Chapter 1102 Equality
“Observe and supervise the whole process.” Matsui said calmly: “The main reason is that we doubt the quality of your project. According to the current mainstream progress of software development, for you We are indeed a little confused about the development time of the first phase of the font.”
“According to your documents and reports, you attributed it to the engineering management software. The development and use of software has greatly improved efficiency.”
“We need to verify this before we can believe it, so we need to browse the process documents of your engineering management software, including Design ideas, technical solutions, and original code. ”
“If the original code cannot be provided, the application is also available.”
It turned out to be waiting here! All representatives from the Chinese side understood that Japan had an attempt on China’s engineering management software.
Of course, to say that Japan is coveting it is to think too highly of itself. The Japanese people’s achievements in engineering management are also quite outstanding, and the game consoles they developed are popular all over the world.
The discipline of modern systems engineering management originated from the "Manhattan Project" of World War II and has been developed for decades. The thoughtful thing is actually not a pioneering work. The only thing worthy of praise is the realization of "softwareization" " and "networking" can complete the perfect closed loop of system engineering management and project control on the network.
It can even be truly "paperless" if desired.
Zhou Zhi is not particularly clear about what the people of the island country are looking at, but he feels that Matsui made such a big detour by using Hanwenku and agreed to make such a sacrifice, which shows that he has a very thoughtful mind. of urgency.
But Zhou Zhi was sure that they would not be able to take away any benefits, so he tapped the table twice with his fingers. It seemed that after a brief consideration, he was still undecided. He turned to Minister Hu and asked: "Minister?"
This is actually the secret code agreed upon by the two of them in advance. Minister Hu is also an actor. After pondering for a long time, he finally said: "In principle, our ministry is actually a matchmaker. The Hanwen library project is a self-developed project of several parties in Sichuan University."
"But the source code can be Providing them all shows the sincerity of your representative group. As UNIC As cooperative members of the ODE organization, we certainly hope that people with lofty ideals from all over the world will participate in the construction of this undertaking.”
“My suggestion is to follow the specific terms of participation today. Go ahead. When you go back, prepare the process documents as soon as possible; while we Then, we will provide a laboratory for our working group at the Shu University Computing Center.”
“Of course, your personnel involved in the project need to obey our arrangements and abide by our rules and regulations throughout the process. , keep the secrets that should be kept, and actively cooperate with our work.”
"Of course it should." Matsui was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the negotiations on the Mongolian District would be so difficult, but that it would be so easy to participate in the project. It seemed that the other party had been completely confused by the smoke bomb he had released, and he immediately agreed to all the conditions.
"Of course we will not ask too much of your staff and treat them differently from us." Zhou Zhi added lightly and touched Minister Hu's leather shoes again.
Minister Hu continued: "Yes, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. We Chinese are very welcome to friendly parties that are willing to cooperate as equals and make progress together."
"Equal cooperation and common progress." Matsui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Back then, our country provided your country with an interest-free loan from the World Bank and transferred a large number of modern factory buildings and equipment. When it comes to mechanical and electrical technology, I really hope your country can take the initiative to tell us this.”
This seems to be sincere, but it is actually full of sarcasm. What Matsui meant was that China was extremely poor back then. I cannot say a harsh word in front of the island country. If we really want to cooperate as equals and make progress together, then we should not obtain interest-free loans, but should follow normal commercial credit.
If you can afford it, give the interest. If you can't afford it, then you're a beggar. Naturally, your status with the donor cannot be equal. What's the point of "equal cooperation"?
Everyone here has an engineering background or is engaged in literature research. They are not very proficient in economics. For a moment, they all felt that what Matsui said was not unreasonable, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised. How could Zhou Zhi allow Matsui to succeed? He laughed out loud: "Now it seems that the leaders of your country are indeed far-sighted and prepared for danger in times of peace. It seems that they are providing interest-free loans to China, but in fact they are taking advantage of it."
"Oh?" Matsui couldn't help but sneered: "Zhou Sang , shouldn’t the most basic quality of a person be grateful?”
“Yes, we are extremely grateful to those who have helped our country.” Zhou Zhi said with a smile: “We are only here after our intention is achieved. Just chatting, Matsui-kun, you might as well listen and see if what I say makes sense.”
"Hahaha..." Matsui laughed a few times: "Then I'm all ears."
Zhou Zhi leaned back on his chair and said easily: "In the early 1980s, the U.S. fiscal deficit increased sharply. , the United States hopes that its foreign trade deficit will increase significantly. To increase the export competitiveness of products through the depreciation of the U.S. dollar and improve the U.S. balance of payments imbalance, the island countries were required to sign a currency appreciation agreement with them. "
"At that time, the island countries had replaced the United States as the world's largest creditor. country, island Products made in China flooded the world. Countless hot money poured into island countries, driving the crazy expansion of capital in island countries. Americans once exclaimed, "Island countries will buy the United States peacefully."
"Too much hot money cannot be found!" way out, so the leader of your country sets his sights on The light has been directed towards our country.”
“However, this is not free as Mr. Matsui said. We have also opened up the world’s most potential huge market to your country, which has almost become your country’s electrical appliances, machinery, A dumping ground for cars.”
"From this perspective, we are still a cooperative relationship. The interest on the loan has been earned back by you in the form of product launches and through the profits obtained in the market."
"What happens next? The Plaza Agreement was signed with the strong promotion of your country's Ministry of Finance, and the Japanese yen began to appreciate strongly."
"The appreciation of the currency can help your country expand overseas markets and establish joint ventures." Zhou Zhi sneered: "Where. Is it the best investment market? China’s GDP has doubled year after year and its economy has grown rapidly. This is the second time your country has made money.” More cost.”
“From the perspective of the nominal exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar, the yen has appreciated by more than 160% from the date the agreement was signed in February 1985 to today; from the perspective of the actual effective exchange rate of the yen, it has also appreciated One hundred percent.”
"In other words, even if we only repay the principal, the price we have to pay is twice what we paid at the beginning of the loan! Is this still the 'interest-free' that Mr. Matsui said?"
"This is not over yet. With the sharp appreciation of the yen, your country's domestic economic bubble expanded rapidly, and eventually the bursting of the real estate bubble caused the economic recession that began in 1991."
< br>"The impact of this recession on the island country is unspeakable. There is a famous saying on Wall Street, 'You will only know who is swimming naked when the tide goes out.'"
"Look at your country. In the period of capital expansion, which market is the most eye-catching among investments around the world? ”
