Enjoy a foreign life...

Sakai Qianji looked at the lv bags that her best friend carried and the branded coat she wore, and couldn't help feeling ashamed. Her family knew about her family. She fled abroad to the inspection team and stayed in Japan at all costs, which led to the then director of the Petrochemical Design Institute, Lai Yongjia, who was dismissed from his post. The picture shows the wealthy living conditions in Japan. Because she married a Japanese man who was over teenager than her, she suddenly had a refrigerator, air conditioner, large color TV, private cars, and beautiful clothes and handbags, which made her feel superior to those best friends who were still in China.

But in the past decade, the Japanese economy has stagnated. Her husband Sakai Saburo's respective companies have repeatedly cut wages, and her family's life is already a little stretched. The clothes she wears are still bought when she got married, and the fashion back then looks so rustic today.

In contrast, Lin Danyan said that the treatment of the Petrochemical Design Institute has changed drastically compared to the past. Because he is the backbone of the yard, Lin Danyan's monthly salary has reached nearly 10,000 yuan, plus various bonuses, etc., Lin Danyan's living standards are much better than those of the middle-class Japanese families. Sakai Qianji did not visit Lin Danyan's house, but she found out from other friends that the Petrochemical Design Institute has built many houses over the years. Engineers of Lin Danyan's level have at least 160 square meters in their homes, which is not the area of ​​additional basements and large balcony. Japan is a country with a large population and a small land area. The apartments in the city are as small as pigeon nests. The Sakai's house is more than 80 square meters. According to the standards of China in the 1990s, it can definitely be called a luxury house, but in 2004, it was a bit too much to see.

Sakai Qianji would not say these things in front of her best friends, and she still had to maintain her pitiful self-esteem. In the past few days in the capital, she often asked herself if she would stay in Japan and not come back. The young man who once pursued her passionately when he was in China was said to have become a unit that is full of brilliance...

These are hallucinations!

Sakai Qianji said hatefully in her heart. She selectively understood the positive news she heard from her colleagues and best friends in China as bragging, and regarded all the negative news, even if it was just the negative news that these people asked to make up for by the war, as true feelings.

Ge Tao was also with the same emotions. In this way, two fugitives with serious hearts who were fugitives who had been seriously created in the capital for a while, and returned to Japan with news that was enough to make Hiroshi Takai, Yuu Uchida and others feel very pleased. They told Yuu Uchida that the things the Chinese people made were bragging, that is, they occasionally produced some results in the laboratory, and they were still 108,000 miles away from actual application, and the Imperial Army was still invincible!

Of course, Yuuuchi Uchida would not rely entirely on the information provided by these two traitors. He also learned some information from other channels. The news he received was very chaotic, but generally most of the news tended to think that China was bragging, and only a few news showed that China did master some advanced technology. Among them, a very famous Chinese economist said with certainty that he had personally visited several Chinese equipment manufacturing companies and found that the management level of these companies was very low. Some processed machine parts were even placed outdoors and allowed to be exposed to the sun and rain, and were covered with rust.

"This reminds people of the performance of the Beiyang Navy before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. With such management level, how can you talk about becoming an industrial power?" The economist named Gao Lei commented indignantly at an academic conference.

Uchida Yu reported the investigation results to the board of directors with a half-believing and skeptical mentality. The final conclusion was that the Chinese were indeed developing coal-to-oil projects, and in some aspects, they had made better progress than Iketani Production. However, if China's manufacturing process level and management level are taken into account, Iketani Production is very sure to complete the research and development of this technology before the Chinese and take the lead in the market.

The results of that investigation were spread in a small circle, which led to Iketani's stock rising by several percentage points. No one noticed that Uchida Yu took this opportunity to sell 70% of the Iketani stock he held...

From then on, a year has passed. Just when everyone was almost completely forgetting about China's affairs, the news about China's construction of a 4 million-ton coal-to-oil device in Shanbei Province suddenly shocked everyone.

For some reason, the Chinese not only announced the start of construction of this equipment in a high-profile manner, but also sent invitations to industrial departments around the world, asking them to send people to observe the site of the equipment construction, and held several technology exhibitions to disclose many previously secret core technologies to the outside world.

Ikegai Manufacturing Institute naturally sent experts including Tian Xiongzee to understand the situation. Tian Xiongze also saw the Chinese's exquisite manufacturing technology and modern management processes on the spot. Their craftsmanship and management level were no less than that of Ikegai Manufacturing Institute. Tian Xiongze is also a knowledgeable person. He understood at a glance that the Chinese are definitely capable of completing the manufacturing and arrangement of this set of devices. Combined with the various core patents obtained by the Chinese, Tian Xiongze also knew that Ikegai Manufacturing Institute had completely lost in this competition.

"The reason for our failure is that our investment in research and development of this technology is less than $500 million, and the Chinese have invested only directly in this technology to $3 billion, which is not counting research projects that can indirectly support this technology. Indeed, Chigu Manufacturing has more technology accumulation than the Chinese and can take many detours, but even so, the impact of the six-fold difference in investment is undeniable. We have done our best, but we still lost, because we lack sufficient support."

Tian Xiongzhe also stated to the executives in the room with anger, completely losing the humble and respectful expression he used to be.

Shirato Jun opened his mouth and was about to continue refuting. Hiroshi Takai raised his hand to stop him and asked Uchida Yuu, "Uchida, can you explain to everyone. Previously, your department reported to the board of directors that it is impossible for Chinese people to complete technical research and development before Ikegaya. There is a huge gap between them and ours in terms of technology and management. But this time, Tian Xiongjun went to China for inspection and found that the situation was completely contrary to what you reported. The Chinese people already have strong craftsmanship capabilities and their management level is also very high. The wrong information you provided led to the board of directors making a wrong judgment. What explanation do you have for this?"

"I'm very sorry for this." Yuu Uchida bent his waist to a 90-degree angle and stayed for a minute. It was not until everyone began to suspect that the thing that looked like a horn ruler in front of him was not an animal but a plant, that he restored his waist to about 150 degrees and said to everyone:

"A year ago, we investigated China's research and development status in coal-to-oil technology in accordance with the requirements of the president. I once introduced the relevant investigation methods and conclusions to the board of directors. Judging from the investigation process, our work is flawless and fully complies with the standards of general business intelligence investigation. Our investigation report is still retained in the archives room, and the board of directors can hire professionals to conduct appraisals and determine whether there are any errors in our work."

This is a typical Japanese style of trashing the blame. I do things according to the norms. Every step has a theoretical basis. Every step is true and reliable, with detailed records. As for the conclusion that the conclusion is wrong, I'm sorry. It's not that I'm incompetent, but that the other party doesn't play according to common sense. What can I do?

Hiroji Takai also understands this point, and Japanese companies still pay attention to this. You do it according to the norms and do it without any mistakes. If you are unique, even if you make achievements, everyone should be picky and say that if you don’t do this, the effect will definitely be better. Over time, everyone has developed this habit, and everything follows the rules and never step beyond the line.

By the way, some people call this Japanese habit the spirit of craftsmanship…

"We are still at ease when doing things at Uchida." Hiroji Takai avoided the topic of norms and asked, "Since your investigation is perfect, but now there are completely different results from your expectations, what do you judge the reason?"

"Strategic confusion," said Yuu Uchida. "Chinese people like to engage in conspiracies, especially..., uh, especially the China Equipment Industry Company, which took the lead in organizing the research and development of coal-to-oil technology this time. Its general manager Feng Xiaochen is a very cunning person and has always liked to engage in various strategic confusion methods."

"I remember many years ago, when the Chinese were competing with us for orders for Argentina fertilizer equipment, Uchida Jun was also fooled by the Chinese?" Shiratsu Jun found another opponent and continued to mock him.

Uchida Yu knew that that was his own handle, and it was impossible not to let others mention it. He nodded reluctantly and said, "Yes, Feng Xiaochen, the one who confuses us strategically that time was Feng Xiaochen. He arranged a person to negotiate with us and asked us to provide authorization for the synthetic ammonia process. In fact, they developed a set of synthetic ammonia process based on ruthenium catalysts. This time, they repeated the same trick and provided us with false information about their low craftsmanship through various channels, with the purpose of covering up their real R&D progress."
