Everyone wants to ride the waves, but strength may not necessarily allow it. Whoever has the ability must get there, especially people like Li Ming who are highly educated and courageous.
Li Ming nodded. The next day at the machine tool exhibition, the delegation went to the German equipment exhibition hall again. It was almost the same as the previous times. The staff in the German equipment exhibition hall were not very cold towards Li Ming and his gang.
Even though the other party has shown great interest in this set of equipment, the more so, the more arrogant the other party becomes. After all, it can be seen that the Chinese are determined to obtain this set of equipment.
This is like being in love. A seductive woman will definitely not look good for a minute when faced with a licking dog that she doesn't want to marry. The same is true for this German company.
In the huge exhibition hall, several large machine tools were displayed there. The equipment was not produced, and the door of the machine tool was opened. When the reception staff of the other party faced the Chinese enterprise delegation, they mainly received the leaders of the group and the rest. The other party didn't even bother to give me any information. Li Ming walked to the machine tool and carefully inspected every structure of the machine tool.
I kept comparing it with Ji Donglai's equipment in my mind. Sure enough, the design of the material inlet was much smaller than that of Ji Donglai's equipment, and the material outlet was also very small.
Li Ming picked up the camera and prepared to take a picture, but didn't want to block it with one hand.
"You are from a country that doesn't allow us to take photos with our equipment. Why are you so rude?"
A white-skinned staff member yelled at Li Ming loudly, and the translator rushed over to ask for help. He immediately translated for Li Ming, and his words were full of rudeness.
"Photography is not allowed, is it written there? Why are you so unqualified? Which country are you from?"
Li Ming held the mobile phone in his hand, looked around, and the translator pointed to the sign above.
"here!"
"I'm sorry, I can't read German. Can you at least hang a universal logo? Besides, if I don't look at the connection dimensions of your equipment, how can I know whether our raw materials can be used? It doesn't make sense!"
Li Ming was a little helpless as he was not allowed to take pictures.
At least this is obviously different from Ji Donglai, who almost opened up to Li Ming to take pictures. .
"Our equipment is the most advanced in the world. If you buy our complete set of equipment, we will have specialized technical personnel for training. There is no need to doubt this. All you need to do is place an order and then we will help you implement the equipment. function."
"Furthermore, our equipment operation interface is also in English and German. You need someone to learn German before you can talk to us. Our equipment is sold all over the world, so it will not be unusable."
The person in charge of translating for the machine tool factory was an international student who already had a German green card. When translating, he spoke as arrogantly as the Germans. Although he had black hair and yellow eyes, he still disliked Li Ming.
Li Ming felt very unhappy. At this time, the group leader had already stood behind Li Ming, and Li Ming suppressed his anger.
"So if our factory needs to purchase your equipment and make corresponding modifications, can you help us complete it? How will it be charged? Can you explain to us the relevant aspects first?"
Patiently, Li Ming took out the questions he had prepared. The translator could not help but frown. After all, as an equipment factory, the other party had never been asked such questions before. He was secretly unhappy in his heart. He thought that the things of the Chinese were really special. So much.
Turning around, the other party hurriedly translated with the equipment factory staff in a very polite tone. The equipment factory staff couldn't help but frown, but in order to show politeness, the other party did not explode, but kept waving their hands.
It could be seen from the other party's gestures that the other party was unhappy with Li Ming's question. The translator kept nodding, then turned to Li Ming and immediately changed his attitude.
"Sir, we are a machine tool factory and we will provide some solutions, but we do not include things that are not within the scope of our services. I would like to reiterate to you again that our machine tools are the most advanced machine tools in the world, not the backward machinery of your country. equipment."
"Our machine tools are already perfect and do not need any modifications. If modifications are needed, it proves that you need
Upgrade our own backward production methods instead of requiring our equipment to meet your backward production methods. "
"So please don't ask this question again. We are very busy. If you want to buy equipment, please strictly follow our requirements to build the corresponding facilities and provide the corresponding supporting facilities. If there is no such supporting facilities, we will not be able to sell the equipment to you." you."
"In addition, our equipment is not sold to every buyer who needs our equipment. If you want to buy our equipment, you first need to have sufficient qualifications. We serve users around the world, but it does not mean that we can satisfy everyone. Have I made my customers’ needs clear enough?”
What the translator said again not only made Li Ming angry, but the face of the group leader also began to change.
Li Ming also saw the leader's face, but in order to complete the comparison, Li Ming still continued to ask questions according to the leader's request. This time the translator was too lazy to raise it with the Germans, directly stating that there was no need to ask such a question, and even refused. answer.
"Xiao Li, if people don't want to see us, we shouldn't touch their butts with hot stickers. It's not like we don't have other options. Let's go!"
Looking at the arrogance of this German equipment manufacturing company, the group leader couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his hand and Li Ming followed the leader closely.
"Leader, don't leave in a hurry. Our country is in urgent need of this kind of equipment. If we don't buy it now, we won't be able to complete the order. Germany's machine tools are the best in the world, and our country won't be able to produce them in another hundred years. Yeah, losing your temper won’t solve the problem..."
The group cadre wearing gold-rimmed glasses hurriedly caught up with the leader, his face full of anxiety.
The other party has been stationed in Europe for a long time and has a certain understanding of machine tools. This time, various domestic requirements were made, and the other party also traveled to some places before finding the equipment they thought was suitable.
In fact, it was also inspected by corresponding domestic technicians before. When the other party came here, he was attracted by the exquisite appearance of the other party's equipment. Coupled with the arrogant attitude of the Germans, it directly fit the other party's perception of high-end products.
"Same for you, Xiao Li, why are you asking such a question that has no level of skill? Their machine tools are the best in the world and unique. Our production methods and levels are backward. Is it possible to adapt their machine tools to your production methods? We We must actively admit our own backwardness.”
