"It's all here......" Zheng Tao sighed, and when he was about to continue speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a short old man in a white-washed Mao suit walked in.

When I turned my head, it was Wei Guocheng, deputy minister of the First Ministry of Machinery.

"Chief!" everyone in the conference room hurriedly extinguished their cigarettes and stood up.

Wei Guocheng doesn't smoke!

"How's the negotiation with the Japanese?" asked Wei Guocheng.

"Leader, the little devil has no sincerity at all, what else can you talk about?" Luo Zhenxing complained, "I kept saying that it was to avoid the Batumi embargo, and I couldn't give us a complete set of CNC equipment...... That's a fucking fart!"

Wei Guocheng glared at Luo Zhenxing, did not speak, and did not sit down.

"Chief, we can't help it! The Japanese side is now threatening us to cancel the ......negotiations if we don't make a decision," Zheng Tao cried with a sad face.

"Anyway, we don't want second-hand equipment, if I agree to ask for it, I have to be picked up by our leaders and cramped. We are already short of funds, and we still use it to buy these garbage things......" Tan Qingyuan still said that he did not agree to cooperate.

If you want them to agree, it's no problem, they don't want second-hand equipment, just the CNC system.

"Since the Japanese side is not insincere, let's not talk about it for now. Wei Guocheng said calmly.

The responsible persons of several relevant departments are well aware that the Japanese side has been asking for prices from the very beginning.

The Chinese could not directly refuse, because the Chinese needed their technology.

Numerical control technology, which belongs to the national key development, is not only involved in the military field, but also has a wider range of uses in the civilian field.

"Chief, how can this be done, if the Japanese side is angered, they don't talk about it, and we won't get anything. The United States directly refused, and West Germany wanted to cooperate with us, but it could not bypass the supervision of Batumi, and every system and equipment of theirs was under supervision...... RB is the only way we can get it...... "Zheng Tao was anxious.

Because of this, RB talents are so coerced.

It is clear to everyone on both sides that without the RB channel, the Chinese side will hardly be able to get it.

"It used to be, but not anymore. I just received a phone call telling me that our own CNC system has been successfully researched, which is much better than the CNC system we negotiated with RB, and it is much better than the United States......" Wei Guocheng said seriously.

"Really?"

"Which unit?"

Several people asked with a look of surprise on their faces.

"When it comes to confidential units, let's not talk about it for the time being, Xiao Tan, you go back and let your leaders organize the machine tool production plant under the Fifth Machinery Department and the CNC technology-related research unit, and you must have access to personnel above the top secret level to participate......" Wei Guocheng's words made everyone stunned.

"Top secret or above?" everyone was stunned.

Then, the rest of the room wisely said goodbye and left the room.

Once top secrets, the most important state secrets, are leaked, national security and interests will suffer particularly serious damage.

Hearing this, people who are not at the level enough naturally have to leave.

What's more, above the top secret level!

"Chief, what kind of unit is it? How can there be such a high degree of secrecy? CNC technology has not reached such a level!" Seeing that everyone was gone, Zheng Tao asked.

"The level of technical secrecy is not so high, but the unit that developed this technology has such a level of secrecy. Wei Guocheng sighed. "Although the base is gradually withdrawing from the research unit, the level of secrecy is not as good as before, but it is not time to declassify, so naturally it cannot be ......."

"What unit!" Tan Qingyuan was also curious, "If I don't figure it out, I can't make a difference." ”

"Hongqi Machinery Factory at the 404 base. Wei Guocheng said with a smile.

"Where is the 404 base?" Zheng Tao asked with a frown.

He had never heard of such a unit, but he also knew that there were many units in China with a high level of secrecy, and some of them even he did not have the authority to know.

"Chief of Hongqi Machinery Factory, don't be kidding. Not long ago, they also formed a group and went to our department to ask for orders, but now they haven't left......" Tan Qingyuan knows the situation of 404, although it is only clear for a while.

Until now, the construction of 404 has not been completely completed, but the construction has been completely stopped this year.

This is a large top-secret unit involving the eight industrial departments of the country, and since the beginning of the 80s, a large number of scientific research units have been evacuated from the 404 city, which has caused a sharp reduction in the production orders of the entire 404 city, and only a small number of finishing units still have business.

There has been no money to pay salaries for several months, and there are more than 20,000 people, and their unit has sent more than 10 cadres to various departments in the capital to ask for projects and money and orders.

"Yes, although their factory has high processing technology, the first batch of CNC machine tools in China have given them a lot, but there is no research on this at all......" Luo Zhenxing also knew the situation.

Zheng Tao was even more puzzled.

"I don't know the specifics, but isn't it normal for those units to do their own projects now? Therefore, negotiations with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have been suspended. If they do make a breakthrough, talk to them about more advanced, and if they don't agree, they won't talk about it......" Wei Guocheng couldn't explain too clearly.

After all, now he doesn't know if it was really successful.

Therefore, negotiations with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries cannot be completely stopped.

Rao is heart has doubts, Tan Qingyuan and Zheng Tao can't doubt it, Wei Guocheng is a deputy minister, he can't joke with them, no, he immediately went back with doubts to report to his leader, and arranged the personnel who went to investigate.

"They feel that the negotiations cannot make progress at the moment, so they will suspend the negotiations?" Masao Yoshikawa couldn't help but wonder when he heard Saburo Inobe's report, "Didn't they always behave very eagerly before?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. I don't know what the people are having. Saburo Inobe was desperate for the negotiations to break down.

Oda Tomigen was even more surprised, "Didn't we already give them an ultimatum?"

"They said that they were studying and discussing, and that their department heads were very busy, and it might take a week before the results were available......" Saburo Ibe nodded. "This is their usual negotiation tactic. ”

When the Chinese side talks with foreign companies, if they fail to meet their psychological expectations, they often adopt the strategy of suspending the negotiations.

On the one hand, it is necessary to study options for further negotiations, and on the other hand, it is also aimed at putting pressure on the other side of the negotiations.

After all, both sides of the negotiation have their own negotiation goals.

Who would waste time and energy continuing to negotiate if they didn't want to reach a cooperation agreement?

"Since they think we will still give in, tell them that the price of each system will increase by 20% as the labor cost in China rises!" said Yoshikawa with a smile on his lips.

Oda Fugen, Saburo Inabe and others all gave a thumbs up.

Using the means of price increases to force the Chinese side, can the Chinese side calm down?

When the time comes, other conditions will be put forward to force the Chinese side to make concessions.

"Leader, RB people proposed to increase prices, and each set of CNC systems rose by 20%!" The people from the Ministry of Commerce received further requests from RB, and they couldn't help but vomit blood in anger.

The information was quickly fed back to the first and fifth machine departments.

"It's a shame that we have a unit to come out, and the RB people are forcing us to accept their harsh conditions!" Wei Guocheng looked at Luo Zhenxing, who was facing anger on the other side of the desk, and sighed.

Luo Zhenxing looked at the leader, his face was not the slightest relaxed, "Chief, what if the Hongqi Machinery Factory doesn't succeed and it's just for the project research funds?"

This is Luo Zhenxing's concern.

Even when he heard it from Wei Guocheng's mouth, he didn't have the slightest joy.

"This is indeed possible, and Zheng Yucheng of 404 has always liked to fool around!" Luo Zhenxing's worries made Wei Guocheng also worried.

"Jingle bell ......" Suddenly, the phone on Wei Guocheng's desk rang.

"Lao Wei, is the news reliable? The little devil is getting more and more excessive now, if we are cheated by Zheng Yucheng, the loss will be great......" As soon as the phone was answered, the voice of Qian Xingguo, deputy minister of the Fifth Machine Department, came out.

Zheng Yucheng, they all understand.

I'm worried that he is pinching for the sake of project funding.

"I'm also worried about this, and told him that if I have mobilized personnel in the next few days, I will go to their side together......" Wei Guocheng was a little helpless.

Everyone is forced to be anxious by the little devils.

"I don't think I'll wait, just today, I'll ask Tan Qingyuan to take a few people directly to 404, what about you?" Qian Xingguo said eagerly, "Otherwise, we will have to agree to the little devil's non-sub-demands." ”

"Okay, I'll let Luo Zhenxing prepare it right away. Wei Guocheng's heart was even more anxious.

As soon as the Chinese side proposed to suspend the negotiations, the Japanese side immediately proposed to raise prices.

Who knows what more unreasonable demands will be made a week later.

After receiving the order, Luo Zhenxing didn't have anything to clean up, just called his wife and told her that the weekend off to accompany her shopping had to be canceled and that she was going on a business trip, and then packed up her things and set off.

"The Chinese side has no objection to our price increase, and it is not even as resolute as before?" Knowing the reaction of the Chinese negotiating team, Yoshikawa Masao was even more puzzled.

"Your Excellency, have they made a breakthrough in this area? If so, it will be very difficult for us to achieve our plan. Saburo Inabe said with a frown. "It's only when they have it that they react like that. ”

"This is impossible! China's technology in this area is very poor, especially in the field of microprocessors, and it all relies on smuggling back from abroad to study ......" Oda Tomiogen looked disdainful. "If they could all figure out the numerical control system, the Soviets would have unified the earth a long time ago!"

"Oda-kun, this kind of possibility is not nothing. Although China's foundation in this regard is very poor!" Yoshikawa Masao reprimanded Oda Tomiogen with a straight face, "Chinese, you can't take it lightly. Otherwise, it will only be those who despise them who will suffer!"
