Chapter 884 Life-saving friendship

The 2000 million check was personally lent by Zhang Qihang to Comrade Lao Tan.

Speaking of which, this incident is still a good story.

In the middle of last year, when Comrade Lao Tan took over Weichai, the Weichai factory with more than 18000 cadres and workers had already owed workers 6 months' wages, water, electricity, and pension insurance for more than a year. The funds are only 8 yuan, the domestic and foreign debts are as high as 3 million yuan, and the debt ratio is as high as 98%. The huge Weichai factory is in the stage of being cut off from water, electricity, and raw materials. The management of the entire factory is almost in a state of collapse. Distraught and on the verge of bankruptcy.

Comrade Lao Tan, who was ordered in a critical situation, suffered a rainy night. He took office on June 6. He was originally scheduled to hold a meeting of thousands of people and deliver an inaugural speech on June 19. However, before the meeting of thousands of people was held, God gave him a Dismounting Mawei: In the early morning of June 6, a major production line of Weichai Plant, the KW casting line, was destroyed by another fire.

As soon as the news came out, the despair of the employees in the whole factory reached the peak: This is the God who wants to kill us Weichai.

People who are not superstitious even deciphered the cause of the fire from Tan Xuguang's name: Xuguang?Doesn't Xuguang mean nine days of light?So, this fully shows that Comrade Tan is not suitable to be the leader of our Weichai factory.

It was under such panic that at 10:15 in the morning, Comrade Lao Tan calmly stepped onto the podium and delivered that famous speech in front of all the cadres and workers of the factory. In the speech, he publicly promised: within [-] days, two Monthly wages; starting today, no wages will be owed; the company will turn losses into profits within one year.

Even when the people below booed and said that the fire was caused by the word "Xuguang" in his name, Comrade Tan immediately saved the day, saying: "I just thought that there was 'Nine Days of Light' in my name." It means that what can be burned is Weichai's bad luck for many years, it seems that this fire is well lit, which indicates that our Weichai factory will have a prosperous future."

The words are spoken, but what about the money?
Commitment to repay two months' wages is the first boost that Comrade Lao Tan gave Weichai.

The comrades who were investigated by the leading comrades in the province, the president of Weichai’s cooperative bank once slapped his chest in front of the superior leaders, saying that as long as Xiao Tan takes office, Weichai will not collapse, and our bank can guarantee to provide him with another 2000 million loan.

Comrade Tan understands very well that if the wages of these two months cannot be paid to the workers before the deadline he promised, the huge Weichai will collapse instantly, but until the noon of July 7th, the deadline for repayment of wages is still far away. For 8 days, the loan was still not approved.

Faced with this kind of result, Comrade Tan called around to ask relevant leaders and departments to intercede, but the bank is also difficult. What they hesitated was that, in their opinion, it was too difficult for Weichai to stand up. sentence is impossible.

At that time, Comrade Tan, who was holding a dead horse as a living horse doctor, called Zhang Qihang and asked Zhang Qihang if he could borrow some money to make a turnaround. In the end, Zhang Qihang didn't say anything, not even the conditions, and immediately agreed. He personally borrowed 2000 million yuan, and he guaranteed that it would arrive before noon on the 10th.

Relying on the 2000 million that Zhang Qihang dismantled privately, Comrade Lao Tan took the first step smoothly, and the current check for 300 million can be regarded as the first sum of money that Lao Tan returned to Zhang Qihang.

Zhang Qihang glanced at the check on the table, but did not move it. Instead, he said, "Old Tan, I know that your Weichai factory is still in difficulty. Why don't you use the 300 million first?"

Comrade Lao Tan waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I still took advantage of you. If you urge me, 2000 million won't be enough for you. But since you don't urge me, I'll give you 300 million first."

"Oh?"

Hearing what Comrade Tan said, Zhang Qihang was a little curious.

"Since September last year, our Weichai Factory has engaged in a cost revolution," Comrade Lao Tan introduced to Zhang Qihang: "Through public bidding, price comparison ordering and other means, the procurement cost alone has been reduced by as much as 9 million; through medical treatment The reform of the system will reduce the medical expenses of the whole factory by 3000 million yuan a year; through the effective control and the assessment of various department indicators, the comprehensive management cost will be reduced by 1000 million yuan a year..."

"With such three tricks, it's 5000 million yuan!" Speaking of this, Comrade Tan said with emotion: "Should this 5000 million yuan be used for market development and product research and development, or will it be eaten up by insiders and wasted?" ?It doesn’t matter what I said before, but now that I am the leader of Weichai Factory, I have to say 'No!' to these situations

As for your 300 million, it was actually taken from the 5000 million. "

"Hehe... In that case, I won't be polite to you."

Zhang Qihang laughed, and without giving way to Comrade Tan, he accepted the 300 million check graciously.

Seeing that Zhang Qihang accepted it, Comrade Tan also breathed a sigh of relief: You must know that the 2000 million that Zhang Qihang lent to himself before was not lent to Weichai by Huateng Industrial Group, but Zhang Qihang’s personal For private loans, although he knew that Zhang Qihang had won many year-end awards from Huateng Industrial Group over the years, he took it for granted that the 2000 million yuan should be most of Zhang Qihang's family property.

This guess put a lot of pressure on Comrade Tan. Now that Zhang Qihang has accepted the 300 million, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was Zhang Qihang, who refilled a glass of water for Comrade Lao Tan, and asked, "Old Tan, you are a very busy person. It is impossible to come to me this time just to pay back my 300 million, right? Come on, what else?" thing?"

Hearing this, Comrade Tan hesitated for a while, and finally said a little embarrassedly: "I really want to ask you for help..."

"Our friendship, what do you want or not?" Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "What is it, tell me."

Comrade Tan nodded, and tentatively asked: "You should have a good relationship with Lingong Machinery."

"Lingong? It's okay," Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "You should know that our group now has a business in hydraulic torque converters and automatic transmissions for construction machinery. In the area of ​​automatic transmissions, Lingong has been The products purchased are from our family..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang came to a sudden: "What? You Weichai also want to enter the field of construction machinery?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Qihang thought of one thing: When did Weichai enter the field of construction machinery power? It seems to be quite high. As for how high it is, I was mainly in the field of civilian passenger vehicles before, and I didn’t have much intersection with the field of construction machinery. I don’t know the specific market share of Weichai in the field of construction machinery, but I don't know the specific market share, but I do know the general situation. It seems that Weichai is the core power supplier in the field of large-scale construction machinery in China, and the market share seems to be [-]% to [-]%... [-]% The market share of [-]% to [-]% is probably only achieved by Zhenhua Port Machinery in later generations.

"Yes." Since he came to seek help from Zhang Qihang, Comrade Tan naturally did not hide it, and said frankly: "We Weichai is very optimistic about the future of the large-scale construction machinery market. Huge market."

"...Old Tan, three questions." After pondering for a while, Zhang Qihang finally spoke. He raised three fingers and said to Comrade Tan: "First of all, if you want to enter the field of construction machinery, then your parent company : What is the attitude of the Sinotruk Group? Based on my understanding of those people in the Sinotruk Group, they may think that you, Weichai, are 'not very obedient', and will they disagree with you for doing this?;

Secondly, although diesel engines for construction machinery and heavy trucks seem to have no difference, we Huateng Group has dealt with Lingong a lot, and we know that there are still differences between the two. The requirements for change and shock resistance are different from those of heavy trucks. It is impossible for your Weichai diesel engine to be directly transplanted to construction machinery. It must be specially adapted to the special work requirements of construction machinery. You have done all these tasks. Yet? ;
Thirdly, and at the same time the most important point, the name of Weichai in the past few years has not been very good. It is well known in the industry, but it is not far behind. How do you want to convince Lingong? Mr. Wang? "

Comrade Old Tan looked at Zhang Qihang and smiled, the kind of happy smile from the bottom of his heart, he patted Zhang Qihang's shoulder vigorously: "Brother, I'm sure now, I really have nothing to do with you as a friend! "

After a pause, Comrade Tan seriously said to Zhang Qihang: "Entering the field of construction machinery is the result of careful consideration by the entire leadership of Weichai after conducting sufficient market research. Compared with the heavy-duty truck market that is difficult to start, the country and the central government are going all out to increase infrastructure construction to stimulate domestic demand, such as the just-produced western development policy and the resulting west-east gas transmission, urban rail transit construction, large-scale large-scale highway construction, etc.,
For these large-scale engineering projects, small-scale construction machinery is not acceptable, and large-scale construction machinery must be suitable. Machinery requires a high-horsepower diesel engine, and this happens to be Weichai's strength! "

"That's the truth."

Zhang Qihang nodded. In fact, Zhang Qihang also felt this point. The number of orders for hydraulic transmission gearboxes for construction machinery from Huateng Industrial Group is increasing rapidly. Except for Lingong, an old customer of Huateng Industrial Group, , Shantui, Liugong, Xiagong, Longgong and other units have also received orders. In addition to the existing products, these domestic old-fashioned construction machinery production units have also asked Huateng Industrial Group to study matching 250 horsepower to 350 horsepower. Hydraulic torque converter or hydraulic automatic transmission assembly for large and heavy construction machinery such as excavators, loaders, bulldozers, etc.

It can be said that with the opening policy of the west and the resulting west-east gas transmission, urban construction and large-scale expressway construction projects, the domestic large and heavy construction machinery field will usher in an unprecedented prosperity and even a blowout!

If Weichai really decides to enter this field, now is indeed an excellent opportunity.

"Really? Brother, you think so too, don't you?" Zhang Qihang recognized his opinion, and Comrade Lao Tan was even happier. He continued: "You also know that I came from our Weichai Technology Research Institute. , I know a little bit about technology, and I also know the thoughts of technical R&D personnel. Therefore, after determining the future development prospects of large-scale construction machinery, our factory immediately increased R&D investment, reformed the R&D system, and at the same time rewarded the scientific and technological elites and went all out. Carry out scientific research on WD615 heavy-duty truck diesel engine transformation into construction machinery engine.

With the combination of talent, system and investment, in just a few months, our Weichai technicians have developed a modified diesel engine that meets the needs of large-scale construction machinery on the basis of the WD615 Steyr diesel engine. The key technical indicators just mentioned, such as torque reserve, load change, temperature change, and shock resistance, all meet and exceed the requirements of the special power system for large-scale construction machinery. According to our comparison test, our Weichai WD615 construction machinery The special-purpose diesel engine even surpasses similar products on the market in terms of overall performance. "

Zhang Qihang did not doubt Comrade Tan’s words, because the success of Weichai Diesel Engine in the field of construction machinery has been proven. Hearing what Comrade Tan said now, he nodded and said: “It’s understandable, after all, your WD615 diesel engine The foundation is good, after all, it is Steyr's technology."

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Comrade Lao Tan was also smiling and nodded constantly: "You are right, our WD615 diesel engine has a very good foundation... As for the first point you said, our parent company Sinotruk Group attitude, hehe... To tell you the truth, I had a fight with them."

"what?!"

Hearing Comrade Tan's words, Zhang Qihang couldn't help wondering if he heard it wrong.

"That's right, I just had a quarrel with them," Comrade Tan said loudly and proudly to Zhang Qihang, "Of course the parent company is not happy about it. We think that since Weichai It is a supporting factory of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, so just be a supporting factory honestly. Don’t think that there are some things that are right, but I choked on the other side with a word at that time...

Lao Tzu said: "If the parent company can have enough orders to feed all of Weichai's more than 18000 cadres and employees, we will do whatever you say, and we will listen to you, but can you?"Can? ', at that time, that guy was choked by me and rolled his eyes. "

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang burst into laughter!
At this time, the ownership of the Sinotruk Group has not been delegated to Lu Province, and it is still a serious central enterprise. However, at this time, the Sinotruk Group has also fallen into a very serious loss. It wants Weichai, which has more than 18000 employees, to eat full?It doesn't even have enough to eat by itself.
