"Unexpected...unexpected..."

Huai Guomo screwed up the thermos cup in his hand, the expression on his face still showed some disbelief:

"In the past, I only heard that some companies in our country would do this, laundering imported goods into domestic products to meet the localization rate indicators of superior units. But now it seems that this may be based on experience obtained from outside..."

The sentence, which was half sarcastic and half humorous, broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere in the conference room.

"From another perspective, this also shows that our country's development level in the field of bearings may be higher than we imagined."

Zhang Dongxu also answered with a smile, but then changed the subject:

"It's just that, according to what Comrade Haonan just said, almost all of the profits were made by foreign companies that used OEM services. This did not make our company make money, nor did our country's automobile industry benefit from it." Cost reduction is a problem that we, especially Xinzhi’s Equipment Industry Department, need to solve in the next step.”

"Of course, we still lack experience in this area as to how to do it specifically, whether through legal procedures or other methods. We need the comrades from the Ministry of Machinery Industry to play their role."

After all, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is mainly responsible for the national defense industry. Although there were enterprises and products converted from military to civilian products in the past, they were not its main business after all.

Now that a new authority like the Equipment Industry Department has been snatched over, it is indeed a new challenge.

"The bearing products of NTN and NSK are very well-known in the industry, and their market share is not low. Even our aerospace industry has signed supplier contracts with them for many projects."

The speaker this time was Lian Jiexin, another deputy director who was newly appointed last month and is also the director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration:

"I see, after today's meeting, several of our business departments went back and asked the following to check to see if there are any similar situations. If so, we will immediately terminate the cooperation in the name of product fraud and transfer the procurement contract to Go to our domestic enterprises!”

The suggestion quickly resonated.

Although neither Luozhou nor Bingxuan is an enterprise affiliated with the Science and Technology Commission, there is absolutely no reason for the Japanese to make away with OEM money, whether from the perspective of supply chain security or from an economic perspective.

Seeing that the emotions of this paragraph were already in place, Chang Haonan began to increase the intensity:

"In fact, based on some clues we have discovered so far, it is speculated that the bearing industry may even be just the tip of the iceberg of Japanese companies' fraud."

"Are there any masters?"

Everyone who was still racking their brains to think about how to implement the operation after returning immediately raised their heads and looked at Chang Haonan again.

"We have not found any cases of re-branding of products imported from our country."

Chang Haonan said and patted another pile of materials in front of him:

“However, through random testing of samples and interviews with companies and users, we have enough reasons to suspect that many companies, including Kobe Steel, Sumitomo Metal, Mitsubishi Motors, Mitsubishi Electric, and Hitachi Chemical, have products in production. Fraudulent quality and testing data.”

If the incident between NSK and NTN just now gave everyone more of an unexpected and amusing mentality, then this wave of roll call is almost equivalent to dropping a bombshell into the rippling lake. .

Ding Gaoheng, who had not spoken much just now and whose expression had always been relatively relaxed, tensed up almost instantly and sat up straight:

"Are you... sure?"

"So many companies have problems with their products?"

Although the others didn't say it out loud, judging from their eyes and expressions, they all had the same meaning.

Those sitting in this conference room have all done some specific business work.

In everyone's mind, Japan is, after all, a mature and even relatively old industrial country.

It is understandable that there are one or two isolated cases, but this large-scale fraud in collapse methods has completely broken through their understanding of a normal industrial operation model.

"There's basically nothing wrong with that."

Chang Haonan nodded:

"Because for most industrial products, the truly reliable testing method is destructive testing, so samples can only be randomly inspected, and the operating space in this process is really too large."

"Many supply contracts last for several years or even longer, and random inspections are also carried out according to the cycle. They can make normal deliveries during the inspection period, and at other times use inferior products to top up the supply. In this way, even if something goes wrong occasionally, You can also use excuses such as work mistakes to avoid arousing widespread suspicion."

"This time we had an unplanned surprise attack, so we found out a lot of interesting results."

"If this is the case, I have to report the situation immediately."

Ding Gaoheng was already a little unable to sit still:

"Japanese companies have had very frequent business dealings with us over the years, and many of them involve major projects directly led by the top."

"Take a few examples that Xiao Chang just cited. Sumitomo Metal is a structural steel supplier for the water diversion equipment in the second phase of the Three Gorges Project, and it is a structure that will be poured into the dam body for permanent use. Mitsubishi Motors supplies a large amount of commuting equipment to the People's Liberation Army. Hitachi Chemical, the complete vehicle and parts of the command vehicle, is one of the core suppliers of integrated circuits in our country. When I was chatting with Director Song of the Science and Technology Commission a few days ago, he also said that their technology should be introduced into the newly built semiconductor industrial park in the country... …”

Seeing the anxious-looking Ding Gaoheng, Chang Haonan knew that his goal today had been achieved.

The reason why he specifically named those companies just now was because he was aware of their position in China and attracted enough attention.

Not only Ding Gaoheng's, but also those above.

After all, the scope of this matter is too wide.

Japanese companies have been working in China for more than ten years, and coupled with long-term and subtle public opinion indoctrination, the relevant interest groups behind them are even larger than the previous aviation industry.

To say that Japanese companies are committing fraud is tantamount to a collapse of faith for some people.

Therefore, if it is just the Science and Technology Commission and the family who act on the stage, there is no guarantee that they will not encounter any resistance.

"Director Ding, if we want to achieve the best results in this matter, we must take two steps and work together."

Chang Haonan's words calmed down Ding Gaoheng:

"What's your plan?"

According to his understanding of Chang Haonan, at this time, it usually means that the other party already has an idea or even a mature plan.

"On the one hand, we should conduct inspections domestically, especially on key projects, increase the intensity and frequency of random inspections of Japanese companies' products, collect and retain evidence, and if problems are found, do not alert the snake for the time being, try to delay the other party, and at the same time look for alternatives. Suppliers, try to minimize the impact on project progress."

"On the other hand, our Torch Group has recently taken over several business cooperation projects with Europe."

Chang Haonan adjusted his posture slightly and showed a smile:

"I know that the NSK Group has a branch in Stonehouse, England, that specializes in aerospace-related businesses. It is currently eager to explore the high-end market in Europe. I think that as long as there is a little guidance in the project, it will not be difficult to let Europeans go Use their products.”

"Their large-scale counterfeiting cannot only target the Chinese market. I can specifically raise the requirements for the performance of parts so that NSK cannot directly use existing products to supply, and then let the domestic bearing groups prepare in advance. The model that meets the requirements 'happens' to be launched on the node."

"At that time, whether NSK is directly counterfeiting, or like this time it purchases from our country and then resells it under the brand name, it will not be difficult to obtain evidence when the enemy is overt and we are covert."

"Wait until then, then expose all these things at once, just like the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger case, and work with the Europeans to catch them off guard!"

Having said this, he clenched one hand into a fist and knocked twice on the stack of materials on the table:

"Let's keep these things as evidence of guilt!"
