Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 588 Fighting in the nest

There is no wall that is not ventilated. The news that Fukang Engineering won an order of US$120 million quickly spread within the Chinese exhibition group.

This was undoubtedly earth-shattering and made everyone’s jaw drop!

Many of the peers in the exhibition group are larger in scale and better in technology than Fukang Engineering, but many leading companies can only sell a few products here and there.

Fukang Engineering, a little-known second-tier company, was able to get a large order of US$120 million, which immediately aroused envy and jealousy.

Many people began to inquire about the details of this order. However, neither Fukang Engineering nor Zhou Ganjie disclosed the details of the transaction, or even who the customer was.

After all, this involves Naravani's embezzlement of purchase funds, and it is destined that too much information cannot be revealed. If the Indian side is alerted and Nalavani is exchanged, wouldn't the business be ruined?

In order to continue this business, Fukang Engineering naturally would not reveal even a single word. In order to preserve his political achievements, Zhou Ganjie naturally remained tight-lipped about it. Even the leaders far away in China also kept the details of the matter confidential. .

You can't afford to lose an order worth 70 million US dollars. If you lose this order because of your own leakage, wouldn't you become a national sinner!

So everyone who knew about this should keep their mouths shut.

At breakfast time, the hotel's cafeteria was crowded.

Zhao Chengzhi, general manager of Nanzhou Heavy Industry, walked into the restaurant and saw several exhibitor representatives from Chinese companies gathered in front of a large dining table. He immediately moved over and found an available position to sit down.

Several people at the dinner table were talking about the large order of US$120 million.

"Have you heard the specific information about the US$120 million order? Who is the buyer? And how many types of construction machinery does this order include?"

"No, what we know so far is that Beverly Engineering has won such an order. We don't know the details of the order at all! We don't even know who the customer is."

"I also asked acquaintances in China to inquire. Even the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation only knew that there was such an order, but did not know the specific content of the order. Where did such a large order come from and how was it obtained? Yes, none of them."

"It shouldn't be. If we win a large order of 120 million U.S. dollars, there will be a lot of publicity in the country. The media has already reported it in detail at this time, right? How come the ministries and commissions don't know about it? Maybe they don't want to say it. "

"I have inquired with Zhou Ganjie privately, but when I asked about this order, he changed the subject and made it clear that he knew the inside story, but did not want to talk about it!"

"Signing such a big order, Zhou Ganjie as the team leader has done a great job. You can't brag too much at this time, but why are you keeping a low profile! It seems that this order is extraordinary!"

Everyone exchanged information with each other, and the information was nothing new to Zhao Chengzhi.

Zhao Chengzhi was also shocked when he learned that Fukang Factory had won a large order of US$120 million. Then like others, he began to inquire about the details of the order, but the result was also fruitless. Neither Dubai nor the distant capital got any useful news.

Zhao Chengzhi originally thought that there would be capable people in other companies who could get more information. However, after listening for a long time, he discovered that others did not have more information than him. Everyone only knows that Fukang Engineering has won a large order of US$120 million. As for who the customer is, the details of the order, etc., are not known at all.

"It seems there are no well-informed people left!" Zhao Chengzhi sighed, and then walked to the meal area to see what delicious breakfasts were available today.

Breakfast is all buffet, and it is mainly Arabic style. In addition, it is also a Western-style breakfast that accommodates European tastes. There is no Chinese-style breakfast here.

Although there are many types of food, Zhao Chengzhi doesn't know what kind of food is delicious, and he is not used to eating Arabic breakfast. After all, the taste gap is quite different from Chinese breakfast.

So Zhao Chengzhi simply went to places where there were many Europeans, and he ate whatever the European merchants ate.

There are many types of European breakfast, and the food styles of Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Southern Europe are also different. The European morning tea prepared in this hotel is basically British and American style.

Bread, milk, juice, sausage, bacon, fried eggs, etc. As a Chinese, you may prefer soy milk and fried dough sticks, but you are not opposed to milk bread and ham. So Zhao Chengzhi followed the Europeans and finally managed to get a suitable taste.

In front of a toaster, two European businessmen were waiting for the toast to be heated. Zhao Chengzhi was also waiting in line behind him, preparing to bake a few slices of toast and eat them with ham.

The chat between the two European businessmen also fell into Zhao Chengzhi's ears without missing a word.

"I heard that the US$120 million order from India has been assigned. Do you know which company it is?"

"I don't know. I thought it was from Volvo, but there was news from Volvo that they didn't get the order."

"It is said that the US$120 million was not taken by European companies. Maybe it was taken by American companies or Japanese companies?"

"It shouldn't be an American company. According to the information I got from Americans, Indian purchasing representatives once went to them and took a product list and then gave a very exaggerated price. The Americans directly rejected it."

"Product list? When the Indian purchasing representative was negotiating with European companies, he seemed to have also obtained a product list. It is said that the price he offered was very outrageous, probably only equivalent to half price! If he wants to buy goods at half price, this guy's head is probably rusty Living."

"It seems that the US$120 million order was eventually taken away by the Japanese. Their prices are relatively cheap."

"I don't think so. Even the Japanese cannot accept such a low price. They will lose money!"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Zhao Chengzhi, who was behind, heard the figure "120 million U.S. dollars" and instantly became vigilant.

"The Indian buyer they talk about has a large order of US$120 million. The order just won by Fukang Engineering is worth US$120 million! Could it be that the order won by Fukang Engineering is really an order from an Indian buyer.

According to the two foreigners, the Indian buyer also looked for other companies, but his price was relatively low, and other companies were unwilling to accept the order.

However, the manufacturing costs of our Chinese companies are relatively low, and the product prices are also cheaper than those of European, American and Japanese companies. We can take orders that others cannot take!

In that case, it makes sense. No wonder the little-known Fukang Engineering was able to win such a big order. It turned out that companies in other countries were unwilling to accept this order due to lack of money, so this order fell into the hands of Fukang Engineering.

If this Indian buyer is quite wealthy, he will place an order worth 120 million US dollars. I wonder if he has any other orders. If so, does our Nanzhou Heavy Industry have a chance to fight for it? "

Thinking of this, Zhao Chengzhi rolled his eyes and his mind suddenly became active.

After dinner, Zhao Chengzhi summoned all his men to his room.

Zhao Chengzhi took out a product list and said, "I have a product list here. Let's make a detailed estimate quickly. Can we accept it for 60 million US dollars?"

"An order worth 60 million US dollars?" Everyone was shocked, and then started to check the product list.

At the same time, someone asked: "Mr. Zhao, where did you get this product list?"

"We got lucky this time! This is the US$120 million big order that Beverly Engineering just won!" Zhao Chengzhi continued proudly:

"I have found the big customer and visited him in the afternoon. The big customer gave me this list and then quoted us a price of 60 million US dollars. If we can accept this price, Then this order is ours!”

"We have to pay 60 million U.S. dollars for an order of 120 million U.S. dollars. This customer is too shady!" the man continued.

"Don't worry about whether it's black or not, let's calculate the things above. Based on 60 million U.S. dollars, can we take it?" Zhao Chengzhi paused and then said: "What if there is still a profit for 6,000 U.S. dollars!"

Another person said: "Didn't Fukang Engineering already sign the contract? The contract has been signed, can this order be transferred to us again?"

"That is the customer's own business and has nothing to do with us. Maybe they are willing to pay liquidated damages!" Zhao Chengzhi thought for a while and then said:

"We received an order of 120 million for 60 million, but there was a shortfall of 60 million U.S. dollars! I estimate that the liquidated damages will not exceed 60 million. The customer must have done the math, and I think this is more Good deal.”

"But if this is the case, wouldn't we have grabbed the order from Fukang Engineering? We are all Chinese companies, and if we grab the order at a low price, it won't be very honorable if word spreads about it!" someone else said.

Zhao Chengzhi curled his lips disdainfully: "When buying things, you have to choose high-quality and low-priced products! We sell cheaper and gain the favor of customers. This is normal business competition. There is nothing shameful!

Besides, this is 60 million US dollars! How can we not do such a big order? As for Fukang Engineering, it is not a leading company, so if you offend it, you will be offended! The scale of our Nanzhou Heavy Industry is larger than that of Fukang Engineering, so why are we still afraid of him? "

"But when we grab orders from our own people, it always gives people the feeling of fighting among themselves, and the orders have gone from 120 million to 60 million, which is cut in half at once. I'm afraid it's not easy for Zhou Ganjie and the foreign trade department to explain it. !” the man continued.

"What are you afraid of! Obtaining orders is the key these days. Once we get the order, it will be done. The original 120 million is gone anyway. Foreign trade cannot let these 6,000 Don’t you want ten thousand dollars in foreign exchange?”

Zhao Chengzhi continued carelessly: "Okay, let's forget about these trivial matters for now, and quickly calculate whether we can accept the products on the list for 60 million US dollars, and whether we will lose or make a profit if we accept them!"

Following Zhao Chengzhi's order, the others immediately began to calculate.

Those who could follow Zhao Chengzhi to Dubai were all business elites from Nanzhou Heavy Industry. They were naturally very familiar with product quotations, and they quickly calculated a result.

"Mr. Zhao, according to the current exchange rate, the products on the 60 million US dollar list are basically equal to the cost. Although we will not lose money, we will not make any money." His subordinates reported.

"Can't make money?" Zhao Chengzhi frowned and started to think.

"Mr. Zhao, this order is not profitable, so should we still accept it?" someone asked.

"Take it, of course you have to take it!" Zhao Chengzhi gradually relaxed his brows and said at the same time: "Didn't you just say that although it doesn't make money, it doesn't lose money either. As long as we don't lose money, we will do it!

Although there is no money to be made from this order, after all, the sales this time are in US dollars, and it is still exporting to earn foreign exchange. With a little operation, you can get some benefits from the foreign exchange bureau.

Moreover, if we can win such a large order at an international exhibition, if word spreads, our Nanzhou Heavy Industry will also be embarrassed. We can at least earn some face, right? "

Naravani put down the phone in his hand with a proud smile on his face.

During the day, a representative from China Nanzhou Heavy Industry came to Naravani and asked if there were any other orders besides the 120 million order, and said that their prices were also very cheap.

Nalawani suddenly thought of it. Since the price quoted by Nanzhou Heavy Industry was also very cheap, it would be better to have a two-horse competition.

So Naravani gave the product list to Zhao Chengzhi and quoted a price of US$60 million.

Naravani did not hide anything and told Zhao Chengzhi directly that this was the order from Fukang Engineering. If Nanzhou Heavy Industry was willing to accept it for US$60 million, then the order would belong to Nanzhou Heavy Industry.

Naravani also has three dates but no dates. After all, the US$70 million price quoted by Fukang Engineering is already relatively cheap. Nalawani just wanted to give it a try. If Nanzhou Heavy Industry's price was cheaper, wouldn't he be able to earn more?

The result was just as Naravani expected. Just now, he received a call from Zhao Chengzhi. Nanzhou Heavy Industries was willing to take over the product list at a price of 60 million US dollars.

For the same product, Fukang Engineering quoted a price of US$70 million, and there were additional conditions such as full payment within three months. However, Nanzhou Heavy Industry was willing to accept the order for US$60 million, and there were not so many additional conditions.

But in terms of amount, Naravani saved 10 million US dollars, and he didn't have to pay the full amount as soon as possible. This was a huge profit!

"Unexpectedly, Nanzhou Heavy Industries agreed to the offer of 60 million U.S. dollars! Are the Chinese just fighting among themselves, lowering the price to grab their own orders?

That Li Weidong seemed so smart, he probably didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of his compatriots. But that’s okay, it’s all yours. In the end, I got an advantage and I can earn an extra 10 million US dollars!

But 10 million US dollars doesn’t seem to be enough! If I take this price of 60 million and go to Fukang Engineering and force them to lower the price, they will probably agree, right?

Once Fukang Engineering agrees, I will go to Nanzhou Heavy Industry to lower the price. If we go back and forth like this, maybe the price can be lowered to 50 million US dollars, or even 40 million US dollars! I can earn more!

It’s settled like this, let Fukang Engineering and Nanzhou Heavy Industries compete with each other, and I, the fisherman, can benefit! "
