Chapter 58 The First Pot of Gold

In the last life, Li Weidong accumulated a fortune of over 100 million by doing business. In the course of decades of hard work, Li Weidong has not failed, and he has also encountered many deceptive tricks.

For example, if you get the goods without paying the balance, fake orders to cheat the quotation, get a short-selling company that wants to use empty gloves, and even pretend to be a relative of a senior official to cheat money, Li Weidong has seen all these.

There are too many intrigues in shopping malls, especially in the past ten years when the private economy first started to rise, domestic laws and regulations were not perfect, and all kinds of deception routines emerged one after another.

After experiencing so many strong winds and waves, Li Weidong naturally knows that the heart of defense is indispensable. When dealing with world-class large sums such as Tianfeng, of course, you need to keep a lot of hands. This multinational corporation is not a docile little sheep.

So at the beginning, Li Weidong didn't plan to just sell an article to Tianfeng, and he prepared a manuscript for Carraro Maintenance Manual early.

Carraro is the most popular model of Tianfeng. When Li Weidong was a trainee at RB, he repaired a lot of Carraro. He knew the common faults of Carraro well, plus the experience of writing JN162 repair manual in the Yellow River factory, let Li Weidong A hundred and ten pages of Carraro's maintenance manual will soon be written.

Of course, this Carraro Maintenance Manual is written very crudely. Tianfeng has so many world-class automotive engineers. Li Weidong didn't expect Tianfeng to use this manual to repair Carraro. This manual is just It is a cover for Li Weidong to collect money.

Selling an article and selling a book are completely different in nature.

A separate article on the accelerator pedal is targeted.

If this article is sold to Tianfeng Company, it can be considered that Tianfeng Company spent hush money to shut up Li Weidong, which is equivalent to Tianfeng Company’s public relations expenses.

From another perspective, it can also be said that Li Weidong took 25 million yen from Tianfeng by virtue of a design flaw in the accelerator pedal, which is no different from extortion.

Selling the whole book is different. It belongs to the copyright transfer of literary works, which is equivalent to charging a fee, which is completely legal.

As for the article on the failure of the accelerator pedal, it has also become part of the content of the book and is not targeted.

Writing a book on car repairs, some of which is to introduce the cause of a certain failure, is equivalent to medical books introducing causes, and math books introducing theorems, which is a matter of course.

This is like a paparazzi taking a photo of a celebrity cheating, and then taking the photo to find the celebrity to blackmail money, which is obviously an act of extortion.

And if this paparazzi publishes a book about photography skills, and inadvertently puts the photos of celebrities who are derailed as an example, at most it is an infringement of the celebrity's portrait rights, not extortion.

It can be said that Li Weidong used this method to turn the 25 million yen into legal income, at least in name, and at the same time, it also prevented Tianfeng from coming into trouble again.

Kato Masayuki did not expect that Li Weidong actually had such a small trick. When he saw the Literary Works Transfer Authorization Agreement and the manuscript of the Carraro Maintenance Manual, he knew that the follow-up methods to deal with Li Weidong had already been used. Totally useless.

The article on the faulty accelerator pedal is only part of the Carraro Repair Manual, and it is legal to publish a book on car repairs in any country.

Tianfeng can't sue Li Weidong for extortion just because the reason for the failure is analyzed in the maintenance manual. It is normal to analyze the cause of the failure in the maintenance manual of the car!

After realizing this, Kato Masayuki absolutely didn't want to sign the Literary Works Transfer Authorization Agreement. Once this contract was signed, it would be useless to call the police and seek pressure from the embassy. Li Weidong's 25 million days Yuan,

It also washes away instantly.

Li Weidong's attitude is very clear. If he does not sign this Literary Works Transfer License Agreement, Li Weidong will not do business with Tianfeng Company. Especially when Li Weidong mentioned the words extortion, Kato Masayuki had realized that Minister Xiangshan's plan had failed.

What should I do? Sign or not? If you don't sign, you won't be able to keep Li Weidong's mouth shut. But if you sign, how should you explain it to Minister Xiangshan! Kato Masayuki was caught in a conflict.

Li Weidong seemed to see Kato's concerns, he said: Mr. Kato, for Tianfeng, 25 million yen is just a drop in the bucket, and 25 million yen can buy the copyright of a Carraro maintenance manual. , is definitely worth the money, and Tianfeng does not lose money in this transaction.

Kato Masayuki was silent, but he also knew that Tianfeng did not lose money by paying 25 million yen for the failure of the accelerator pedal to settle the matter.

But I gave away 25 million yen in vain, and I felt panic in my heart!

Li Weidong continued to persuade: Mr. Kato, no matter what instructions your boss gives you, the specific executor of this matter is you. The work that belongs to you, if you successfully complete it, may not be rewarded, but At least you won't be punished, but if you screw up...

Li Weidong smiled deliberately, and then said: I have heard a sentence that is most appropriate to describe the workplace of RB. The credit of the subordinates is the credit of the boss, and the fault of the boss is the fault of the subordinates!

Masayuki Kato's body shook violently, and the famous words in Naoki Hansawa instantly resonated with Masayuki Kato.

In RB's workplace culture, the middle layer of the company is the air bag and the back-up man. As a workplace old fritter in his early 40s, Kato Masayuki feels the same way.

Li Weidong is right. Although Minister Xiang Shan gave instructions, the specific executor is me. If things are done, Li Sang will be sent to prison. Minister Xiang Shan can go to the executive officer to ask for credit; Smashed, the matter of the accelerator pedal is exposed, and Minister Xiangshan will definitely let me take the blame!

Thinking of this, Masayuki Kato finally made a decision.

Li Sang, bring the contract here, I want to read it carefully! Kato Masaaki said.

Li Weidong handed the contract to Masayuki Kato, and said at the same time, Mr. Kato, if you feel that signing this contract is difficult for you to explain, I can provide you with a piece of information and let you go back and explain.

What information? Kato Masayuki asked immediately.

Mr. Kato, in fact, Jinmen Automobile Factory has no intention of establishing a joint venture with Tianfeng Motors. You are just wasting time to investigate here. Li Weidong said.

Why do you say that? I saw the officials of your foreign trade department, and I really hope to facilitate this cooperation. Kato asked in confusion.

Li Weidong didn't answer, but instead handed the pen to Masataka Kato.

At this point, Kato can't sign it or not.

So Kato Masayuki signed the contract, and Li Weidong also accepted the three cashier's checks.

With 25 million yen in hand, and finally got the first pot of gold, Li Weidong was very happy.

Li Sang, can you tell me the truth of the matter now? Kato Zhengyue asked.

Of course the foreign trade department wants to cooperate with Tianfeng Automobile, but the Jinmen Automobile Factory is not willing. Mr. Kato, you must know that the foreign trade department does not have the jurisdiction of the Jinmen Automobile Factory. Li Weidong replied.

What's going on? Li Sang, please tell me the truth. Please. Kato Masayuki said, bowing to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong did not stop Kato Masayuki's etiquette. After Kato Masayuki finished his bow, Li Weidong said, Mr. Kato, you should know that Jinmen Automobile cooperated with Osaka's Daihatsu Motor and introduced a K-car, right?

The K-car in Li Weidong's mouth refers to the Daihatsu van, a light van, which is called K-car in RB.

Masako Kato nodded, indicating that he knew about the Daihatsu van.

Li Weidong went on to say, Has Mr. Kato heard that Daihatsu has a model called Charade?
