673 All the pictures
This time, the Japanese side sent top engineers from the front line, and Hengdian came with a bidding team. In fact, they are basically members of the R&D team. This evaluation has many similarities with future bid evaluations, especially IEC experts. It is very meaningful to get in touch with the personality characteristics in advance, and to care about the technology. Of course, this is a training to face the future Beimo Automation bid evaluation.
As for this experiment, it is of great importance. With the participation of IEC experts, the Academy of Electrical Sciences cannot fall into the show. Vice President Hu Haitao personally served as the team leader, Xiong Dalin served as the deputy team leader, and several responsive experts from the society and relevant engineers from the Academy of Electrical Sciences formed a luxurious evaluation team.
If Zhang Yifu is the decision, it might be the IEC experts who will simply evaluate it, because the lineup is all their own. After the evaluation, Mitsubishi must have made some comments, but considering political factors and the policy of treating everyone equally in the future, the Academy of Electrical Sciences should indeed be the host.
Several people from several parties introduced each other to each other. The two IEC experts who came here were naturally the protagonists. One thing is interesting is that most of the members of these academic organizations and standardization institutions are not full-time. They are in the same situation as Chang Jiang and Chen Yanrui, and have their own work, but they only participate when needed.
The two experts who came this time, one was an automation engineer at Siemens, and the other was the deputy chief engineer of AES Power Company in the United States. According to Jia Luansong, these two were the IEC experts who were most active in the bid evaluation work of Beimo. It is obvious that it is not so keen on the development of China's automation, but rather that their company is keen on the Chinese market.
Needless to say, AES is really a tough guy. The power and electrical industry are relatively traditional, and they all have a certain monopoly. Most of the ones that can gain a foothold are old companies, while AES is different. Although it was established in 1981, it has developed rapidly. In more than ten years, it has become the world's largest independent power company. That is, a power company that is not responsible for the power grid and is only specialized in power generation.
The most funny time is when everyone stands together. It is not the difference between height, shortness, fatness, and thinness, but the difference between age.
Siemens engineer Schroder was about forty years old, with dense hair and silver-edged glasses, and he didn't look very old. AES deputy chief engineer Thomas was even more overdoing, only 32 years old! He was full of curiosity about everything around him!
It is really a kind of indescribable funny to supervise the middle-aged and elderly evaluation team by these two relatively young foreigners.
What was even more unexpected was that they took the initiative to show friendship to Zhang Yifu. Schroeder said that he heard from his colleagues about the trouble of Beimo bidding and handled it amazingly. Although Siemens did not win the bid, he agreed with the result very much. Thomas was very curious about Chinese products because in his impression, it seemed that even personal computers were rare here, and he really didn't know how to protect the microcomputer.
Seeing the two of them exchanging business cards with Zhang Yifu enthusiastically, completely neglecting themselves. Okamoto was not happy: "Why did IEC send such two people?"
Odagiri quickly replied: "This is all invitation and voluntary, and the official IEC has not assigned it."
"We should be asked to set the invitation list. These two people are too unprofessional." Okamoto cursed inwardly.
"Yes. We have mentioned to Hengdian and invited experts together. But Hengdian did not agree. They believed that following international standards rather than Chinese standards is a huge concession." Odagiri advised, "It's okay Okamoto, these two people represent their companies at the same time. They know that we don't have a market to give them companies, but China has them, so it is understandable that they express some enthusiasm. This does not mean that they will neglect their duties during the evaluation."
Joe Odagiri secretly pointed at Schroeder: "Especially that, he is one of the experts involved in drafting this set of international standards. He cannot give up his professional ethics in order to sell a private Chinese enterprise."
"I hope." Okamoto snorted inwardly, "Our company people have also participated in the formulation of standards. This time, we must let Zhang Yifu understand the fundamental difference between the standards we set and his product level."
"Yes, as long as you follow international standards, you will not suffer any loss."
"After the results are announced, please submit a boot check at an appropriate time." Okamoto continued, "Although they will not agree, we must mention it. If they retreat, it means they have a default."
"I'm just afraid that even if you agree, you can't ban the sale of this product." Oda Choi sighed, "If this is in Japan, you can sue and sanction..."
"Yes, China despises intellectual property rights too much, but it is not completely fruitless. Let IEC people see clearly the attitude and professional ethics of Chinese people towards intellectual property rights. In the subsequent cooperation projects, we have much greater advantages."
"Are you talking about Beimo Automation?"
Okamoto said in a deep voice: "We have put in such a great effort to open up the situation in one aspect and in some way. There are some restrictions on China's import policies, so our current policy has also changed, and we will follow the joint venture path they like."
"But we, Heshen, is it only a technical cooperation and there is no joint venture?"
"I'll know after I get the bid." Okamoto glanced at Zhang Yifu, who was proud and fluent in his newly learned English. "This person is very troublesome and obviously hostile to us. Fortunately, he left the government agency and broke his arms. This time he couldn't be lenient."
"Yes, all the Chinese cadres who had a good relationship with us lost their power, and Zhang Yifu was indeed on the opposite side of them, that is, our opposite side."
"You have known him for a long time. Have you not been in public relations for so long?" Okamoto looked at Oda Choi with some dissatisfaction.
"This person... has no interest in flirting with small profits and shallow compliments. When we were in Tokyo, we arranged for night drinks, but we didn't go."
"What a trouble."
Since he did not invite a full-time translator and the Academy of Electrical Sciences did not have a full-time translator, at the evaluation launch meeting, Zhang Yifu recommended himself and sat next to two experts as a guest-starter for the translator.
It was said to be a translation, but in fact, what Hu Haitao said for 5 minutes, Zhang Yifu basically summarized in one sentence.
"He is welcoming you, just smile and show your friendship."
"He was surprised to introduce the progress of China's microcomputers."
