Chapter 597 This is just a blower
Chinese workers are installing cooling equipment for excavators, while Indian workers are watching from afar.
Indian workers are not allowed to approach during the installation process.
In fact, the installation of cooling equipment is not complicated, just add a blower, how difficult can it be?
The reason why Li Weidong did this was that he didn't want to expose it prematurely. The so-called cooling device was just a cheap blower.
Of course, this kind of thing can’t be hidden for too long. Sooner or later, the Indians will see through it, but it can be delayed for a day. After the blowers are installed, Fukang Engineering will pat their ass and leave. Even if the Indians see through that it is a blower, It doesn't matter either.
And these Indians were obedient, and they would not be allowed to approach them. They really stayed far away and did not approach them. They had no intention of inquiring about intelligence at all.
Maybe they think that if they learn how to install, then this kind of work will fall on their own heads in the future! To do this kind of thing, you can still escape if you can, push if you can, and be lazy if you can.
Although Indian workers can only wait and see from a distance, the talking point is still indispensable.
This radiator looks very high-tech, as expected of a Japanese product. One of them said.
This person obviously regarded the Chinese workers as Japanese workers, and the radiator was naturally regarded as a Japanese product.
You said what structure is inside this radiator? A young guy asked.
It doesn't matter what structure it is, it has nothing to do with us anyway! said the person next to it.
How can you say it doesn't matter? If we figure out the structure of this radiator, we can also produce this radiator ourselves! The young guy said.
That's what an engineer should do, Rancher, you're just a repairman, why are you thinking about the work of an engineer! Another person said.
The young guy went on to say; We figured out the structure of the radiator, and it will be more convenient for maintenance in the future.
Then let's talk about it when it's repaired! Maybe the structure inside is too complicated, and a lot of precision parts are used, so we can't repair it at all! At that time, we have to invite the Japanese to come over for repairs. The person next to it Said very carelessly.
Seeing the indifference of his colleagues, the young man could only sigh helplessly.
The young man's name is Rancher, and he is a mechanical repairman. Unlike other repairmen, Rancher is a repairman with a thirst for knowledge.
Other repairmen simply repair machines, but Lan Che is more interested in mechanical structures. He always explores mechanical principles, dreaming that he can invent a great product one day.
If you can't be whimsical, then you can be regarded as a normal Indian!
Compared with other Indians, Rancho is quite normal, he just wants to make some inventions and creations, while most of the others are dreaming of a pie in the sky and going out to pick up a hundred million.
As a maintenance worker with a thirst for knowledge, Lancher was deeply attracted by the sci-fi appearance of the radiator when he first saw it. He wanted to find out what was inside the radiator, which was like an alien tool. What kind of mechanical structure does the thing have?
In the end, curiosity overcame reason. In the middle of the night, Rancher took tools and sneaked into the warehouse where the excavator was parked. He wanted to disassemble the radiator and find out what was inside.
With excitement, Lan Che took apart the outer shell of the radiator, and the structure of the blower inside immediately came into Lan Che's eyes.
This mechanical structure looks so much like a blower! Rancher picked up the flashlight, pointed the light source at the inside of the radiator, and observed it carefully.
It's just a blower, just with a nice casing!
Lan Che was immediately disappointed. He thought there would be some black technology inside, but he didn't expect it to be just a blower!
Every month, the customs will conduct statistics on the import and export of various products,
Then the statistical results are reported to the relevant departments.
At that time, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation was still in charge of foreign trade, also known as the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. In 2003, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation was abolished, and the country's foreign trade was replaced by the Ministry of Commerce.
There are 19 departments under the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, among which the Department of Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products is responsible for the export and export of various mechanical and electronic products. Zhou Ganjie, who led the team to Dubai to participate in the exhibition, is the leader in charge of this business.
At this time, Zhou Ganjie was holding a report and carefully checking the detailed list of import and export of machinery and equipment last month.
The list is not very complete. After all, China’s industrial capacity was relatively average at that time, and its technology was relatively backward. There were a lot of things like clothes and shoes for export, but there were not many exports of mechanical products.
Soon, Zhou Ganjie saw a product called Multifunctional Automatic Radiator for Construction Machinery.
What kind of product is this? I haven't heard of it before! It costs $500 a piece, and it's sold a lot!
Thinking of this, Zhou Ganjie picked up the phone and asked someone to find out what this multifunctional automatic radiator for construction machinery was.
Not long after, the staff brought over the filing materials from the customs. There are pictures of multifunctional automatic radiators for construction machinery on it, and there are also information such as model, volume, weight and so on.
When Zhou Ganjie saw the picture, he immediately showed a surprised expression. The things on the picture looked like alien products, and they were too sci-fi.
Is this really something that domestic companies can make? Just looking at the appearance, it is definitely full of technology! Such a small toy can cost 500 dollars, it must be a high-tech product! The export of high-tech mechanical products , you have to publicize it well, or it will be wasted!
Thinking of this, Zhou Ganjie picked up the phone and dialed a number: Hey, let the people from the publicity department come over!
A report entitled my country's self-developed high-end mechanical products are sold overseas appeared in the newspaper, which was published by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.
Looking at this title, Li Weidong looked dumbfounded. Looking at the content again, he was talking about the export of multifunctional automatic radiators for construction machinery developed by Fukang Engineering to overseas, filling the gap for the export of domestic high-end machinery products, etc.
Why didn't you say hello to me before bragging! These are so good, those who don't know think that I really exported some high-end mechanical equipment! Li Weidong murmured in his heart.
At this moment, Li Weidong's cell phone rang suddenly, and it was Zhou Ganjie's call. After some pleasantries, Zhou Ganjie chatted about the radiator outlet.
Chairman Li, you have quietly produced a high-tech product, and you have successfully exported it to earn foreign exchange. Why don't you say it in advance. High-end machinery exports are hard to come by. Our Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation also A lot of publicity. Zhou Ganjie said.
Director Zhou, you misunderstood, it's not that we don't want to publicize, but we are really embarrassed to publicize! Li Weidong replied.
Export earning foreign exchange is a good thing, so why not be ashamed! Zhou Ganjie paused, and then said: Although it is sold to India, not to developed countries in Europe and the United States, it still earns US dollars anyway!
Zhou Ganjie also thought that Li Weidong was embarrassed to promote because the products were sold to third world countries instead of developed countries.
Li Weidong had no choice but to explain: Director Zhou, this radiator is actually not a high-end device.
I read the product introduction. Didn't it mean that this is a multi-functional automatic radiator for construction machinery? I also checked specifically, and there is no similar product at home and abroad. Zhou Ganjie said.
That's just a publicity, it's a bluff, don't take it seriously. Li Weidong sighed helplessly, and then said: Let me tell you the truth, this so-called multi-functional automatic radiator is actually a blower!
Blower? Is it a new type of blower? Have you conducted special high-tech research and development for blowers? Zhou Ganjie asked.
It's just an ordinary blower! Li Weidong had no choice but to explain: The construction machinery we sell to Indians often breaks down, mainly because the climate in India is relatively hot, and the machines are easily affected by high temperatures.
So we decided to add a blower outside to increase the flow of air to cool down. It's just that the blower is not worth a lot of money, and it can't be sold alone.
I also want to make more money, so I asked the designer to make a sci-fi shell, put it on the outside of the blower, it looks more like a high-tech product, and when it is advertised, it becomes a high-tech product. product.
Zhou Ganjie was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly asked: You mean, this radiator is just an ordinary blower with a beautiful casing?
Isn't it just an ordinary blower with a nice casing! Li Weidong admitted.
I saw your customs declaration price, you can sell this radiator for 500 dollars! Zhou Ganjie continued.
It's 500 US dollars. We designed this beautiful shell with great difficulty, isn't it just to sell more money. Li Weidong said with a smile.
This is just an ordinary blower. How dare you sell it for 500 dollars! Let alone 500 dollars, it is 500 yuan, oh no, even 50 yuan, I will not buy this thing! You add a The shell will sell for 500 US dollars, isn't this a scam! Zhou Ganjie said in surprise.
Zhou Ganjie has been engaged in foreign trade for some years. He has seen many cases of deceiving people, but he has never seen such ruthless deception.
Li Weidong explained: Indians prefer flashy things. They obviously have no skills, but they want to recharge. I also took advantage of this and added a high-tech package to the blower. Indians It was a great success, so I took the bait.
Then what should the Indians do if they find out? Zhou Ganjie then asked.
If you find it, you will find it. Anyway, the money has already been earned. The business reputation of Indians is not very good. I do business with Indians, and I don't plan to come and go often. I originally went for a one-shot deal. .Since it’s a one-shot deal, it’s natural to make as much money as possible.”
Li Weidong paused, and then continued; Actually, I also know that this is not the right way to do business. If the client is not Indian, I would not use this kind of cheating method if I change to a long-term client. Even if the Indians are unlucky this time, spend money to buy a lesson!
Zhou Ganjie hesitated for a moment, but didn't know what to say. From a moral point of view, this kind of cheating method is indeed undesirable. At a small scale, it is making money against conscience, and at a large scale, it is detrimental to the country's commercial image.
However, such tricks are a routine operation in international procurement. When foreign companies sell equipment to China, they often use the same method. Some simple equipment can be sold at a high price after changing the packaging. It is clear that you have no technology and must buy my products.
The only blame is that there is no technology, and it can only be controlled by others.
Therefore, it cannot be said that Li Weidong was wrong in using this method to make money.
What's more, this transaction did bring foreign exchange to the country, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation was also a beneficiary. Zhou Ganjie couldn't pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold his mother!
Zhou Ganjie thought about it for a while, and felt that cheating people is not a glorious thing after all, so he said: Then I will not promote this matter here, try to deal with it as low-key as possible!
I'm afraid it's too late now, other colleagues already know about this matter, maybe someone will come to learn from it soon! Li Weidong said with a smile.
Zhou Ganjie changed his voice and asked, Chairman Li, I have another question. Do you think Indians are really stupid? They don't check it out before importing such a big deal. If you look carefully, you will definitely find that they spent a high price of $500 and only bought a few hair dryers.
In fact, Indians don't care what they are buying. What they care about is that there is this order. As long as this purchase can be achieved, let alone a blower, even an old hen, they will buy it.
Li Weidong lowered his voice, and reminded him: Don't look at the quotation I gave to the Indians as high as 500 US dollars, maybe the quotations from Indian buyers to domestic buyers will be doubled directly!
Double? Spend $1,000 on a blower? Unless you're crazy! Zhou Ganjie said.
It's not that the difference in price was made by the buyer. For things like procurement, it's important to pay attention to one's hand! The party that applies for the purchase, the party that approves the purchase, the party that pays the funds, and even the party that audits, all have to be involved. Do you want to kick it? Li Weidong said with a smile.
No way? Just take a 10-20% kickback, and double the money directly. Isn't that too much? Indians dare to be so corrupt? Aren't they afraid of things going wrong? Zhou Ganjie asked subconsciously.
Zhou Ganjie seldom deals with Indians, so he probably doesn't understand Indian urine.
Li Weidong said: The system is different from ours. In our country, if someone dares to do this, even if they are not pulled out and shot, they will have to be sentenced to life.
In foreign countries, as long as they find a way to turn money into legal income, it will be difficult to hold them accountable. The big deal for the relevant personnel is to resign and step down. Those who are thicker-skinned don't even need to resign, and they can pass the test smoothly with an apology.
The Western system is like this. Since it is elected by one person, one vote, there is no need to take responsibility for things that are contrived. It can only be regarded as the voters electing the wrong person, and let the whole people bear their personal mistakes!
That's true. After all, India is a developing country. The people are relatively poor, so corruption is prone to occur. It's not as clean as developed countries. Zhou Ganjie said.
Li Weidong said: Director Zhou, don't make too good a picture of the rich countries in the West. When our country trades more with the West in the future, you will find that the so-called transparency and incorruptibility in the West are actually double-sided. Bidding! Especially when it comes to procurement, even in the United States, it is inevitable that some people will profit from it!
America? This is unlikely, right? Even if there is such a phenomenon, it is estimated to be very rare. Zhou Ganjie responded immediately.
Li Weidong just chuckled and didn't refute.
At that time, the Internet was not popular, and the United States was still a lighthouse country in the hearts of people all over the world. In the hearts of many people, the moon there was rounder, the air was sweeter, the food was more delicious, and gold was everywhere. It is said that if you dare to speak ill of the United States, you will definitely attract ridicule from the people around you.
But the real situation is that the procurement in the United States is not clean.
For example, the U.S. Air Force in later generations used to purchase coffee cups at a unit price of 1,280 U.S. dollars. After this matter was audited by the U.S. military, it was finally ignored.
$1,280 to buy a coffee mug, no wonder the U.S. military is changing ways to ask Congress for money!
