Chapter 115: Practical Supremacy and Technical Supremacy
Overall, the delegation gained a lot from this trip.
Of course, Meidong doesn't have the right to decide, but she's just a young lady who watches the excitement. But traveling with Uncle Uncle, accumulating relevant experience, and announcing her existence to the outside world is indeed the biggest purpose of her trip and the meaning of Uncle Longteng.
As for how the business was won......
In fact, if you think about it objectively, it is really interesting for Japanese people to talk about business. Either they will persistently harass you, as the international community is well aware, or they bow and express their determination and apologize and then bow and bow at every turn, and outsiders look at it as if it is not an exaggeration.
Or, everything is done at the level of unspoken rules.
But the so-called unspoken rule is not that no one speaks, as long as you give a look and a gesture, you can solve everything.
People in the United States and Europe often do not understand the direction of Japanese politics, and it is clear that they say so in the Diet, but when it comes to implementation, it is often the same. The reason is simple, of course, that is, although Japan has learned a lot about democracy, it is a very precise reference.
The real core of Japan's thinking has never changed.
The clash of words in the parliament is just a process.
Eating and drinking in the kiosk after work is the moment when things are really decided.
For example, Naoto Kan's position as prime minister back then was cheered and cheered by his party members in the pavilion.
For example, during the cabinet election, groups of lawmakers go to the kiosks around Chiyoda Ward every day after work. Then, Asahi and other major news newspapers also waited at the door of the kiosk early to see if they could catch even the slightest hint of wind and grass.
For European and American politicians who do not know these details, of course, they will be blinded.
This is true in politics, but it is also true in business.
Just like thinking back then, a Chinese company acquired two loss-making Japanese companies one after another, obviously turning losses into profits, but the government came forward to block the acquisition of a third company, Toshiba's memory business. The boss of the Chinese company immediately angrily denounced at a press conference that the country is not a democratic capitalist country, and then what he got was the unanimous silence of the press and the government.
In short, the relocation of the order for the last two Musashi-class helicopter destroyers was agreed to by the drunken Mitsubishi executive ban on behalf of the corresponding board of directors in a certain high-end kiosk in Yokohama.
"Come on, lords of this state."
He pecked at the sake and said, "The Ministry of Defense is really going to make a big move this time, and now it's the second Musashi-class, right, I can assure you that they will also make new demands on the third ship." Although nuclear power is impossible, if the heat loss ratio can be reduced to the level of China, maybe all-hydrogen energy can also be used! Hahahaha! ”
"It's terrible made in China."
Midong was only allowed to drink a small cup of sake, so she was still slowly sipping: "The delicacy of Germany, the sturdiness of the former Soviet Union, the design of Japan, and the high technology of the United States are all integrated." ”
"Miss Moko, it's definitely different from the other women of the Miyamoto family I know."
Executive Director Shuitun raised his glass to her, and said to Vice President Longteng: "Maybe Mrs. Zun can still be a special case, shrewd and capable, and has such a deep understanding of our man's world, and then you actually said such a thing...... Ah, it's amazing, it's an eye-opener! ”
This Mitsubishi guy is really drunk. Midong frowned, but seeing that the uncle didn't have a seizure, she couldn't say anything. But there was no reason not to talk during the banquet, she pondered for a while, and then chose an extremely important topic.
"General Manager Shuitun, I don't know how you feel about the two LM-4500 gas turbines we visited this afternoon?"
She swept away, and the uncle who was sitting with her, and even the other senior executives of Benzhou Heavy Industries, were all looking at her with interest, including Xinwei.
"Hehe, it's definitely not as good as our Skywalker.Vo1!"
Shuitun confidently patted his chest and said, "But when it comes to General Electric, it's still remarkable." Miss Mozi is now mentioning the model of 4500, so do you know 2500? ”
Meidong blinked, looking like she was humbly asking for advice: "I would like to hear it in detail, usual." ”
The smile of the beautiful girl has an irresistible lethality for a forty-year-old middle-aged man, and the drunken Shuitun is a little fluttery.
"The LM-2500 gas turbine is a product of the sixties of the last century, and it is very versatile. Ship power, power generation, oil extraction, and of course, the most important thing is to serve as a power plant for military ships. Because of its excellence, the U.S. Navy and the navies of other countries around the world use it as a power source for warships. ”
At this time, the audience was silent, and they listened to Shuitun himself talking. But no one was dissatisfied, especially several executives on the Mitsubishi side, who had been thinking about Midong from the beginning, and they were also thinking about it when they visited the engine in the afternoon. Now, looking at the details of the expressions on the side of the table, their clever brains began to fight for fate.
"From the official sales in the 70s, to almost 2020, before the LM-4500 was born, about 2,500 units were sold. If you want to say why they can last so long, it is directly related to the improvement of their performance. From the original 25,500 hp to the 47,370 hp of the G4 version, two steps were crossed...... You must know that the 260,000 horsepower of the Nimitz aircraft carrier can be handled by four! ”
Of course, in the early years, it was still a steam turbine.
"I haven't investigated much of this field before......
Mei Dong approached the other party in a hurry: "But according to common sense, shouldn't there be a 3500 between 2500 and 4500?" ”
"That's there, but ...... Hehe, the problem is too big to be seen by any customer. ”
Shuitun waved his hand and smiled very gloatingly: "But the technical foreshadowing is also available, so as soon as the 4500 comes out, it is 90,000 horsepower, good guy, 90,000 is this." And then like our three Iga-class, and this Musashi-class that is being outfitted, a reinforced version of 4,500, 120,000 horses...... Oops, if this is to put the aircraft carrier on ...... again"
"It's not enough to have a turbine, it's also for the reactor."
"The 100,000-ton Nimitz, paired with two 13W reactors, reaches a maximum speed of about 31 knots. With current technology, like the newly launched Ford class, it is theoretically possible to house 18W and even higher class reactors, but apparently ...... Everything is still about the needs first, not the technology first, right? ”
Therefore, the 28W horsepower of the two A1B nuclear reactors is only used to simply generate electricity. Then, unless they're going to add a Mega Particle Cannon to the deck, otherwise...... More than enough, huh? ”
Two rhetorical questions in a row, the clear thinking and novel brain hole of the daughter of the Miyamoto family really made the eyes of the adults present light up.
