Hongshan Port is a large-scale coal export terminal built by the state since the late 1970s, and undertakes the task of transporting coal from Shanbei Province and Beining Province to the south and exporting it overseas.The construction of Hongshan Port is extremely large, has completed two phases of construction, is under construction in the third phase, there are four, five, six, etc., and finally only the coal throughput capacity will reach more than 200 million tons, this scale in the world is also one of the best.

The positioning of Hongshan Port is very high, and it has aimed at the international advanced level from the beginning of construction, requiring the full automation of coal unloading and loading.In the major projects previously responsible for the re-installation office, it included the Hongshan Port and the supporting heavy-duty coal railway line.

Due to the limitations of the domestic technical level, many automation equipment in Hongshan Port is heavily dependent on imports, and the automatic unloading system of the third phase project is entrusted to the German Paoweng company as a general contractor, and several Chinese companies have subcontracted some sub-projects, but the core part of the technology is in Pawohang's hands.

Perhaps knowing that his technology is irreplaceable, Peverhorn is very proud from top to bottom.Equipment industry companies have come forward to negotiate with Pawoheng many times, hoping that they can transfer part of the technology to China during the construction process, even if some fees are charged, the Chinese side can also agree.But Pawoheng was dismissive of China's request, saying that it was possible to help China with projects, but it was impossible to transfer technology.

In recent years, the state has adopted the "market for technology" approach, from many large foreign enterprises to change a lot of core technology, Feng Xiaochen for this set of practices is also familiar with the road.But who ever thought that this method in front of Pa Wohang but hit the wall, people bite, that is, do not agree to transfer technology, you Chinese do not want to cooperate with us, from us to send Wohang, who can help you build this automatic unloading system?

Feng Xiaochen was still assistant general manager at that time, personally participated in several negotiations with Pevohen, repeatedly angry with the smoke, went back to find a corner desperately painted a small circle curse this group of cattle baking Germans.The curse is a curse, and in the end, the Chinese side still had to bow down and give the project to Pavong.Hongshan Port is a big project, automatic unloading system is an important part of the three-term project, this part if delayed, the entire three-term project can not be put into operation on time, so the port construction company is really not brave and Pi Woheng.

What Feng Xiaochen did not expect was that Pawhorn was actually bankrupt, and he did not know whether the small circles of Feng Xiaochen had played a role.Hearing that Pawogen was bankrupt, Feng Xiaochen's first feeling was definitely not schadenfreude, and he turned his eyes to Tian Yaorui and Weng Sihong of the Hongshan Port Construction Company, and cried in his heart: This is troublesome!

"General Tian, automatic unloading system, how much has been completed so far?"Feng Zhichen asked Tian Yaoli across the table.

“It’s done 30 percent.”Tian Yauri said.

“Did you bring all the rest of the equipment?”

“Only 20 per cent came in Germany, and 50 per cent in Germany.”

“Have you been in touch with Peverhall?”

“I’ve been contacted.”

“What do they say?”

“I can’t get in touch...” Tian Yaorui showed a face of pain.

The news of the bankruptcy of the company, the construction company of Hongshan Port District still heard from the staff of Pawohang in charge of the installation work in Hongshan Port, and Pawohang did not think of saying hello to its customers.Tian Yaorui is meeting in Beijing these days, heard the port area call to report the matter, he immediately arranged for people to confirm the reliability of the news, and let the business department urgently contact the headquarters of the company, ask the truth of the matter and how the company intends to recover.

Unexpectedly, the business department made a call in the past, no one answered at all, it seems that the company is not bankrupt, but directly hit a bomb, the whole company from the executives to the following clerk collective destroyed.The Pawohang employees in the port of Red Mountain were able to contact the company, and the company gave them instructions to them to leave their jobs and immediately return to Germany, which was said to be late and could not get even severance pay.

“What’s this special?”Feng Xiaochen heard the explosion, the company bankruptcy, this is no one wants to see things, can also be regarded as force majeure.But even if they are bankrupt, they will always have to explain half of the project, right?There is a direct reason for the pick.A project has just completed 30%, another 20% of the equipment has been shipped, has not yet completed the arrangement, the other 50% of the equipment has not been shipped, and even whether it has been produced has not been verified.In this case, Pawoheng's pick is equivalent to putting the Red Mountain Port area in mid-air, and it is not allowed to go up and down.

There is no business ethics!Not at all about credit!”Weng Sihong, chief engineer of the port construction company, also said indignantly.Because they have to wait for officials from the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Electronics, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and other ministries, there is no official meeting at this time, and they can hold a small meeting below.

“Is the staff of Peverhen going away?”Feng Xiaochen was calm for a little while, and he asked Tian Yaorui.

Tian Yauri said: "When they got the news, it was more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and even if they wanted to leave Hongshan City, they no longer had a car."I just called back and asked, they are all packing, ready to take the train back to Beijing tomorrow morning, and then take the plane back to Germany from Beijing.I asked some of the family leaders to do the work for them, hoping that they would stay for a while, at least if they were done and then leave.”

“Did they promise?”Feng Xiaochen asked again.

Tian Yauri said: "There is news from home that these Germans are difficult to communicate.The rest of them have always been like this, they are alone, and they do not communicate with the people on our side at all.Now that their company is out of business, they're even more constrained, and it's probably difficult for them to stay."

“This can’t!”Feng Xiaochen said flatly that he looked at Qu Jianzhong and said, "Chief Qu, there is one thing I think needs to be fixed first, and I can't wait for others to come, otherwise it will be too late."

Qu Jianzhong was just discussing this matter with several cadres in the committee, and when he heard Feng Xiaochen's words, he looked up and asked, "You say, what is it?"

“Now there are dozens of Pawohang employees on the side of Hongshan Port, and they have been instructed by the company to return to Germany immediately.Just now, General Manager Tian told me that these people are not even willing to complete the work transfer and are ready to leave Hongshan early tomorrow morning.My opinion is that they must not be allowed to leave like this, the company is not bankrupt, we can't handle it, but half the work is done and thrown away directly, which is absolutely unacceptable."Feng Xiaochen said.

He paused for a moment and asked, “What are you going to do?”

Feng Xiaochen said: "First salute and then soldier."Do the work with them first, let them complete the assigned tasks before leaving, and the salary for this period can be paid by us.If they don't want to stay, the minimum requirement is to have a handover to our engineers, or at least to let us know how far they have done."

“But what if they don’t even agree to this request?”Qian Jian asked.

He smiled coldly and said, “That’s not enough for them.”

Tian Yaorui, Weng Sihong and others were shocked and asked in unison: "Feng, what do you mean?"You’re not saying you’re going to take them down, are you?”

Feng Xiaochen asked, “Why not?”

“They are foreign guests!”

“What happened to the foreign guest?”Can a foreigner play the cow?”Feng Xiaochen said disdainfully, "We have money, they are doing the work of money, that is, they are employed by us."Now the work is not done, they do not even do the handover, they want to leave, what is the reason?This is the ground of China, can they do whatever they want?”

"This..." Tian Yaorui was a little uncertain, and he turned his eyes to Qu Jian.

Qu Jianzhong paused for a moment and nodded and said, "What Xiao Feng said is reasonable, the investment in the automatic unloading system is 80 million marks, and now we have paid 40 million, and they have only completed 30% of the workload, which is to say that we owe money."If we let them go like this, no one knows what degree of work has been done, and whether we take over it ourselves or ask other Western companies to take over, we will spend a lot of time and money to figure out the previous progress, which is unacceptable to us.

These workers should be done by the rules and morals, and we should seriously hand over them, otherwise they will be malfeasance.We have taken some hard-line measures against those who are malfeasance, and we cannot overdo it.”

Tian Yaorui's eyes lit up: "Director Qu, do you really think so?"

“Yes, we cannot afford to lose.”The curts said.

“Very good!”Tian Yaorui patted his thighs, “I’ll call home and let them leave people behind.”The port area is still more than 20 kilometers from the city of Hongshan, as long as we do not send them cars, they can not leave the port area.

Feng Xiaochen snorted coldly and said, “General Tian, you are still too soft.”Now is not to give them the problem of not sending them a car, but to directly restrict their personal freedom.In this way, you immediately call the port area and let them arrange for the guards to house the house arrest of all the staff of the Pai Wohang, not to let them leave half a step, dare to forcefully leave, directly handcuffed!”

“The handcuffs!”Tian Yaorui cold one, handcuffed the foreign guests, this kind of words also Feng Xiaochen dared to say, but he did not even dare to listen.

Qu Jianzhong said next to him, saying: "You can not use it without coercion."But if they don't obey the management, they have to make trouble, and when it's tough, we're also tough, you don't have to be afraid, make trouble, and help you carry it."

“Understood!”Tian Yaorui got the authorization of Qu Jianjian, courage suddenly enough, he took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and then began to send an order: "Little Shao, you now contact the port police station, let them send all the police force, the expert building to me!"
