Chapter 569 Because I know what I said is true!

After hearing Kota Iketani's quotation, Cao Zhiqiang just smiled lightly.

"I think it was Section Chief Ikegaya who was joking. Six million US dollars, how dare you to speak so loudly? Do you really think I don't know the market? Or do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Well, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't understand the market. After all, he has never been in this industry either in his previous life or in this life, so he doesn't know that market prices are normal.

Although he didn't know the real market price, he knew the Japanese people's nature when talking about business.

In his previous life, he graduated with an English major, so when he just graduated, he went to work in a trading company under the arrangement of the school.

Although due to his personality, he did not work in that trading company for too long, he gained a lot of work experience and listened to many seniors talk about the characteristics of businessmen from various countries. He even received a Japanese customer once.

So Cao Zhiqiang knows that when discussing business, Japanese people like to put on airs. One of their characteristics is that they like to say a very high price from the beginning, which is far higher than the going price.

If you don't understand the market price, that's fine, it can kill you, but if you understand the price, they will go down bit by bit.

Moreover, according to Cao Zhiqiang’s experience, when Japanese people talk about business, the initial price they offer is usually about twice as high as the normal market price, so it is absolutely right to bargain.

However, if you haggle over the price, it is a new product. For this kind of second-hand production line, you have to haggle even harder.

Sure enough, after hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Ikeda Kota frowned, and then continued with a professional smile: "Well, Cao Sang, the quality of our production lines is different, and the technical level is higher, so it is normal for the price to be higher.

.

Of course, if we can facilitate this transaction, we will definitely show some respect to you personally and guarantee your satisfaction."

Upon hearing that the other party started to openly hint that bribery was possible, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head directly and sighed: "Mr. Chigu, although I love money, a gentleman loves money in a proper way. I will earn the money myself if I want it, but absolutely."

Not doing this kind of thing of giving and accepting bribes would not only be betraying the country and the company, but also insulting my character."

After hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Ikeda Kouta immediately stood up, bowed nearly ninety degrees to Cao Zhiqiang, and then said seriously: "I'm sorry, Cao Sang, I was rude. You are a respectable person. I shouldn't use this word."

There is no way to talk to you. Here, I solemnly apologize to you."

After saying that, Ikeda Kota bowed again, and his subordinates also reacted at this time and quickly stood up and followed with an almost ninety-degree bow.

If anyone else saw him like this, he might be very moved, but Cao Zhiqiang, who knew the virtues of Japanese businessmen, smiled and didn't take it to heart at all. He just calmly pressed his hand: "Okay.

Okay, let’s sit down and talk, don’t waste time.”

Upon hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Ikeda Kota and his subordinates sat down again, but they all sat upright and behaved with respect.

Seeing their pretentious looks, Cao Zhiqiang secretly smiled, and then continued calmly:

"Mr. Ikeda, I know that our country has been closed for too long and is a little out of touch with the outside world. You may think that our people don't understand the market situation of related equipment in Japan because of this.

In addition, you are a small company and you are more pursuing real money, so the lion opened his mouth and wanted to take the opportunity to kill us.

Frankly speaking, although I don’t agree with this kind of thing, I understand it.”

Just hearing this, Ikeda Kota quickly wanted to explain: "No, Cao Sang, I..."

"Listen to what I have to say!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand.

Seeing that Kota Iketani was silent, Cao Zhiqiang continued calmly: "Mr. Iketani, I just read the information. In fact, although your two production lines are second-hand, this is not a problem. The problem is your technical indicators.

There are some false claims and this cannot be tolerated."

"How is that possible!" Takaguchi Shu who was next to Iketani Kota couldn't help but said, "You can say that our equipment is old, or you can say that the price is a bit expensive, but you can never say that our technical indicators are inflated and fraudulent. Our Japanese companies are absolutely

We won’t do such a thing! Our company will never do such a thing!”

"Takaguchi-kun!" Kota Iketani quickly turned around and scolded Takaguchi, "Shut up, you have no right to speak here!"

"Senior!" Gao Koushu was a little angry, "But he..."

"Shut up!" Kouta Iketani scolded him sternly again.

After reprimanding Takaguchi, Ikeda Kouta smiled and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Cao Sang, my subordinate has just arrived and is too young. He contradicted you on impulse. Please bear with me."

After another gentle half-bow to Cao Zhiqiang, Ikeda Kouta raised his head and said: "However, some of what he said is right. Our Japanese companies have always been rigorous and will never falsify technical indicators, and we, Taiyo Lure,

Electricians will never do this kind of thing. Once they do it, they will not be able to stand up in front of their peers and the business will not be successful.

So, even if you want to bargain with me, please don't do it in this way, it is also an insult to us."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "Do you think I don't understand anything? Yes, you Japan are very good at publicity, and you promote your craftsmanship and rigorous style in various ways. I admit that your publicity is very powerful.

But just because the propaganda is great doesn’t mean it’s actually what it is.

In terms of technical indicators, you may be able to fool others, but you definitely can’t fool me.”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang shook the document in his hand and said, "Although I haven't seen the real thing yet, I absolutely believe that the technical parameters in your information must be full of moisture and must be fraudulent.

Because falsifying technical indicators is not something your company is doing, but is the behavior of your entire industry.

As far as I know, in all manufacturing industries in Japan, the technical indicators have water content, which is nothing more than the amount of water content.

Therefore, in view of the bad habits of your entire industry, I am 80% certain that the technical parameters in the information you gave me are fraudulent!"

Upon hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Ikegaya Yuta became serious: "Cao Sang, you are making a very serious accusation. Are you sure you insist on saying this and will not take it back?"

"Of course I insist." Cao Zhiqiang sneered, "because I know what I said is true!"

Indeed, people in this era may really be frightened by the superficial skills created by Japan, but this cannot frighten Cao Zhiqiang.

In fact, Japan's counterfeiting is a real state behavior, not a behavior of a certain industry, let alone a behavior of a certain company.

According to Cao Zhiqiang’s knowledge on the Internet in his previous life, Japan began to inject water into various technical indicators as early as the 1970s in order to increase its competitiveness and highlight the excellence of Japanese manufacturing.

But in fact, even in the 1980s, the first echelon of real manufacturing powers was still the United States, the second echelon was the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom, and Japan was at the bottom of the second echelon at best, and more often in the third echelon.

.

The reason is also very simple. Manufacturing requires accumulation and cannot be achieved overnight.

During World War II, Japan's domestic manufacturing industry was at the bottom of the list among the major industrial countries participating in the war. What's more, it was a defeated country and its industrial strength was severely damaged.

Of course, except China, after all, China at that time was strictly an agricultural country, not an industrial country.

Although during the Korean War, Japan took over a lot of production capacity transferred from the United States, and because of its long-term focus on education and research and development, coupled with low military expenditures, its manufacturing industry did develop rapidly.

But after all, the accumulation was not enough and the time was too short. Compared with the United States and Western Europe, Japan's industrial strength still lags behind.

But Japan misplaces competition and is very good at publicity, and it uses a nationwide propaganda system, which is very powerful.

For example, Japanese machine tools.

In fact, in the real high-precision field, Japanese machine tools are currently not as good as those of countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, so they take the mid- to low-end route and develop mid- to low-end machine tools first, and greatly reduce the price, focusing on high-quality and low-price machines.

.

To put it bluntly, Japan followed the path that China later followed.

Once Japan became a big success with its mid- to low-end machine tools, it began to promote various kinds of propaganda, such as craftsmanship and rigorous work style, which could confuse a bunch of laymen.

After all, most of the high-precision fields involve military industry, and most of them are classified units that do not make much publicity. They are civilian equipment that ordinary people can have access to, that is, mid- to low-end industrial equipment.

Therefore, after being blown away by Japan, some laymen actually believed it. For example, there was a period of time when China was very superstitious about Japan.

But in fact, manufacturing in Japan is an industry-wide fraud.

If I remember wrongly, the entire industry, not only traditional industrial fields such as steel manufacturing, but also their traditional agricultural fields, is also engaging in fraud.

In the traditional industrial fields, such as steel indicators and mechanical indicators, they are all industry-wide fraud. Many countries have suffered from this. For example, China was once deceived. It really thought that Japanese products were good, but ended up buying them.

After testing, I found out that they were all false and false.

As for the agricultural field, this is even more true.

I have to say that Japan’s agricultural scientific research technology is indeed worthy of admiration. It is true that many agricultural product varieties in later generations are actually Japanese technology.

The problem is that scientific research varieties and actual production are two different things.

Due to objective reasons such as the small area of ​​cultivated land, Japan is actually not suitable for large-scale agricultural production. Even if all the land suitable for cultivation in Japan is used to grow food, it will not be enough to feed the people, let alone eat well.

Therefore, Japan's food self-sufficiency rate has never been high. Even in the 1980s, the food self-sufficiency rate was not even 35%. A large amount of food must be imported from outside every year to keep the people from going hungry.

Since this is the case, and after World War II, Japan established a monopoly farmers' association in order to protect agriculture, Japan has changed its thinking, exporting high-priced agricultural products from Japan to make money, and then importing low-priced agricultural products.

If you want to sell agricultural products for export at a high price, you have to make people accept it. Otherwise, why would people buy your high-priced goods?

Therefore, in order to sell Japanese agricultural products at high prices, we must highlight the quality. How to highlight it? Naturally, it depends on publicity.

How to promote it is nothing more than writing soft articles everywhere, such as highlighting that Japanese agricultural products do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and have always maintained traditional farming, making them greener and healthier.

This kind of propaganda began on a large scale as early as the 1970s, and it was not just the 1990s.

It is undeniable that in Japan, there may indeed be individual farmers who still maintain traditional farming traditions, but they are a very small number.

Anyone who has ever done farm work knows that no matter what you plant, as long as you want to pursue quality and yield, you must use both chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Otherwise, the yield will be low and the quality will be poor. There are absolutely no exceptions.

For example, if you grow cucumbers at home without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers, you will know by looking at how thin the cucumbers grow. You will never grow thick, green, and tender cucumbers.

Others, including grains, fruits and vegetables, are all the same. If you want to produce large quantities and good quality, you must use chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

In fact, Japanese agricultural products use pesticides and chemical fertilizers on a large scale, no less than those in developed countries such as the United States, but they shamelessly boast that their agricultural products do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

The result is that Japanese agricultural products relied on such bragging and fraud to fool the United States and other Western countries. However, in the mid-to-late 1980s, the United States wanted to deal with Japan's younger brothers and joined forces with Europe to strengthen the quality inspection of Japanese agricultural products. Japanese agricultural products

Only then did his true colors show up.

However, in many countries in Asia, such as China, the concept of Japanese agricultural products being superior has been popular for a long time. Even at the beginning of the 21st century, there were some kneeling people who firmly believed in this.

In fact, there is a saying that has been circulating for a long time, which can explain Japan’s nationwide systemic fraud from the side.

That is, they are made in Japan. The best ones are given to the United States and Europe, the medium ones are kept for their own use, and the inferior ones are given to China and other Asian developing countries.

At first glance, this sentence seems to be a sign of Japan's evil intentions, but it is not. It is a reflection of the authenticity of Japan's technical indicators.

For industrial powerhouses such as Europe and the United States, Japan knows that its products have to be carefully inspected, so the indicators of products exported to Europe and the United States are all in compliance with standards, and there is not much fraud, so the performance is very good. After all, your products are qualified.

Mid-range products used by Japan refer to products used by Japan. There is some fraud, but there are not many false marks. But no matter how few false marks there are, it is still an unqualified product, so the durability is naturally inferior. This is the so-called mid-range product.

For own use.

For developing countries such as China, Japanese products wildly falsely mark their own indicators. They are all seriously substandard products. Naturally, they cannot meet the service life and quality of qualified products. This is why inferior products are used in developing countries.

.

The bad records made in Japan were concealed for a long time due to various reasons. It was not until the development of the Internet in the 21st century that they were finally exposed on a large scale. But this is for ordinary people, and for real relevant companies in various countries, they have known it for a long time.

Japan has practiced deception.

Why is it said that Japan’s economy stagnated after its economic bubble burst?

Because the bursting of the economic bubble not only severely damaged Japan's economy, but also exposed Japan's pretense of fraud. Japanese manufacturing is no longer a high-quality product in everyone's mind, and it cannot continue to cut leeks. In addition, with the rise of South Korea and China, it is not possible.

.

So now, as for Cao Zhiqiang, although I don’t know whether the technical indicators in this information are really fake or false, but he is a Chinese and a Chinese customer, so according to the virtues of the Japanese at this time, if the information is not falsely high

Technical parameters, that is definitely an unqualified Japanese salesman!
