684 Refutation of rumors
In the face of an uproar of public opinion, Hanhua Heavy Industries finally responded. At the same time, various media in Beijing received a notice from the Beijing Office of Hanhua Heavy Industries, saying that Hanhua Heavy Industries would hold a briefing in the lecture hall of a hotel on a certain month and a certain day to answer questions from reporters on the independent innovation of Hanhua Heavy Industries, which is of general concern to the public.
On the appointed day, reporters from nearly 100 media outlets arrived at the venue early. Photojournalists were scrambling to get the best positions, erecting tripods and telephoto cameras like cannon barrels facing the podium. The text reporters put on their most colorful clothes, hoping to attract the attention of the host on the rostrum and grab a rare opportunity to ask questions.
At a quarter past two in the afternoon, Bi Min, director of the office of Hanhua Group, walked into the venue first, walked to the rostrum, and sat in the position of the host. She was followed by six or seven other people, needless to say, all of whom were sent by Hanhua to explain the situation to the reporters. The last to appear was Lin Zhenhua, chairman of Hanhua, who had been eagerly awaited by reporters for many days, and as soon as he appeared, the cannon barrels in the audience turned to him together, and the flashing lights flashed.
"Fellow journalists, everyone has worked hard." Lin Zhenhua walked to his position, did not sit down immediately, but scooped up the microphone on the table, and opened his mouth with a smile to a room of reporters: "We are very moved and very sorry to see so many reporter friends. What touched us was that everyone cared about Hanhua very much, which made us feel flattered. As for regrets, it is natural that we have wasted so much of everyone's precious time and energy, and it is just a malicious rumor for a certain tabloid......"
There was a buzz in the audience, and almost all the reporters were agitated. The direction of Lin Zhenhua's words couldn't be more obvious. None of the reporters present knew that this incident was caused by an article in the Southern Economic Tribune, and Lin Zhenhua bluntly said that everyone was instigated by a tabloid malicious rumor, and this was a direct war against the Southern Tribune.
Speaking of which, Nandao is really not a tabloid now, and in China's paper media circle, it can be regarded as one of the banners. Before that. Although these giants have also carried out crisis public relations, they have never dared to directly call Nandao a rumor-mongering tabloid.
Reporters know that Lin Zhenhua's sentence came out. It is to put Hanhua and Nandao in the duel arena of life and death, and if the two families do not fight one of them, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop.
"Chairman Lin, please make it clear, which tabloid published malicious rumors, and what are these rumors? Can you prove that this is really all rumors? ”
Luo Shu, a reporter from Nandao who was sitting below, jumped up first and asked Lin Zhenhua menacingly.
Lin Zhenhua smiled. Turning his head to Bi Min next to him, he asked, "Director Bi, have you checked their qualifications when you invited reporters?" Why are some pseudo-journalists who don't understand the rules of interviewing also mixed in? ”
Bi Min hurriedly stood up, pretended to blame himself, and replied: "Mr. Lin, we made mistakes in our work, and we were not strict enough when verifying the identity of reporters. But I assure you, those pseudo-journalists who don't understand the rules of interviewing. Just a few people. ”
"Well, not a few people, right? A rat poop can spoil a pot of soup. Lin Zhenhua replied.
"It's ...... Because some of the rat droppings are too realistic...... "Bi Min said.
The two of them sang and harmonized, and they didn't turn off the microphone in front of them when they spoke. He even put his mouth at the microphone, intentionally or unintentionally. The reporters in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then they all turned to Luo Shu, who had just stood up and had not had time to sit down. Everyone can hear that Lin Zhenhua and Bi Min are deliberately disgusting Luo Shu, how much enmity these two have. ..., the reporters all have a curious mentality, the more fierce Hanhua and Nan Dao fight, the more lively everyone will see. Speaking from the heart, Hanhua used to be very good to reporters, and Hanhua's own image is also very positive, and reporters have a somewhat good impression of Hanhua. Lin Zhenhua humiliated Luo Shu just now, although there were also individual reporters who remembered the friendship of their peers. There was some dissatisfaction, but most of the reporters just watched it as a good show.
"Chairman Lin, I protest against your insults to our newspaper and my personal reputation!" Luo Shu's face flushed with anger and shouted loudly.
Bi Min smiled slightly and said, "This lady, even if you don't have the qualities that a journalist should have. At the very least, you should have some basic politeness, right? We have a press conference here, who allowed you to be loud here? ”
"I'm a reporter for the Southern Economic Tribune, and you attacked our newspaper, aren't you allowed me to protest?" Luo Shu said.
"We attacked your newspaper? Is there any evidence? Bi Min asked.
"He just said that!" Luo Shu pointed at Lin Zhenhua with her hand, "Everyone heard it, he attacked our newspaper for spreading rumors." ”
Bi Min looked at Lin Zhenhua and asked, "Mr. Lin, this lady said that you attacked the newspaper where she was, is there really such a thing?" ”
Lin Zhenhua waved his hand disdainfully and said, "I don't know which newspaper she is from at all, and I don't want to know." I'm just saying that there is a tabloid spreading rumors, and I don't say which tabloid it is, I think, only people who have done something bad will be so afraid, right? ”
"You ......" Luo Shu opened her mouth and stammered, not knowing what to say for a while. If you continue to entangle, it is equivalent to admitting in front of everyone that you are spreading rumors, but if you don't argue, no one can hear that Lin Zhenhua is pointing at the nose of the Southern Economic Tribune and scolding the street.
At this moment, Luo Shu experienced the pain of those who had been attacked by her insinuations. Now what Lin Zhenhua is doing is the same as what Nan Dao does, leaving half of the speech, and anyone can hear who is talking about it, but the person being said can't find a handle to refute it. In normal times, Nandao has the right to speak, but on this occasion, it is Lin Zhenhua who has the right to speak, at least, the microphone is in Lin Zhenhua's hands.
Seeing Luo Shu sit down stupidly, Bi Min's smile became sweeter, she sat down, and said into the microphone: "Dear journalists, welcome to come to Hanhua Heavy Industries' independent innovation achievement briefing. Next, I would like to invite Ma Jie, director of the Technology Information Research Institute of our group, to introduce the achievements of our group's independent innovation in the past 20 years. ”
Speaking of this, Bi Min made a gesture to the staff on the side, and the staff pressed the button, and the blackout curtains in the large lecture hall were automatically closed. The lights dimmed as the large projector hung on the roof turned on, projecting an elaborate video onto the curtain in the background of the podium.
This is a promotional video shot by Hanhua Heavy Industries with a lot of money. Originally, it was planned to be scooped to the equipment exhibition to broadcast, but now it is just used to introduce the relevant situation to the domestic media. Ma Jie walked to the host's position, held a red laser pointer, pointed to the content on the screen, and told the reporters in the audience:
"As you can see, this is a 15,000-ton large-scale hydraulic press independently designed and built by Hanhua Heavy Industries, which is the first time in the world that a square column structure has been used. Full digital control, such a design is created by our Hanhua. At present, our hydraulic press is the most stressful hydraulic press in the world, including manufacturers in developed countries such as the United States and Germany, who have to rent our machines from time to time to forge core parts for them......
This is a seven-axis five-linkage CNC machine, which is independently built by Hanhua Machine Tool Company. This type of CNC machine tool belongs to the products of Western countries to implement restrictions on the sale of high-tech equipment to China. Even when our engineers and technicians go to visit abroad, foreigners have to scoop cloth and cover such equipment, for fear that we will see the mystery. However. It is such a machine tool, which has been completely conquered by us two years ago......... which is a large-scale ethylene plant of 1.1 million tons that has reached the international first-class level, and we have all the intellectual property rights......
This is a fully automatic automobile stamping line, with which we beat the once prosperous Japanese company Xihu and snatched orders from international automobile giants......
It's ......"
The reporters pricked up their ears for fear of missing a word, their pens rustled in their interview books, and at the same time, their hearts gradually stirred with Ma Jie's narration.
Not long since. The essence of journalism has shifted from reporting facts objectively to being unsurprising. Many reporters consciously or unconsciously focus on those negative places in society, and take it as their duty to expose the shortcomings and expose the black.
In the eyes of reporters, hundreds of stories of strangers helping an elderly man who had fallen were not the news they needed. And if an old man falls somewhere and no one helps him, it becomes a big event. It becomes a source of "torture", "reflection", and "shock".
Similarly, when a Chinese company makes a world-class product, reporters either ignore it outright or send an ordinary press release without pain, and the latter is often motivated only after scooping up the red envelope handed by the manufacturer. On the contrary, if there is news that a certain product is actually a copycat technology, or the quality is not up to par, the reporters will be as excited as if they have been injected with chicken blood, and they will have to hype until the company closes its doors.
In such an atmosphere, the journalists themselves were anesthetized, and in their hearts, they really believed that China's technology was useless, everything was backward, and that anything that claimed to be advanced must be exaggerated. If it's not pompous, then it must be misappropriating someone else's technology, or it's something that foreigners don't bother to ......
No one has ever introduced China's own technological achievements to them so intensively, the world's largest 15,000-ton hydraulic press, the world's largest super-heavy-duty CNC horizontal lathe, the world's first large-scale gantry five-axis linkage hybrid machine tool, and the world's second laser impact strengthening production line...... Each technology has very detailed parameters, real pictures, and foreign media reports on these technologies with a bit of envy.
The blood of most journalists is hot, and the kind of people who only hope that China will make jokes are a minority. With Ma Jie's introduction, the eyes of reporters who occasionally cast on Lin Zhenhua gradually became hot, yes, this person is the person who led a company to create so many world firsts, and his company's products are sold to various countries around the world, including developed countries such as Europe and the United States. If these achievements are fake, then is the large amount of foreign exchange earned by Hanhua also fake? Nihon Heavy Industries, Xihu Company and other enterprises that fell under the guns of Hanhua, are they also fake?
"...... Uproar"
 
; When Ma Jie finally finished his introduction, the lecture hall resounded with thunderous applause, which was the reporter's heartfelt tribute to Hanhua. A few days ago, the doubts brought to reporters by Nandao's "mystery of independent innovation" have disappeared at this moment. Facts speak louder than words, with so many facts in front of you, who would believe Nandao's article on Spring and Autumn penmanship? To be honest, when the reporters first read Nandao's article, they could also feel the mystery in it. Everyone is a peer, and this kind of word play can deceive ordinary readers, but how can it deceive journalists?
Ma Jie bowed slightly to the crowd and retreated to his place. Bi Min returned to the position of host. To the people,
"Okay, the introduction of my company's independent innovation achievements, let's stop here. If you still want to know more about the content, you are welcome to visit our company, you will find a lot of things that you have not had time to introduce today because of time constraints, I believe that these things will also be able to bring surprises to everyone. The following is the reporter's question time.........", Bi Min's voice did not fall. Dozens of arms were raised together, Bi Min glanced around the audience, pointed to a male reporter in the front row, and said, "Let's ask this gentleman a question first." ”
"It's a great honor!" The reporter stood up, he first reported his name and the name of the newspaper, and then said: "Ms. Bi, I just listened to Mr. Ma's introduction, and I feel very excited. I am proud that our country has such a strong company as GCA. ”
"Thank you for the compliment." Bi Min replied.
The journalist continued: "Still, I have a question, based on ...... A report from a tabloid newspaper that Chairman Lin said. Is it true that many of GCA's technologies come from abroad? ”
"Totally true." Bi Min nodded and replied, "The process of the world's industrial development is the process of exchanging technology and making progress between enterprises. No company can develop independently without the technology of other companies, and GCA is no exception. In the process of China's development, we have absorbed the technology of many peers, including both foreign companies and China's own enterprises.
Let me give you an example, the China Chemical Equipment Alliance, led by Hanhua, is an alliance that exchanges technology with each other. Many of the intellectual property rights of the 1.1 million tons of ethylene equipment owned by Hanhua also belong to our peers. ”
"Thank you." The reporter nodded and sat down, although he had other questions to ask, but everyone only had one chance to ask, and he couldn't break the rules.
A question from a previous reporter. It was also a question that other reporters were concerned about, so the second reporter who was selected to stand up continued to ask: "So, Ms. Bi, does the absorption of peer technology you said mean that Hanhua actually does not have its own core technology?" In other words, GCA's technology is actually from other companies...... borrowed from it. ”
Bi Min said: "Absorbing the technology of peers and plagiarism are two different concepts. The former is legitimate, mutually beneficial, and in line with the laws of industrial development. In fact, while we have absorbed technology, we have also carried out a lot of independent development. The technology we end up using is very different from the technology we end up absorbing. There are many production processes imported from abroad, and the results of the use in our place are better than those used in the original enterprises, so that some of the original enterprises have learned from us in turn. ”
"So, the rumors that the NDRC used railway equipment orders as bargaining chips to blackmail foreign companies to transfer technology to you are also well-founded?" The third reporter who stood up asked.
Bi Min shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this speculation of yours is baseless. ”
"Is it unfounded, or does it not exist at all? Please answer positively, Ms. Bi. The reporter grabbed the flaw in Bi Min's words and asked.
"When it comes to trade secrets, I can only tell you that there is no basis. If I had to answer exactly what was there and what didn't exist for every rumor, then eventually our competitors would be able to use the elimination method to get our strategy. I think you should be able to understand this, right? Bi Min came prepared and replied without humility or arrogance.
"Who said there was no evidence!" Luo Shu finally seized an opportunity and jumped out again, "I personally interviewed a representative of a foreign company that was negotiating with the NDRC, and he personally told me that the NDRC had put forward such conditions to him. ”
"Can you show your evidence, lady?" Bi Min frowned and asked, her expression was like looking at a disgusting fly, of course, she made such an expression with the intention of disgusting Luo Shu.
"I have to keep my interviewees confidential, that's my work ethic." Luo Shu shouted. ..., "Work ethic? Lin Zhenhua interjected unhurriedly, "This lady." Don't you think the words "work ethic" seem so funny when they come out of your mouth? At the press conference, the rest of the journalists are asking questions as the moderator has arranged, and you can ignore the rules. Is that your ethic on display?
Also, just now everyone was talking about the issue of evidence, and you said that you have evidence, and at the same time you said that you can't present this evidence, does this mean that you think your own words are evidence? As a journalist, you can swell up to the point of imposing your words on others and saying that they are evidence. Isn't this kind of work ethic too bizarre? ”
The words made Luo Shu speechless, and she muttered sneeringly: "Anyway, I just have evidence...... You can't deny it if you want to. ”
Lin Zhenhua's run, that is, taking advantage of the mouth. Luo Shu said that she had evidence, and it was said by the parties themselves, which many reporters present still faintly believed. Hanhua's attitude is tougher, after all, it is the business of its own company. If you say it, others will have to discount it somewhat.
Bi Min looked at the reporters who were talking to each other, smiled lightly, and said, "In order to refute all kinds of rumors against my company. Today, we have specially invited Mr. Marko of the German Giessen Company to participate in the negotiations on China's railway equipment, and ask him to tell us what is going on in this matter. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the front row of the lecture hall was pushed open, and Marko, accompanied by two Chinese, walked in with a smile on his face and walked straight to the rostrum. Someone found that although Marco was smiling on the surface, his smile was stiff, and it looked more ugly than crying.
"Mr. Marko. Recently, there have been rumors that the Chinese government has put pressure on some foreign companies to tie up the acquisition of railway equipment orders with the transfer of technology. Bi Min asked Marco.
Marco took a microphone handed to him by Ma Jie, sighed silently, and then said to a room of reporters: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Marko, vice president of Giessen in Germany. Ying Hanhua Heavy Industries...... At the invitation of Mr. Lin Zhenhua, he came to Yun Hanhua Heavy Industry and the China National Development and Reform Commission to clarify a rumor.
Recently, some media reporters said that China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has put pressure on foreign companies like us to transfer technology to Chinese companies in exchange for orders for railway equipment. I guess that might be a misunderstanding.
It is true that we intend to transfer some of our technology patents to Chinese companies, but this is not due to pressure from the Chinese government, but ...... One of our after-sales service policies. In order to ensure that China can carry out the necessary maintenance on its own after obtaining the equipment provided by Giessen, we need to transfer this part of the technology to Chinese companies. ”
Marko's words can be described as a stone thrown into the pond, which immediately caused a splash in the sky. The reporters are also human spirits, so why can't they hear the information revealed in Marco's words? It is very clear that there is indeed a binding between railway equipment orders and the transfer of technology, and there is only one difference between Marko's words and the previous reports of Nandao, that is, the difference between voluntary and forced.
But if there is no government pressure, why would Giessen be willing to transfer technology to Chinese companies? It's not that there are no international friends with big noses, but this kind of Bethune-style good foreigner is very scarce. Marco came to China thousands of miles away, if it was to provide after-sales service to China, I am afraid that even pigs would not believe it.
But it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, since Marco himself said that this is not the government's persecution, at least the NDRC has no responsibility, and the media can't scoop up this matter to hype. People have said that this is just after-sales service, who doesn't know that the Germans are the most particular about after-sales service? Didn't it be said on the Internet that in the sewers built by the Germans in China 100 years ago, there were still several oil-paper bags buried in them, which contained accessories for repairs, and what was even more evil was that there was an oil-paper bag with a chilled plumber......
