Chapter 16 Under Equipment
After Zheng Wei went out, the three of them drank coffee. Yang Rui took a sip and felt bitter. He hurriedly found the candy to add it. Zhong Guanguan also added it, and seemed to have enjoyed it. After about a quarter of an hour, Zheng Wei brought a German wearing glasses over. He looked carefully at Kerr's drawings and technical requirements, and said that according to his experience, the manufacturer produced such a large hydrochloric acid-resistant and high-temperature reaction tank with no precedent in his memory. This requires confirmation with Germany before confirming. As for other equipment, there is no problem at all.
In this era without plastic and various new materials, it is difficult to make a hydrochloric acid-resistant and high-temperature-resistant jar that is more than two cubic meters. Now, when producing sulfuric acid, you can only use lead as a reactor, and lead and hydrochloric acid will react. Besides, lead cannot appear in food. The feasible solution now is to see if Germany can make such a large enamel jar or ceramic jar, and it cannot be too expensive, otherwise Yang Rui would have to go back and find a ceramic kiln to burn it himself.
Since the reaction tank cannot be clear, we can only talk about the machine part first, steam boilers, power, gluten production, grinding and drying equipment, condensers, and vacuum pumps used for heating can be discussed first. The price of these equipment is 12,000 marks, which is 5,600 yuan. The most expensive one is the steam boiler. Although it is only used as a simple heating requirement and provides power for various equipment, it still costs 8,000 marks.
Before Yang Rui could speak, Kerr expressed his objection. For him, who had a monthly salary of only more than 100 marks, plus all bonus subsidies, and only only two thousand marks a year, these quotes were simply robbery. He said to the German in German: "Sir, I dare to assure God that this is the most outrageous price I have heard. I don't know which company you are talking about, but the simple boiler I know will definitely not exceed 4,000 marks in Germany, and the price of vacuum pumps is also outrageous. It is such a common mercury vacuum pump. Normally, only 400 marks, why do you need one thousand marks? And this mill, this is a very small machine, and why do you need one thousand marks?"
After hearing Cole's words, the German wearing glasses was just a technician. After hearing this, he pushed his glasses in embarrassment. He didn't know how to explain it. Zheng Weigang could understand German, but he seemed to be completely unable to understand. He stood still and didn't speak. The atmosphere in the living room was very awkward. The German was rubbing for a while and said, "Gentlemen, I am mainly responsible for technology. If the quotes are not satisfactory in some places, you can negotiate with Mr. Zheng." After that, he felt awkward and slipped away.
When Yang Rui saw the Germans left, Zheng Weigang was still looking for topics, so he took the empty coffee and said, "The coffee here is really good. I haven't drunk such a coffee for a long time."
Zheng Weigang didn't know what to say, so he immediately greeted the servant outside the door, and then said dryly: "Mr. Yang seems to be very used to drinking coffee. He should have been studying abroad before, right?"
"Yes, I have studied in a German university, but unfortunately I didn't study very well, so I asked the German Consul Mr. Rutt to help. Mr. Rutt recommended Mr. Cole to help me again. I am really ashamed." Yang Rui gave the other party a secret in his words.
Zheng Wei began to understand why the boss Nissen told him to receive this group of people. It turned out that it was sent by the German consulate. This Cole looked awesome. The people in the technical department were usually arrogant, but today they slipped away. He smiled and said, "Brother, you are very powerful. I am older. Don't mind taking advantage of you, do you?"
Yang Rui didn't care and smiled and said, "How dare you? How dare you? Brother, I call me, brother, respect me. Oh, what can you do if you think about this?"
Zheng Weigang smiled and said, "Brother, although I am a general manager, I am just a messenger. You have a clear relationship with me. Why don't you let the consul say something to the boss? I'll be a good person."
Yang Rui knew that this cunning guy had pushed the problem back, and thought that he would still push it back: "Brother, you don't know that such a thing is only tens of thousands of yuan. If I really went to Consul Rut to find Consul Rut for the sake of this tens of thousands of yuan, he would look down on me. Besides, Consul Rut to find your boss for this little money would be so shameless. This foreigner, although he is not a Chinese, he can also talk about this face."
Zheng Wei was pushed back when he saw the problem. He knew that what he said was just that. It was too unworthy to ask for money. It seemed that he could only fall on his head. Just as he was thinking, Yang Rui said again: "Brother, let's say in private, how much is the gross profit of this foreign company?"
Zheng Weigang heard this and called him, "Brother, the more people who do business are always making, the better." Seeing that Yang Rui looked disbelief, he knew that he could not coax him, he said, "To be honest, the boss said last time that if other companies have something, they should sell it at the price of another company, but if the gross profit is less than 60%, don't make it. If other companies don't have something, it will be doubled. This German goods are much better than other products." Zheng Weigang finally told the truth, but was afraid that Yang Rui would say it out, and added: "This is said privately. I will never admit it after I go out."
"How could it be? Everyone just talks casually when drinking tea and chatting. If you can't be true, you can't be true." Yang Rui said with a smile: "But you need your help in this incident. If you are under your authority, please take care of it."
Zheng Wei just saw that the other party was also a very awake person, a very experienced person, and had a deep relationship with the Germans. He thought about it and couldn't help but sell his favors. So he said, "Brother, sit down and drink coffee first. If it's gone, let the servant add it. I'll let the upper part open and see what the above means."
Yang Rui stood up, smiled and said, "Thank you."
Zheng Weigang shook his head and went out.
After he left, Yang Rui asked Cole: "Mr. Cole, thank you very much just now."
Cole seemed to have a little serious look on his face and said, "Mr. Yang, they are simply robbing, these evil merchants. A real German would not do this." After saying that, Cole was straight and seemed to be a real German.
Yang Rui didn't find it funny when he saw it. Everyone has their own beliefs and feels that they are the best, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. He thought of the question that the German man just said, and asked: "Mr. Cole, I'm very worried about whether the reaction tank can be made."
When asked about professional questions, Kerr thought for a while: "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry I don't know the specific situation. This kind of reaction tank is from the chemical industry. I'm just an engineer in a shipyard. And I've been leaving Germany for three years. How about China is going, I can only get news from the newspapers."
