When will I have a long tassel?

Not mentioning how Tang Zifeng bullied Kang Zhichao, an honest man, let us turn our attention to Changning City, Mingxi Province.

In the small conference room of Dahan Dongyuan Machine Tool Company, the atmosphere was very depressing. Production Director Wang Yingsong and Technical Director He Jian sat at the conference table with their heads lowered and remained silent. Sitting opposite them was Li Taiyu, the chairman of the company. His face was as blue as the paint on the machine tool, his eyes were bright red, and he was very particular about the color matching.

Compared with a year ago, Li Taiyu has lost a lot of weight. His formerly flowing hair has lost its luster and is hanging down on his head. When illuminated by the light, it seems that a few silver strands can still be seen. His temper grew louder and his swearing became more frequent. The only thing that has improved is that his Chinese is much more fluent than before. Even if he doesn't include Korean swear words when he curses, he can still curse for 10 minutes without repeating it. With some praise, he can go back to Korea to perform Chinese cross talk.

"Tell me what's the reason for this!"

Li Taiyu slapped the pile of information in his hand and roared angrily.

This stack of information was just given to him by He Jian. They were all faxes received by the sales department from customers requesting to cancel orders. There have been cases in the past where customers requested to cancel orders. Due to various reasons, customers can indeed request to cancel the order under the conditions permitted by the contract, and Dongyuan Company cannot refuse.

But after entering October, more and more customers are requesting to cancel their orders. He Jian, who was in charge of sales, didn't pay much attention at first. He was shocked when his subordinates told him that more than 20 orders had been cancelled. Before he could react, applications to cancel the order came like a snowflake, making him dizzy.

He collected a bunch of faxes and hurriedly reported to Li Taiyu. Li Taiyu first scolded him face to face, and then called the production director Wang Yingsong and asked Wang Yingsong and He Jian to explain the matter.

"I called several customers and they reported that the quality of our machine tools was too poor and could not meet the accuracy and durability promised in the product information. They refused to accept it." He Jian said in a small voice.

"Why do they say that the quality of our machine tools is poor? We haven't shipped the goods yet. What are they basing their judgment on?" Li Taiyu asked.

He Jian couldn't tell. He had just learned about this situation. He called several old customers to ask, but they were hesitant and refused to give an accurate answer, so he couldn't figure out the whole story.

"Director Wang, tell me, are there any problems with the quality of our products?" Li Taiyu turned his attention to Wang Yingsong again.

Wang Yingsong was originally responsible for production in the company. Later, Dongyuan Company outsourced its products to several township enterprises. Wang Yingsong volunteered to be a supervisor, traveling back and forth between various enterprises. He spent 20 days in a month working in the company. Outside. Strangely enough, with such intensity of work, Wang Yingsong actually gained weight like a balloon. The secret of it is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Hearing Li Taiyu's inquiry, Wang Yingsong forced out a smile and said: "Mr. Li, don't worry, the production of each outsourcing company is strictly in accordance with the process specifications we proposed, and there is absolutely no cutting corners. The machine tools are shipped back After that, Director He also conducted random inspections and found no problems."

"So, it is baseless for customers to say that the quality of our machine tools is poor?" Li Taiyu continued to ask.

"Well..."

He Jian and Wang Yingsong glanced at each other subconsciously, and then quickly turned their faces away. These two are basically incompatible with each other, and there is no room for reconciliation. Li Taiyu knew this, but did not try to mediate their relationship. In Li Taiyu's view, it is good for him to have conflicts between the two senior executives of the company. If there is a conflict, they will find fault with each other. This is equivalent to supervising each other, which is much better than colluding to deceive him.

"Director He, tell me, are there any problems with the quality of our machine tools?" Li Taiyu named him.

He Jian grimaced and said, "Mr. Li, our machine tools are outsourced to township enterprises for production. If these enterprises strictly abide by the process specifications, the quality of the machine tools will be no problem. However, our process standards themselves The requirements are a bit low, so the machine tools we sell perform well in the first two years, but after two years of use, the accuracy will drop significantly. It makes sense for customers to say that our products are of poor quality."

Hearing this, Li Taiyu's arrogance dropped a bit. Although he doesn't understand technology, he still knows his own affairs. In order to meet the requirements of high quality and low price, these machine tools he asked people to design had a lot of discounts in terms of materials and processing techniques. The design company once explained this to him, and He Jian also relied on the local More than ten years of experience as deputy section chief of the Technology Section pointed this out to him.

Problems with the quality of machine tools will occur after the machine parts wear out. If the materials used are better, the wear rate of the machine parts will be slower. If a machine tool is used for ten or eight years, there may not be obvious wear. However, the materials used in Dongyuan's machine tools are relatively low-grade. Under normal use, there will be obvious wear and tear in one or two years. This is a defect of the machine tools.

In addition, due to the problem of material selection, the bed stiffness of Dongyuan Machine Tool cannot reach the level it claims. When processing overweight and super-hard workpieces, the bed will deform. Li Taiyu is also aware of this.

"Even if this is the case..." Li Taiyu said bravely, "Our machine tools will not show obvious wear and tear until one or two years later. How would these customers know about it?"

Wang Yingsong's lips moved but he said nothing, as if he had something to hide. Li Taiyu had sharp eyes and immediately noticed Wang Yingsong's expression, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Director Wang, just say what you want!"

Wang Yingsong gave a fake smile and said, "Mr. Li, I have some inaccurate information about this matter, and I don't know whether to tell it or not."

Bah, if you don't want to talk about it, why did you bring it up?

He Jian spit on the side and deducted another five points from Wang Yingsong's moral integrity score, from minus 100 to minus 105.

Li Taiyu took a deep breath, resisted the urge to curse, waved his hand and said, "Go on, let Director He and I hear what's going on."

Wang Yingsong then reached into his arms and took out a folded booklet. After unfolding it, he handed it to Li Taiyu and said at the same time: "Mr. Li, I got this book from a friend in the company... , you’ll know just by looking at it.”

"This? Is it the legendary..."

Li Taiyu's heart beat unexpectedly, but when he focused his attention on the booklet, all the surging hormones subsided. It was not the indescribable manuscript he imagined, but a cold technical document. The title on the cover clearly read:

"Quality Evaluation Report on Common Machine Tools in the Domestic Market (September 1997)".

"What is this?"

Li Taiyu reached for the booklet and looked at the cover again. In addition to the above title on the cover, there is a signature below, which reads "Machine 20 Secretariat". A box was drawn in the upper left corner with the words "Top Secret Information, No External Dissemination" written inside.

"Is this top secret information?" Li Taiyu looked at Wang Yingsong puzzled and asked, "How did you get it?"

"That..." Wang Yingsong hesitated for a moment, then said vaguely, "It's all spread, and many people have it."

"It's already been spread, can this be called top-secret information?" Li Taiyu felt like thunder was rolling in the sky, this was all such a mess.

Wang Yingsong smiled and said nothing. People are willing to write like this. Can you, Li Taiyu, care about it? Chinese people have always liked to pass on all kinds of internal information. The more "top secret" something is written on it, the more people like to pass it on. Have you ever seen those greasy old men on the street, shirtless and holding big cattail fans in their hands? But when it comes to national affairs, they all look mysterious, as if they had carried bags for their leaders in the "sea" when they were young. .

Wang Yingsong didn't speak, and Li Taiyu couldn't dig deeper. He opened the booklet and found that it contained reviews of various brands and models of machine tools on the market. There is also a row of five-pointed stars drawn under the name of each machine tool. Some of the five-pointed stars are solid, some are hollow, and some are half solid and half empty. After thinking about it for a while, Li Taiyu understood that the five-pointed stars were clearly the editor's ratings of various machine tools. The perfect score is five points, which is five solid five-pointed stars. As for zero points, they are naturally five hollow five-pointed stars.

After understanding the method, Li Taiyu began to search for the name of Dongyuan Company. It didn't take him much effort to find the machine tools he produced. When he took a closer look at the content underneath, he felt a mouthful of old blood welling up in his throat, and he almost vomited it out.

"Who made these comments? How much hatred does it have against our company!" Li Taiyu cursed loudly.

He Jian, who was originally sitting across the conference table, quickly came around and came to Li Taiyu's side to read the brochure. I saw a bunch of test data written under the name of a grinder from Dongyuan Company, which looked quite professional. After listing the test data, the content became vernacular:

"There is no doubt that this is a junk-level machine tool. Its quality is only equivalent to the low-end machine tools manufactured by small township machine tool companies, but the price has reached the level of mid-range machine tools produced by domestic medium-sized machine tool companies with certain strength. The price-performance ratio is in Ranked fifth from the bottom among all machine tools evaluated.”

As for the five five-pointed stars used for scoring, four of them are completely hollow, and the remaining one is barely half solid. In other words, the reviewer gave this machine tool a low score of 0.5.

"This is Hong Guoguo's slander! This is maliciously damaging our reputation! Mr. Li, we must sue them!"

He Jian pounded the table angrily and shouted louder than Li Taiyu.

5/5! Five updates a day, we did it
