Material Empire

The confrontation between Qin Hai and Kishida Kunio was incomprehensible to Xiao Liu of the Foreign Affairs Office who adhered to the principle of "the guest insults me to death". Ning Zhongying followed behind them, and he understood the mystery of it.

High-frequency surfacing technology is not a profound technology, and Japan's achievements in this area are at least ten years ahead of China. But that doesn't mean China has nothing to keep secret.

Qingfeng Factory makes surfacing solder for rotary tillage blades, which contains some unique formulas researched by Qin Hai and other technicians, especially the choice of flux, which is helpful for reducing solder loss and improving the quality of the solder layer. important influence. Kunio Kishida just dipped some solder powder on his gloves in the name of inspecting the solder. If the powder is brought back to Japan by him, Japanese technicians may use this to analyze the formula and deduce some other process parameters. .

A formula of flux is not very valuable, but if every little technology is understood by the Japanese, then China will form its own unique technological advantages, which will be at a disadvantage in technological exchanges with Japan status. Qin Hai is well aware of these tricks in the technical field, so he very tactfully reminded Kunio Kishida to keep his gloves and not to do things that would embarrass everyone.

For Kishida Kunio, it is already an instinct to seize every opportunity to spy on the partner's intelligence, and he doesn't even think it is a kind of malice. When he was inspecting other companies in China, the other party almost answered his questions and responded to his requests, not to mention things like dipping some powder with gloves. I'm afraid he thinks that the binding is not exquisite enough and the handwriting is not clear enough.

However, when he stepped into Qingfeng Factory, he deeply felt Qin Hai's always hidden vigilance behind his enthusiasm. Qin Hai showed him all the things he could know, while avoiding all the things he couldn't see. He just wanted to be clever and use this method to get away a little solder powder, but Qin Hai discovered it in time, and made a deal so that everyone can get off the stage.

Now that Qin Hai has already noticed his intentions, of course Kunio Kishida will not be stubborn to the end. He was not sure if the official named Xiao Liu would support him fully if he insisted on keeping the gloves, and whether Qin Hai would be able to withstand Xiao Liu's pressure. He was very smart and did not choose to fight, because it would be too embarrassing to do so. Even if this kind of solder technology is unique, it is not worth his face to exchange.

"Mr. Qin is really a shrewd person, I admire him very much."

After handing over the gloves, Kishida Kunio said to Qin Hai with some self-deprecating attitude. As a thief, he can be regarded as an "elegant thief", so he can still maintain a calm expression when he is caught.

Qin Hai handed the gloves to the operator of the high-frequency furnace, and then said to Kunio Kishida: "The cooperation between us is still going to be long in the future. Only by being honest with each other can we get along for a long time."

"I agree with your point of view very much." Kunio Kishida bowed slightly to Qin Hai and said.

At this time, Wang Xiaochen ran back out of breath, holding a pair of white gloves in his hand. When he came to Qin Hai and Kunio Kishida, Wang Xiaochen hesitated for a moment, not knowing who would be the right person to give the gloves to.

"Give the gloves to Mr. Kishida." Qin Hai said.

Wang Xiaochen blushed and plucked up her courage, imitating Qin Hai's expression, holding the gloves to Kunio Kishida with her chest upright, and said, "Kishi...Mr. Kishida, these gloves are for you."

"Thank you for this beautiful lady." Kishida Kunio took the gloves with both hands, then took out a small paper box from his bag, held it with both hands, and bowed to Wang Xiaochen: "This is my heart, please The lady accepts it."

"This..." Wang Xiaochen didn't expect Kunio Kishida to do such a thing. He bowed to her, and she was already at a loss. When she saw the beautifully packaged small box, she didn't know what was in it. How dare she accept.

"No, no, no, I can't accept your gift. I didn't do anything." Wang Xiaochen waved his hands and shook his head while talking, and eagerly cast a look of help to Qin Hai, asking Qin Hai to help her reject.

Qin Hai looked at this scene with a smile. He knew that Kunio Kishida did this not only as a courtesy, but also as an opportunity to cover up his embarrassment. He looked at Ning Zhongying again, Ning Zhongying gave him a knowing smile, Qin Hai understood what Ning Zhongying meant, stepped forward, took the box with his hand, handed it to Wang Xiaochen, and said: "Xiaochen, since Mr. Kishida insists on giving you a gift, you can accept it. Japanese friends are always very polite. If you don't accept it, he will be unhappy."

"Yes, yes, this is just a small gift, please accept it." Kunio Kishida bowed seven or eight times when he said these words.

"Then...then I would like to thank Mr. Kishida." Wang Xiaochen timidly accepted the box, his face glowing with joy.

In front of foreign guests, Wang Xiaochen was embarrassed to open the box to see what was inside. After she fled out of the work shed, she was immediately surrounded by curious female companions. Everyone chirped and coaxed Wang Xiaochen to open the box immediately to see what the foreign guests gave her.

"I guess it must be chocolate. One of my relatives visited an overseas Chinese. The foreign chocolate they brought back was delicious!"

"No, didn't you see that this box is very light, I guess it is some kind of handicraft?"

"Maybe a small purse..."

"I guess it's..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Xiaochen almost opened the packing box with trembling hands. There is a huge sponge in the box. There is a slot in the middle of the sponge. Inside is an electronic watch with a black engineering plastic shell. There are at least a dozen sets of different numbers on the dial, some of which are beating gently. Displays the current time.

"Wow! It turned out to be an electronic watch!"

"Casio's!"

"It's multi-functional. You can see that there are so many buttons on the side."

"This watch is more advanced than the best digital watch sold in Xinxin store. I guess it costs at least 500 yuan!"

Everyone's emotions were almost boiling. Everyone's tone was full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Countless people were filled with remorse in their hearts. Why didn't they appear beside the foreign guests just now? I am willing to exchange 100 pairs of work gloves for such a high-end electronic watch.

"I...I...Should I hand in this form?" Wang Xiaochen was terrified by the grade of this gift. If it's just a small gift worth more than ten dollars, she will like it for a few days. If the gift is worth tens of dollars, she will be happy for a month. However, when she heard from her partners that such an electronic watch was worth at least 500 yuan, what she felt was panic, yes, it was a deep panic.

"Xiaochen, you are so stupid. This is given to you by a foreign guest. Director Ning has seen it. Why don't you dare to accept it." The female companion beside her began to cheer her up. Although I didn't receive the gift myself, it is also a happy thing to see my partner receive the gift. And if such a gift is handed over to the factory, it will be boring to everyone. Who knows which leader will end up with this kind of handed-in gift.

"Yes, I can't hand it in. If I hand it in, it will definitely be swallowed by some leader." These are the words of the companions with an angry youth temperament. Official emotions are at work.

"What's going on?" Xiang Jiyong, the deputy director of the factory, came over. Instead of accompanying the foreign guests inside, he stayed outside to take care of other things. Seeing the commotion here, he came forward to ask.

"Director Xiang, this is a gift given to me by a foreign guest just now... I didn't want it at first, but it was... Xiao Qin helped me follow it up. By the way, Director Ning also knows about it." Wang Xiaochen put the electronic watch on Holding it in front of Xiang Jiyong, he stammered and told the story.

Xiang Jiyong picked up the watch, looked at it, nodded and said: "Well, it's really a good watch. It has a calendar and the day of the week on it. It seems that it can remember some phone numbers and so on. It's something made in Japan. pretty."

"Director Xiang, this is a gift from a foreign guest to Xiaochen, so Xiaochen should be able to keep it?" The partners nearby asked together.

"Leave it." Xiang Jiyong handed the watch back to Wang Xiaochen, and then said, "Since Director Ning knows, then you can keep it. The Japanese have plenty of money. I heard that their refrigerators are worn out. It’s nothing to give you a watch if you throw it in the trash.”

"Oh!" Everyone cheered together, "Xiaochen, put on your watch and show us."

Instigated by everyone, Wang Xiaochen nervously put the watch on her hand, fastened the rubber strap, then raised her hand with a shy expression, and let everyone watch her wearing the watch. The other girls in the factory who are the same age as Wang Xiaochen have already saved money to buy small Kun watches and wear them all day long. And Wang Xiaochen handed over half of his monthly income to his family, and even ate meals by himself, so he didn't have spare money to buy a watch.

Unexpectedly, fate takes care of the poor in this way. Finally, a foreign guest came to the factory, and the foreign guest finally gave a watch as a gift, and this gift fell into Wang Xiaochen's hands. Compared with the high-end electronic watch in her hand, the domestic mechanical watches on the wrists of other girls are simply rustic.

"Xiaochen, let's make an agreement, you must lend me to wear it once in a few days!"

"I told Xiaochen first!"

"I'm going to meet someone who was introduced to me next week, Xiaochen, and then I'll borrow your watch to shake it! If you can't buy me the same watch, I won't agree to him!"

Because of such a small electronic watch, Wang Xiaochen, who had always been as inconspicuous as an ugly duckling, instantly became a star sought after by the girls in the workshop.
