Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Harada Koki denied: "No...no, Director Liao! It cannot be simply defined by whether it violates the contract. Nippon Steel Corporation chose equipment more suitable for the Tokai Steel Plant out of consideration for users!"

Liao Tingxuan frowned and said: "Mr. Harada Koki, it makes no sense for you to play word games back and forth like this. The Japanese side provides advanced equipment and technology transfer in accordance with the contract, which is the basis for us to continue to perform the contract!"

Harada Koki still said without leaking: "Director Liao, the 1730 mm steel rolling mill is the most suitable main equipment for the complete production line of Donghai Steel Plant. After weighing and comparing various aspects, our designers finally selected the 1730 mm steel rolling mill that is most suitable for you. Steel rolling mill, and this set of equipment was also written into the final assembly plan draft and submitted to the Chinese expert group for review!"

Wei Jingting retorted: "But this is not recognized by us. The Japanese side still insists on using the 1730 mm steel rolling mill despite our objections!"

Koki Harada continued to explain in a high-sounding way: "Taking into account China's limited budget and obstacles in technology transfer, Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. modified the contract agreement from the perspective of overall design. This is also a common practice in the design and production of large-scale equipment!"

"Is it a common practice for Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. to modify the contract stipulations in the design and production?" Liao Tingxuan asked with a frown.

"It can also be said that most equipment assembly companies need to modify the originally agreed equipment options according to actual conditions during design. Everything is for the benefit of customers!" Harada Koki nodded.

Liao Tingxuan changed the topic and said coldly: "Mr. Harada Koki's eloquence can really make everything alive. He unilaterally modified the contract and lowered the equipment parameters, which can be said to be for customers. So these are worth hundreds of thousands Are the restrooms, cloakrooms, and pantry prefabricated rooms also considered for customers? Or are you deliberately deceiving them?"

Harada Koki still patiently explained: "Director Liao, Nippon Steel Co., Ltd. pays attention to the hygienic condition of the factory area for safety reasons. After all, powder dust is a huge safety hazard for steel plants! "

Harada Koki's words have refreshed the Chinese negotiating team's understanding of the Japanese. This is almost a lie with open eyes and no bottom line.

Liao Tingxuan smiled instead of getting angry, with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm on his face, and continued: "In the first phase of the Donghai Iron and Steel Plant, including the blast furnace in the ironmaking workshop and the coking oven in the coking workshop, you also failed to comply with the contract, and Various technical parameters have been lowered privately.”

Harada Koki gradually became a little panicked and said without hesitation: "The first phase of the project that has been completed is not within the scope of this negotiation. We can discuss it at another time..."

Before Harada Koki finished speaking, Wei Jingting continued: "For the reformer in the steelmaking workshop, you did not use the most advanced oxygen bottom-blown reformer in the 70s. You also hid this technology that is fully mature for steel companies in various countries. They hide it and refuse to take it out for use, but deliberately use some castrated and backward products to fool us. Mr. Harada Koki, this is a serious commercial fraud by Nippon Steel Corporation!"

Beads of sweat gradually began to form on Harada Koki's forehead, and he stammered: "Wei...Mr. Wei! We have just introduced the oxygen bottom-blown reformer technology a few years ago, and some parts are still being improved. How can we How can an immature technology be used on such an important customer as Donghai Iron and Steel Works?"

Wei Jingting did not show mercy to Harada Koki at all, but refuted loudly: "Mr. Harada Koki, you are lying! The oxygen bottom-blown converter steelmaking method was developed in 1967 by the German SMS company and the Canadian Air Liquefaction Company. Success! After the trial production of the "OBM method" oxygen bottom blowing converter, countries around the world have introduced the OBM converter steelmaking method!"

Koki Harada wiped the sweat from his forehead and argued feebly: "After I go back, I will ask the technical department for confirmation. If it is true that the OBM converter steelmaking method technology has matured, we can re-modify the general design drawing. These can be discussed!" "

Liao Tingxuan opened the overall design drawing and said angrily: "As for the continuous casting machine, you neither used a segmented roller continuous casting machine nor a more efficient electric furnace followed by a single-stream continuous casting machine. Mr. Koki Harada! This is How do you explain it?"

At this time, a Japanese technician suddenly sent a "magic assist". He stood up and said arrogantly: "These are the most advanced technologies of Nippon Steel Corporation. Why should we transfer them to you? You don't deserve to use such good technology." equipment!"

Harada Koki raised his hand and slapped the technician on the face, and cursed fiercely: "Baga! Yamada-kun, you rude guy, quickly apologize to your Chinese friends..."

Lin Xi nodded gently to Yang Mo. Yang Mo approached Liao Tingxuan and said three words softly: "Turn over the table!"

After hearing this, Liao Tingxuan did not give the stupid Japanese technician a chance to apologize. He stood up and said angrily: "Mr. Harada Koki, in view of your cutting corners and commercial fraud in the performance of the contract, we have always maintained patience and restraint. , but you not only have no intention of repenting, but also blatantly insulted your cooperative customers. On behalf of the Tokai Steel Plant Complete Production Line Negotiation Group, I announced the suspension of all cooperation with Nippon Steel Co., Ltd., regarding Nippon Steel Co., Ltd.'s suspected commercial fraud and customer discrimination. , we retain the right to further pursue..."

After Liao Tingxuan finished speaking, he packed up the documents on the table and walked out of the conference room with his head held high, regardless of Harada Koki's repeated attempts to stay.

However, Yang Mo and Lin Xi dutifully took the negotiation record, grabbed Harada Koki's sleeve, and asked him to sign. Harada Koki, who was eager to chase Liao Tingxuan, casually browsed the negotiation record and saw that there were no major discrepancies. He hurriedly signed and chased out.

After chasing out the gate of the Nippon Steel Corporation headquarters, Liao Tingxuan was nowhere to be seen, so Harada Koki had to go back angrily to recover.

Returning to the Oriental Hotel where she was staying, Lin Xi immediately made an international long-distance call to her father, Lin Jianshan, and briefly described the progress of the case...

Lin Jianshan didn't dare to neglect, and quickly discussed the flight to Tokyo with Li Yaozu.

Regardless of the value of the case, the sensational level of this commercial fraud case is enough to make Tsingshan Law Firm a world-renowned law firm. Moreover, once this case is won, the hidden dividends behind it will be unimaginable. Tsingshan Law Firm can use this to compete with The mainland government has established a good cooperative relationship.

Yang Mo also fired a series of combination punches intensively...
