Chapter 834 Discussing Transaction Details!

At 3:00 PM sharp, Wu Tianlin arrived at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill as agreed. Li Huaide's secretary, Xiao Wang, saw Wu Tianlin's arrival and quickly stepped forward to greet him warmly, saying, "Mr. Wu! Good afternoon! Our Factory Director Li and the leaders from the department are waiting for you in the reception room. Please come this way!"

Upon hearing Xiao Wang's words, Wu Tianlin politely replied, "Secretary Wang! Thank you for your trouble!"

"Director Li! Director Zhang! Section Chief Ma! Mr. Wu has arrived!" Led by Xiao Wang, Wu Tianlin quickly arrived at the door of a reception room. Xiao Wang, who was leading the way, saw the group chatting in the reception room and reported respectfully.

Upon seeing Wu Tianlin's arrival, Li Huaide immediately stood up from the sofa and greeted Wu Tianlin warmly, saying, "Mr. Wu! We've been waiting for you for so long, and we're so glad you've finally arrived."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Wu Tianlin first shook hands with Li Huaide and said humbly, "Director Li! I heard from Dongming that you want to discuss the purchase of equipment with me. What specific equipment are you planning to purchase?"

Upon hearing Wu Tianlin's question, Li Huaide immediately replied with a smile, "Mr. Wu! Regarding the procurement of equipment, please have Director Zhang discuss the details with you."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Zhang Jian immediately stepped forward, shook hands with Wu Tianlin, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu! According to instructions from our superiors, we want to purchase several industrial machine tools. I wonder how many you can get? Approximately how much will each one cost? And what is the payment method?"

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's inquiry and learning that the other party wanted to purchase industrial machine tools, Wu Tianlin immediately introduced to Zhang Jian: "Director Zhang! We currently have a total of five industrial machine tools on hand, each priced at 20 million US dollars. If you do not have enough US dollars, you can use yellow croaker as payment."

"As for the payment method, you can pay half of the cost when we ship the equipment to China. After we have debugged the equipment and trained your technicians to operate the industrial machine, you can settle the remaining cost. Does that sound acceptable?"

Zhang Jian had initially worried that the other party would require them to pay a deposit first, and then demand the remaining payment after the equipment arrived in China. However, upon hearing Wu Tianlin's proposed transaction plan, Zhang Jian's face immediately lit up with elation. He happily said to Wu Tianlin, "Mr. Wu! We want all five industrial machine tools. Since our domestic foreign exchange reserves are very low, we can pay for the equipment with silver dollars according to the international exchange rate."

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's reply, Wu Tianlin immediately nodded and answered with a serious expression, "Okay! Then I will arrange for the goods to be shipped from Hong Kong. Once the goods arrive at Jingu Port, I will notify you to pick them up at Jingu Port."

"Considering that the technicians who operate industrial machine tools need a long period of training, we will have the personnel responsible for training arrive in Beijing within a week. We hope that you can arrange the personnel in advance to receive our training."

Upon hearing Wu Tianlin's instructions, Zhang Jian immediately asked, "Mr. Wu! What are your requirements for the technicians operating the industrial machine tools?"

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's question, Wu Tianlin pondered for a moment before replying, "Director Zhang! Technicians operating industrial machine tools must first have a certain level of education, and also at least five years of experience working with CNC machine tools. There aren't any other special requirements." As if suddenly remembering something, Wu Tianlin continued, "Oh, right! Also, you need to find ten technicians skilled in maintenance to learn how to repair industrial machine tools, so that we don't have to send people back to China to repair them when they malfunction in the future."

As the director of the Procurement Department of the Ministry of Industry, he has purchased a lot of equipment from abroad through various channels over the years. However, the sellers of these equipment not only do not teach them how to repair the equipment, but also charge high repair fees every time the equipment breaks down.

Moreover, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that once their technicians master the maintenance technology of industrial machine tools, they can analyze the design principles and technical parameters of industrial machine tools through reverse deduction, so as to replicate the manufacturing technology of industrial machine tools.

When Zhang Jian heard Wu Tianlin's request and learned that Wu Tianlin would also send people to teach them how to repair industrial machine tools, Zhang Jian was overjoyed. He quickly reached out and grasped Wu Tianlin's hand, excitedly asking, "Mr. Wu! What did you just say? You're going to send people to Beijing to train our industrial machine tool repair personnel? Is that true?"

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's question and seeing the excited expression on Zhang Jian's face, Wu Tianlin nodded firmly and said to Zhang Jian, "Director Zhang! I would never joke about such a thing, so before our trainees arrive in Beijing, I hope you will make arrangements for all the trainees. Also, during the training period, we need you to arrange the food and accommodation for our trainees."

“Mr. Wu! That’s no problem at all. We will arrange for someone to take care of the food and accommodation for these training teachers.” Zhang Jian immediately assured Wu Tianlin, patting his chest.

Wu Tianlin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Zhang Jian's promise and said to Zhang Jian, "Director Zhang! I'll go back first and arrange for someone to notify Hong Kong about the shipment and the relevant matters regarding sending training personnel to Beijing. When the training personnel arrive in Beijing, I will have Dongming notify you."

Upon hearing Wu Tianlin's words, Zhang Jian greeted him warmly, saying, "Mr. Wu! Let me see you off!"

Soon the group arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill. Wu Tianlin instinctively stopped, reached out and shook hands with Zhang Jian, and said with a smile, "Director Zhang! You can leave here. I will arrange for someone to notify Dongming as soon as I have any news, and then Dongming will contact you."

Upon hearing Wu Tianlin's words, Zhang Jian warmly shook hands with him and said politely, "Mr. Wu! We'll be waiting for your good news! Goodbye!"

Jia Dongming, who was in his office, was fully aware of the conversation between Wu Tianlin and Zhang Jian. The reason he asked Zhang Jian to arrange for someone to learn maintenance technology was to help China master the manufacturing technology of industrial machine tools as soon as possible, thereby indirectly accelerating China's development.
