Although he got the formula of the gel from Wang Peichao, and the results of the small and pilot tests at Kusella were satisfactory, Takehiko Takamura was still in a state of uneasiness. He couldn't tell why he felt unsure, but with the sensitivity of a technician, he felt that this matter was not simple, and there might be some things that he didn't grasp at all.

"Gao Mura-kun, you're too cautious, aren't you?" Nishikawa Kiyonobu looked at the restless Takamura Takehiko and commented with disdain. These days, Takamura Takehiko is dangling in front of Nishikawa Qingxuan when he has nothing to do, looking like he wants to speak and stops, he himself is uncomfortable or not, others don't know, at least Nishikawa Kiyonoshi is annoyed by him.

"Chairman, I think we need to do more verification of these technologies, and it is very risky to take a technology that we can't fully explain yet." Takehiko Takamura said sneeringly.

"Haven't you verified it?" Nishikawa Qingxuan asked rhetorically, "Didn't your technical department already compare the knives we produced with the knives of Qutao?" ”

Takehiko Takamura said: "Indeed, we have made a comparison, and in terms of the hardness, strength, toughness and other aspects of the knives, we have reached the level of Qutao, and even surpassed. In addition, we have also carried out a spectroscopic analysis of the tool material, and the main components of the two are almost the same, and from these indications, the gel formulation we have should be real. ”

"Are there any other questions?" Nishikawa Kiyonobu said.

Takehiko Takamura said: "But we still have some uncertainties. First of all, the spectral analysis shows that there are some trace elements in the tool material of Qutao, which are different from ours, although they are traceable, but they are also worth being vigilant about. I can't explain the reasons for this discrepancy, or the possible implications of this discrepancy. ”

Shuichi Nagatomo said that this may be a problem with the koji pottery production line. He said that Chinese have always been sloppy in terms of quality control, maybe they threw something in the formula that shouldn't be in the formula, such as a pair ......of shoes," said Nishikawa Kiyonobu, who said that the words "shoes" were indeed said by Shuichi Nagatomo. The purpose is, of course, to create a hilarious effect.

Takehiko Takamura didn't think the joke was funny at all, he sighed softly and said, "I hope it's the reason, but I can't fully convince myself of this explanation." Qu Tao is not an ordinary Chinese company, as a company that produces fine ceramic materials, it is inconceivable to make such a simple mistake. ”

"So, what's your guess?" Nishikawa asked.

"I can't speculate yet." Takehiko Takamura admits, "I'm doing the calculations, but the whole calculation model is very complex. In particular, I still don't fully understand the principle of Chinese gel, so I can't analyze what kind of effect this strange substance plays. ”

"Then you go ahead and do the math." Nishikawa Kiyonobu said, "You just said that this is just the first reason why you feel unsure, so what other reasons are there that you don't?" ”

"Yes." Takehiko Takamura said, "Another reason is that we don't know whether the Chinese's knives have hidden quality hazards. If the knives produced with this gel are used, there are certain hidden dangers. And the Chinese themselves do not know, then we hastily use the gel technology of the Chinese. will make the same mistakes as them, which is also unacceptable to us. ”

"The reason you mentioned is worthy of our attention. Do you think the Chinese will put an unproven technology into production? Nishikawa asked.

"I don't know." Takehiko Takamura said, "What if they deliberately lured us in? ”

"To lure us into falling for at the cost of losing your reputation?" Nishikawa Kiyonobu asked rhetorically. "Do you think the Chinese will have such determination?"

It's a question that Takehiko Takamura can't answer. From a rational point of view, Qu Tao is now also a company with a certain international reputation, although it is not as famous as Cusela, but it will not be willing to die with Cusela.

Does Qu Tao have a grudge against Kussela? There is no doubt about the shady tricks that Cusela used in the Supermatch incident. It is impossible for Qu Tao not to know, and from this point of view, Qu Tao will certainly hate Kusera. But no matter how great the hatred is, it is not worth going into the water with the opponent, right? Unless Qin Hai is a madman.

So, is Qin Hai a madman?

Takamura Takehiko earnestly recalled several experiences with Qin Hai, and he was convinced that Qin Hai was not only not a madman, but also an extremely thoughtful and clever conspirator. In several collisions between Kusella and Qin Hai, Qin Hai made Kusella taste bitter, he seemed to be calculating his opponent at any time, and it was very difficult for his opponent to calculate him.

How could such a person rashly leak such an important gel formula? Tang Honghui was also seen by Takehiko Takamura when he was in the Super Race Company, and he knew that Tang Honghui's IQ and EQ were not excellent, and he was not a powerful spy. Kequtao's core technology was actually brought out by such a person, which seems to have a strong conspiracy flavor.

All this qiē is just Takehiko Takamura's speculation. He would love to share these speculations with Nishikawa Kiyonobu, but he couldn't. First, because the inherent hierarchical concept of the Japanese prevented him from discussing issues with the heart and heart like his colleagues, and second, Nishikawa Kiyonobu himself did not believe in all conspiracy theories. Nishikawa Kiyonobu had never had direct contact with Qin Hai, so his jealousy of Qin Hai was far less than that of Takamura Takehiko.

"Gao Mura-kun, you don't have to think about anything more." Nishikawa Kiyonobu kindly persuaded that Takehiko Takamura was also an important technician in the company after all, and Nishikawa Kiyonobu couldn't bear to see him look like this. He said: "In the past few days, there are a lot of companies that have come to sign supply agreements with us, so you should also take some time to contact customers and understand their needs." ”

"Hey!" Takehiko Takamura bowed deeply and walked towards the sales department with his head down.

The scene in the sales department was quite spectacular, more than 20 salespeople were holding a telephone, were busy answering the phone, from the few words they answered, Takamura Takehiko could hear that they were all answering the customer's inquiry, and obviously the customer's attitude was very eager. In several rooms, customers from all over the world are arguing with the sales managers, all of whom have joyful smiles on their faces.

At the head of the sales department is the office of sales director Tatsuo Tanaka, and when Takehiko Takamura walks in, Tatsuo Tanaka is facing a thick stack of contracts and studying carefully. Seeing Takehiko Takamura, Tatsuo Tanaka greeted happily: "Takamura-kun, you are really a hero of the company, you see that these orders are all about ceramic knives." In just these ten days, our order volume has exceeded that of last year. ”

Takamura Takehiko waved his hand and said: "Tanaka-kun has won the award, what kind of hero am I, what is the technology of the knife, isn't Tanaka-kun very clear?" ”

As the sales director, Tatsuo Tanaka certainly knows where the technology of these knives comes from, and praising how advanced these technologies are, not only is it not an affirmation of Takehiko Takamura, but it can also be considered a naked slap in the face. As the technical director, Takehiko Takamura could not develop decent technology by himself, and he had to rely on espionage techniques to steal Chinese technology, which is very embarrassing to study in detail.

However, whether Takehiko Takamura is embarrassed or not has nothing to do with Tatsuo Tanaka. He's in charge of sales, and no matter where the technology comes from, as long as it can boost sales, he's happy. He called Takehiko Takamura the hero of the company, but in fact, it was just a momentary gaffe, but when the words are spoken, it is not good to recycle.

"Takamura-kun is too modest." Tatsuo Tanaka said with a smile, "Besides Takamura-kun, who else can crack the Chinese's technology so quickly, and improve on the basis of these technologies." It is precisely because of our excellent technology that there are so many orders. ”

Takehiko Takamura didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, so he diverted the conversation and asked, "Tanaka-kun, there's nothing abnormal about these orders, right?" ”

"How can it be abnormal?" Tatsuo Tanaka said, "These orders are from major machine tool manufacturers and machine tool equipment dealers, and their qualifications are completely reliable. Thanks to Qutao's advertisement for us, many machine tool manufacturers now want to equip their machine tools with ceramic tools as an option for cutting high-hardness materials. If we hadn't advertised it beforehand, we would have had to put in some effort to get these manufacturers to accept this concept. ”

"Could it be that these manufacturers first learned about Qutao before they came to sign a contract with us?" Takehiko Takamura said.

"That's why many of our customers have bought tools from Qutao and are now turning to us for tool supply." Tatsuo Tanaka Road.

"Why did they abandon Qutao and turn to us for knives?" Takehiko Takamura was surprised.

"Because of our Kucera brand, of course." Tatsuo Tanaka said proudly, and after speaking, he seemed a little embarrassed, so he added stupidly, "In addition, our price is lower than that of Qu Tao, there are many knife products, and Qu Tao's price is twice as high as ours." ”

"It's strange, Chinese products have always been known for their low prices, why would Qu Tao sell knives more expensive than us?" Takehiko Takamura asked.

Tatsuo Tanaka said: "From what I have learned, the Chinese claim that their knives are better than ours, so they have a higher price. I heard that they also warned these customers that the quality of ceramic knives produced by manufacturers other than Qutao could not be trusted, and there might be a risk of strictness. ”

"That's what they said?" Takehiko Takamura asked with a pale face. (To be continued......)
