"Director Wang, we have completed the amendment of the bidding documents of Shating Power Plant. Please review it again."

"Director Wang, it seems that you have not modified the motor specifications."

"Indeed, we have not modified this part of the content. The content we modified is mainly..."

"Director Wang, we will compare the modifications in other places. But the issue of unit specifications is the most critical. If you insist on the 360,000 kilowatt specifications, it means that our domestic companies have been excluded, which is contrary to the country's requirement to use domestic equipment as much as possible. You should be very clear about this."

"Director Wang, of course we are clear about this issue. However, we have discussed the issue with the World Bank project experts regarding the unit specifications. This specification was also proposed by the World Bank experts, so it is not convenient for us to change it easily."

"Director Wang, it's unnecessary to say this? Our National Planning Commission has not reviewed the World Bank loan project. The World Bank experts also respect the opinions of the construction party. As long as you insist on using 30,000 or 60,000 units, they have no reason to object."

"Director Wang, since you have reached this level, I will just say it. Of course, we can propose to the World Bank experts to insist on purchasing domestic equipment, but Director Wang also knows what the quality of domestic equipment looks like? Longshan Electric Factory has introduced the technology of the American Xiyi Company for more than ten years. They claim to the public that they have basically mastered these technologies, but when they are actually applied, they still lose their chains. Doesn't the matter at Hezhou Power Plant explain this problem?"

"The Hezhou Power Plant incident is just an accident. Domestic equipment cannot be foolproof. Even foreign technology cannot be said to be perfect, right?"

"At least it is more reliable than LongDian's technology?"

"Are you sure?"

"That's of course!"

In a small conference room of the State Planning Commission, the talks between Wang Jinsheng and Wang Zhenbin were inevitably in a state of heat. Wang Zhenbin seemed relatively low-key from the beginning, while Wang Jinsheng was hiding a needle in a cotton area. His tone was very soft, but his content inside and outside was aggressive.

The speculation of Shating Power Plant and the issue of localization by many media has made Dingnan Province and Dingnan Planning Commission a focus of public opinion. In this case, the provincial leaders issued instructions to Tan Guoliang, asking the Planning Commission to solve the bidding of Shating Power Plant as soon as possible and not let it ferment. In the view of the provincial leaders, once the bidding of Shating Power Plant is over, the media will not find the excitement of the hype, and the matter will naturally calm down. On the contrary, if it is left to make noise, this matter may have long nights and dreams, which will eventually affect the implementation of the Kemper project.

In addition, several real estate companies are currently waiting and watching and dare not continue to invest in the Wulitan project. As mentioned in crosstalk, everyone is waiting for the "second boot" to fall. Before that, everyone is uneasy.

Under the pressure of provincial leaders, Wang Jinsheng went to Beijing again and met with Wang Zhenbin, deputy director of the State Planning Commission, and submitted the revised bidding documents, intending to force Wang Zhenbin to nod. The bidding documents have been revised a lot, and each of the modifications has been marked, looking dazzling. Dingnan Planning Commission did this to give the State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Finance a step. It has made changes according to the requirements of the two ministries and commissions, and the modification is extremely strong. You should have nothing to say, right? As for the key issue of 360,000 kilowatts, it is impossible for Dingnan Province to change it.

Of course, Wang Jinsheng also knew that as long as the specification of 360,000 kilowatts was not changed, the State Planning Commission would definitely not be satisfied. However, under the shadow of Hezhou power plant equipment failure, Wang Jinsheng was a little unsure of how tough the State Planning Commission could have. From the conversation with Wang Zhenbin just now, he felt that the State Planning Commission was not confident enough, so he decided to make the State Planning Commission make concessions with a more resolute attitude and solve this problem with a quick cut.

"Director Wang, we support the country's policy of promoting the localization of equipment. We also agree with and appreciate the efforts of many companies, including Longshan Motor Factory, in this regard. However, objective laws cannot be violated. The central government also advocates doing things according to objective laws and not doing the same thing as political leaders in the past. The matter of Hezhou Power Plant shows that it still takes a process for us to digest and absorb advanced foreign technologies. At present, our technology is still insufficient. Shating Power Plant is responsible for the task of supplying power to several national key projects, which is of great significance. In this case, we hope to choose more mature foreign technologies, which is also responsible for key projects. The country should understand our intentions." Wang Jinsheng said with a humble attitude. He is the same level as Wang Zhenbin, but he is a superior competent department, so he must be low-key no matter what.

Wang Zhenbin looked at Wang Jinsheng and asked expressionlessly: "Director Wang, how do you know that the equipment failure of Hezhou Power Plant is a problem for our country? This 60,000-kilowatt unit was designed by Xiyi Company in the United States, and some key components were also introduced from Xiyi Company. Why can't it be that their design or key components have problems?"

"Director Wang, do you think this is possible?" Wang Jinsheng sneered, "What kind of enterprise is Xiyi Company? How could they make such low-level mistakes?"

Wang Zhenbin smiled and said, "Director Wang, you may have made an empirical mistake. The engineers of Xiyi Company arrived in Hezhou yesterday. They have admitted that this failure was their design mistake."

"What!" Wang Jinsheng almost jumped up. Dingnan Provincial Planning Commission also had a spy on Hezhou. Yesterday, before Wang Jinsheng set out from Dongyuan, he specifically asked, and the other party said that the cause of the failure had not been found out yet, and the head of the Longshan Motor Factory had white hair. Why did things change so much in less than a day?

Wang Zhenbin laughed in his heart. In fact, Wang Zhenbin wanted to laugh as early as when Wang Jinsheng handed him the revised bidding documents, but he had to stretch a little first so that Wang Jinsheng could speak full of words. Wang Zhenbin knew that the more Wang Jinsheng said, the more embarrassed he would be after learning the truth. This not only concerns the confrontation between the two sides in this project, but also affects the future relationship between the Dingnan Provincial Planning Commission and the State Planning Commission. If such a handle is held in the hands of the State Planning Commission, Dingnan will have to be more honest in the future.

To be honest, when Wang Zhenbin received a call from Feng Xiaochen and learned that the Hezhou Power Plant was indeed a misunderstanding made by Xiyi Company, Wang Zhenbin himself could not believe it. His first reaction was that Feng Xiaochen was wrong, and then he suspected that Feng Xiaochen was making up a false news to achieve his goal. But when he thought about it, he knew that this was impossible. Feng Xiaochen was indeed a person who likes to say some jokes, but he would never joke like this in the main business. To be safe, Wang Zhenbin asked his subordinates to call Hezhou Power Plant, and the news he got was exactly the same. Only then did Wang Zhenbin realize that Feng Xiaochen was so calm before, he was quite sure.

A serious equipment failure caused countless doubts about domestic equipment, but it was finally proved that it was the fault of foreigners. This was definitely the first time in Wang Zhenbin's memory. Looking back at the public opinion provoked by Dingnan before, Wang Zhenbin could fully imagine how many people would be cheated in this matter, and among them, Wang Jinsheng was undoubtedly the most tragic one. If Dingnan Province wanted to take the blame, Wang Jinsheng, a quiet and beautiful man, could be said to be neither tall nor short, neither long nor short, and it was just right.

"Director Wang, this incident has taught us a great lesson. In the past, once something went wrong, we unconsciously found faults in ourselves and never dared to question foreign partners. After all, this is the result of lack of self-confidence. In the past few years, we had low technical level and did not understand the international technological trends. It is understandable to have such a mentality. After more than ten years of reform and opening up, we have mastered some international advanced technologies and cultivated a large number of technical talents with an international perspective. If we underestimate ourselves like this, it is not appropriate.

As far as I know, after the failure of Unit 2 of Hezhou Power Plant, the technicians of Longshan Motor Plant did not blindly believe in foreign countries. They all started from scientific laws and carefully found the cause of the failure. Several young college students in their factory took the lead and finally determined the problem through a large amount of calculations. When Xiyi Company modified their traditional 6 Hz unit to a 5 Hz unit, there was an error in the calculation. Xiyi Company checked the calculation based on the Chinese calculation results, admitted their errors, and sent engineers to China to cooperate with our modification of the design. Xiyi Company has stated that it would pay full compensation for the losses caused by this failure." Wang Zhenbin said.

"Is that so good... Director Wang is right. This is a lesson. We can't be too superstitious about foreign countries." Wang Jinsheng forced to pretend to be smiling and echoed. The smile looked even worse than crying. If he had known this result, Dingnan would have to worry about it. They instructed the media to post so many articles questioning domestic equipment. Now things have reversed, and all articles have become their own handles.
