Chapter eight hundred and eighty third Uchida You come to the door
Yuuchi Uchida's business sensitivity is unparalleled. After the news of the Japanese manufacturing explosion reached the UK, Larman no longer mentioned cooperation with the Japanese. Instead, he agreed to Ruiz and others and accepted the views of China Nuclear Power Company as the general contractor of the Sink Point Nuclear Power Plant. Of course, such a large project cannot be obtained by a Chinese nuclear power company alone. Many sub-projects in the project need to be subcontracted to other companies to complete, including both Chinese equipment manufacturers and manufacturers in the United States, France, Germany and other countries.
After confirming that he had no chance with the Sink Point Nuclear Power Plant, Uchida Yu led the team of Sanli Steel Institute to leave. This trip to Sanli Steel Institute was not fruitless. Considering the technical accumulation of Sanli Steel Institute, the UK proposed to China Nuclear Power Company that it hoped to subcontract about 10% of the business in the project to Sanli Steel Institute to complete so as to gain its strengths and make up for the Chinese side's shortcomings.
Before leaving, Yuu Uchida came to the hotel where the Chinese team stayed alone, and asked to meet Feng Xiaochen by name.
"What? Uchida Yuuki wants to see me?"
When Feng Lintao heard the news to him, Feng Xiaochen couldn't believe his ears.
"Brother, do you see him?" Feng Lintao asked. To be honest, Feng Lintao was far more surprised at Uchida Yu's request to meet Feng Xiaochen than Feng Xiaochen. With his emotional intelligence as a straight man in science and engineering, he really couldn't understand why a loser wanted to meet his competitor. According to Feng Xiaochen, he had fought Uchida Yu for nearly 30 years. Shouldn't both sides have a deep hatred?
Feng Xiaochen thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Since someone comes to the door in person, I must see him. I can roughly guess what he wants to say to me. The Japanese are also quite interesting. They don't talk about any affection during the struggle, and they want to kill their opponents. After failure, they can adjust their mentality immediately. As prisoners of war, they can become the most disciplined prisoners of war in the world. No wonder Europeans say that Japanese are economic animals."
When Feng Xiaochen heard that Feng Xiaochen agreed to meet Uchida Yu, Feng Lintao immediately called his assistant and asked him to rent a small conference room in the hotel to arrange for Feng Xiaochen to meet Uchida Yu. Feng Xiaochen has a good Japanese skills and does not need to be invited to translate when meeting Uchida Yu. Given that Uchida Yu was alone, Feng Xiaochen also rejected Feng Lintao's suggestion to arrange an assistant for him, and he also went to meet Uchida Yu alone. He didn't have to worry about being angry after Uchida Yu's failure and retaliation against him. Uchida Yu is already over 60 years old. If you really want to fight alone, Feng Xiaochen will definitely not lose to him.
"Mr. Uchida, long time no see."
Seeing Uchida Yu walking into the conference room, Feng Xiaochen stood up, took the initiative to step forward, and reached out to Uchida Yu. Seeing this, Uchida Yu took two steps, reached out and held Feng Xiaochen, then bowed deeply to him, replied with a few greetings, and made a set of Japanese etiquette perfectly.
After the courtesy, both sides sat down separately. Feng Xiaochen didn't know what Yuuchi Uchida saw his purpose, so he didn't rush to speak. He just smiled slightly and waited for Yuuchi Uchida to speak.
"First of all, please allow me to congratulate you, congratulations on your acquisition of the general contracting rights of the Sink Point Nuclear Power Plant." Uchida Yu spoke up very routinely.
Feng Xiaochen said: "Thank you for your congratulations by Mr. Uchida. As far as I know, the British side also appreciates the technology of Sanli Steel Institute. When signing a contract with China Nuclear Power Company, it was specifically required that the nuclear power company entrust no less than 10% of its business to Sanli to complete. In the future, both of us will be partners in this project, and I hope both of us can cooperate happily."
"I hope so too," said Yuu Uchida. "But I'm afraid I can't see the cooperation between the two sides."
"Why..." Feng Xiaochen was stunned. Uchida Yu's words seemed a bit terrible. Could it be that my old man planned to apologize because of the failed bid? Isn't this ancient custom extinction in Japan?
Yu Uchida didn't expect Feng Xiaochen to have such a brainstorm. He said calmly: "This time I led the team to the UK to bid is my last effort in my career. Whether it is success or failure, I will retire after returning to China. I originally hoped that this negotiation would bring a perfect end to my career, but unfortunately, I failed in the end."
So that's it...
Feng Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief and then politely comforted him: "Mr. Uchida, the success or failure of a negotiation cannot be explained. After all, there are many factors that determine the success or failure of a commercial negotiation, and some of them cannot be reversed by manpower. Mr. Uchida is a senior in the equipment manufacturing industry, and your abilities and achievements are obvious to all."
"Thank you for your praise," said Uchida Yu. "However, I knew it was impossible to do this negotiation, and wanted to reverse Sanli's disadvantages through my own efforts. Now it seems that I am still too arrogant. The gap between Sanli and China's nuclear power companies cannot be compensated by my efforts. In fact, this is also the gap between Japan and China. Since China's GDP exceeded Japan two years ago, I should know that the Japanese century in Asia has ended, and the future overlord of Asia is the Chinese."
"Japan's per capita GDP is still far more than China, and China still has a lot of things to learn from Japan." Feng Xiaochen said. His words were not against his will. Even though China is making full efforts and surpassing Japan in total GDP, Japan is an old industrial and technological powerhouse after all, and still has an advantage that China cannot match in many fields. This time, the State Nuclear Power Company won the Sink Point Nuclear Power Plant project, but many of the key equipment may have to be introduced from Japan. The British side asked the nuclear power company to subcontract no less than 10% of its business to Sanli, which was also attracted by the large number of core technologies that Sanli owned.
"Japan's advantage could have been maintained for a longer period of time. If it weren't for the short-sightedness of the Japanese government and enterprises, it would not have fallen to the current stage." Uchida Yu sighed and saw that Feng Xiaochen had the intention of interrupting, he waved his hand and stopped Feng Xiaochen and said, "This topic should be left to historians to discuss. Mr. Feng, I came to visit today, because there is a private matter, and I want to ask Mr. Feng for help."
"Oh? What kind of personal matter is it?" Feng Xiaochen was a little puzzled. He couldn't think of any private matters that Uchida Yu could need to ask him for help. Why did Uchida Yu feel that his friendship with Feng Xiaochen was so good that Feng Xiaochen was willing to help.
Yuuchi Uchida said: "What I want to say is very simple, and I think Mr. Feng may be interested. I want to ask Mr. Feng to come forward to acquire Iketani Products."
"Acquiring Iketani Production!" Feng Xiaochen was really surprised this time, "Mr. Uchida, has Iketani Production been merged by Sanli Steel Institute? Is there Iketani Production still there?"
Yuuchi Uchida nodded and said, "Iketani Production is indeed merged by Sanli, but its business is still independent and can be separated from Sanli's overall business system. At that time, Sanli merged Iketani Production in order to obtain the technology of Iketani Production in high-voltage containers so as to apply it to third-generation nuclear power equipment. Now all nuclear power projects in Japan have been shelved, and the Sinke Point Nuclear Power Plant project is Sanli's last life-saving straw.
Our failed bid this time means that Sanli's third-generation nuclear power strategy has completely gone bankrupt, and the billions of dollars invested by Sanli in the early stage have disappeared. I estimate that Sanli will divest the original Chigu Manufacturing assets for sale in order to make up for the losses. I hope Mr. Feng can organize Chinese chemical equipment companies to take over."
Speaking of this, he stopped, looked at Feng Xiaochen expressionlessly, waiting for him to express his opinion.
After a brief shock, Feng Xiaochen understood what Uchida Yu meant. After listening to Uchida Yu's story quietly, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he looked at the other party with the same expression as Uchida Yu, as if he wanted Uchida Yu to continue speaking.
The two of them stared at each other for two minutes. Yuuuchi showed a self-deprecating expression on his face and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng, I understand what you mean. Do you want to say that Iketani Production is now a betrayal dog? I came to ask you to buy it, which is a bit too self-righteous."
Feng Xiaochen also smiled, partly accepting Yuu Uchida's self-evaluation. He said: "Mr. Uchida, Improperly, the interactions between our two sides in the past 20 years do not seem to be pleasant. Iketani Production, especially Iketani Production, represented by Mr. Uchida, have always used China Equipment Industry Corporation as a competitor. In several battles between us, Mr. Uchida's team can be said to be doing everything. It is not an exaggeration to say that the other party is our mortal enemy, right?"
"That's true." Yuuchi nodded.
"Iketani Manufacturing Office lost to a Chinese company in the coal chemical project, and then joined Sanli Steel Factory. The driving force behind this should be Mr. Uchida, right?"
"I don't deny it."
"At that time, Mr. Uchida's idea should be to continue to compete with Chinese companies with the power of Sanli. Especially this time, the bidding for the Sink Point nuclear power plant, the articles in the British media that slandered Chinese manufacturing should also be from Mr. Uchida."
"Those articles were not written by me, but I paid for the British journalist to write them." Yuuchi Uchida was very bachelor and admitted it directly.
Feng Xiaochen said: "We have fought to this extent. Now that Sanli is defeated, it is equivalent to Chigu's defeat. But you came to the door and suggested that I buy Chigu so that I can give Chigu a way out. Do you think I will agree?"
