641 Group
On the World Bank's side, several foreigners only listened to it, and all the important exchanges were handed over to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu began to get tired of this kind of never-ending nonsense after listening to it for so long, and said seriously from a neutral position: "The technical evaluation is not all clear on the table, and we have also understood the situation of the Chinese bid evaluation, except for the price part, there is actually no principled contradiction, and I hope that the Chinese side will give a reasonable explanation for the 'low price winning the bid'." ”
After listening to the translation, Fukuoka finally calmed down and panted and waited to see a good show.
Zhang Yifu immediately said: "Okay, except for the price, it can be said that there is no objection to our bid evaluation, right?"
"We have no objection. Xia Yu said bluntly, "If Mitsubishi is still not satisfied, it can file for arbitration or litigation." ”
This is a trick that is only used when you really play with your life, and even if Fukuoka wants to sue for Zhong, the headquarters will not allow it.
Fukuoka finally breathed a sigh of relief, and still had to follow the spirit of the World Bank: "Let's explain that we won the bid at a low price, and we will not consider such an extreme method for the time being." ”
"Explain, then. Xia Yu said to Zhang Yifu, "It's best not to use ambiguous rhetoric, this meeting is to give everything a convincing clarification." ”
"Okay. Zhang Yifu took a deep breath and looked at Lin Lizheng, Chang Siping and Zou Shiliang.
Lin Lizheng has no opinions, Chang Siping advocates picking out technical details to convince people, and Zou Shiliang advocates direct personal attack and beating him to death with a stick. In the subsequent small-scale discussions, it was determined that either the intensity was not enough, or the intensity was excessive.
A reasonable, legitimate, and convincing reason is the kind of simple, crisp, and nothing to talk about.
The reason for this is actually very simple, really, very simple. It is Japan, Mitsubishi's unique business model framework, that has created this situation, or let Zhang Yifu find this "convincing" reason. Take Mitsubishi as an example, because its business scope covers almost all aspects, it is too large and complex. Sometimes even the Mitsubishi Group itself will be vague, not to mention outsiders, outsiders will only generalize to Mitsubishi, and it is difficult to distinguish.
Dozens of directly affiliated companies, including Mitsubishi Electric, with the development of their careers, the entanglement of business is inevitably more ambiguous, such as Mitsubishi Chemical and Mitsubishi Chemical, Mitsubishi Aluminum and Mitsubishi Materials, it is not wrong to say that it is a cooperation object. It can be said that it is a competitor. It's like a huge family, with dozens of brothers and sisters, everyone has their own strengths, and it is certain to help each other, but there are bound to be contradictions.
There is a particularly crude and effective way to solve this situation in China, and the leader has an order to remove the removal and merge the merger. The Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Electric Power, etc., decades of adjustment and change between departments are the epitome of all this. And Mitsubishi is different. Dozens of companies are quite independent and painstakingly built over the years, and it is impossible to say that Mitsubishi Aluminum will be merged into Mitsubishi Materials, or Mitsubishi Insurance will be merged into Mitsubishi Bank.
As a result, the group had to let this development go and try to avoid fratricide.
Zhang Yifu didn't pay much attention to this matter before, and this time he was also forced to be anxious. This point was picked up again in the dispute between Lin Lizheng and Zou Shiliang.
Zhang Yifu took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and said categorically: "After our research and investigation, we can be sure that since the beginning. Mitsubishi Electric was not eligible to participate in the bidding. ”
The audience was in an uproar.
Of course, this uproar is also layered.
Those who can understand Chinese are in an uproar first, and then gradually in an uproar according to the speed of translation.
Even the Swedish bald head was wide-eyed, and the German golden retriever was interested.
Fukuoka was even more dumbfounded.
How can you be so confident?
Mitsubishi's history is longer than the time of the founding of New China!
No one spoke, and no one asked, not that this matter was unquestionable, but they knew that since Zhang Yifu dared to say this, at least there had to be a set of logical arguments.
Zhang Yifu coughed his throat and continued: "I need to ask Mitsubishi Electric a few questions, because before that, we did not fully understand the relationship between Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Group, and maybe several people from the World Bank did not fully understand it, and even you Mitsubishi yourself did not fully understand it. ”
After listening to the translation, Fukuoka immediately realized that Zhang Yifu had grasped the point, and replied without thinking: "We are one body of solidarity and mutual assistance. ”
"Don't worry, I'll ask. Zhang Yifu didn't intend to give him a chance to talk nonsense, and then asked, "Who is the main body of Japan's bidding, the bidder?"
Fukuoka was stunned for a moment, and then replied with some reluctance: "Mitsubishi Electric." ”
"So Mitsubishi Electric, has it ever produced a complete set of supercritical units? ”
"Yes, there is a Kashima power plant that you have visited, and there are two units that we produce. Fukuoka swallowed and replied.
Zhang Yifu snorted: "I don't know if it's a problem with translation or Fukuoka's expression, please make it clear whether it's produced by 'you' or 'your', whether it is jointly produced by the Mitsubishi Group, or independently produced by Mitsubishi Electric." ”
Hearing this question, more and more people finally realized the point that Zhang Yifu had grasped.
Many people also immediately turned over the materials in their hands and confirmed that the Japanese bidder was indeed Mitsubishi Electric, not Mitsubishi Group.
Indeed, in the eyes of most people, Mitsubishi is one, and there is no need to be so clear, they are all a family.
But from a legal point of view, the difference is huge.
Mitsubishi Electric's business technology and productivity alone cannot be compared with the Mitsubishi Group, nor can it be considered that Mitsubishi Electric's strength is the strength of the Mitsubishi Group, and Mitsubishi Electric has become an isolated entity.
For example, there is a bid, the bidder is Harbin Boiler Factory, although he belongs to Harbin Electric Group, but obviously it cannot be considered that this boiler factory has all the capabilities of Harbin Electric Group, he must be a boiler, not a generator.
Then a question arises, why did Mitsubishi Electric vote for this bid, and not Mitsubishi Group?
The answer is also very simple, Harbin Electric Group does not necessarily have enthusiasm for everything, maybe it is the Harbin Boiler Plant that is interested, you can't tell the group, you come to vote, I will do it.
Relatively independent operations will indeed improve the competitiveness of subsidiaries, but it will also inevitably lead to the dispersion of resources, as evidenced by the world's leading procurement of complete sets of supercritical power generation projects. (To be continued......)
