Chapter 763 Is it time to remedy now?

"Send it away? What does it mean!"

Stair stared at his partner.

Finney didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He sat down on a chair and said lightly, "That group of Chinese people wanted to purchase a batch of industrial control modules. I recommended them three models: fd301, ft5504 and ny4000, but they were not satisfied. I hope we can customize a module for them. You know, we have never made any customization for other companies."

"But we did make customizations for Shimanz." Steyer kindly reminded.

"That's not customization," Finney said. "That's what we worked with Himanz to develop new modules. They contributed some views on the prospects of technology application. These views are very valuable. We developed new modules based on their opinions."

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Steel gave up. "So, have these Chinese people put forward any opinions on the prospects of technology application?"

Finney shook his head, "They just put forward some requirements, and let me think about it. It seems that they proposed that the bus design should give different priorities to node information to meet different real-time needs. Also, they require the use of short frame structures to shorten transmission time and reduce interference rates. There are also some other concepts that have been proposed by the industry at present."

Steyer asked, “But we have not fulfilled these requirements in our products in the past. Isn’t this a good application prospect requirement?”

Finney said, "These theories are no longer novel. Our technical department has proposed to make such modules, but because of the cost limitations, we have not had time to develop them."

Steyer lured and said, "Then isn't it a good opportunity now? The Chinese people make such a request, and we develop new modules according to such requests and then sell them. Why do you refuse to cooperate with them?"

"I don't like Chinese people." Finney said proudly. "If Shimanz or Pumai made such a request to us, I think I would seriously consider it. But if Chinese people make such requests, I suspect they are just trying to keep up with the trend. These design concepts have just been proposed in the industry for only a year. Can Chinese people use such technology?"

Stair was speechless, and he had to admit that his partner might have been in the laboratory for too long and no longer knows the outside world.

"Fenny, I understand your mood. However, unfortunately, Shimanz has not recently had the requirement to develop new products. Pumai was once the absolute monopoly of concrete pump trucks, but now he has ranked second. Of course, I am talking about its sales volume. If calculated based on sales, it can barely maintain the first place. However, people familiar with the industry estimate that its position as the number one in sales is about to be unable to maintain. Do you know why?"

Finney shrugged, saying that he didn't know why, and that he was not interested in it. Fidelmann is a workmanship control module. No matter who is the first, don't he have to use the modules of their company?

Steyer sighed and said, "The one who snatched Pumai's business was the Chinese who came to visit our company two days ago. Hotby said in his message that one of the guests who visited was Mr. Yang, general manager of China Chenyu Engineering Machinery Company. His company is currently the largest sales company in the world. Many of Pumai's traditional customers have been snatched away by him."

"The Chinese are so despicable!" Finney said hatefully. He didn't know how Chenyu company competed for the market with Pumai, but Pumai was a European company, and Chenyu company was a Chinese company, which was enough to let him know how to take sides. Of course, it was the Chinese fault of the Chinese who stole the European market. Does this need to be discussed?

Steyer sighed again, and he was silent for a while, saying, "Maybe, but we don't need to care about who is mean. What we need to care about is who will be our big customers. Pumai's market share has decreased, and its demand for control modules will also be our big customers. Chenyu Company and another company called Luoye who came to visit us will be our big customers. We should take the demand for such big customers seriously."

"I respect them very much." Finney defended. "I have carefully read the requests they made and recommended three very mature modules to them. I think if they modify their design appropriately, using these three modules can fully realize the control tasks they want to complete without us developing new modules specifically for them. All three of our modules can meet the needs of customers in the European market. What reason does the Chinese say that they cannot use these modules?"

Steyer thought for a while and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Hotby again and let him persuade the Chinese to consider our very mature products. Can you write a technical report that these three modules can fully meet their needs, so that when I talk to them, I can also have a more professional statement."

"I have said this to them." Finney said, but after that, he agreed to Steel's request and said that he could write a brief explanation. If the Chinese cannot understand this explanation, it can only prove that they are not of sufficient level and are not worthy of entering the field of engineering machinery. Perhaps, the Chinese should engage in the textile industry. The clothing and shoes and socks they produce do meet the standards of quality and low price. Finney's own wear is Adeha.

Taking the technical instructions written by Finney in half an hour, Steel found a tavern and met Hortby alone. As soon as he met, Hortby turned his face long and accused him of Finney's inconvenience to Steel. Although Feng Xiaochen did not take his anger on Hortby because of the cold treatment he had received at Fidelman's company, Old Huo also experienced the coldness of death. How could he not know the ancient saying of the Lord humiliating the minister to die? He excitedly took Feng Xiaochen and his party to Fidelman's company to negotiate. He wanted to show his face in front of his behind-the-scenes boss, but he was disappointed. Can he not calculate this account with Steel?

"Staire, I took you as an old friend and took my Chinese partners to your company first. And your Mr. Finney is simply a bastard. He deeply hurts the feelings of my Chinese partners, and even the entire British companies have been implicated by him. My Chinese partners threatened that they would rather go to the European continent to find partners than deal with the arrogant British nobles." Hotby said angrily.

"Fenny has such a personality, you should know." Steel explained, and then asked carefully. "Hotby, what is the origin of the Chinese partner you are talking about? Why do I think you seem to care about him very much?"

"If I tell him, I think you will care more than me." Hotby sneered. Of course, he could not say that Feng Xiaochen was his de facto employer, but Feng Xiaochen's true identity was enough to make Steele pay attention. This is the basis for Hotby's courage to make harsh words in front of Steele.

"Mr. Feng Xiaochen, who visited your company that day, was the general manager of China Equipment Industry Group Corporation." Hotby said, "Steel, I suggest you learn more about China from now on. China is now one of the most worthy equipment industry powers in the world. The Equipment Industry Group Corporation where Mr. Feng is located is an institution specifically responsible for coordinating the research and development and manufacturing of heavy equipment in China. This institution is not so much a company, but a component of the Chinese government, with very strong power and can affect the decisions of all equipment manufacturing companies."

"Are you talking about the Planning Commission of the former Soviet Union? As far as I know, only the Planning Commission of the former Soviet Union has had such great power in human history." Steel said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

The former Soviet Union's Planning Commission was definitely a legendary place in the West, able to manage all affairs of the people across the country from cradle to grave. In fact, the Planning Commission of China in the early years also had similar powers, but because China's national strength was weak at that time and had no sense of existence in the West, what Steel could remember was the Planning Commission of the former Soviet Union.

Hotby also grew up in a Western cultural atmosphere, but he had more knowledge of China. He said, "The former Soviet Union's Planning Committee you mentioned has become a thing of the past, but China still retains their Planning Committee, but now it has been renamed the National Development and Reform Commission. My friend, Mr. Feng Xiaochen, happens to be an official of the China National Development and Reform Commission. The National Equipment Industry Group Corporation he is in charge of is directly affiliated with this committee and implements various policies on behalf of this committee."

In 2003, China carried out a new round of institutional reforms, and the Economic and Trade Commission was abolished. The functions related to economic management were incorporated into the newly established Development and Reform Commission, while the functions related to trade were merged into the Ministry of Commerce. As an institution responsible for coordinating the research and development of major equipment in the country, the equipment company was naturally transferred to the Development and Reform Commission directly. This information was just mentioned to Hotby. Hotby learned and sold it now, and just took it out to scare Steel.

"So that's how it is." Steel felt a little big. Steel didn't understand the names of the institutions Hotby said, but he could understand what Hotby wanted to express. The "Chinese partner" Hotby claimed was a very good person and had a lot of power in his hands. When this person visited Fidelman's company, he was criticized by Finney. The leader was very angry and the consequences were very serious.

"Hotby, I'm blaming this."

After understanding this joint, Steyer quickly apologized and said, "I shouldn't have left Finney to receive your client. He is a person who is unkind and unkind. He offended your friend, not intentionally. Hotby, what I want to know is, is it still time for me to start remedial now?"
