Chapter five hundred and fifty-eight sincerity
The office location of European Panxing Company is very close to Telfort Company. Everyone who is close can see the figure opposite each other directly...
When a long list of container trucks were parked in the square downstairs of Fanxing Company, the employees of Telfort Company naturally saw the situation here clearly.
"Hey, are these equipment from that Chinese company?" An engineer from Telfort's technical service department was holding coffee in his hand. He was originally just climbing by the window and watching the scenery of Arena Stadium. But he saw a convoy arriving at the square one after another, and the goods marked with the Pan Star Company logo were constantly unloading.
"Look at that, the shape should be the tree-shaped antenna of the GSM base station? And that, it looks like the distribution system of the macro base station..."
"Ah, Mr. Andrew!" The engineer turned his head and almost sprinkled the coffee. Andrew from Telfort's company actually stood beside him.
Andrew didn't care about his phone slip during work hours, but kept thinking, touching his chin, "Where did these devices come from? Did Panxing Company send the testing equipment on board before bidding?"
The engineer standing beside him felt a lot more relaxed when he saw Andrew not grabbing his braid. He pointed to the equipment packaging that was moved down the square and said confidently: "Mr. Andrew is not thinking about it. Look at the packaging. If it is shipping, it should be container packaging. In the container, it is mainly vibration-absorbing filling. However, the packaging of these equipment is made of wooden pallets, and I think it should be air transportation."
“Air Transport?”
Andrew was stunned for a moment. He was not a technical maniac who was ignorant of things. Otherwise, he would not have sat in the CTO position. People with only technical skills in their heads are usually squatting in the laboratory. There are many of them in a complete set of telecommunications testing equipment. The main ones include network equipment, data centers, optical transmission lines, control systems, and power distribution systems...
These messy systems add up to a complete telecommunications system. If you want to install a complete telecommunications network test system onto the plane, as Liu Gang said before, at least dozens of aircraft must not be flying.
The airline must first focus on the passenger's consignment, and then the entrusted consignment. The space that can be left is uncertain, and it is hard to say how many times it will take to ship it. As for transporting all the equipment at one time, it will take at least ten years to prepare an A380.
In 1997, China's civil aviation and air transportation level did not even have first class cabins, and the regional passenger plane that came in was already the main force.
Andrew is the main person in charge of testing equipment. He also had an estimate of the arrival time of each equipment. Ericsson is about half a month to twenty days, but Panxing Company will take at least one month to come from China. After all, the two are a whole Asia-European World Island. Compared with the fact that it takes half a month to get to Stockholm to Amsterdam, Panxing Company has a high efficiency in one month.
But what is going on now? Telfort has only been a week since the news of the bidding test, and Panxing Company actually contacted the air freight to complete the transportation from China to the Netherlands.
Based on this time, the public trip should not have been completed in Stockholm, Ericsson's headquarters.
"Let's go and have a look with me." Andrew was a little confused, greeted the engineer beside him, and went downstairs to go to Fanxing Company.
With Andrew coming out of Telfort's headquarters, many people saw the spectacular scene of dozens of cars unloading from Panxing Company. Anyway, the two companies were not far away, and they could go back and forth in ten minutes. Many people walked out with the mentality of watching the fun.
In the square in front of Panxing Company, unloading trucks are lined up. The logistics companies in Amsterdam are very efficient and the process of mechanization of equipment is also high. Workers' work efficiency is naturally much higher. More than 20 vehicles and dozens of tons of equipment were unloaded from the vehicle. Some equipment needs to be carefully placed, while others are simply building materials.
Various equipment were unloaded in different categories and stacked in different areas, and the unloading requirements were also different. After just looking at it for a while, Andrew had already identified the names of many communication equipment from the loading and unloading methods and the packaging of goods, and he became more and more certain that this was the equipment that Panxing Company was about to send for inspection.
"Mr. Andrew!" A man from Panxing Company trotted two steps and rushed over: "Our leader has not come back yet. If you want to find them, why not go to the company for a while?"
"Mr. Zhou and Mr. Li. Where are they?" Andrew's face was a little strange. Things like the arrival of inspection equipment are not on the scene. What is more important than this?
Feng Wuji said that he was actually the real European regional manager of Panxing Company, but Zhou Shuo and Li Baogui have been at the forefront of the Netherlands for a long time, and his importance has declined a little. But it is undeniable that he is equal to Andrew in terms of identity.
Feng Wuji smiled and didn't care about his status. Whether he can continue to do it or not, as a manager of a pan-star company, depends on Telfort's good start. As long as he can win the project, what does it matter if he temporarily takes action?
"The two of them are arranging the return flights." Feng Wuji explained carefully: "This time the inspection equipment was sent to our China Post Company's transport aircraft, but under normal circumstances, China and the Netherlands do not have special air transport aircraft, so they temporarily seconded the transport aircraft to complete the task. There are still many things in it, and they need to deal with it in person."
As the saying goes, you must not only know how to do things, but also be good at saying. Your Panxing Company’s equipment is delivered quickly, that is, it is delivered quickly. Maybe you are mobilizing equipment in nearby areas, or preparing transportation methods in advance. At most, Telfort Company thinks that Panxing Company has done a good job in preparation.
This won't work.
The reason why Zhou Shuo spent so much effort and even invited the Air Force transport aircraft to transport equipment was not just a simple opportunity to show off. What is important is to convey a state of "we attach great importance to this project very much and very much." With this state, time is really not important.
If it can be transported by rockets, Zhou Shuo actually doesn't mind sending a copy of the Intercontinental Express.
How to show your "sincerity" without the foundation of in-depth cooperation between the two parties? Most of the time, it depends on how much resources you are willing to waste. The more waste you waste, the more effort you put into this project, the more people will believe that you are sincere.
When Andrew heard Feng Wuji's words, he couldn't help but be respectful. Even chartering a transport plane is nothing, it's fine if you take a domestic route and have money. But the temporary international route will be too big. Telfort is the bottom of the Dutch telecommunications service provider, so why hasn't you ever received such attention? Even if Ericsson wants to fight for this project, he just treats Telfort as an ordinary customer.
Just such a "small detail", Andrew's Libra silently leaned towards Panxing Company.
Other engineers from Telfort also walked over and began to ask the Chinese who were directing loading and unloading around Panxing's equipment. Smooth English gushed out of the mouths of these Chinese people, and their familiarity with Panxing's equipment also made these engineers constantly admire them.
"These are equipment from China? Why did they arrive so soon!"
"The equipment that cost more than 60 yuan was airlifted by airplane!"
"Yes, this requires a lot of money. It seems that this Panxing Company is really concerned about our projects."
"More than that, look here. Their data centers are marked with amazing access speeds that are faster than those of Ericsson!"
"Hey, really! Zhang, is your data measured or theoretical?"
The young man named Zhang, surrounded by a group of Telfort engineers, was not nervous at all. He smiled confidently: "Of course it's a test. This equipment is a mature solution that our Panxing Company has been using. The data center uses a pre-read cache access technology we specially developed, which can increase the access speed by 20% compared to similar products of other companies..."
Andrew stood aside and watched for a while, then refused Feng Wuji's attempt to stay, turned around and went back to the headquarters office building of Telfort Company.
"Mr. Feng, since your equipment has arrived, please send it to our laboratory as soon as possible. Mr. Albert and I will test your equipment first."
Feng Wuji responded, and looked at Andrew's back as he left, and in a trance, he felt that he could already feel the dawn of victory.
But at the headquarters of Ericsson's Dutch Company, the air pressure suddenly dropped. Palunde, who was still leisurely in the morning, went crazy after answering a call, instructing everyone in the GSM network department.
"The Chinese have piled up equipment at the door of Telfort. You pigs have not even finished the men? This is a project worth more than 900 million US dollars. If it is lost, you will have to pay full responsibility!"
Palunde dropped the phone with a snap and loosened his tie angrily. He sat on the office chair and stared at the phone on the table. After more than half an hour, the phone suddenly rang.
He first glanced at it and gave a reminder, then he decisively grabbed the microphone and asked impatiently: "How is Basque? Have you got that position?" (To be continued)
