Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 569 Because I Know What I Said Is True!

After listening to Ikeda Kota's quotation, Cao Zhiqiang just smiled lightly.

"I think Section Chief Ikegani is just joking. 600 million US dollars, how dare you open your mouth like a lion, 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 business, whether in his previous life or this life, and he doesn't know that the market price is normal.

Although he didn't know the real market price, he knew the nature of the Japanese in business negotiations.

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

Although due to his personality, he didn't work in that trading company for too long, but he gained a lot of work experience because of it. He heard many seniors talk about the characteristics of businessmen from various countries, and he even received a Japanese client once.

So Cao Zhiqiang knows that when the Japanese talk about business, they like to put on airs. One of the characteristics is that they like to say a very high price when they come up, far exceeding the listed price.

If you don't understand the market price, that's fine, you can be killed, but if you understand the price, they will drop little by little.

Moreover, according to Cao Zhiqiang’s experience, when Japanese people talk about business, the price they offer at the beginning is usually about double the normal market price, so it is absolutely right to bargain at the middle.

However, if you bargain at the middle of the price, it is a new product. This kind of second-hand production line needs to be cut even harder.

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

Of course, if this transaction can be facilitated, we will definitely show a certain amount of respect to you personally, and you will be satisfied. "

As soon as the other party began to openly hint that he could offer bribes, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head directly, and sighed: "Mr. Chigu, although I love money, a gentleman loves money in a good way. If I want money, I will earn it myself, but absolutely Not doing this kind of bribery is not only a betrayal of the country and the company, but also an insult to my personality."

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Ikeda Xingta 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 There is no way to talk to you, here, I sincerely apologize to you."

After finishing speaking, Ikeda Kota bowed again, and his subordinates also reacted at this time, and quickly stood up and followed a nearly ninety-degree bow.

If someone else saw the other party like this, they might still be very moved, but Cao Zhiqiang, who knows the virtues of Japanese businessmen, laughed at this and didn't take it seriously at all. He just calmly pressed his hand: "Okay Well, sit down and talk, don't waste time."

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Ikeda Kota and his subordinates sat down again, but they all sat upright, showing a very respectful look.

Seeing their pretentious appearance, Cao Zhiqiang secretly smiled, and then continued to speak indifferently:
"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 of related equipment in Japan because of this.

In addition, you are a small company and you are more pursuing realistic money, so you opened your 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. "

As soon as I heard this, Ikeda Xingta quickly wanted to explain: "It's not Cao Sang, I..."

"Listen to me!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand.

Seeing that Yuki Iketani was too quiet, Cao Zhiqiang continued to calmly say: "Mr. Ikegani, I read the information just now. In fact, although your two production lines are second-hand, this is not a problem. The problem is your technical indicators. There are some hypocrisy and fraud, which cannot be tolerated."

"How could it be!" Takaguchi next to Kota Ikeda couldn't help but said, "You can say that our equipment is old, or that the price is a bit expensive, but you must not say that our technical indicators are inflated and fake. Our Japanese companies are absolutely It will not do such a thing! Our company will not do such a thing!"

"Takaguchi-kun!" Ikeda Kota quickly turned his head and reprimanded Takaguchi, "Shut up, you don't have a place to talk here!"

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

"Shut up!" Ikeda Kota reprimanded him severely again.

After reprimanding Takaguchi, Ikeda Xingta smiled and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Cao Sang, my subordinate has not been here for long, and he is too young. He contradicted you impulsively. Please bear with me."

After lightly bowing to Cao Zhiqiang again, Ikeda Xingta raised his head and said: "However, some of what he said are correct. Our Japanese companies have always been rigorous and will never falsify technical indicators. Electricity is even more incapable of doing this kind of thing. Once it is done, it will not be able to hold its head high in front of its peers, and it will not be possible to do business.

So, even if you want to haggle with me, please don't do it this way, it's an insult to us. "

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Are you thinking that I don't know anything? Yes, you Japanese are very good at publicity. You promote your craftsman spirit and rigorous style in various ways. I admit that your publicity is very good.

But the powerful propaganda does not mean that it is actually like that.

In terms of technical indicators, maybe you can fool others, but you can never fool me. "

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang shook the document in his hand: "Although I haven't seen the real thing, I absolutely believe that the technical parameters in your document must have a lot of water and must be fraudulent.

Because falsification of technical indicators is not done by one of your companies, but by your entire industry.

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

Therefore, in view of the bad habits of your entire industry, I am [-]% sure that the technical parameters in the information you gave me are deceitful!"

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Ikeda Kota became serious: "Cao Sang, this is a very serious accusation, are you sure you insist on saying this and don't take it back?"

"Of course I insist." Cao Zhiqiang sneered, "Because I know what I said is the truth!"

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

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

According to what Cao Zhiqiang learned from the Internet in his previous life, Japan began to pay attention to various technical indicators as early as the 70s, in order to increase its competitiveness and highlight the excellence of Japanese manufacturing.

But in fact, even in the 80s, the first echelon of real manufacturing powers is still only the United States, the second echelon is the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom, and Japan is at best the end of the second echelon, and more is still in the third echelon.

The reason is also very simple. The manufacturing industry needs to be accumulated, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

During World War II, Japan's domestic manufacturing industry was at the tail end of the main industrial countries participating in the war, not to mention it was a defeated country, and its industrial strength was once destroyed.

Of course, China was the exception. After all, China at that time could only be regarded as an agricultural country, not an industrial country.

Although during the Korean War, Japan undertook 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 have a period of rapid development.

But after all, the accumulation is not enough and the time is too short. Compared with the United States and Western Europe, Japan's industrial strength still has a certain gap.

But Japan will compete in a wrong place, and it is very good at publicity, and it is a nationwide system of publicity, which is very powerful.

For example, Japanese machine tools.

In fact, in the real high-tech field, Japanese machine tools are currently inferior to countries such as the United States, Germany, Britain and France, so they take the middle and low route, first develop middle and low-end machine tools, and greatly reduce the price, focusing on a high-quality and low-cost machine tool. .

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

When Japan became famous with its mid-to-low-end machine tools, it started various propaganda, such as promoting the spirit of craftsman and rigorous style, which can confuse a bunch of laymen.

After all, most of the high-tech fields are related to the military industry, and most of them are secret units that will not make a lot of publicity. The civilian equipment that ordinary people can touch is the low-end industrial equipment.

Therefore, some laymen really believed it after being blown up by Japan. For example, China once had a period of time when it was superstitious about Japan.

But in fact, Japanese manufacturing is a fraud of the whole industry.

If I remember correctly, the whole industry, not only the traditional industrial fields such as steel manufacturing, but also their traditional agricultural fields, is also cheating.

In the field of traditional industries, such as steel indicators and mechanical indicators, they are all fakes of the whole industry. Many countries have suffered from this. For example, China has been fooled. I really thought that Japanese products were good, but I bought one myself. After the test, I realized that all of them are false highs, and all of them are fake.

This is even more so in the field of agriculture.

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

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

Japan is actually not suitable for large-scale agricultural production due to objective reasons such as the small area of ​​arable land. Even if all the land suitable for arable cultivation in Japan is planted with grain, there is simply not enough for the people to eat, let alone eat well.

Therefore, Japan's food self-sufficiency rate has not been high. Even in the 80s, the food self-sufficiency rate was not even 30.00%. Every year, a large amount of food must be imported from outside to keep the people from starving.

Since this is the case, and in order to protect agriculture after World War II, Japan set up a monopoly farmer's association, so Japan changed its thinking, exporting high-priced domestic agricultural products to make money, and then importing low-priced agricultural products.

If you want to sell agricultural products at a high price, you have to be accepted by others. Otherwise, why should people buy your high-priced products?
Therefore, in order to sell Japanese agricultural products at a high price, it is necessary to highlight the quality. How?Naturally, it relies on propaganda.

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 they have always maintained traditional farming, which is greener and healthier.

This kind of publicity began on a large scale as early as the 70s, not just in the 90s.

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

Anyone who has done farm work knows that no matter what you grow, if 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, when you grow cucumbers, you grow them at home without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Just look at how thin the cucumbers grow, and you will never grow thick, green, juicy cucumbers.

Others include food, melons, fruits and vegetables, all of which are the same. If you want large quantities and good quality, you must use chemical fertilizers and pesticides together.

Japan’s agricultural products actually use pesticides and chemical fertilizers on a large scale, no less than those in developed countries such as the United States, but they brazenly boast that their agricultural products have no pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

The result is that Japanese agricultural products used to fool some countries such as the United States and the West by relying on this kind of boasting and deception. It was in the middle and late 80s that the United States wanted to clean up the Japanese younger brother, and joined forces with Europe to strengthen the quality inspection of Japanese agricultural products. revealing.

But in many Asian countries, such as China, the concept of Japanese agricultural products being tall has been popular for a long time, and even at the beginning of the 21st century, some kneeling people believed in it.

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, it is made in Japan. The best ones are for the United States and Europe, the middle ones are for their own use, and the inferior ones are for China and other Asian developing countries.

At first glance, this sentence seems to be a black heart in Japan, but it is not, but a manifestation of the authenticity of Japan's technical indicators.

For industrial powers such as Europe and the United States, Japan knows that its products have a past, and they have to carefully test them. Therefore, the indicators of products exported to Europe and the United States are up to standard, and there are not so many frauds, so the performance is very good. After all, your products are qualified.

The medium used by Japan itself refers to the products used by Japan itself. There are certain frauds, but there are not many false labels.But even if there are not many false labels, it is still a substandard product, so the durability is naturally worse. This is the so-called mid-range self-use.

For developing countries such as China, Japanese products crazily falsely mark their own indicators, which are seriously substandard products, and naturally cannot meet the service life and quality of qualified products. This is the reason why inferior products are used by developing countries. .

The bad deeds made in Japan have been concealed for a long time for various reasons. It was not until the development of the Internet in the 21st century that it was finally exposed on a large scale. Virtuous.

Why is it said that after the Japanese economic bubble burst, the economy stagnated?
Because the bursting of the economic bubble not only severely damaged the Japanese economy, but also exposed the false mask of Japan. Made in Japan is no longer a high-quality product in everyone's mind, and we cannot continue to cut leeks. Coupled with the rise of South Korea and China, it will not work. .

So, now Cao Zhiqiang, although I don’t know whether the technical indicators in this document are really fake or false, but he is a Chinese, a Chinese customer, so according to the virtues of the Japanese at this time, if it is not falsely high in the information Technical parameters, that is definitely an unqualified Japanese salesman!
