new ministries and commissions.

"Minister Xu?" Yin Ping couldn't help but look up and urged him to ask.

Minister Xu made a fuss and said, "Su Cheng, you should speak on behalf of Dahua Industry."

Whether it is public ownership or non-public ownership is not important. What is important is that enterprises under the Ministry of Machinery Industry cannot be wiped out. They are also the capital for Minister Xu to survive.

The leaders of the remaining nearly ten companies couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Mr. Fei seemed to have a spirit, changed the template that he had just heard and said with a false note: "Didn't Dahua Industrial say before that it has developed a marine steel plate? Is this better than Shougang's?"

With this sentence, the director of the Ministry of Railways and Gao Gang of Shougang were filled with tears: No wonder Yin Ping is Mr. Fei’s aide. The two of them are just the same type of people, and they are not the ones who give people face.

Minister Xu did not want Shougang to be hit by a second blow, so he hurriedly said: "Old Fei, Dahua Industrial is an oil company and does not produce steel plates."

"Technology is technology, production is production. Dahua Industry has the Dahua Ship Industry industry and the Dahua Laboratory as a R&D institution. It is feasible to only do technology but not production." Yin Ping helped explain, and he was actually a little curious. Dahua Industry, which just obtained the Azerbaijan oil field, is not famous among the people, but is deafening in the upper layer.

Minister Xu gathered the divine light in his eyes and looked at Su Cheng, hoping that he would "know how to advance and retreat."
Chapter completed!
