There is something called "craftsman spirit" in the world. Craftsman spirit is considered to be the embodiment of professional ethics, professional ability, and professional quality. The main connotations of craftsman spirit include dedication, leanness, concentration, and innovation.

Many public figures in China always brag about the craftsmanship of the Japanese, and articles such as "Japanese Craftsmanship: Focus on Doing One Thing Throughout Your Life" have also been reposted in various ways.

It can be seen that the core part of Japanese craftsmanship is concentration! Others, such as dedication, leanness and innovation, all come after concentration.

The so-called concentration, to put it bluntly, is actually a kind of stubbornness. In Northeast dialect, it is called "axis", and the brain cannot turn around!

At this time, Li Weidong was very grateful for the craftsmanship of the Japanese and was very aware that the Japanese were so focused!

In his previous life, Li Weidong knew about Sakurada Co., Ltd.'s cutting corners, but this is already the 21st century.

In this life, Li Weidong encountered a hydraulic failure at Yankuang in 1985.

In other words, the problem of the hydraulic oil tank has existed for more than 20 years, and for more than 20 years, Sakurada Co., Ltd. has been aware of the existence of this problem, but has not made any improvements!

Knowing clearly that there is a problem with their equipment, as long as it is not exposed, they will not make any improvements. This is what the Japanese craftsmanship can do!

Similar things are not uncommon in Japan. For example, the Takata air bag problem has existed for a full ten years, the Akebono brake problem has existed for twenty years, Kobe Steel has tampered with data and falsified it for more than ten years, and Kobayashi Chemical has falsified it for forty years.

Year!

Focusing on counterfeiting for forty years really fully reflects the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.

Those public intellectuals who have been advocating that the Japanese do not cheat all day have their faces swollen!

Only Japan in the world can have this kind of phenomenon. How could companies from other countries have this level of persistence and perseverance? They can persist in counterfeiting for forty years! Forty years are not enough time to solve the problem.

Of?

Sakurada Co., Ltd. is a typical Japanese company. When I find a problem, I just don't solve it. I just continue production in the original way! Our Japanese company is so dedicated and has such a craftsmanship spirit!

The result is that the same hydraulic oil tank problem allowed Li Weidong to obtain coal from Yankuang five years ago, and today, five years later, Li Weidong also found a way to lower the price.

Li Weidong believes that as long as the problem with the hydraulic oil tank is not announced, the problem will not be improved until the day Sakurada Co., Ltd. collapses.

…

Itokawa Shengya had already decided to surrender to Li Weidong, so he asked: "Sir, what do you want?"

Li Weidong smiled slightly and said, "My request is very simple. I want to talk about the equipment purchase price of Huanghai Petrochemical. I wonder if Mr. Itichuan is interested!"

"Can I say that I'm not interested!" Itokawa Katsuya thought to himself, and then said directly: "As for the equipment purchase price of Huanghai Petrochemical, I can give you a 10% discount on the basis of the original quotation!"

"Mr. Itokawa, I will keep the hydraulic oil tank secret, but I also hope that Sakurada Co., Ltd. can show some sincerity!" Li Weidong said.

Itokawa Sheng also hesitated for a moment and said: "20% off! This reduces the total price by a full ten million US dollars, which is enough to show our sincerity!"

Li Weidong smiled and shook his head. "Ten million U.S. dollars is a lot, but the buyers in Southeast Asia I mentioned just now purchase hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars of products from Sakurada Co., Ltd. every year, right? I don't know if any of them are

More or less with a hydraulic system.”

Itokawa Sheng also gritted his teeth and said: "25% off, this is the lowest price I can give!"

"Mr. Itokawa, the lowest price you can offer is a 25% discount. In other words, your boss can offer a lower price, so I suggest you report the current situation to your boss. I

I believe your boss will give me an answer that is more satisfactory to me." Li Weidong said calmly.

Itokawa Sheng also hesitated for a moment and said, "I can apply to my boss for a 30% discount on the price!"

Li Weidong didn't care anymore. He was too lazy to argue with Itokawa Shengya. He stretched out five fingers and said, "I want 50% off!"

"This is impossible!" Itokawa Katsuya replied without hesitation.

"Mr. Itichuan, don't refuse in a hurry. Go to your boss to apply. Maybe your boss will agree!" Li Weidong said.

Itokawa Katsuya hesitated again for a few seconds, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go and apply to the president, please wait a moment!"

I saw Itokawa Masaru walking out, but instead of reporting to his superiors, he walked into the bathroom because with his authority, he could indeed lower the price. The so-called minimum 30% off before was also a lie.

Itokawa Sheng also stayed in the bathroom for a full twenty minutes before returning to the conference room. He came to Li Weidong and said to him; "I have applied to the president, and the president said he can give you a

35% off the price!”

Li Weidong thought for a while and said: "Mr. Itichuan, you said before that you would give away a one-year warranty. I don't want this one-year warranty. Please make the price cheaper!"

Itokawa Katsuya suddenly became livid. This one-year warranty was originally used to deal with Huanghai Petrochemical. It was almost like a bad check, but he didn't expect that Li Weidong would use this bad check to bargain with the price!

Li Weidong looked at Itokawa Katsuya with a smile on his face. This could be regarded as treating the other person in his own way!

The hole you dug yourself, you have to jump into it with tears in your eyes!

Itokawa Katsuya only agreed: "Okay then, I will go to the president to apply."

Itokawa Katsuya ran to the toilet again, stayed there for twenty minutes, and then returned to the conference room again.

"The president said, if you don't want the one-year shelf life, you can get it for another $2 million cheaper!"

"That's 30% off!" Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said: "After the warranty period, I don't want the 20% off maintenance service fee. Can I give it a 40% off?"

Itokawa Katsuya clenched his fists fiercely and said, "Don't go too far!"

Li Weidong smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Itokawa, this 20% off maintenance service fee after the warranty period is the bargaining chip you proposed before. Don't you think it is worthless?"

Negotiation chips, right?”

Itokawa Katsuya reluctantly loosened his fist and fell into the hole he dug again!

With the stubbornness of the Japanese, how could he deny his previous views!

"Okay, I'll go to the president and apply!" Itokawa Katsuya walked out of the conference room again.

When Katsuya Itokawa came back, he had spent more than an hour in the toilet.

"Our president promised a 40% discount on the price, but this is our bottom line!" Itokawa Katsuya said seriously.

"40% off, it is indeed a relatively normal price." Li Weidong nodded.

Itokawa Katsu also breathed a sigh of relief. According to the 40% discount price, Sakurada Co., Ltd. can still make a certain profit.

Unexpectedly, Li Weidong suddenly asked: "Mr. Itichuan, does your president know the details of Yankuang five years ago?"

After hearing this, Itokawa Katsuya's face changed slightly.

The implicit meaning of Li Weidong's words is to ask, President of Sakurada Co., Ltd., was it you, Katsuya Ikawa, who messed up the Yankuang matter five years ago?

Li Weidong believes that Itokawa Katsuya will never tell the president the truth about the incident at Yankuang five years ago. Not only did he lose such a business, but also let Yankuang discover that Sakurada Co., Ltd. cut corners, this must be

To take responsibility.

Obviously, Itokawa Katsu is not willing to bear this kind of responsibility, so in his report to the president, he should have concealed something, or at least downplayed this kind of responsibility.

Seeing Itokawa Katsuya's face change slightly, Li Weidong knew that he had made the right bet!

Once the president knew the truth about what happened at Yankuang, Itokawa Katsuya would definitely be miserable, and he would definitely be held accountable.

In Japanese culture, being punished immediately after making a mistake is completely different from being held accountable many years later.

Being punished immediately after making a mistake only targets the mistake itself; being held accountable many years later involves issues of personal credibility, which shows that you are not an honest and trustworthy person.

If you look at Japanese politicians, you will know that if they are caught making a mistake on the spot, the most they can do is apologize and resign, and there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future; but if they are found to have a bad past, they will have to apologize and quit politics.

Therefore, Itokawa Katsu 100% does not want to be held accountable. If he is really held accountable, then his life will basically be finished. He will be demoted to a low-level position until retirement, during which he will be punished.

If you are looked down upon by your colleagues, it will be difficult for you to stand up again in your life.

Thinking of this, Itokawa Katsuya felt a sense of fear in his heart.

Li Weidong seemed to see through Itokawa Katsuya's heart, and he said, "Mr. Nishikawa, don't be nervous. I will keep what happened at Yankuang a secret for you, and I will never let your president know."

After hearing this, Itokawa Sheng also let out a sigh of relief.

However, Li Weidong continued: "We have an idiom in China called reciprocating love, which means that if I help you, you should also help me. People should help each other. Now that I have helped you, do you have to help me too?

Me?"

"What do you want me to do for you?" Itokawa Katsuya asked.

"I would like to ask Mr. Itokawa to persuade your president to give me a 50% discount on the price! With Mr. Itokawa's ability, he can definitely do this," Li Weidong said.

Itokawa Katsuya sighed helplessly. He had never seen such a difficult negotiating opponent. This negotiation skill was completely ham. He had already reached 40% off, and he was still not satisfied!

However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Itokawa Sheng also knew that if he could not come up with a 50% discount, then Li Weidong would definitely tell the president all the ins and outs of the Yankuang incident, and he would definitely be held accountable!

"Okay, I promise you! I'll talk to the president again." Itokawa Katsuya nodded.

"Then I'll be waiting for the good news from Mr. Itichuan!" Li Weidong said with a smile.
