I Chapter 34 Heavy dà leaks

The Minister of Commerce suddenly raised his voice and said, "Gentlemen, please remember that the world's market is limited. I don't know if the gentlemen here are well aware of this truth, but I know that there are many people in the world who know this truth. While we were still debating time about whether or not to reject the olive branch extended by Red China, our alliance had already set out for China to plead for an olive branch.

As we all know, Japan recently sent a delegation represented by the Minister of Commerce and Trade to China to negotiate the patent and sales rights for the introduction of the Xinghuo computer. If this is all there is, the Japanese computer market that we are nothing more than will be controlled by themselves, and it will only be the loss of a wealthy market for our American companies, and the problem of unemployment will be more difficult to solve, and these problems will be lost in order to satisfy the vanity of some people.

However, this morning, specifically at 7:30 this morning, we received a message from a reporter stationed in Beijing from the negotiation site: Japan will provide China with interest-free loans, high-end equipment, including complete sets of special steel smelting equipment, and a complete air-conditioning compressor production line、......"

These last few words are like throwing a large stone into the calm surface of a lake, stirring up a huge wave.

"How is that possible? Isn't the complete set of special steel smelting equipment prohibited by the Batumi organization? They dare! An official was so indignant that he almost got the case.

"This bunch of garbage is not a good guy, constantly bowing and giggling, and his heart is full of the idea of killing." A meaty-faced official said angrily, "Truman should have thrown a few more fat boys down at that time." ”

"Is this news true? I have to suspect that this is a rumor created by someone in our country. One official cautiously said, "Maybe it's the journalists' grandstanding." ”

"yes, isn't it a smokescreen that those consortia put out to sell their own equipment? We can't afford it. Even the most daring of the Japanese would not dare to do so. A nod.

"Humph! Dare to grab the market with us? Sanction them! One disagreed.

"Yes, it must be severely sanctioned! It doesn't matter if it's true or not. One said, holding up his hand.

A high-ranking official wearing glasses sneered: "Interest-free loans? Oh, what a nice name, but it's a pity that the loan is the yen ♀ and some of the Chinese in ancient times did not have a little modern financial knowledge, stupidly accepted, and thought how much cheap, it is really sad. ”

……

The Secretary of Commerce sneered, turned to CIA Director Schultz and said, "Mr. Schultz, please come and announce the truth of the matter." ”

Schultz did not get up, but straightened his body and said: "There is no doubt about this matter, our people bought off the negotiation records obtained by a Chinese staff member participating in the negotiations at a high price, and sent them back to our bureau in the name of a reporter. Although we suspect that China deliberately leaked the contents of the negotiations to us in order to cause us to compete with Japan, we are sure that what we get is absolutely true.

Here, I can also disclose the news that during the Sino-Japanese negotiations, regarding Japan's interest-free loan to China, the Chinese side proposed for the first time that the US dollar would be used as the settlement currency, and they would rather pay the interest on the loan, and Japan did not agree to this, so they started hard negotiations for this. However, it was our most equipment problem, and the two sides did not get entangled too much, and reached a relevant deal very tacitly. With all that I say, gentlemen, please continue. ”

With the CIA director testifying, no one doubts the veracity of the matter. Although their eyes widened in surprise, they all accepted this reality.

One official exclaimed, "We must not let damn little Japan go ahead of our great America." We must stop them from selling special steel smelting plants. We can export air conditioning compressor production lines to China, and we can also export air conditioners, refrigerator production lines to them. In the past, when China was seeking a production line for color televisions, these hateful Japan took advantage of a small mistake by our national enterprises to steal this business ♀, and in any case, the Japanese could not be allowed to take the lead. They are so hateful! ”

Hearing his words, several people laughed, all laughing at this small mistake, some gloating, but more good-natured.

As early as 72 years, China's State Council had approved the introduction of a color television production line from abroad to produce color televisions, and it was decided that the Ministry of the Fourth Machine, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Broadcasting Bureau, and the State Development Planning Commission would be responsible for the implementation. Soon a delegation of 12 people was formed in China, and at the end of 72, they first went to Japan to investigate, and visited the Japanese TV manufacturers Panasonic, Hitachi, Sony, Toshiba, Mitsubishi and Sharp. Because color TVs can be produced not only with one production line, but also several production lines such as glass shells, phosphors, shadow masks, graphite emulsion and final assembly are needed for the production of picture tubes, not only the price is far higher than the original plan, and no company can provide all the production lines, so China did not dare to decide to buy it immediately, but looked for related equipment from other countries in many ways in order to buy more cost-effective.

At the end of July, the delegation went to the United States for on-the-spot inspection, and found that in an American company called Corning, the company had a full set of color television production technology and related production lines. After haggling, Corning offered $130 million, which was eventually reduced to $73 million. Both sides were satisfied with the results of the negotiations, and the Chinese delegation then left for China, planning to report to the leaders of the State Council and sign a contract.

At the airport, in order to deepen the friendship between the two sides, the US Corning Company temporarily decided to give each of the Chinese delegation a small gift -- a bowl of snails for each person. At that time, no one in the Chinese delegation thought much about it, and was very happy to accept them politely.

What I never expected was that these small gifts had big trouble after returning home: some leaders said that this was the Americans' ridicule of the Chinese for procrastinating and slowing like a snail. Not only were the inspectors who accepted the gifts wildly criticized, but the results of this inspection were also completely invalid -- Corning's production line was no longer needed!

This matter was not put on the agenda until 97 years when the work related to the production and introduction of color televisions was put on the agenda, and with the "profound lesson" of exchanges with the United States, the personnel of this delegation concentrated on negotiating with the Japanese. More than 100 people talked in Beijing and Tianjin for more than a year, and it was only in seven months that a contract was finally signed with the Japanese side for a total price of $160 million.

The "small gift incident" not only delayed the Chinese by five years, but also cost nearly $90 million more. More importantly, China's color TV system has taken the road of Japanese production instead of the American system, so that Japan, which is happy and happy, will continue to make money from China.

In this matter, the Chinese suffered a big loss, and the Americans also wanted to cry without tears: that gift is purely a gift, and there is really no irony, okay? If we knew this, what kind of gift did we give?

It's a pity that Guo Zhuocheng didn't know about this in his previous life, and if he knew, he might be able to stop it. However, it is difficult to say whether the effect can be achieved, because when he was reborn, the second negotiation with Japan had already begun, and when he was admitted to Yunnan University, picked up a gun and went to the battlefield, gained a certain fame and gained a certain number of contacts, the negotiations were nearing the end, and it was no longer up to one person to decide:

It is impossible for one person to overturn more than a hundred negotiators at once after more than a year of negotiations, especially without knowing the state of American business and offers. Moreover, at that time, Japan's kindness to China far exceeded that of the United States towards China, and Americans, especially American companies, always looked at China with colored and arrogant eyes, unlike Japanese companies that could nod their heads and bow for money.

After years of Sino-Japanese friendship and propaganda by the Chinese government, the Chinese of this era have gradually forgotten the Japanese past and are working hard to look forward to the future in accordance with the instructions of the central authorities. As for the United States, it is still US imperialism, and although the Chinese people no longer shout to bring them down, they still do not like them and still hate them.

After confirming that the Japanese really sold high-end equipment to China, many officials changed their mentality, especially those officials who were indifferent to this matter, and suddenly stood on the side of the Minister of Commerce, who resolutely sold equipment to China, and parted ways with the deputy secretary of state:

As long as the Japanese are moved, even if the United States uses its strength to stop it, those devices that can be banned and relaxed will definitely be shipped to China by the Japanese. Now the Japanese are gritting their teeth and trying to develop, bent on catching up with and surpassing the United States, and they will not let it go as long as they have the opportunity.

Moreover, those of you know that the attraction of China's Spark computer is too great, and it attracts not only Japanese people, but also Europeans who are desperate to fight for themselves. Japan is now ahead of the curve, and the Europeans will certainly follow. The United States was able to approve Sweden's sale of the world's most advanced artillery radar positioning system to China, which greatly increased the speed at which the team could determine the enemy's hidden artillery positions, and if it now came forward to block Europe's export of other high-end equipment, it would undoubtedly make the European Union feel that the United States only allowed state officials to set fires and did not allow ordinary people to light lamps.

Many people's minds are unified: if Europe and Japan can make money in China, of course we Americans will also make money, and we will earn more, and that is a huge market with a large population!

Seeing that the forces on his side were collapsing, the deputy secretary of state was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't we in the United States think of anything other than to make money?" Didn't you think about the security of our country, didn't you think that Red China could be a lurking dragon, an evil dragon that just didn't show its fangs for the time being? Don't you feel short-sighted and ashamed that you are so scrambling to help them, blinded by small profits for the time being? I ......"
