This time Lou Hongyi learned about the Yamada Co., Ltd. through the Matsushima family. Regarding this situation, Lou Hongyi just told Du Fei.
This is also a factor that makes Du Fei suspicious.
After handing the matter over to Luo Zhengming, Du Fei simply didn't think much about it. He believed in Luo Zhengming and also believed in the abilities of his comrades abroad.
Sure enough, a few days later, Du Fei received a call from Luo Zhengming and asked him for an interview. When Du Fei heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Although he had a bad premonition, Du Fei felt lucky and hoped that his worries were unfounded. Now it seems that it is not that simple.
Otherwise Luo Zhengming would not ask to meet.
Du Fei drove to Luo Zhengming's office.
"Luo Chu, what's going on?" Du Fei asked as soon as he entered the room.
Luo Zhengming was wearing a dark gray tunic suit, with his hair cut short to reveal a shiny top of his head. "Manager Du, sit down and talk." Luo Zhengming pointed to the sofa next to him. .??.
Du Fei sat down patiently and listened to Luo Zhengming describe the information fed back from Japan.
After about twenty minutes, Du Fei frowned and said in a deep voice, "So, there is indeed something wrong with Yamada Co., Ltd.!"
Luo Zhengming nodded and said, "According to the information currently available, this machinery factory does have a batch of West German machine tools, but they have already been mortgaged to the bank."
Du Fei thought silently.
Luo Zhengming said that Akio Yamada, the president of Yamada Co., Ltd., owed huge gambling debts. In order to deal with the Yamaguchi group behind the casino, he mortgaged the factory a long time ago.
Now he wants to sell the factory to Lou Hongyi, obviously trying to trick foreigners. Thinking of this, Du Fei frowned even deeper.
As local tycoons, would the Songdao family know about this situation?
What's going on with Lou Hongyi? Or is it that the second son of the Lou family joined forces with the father-in-law's family to deceive his biological father? Du Fei's eyes became sinister.
"Matsushima family~" He muttered and raised his head to look at Luo Zhengming, "What's going on with this Matsushima family?"
Luo Zhengming was experienced and had indeed investigated the situation of the Matsushima family in advance and replied, "The Matsushima family is a famous family in Shikoku Island. It is currently mainly engaged in textiles, brewing and hotel industries. It belongs to the Mitsubishi Foundation among the four major conglomerates in Japan.
.The current owner of the family, Matsushima Daimoto, was a director of Mitsubishi Bank."
Hearing this, Du Fei couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Although I tried to overestimate the power of the Songdao family, after listening to Luo Zhengming's account, I still underestimated it.
The bank is the core of the Japanese-style consortium. The fact that Matsushima Daimoto can become a director of Mitsubishi Bank shows that he has considerable influence within the consortium.
Would such a person know the situation of a small factory right under his nose? But there was one thing that Du Fei couldn't imagine. Pass.
There are just dozens of second-hand machine tools. The reason why Du Fei pays so much attention to them is because of the special circumstances of flower cultivation, and there is no way to import them normally. Otherwise, it would not be like this at all.
But even with these dozens of machine tools, there must be another reason behind allowing a capitalist like Songdao with a big family and business to use such a shameful method.
However, Luo Zhengming could only investigate here. If he investigated further, the price would be too high. After Du Fei thanked him, he left Luo Zhengming.
Riding a motorcycle back to the unit.
Along the way, I was thinking, what is going on? Obviously, this matter is definitely not simple.
Unfortunately, we have too little effective information at the moment. I went back to the unit and thought about it for a day, but I couldn't figure it out. But one thing is for sure, there must be something wrong with Lou Hongyi.
The reason why the other party used Yamada Co., Ltd.'s machine tools as bait shows that they know who wants the machine tools and the significance of these machine tools. If you think about it this way, this matter will go smoothly with the other party's plan.
When Du Fei paid to buy the factory and prepared to transfer the machine tools, he was suddenly told that there would be a legal dispute. What would be the outcome? The first person to bear the brunt must be Lou Hongyi.
Thinking of this, Du Fei took out a cigarette from his pocket, flicked it, and lit the match. He thought to himself, "Isn't it aimed at me this time? Is it aimed at Lou Hongyi?"
"
But the question is, why is Lou Hongyi working for Du Fei now? Targeting Lou Hongyi is targeting Du Fei. "Who could it be?"
Du Fei exhaled a puff of smoke and couldn't help but chew the flower seeds.
After thinking for a moment, I had no idea, so I didn't want to waste my brain cells. The most important thing now was how to deal with it.
Either stop the loss in time and ask Lou Hongyi to stop directly.
Either use the trick to see who the opponent is and what his plans are. The former can avoid losses, but the latter can catch the enemy hiding in the dark. How to choose?
Du Fei sat in the office and smoked three cigarettes in a row, and finally made a decision. Stop the loss in time and don't bother.
This matter involves Dongyang and Xiangjiang, both of which are beyond our reach.
If we really want to investigate, we don't know how many resources will be consumed and even unnecessary sacrifices will be caused. Besides, things have to be prioritized.
No matter who the other party is or what their plans are.
One thing is certain, it must be an external force and cannot pose a direct threat to Du Fei.
.Otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a small act that doesn’t deserve to be put on the stage.
Du Fei's top priority now is to produce a copycat version of the T62 tank as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, Du Fei decided to ignore the minor details and take care of the most important things now. Soon, Lou Hongyi was called over.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Du Fei's face was gloomy, and his heart skipped a beat, wondering what was going on? "Manager Du?" Lou Hongyi had a very discerning eye, and he immediately put on some caution.
Du Fei said "hmm", raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and said in a deep voice, "Old Lou, as for what you said about Yamada Co., let's stop here~"
Lou Hongyi was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Du Fei continued, "People who are not from my race must have different minds, and the in-law relationship is not safe." Lou Hongyi still didn't understand that something must have happened over there in the East.
He quickly asked, "Manager Du, what's going on?"
Du Fei didn't hide anything and said directly, "I've asked the comrades over there to help investigate in the past few days. This Yamada Co., Ltd. has long been mortgaged to the bank."
Lou Hongyi's face turned pale instantly.
Of course he understands what this means.
Once a legal dispute arises, even if he takes real money, he will not be able to transport those machine tools out of the country. And it is obvious that someone set him up in this matter.
At the next moment, he thought of his second son, Lou Yuanwei.
It is impossible to say that Lou Yuanwei had no knowledge of things reaching this stage.
It turned out that Lou Hongyi felt that although Lou Yuanwei's ability was average, he was more stable and responsible than his elder brother. Unexpectedly, his own son actually cooperated with an outsider to stab him in the back.
But the next moment, Lou Hongyi suddenly reacted.
Separated by mountains and rivers for more than ten years, I'm afraid he, his own father, is an outsider. Lou Hongyi couldn't help but grinned miserably, not knowing what to say when facing Du Fei.
Du Fei reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Lou, you don't have to say anything. The organization and I have absolute trust in you. Besides, no one can make mistakes without being a sage. You don't have to think too much. You will gain wisdom if you learn from it."
Lou Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his tense body. He said with a grimace, "Manager Du, thank you!" Du Fei increased his strength and patted him on the shoulder again.
Lou Hongyi is worthy of having weathered the storm. In just a few minutes, he cheered up, thought quickly, and asked carefully, "What should I do next?"
Du Fei said, "Don't rely on the Japanese for machine tools. When you go back, you can build 20 machine tools locally in Xiangjiang and send them back to me. It's best if they are produced in post-war West Germany. By the way, buy a batch of steel ingots, too."
Send them over together."
Lou Hongyi didn't know what was going on. Although Xiangjiang has developed well in recent years, it has never been able to take the lead in mechanical processing. There are no new machine tools like Yamada Co., Ltd. a few years ago.
Even if they can barely get a few, they are all more than 20 years old, and they are not advanced even in China. Du Fei may be dissatisfied in the future, so Lou Hongyi expressed his worries in advance.
Du Fei waved his hand and said
"Old Lou, just do as I say. You can release the news appropriately to the outside world. Just say that you have obtained a new machine tool through secret channels."
Lou Hongyi couldn't figure out what Du Fei meant. Even if he was bluffing, what was the point? But now that the words were said, he couldn't say much, so he could only agree.
In his heart, he secretly gritted his teeth and pretended that there was no son like Lou Yuanwei. After telling Lou Hongyi to hurry up, Du Fei sent him out.
Standing on the steps outside the gate, looking at Lou Hongyi's stooped back, I couldn't help but sigh. The betrayal of the second son this time was a major blow to the Lou family and Lou Hongyi.
But no matter what, as long as Lou Hongyi still has breath, he must continue to work.
Watching Lou Hongyi walk away, Du Fei did not go back. Instead, he rode his motorcycle and went to the Beijing Library again. He has become a frequent visitor here in the past few days.
The staff all know each other.
The staff member on duty at the front desk didn't even look at his ID. He smiled and said, "Manager Du, here we go again~" Du Fei responded with a smile and walked through the front lobby to Hongwen Building.
Get here and go up to the second floor with ease.
Du Fei had an idea in mind when he told Lou Hongyi just now. The machine tool can't be pointed outside.
It just so happened that this time I found the library, a place that has a stable supply of Blu-ray. There is no need to look for some relatively new and advanced machine tools. Just upgrade to Blu-ray directly.
As for asking Lou Hongyi to send back some steel ingots, it was used as a cover-up to upgrade the gun steel.
Du Fei knew from the beginning that the problem of materials was not easy to solve.
Special steel like gun steel, even if the formula is given to you, the steelmaking process is wrong and the temperature and heat are wrong, it still cannot be made. So Du Fei did not expect to solve the material problem through reverse research from the beginning.
We can only wait for the country's technological level to slowly catch up. As for emergencies now, we can only rely on golden fingers.
Just slightly upgrade the domestically produced gun steel and transform it into imported gun steel bought from the international black market at a high price.
This not only solves the biggest shortcoming of the tank gun, but also increases the cost when selling for takeout in the future. When sharing, the fire-fighting equipment company can take more profits.
