Chapter 476: The act of going through the back door
Guo Peiyuan's disappearance turned out not to be a paranormal event. Guo Peiyuan was sentenced to 15 days in detention and fined several times for disseminating illegal publications. After his detention ended, he returned to the capital in disgrace. For Wang Ruidong, who had yin himself, Guo Peiyuan could only squat in the corner of the wall and draw a few small circles to curse him, and never thought about how to retaliate. After all, when it comes to the ability to play tricks, a broker cannot be compared with a township entrepreneur.
The Quanfu Company's case finally made it to the newspaper, and the reporter invited by Feng Xiaochen waved his brilliant pen to introduce the reader to the image of an excellent township enterprise that resolutely implements the will of the state and has the courage to refuse the temptation of foreign businessmen. Wang Ruidong also played the role of an aspiring young man who was resourceful and led the snake out of the hole. In order to avoid irritating foreign investors, the name of Quanfu Company was withheld, and it was only said that it was an enterprise in Haidong Province. Nguyen Phuc Gen didn't mind this, and was even grateful. Because this kind of praise is not entirely good for Quanfu, his potential customers will read some other flavor from it and will not dare to work with him.
Ma Weixiang, Deng Zongbai and others also saw this report, and as insiders, they understood that the reason why Quanfu Company "refused to be tempted" was just because of the obscenity of the heavy equipment. But knowing this is enough, a boiled duck can be rescued by the reloading office and let it return to nature, do they dare to play any famous games casually?
Uchida Yu also learned the truth about Guo Peiyuan's disappearance from these reports, and he did not wait for Guo Peiyuan to be released, so he chose to compromise with the Heavy Equipment Office and agreed to accept the price standard of the Heavy Equipment Office. In fact, this standard is also what they can afford, the Chinese have made up their minds, it is not easy for them to find flaws in it, and it is necessary to waste time instead of this?
The most important thing is that the Heavy Equipment Office also informed the Japanese businessmen that a Chinese company has accepted an outsourcing order from a Dutch fertilizer equipment company. Europeans are not as sensitive to prices as the Japanese, and in their opinion, the price quoted by the Chinese is already a conscientious price, more than 70% lower than Europe's own price.
Uchida Yu knows that processing orders from Europe alone are not enough to absorb all of China's excess manufacturing capacity, and there will still be some companies in a state of underutilization, and the Japanese side still has opportunities. But with the example of Europe, China's determination will only become greater, and Japanese companies really can't afford to delay.
A group of Japanese companies, including Iketani Manufacturing, Akima Kaisha, and Morishao Iron Works, signed equipment subcontracting agreements with the Heavy Equipment Office, and entrusted the Heavy Equipment Office to organize Chinese enterprises to provide services to the Japanese side. In addition to equipment manufacturing, the Japanese side also proposed that China would send some experienced engineers to participate in the on-site installation and construction of Japan's overseas projects, and the Heavy Equipment Office readily agreed. The wages of Chinese workers are only 1/3 of those of Japanese workers, which can greatly reduce the cost of equipment construction on the Japanese side. For the Chinese side, this is simply a gold ingot, because even if it is only equivalent to 1/3 of the wage level of Japanese workers, it is several times the current wage level in China.
This is called a win-win situation, which is the evaluation made by Luo Xiangfei when Qiangui Takeshi signed a cooperation agreement with Luo Xiangfei on behalf of the Japan Chemical Equipment Association. In this regard, Qiangui Wuzhi expressed a high degree of approval.
However, among the crowd watching the signing ceremony, at least two people did not think so, one was Feng Xiaochen, and the other was Yu Uchida. Although they are in different positions, they have similar views on the matter.
The so-called win-win situation is only for the time being. In the process, Chinese companies get not only commissions for subcontracting business, but also experience in manufacturing and installing large packages. Overseas customers of Japanese companies will also see the working ability and work style of Chinese, which is equivalent to Chinese advertising for themselves through the platform of Japanese companies. When China's own technology matures, Chinese companies will be able to get rid of Japanese companies and contract business independently. It can be said that Japanese companies have taught China to become their competitors.
"Sooner or later, they're going to lose. Feng Xiaochen said coldly in his heart.
"We're going to lose sooner or later. Uchida sighed helplessly.
Yes, but if there is a little other way, Uchida does not want to cultivate his competitors in this way. At the same time as overseas competitiveness is declining, Japan's real estate and stock markets are soaring due to the influx of foreign capital, and many bigwigs in the business industry, including Uchida's own boss, have turned their energies to the virtual economy and have no intention of paying attention to the rise and fall of the real economy. Asking Chinese companies to do OEM is a step for them to abandon the real economy. Japan's decline in the real economy is already irreversible.
The outsourcing business has been on the right track, and Feng Xiaochen doesn't need to worry about it anymore. In fact, he'll have to take some time to worry about his own business. After class that day, Yu Rui pulled him aside and revealed a piece of news to him, which immediately stunned him.
"Boss, let me ask you something. Yu Rui said with a serious expression.
Yu Rui is the second child in the 84-level graduate class of the Institute of Strategic Studies, and she was originally a director of the System Reform Commission, and she was a graduate student. On weekdays, Yu Rui has a good relationship with everyone, and often brings some delicious things from her own home to improve the food for Xie Keli, Qi Ruicang and other students who are out of production, and she looks like a big sister. The relationship between Feng Xiaochen and Yu Rui is even closer, and they usually speak quite casually.
"Sister Yu, what's the matter, why are you so serious?" Feng Xiaochen asked with a grin.
Yu Rui didn't smile, she asked, "Are you a graduate student at the University of Technology?"
"yes. Feng Xiaochen replied.
"Was she a welder with only a junior high school education?"
"Well, everybody knows about it. ”
"Then let me ask you, did you help her with her graduate school?"
"Sister Yu, what do you mean by this?" Feng Xiaochen finally felt that something was wrong, and it was obviously not a good thing for Yu Rui to ask so carefully.
Yu Rui didn't plan to sell Guanzi, she said: "Let me tell you one thing, two days ago, a professor of our Academy of Social Sciences attended a meeting attended by many leading comrades. He said that a young deputy director of a certain department, who traded state research funds, asked a professor at the University of Technology to recruit his girlfriend, who only had a junior high school education and was a welder in a factory, to study for graduate school......
"Damn, isn't that what I mean?" Feng Xiaochen jumped up, "Who is this, and how much enmity does it have with me?"
"You can imagine it. Yu Rui said, without waiting for Feng Xiaochen to guess, she revealed the mystery: "This professor is Gao Lei." ”
"Gao Lei?" Feng Xiaochen gasped, "No, is he so despicable?"
As early as when he organized the blues academic salon, Feng Xiaochen knew that he would offend Gao Lei, a current figure. Later, at the introduction technology exchange meeting organized by the Heavy Equipment Office, Gao Lei made a lot of nonsense, and Feng Xiaochen directly had a verbal conflict with Gao Lei in order to correct the name of the Heavy Equipment Office. He thought that Gao Lei would definitely hold a grudge against him, and it was possible that he would attack him on some academic issues. But he never thought that Gao Lei would do this and use Du Xiaodi's matter as a means to attack Feng Xiaochen, which is like a teacher's doing.
Regarding Du Xiaodi's graduate school, many of Feng Xiaochen's classmates know about it. People like Qi Ruicang and Xie Keli have all been to Feng Xiaochen's house as guests, and they have also met Du Xiaodi, and they have learned that Du Xiaodi was admitted to Cai Xingquan's research only by virtue of his junior high school graduation level. Regarding this matter, Feng Xiaochen's classmates all had an appreciative mentality, and felt that Du Xiaodi was not simple.
Gao Lei also took graduate students at the Academy of Social Sciences, and it is estimated that he heard about it from his own students. Combined with Cai Xingquan's undertaking of the scientific research project commissioned by the Heavy Equipment Office, Gao Lei naturally made up a scene of interest trading. He firmly believes that it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary worker like Du Xiaodi to be able to be admitted to the graduate school of technology. The only reason is that Feng Xiaochen took the subject as a condition in exchange for Cai Xingquan's promise to accept Du Xiaodi for graduate school.
Similar things are not uncommon nowadays, Gao Lei himself has done this kind of thing, and has received students introduced by related households. However, Gao Lei thought that he had no problem, because the children of these related households he recruited also had a bachelor's degree, and he only helped a little when he was admitted to graduate school. How can Feng Xiaochen be as ugly as Feng Xiaochen, who can stuff a junior high school student into the team of graduate students.
Speaking of which, in fact, Gao Lei's guess is not completely outrageous. Du Xiaodi was indeed introduced to Cai Xingquan by Feng Xiaochen, and a small part of it was because Cai Xingquan undertook the research project of the Heavy Equipment Office, and Du Xiaodi entered the University of Technology as an experimenter in the research group. What Gao Lei didn't guess correctly was that there was no fraud in Du Xiaodi's postgraduate examination, and she already had the ability to be admitted to graduate school through the homework she made up during the research group.
Going to graduate school through the back door is an act of not holding officials accountable. Everyone knows that this kind of behavior is unreasonable, but few people will report or question it, and at best they just complain that they have no relationship and cannot get this kind of opportunity. Gao Lei pointed out this incident at a meeting attended by senior leaders, and the nature is completely different.
The leader immediately expressed his opinion and asked the relevant departments to conduct a strict investigation of the matter and form materials for reporting. If it is found that there is indeed an abuse of power for personal gain, the person concerned should be severely punished, and the student involved should be expelled. Yu Rui recounted to Feng Xiaochen.
