Chapter 674 Another great story?

Hu Jihong came back, and after listening to Hu Jihong's report, especially about the situation of Zhang Qihang's family, Yamada Ichiro's expression was a bit ugly: "So, our method of using money to impress Mr. Zhang won't work?"

"It's basically impossible," Hu Jihong also sighed: "Mr. Yamada, you have lived in China for so long, you should know what it means for a family to earn millions of RMB every year, what a huge fortune this is .”

"Yeah, I know."

Ichiro Yamada sighed. In today's China, he is very clear about what an annual income of millions means. He even understands that even if this money is placed in Dongying, it is a lot of money, but it is also It means that Zhang Qihang will basically no longer worry about money, which means that it is impossible for Honda to "persuade" Zhang Qihang with money.

But Ichiro Yamada is Ichiro Yamada. He rolled his eyes and tentatively asked Hu Jihong: "Mr. Hu, if I remember correctly, your government seems to have a rule that officials are not allowed to do business? Mr. Zhang's approach is a violation. Is it regulated by your government?"

It would be great if this method could be used to force Zhang Qihang to bow his head.

Unfortunately, Yamada Ichiro's idea came to nothing. Under Yamada Ichiro's hopeful eyes, Hu Jihong shook his head shamelessly: "Our country has similar regulations, but this regulation does not apply to Mr. Zhang Qihang."

"Huh?" Yamada Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "Why?"

"Because Mr. Zhang is not an official," Hu Jihong said with a wry smile, "To be more precise, Mr. Zhang Qihang is an official of a state-owned enterprise, not an official of a government department, and this regulation of our country is designed for government officials. of."

"..."

Yamada Ichiro was dumbfounded: Can it still be like this?
Seeing Ichiro Yamada's expression, Hu Jihong knew that this guy didn't understand at all, so he explained to him: "Mr. He said that when their family opened the factory, Mr. Zhang Qihang was not an official national official; in addition, it was not Mr. Zhang Qihang himself who opened the factory, but his parents, so in theory, Zhang Qihang could not be exempted from this clause. prescribed limits."

After a pause, Hu Jihong continued: "In addition, according to my observation, it seems that the machinery manufacturing factory of Mr. Zhang Qihang's family has become a major taxpayer of the local government, and Mr. Yamada, you know about such a major taxpayer. The government must protect it, so..."

Yamada Ichiro, who was born in a capitalist country, is more aware of the local government's attitude towards such a large taxpayer, so he sighed regretfully and had to give up his dirty idea just now: "If the company of Mr. Zhang Qihang's family is indeed The local big taxpayer, then we really have nothing to do... By the way, Hu Jun, you seem to have said just now that you took some photos when you visited the aero-engine they developed?"

"Yes." Seeing that Ichiro Yamada finally mentioned the photo, Hu Jihong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly handed over the photo: "They all come here."

Yes, this time I went to Huateng Industrial Group, although I didn't see Zhang Qihang, but Hu Jihong took a lot of photos of the piston-type aero-engine under test and the automatic transmission for construction machinery.

While visiting these engines that were being tested, Hu Jihong tentatively asked if he could take some photos. Originally, Hu Jihong had no extravagant hope that the other party would agree, because Huateng Industrial Group would never agree to it anyway. , but Liu Jianfeng's reaction was somewhat beyond Hu Jihong's expectation. Not only did he agree, he even took the initiative to help borrow a camera and a few film rolls from Huateng Group for Hu Jihong's shooting.

As for Hu Jihong's shooting behavior, Huateng Industrial Group did not make too many restrictions except for some places that are not allowed to shoot. They even visited the construction machinery special fluid that Huateng Industrial Group is testing next When the transmission was forced, the other party also allowed Hu Jihong to take some photos.

Yamada Ichiro flipped through the photos in his hand, his expression gradually became serious.

As Hu Jihong said, Huateng Industrial Group is developing piston-type aero engines, and these photos in his hands are evidence.

Ichiro Yamada doesn't know much about piston aero engines, but he doesn't understand. He still knows some basic concepts about piston aero engines. For example, the power-to-weight ratio is a very important parameter to measure the quality of an aero engine. , whether it is a piston-type aero-engine or a turbo-type aero-engine, the power-to-weight ratio of Huateng Industrial Group's piston-type aero-engine fueled by aviation kerosene has reached 1.2:1, that is, the weight of the engine per kilogram 1.2 kW power available;
Another example is the overhaul maintenance interval is also a very important parameter. Ichiro Yamada is not very clear about the maintenance interval of an aero-engine, but the engine maintenance interval of 1500 hours is definitely not short...

Flipping through these photos, Ichiro Yamada frowned, a little puzzled: "I don't quite understand, why did they allow you to take pictures?"

Hu Jihong didn't make a fool of himself: "I was also a little confused about this question at the time, and I couldn't understand it very much, but after thinking about it seriously, I vaguely understood the reason."

"Oh?"

Hearing what Hu Jihong said, Ichiro Yamada raised his eyebrows: "Tell me about your conclusion."

"I thought about it for a long time and came to an uncertain conclusion," Hu Jihong said: "They are actually using this method to prove one thing to us, that is, their Huateng Industrial Group has the design and production technology. Advanced piston engine and automatic transmission capabilities."

Yamada Ichiro frowned, a little puzzled: "It has nothing to do with us, does it?"

However, to the surprise of Ichiro Yamada, Hu Jihong shook his head and said, "No, it has something to do with us. Huateng Industrial Group is using this method to prove to us that they have the ability to imitate our Honda F series. Engine capabilities, but also the ability to produce and manufacture automatic transmissions in-house.”

"What do you mean?" Yamada Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and then flew into a rage: "You mean that they are going to infringe our patents and imitate our engines without any legal sense without our authorization?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean. I mean, the other party is showing us that they have such abilities. As for whether the other party will do this, I can't guarantee it, and..." Speaking of this, Hu Jihong looked Glancing at Ichiro Yamada, he said meaningfully: "Even if Huateng Industrial Group really did this, can we really do anything to them?"

"We can file a lawsuit with them!" Yamada Ichiro said without hesitation: "If they really do this, it will be a very serious infringement..."

"It's useless." Before Ichiro Yamada finished speaking, Hu Jihong interrupted the other party's words with a wry smile, and said, "Mr. Yamada, you have stayed in our country for so long, you should know that at this stage, our country's legal ceremony It is still relatively weak, and I even think that if Huateng Industrial Group can really successfully imitate our F-series engines, not only will they not be condemned and punished at the legal level, they may even be regarded as heroes."

"This this……"

Yamada Ichiro's eyes widened, but his whole body held back like a deflated ball.

Yes, as a Dongying person who has worked in China for several years and can barely be regarded as half a "Huaxia Tong", although Ichiro Yamada is very angry, he has to admit that Hu Jihong is right. Successfully imitating the F-series engines without the technical support provided by Honda, they will not receive any condemnation, legal punishment, or economic loss, and may even be It is no exaggeration that the Chinese people regard them as heroes.

After clarifying this point, Yamada Ichiro couldn't help but muttered: "So, we really have no choice but to watch them infringe our patent?"

Yamada Ichiro thought that Hu Jihong would give himself a helpless smile that contained "This is China now!", but to his surprise, Hu Jihong shook his head: "No, Mr. Yamada, my opinion and yours On the contrary, I think Mr. Zhang Qihang has shown us this ability, but it is a manifestation of his sincerity in cooperation.”

After hearing Hu Jihong's words, Ichiro Yamada's eyes widened. He really couldn't understand the logic of this. Why is it Huateng Industrial Group and the process instead.

"Mr. Yamada, I wonder if you still remember the whole story of the cooperation between Honda and my country's Jialing motorcycles in the late 70s and early 80s?"

Jialing?

Yamada Ichiro's eyes lit up all of a sudden!

Of course he knew the ins and outs of the cooperation between Honda and Jialing. Without Honda's knowledge, the Jialing Machinery Factory in Huaxia imitated a small motorcycle called PA50 from Honda and named it Jialing CJ50. Honda discovered that Jialing was not I was really annoyed at first that I imitated my own product after being authorized, but after inspecting this motorcycle imitated by Jialing, I was surprised to find that Jialing’s technical level was not bad, and the then president Kawashima liked it even more. He thought that for Honda, which was struggling to find an opportunity to enter the Chinese market, this opportunity was quite rare, so he took this opportunity to establish a formal cooperative relationship with Jialing Machinery Manufacturing Factory, which is now Jialing-Honda.

The cooperation with Jialing has brought great rewards to Honda, so the question is, in this matter, can Honda follow the example of the cooperation with Jialing back then and achieve a good story?
