Chapter 687: Don't mess with Feng Xiaochen
"What do you mean by Iketani Works?"
Zhao Xinwei's eyebrows furrowed into pimples. He was appointed by Cao Zhiyuan to inquire about the news, and Guo Peiyuan, as a broker, naturally wanted to eat both inside and outside, with foreign businessmen on one side and Chinese officials on the other, sometimes he was entrusted by foreign businessmen to inquire about China's intelligence, and sometimes he was the other way around, to understand the situation of foreign businessmen for Chinese officials. When many negotiations between China and foreign countries cannot reach an agreement at the negotiation table, someone needs to lead the conversation and inquire about each other's reserve price, and Guo Peiyuan is such an intermediary.
Zhao Xin didn't know Guo Peiyuan very early, and when he was still in college, he was introduced to this broker who had a lot of face among Japanese businessmen. Guo Peiyuan also took Zhao Xinwei to do miscellaneous work for Japanese businessmen, such as temporarily acting as a translator at the exhibition, which can be regarded as a work-study program. After Zhao Xinwei graduated from college and joined the work, his contact with Guo Peiyuan has not been interrupted, Guo Peiyuan has helped him do a lot of things, and he has also received a few meager consulting fees in his hands.
Of course, what Guo Peiyuan likes about Zhao Xinwei is not the consulting fee, but Zhao Xinwei's status as a government official. In fact, the news about China's intention to bid for Argentina's large fertilizer project was not disclosed to Guo Peiyuan by Zhao Xin, and Guo Peiyuan reported it to Nakamura Jingichi at the first time, which was half a month earlier than Uchida Yu learned the news through other channels.
"The equipment company wants to win the four sets of fertilizer equipment in Argentina, and now it is stuck on the patent license of Iketani Manufacturing. As long as Iketani Manufacturing doesn't let go, there is nothing the equipment company can do. At this time, Iketani said that it could transfer the patented technology to the Chinese side for a fee, what is going on?" Zhao Xinwei muttered.
"What's going on?" Guo Peiyuan said with sarcasm on his face, "Of course I want to be famous." Little devils are not like this, they like to be famous and clever all day long, and they really think that others can't see through it. ”
"Uh......" Zhao Xinwei was a little unable to answer, in his impression, Guo Peiyuan was a complete "Jingri", how could such a contemptuous title as "little devil" come out? Shouldn't this be the kind of indignant or indignant words that Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji should use? However, there are only the two of them here, and Zhao Xinwei is not suitable to correct Guo Peiyuan's words, so he can only pretend to have tinnitus and ask instead:
"Mr. Guo, you said that the Japanese want to build a famous hall, what kind of famous hall is it?"
"I don't know. Guo Peiyuan said, "Maybe it's to delay time, maybe it's to explore the hole cards of the equipment company, in short, I dare to pack the ticket, they will never transfer the core patent to the equipment company, unless Uchida Yu's head has been kicked by a donkey." ”
Another foul word, Zhao Xinwei said in his heart. This old Guo, since he squatted in prison for a year, has obviously given up on himself. While earning money from the Japanese, he was making nonsense against the Japanese behind his back, completely losing the posture of bowing down to the Japanese in the past. Could it be that something stimulated you?
"So, how should I tell the people at the equipment company about these things?" Zhao Xin asked.
Guo Peiyuan said: "You can just pass the word directly, and don't say anything else." Don't worry, the people in the equipment company, especially that Feng ...... , are all sticky to the master who is more fine than a monkey, Uchida Yu plays with them, and sooner or later he will have to play off. ”
"Why do you think so highly of that Feng Xiaochen? I think this guy is also a young man, how deep can he be?" Zhao Xinwei couldn't help but asked.
"How deep is the Tao?" Guo Peiyuan sneered, "Xiao Zhao, we are also old friends, there is a saying, I don't tell others, but I still have to say it to you." You can mess with anyone, don't mess with this Feng Xiaochen, you can't afford to mess with it. ”
"Why?"
"Why? Because he's not a guy who plays cards as usual. If you change to any other official, you have to take into account the impact somewhat, right? This Feng Xiaochen is purely a shameless guy, in order to achieve his goal, he can do anything, really special meow is not a thing!"
"No, he is also the general manager of the company, I think he is still quite disciplined, but the Wang Genji under him is full of foul language, if you say that Wang Genji is not a thing, I approve it with both hands. ”
"Some people have bad hearts, don't be deceived by their appearance. Let me tell you, you have only been cheated by Feng Xiaochen before you know how ruthless this person is. Meow's ...... I don't want to see him again. ”
Guo Peiyuan's true knowledge gained through painful experience is, in Zhao Xinwei's view, just the whining and strange words of an outdated Internet celebrity. Zhao Xin didn't know about Guo Peiyuan being imprisoned for framing Feng Xiaochen, but it seems that he can't blame Feng Xiaochen for this matter, obviously Guo Peiyuan jumped into the pit by himself, and Feng Xiaochen didn't do anything at all.
This kind of thing, Zhao Xinwei naturally wouldn't say to Guo Peiyuan, Guo Peiyuan is a loser, and he, Zhao Xinwei, is a success, can he go and talk to Guo Peiyuan to say anything?
This trip to Guo Peiyuan to inquire about the news, Zhao Xinwei's harvest is still not small. He heard news from two sides, one was that Iketani Manufacturing expressed its intention to transfer some of the patents to the equipment company, and the other was that Guo Peiyuan claimed conclusively that this was just the name of Uchida Yu. Zhao Xinwei used his IQ 75 brain to analyze it, and felt that Guo Peiyuan's judgment was correct, Ikegu Production must be going to build a famous hall, as for what this famous hall is, Guo Peiyuan can't think of it, and Zhao Xinwei can't think of it, so he doesn't want to.
"You said that Iketani Manufacturing offered to transfer the technology patent to us?"
Cao Zhiyuan was a little overjoyed when he heard the news that Zhao Xin had not brought back, and at the same time he was a little skeptical.
Of course, Zhao Xinwei would not say Guo Peiyuan's analysis, he just nodded and said: "I asked someone to ask, and Ikegu Manufacturing said that the negotiation of the patent is not impossible, provided that the equipment company must show some sincerity." ”
"What sincerity?"
"One is naturally a return, listening to their meaning, it seems to say that they came to China in the past to seek OEM, and the price offered by the equipment company is too high, and they hope to reduce it. ”
"I've also heard of this, if it's just to reduce some costs, I think Mr. Feng is acceptable. ”
"There is another one, that is, they hope that the equipment company will send someone with some weight to negotiate with them, which is also a sign of sincerity. ”
"A bit of weight?" Cao Zhiyuan said in surprise, "Minister Wang is an old man of the equipment company, and he will be promoted to the deputy general manager of the company in a short time, isn't his weight enough? ”
Zhao Xinwei said: "How can this be regarded as reciprocity? Japanese companies are foreign businessmen, and besides, we still have to ask for others." People sent a sales director, and we also sent a department manager here, which seems a little sluggish. ”
"Are you saying that the equipment company should send a company leader? This is a bit difficult, I heard that several vice presidents of the equipment company are not engaged in technology, and the only one who understands technology is Mr. Feng. You can't let Mr. Feng personally negotiate with the other party, right?"
"What's wrong with that? This can show the sincerity of the equipment company. ”
"Okay, I'll contact Mr. Feng to see. Cao Zhiyuan was somewhat persuaded by Zhao Xinwei. When domestic institutions deal with foreign businessmen, they will indeed lower themselves by a level, and it seems that it is not inconsistent for people to have a sales director and a general manager on our side. Cao Zhiyuan never understood why Feng Xiaochen didn't personally participate in the negotiations with Chi Gu, and found a Wang Genlai, who neither understood technology nor had a violent temper, and repeatedly broke up with the two sides. Cao Zhiyuan also thought about asking Feng Xiaochen to come forward in person, but because he was from a foreign unit, his level was not as high as Feng Xiaochen, so it was inconvenient to say it directly. Now that the foreign businessman has made a request, Cao Zhiyuan can also mention it to Feng Xiaochen.
"That's what Iketani really said?"
Feng Xiaochen was a little surprised when he received a call from Cao Zhiyuan. After thinking about it, I was relieved again. It is very clear that Iketani heard the news of China's contact with Brown, El and other companies, and wanted to stir up the situation, so he released such a rumor. Feng Xiaochen could even think that if his side believed in Iketani Manufacturing and sent someone to negotiate with the other party, the other party would really give up one or two patents to whet his appetite.
As for the transfer of all patents, especially the patents for the basic process of synthetic ammonia, Feng Xiaochen will not believe it at all. If the four sets of fertilizers in Argentina are handed over to the Japanese, they will be at least four or five billion dollars in profits, and how much can the Chinese side afford to make the Japanese give up this part of the profits?
The purpose of Iketani's announcement is to give the Chinese side some hope and maintain contact with the Argentine side, which will also delay the bidding for the fertilizer project. When the Chinese side finally finds out that Iketani will not transfer these technologies at all, it will not be able to explain to the Argentine side. At that time, Iketani can also gossip on the Argentine side, saying that the Chinese side has actually known about the patent issue for a long time and deliberately concealed it from the Argentine side. As a result, the credit of China's equipment enterprises will be completely lost, and if they want to compete with the Japanese in the international market in the future, they will have to make great efforts to rebuild their credit.
So, could Zhao Xinwei fail to see this? Is it because of ignorance or because he is holding back the bad in his heart when he sends this message to the equipment company? Maybe it's both.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaochen smiled on the phone and said, "Lao Cao, your news is very timely." Listening to Iketani Manufacturing, it is still possible for us to get a license. By the way, Lao Cao, this Xiao Zhao under you is very capable, how about it, lend it to me for a while. When the Argentine project is won, I will definitely return to Zhao. ”
