Chapter 334: They're Villains
"Yes, on the one hand, we told them that we could not accept their high offers, and on the other hand, we promised them that we were willing to incorporate their research into our system of the Fengtian company, which they brought forward when they came," Kono said. We can promise to provide them with business ...... in the future"
An Peitian immediately objected: "No! No, they don't have any ability at all, and we pull them in purely as a backpack, and if they come in, they will lower our grade and make them brag about themselves outside." Give them business every year, isn't that what we are raising them for?"
The president also asked worriedly, "I'm worried that they won't be satisfied, what if they ask us for technology development that they can't afford at all?"
Kono Ichiro sighed and said, "We can only treat them as gentlemen first. If we treat them as villains from the heart, this cooperation will not work together at all. ”
"They're villains, and you treat them like gentlemen? An Peitian sneered, and then said, "If you can't cooperate, you can't cooperate." My opinion is to give them 20 million dollars, and if we sign a contract, the matter will be over, and we will break off with them. If they are not satisfied, we warn them or threaten to take other measures to destroy them. Maybe it scared them out and didn't spend a penny. ”
Kono Ichiro said: "If they are really frightened and go back without a penny, can you rest assured? Even if they fall asleep, they will wake up scared, right? They come with hope, and if you let them go in despair, you are not afraid that they will break the jar and break it?"
The president also felt that Ampetian Tianyi's method was unreliable, thought for a while, and said: "Then follow your method, we will give them a sum of money first, so as not to make them despair, but we can't make them too proud." Then we promised to give them some research business in the future. …… When this matter is settled, after a while, we will break with them. If it's a little bit longer, who will remember it? They just announced it to the outside world, and few people would believe them. ”
Kono Ichiro asked cautiously, "What do our American shareholders say?"
"He and his new girlfriend are skiing in Switzerland and can't make it. He said he personally paid up to $1 million in damages for the matter, and if the losses exceeded $1 million, he offered to buy shares. In addition, he also asked the company to punish your technical department. ”
"Baga!" An Peitian scolded and said, "His shares are already more than 5 percent, so why should he buy shares? Since he wants to be a shareholder, how can he bear only one million dollars in losses? It should be shared equally according to the shares! If those guys in Huaxia insist that we pay 100 million US dollars, will we pay the remaining 99 million US dollars? How can this really be reasonable!"
The president said helplessly, "There are too many things that make sense. This is not the first time that Americans have done such an unreasonable thing. This time, I persuaded him for a long time, and told him about the serious situation here, and he agreed to bear the loss of a million dollars, otherwise, he would not pull out a dime. By the way, his million-dollar loss has to be deducted from this year's dividends. ”
An Peitian was even more angry and said: "If this kind of thing happens, you still want to have dividends this year? It would be good if you didn't incur huge losses." ”
The president scolded: "Senior Minister Ampere, now we are discussing how to deal with it, don't complain." …… Now that the cooperation policy with the Huaxia Research Institute has been decided, what are we going to do with these cars that have already been sold? Do we wait for the weather to warm up and send roving maintenance teams to various places to quietly replace the brake system, or what do we do?"
An Peitian wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, just muttered, and no one heard what he said.
Ichiro Kono asked him, "If you make a round of maintenance, can you replace it before the winter comes?"
An Peitianyi, who is in charge of the marketing department, immediately said: "How is it possible? There are nearly 600,000 cars in the world, and our after-sales service personnel can't replace them even if they don't sleep all over the world every day." And we can't tell them to go to a repair shop with a lot of fanfare, and we can't openly say that we are going to change the brakes of all the vehicles, and it is very difficult to do it secretly. ”
Ichiro Kono said to the president, "President, I think we can only recall, all of them...... Except at most Southeast Asia, where the temperature is high and the brake system does not fail. ”
An Peitian was shocked, jumped up, and said: "All recalled? Since it is a full recall, what kind of cooperation agreement did we reach with that small research institute in Huaxia? Why did you give them such a large sum of money for no reason?"
The president said angrily, "Sit down, what's wrong with you these days, your IQ has become so low?" he said bitterly, "...... But we have to think about why and how we recall. ”
Ichiro Kono said: "We did have some problems with the power window circuits, and there were some cars where the windows could not be completely closed when they were raised, and there were still a few gaps. ”
The president frowned and asked, "Is the problem solved now?"
Ichiro Kono nodded and said, "It's solved, it's because of the problem with the displacement sensor, and we'll be fine if we change the supplier." ”
The president nodded and said, "That's the recall in the name of the possibility that the power windows may not be closed tightly......"
Ichiro Kono hurriedly said: "My suggestion is that there may be problems with the power window control circuits of some of our vehicles, and some circuits use a circuit chip that is about to expire, which is likely to cause the life of the power door control system." If the recall is carried out for this reason, the damage to the reputation of our company's products will not be too great. ”
The president pondered for a while and said, "Okay, then recall in this name." Now that we are in the process of media PR, I will arrange for the media to report on this matter, so that they can praise our company as a conscientious company that strives for excellence in product quality and cares about the interests of consumers. ”
"Hi. The two executives agreed with the president's arrangement.
The president thought for a moment, and then said to Ichiro Kono: "You have to talk to the chip supplier, they have to admit it, just say that their product storage department made a mistake, and they are willing to apologize to users." You tell them that we are just temporarily wronging them, and when the limelight is over, we will increase orders for their company. ”
"Hey!" Kono replied earnestly, "I'll do this." …… , President, what kind of research business will we have for that research institute, and how big is it?"
The president asked, "What is their current research direction, and are there any of them that they are good at?"
Before Kono Ichiro could answer, Ampei Tianyi said: "They are just a group of extortionists, what other research direction can they have? What are they good at? What they are good at is blackmail!"
The president looked at Ampei Tianyi with dissatisfied eyes again, and said, "Senior Counsel Ampere, can I think that you are prejudiced against the Huaxia people? Is it hatred that blinds your eyes? This institute has not done too much since the discovery of our defects, and has always paid attention to secrecy. Put yourself in your shoes, if you had found a design flaw in a Volkswagen vehicle, you would be kind enough to help them improve it for free?"
As soon as An Peitian blurted out, "How is it possible? If I don't destroy them, I'll be polite......" At this point, he stood up awkwardly, bowed to the president and apologized, "I'm sorry, president." ”
The president did not continue to blame, but said very understandingly: "I know that your daughter once fell in love with Huaxia, and then they broke up. However, personal feelings are private feelings, work is work, and I need you to be able to distinguish clearly. …… , you have also performed well in the past few days, and have been arranging for Section Chief Sato to be in contact with them, and maintaining a good relationship between the two sides. The next negotiations try to stabilize them as much as possible, and we must not let them poke out our design flaws in a fit of anger. ”
An Peitian was hilarious, he didn't say anything in his mouth, but he was saying in his heart: That's you two Chinese boys are interested, and you don't ask for anything excessive, you don't even go out to play, one hides in the room and reads a book and pretends to be deep, and the other goes to play with classmates by himself, and it doesn't cost the company a penny at all, and Sato Nagagawa can continue to do things in the company, why should I pay attention to them?
After receiving a notice from Fengtian Company that negotiations would begin on Saturday, March 14, Meng Wentian smiled and said in his heart: It's finally here. Huang Yufei and I have been waiting for you here for more than a week.
Meng Wentian wasn't too excited. Because of his breakthrough in cultivating the "Awakening Brain Technique", his brain is clearer and his memory is better than before. Delighted, he stepped up his cultivation of the "Awakening Brain Technique" to let his brain get more true qi nourishment, and at the same time, he was hungry and thirsty to learn undergraduate knowledge by himself.
In others seem boring to study, but for him is a kind of enjoyment, just a few days he finished reading a thick university construction machinery textbook, understand all the content, but also from the Internet to view a lot of knowledge related to these textbooks.
If he were to take the subject with an undergraduate student now, he would definitely be on an equal footing with the students who studied in the regular classes of the school, and even better than most students.
Huang Yufei, who came with him, was so happy that he couldn't wait for the negotiation as soon as possible.
In the first few days, Meng Wentian let him play at will, he was still very happy, and he felt very fresh, taking public funds to gather with classmates and friends, and holding public funds to pick up girls openly, who wouldn't be happy?
But soon after, he began to feel weak and guilty, feeling sorry for the salary paid by the institute, so that the pickle girl didn't have too much thought, and he had a little conflict with the beautiful schoolgirl for this.
This guy can't help but still have a sense of responsibility.
