Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 58 The First Pot of Gold

  In his previous life, Li Weidong relied on doing business and accumulated a worth of more than 100 million yuan. In the course of decades of hard work, Li Weidong has not never been stumbled. He has also encountered many deceptive tricks.

  For example, if you get the goods without paying the balance, fake orders to cheat quotes, get a short company to want empty gloves white wolf, and even pretend to be relatives of senior officials to cheat money, these Li Weidong have seen.

  There are too many deceptions in shopping malls, especially in the more than ten years when the private economy has just begun to rise, domestic laws and regulations are not perfect, and various deceitful routines are emerging in an endless stream.

  After experiencing so many big winds and waves, Li Weidong naturally knows the reason that the heart of defense is indispensable. When dealing with world-class large-scale transactions like Tianfeng, of course, you have to keep a hand. This kind of multinational company is not a docile little sheep.

  So at the beginning, Li Weidong did not intend to just sell an article to Tianfeng Company. He prepared a manuscript of the "Carraro Maintenance Manual" early.

Carraro is Tianfeng’s most popular model. When Li Weidong was a trainee in RB, he had repaired a lot of Carraro. He knew well about Carraro’s common faults. In addition, he had experience in compiling the JN162 repair manual at the Yellow River Plant. A hundred and ten pages of Carraro's maintenance manual could soon be written.

Of course, this "Carraro Maintenance Manual" is very rough. Tianfeng Company has so many world-class automotive engineers. Li Weidong did not expect Tianfeng Company to use this manual to repair Carraro. This manual is nothing but It is a cover for Li Weidong to collect money.

   Selling an article and selling a book are completely different in nature.

  A separate article about the accelerator pedal is targeted.

  If this article is sold to Tianfeng Company, it can be considered that Tianfeng Company has spent the hush money and shut up Li Weidong. This is equivalent to Tianfeng Company’s public relations expenses.

  From another perspective, it can be considered that Li Weidong used the accelerator pedal to have a design defect and took 25 million yen from Tianfeng Company. This is no different from extortion.

  Selling the entire book is different. The transfer of the copyright of a literary work is equivalent to charging a manuscript fee, which is completely legal.

  As for the article about the accelerator pedal failure, it became part of the book content and was not targeted.

  Writing a book about repairing cars, some of the content is to introduce the cause of a certain failure, which is equivalent to introducing the cause of the disease in medical books and introducing theorems in mathematics books, which is a matter of course.

  This is like a paparazzi taking a photo of a celebrity cheating, and then taking the photo to find the celebrity for money, it is obviously an act of extortion.

  And if this paparazzi publishes a book on photography skills, and "inadvertently" puts the celebrity's derailed photos as an example, at most it is an infringement of the celebrity's portrait rights, and cannot be regarded as extortion.

  It can be said that Li Weidong used this method to turn the 25 million yen into legal income, at least nominally legal, and at the same time put an end to Tianfeng’s troubles.

Masayuki Kato did not expect that Li Weidong would have such a small trick. When he saw the "Literary Works Transfer Authorization Agreement" and the manuscript of the "Carraro Maintenance Manual", he knew that the subsequent methods to deal with Li Weidong had been It's completely useless.

  The article on accelerator pedal failure is only part of the Carraro Repair Manual. It is legal to publish a book on car repair in any country.

  Tianfeng Company can’t just sue Li Weidong for extortion because the reason for the failure is analyzed in the maintenance manual. It is normal to analyze the cause of the failure in the car maintenance manual!

After understanding this point, Masayuki Kato was extremely unwilling to sign the "Literature Works Transfer Authorization Agreement". Once the contract was signed, it would be useless to report to the police and seek pressure from the embassy. Li Weidong's 25 million days Yuan was also washed away in an instant.

  Li Weidong’s attitude is very clear. If he does not sign this "Literature Works Transfer Authorization Agreement," Li Weidong will not make a deal with Feng Tian. Especially when Li Weidong mentioned the words "extortion", Masayuki Kato had realized that Minister Xiang Shan's plan had failed.

  "What to do? Sign or not? If you don't sign, there will be no way to seal Li Weidong's mouth. If you can sign, how should you explain to Minister Xiangshan!" Masayuki Kato fell into conflict.

Li Weidong seemed to see Kato's concerns. He said, "Mr. Kato, for Tianfeng Company, 25 million yen is just a drop in the bucket. You can buy the copyright of a Carraro maintenance manual for 25 million yen. It is definitely worth the money, and Tianfeng is not losing money in this transaction."

  Masao Kato was silent, but he also knew that he paid 25 million yen for the gas pedal failure to settle the matter, and Tian Feng did not lose money.

  You can give out 25 million yen for nothing, and I feel terrified in my heart!

Li Weidong continued to persuade: "Mr. Kato, no matter what instructions your boss gives you, you are the person who executes this matter. If you have successfully completed the work that belongs to you, you may not be rewarded, but At least you won’t be punished, but if you screw it up..."

  Li Weidong smiled deliberately, and then said: “I’ve heard a sentence that describes RB’s workplace most appropriately. The subordinate’s credit is the superior’s, and the boss’s fault is the subordinate’s fault!”

  Kato Masayuki's body shook suddenly, and the famous quote in "Hansawa Naoki" instantly made Kato Masayuki feel the resonance.

In the workplace culture of   RB, the middle level of the company is the receiver of the airbag and the back-to-back man. As a workplace veteran in his early forties, Masayuki Kato empathizes with this.

"Li Weidong is right. Although Minister Xiang Shan has given instructions, the specific executor is me. If things are done, Li Sang is really sent to prison, and Minister Xiang Shan can go to the executive to ask for credit; but if it does. It's smashed, the accelerator pedal incident is exposed, and Minister Xiang Shan will definitely let me back the pot!"

  Thinking of this, Masayuki Kato finally made a decision.

   "Li Sang, bring the contract, I want to read it carefully!" Kato Masayuki said.

  Li Weidong handed the contract to Masayuki Kato, and said at the same time: "Mr. Kato, if you feel that signing this contract is difficult for you to explain, I can provide you with a message for you to go back and explain."

   "What information?" Masayuki Kato asked immediately.

   "Mr. Kato, in fact, Jinmen Automobile Factory has no intention to establish a joint venture with Tianfeng Automobile. You are just a waste of time to investigate here." Li Weidong said.

   "Why do you say that? I saw the officials of your foreign trade department, and I hope to facilitate this cooperation." Kato asked, puzzled.

  Li Weidong did not answer, instead handed the pen to Masayuki Kato.

  For this purpose, Masayuki Kato can't sign without signing.

  So Masayuki Kato signed his name on the contract, and Li Weidong also accepted the three bank notes.

  25 million yen got in hand, and finally got the first pot of gold, Li Weidong felt very happy.

   "Li Sang, can you tell me the truth now?" Kato Masao asked.

   "Of course the foreign trade department hopes to cooperate with Tianfeng Automobile, but Jinmen Automobile Factory is not willing. Mr. Kato, you must know that the foreign trade department does not have the jurisdiction of Jinmen Automobile Factory." Li Weidong replied.

   "What the **** is going on? Li Sang, please tell me the truth. Please." Kato Masao said, he was about to bow to Li Weidong.

  Li Weidong didn’t stop Masao Kato's etiquette. After Masao Kato finished bowing, Li Weidong said, "Mr. Kato, you should know that Jinmen Motors has cooperated with Osaka Daihatsu Motors to introduce a K-car, right?"

  The K-car in Li Weidong’s mouth refers to the Daihatsu van. This kind of light van is called K-car in RB.

  Masao Kato nodded, indicating that he knew about the Daihatsu van.

  Li Weidong continued: “Have Mr. Kato ever heard that Daihatsu has a model called Charade?”
