Chapter 20: One Million Dollars
It was another pleasant day, and Fu Xin came to the booth of Murit Company early.
"Mr. Steven, I would like to ask you a few questions about this KB-748 CNC machine, can I ask?" Seeing Steven and his party walking towards this side, Fu Xin said in a flat tone with a harmless smile on his face.
"Oh? What are the problems? Hear it and I'll be happy to answer for you. Steven seemed to be in a good mood and said cheerfully.
"Of course, it's an operational problem." Yesterday, with the permission of Steven, Fu Xin passed the "addiction" of manipulating the KB-748 CNC machine tool, and he also processed a nineteen-tooth gear at that time, and the people present were shocked, this is "self-taught"!
"Wasn't it yesterday that you read the manual? You've also made a 19-tooth gear, and looking at your operation, you're not a newcomer, so you shouldn't have a problem? Steven was puzzled.
Fu Xin took out the harmless expression of humans and animals before, smiled and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said: "Mr. Steven, that's the case, yesterday with your permission, I was addicted to operating the KB-748 CNC machine tool in front of me under the envy of everyone, but in the process of operation, I was originally going to process the twenty-nine-tooth gear......"
Speaking of this, Fu Xin obviously noticed that Steven's face had changed, and he was no longer so relaxed, and then pointed to a quiet corner and said, "Mr. Fu Xin, let's go over there and talk." ”
Fu Xin nodded, walked over with Steven's footsteps, and then said quietly: "Later, I felt a little wrong, so I temporarily changed it to nineteen teeth, so you saw yesterday that the finished product I processed was so uneven, not passing, and unqualified."
So I went back after work and thought about it carefully, and after some inference, I found that your company's KB-748 CNC machine tool seems to be able to only process parts with 28 teeth and 28 teeth. ”
In Fu Xin's explanation, he didn't pay attention at all, oh, it should be said that he cared about Steven's increasingly ugly and gradually purple expression.
Steven, who had completely frozen his smile, trembled his hands from Fu Xin's hand, looked at the analysis written by Fu Xin, and couldn't help but tremble, fortunately a staff member of Murit Company on the side supported him, and then stammered to Fu Xin: "Mr. Fu Xin, have you used this series of machine tools of our company before, how do you know about this defect?" ”
Before Fu Xin could speak, Steve muttered again: "No, our company's product has not been on the market for a long time, and this is the first time to come to the Chinese market, you said before that you have not been out of China, you can't have operated our company's machine tool before, unless, you have been to Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang bought a KB-748 machine tool of our company several months ago." ”
Fu Xin shook his head and said, "Mr. Steven, I have not been to Xiangjiang, to be exact, I have not been out of Chinese mainland. ”
"Of course, the fact that I have been to the battlefields of South Vietnam cannot be counted, and you can't know this!" Fu Xin added in his heart.
"Then how do you know about this flaw, this flaw, even our opponent, and don't know, are you a spy?" Steven suddenly became excited, and he was almost about to pull Fu Xin's collar for questioning!
Fu Xin smiled secretly in his heart, since he found out that this was the KB-748 CNC machine tool of the Murit Company, he was happy in his heart, and he felt that he was almost here, so he began to try his best to get close to the personnel of the Murit Company.
Why? Because the control chip used in the KB-748 CNC machine tool is the famous Z80, Z80, this is a milestone in the control chip, and many CNC machine tools use this control chip.
It's just that the programmers of the Murite company are really low-level, serious and not up to the mark, when writing the program, there are several important bugs, when the machine tool sets the parameters at twenty-nine and thirty, there will be serious problems, the program will crash, resulting in a very high defective rate of products.
At that time, the software testers of Murit Company found these bugs during an accidental software test, but the programmers in their company were really rubbish, and they could only find loopholes and could not fill them.
It's just that at that time, their company had already started to sell the KB-748 CNC machine tool, and their company did not have the courage of Blizzard, so they could only hide this matter, and secretly organize personnel to repair this bug, and prepare to replace the chip of the KB-748 CNC machine tool that has been sold in the name of system upgrade before it is exposed.
It's just that the programmers of their company are really cheating, and they have been doing it for several years, but they have not been able to solve it, until this vulnerability was discovered by a European company and informed the media, and this matter was proudly exposed, and it also caused a huge loss to Muritt's company! All products are recalled, full compensation, not only lost money, but also lost name!
Fu Xin, as an academician of machinery manufacturing and automation, certainly remembers this matter clearly.
"Mr. Steven, you underestimate the wisdom of the Chinese, this problem, as long as it is a worker with some work experience in a Chinese factory, can be perceived." Fu Xin blushed and found an excuse for himself to "find out the other party's flaws" that didn't seem so suitable.
Because the KB-748 CNC machine tool has been sold in the Chinese market for four or five years, no one has found its defects, and finally got the news from a European media that this machine tool is problematic.
It is said that Chinese workers are powerful, although Chinese workers are indeed very powerful, and some parts and machines cannot be processed, but they can process them, but on this, no one has found out. So Fu Xin's excuse is really clumsy, but now, he Fu Xin "discovered" it in one night.
"Mr. Fu Xin, does anyone else know about this matter?" Steven asked apprehensively. Steven is the vice president of Murrett and one of the executives, so he is clear about the vulnerability of the KB-748 CNC machine.
Fu Xin said quite righteously: "Mr. Steven, we are friends, aren't we?" So this matter, how can I talk nonsense, you can rest assured, even my father does not know about this matter. ”
Hearing Fu Xin say this, Steven's face softened a lot, he touched his chest with his hand, forced himself to calm down and said, "Oh, that's good, Mr. Fu Xin, I hope this matter is only known to the two of us, and I will make some financial compensation to you, okay?" ”
"A million dollars!" Fu Xinlion opened his mouth.
"Oh! Mr. Fu Xin, you must be a vampire, how can you ask for such a high price! When Steven heard the price, he jumped up and said in a loud voice.
This price, he can't accept it at all, you know, their company only sells for 98,000 US dollars for a KB-748 machine tool!
Moreover, Steven can be sent to China as the chief representative, how to say that he is not a person who knows anything about China, so he clearly knows that the wages of the Chinese are so low that all capitalists are insane! Fu Xin asked for a million US dollars, which was completely unexpected by him, originally he thought that a few thousand yuan could get Fu Xin done.
"Huh!" Fu Xin smiled weirdly, and then said: "Mr. Steven, if my teacher didn't lie to me, the International Machine Tool Association has a publication called "CNC Machine Tools", you said, if I write to the editorial department of "CNC Machine Tools" and tell them the relevant data of KB-748 CNC machine tool defects, then do you think they will be interested?" ”
"Nope! No! No! You can't do that, you just said, we're good friends, how can good friends hurt each other? I remember that you Chinese attach the most importance to etiquette! Steven shouted loudly, which attracted some people's side glances, the previous time, a few people noticed this side, and now this shout, basically everyone nearby has looked over.
Steven found the burning eyes of these people, and immediately realized his faux pas, so he lowered his voice and said to Fu Xin: "Mr. Fu Xin, you can't do this, if you make this matter public, our company's losses will be huge!" Therefore, I implore you not to publish it, we are willing to give you hush money, I am in charge, 100,000 yuan! USD!
This is the highest authority I can make! This is already possible to buy a brand new KB-748 CNC machine! You know, we're only selling for $98,000! ”
After saying this, Steven felt that his whole body had lost strength.
Fu Xin shook his head and said: "Mr. Steven, one million dollars, not a penny less, I remember you said that your company has sold more than 200 CNC machine tools, and according to 200 units, it is already 19.6 million US dollars." If this matter is exposed, you must recall all the products! But I think it's a drop in the bucket for your company, and it's not a big deal! After speaking, Fu Xin smiled evilly.
"yes, even if it's 200 units, we're going to lose 19.6 million dollars......" Steven muttered.
After speaking, he made a bitter face and continued: "This is not only 19.6 million US dollars, but more importantly, the company will lose credibility because of this incident, which is a disaster!" ”
Steven thought for a while, and said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Fu Xin, I know, I can't agree if I don't agree, unless I use unclean means, but if you don't leave Chinese mainland, we can't do anything about you, China's security is clear to us, so we have to agree to this matter!"
Well, I'll agree to this matter first, and then I'll go to our company's board of directors and ask for the company's board of directors to approve it. So, I implore you to promise not to reveal this until the $1 million is in your hands, okay? You can rest assured that the board of directors of our company will not dare to embarrass you. ”
When Steven said this, he lowered his stature.
"Well, Mr. Steven, I agree to this! Don't worry, I won't let you suffer! Fu Xin said generously, of course, this is the money to come!
"Suffer?" When Steven heard this word, he smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, "Isn't it a loss to be extorted by you for a million dollars!" Are you trying to make a fuss like that?
