Chapter 1611 Tender Meeting

China's second-generation military vehicle bidding meeting was finally scheduled to be held in the meeting room on the third floor of the BJ Hotel. More than 2 representatives from 3 companies across the country attended the meeting, most of whom were old military companies, and Duan Yun It is the only owner of a private enterprise participating in the bidding.

As a celebrity, Duan Yun has a high degree of exposure and popularity in China, so after he entered the venue with the representative of Poly Company, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and many people even took the initiative to say hello and exchange business cards with him .

This kind of thing was unimaginable in the past. Those who can serve as senior managers of these military enterprises are cadres above the department level. Among them, the leaders of Dongfeng and Jiefang are all deputy ministerial cadres, and their ranks are still quite high. of.

A few years ago, the bosses of private enterprises were not worth mentioning in front of the bosses of these state-owned enterprises. They might not give you a straight look, but Duan Yun is different. He has a great reputation and influence, and he often speaks positively Typical appearances in domestic official media and internal magazines inadvertently inflated his status and made him eligible to sit on an equal footing with the leaders of these state-owned enterprises.

And now, in the eyes of many people, Duan Yun should now be the biggest self-made man in China. It is not an easy thing to have such a large wealth. If he does not have a certain background, he will not be able to keep money. Therefore, even though Duan Yun is not a cadre within the system and does not have any official background, absolutely no one dares to underestimate him.

However, although no one would underestimate Duan Yun, many people were surprised but also disdainful for a private company to participate in the bidding meeting for military products. After all, the water in the military industry is very deep. For an order, in addition to the strength of the company itself, you also need to have other backgrounds and relationships. Otherwise, no matter how good your product is, it is absolutely impossible to win the bid.

In fact, these domestic military companies all have their own factions and backgrounds. Many of the directors of military companies used to be the leaders of an important department, and some of the directors of military companies were finally transferred to which important department to be the leader. , are inextricably linked with each other, and usually do not show the mountains and dews, but at critical times, they can provide powerful assistance. Therefore, to a certain extent, the bidding between enterprises is actually a mutual resource and cooperation. A kind of open and secret struggle of power.

The same is true for Duan Yun. If it wasn’t for Poly’s shareholding in his listed company, he would definitely not be able to enter the bidding fair. Duan Yun is well aware of this. To put it bluntly, he is actually a Participating in the bidding on behalf of Poly Company.

"Do I need to speak later?" After sitting down in the side seat in the second row, Duan Yun turned his head and asked the Poly company representative who came with him.

"Just listen to the leader's speech, you don't need to say anything." A Poly Group executive who came with him said to Duan Yun lightly.

"Okay." Duan Yun nodded lightly.

The reason why Duan Yun asked this question was because in the various government meetings he attended in the past two years, he was asked to speak almost every time, which also gave Duan Yun a natural "protagonist mentality". At the bidding meeting at the top level, Duan Yun can only be regarded as a "junior" with inexperienced ability. He can only listen to other people's speeches and is not qualified to speak.

After everyone is present, the bidding will officially begin.

The meeting lasted for three and a half hours, during which no one dared to leave the conference room. The leaders on the stage spoke one after another, most of which were about plans for the development of the second-generation military vehicles and words of encouragement for related companies. , the audience clock applauded enthusiastically.

Subsequently, the tender for the second generation military vehicle reached the hands of every entrepreneur representative.

After the meeting, Duan Yun participated in a large banquet organized by the logistics department of the People's Liberation Army, entertaining the leaders of various enterprises who came to Beijing to participate in the tender.

And this is the banquet, Duan Yun was warmly greeted by many people, and was invited to sit on the front row of the wine table.

In fact, at the banquet, it is easiest to see a person's social status. In this reception, the person living in the middle is a deputy director of the logistics department of the People's Liberation Army. On the right is the factory director of the Jiefang Automobile Factory. It can be seen that in the procurement of military logistics, Dongfeng and Jiefang have a very high status among all enterprises. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the military vehicles in the army are mainly Sourcing from these two businesses.

FAW Jiefang and Second Automobile Dongfeng are still the largest truck manufacturers in China, and they are also one of the four major automobile groups in China. Among them, FAW Jiefang has 3 employees, while Second Automobile Dongfeng has 5 employees. Said to be the largest state-owned enterprise in Hubei.

In fact, if the family members of employees are counted, these two companies alone support at least 30 million people, and this does not include the subsidiary supporting companies of the two car companies. More than 50 people.

For such enterprises that can greatly affect the local and national economy, the state will naturally attach great importance to them. Therefore, most of the orders in each bidding are owned by these two enterprises. As for other state-owned enterprises, they can only follow behind. Mouth soup.

So after Duan Yun saw the rankings on the wine table, he immediately understood the ranking and status of Chinese auto companies, and Tianyin Group, as a private company that has just been involved in the auto industry, wanted to compete with these two giant military companies. Competing for large orders is an unrealistic thing in itself. Even if the cars developed by Duan Yun are more advanced and more cost-effective, as long as the technology gap between the two parties is not large, the orders will still belong to these two companies in the end.

In this military vehicle bidding, the second-generation military vehicles were divided into 2T0.5T1.5T3.5T and 5T and 7T12-ton basic vehicles, and this time, the 6T and 0.5T light military vehicles have always been selected by BJ The BJ1.5 Jeep was produced by the automobile factory. At that time, the BJ212 Jeep was popular in the streets and alleys. Duan Yunye once bought two second-hand BJ jeeps. In terms of light military vehicles, the BJ Automobile Factory has a great advantage.

Among the basic vehicles of all tonnages, 5T and 7T transport vehicles have the largest demand. The scale of Hebei Automobile and the impact on the national economy and people's livelihood will definitely be divided between these two companies, and Duan Yun has no chance to compete.

As for the 12T heavy-duty trucks, they were originally produced by China National Heavy Duty Truck Corporation, but the technical strength of this company is too weak. The Steyr trucks produced are not reliable and the prices are very expensive. , The leader of the logistics department also pointed out the situation of some trucks currently equipped by the army, pointing out that the reliability of the vehicles produced by China's heavy trucks is not strong enough, and maintenance is also more troublesome.

And Duan Yun in the audience keenly felt the dissatisfaction of the logistics leaders of the army with China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for him...
