On the second day, Bai Shuo did not convene another meeting for discussion, but went to Nangong Ming's place to stay all morning.
In the afternoon, he was hiding in Yunque again, and only Yuan Xiaowen stayed with him. No one knew what Bai Shuo was doing. In the evening, Bai Shuo and Yuan Xiaowen suddenly took a car overnight to Bagui Airport and took a flight to the imperial capital. Everyone
Everyone could see that Bai Shuo was making another big move.
Two days later, as soon as Bai Shuo returned to Muguang Group, everyone was notified of an immediate meeting. Bai Shuo and Yuan Xiaowen even came directly to the conference room to wait for everyone.
Seeing everyone gathered, Bai Shuo immediately said: "Today we will talk about the subway project."
Li Fei just wanted to report on the progress of the recent project as usual. Bai Shuo interrupted Li Fei and changed his voice: "We will not discuss it today. I will directly arrange the next step of the work."
Everyone's eyes lit up. "Do you have a solution?"
Bai Shuo immediately announced: "The price of Line 1, including technology transfer fees, must be reduced to less than 11 billion. In the future, the cost of all subway projects in the new city shall not exceed 550 million per kilometer."
"What?!" Everyone was in an uproar. You must know that the negotiation team composed of Li Fei, Zhu Zhu and personnel from the government department had repeatedly negotiated with five companies, but 16 billion was the final offer, claiming that it could not be lowered. I don't know this
What had Bai Shuo experienced in the past two days? Suddenly he felt so confident.
"Pour out whatever medicine you are selling in your gourd. Stop hiding it." Liang Ying said angrily.
Cao An also called out: "That's right, Brother Shuo, you have been busy for several days. We all know that you have big plans, so don't worry."
Bai Shuo smiled slightly: "I have reached consensus with the relevant national departments in the past two days. I plan to change the bidding for Metro Line 1 to Line 1, 2, and 3 at the same time. The bidding can be
Bidding can be conducted by line or by independent technical parts. The companies participating in the bidding must be Chinese enterprises, and of course they can be joint ventures. Moreover, the Chinese enterprises participating in the bidding must have the support of mature foreign technologies."
After a few short words, everyone present was shocked. If this decision is made, it means that one bid has become three bids. In the past, it was one of five, but now it may become three or even five of five.
4. At the same time, the five major foreign companies cannot participate in bidding as independent legal persons, and Chinese companies must have the support of foreign companies with mature technologies, which promotes the need for alliances among these companies.
Zhuzi thought for a while and put forward his own opinion: "But there are too many domestic companies and they are too complex. Such complicated requirements require them to prepare for a long time, and they also have to discuss cooperation matters with foreign companies. They won't be able to wait for a while."
Bai Shuo nodded and continued: "Yes, so we have to give people a direction. I plan to cooperate with two of the top railway and locomotive technology companies in the country through investment and shareholding, and also merge and acquire several small companies.
Establish a new company. Not only this project, but also the technology introduction and bidding for high-speed rail and subway in new cities and across the country will be based on these three companies in the future. In order to ensure the quality of technology transfer, the country will also set up a technology transfer implementation
The evaluation and assessment targets are Chinese bidding companies, and the referees are relevant national departments. All key technologies of foreign companies participating in cooperation must be transferred, the price must be the lowest, and the Chinese brand must be used.”
"Bah!" Liang Ying couldn't help but burst into laughter when she heard this: "Bai Shuo, you are so shady. Such a change in the rules of the game will completely disrupt the five foreign companies that came to bid. Such strategic advantages and initiative
The power has returned to us."
"No!" Zhu Zhu corrected: "This is not called a conspiracy. This is a conspiracy, a big conspiracy... The real purpose is to introduce advanced foreign technology, so that it won't take long for these three domestic companies to independently complete The project capabilities, coupled with my country's high-speed rail and subway have just started, and the demand in the future will be very great. I believe these three companies will soon become new world-class giants."
Li Fei also praised: "This method is really brilliant. It is difficult for five foreign companies not to compete. Bai Shuo, how did you come up with such a big deal in such a short period of time?"
Bai Shuo smiled slightly: "Actually, Uncle Ming had already thought of this method, but fortunately Xiaowen reminded me that I finally understood it."
"Do you still remember the book that Uncle Ming sent that day?" Then, Bai Shuo took out the book "Yan Zi Chun Qiu" and told everyone that this method all came from the allusion of "Two peaches kill three scholars".
Looking at the small book on the table, everyone started talking in disbelief.
Cao An suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, in ancient times, Yan Ying had two peaches that could kill three men. Today, Bai Shuo and three fronts are fighting against the five hegemons. To say that two peaches can kill three men is nothing. It is just a political struggle that killed three reckless men.
That’s it. Brother Shuo, what you did today will be a feat that changes the global structure of this industry.”
What Cao An said is right. From that day on, because of a small new city subway project, the world structure of the entire industry began to quietly change.
In the following months, with the support of China, Bai Shuo quickly completed the layout of three domestic companies and designated the three companies as the main bodies for technology introduction. This completely blocked other entrances to negotiations. Foreign companies wanted to
When working on this project, they even said that if they want to share the bigger pie in China in the future, they must cooperate with these three companies. Although such changes made German companies very dissatisfied, other companies saw opportunities, and their apparent opposition was secretly a manifestation of their opposition.
Be more active.
The final result: The companies in the British Empire were forced out because they were too weak and had no competitiveness; although the companies in Italy were not strong, they were very active in cooperating and provided whatever the project needed, including technology transfer and domestic production.
The transformation went very smoothly, so Bai Shuo intended to keep it. With the interference of Italian companies, the other companies' arrogance was greatly weakened in negotiations with other companies; Japanese companies and Gaul companies finally won the bid at very reasonable prices.
A project on one of the lines.
However, the Deutsche Company, which had previously been the strongest and most vocal, refused to give in due to its previous arrogance, and was unexpectedly eliminated in the end. When the news came back, the company's stock price plummeted, and the entire negotiation team was collectively fired by the company headquarters. In
Later, in the new city's high-speed rail project, Deutsche companies returned to the negotiating table again, lowered their stance and obtained investment and construction qualifications for some projects.
A few years later, the three domestic companies that Bai Shuo participated in the layout were integrated again, and relied on independent innovation and practical experience gained in many domestic projects based on learning from foreign advanced technologies to become a world-class company.
The fact that China became the absolute authority in this field is a matter for later.
