"Mr. Fang, Mr. Zhou...... Welcome to Japan, all Chinese friends. "Nohito Moriyama arrived in Tokyo two days early, and after reporting the situation, he came to the airport today to wait.

He was accompanied by Hiromatsu Sakaguchi, an official of the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry, who knew Chinese and English, as well as a good degree of German, in addition to a certain understanding of petroleum and industrial technology.

After a while, he found Su Cheng, asked about the Chengdao oil field with a smile, and said: "I heard that Mr. Su has mastered a part of the patented technology of shallow sea oil drilling, and we in Japan are also willing to cooperate with Mr. Su Cheng in this way." ”

"Our company is still very small, and we still need to think about cooperation. Su Cheng said casually.

Sakaguchi Hiromatsu was also tempted, and after saying such a sentence, he began to talk about the economy and the livelihood of the Japanese people. For officials who don't understand technology at all, this is the knowledge that can go back and show off, and everyone is excited again.

In just a few minutes, Sakaguchi Hiromatsu gained everyone's trust, and more than 20 people gathered around him to ask questions.

Hiromatsu Sakaguchi explained in great detail and seriousness, and only when he talked about his colleagues, did he occasionally show a hint of disdain and say things like "the guy from the Ministry of Health and Welfare made a mistake in handling this matter."

It made Sioux City understand the strength and pride of the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry.

As the engine of Japan's economy, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) has an astonishing amount of power, and is known as the general headquarters of the Japanese economy by interfering with other administrative agencies through economic problems. It is also known as the "Repensure Office" by officials in other provinces.

In addition to its large number of people and the fact that it does not know how to fly, MITI is very similar to China's National Development and Reform Commission.

Su Cheng didn't go to join in the fun, listened for a while, walked up to Moriyama Nohito, and said with a smile: "Are there many excellent officials like Mr. Sakaguchi in Japan?"

"Not much, of course. His Excellency Sakaguchi is a future star of the Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry Policy, and since graduating from Tokyo University, he has led many industrial promotions. He came to greet the delegation because the Ministry of International Trade and Industry attaches great importance to the Chinese community. "Nohito Moriyama is a little older, but his admiration is real.

Sioux chuckled. "Then it's strange, why does the Ministry of International Trade and Industry attach so much importance to us?"

Hitoshi Moriyama said with a smile: "It's not just your visiting group, it's the importance of all Chinese groups. ”

"If you all pay so much attention, wouldn't your future star be a tour guide? ”

Moriyama laughed and said, "Mr. Su is too humorous. ”

"It's not humor, I was thinking, it was the Industrial Policy Bureau, and I thought it would be an official from the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy. ”

Moriyama Nohito smiled reluctantly, "The Industrial Policy Bureau is the core department of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, and any project can be intervened. For the Chengdao oilfield project, the whole province of general production is very impressed. It was Mr. Sucheng's deeds that inspired Mr. Sakaguchi, so he offered to entertain your group. ”

"Thank you so much Mr. Sakaguchi. Sioux knew he was complimenting himself. Still pretending to laugh, his mind was thinking desperately, and he always expressed doubts about this trip. It is true that there are many cases in which the Japanese business community tries to steal domestic patents, but it would be a bit conspiracy to let the Ministry of International Trade and Industry take the lead.

For these future stars, stealing a set of patents. What's the benefit? Sioux City will never believe that the Japanese bureaucracy is all selfless and selfless guys who serve the country and the people.

After a while, another high-ranking Japanese official came to receive him and go through the motions. The ceremonies in East Asian countries have always been boring, and everyone tried to simplify the process as much as possible, but they still got it until the afternoon.

After that, everyone heads back to the hotel for a short rest.

At this time, Japan was at its most prosperous.

The yen's appreciation has not led to a recession, but on the contrary, Japan's exports are still growing, and almost everyone has benefited from the yen's increased purchasing power. Working-class household incomes have increased to more than 5 million yen, beyond the reach of Chinese, and rising.

In response to the possible contraction of the manufacturing industry, the government has adopted a deficit policy to expand consumption, which is like pouring a barrel of oil on a bonfire and igniting the consumption passion of all Japanese people.

The Chinese delegation stayed at the Meijo Hotel near Sensoji Temple and the Imperial Palace, and although it was a four-star hotel, the carpets and ornaments inside were all up to standard.

Sioux City even saw a famous woodcut by Escher, and when he asked, he learned that it was the personal hobby of its chairman.

With millions of dollars hanging in the crowded hall, Su Cheng understood the psychology of the Japanese chairman very well, and thought to himself: In two years, it is estimated that you will only dare to hide art in the safe.

Wei Kong arranged the three rooms in the Shengli Oilfield, handed the Su Cheng room card, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou lives in one room, and the two of us live in one room, you and I can do it, right?"

"Good. Su Cheng touched the magnetic card and turned it over to look at it. More than 20 years later, it only costs a few cents to make a magnetic card, and it can be distributed on the street without distress. But before the 90s, there were very few such things in Chinese hotels.

"Yes, right? People have keys like this. By the way, there is food and drink in the room, I heard that it is very expensive, it is better not to use it. Wei Kong said and kicked the soft carpet with his foot, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Japanese food is very small and very expensive, we brought some instant noodles, I will help you bring them?" ”

"Good. Sioux nodded.

It didn't take long for Wei Kong to return with a box of instant noodles.

Seeing this amount, Su Cheng asked a little speechlessly, "Why don't we eat instant noodles at every meal?"

"Wouldn't it be good to save money to buy something?" Wei Kong snapped his fingers and said, "Free flights, free hotels, free tour itineraries and tour guides, the only place to spend money is to eat." I've heard that Japanese people will entertain three meals, and I guess I can eat all kinds of Japanese food, and I will use instant noodles to solve the rest, and strive to spend a penny without spending a penny. ”

"Is buying sake a waste of money?"

"Of course it doesn't count. Wei Kong's throat moved, and he smiled: "Hearing you say this, our subsidy today is useless." ”

Su Cheng hurriedly shook his head: "I still have to prepare for tomorrow's negotiations." ”

"Oh, yes, negotiate, but I don't have to. Wei Kong happily went out.

A delegation of more than 100 people, of course, did not have to go to the negotiations for everyone. After all, most of them exist to serve other people, or to organize other people.

The next day, when Su Cheng arrived at the conference hall, he suddenly found that he was the only technician present, if he was counted.

The head office sent an old man from the Petroleum Institute, but he didn't know anything about offshore drilling......

The technicians sent by the Japanese side had no choice but to ask Su Cheng vigorously: "What kind of anti-sand method do you use?"

"How to solve the problem of electric submersible pump?"

"I heard that your shallow sea drilling can reach the point where the oil does not go to the sea? Do you use a cable divider with an exhaust valve?"

Sioux City kept up with the technical progress, but he also struggled to answer these questions, and on the other hand, he was not in the mood to answer them completely.

As a result, Sakaguchi was very dissatisfied and said, "Do you have any other technicians?"

The head of the Chinese delegation smiled embarrassedly and said to Su Cheng seriously: "Su Dong, please answer the questions of the Japanese representative as completely as possible." ”

Su Cheng thought to himself: Fortunately, all of them who are not tech-savvy are here.

He said yes, but he was still vague.

He knew very little and couldn't be exhaustive.

Just when the Chinese delegation was wholeheartedly preparing to apologize, Sakaguchi Hiromatsu also came to his senses, suddenly changed his tone, and said: "That's all for technical understanding, may I ask Head Zeng, what do you think of the cooperation between our two sides in offshore drilling technology?"

"Of course, this is a good thing, Japan is a developed country, China also has some experience in offshore drilling, and our cooperation can improve the level of both sides. "Head Zeng is a cadre sent by the head office and is responsible for this technical cooperation.

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and interjected: "We have sufficient funds of our own, as far as I know, Japan's offshore drilling technology is still very rudimentary, in this case, what is there to cooperate with." ”

Sakaguchi Hiromatsu said with a smile: "Our offshore drilling technology is indeed not strong, but China's technology is not as good as Britain and the United States, in the process of catching up with the world powers, our cooperation, isn't it possible to achieve the goal faster?"

"It doesn't hurt to listen to Mr. Sakaguchi's cooperation plan. "Commander Zeng has his political achievements in mind, and he is not interested in Su Cheng's opinion at all.

Sioux City could only sit on the sidelines.

Sakaguchi Hiromatsu smiled and said, "We know that the Chengdao oil field has been being studied for a period of time under the guidance of Mr. Su Cheng. You see how this is, we invest a sum of money to make up for your previous investment, and then, we will jointly study offshore oil technology, and the amount of this money is preliminarily determined to be 18 million ......"

"18 million yen?" said Captain Tsang, who took it for granted, that it was yen. Silently calculated, I felt that one million yuan was a lot. Although it is not as good as the investment of the ministry, after all, people have technology.

Sakaguchi Hiromatsu glanced at Su Cheng and said softly, "Dollars." ”

"What?"

"We are willing to invest $18 million to buy half of all the patents of your Dahua laboratory, and on this basis, we can jointly develop, research, and enjoy rights and obligations together.

Captain Zeng was messy when he boarded.

He's seen the information. The amount of funds invested by the Petroleum Corporation in Dahua Laboratory is only more than 3,000 yuan, and Sioux City has invested more than 1,000 yuan in Dahua Laboratory. The other party offered $18 million, which is already more than their investment, and only half of the patent.

In the eyes of head Zeng, leaving half of the patents is already quite good.

Su Cheng understood his eyes, and before Captain Zeng spoke, he immediately said, "We don't sell it." ”

Head Zeng was furious, glared at Su Cheng and said, "Su Dong, I am the head of the delegation." ”

"I know, but I'm the owner of the patent. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
