Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

There are many bidding projects in Xingyuan this time, including dump trucks, excavators, loaders, and cement pump trucks, among which excavators and cement pump trucks are the key targets.

The bidding advantage of the excavator is the price, because the main power diesel engine and hydraulic pump are domestic brands, the cost is low, and the price has an advantage over the peers.

The cement pump truck is Xingyuan's main product, and the boom pump truck has no competitors at all among domestic brands.However, due to the high price of imported pump trucks due to tariff issues, they do not have a competitive advantage.

Yuanxia's goal is to secure the first and compete for the third. All cement pump trucks will be won, and some orders will be won for excavators and dump trucks. never mind.

The bidding process is still to submit the bidding documents first, and then organize manufacturers to conduct a question and answer meeting for the bidding project.

The bidding Q&A meeting will start tomorrow, Xingyuan's Q&A time will be tomorrow afternoon, and the morning will be mainly foreign-funded manufacturers.

That night, Cui Pingsheng took the initiative to invite Yuan Xia to dinner.

At the dinner table, Cui Pingsheng drank two glasses of beer and said: "Look at any state-owned enterprise that is doing as badly as I am. They are all vice presidents and managers. I am the only boss here. With this, we may not be able to bid. Come down, are you ashamed or not?"

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "It shows that Cui is always a man of action and sincerely wants to help the company grow stronger."

Cui Pingsheng waved his hand: "Brother Xiaoyuan, don't flatter me. To put it bluntly, we are getting better and worse, and our strength is not as good as others, so we can only pretend to be grandson."

Yuan Xia sternly said: "I'm telling the truth, not flattery. Xingyue started late and has a weak foundation, but the quality of the cranes is not bad, but the product range is a bit single, and it is not as good as other companies for the time being. But Xingyue also has advantages , Diesel engines can be self-sufficient, and the production cost is lower than other companies. You can also sell diesel engines to other companies to make profits, speed up investment in research and development, and produce more new products. It will develop within a few years."

Cui Pingsheng nodded: "I also know. But our company is different from yours. There are too many chronic illnesses in state-owned enterprises. After making money, everyone thinks about sharing more benefits first, and then investing in research and development."

Yuan Xia said: "This is an inherent chronic disease of state-owned enterprises. If they want to develop well, the methods must be more straightforward, and the lesions must be cut in time, otherwise they will just spread everywhere like unremoved cancer, and there will be no way to recover. gone."

Cui Pingsheng raised his glass: "Brother Xiaoyuan is right, I would like to toast you again."

Yuan Xia clinked glasses with him and said, "I wish you all the best tomorrow."

Cui Pingsheng said: "I wish you a great victory tomorrow!"

The next day, Yuan Xia took his company colleagues to the headquarters of China State Construction Engineering Corp. to attend a question-and-answer meeting.

The Q&A meeting was conducted by each manufacturer individually, mainly to answer some questions that China Construction Group had about the bidding projects.

Xingyuan's Q&A session was attended by Yuan Xia himself. Yuan Xia glanced at it, and there were two or three members of the bid evaluation committee who were sitting below him. Among them was Deputy Director Lang who had dinner with him in Shanghai back then. He has been promoted and is already the director.

Obviously, those committee members also remembered Yuan Xia, and one of them glanced at the bid document in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr.

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "That's thanks to the support and care of the leaders for Xing Yuan."

The other party said: "Then tell me about the features and advantages of your product."

Yuan Xia turned on the computer and slide projector, and began to show the slides she brought. There is no PPT software yet, so I can only use this relatively simple method, but it is better than standing up and talking before, and it is more intuitive.

To make these slides, Yuan Xia also spent a lot of effort, and even drew some pictures.

He focused on his own cement pump truck and excavator, and also emphasized the domestic parts used in the main parts of his dump truck.

Yuan Xia said bluntly: "With domestic diesel engines and hydraulic pumps, the performance may not be as good as foreign ones for the time being, but at least we can be self-sufficient. This is an improvement. The key is that domestic parts are cheap, so the advantage of our products is also the price. It is cheap. I hope that all the leaders will consider it comprehensively and purchase our dump trucks.”

After the question-and-answer meeting, the bid evaluation committee will evaluate the bids, notify the winning bidder, and finally negotiate with the bidder on price and other aspects, and then sign the contract.

While waiting for the results, Yuan Xia gave a few colleagues a vacation and asked them to go to Beijing for a few days, while he went to visit Yu Xingyi's parents.

In Beijing in April, spring has arrived, the weather is getting warmer, everything is sprouting, and the wind has become gentler. If there is no sandstorm, it can be said to be very pleasant.

They were lucky. Before they arrived in Beijing, a sandstorm had just ended, and the weather was pretty good in the past few days.The weather was beautiful, sunny, spring flowers, everything was perfect except for the occasional fine grain of sand in the wind.

Yu Zhenxing and his wife successfully survived another long winter. In their own words, it was a winter of hibernation, and they were finally able to get out of the cave to exercise their muscles and bones.

After Yuan Xia came, he drove them to the hospital for a check-up, went to some parks where the spring flowers were particularly blooming, went for a walk and enjoyed the flowers, and took the two elders to buy new clothes for spring and summer.

After Yu Zhenxing's cancer surgery, he recovered miraculously. Five or six years later, there has been no recurrence. Except for his weak body, his functions are all normal.

Tao Simin has been following the doctor's advice since he had a cerebral infarction, eating less salt and less oil, exercising moderately, measuring blood pressure every day, taking blood-lowering drugs, and maintaining his body well without recurrence.

The two elders go to the hospital for checkups regularly, and their daily lives are simple.

In addition to work, it is to grow flowers. There is also a stray orange cat that Sonar picked up from school at home.

When the weather is fine, the elders will go downstairs for a walk.On weekends, Mulati will take the two elders out for a stroll, to see those quaint alleys in Beijing, and also go to some newly opened shopping malls to feel the fruits of the booming development of the motherland.

Although the two elders are old, their hearts are not old. They maintain a strong curiosity about the world, and they are always learning. Using the computer Yu Xingyi bought for them, they learned to type and surf the Internet.

During the breaks between the two old people, they would get together to study and discuss new things online.

Yuan Xia felt that the positive and optimistic lifestyle of the two elders was really worth learning. At a young age, he suffered from a serious illness, but he did not accept his fate and lay down and waited for death. He continued to work and study, and explored the world.

I must learn from the two elders, and I can't stop accepting new things until the day I die.

April 4th is Yu Xing's first birthday, and it is also the day when the bidding will be announced.Early in the morning, Yuan Xia woke up, and called Yu Xingyi on her mobile phone: "Xingyi, happy birthday! I'm sorry I couldn't celebrate your birthday with you again this year, and I'll make it up for you when I go back."

Yu Xingyi said: "It doesn't matter, I don't like to celebrate my birthday anymore, after a year, I will be a year older."

Yuan Xia smiled: "No, I think you have always been young and handsome."

Yu Xingyi said: "But aging is an indisputable fact. But I can grow old with you, and I don't think it's so uncomfortable."

When Yuan Xia heard this sentence, his throat couldn't help but choke, yes, this was his long-term extravagant wish, he lowered his voice and said: "Xing Yi, I love you."

As soon as Yu Xing heard these words, the uneasiness and loss in his heart disappeared immediately: "I love you too. When will you come back? I miss you."

Yuan Xia was also in a happier mood, and said softly, "It's coming soon. The bidding results can be announced today, and it may take some time to negotiate the price. It's just a few days."

"Okay. Today is my birthday, and the birthday person is the biggest. I have the final say on everything, and I will definitely win the bid today!" Yu Xingyi laughed when he said this.

"Okay!" Yuan Xia also cheered up.

Yuan Xia went out and saw Tao Simin and the nanny making breakfast in the kitchen, Yuan Xia opened the refrigerator, took out the eggs bought yesterday, and walked into the kitchen.

Tao Simin looked at him curiously, Yuan Xia seldom entered the kitchen when the nanny was there, so he asked, "Do you want to eat eggs?"

Yuan Xia said: "Good morning, Auntie. Today is Xingyi's birthday. There is a custom in our hometown that we have to invite people to eat eggs on their birthdays, which is called biting disasters. Those who celebrate their birthdays will be happy for a year."

Tao Simin suddenly realized, and was quite moved: "Is there still this custom? It's very interesting, come on, there is a stove here, you can cook next to it."

"Okay." Yuan Xia found a pot, washed the eggs briefly, put them in and boiled them.

Tao Simin watched his movements silently, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, we haven't celebrated Xingyi's birthday with him for more than 30 years. He has been separated from us since he was seven or eight years old. When we saw him again, he was already in his 30s. My father and I owe our son too much." She couldn't help sobbing when she said this.

Yuan Xia started the fire, boiled the eggs, turned around to comfort Tao Simin: "Auntie, don't blame yourself too much, Xing Yi told me that he can understand. You have paid too much for the country."

Tao Simin sniffed and controlled his emotions: "Thank you, Xiao Yuan. I'll go and make a call to Xing Yi."

After the eggs were boiled, Yuan Xia packed a dozen eggs in a bag, took them to Zhongjian, distributed one egg to each of his employees, and gave Cui Pingsheng several more to distribute to his employees.

The people who got the eggs were very surprised and said, "Mr. Yuan, why did you invite us to eat eggs? Has someone given birth to a child? But shouldn't red eggs be eaten when a child is born?"

Yuan Xia couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and explained: "No, this is a custom in our hometown. It's someone's birthday in the family. Please help bite the disaster."

The crowd suddenly realized.

Si Hongjin looked at this side from a distance, and couldn't help coming over: "Junior Brother, what are you busy with?"

Yuan Xia looked at Si Hongjin who was wearing a red dress: "Morning, Senior Sister. Do you eat eggs?" But Si Hongjin's appearance as a strong woman really doesn't go well with boiled eggs.

Si Hongjin said, "Eat it. Is there anything special about this egg?"

Yuan Xia explained again, and Si Hongjin said, "This is interesting. Give me as much as you have left, and I'll give it to my colleagues in the company. They are all very curious about Chinese culture."

Yuan Xia gave the remaining eggs to Si Hongjin, seeing that she really took them to invite those foreigners to eat.

In the morning, China Construction Group announced the results of winning the bid, and Xingyuan Machinery was indeed on the list, and Xingyue and John Deere were also on the list. It can be said that everyone is happy.
