Chapter 80: Mountain Rain is Coming
Women's resentment towards men has been nothing more than these for thousands of years:
The talented ones are ugly, the handsome ones earn little money, and the ones who earn a lot of money don't care about their families, and they will take care of their families......
For Xu Mengrou and Ren Yuqin, they and Gu Biao have nothing to do, just ordinary friends.
But Gu Biao agreed to invite them to dinner, but in the end he had to break the contract because of force majeure, which made them happy and convinced.
"The plane that night was going to Yuezhou, even if there was no flight to borrow the Air Force's plane to squat in the bomb bay, I had to go", after this caliber was said, which girl dared not to be convinced.
After more than 30 years, this is just like when Boss Ma was filming "Gong Shou Dao", after answering the secretary's call, he immediately and sincerely looked for Li Lianjie's coat of arms: "Director, producer, I really have to ask for leave on this matter, because the president of Mexico will come to me tomorrow." ”
If you pull the timeline back a little bit, you can still see the conversation scene between him and the secretary, maybe it looks like this:
"Boss, Mr. President is coming to you tomorrow!"
"Which country?"
Han Ting Ye Su has met the president of the United States anyway, and there is a little bit of resistance. (But they all appear as background boards, and the President of the United States does not know them)
And the other cute new Ishminaya, the degree of confusion is not better than that of Xu Ren's salted fish group.
She is kind to Senior Gu's official duties, food and clothing, daily management, and trapeze ...... to the extent that there is a new version of the ship recognized.
"Then you hurry up and invite us to dinner!"
"Is there anything I can do to help? would you like to help you pack your clothes and luggage?"
"Pay attention to your body, go early and return early!"
The three stunned girls chattered and said goodbye quickly, and finally Gu Biao named them in time:
"What are you talking about, I've cleaned it all up—could it be that you guys still go into the boys' dormitory to help me clean up!"
After that, he handed Ren Yuqin's guitar back to her: "Next time I have a chance to play it for you, I'll play it to you again, anyway, it's already tuned, you learn it slowly." ”
Ren Yuqin was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
This is the hand that wants to make a contract with the officials of the US Department of Energy, and he actually condescends to play the piano with himself.
Gu Biao brushed off his clothes, hid his merit and fame, and boarded the bomber heading south with the hunting force.
……
Almost at the same time.
Ginza, Tokyo.
Mr. Clayton Lawrence has just completed a retreat with Mr. Sushi Mitsui.
Drinking high-end sake, eating tuna/octopus sushi for tens of thousands of yen in a group of Jiro Shukiyahashi, and receiving a lot of expensive Samoto specialties, I also found the most high-end escort girl in Ginza. With such a service, there is no way to make people unsatisfied.
Lawrence is the head of the Asia-Pacific region of Praxair, the largest supplier of gas equipment in the United States, because the Chinese market has not been opened before, so for 20 years, Praxair's Asia-Pacific headquarters have been in Tokyo.
Mitsui Sushi is the president of Tsuyomoto Acid Co., Ltd., the largest gas equipment supplier in Japan.
It is said that the two are rivals in competition.
However, due to the fact that the technical strength of Ben Acid Co., Ltd. is still a big step behind Praxair, some high-end products cannot be localized, and they still have to ask American fathers to buy them, so the relationship between the two sides is intertwined.
In some aspects that can be localized, the two sides are indeed adversaries. In other places that have not yet been localized, it is necessary to cooperate.
said that my ability to bribe LU is the best in the world, and giving gifts seems to have become a very sacred thing, and even makes people feel that they are too sorry if they don't accept it.
In contrast, because of the perennial absolute free market economy, there are no chaebols and state capital conglomerates, and Americans are somewhat unaccustomed to the behavior of bribing the other party's middle-level management cadres and selling out the interests of the company after being pulled into the water. As a result, a situation has gradually been formed, "if you want to issue an order in your own country, it is better to find a channel for your peers to market, and it is a big deal to share a few profits".
Considering that in recent years, Acid Co., Ltd. has become more and more closely following Praxair's technology, there are fewer and fewer products that cannot be localized, and orders in Japan are gradually shrinking, and Praxair's headquarters is not considering moving its Asia-Pacific subsidiary to other countries.
For example, Star Island, which has only begun to rise in recent years.
But in general, the plan is still on paper.
Before he could get back into his car drunk from the special services bar in Ginza, Lawrence saw his driver hurrying towards him.
The driver is an English-speaking local employee with the surname Fujita.
"Boss, just now your car's mobile phone rang, it was a transatlantic call from the US headquarters, and I came to you to reply. ”
Lawrence's drunkenness immediately woke up a little.
In these years, it must be a big deal to be able to make a transatlantic phone call after work to find someone.
In 1979, there was already a mobile phone service. However, the machine is still very heavy and not suitable for hand-held use, so it is mounted on a high-end car.
The roadmap for the development of commercial mobile phones in the world is roughly the first 73 years when Motorola made the first commercial machine in New York.
On the side, "Tsuyomoto Telegraph and Telephone Co., Ltd.", which had been a leader in the field of fixed telephones, saw a business opportunity and established a subsidiary specializing in mobile business, that is, NTT, in 76. After two or three years of follow-up R&D and technology introduction, the in-vehicle mobile phone business was finally launched in '79.
Because it was the first year, the equipment was extremely expensive, and it cost at least two or three million yen to equip it. Generally, only the presidents, presidents of large chaebols, or executives of multinational groups have luxury cars. (Because there are few users, the cost sharing of the base station is very high)
As for the real handheld mobile phone, that is, "Big Brother", it will not be launched by NTT until 6 years later, in 1985.
China's telecom counterparts followed up, about the end of 87 - in the first two years, there was only a cellular network in one city in Guangdong, which was specifically positioned to serve foreign investors in the Canton Fair, and there was no signal when it went out of the city. Even municipalities directly under the central government such as Beijing and Hujiang have no use for money.
And at that time, a big brother cost more than 70,000 yuan - in the same year, Zhongguancun in the capital was demolished and reconstructed, and the farmers of Zhongguancun only had to pay more than 2,000 yuan to buy a household registration.
It was an era when the big brother was worth 30 suites in the capital.
If you take that thing and hang it around at the Canton Fair in the spring of 88, it will definitely make the witnesses within a radius of ten miles feel like mourning and doubting life.
Without further ado, Lawrence, who is a tyrant, slipped into the car and pressed down his incomparably expensive car phone callback button - it is said that this function is still exclusive to him, because his electronic hardware technology is very developed, and these foolproof and user experience designs are better than those of the Americans.
It is necessary to add a single-chip chip for the callback function, and the price is 300,000 yen more expensive than that without call records and callback.
"Mr. Dullerson, did you delay your business? I was engaged in an important negotiation with President Mitsui of Acid Corporation. ”
After connecting the car phone, Lawrence shamelessly embellishes his drinking behavior as a business negotiation.
But the chairman of the parent company on the other end of the phone obviously knew his tone and didn't bother to ask: "Don't worry about those things, it's a shame! I don't know how your Asia-Pacific companies work."
Yesterday, when Mr. Auerbach of the Ministry of Energy attended the Canton Fair in China, he actually ordered two sets of Chinese helium-making machines! Why didn't you react in advance? The Asian market was robbed by Air Liquide's bargains, and you actually let the helium-making machines of Asian countries be sold to the United States?"
Lawrence's forehead immediately sweated, and this was indeed his dereliction of duty.
On the one hand, he has been in contact with Mitsui Sushi for a while ago, and there are some follow-up in-depth cooperation frameworks to talk about, although there are also some gifts and delays for a few days by himself, but he asks himself that he is still worthy of the company overall.
He also heard about the Three Mile Island melt pile and the follow-up plan of the U.S. Department of Energy, but he didn't pay attention to it. Because he felt that it was not for the people in his Asia-Pacific Division to be in charge of - because among the world's four major helium-making machine technology owners, there was no Asian country.
Shouldn't this be what his colleagues in France and Germany should be watching?
Who asked Gu Biao to let Lin Guodong operate those patents, the application number was disclosed too late, that is, recently.
In the era when there were no database search tools, it was normal for a new technology with an application number to be disclosed within one month and not be seen by peers.
Especially in the kind of fields that require a lot of front-end industrial foundation, everyone knows the difficulty of breakthrough innovation, and they are used to the slow pace.
"Hell, when will Chinese be able to build a helium machine, and even if it can be built, how can it be better competitive than ours? Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Mr. Auerbach, so I can only temporarily go to Guangdong to explore the situation and adapt to the situation......
The U.S. Department of Energy is not a familiar user of Praxair, and its usual public relations work is not in place.
Because of such a thing, the Department of Energy usually uses very little. If it weren't for the fact that nuclear power plants across the United States would be shut down in batches for cleaning and harmless treatment, such a huge amount of pure helium would not have been used.
In a hurry, Lawrence was burdened with countless pressures, took his secretary overnight, booked an international flight to Guangdong, and took off from Tokyo.
In addition, he made a special appointment by phone so that he could meet with the director of the Department of Energy, Auerbach. At the same time, he asked his subordinates to prepare all the negotiation documents overnight on the plane and send them to him after arriving in Guangdong.
Early the next morning, he hurried to the meeting place, only to be informed that Mr. Auerbach was meeting with representatives of Chinese enterprises and foreign affairs departments.
"Damn! Gotta stop that impulsive bureaucrat!"
Mr. Auerbach has become an "impulsive bureaucrat" at heart, who seems to spend only taxpayers' money.
