Chapter 319: The Lion Opens His Mouth and Extorts Million US Dollars in Foreign Exchange
“Xuemin, you are all back now, right? Is everything going well?”

When the old grandfather entered the yard and saw his grandson-in-law Cheng Xuemin and his family had also returned, he greeted them with a beaming face.

“Uh, Grandpa, we just got back for a while!”

After Cheng Xuemin was stunned for a moment, he quickly greeted his grandfather and said, “I heard from grandma that you are valued by the ministry again and have been invited back to work!”

“Grandpa, you are truly a national treasure. You are still strong and can still contribute to the country!”

Cheng Xuemin flattered him and then tried to test him, asking what the department had asked grandpa to do today.

Otherwise, how could such a bad omen suddenly appear?

Could it be that someone wants to block the technology, or that there are enemy agents trying to harm my grandfather?
It shouldn’t be here. Although enemy spies have always been lurking there, it has been nearly thirty years!

The remaining enemy spies had already died of old age, and those who had retired from the battlefield had given up their jobs!
There is no way for them to sneak in from outside, so there are actually quite few lurking enemy spies.

Even if there is, they wouldn’t attack an old man like my grandfather, right?

unless!

This time, the old man really touched the core and was able to help the country break through the technical blockade barriers.

“Uh?!”

“Students!”

“Your dad always said you weren’t very good at speaking, so why are you so eloquent today?”

The old grandfather was really pleased to hear Cheng Xuemin’s flattery.

But he soon realized that his granddaughter’s son-in-law was not like this in the past. He was usually quiet and was either writing articles or studying. It was rare for him to be as eloquent as he was today.

But he just smiled and quickly got down to business, and continued to say to Cheng Xuemin with a smug look on his face, “I don’t dare to be the national treasure!”

“But speaking of the most important national equipment, this time the ministry is going to spend a huge amount of money to import a top-notch device from Japan. This is the most important national equipment!”

“If it can be successfully introduced, our country’s heavy industry will be able to achieve a qualitative improvement!”

“such a pity!”

“The Japanese offer is too high, and they are refusing to give in. Our foreign exchange reserves are limited, so we have to ask the old guys to come over and have a look to see if we can cut out some unnecessary parts to save some foreign exchange!”

Cheng Xuemin was not surprised to hear this.

Now that reform and opening up are accelerating, industries that earn foreign exchange are certainly the top priority, but our industrial technology is indeed far behind.

If you want to improve industry, you must replace old industrial equipment with new ones and upgrade them.

How to upgrade?
It must be imported from abroad. My grandfather told me that it was imported from small notebooks.

In this era, Xiaobian is competing with Germany in terms of technology, and its products are catching up and it also has an advantage in price.

But after hearing what my grandfather said, no matter how advantageous it is, it must be too expensive for us with our weak foreign exchange reserves.

Since it is too expensive and the other party is unwilling to lower the price, we can only do as my grandfather said and cut some unimportant parts to achieve the goal of reducing foreign exchange expenditure.

But it is such a big thing, which parts can be eliminated and which parts can be replaced by domestic ones? It is not something that can be done just by drawing or talking about it casually!
We must gather authoritative experts together to study and discuss!
Otherwise, if a major artery is cut off, and a huge amount of money is spent to import a defective product, no one can bear the responsibility.

At the moment, I was also curious about what kind of equipment they wanted to introduce when they summoned my grandfather and others over?
Following the old grandfather’s words, he curiously asked, “We are going to import large and heavy equipment from Japan?”

“Yes!”

“Xuemin, do you know about the hot rolling mill?”

“We are introducing a 1880-type large hot rolling mill this time, which will greatly improve Shanghai Baosteel’s steelmaking and hot rolling technology!”

“You also know that we are speeding up reform and opening up. Shanghai is an old industrial base and a foreign port. Baosteel is also a pillar industry for earning foreign exchange!”

“But it’s also because our steelmaking quality does not meet international standards, the defective rate is too high, and we are suppressed too harshly by those European and American countries!”

“So this time, Shanghai submitted a report and applied to the higher authorities for the introduction of heavy hot rolling equipment to improve the yield and quality rate of our steel!”

“At the same time, the higher-ups also attached great importance to it, and the project was quickly approved and launched. We are now in contact with the Japanese side for discussions!”

“But the price offered by Japan is still not something we can afford right now!”

It turned out to be a large hot-rolled equipment from the steel plant, so it can indeed be called a national heavy equipment.

After all, our current steelmaking technology level is indeed far behind the international level, but our exported steel is the main source of foreign exchange earnings. However, because of our low yield rate, we are suppressed by some developed countries in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, we now want to upgrade and optimize our equipment and invest huge amounts of money to introduce high-end equipment and technology from abroad.

This was indeed the most important shortcut in the early stage of reform and opening up, and it was also the root of the call for the entire nation to earn foreign exchange.

If you want advanced foreign equipment and technology, you must buy it with US dollars, as the RMB is not recognized.

Thus, the foreign exchange earning craze was set off.

“The 1880 hot rolling mill from Baosteel was imported, right?”

“Why does this suddenly give rise to a bad omen for Grandpa?”

After the key words were triggered from the old foreign grandfather’s mouth, Cheng Xuemin had a flash of thought, and the golden finger in his mind quickly presented a series of related information.

This is similar to decrypting and unsealing an archive.

The files of Baosteel’s 1880 hot rolling mill were unsealed and Cheng Xuemin immediately saw them and learned the relevant secrets.

At the same time, it also let Cheng Xuemin know why his grandfather’s face looked so ominous!
because!

The introduction of this equipment cost the country a whopping 300 million US dollars in foreign exchange, but in the end it turned out to be a joke.

When they realized it was a joke, they angered an old expert named Gu so much that he vomited blood and died on the spot.

Apparently!

The old expert named Gu who was so angry that he vomited blood and died on the spot should be the grandfather in front of Cheng Xuemin.

The time is at the end of December!

After a line of equipment was introduced, it was discovered that a huge joke had occurred. When the old grandfather far away in Yanjing learned about it, he vomited blood and died on the spot.

This……

Cheng Xuemin was completely dumbfounded when he looked at the golden finger in his mind, which had decrypted the file information for him!
Even more angry!

It is really unbearable. An industrial savior like my grandfather did not die under the guns of the Japanese in his early years. Instead, he was played tricks by the Japanese during the decades of peace and was angered to death!
Unforgivable!

Since Cheng Xuemin had predicted this in advance, how could he tolerate such a thing happening again!

Must be stopped!

Not only must we stop it, but we must also make the Japanese pay a heavy price for it.

Immediately!

With something in mind, the golden finger in his brain quickly presented a lot of information and data. Soon, Cheng Xuemin found a way to make the Japanese pay the price!
Get ready now without further delay.

I continued chatting with my grandfather for a while, and soon my mother-in-law and father-in-law came back from get off work one after another!

They must be the first to worry about whether Cheng Xuemin and the others had a smooth journey today.
Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou’s answers must have been very smooth!

Knowing that her sister-in-law Feng Jiamo and her family had actually booked a room at the Friendship Hotel and had not returned, her father-in-law was shocked and her mother-in-law couldn’t help but “blame” her brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin for spoiling her too much.

Fortunately, the second brother is there to take care of it, so I am not too worried.

At the dinner table, Feng Jiayou informed Feng’s father, mother, grandparents, brother and sister-in-law who were present of the results of today’s settlement.

“so much?”

Not to mention the 300,000 US dollars in foreign exchange, they all know that it must be settled compulsorily and converted into RMB!

It was the new policy that allowed Feng’s mother and others to keep 10% of the U.S. dollar cash privately, which surprised them.

Everyone says this policy is good!
When the restrictions are completely relaxed in the future, if I have the opportunity to travel abroad, I won’t have to worry about applying for foreign exchange.

After all, there is a quota for the foreign exchange U.S. dollar cash that you apply to the country for going abroad, and the amount is not high and will not exceed one thousand U.S. dollars in cash.

It’s not like this now. I have 30,000 US dollars in cash in my hand, so I don’t have to worry about this anymore.

The young couple of Feng Jia must have understood what Feng’s mother said.

You definitely need to go out for a walk!
After all, Feng’s mother’s brothers and sisters are all away, and now her grandparents have also moved in to live with them.

What elderly person doesn’t miss his or her children who are living outside?
Therefore, the 30,000 US dollars in cash deposits of Cheng Xuemin and his wife will definitely come in handy in the future.

But when Feng’s mother and others heard that the money was settled in RMB, they actually enjoyed the same additional subsidy policy as foreigners.

He actually brought back more than ten tons of grain coupons, nearly three tons of meat coupons, and so many oil coupons and cloth coupons?

This, this, this… There are so many, how can I eat and spend them?

Anyway, Feng’s mother thought for a moment and had only one thought in her mind: it was impossible to finish the food.

In the past, my family tried countless ways to get food coupons, but in the end, there was no other choice but to pay a high price and buy them directly with real money in the pigeon market.

But they never imagined that the Feng family could stockpile their food and meat coupons by tons!
“mom!”

“That’s what Xuemin and I think!”

“These food coupons and meat coupons have time limits, so I plan to keep some for my family’s own use, and slowly sell the rest before they expire!”

Feng Jiayou told her mother about their plans.

“Then we have to sell it. Otherwise, how can we finish it if we keep it?”

Feng’s mother also nodded. She knew that the food coupons and meat coupons were in short supply in the market across the country, so there would be no problem of no one wanting them.

With this calculation, it is another considerable extra income.

After dinner!

Feng Jiayou and her mother went into the room and were talking in a whisper, so it was not convenient for Cheng Xuemin and the other masters to go in and eavesdrop.

But Cheng Xuemin guessed that it was just a matter of how to give it!
Although Mr. and Mrs. Feng did not have many relatives in Yanjing, their elder and second uncles had relatives such as the mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law.

So since the family suddenly had such a windfall, we had to give some money.

Finally, Feng Jiayou came out of her mother’s room, and Cheng Xuemin knew the result of the final discussion between mother and daughter.

Her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were each given 800 kilograms of grain coupons and 100 kilograms of meat coupons, and 50 kilograms of oil coupons. The cloth coupons would be given during the Chinese New Year.

So with this calculation, the two families directly spent more than half a ton of food coupons and two hundred kilograms of meat coupons.

As for how to divide the money given to them when they return to their parents’ homes?
That is not something they, as nuns, should worry about.

Not only will Feng Jiayou’s brother and sister-in-law have some, but Cheng Xuemin himself will also have to bring back some food and meat coupons to distribute to his relatives in his hometown.

They were all treated equally, and Feng Jiayou did not favor either side.

Also, Feng Jiayou has to be willing to do so!
After all, these are national food coupons and meat coupons, which are actually more sought-after than real gold and silver, and it is very easy to convert them into cash.

So the food coupons and meat coupons that were given out were almost the same as paying money.

But that’s how the world works!

Who asked us to call everyone over today? Everyone knows that there are more than ten tons of food coupons and meat coupons, so it’s not good to be stingy.

After listening to the discussion between the mother and daughter, Cheng Xuemin didn’t care much.

Besides, there is always a way forward!
Now the policy is synchronized with the treatment of foreigners. In the future, Cheng Xuemin will definitely earn a lot of foreign exchange dollars, as he will receive huge subsidies of food and meat coupons every time.

Therefore, in the future, the amount of food coupons and meat coupons hoarded by their family will only increase.

Also, Cheng Xuemin did not mention the fact that his grandfather’s face was a very unlucky omen to his family, not even to his grandfather himself.

Because he had no intention of alarming his grandfather, but instead planned to secretly implement his plan and teach the damn Japanese a painful lesson.

And so, another whole night of trouble went on.

The next day happened to be Sunday, and everyone was resting at home, but my brother-in-law took my sister-in-law out after breakfast!

Obviously she went back to her mother’s home to bring rice and meat to her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

My second uncle, sister-in-law and sister-in-law have not come back yet.

My grandfather was taken away by the department again!
“Mom, it’s Sunday now. Dad has been taken to the Ministry again?”

Feng’s mother watched her father being picked up at home on Sunday and was very surprised.

“Your dad said that the ministry is going to launch a big project and needs these old guys to check it out!”

Hearing the old grandmother’s voice behind him, Cheng Xuemin pushed his bicycle to Yanda.

At the library, I greeted Old Chen who was on duty and began to look for and collect relevant information in the library.

Become!

Cheng Xuemin spent a whole day in the library and finally collected all the relevant information.

Looking at the materials he collected, Cheng Xuemin wondered how to make the Japanese pay a heavy price.

This requires careful thought!

When I went back, my grandfather had already returned, and the ominous signs on his face were becoming more and more severe.

Obviously, the old foreign grandfather is already involved in it, which means that the project in the department is about to be finalized.

“Grandpa, so happy?”

“Is the project about to be finalized?!”

Cheng Xuemin asked his grandfather tentatively.

“Xuemin, you’re back?!” The old grandfather looked at his grandson-in-law with a smile on his face and said, “Yes! We have reduced foreign exchange expenses by 50 million US dollars for the higher-ups, and we are waiting to negotiate with the Japanese representatives tomorrow!”

Helping the country reduce foreign exchange expenditure by 50 million US dollars is indeed a remarkable achievement.

But in fact, in the end!
The Japanese didn’t buy it at all. They refused to give in or lower the price at all. They were very aggressive.

At the same time, we really needed to introduce this production line, so we had to grit our teeth and place the order, but in the end, it turned out to be a joke.

This made the old foreigners, who had reviewed the drawings countless times and failed to find any problems, feel ashamed and blame themselves.

The old grandfather was so angry that he died.

Tomorrow?
Fortunately, Cheng Xuemin acted quickly and collected the information today. Will he be able to give the Japanese a big surprise tomorrow?
“Okay, okay!”

“By the way, Grandpa, we’re going to negotiate with the Japanese tomorrow. Can I go over and watch the fun?”

I must go with them so that I can teach the Japanese a lesson.

“Huh?! Xuemin, are you going?”

“Well, okay, Xuemin, your foreign language skills are also very good, so you can help us translate!”

Knowing that Cheng Xuemin is good at foreign languages ​​and could really help if he went there tomorrow, I agreed without thinking twice!
“That must be no problem!”

Cheng Xuemin smiled and nodded. There would be no problem in being a translator since he was proficient in several languages.

Japanese language is falling, and I have learned more than French.

“I’m back. Did you have fun last night?”

After making an agreement with the foreigner, Cheng Xuemin returned to the backyard and saw that his sister-in-law Feng Jiamo had returned. He greeted her with a smile.

“Brother-in-law, you’re back!”

“You and my sister came back earlier last night, you don’t know how much fun it was…”

When the sister-in-law saw her brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin, she immediately became excited and described vividly how crazy they had been last night.

Cheng Xuemin also listened and agreed.

I thought to myself, if your sister hadn’t secretly hidden all those porn videotapes, would it have been more fun later?

“Is it is it?”

“Mr. Jia, did you find what your sister hid behind the air conditioner?”

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Xuemin asked with a very unkind smile.

My silly sister-in-law, all the real good stuff was secretly hidden by your sister behind the air-conditioning box. I just want to ask you if you have discovered it!

“Ah? My sister is still hiding something behind the air conditioner box?”

“What are you hiding? We can’t see it?”

Sure enough, my sister-in-law’s reaction showed that she had missed it, so forget it!
“I didn’t find anything. That’s fine. Forget it!”

Cheng Xuemin pretended to be serious and shook his head, saying, “Just forget it if you didn’t see it!”
But Feng Jiamo refused to do it!
I have to get to the bottom of it, what is her sister hiding behind the air conditioner box?

Seeing that Cheng Xuemin couldn’t get the answer, she hurriedly ran to her sister to ask!

When they came back in the evening, Feng Jiayou stared at Cheng Xuemin with resentment, and then pinched him suddenly on the waist, causing Cheng Xuemin to cry for his mother in pain.

The next morning, the department’s special car to pick up my grandfather was already waiting outside the door.

At the invitation of the old grandfather, Cheng Xuemin also got on the car.

When I arrived at the place, I found that it was actually an old acquaintance, Lao Luo from the Economic Commission who received me!
“Cheng Xuemin? Our pioneer and great hero, how come you have time to come to our Economic Commission today?”

Lao Luo came over and saw Cheng Xuemin, the young pioneer, also coming over. He was surprised and greeted him.

“Hello, Director Luo!” Cheng Xuemin also quickly greeted with a smile.

“I, an old man, took the initiative and thought of asking Xuemin to come over and help with translation! He is very good at foreign languages!” The old grandfather said to his grandson-in-law, recommending the talented person regardless of his relationship with him.

“Great, great, that’s great! We really lack a translator who can speak fluent Japanese!”

“Xuemin, your Japanese is also very good, right?”

Lao Luo agreed to it. Although they had arranged a Japanese translator, there were not many people like Cheng Xuemin. He thought that it was just that Mr. Gu wanted to bring the younger generation here to broaden their horizons.

“Ah? Look at me, I’m so confused, Japanese?!”

“Xuemin seems to be learning English, but…Xuemin, can you speak Japanese?”

Upon hearing what Lao Luo said, the old man realized that his grandson-in-law’s strong point was English, and it seemed that he could not speak Japanese!

“Grandpa, I know a little Japanese too!”

Cheng Xuemin responded in a very immodest way.

“That’s good, that’s good!”

After hearing what his grandson-in-law said, the old man finally felt relieved. But since he had already come here, could he still send back just because his grandson-in-law couldn’t speak Japanese?
“What, Xuemin, you’re going to be at the negotiation table later, do you have something to say?”

After a brief exchange with Lao Luo and the others, Cheng Xuemin expressed his wishes and ideas, which aroused the suspicion of Director Luo of the Economic Committee.

“Yes, Director Luo, I hope I can take the lead in the negotiations later!” Cheng Xuemin followed.

Good guy!
He doesn’t even want to speak, and he has to lead the entire negotiation. What is going on?
Lao Luo looked at Mr. Gu who was communicating with other engineers next to him, his face full of disbelief.

The old grandfather was also shocked when he heard what Cheng Xuemin said. Xuemin did not communicate with him in advance on the way here!

Why do you ask Ronaldinho for this privilege right from the start?
This is not their cultural niche, and they really can’t allow their grandson-in-law to act so recklessly.

“Director Luo, this is the case. I have collected some information and I hope you will consider it carefully.”

Immediately, Cheng Xuemin no longer hid it and took out the information he had sorted out and handed it to Lao Luo.

“Oh, is it so?”

“It seems that you, Xuemin, came prepared! Then we know what to do!@”

Based on my understanding of this young pioneer, he should not be a young and reckless person.

He immediately took the information handed over by Cheng Xuemin with doubt, and looked through it again. However, after just two glances, his face suddenly became extremely shocked, and his eyes began to turn red.

“This……”

“Director Luo, I once again hope that I can take the lead in today’s negotiations!”

Seeing Lao Luo’s face full of shock and horror, with his hands shaking, Cheng Xuemin volunteered again.

“Xuemin, these materials…Okay, you will take charge of the negotiations later!”

“But I want to know, Xuemin, what do you think?”

Lao Luo acted decisively and without hesitation chose to delegate power and temporarily let Cheng Xuemin lead the negotiations.

“Wait a minute, Director Luo, just wait and see. We will definitely not let ourselves suffer any loss!”

“Okay, with what you said, Xuemin, I know what’s going on!”

Following Lao Luo, they quickly asked for instructions from their superiors. The relevant senior leaders also heard the news and rushed over.

After a brief exchange with Cheng Xuemin, they delegated the authority to let him do it boldly, and they would support him in everything.

Otherwise, if it weren’t for the pioneering young general Cheng Xuemin who stepped forward today, the Economic Commission’s embarrassing situation would have really been exposed internationally.

quickly!

The negotiations went on as scheduled!

Our side participating in this negotiation was led by Luo Chu from the Economic Commission, accompanied by several other engineers. My grandfather was arranged in the outer hall to accompany the old leader.

Among them, Cheng Xuemin sat at the end as the recording clerk!
This was arranged by the old leader. Cheng Xuemin is a trump card.

In order to ensure that Cheng Xuemin’s trump card can be used at the most critical moment, it is not placed in a conspicuous position.

at the same time!

The Japanese team was led by no high-level government officials, only a vice president of a Japanese company.

Therefore, this scene is not worthy of the old leader’s personal intervention!
but!

The old leader can still see every move at the negotiation table clearly in the small conference room through the two-way glass in the large conference room!
At the same time, you can also hear any details at the negotiation table through the microphone.

This is an early conference monitoring arrangement!

After Cheng Xuemin entered the negotiation room, the Japanese delegation soon entered in an orderly manner.

This time!
The Japanese negotiating team was quite large, with twelve people coming, led by an old Japanese named Mitsui Sotaro.

The golden finger in Cheng Xuemin’s brain triggered the keyword “Mitsui Sotaro”, and soon he had the connection with this old ghost!
In an instant, Cheng Xuemin had completely grasped all the details of this old devil.

It turns out that this old devil is ostensibly the vice president of Hitachi Heavy Industries!

but!

His true identity is actually the current head of the Mitsui family, one of the four major shareholder families of the Mitsui Group, and also the vice president of the Mitsui Group.

The president of the Mitsui Group above him is Toshio Domitsu, the founder of Toshiba Heavy Industries Group!

As for the Mitsui Group, it is the first Japanese corporate group to enter the Chinese market since the big brother Soviet Union completely withdrew from the country!

at the same time!

The Mitsui Group is one of the three most famous Japanese conglomerates, and its history can be traced back to the last century!
Almost shared all the heavy industry and military industry fields of the Japanese with the Mitsubishi Group!

Hitachi Heavy Industries is one of the heavy industry companies under the Mitsui Group, focusing on the production of hot rolling mills.

Judging from the scale of the Japanese negotiation team this time, a project worth three hundred million US dollars in foreign exchange is also a big project for them!

after all!

From the search results, we can see that the annual GDP of Hitachi Heavy Industries, owned by Sotaro Mitsui, is only around 2 billion US dollars!
and so!
In the Chinese delegation, it was necessary to cut foreign exchange expenditure by more than 50 million US dollars at once, and even old man Sotaro Mitsui could not sit still!
He even went so far as to personally lead the negotiation team into the country for negotiations.

I have a clear idea of ​​it.

Since the deputy head of one of the three major Japanese conglomerates has entered the country, Cheng Xuemin has to give him a good treat.

Behind a set of 1880mm hot rolling mill equipment, there is the shadow of Mitsui Group!
Sorry!
Cheng Xuemin changed his mind and his appetite grew!
I had originally planned to help the State Economic Commission, extort 300 million US dollars in foreign exchange from him, and get this production line for free.

For the Mitsui Group, this is really not too easy.

because!

The Mitsui Group has a bank that is like a money-eating beast, and its name is Sakura Bank!

Sakura Bank is the largest bank in Japan and is also a well-known bank internationally.

and so!
The Mitsui Group does not want to face global condemnation and claims due to the design defects of Hitachi Heavy Industries’ 1880mm hot rolling mill!
It would cost… 500 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange!

Cheng Xuemin has temporarily raised the price, and the hush money has been increased to 500 million US dollars in foreign exchange!
because!

Cheng Xuemin knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would miss that opportunity forever!
This is a one-time deal.

This was because Cheng Xuemin had already obtained the evidence of their fatal design flaw through the golden finger, and it was right in his hand, ready to be thrown out like a royal bomb.

……

The old Japanese was really polite and humble, and kept bowing.

but!
We must not be lulled into complacency by the despicable side of the Japanese.

Wait until the negotiations begin!
Lao Luo was the first to stand up and expressed his opinion that the Japanese had committed serious fraud in the contract.

This is what Lao Luo just discovered from the information brought by Cheng Xuemin!

Lao Luo and his friends would never have imagined that the hot rolling mill production line that the Japanese gave them as a complete set actually included a set of electronic flush toilets.

The price is as high as 20 million US dollars!
In other words, the staff of their collective project team did not even notice that there was such a flush toilet inlaid with gold bricks hidden on the blueprint.

Twenty million US dollars, just to buy a flush toilet for the Japanese?
If this gets out, how will all the staff of the Economic Commission project team put their faces?
it’s good now!

After hearing Director Luo’s questioning, the little devil actually humbly asked for advice, asking Director Luo to point out which clause in the contract contained fraud! ?

After Lao Luo showed a blueprint, a hint of surprise obviously flashed across the Japanese soldiers’ faces.

It is clear!
The reason why they dared to set this thing up in a complete set of equipment is that they were sure that the Chinese side would not find out at all.

Because their methods are so secretive, technologically backward countries generally cannot detect them at all, and they have been successful every time.

On the Chinese side, facts have proven!

In the previous rounds of negotiations, the Chinese side did not even mention it.

Apparently unaware!
but!

When it was the crucial moment to sign the contract, I discovered it by chance! ?

and!

China’s confidentiality work is very effective!
At this point, they are all kept in the dark, and are still being mentioned by the Chinese side at the negotiation table!

This time!
It really caught Mitsui Sotaro and other old devils off guard!
Face this question!

Sotaro Mitsui did not respond casually, but left it to professional engineers to handle!
Then, Mitsui Sotaro’s eyes fell on Tanaka Hisashige, the technical advisor and chief engineer of their delegation.

Tanaka Hisashige was an old devil in his early fifties. He adjusted the frame of his glasses, glanced at the drawing pointed out by Lao Luo, and said:

“Luosang! This supporting facility is an indispensable part of the 1880 hot rolling mill equipment set!
You can visit Japan, South Korea, and other countries that have imported our 1880mm hot rolling mills, and you will find that it is an indispensable part! “

“Nonsense! We spend a lot of money to import your equipment because we believe in your equipment and your technology! We don’t spend precious foreign exchange to import garbage toilets from your country!”

Lao Luo exploded on the spot. He was really angry. It was too fucking big!

These little Japanese guys really bully them because they are backward and don’t know anything!

Fortunately, Cheng Xuemin discovered the situation in time and saved the situation, otherwise he, as the person in charge, would have been ashamed and resigned.

How can a garbage toilet be related to a hot rolling mill?

If Cheng Xuemin had not discovered it in time this time, Lao Luo, the chief engineer of this project, would have been really finished, and the shame would have been brought to the international community.

just now!

They’ve already pointed it out and are in court, but the damn Japs are still talking so righteously!
“Yoshi! If Luosang really wants to remove this piece, we can help him! However, we will not be responsible for any unpleasantness that occurs later due to the lack of this piece!”

“Very good! What we mean is that it must be reduced!”

Lao Luo said, we are not responsible for anything you say.
A garbage toilet can affect the overall situation! ?
“Soga! Then according to your wishes, reduce the value by one million US dollars!”

“What?! Only one million less!?”

This time, not only Lao Luo was furious, but even the engineer who had been silent was also angry!

Damn Japs!
They clearly quoted a price of 20 million US dollars for the garbage toilet, but they only reduced the price by 1 million US dollars! ?
Isn’t this bullshit! ?
……

The Japanese devils are so arrogant!

Cheng Xuemin sat in the back seat, listening quietly, and did not immediately reveal his trump card!

He is waiting!
Previously, Cheng Xuemin had a brief rehearsal of the current negotiations with his old leader and Lao Luo.

and so!
We have taken the Japanese’s toughness and arrogance into consideration!
Be prepared for the Japanese to lower their prices!

but!

I never thought that the Japanese would be so arrogant and rampant!

In the previous preview!
Take that garbage toilet worth 20 million US dollars!
The old leaders and their colleagues had thought that the Japanese would lower the price, and they were also prepared to be lowered in price.

Therefore, a reduction of 15 million US dollars is the bottom line of the old leader.

but!

What a fucking one million! ?
Who the hell are the little devils trying to fool?
If Cheng Xuemin had not revealed in advance that he would definitely get a 1880mm hot rolling mill equipment production line from the Japanese for free this time, Lao Luo would probably have gone crazy at this moment!

jump!

Be crazy!
Be arrogant!
The harder the Japs press, the more excited they become in lowering the price. Later, you will have to swallow back the price you bargained for!

We have to force those damn Japanese devils to swallow their anger even if it means breaking their teeth!

At last!
“Is this your negotiating attitude?” Lao Luo pointed at the table and asked.

After Lao Luo pointed out all the loopholes in the drawings!

The total amount of budget cuts did not exceed five million US dollars, which is a full ten times difference from the budget reduction of more than 50 million US dollars budgeted by Lao Luo and his team.

“Luosang! We have already discussed our opinions before!
The 1880mm hot rolling mill complete equipment production line you introduced is a complete set, they are integrated!

Therefore, our suggestion is that you should not cut back on the number of employees!”

“Of course! To show our sincerity, we will give you a discount of 5 million US dollars on the original price!”

It was Mitsui Sotaro who spoke on the Japanese side, and he also made the final decision!
Co-authored!

You were arguing so arrogantly just to get a discount here?!
at the same time!

The price we were arguing about just now is also their preferential price!
It sounds like we’re getting a great deal!
However, the Japanese still sold the electronic toilets to us in packages in disguise.

As for why, the Japanese had to sell electronic toilets in a package! ?

The Japs must have some purpose!

Their intention is to use electronic toilets to cover up the fatal flaws in the design of their hot rolling mills.

The Japanese really went to great lengths to cover up this fatal flaw!

Even electronic toilets are used!
This is also the hot rolling machine they export. After a major accident occurred, they were unable to find out the specific cause!

because!

Who the hell would have thought that the Japanese would hide this design flaw in a toilet! ?
Who the hell would go to the toilet to find out the reason! ?
and so!
The Japanese have to sell this electronic toilet as a package!
but!

If you want to sell it, just sell it. Why do you have to try to have the best of both worlds?! ?

An electronic toilet can actually be sold at a high price of 20 million US dollars, and they still refuse to let go!
This is too arrogant and crazy!

“You mean, we have to buy this electronic toilet?!”

Lao Luo’s tone has become increasingly low, and he is on the verge of exploding!
“You naughty little devil!”

The old leader in the monitoring conference room was already banging the table and cursing!
What a bunch of beasts in human clothing!
In the negotiation etiquette, the Japanese were polite and polite, but when they really got to the negotiation table, they were so shameless.

“There’s nothing more to talk about! Xiao Cheng, it’s your turn!”

The old leader directly turned on the intercom and gave instructions to the negotiation meeting room opposite without any disguise.

In an instant!

The old leader’s voice of instructions could be heard from every corner of the negotiation meeting room.

Then, before Mitsui Sotaro could finish his words, he was interrupted by this voice!
After being stunned, I finally realized that the sound came from outside!

“Luo Sang! You have no sincerity at all. You actually eavesdropped on our negotiation. You were so rude and interrupted our negotiation for no reason!”

“I protest! This is a great insult to our Japanese delegation!”

Sotaro Mitsui protested on the spot!

Afterwards, after getting the translator’s translation, I was shocked again!
He even glanced around at the Chinese representative at the opposite negotiating table, intending to find that “Xiao Cheng”.

Sotaro Mitsui didn’t expect it!

This time, China is really well prepared and full of confidence!

Not only will the loopholes in the electronic toilet be found from the massive tonnage-level drawings.

Now, there is a killer trick! ?
Bad feeling!
Sotaro Mitsui has already smelled the scent of the Hongmen Banquet.

“Luosang! You guys don’t want to negotiate with us, but set up a Hongmen Banquet and ask us to attend it!?”

Mitsui Sotaro looked around but didn’t find the so-called ‘Xiao Cheng!’

because!

Those at the other side’s negotiating table are all negotiators who have been involved in this project before, and the old devil has more or less an impression of them!

So, who could this Xiao Cheng be?
“The Hongmen Banquet? Mr. Mitsui, you really know a lot about our country’s culture! But, since you guys are calling it the Hongmen Banquet, then let’s just call it the Hongmen Banquet!”

Lao Luo had been waiting for the old leader’s instructions for a long time. After taking a glance at the Japanese delegation, he said, “Xuemin, you can start!”

“Luosang, you guys…”

Before Mitsui Sotaro could finish his words, a young Chinese man suddenly stood up in a corner of the negotiation meeting room!

It’s him! ?
The old Japanese soldiers like Mitsui Sotaro did not expect that China’s last trump card was actually disguised as a recorder, sitting in a very inconspicuous corner.

and!

Wait until the young man stood up and walked towards this side!

Old devils like Mitsui Sotaro were very abrupt, and had a strong sense of crisis and coercion.

Wait until this young man walks to the front desk and says the first words to them!

All of a sudden, Mitsui Sotaro and others felt as if they were struck by lightning.

“Your delegation, I just listened carefully and analyzed it carefully!

You are willing to sell us the electronic toilet at a discount of 5 million US dollars. Can I assume that there is a secret that you cannot reveal? “
