Trap, this must be a trap!

Hearing Zhao Xinwei's words, Uchida Yu suddenly woke up. The quality cultivated by years of sales allowed him to keep calm, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Xinwei, and he realized that the obscene Chinese official in front of him was definitely not what Guo Peiyuan said, what kind of spiritual Japanese he was, he was a scheming anti-black, and he was sent by Feng Xiaochen to test his hole cards.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for reminding us, in fact, we didn't think that Chinese companies could become competitors to Japanese companies from the beginning, otherwise we would not have been able to transfer technology to China 10 years ago. We are not on the same level of competition as Chinese companies, and Iketani Manufacturing has just received an order from a large Italian petrochemical company, and the profit of this order is more than the profit of four orders in the Argentine project, do you think we will be interested in a small project like Argentina?"

"However, I think that Chinese companies have a very strong learning ability, and once they enter the international market, it will have an impact on Japanese companies. ”

"No, no, no, we don't worry about it in the slightest......"

"I think it's okay to worry about ......"

"I really don't have to worry about this......"

"This one is really worth worrying about......

Juro Kikuchi, who was sitting next to him, was dumbfounded, did these two people get the wrong script? Uchida Yu desperately said that he didn't care about Chinese companies competing with him, but Zhao Xinwei constantly warned him to be careful about this situation, who is Japanese and who is Chinese in the two of you?

For Uchida Yu, the more Zhao Xinwei spoke like this, the more he believed that Zhao Xinwei was here to trick him. Obviously, Feng Xiaochen was now extremely suspicious of the fact that Iketani Manufacturing would transfer the technology, so he sent Zhao Xin to test it in the future. If he reveals that he does not want to issue a permit, Feng Xiaochen may stop abandoning the project and no longer try to negotiate with him.

In this way, his wishful thinking of using the Argentine project to corrupt the credibility of the Chinese side will go bankrupt, luring Feng Xiaochen to negotiate in person, and the dream of giving Feng Xiaochen a slap in the face in public will also be shattered.

"Mr. Zhao, you don't have to doubt our sincerity. Uchida Yu rudely interrupted Zhao Xinwei's persuasion, and he said with a straight face: "The Ikegu ammonia synthesis process that the Chinese side currently has is only our first-generation process, and it is not of great value to us. If the Chinese side is willing to pay a certain price, we are more than willing to transfer it to the Chinese side, and we can issue an unlimited license to the Chinese side in lieu of the previous license granted separately for each project.

Tell your boss about this and tell them that if they ignore such kindness, we will not force it. The only opportunity we can give you is this one, and although we are not interested in the Argentine project, we are more than capable of completing it. ”

Seeing that Uchida Yudu was anxious by himself, Zhao Xinwei was helpless. He thought of his identity, and it seemed that it was not suitable for him to pour cold water on Uchida Yu's kindness all the time. In case what he said today reached Feng Xiaochen's ears, this matter would be in trouble, and even his old leader would no longer be able to cover him.

Zhao Xin didn't go back to pass the word, of course he wouldn't say that these words were told to him directly by Uchida Yu, but would say that they learned from his "relationship". Uchida Yu, on the other hand, firmly believes that he has guessed Feng Xiaochen's true thoughts, that is, he wants to get a patent license, but he is also worried that this is a trap set by Iketani Productions, so he will resort to this trick of wanting to catch and indulge.

In the months that followed, the whole situation became extremely strange. Negotiations between China and Japan are still ongoing, but both sides will find excuses from time to time to delay for a few days. In Yu Uchida's opinion. The Chinese side deliberately delayed because it did not want to appear too eager so as not to fall into the trap of the Japanese side, and he himself also delayed it to convince the other side that this was indeed not a trap.

It was always Zhao Xinwei who was in charge of the Chinese negotiations. The equipment company sent a few people to participate in the negotiation with him, but these people were obviously incompetent, and they would only take the written materials and read them out of the book when they encountered problems, and sometimes they would even take the wrong materials, so that they would say some things that were not relevant. It wasn't until many years later that Zhao Xinwei learned by chance that the assistants sent to him by the equipment company were actually just handymen in the company. Of course, the handymen of the equipment industry company are also educated, that's right, it is the group of corridor cleaners who knew what dumping was that Zhou Mengshi told Zhao Xinwei.

Uchida Yu has always hoped that Feng Xiaochen can appear at the negotiation table, and he has asked Zhao Xinwei privately several times because of this. Zhao Xinwei didn't say that Mr. Feng was inspecting in other places, that is, Mr. Feng originally said that he would participate, but he was called away by the leaders of the Economic and Trade Commission early in the morning. Uchida Yu has also thought in his heart more than once whether he should wait any longer and simply have a showdown with the Chinese side to end this farce. But every time he would say to himself, since he had been in the game for so long, wouldn't it be a pity to give up without seeing the results?

On the Argentine side, Cao Zhiyuan personally went out and took the engineers and sales personnel sent by the equipment company and several other equipment companies to conduct marathon negotiations with the officials of the Argentine Ministry of Agriculture. The Chinese side deliberately created various changes, forcing the Argentine negotiators to frequently say that they would ask their superiors for instructions, and the back and forth dragged on for months.

Uchida travels back and forth between Japan and China, but he is also unaware of what is happening in Argentina. He explained that his subordinates on the Argentine side did not need to urge the Argentine government to sign the agreement, but on the contrary, they could also add fuel to the fire and let the negotiations between China and Argentina drag on any longer. In this process, the Japanese sales staff must constantly state a point of view to the Arab side, that is, the Chinese are actually not capable of taking over these four sets of large fertilizer equipment, and the cooperation between the Arab side and the Chinese side will eventually become a bamboo basket for water.

It is necessary to make the Arab side suspicious of the Chinese side, and at the same time to make the Arab side willing to continue negotiations with the Chinese side, which involves very complicated rhetoric. Fortunately, the Japanese are very craftsmen, and it is not difficult to make up a few contradictory statements.

The process experiment of the two in Binhai is in full swing. Feng Xiaochen released a bold statement that he did not hesitate to work hard, and all equipment manufacturing enterprises were driven by economic interests and political interests, and they were also working at full speed to try out various corresponding equipment for the new process day and night. After some equipment was built, it was found that there was a problem with the original design, and the designer was distressed and felt that he had wasted state funds. Feng Xiaochen just smiled indifferently, claiming that failure is the mother of success, and such a price must be paid.

Patent swap negotiations with Brown, Elmer, Kramer and a number of other foreign companies have also yielded gratifying results, and these companies are happy to use their outdated patents to exchange with the Chinese side for patents on ruthenium catalysts with good application prospects. Responsible for negotiating with these foreign companies, is the young generation of the strategic planning department of the equipment company, including Huang Ming, Chen Mo, Zhang Hanyun, etc., with solid knowledge and flexible brains.

During this period, Wang Hongtai had already finished his physiotherapy, took time out of his busy schedule to go to Binhai, and was warmly received by Leng Feiyun and others. However, Wang Hongtai did not see the scene where everyone gathered around him to ask questions and bow to him at the same time, what he saw was that his peers were debugging the equipment in an orderly manner, and the topics discussed by everyone were quite profound, and he didn't even have a chance to interject.

Wang Hongtai found his PhD student Xu Zhiyuan and asked him about the progress of the project. Xu Zhiyuan was loyal and reported the situation to his mentor, saying that with the joint efforts of everyone, all the obstacles to the ruthenium catalyst ammonia synthesis process have been broken through, and many theoretical innovations have emerged, which are estimated to produce a number of patents and a number of SCI articles. After hearing this, Wang Hongtai's heart was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and even had a sense of resentment towards Xu Zhiyuan, which is the story of the future.

When Wang Hongtai arrived in Binhai, Feng Xiaochen was not at the scene. In the past few months, Feng Xiaochen has been on the scene most of the time, helping to solve various problems and coordinating the contradictions between various enterprises and scientific research institutes. However, on the day Wang Hongtai set off from Pujiang, Feng Xiaochen received an urgent phone call, and then rushed to Bac Ninh Province.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Feng Xiaochen really didn't deliberately avoid Wang Hongtai, but Lin Bei Heavy Machinery encountered a troublesome matter, so he had to rush over to solve it in person.

"One of our excavators exported to Spain had a broken underframe beam and is now lying on its stomach. We had to urgently transport a set of underframe beams and some other spare parts. But at this juncture, the railway bureau said that it could not arrange the wagons, isn't this an international joke?"

When Feng Xiaochen rushed to Linbei Heavy Machinery, Liu Wang, the executive deputy director of Linbei Heavy Machinery, didn't bother to greet him, and complained directly with grievances.

Feng Xiaochen's face was solemn and asked: "Director Liu, let me first understand, whose responsibility is it for the fracture of the underframe beam?

"Not really. Liu Wang said, "We asked each other on the phone, and the other party said that the failure was completely due to their operational reasons and had nothing to do with us." However, they wanted us to ship the replacement underframe girders and other spare parts as quickly as possible. The construction schedule on their side was very tight, and an excavator lay on its stomach, which had too much impact on them. ”
