What was an irresistible reason?
It was that during the performance of the contract, they encountered messy things that could not be solved by manpower, and the responsibility was not on them.
All contracts will have an exemption clause for irresistible factors, but it is very rare to really encounter this clause being fulfilled.
"Your city does not meet the conditions for the installation of our equipment."
Engineer Bernard shook his head regretfully: "You are too cold. We checked the weather in the next few days. After research, we agreed that the equipment could not be installed."
"When talking about the contract, didn't you say that the equipment could be operated outdoors around zero degrees, and you promised to ensure that it could be installed in place."
Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang hurried to the engineer and stared at him: "I have also checked the weather in the next few days. It is neither raining nor breaking through minus five degrees. Is your equipment a porcelain doll that can't stay in a few degrees below zero weather? "
"Our equipment can operate normally in a sub-zero environment." Engineer Bernard's face was a little embarrassed, and he said angrily: "You can only blame the air humidity here for being too high, and the temperature difference between morning and night is large. Our holographic projection screen is placed outdoors, and it is bound to be covered with a thick layer of ice. "
"The ice can't be projected, and the special interlayer in the projection screen may also change in volume due to low temperature."
"We will refuse to perform the contract according to the irresistible factors in the contract. After deducting the freight and service fees, we will return the deposit. "
"How can you do this?" Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang felt that all the plans had been disrupted. Holographic projection was the key part of the publicity, and the people of the entire Four Commons were waiting for it.
Because this holographic projection screen would be erected high, the citizens could see it from the outside. In addition, this was the shooting of the most popular director in China, Ding Yin, not only the residents of the Four Commons, but also guests from all over the world were waiting for it.
The bold words of the Four Commons were written on the leaflets and invitations. Now the German company told them that the Four Commons refused to install holographic equipment because of the high air humidity and the glass would be covered with a thick layer of ice outside?
"Then install the screen on the last day. If it doesn't freeze, get on the ladder to remove the ice!"
"A very imaginative idea." Engineer Bernard showed an arrogant smile: "The debugging time is at least three days. If the screen is not installed in advance, how can we debug dozens of projection equipment?"
"There are only nine sets of this kind of equipment in the world, all produced by our company. Deicing the ladder truck? Do you know that when we install this kind of projection screen, we have to wear soft silicone gloves to prevent scratches on the surface of the glass? "
After that, Bernard, the engineer, gave his companions a look and left the temporary office, ignoring their persuasion. He called the headquarters to report the situation.
"You, you!" Deputy Chief Tong Xuanqiang was so angry that his eyes rolled back. These foreigners were not here to do business and earn money. They were clearly here to be masters.
When they signed the contract, promises sounded nice. Now, whenever they encountered a problem, they would refuse to fulfill the contract. Not to mention the liquidated damages, the Four Commons also had to pay for transportation and service.
If it were a domestic manufacturer, not to mention freezing, they would do everything they could to deal with the magma. However, they were the world's top holographic equipment manufacturer. If you didn't look up to them, you wouldn't be able to get the most ideal holographic image effect.
Thinking of this, Deputy Bureau Chief Tong Xuanqiang sat back in his chair dispiritedly.
"Hello ~ Mayor Xu … we have a problem here."
Deputy Bureau Chief Tong Xuanqiang reported the situation here in detail. After a few seconds of silence, a low reply came from the other side of the phone.
"Try to keep them, you can increase the reward appropriately, and discuss solutions at the same time."
The more humid the air is, the easier it is for outdoor objects to freeze in winter. People in the Four Commons have long been accustomed to this phenomenon, but they didn't expect it to become an irresistible factor.
Deputy Bureau Chief Tong Xuanqiang was about to go out to find them, but he almost collided with Bernard, who pushed the door back.
Tong Xuanqiang: "Can you find a way?"
Bernard: "There is actually a solution."
The two spoke at the same time, and after the translation, Bernard showed a victorious smile.
This kind of smile often appears in business exchanges, especially when the two sides of the buyer and seller are not equal.
Whenever this kind of smile appears, it means that one side is going to be ripped off.
"Considering that you need this equipment very much, we discussed it with the headquarters. We think that we can maintain the normal operation of the projection screen by adding a high-tech gas deicing system. "
Engineer Bernard breathed out hot air and kept rubbing his hands: "This system needs to be purchased from Germany and flown in at a cost of four million yuan."
Deputy Bureau Chief Tong Xuanqiang was full of anger and had no place to vent it. The other party was a well-known foreign company. Even if he wanted to pinch it, there was no way.
"What kind of gas deicing costs four million yuan?" Deputy Bureau Chief Tong Xuanqiang gritted his teeth and said: "Can't we use domestic products? We will purchase them at our own expense."
"Of course not. When encountering bad weather and such irresistible factors, we decided to take a risk. We have done our best. How can we purchase equipment without quality assurance from Hua Xia? "
Four million …
Deputy Bureau Chief Tong Xuanqiang was about to bite his teeth and agree. The Monster Heavy Industries engineer, who had been sitting in the chair drinking tea, stood up.
"A broken glass curtain can't be made. Are you qualified to criticize the quality of Hua Xia's products?"
The Master Craftsman laughed: "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard."
"A broken gas deicing device dares to pull high-tech and dare to ask for two million yuan?"
"Have you all gone mad from poverty?" The Master Craftsman, with his hands on his back, walked to the engineer Bernard, and his eyes were full of ridicule and contempt.
In the temporary office, there was suddenly an inexplicable silence.
Everyone in the office did not expect that the unsightly engineer from Monster Heavy Industries would have such a hot temper. Will
So mercilessly criticize the engineer from Germany.
Although the scene was very embarrassing, many people felt quite happy in their hearts. What the foreign engineer said, even they felt angry, let alone an old engineer in Hua Xia who has worked hard for the industry all his life?
Isn't this insulting?
Deputy Bureau Chief Tong Xuanqiang's tongue was hanging out, and he was racking his brains to think about how to get the scene back.
However, this move is doomed to be futile, but the more powerful people in a certain professional field, the more proud they are.
This is called the arrogance brought by talent. The words of the Master Craftsman directly made the engineer Bernard, who thought he was talented, and his heart and liver were about to smoke.
His eyes bulged high, and his face was like a pig's liver that had been frozen outside for a night.
"Who are you? How dare you say that our products made by SAX3D are broken? Say that we are crazy? "
Bernard was so angry that he pointed at the Master Craftsman: "Can you use Google? I'll trouble you to search our company and search for our holographic technology. What's the ranking in the world?"
"Where are you a worker?"
"Yo ~ You've managed to create confidence out of trash?" The Master Craftsman looked at the angry guy with his nostrils, and even the blind could feel the strong disregard in his breath.
"I'll tell you, holographic technology is our first.
