When will I have a long tassel?

Based on Zheng Mingyuan's experience, he certainly knew that Tang Zifeng was putting on a show in front of him.

But Linyiji can think of using such a method to show off, which is much better than many domestic companies. This reflects the consciousness of Linyiji's leadership.

Many companies have regulations regarding after-sales service personnel not to accept meals, including Xichong.

However, no one takes this rule as too important. It is indeed written in the service rules, but if you really accept the other party's invitation, the factory will not punish you. Unless the behavior is too ugly, such as openly asking for property, etc., and the customer comes to complain, the factory will give some punishment to the relevant personnel.

China is an emotional society. Most customers ask the manufacturer's after-sales personnel to come over to repair the equipment, have a meal, give some gifts, etc., which are all very common operations.

After all, such a big factory doesn’t lack money for this meal, right? I've come all this way, and I'm so tired that I'm sweating. Are you sorry?

But once this "meaning" becomes a routine, the after-sales staff will be tricked. If you don't "mean it" or the "meaning" is not in place, the after-sales staff will shame you and make you feel uncomfortable. Customers are anxiously waiting for their equipment to be repaired. Do they really need to offend the after-sales staff over a meal?

This time Zheng Mingyuan asked Zhu Qilin to invite the maintenance personnel of the first machine to dinner, without thinking much at all. In his opinion, having a meal is a very common thing, and it is inevitable for the other party to say a few polite words, but in the end he will definitely "be unable to refuse the hospitality" and come to the banquet half-heartedly and half-heartedly.

When Pan Shikai went to invite Tang Zifeng and his party, he made it clear that Zheng Mingyuan would accompany him. If Rui Jinhua and the others did not come, it would really refute Zheng Mingyuan's face, which was also taboo in the scene.

But Tang Zifeng was able to refute Zheng Mingyuan's face so resolutely, and the purpose was to show Zheng Mingyuan's attitude.

Of course, Zheng Mingyuan couldn't be angry when he said it to this extent, but would only be persuaded by Tang Zifeng, and then look at Lin Yiji in a different light.

Zheng Mingyuan remained silent, but Zhu Qilin saw what he was thinking and quickly came out to smooth things over, saying: "Lin Yiji has a rigorous style, which is really worth learning. Since it is not convenient for Master Rui and Master Ning to come to the banquet, it is really very difficult Sorry, Assistant Tang and Section Chief Han, please take your seats first."

"Xiao Pan, please say hello to the cafeteria and ask them to bring more good dishes to Master Rui and Master Ning. We can't neglect them, understand?" Zheng Mingyuan ordered Pan Shikai.

"Okay, I'll tell the canteen." Pan Shikai promised.

Tang Zifeng smiled and said: "Then I will thank Director Zheng for his concern on behalf of Master Rui and Xiao Ning."

"Yes. You have strict rules, and we can't make exceptions for you. But if you go to the canteen to get more good dishes, doesn't that violate the rules?" Zheng Mingyuan said.

Everyone said polite words to each other and took their seats respectively. Zheng Mingyuan naturally took the main seat, and Tang Zifeng took the guest of honor seat. On the other side of Zheng Mingyuan was the third seat on the table. Zhu Qilin asked Han Weichang to sit down, but Han Weichang firmly refused and pulled Pan Shikai to sit at the bottom. Zhu Qilin said a few polite words and sat in that seat by himself.

A banquet with the director of the factory personally accompanying it will naturally not be of a low standard. All kinds of delicious dishes were served in a flowing manner, and the table was filled.

Pan Shikai opened a bottle of Luzhou Daqu and poured it for everyone. Zheng Mingyuan first picked up the wine glass and toasted the first round of wine, then Tang Zifeng borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and toasted the second round of wine, and then Zhu Qilin stood up to toast. I can't tell you the details.

After drinking for three rounds, Zheng Mingyuan put down his cup and asked Tang Zifeng: "Xiao Tang, tell me, what's going on with Lin Yiji now?"

"The situation is very serious. If we cannot restore the heavy machine tool market, the machine will cease to exist in the future." Tang Zifeng said.

"Are you sure you can restore the heavy machine tool market?" Zheng Mingyuan asked again.

Tang Zifeng said: "Director Zhou and I have no retreat. We must make it happen whether we are sure or not."

"..."

Zheng Mingyuan was speechless. This young man spoke quite directly. As usual, he would have to talk about some big truths, such as the honor and disgrace of the company, the rise and fall of the country, etc. However, he explained this matter as a matter of Zhou Heng and his own future. If such words were spread to higher-level leaders, it would be regarded as an ideological problem, right?

But it was this answer that made Zheng Mingyuan gain a lot more confidence in Linyiji.

Enterprises belong to the state. Whether the enterprise is doing well or not has some relationship with the factory leaders, but it is only a relationship. In recent years, state-owned enterprises have suffered large losses, and many companies have even gone bankrupt. However, factory leaders can still be leaders in other places and their levels remain the same, so everyone does not pay too much attention to things in the company.

Of course, normal management is required, but if it is too troublesome or offends others, the company leaders may slack off. Life is short, why bother yourself so much?

Zheng Mingyuan considers himself to be a enterprising factory leader, and he is quite concerned about the rise and fall of Xizhong. But when it comes to some major decisions, he will inevitably have to look at the attitudes of other factory leaders and will not easily offend his colleagues for the sake of the interests of the factory.

For example, when it comes to purchasing heavy boring machines, most people tend to buy foreign ones, while a few people think it's good to buy domestic ones, but the latter won't strongly oppose the former's opinion. In the final analysis, it still has nothing to do with them.

Tang Zifeng said it very straightforwardly when he said that neither Zhou Heng nor himself had any way out.

Zheng Mingyuan also heard about the process of how the Second Bureau sent Zhou Heng to visit the First Machine. Zhou Heng has been the director of the department for more than ten years. He is conscientious and has a good impression on the department leaders. This time I went to Linyiji to be the director of the factory. If I did a good job, it would naturally be even better, and the level problem would be solved.

But if he fails and fails to improve at the first opportunity, his good reputation will be affected, and he may not even be able to get the salary of a deputy director when he retires.

If it had been anyone else, he probably wouldn't have been in this mess. Nowadays, the national machine tool market is generally in a downturn, with losses reaching more than 80%. Linyi Machinery was replaced by a general leader when the leadership was collectively dismissed. It is very difficult to regain its glory. Zhou Heng could have stayed in the ministry to gain seniority and wait for retirement, but taking on such a thing would simply be a waste.

But Zhou Heng accepted the appointment without hesitation, which in itself reflected his determination. Now that he has reached a point where there is no way out, it is inevitable to take some drastic measures. This also explains why we launched such a shocking after-sales service policy at the first opportunity.

Next, Tang Zifeng gave an introduction to Zheng Mingyuan and others about Zhou Heng's actions after taking office. Hearing that Zhou Heng sold his Mercedes-Benz when he took office and used the proceeds from the sale to reimburse the medical expenses of retired employees, Zheng Mingyuan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, saying that Zhou Heng is indeed a treasure that never grows old. With such a spirit, there is hope for a turnaround.

"Director Zheng, since Xizhong originally planned to order this heavy boring machine from Linyi Machinery, it shows that Xizhong still has confidence in Linyi Machinery's technology. Our heavy boring machines are more than 1/3 cheaper than imported heavy boring machines. And it promises a good after-sales service policy, can Xizhong reconsider us?" Tang Zifeng asked Zheng Mingyuan after introducing the situation of Linyiji.

Zheng Mingyuan shook his head and said: "Xiao Tang, your Factory Director Zhou and I have been old friends for many years. Director Zhou is in trouble now, and it is my duty to lend a hand. But after all, purchasing a heavy boring machine It’s a big deal. I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to convince other factory leaders just based on price and after-sales service.”

"What else do we need to do? We also ask Director Zheng for advice." Tang Zifeng said.

Zheng Mingyuan said: "The reason why we want to purchase foreign machine tools is nothing more than two points. First, the performance of foreign machine tools is better; second, the quality of foreign machine tools is guaranteed. If you can convince me on these two points , I will explain it to the factory affairs committee."

Tang Zifeng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In terms of quality, no guarantee I can make now will count. I can only let the facts speak for themselves. However, we can sign a quality assurance agreement with Xi Zhong, similar to that of sellers of home appliances. The company's 'one-year replacement, three-year warranty' and the like, if there is a quality failure, we not only promise to repair it quickly, but also make some compensation to Xizhong, what do Director Zheng think?"

Zheng Mingyuan nodded: "If that's the case, we can accept it. To be honest, some of the domestic equipment we bought broke down and they didn't even apologize. This is one of the reasons why we are unwilling to use domestic equipment."

"As for performance..." Tang Zifeng continued what he just said. At this point, he turned to look at Han Weichang and said, "Old Han, what do you think we can do?"

Han Weichang thought for a while and said: "This is easy to handle. What are the performance indicators of the heavy boring machines that Xizhong is going to import from abroad? Please ask the director to make a list for us, and we will design according to these indicators. etc. When the design drawings come out, please ask Xizhong's comrades to review them. If we feel that our design can meet Xizhong's requirements, we will formally sign the contract. If there is any part that we are not satisfied with, we can make modifications on this basis until Xizhong is satisfied. .Assistant Tang, do you think this is okay?"

Tang Zifeng took over the conversation and said to Zheng Mingyuan: "Director Zheng, what Han Gong said just now is our commitment. If Xizhong has any requirements, you can put them forward to us, and we will design according to Xizhong's requirements. If we If we cannot meet these requirements of Xizhong, of course we will not dare to get involved in this heavy boring machine.”

"How long does it take you to design a heavy boring machine?" Zheng Mingyuan asked.

Tang Zifeng still couldn't answer this question. Han Weichang gritted his teeth and said, "Three months...well, this is just my estimate. For the specific time, we have to ask our Chief Engineer Qin for instructions."
