1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 320: What's wrong with the Hongmen Banquet? You have to give million US dollars!
"Mr. Gu, this is the blueprint!"

On this side of the monitoring hall, the grandfather who was accompanying the old leader, after seeing the situation of the negotiations clearly, his ears and face instantly turned red, and his chest and abdomen were violently heaving due to the stimulation.

Electronic flush toilet?
His grandson-in-law Cheng Xuemin actually discovered from those massive amounts of parts drawings that the Japanese had slipped an electronic flush toilet into this import project?

Moreover, the Japanese have even priced this electronic flush toilet at 20 million US dollars?
Oh my god!
The old grandfather's eyes were extremely bloodshot, and he quickly asked someone to find the blueprint for him.

The engineers in their project team spent more than a month reviewing the project, but they did not find any drawings of the electronic flush toilet.

But his grandson-in-law found out?

When was it discovered?

The old grandfather tried hard to recall that he had just mentioned this project to Xuemin two days ago.

He just mentioned that Shanghai Baogang was going to introduce a 1880 large hot rolling mill project. Apart from revealing this simple information, it seemed that he, my grandson-in-law, had not even seen the drawings.

So how did he make such a major discovery in just two or three days?
and!

He hadn't even told his grandfather a word in advance.

It’s really... infuriating!

But after feeling angry and anxious, I felt more relieved and scared.

If his grandson-in-law had not discovered this major loophole in time, the project they had invested heavily in would have contained a flush toilet equipment worth up to 20 million US dollars.

It would be a shame if this got out!

The old foreign grandfather couldn't imagine the consequences if it was really introduced as scheduled...

I no longer have the energy to think about what happens next. The most urgent thing now is to find out what is going on.

After someone brought the drawings, the old man took them and started to look through them carefully.

"Is this...is this the image of a flushing toilet?!"

"How could I be so confused? I used it a lot during the Republic of China. Besides, my grandson-in-law's house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment also has this kind of flush toilet!"

"How could I be so senile that I didn't notice it in time?"

After looking at the drawing, the old grandfather realized that this was the drawing of a flush toilet.

However, the Japanese had tampered with the drawings, and it would be difficult to detect if you didn't look at them carefully.

It was their grandson-in-law who found the blueprint and said it was a flush toilet. Only then did they realize that the more they looked at it, the more it looked like a toilet...

It doesn't look like one at all, it's just a flush toilet.

"Mr. Gu, you are really the wisest one!"

"If it weren't for you this time, we would not only suffer a huge loss, but also bring shame to our country internationally!"

"I just heard from Xuemin that it was because you discovered this toilet in time that you asked Xuemin to help you collect materials, right?"

The old leader next to him said this to the old grandfather.

"Commander, you don't have to flatter me like that. You are old and confused. You didn't realize the Japanese trap in the first place. Not only did you almost cause our country to suffer huge losses, but you also made people laugh at you!"

"I am really getting old and confused, old man!"

After hearing what the old leader said, the grandfather knew that it was his grandson-in-law who was trying to flatter him and attribute all the credit for discovering the trap to this old guy.

But how could the old grandfather rely on such a great achievement? He said with self-blame, his ears and face flushed with shame.

"Mr. Gu, don't underestimate yourself. As far as I know, you are only in charge of the general direction! You did not participate in the specific review of the drawings, so it is not your responsibility that you did not discover it in time!
Besides, Xiao Cheng has already reported the whole thing to our Economic Committee!"

"Anyway, this time, I really want to thank you, Mr. Gu, and Xiao Cheng!"

"After this matter is resolved, I will definitely present certificates of merit to Xiao Cheng and Mr. Gu on behalf of the Economic Commission!"

The old leader knew that the old grandfather was being modest and not taking credit for himself, otherwise he would give all the credit to his grandson-in-law, but it would be the same!
"Don't dare!"

"By the way, Chief, what is Xuemin's plan? He just asked to take over the leadership of the negotiations. What does he want to do?"

The old grandfather really breathed a sigh of relief, and then he asked with concern how his grandson-in-law was going to fight back against the Japanese.

"Mr. Gu, Xuemin does have an idea. If the discussion goes well, it can be free... Let's start!"

"Then Mr. Gu, let's wait and see how Xuemin talks to the devils!"

The old leader was just about to tell my grandfather that your grandson-in-law was going to turn the tables on the Japanese at the negotiation table and was going to get a large hot rolling mill production line worth 300 million US dollars from them for free.

However, seeing that Cheng Xuemin, the trump card, has already begun to be used in the negotiation meeting room, let's wait and see how the young man performs!

……

"Your delegation, I just listened carefully and analyzed it carefully!

You are willing to give us a discount of 5 million yuan to sell the electronic flush toilet to us. Can I assume that there is a secret that you cannot reveal? "

Even if Cheng Xuemin has never eaten pork, he must have seen a pig run!

At the negotiation table, you must take the initiative and gain control over the rhythm of the entire negotiation process.

and so!
Cheng Xuemin's opening remarks, which were directly in Japanese and not shocking, took the lead.

The old Japanese soldiers like Mitsui Sotaro and Tanaka Hisashige were shocked on the spot and their faces changed drastically. Their morale had already dropped and now they were even more unsure!
They were repeatedly pondering why the young man named Xiao Cheng in front of them could reveal such a secret!
Did he notice something, or was he just deliberately tricking them? !

The same reaction also happened to Lao Luo and the others!

I was even more surprised that Mr. Gu's grandson-in-law, the young pioneer chosen by the higher-ups, could speak Japanese so well.

Although they couldn't understand what Cheng Xuemin was saying in Japanese, they didn't know what it meant!
but!

Judging from the pale faces of the old Japanese soldiers on the other side, Cheng Xuemin must have hit the nail on the head and hit the vital point of the young Japanese soldiers.

Wait until the translator translates Cheng Xuemin’s words into Mandarin for everyone to hear!
On the spot, Lao Luo was so angry that he almost went crazy!
Co-authored!

The Japanese had to force them to pack the electronic flush toilet, but there was another secret behind it! ?
but!

How come he, the chief commander of this project, didn't notice it at all?!
To know!
Their project team has spent a lot of manpower and resources on the audit of this hot rolling mill production line, but they have not found any clues.

How come Mr. Gu's grandson-in-law suddenly discovered such a shocking trap?

Yes!

This was really a big trap set by the Japanese. Thinking about how they spent huge amounts of money to introduce this production line, which would bring shame to the country and cause huge property losses, Lao Luo couldn't help but feel frightened, and cold sweat beads as big as beans appeared on his forehead.

While feeling scared, Lao Luo, the general director of this project, was full of admiration for Cheng Xuemin, the younger generation.

Then he reacted.

Their young pioneer has begun to deviate from the script they just rehearsed and start to act on his own?

In the brief exchange before, Cheng Xuemin hadn't mentioned that the Japanese's Achilles' heel was this flush toilet? "Mr. Cheng, you speak Japanese very well! However, if you misinterpret our good intentions as full of malice, you will be responsible!"

"Luosang!! I wonder who this Cheng Sang is from your side? Does what he said represent your side? Can he represent your side and take responsibility for international disputes caused by misinterpretation and defamation?"

A cornered dog will do something desperate!

The Japanese were hit in the vital spot by this statement, and they are desperate!

Lao Luo saw the angry expression on the face of old man Mitsui Sotaro, and he felt very relieved and secretly happy.

Damn it!

The negotiation momentum was finally snatched from the Japanese.

"Mr. Mitsui! This is our deputy chief negotiator Cheng Xuemin. He will represent us and continue the next round of negotiations with you!
At the same time, his attitude is our attitude, and he will have full authority to decide this negotiation between the two sides!"

Lao Luo spread out his right hand and pointed at Cheng Xuemin, solemnly introducing him to the Japanese negotiation team.

As the translator translated Lao Luo's words into Japanese, the faces of the Japanese soldiers such as Mitsui Sotaro and Tanaka Hisashige all changed!

This young man who suddenly appeared on the other side turned out to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese negotiations! ?

Moreover, he will fully represent the Chinese side and continue to negotiate with them, and he will have the final say! ?

"Mr. Mitsui! You just mentioned that we are misinterpreting your good intentions? It's even slandering you!?"

Cheng Xuemin took over the conversation and asked directly,
"Then we are very confused! Why are you so deliberate and insist on selling us your so-called complete electronic flush toilet?"

"Mr. Cheng! Nice to meet you! We were so presumptuous before! I never thought that Mr. Cheng, who is so young, could hold such a high position in your company!"

After carefully examining Cheng Xuemin with his gloomy eyes, the old ghost Mitsui Sotaro asked:
"Mr. Cheng, please forgive me for asking you this abruptly. Was it you who discovered the blueprint of the electronic flush toilet?"

A strange face who is fluent in Japanese and holds the high position of deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese side, Mitsui Sotaro couldn't help but think in this direction.

at first!

What they are bullying is China's backward technological level, and that there is no one in China who can find the traps of electronic flush toilets from the massive tonnage-level professional foreign language drawings.

Moreover, their little tricks were not discovered at all for a time.

Even at the final negotiations, before the contract was signed, the Chinese side did not raise any objections.

Even among the 50 million cuts they proposed, this electronic flush toilet is not included.

but!

Just on the eve of signing the contract, the Chinese delegation actually wanted to cancel the negotiation and renegotiate.

This is very contrary to common sense.

just now!

Cheng Xuemin suddenly appeared in front of them, and the old Japanese seemed to be certain.

The young man in front of them is the real opponent they will face in this negotiation.

The previous bickering may have been just a warm-up appetizer.

and!

This little Cheng Sang in front of me has no good intentions!
Was it a coincidence that he directly pointed out their design flaws right away?!

Of course, Mitsui Sotaro hopes that it must be a coincidence!

"That's right! You drew the flush toilet too abstractly. I believe that even if you examine it carefully, you won't find that it is actually a drawing of a toilet. Your hands and feet are really exquisite.

I think the installation of the real thing will surprise many of your customers, right?" Cheng Xuemin said seriously.

"Cheng Sang, you are such a joker!"

Even Mitsui Sotaro had a gloomy expression on his face.

"A joke?"

"Is it funny?"

"Then let's show Mr. Mitsui something more interesting!"

Cheng Xuemin placed his hand on the information on the table, nodded and smiled, and continued, "Speaking of your flush toilet, it has aroused my strong curiosity and desire to study it.

So I did a little research on your toilets, and it's working great! ”

"Oh! Really? Mr. Cheng's research interests are really... unique!" Mitsui Soutarou tried his best to be patient and continued to ask, "I wonder if Mr. Cheng has any research results? Can you share them with us so that we can have a chance to improve!"

Then he stared at the file bag that Cheng Xuemin kept pointing at, and Mitsui Sotaro suddenly felt unsure.

Could it be that this young Chinese man in front of him really discovered the secret of their electronic flush toilets?
"Of course you can. This achievement report was prepared for you!"

Then, Cheng Xuemin immediately pushed the document bag on the table over and said politely:

"Mr. Mitsui, please take a look!"

The old ghost Mitsui Sotaro's eyes shrank sharply, and he looked at Cheng Xuemin with a very sinister look!

Make sure the other party is not joking!

The other party actually studied their flush toilets... no, it should be the drawings?
And, are there any research results?
Upon closer inspection, I saw that there was an imperceptible evil in the corner of the mouth of the young Chinese deputy chief of the negotiations!
In an instant, the old ghost Mitsui Sotaro was shocked again!
Is it possible?
What can really be discovered through research?!

If!
In a country that is extremely backward in modernization, there is a young man under the age of 20 who actually claims to have research results on the equipment and products of their Mitsui Group.

If this had happened before, they would have walked away without even a second thought. What the hell?
There's nothing to talk about!

but!

Their equipment does have serious design flaws, and they have not yet found a way to remedy this defect.

Therefore, we can only use electronic flush toilets to temporarily cover up this design flaw.

I thought this cover-up was perfect. At least so far, no customer has questioned it!

Even the technically first-rate Americans, such as the Eagles or the Germans, did not notice it.

But the problem now is.

The young Chinese representative pointed out this flaw right at the beginning.

When Mitsui Sotaro arrived, he subconsciously took the document handed over to him on the desk!

It has no cover, is clean, and feels as thick as a dozen pages.

Good guy!
The Chinese negotiating team is really putting a lot of effort into this. Could this be a Hongmen Banquet?!
……

Asking for a monthly ticket!
