Chapter 54： Power plant bidding

Facing the Romanian tender, German Siemens arrived first because of the distance. After they came to Romania, they approached Hersman, a former employee of the company, who is now the Crown Prince’s adviser.

"Mr. Herlsmann, as a former colleague, don't know if you can give us any good suggestions in this tender? We will be extremely grateful." Siemens Deputy General Manager Dika Stewart led the team this time Asked after seeing Helsman.

"I'm just a consultant, and there is nothing I can suggest to you. If you must need advice, it is cost-effective." As a consultant, Hirschman faced questions from his former company vice president and knew his own Positioning. The decision-making power of Romania’s bidding is in the hands of Crown Prince Edel, and a small consultant of his own should not interrupt indiscriminately. The Crown Prince’s friendship Hersman still cherishes it.

Dika Stewart saw Hirschmann and was unwilling to exert his influence on Siemens, and did not say anything more. This is just one of the inconspicuous choices of Dika Stewart. The best choice is the German ambassador Baslob.

After the former German ambassador Borges returned to China with his achievements last year, Baslob succeeded him, leaving a good impression on the German emperor's heart. Borges, who was preparing to return home under the humility of Baslob's advice, shared his knowledge of Romania and shared it with his successor. At the same time, he reminded him that Crown Prince Edel of Romania is a key figure that cannot be avoided.

After seeing Herschmann, Dika Stewart went to visit the German Embassy. Dika Stewart came to the embassy on Providellie Avenue. This German embassy is a three-story building built in 1877. There is a warehouse behind the building, which has now been converted into an office space. At first it was a place built by a businessman for office and storage. Later, the businessman went bankrupt and was bought by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an embassy.

Ambassador Baslob has been waiting in the embassy for the arrival of Dika Selter.

"Good afternoon, ambassador." Dika Stewart greeted Ambassador Baslobb first.

"Hello Mr. Stewart, I am glad to see you in Romania." Ambassador Baslob replied.

After greeted each other, Deca Selter said his intentions. Ambassador Baslob has long known that the Siemens vice president came for the Romanian power order, and he was also applauding the crown prince for his generous work before. Now he is obligated to win this order for German companies. Of course, it would be better if Siemens can be interesting.

When I think of this, Ambassador Baslob can think about it. "Mr. Stewart, it is also our embassy's obligation to obtain orders for German companies. However, to meet the crown prince after all, we need to make an appointment in advance, and now I have to be busy with the finishing work of the payment construction these days. Can you wait for two days?"

Dika Stewart is not a fool to be the vice president, and immediately understands that Mr. Ambassador is not willing to work in vain. They didn't plan to let the ambassador do anything in vain before, but they didn't expect the ambassador to be anxious. Thinking of seeing the information about the ambassador before, this Baslob had a reputation for indiscretion in the diplomatic system. It would not have been possible for him to get this relaxed position unless he had a heavy minister standing behind him.

After understanding what the ambassador meant, Dika Stewart said directly. "Mr. Ambassador doesn't know if you are free tonight? I would like to invite you to taste some of the specialties of the German country town."

Dika Selter increased the volume with the word ‘special product’. Ambassador Baslobb's eyes lit up, and he clearly understood what Deca Selter meant.

"It's been a long time since I tasted the taste of my hometown. I will definitely come over in the evening." Mr. Ambassador said that he completely ignored the German sausages he had eaten at noon and the Munich beer he drank.

The satisfied ambassador stood in front of Edel the next day and asked the crown prince to consider the role of German relations, hoping to leave this order to German companies.

"Mr. Ambassador, I can understand that you are running for a German company, but this is a commercial act. After all, I am the Crown Prince of Romania and need to be responsible to the Romanians. I cannot guarantee that Germany will get this order, considering my country and Germany With a good relationship, I can only say that if the performance and price are consistent, I will give priority to German companies."

Edel faced Ambassador Baslob’s request and said after thinking twice. After getting the crown prince’s reply, Baslob also knew that this was the crown prince’s greatest sincerity.

"Thank you very much for your love to Germany, and hope that our two countries can maintain a long-term good relationship." The ambassador said gratefully after getting the results he wanted.

After returning to the embassy, ​​Baslob passed the news to the waiting Siemens group.

"This result is very good for us, now we need to calculate what price we should use to win this order." Dika Steer, who received the news, ordered his opponent.

Dika Selter knew that it was unrealistic for Romania to hand over this order directly to Siemens. They are now half a position ahead of GM. Although there are other companies, Dika Selter knows the order. It will only be produced in their two companies, because only the two of them represent the highest level of the current power industry.

One week after Siemens has come to Romania to prepare, General Motors has just arrived. This time GM led the team by a middle-aged man named Sicor. UU Reading , as a GM executive Sicor knew that his task was very difficult. Europe has always been Siemens' territory. This time, the Romanian order is considered by him as an opportunity. If it is made to allow the board of directors to see its own capabilities, it can also help the company open up the European market. Therefore, this time Sicor is determined to win.

After coming to Romania, Sikor was no different from Dika Selter before, looking for relationships. However, the United States hardly has too much influence on Romania, making Sikor feel a little bit of a wall. This aroused Siscol's combative spirit. He even went out to ask for help. Even Smith from Rockefeller was harassed by him many times. (General Electric is Morgan Industries.)

Soon it was the bidding time, in the conference room of the Bucharest hotel where the bid was placed. Many electric power companies attracted by Romanian orders sit quietly inside. Listening to what they had known for a long time, none of them were impatient. On the contrary, they all listened well.

The details of the order are finished very quickly, and now they are left for two hours to fill out the bid form. Every company has a room to fill in its own list. Every company knows that this is the time to decide the final outcome, and it must think twice about filling it out.

The time to fill out soon came, and each company handed in the bid form that they filled out to the organizer, and all that was left was to wait for the result. Dika Stewart saw a group of GM Sikor and sat in three seats with his left hand apart.

Time flies quickly, it's the turn to announce the winning bid. Everyone present wants the host to say that the winning bidder is himself, which is of course impossible. The host who was stared at by the crowd quickly spoke of the winning company. "I announced that the winning bidder was'Siemens'."
