"Everyone is here..." Zheng Tao sighed. When he was about to continue speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open. An old man in a white-skinned Zhongshan suit walked in.

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

"Chief!" Everyone in the conference room hurriedly put out the cigarette and stood up.

Wei Guocheng doesn’t smoke!

"How was the negotiations with the Japanese side?" Wei Guocheng asked.

"Leader, the Japanese are not sincere at all, why are you talking about?" Luo Zhenxing complained, "I kept saying that it was to avoid the embargo of Batong and could not give us a complete set of CNC equipment... That's a fucking fart!"

Wei Guocheng glared at Luo Zhenxing, without saying anything, and did not sit down.

"Chief, isn't there anything we can do about this? The Japanese side is now threatening us. If we don't make a decision, we will cancel the negotiations..." Zheng Tao cried with a sad face.

"Anyway, we don't want second-hand equipment. If I agree to ask for it, we will have to be peeled and cramped by our leaders. We are short of funds and we are still used to buy these garbage things..." Tan Qingyuan still expressed his disagreement with the cooperation.

It’s okay to get them to agree. They don’t want second-hand equipment, just CNC systems.

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

The heads of several relevant departments knew that the Japanese side had been asking for prices from the beginning.

China cannot directly refuse because China needs their technology.

CNC technology is almost a key development in the country. It not only involves 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 angry, if they don't talk, we will get nothing. The United States directly refused. West Germany wanted to cooperate with us, but could not avoid the supervision of Batumi. Every system and every equipment of their system is under supervision... RB is the only way we get..." Zheng Tao was anxious.

Because of this, RB talents are so threatening.

Both sides know that if China loses the RB channel, it is almost impossible for China to do so.

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

"real?"

“Which unit?”

The few people asked with surprise.

"When it comes to confidentiality units, I won't talk about it for now. Xiao Tan, go back and ask your leader to organize the machine tool manufacturer and CNC technology related research units under the 5th Machinery Department. You must be able to contact personnel above the top secret level to participate..." Wei Guocheng's words made everyone confused.

"Top secret level or above?" Everyone was stunned.

Afterwards, the other people in the conference room wisely said goodbye and left the conference room.

Top secrets, the most important state secrets, will cause particularly serious damage to national security and interests once they are leaked.

When you hear this, people who are not of sufficient level will naturally have to leave.

What's more, top secret level or above!

"Chief, what unit is it? How come it is so confidential? CNC technology has not reached this level!" Zheng Tao asked when he saw that everyone had left.

"The technical confidentiality level is not so high, but the unit that has developed this technology is such a confidentiality level." Wei Guocheng sighed. "Although the base is gradually evacuating the research unit and its confidentiality level is not as good as before, it is not time to decrypt it, so naturally it is impossible..."

"What unit!" Tan Qingyuan also looked curious, "If I don't figure it out, I can't handle the job."

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

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

He has never heard of such units, but he also knows that many units with high confidentiality levels in China do not even have permission to know.

"Hongqi Machinery Factory? Chief, don't joke. Not long ago, they even formed a group to our department to ask for orders, but they haven't left now..." Tan Qingyuan knew the situation of 404, although it was only a while ago.

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

This is a large top-secret unit involving eight national industrial departments. Since 1980, a large number of scientific research units have evacuated from 404 cities, causing the production orders in the entire 404 cities to be drastically reduced, and only a small number of finishing units have business.

I have not paid for several months and there are more than 20,000 people. Their unit has sent more than a dozen cadres to various departments in the capital to ask for projects, money and orders.

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

Zheng Tao was even more confused.

"I don't know the specifics, but now those units are doing projects themselves, isn't it normal? We will only know if it's really done. So, the negotiations with Mitsubishi Heavy Industry will be temporarily suspended. If they really make a breakthrough, they will talk to them about more advanced ones. If they don't agree, they won't talk..." Wei Guocheng couldn't explain it too clearly.

After all, he doesn't know whether it has been successfully developed.

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

Even though he had doubts in his heart, Tan Qingyuan and Zheng Tao could not doubt it. Wei Guocheng, a deputy minister, could not joke with them, so he immediately went back to report to his leader with doubts and arranged for the personnel to go over for inspection.

"They feel that the negotiations cannot make progress at the moment, so the negotiations will be suspended?" Yoshikawa Masao couldn't help but wonder when he heard Saburo Ibene's report, "Didn't they always act very anxious before?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Minister. I don't know what the Chinese are planning." Saburo Ibena wished the negotiations broke down.

Oda Tomoto was even more surprised, "Didn't we have issued an ultimatum to them?"

"They said they were studying and discussing, and their leaders of various departments were very busy and it might take a week to get results..." Saburo Ine nodded. "This is their commonly used negotiation strategy."

When China negotiates with foreign companies, once it fails to meet their psychological expectations, it often adopts a strategy of suspending negotiations.

On the one hand, we study further negotiation plans, and on the other hand, we also want to put pressure on negotiating opponents.

After all, both parties in the negotiation have their own negotiating purposes.

If you don’t want to reach a cooperation agreement, who will waste time and energy continuing the negotiations?

"Since they think we will make concessions, let them know that as domestic labor costs rise, the price of each system will rise by 20%!" A smile appeared on the corner of Yoshikawa Masao's mouth.

Oda Tomoto, Saburo Ibena and others all gave thumbs up.

Can China remain calm if it uses price increases to force China?

Then we will put forward other conditions to force China to make concessions.

"Leader, RB people proposed to increase the price, and each CNC system increased by 20%!" People from the Ministry of Commerce were so angry that they vomited blood after receiving further requests from RB.

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

"It's a blessing that we have a unit that has come up with. The RB people are forcing us to accept their harsh conditions!" Wei Guocheng looked at Luo Zhenxing, who was angry opposite the desk, and sighed.

Luo Zhenxing looked at the leader with no ease on his face, "Chief, what if the Hongqi Machinery Factory is not successful, it is just for the project research funding?"

This is Luo Zhenxing’s concern.

Even if he heard it from Wei Guocheng, he had no joy at all.

"This is indeed possible, and Zheng Yucheng of 404 has always liked to mess around!" Luo Zhenxing's concerns made Wei Guocheng frown.

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

"Old Wei, is the news reliable? The Japanese are getting too far. If we are cheated by Zheng Yucheng, the losses will be huge..." As soon as the phone was answered, Qian Xingguo, deputy minister of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery, heard the voice of Qian Xingguo.

Zheng Yucheng, they all know.

I was worried that he was scrambling for project funding.

"I'm also worried about this, so I told him that I'll mobilize the personnel in the past few days and go to their side..." Wei Guocheng was a little helpless.

Everyone was forced to be forced by the Japanese.

"I think don't wait. Today, I asked Tan Qingyuan to take a few people with you directly to 404. Where is your side?" Qian Xingguo said anxiously, "Otherwise, we have to agree to the Japanese's unjust request."

"Okay, I'll let Luo Zhenxing prepare immediately." Wei Guocheng was even more anxious.

China has just proposed to suspend negotiations, and Japan immediately proposed to raise prices.

Who knows what more unreasonable requests will be made in a week?

After receiving the order, Luo Zhenxing had nothing to do. He just called his wife and told her that the weekend break would be cancelled and that he would have to go on a business trip, and then packed up and set off.

"China has not raised any objections to our price increase? It has not even been as firmly opposed as before?" After knowing the reaction of the Chinese negotiating team, Masao Yoshikawa was even more confused.

"Mr. Minister, have they made a breakthrough in research in this regard? If so, our plan will be difficult to achieve." Saburo Ineba frowned. "Only if they have it themselves, they will react like this."

"This is impossible! China's technology in this regard is very poor, especially in microprocessors, which relies entirely on smuggling back from abroad to research..." Oda Tomoto looked contemptuous. "If they could all make CNC systems, the Soviets would have unified the earth long ago!"
