Chapter Forty-Nine: The Yellow Sparrow Follows

"Director Zhao, why are you alone this time?" Tokugawa Shoichi, who was in a straight suit, looked at the empty box and said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tokugawa, Director Liu will be here later, let's talk more." Zhao Yuemin smiled.

"Okay. Director Zhao, I've heard of you. Tokugawa straightened his tie and said, "At the beginning, the diamond drill bit project we negotiated with Shengli Oilfield was originally a matter of course, but it was destroyed by your Jiangbei Oilfield Machine Repair Plant. ”

"Isn't that a good word for sabotage?" Zhao Yuemin sneered, "I envy your company's learning ability, which can copy the design of our products within two months and produce them quickly." ”

Tokugawa Shoichi still had a mechanical smile on his face: "Director Zhao, you can't blame anyone else for this matter, you can only blame your country for its legal deficiencies." Of course, I also hope that your patent protection law will be introduced as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Yuemin looked at the other party and said with a cold smile: "Mr. Tokugawa, let's consider the safety of his position." I can tell you in no uncertain terms that we will not buy any of the 30 drilling rigs of your oil company. ”

"What?" Tokugawa Masa, who has been coming to China to receive VIP treatment, changed his face.

"Director Zhao, I didn't understand what you said. You Jiangbei Province, don't you want our investment? ”

"Of course you want to, and you can't miss a single cent of your investment commitment."

"Joke!" Tokugawa Shoichi finally didn't care about the etiquette of the Japanese, and snorted, "Director Zhao, what you said is really ridiculous. ”

"I'd like to ask a few questions." Zhao Yuemin squinted his eyes and asked, "Has the rotary drilling rig produced by your company solved the problem of the breakage of the follower frame?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Tokugawa was thunderbolted for a while, his expression stiffened, and his voice trembled a little: "What do you mean?" ”

"As the chief designer of the rotary drilling rig, Mr. Tokugawa Shoichi, don't you want to explain this technical problem of your drilling rig to users all over the world?" Zhao Yuemin spread out the product manual given by the other party before, "The rotary drilling rig is actually not as good as you advertise, and there are still many deficiencies." Especially here......"

Zhao Yuemin pointed to the point of the drawing, "The follower frame composed of slewing bearing, bracket, card groove and pin shaft, after several years of use, is very easy to cause the connecting bolt to loosen, especially when drilling into the harder formation, it is subject to alternating impact load, which is easy to cause the follower frame to break, which paralyzes the entire rotary drilling rig." ”

While Zhao Yuemin was narrating the process, Tokugawa Shoichi kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

"Of course, Mr. Tokugawa." Zhao Yuemin continued, "Your rotary drilling rig just rolled off the production line a year ago, and the users who bought your drilling rig will not find out the problem until three or four years later. He looked at Tokugawa's haggard face and said, "I'm sure your board of directors has known this secret for a long time, and has been working on improvements to deal with the frenzy of complaints in three or four years." ”

"Your products are still very good, after all, the drilling rig will be used for more than three years before there is a problem, and the average user will understand." Zhao Yuemin continued, "But the bad thing is that in order to increase your popularity, you promised a five-year service life of uninterrupted excavation in the sales contract.

"You promised five years, but the rig will be scrapped in three years due to this irreversible technical failure, what do you think?" Zhao Yuemin pressed step by step.

Tokugawa Shoichi, who was originally sharp-tongued, was speechless at this time. He loosened his tie and felt the heat. He has always believed that the key problem for this investment in China is Director Liu of the Provincial Department of Industry. I didn't expect that such a young factory director would go straight to the crux of the technical problem of the rotary drilling rig.

It's the top secret of their boardroom.

"Mr. Tokugawa...... Zhao Yuemin tapped his fingers on the table and said, "How much do you sell rotary drilling rigs to the world?" If there are not 10,000 units, there are 8,000 units. If I were to publish in an international petroleum journal about the failure of your drilling rigs, what do you think those customers in the Middle East and Europe would think? Will your oil company go bankrupt due to breach of payment? ”

"No, no...... Tokugawa said with a broken face, "you must not do that. If you do this, we will have to pay a huge amount of compensation...... This issue, we've actually been working on improving ......"

"Director Zhao, Mr. Zhao......" Tokugawa grabbed Zhao Yuemin's hand like a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "What kind of financial compensation do you personally need?" In the name of Co., Ltd., I can give you a Toyota sedan and buy you a house in Tokyo, Japan......"

"Please don't insult me......" Zhao Yuemin replied categorically.

Tokugawa was stunned one by one, and with his understanding of China, he understood that the young cadres of this era still have a strong immunity to wealth.

"Yes, yes...... Director Zhao, so be it, please forgive me for my recklessness. In this way, I will ask the head office to invest a sum of money in your machine repair factory, so that you can expand the factory and introduce more production lines, how about it? ”

"Let's discuss this matter again." Zhao Yuemin looked at the other party and said, "Don't you want to know, how do I see your technical problems?" ”

……

……

"Chunda-sensei, Sainsai!" At Zhao Yuemin's house, Tokugawa Shoichi, who saw Zhao Chunda, immediately knelt down with a thud.

"Sainsai (Japanese: Sensei), how are you doing after all these years? Students miss you all the time. Tokugawa was kneeling with his head on his knees, tears streaming down his eyes.

Zhao Chunda nodded: "Zhengyi, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have also become the chief designer of the Petroleum Co., Ltd." ”

Tokugawa Masaichi burst into tears and kowtowed again: "Chunda Sainsai, thanks to you." In the past, when I was poor, I couldn't afford to pay the tuition fees for school, and I was the one who paid in advance. Shoichi didn't dare to be ungrateful......"

Tokugawa Shoichi respected his father so much, but it was not Zhao Yuemin's expectation. He read a book about Japanese culture recommended by Zhao Chunda last night, "Chrysanthemum and Knife", which said that Japan's human society is very clear about generations and classes. When young people meet their elders, they all say honorifics.

In Japanese society, it is important to repay kindness and hate it. Even if you accept a cigarette from the other party for no reason, you will say thank you several times, not to mention the elders who have supported you.

Zhao Yuemin originally hated Tokugawa Shoichi's cunning, but seeing him so respectful and sincere to his father also alleviated some of his disgust.

Zhao Chunda said with a serious face: "Zhengyi, when I was teaching at Jingdong University, I warned you, saying that you are a manufacturable material, but you like to be clever and take shortcuts. Japanese products are now exported to the world, and it is precisely because of their strict quality control that they have won the market. Attaching importance to credibility and product quality is the advantage of Japanese companies. But if you conceal a key technical problem, if the problem breaks out, won't it destroy yourself and the company? ”

"Students are obsessed, it's really damned!" As soon as Tokugawa listened to his teacher's admonition, he was once again ashamed.

"Okay, let's not talk about that yet. You came from afar, and you knelt for a long time, get up, let's have a drink. Zhao Chunda said in a slightly slower tone.

Tokugawa kept getting up, wiped his nose, and responded, "Hi one!" (Yes)"
