Thirty minutes later, Tokugawa returned to the table with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Tokugawa Shoichi, how's it going? Can the number come down? Director Liu asked with concern.

"Wait, wait. I had a dry mouth debating with the board of directors...... "Tokugawa Maseichi drank several glasses of wine in a row, and he looked extremely thirsty.

"Thank you for your hard work." Director Liu said politely.

"Director Liu, after my struggle. The board of directors agreed to halve the number of units to 30 units. Tokugawa wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Director Liu, this is the biggest concession for you." I have assured the board that I will definitely be able to go back with an order for 30 rigs......"

Director Liu's chest was extremely tight, and he said that you promised it too quickly.

"Mr. Tokugawa, wait a minute." He stood up and left his seat, pulled Zhao Yuemin to the corner of the wall, and discussed, "Comrade Yuemin, just now Mr. Tokugawa also asked the board of directors to reduce the number, you see...... Can you digest Jiangbei Oilfield? ”

"Director Liu, it's still difficult." Zhao Yuemin's scalp was numb and said, "Thirty drilling rigs, tens of millions of accounts." This year, our oilfield has made some money from the diamond drill bits of the machine repair factory...... Now, I'm going to get it all in......"

"Your Director Su has a meeting in Beijing, and I will call him later." Director Liu patted Zhao Yuemin on the shoulder, "Yuemin, the central government has called for attracting foreign investment, and our Jiangbei Province is also a developed coastal province, so we can't drop the chain." At the beginning, you produced diamond drill bits and raw materials, didn't I go to the first grinding wheel factory in the province for you to say hello? ”

"Yes, yes." Zhao Yuemin responded, and then insisted, "However, we also have practical difficulties. ”

Director Liu took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, looked at the goldfish bowl of the hotel and pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, thirty drilling rigs, your oil field package twenty, our province is responsible for supporting ten." Everyone gritted their teeth and let go, reluctant to have children, and couldn't trap wolves! ”

"This ......"

"That's roughly the plan, I'll go talk to you Director Su again......"

Director Liu told Tokugawa Shoichi that they would have to discuss and study their procurement needs again and give him an answer in two days. Tokugawa Shoichi nodded respectfully, revealing an inappropriately sly smile.

At the end of the banquet, Zhao Yuemin found the Japanese translator Xiao Chen and asked, "I just asked you to follow behind Tokugawa, what did you find?" ”

"Director Zhao, it's good that you should be fast. I followed Tokugawa and listened to his report to the board of directors. Xiao Chen said with a shocked face, "Things are not at all as Tokugawa said. In fact, the board of directors only asked him to sell 10 rigs, just to see the sincerity of our Chinese side. However, he raised it to sixty units himself, and then he played a trick and lowered it to thirty units......"

When Zhao Yuemin heard this, he gasped. Jiangbei Oilfield and the Provincial Department of Industry were almost played by Tokugawa. This Tokugawa acted in a bitter drama for the sake of the order. The Japanese are really unscrupulous.

It's been decades, and the current Japanese devils, although they take off their military uniforms and put on suits, their cunning level hasn't changed at all.

Without further ado, Zhao Yuemin immediately called Su Guoliang, who was in Beijing for a meeting. After Su Guoliang received the call, he heard that he wanted to buy twenty drilling rigs, and immediately shook his head and refused. The two reached a consensus on the phone - even 20 drilling rigs would be hemorrhagic for the Jiangbei Oilfield. With so much money, it is really worth the loss to improve that little bit of limited performance.

The actual difficulties are here, but the province can't help but give face, Zhao Yuemin and Su Guoliang discussed on the phone for a long time, but there was no plan.

"Yuemin, I'm in Beijing now, since Tokugawa is your receptionist, you can help me get this done." Su Guoliang gave an order, "My bottom line is to accept ten drilling rigs at most." ”

"Director, what can I do? You can't pick on it. Zhao Yuemin was a little anxious.

"Yuemin, I still say the same thing, there are always more ways than suffering. You are the most promising young cadre in the bureau, if this is done, I will allocate all the remaining funds to you for the construction of the factory. ”

"Director, you draw me a pie again......"

"No big or small, it's the organization trusting you. Let's do it, I still have to report to the members of the Central Committee in Beijing, there are many things, and I will leave this mess to you. ”

Su Guoliang didn't give Zhao Yuemin any room for bargaining, and hung up the phone directly.

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, Zhao Yuemin now understands the weight of the words "the most promising young cadre in the bureau".

He returned home with heavy steps, feeling that he had no strength at all, and he didn't even move a bite of the food made by Zhao Chunda.

"What's the matter? Our factory director's appetite has changed, and he doesn't want to taste the food of the working people? Zhao Chunda sarcastically said to his son.

"Dad, don't talk about cross talk, I'm annoying enough this day."

"What's bothering you to say it and make your dad happy?" Zhao Chunda said humorously.

"Dad, you have to be steady......"

Zhao Yuemin explained the things at the noon banquet and the pressure on the procurement of 20 rotary drilling rigs.

"You say...... Is it a rotary drilling rig designed by Nippon Petroleum Co., Ltd.? Zhao Chunda asked.

"Yes, Dad. Their representative in China, Tokugawa Shoichi, personally came to sell it. ”

Zhao Chunda's face changed, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Introduce their products and show them to me." ”

Zhao Yuemin took out the product introduction book from his bag and handed it to Zhao Chunda.

Zhao Chunda put on reading glasses, browsed the content of the introduction book by the light of the table lamp, and after a while, he laughed.

"Dad, don't laugh, is there a way?" Zhao Yuemin asked.

"Boy, count yourself lucky." Zhao Chunda took off his reading glasses and said with a smile, "I remember mentioning to you before that after graduating from the University of Munich in Germany, I went to Kyoto University in Japan to teach petroleum engineering technology for three years. During his teaching period, he also participated in many projects of Japanese companies, including a drilling rig project of Nippon Oil Co., Ltd. And this Tokugawa Shoichi was my assistant at the time......"

"You said that you were involved in the design of this rotary drilling rig at that time?" Zhao Yuemin was surprised.

"Yes. Although they have improved a lot in some places, the basic structure is still the same as the drawings at that time. ”

"In that case...... Zhao Yuemin stroked his chin and said to himself, "Method...... There will definitely be. ”

……

Two days later, Director Liu of the Provincial Agency invited Tokugawa Shoichi to the private room of the Friendship Hotel again for a detailed discussion.

"Yuemin, I've already said hello to the province. Those ten drilling rigs, we have paid for it. How are you guys? Director Liu asked with concern.

"Director Liu, our oilfield still can't afford this money." Zhao Yuemin spread his hands.

"You ......" Director Liu's face became ugly, and he glanced down at his watch, "Tokugawa is coming soon, how do you ask me to explain to him?" If it is not possible to meet their requirements. Isn't our plan to introduce foreign capital just going down the drain? ”

"Director Liu, listen to me, this person Tokugawa seems to be respectful, but he is actually very cunning. I asked the translator Xiao Chen to eavesdrop on his conversation with the headquarters, but in fact, their board of directors only asked for the sale of ten rigs this time, and Tokugawa himself added 60 rigs without authorization, and then seemed generous and reduced it to 30 rigs. Zhao Yuemin told the truth.

"Is that really the case?" Director Liu frowned, took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, and smoked it.

"If you don't believe it, you go and ask Xiao Chen ......"

"It seems that I am too anxious...... I almost fell for Little Japan's tricks. Director Liu reflected on himself, "Xiao Zhao, thanks to your reminder, you saved us a lot of money, and I will negotiate with Tokugawa." ”

Director Liu turned around and was about to reason with Tokugawa, but was stopped by Zhao Yuemin.

"Don't worry. Director Liu, I have a solution. Zhao Yuemin said, "Can you let me talk to Tokugawa alone for an hour?" I promise that even if we don't get a penny from the Gangbuk oil field and the province, the Tokugawa company will have to invest in our province......"
