What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 57 Trust
"Diu, business is business, life is life."

Chen Xiaojie had always been controlled by his brother-in-law in his hometown, so coming to Echeng naturally allowed him to be free.

He thought Tang Wen was a fellow traveler, but it turned out to be a younger version of his brother-in-law.

After hugging the shamatte girl again, Chen Xiaojie reluctantly got back to work:
"We do need a new diesel engine channel. I've seen diesel engines that are still usable, but they need to be from a regular manufacturer that provides quality assurance and sufficient spare parts."

“No problem, these diesel engines are all manufactured by Gaijin Shipyard, and we will provide three months of free after-sales and warranty services.

Gaijin is a large enterprise capable of manufacturing thousand-ton fishing vessels and has sufficient credibility and strength."

After Tang Wen finished speaking, Chen Xiaojie finally felt relieved.

He also saw the news about Gaijin Shipyard in the newspaper. Since they could really provide endorsement, there was no need to worry about warranty issues.

"Second request, can Gaijin provide logistics?"

"logistics?"

Tang Wen frowned. This was beyond his expectations.

Manufacturers usually outsource shipments to external logistics companies, and don’t often do it themselves.

But for Tang Wen, it was not long ago that the truck delivering the diesel engine was robbed.

The distance from Echeng to Guangxi Province is at least five or six hundred kilometers, and there is no highway along the entire route, so it is very dangerous.

The cost is secondary, but it would be troublesome if the convoy lost time and manpower due to robbery.

Tang Wen thought for a moment and replied:

"I can try to find a logistics team, but the transportation costs need to be negotiated."

However, Chen Xiaojie shook his head vigorously:
“The fleet is unreliable, and they mix it with other things. The distance is too far and it takes too long, and it is easy to damage things.

The Yuchai diesel engines we bought before were all delivered to our door. A diesel engine costs at least hundreds of thousands of yuan, so it must be delivered by the manufacturer.”

Before Tang Wen traveled through time, he was also considered an industrialist. He immediately remembered that Yuchai Power was a local enterprise in Guangxi Province, and would later become a domestic diesel engine giant alongside Xichai and Weichai.

But now their products can only be said to be well-deserved industrial waste. The key is... Yuchai is in your province, so providing logistics is certainly not a big deal.

Tang Wen was speechless for a moment, then asked:
"Where does the Sanwang plant need to be delivered?"

"Guigang."

Tang Wen immediately waved his hand, and then the driver Tang Feng took out a detailed map from his bag.

He bought this in town. In the days before electronic navigation, people had to rely on this thing to travel.

GG City on the map is close to the Yongjiang River and is the main source of local timber. It connects the Xunjiang River and the Xijiang River and can reach the Zhongshan seaport directly.

In fact, a large amount of timber is transported out of Guigang itself by water.

Tang Wen's expression immediately relaxed. If Guigang could reach the sea directly, then it would be entirely possible to take the water route.

Inland vessels depart directly from Dayuan Village, enter the Xijiang River along the coast, and go upstream.

The distance is at most one thousand kilometers, and it can be delivered by ship in two days without any risk.

It is not difficult to build a small inland boat, and the fuel consumption is not worth mentioning.

Tang Wen immediately spread out the map and told Chen Xiaojie his idea of ​​water transportation.

Seeing this, the latter nodded repeatedly. He asked foreign manufacturers to contract the transportation because he was afraid of the risks on the road, but water transportation was much safer.

"No problem, if it's water transport, you just need to deliver it to Guigang Port, and then we can pull it back ourselves.

And then…the third thing.”

Tang Wenzhen listened attentively, but suddenly there was no movement. He looked up and saw Chen Xiaojie shut his mouth and looked at him silently.

"..."

"..." Confused, Tang Wen couldn't help but glance at Wu Laoer, and saw the latter blinking wildly and rubbing his fingers secretly.

"Oh~"

Tang Wen suddenly realized and sat up straight.

MD, they didn't ask about the diesel engine parameters, and they only mentioned the warranty and after-sales service. Apart from logistics, they didn't care about anything else.

The key to the relationship is not the product, but the rebate, right?

Tang Wen was not a complete novice. Even if he had not eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. He immediately stretched out three fingers.

Although I don’t know much about it, for the manufacturing industry, 3 points is enough, right?
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaojie showed a smile that was not commensurate with his age and opened his palms.

5 points?!
This is your brother-in-law's factory. Is it necessary to be so cruel?

Tang Wen's eyes became strange. Could he be a liar?
Perhaps seeing what he was thinking, Chen Xiaojie let go of the killer next to him, picked up the glass and came over to toast, then sat down next to Tang Wen and whispered:
"Boss Tang, your 25-horsepower diesel engine is only 8000 yuan, which is too cheap. People are rushing to buy it for 9000 yuan.

Don’t quality assurance and logistics also have costs? At 9000 yuan per unit, we can handle at least 50 units every month.

Our Sanwang is a well-known brand in Guangxi Province, with sales of nearly 100 units a month. If we use other manufacturers, they will definitely use them too."

Although what Chen Xiaojie said was very tempting, Tang Wen was still extremely cautious. How could he trust someone after only meeting him once?

Seeing that Tang Wen was unmoved, Chen Xiaojie sighed and continued in a low voice:
“I didn’t take these five points alone, I mainly took them for my brother-in-law.

We don't own the Sanwang factory, and they're trying to kick my brother-in-law out. I really need a cheaper, higher-quality source. Right now, Yuchai's 28-horsepower engine is over 15 yuan, and the -horsepower one is yuan. Your product is very competitive.

If you're worried, wait until I bring back two samples, and my brother-in-law will contact you then."

"..."

Tang Wen didn't want to listen to these intrigues, so he coughed and called Wu Laoer, who came over immediately.

"This is Mr. Wu, the general manager of our Gaijin Power Technology Company... Manager Wu. He will be in charge of the foreign trade of diesel engines. He will discuss the details with you and provide samples.

Manager Wu, is everything ok? "

"No, no problem, leave it all on me!"

What else could Wu Laoer say? The moment he saw the phone, he knew that he had to follow Tang Wen to the end. What's more, he has now become the general manager in one fell swoop, which is like a ugly duckling turning into a phoenix.

Seeing Wu Laoer's suppressed excitement, Tang Wen called Tang Fei over and took out a mobile phone from the latter.

I bought a walk last time, and this one doesn’t have an owner yet.

In front of Chen Xiaojie, he stuffed the phone into Wu Laoer's hands:

"The mobile phone cards we collectively bought for the executives last time are now usable. The company will keep the phone bill. If you need a car, just call."

Chen Xiaojie was dumbfounded watching from the side. They were providing him with a mobile phone and sending a car. The Gaijin Shipyard was much more generous than the Sanwang Shipyard, and he only had a pager.

"Don't worry, boss, I promise to complete the task."

If there were no outsiders present, Wu Laoer would have wanted to swear an oath on the spot by pointing his finger at the strait to prove his loyalty.

Tang Wen no longer planned to stay here. This was his second formal business cooperation with Chen Xiaojie in this era, and the experience was terrible.

The expected suit-style meeting with cappuccino was not going on. If it continued, it would probably involve karaoke, foot washing and massage. It would be better to leave it to Wu Laoer.

The latter also knew that Tang Wen might not like this kind of occasion, so he said at the right time:

"Boss, don't you have to meet Director Zhao today? It's almost time now, right?"

Tang Wen nodded, apologized to Chen Xiaojie, and then decided to leave. Before leaving, he glanced at the Shamatte girl in the box, put his hand on Wu Laoer's shoulder, and whispered:
"How can a general manager do without two secretaries? You have to figure it out yourself."

　Another year has passed unknowingly, as if in a dream. I wish you all a happy new year!
