Chapter 526 Chain Reaction of Misunderstanding

Facing Yao Heliang's knowing question, Gong Nishino Yasushi sighed softly in his heart, and then replied: "I think there may be some misunderstanding between us."

"Oh, if there is a misunderstanding, it's good for everyone to talk about it. I am quite familiar with Lin Zhenhua. The young man has a good personality, but his temper is a little stubborn. Mr. Gongxi is older than him, so don't be as impulsive as him. " Yao Heliang persuaded like teaching students.

Gong Nishinoyasu had no choice but to answer honestly: "I will pay attention, thank you Professor Yao for your advice."

It is no longer necessary to inquire whether Yao Heliang knew about Lin Zhenhua's plot. Lin Zhenhua asked Yao Heliang's students to research alternative chips in large quantities at this time, which in itself was showing an attitude, telling KHN that Hanhua did not intend to compromise.It doesn't matter whether it's a conspiracy or an overt conspiracy, what matters is how Miyanishi Yeyasu responds.

After leaving the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yasushi Miyanishi went to the Department of Electronic Engineering for a turn. Not surprisingly, the Department of Electronic Engineering also received an entrustment from Hanhua two days ago, asking them to help understand the latest developments in foreign industrial control systems. , but also set up several relatively long-term industrial control system research topics.

Let's wait for a few more days, Gong Nishino Yasushi thought, it's really not possible, so he asked Yao Heliang or someone else to tell Lin Zhenhua that he was willing to renegotiate this issue with Hanhua.Maybe my previous attitude was too tough, making Lin Zhenhua, an upstart like Lin Zhenhua, feel that his self-esteem has been hurt. Lin Zhenhua must be fighting for his self-esteem.From a common sense point of view, there was no need for him to react so strongly.

Gong Nishino Yasushi returned to Yanshan Hotel worrying about gain and loss, and when he walked through the front hall, he casually asked the waiter: "Excuse me, is there a guest looking for me, or a phone call?"

"Yes, sir, there is a call for you." The waiter checked the notebook and replied.

Gong Nishino Yasushi said: "Oh, did you transfer the call to our office?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "No, this call is from your office, saying that there is something urgent to contact you."

"A call from the office?" Miyanishi Yeyasu was slightly taken aback, and after nodding his thanks to the waiter, he hurried back to his room and called Nobuko Inao, the head of KNH's Beijing office: "Hello, Ms. Nobuko?" , are you looking for me?"

"Yes, Director Miyanishi, we have a very urgent situation to report to you, and it's not convenient to talk about it on the phone." Nobuko Inao's voice was full of anxiety.

"Okay, I'll go over right away." Gong Nishino Yasushi replied.

KHN has a large sales scale in China, with dedicated sales companies in more than ten cities, and the Beijing office is the sales headquarters for the entire China region.Nobuko Inao is a Japanese woman in her 30s. She has been sent to China by the company to serve as the person in charge of the China region for several years. She is considered half a China hand.According to Miyanishi Noyasu's impression, Nobuko Inao has always been a gentle and virtuous image, rarely in a hurry.At this moment, her behavior seemed like something really happened.

There was not much traffic jam in Beijing back then. Miyanishi Yeyasu hailed a taxi and arrived at the KHN Beijing office in Jingguang Center in about 40 minutes. Nobuko Inao welcomed him into his office. , then closed the door, and asked him: "Director Gongxi, let me inquire. Has Hanhua Heavy Industry responded to you in the past two days?"

When Miyanishi Noyasu came to China to handle business, of course he would greet Nobuko Inao beforehand, so Nobuko Inao knew the mission of his trip.After Gong Nishino Yasushi met Lin Zhenhua that day, he also informed Inao Nobuko about the situation, but because Lin Zhenhua did not reply in the past two days, he did not contact Inao Nobuko either.

Hearing Nobuko Inao's question, Miyanishi Yeyasu said: "Hanhua did not give me a direct answer, but I went to Huaqing University today and learned something. Hanhua asked Huaqing University's Department of Mechanical Engineering and Electronics The engineering department has issued a request to assist in the research of similar chips from other companies, and I think this is Lin Zhenhua sending me a strong signal."

"So, how does the company plan to respond to Hanhua's signal?" Nobuko Inao asked.

Gong Nishino Yasushi said: "I analyzed it just now, and I think Hanhua's bluff is relatively large. In fact, if they really refuse to cooperate with us, it will not have a great impact on us, but it will have a greater impact on them. Lin Zhenhua He is a shrewd businessman, and he should be able to settle this account. I think he just wants to use this method to show his strength, so as to gain some weight for himself in the next negotiation."

Nobuko Inao shook her head and said, "Director Miyanishi, it seems that we underestimated Lin Zhenhua's strength too much. In addition to using Huaqing University to build momentum, he also threatened our sales headquarters in China."

"What do you mean? People from Hanhua have come to you?" Gongxi Yeyasu asked.

"It's not from Hanhua, but a beautiful lady and a man who looks like an upstart. They directly issued an ultimatum to us." Nobuko Inao said with lingering fear.

The matter started this morning. Not long after Inao Nobuko went to work, she received a report from the front desk, saying that a lady named An Yan and a man named Xiong Lijun wanted to see her, and they had very important business needs. talk to her.

Nobuko Inao asked the front desk to let them in. After a while, the two Chinese came to Nobuko Inao's office and handed her their business cards.Nobuko Inao took the business card and looked at it, only to realize that these two people really have a lot of background, one is the president of Nanjing Jiankang Home Appliances Mall, and the other is the president of Shanghai Daxiong Home Appliances Mall.Although the business of the KHN China Sales Headquarters has nothing to do with the home appliance mall, Nobuko Inao also knows that these are two large home appliance chain stores that occupy an oligopoly position in the Chinese market, and their branches have even opened overseas.

"Ms. An, Mr. Xiong, do you two come to me, do you have any advice?" Nobuko Inao asked politely. She has stayed in China for many years and speaks Chinese very well, which will not affect her relationship with the two. Chinese exchange.

The beautiful lady named An Yan smiled at Nobuko Inao, and said: "Ms. Inao, Mr. Xiong and I are here with you today. We are entrusted by some of our member companies to learn about KHN's relationship with Chinese home appliance manufacturers. Is there any new change in the policy of providing chips."

"Changes?" Nobuko Inao wondered, "We haven't made any policy changes."

"Oh, that seems to be a rumor." An Yan said, "I heard that KHN has just launched a policy that will restrict the sales of chips in the Chinese market. Our home appliance manufacturers will not be able to obtain the latest chips in time in the future. To tell you the truth, many of our member companies are very frightened by this news, and are actively contacting chip manufacturers in the United States and Italy to find alternatives.”

"The same is true for our member companies." Xiong Lijun interjected to support An Yan's words.

"We don't have such a policy." Inao Nobuko replied.

In recent years, China's home appliance industry has developed extremely rapidly, with an annual output of nearly 3000 million color TV sets, and 1000 million washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners each, and this figure is constantly being refreshed every year.In all these home appliances, integrated circuit chips or integrated modules are used, which is a very huge market. After years of hard work, KHN has occupied a considerable share in this market, with annual sales of more than 10 billion US dollars, which does not include the cost of providing services such as various circuit designs.

For such a market, it is too late for KHN to develop, so what restrictive policies will be adopted.

"Ms. An, Mr. Xiong, where did you hear this news? It's completely nonsense." Nobuko Inao replied relaxedly. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but frown slightly. Changed, looking at An Yan and Xiong Lijun's eyes also became a little flustered.

Restriction Policy!Isn't this the wind that Miyanishi Yeyasu came to China to show Hanhua Heavy Industries this time?This policy is aimed at Chinese machine tool companies, and has nothing to do with the home appliance industry. How could rumors spread to the home appliance industry?
"Why, Ms. Inao, is this news really nonsense?" An Yan sensitively sensed the fluster in the other party's eyes, and the smile on her face became sweeter. However, what she said But more aggressive.

"Ms. An, I don't understand what you mean. Our KHN company has never proposed such a restrictive policy on China's home appliance market. Our cooperation with Chinese home appliance companies is very pleasant, and it is impossible to change the policy." Inao Nobuko insisted.

An Yan said: "Oh, so the news we heard is false? The day before yesterday, when we had dinner with Chairman Lin Zhenhua of Hanhua Heavy Industry, we heard him talk about it with our own ears. He also said that your company An executive named Miyanishi Yeyasu was specially sent here to deliver the news."

As soon as these words came out, Nobuko Inao had nowhere to go.They stopped going around in circles, and directly named Lin Zhenhua and Gongxi Yeyasu.Having said that, it would be too brazen for Nobuko Inao to deny or pretend to be stupid.

"There may be some misunderstandings about what you said. Director Gongxi has indeed come to China, and he has indeed communicated with Chairman Lin Zhenhua, but there may be some misunderstandings between them. In addition, Our policy is only for industrial control chips used in CNC machine tools, and has nothing to do with chips used in home appliances, so..." Nobuko Inao hesitated.

An Yan said: "Thank you, Ms. Inao, for telling me frankly. Since your company does have such a policy, the purpose of me and Mr. Xiong coming here today will be achieved. We will issue a notice to our member companies as soon as possible to remind them to avoid Prepare early for the risk of your company's sales policy."
