Chapter Fifty-Eight: The First Pot of Gold

In his previous life, Li Weidong relied on doing business and accumulated a value of more than 100 million, and in the process of decades of hard work, Li Weidong has not been without heels, and he has also encountered a lot of deceptive tricks.

For example, Li Weidong has seen the goods without giving the final payment, false orders to cheat quotations, making a short company and wanting empty gloves white wolf, and even pretending to be relatives of high-ranking officials to cheat money.

There are too many deceptive things in the shopping mall, especially in the first ten years of the rise of the private economy, the domestic laws and regulations are not perfect, and all kinds of deceptive routines are endless.

After experiencing so many winds and waves, Li Weidong naturally knows the indispensable truth of guarding against others. Dealing with a world-class large amount like Tianfeng Company, of course, you have to keep a hand. This kind of multinational corporation is not a docile little sheep.

So at the beginning, Li Weidong didn't plan to just sell an article to Tianfeng Company, he prepared a manuscript of "Carraro Maintenance Manual" early.

Carraro is Tianfeng's most popular model, Li Weidong was a trainee at RB, he repaired a lot of Carraro, and he knew all about Carraro's common faults, coupled with the experience of writing JN162 repair manuals in the Yellow River Factory, so that Li Weidong could quickly write 100 pages of Carraro repair manuals.

Of course, this "Carraro Repair Manual" is very crudely written, Tianfeng Company has so many world-class automotive engineers, Li Weidong did not expect Tianfeng Company to rely on this manual to repair Carraro, this manual is just a cover for Li Weidong to collect money.

Selling an article is completely different in nature from selling a book.

A separate article on the accelerator pedal, is targeted.

If this article is sold to Tianfeng Company, it can be regarded as Tianfeng Company spending hush money to shut up Li Weidong, which is equivalent to Tianfeng Company's public relations expenses.

From another point of view, it can also be regarded as Li Weidong taking advantage of the design defects of the accelerator pedal to extort 25 million yen from Tianfeng Company, which is no different from extortion.

Selling the whole book is different, it is a transfer of copyright of a literary work, which is equivalent to collecting a manuscript fee, which is completely legal.

As for the article about the failure of the accelerator pedal, it has also become part of the content of the book, and it is not targeted.

Writing a book on car repair, part of which is about the cause of a certain malfunction, is the equivalent of a medical book about the cause and a math book about theorems, which is a matter of course.

This is like a paparazzi taking a photo of a celebrity's cheating, and then taking the photo to the celebrity to extort money, which is obviously an act of extortion.

And if this paparazzi publishes a book on photography skills, and "inadvertently" puts the celebrity cheating photos into it as an example, at most it is an infringement of the celebrity's portrait rights, and it cannot be regarded as extortion.

It can be said that Li Weidong used this method to turn the 25 million yen into legal income, at least nominally legal, and at the same time put an end to Tianfeng Company's troubles.

Kato Masayuki didn't expect that Li Weidong would have such a little trick, and when he saw the "Literary Works Transfer Authorization Agreement" and the manuscript of the "Carraro Maintenance Manual", he knew that the follow-up methods against Li Weidong were completely useless.

The article on the failure of the accelerator pedal is only part of the Carraro Repair Manual, and it is legal to publish a book on car repair in any country.

Tianfeng company can not because the maintenance manual analyzes the cause of the failure, just go to sue Li Weidong for extortion, the analysis of the cause of the failure in the maintenance manual of the car is a normal thing!

After thinking about this, Kato Masayuki didn't want to sign the "Literary Works Transfer Authorization Agreement", once this contract was signed, it was useless to call the police or find pressure from the embassy, and Li Weidong's 25 million yen was instantly whitewashed.

Li Weidong's attitude is very clear, if he does not sign this "Literary Works Transfer Authorization Agreement", Li Weidong will not make a transaction with Gentian Feng Company. Especially when Li Weidong mentioned the words "extortion", Kato Masayuki had already realized that Minister Xiangshan's plan had failed.

"What should I do? To sign or not to sign? If I don't sign, there will be no way to shut Li Weidong's mouth. But if you sign it, how can you explain it to Minister Xiangshan!" Kato Masayuki fell into a conflict.

Li Weidong seemed to see Kato Masayuki's concerns, and he said: "Mr. Kato, for Tianfeng Company, 25 million yen is just a drop in the bucket, and it is definitely worth the money to spend 25 million yen to buy the copyright of a Carraro repair manual. ”

Kato Masayuki was silent, but he also knew that Tian Feng did not lose money by paying 25 million yen for the failure of the accelerator pedal to settle the matter.

But I gave away 25 million yen for nothing, and I panicked in my heart!

Li Weidong continued to persuade: "Mr. Kato, no matter what kind of instructions your boss gives you, you are the specific executor of this matter. You may not be rewarded for your work, you do it successfully, but at least you won't be punished, but if you mess up......"

Li Weidong smiled deliberately, and then said: "I have heard a sentence that is the most appropriate to describe RB's workplace, the credit of subordinates is the credit of the boss, and the fault of the boss is the fault of the subordinates!"

Kato Masayuki's body shook suddenly, and the famous words in "Hanzawa Naoki" instantly resonated with Kato Masayuki.

In RB's workplace culture, the middle level of the company is the angry bag and the backstabber, as a veteran fritter in his early forties, Kato Masayuki empathizes with this.

"Li Weidong is right, although Minister Xiang Shan gave instructions, but the specific executor is me, if the matter is done, really send Li Sang to the present, Minister Xiang Shan can go to the executive to ask for credit;

Thinking of this, Masayuki Kato finally made a decision.

"Li San, take the contract, I'm going to read it carefully!" Kato Masayuki said.

Li Weidong handed the contract to Kato Masayuki and said at the same time: "Mr. Kato, if you think that you can't explain it when you sign this contract, I can provide you with a message and ask you to go back and explain." ”

"What information?" asked Masayuki Kato immediately.

"Mr. Kato, in fact, the Jinmen Automobile Factory has no intention of building a joint venture with Tianfeng Automobile, and it is nothing more than a waste of time for you to inspect here. Li Weidong said.

"Why do you say that? I see that the officials of your foreign trade department are very interested in facilitating this cooperation. Kato asked puzzled.

Li Weidong did not answer, but handed the pen to Kato Masayuki.

At this point, Kato Masayuki can't sign it.

So Kato Masayuki signed his name on the contract, and Li Weidong also accepted the three cashier's checks.

25 million yen was in hand, and finally there was the first pot of gold, Li Weidong was happy in his heart.

"Li San, can you tell me the truth of the matter now?" asked Masayuki Kato.

"Of course, the foreign trade department wants to cooperate with Tianfeng Automobile, but Jinmen Automobile Factory is not willing. Mr. Kato, you must know that the foreign trade department does not have the jurisdiction of the Tsumen Automobile Factory. Li Weidong replied.

"What the hell is going on? Li Sang, please tell me the truth. Please. Kato Masayuki said, and he was about to bow to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong did not stop Kato Masayuki's etiquette, and waited until Kato Masayuki finished bowing before Li Weidong spoke: "Mr. Kato, you should know that Tsumen Automobile cooperated with Daihatsu Automobile in Osaka to introduce a K-car, right?"

The K-car in Li Weidong's mouth refers to the Daihatsu van, a light van that is called K-car in RB.

Kato Masayuki nodded, indicating that he knew about the Daihatsu van.

Li Weidong continued: "Then Mr. Kato, have you heard that Daihatsu has a model called Charade?"
