High Quality and Low Price
Chapter 490:High Quality and Low Price
Go out, “That seems reasonable!”
As soon as Feng Xiaochen said it, African officials had a clear expression on their faces.Regarding China's industrial level, they really can't say, but they think it seems to be bad, and there should be a generational difference with Western countries.But when it comes to two bombs and one star, everyone has heard of it, and knows that it is a symbol of high technology.A country that can independently make two bombs and one star, the industrial level should be quite high, right?
“This guy dares to blow!”
Sitting under the stage of the king's foundation is a sigh, as a person in the bureau, he knows that Feng Xiaochen this is a change of concept, that is, to bully these African officials lack of industrial common sense.
Two bombs and one star are indeed high-tech performances, but they can make two bombs and one star, and they are not comparable to being able to create a hot-milled production line that reaches the world's advanced level.
First of all, two bombs and one star belong to the technology that gathers the strength of the whole country, as a poor country, China cannot invest in every field, so it is impossible to have the same achievements in every field.In fact, by this time, China was able to acquire the high-tech of its power, that is, two bombs and one star plus nuclear submarines, and the level of other fields is even comparable to that of some small countries in Europe.Feng Xiaochen used this example to prove that China's industrial level is very high, in fact, it is untenable.
Secondly, two bombs and one star as a strategic product, in terms of cost performance need not be considered, as long as it can be created is successful.Civil products, including various industrial equipment products, need to consider economic.For example, a car, if you are carefully carved, the quality will certainly be better, but consumers will not buy it, because the price of the car produced is too high, beyond the affordability of consumers.
In fact, in the 1980s, the vast majority of China's industrial technology level is seriously backward compared with Western countries, Feng Xiaochen here is only to take advantage of African officials unfamiliar with the international market characteristics, to give them some false impressions.
"In the early years, our own basic industrial system in China has not yet been built, so our equipment industry mainly provides services for the country.After more than 30 years of construction, China has now formed a complete industrial system, with an annual output of 50 million tons of steel, 160 million tons of cement, 1 million tons of chemical fiber, 14 million tons of fertilizer, 400,000 vehicles and many other industrial products production capacity.
In addition to completing the domestic industrial construction, we have not forgotten that our African brothers are willing to use the technology we have to help African countries achieve their own industrialization and share industrial civilization.This time, the 1700 mm hot-mill project of the Avarre Batin steel plant was just a little bit of work for our African brothers.We are also willing to build power plants, steel plants, fertilizer plants, oil refineries for more African countries, in short, we are here to serve African brothers, African brothers will find that China is your best friend, China's equipment is the most suitable for Africa."
Feng Xiaochen waved his arm and said extremely incredulity.At this moment, he remembered those who were saved in the future, and the level of brainwashing of those people was probably not the same.
“Mr. Feng, our feelings for our African countries have moved us very much.However, what do you mean that only Chinese equipment is the most suitable for Africa, can you explain it?”
Among a group of African officials, one stood up and asked Feng Xiaoming with a slightly nervous tone.His face did not seem so different from the faces of the other Africans beside him, that he muttered in his heart secretly: "How can I not look very similar to this brother, who was the career that Gajan brought me last night?"
Whether this person is a pre-arranged trust for Gajan, the question he asks is indeed what Feng Zhichen needs.He smiled and said, "This gentleman's question, I'm afraid, is also of interest to many of my friends here?"Mr. Prime Minister, can you allow me to take a few more minutes to explain this to you?”
"I think it's possible."Sitting behind him, he turned to the Prime Minister and said something to the Prime Minister, who nodded, and Gejan said, "Mr. Feng, since it was our guest who asked the question, please explain it to you."
“Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, and thank you to Minister Gejan.”
Feng Xiaochen thanked him, and then turned back to the whole place and said:
"I say that China's equipment products are the most suitable for African brothers, for three reasons.First, China, like all African countries, is a developing country, so our industrial equipment is suitable for the level of developing countries, especially for countries with small populations.For example, we are able to provide 100MW-class thermal power equipment, 20,000 to 50,000 tons of synthetic ammonia equipment, which is fully suitable for use in countries with a population size of one million.In Western countries, thermal power equipment is generally 600MW, and synthetic ammonia equipment is 300,000 tons, and the input required for this level of equipment is quite a part of the country can not afford.
Below came the buzzing sound, many people's faces showed "with my heart" expression, obviously Feng Xiaochen said that they went to their hearts.
The development trend of the world industry is large-scale, the efficiency of large-scale equipment is much higher than that of small equipment, and the energy consumption of a set of 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia devices may only be equivalent to half or less of 6 sets of 50,000-ton equipment, which determines that Western equipment companies should continue to eliminate small equipment and focus on the manufacture of large-scale equipment.
For many African countries, the funds needed to build a large-scale equipment are unaffordable, because per capita income is too low, and these countries themselves cannot absorb the capacity of large-scale equipment, so large-scale equipment is completely chicken ribs for them.
For example, the residents of a western country may use 4,000 degrees a year, and a Western country with a population of 1 million needs 6,000MW of electricity installed capacity, equivalent to 10 600MW units.The residents of an African country have less than 200 degrees of electricity a year, and two 150MW units are enough to supply the whole country.
Western equipment companies focus on developed countries or large developing countries, who care about the needs of small African countries.The responses received by some African countries in their attempts to procure some small equipment from Western countries were often disappointing.Now Feng Zhichen claims that China can provide this level of equipment, how can not make them feel bright.
They do not know that the real reason why China is willing to provide small equipment is not because of kindness, but because China's technical level is limited to this.In terms of synthetic ammonia devices, 20,000 to 50,000 tons of equipment, China can make.But 300,000 tons of equipment, the core technology is still in the hands of foreigners, China is still in the stage of introducing technology and digestion technology, even import substitution is very reluctant, let alone export.On this point, Feng Xiaochen certainly will not say, if someone wants to question this, he can also say with his neck: bigger equipment we can also build, but can you afford it?
“The second point!”
Feng Xiaochen did not let everyone continue to talk about it, and then threw out his second reason:
“China’s equipment is cheap.The hot-buted production line you see now, the Western countries' quotations are generally about 300 million to 350 million US dollars, while our offer is only 240 million US dollars, 20% to 30% lower than Western countries.Moreover, the equipment provided by China is also inexpensive in the subsequent maintenance and maintenance, and the average maintenance cost is more than 50% lower than that of Western countries.”
As soon as this came out, the pot was opened again:
“What, this production line is only 240 million?”It's too cheap, and I remember Gajan telling us in the past that he was going to spend $400 million."
"A device can be 20% to 30% cheaper, which is really tempting ah, now who is not short of foreign exchange?" 」
"The maintenance cost is also a pit, our country from the United States introduced a set of printing equipment, looking for manufacturers to change parts to spend thousands of dollars, simply to steal money!"If the Chinese equipment, as Mr. said, the maintenance costs could be reduced by 50 per cent, the savings would be considerable.”
“...”
"Mr. Feng, can I ask you, what is the 50,000 tons of ammonia equipment you just mentioned, and what is your offer?"
Just now the child caretsing spoke again, Feng Xiaochen would like to give him an optimal award, because if no one asked questions, he was really not able to say too much.
"A set of 50,000 tons of ammonia synthesis equipment, plus supporting 80,000 tons of urea equipment, our approximate price is 12 million US dollars, the specific price needs to be calculated according to the actual situation, here I can not answer you."Feng Xiaochen replied apologetically.
“$12 million?That, my God, is what we want!”
A black uncle couldn’t help but stand up and shouted.He was the economy minister of a country who was busy planning the introduction of a set of fertilizer equipment.His men have gone to some Western countries' equipment companies to inquire about the price, some companies claim that they have no longer produce this specification of synthetic ammonia devices, and some companies say that they can customize it for them, but the price should be slightly floated, such as 30 million or 40 million US dollars.
The economy minister has reported to the cabinet that he is ready to take a step back, and then spend about 20 million US dollars to introduce a 30,000-ton device and is currently looking for suppliers.Who would have thought that the Chinese official on the stage claimed that a 50,000-ton device would cost only $12 million, which was 20 percent lower than the Western offer, and that it was only 40 percent or less.
“Sir, I would like to ask, what is your offer for a 100MW coal-fired power generation facility?”
“We want to build a 50MW hydropower plant, can you provide turbine equipment?”
“Sir, we need a 600-meter ironmaking blaster...”
Almost everyone stood up, and everyone no longer needed to wait for Feng Xiaochen to say other reasons.
Cheaper, what’s the reason for this?
