Worrying is Unnecessary
Chapter 242:Worrying is Unnecessary
During the showdown between Feng and Deng Zongbai, there was also a fierce debate in the office of the Japan Chemical Equipment Association.
“The Chinese are blackmailing, and I don’t believe they will refuse to buy our equipment.”
Speaking is the vice president of Japan's Akiji Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd., is a 50-year-old rough man, full of flesh, temper impetuous.
Just now, Qianguiwuzhi informed everyone about the situation he had learned, saying that the Chinese delegation put forward a requirement to require the Japanese to transfer relevant technologies as a condition for the introduction of a complete set of fertilizer equipment.If the Japanese side fails to accept this condition, the Chinese side will abandon the procurement plan this time.Hearing this, several Japanese chemical equipment manufacturers who were invited to discuss countermeasures were eager, and Mininlongji was the highest.
The chairman of the Senmao Iron Works, Kawaguchi, was a little older, and he smiled at Minnelongji and said, “Minejun, don’t worry, I think we still carefully analyze the intentions of the Chinese people as well, and don’t jump in conclusion.”
“Their intention is very clear, and that is to learn our production techniques so that one day they can be replaced.”Minironghi said.
"I think this worry from Minnejun is superfluous, the Chinese technology level compared to ours, a century, we do not have to worry about them can replace us."Ikeda, the sales director of Ikegu Productions, said that the tone of his speech, like his name, was slow and full of arrogance.Of course, everyone knows that his arrogance did not come against their peers, but for the Chinese delegation that visited their factories these days.
Kawaguchi shook his head and said, “I don’t mean this, I mean, the message they conveyed to the governor is true or false.”If we refuse to transfer technology to them, will they really abandon this purchase.”
Qian Guiwuzhi said, “I feel that there is more than 80% chance that it is true.”I spoke to Zheng Bin seriously, and I could feel that he was under pressure from the upper officials.According to him, the matter concerning the acquisition of technology from Japan has been included in the Chinese government's work plan, which, in the Chinese's words, is a political task.”
“If that is the case, then their determination will be very large.”Uchida, seeing that several colleagues did not react, he began to play tricks on his understanding of China, "You know, China is a very political country."If there is one thing that is linked to politics, its importance cannot be overestimated in any way.I have also heard of what the chairman of the board said, and it is said that the Chinese government has launched a major plan for independent research and development of equipment, and fertilizer equipment is also one of the goals they coveted.”
"If that's the case, then we can't let them succeed."“If they master the technology of the big fertilizer equipment, we will lose the huge market of China.”
“But if that happens, they will cancel this purchase and we will still lose the market.”Uchida retorted.
Minilonji said: “How can they cancel the purchase?”Do they not need fertilizer?”
Qian Guiwuzhi sighed and said, "President Mini, don't forget that the entire Western world is not the only one country in Japan that can produce large fertilizer equipment."A few years ago, China introduced 13 large fertilizer sets, and only two sets of large fertilizer equipment were purchased from Japan, and they preferred to purchase equipment from France, the Netherlands and the United States.”
“Our equipment, obviously cheaper, can’t afford not to take that into account.”Minnelongi, this time, his voice was smaller and looked a little lacking.
“Is price really the most important factor they’re thinking about?”Kawaguchi asked.
Just now, Uchida has said that the Chinese people's political requirements are far more than economic requirements, and if the Chinese carry some political pressure in this matter, then the price is indeed not the most important factor they consider.
Uchida said: "President Minie, chairman of Kawaguchi, I want to ask a question.If we promise to transfer big fertilizer technology to the Chinese and give them a manufacturing license, how long will it take them to reach our level?”
“You mean to meet our level?”Kawaguchi asked.
Uchida shook his head: “No, I just said that they have reached our level now.”As to how much we have developed since then, it is not within my consideration.”
Kawaguchi thought about it and said, “From what I know about Chinese companies, it will take them about 15 to 20 years to reach our level today.”
"If you take into account the quality of the product, I think this time is longer, at least 20 to 30 years."Good Japanese manufacturing standards are hard to learn for the Chinese.”Minironghi said.
“Mr. President, what do you think?”Uchida asked again to Qian Guiwuzhi.
Qian Guiwuzhi sighed for a while and said, “I am afraid it is difficult for me to answer this question.”I think that with the situation in China today, it may be difficult to reach our current level in 20 years.But on the other hand, I also think that the Chinese people should not be underestimated, they have created many miracles.”
“If that’s the case, then what’s the problem with it, then we’re going to give you the technology?”Uchida said easily, "In 20 years, we have developed a new generation of technology, and we can still maintain the technological advantage of the Chinese people."In these 20 years, we will occupy the fertilizer equipment market in China.This is an agricultural country with a billion people, and their demand for fertilizer is very large.”
"I don't think it's that optimistic."Minironghi frowned, "That's how we got the manufacturing technology of large chemical plants from the Americans, and today, Americans have a hard time competing with us in this field."If we nurture China as an adversary now, in a few decades they may become our mortal enemy.”
"I haven't finished yet."Uchida interrupted Minienlongji with a smile, saying: "We can promise their conditions, but we should make some adjustments in our supply strategy."We can reduce the price of large fertilizer equipment, such as reducing the price by 5% or even 10%.At the same time, we need to raise the cost of technology transfer and make them feel that they are far less manufacturing than full imports.
Once their officials have this idea, then even if they introduce our technology for political reasons, there will certainly be some discounts on digestion and absorption.In this way, the 20 or 30 years we expect may be delayed longer, say 50 years.Think about it, if China had mastered the technology we have today after 50 years, what need we have to worry about their competition?
“That makes sense!”Minnelongji and Kawabata Hiraki praised each other, and they found that their previous fears were indeed out of the way.China is a country far behind Japan in industry, even if the country gets Japanese technology, how much can it turn it into its own technology?The so-called introduction of technology, but the Chinese out of a great national conditions and to find a step for themselves, if the introduction of technology can form their own technology, then the world will still have the concept of developing countries?
Qiangui Wuzhi is called the vice chairman of the Chemical Equipment Association, in fact, is just a senior intermediary.From his point of view, it is the most important thing to be able to promote this purchase this time, and as for things like technology transfer, companies think about it.Hearing that the representatives of several manufacturers reached an agreement, Qian Guiwuzhi was very happy and immediately gave this information back to the Chinese delegation.
"The price of complete sets of equipment, the increase in technology transfer fees ... huh, the little Japanese a good arh."
Get the feedback of Qiangui Wuzhi's news, Feng Xiaochen chuckled.The Japanese play this kind of thing is too much, so much that people can see through it at a glance.Of course, this hand is indeed very toxic, it will make the Chinese feel better than buying, since there is such a cheap set of equipment in the market, and their own introduction of technology to manufacture need to pay a high cost, then the choice of direct introduction is not the right thing to do?
Even if enterprises such as Xinyang divina machines really introduce technology, high technology transfer fees will be distributed to the product, and eventually the cost of equipment will be increased, and eventually the price of imported equipment is cheaper than domestic equipment.Then Xinyang dihua machine products want to sell, there is only a loss to earn money this way out, from the enterprise side, certainly will not choose this result.
"The cost of introducing technology is too high, and it's not good for us."Wang Shicheng reminded Feng Xiaochen.
Feng Xiaochen said: "Director Wang, there is a saying in Go, called 'the main point of the enemy is my point', the Japanese are so worried about our introduction of technology, it shows the need for us to introduce technology."They hope that we will give up this field and continue to purchase complete sets of equipment from Japan in the future.And all we have to do is break this monopoly and use our own equipment to implement import substitution.In this process, we will certainly have to pay some costs.Compared to the development of these technologies from scratch, the cost of introduction is still very low.”
"You have some reasons, I think, the country to launch a major equipment localization plan, but also take this into account."Wang Shicheng said, "But, Xiao Feng, I heard that the director of Deng Factory threatened not to take this porcelain alive, can we still introduce technology as usual?"
“Of course it can!”Feng Xiaochen said, “Dead butcher, do not eat pig.”Domestic not only Xinyang dihua machine this enterprise can produce large fertilizer equipment, we can engage in a fertilizer equipment conference war, focus the strength of the whole country, eat this technology, so that Japan's dream into a bubble."
