National Beer

In this trip to Germany, the delegation has two tasks in a nutshell. One is to inspect several major German beer equipment manufacturers and introduce advanced beer equipment, and the other is to inspect several major German beer groups and introduce advanced beer brewing technology. .

The company that produces beer equipment does not make beer, and the company that makes beer does not produce beer equipment. These are two different things.

However, regardless of the imported beer equipment or brewing process, the standard of the Second Light Hall is positioned at the world advanced level in the 1980s. Therefore, international standards must be consulted in the design of the scheme, process selection, equipment selection and supplier selection. strict requirements.

And Krista’s company is an engineering design and construction company. They are responsible for combining advanced equipment from several major German beer equipment manufacturers such as Siemens, Krones, and Hoffman to form a new beer production line.

Now, what Krista brought to Yijin was a complete set of documentation for the beer production line. Yijin took it. The documentation was all in German. She couldn’t understand it. In desperation, she passed the documentation to the translator. Xiaoqiu.

Xiaoqiu speaks German fluently. He translated the chapter on the brief introduction to the beer production line very well, but at the back, he was stretched out for the vocabulary of professional beer equipment.

"Xiao Qin, come." Yi Jin looked at Qin Dong. Qin Dong had taken the information in Xiao Qiu's hand. The information was so thick that he could only pick the main ones.

"Oh," Krista looked admiringly, "you speak German very well."

Although Zhu Yi, the deputy director of the entrance office, could not understand a word in German, he could understand the look on Krista's face. Well, unexpectedly, this young man really has two brushes.

"Then, Ms. Schroeder, can I ask, what is the total price of this production line?" Without clothes, Qin Dong also knows that price is the primary concern of everyone.

"Look here." Krista flipped through the information in Qin Dong's hands. "This is a 30,000-ton beer production line, including malting, saccharification, fermentation, filtration, packaging and utilities. The total value is 1,200. Wanmark.

"12 million marks?" Yi Jin was calculating. Last year, the exchange rate between RMB and mark was 1.3 marks for 1 yuan. Now 1 yuan can be exchanged for 0.7 marks. "That is 17 million yuan."

Hearing this number, Chen Shifa smiled on his face. This is almost half the original budget, but he is so sophisticated and he knows the truth about what you pay for. "Xiao Qin, you can ask about these devices. Is it the most advanced equipment?"

After listening to Qin Dong’s questioning, Krista.Schroeder smiled and had to say that this is a German woman with a variety of styles. In front of her professionalism and beauty, Zhu Yi, Qi Cheng and others have not had the confidence and calmness that they had in China.

"I promise, this is the plan that we have chosen after thousands of choices," Krista smiled sincerely and very charmingly. "Look, we use Krones equipment, control systems, and cleaning equipment for the saccharification equipment. The system and the saccharification pot manufacturing process are the most advanced equipment now..."

"Really?" Yi Jin looked at the information in Qin Dong's hands, and involuntarily approached Qin Dong. Now in this inspection group, although everyone has done their homework, it seems that no one can come to Qin with their knowledge of beer technology. East to the right.

"She's right." Qin Dong nodded. Krones' saccharification equipment is indeed among the top German beer equipment manufacturers.

"In an attitude of being responsible to customers, we did not choose Krones's for the saccharification pot.... Look, we use Siemens equipment for the fermentation tube plate and pipeline..."

In the data, it is true that the equipment for saccharification, fermentation and packaging comes from different beer equipment companies, because these companies have their own competitive products.

"One more thing," Krista took the initiative to approach Qin Dong. She understood that Qin Dong seemed to speak more heavily than that beautiful Chinese woman, because he might be the only one in this group who understands German and understands. Technical people, "If you use the production line recommended by our company, the equipment construction and pipeline construction of the entire project, we will send the most capable engineers..."

At present, only the Guangzhou Design Institute has the design capacity of a 5,000-ton beer production line in China, and a foreign engineering design and construction company can only be responsible for a 30,000-ton beer production line.

"Then if the equipment is installed, what should I do if it fails in the future?" Chen Shifa asked.

Since 1982, various provinces in my country have successively introduced more than 10 beer production lines from Romania, Yugoslavia, the Democratic Republic of Germany, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany. The medium and high-end beer equipment is basically monopolized by German companies such as HK, SEN, and Krones.

However, the imported beer production line requires a lot of foreign exchange, and there are still many drawbacks. For example, some components of the equipment are special components. In case of failure, there is no corresponding component replacement in China, so that the advanced equipment imported with a lot of money is costly. Removed a pile of waste in the warehouse.In the peak season of beer production, the losses caused are immeasurable.

Yi Jin also turned his head to look at Krista. This was also what the leaders of the hall had specially asked before he came here, to see how to solve this problem, if there is a way out, it would be great.

"We will be responsible for this to the end, and it will be stated in the contract," Krista said calmly, "Please don't worry, if this happens, we will send a dedicated engineer and invite the beer equipment manufacturer's engineer Let’s go to China together, and promise to depart within one week after receiving your notice."

"A week?" Qi Cheng frowned, "If there is a peak beer production season, it is a day and cannot be delayed."

"Three days, three days, Xiao Qin, you tell her." Chen Shifa said.

"For three days, we worked hard," Krista smiled. "A week's time is for us to consider various emergencies. Of course, our departure time will definitely be shortened," she smiled and looked at these. Middle-aged man, "But, let me ask, you have no confidence in the equipment made by the German company?"

After Qin Dong's translation, several big men also laughed. People from Qinwan feel the most profoundly about the quality of the German company's manufacturing. Qin Beer also has a German-made saccharifying pot for grandma's. The pot body is still red copper, almost a hundred years old. The machine can still operate normally.

"Well, Krista, you leave the information and let us study it." Yi Jin looked at Qin Dong and motioned for him to translate. Invisibly, Qin Dong had already grabbed the job of translator Xiaoqiu. We will reply to her on Monday."

"Monday?" Krista shook her head, "I am in charge of your project. No one in the company knows better than me. But on Monday, I want to go to Belgium, so I can only talk about it when I come back from Belgium. Up."

She shrugged, with a regretful expression on her face, "That's why I came here early today."

That's right, what this German woman means is that we are now going to finalize the production line they provide?

Yi Jin didn't dare to agree easily. The Chinese people know the truth about shopping around.

Krista seems to have guessed the worry of Yi Jin and others, "The company needs your feedback, preliminary feedback, and I will report it to the company's general manager after I go back. He can also arrange for someone to show you the most advanced equipment tomorrow. ..."

"If you have no intention now, our work plan will also change."

If I don’t give Krista a reply now, I don’t know it will be a few days until she returns from Belgium. If the intention is initially determined, we can visit the brewery equipment factory tomorrow. This is particularly important for the inspection team. Yi Jin does not want to spend the weekend. Two days spent in the mountains and water or just stay in the hotel.

"Look at everyone, how is it?" Yi Jin looked at everyone. This is a major event that requires brainstorming and shared risks.
