Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 660 Li Huaide’s purpose of coming!

Wu Aiguo personally made tea for Li Huaide. After asking Li Huaide to take a seat, he smiled and asked Li Huaide: "Director Li! You came to see me today. I don't know what important matter you have, but you can't even talk on the phone." explain."

Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry and thought of the purpose of his trip. He quickly asked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! I heard that Baosteel has introduced a special steel production line. This special steel production line is Did your trading department help with the purchase?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide ask about the special steel production line, he thought of the equipment he had purchased for the steel rolling mill in the past two years, and asked Li Huaide with a puzzled look: "Director Li! You are right, this batch of equipment is indeed It was purchased by our Trade Department, but for this matter, you can ask me on the phone, why did you make this special trip to find out about this matter from me?"

Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry and thought of the purpose of his trip. Li Huaide smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! I'll tell you the truth! After Baosteel's production line was put into operation, Director Yang and the technical department of our factory The key personnel of the company made a special trip to Baosteel to observe the production process of new equipment."

"Director Yang and the backbones of the technical department were simply stunned after seeing the production process of the new equipment. After they came back, they held a special meeting and planned to apply to the Ministry of Industry for the introduction of this kind of steelmaking equipment, so they applied to the Ministry of Industry. The superior applied, but was rejected by the superior.”

"The factory knows that I have a good relationship with you, so it sent me to find you to see if we can find a way from your trading department to help purchase a special steel production line."

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide mention Baosteel's special steel production line, he had already vaguely guessed the purpose of Li Huaide's trip.

Facing Li Huaide's request and thinking of this year's procurement plan, Wu Aiguo said to Li Huaide with a serious face: "Director Li! The steel rolling mill has just introduced two sets of production equipment in the past two years. According to the procurement regulations of the Ministry of Industry, your steel rolling The factory cannot add new equipment in the next two years."

Li Huaide was not surprised at all when he heard Wu Aiguo's answer, because that was how the Ministry of Industry responded to them.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Li Huaide replied helplessly: "Director Wu! I also know the situation you mentioned, because this is how the Ministry of Industry responded to us, so Director Yang and the others sent me to find you to find out. Can your Trading Department help us purchase a set of similar equipment?"

Wu Aiguo frowned when he heard Li Huaide's request.

Wu Aiguo picked up the tea cup placed on the table, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Director Li! You have given me a big problem!"

Seeing that Wu Aiguo did not reject his request, but described it as a big problem, Li Huaide immediately realized that there was something interesting about this matter, and asked Wu Aiguo happily: "Director Wu! I also know this This matter is a bit difficult, but this batch of equipment is related to the expansion of our factory, so I ask you to help us find a way."

Wu Aiguo heard what Li Huaide said and saw the begging expression on Li Huaide's face. He said to Li Huaide: "Director Li! There is no way, but!" "But what? Director Wu! As long as we can purchase a set of the same set of Equipment, our steel rolling mill is willing to do whatever it takes." When Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's answer, his eyes suddenly lit up, and before Wu Aiguo finished speaking, he immediately asked Wu Aiguo.

Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide's inquiry and saw the eager expression on Li Huaide's face. He said to Li Huaide: "Director Li! Our Trade Department helps the Ministry of Industry purchase equipment. All the equipment is funded by the Ministry of Industry. If you want to purchase it separately, As for the equipment, your steel rolling mill must pay for it yourself.”

Li Huaide was not surprised at all by Wu Aiguo's answer, and quickly asked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! How much does it cost to purchase a special steel production line?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide's inquiry, he quickly walked to his desk, took out a document from the cabinet, and said to Li Huaide: "Director Li! This is the quotation for the special steel production line. It is marked with Price, if you want to introduce a set of the same equipment, it will cost at least 130,000 yuan."

Before the steel rolling mill held a meeting to introduce equipment, it had already discussed the funds to purchase the equipment. However, in the subconscious mind of the steel rolling mill management, such equipment only cost 60,000 to 70,000 yuan at most. Considering the current financial situation of the steel rolling mill, it was difficult to buy the equipment. There is no problem at all in downloading this device.

Now that he heard the price quoted by Wu Aiguo, Li Huaide was stunned. He asked Wu Aiguo with a look of horror: "Director Wu! What did you say? This set of equipment costs 130,000 yuan?"

Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide's inquiry and saw Li Huaide's surprised reaction. He handed the quotation in his hand to Li Huaide and said, "Director Li! This is the quotation. Take a good look at it yourself!"

After Li Huaide took the quotation from Wu Aiguo and confirmed the price of the special steel production line, he suddenly felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on him, making him feel chilled to the core.

As the deputy director in charge of logistics of the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide knew clearly that with the current capacity of the steel rolling mill, it was simply not possible to spend so much money. He asked Wu Aiguo with a puzzled look on his face: "Director Wu! Excuse me!" The most expensive of the two sets of equipment introduced in our steel rolling mill in the past two years is only more than 50,000 yuan. How can this special steel production line be more than double the price?"

Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide's inquiry and introduced to Li Huaide with a smile: "Director Li! The equipment introduced by the steel rolling mill in the past few years is ordinary steelmaking equipment, but this special steel production line is a semi-automatic production line. The entire The number of workers required in the production process is one-third of that of ordinary equipment, which greatly saves labor costs, so the price is so much higher."

After hearing the situation introduced by Wu Aiguo, Li Huaide thought of the financial status of the steel rolling mill and said to Wu Aiguo with a depressed look: "Director Wu! If it is only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, we can find a way to squeeze it in, and maybe we can still come up with these." In terms of money, this 130,000 is simply too high. With the current financial situation of our steel rolling mill, we simply cannot afford this much money."

Li Huaide's answer was completely as expected by Wu Aiguo. Thinking of the reason why the Ministry of Industry only purchased one set, Wu Aiguo smiled and said to Li Huaide: "Director Li! Your leaders of the Ministry of Industry know better than anyone else. This equipment is so advanced, and why they only purchased one is because they have no money, so your application was rejected by the Ministry of Industry."
