When will I have a long tassel?

Fan Wenping and Sun Fanzhuo left happily. This feeling of being close to a big sponsor is really great. They need to go back and implement overseas recruitment immediately. Once 20 overseas professors are in place, the status of the entire Dongye University will suddenly rise to a higher level. This is something that cannot be delayed.

Tang Zifeng asked Zhang Jianyang to send the two of them downstairs, while he and Shao Junjie just sent them to the corridor in a symbolic way and then came back.

After returning to the office and sitting down again, Shao Junjie swept away his official appearance and said to Tang Zifeng with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you are really generous. I think Principal Fan and the others are shocked by you."

Shao Junjie was transferred to Linhe from other places just two years ago. His division of labor in the municipal government is economic film, and he interacts a lot with companies in the area. Naturally, he interacts with Tang Zifeng, the general manager of the largest company in Linhe City. They are very familiar with each other, and there is no need to be taboo about talking to each other.

When Tang Zifeng followed Zhou Heng to Linhe, the relationship between Linyiji and the Linhe Municipal Government was relatively distant. To be more precise, Linhe City did not like to see Linhe. There was no other reason. Linyiji was extremely depressed at the time. He owed tens of millions in debt to the bank and could not pay his normal wages. Not only could he not provide any economic contribution to Linhe City, it was also a potential unstable factor.

At that time, when Linyiji's leaders went to the city government to contact people for work, they often had to look at the other party's bad face. It could be said that it was difficult to get in, look ugly, and get things done.

With the efforts of Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng, Linyiji quickly came back to life, paid off the bank's debt, and became a major profit and tax owner in Linhe City. Naturally, the relationship with the city government returned to the harmonious state it had been many years ago.

When Linyi Machinery was restructured and upgraded to Linji Group, Linhe City packaged and merged all the municipal enterprises such as Linhe No.2 Machine Tool and No.3 Machine Tool into Linji Group and exchanged them for a small number of shares in the group. For the government, this small stake in the company does not mean much. What they value more is the development of Linji Group.

The benefits that a large industrial conglomerate can bring to the local economy are countless. Various supporting services required by enterprises, such as packaging, transportation, communications, etc., must be provided by the local government, and this constitutes local revenue. In addition to Tengji Company, Linji Group's other subsidiaries are all in Linhe City, with a total of nearly 30,000 employees. The daily consumption of these people must also be realized locally. This alone can raise the local economy to zero. A few percentage points.

Because of this, Shao Junjie attaches great importance to Linji Group and will visit him every once in a while. If there are any activities in the city, the leaders of Linji Group will be invited to attend, in order to enhance the relationship between the two parties.

Shao Junjie is considered a young cadre among city leaders, but compared with Tang Zifeng, he is not younger, but a full 10 years older than Tang Zifeng. For Tang Zifeng, he sometimes calls him Mr. Tang, and sometimes calls him "brother." Whenever he addressed Tang Zifeng in the latter way, Tang Zifeng would subconsciously tremble, wondering what benefits this old man planned to get from him.

"This is not a big deal. Next, we are going to participate in international competition. Talent is the greatest competitiveness. Our group has made a decision to introduce and cultivate talents at all costs. Just now I and What President Fan and others talked about about subsidizing students to study abroad and introducing famous European professors are all part of our group's strategy. Compared with our income, these investments are not much." Tang Zifeng replied calmly.

Shao Junjie said: "These investments are indeed not very large for a large enterprise like Linji Group. But as far as I know, some large enterprises similar in size to Linji Group do not have this awareness. Their leaders , I would rather spend the money on building a luxurious office building, a chandelier in the lobby is worth tens of millions."

"Ha! We really can't compare with this." Tang Zifeng laughed.

After state-owned enterprises were transformed into corporatized operations, they had much greater financial autonomy than in the past. For expenditures such as renovating office buildings, the enterprises themselves had the final say and did not need to consult higher-level authorities as in the past. Therefore, various The pursuit of luxury and luxury has appeared and has become a joke that people talk about on the Internet.

Regarding matters such as corporate office building decoration, Tang Zifeng's view is relatively neutral. On the one hand, he believes that it is acceptable for companies to renovate their factories and office buildings to make them look more beautiful, even a bit luxurious. This can not only improve the working conditions of employees, but also play a certain role in image promotion.

Think about it, if you see a towering building in a city with the words "XX Group" written on it, will you subconsciously feel that this company is very powerful? On the other hand, if a customer visits a company and sees that the company's leaders work in a dilapidated temple, can they believe that you are one of the world's top 500 companies?

But on the other hand, Tang Zifeng also admitted that the practices of some companies have gone far beyond the reasonable range, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as arrogant and extravagant. In the final analysis, it is that business leaders feel that money belongs to the country and has nothing to do with them. They will not spend it unless it is in vain, so they spend huge sums of money to satisfy their own vanity.

Tang Zifeng would never tolerate the latter situation. Linji Group's expenditure on improving office conditions has always been controlled within an appropriate range, which has also been appreciated by Zhou Heng and other senior leaders.

Shao Junjie admires Linji Group's style quite a lot, and he will praise it a few times when he gets the chance. Of course, there is also an element of compliment in it, which is not enough to mention.

"Director Tang, you just said that Linji Group will also participate in international competition. Does this mean that the scale of the group will be further expanded?"

After saying the useless words before, Shao Junjie began to ask Tang Zifeng insinuatingly.

Tang Zifeng nodded and said, "That's right. In the past few years, our main task was to practice internal skills and fill the gaps in the country. So far, the domestic low-end machine tool market has been basically occupied by our Chinese companies. Mid-range machine tools On the other hand, foreign companies still have a certain share, but they will be squeezed out by us sooner or later. It will only take three or four years at most.

"There is still a certain gap between us and foreign countries in high-end machine tools, but we are working hard to catch up. The country's requirement for us is that by around 2035, high-end machine tools will basically get rid of dependence on foreign countries, even if the market share cannot be completely controlled by ourselves. At the very least, we must develop bargaining power with foreign countries and the ability to deal with foreign sanctions.

"Last month, the leaders of our 'Machine 20' mechanism held a meeting together and set a course of action for the next seven or eight years, which is to fill the gap in high-end machine tools domestically and at the same time take the initiative to enter the market of medium and low-end machines abroad. We will enter the high-end machine tool market and seize the share of foreign machine tool counterparts.”

"High!" Shao Junjie raised his thumb and said, "This should be considered as taking a step out of the fire. No, should it be called fighting to support war?"

"Mayor Shao summed it up brilliantly!" Tang Zifeng in turn gave the other party a thumbs up and said with a smile: "The two things you mentioned should be both."

The fact that the outward-looking strategy determined by "Machine 20" can be summed up in the two words of "drawing firepower from the bottom of the cauldron" and "fighting to support war" also shows Shao Junjie's vision.

The so-called cutting out the bottom line means that after Chinese machine tool companies carve up the foreign machine tool market, the profits of foreign machine tool companies have decreased, making it difficult to invest more funds in the research and development of high-end machine tools, which is equivalent to slowing down their pace.

The so-called war to support war is from the perspective of Chinese enterprises. When Chinese companies obtain profits from foreign markets and use them for their own research and development, they will be able to compete with foreign companies with greater strength.

The former is to weaken the other party, while the latter is to strengthen oneself. This in and out can quickly narrow the gap between Chinese companies and foreign companies. This is the wishful thinking of the leaders of various companies at the Machinery 20 Summit.

Shao Junjie was able to summarize their considerations just by hearing what Tang Zifeng said, and the word "Junjie" in his name was justified.

"How successful can our country's machine tool companies be in entering the international market?" Shao Junjie asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "The cost is still quite high. In terms of low-end machine tools, the established companies in Europe, the United States and Japan no longer bother to do it. Our opponents are basically South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, our level. No worse than them, defeating them shouldn't be a problem.

"In terms of mid-range machine tools, there are still some gaps between us and the established companies in Europe, America and Japan, but they are all within the generation. For users, there is not much difference. Our advantage is low price, the same model For horizontal machine tools, the Japanese company’s asking price is 30,000 US dollars, but ours is 120,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 15,000 US dollars, which is very attractive to users.”

"That's right, our Chinese products are cheap, and they can't learn this." Shao Junjie said.

Tang Zifeng said: "The exchange rate is also responsible for this. Our current exchange rate against the US dollar is 8 to 1. If the RMB appreciates to 6 to 1, then 120,000 RMB will become 20,000 US dollars. This will increase our competitiveness." Just dropped.

"According to the internal information I heard, the RMB may really appreciate to 6 to 1 or even higher in the next few years. By then, it will be even more difficult for us to enter the international market. Therefore, we now have to race against time. Woolen cloth."

"Race against time, you should, you should!" Shao Junjie said as if he felt the same. Then, he showed a bright smile on his face and said:

"Brother Tang, I really envy you for doing such a big business. However, Linji Group wants to develop greatly. Is there anything we can do to help? If so, Brother Tang says it's okay."

Let me explain: In the past few days, I have been busy helping my son fill out the college entrance examination application, and I can't calm down, so I have delayed the update. Sorry for the delay.
