The door opened, and standing outside the door was a Chinese man in his 30s. He looked a little thin and had two eyes. He looked like he was not a serious person at first glance.

"Who is Mr. Uchida?"

The Chinese asked in pretty fluent Japanese.

"It's me." Uchida Yukong replied, "Is it Mr. Guo Peiyuan introduced by Hasegun?"

The Haseki-kun Uchida mentioned is Yuto Haseki, the sales representative of Sanli Steel Institute of Japan. Because they are both selling in equipment manufacturing companies, Yuto Uchida and Yuto Haseki have a good relationship. This time, Yuto Uchida came to China with the Japanese chemical equipment delegation to inspect the outsourcing cooperation companies. Before leaving, he called Yuto Haseki and asked Yuto to introduce him to some people who could help him do some dirty work. Guo Peiyuan, the person who Haseki introduced to Yuto Uchida, was a broker.

Guo Peiyuan was originally a technician in a Beijing enterprise. He took the Japanese line because of an opportunity to receive Japanese merchants. Since then, he resigned from his unit and specialized in collecting intelligence and winning relations for Japanese enterprises. He became a professional broker. In the past, he was a comprador.

I have to say here that comprador is actually not a shameful profession. Many public relations companies in later generations also do this type of business, and some are still very prosperous. The market economy requires intermediary services. When multinational companies have newly arrived in a country to conduct business, they naturally need to find local intermediaries to help understand the market and contact customer relationships. This is all legal and reasonable. Taking money from people and eliminating disasters for people, you have to help them do things after taking money from multinational companies, which is understandable. However, if what you do is unreasonable, that is another matter.

A few years ago, because Sanli Steel Institute negotiated technical cooperation with Qinzhou Heavy Machinery Factory, Guo Peiyuan was commissioned by Hasegawa Yuto to try to bribe Qin Chong's technician Cui Yongfeng to make a profit in the negotiations. As a result, Feng Xiaochen guided Cui Yongfeng to apply for a counter-espionage plan. Not only did he not let Hasegyuto's conspiracy succeed, but he also sacked Hasegyuto a considerable commission, which became the fund for Qin Chong's technical department to buy materials and do experiments.

In that matter, Guo Peiyuan was not punished because he only did some matching work and no actual illegal acts. What he did did not actually harm the interests of the country. He was more like Jiang Gan, the stolen book, and just left some laughing stock for everyone.

Yuu Hasegawa still doesn't know that time he was fooled. He still believes that Cui Yongfeng was the insider he bribed, and Guo Peiyuan was a successful communicator. This time, Yuu Uchida asked Yuu Hasegawa to introduce several agents to him, and Yuu Hasegawa naturally recommended Guo Peiyuan.

"Mr. Hasegawa told me that he said that Mr. Uchida is his good friend and asked me to serve you. If you have any questions, please give me instructions."

After entering the house and sitting down, Guo Peiyuan exchanged a few simple greetings with Uchida Yu and got to the point. He has been working as a broker for five or six years, and now he is becoming more and more familiar with his business. However, the kind of respect he has been to foreigners in his bones is innate. Whenever he sees a foreigner, his waist will naturally be bent at an angle.

"Mine and I and some other colleagues came to China for inspection and selection of partners at the invitation of the Chinese authorities. But during our inspection, we found that the Chinese authorities issued instructions to all companies, requiring them to quote us in a unified manner. This is an act of establishing a price alliance and violating market rules. We are very angry about this. Mr. Guo, do you have any good suggestions for such a thing?" Uchida Yu said bluntly.

"I don't know much about this matter, but I think it may be because of the influence of the silk-breasted war some time ago? Chinese newspapers have severely criticized this phenomenon of mutual price reduction, and several people with weight have also spoken. I wonder if the relevant departments want to avoid this happening this time."

Guo Peiyuan is quite attentive when he is a broker. He usually pays attention to foreign trade matters in order to find some business opportunities. Yuichi Uchida said that he guessed what was going on, and at the same time he was keenly aware that his opportunity had come.

Yuuchi Uchida said: "In our Japan, the government will not interfere in market behavior. What kind of transaction price is the buyer and seller willing to reach? How can the government intervene? We came to China with sincerity to seek cooperation. We believe that China's approach is very immoral."

His words are quite good, but it is a lie to say that the Japanese government does not interfere with market behavior. The Japanese government is famous for its industrial policies around the world, but old Western countries such as the United States pay more attention to market freedom. Because of this difference in concepts, there are many frictions between Britain and the United States and Japan. Now Yuuchi is just using the words that Britain and the United States criticized Japan back then to criticize China.

Guo Peiyuan didn't have much knowledge in this area, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Uchida, don't be angry. This is how Chinese people are. Otherwise, why would they be so backward? There are so many places we need to learn from Japan. In my opinion, China will not be able to catch up with a fraction of Japan in 100 years."

"I am still optimistic about China, Mr. Guo doesn't have to be too modest." Guo Peiyuan said so embarrassed that even Yuu Uchida. Damn, can you not lick it so hard, your rectum makes you lick out of calluses.

Guo Peiyuan didn't think anything was wrong with his words. After demoting China a lot, he frowned and said, "Mr. Uchida, you know too. Those officials are very cautious when it comes to policy matters. It may be difficult to get them to change this policy."

"So, do you think there is nothing you can do?" Uchida Yu asked tentatively.

Guo Peiyuan shook his head and said, "Of course not. How could I not do what Mr. Hasse ordered, how could I not do well? My idea is that it is probably not easy to change this policy from the upper level, but there is a saying in China that there are policies above and countermeasures below. If the companies below are willing to lower prices and cooperate with you, will your goal be achieved?"

"You mean, can you convince the following companies to cooperate with us?" Yuuchi Uchida asked.

"It's up to man." Guo Peiyuan said, "Now everyone is talking about expanding corporate autonomy. Sometimes the requirements above will change when they reach the bottom. As long as they are not done too much, the upper ones will not pursue it. So, I think you can give it a try."

Yu Uchida nodded and praised: "Mr. Guo is indeed a capable person. Hase-kun solemnly recommended you to me. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the recommendation."

Guo Peiyuan felt that his bones were slimming, and he kept saying, "That's because Mr. Hase and Mr. Uchida trust me, and I'm so honored."

"So, if you want to convince the following companies to cooperate with us, how much commission will you need?" Yuu Uchida asked again.

This is the key issue. Guo Peiyuan calmed down and said, "In terms of commission, Mr. Uchida can give it to me. I don't have any special requirements. In fact, it is mainly to clear the relationship and require some fees. Now I have to do something, but it is not enough without a little lubricant."

"Lutrient?" Mineronji, who had been listening to the silent voice, couldn't help it. He thought of some undescribable things. Could it be that Guo Peiyuan used this method to clear the relationship?

"Uh..." Guo Peiyuan was embarrassed. As a senior traitor, of course he also understood some indescribable things. When he heard Minelongji's words and looked at the vulgar look in his eyes, Guo Peiyuan immediately understood what kind of misunderstanding the other party had. He quickly explained: "No, Vice President Mine, I think you may be... Uh, actually this is just a metaphor. People who do business in China all compare it like this. I mean, there needs to be a little, uh, this..."

He said as he used his hand to twist the banknotes, Mineronji realized it, and couldn't help but bury himself back on the sofa.

"Money is not a problem." Yuuchi Uchida didn't mind the misunderstandings just now. He said: "If we want to accomplish something, there is no problem with the necessary funds. What I want to know is, if we provide this part of the funds, how sure can you be to help us get things done?"

Guo Peiyuan said: "I want to know what Mr. Uchida's request is."

Yuu Uchida handed the working hours quota standard he got to Guo Peiyuan and said, "This is the working hours quota standard officially established by China. We believe that this quota is seriously overestimated. We hope that all companies can reduce the quota by 50% to 70% based on this standard. If it can be lowered, it would be even better. We will determine the commission to pay you based on the goals achieved by Mr. Guo. We have made a preliminary agreement to discuss the next company and we will pay 1 million yen. What do you think?"

1 million yen can be exchanged for US$5,000 now, and then exchanged for RMB. Even at the official price, it is nearly 20,000 yuan, not to mention the black market price. This price is very good for Guo Peiyuan. He knew that Uchida Yu also understood the market, so he did not bargain with Uchida Yu.

He opened the quota table for a while, and based on his experience in working in the company, he calculated the costs, profits, etc. of each company, and then nodded confidently and said, "Mr. Uchida, I already understand that this quota standard is indeed a bit overestimated. I am fully confident that each company will reduce the quota by about 30% based on this quota. As for the 50% or even 70%, it may take a lot of effort, especially the leaders of the relevant companies."

"Money is not a problem."

Uchida Yu smiled slightly. If they could lower the quota, they saved more than 120 million yen. Taking out a fraction of them would be enough to feed those guys, right? 19
