Monster Factory

For the irresistible reasons, that was during the performance of the contract they encountered messy things that couldn't be solved by human resources, and the responsibility was not on them, because this contract had an exemption clause for irresistible factors, and it was impossible to encounter this clause being fulfilled.

"Your city does not meet our equipment installation conditions."

Engineer Bernard shook his head regretfully: "Here, it's too cold. We checked the weather in the next few days. And after research, we found the equipment cannot be installed."

"When we talked about the contract, didn't you say that the equipment can be operated outdoors at around zero degrees and you promised to ensure it can be installed in place."

Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang hurriedly walked to the project and stared at him: "I have checked the weather in the next few days. It will neither rain and it won't go below minus five degrees. Could it be your equipment is a porcelain doll? And the weather is just a few degrees below zero. No more."

"Our equipment can operate normally in a sub-zero environment." The engineer Bernard couldn't hold back his face and said angrily: "I can only blame you for the humidity of the air here and the large temperature difference between morning and evening. Our holographic projection screen is deployed outside, and a thick layer of ice is about to form. Icing cannot be projected. The special interlayer of the projection screen may also change its volume due to the low temperature."

"We will refuse to perform the work the contract is not in accordance with the compelling factors of the contract. After deducting the shipping and service fees, the deposit will be refunded."

"How can you do this?" Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang felt that all plans had been disrupted. The holographic projection was a key part of propaganda, and the people of the entire Four-common Cities were waiting for this event. Because when this holographic projection screen will stand tall, citizens can see it from afar. In addition, Ding Yin, the hottest director in the country, was in charge of the filming. Not only the residents of the Four-common Cities were waiting for it but also guests from all over the world.

The rhetoric of the Four-Common Cities was written on the leaflets and invitations. Now the German company told them they refused to install holographic equipment because of the high humidity and the glass had formed a thick layer of ice when left outside.

"Then install the screen on the last day, and it won't freeze anymore, go to the ladder truck to remove the ice!"

"Very wild idea," Engineer Bernard showed an arrogant smile: "The commissioning time is at least three days, and if the screen is uninstalled in advance. How do we commission dozens of projection equipment?"

"There are only nine sets of this equipment in the world, all of which are produced by our company. De-icing ladder truck? Is it a joke? Do you know this kind of projection screen, even when we install it, we must wear soft silicone gloves to prevent scratches on the glass surface?"

After speaking, the engineer Bernard cast a look at his companion, quit the temporary office, and called the headquarters to report the situation.

"You, you" Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang rolled his eyes with anger.

"These foreigners are not here to do business and make money, obviously, they are here to be upper us. When they signed the contract, they promised to be good. Now they refuse to perform the contract because they encounter problems casually. Not to mention they wanted to be paid for liquidated damages, also to be paid for transportation and service costs here. These manufacturers had to be changed by domestic manufacturers, not to mention freezing, the magma would do everything possible to cope with it. But these other people are the world's leading manufacturers of holographic equipment if they wanted to achieve the most ideal holographic image effect."

Thinking of this, Tong Xuanqiang, the deputy director, sat back in his chair rather decadently.

"Hey… Mayor Xu... There is a problem on our side."

Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang reported the situation encountered here in detail. After a few seconds of silence on the phone, a deep reply came.

"Try as far as possible, you can appropriately increase the deposit while discussing the work. The deposit will be refunded."

The more humid the air was, the more likely outdoor objects would freeze in winter. People in the Four Commons have long been accustomed to this phenomenon but did not expect this to become an irresistible factor.

Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang was about to go out to find them, but Bernard came back after pushing the door. They were almost knocked on each other.

Tong Xuanqiang: "Can you think of a way?"

Bernard: "There is actually a solution."

The two spoke at the same time, and after a translation, Bernard smiled with a happy smile.

This kind of smile often appears in business exchanges, especially when the buyer and seller are unequal. Whenever this kind of smile appears, it means one party will be slaughtered.

"Considering you really need this kind of equipment, we discussed it with the headquarters. We think we can add a high-tech gas deicing system to maintain the normal operation of the projection screen."

Engineer Bernard sighed and kept rubbing his hands: "This system needs to be purchased from Germany and shipped by air at a cost of four million."

The deputy director Tong Xuanqiang was full of anger and there was no place for him. The other party was a well-known foreign company, even if he wanted to know what to do.

"What gas deicing costs four million?" Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang gritted his teeth: "Isn't it possible to use domestic products? We purchase it at our own expense."

"Of course not, in the face of inclement weather, such an irresistible factor, we decided to take the risk and have done our utmost responsibility. How can we purchase equipment without quality assurance from your China?

"Four million…"

Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang was about to grit his teeth and agreed. The engineer of Monster Heavy Industries who had been sitting in a chair drinking tea stood up.

"A broken glass curtain can't be made well, and you still have the right to criticize China's products for lacking quality?"

The Master Craftsman laughed: "This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. A gas-breaking deicer dare to talk about high-tech, dare to ask for four million? Are you crazy?" The Master Craftsman walked up to the engineer Bernard with his hands in his back, his eyes full of mockery and contempt.

In the temporary office, everybody suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence. No one in the office expected that this ugly engineer from Monster Heavy Industries would be so hot-tempered during this meeting. So mercilessly, he severely criticized the engineer from Germany.

Although the scene was very embarrassing, many people felt quite happy in their hearts. What the gringo engineer said made them feel angry, let alone an old engineer in China who had worked his life for the industry? Wasn't this an insult?

Tong Xuanqiang, the deputy director, had his tongue drooping, and he was racking his brains to figure out how to return the scene. But this move was doomed to be futile, because the more powerful people in a certain professional field, the more proud they were.

This is called the arrogance brought about by talent, and the words of the Master Craftsman directly made Bernard the engineer who thought he was outstanding, his heart and liver would be mad. His eyes were puffed up, his face looked like a pig liver that had been frozen all night.

"Who are you, saying our SAX3D products are broken? Say we are crazy?"

Bernard said incoherently, and his fingers touched the delicate master: "Do you know how to use Google? You would trouble you to search for our company and search for our holographic technology. What is the ranking in the world? Where do you work?"

"Oh… Is self-confidence being created by making rags?" The Master Craftsman had used his nostrils to look at the desperate fellow, the breath that even the blind could feel thick.

"Let me tell you, and holographic technology is our first."

"If you want to be in the first place, you must prove it."
