The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 370 Not Exposing the Truth
Liu Hua added fuel to the fire: "Don't you want to know how powerful passive phased array radar is in actual combat, especially when fighting against the great United States?"

This statement had a particularly strong inflammatory effect, and Ma Shanli was filled with enthusiasm. To be honest, in recent years, the Navy has also used passive phased array radar to compete with the United States in the south.

But it was just a demonstration. As soldiers, they still wanted to know what the effect would be if their weapons were used in real combat.

"I'll go back and report this matter."

As Ma Shan was about to leave, Liu Hua called him back: "Don't forget to remind them, I told you, the first wave of attacks by the Americans will definitely be to take down their radar."

"I understand," Ma Shan said with a smile. "You're digging a pit for the Americans, aren't you?"

"It wasn't an evenly matched battle to begin with. The Americans were basically just playing a little game. I had to make it a bit more difficult for them, didn't I?"

After Ma Shan left, Liu Hua continued to tinker with his 3D printer. Liu Hua explained the principles of the 3D printer to the students, but they only vaguely understood it.

He then realized that 3D printers were not just a semiconductor matter, and his three apprentices were semiconductor professionals; they wouldn't know anything else if he asked them.

Liu Hua sighed: "I originally wanted you to delve into this topic, but that won't work. I'll think of a new topic for you."

"No, teacher, there's a computer part here, and we'll be in charge of that part."

"Useless." Liu Hua said dismissively, "What profound meaning could there be in the computer part? My student can't be so mediocre."

The three students stuck out their tongues, whether out of embarrassment or because they thought the teacher was too arrogant.

The company's two sales directors, who had been away on business for over a month, have finally returned.

Zhou Rongzu took out a contract: "Boss, I'm really sorry, Nokia only agreed to a contract for 10,000 batteries, but they said they would come to inspect at an appropriate time."

Li Zhengyao said embarrassedly, "Boss, I only got a contract for 10,000 batteries from Motorola. They didn't mention any inspection, and their words implied that they looked down on us."

"It's understandable. It's a big company, so it's right to be cautious. It's also normal to be a little arrogant."

Zhou Rongzu quickly said, "Boss, I'm planning to go to Japan. Their electronics and semiconductor industries are very advanced, and they should need a lot of these batteries."

“I went to South Korea and I heard that Four Star Corporation also manufactures mobile phones.”

"Let's take a break. This time, let's not talk about the contract, let's talk about the battery. Let's invite them over and let them see for themselves."

Surprisingly, the electronics company from Japan didn't come, but two familiar faces did: the one from Honda and the one from Yamaha.

This time, Liu Hua didn't treat them to stir-fried green peppers and dried tofu. Instead, he took them to Sha Zhu's private restaurant. After all, these two businesses had brought Liu Hua a lot of profit over the years, so he had to make sure they were well-fed.

"Gentlemen, our contracts haven't expired yet, and you're already in such a hurry to renew them?"

“Mr. Liu, our two companies would like to jointly invest in buying your patent.” “Didn’t I already refuse you once?” Liu Hua smiled and shook his head: “We are cooperating well now, don’t make me refuse you again.”

Honda Daimaru said seriously, "This time our price is fifty times higher than last time, I believe you won't refuse."

Last time they offered Liu Hua a few million, and they knew in their hearts that it was too little. So this time they offered fifty times that price, which would reach hundreds of millions. Therefore, the two of them believed that Liu Hua would not refuse them.

Unfortunately, Liu Hua shook his head again: "I still refuse you. I have to say that the vision of your two companies is quite short-sighted."

Liu Hua waved his hand and said, "Now that industry is globalized, even the great Americans buy parts from all over the world for their fighter jets. Yet you insist on manufacturing the engines yourself."

Liu Hua said dismissively, "Don't you Honda and Yamaha have any professionals in cost accounting? Why do the big American planes buy parts from you little Japan? It's because the cost is lower."

Honda Daimaru retorted, "So you mean you want me to move the engine manufacturing to China?"

The Yamaha representative nodded: "Actually, we also have this intention and are preparing to increase our investment in China."

Liu Hua shrugged helplessly: "Your vision is just like it was more than fifty years ago. You completely lack strategic vision. If you increase your investment in China, don't you need to invest money? Actually, you just need to let me do the production, and you can buy it. The price will be a fraction of what you produce locally, or even half of what you invest in China."

Liu Hua was just testing the waters; he knew these little Japanese wouldn't give in so easily.

Xiao Dongyang's consistent business practice is to take all the profitable parts himself and leave the most difficult and unprofitable parts to others.

This is why the world always prefers to leave Japan behind and take a different path.

Honda Daimaru flatly refused: "Mr. Liu, please don't bring up this suggestion again. Every product made by our Xiaodongyang company is a work of art, and we cannot tolerate the slightest flaw. I really cannot trust the craftsmanship of your Chinese country."

Liu Hua smiled dismissively: "Are you sure? Are you sure your products are works of art, without a single flaw?"

"of course."

Liu Hua shook his head dismissively: "If I didn't know you little Japanese, I might have been fooled by you, but in reality, I know your background all too well."

Liu Hua pointed at Honda Daimaru and said, "Go back and check all the test reports for your products. Considering how smoothly our cooperation went this time, I won't expose your dirty secrets this time. Just look at how much you've falsified."

Honda Daimaru certainly didn't believe Liu Hua's words. He had just entered the core of the family's decision-making, and there were some things he didn't quite understand, or rather, the people above him simply weren't going to tell him.

Lying in his hotel room that night, Honda Daimaru kept thinking about Liu Hua's words. He had initially scoffed at them, but the more he thought about them, the more he felt that they were like a curse, constantly echoing in his mind.

Honda Daimaru couldn't sleep until midnight, so he took out his satellite phone from his suitcase and dialed his confidants back home.

"Fujino, I'm giving you a task: secretly find a third-party organization to test some of our company's more well-known products."
