Xiao Liu was so shocked by Qin Hai's words that he vomited three liters of blood, but he still didn't have a problem with Qin Hai. The ugly thing they did in foreign affairs was leaked out by himself, and what Qin Hai said was right. As for remembering Qin Hai's hatred, getting Qin Hai a pair of small shoes to wear in the future, Xiao Liu really doesn't have such means, if Qin Hai is an organ cadre, the Foreign Affairs Office can crooked his mouth and cause him some trouble. But Qin Hai is just an ordinary worker, and the trouble of the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office to find an ordinary worker is not enough to embarrass himself.

Kunio Kishida's request to visit Qin Hai's house was finally granted. Kishida tactfully but firmly refused to be accompanied by Mr. Liu and other government officials, insisting on a chance to meet with Chinese workers' families alone. Guo Ming had no choice but to instruct the public security department to dispatch police forces to control inside and outside the steel factory where Qin Hai lived, in case of all kinds of accidents.

In the mid-80s of the 20th century, China's opening up to the outside world had reached a certain level, and foreigners had more freedom in their activities in China. In this case, it is no longer a sensational thing for a foreigner to ask to visit a Chinese family alone, of course, for the first time in such a small place as Pingyuan County.

"Mr. Kishida, this is the Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant I told you, and now I am transforming it into a special steel plant to smelt some alloy steel with special properties." Qin Hai drove Kunio Kishida into the steel plant, and then took him directly to the steelmaking workshop and asked him to inspect the production site.

"Mr. Qin, you said that this enterprise is your personal industry. Is that so? Kunio Kishida asked, and now there was no one else behind them. Talking can be more casual. Regarding the situation of the Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant, Qin Hai had already briefly introduced a few words to Kunio Kishida in the morning. In particular, it was mentioned that this was a company that he could control, which was the main reason why Kunio Kishida wanted to visit here.

Qin Haidao: "To be exact, this is a partnership controlled by me, and I can introduce my partners to you later." China is undergoing reform and opening up, and more and more private enterprises will emerge in the future. ”

Kunio Kishida looked at the hot production scene in the workshop and asked, "Mr. Qin, allow me to take the liberty of asking, what is the current annual output value of your company?" ”

Qin Haidao: "My company has just been established, but. In the next year, we estimate that we will have more than $300,000 in production value. ”

"$300,000 is only a micro business in Japan, but it's good in China, especially if it's your private business." Kunio Kishida said.

Qin Haidao: "If it's just for my personal life, let alone $300,000, even if I have an output value of $30,000, it is enough for me to become a rich man in China." But. That's not what I'm going to do. ”

Kunio Kishida said: "I know that you are the most ambitious young man I have ever met in China. Truth be told, this morning, I had the idea of recruiting you to work at our Fukuoka club. I can give you an annual salary of $30,000. However, now that I see your company, I know that this kind of salary will not impress you. ”

"Ha Lu Ha. $30,000 in China. For this price, you can hire 10 better professionals than me. Qin Hai smiled, "Mr. Kishida." Are you not afraid of losing money at such a high price? ”

At that time, the monthly salary of a Chinese worker was only about 50 yuan, and the annual salary was 600 yuan. And 30,000 US dollars is equivalent to 7 to 80,000 yuan, let alone hiring 10 people, even if you hire 100 people, you can hire them.

Kunio Kishida said seriously: "I see that people's ability is very strong, and your value is definitely more than the 10 professionals you said." ”

"Thank you for your compliment." Qin Hai replied. In the morning, he had exchanged his experiences with Kunio Kishida, and he knew that Kunio Kishida had studied in the United States, and later worked in many positions at Fukuoka Kaisha, and also had work experience in China, so he was a rare compound talent. Although Kunio Kishida is playing the ideas of Chinese and Chinese companies everywhere, he can definitely be regarded as a worthy opponent.

Kunio Kishida said: "Mr. Qin, what do you want to talk to me about when you brought me to this steelmaking workshop?" The equipment in this workshop is very old, and if possible, I would recommend that you purchase some of the latest steelmaking equipment from Japan, which can at least double the production efficiency and reduce energy consumption by more than 70%. ”

"We'll talk about this later, and when I really need to update my equipment, I might need to ask Mr. Kishida for help." Qin Hai said, here, he saw Miao Lei walking over here, so he shouted: "Leizi, you bring over two pieces of the finished military shovel we made for Platoon Commander Ge, and also bring over the steel samples we refined last time." ”

"Okay." Miao Lei agreed, then turned around and ran back to the workshop.

"Let's talk outside." Qin Hai said to Kunio Kishida.

The two of them came to a shady place outside the workshop, stood and gossiped a few words, and then saw Miao Lei and another worker named Dai Jiayin pushing a heavy cart over. Coming to Qin Hai and them, Miao Lei put down the car, looked at Kunio Kishida, then scratched his head, and suddenly said: "How...... How_do_you_do！ ”

I don't know when Miao Lei learned this English greeting, with some Pingyuan accents, it sounds like it means "good belly and fat belly". However, Miao Lei's kindness Kishida Kunio heard it, he bowed to Miao Lei, and replied in standard Chinese: "Xie Lu Xie, my name is Kishida Kunio, please take care of me." ”

Hearing the foreign guests speak Chinese, Miao Lei and Dai Jiayin were shocked. Dai Jiayin, who is over 50 years old, is a steel rolling worker at the former Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant, and he heard that Kunio Kishida was a foreign guest from Japan, so he rushed to help Miao Lei push the cart, the purpose is to be able to see what the foreign guests are like up close. He was so surprised to hear that the foreign guests could speak Chinese, and couldn't help blurting out: "Mom, aren't you a little Japanese, how can you speak our Chinese......

As soon as he said that, Dai Jiayin realized that he was wrong, and it was inappropriate to correct it, and his face was red with embarrassment for a while. Qin Hai also felt a little embarrassed, although everyone was shouting "little Japan" and "little devil" in private, but it was another thing to say this to his face. He said apologetically to Kunio Kishida: "I'm sorry, our master doesn't actually have any malicious intent. ”

"It's nothing, it's just a title." Kunio Kishida waved his hand and didn't take it to heart. During his time in China, he had heard his Chinese colleagues call him "Little Japan" more than once. Sometimes when he was on the bus, the person next to him would whisper something like this without knowing that he could understand Chinese, and he was already immune to it. If he had to worry about such a thing, then he would have to hit the wall.

Qin Hai didn't think it was a big deal, but it was Kunio Kishida's open-mindedness that made him feel a little more favorable. He picked up a finished military shovel that had been processed from the cart pushed by Miao Lei, handed it to Kunio Kishida, and said, "Let's get down to business, Mr. Kishida, look at how this military shovel is." ”

Kunio Kishida took the military shovel, played with it with interest, nodded and said: "It is indeed a very delicate design, but there are similar military sapper shovels in our Japan, which have their own merits and advantages from your products." ”

"Then look at what it's made of." Qin Hai also said that he did not originally intend for Kishida Kunio to appreciate the design of this military shovel, and he knew that the Japanese were more creative in engaging in this kind of small ingenuity.

"Material ......" Kunio Kishida knocked the surface of the military shovel with his hand and tried the edge again. Miao Lei wasted no time in turning out a small roll of scrap wire, placing it on the ground, and then made a tentative gesture to Kunio Kishida. Kunio Kishida knew what Miao Lei meant, so he raised his shovel and slashed at the scrap wire.

As Qin Hai had demonstrated to Ge Dongyan in the past, the military shovel easily cut the scrap iron wire into several sections, but the blade of the military shovel was undamaged. Kunio Kishida nodded again and said, "It is indeed a good steel, and it is not inferior to the high-strength alloy steel in the Japanese market." ”

If this kind of talk is left behind for 30 years, it is equivalent to swearing. But at this time, Miao Lei and Dai Jiayin were full of joy, feeling as if they had won a lot of face. Think about it, what an honor it is to be able to compare the steel made by Chinese companies with Japanese steel.

Qin Hai has no choice but to be helpless about this situation, the industrial strength of the whole country is one or two decades behind others, this is an indisputable fact, and it cannot be denied by the so-called national pride. However, what he wants to talk to Kishida about is not the question of whose steel is better, but something else.

"Mr. Kishida, I would like to ask, what is the approximate selling price of a steel like this in Japan?" Qin Hai asked.

Kunio Kishida took a serious look at the steel of this military shovel and said: "I haven't seen the specific performance parameters, and it's not easy to give an accurate estimate." In the Japanese market, this type of steel is about 5 million to 10 million yen per ton. ”

"That's ......" Qin Hai silently calculated in his heart: 5 million to 10 million yen, according to the current exchange rate, is about equivalent to 20,000 to 40,000 US dollars, that is, 50,000 to 100,000 yuan.

The steel of Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant is smelted from scrap steel, and the purchase price of scrap steel is about 300 yuan per ton on average, and even if various consumption is added, the cost of alloy steel per ton is less than 1,000 yuan. In other words, compared with similar products in Japan, there is a price difference of 50 to 100 times.

"Mr. Kishida, if I can provide you with a large amount of this steel, the price is only equivalent to 50% of the Japanese market according to the same performance parameters, would you be interested in acting as an agent?" Qin Hai finally threw out the plan he had been thinking about for a long time. (To be continued......)
