Chapter 516: See the Temporary Worker Again

"Dear journalists, my name is Yu Uchida, I am the sales director of Iketani Manufacturing in Japan, and I am very honored to be able to hold this press conference with Mr. Feng Xiaochen of the State Equipment Industry Corporation of China to present to you the results of the investigation into the collapse of the fractionation column at the Perot Chemical Plant site......

In the large conference hall of the Haijiao Hotel, reporters from more than a dozen media outlets, as well as some people from industrial circles, were invited to attend the press conference. The collapse of the fractionation tower at the Perot construction site only caused a few minor injuries at the scene, and the economic loss was not particularly large, so it was not very eye-catching news. Feng Xiaochen had the press conference invitations sent to various media outlets in Mexico City, but not many were genuinely interested, and some media simply left a fax number for the conference organizers to send them a press release afterwards, and they considered whether they needed to release it at their discretion.

To the surprise of the reporters, the invitation to the press conference was sent by Chinese, and the first to speak was Yu Uchida of Iketani Manufacturing. What surprised them even more was that the Japanese, who had insinuated 10 days earlier that he had placed all the blame on the Chinese workers, began his speech by exaggerating the skill of the Chinese workers and strongly condemning "the inappropriate accusations made by some irresponsible media against the Chinese workers."

Inappropriate accusations? Isn't this exactly what you Uchida Yu wants us to say? Why is it the other way around now that we are spreading rumors? I have heard that the Japanese have a tradition of eating excrement to cure brain damage, but today I can be regarded as seeing a living sample.

"Iketani has been working with Chinese companies for nearly 10 years, and we have these hard-working Chinese workers at many of our overseas construction sites. We believe that the technical level of Chinese workers is no less than that of the senior workers of any Western industrial power, and their intelligence and hard-working spirit are even more admirable. Uchida said.

"However, Mr. Uchida, it seems that at the last press conference, you specifically emphasized that the Perot site was your first time using Chinese workers, which is completely different from what you said today. A reporter raised his hand and questioned.

"Did I say that?" Uchida showed a surprised expression, he seemed to recall it seriously, and then said: "Mr. reporter, I think maybe my English is not good enough, and there are some flaws in expressing my meaning. What I said at the time was that only one of the Chinese workers we were using on the site had never worked on our Iketani site in the past, and we found that this worker was not involved in the welding of the fractionation column, and his skill level was very credible. ”

"Is that what he said?"

"No, I don't think that's what he said at the time. ”

"Damn the Japanese, the English is really bad!"

"No, Bob, do you really believe his explanation?"

"Could it be ......"

The reporters talked a lot, some doubted their hearing and memory, but more people reacted after a short period of stunned, which is the reason for the low level of English, it is clear that Uchida Yu wanted to pour dirty water on the Chinese, but people came to the door, and he could only swallow his words back. Didn't you notice that today's press conference was convened by the Chinese, and Uchida Yu ran to correct the name of the Chinese workers, obviously being caught by someone and having to come out and slap himself in the face.

Japan is a developed country, China is only a developing country, and it is said that China still has to ask Japan for technology and foreign investment, so Uchida's statement is certainly not under any political pressure, but should be morally short. In other words, the technical level of Chinese workers is completely fine, and even Uchida Yu can't find a reason to splash dirty water. Uchida's deferential performance can illustrate a lot, and this point needs to be pointed out in future reports.

"Mr. Uchida, since you said that there is no problem with the technology of the Chinese workers, what is the cause of this fractionation tower accident?"

After the reporters figured out what had happened, they began to ask follow-up questions.

"We've already figured out why, mainly because of a mistake by a Japanese temporary worker!" Uchida announced solemnly.

"After our careful investigation, it was found that Ms. Matsushita Horiyoko, a temporary worker sent by our company to the Perot site to be in charge of material distribution, was negligent in her work and mistakenly issued No. 25 electrode as No. 74 electrode to the on-site workers when issuing materials, causing the workers to use the wrong electrode in the welding process, thereby reducing the strength of the structure and leading to this serious accident. We have dismissed Ms. Matsushita and will file a lawsuit in Japan for her dereliction of duty. ”

"Click!"

"Click!"

Countless flashes lit up, capturing Yuu Uchida's righteous and awe-inspiring expression. At the scene, except for Feng Xiaochen, Du Xiaodi and Hiraoka Shuo, no one knew that Uchida Yu was dripping blood in his heart at the moment.

In the negotiations the day before, Feng Xiaochen was aggressive, threatening to expose the quality of the steel, and finally made both Hiraoka Shuo and Uchida Yuu accept the alliance under the castle. Uchida had originally intended to compete with Feng Xiaochen, stating that what Iketani had done had nothing to do with the matter, but Feng Xiaochen seized on the fact that Uchida had slandered Chinese workers as a reason, claiming that if Iketani did not express himself, the Chinese side would announce the matter, even if the opportunity to cooperate with Sendo Steel would be lost.

Hiraoka Shuo had no choice but to help Feng Xiaochen put pressure on Uchida Yu, and promised to compensate Iketani Productions handsomely in the future. Uchida exaggerated his losses tenfold, leaving room for compensation from Xiando Steel, and only then did he agree to Feng Xiaochen's conditions, agreeing to transfer the core patent of the third ethylene machine to the Chinese side, and justifying the name of the Chinese workers at a press conference the next day.

Regarding the statement of putting the responsibility on temporary workers, Feng Xiaochen originally came up with it, but before he could speak, Yu Uchida and Shuo Hiraoka had already set this caliber. Only then did Feng Xiaochen realize that when it comes to the ability to shake the pot, the Japanese are far superior to the Chinese, and this method really does not need the Chinese to teach them.

After discussing the handling plan, Feng Xiaochen forced the two of them to write a letter of commitment to clarify the transfer of technology. Feng Xiaochen himself is a technical authority, and he has been busy promoting the localization of ethylene for a period of time, so he knows the requirements of key technologies well. He made a list of key technologies that needed to be transferred by the Japanese side, and asked Shuo Hiraoka and Yu Uchida to sign and pledge them in order to arrange for people to formally negotiate with the two companies in the future.

Feng Xiaochen doesn't have to worry about them not breaking the appointment, after all, the steel quality problem of Xianhu Iron and Steel Institute objectively exists, and they sell tens of millions of tons of steel, as long as any customer realizes that there is a quality problem, they can find it by doing some testing. If Hiraoka Shuo and Uchida Yu dare to fool Feng Xiaochen, Feng Xiaochen will find an occasion to let off steam, and they will be able to set off a wave.

"Mr. Feng, our company will immediately correct the steel data to avoid similar errors. This time, please don't disclose this matter to the outside world, please!" Hiraoka Shuo bowed to Feng Xiaochen for the 100th time.

"Don't worry, Vice President Hiraoka, the Chinese are trustworthy, and what we promised will definitely not be violated." Feng Xiaochen promised.

Hiraoka Shuo expressed his gratitude again, and then left with Yu Uchida. Before leaving, he asked again, "Mr. Feng, is there anything else you need us to serve?"

"Well, it's a small thing. Feng Xiaochen said, as he spoke, he pointed to the pile of propaganda materials piled on the ground, and said: "Since we have reached an understanding, then these materials are no longer needed, please ask Mr. Hiraoka to find someone to transport them away and dispose of them." In addition, the cost of printing these materials, which totaled $175, was paid by me out of my own pocket. Since the materials cannot be distributed, these expenses cannot be reimbursed. As a public official, it is indeed difficult for me to bear these costs personally. ”

"I'm sorry for Mr. Feng!" Hiraoka Shunan resisted the urge to duel with Feng Xiaochen, bowed down and said, "I will ask someone to transport these materials away and destroy them, and I will also have someone send you the cost of Mr. Feng......"

Spending money to print the opponent's black materials to blackmail the opponent, and finally the opponent is responsible for reimbursing these expenses, which is simply bullying people to the home. But Hiraoka Shuo had no choice but to accept this kind of bullying in a reluctant voice, and from the bottom of his heart, he had a desire to surrender to Feng Xiaochen. This is also the national character of Japan, and whoever is the most ruthless to them will be admired the most......

The press conference ended in an eerie atmosphere, and the fractionation tower accident was ultimately proven to be due to the negligence of a Japanese temporary worker, and whether you believe it or not, Uchida Yu and Feng Xiaochen believed it anyway.

Hauge took a nonchalant approach to the outcome, and as long as Iketani could guarantee that similar incidents would not occur at the chemical plant in the future, they would not bother to delve into it. Tian Xiongzhe also designed a new welding process based on the real composition of the steel, and asked the workers to reinforce all the equipment with hidden dangers, and the matter was settled.

Feng Xiaochen and Du Xiaodi completed their respective tasks and flew out of Mexico together to return to China. It was not until this time that Bi Jianxin, Liang Chen and others knew that the person Du Xiaodi married was actually Feng Xiaochen, and they all sighed that the two of them were a good match, talented and beautiful, and these tidbits did not need to be detailed. However, Wang Ruidong saw the skills of the Feng family and his wife, and realized that although he had a little wealth next to his brother-in-law, he was just a country turtle in front of others, and his worship for Feng Xiaochen was a little more.
