Enjoy life in a foreign country......

Sakai Qianji looked at the LV bag on the back of her former girlfriend and the brand-name coat she was wearing, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself. Her family knew about her own family affairs, and she desperately fled from the overseas delegation and stayed in Japan, so that Lai Yongjia, who was the president of the Petrochemical Design Institute at the time, was dismissed from his post because of the rich living conditions in Japan. Because she married a Japanese who was more than ten years older than herself, she suddenly had a refrigerator, air conditioner, a large color TV, a private car, beautiful clothes, and a handbag, which gave her a sense of superiority in front of those girlfriends who were still in China.

But in the past ten years, the Japanese economy has come to a standstill, and the companies where she and her husband Saburo Sakai work have repeatedly cut salaries, and her family's life has been a little stretched. The clothes she is wearing now are still added when she got married, and the fashion of that year looks so rustic today.

On the other hand, Lin Danyan is said to have undergone earth-shaking changes in the treatment of the Petrochemical Design Institute compared with before. Because she is the technical backbone of the hospital, Lin Danyan's monthly salary has reached nearly 10,000 yuan, plus various bonuses, etc., Lin Danyan's family's living standard is much better than that of Japanese middle-class families. Sakai Qianji didn't visit Lin Danyan's house, but she heard from other girlfriends that the Petrochemical Design Institute has built a lot of houses over the years, and the home of an engineer of Lin Danyan's level is at least 160 square meters, not counting the area of the basement and large balcony that is given away. Japan is a country with many people and little land, the apartments in the city are as small as pigeon nests, and the Sakai family's house is more than 80 square meters, which can definitely be called a luxury house according to the standards of China in the 90s of the last century, but in China in 2004, it is not enough.

Sakai Qianji will not say these things in front of her girlfriends, and she still has to maintain her poor self-esteem. In the past few days in Beijing, she often asked herself if she would stay in Japan and not come back if everything could happen again. The young man who had fanatically pursued her when he was in China was said to have become the director of a unit now, and the scenery is infinite......

These are all illusions!

Sakai Qianji said hatefully in her heart. She selectively understands all the positive news she hears from her domestic colleagues and girlfriends as bragging, and treats all the negative news, even if it is just the negative news that these people make up at the request of the war, as a true outpouring of feelings.

With the same sentiment, Ge Tao also carried out, and in this way, after two fugitives with serious creations in their small hearts, they returned to Japan with news that was enough to make Koji Takai and Yu Uchida and others feel very happy. They told Uchida Yu that the things that the Chinese engaged in were all bragging, that is, occasionally produced a little result in the laboratory, and there were still 108,000 miles away from practical application, and the imperial army was still invincible!

Of course, Uchida Yu will not rely entirely on the information provided by the two traitors, and he has made some inquiries from other sources, and the information he has obtained is very confusing, but in general, most of the information tends to think that China is bragging, and only a few sources show that China does have some advanced technology. Among them, a very well-known economist in China said conclusively that he had personally inspected several Chinese equipment manufacturing enterprises, and found that the management level of these enterprises was very low, and some of the processed machine parts were even left outdoors to be exposed to the sun and rain, and they were already covered with rust.

"This can't help but be reminiscent of the performance of the Beiyang Naval Division before the First Sino-Japanese War, with such a level of management, what is it to talk about becoming an industrial power?" the economist, Gao Lei, commented indignantly at an academic conference.

Uchida reported the findings to the board of directors with half-confidence, and the final conclusion was that the Chinese were indeed engaged in the research and development of coal-to-liquids projects, and had made better progress in some respects than Iketani Manufacturing. However, if we take into account the level of manufacturing technology and management in China, Iketani Productions is very sure to complete the research and development of this technology before the Chinese and occupy the market opportunity.

The results of that survey spread in a small circle, and the results drove Iketani's stock up another few percentage points. No one noticed that Uchida Yu took this opportunity to sell seventy percent of the Iketani shares he held......

From then to now, a year has passed, and just when everyone is almost about to completely forget about China's affairs, the news about China's construction of a 4 million ton coal-to-liquid plant in Shanbei Province has stunned everyone at once.

For some reason, the Chinese not only announced the start of construction of this device in a high-profile manner, but also sent invitations to industrial departments around the world, asking them to send people to observe the construction site of the device, and held several technology exhibitions, revealing to the outside world many core technologies that had been kept secret.

Naturally, Iketani Manufacturing also sent a group of experts, including Ta Yutsuya, to understand the situation, and Tian Xiongzhe also saw the exquisite manufacturing technology and modern management process of the Chinese on the spot, and its craftsmanship and management level were no less than that of Iketani Manufacturing. Tian Xiongzhe is also a knowledgeable person, and he can see at a glance that the Chinese are absolutely capable of completing the manufacture and arrangement of this device. Combined with the various core patents obtained by the Chinese, Tian Xiongzhe also knew that Iketani Manufacturing had completely lost in this competition.

"The reason for our failure is that we have invested less than $500 million in research and development on this technology, while the Chinese have invested $3 billion directly in this technology alone, not counting the research projects that can indirectly support this technology." It is true that Iketani Manufacturing has more craftsmanship than the Chinese and can take many detours, but even so, the impact of the 6-fold difference in input is undeniable. We've done our best, but we've still lost, and we've lost because we don't have enough support. ”

Tian Xiongzhe also stated to a room of executives with a sense of indignation, completely lacking the humble and respectful look he used to have.

Bai Tujun opened his mouth and was about to continue to refute, but Koji Takai raised his hand to stop him and asked Uchida, "Uchida-kun, can you also give an explanation to everyone." Previously, your department reported to the board of directors that it was impossible for the Chinese to complete technology research and development before Ikatani, and that there was a huge gap between them and us in terms of process and management. But this time Tian Xiongjun went to China to investigate, and found that the situation is completely contrary to what you reported, the Chinese already have strong technological capabilities, and their management level is also very high. What is your explanation for the wrong information that led to the board's wrong judgment?"

"I'm very sorry about that. Uchida bent his waist at a 90-degree angle and stayed for a minute. It wasn't until everyone began to suspect that the thing in front of him that looked like an angle ruler was not an animal but a plant, that he restored his waist to a state of about 150 degrees and said to everyone:

"A year ago, we conducted a survey on the status of research and development in coal-to-liquids technology in China at the request of the President, and I gave a detailed introduction to the board of directors on the methodology and conclusions of the investigation. Judging from the process of the investigation, our work is flawless and fully complies with the norms of general business intelligence investigation. Our investigation report remains in the archives and the Board of Directors can engage professionals to conduct an appraisal to determine whether there are any errors in our work. ”

This is a typical Japanese style of throwing pot. I do things according to the norms, every step has a theoretical basis, every step is true and reliable, there are detailed records, as for the conclusion is wrong, then I'm sorry, it's not that I'm incompetent, but the other party doesn't play cards according to common sense, what can I do?

Koji Takai also understands this, and Japanese companies still pay attention to this set. You do what you do, and you are not at fault if you do it wrong. If you are ingenious, even if you make achievements, everyone has to pick and choose, saying that if you don't do this, the effect will definitely be better. After a long time, everyone has developed this habit, everything follows the rules, and never crosses the thunder pool by half a step.

By the way, some people call this custom of the Japanese craftsmanship......

"Uchida-kun does things, we are still relieved. Koji Takai avoided the topic of norms and asked, "Since your investigation was flawless, and now there are completely different results than you expected, what do you think is the reason?"

"Strategic confusion. "Chinese is very fond of intrigue, especially ...... Uh, especially this time the China Equipment Industry Corporation, which took the lead in organizing the research and development of coal-to-liquid technology, its general manager Feng Xiaochen is a very cunning person who has always liked to engage in all kinds of strategic confusion methods. ”

"I remember that many years ago, when the Chinese competed with us for orders for Argentine fertilizer equipment, Uchida-kun also fell for the Chinese, right?" Bai Tujun found another opponent and continued to mock.

Uchida Yu knew that the incident was his own handle, and it was impossible to keep others from mentioning it. He nodded sneeringly and said, "Yes, it was this Feng Xiaochen who strategically confused us that time. He arranged for a person to negotiate with us and asked us to license the ammonia process, when in fact they came up with a ruthenium catalyst-based ammonia process themselves. This time, they repeated the same trick and provided us with false information about their low level of craftsmanship through various channels in order to hide their true R&D progress. ”

Bai Tujun smiled coldly and said, "That is to say, Uchida-kun was deceived by the Chinese last time and did not learn a lesson, and this time he was deceived by the same Chinese again." Let's ask, is this because this Chinese is too smart, or because of Uchida-kun himself...... Hehe, I don't think I need to say it explicitly, right?"
