Tokyo, Japan.

The clean roads of Shinjuku City are full of traffic. The neon lights of the various shops engraved with the words "put the title" and "sell" add a psychedelic color to the dark night.

The 27th floor of the Ginza Building is still brightly lit. Shinmura Tanaka, president of Nippon Oil in a black trench coat, got out of a Toyota Crown and took the elevator directly into the company conference room.

"Tokugawa-kun, Fujii-kun, long time no see." Tanaka Nobumura smiled.

Tokugawa and Fujii immediately got up from their seats and bowed respectfully: "President! ”

Looking at the trolley box beside Tokugawa and Fujii, Tanaka Nobumura sat down and asked with a smile:

"Just got from the airport?"

"Yes."

"How's your health in China?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine."

"Good." Nobumura Tanaka said, holding a steaming coffee cup, "I heard that our Japanese "Blood Suspicion" is currently very popular in China? The performances of Tomomo Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi were outstanding. ”

"Yes, the researchers in our institute are watching this drama and often communicate with the Chinese side." Tokugawa replied.

"So, do you have a good relationship with the Chinese researchers?" Tanaka squinted at Tokugawa.

"This ......," Tokugawa replied cautiously, sensing that there was something unusual in his tone, "yes, everything is for the improvement of the rotary drilling rig project." We maintain a good relationship with the Chinese personnel, also for the scientific work of the project. ”

Tanaka showed a noncommittal expression at this answer, he put down his coffee cup, and said: "Tokugawa-kun, at present, you are in China, and maintaining good relations with the Chinese personnel is a face-saving project and a necessity. However, in fact, you should know in your heart that you are a member of our Japanese oil company, and you represent the interests of our Japanese oil company. ”

"Of course, of course, please rest assured." Tokugawa replied as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"I'm relieved? Am I relieved? Nippon Oil is one of the world's top three energy companies, and for Japan, which is poor in oil, what does it rely on to be able to squeeze into the forefront of the world just by relying on oil refining and selling petroleum equipment? It relies on the spirit of sincere cooperation from generation to generation. It relies on our excellent business negotiation skills and public relations skills. ”

Tanaka stood up, pointed to a photo of the vice president on the wall, and said, "It is the efforts of our successive presidents that have brought Nippon Oil to the level it is today. However, ......," Tanaka said with a frown, "this is a very unsuccessful negotiation with the Chinese cooperative research institute. I am responsible, and you are even more responsible. We, so ashamed that Nippon Oil simply can't explain it to our predecessors. I suggest that the three of us kneel down and repent to all the seniors on the wall. ”

An hour later, Tokugawa and Fujii stood up from their mats, holding their numb legs. Tokugawa found that after spending half a year in China, he was no longer able to adapt to the strong style of Nippon Oil. This feeling of unconditional obedience to his superiors made him, an engineer, a little unbearable. On the contrary, it is the research institute of his teacher Chunda, which has always maintained a tolerant atmosphere.

"Tokugawa, I'm going to give you a task." Tanaka said, "During your cooperation with the Chinese side, I ask you not only to do a good job in the improvement project of the rotary drilling rig, but also to get some of the research and development technologies of the Chinese side and hand them over to us. ”

"What?" Tokugawa helped his glasses.

"Five years later, our lab equipment was given to the Chinese side for nothing. In the past few years, the Chinese side has also learned our technology and management. We must reverse this unfavorable situation. Zhao Chunda can be said to be China's current top level of scientific researchers, and he and his son Zhao Yuemin have contributed several technologies to the Jiangbei Oilfield. The diamond drill bit technology they invented has also been internationally listed as an innovation and breakthrough in drill bit technology. I ask you to get your hands on the core technology of this diamond drill bit and hand it over to us......"

"I ......," Tokugawa's face froze, "I don't agree with you. ”

For Tokugawa, through the past six months of getting along, he has the impression that Zhao Chunda's father and son are reasonable, smart and kind people. Zhao Chunda is his mentor, who once gave him tuition assistance when he had difficulty in going to school, and he was also the initiator who brought him into this industry. Zhao Yuemin was young and talented, and at the age of just over 20, he fully supported a factory of more than 2,000 people in the Jiangbei Oilfield. Tokugawa even believes that this Zhao Yuemin is likely to become the new generation of China's Konosuke Matsushita.

Drink water and don't forget to dig wells, for the kind father and son, he doesn't want to do anything that damages the interests of the other party.

"President Tanaka, at present, the cooperation between China and Japan is good, and the improvement of the rotary drilling rig project has also made progress. At present, it has implemented processing trade cooperation with the Chinese side. I think that under the premise of such good cooperation, it would be ...... to do something extraneous again."

"Extraneous branches?" Tanaka's face sank, and he reprimanded, "Tokugawa, have you forgotten your identity?" Staying in China for a long time, does it make you respect and inferior? ”

"I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"This cooperation, no matter how you count it, is a victory for the Chinese side. They won the technology and the order. We...... It's just that they were forced to be blackmailed. Therefore, we must be compensated...... "Tanaka said.

"However, Zhao Chunda used to be my mentor, if I disobey this kindness to me, wouldn't I be a villain? How do you guide juniors in the company? Tokugawa was very upset.

"You're wrong...... Tanaka stood up, "The teacher's care really needs to be reciprocated, if you still attack the teacher at this time, it is not in line with our Japanese 'righteousness'." However, Tokugawa-kun ...... "Tanaka's eyes were cold," and this righteousness, this kind of kindness, is limited to our Japanese society. We do not have a duty of righteousness to all foreigners. Therefore, you don't have to be psychologically burdened. On the contrary, you are an employee of JPEC, and you have a duty to NEPEC in return......"

"No, ......no," Tokugawa shook his head, "I can't accept the idea that the teacher is limited to the Japanese...... I won't do anything to hurt my teacher. It's my personal moral standard......"

Tanaka looked at Tokugawa and didn't speak for a long time.

Tokugawa's face turned pale, looking at the night scene outside the window.

The atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked.

After a long time, Tanaka finally squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, Tokugawa-kun, I understand your thoughts." Forget it. I'm not going to be strong......"

"President, it's best if you think so." Tokugawa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, you go back first, Fujii, and you can do a technical report with me again."

"Yes!"

After Tokugawa left, Teng Jing took out the information from his purse: "President, I will now report on our ...... on the rotary drilling rig in the past six months."

"Needless to say......" Tanaka looked at Tokugawa's back as he disappeared in the corridor, turned his head to look at Fujii and said, "Fujii-kun, I have always valued you very much, and in front of the board of directors, I also praised you very much." I'll tell you the truth, this time to steal the technical information of the other party's diamond drill bits, it is not my personal idea, but ...... Order of the board! ”

"Huh?" Fujii said unexpectedly, "But Tokugawa is the director, he ......"

"As long as you complete this task...... Tanaka said with a sneer, "the one who is known as the director is you, Fujii-kun......"
