"The only difference between this project and our previous projects is that we tried to use some skilled workers from other countries. In this way, we wanted to reduce some of the construction costs for our customers. However, after this accident, we will reassess the feasibility of such an attempt. ”

Yu Uchida said in a tone of remorse.

The only difference.

Workers from other countries were used.

Re-evaluate feasibility......

These words are strung together, and even the stupidest person can hear what Uchida wants to say. A reporter asked, "Mr. Uchida, do you mean that this accident happened because of the mistakes made by the workers in these other countries?"

"Did I say that?" asked Uchida, spreading his hands and looking innocent.

"But that's exactly what you meant. The reporter responded.

Uchida Yu shook his head and said, "Mr. Reporter, I didn't mean that, I was just stating a fact. ”

"I see......"

Everyone muttered in their hearts, and it was obvious that Uchida Yu had already told everyone the answer, but he refused to admit that he had said such a thing. What does this mean? Naturally, Uchida Yu still has some unspeakable hardships.

"So, Mr. Uchida, if the final investigation proves that the cause of the accident is indeed the cause of the accident, how will your company deal with this matter, and will they be able to pay compensation?" the reporters began to ask.

"No, we are not going to ask these workers for compensation. Uchida replied.

"Why?"

"Because...... Let's consider the friendship between Japan and the other country. ”

"Friendship?" the reporters chilled. What is this hindering friendship? I have never heard that it is possible to avoid accountability for the sake of friendship between countries, is Iketani Manufacturing the legendary White Lotus?

"Mr. Uchida, can you tell me which country these workers are from?" a reporter asked sensitively.

Uchida had been waiting for someone to ask this question for a long time, and he replied very clearly:

"They're from China. ”

The audience was silent, and all the reporters swiped their scripts in their notebooks......

"Perot's Factory Accident Originated from Chinese Workers"

"Iketani Productions Claims Using Chinese Workers Was a Mistake"

China: A Backward Country......

News reports were published in the media, as Uchida had hoped, and quickly dispelled public suspicion of Iketani and Japanese technology. China was to blame for the accident at the Perot factory, and the mistake of the Japanese was simply to believe in the quality of the Chinese workers, which led to the accident. There is no doubt that in the minds of the Mexican people, China is a much more backward country than Japan, and it is not surprising that Chinese workers are asked to build chemical plants.

"Uchida-kun, it's not appropriate for you to say that, right?"

In the office of the project management department, Naohiro Iwasaki looked through the newspapers he bought on the street and said to Yu Uchida with a frown.

Uchida shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "That's not what I said, I never said that it was these Chinese workers who caused the collapse of the equipment." ”

However, this is exactly what you said at the press conference. Indeed, in all the newspapers, Uchida did not say that he had expressed the intention of criticizing the Chinese workers, but they simply retold Uchida's words truthfully and then added some questioning sentences, such as "Is this explainable?" or "This is really intriguing". The rest of the content is left to the readers' brains.

However, who can hide this kind of trick? Uchida Yu did splash dirty water on the heads of the Chinese workers, and Naohiro Iwasaki knew very well. As an on-site dispatcher, he had a very good impression of these Chinese workers, even more satisfying than the Japanese workers. Uchida Yu accused them for no reason, and Naohiro Iwasaki felt that something was wrong.

Uchida Yu smiled faintly and said, "This is just a reporter's speculation, and the Chinese cannot rely on these reports to hold me legally responsible." ”

"What I want to say is that it's unfair for you to put the blame on these Chinese workers, in fact, their skills are no worse than those of Japanese workers, and they are more able to endure hardships than Japanese workers, and we should not treat them like this. Naohiro Iwasaki said.

Yu Uchida sneered, "If you don't put the blame on them, do you want to push it to our Iketani Works?"

"Isn't there no conclusion yet?"

"Whether there is a conclusion or not, we cannot take this responsibility. We can compensate Hauge, but externally we have to claim that the root cause of the accident is the Chinese workers, and our problems at Iketani Manufacturing are just unnoticed. ”

"So, should we terminate the labor dispatch contract with China and dismiss these Chinese workers?" Iwasaki asked with a bit of frustration.

Uchida Yu shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. In fact, the quality of the work of the Chinese workers can be trusted, and we have participated in several previous projects, all of which have been involved in Chinese workers, and I have complete trust in their technology. ”

"Uh......" Naohiro Iwasaki was dumbfounded. He remembered that Uchida had said at a press conference that this was the first time that Iketani had used Chinese workers, and he had planned to remind Uchida that the company had been employing Chinese workers for several years. Now he understands that Uchida Yu also knows about this situation, and what he said at the press conference is just his words. As for why Uchida Yu lied, isn't the reason obvious?

"Well, you're the sales director, and it's up to you to decide the PR campaign. Naohiro Iwasaki gave in, he was an employee of Iketani Manufacturing after all, and his ass should be sitting on the Japanese side. He sighed, changed the subject, and asked, "However, now we have only diverted the attention of the Mexicans, and we have not found the real cause of the collapse of the fractionation tower." If we can't eliminate these hidden dangers, the same accidents may occur again in the future, and we can't repeatedly shift the blame on the Chinese, right? In any case, the Chinese are hired by us, and when the Hauge company wants to pursue responsibility, it will only look for us, but it is impossible to find the Chinese. ”

What he said at the press conference was out of friendship was actually just a pretext, and the real reason was that Iketani Manufacturing could not shift the responsibility to the Chinese. Even if it turns out that the accident was indeed caused by a misoperation by Chinese workers, Hauge will only trouble Iketani Manufacturing, not the Chinese. As for the liability of the Chinese workers, it was only after Iketani Manufacturing had compensated Hauge that it had been considered.

"I'm urging Tian Yujun to speed up the investigation, but so far, he hasn't come to a valuable conclusion, I really don't know what he's been busy with these days, is he looking for a Mexican girl?" Uchida complained indignantly.

Uchida Yu really wronged Tian Xiongzhe, in the past few days, Tian Xiongzhe has also taken a group of technicians to work without sleep and food, but there is no progress at all.

After receiving the report of the collapse of the fractionation tower, the first thought of the technical staff of Iketani Manufacturing was that the problem should be the quality of construction, because there has been some discussion within the factory about the use of Chinese workers, and that the level of Chinese workers is not as good as that of Japanese workers, and now that there is a quality accident on the construction site, they will of course think of this aspect first.

However, when they arrived at the Perot site and checked all the construction documents, the idea was shattered. They also went to check the other equipment on the site and confirmed that the Chinese workers were indeed carrying out the welding work in strict accordance with the process requirements, and there was no problem of cutting corners.

Since there are no errors in operation, the problem can only be in the design. But what went wrong with the design?

"Do it again, be sure to check it number by number!"

Tian Xiongzhe didn't know how many times he had given such an order to his subordinates. They dug out the design drawings, repeatedly calculated various force relationships, and added parameters about soil quality, air temperature, wind direction, etc., hoping to figure out what caused the collapse of the fractionation column. However, every calculation came to the same result, that is, there was no problem with the force design of the fractionation column, let alone the wind force that night, even if it was a stronger wind, it was impossible to blow the fractionation column down.

"Is it hell?" Tian Xiongzhe also began to doubt his own worldview.

However, without finding out the problem, this project can no longer be carried out, which Tian Xiongzhe is also very aware of, and Haoge Company is also very clear.

"Recount ......"

Tian Yuzhe also stared at the blood-red eyes, struggled and shouted, and at the same time prayed to all the gods in his heart: I hope that this time I can find something......

Just when Tian Xiongzhe and his entourage were gambling with the computer, a few people came up outside the construction site of the Perot Chemical Plant. The leader was a twenty-seven-eight-year-old female worker, who was wearing a seventy-eighty-eighty percent new workpiece gown, and the Chinese characters on her chest read "Haidong Quanfu Machinery Company". She carried a canvas bag on her shoulder and a suitcase in one hand, with an airline tag on it that had not had time to be removed, indicating that she and her companions had just arrived.

"Hello, we are workers of Quanfu Machinery Company in Haidong Province, China, and the company sent us to replace the previous batch of workers. My name is Du Xiaodi, and this is our identification. ”

The female worker walked up to the doorman, handed over a certificate in Chinese, Japanese and English, and introduced herself with a smile. She spoke Japanese, which sounded a little jerky, but was unmistakable.
