Listening to Iketani Kota's offer, Cao Zhiqiang just smiled indifferently.

"I think it's Mr. Iketani who is laughing. Six million dollars, how dare you open your mouth, really I don't know the market? Or do you think I'm a bully? ”

Well, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't know the market, after all, he has never been in contact with this industry in his previous life or in this life, and he doesn't know that the market price is normal.

Although he didn't know the real price, he knew the Japanese way of doing business.

In his previous life, he graduated with a major in English, so when he first graduated, he once went to work in a trading company under the arrangement of the school.

Although he didn't work for that trading company for long because of his personality, he gained a lot of work experience because of it, and he heard many seniors talk about the characteristics of merchants from various countries, and even received a Japanese customer once.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang knows that when Japanese people talk about business, they like to pretend, and one of the characteristics is that they like to say a particularly high price as soon as they come up, far exceeding the market price.

If you don't understand the market price, that's just right, they can kill you, but if you understand the price, they will go down little by little.

And according to Cao Zhiqiang's experience, when the Japanese talk about business, the price they offer at the beginning is generally about twice as high as the normal market price, so it is absolutely right to bargain.

However, it is a new product, this kind of second-hand production line, and it has to be cut even harder.

Sure enough, after hearing Cao Zhiqiang's words, Iketani Kota frowned, and then continued to say with a professional smile: "This, Cao Sang, the quality of our production line is different, and the technical level is higher, and it is normal for the price to be a little higher."

Of course, if we can facilitate this transaction, we will definitely pay some respect to you personally and ensure that you are satisfied. ”

As soon as he heard that the other party began to openly hint that he could bribe, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head directly, sighed and said: "Mr. Iketani, although I love money, but a gentleman loves money in a good way, I want money and will earn it myself, but I will never do this kind of bribery, it is not only a betrayal of the country and the enterprise, but also an insult to my personality." ”

Hearing Cao Zhiqiang say this, Iketani Kota immediately stood up, bowed to Cao Zhiqiang nearly ninety degrees, and then said solemnly: "I'm sorry, Cao Sang, I was abrupt, you are a respectable person, I shouldn't talk to you in this way, here, I solemnly apologize to you." ”

After saying that, Kota Iketani bowed again, and his subordinates also reacted at this time, and quickly stood up and followed a bow of almost ninety degrees.

If someone else saw the other party like this, he might be very moved, but Cao Zhiqiang, who knew the virtues of Japanese businessmen, smiled at this, didn't take it to heart at all, just calmly pressed his hand: "Okay, okay, sit down and talk, don't waste time." ”

As soon as Cao Zhiqiang said this, Iketani Kota and his subordinates sat down again, but they were all sitting upright, showing great respect.

Looking at their pretentious appearance, Cao Zhiqiang smiled secretly, and then continued to say indifferently:

"Mr. Iketani, I know that our country has been closed for too long and is a little out of touch with the outside world, and you may think that our people don't understand the market of your related equipment in Japan.

In addition, you are a small company, and you are more realistic in pursuit of money, so the lion opened his mouth and wanted to take the opportunity to kill us.

Frankly speaking, although I don't agree with this kind of thing, I understand it. ”

As soon as he heard this, Kota Iketani hurriedly wanted to explain: "No, Cao San, I ......"

"Listen to me!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand.

Seeing that Iketani didn't speak, Cao Zhiqiang continued to say calmly: "Mr. Iketani, I just read the information, in fact, your two production lines, although they are second-hand, but this is not a problem, the problem is that your technical indicators are a little inflated and fake, which is unbearable." ”

"How so!" Takaguchiki next to Kota Iketani couldn't help but say, "You can say that our equipment is old, or you can say that the price is a little expensive, but you definitely can't say that our technical indicators are inflated and fake, and our Japanese companies will never do this kind of thing!" Our company wouldn't do that kind of thing! ”

"Takaguchi-kun!" Kota Iketani quickly turned his head and reprimanded Takaguchi, "Shut up, there's no place for you to talk here!" ”

"Senpai!" Gao Koushu was a little angry, "But he ......"

"Shut up!" Kota Iketani reprimanded him harshly again.

After reprimanding Takaguchiki, Iketani Kota smiled and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Cao Sang, my subordinates have just arrived, and they are too young, and they bumped into you on impulse, please bear with me." ”

After bowing lightly to Cao Zhiqiang again, Kota Iketani raised his head and said: "However, some of what he said is right, our Japanese companies have always been rigorous, and they will never cheat on technical indicators, and we will not do this kind of thing, once we do it, we can't raise our heads in front of our peers, and we can't do business."

So, even if you want to bargain with me, please don't do it that way, it's an insult to us. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Are you thinking that I don't understand anything?" Yes, you Japan are very good at publicity, and you have all kinds of propaganda about your craftsmanship and rigorous style, and I admit that your propaganda is very powerful.

But the propaganda is strong, and it doesn't mean that it is actually like that.

In terms of technical indicators, you may be able to fool others, but you will never fool me. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang shook the document in his hand: "Although I haven't seen the real thing yet, I absolutely believe that the technical parameters in your information must have a lot of water, and they must be fraudulent."

Because it is not your company that is cheating on technical indicators, but the behavior of your whole industry.

As far as I know, all of your manufacturing industries in Japan have moisture in technical indicators, and it's nothing more than how much moisture there is.

Therefore, in view of the bad habits of your industry as a whole, I am 80% sure that there is a fraudulent part of the technical parameters in this information you have given me!"

Hearing Cao Zhiqiang say this, Iketani Yuki became too serious: "Cao Sang, you are a very serious accusation, are you sure to insist on saying this and not take it back?" ”

"Of course I insist." Cao Zhiqiang sneered, "Because I know that what I said is the truth!" ”

Indeed, people in this era may really be frightened by the superficial kung fu that Japan has drummed, but this can't frighten Cao Zhiqiang.

In fact, Japan's counterfeiting is a real state act, not an act of a certain industry, let alone an enterprise.

According to Cao Zhiqiang's understanding on the Internet in his previous life, Japan began to inject water into various technical indicators as early as the 70s, in order to increase its competitiveness and highlight the excellence of Japanese manufacturing.

But in fact, even in the 80s, the first echelon of the real manufacturing power was still only the United States, the second echelon was the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom, and Japan was at the end of the second echelon at best, and more in the third echelon.

The reason is also very simple, manufacturing needs to be accumulated, not achieved overnight.

During World War II, Japan's domestic manufacturing industry was among the main industrial countries that participated in the war, not to mention that it was still a defeated country, and its industrial strength was tragically destroyed.

Except, of course, China, which, strictly speaking, could only be regarded as an agricultural country, not an industrial country.

Although during the Korean War, Japan inherited a lot of production capacity transferred from the United States, and because of its long-term focus on education and research and development, coupled with low military spending, its manufacturing industry did have a period of rapid development.

However, after all, the accumulation is not enough, and the time is too short, and there is still a certain gap between Japan's industrial strength and that of the United States and Western Europe.

But Japan will compete in a dislocation, and it will be very good at propaganda, and it will be the propaganda of the national system, which is very powerful.

For example, Japanese machine tools.

In fact, in the real high-tech field, Japanese machine tools at present, can not compare with the United States, Germany, Britain and France, so they take the low-end route, first develop low-end machine tools, and greatly reduce the price, the main one is good quality and low price.

To put it bluntly, Japan followed the path that China followed later.

When Japan relied on low-end machine tools to fight its way out, it began to publicize all kinds of propaganda, publicizing what craftsman spirit, what rigorous style, etc., which can confuse a group of laymen.

After all, most of the high-tech fields involve the military industry, most of them are confidential units, and they will not hype up civilian equipment that ordinary people can access, that is, low-end industrial equipment.

Therefore, being blown up by Japan like this, some laymen really believe it, for example, China once had a period of time when it was not necessary to create superstitions in Japan.

But in reality, made in Japan is an industry-wide fraud.

If I am mistaken, the whole industry, not only traditional industrial fields such as steel manufacturing, but also their traditional agricultural fields, are also cheating.

In the field of traditional industries, such as steel indicators, machinery indicators, they are all industry-wide fraud, which many countries have suffered from, such as China, has been fooled, really thought that Japan's things are good, but I bought a test, only to know that all are inflated, all are fake.

As for the agricultural sector, this is even more so.

I have to say that Japan's agricultural scientific research technology is indeed worthy of admiration, and many varieties of agricultural products in later generations are actually Japanese technology, which is true.

The problem is that scientific research and actual production are two different things.

Due to objective reasons such as the small size of cultivated land, Japan is actually not suitable for large-scale agricultural production, and even if all the land suitable for cultivation in Japan is grown with grain, it will not be enough for the people to eat, let alone eat well.

Therefore, Japan's grain self-sufficiency rate has always been low, even in the 80s, the grain self-sufficiency rate was not even 35 percent, and it had to import a large amount of grain from outside every year so that the people would not go hungry.

Since this is the case, and in order to protect agriculture after World War II, Japan has set up a monopoly peasant association, so Japan has changed its thinking, exporting high-priced agricultural products in Japan to make money, and then importing low-priced agricultural products.

If you want to sell agricultural products at a high price for export, you have to be accepted, otherwise why should people buy your high-priced goods?

Therefore, in order to be able to sell Japanese agricultural products at a high price, it is necessary to highlight the quality. Naturally, it is by propaganda.

How to publicize it, it is nothing more than writing advertorials everywhere, such as highlighting that Japanese agricultural products do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and have always maintained traditional farming, which is greener and healthier.

This propaganda began on a large scale back in the seventies, and not in the nineties.

It is undeniable that there may be a few farmers in Japan who still maintain their traditional farming traditions, but they are very few.

As long as people who have done farm work know that farming, no matter what you plant, as long as you want to pursue quality and yield, it is necessary to use both chemical fertilizers and pesticides, otherwise, it must be low yield and poor quality, and there is absolutely no exception.

For example, if you grow cucumbers yourself, you don't use pesticides or chemical fertilizers, you just look at how fine the cucumbers grow, and you will never grow coarse, green and tender cucumbers.

Others, including grains, fruits, and vegetables, are all the same, and if you want to have a large quantity and good quality, they must all be chemical fertilizers and pesticides together.

In fact, Japan's agricultural products use pesticides and chemical fertilizers on a large scale, and they use no less than developed countries such as the United States, but they shamelessly boast that their agricultural products have no pesticides and no chemical fertilizers.

As a result, Japan's agricultural products relied on this kind of boasting and deception, and they used to fool the United States and some other countries in the West, but it was only in the mid-to-late 80s that the United States wanted to clean up Japan's little brother and joined forces with Europe to strengthen the quality inspection of Japanese agricultural products, and Japan's agricultural products were completely exposed.

But in many Asian countries, such as China, the concept of Japanese agricultural products is still popular for a long time, and even at the beginning of the 21st century, there are some kneeling people who believe in it.

In fact, there is a saying that has been circulating for a long time, which can explain Japan's national institutional fraud.

That is, it is made in Japan, the best ones are for the United States and Europe, the medium ones are reserved for their own use, and the inferior ones are given to China and other Asian developing countries.

At first glance, this sentence seems to be Japan's black heart, but it is not, but it is a reflection of the authenticity of Japan's technical index fraud.

For industrial powers such as Europe and the United States, Japan knows that its products have been carefully tested in the past, so the products exported to Europe and the United States are all in line with the standards, and there is not so much fraud, so the performance is very good, after all, your products are qualified.

Japan's own medium use refers to the products used by Japan itself, and there is a certain amount of fraud, but there are not many false labels. But no matter how much false the standard is, it is also an unqualified product, so the durability is naturally poor, which is the so-called mid-range self-use.

For China and other developing countries, Japanese products are crazy and falsely marked their own indicators, and they are all seriously substandard products, so naturally they will not be able to reach the service life and quality of qualified products, which is the reason for inferior products and developing countries.

The bad deeds made in Japan have been concealed for a long, long time for various reasons, and it was not until the development of the Internet in the 21st century that it was finally exposed on a large scale, but this is for ordinary people, for real related enterprises in various countries, they have long known Japan's virtue of fraud.

Why is it said that after the bursting of the bubble in Japan, the economy has stagnated?

Because the bursting of the economic bubble not only hit Japan's economy hard, but also exposed the façade of Japan's fraud.

Therefore, now Cao Zhiqiang, although I don't know if the technical indicators in this information are really fraudulent and false, but he is a Chinese, a Chinese customer, so according to the virtue of the Japanese at this time, if you do not inflate the technical parameters in the data, you are definitely an unqualified Japanese salesman!
