Chapter 644 What If I Don't Sell You?
The negotiations in Western Europe were still in a tug-of-war, and no one expected that the coveted treasure would be buried in a boatload of corn sticks. When the batch of equipment was dug out from the pile of corn, the customs staff almost stared blankly, and then reported the news to their superiors immediately.
Because of the importance of the matter, the news was directly reported to the Bureau of Science and Technology.
At the same time, because they contacted Shen Ji and found two engineers to inspect the equipment, the company got wind of it.
There are several major domestic machine tool companies, one is Shen Ji, the other is Qi Zhong, and there are a lot of machine tool companies like Qi Er, Bei Yi, and Ji Yi, which also occupy a considerable share in the domestic machine tool market. Everyone covets the high-end machine tool market.
So here comes the problem. In theory, everyone has the ability to do this reverse work, and they are confident enough to understand part of the core technology inside. However, there are only two key equipments. Too many monks and too few are not enough.
Therefore, as soon as the wind was heard, Academician Yang Zhongquan, the chief engineer and deputy manager of Shenji, didn't even bother to eat lunch, so he pulled Secretary Wu from the factory, boarded the plane, and hurried over from Fengtian.
In the lounge of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, two people were sitting on the sofa.
Secretary Wu, who was wearing glasses, glanced at the door and said in a low voice.
"Mr. Yang, that piece of equipment is very important to our factory. We must find a way to get one, and it is best to negotiate for both."
Yang Zhongquan picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, his expression unchanged.
"That's natural."
At this time, the door of the lounge opened, and the two stopped talking immediately.
After a warm welcome, Lu Zhou sat on the sofa opposite the two, took the time to look at the two, and said with some surprise.
"You two came all the way to find me, what's the matter?"
Yang Zhongquan was about to speak, but Secretary Wu, who was sitting next to him, coughed lightly, took the initiative to speak, looked at Lu Zhou and said, "Professor Lu is also a busy person, so I'll keep it short, the batch of equipment Did you buy it?"
Lu Zhou: "Yes."
To be honest, Lu Zhou was quite surprised.
It was the leader of the Science and Industry Bureau who called him to make an appointment to meet, but it turned out to be a leader of the enterprise.
Secretary Wu continued to ask: "How much did you spend?"
The price is not a particularly confidential matter, and Lu Zhou didn't hide anything, just said it casually.
"About 20 million euros."
"Only 20 million euros?" Seemingly unbelievable, Yang Zhongquan, who was sitting next to him, looked at Lu Zhou in surprise, and immediately asked, "Where did you get it?"
According to his experience, generally speaking, if you want to buy this kind of high-end equipment in China, you can only change hands through middlemen in third countries, and the price is often more than doubled. You can get this batch of equipment for 20 million euros, no matter how you think about it, it is a big deal.
And the most important thing is not this.
Such the latest industrial machine tools, especially those used in the production of aircraft engine parts, are hard to come by even if they pay three times the price. One is that the middlemen in the third country just want to make a difference and don't want to take too much risk. Secondly, European companies are unwilling to turn a blind eye to this core technology, and the review of qualifications and the exercise of "end-user access rights" are particularly strict. After all, it is their own market competitiveness that is being shaken. Everyone knows that Huaguo's companies always don't play their cards according to the routine.
If he could know where he got these devices, it would be much more comfortable than just getting two devices back.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhongquan and Secretary Wu's hearts suddenly became hot, and they wished to dig out this purchase channel from Lu Zhou immediately.
However, upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou, who was sitting opposite the two, felt a little uncomfortable.
The tone of the two of them talking earlier made him feel a little uncomfortable, and now they asked this kind of question even more. Not to mention that his channel is inconvenient to disclose, even if it is convenient to disclose, can this stuff be told to a third person casually?
Leaning back slightly, Lu Zhou's tone was not as polite as before.
"I met some friends during my study tour abroad. It is not difficult to ask a friend for a favor. What? I have to report to the two when I make a friend?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
Seeing the expression on Lu Zhou's face, Secretary Wu immediately reacted, thinking inwardly that he was going to suffer.
When I first came in, I saw that Lu Zhou was too young, and he was used to bossing around in the factory. He didn't change for a while, and his tone may have unconsciously taken on the tone of a leader. However, just when he was about to tone down his tone and restore the relationship, Yang Zhongquan, who was sitting next to him, collapsed.
After staring at Lu Zhou for a while, the old man suddenly waved his hand.
"Forget it, I won't ask where the equipment is obtained. Our factory will pay you 20 million euros, and you will give us the two pieces of equipment at the port."
Hearing the tone of the old man's order, Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
"I'm not going to sell."
Yang Zhongquan stared: "Do you know what's in the batch of equipment you bought?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Two high-precision five-axis linkage machine tools newly launched by Siemens?"
Thinking about it carefully, among the batch of equipment, this seems to be the most expensive one, because the machining accuracy is so good that its price is even more expensive than any seven-axis six-linkage machine tool.
Seeing that Lu Zhou was clear, Yang Zhongquan snorted coldly and leaned on the sofa.
"As long as you know."
Seeing the expression on his face, Lu Zhou couldn't help feeling a little funny.
"What if I don't sell you?"
Yang Zhongquan said with a dark face: "It's about national security, and I hope that Professor Lu will put the overall situation first, otherwise he will bear the consequences."
Seeing that the two were fighting, Secretary Wu secretly groaned in his heart, but he couldn't get in the way at all, so he had to wink at Yang Zhongquan desperately.
However, right now Yang Zhongquan was so angry that he couldn't care less about anything else, completely ignoring his hints.
Seeing the unfriendly expression on the old man's face, Lu Zhou smiled and took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number without losing his temper.
"Hello? Captain Dai, do me a favor."
Seeing that it was Lu Zhou who called, Captain Dai who was working did not ask for details, and said directly on the other end of the phone.
"What's your business?"
"There is a batch of equipment at Haizhou Port. Since it is a state secret, please help me transport it to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study."
"OK."
A total of four sentences were exchanged.
Listening to the whole process, Yang Zhongquan stared, his beard was about to float up, and pointed his index finger at Lu Zhou.
"You! Do you know what you're doing?"
"I know," Lu Zhou said with a smile as he stuffed the phone back into his pocket, "Your business is a state secret, but mine is not?"
Who are you scaring?
