Chapter 117 The Fall of the Craftsman Spirit
Harada Koki kept bowing to Hayi, vividly showing the servility of Xiaobenzi in the face of power. After returning to the sales department, Harada Koki vented his evil fire on his subordinates.
As soon as Harada Koki calmed down, the phone on his desk rang. Harada Koki picked up the phone: Hello!This is Nippon Steel Corporation, and I am Koki Harada.
A string of familiar German words came from the microphone: "Mr. Harada Koki, I am Juliet from Zhiyuan International. It is said that Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. was involved in a commercial fraud case. I am very sorry. Zhiyuan International needs to re-evaluate our cooperation... "
Harada Koki dropped the microphone and burst into incompetent rage. After scolding his subordinates, he grabbed his coat and hurried to the Oriental Hotel, but he still missed it. The staff of the negotiation team told Harada Koki: Liao Tingxuan had something to do temporarily. Kobe!
Harada Koki had no choice but to leave angrily, cursing in his heart: These bastards from Kobe Steel are taking advantage of others...
The next day, a commentator's article published on the front page of the Tokyo Mainichi Economic Express used a very provocative title: The Fall of the Craftsmanship Spirit - Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. was sued by users for commercial fraud.
The article elaborates on the ins and outs of Tokai Steel Works' lawsuit against Nippon Steel Corporation for commercial fraud. Although many technical parameters are obscure and difficult to understand, it is not difficult for most readers to see that Nippon Steel has made an ugly appearance in the performance of this contract with a total amount of more than [-] billion US dollars. , and was finally caught by the user.
The author of the article uses a very obscure Spring and Autumn style of writing to elevate the commercial fraud of Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. to the reputation of the entire Japanese manufacturing industry, especially the so-called "craftsmanship spirit" that the Japanese people are proud of.
Japan in this era is also filled with many rhythmic "public intellectuals". In fact, no matter which country, once the GDP rises to the second place and threatens the status of the "lighthouse country", they will carry out various infiltrations through remote Breeding and cultivating a group of "public intellectuals" who are good at leading the rhythm. The small books of this era are called "political newspapers" because of this historical background!
At the end of the article, the author wrote in a sad tone of concern for the country and the people:
"Perhaps many years from now, commercial fraud cases involving tens of billions of dollars like that of Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. will no longer attract attention, because by then, the craftsmanship we are proud of will no longer exist! Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. is suspected of commercial fraud Fraudulent behavior has put the commercial credit system of Japanese companies on the verge of collapse and has also brought shame to the entire Japanese manufacturing industry!"
"Perhaps the Tokyo District Court can help Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. escape legal sanctions out of economic interests, but what Japan will lose will be the future of manufacturing."
The Tokyo Daily Economic Express report soon caused an uproar, and the commercial fraud case filed by Tokai Steel Plant against Nippon Steel Corporation finally spread back to the country...
"Playing the piano randomly! What the hell is this Liao Tingxuan doing! At this critical juncture, he made the decision to sue Nippon Steel Corporation without asking for instructions or reporting. Does he still have any sense of organization?" At a high-level emergency meeting, a person The leader takes the lead.
"I think Liao Tingxuan, who made decisions without asking for instructions or reporting, is very politically intelligent! If he had reported it, could Tokai Steel Works still sue Nippon Steel Corporation for commercial fraud?"
"My gay brother! What time is it now? It is a critical moment to open the country. Don't lose the big for the small! What kind of international impact will suing Japan Railways have?"
"This is not the first time that Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. has engaged in this kind of shoddy business. Jianggang's 1 meter steel rolling project has had this problem in their hot rolling equipment production line. The Japanese technical staff knew it clearly. My own design flaw was that I refused to admit my fault, which almost caused serious consequences. Such a company should serve as a warning to others and be put on a blacklist that will never cooperate!"
"There is nothing trivial in diplomacy, and we should still value peace! To promote reconciliation with Japanese companies as soon as possible, I suggest that Comrade Liao Tingxuan be temporarily transferred back to China and the negotiation team leader be re-appointed to take over Comrade Liao Tingxuan's work!"
"I think Comrade Liao Tingxuan has fulfilled his mission as the leader of the negotiation team brilliantly! Our original core demand was to suspend the advancement of the Donghai Steel Plant project due to tight foreign exchange, and Japan asked us for huge breach of contract compensation. Now Comrade Liao Tingxuan has successfully changed the situation. The reverse will turn us into claiming compensation from the Japanese side!"
Such a clear-cut debate lasted for a long time. Finally, an old man said with his strong local accent: "Our principle of opening the country is equality, win-win, and mutual benefit. After the country is opened, there will be more and more transnational business infringement cases in the future." The more we do, in principle we will not be biased or interfere, and based on relevant laws and regulations, our companies will be treated unfairly, and we will take up legal weapons to protect our rights and interests. This is a good thing! Don’t be afraid of lawsuits and leave with reason. All over the world! Now that we have entrusted a lawyer to file a lawsuit, the negotiation team can return to China to report on their work. We will make a decision on whether Comrade Liao Tingxuan will stay or leave after he reports on his work!"
The departure of the Chinese negotiating team is tantamount to temporarily closing the channel for reconciliation between the two parties. The case of Tokai Steel Plant suing Japan Steel Corporation for commercial fraud was exaggerated by the media and attracted the attention of the world.
Liao Tingxuan boarded the flight back to China anxiously, but Yang Mo believed that with the wise old man around, Liao Tingxuan would definitely be able to survive the danger, and maybe he would become a successful man just like that.
Liao Tingxuan's more than ten pages of work report, together with negotiation records and audio recordings, were submitted as internal reference, and Yang Mo once again entered the high-level field of vision.
It only took three days for the stone that weighed on Liao Tingxuan's heart to fall to the ground. The Donghai Steel Plant project negotiation team was cancelled. Liao Tingxuan was re-appointed as the plenipotentiary representative of the Donghai Steel Plant's case against Japan Railways and continued to fly to Tokyo.
Tokyo District Court, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.Tokai Steel Works sued Nippon Steel Corporation for commercial fraud, the scene of the first court hearing.
At the gate of the court, reporters from major newspapers around the world have already gathered. This public opinion storm led by the Tokyo Daily Economic Express has forced the Tokyo District Court into a dilemma. Any unfair favoritism will be may be amplified.
On the first day of the trial, the court conducted mediation as usual. Seeing the amount of compensation proposed by the Chinese side, the eyes of Japanese respondent Koki Harada almost dropped: "Nani? Claiming US$13.75 billion? Director Liao, are you doing this? Wrong? If it is 13.75 billion yen, it is still possible to reach a consensus..."
Liao Tingxuan said calmly: "Mr. Harada, this is the price we have calculated carefully. This does not include the loss of construction delay caused by your cutting corners and materials. We will reserve the right to pursue further investigation!"
