It's waiting for me here!

Hiraoka Shuo suddenly realized.

As early as two years ago, China's Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant was looking to partner with Xianhu Steel to develop certain specialty steels. When we say cooperation, we are actually importing relevant technologies from Japan, because the gap between China's steelmaking technology and Japan is too big, and it is difficult for China to make any contribution to this so-called cooperation.

Among the technologies that the Chinese side wants to introduce is the ultra-low temperature steel that Feng Xiaochen just mentioned, which is an important raw material for making cryogenic equipment, and so far, China has not been able to produce these materials on its own and needs to rely on imports all of them.

Three years ago, China Equipment Industry Corporation (CSAR) set a target of designing and building its own 600,000-ton ethylene plant, and broke down the relevant tasks and contracted them to hundreds of domestic enterprises. The most difficult aspects of the development of the ethylene plant are the ethylene compressors, propylene compressors and pyrolysis gas compressors, which are known as ethylene three machines, in addition to large ethylene spherical tanks. The difficulty of manufacturing these devices lies in the fact that they all work in environments between minus 40 and minus 100 degrees, and ordinary steel becomes very fragile and unusable at such low temperatures. In order to manufacture these devices, special steels that are resistant to low temperatures are required. In order to independently master the manufacturing technology of large-scale ethylene plants, the localization of low-temperature resistant steel is an important prerequisite.

Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant made a request to Xiando Steel Plant to introduce low-temperature steel smelting technology, and promised to pay a high cost for the introduction of technology. But Xiando Steel ignored this request, and the reason is clear: they want to hold the lifeblood of the Chinese in order to grab a steady stream of profits.

The development requirements of low-temperature steel were put forward by the equipment industry company, and Feng Xiaochen has been paying attention to this matter and has thought of a lot of ways, hoping to persuade the Japanese side to surrender this technology. This time, Du Xiaodi found that Xianhu steel data was fraudulent, and Feng Xiaochen sensitively realized that his opportunity had come. With such a handle in your hand, are you still worried that Xianhu Steel will not comply?

"Low-temperature steel...... "Mr. Feng, this is the core technology of Xiando Steel, and we cannot provide it to you." However, we can sign a long-term supply contract with you for the next 10 years...... No, for the next 30 years, it will not affect your use of the steel you need at the average market price. ”

This condition can be regarded as sincere, but Feng Xiaochen is not satisfied. This may be an obsession of the Chinese, no matter how well you say, I must hold something in my hand to be sure. For no other reason, in the past 100 years, China has been subjected to too many sanctions, and the world's powerful countries, one counts as one, and they have all bullied China, and China has long been full of vigilance against the world. Hiraoka Shuo said nicely that they could sign a long-term supply agreement with China, and Feng Xiaochen had enough reason to believe that if there was a bit of turmoil in international politics, Sendo Steel would definitely throw this agreement down the toilet and flush it to prove his innocence.

No one's sincerity is as good as the guarantee in one's own hands, and this is the experience that the Chinese have gained from their bitter experience. The last country that mistakenly thought it could rely on other people's help, called Russia, has now hit the streets, and there is no hope of getting up in ten or eight years. Chinese are not so stupid and will not make the same mistakes.

"Mr. Hiraoka, as a sincere partner of each other, we would like you to help us master the smelting method of low-temperature steel, after all, it is not polite to trouble friends in everything. Feng Xiaochen said leisurely.

"Actually, this can't be considered a trouble...... "Hiraoka Tree Man's face is gloomy, and he has shortcomings in the hands of others, which is really an aggrieved thing, knowing that others are going to blackmail him, and he has to accompany the smiling face, and he doesn't dare to directly refute the other party's fallacy, this taste is too uncomfortable.

But what can be done, the data falsification is tacitly approved by the senior management of Xianhu Steel, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was instructed by them. It would have taken decades for Sendo Steel to develop a good brand image, and it would be a shame not to be able to trade that image for some excess profits. Anyway, everyone trusts Xianhu, and they make a little fake appropriately, so that others will not notice. When you can make money with your appearance, why do you need to put in the effort?

Now, the fraud has been exposed, and people have offered sky-high hush money, and they can only pinch their noses and admit it, at best, they are complaining to see if they can reduce it a little.

Feng Xiaochen looked at Hiraoka Shuo, smiled, did not speak, but turned his head to Uchida Yu, and said: "Mr. Uchida, in order to show the friendship between your two countries, we hope to cooperate with your company in the design of ethylene three machines, and I hope that your company can allow us to use some of your patents, I don't think you will refuse, right?"

"Mr. Feng, I'm just an intermediary, and the protagonist of today's meeting is you and Pingoka-kun. Uchida's face darkened, ignoring Feng Xiaochen's request. Just kidding, there is a problem with the steel, the responsibility lies with the Sendo Steel Works, you blackmailed Hiraoka Shuo, why did it hit me again?

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "Yes, I have always felt that Iketani Manufacturing and Xianhu Steel are close cooperation, although this incident happened on the Perot construction site, but other projects of Iketani Manufacturing may also have the same hidden dangers, don't you want to nip these hidden dangers in the bud with us?"

“……”

Uchida was dumbfounded, he only felt as disgusting as if he had been poured a mouthful of excrement, Feng Xiaochen's words were the threat of Hongguoguo, obviously, Feng Xiaochen also knew that this threat was effective, because he didn't want the steel incident to ferment, in addition to Xiando Steelworks, there were other companies that cooperated with Xianhu, including Iketani Works.

There is a problem with the steel in Xiando, and the responsibility is, of course, with Xiando. If the company can't afford all the compensation claims and can file for bankruptcy, what about the Iketani Works, which uses Sendo steel?

Each enterprise is actually a grasshopper tied to a rope, and no one can be left alone. In fact, the long-term fraud scandal of some Japanese companies in later generations is not that downstream companies have been slow to find out, but that these companies that have found problems do not dare to expose them casually, because once exposed, the upstream manufacturers will be finished, and the downstream manufacturers will also be affected.

Feng Xiaochen has no such concerns, China is still a net importer of equipment, and there is no need to consider the issue of being responsible for the international market. As for the country, the affairs of their own family are very easy to speak, even if the use of Xianhu steel, there are some quality hazards, the user side will not be unrelenting, and it can be properly dealt with under the coordination of the state.

Feng Xiaochen came over this time, and he didn't plan to extort only the Xiando Steel Works, and the Iketani Works was also one of his targets. If China wants to engage in large-scale ethylene, there are many patented technologies that foreign countries cannot bypass, either to buy them, or to pay patent royalties for each set of equipment. The idea of the equipment industry company, of course, is to buy these patents directly and make themselves own all the intellectual property rights of these patents, which will not only make it convenient and cheap to use in the future, but also leave room for the development of new technologies on the basis of these patents.

The equipment industry company has also discussed with several Japanese chemical equipment manufacturers, including Iketani Manufacturing, the issue of purchasing the patent for the ethylene third machine, but the other party either ignored it or offered a sky-high price, which is prohibitive. Now that the opportunity has come, Feng Xiaochen is not welcome.

"Mr. Uchida, because of the irresponsible remarks of some high-level personnel of your company, the workers we sent have suffered unjustly and the image of our country has been greatly damaged, shouldn't your company make some necessary compensation for this? In fact, we just hope to be able to carry out more in-depth cooperation with your company, regarding the patent of ethylene three machine, we will pay the necessary patent fees in accordance with market rules, and your company has not borne economic losses. Feng Xiaochen said.

"I need to report this to the company. Uchida Yu didn't dare to be too tough, so he made a procrastination.

Feng Xiaochen nodded and said, "I understand, of course, such a thing is not something that Mr. Uchida can decide alone. However, if Mr. Uchida wants to ask for instructions, I am afraid that he needs to hurry up, because we will have a press conference tomorrow. ”

"What, you still have to hold a press conference?" Hiraoka Shuo was anxious, he had made such a big concession, why did the other party still hold a press conference?

"We didn't know in advance that our company would be willing to work with us, so we notified all the media throughout Mexico City to come to the press conference," Feng said. Although your company has reached a cooperation agreement with us, the press conference will definitely be held, and we cannot miss the appointment. As for what was released at the conference, we would of course make some adjustments. In consideration of our partnership, we will not disclose any minor defects in the steel produced by Sendo Steel. ”

"Thank you very much. Hiraoka said and prepared to get up and bow again.

"However, since Mr. Uchida is unwilling to cooperate with us, and some of Mr. Uchida's previous statements have caused some trouble to us. Therefore, we intend to make some necessary clarifications to the public, pointing out that the cause of this accident has nothing to do with our workers, but because of a defect in the steel used in the production of Iketani. ”

"This ...... Isn't that the same?" Hiraoka was dumbfounded.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Of course it's different. We do not disclose the origin of these steels, so it will not affect the brand reputation of Sendo Steel. As for whether Iketani Manufacturing will point this out, it's not up to us to influence. ”
