Hearing Wang Genji's words, Wu Shican shook his head slightly and said, "Xiao Wang, you are just acting rashly. Of course, we were able to develop our own technology, and when the United States and the Soviet Union blocked technology from us, we relied on self-reliance to create a lot of things. However, it is always much better to be able to stand on the shoulders of others than to grope for yourself. This time, Xiao Feng advocated the acquisition of these Japanese companies, but also to obtain their mature technology and shorten the time for us to catch up with the advanced level. Therefore, whenever there is a little possibility, we still have to find a way to solve the dilemma in front of us, and we will lift the table at every turn, which is not the style of our equipment company. ”

Wang Genji has always respected Wu Shican, and when Wu Shican was counted, he quickly touched his head and said with a smile: "Minister Wu, you also know that I am just saying something angry, Xiaochen has spent so much effort to set up the bureau, how can we say that we will not do it." I can't think of a good way......"

"I think, let's listen to Mr. Feng's opinion, we can't think of a good way, Mr. Feng will definitely be able to come up with it. Wu Qinglai, the minister of the Ministry of Policies and Regulations, played a round game, and at the same time slapped Feng Xiaochen fiercely.

Feng Xiaochen was somewhat immune to the compliments of his subordinates, he smiled and said: "I think Lao Wang's proposal is quite correct, the Japanese business and political circles are talking about the blockade of technology against China, so let's do it ourselves." ”

"What do you mean?" asked several people in unison. Wu Shican has just said that being able to get the technology in the hands of these Japanese companies is a better choice for China and can save a lot of time. Everyone thinks that Wu Shican's point of view is right, even Wang Genji himself admits that he is angry, why did Feng Xiaochen stand on Wang Genji's side instead?

Feng Xiaochen looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Let's make preparations with both hands." The completion ceremony of Haidong's large ethylene project will be held in the near future, and the leading comrades of the central government will personally attend the feeding and ignition ceremony. We take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously publicize the concept of independent innovation, call on enterprises and scientific research institutes across the country to get rid of their dependence on foreign technology, develop independent technology, and set off an upsurge of independent innovation in the country. ”

"But...... Oh, I understand!" Wu Shican wanted to say that independent innovation and the introduction of technology are not contradictory, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly understood what Feng Xiaochen meant, and couldn't help laughing. I have to say that after staying with Feng Xiaochen for a long time, even a kind-hearted person like Wu Shican has a few more bends in his mind.

"Hmm, wonderful!" Hao Yawei gently patted the table in front of him and exclaimed.

"Haha, Mr. Feng is really tall!" the others echoed.

Wang Genji was the last to react, he muttered: "Isn't this still what you said about wanting to catch and indulge, I said Xiaochen, you can't have some new tricks, it's this hand over and over again, the little devil has already seen through it, right?"

"As long as the trick works, what's the harm in using it over and over again?" Feng Xiaochen retorted with a smile, "Actually, it's not all a false trick, we really have to launch a new round of technical research." If the Japanese side resolutely does not allow us to acquire those companies, then we can completely abandon the acquisition and develop the corresponding technology ourselves. If they relent, and agree to sell those companies to us, and at the same time transfer the technology that those companies have, then we can build on those technologies for further development. The two things do not conflict with each other, so even if the Japanese see through it, there is no way to crack it. ”

Wu Shican smiled: "Haha, in fact, we have not neglected independent research and development, this time we just publicized the matter and let the Japanese know that we don't care about getting their technology." They have no hope, and they won't hold on anymore. ”

Feng Xiaochen has always attached great importance to the role of the media, and in recent years, the equipment industry company has established good relations with many domestic media. Wang Genji told the staff of the cooperation department to say hello to various media, and within a few days, all kinds of articles promoting independent innovation were published in the media. At the same time, the Economic and Trade Commission, the Science and Technology Commission, the Planning Commission, and the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Electronics, the Ministry of Metallurgy, and other functional ministries and commissions have all issued ambitious technological research and development plans in a high-profile manner, and many of the projects are obviously set up to replace the corresponding Japanese patents.

"President Mine, you're playing too far. ”

Guo Peiyuan complained to Mineilongji on a long-distance phone call: "I can understand that you want to use this method to raise the price a little." But you're saying so absolutely, and now my clients are saying that they don't plan to work with the Japanese side, and they'd rather pay for government-led R&D programs. I tossed hard for several months, and in the end, I estimated that I had no harvest. ”

"Mr. Guo, are you sure that this is not a trick of the Chinese government?" asked Minai Takayoshi on the other end of the phone, "You will independently develop the corresponding technology that can replace the patent held by our Akima Kaisha, and the investment will definitely not be less than 20 billion yen." And if you are willing to buy Akima, you only need to spend 25 billion yen, you can get these patents and no less than 15 billion yen of equipment, which is obviously a more cost-effective deal, how can your officials choose the former way?"

Guo Peiyuan sighed and said, "President Minei, you don't know too much about the Chinese. In Japan, everyone thinks about economic accounts, but in China, everyone has to settle political accounts first. Last time, some of your newspapers talked nonsense, which caused the high-level leaders on our side to lose their temper, saying that they would rather spend three times more money than be blackmailed by the Japanese. No, all ministries and commissions are pooling money to support their own technology development, and those experts in universities and research institutes are cramping when they count the money. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Mineilongi was a little incredulous.

"You can look for the last few issues of the People's Daily, which are full of speeches by leaders, comments from experts, and statements from various ministries and commissions...... Alas, anyway, this matter is yellow, I can be regarded as tossing for so long. Guo Peiyuan said.

"This ...... I need to know a little bit more. Mineilongi said depressedly.

Shinichi Niwano also got the news, and he called Yu Uchida and asked him to come to his office to discuss the matter. Uchida came quickly, but his face was not as high as the last visit, and instead of a tired look.

"Chinese investors have withdrawn, and Mineilongji and they are panicking, and now they are pressuring the cabinet to remove the restriction on the transfer of patented technology to China, do you know this situation?" asked Nobuichi Niabano.

Yu Uchida nodded and said, "I already know." ”

"What do you think? Are the Chinese really planning to develop these technologies, or are they continuing to play tricks?" asked Nitano Shinichi.

Uchida Yu smiled bitterly and said, "There are two cases. After reading the comments in the Chinese state newspapers, I asked my brother Ge Tao and Sakai Qianji to inquire about their domestic connections, and they reported that their colleagues at the petrochemical design institute in the past had indeed received high funding from several departments to break through a series of technologies in the shortest possible time. If these research projects can be completed, the patents owned by a group of Japanese companies, including Akima Kaisha, will be of no value to the Chinese. ”

"In other words, their plan is real?" said Shinichi Nibano.

"If we insist that they are not allowed to acquire the technology of companies such as Akima, then they will abandon the acquisition of the assets of these companies and go all out to develop their own technology, and we will carry the burden of these bankrupt companies," Uchida said. But if we allow them access to these technologies, they will build on those technologies and develop the next generation of technologies. In short, no matter what we do, they have a way to cope. ”

Shinichi Teno was a little stunned: "How can this be? You mean that we can't contain them?"

"In the face of absolute strength, any skill can become childish and ridiculous. "China is no longer the country that needed yen loans 20 years ago to develop its economy, but over the years, they have been accumulating wealth and advancing their technology by leaps and bounds." Today, the technology we provide to them or not to provide them will at best slow them down, and we will have to pay a much heavier price for doing so. ”

"You're saying that Japan can't compete with China anymore?" asked Nitano Shinichi with some displeasure.

"There is no way. Uchida said flatly, "Unless Japanese companies can pick themselves up and invest in technology at any cost, like the Chinese, we will be able to maintain our current competitive advantage." And if we don't have that determination and just hope that our opponent will make mistakes, then we have no chance of winning. ”

Shinichi Niwano shrugged his shoulders, a little disdainful of Uchida's judgment. He brushed aside the topic and asked, "So, Uchida-kun, what advice do you have for the matter at hand?"

"I don't have any suggestions. Uchida said dryly.

"But you are the one who asked the cabinet to issue a ban on technology transfer, do you think it is necessary to maintain this ban?"

"I think it's necessary. Still, I know the cabinet has been shaken. Faced with the challenge of the Chinese, the cabinet chose to passively avoid war, which may be a wise approach. As a businessman, I can only regret this situation. ”

"I see. Tingno nodded. Uchida's meaning is clear, that is, he himself resolutely wants to fight with the Chinese, even if only to delay China's development to a limited extent, as he said. But the Cabinet and entrepreneurs like Mineilongi are unwilling to bear the cost of this, so how can Uchida alone stop everyone's demands?

"The Cabinet has announced the lifting of the ban on technology transfer, and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry will organize a delegation to China to negotiate technical cooperation with Chinese officials. Nobuichi Niwano reported to Yutsu Uchida.
