Chapter 210: Mitsui's Condition
In the humble office on the second floor, Wang Ye said to the two inch-headed young men behind him:
"Check it out!"
Although this is his own territory, in line with the policy of carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years, Wang Ye still issued this order, and then the two inch-headed young men checked it seriously, and finally said:
"No problem, Director!"
Then Wang Ye waved his hand, and the two of them left the room.
"You may be seated! Miss Mitsui! ”
Then Wang Ye found a chair and sat down, and Mitsui Hui was not polite, he sat down on the chair next to him casually, and he also crossed Erlang's legs, as if he was not affected by Wang Ye's verbal aggression just now, he looked indifferent, and even had the leisure to look around the room.
There was silence in the room, and neither of them spoke first.
At this moment.
Wang Ye looked at Megumi Mitsui not far away, and thoughts kept flashing in his mind.
In fact, since signing the procurement contract with Fujii in Yanjing, Wang Ye has been in a state of anxiety, and there are three worries about a total of three issues, according to the time and delivery process, step by step.
First question.
Will Mitsui fulfill the delivery? Is it possible for them to engage in some kind of drama to break the net?
To be honest, Wang Ye is not sure about this at all, because if Wang Ye is the president of Mitsui, then he will definitely not accept this threat, because of all threats, one may have two, and there will be endless troubles, rather than putting himself in a passive situation, it is better to break the net directly, or find a way to operate, anyway, for Mitsui, although Toshiba is very important, it is not so important that losing Toshiba will hurt the bones.
Second question.
Because of the large number of machine tools purchased, the entire delivery cycle takes one year, will there be any problems with such a long delivery process?
The simplest thing is that the sea freight has to go through the customs, and it will face the inspection of the eight cylinders and all aspects, will it be discovered? And then the direct matter is revealed? Not to mention, Toshiba is such a big company, the production of five-axis machine tools requires the cooperation of many departments and personnel, and as a result, after the machine tool is produced, it is stored in the warehouse, where is it? Will anyone suspect and then report it?
Anyway, the Japanese have always liked to go down to the gram, and the probability of the appearance of an inner ghost is simply not too high!
In the past history, the matter of Toshiba Machine Tool was revealed, isn't it because there is a guy in the middle of the trading company who is not satisfied with the promotion issue, so he reported it?
The third question.
If the machine tool is smoothly transported and into your own hands, then assembly and debugging is also a big trouble!
After all, in Wang Ye's view, these machine tools were obtained by themselves by threat, so Toshiba would never be able to give himself a good face, plus it also involves sensitive products and after-sales service? Dream on! It's like those machine tools sold to the Soviet Union, did the Japanese go over to install and debug them? How can it be!
So Wang Ye is very worried about this problem, because the machine tool is too precise, a machine tool is very large, there are many parts, the buyer finally needs to install, debug, test before it can be used normally, in fact, like Japan like Germany, many machine tools and precision equipment suppliers, the product itself generally makes money, and the real money is the after-sales service in the subsequent ten years, or even decades of use!
In this way, there is no after-sales service can only think of their own way, although Wang Ye has an in-depth understanding and use of many machine tools, but after all, he is not an engineer specializing in machine tools, plus the domestic machine tool industry is a mess, senior engineers are almost none, so the installation and commissioning of these machine tools after the arrival has become a big problem, not to mention the efficiency for the time being, the key accuracy will inevitably not reach the factory level.
Precisely because of this.
When Wang Ye arrived and saw the Japanese, he was actually very happy, they appeared in this place at this point in time, there is only one possibility, that is, after-sales service personnel, after all, machine tools are precision equipment, every step of transportation must be careful, theoretically need the manufacturer's engineers to stare at the whole process.
However, when Wang Ye saw Megumi Mitsui, to be honest, he chuckled in his heart!
As for the reason, it is also very simple.
Regarding the identity of the woman Mitsui Hui, after Wang Ye encountered in the desert, he asked Sattler to investigate, and now the granddaughter of President Mitsui, his father is also a big man within Mitsui, plus she can come out to participate in the family's internal test as a daughter, which is enough to show her importance.
is such an important member of the Mitsui family, originally she was clean and had nothing to do with the Toshiba machine tool incident, but now, she appears here, then the problem is big! Because of the current Toshiba machine tool incident, under their own threat, the scale has expanded more than ten times, if the matter breaks out by then, it is entirely possible for Megumi Mitsui, who participated in it, to go in and squat and write a book!
Can't the scheming President Mitsui see such a result? Megumi Mitsui can't see her father? It is said that parents have far-reaching plans for their children, does he want Megumi Mitsui to go to prison?
Impossible! When pigs fly!
Therefore, there is only one result, that is, they are going to do something again, and it is a big thing, they all say that they are reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, and now even Megumi Mitsui can be pushed out, and even as a pawn that can be sacrificed, the plan of the Mitsui consortium is probably amazing!
Seriously, Wang Ye was actually a little panicked.
Now he just wants to receive the goods safely and securely first, and he doesn't want to stir up any other big events, so when he heard Mitsui Hui say that she wanted to turn around and leave, he began to frantically squeeze her, wanting to get her away, but this woman didn't react, let alone spitting on her face, she almost shot herself, Wang Ye was completely out of line, and could only choose to take one step at a time.
"I didn't expect you to be so cautious."
Finally, after at least two minutes of silence, Megumi Mitsui said.
Hearing Mitsui Megumi say this, Wang Ye stood up and picked up the thermos, found two clean enamel tea jars, poured a glass of boiled water for himself and Mitsui Megumi respectively, and finally sat down and said with a smile:
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."
"And you were just because you weren't careful, you did something wrong, and I caught the handle, and finally fell into such an embarrassing situation."
Unexpectedly, Megumi Mitsui actually smiled, and then said with emotion:
"There is an old saying in China, which is called putting oneself to death and then being born."
Hearing Mitsui Megumi say this, Wang Ye almost couldn't help but swallow his saliva, fortunately, Mitsui has no military industry now, otherwise Wang Ye would have thought that they were going to attack Pearl Harbor for the second time!
After finishing speaking, Mitsui Hui actually stood up, carefully checked the room again, and finally said to Wang Ye:
"Although you are already cautious, your caution is not perfect enough, leaving important loopholes."
"You didn't check if I had a bugging device."
"Come on!"
As she spoke, she opened her arms and made a gesture to prepare for the security check, and at that moment Wang Ye couldn't hold back at all, waved her hand and exclaimed:
"I'm sorry, but we're a conservative country."
"Men and women don't kiss, I don't have a wife yet, it's not good!"
And Megumi Mitsui didn't change the smile on her face, and walked directly at Wang Ye, and said at the same time:
"It doesn't matter, I'm the main one in this conversation anyway."
"Stand up, for the safety of the rest of the conversation, I must make sure you don't have a recording device on you!"
Wang Ye shook his head, and Mitsui Hui stood two steps away from Wang Ye and said condescendingly:
"If you don't agree, then our follow-up deal will be cancelled."
"You go to the eight cylinders to report it!"
At that moment, Wang Ye suddenly felt that he had become the one who was threatened, his pupils instantly shrank a little, and finally he slowly stood up and opened his arms.
Megumi Mitsui didn't hesitate or care, she put her hands up and down, touched it very professionally, and after making sure that Wang Ye didn't have any eavesdropping devices, she returned to her seat and sat down and said:
"Alright, let's get started."
"I'm here this time with a total of three things, and I say you listen."
"First of all, regarding the first delivery, there are twenty-five two- and three-axis machine tools, totaling two hundred and seventy-five large and small transfer boxes."
"There are a small number of four- and five-axis machine components."
"In the follow-up delivery, most of the parts of the four-axis and five-axis machine tools will be secretly delivered in this way, except for a relatively large part, which will be transferred to a third country and finally assembled by you."
Hearing this, Wang Ye suddenly realized, unlike the Soviet Union's purchase of four five-axis machine tools, Wang Ye's purchase of more than 1,000 machine tools this time, and most of them are two-axis and three-axis, so if the four-axis and five-axis machine tools are disassembled into the smallest parts, mixed in them for transportation, customs and inspection, it is almost impossible to find, after all, the scale of a machine tool is so large, one of thousands of parts, who knows what it does?
"High! It's really high! ”
Even if it's Wang Ye, you can't give a thumbs up, after all, if a professional person starts to cheat, then those who don't know how to deceive are really a fool!
"Second thing."
"That's the after-sales team."
"Now you, must not be able to perfectly restore these machine tools, so it must be carried out by our people, although we have some contradictions in the past, but now we are partners, then we as a supplier, the most basic quality is still there."
"Besides, on the surface, we are carrying out normal machine tool transactions of two axes and three axes, if we do not give you after-sales installation and commissioning, it will not be normal, although this happened in your country, and our transaction process is relatively low-key, the United States and the eight cylinders may be difficult to pay attention to, but we must be rigorous in our play."
This time, even Wang Ye had to praise:
"Rigorous! Rigorous indeed! ”
Megumi Mitsui didn't react to Wang Ye's words, and continued to take care of herself:
"The third thing."
"Actually, my grandfather didn't agree to this deal, he said that he would rather destroy Toshiba with his own hands than let your shameful guy succeed!"
Wang Ye was not surprised by this, and said with a smile:
"Now it looks like your grandfather must have changed his mind, right?"
I saw Megumi Mitsui nodded, holding the cup of hot water, as if warming her hands, and continued:
"That's right, because of the advice you gave later."
"If Toshiba dies, it will have a certain impact on Mitsui, but it will not be fatal, but Mitsui's current problem, as you said, has become more and more acute, if it is not handled properly, it will really die!"
"So, my grandfather partially took your advice."
"The next Mitsui will adjust the pace, how to adjust, I can't tell you, because I don't know, but I can tell you the part that has to do with you and me."
"On the one hand, it's the broader global layout, and on the other hand, it's the one you said, which my grandfather called the 'Tiger for Trouble' plan."
"Then, when these two aspects merge, then now you have such a choice in front of you."
"That is: as long as you can shell out enough dollars, then not only Toshiba, but even the entire Mitsui, you can buy all products, such as this time four-axis and five-axis machine tools, and not only products, as long as you can shell out more dollars, all the technology, you can also get it!"
"How? Is this package appealing enough to you? ”
At that moment, I have to say that Wang Ye was indeed a little excited, because Mitsui is a huge industrial complex, and they have mastered a variety of world-leading technologies in this era, and these technologies are what China needs and lacks the most, such as machine tools, such as oil, such as materials, such as textiles, and so on!
"It's okay, a little, but not much."
"After all, we don't have any money, and your stuff is not cheap."
After a short silence, Wang Ye put down the teapot in his hand and said, although Wang Ye mentioned money, but money is not the point, the point is that many products and technologies nowadays, even if they are ten times the premium, they can't be bought, just like the Soviet Union, in order to buy those four machine tools, it is to pay ten times the price! Not to mention the specific production technology, it really belongs to the priceless treasure, talking about the money will be inferior, there is not enough interest exchange, dream about it!
Maybe Megumi Mitsui understood this, so she smiled and said with a smile that didn't seem to care:
"It doesn't matter, then I'll continue."
"It's not unconditional for us to pay so much, I'll talk about the next conditions."
"First, we must secretly set up a joint venture joint stock company, the kind in which both of us will jointly hold shares, of course, I understand that there is no such joint venture joint stock company in your country now, but I think that as long as there are enough interests to promote, everything is negotiable, isn't it?"
"Second, on the details of the shares, our requirement is that you must be the largest shareholder of the shares, because according to my grandfather, there are no heroes who make the shaft famous, and in today's era, the vast majority of the 'successful people' are just shafts, and only you can be called a hero! My grandfather admired you so much that he was willing to make such an attempt, and he didn't think anyone else could succeed but you. ”
"And Mitsui, as long as you have at least 20% of the shares, I will hold it on your behalf!"
"Thirdly, in order to suit the situation in your country, the shareholding composition of this company can be like this, you have 60 percent, your officials have 20 percent, and we have 20 percent."
"The preparation of the company requires you to contribute money, the official land and manpower, and we need the initial technology and manpower."
"Eventually, after the first generation of products came out, it began to be sold, and with most of the profits, we bought more advanced technology from Mitsui again, and then snowballed, as long as we have enough profits, then Mitsui's technology will be unreservedly open to this company, until one day it catches up with Mitsui, or our secret cooperation is discovered by the Americans, then naturally there is no way to carry it out."
Hearing this, Wang Ye, who was sitting there, couldn't help laughing, and drank the boiled water in the teapot in one gulp, and at the same time, Wang Ye had already figured out the connotation and significance of Mitsui's series of operations.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, three points.
First, through this joint venture, Mitsui has realized their "global investment strategy" and increased their ability to deal with risks, which in this case mainly refer to the threat of Americans.
The second point is that when this company was established, Mitsui achieved their goal of "raising tigers for trouble", as long as this company began to sell goods internationally, then the pressure on the Americans would increase sharply, and in this case, the Americans could not take any action against Japan, Mitsui, and Toshiba for the purpose of commercial competition or to maintain the technological leadership and suppression of their camp.
The third point, in fact, the emergence of this company, a rough look is good, a closer look has a certain hidden danger, because the follow-up profits are used to purchase follow-up advanced technology from Mitsui, although the company's technology is getting stronger and stronger, but Mitsui because of the harvest of pure profits, so research and development can be invested more, and then maintain their technological leadership, let this snowball keep rolling, this company can never buy the most advanced, and Mitsui can always get profits.
In general, although Mitsui does not occupy many shares, they make a lot of money.
Even during the whole process, they gambled once!
That is to bet on the development of this country, as long as the speed of development of this country is getting faster and faster, then the demand for machine tools and related equipment will be higher and higher, then the company's products, as the only existence in China, will quickly occupy this blank market, for them to obtain a lot of profits.
In normal history, this is how the market for plans appeared, but in the end, many of those cooperation were empty, the market was handed over, and the technology was not exchanged.
It's just that because of the existence of the United States, Mitsui can be regarded as a bloody investment this time, they did not spare the technology in their hands, and bluntly said that as long as they spend money, the transfer of technology is not a problem!
