“That’s how it is.”

Cui Yongfeng began to patiently explain to Hasegawa Yuto:

"We, Qin Chong, are currently interested in taking on a rolling mill production line. I cannot disclose which company it belongs to. We have encountered many difficulties in the design process. Our traditional rolling mill design methods cannot be recognized by customers, and we have not mastered the modern rolling mill design methods.

The leader was very dissatisfied with our situation and asked us to solve these problems immediately. But Mr. Xu, including General Manager Xu, did not know how to solve these problems. We obtained a full set of mill drawings from West Germany through the rolling mill introduction project of Nanjiang Steel Plant. However, without anyone's guidance, it is still very difficult for us to master these technologies independently."

"What do you mean?" asked Hasey Yuto.

Cui Yongfeng said: "I plan to give a suggestion to General Engineer Xu and our superiors, and use the patents in our hands as exchange for the Sanli Steel Institute to provide us with full guidance and help us complete the construction of this production line."

"Be more specific, how do you need guidance?" Yuto Hasea asked.

Cui Yongfeng said: "My idea is that we will first send some technicians to Sanli to participate in your existing mill design work and learn your design experience. Then, we will ask Sanli to send engineers to our Qin Chonglai to design our production line together until it is completed. This may involve some Sanli's unique design patents. Of course, they are all small patents that are worthless. Sanli can be authorized to us. To the outside world, it is better to exchange patents with us, and our leaders will believe it."

"Hiss..." Yuuki Hasea took a breath and cursed in his heart, "Oh, what are small patents that are worthless? There are thousands of patents in mill design. Among them, patents involving the overall design idea are not less valuable than those of your patents. The small patents at the edges and corners are also of great value. In just one sentence, Sanli will take out all the design patents and exchange them with you, and it seems that it is just a big deal."

"After this, we also need Sanli to provide some help in the specific manufacturing process. Especially in large-scale casting, special welding, and precision machine tool processing, we still have some shortcomings. Sanli can arrange some opportunities for us to let our workers learn these manufacturing processes at Sanli so that they can complete the manufacturing of this rolling mill after they come back. As long as the rolling mill can be manufactured, the leaders will look good on their faces, patent licensing fees and other things, they will not care about it." Cui Yongfeng said lightly.

"Isn't this your negotiation request?" Hasey Yutsuhiro asked with a flash of his mind and stared at Cui Yongfeng.

Cui Yongfeng admitted: "This is my own negotiating requirement. Because if I do this, I can become the deputy chief engineer of this project, which will be beneficial for me to raise positions and salary. If I sell the patent, I can't even get a penny of bonus."

"This is just your personal thought?" Hasey Yu was stunned by Cui Yongfeng. He didn't know which sentence was true or which sentence was false.

Cui Yongfeng said: "So far, this idea only exists in my mind. If you can agree to my conditions, I will find a way to convince our leaders to accept this plan. Do you know that our leaders have no idea about the technical gap between China and Japan, and they thought that they could create the rolling mill with our own abilities."

"But this condition is even more disadvantageous to us!" said Yuto Hasea. "According to your plan, we have to come up with much more than your patents. There are thousands of unique design patents in our Sanli alone, as well as craftsmanship patents. Today during the day, we proposed to exchange 2 patents for you, but in the end, we didn't agree on this plan. And your plan is to exchange 1 of you for us."

Cui Yongfeng said disdainfully: "Two items are exchanged for one item, you're so embarrassed to say it. Although your patents are large, they are all outdated. If you don't want to change them, Clinz will also be willing to change them. As you mentioned, argon arc welding process, in addition to the companies that do rolling mills, there are companies in other industries that can do it. How much can your processes be worth? Besides, your investment in developing these technologies has long been recovered. Now copy one for us. You have no cost. Why not do it?"

"You think so beautifully. We will never agree to such an exchange. Mr. Cui, I can see that you are not trying to cooperate with us at all, but want to deceive us and let us promise you better conditions." Yuto Hasegawa said.

"Is that true?" Cui Yongfeng sneered, "What are the benefits of doing this? The success or failure of the negotiation has nothing to do with us little engineers. Why should I see if you don't want the benefits you give and deliberately deceive you? Is the plan I mentioned possible? You can think about it yourself. I don't like asking for help by nature. If you don't want to, then you will get over it."

As he said that, Cui Yongfeng stood up, said "goodbye" and walked out. Hasey Yu couldn't guess whether Cui Yongfeng's words were true or not, so he wouldn't let him leave like this. He quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Cui, don't be excited. We can talk about some conditions again."

Cui Yongfeng sat back on the seat half-swinging and half-stood. Hasegawa Yu didn't dare to question his sincerity anymore, but he continued to think about it from some details. The two chatted for nearly an hour and reached some preliminary intentions:

Hasegawa Yu will report the plan proposed by Cui Yongfeng to the company, and the company will determine whether it is acceptable and what conditions to accept it. If Sanli Steel believes that this method is feasible, Cui Yongfeng will be responsible for persuading Xu Wenliang and other Chinese officials to allow them to agree to the transaction. In exchange, Sanli Steel will pay Cui Yongfeng a hard work fee of 100 million yen. Cui Yongfeng will ask friends overseas to help open a Swiss bank account in the next two days, and Sanli will remit the money to that account.

In addition, Hasegawa Yuki also promised to win the opportunity for Cui Yongfeng to go to Japan for inspection, help Cui Yongfeng buy Japanese home appliances, etc. These requirements were insignificant for Sanli. Hasegawa Yuki agreed without even a single stumble.

When Cui Yongfeng came out of Hasegawa Yuto's room with a large bag of Japanese gifts, Guo Peiyuan had already left in advance. Hasegawa Yuto gave Cui Yongfeng a thick stack of yen, saying that it was for a taxi for Cui Yongfeng. Cui Yongfeng pretended to be greedy, accepted the money, bowed to each other with Hasegawa Yuto, and then left the hotel.

After leaving the hotel, Cui Yongfeng realized that the night was already deep, there was no trace of people on the street, and the bus had been shut down. There was a taxi in front of the hotel where he was located, but Cui Yongfeng was reluctant to call a taxi. He sighed, moved his legs, and walked towards the guesthouse where he lived.

It took several kilometers to walk. When he walked into the room, Xu Wenliang had already woken up after sleeping. When he saw Cui Yongfeng enter the door, he was a little surprised and asked, "Why did you come back? What time is it now?"

"It's three:20." Cui Yongfeng looked at his watch and said with a wry smile.

"Where have you been?" Xu Wenliang said, "You turn on the lights, it's dark, don't knock it."

That is, Xu Wenliang is of high level, and he can enjoy the treatment of a double room in a hotel. If someone else is on a business trip, he can only stay in a four-person room or an eight-person room. Then Cui Yongfeng will inevitably disturb others when he comes back so late. Cui Yongfeng turned on the lights, Xu Wenliang sat up in his clothes. Seeing Cui Yongfeng put a bag of colorful things on the table, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Have you gone to buy something? So late, is there any shop open?"

"I came back from Yuto Hasegawa. This is a gift from the Japanese," Cui Yongfeng said.

"You are going to see Hasegawa Yudu!" Xu Wenliang was really shocked this time. He stared at Cui Yongfeng and asked, "What are you doing to meet him? Also, why did he give you so many gifts? You didn't leak any news to them, right? When you are going to meet foreign guests, why didn't you ask the organization for instructions!"

This series of questions made Cui Yongfeng unable to resist, and he didn't know which one to answer first. He sat down, waved his hand to Xu Wenliang, and said, "Teacher Xu, don't be anxious first, listen to my explanation. Don't worry, I have been educated by the Party for many years and will not sell out national interests. You can rest assured that this is."

Xu Wenliang was a little calmer when he heard Cui Yongfeng's words. Xu Wenliang was still a little confident about the character of this student and subordinate. However, Cui Yongfeng went to see foreign guests secretly in the middle of the night and brought back a bunch of valuable gifts. The nature of this kind of thing was very bad, and he had to listen to Cui Yongfeng's explanation.

Cui Yongfeng reached out and took out a stack of yen from his pocket, put it in front of Xu Wenliang, and said, "This is the money he called me for a taxi when I came out of Hasegawa Yuto. I didn't use this money, I came back all the way. I will hand over this money to the organization tomorrow, and I will not intercept a penny."

"So much, how much does it cost?" Xu Wenliang picked up the stack of yen and flipped through it. Seeing that it was full of "0", he felt dizzy.

"I calculated that this is 200,000 yen, which is nearly 1,500 yuan." Cui Yongfeng said lightly.

"Why did he give you so much money? How much is this money enough to call for a taxi?" Xu Wenliang said.

Cui Yongfeng smiled and said, "Teacher Xu, this is quite a small amount. Hasegawa Yu even asked me to help them do things. After the promise was done, I would give me 100 million yen."

"Did you agree?" Xu Wenliang asked in disbelief.

"Agree." Cui Yongfeng replied relaxedly.
