Qiu Yuling had never revealed any of her arrangements and plans to anyone in advance.
So much so that the people who attended the meeting were all shocked. Could it be that their factory director was playing such a big game?
"Let's report first."
This is a big deal, and she can't give in no matter who comes.
A response came quickly. "Comrade Qiu Yuling's considerations are not unreasonable, and can even be considered far-sighted. A second item will be drafted to include R&D funds in the initial cost of the machinery..."
After receiving the receipt from the higher-ups, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce held an urgent meeting. "Since the higher-ups have agreed, the meat is already rotten in the pot, so let's sign the agreement."
"I think it's okay. Comrade, you have some skills..."
The R&D costs accounted for one-tenth of the total cost of the machine, a result that shocked everyone present.
"Director Qiu, isn't it too high?" Minister Luan gave a timely reminder.
Qiu Yuling patiently explained, "Dear leaders, future technological development is the driving force. The implementation of scientific research data consumes enormous manpower and material resources, as well as the cost of repeated failures.
And when you spread it out among the future profits, it's not worth mentioning anymore. Just think about it, if we don't have the funds and ability to master a certain technology ourselves and rely entirely on imports, how much would this equipment cost?"
Several people looked at each other. They certainly knew the sky-high prices of imported equipment, but compared to this, it was indeed not much!
"Okay, then, let's draw it up according to this ratio."
After seeing off the central government leaders, several deputy factory directors looked incredibly surprised, mixed with an inexplicable excitement, "Factory Director..."
Not long after they left, the Lan Machinery Factory heard the news and came. They immediately approached the old man to chat about the past and said that the yard was well kept for him. The family compound was now sufficient and had been vacated and renovated long ago.
“…You are welcome to come back at any time and give us guidance.”
The old man smiled wryly, "I'm doing fine here. Now I've been rehired. Even though I'm an old man, I have to keep my word. I can't let down the Zaohua workers at this critical moment..."
"Of course, of course. You've always been serious and responsible. We came here mainly to ask you about the processing..."
"I'm in charge of the technology. Important matters like these have to be decided by the factory leaders. My opinion doesn't count."
The visitor still had a smile on his face. Everyone knew that he was the factory director's godfather. However, the old man had always had a bad temper and was strange, so no one cared about it.
Since Qiu Yuling hasn't shown up yet, she has to ask her uncle to vent the anger that has been pent up in his heart.
When she thought the stretch was almost done, she returned from Wu City. "Deputy Director Hua, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I went to the city to report on my work. They are assigning tasks for next year..."
Hua Chunfeng was flattered. He didn't expect that the rumored Director Qiu would explain all this to him.
Feeling a little relieved, I took out the speech I had prepared long ago and got down to business after the pleasantries.
Qiu Yuling listened patiently and finally asked him, "Where's the business plan?"
"What? What book?"
"Your factory is interested in OEM business. Do you have any specific plans and cooperation plans?"
Deputy Director Hua was confused, thinking that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission had already signed an agreement with them, so wouldn't it be fine if they just followed this?
He just opened his mouth and said what he was thinking.
Qiu Yuling stood up and refilled his tea. "You don't understand. Bincheng is no longer a contract manufacturer. They can produce independently. It's just that we hold the technical patents, so we can't buy and sell directly..."
You want to process parts for future R&D equipment, so that requires a different approach."
Qiu Yuling picked up the teacup, blew away the tea foam, and waited quietly for his response.
Hua Chunfeng originally thought that it was a sure thing, but he got stuck during his opening remarks.
Qiu Yuling maintained her initial enthusiasm. "If Director Hua is interested, we can go back and have a meeting to discuss. We'll definitely go with the one that offers the best deal. Who would choose a place far away over one close by? Besides, we have to take care of our hometown..."
It's just a different way of bidding.
They had no money and lacked the technology to purchase the previous equipment, so they went to Bincheng with a lot of uncertainty. However, these two diaper and sanitary napkin lines will bring in a steady stream of income in the future.
They have enough funds to disassemble the new project, outsource it to different manufacturers, and finally have their own engineers assemble it to protect the core technology from being leaked.
Hua Chunfeng stood up and said goodbye, and he had a new understanding of the strength of this female comrade.
If it were them, they would not think about the subsequent complications after the SASAC did this, but she did not. She was the type who would take advantage of others.
As soon as Hua Chunfeng and his companions left, the old man rushed in and said, "Yuling, the yard is back. It's a gift for you and Xingyao..."
Qiu Yuling looked at the old man helplessly, and the old man realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. "No, well, I just came to ask why that Hua kid left with such a sullen face."
"To vent your anger, I didn't agree to them!" Qiu Yuling said half-truthfully.
The old man believed it all and jumped up on the spot, "This, this, is not appropriate?"
Of course it is inappropriate. Qiu Yuling has always kept her public and private lives separate, and even if she did, she would not show it in public.
She briefly explained the situation. "Let's see what Deputy Director Hua and the others decide when they get back. If things aren't going well, we're already old friends at Bincheng Machinery Factory. We can sell it off and still earn research and development funds, so it's not impossible..."
The old man was moved and felt relieved.
Since everything has been exposed, I might as well ask for clarification. "Xingyao, that kid, he's been acting like a fool all day long, just working with his head down. He doesn't even say a word when I ask him questions.
Tell me what your plan is. I told them to prepare in advance."
The old man is more eager than anyone else to have his adopted granddaughter become his biological granddaughter.
Qiu Yuling collected the teacup used by the guest and brewed a new cup of Sanpaotai tea for the old man.
"Master, why are you asking me about this? You too, don't you treat me like a girl anymore?"
Expectation and confusion turned into surprise, and the old man wished he could have a thousand-mile hand to catch his grandson back.
"Yes, that's right. That boy should bring up this matter first. Don't worry, Yuling, if others have it, I will never let them lose it to you.
Let’s have a big one, a lively one.”
Seeing that the old man was getting more and more outrageous, Qiu Yuling said, "Uncle, please don't mention the big event. My current status is not easy to publicize." Besides, she didn't care about that.
The old man forced himself to calm down. "Yes, we can't make it public. Then let's do it in a small way, bringing the relatives from both sides together. It won't be a good show, but it will definitely be effective. I'll go back today..."
