Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 247 Who can have trouble with money?

What happened to the little miscellaneous fish?

Do others think you are a piece of shit? Are you just a trash fish?

Looking at China’s thousands of years of history, who is not a trash fish?

It’s nothing more than big or small!

There is nothing important in life except death!

Ability determines the lower limit, attitude determines the upper limit!

Since I am qualified to sit here, it means that I have already entered the poker table. Whether he wants to admit it or not, Gu Weijun already has the identity and strength to influence one party!

In the technological competition between Shijingshan and Beijing Automobile Factory, Gu Weijun could only rely on the Military Commission or Tsinghua University and the Mechanical Research Institute to achieve his goal in roundabout ways!

But on this occasion, in this project, Gu Weijun, as the designer of the heavy-duty truck TD72 drawings, has the ability to make waves with one word!

So, what is low-key?

As long as the goal of the technology import team is to save money for the country, then it must listen to my opinion, Gu Weijun. Otherwise, why bother asking me to make such a trip?

This is why Gu Weijun suddenly shines!

After Gu Weijun finished speaking, the conference room was silent for a few minutes. Everyone was thinking about what Gu Weijun had just said!

The first point about embodying the value of technology is easy to understand. The second point rises to some kind of monetary system. Not everyone here understands it, but no one dares to say it as conclusively as Gu Weijun!

Finally, Team Leader Fang slapped the table, gritted his teeth and stood up, "Please ask comrades from the Ministry of Machinery, the State Planning Commission and the State Economic Commission to contact the country immediately to calculate the domestic demand for heavy-duty vehicles in the next five years!"

"Dean Zhou, you and your comrades from the institute will work with Gu Weijun to study how to embody the value of our technology and make Bailey agree!"

Team leader Fang looked around at the attendees and said categorically: "Comrades, every penny of our foreign exchange is hard-earned. No matter what, we must strive for the best amount for the country!"

"Now, comrades, please take action immediately!"

Following the order from Team Leader Fang, the negotiation team was divided into two teams. Gu Weijun followed Dean Zhou to another room to discuss technical matters; Team Leader Fang led the other team to synchronize calculations while contacting the country.

In another room, because they were all comrades from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Dean Zhou spoke much more straightforwardly. Because of the relationship between Tsinghua University and Li Jixiang, he worriedly said to Gu Weijun: "Classmate Gu Weijun, what you said today is too great." Be bold!”

"You are equivalent to negating all previous negotiations!"

"The previous negotiations were decided by the leaders!"

"You won't make mistakes like this, right?"

Gu Weijun restrained his sharpness and expressed his gratitude gently, "Dean Zhou, thank you for the reminder!"

"I thought about it clearly before I spoke. Although I am junior and have a low status in our negotiation team, our goal is to save foreign exchange for the country. As long as we can achieve this goal, I believe the leaders will be tolerant and generous!"

"Okay!" Dean Zhou sighed. It was too late to say anything now. He could only try his best to achieve it. Then he raised his spirits and asked: "Gu Weijun, where does the technical value you mentioned come from?"

Gu Weijun smiled slightly and asked himself: "Dean Zhou, when do capitalists care about technology?"

"When it brings them money!"

"You know France is also a member of Batumi, why are they willing to sell us technology?"

"You're still going out of your way to help us prepare processing machine tools for automobile production?"

“It comes down to money!”

"The TD72 heavy-duty vehicle I designed is specially adapted to plateaus and cold areas. Didn't Dean Zhou think of something?"

Dean Zhou blurted out: "Soviet Union!"

Gu Weijun nodded, "Yes, and it's not just the Soviet Union, it also includes the entire Warsaw Pact!"

"The technology of this heavy-duty vehicle from Bailey is actually suitable for arid and desert environments!"

"So, this is our greatest technical value! As long as we put this in front of them during negotiations, the capitalists will naturally associate it!" "They have already done business with us, so they don't want to make money from other socialist countries? "

“It’s just that we don’t have the corresponding technology!”

“We place the registered and relevant patent certificates in front of them so that we can clearly tell them this!”

"And we have to let them understand that our automobile industry is lacking in processing equipment, not technical design!"

"We have given them this opportunity to make money, if they can't seize it this time."

Gu Weijun said softly, "If they don't consider technology exchange this time, then when they want to do business with the Warsaw Pact in the future, the price will have to be carefully discussed!"

"That's right!" Dean Zhou suddenly realized, "Our technical drawings and his technology happen to be in two different directions!"

"Oh! Why didn't I think of that before?"

"I'll go find Team Leader Fang right now!"

Dean Zhou ran out to find Team Leader Fang. After relaying Gu Weijun's analysis to Team Leader Fang, Team Leader Fang was also overjoyed!

Yes, we don’t have enough processing and export capabilities, but they do!

Should we sell this technical drawing to them at a price and let them sell it to other countries?

And, there’s one more thing! We can also take advantage of this opportunity this time and ask Bailey to help purchase processing machine tools for the TD72 heavy-duty vehicle!

Kill two birds with one stone!

Why! When Chief Ye from the Ministry of Trade suggested that I bring Gu Weijun into the negotiation team, why did I hesitate because he was a thorn in the side? I should have made a prompt decision to bring him in. But fortunately, it's not too late now!

Why! You have to be a designer to know the advantages and value of your own technical design!

Doesn't this hit the nail on the head and open up the situation?

Suddenly, Team Leader Fang remembered something and quickly asked Dean Zhou, "By the way, did you ask Gu Weijun if he had brought all the drawings?"

Because before, Gu Weijun only provided the overall structure diagram of the TD72 heavy-duty vehicle and the engine structure diagram, but did not draw the other transmission systems!

Dean Zhou was stunned, "I haven't asked yet, but since Gu Weijun said so, they must have all been drawn!"

Well, Team Leader Fang agreed with Dean Zhou's judgment. It doesn't matter even if he doesn't bring them all, they are here!

Team leader Fang was pacing back and forth in the room excitedly. There were just two days left before formal negotiations would begin. Attending Bailey's welcome dinner tonight, he could tell their president Paul Bailey about the value of this technology in a subtle way.

Gu Weijun is right, what attracts capitalists the most? Money!

"Team Leader Fang!" At this time, comrades from the State Planning Commission and the Economic Commission also came over. Comrade from the Planning Commission held a piece of paper in his hand, "We have discussed and calculated with the country, and the gap is really too big!"

“But there must be a conservative import of 1000 heavy-duty vehicles every year!”

"Okay!" Team leader Fang laughed happily and said to the other comrades in the room: "The young people must be smart!"

"Look, don't we have more trump cards in our hands?"

"I will report to the leader immediately!"

"I believe the leaders will definitely agree with our plan!"

Team Leader Fang immediately asked the embassy to contact Deputy Leader Bo and domestic leaders. After reporting respectively, Team Leader Fang, who received support, was as high-spirited as if he were holding two swords. When a general goes into battle to kill the enemy, he is waiting for the words: "Come and report." Name!"
