Chapter 231 You will regret it
After greeting Lin Zhenhua, Koizumi Jiro and Lin Zhenhua exchanged a few more false greetings, then got into the office area of ​​the Xihu company booth, found Kono Qinsheng who was busy sorting out materials, and asked him: "Kono-kun, I want to know, what are Chinese people doing in your exhibition area?"

Nihong Heavy Industry is an old customer of Xihu Company. As a technician, Koizumi Jiro also has a lot of contact with the sales representative of Xihu Company when purchasing equipment, and he has some faint friendship with Kono Qinsheng.

Hearing Koizumi Jiro's question, Kono Qinsheng felt a little displeased, but since he was a friend from the past, it was inconvenient for him to ignore it, so he just replied in a coping tone: "Mr. Koizumi, isn't this a clear thing? We came to the exhibition area of ​​Xihu Company, so we are naturally interested in our equipment."

"What equipment are they going to purchase?" Koizumi Jiro continued to ask.

As a result, Kono Qinsheng was really upset: "Mr. Koizumi, I'm afraid it's a bit presumptuous for you to ask this question?"

Koizumi Jiro shook his head again and again: "Kono-kun, that's not the case. I know these Chinese people. They are very cunning. You can't just agree to their procurement requirements."

Kono Qinsheng was taken aback, and asked, "Why, are they liars?"

"That's not true." Koizumi Jiro said, "But they are our competitors. They play their cards against common sense and dump equipment at low prices in the market, and have already taken many orders from us."

Hearing that he was a competitor of Nihon Heavy Industries, Kono Qinsheng felt relieved. He pretended to be sympathetic and said, "Really? If this is the case, I'm really sorry. Does the equipment have anything to do with it?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." Koizumi Jiro said, "They purchase equipment to improve their technology in order to form a stronger competitive advantage. If they get these equipment, our Nihong Heavy Industry market will be completely taken away by them."

Kono Qinsheng sneered and said: "Mr. Koizumi, why are you telling me this? They are just your competitors. How to gain a competitive advantage is something you should consider. Our Xihu company is just an equipment supplier. No matter where you are home, as long as they are willing to pay, we can provide the same equipment."

"However, they are Chinese, and your Xihu Company and our Nihon Heavy Industry are both Japanese companies. Can you sit idly by?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't make up my mind about this matter." Kono Kono shrugged like a Westerner, and said, "Please, Mr. Koizumi, such things should be considered by the bosses. I only know that if I can I have a commission for completing this business."

"You..." Koizumi Jiro really had no choice.What Kono Katsuo said was very simple. As a lower-level salesperson, he only cared about his own performance. What did he have to do with the competition between the Japanese and the Chinese?

In desperation, Jiro Koizumi had no choice but to run back to his exhibition area and pull Yoshio Saji over.Yoshio Zuozhi naturally would not negotiate with Kono Qinsheng, he directly approached the person in charge of Xihu Company, a sales director named Yongzo Matsushita.Yoshio Zuozhi and Yongzo Matsushita also have some personal relationships, so they don't need to go around too many detours when they meet.

After listening to Yoshio Saji's introduction, Matsushita Yongzo pondered for a while, called Kono Qinsheng over, and asked, "Kono-kun, what kind of equipment do the Chinese want to buy?"

"Several special welding machines for high-strength structural steel welding, they also asked us to transfer the technology of argon-rich shielded welding." Kono Qinsheng said, and at the same time reported the models of several welding machines to several people.

"These kinds of welding machines are the same type as the welding machines you ordered from us some time ago." Matsushita Yongsan said to Zuo Zhiyi with a blank face, "Zuo Zhijun, it seems that your judgment is very accurate , the Chinese also plan to develop high-pressure vessels, which may be similar to the products you are developing.”

"It's not similar, but exactly the same." Yoshio Zuozhi said, "According to what I know about them, it's not a day or two for them to covet 40 tons of large fertilizer equipment. Our main hope at present at Nihong Heavy Industry is As for the 40-ton equipment, if the Chinese produce the same equipment, with their means of competition, the price will definitely be lowered to the point where no one can make money, and we will be miserable at that time.”

"I think the Chinese should be able to make money." Yongzo Matsushita corrected.

"Yes, they can indeed earn money, their labor prices are low, and their ability to absorb other costs is better than ours. So, in the end, they will be the winners." Saji Yoshio said.

Matsushita Yongsan asked: "Zuo Zhijun, why don't you consider negotiating with the Chinese? We all form a tacit agreement on the price, so that everyone can make money. Isn't that great?"

Yoshio Zuozhi shook his head: "It's impossible. This market can be big or small, but it's also small. The ambition of the Chinese people is not to share this market equally with us, but to monopolize this market. Mr. Matsushita, in In China, there are many chemical equipment companies like those in your showroom. They are all in a state of suspension. If they have obtained these technologies and can enter the international market, they will not tolerate others sharing this market with them of."

"I understand. Then, Mr. Zuo Zhi, you have to work hard." Yongzo Matsushita patted Yoshio Zuo Zhi on the shoulder and said earnestly. After speaking, he turned around and left.

"Wait!" Zuo Zhiyixiong went crazy, and I talked about it for a long time, but the other party didn't understand why I came here.Am I here looking for a word of inspiration?Just say something to me and it's over.

"Matsushita-san, I came to you to stop the transactions between you and these Chinese people, and prevent them from obtaining these devices." Saji Yoshio said.

How could Matsushita Yongsan not know what Yoshio Zuozhi was thinking, but he had no intention of agreeing to Yoshio Zuozhi's request from the bottom of his heart.Seeing that Zuo Zhiyixiong made his words clear now, he lowered his face and said, "Mr. Zuo Zhi, I think your request is a little too much, right?"

"Communist countries cannot be allowed to obtain cutting-edge equipment. This is a matter of consensus. How can it be called too much?" Zuozhi Yoshio said.

"Well..." Yongzo Matsushita was a little embarrassed. He had just secretly signed an agreement with a Soviet, intending to export several Batumi-restricted equipment to the Soviet Union.When Zuo Zhiyixiong said this, he was terrified.

"Zuo Zhijun, these welding machines don't seem to be included in the Batumi restrictions?" Matsushita Yongzo said.

Zuozhi Yoshio simply tore off his face: "Mr. Panasonic, I know that these pieces of equipment are not included in the Batumi restrictions, but they are vital to Nihong Heavy Industry. If the Chinese get them, I dare to give them 40%. It is said that they will definitely master the [-]-ton large-scale fertilizer technology. In the final analysis, this is equivalent to your Xihu company directly helping the Chinese to defeat our Japanese companies. How can your conscience be safe as Japanese?"

Matsushita Yongsan said with a sneer, "Zuo Zhijun, I think this sentence is quite familiar."

"Familiar?"

"Yes, there was a similar article in the newspaper three years ago, which asked you fertilizer equipment manufacturers why you sold large urea equipment to the Chinese. Since the Chinese got these urea equipment, they The import of urea from Japan was greatly reduced, causing serious losses to Japanese fertilizer manufacturers. At that time, where did your conscience as the Japanese go?"

"This..." Zuo Zhiyixiong was sweating profusely.Of course he remembered this matter. In the past, China had to import a large amount of urea from Japan, and the pricing power of urea was completely in the hands of Japanese fertilizer manufacturers. In the case of foreign exchange shortage, China had to exchange a large amount of coal and oil for this urea.Later, Japanese fertilizer equipment manufacturers, including Nihong Heavy Industries, exported a large number of fertilizer production equipment to China, making China self-sufficient in urea, and Japanese fertilizer manufacturers could no longer earn huge profits.

Back then, a chemical fertilizer trader went to the chairman's office of Nihon Heavy Industries and was furious at the chairman because of this matter.Yoshio Zuozhi clearly remembered that the fertilizer dealer said loudly when he left the office of Chairman Nihong: "You will regret it!"

In just a few years, such a story happened to Nihong Heavy Industry itself.Does Nihon Heavy Industry regret it?Maybe we should regret it. If China is always just an importer of urea, how can they have the money to update equipment and challenge the hegemony of Nihong Heavy Industry?
Seeing that Yoshio Zuozhi was dumb, Matsushita Yongsan took advantage of the victory and said: "Mr. Zuo Zhi, forgive me. Nihong Heavy Industry has been reduced to the point where it has to compete with the Chinese for the market. It is entirely its own fault. It has been several years, you guys Technology development has been completely interrupted. In the early days, you were an important customer of our Xihu company and purchased a large amount of our equipment. In recent years, your equipment purchase has been greatly reduced. I heard that your chairman's interest has completely changed. In the stock and real estate markets. If you are not behind, how can the Chinese pose a threat to you?"

"Didn't we just place another large order from you?" Zuo Zhiyi said with a guilty conscience.

"Yes, if the Chinese hadn't forced you to nowhere, you probably wouldn't have thought of updating your equipment, would you?" Matsushita revealed, "I'm sorry, Zuo Zhijun, the current economic situation of our Xihu company is also No, I have no right to reject a customer who has a strong desire and ability to buy. If I reject an order from a Chinese, I think that once your Nihong company has gained a competitive advantage, it will definitely go back to its old ways and return to its old ways. On the road of progress. Please understand me, I sell equipment to the Chinese to stimulate your enterprising spirit."

Yoshio Zuozhi was so angry at what Matsushita Yongzo said that his lips trembled, it was too shameless, it was too shameless.Eizo Matsushita clearly means that he doesn't care about the life and death of Nihong Heavy Industry. If Nihong Heavy Industry is dead, Xihu can sell equipment to the Chinese, and it can also make a lot of money.In the face of profit, what is the love of compatriots?

Zuozhi Yoshio wanted to teach Matsushita Yongzo a great lesson in patriotism, but he finally failed to say it.When Nihong Company sold fertilizer equipment to the Chinese, didn't it have the same idea as Xihu Company now?He remembered the fertilizer dealer, and he uttered a deep roar to Matsushita Yongzo and Kono Qinsheng:

"You will regret it!"
