American TV series

Chapter 410: Whoever has the money gets it!

Time has entered 1988...

After staying in the United States for a month, when his son was one month old, Sean got on the plane again and flew east. In one month, the scientific research project was completed.

With the combined efforts of the two major manufacturing companies, the eighth-level workers alone have gathered more than 20 people. Some parts that are difficult to process can be hand-made in time, and now the prototypes have been manufactured.

Sean will bring some electronic equipment over this time to see the test flight results.

Diane Lane, who had calculated her ovulation period, and Nicole Kidman were with her. One is 22 and the other is 20. They are both still very young. Even if they have children, it will not delay their stardom.

Their families have talked privately, and it is more likely that the road to stardom will be easier. Mothers are more valuable than children, and no one in Hollywood will give them any face in the future.

Even the CEOs of the Eighth National Congress cannot treat them as ordinary celebrities!

Anyway, after considering many things, I am very motivated to have a child.

We arrived safely all the way. Dongfang has rich experience in hosting this old friend of the Chinese people, and everything was well arranged, including the women he brought with him.

Very bourgeois, very corrupt,

Very envious……

The next day, at the West Airport, Sean, accompanied by a large number of people from the East, saw the two prototypes that had been manufactured.

Apart from the general outline, Sean can't really see any difference from the original F6F.

Dongfang’s staff introduced various parameters and compared various upgraded technologies with the prototype F6F. Then came the test flight activities.

The pilots who flew the test flight were from the East, so in theory the risk was very small. After all, it was the most mature model of World War II, and modern technology was better, so there was no possibility of problems.

After sprinting on the runway for a while, the plane suddenly raised its head and shot into the sky. There was a round of applause.

At this time, Sean didn't need to worry about it. Well, in addition to understanding what the technicians shouted, he understood what technical movements he was asked to do, and other tests...

fine.

When he looked up at the new aircraft in the sky, Yang Zhengping, the person in charge of the new aircraft manufacturing of Dongfang this time, came over.

After chatting for a while, I thanked Sean for asking them to cooperate, bringing a lot of new technologies, developing the market, etc. Sean could tell at a glance that he had something else to say.

"Okay, Gong Yang, it's obvious that you are not a person suitable for rambling. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I will feel more comfortable listening to you."

"Uh..." Engineer Yang touched his nose in embarrassment. Well, he is not one of those leaders who can give unscripted speeches and talk nonsense for an hour. "Mr. Sean, when we were designing the aircraft according to your framework plan,

, I found a little problem, I don’t know..."

"Please tell me, you have to believe in the professional ethics of a capitalist. Real capitalists don't care about face or shame, as long as it is beneficial!" Sean joked with a smile.

Yang Gong laughed and then said: "We found some design flaws. Some designs can be added to the aircraft exhaust emissions, which can effectively reduce the temperature and reduce the possibility of being locked."

"This is about it." Sean smiled and shook his head, his tone was very relaxed, but his rejection was very direct, "Okay, we already know, is there anything else."

Yang Gong:???

This means you already knew about the design flaw, but why?

Orientals are reserved in their approach to things. Yang Gong was full of questions but did not ask any more questions. He could only report the matter to the senior management.

The top management couldn't figure out what was going on. After some discussion, the most likely possibility was that Sean did not take the words of the Eastern scientists seriously and made an empiricist error.

Considering that this is an old friend of the Chinese people, they have the responsibility and obligation to carefully remind them again that this matter in the future of the province will have a negative impact on the close relationship between the two parties.

The test flight was a success. When the celebration banquet was held in the evening, the senior leaders mentioned it again at the banquet table.

Sean didn't prevaricate this time. There were some things he couldn't say to the scientists, but the senior management could still communicate.

He unabashedly poured out the sales strategy he designed, and the Orientals at the wine table were completely silent...

Is this the ugly face of the legendary evil capitalist?

This smell is too strong!

What kind of spirit is it to intentionally leave design flaws just to deceive people?

Is this still the kind, friendly, honest, trustworthy, generous and cheerful Sean Rockefeller that everyone sees?

This is so damn evil capitalist!

It’s impossible to guard against it!

Against this kind of person, everyone must be 120% mentally alert!

"Why are you looking at me like this!" Sean smiled and spread his hands, "The product is here, and I didn't hide anything on purpose. If the buyer thinks there is a problem, he can raise it for technical upgrades!"

"This aircraft was designed as a low-end product for low-intensity battlefields. I won't brag about how advanced it is."

"No matter how much you spend, how many things you do, you get what you pay for. If they have enough money, I can sell them the F-14, no problem."

"As long as you have money!"

"In fact, when any product is launched, there are already second and third generations in the laboratory, but no one will launch a new product until the first-generation product becomes obsolete."

"It's like the military's technology is several generations ahead of civilian technology. It's so good, why don't you just launch it to benefit the people?"

A group of people in the East shook their heads immediately, this is absolutely not possible.

Sean spread his hands and smiled, it was the same reason.

When talking about this matter, Sean said: "Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that instead of worrying about Africans and South Americans, I think you should worry about yourselves."

Um?

This sentence made everyone present feel tense. It didn’t sound like a good thing!

"What's wrong?"

"I know that you have a lot of cooperation with Benzi and have introduced a lot of technology and equipment from Benzi." Sean squinted his eyes and said: "Most of Benzi's technology comes from the United States. Although it is obsolete technology, it is not a big problem.

The real problem is the equipment."

"In order to reduce costs and improve market competitiveness, Benzi usually likes to cut corners, make mistakes, artificial reservations or manufacturing defects. When you start using it and the production line is put into production, taking into account sunk costs and political factors, even if

It’s expensive and requires repairs.”

"What!" With one sentence, several senior executives present stood up in shock.

If someone else said this, no one would care, but Sean's status here must be taken seriously.

Even if these people at the scene have no cooperation with the book.

"Mr. Sean heard some news, and he still knows something. I hope you will inform me." The leader of the Ministry of Industry present said with a serious face.

The Ministry of Industry should not cooperate too much with this book.

"I haven't heard the news, and I don't know the specifics, but this kind of thing has happened many times in the United States, and the methods are very familiar." Sean shrugged and said, "The most basic methods are equipment price, design plan, and service fees.

They are much lower than Western countries in many aspects, and coupled with the similarities in culture, considering the cost issue, you will definitely choose them."

"Typical taking advantage of small things and suffering big losses!" Sean sneered, regardless of the Oriental's ugly face, he just continued on his own: "At that time, we only need to do some work on the vulnerable parts of the equipment to strengthen it.

Wear resistance and anti-corrosion are the second criteria, and the damage can be controlled within about a year.”

"If something breaks, it always needs to be repaired. They can make back all the little money they made from the high repair costs, and they can make a steady flow of money."

"As for explaining to you, it's easy to find. The daily start-up time is too long, which increases metal fatigue, the use is irregular, and the factory hygiene standards are not up to standard. There are many reasons."

"During maintenance, we can just prohibit you from viewing it on the grounds of technical confidentiality. After spending so much foreign exchange to buy a product, are you just doing it for some suspicion?"

"It's no use even if your technical staff are dissatisfied. For reasons of political responsibility, we can only choose to be conservative and spend more money."

Sean didn't have a single example, but everyone present was understanding, and the logic was clear once he heard it.

Besides, the person who knows the Hell Capitalist best is definitely the Hell Capitalist himself. With Sean’s identity, it will definitely happen.

And the Ministry of Industry does know that the factories below spend a lot of foreign exchange on equipment maintenance every year...

As soon as I thought of Sean's words, the leaders of the Ministry of Industry sweated on their foreheads.

At home, I was deceived by foreign businessmen, causing considerable economic losses.

"Mr. Sean, I want to know, has this kind of thing ever happened in the United States?" The person from the Ministry of Industry asked in a deep voice: "How did you solve it?"

"It's happened many times. The solution depends on who buys the equipment. There are many methods we can use that you can't use." Sean shook his head and said, "We can fall out with the footbath at any time, but you can't.

.”

"Even if you have all kinds of evidence, and it points to the little book, what can you do? Protest?" Sean curled his lips, and everyone present looked sad.

"Hey, it's just a joke, don't be angry, it's just an objective reason."

"The impact of diplomacy and economic exchanges must be considered. What's more, currently, the most convenient channel for you to introduce technology is notebooks. These shameless little bastards dare to sell anything. From a national level, these

All losses are bearable.”

"It's like crossing the river by feeling the stones. No one knows which way is correct. If you take multiple routes at the same time, these are inevitable losses. I can only say that you have never encountered them before and overestimated the power of the capitalists."

Professional ethics does not mean that internationally renowned large companies necessarily care about their reputation."

Sean is right about this. In this era, in many places, the top management adopts a strategy of disapproval, non-objection, and irresponsibility for operations in many places. No one knows how to make the right move, and it is impossible to go back just because a mistake is discovered later.

Investigate, who would dare to do anything like that?

This is also the reason why many historical problems cannot be solved in the later period. It is impossible to determine whether the process of crossing the river was subjective or passive.

"I care about reputation. I will explain the aircraft's defects in advance. In fact, buyers won't care. That's because I think my reputation is valuable."

"But the people over there at the footbath don't care about that. At worst, they can bow and apologize. If bowing doesn't work, then kneel down and apologize. If not, kneel down and kowtow together to apologize!" Sean sneered, "If they do, you have the nerve to say you won't forgive them.

?"

"This..." Everyone here looked at each other with awkward expressions. They really wanted to kneel down and kowtow. They really had no way to pursue it any further.

Killing people can only be done with a nod of the head.

"But in fact, for the script, it doesn't matter if you change it and make it again, make it again and change it. It doesn't matter. It's shameless. You have no choice." Sean spread his hands.

People at the Ministry of Industry have already thought about how things will happen.

When I go back, I just need to look up the list of cooperative companies with Japan in the past years, and then check the maintenance records, and I will know everything.

The money must have been cheated a lot, and the most hateful thing was, he bet, the little book must still be laughing at them secretly,

"Is there any way? We are old friends. Mr. Sean, you are a widely influential figure in the world. We believe that you must have a way." People from the Ministry of Industry did not believe that Sean was targeting the wrong target.

.

When you reach this status, everything you say and do is purposeful.

He didn't believe it when he suddenly remembered it.

"This..." Sean played a long tune, and everyone present brightened up. Sure enough, there was a way.

"If I say there's nothing I can do, I'm definitely lying. I'm just too lazy to take care of it, but it's for no reason. There's no reason for me to interfere in your affairs. It can't be justified, you know?" Sean looked very frank.

"Besides, if more people pay attention to my every move, the impact will be great, and it will no longer be a simple business issue."

"So, instead of talking to me here, why don't you discuss it internally first and decide whether you should cause trouble for this matter."

"To be honest, it's not convenient for me to intervene. I don't want to be thankless. If you blame me later for destroying Sino-Japanese friendship, oh, then I will be wronged." Sean smiled and looked at the people from the Ministry of Industry.

"No, no, how could we treat our old friends like this!" someone from the Ministry of Industry said quickly.

"Haha, best." Sean said haha.

The matter was over at this point, as if nothing had happened, and the two sides discussed the issue of the plane again.

A series of tests, equipment tests, weapons tests, mechanical limit tests, extreme environment tests, etc. need to be carried out later.

Aircraft cannot be finalized casually, even to hellish capitalists, even if they are sold to Lao Hei.

I, Sean, am an honest and trustworthy businessman!

Of course, in fact, Sean has nothing to worry about. The F6F is extremely mature and stable. More than 20,000 aircraft were produced during World War II, with a total flight time of more than 50 million hours.

An aircraft designed on this basis is basically unlikely to have any problems.

While Xifei was conducting continuous tests in the sky, Yanjing was also busy.

After compiling the data over the years, it turned out that there was a problem. The time when the equipment broke down was very stable, ranging from half a year to one year. The maintenance costs were very high, and Chinese personnel were not allowed to watch.

Even if it is repaired, it will be damaged again in six months or a year.

Looking at all foreign partners, Benzi's equipment damage rate is the highest, much higher than products from other countries. Although the initial investment is smaller, overall, Benzi's solution has the highest cost.

The problem now is that the industry has been put into production long ago, and the peripheral distribution is all in place. If the plan of other countries is replaced, all the past investments will be wasted, and everything will have to be started over. The time cost and silence cost are so high that it is frustrating

Awe-inspiring.

Taken together, we are now tied to this and it is impossible to go back on it!

This is an objective fact. Not to mention individuals, even at the national level, there is nothing we can do about it.

So on the basis that it is absolutely impossible to give up and start over, what to do becomes the biggest problem?

Not to mention the status of foreign masters... This matter cannot be done forever. The person who will suffer the most if it is over handled is definitely not the book, but the Chinese side.

Is it possible to injure the enemy by a hundred and injure one by a thousand?

But it won't work if we don't deal with it. I don't know whether the book will get worse. Even if other foreign companies see it, they will imitate it!

Just look at Sean and you will know that such an honest, trustworthy and professional person would intentionally leave flaws when designing a fighter jet...

That's a fighter jet, it kills people, and a lot of them die!!!

If anyone dares to do this in China, there will be hundreds of reasons to stop him!

Now it seems that anyone who has any hope in the character of capitalists is seeking death!

Therefore, from this perspective, it is not necessary to teach the book some lessons.

what to do!?

"Let's talk about the losses first, the current ones and the estimated future ones!" someone suggested.

"According to data, there are currently as many as 380 sets of problematic equipment, distributed in 18 provinces."

"Last year, the foreign exchange loss due to maintenance was as high as 280 million U.S. dollars, and this is not the end. These equipment will continue to be used in the future. In ten years, the loss will be as high as 3 billion."

"Moreover, I have seen that the current industrial development is rapid, and based on the current economic cooperation trends, this number will jump exponentially in the future."

It’s not that I don’t know, it’s just that I was shocked.

For a single factory, the annual maintenance fee is less than one million, which does not seem to be much for a large enterprise. Some of it is caused by non-human factors, but in total... it is scary!

How much are foreign exchange reserves?

(PS: Foreign exchange reserves are not equal to foreign exchange circulation. Taking 1990 as an example, exports earned US$62.09 billion, but imports were spent again, and foreign exchange reserves were a balance)

This is simply a hole in the country's body that will never heal, and blood is pouring out.

This cannot be delayed!

But the Ministry of Industry cannot come up with an effective plan.

It’s really not that everyone is shirking responsibility. This matter is really not something that the Ministry of Industry alone can handle.

The first is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, then the courts... and then there are the ideas of local governments. Don't think that they will readily accept it if you are fighting for the rights and interests of local governments.

When something breaks out, and before it is completely resolved, repairs on the damaged equipment will inevitably stop. Who will bear the losses caused by the shutdown?

What to do with workers’ wages?

What to do with production tasks?

That relationship will be a huge chain, affecting the whole body!

"This matter must be dealt with without delay." Elder Li, who came to listen to the report, decided directly. "No matter what happens, it is always right to follow the normal procedures first, and then make appropriate adjustments according to the actual situation."

Even if there is an imperial edict, the journey may not be smooth...

In any case, action was started and various information was collected, but since Chinese personnel were not allowed to watch during the maintenance, there was no real evidence.

After each repair, the damaged parts are recycled on the grounds of confidentiality of technical data.

Obviously, Benzi has rich experience in committing crimes!

The Ministry of Industry can only initiate an inquiry to Japan through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first, and at least the data is correct.

Diplomatic communication, and then to the enterprise, mainly Tuxiba, Sanlang, Sunset...

Needless to say, the result of the communication is that the Japanese side is polite but has a very firm tone. The Chinese side is spreading rumors and slanders. Their company has never done such a thing. All problems are due to China's backward production technology and poor environment.

Caused by chaotic management and rough operations.

In view of the huge reputational damage caused by China's unreasonable slander to Japanese companies, Japan requires China to make a public apology!

Good guy, if you refuse to admit it and beat me up, the Ministry of Industry will go crazy.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also unhappy. Why are you jumping out when there is no evidence? Isn't this causing trouble for their work?

Foreign trade and economics is also not good. Why did you go there earlier? Now that you have jumped out, the foreign adults are very angry now, and the consequences will be serious.

The Ministry of Industry is forced to have no choice. There are 12 equipments that are damaged and need to be repaired. This time, the Ministry of Industry requires Chinese personnel to monitor the entire process. Who is responsible must be found!

In this regard, Japan has an extremely tough attitude, saying that China is rudely slandering and trying to steal the commercial secrets of Japanese companies in this way. This is an extremely shameless and despicable act. Japan will resolutely resist and will never

Compromise, if Chinese personnel repair the equipment privately, Japan will completely refuse all future maintenance work, and China will be solely responsible for the losses caused.

To sum up, it depends on who can afford to lose whether you like to practice or not.

Being controlled by others, what can you do!

For a week in a row, the news tube in the east of this era... the news is underdeveloped, and ordinary people don't know anything, but internationally, this matter is also aroused.

After all, it is the conflict between the world's second largest economy, one of the top 100 companies in the world, and the largest country in the East, one of the five permanent members.

It is said to be a commercial collision, but everyone knows that the national political system is behind it.

What's more, after the Plaza Accord, Japan's home appliance industry is conquering the U.S. market on a large scale, causing misery to local U.S. companies.

The book is very popular now, so even though it was just a verbal confrontation, it also attracted a lot of people's attention.

What lies ahead for China is how to proceed with the subsequent procedures.

How to get evidence?

Where can I sue after I get it?

In this book, people ignore you, but in China, whether the accusation is of any use is another matter...

Things are completely frozen here and nothing can be done.

At this point, the Ministry of Industry thought of Sean again. Last time Sean said it was inconvenient to intervene, not that it was impossible to intervene.

There is no definite answer yet, but we can talk privately.

On the other side, Sean was already waiting for the Chinese to come to his door.

He had heard about this in his previous life. I remember it was in 2005. In Yanjing, he also participated in a boycott of Japanese goods, a folk demonstration, and even went to the Japanese Embassy to throw bricks...

At first, I was only focused on scolding and did not understand the inner principles.

Only with different levels in this life can I understand the difficulties faced by the Chinese top management.

Of course, this essentially has nothing to do with him, but Sean is short of money now!!

Dongbian has no money on him!

If you don’t scrape the money from the East, then who will earn it?

Whoever has the money gets it!

So who has money?

The book is rich!
