Chapter 1141 TOEFL
Seeing Duan Yun's confident expression, Fujio was somewhat disapproving.

Fujio himself knows the president of Toshiba Group very well. In his opinion, the chairman of Toshiba Masakazu Saha is a leader full of great wisdom, firm will, and outstanding vision. He has always put the interests of the company first No. 1, you will never change your mind just because of some rhetoric from customers.

Moreover, the conditions that Fujio put forward to Duan Yun this time are all the final decisions made by the president. If any of them are not satisfied, Toshiba's joint venture factory in China will definitely fail, and there is no room for maneuver.

As for Duan Yun wanting to win the entire flash memory chip production line for 5 million US dollars, this is a fantasy in Fujio Masuoka's view, because even a second-hand production line of Toshiba is worth 000 million to 4 million US dollars. , About 000 million, not to mention that it contains some of the most advanced flash memory chip production lines in the world.

"Duan Jun..." At this moment, Fujio Masuoka was about to confide the truth to Duan Yun, telling him that there was no possibility of price reduction for this production line.

"Mr. Fujio, you have said everything you should say, and I understand it. You stay in China for the next two days. I will do my best to be a landlord. When I finish writing my letter, you can take it with you." He has returned to Japan." Duan Yun interrupted Fujio and said with a smile.

"This...well..." Fujio Masuoka nodded when he heard this, a look of helplessness flashed across his face.

There is no doubt that Fujio Masuoka is very eager for the company to revive its flash memory chip project, because in his opinion, "Flash" chip technology is a research project he is most proud of, this technology should be epoch-making, and It should not be buried mercilessly like this.

However, the thinking of people engaged in technology and product marketing cannot be unified. The former focuses on technological progress, while the latter focuses on market value.

In fact, after learning that Duan Yun could not spend 1 million U.S. dollars, the disheartened Fujio Masuoka no longer wanted to stay here, but Duan Yun was a friend he admired. You can only stay in China for two days.

"Drink!" At this time, Yunyun picked up the wine glass, and he seemed to see Fujio's thoughts, and said to him with a smile: "There is an old saying in China, that is, one drink can relieve a thousand worries, let him disappear in smoke, and tomorrow will definitely better."

"Hmm." A bitter smile flashed across Fujio Masuoka's face when he heard this, he picked up the wine glass and touched Duan Yun, and drank it down in one gulp.

That night, Fujio Masuoka drank a lot of wine and stayed with Duan Yun in the Guangzhou office for a night.

In the early morning of the second day, Duan Yun drove him to the electronics factory, and then asked someone to arrange a room for him in the product technology research and development center, and let Fujio live in the research and development center for the next two days.

In fact, Duan Yun can finish writing the letter in an hour at most. The main reason for letting Fujio Masuoka stay here for two days is to let the researchers in the product technology research and development center learn some advanced Japanese technology from him. technology.

"Xiaoyun, please translate for Mr. Fujio in the past two days, so that he can communicate with the personnel of our product technology research and development center as much as possible. He is the director of Toshiba Microelectronics Department, and his technical level is very high..." Duan Yun said after finding Li Yun at this time.

"It's nothing to worry about. This is my job." Li Yun smiled slightly, and then said, "Brother Duan, you just want the technicians in our factory to learn more from this Japanese. Professor Zhao and the others have coordinated well, and I guarantee that he will not be able to leave the factory!"

"Hahaha!" Duan Yun laughed when he heard the words, and said to Li Yun: "Work hard, and I will give you a raise later!"

Duan Yun still admires Li Yun very much. Not only is she talented and smart, she has the ability to never forget, but she is also far more mature than her peers, and she understands some ways of the world. It is very easy to communicate with this kind of employee. You don't have to worry about it at all. Chickens talk to ducks.

"It's fine with a salary increase." Li Yun's eyes flickered, and she said to Duan Yun: "If Brother Duan goes abroad in the future, just take me with you."

"There is definitely a chance for this. You are the only translator in our factory. You are good at both Japanese and German. If there is a chance, your sister-in-law and I will definitely take you abroad." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Then we can make a deal!" Li Yun said happily.

In fact, Li Yun works as a translator in Duanyun Company, and she usually works very leisurely, but she spends most of her time learning foreign languages ​​and preparing to take the TOEFL test.

People in later generations may find it unbelievable, but in BJ Shanghai in the 80s, TOEFL was a "buzzword" that many young people talked about all day long.

As early as 1981, the TOEFL test has entered China, and the number of candidates applying for the test is increasing year by year.

Taking BJ as an example, there were only 1981 references in 285, 1985 in 8000, and 1986 in 18000. In the 90s, people often had to queue all night, and there were still people who failed to register.

Li Yun planned her life very early. Although she is only a girl, she has great ambition and vigor.

After settling the matter of Fujio, Duan Yun still has one more thing to solve, which is to get the joint venture invitation letter from the SZ city government.

In fact, the so-called invitation letter is nothing more than a government's commitment to foreign-funded enterprises, including ensuring a good business environment and some relatively preferential policy support.

In the 80s, when state-owned enterprises spent foreign exchange to introduce foreign production lines, most of them were led by the government, and some were leaders of municipal departments. The introduction of the automobile production line, and another kind of contract signed by the leaders going abroad for inspection. In short, any state-owned enterprise that wants to import equipment from abroad must apply to the higher-level department. After approval, the introduction of foreign production lines can be implemented.

But China is a socialist country, and Duan Yun’s company is a private company. Without the guarantee from the local government, basically no foreign company would dare to invest in and establish a joint venture in China. This is also a consensus of foreign companies, so this time It is precisely for this reason that Toshiba asked Duan Yun for a government invitation letter.

In other cities in China, it may be difficult for the government to provide guarantees for private companies, but in Shenzhen, the government’s decision-making is relatively flexible, and many things can be handled specially. Especially Duan Yun is currently a business card of private companies in Shenzhen, so This thing can still be done...
