Takeo Shufu is a sales executive at Ribenzo Jiulin, and he is a technical expert at the Pinghe Power Plant.The task of the two of them on this trip was to go to the Pinghe Power Plant to detect the cracked steam turbine of the Shitai alloy and negotiate the maintenance plan with the Chinese side.Once the plan was finalized, they again informed the company to send skilled workers from Nibenzene to carry equipment for maintenance operations.

Before leaving, a senior official of Jiulin Company specifically interviewed them and explained to them the principle of negotiating with the Chinese side, that is, it is necessary to determine that the reason for the problem of equipment is that the reason for the problem is that the Japanese side does not have any responsibility in this matter.

To be honest, for this request made by the top, Muto Xiufu and the Ministry are somewhat nervous.Their own affairs know that the phenomenon of cracks and stripping of Shi Taili alloy sheet has occurred several times before, the company's technical department is on this issue of intense research and judgment, the basic conclusion is that the blade shape has a certain design defects, while the welding process of the anti-eaves also has certain problems.In the case of knowing that they have a problem, it is difficult to put the blame on the other party.

But no matter what the heart thinks, the company's requirements are not dare to violate.After the Pinghe power plant, they immediately with the technical staff of the power plant began to test the turbine, found that the cracks and stripping of the divisional alloy is very serious, most of the cracks in the root of the blade where the stress is large, if not repaired in time, will have a serious impact on the motor.

The attitude of the Chinese technicians is very polite, they made their request to Muto Xiufu and the Ministry of the People's Day, that is, they hope that the Japanese side quickly send skilled workers to carry out maintenance, as for the cost, of course, should be borne by the Japanese side, after all, this is not man-made damage, the equipment is far from fatigue and damage.

In accordance with the company's orders, Muto Xiufu refused to the Chinese request.Together with his Ministry, he and his father-in-law have pushed the blame to the Chinese side, claiming that Jiulin's products are very mature and there is absolutely no problem.According to them, Jiulin's unit has never had a similar problem in many power plant applications in Riben, so why is there a problem in China?

Abe Yue looked at the production records of the Pinghe Power Plant and found that the steam turbine had a frequent start and stop in the past year, so it attributed the cause of the problem to this point, saying that the Pinghe Power Plant used the steam turbine in this way was wrong.

Initially, Muto and Abe only argued with the Chinese side in a personal and destinyful mentality, and they felt that the reasons they put forward were difficult to stand, and the Chinese side could refute them as long as they came up with some basis.They also have the intention of finally compromising with the Chinese side and are ready to accept the result of a step back from each side, that is, China bears part of the cost, and the Japanese side bears another part of the cost, which is also the bottom line given to them by the company.

Who would have thought that after they had expressed these views, they were surprised to find that the Chinese side could not find a reason to refute them, especially after Abe Yue said some professional concepts, the other side was completely embarrassed.For example, about the SR crack sensitivity of cast steel materials, in the material science of benzene is a relatively common knowledge, and technical experts such as Ge Jiaming and Zhao Shuping and other Pinghe power plants are quite unfamiliar and completely unable to cope.

After noticing this, Muto Xiufu and the courage of the Ministry of Yue grew, and they began to realize that there was a technical difference between China and Japan, and the technicians of the Pinghe Power Plant had an instinctive admiration for the technology of Jiulin Company, even if the Ministry was talking nonsense, the other party would believe it and be intimidated by the reason why this root does not exist.

The flood season is approaching in northern China, and the leadership of the Pinghe power plant is eager to repair the generator in order to cope with future power peaks.When Ge Jiaming and Mudo Xiufu negotiated with them, they inadvertently showed this anxious mentality, and this mentality was immediately seized by Muto Hideo, and they were used to hold the Chinese side to surrender.

In the meeting in the past few days, Muto Xufu has been able to clearly feel that the Chinese attitude is softening, they are already asking about the cost of repairing the motor, it is estimated that they are ready to bear this cost.Muto Xiufu will not let go of this opportunity, he reported to the Chinese side a sky-high price, each maintenance worker from the daily benzene hourly salary is tens of thousands of yen, maintenance of the use of wire, flux and other consumption materials are also according to the highest price.

In the face of such a lion's asking price, the reaction of the Chinese personnel is conceivable.However, even with countless dissatisfaction in their hearts, the Chinese still treat them very politely, accompany them to eat every day, arrange entertainment for them, etc., which is said to be due to what is called "foreign affairs policy".Wuto Xiufu feels that he really likes China, people are stupid, bullies, and also like to face, is really the world's most lovely customers.

Today, the Chinese side once again informed them to discuss the maintenance of the matter, Li Li, the head of the power plant's biotechnology department, took a jeep from the guest house in the power plant town to take them to the power plant office building.In the past half a month, the Chinese side has sent cars to pick them up every time, and repeatedly apologized to them, saying that the car is not very good, please don't be surprised.

Mr. Muto and Mr. Abe got out of the car, bowed to the driver, and then, accompanied by Li Li, walked into the office building and headed to the conference room on the third floor.When he went up the stairs, Muto Shufu smiled and said to Li Li: "Mr. Li, do you have any new opinions on the maintenance plan we put forward?"If there is no new opinion, I think we should start working as soon as possible, and I have been in China for a long time, and this work efficiency will be criticized in our daily benzene."

"It's a shame that we have a lot of deficiencies compared to corene, and we need to learn from you."Li Li replied in Japanese.

A group of people walked into the conference room, and Muto Xiufu glanced at the participants and couldn't help but pause.Most of the people in the conference room were familiar to him, such as Zhao Shuping, Tian Feng, and some other technical personnel.The only thing he didn’t know was a young man in his early 20s who looked very spiritual.It is not surprising that ordinary meetings are held, of course, often with people unknown to Muto.But this time it was a little different, because the young man he did not know was actually sitting in the middle of the conference table, next to Zhao Shuping, the vice president of the power plant.That is to say, this young man is not an ordinary technician who usually comes to listen or provide some evidence, but an important person who is enough to be on an equal footing with Zhao Shu.

The negotiations have reached this level, and what other important people have not seen the power plant themselves?Mumbu thought to himself.

“Mr. Wuto, let’s continue to discuss today the question of liability for turbine failure.”

After Mr. Wu and Mr. Abe sat down, Mr. Zhao said, “In the previous discussions, we have clearly put forward our reasons to your company, we operate in accordance with normal operating norms, and there is no human error in operation.”Mr. Muto and Mr. Abe together with us to check the situation of the blades, you also admit that there is no human-caused damage on the blade, that is, the crack problem of the blades is the equipment itself, and your company should be responsible for maintenance, which is your after-sales responsibility.

Tian Feng served as the translation work on the venue, and he translated the words of Zhao Shuping to the two people.Miao Yufu frowned and said:

“Mr. Zhao, have we not reached a consensus on this issue in the past?”Jiulin's technology in power generation equipment manufacturing is in the world's leading level, and the steam turbines we produce cannot occur in normal use as your factory.Now the steam turbines used in your factory have such a large area of anti-corrosion cracks, apparently caused by your improper use, which my colleagues have repeatedly introduced to you.”

"Is it?"Mr. Muto just said that your company's steam turbine will not appear in the normal use of anti-corrosion cracks?"

Feng Xiaochen, who was sitting next to Zhao Shuping, spoke, and a mouth was fluent in Japanese, not only to make Muto so scared, but even everyone on this side of the power plant was quite surprised.Before this, Feng Xiaochen had already said that he knew some Japanese, otherwise it would not be possible to understand Japanese journals.But everyone did not think that his spoken language was so skilled, which sounded much more pleasant than Li Li and Tian's hard Japanese.

Wuto Xiufu did not know the intention of Feng Xiaochen, he said with a thoughtful sentence: "In the normal use of the case, individual cracks are of course inevitable, after all, the steam turbine is working in a high temperature and high humidity environment, and there is no metal material to ensure 100% strong."I mean, if there is no operational error, such a large area of cracks is impossible.”

“What do you mean by mistake?”Feng Xiaochen asked calmly.

Wuto said, “We don’t know this, I think all the colleagues of the Pinghe Power Plant should carefully check your operating procedures to see if there is any unreasonable place.”I think that Chinese counterparts may not be familiar enough with this modern equipment, and some mistakes in use are understandable.”

Feng Xiaochen smiled, he said: "Can I understand this, Mr. Wuto means that if it is a colleague of the daybenzene using these devices, this will not happen."

"I'm sorry, I think that's true."Wuto said, at the same time, his face showed some color of reserve.In the past negotiations, Ge Jiaming and Zhao Shuping felt ashamed in front of his reserve face, so they dared not say any more.

Feng Xiaochen did not seem to notice the look of Wuto Shufu, he smiled and said: "Mr. Wuto, dare to ask, if you just said, then the Chikwa power plant thing, how to explain it?"(Unfinished.)
