"Ignore her, let's continue talking about our business." Mr. Takahashi spoke faster.
"We must place the order with the tea factory. We cannot let the reception team get suspicious of us. After placing the order with the tea factory, I will go to the silk factory and you go to their ceramic factory."
"Mr. Tanaka, you have seen it, right? The people in this country are naive and easy to deceive. They will be more enthusiastic and trust us more if we receive orders from the tea factory. They will definitely believe that the purpose of our visit is to understand their products and place an order."
"You can pretend to be interested in the ceramic production process at the ceramic factory, visit the production as a way to enter their production department, and then use orders as an inducement to obtain information about the ceramic factory's exhibits at the industrial exhibition in advance, and obtain process technology information at the same time."
"After you get these materials, you will place an order immediately, directly for $300,000, and then send these materials to me as soon as possible. I will take the materials and return to China as a matter of urgency for the company. After I return, I will apply for relevant patents as soon as possible under my name for the ceramic factory."
Mr. Takahashi said he was very excited. "As long as the patent application is successful, all ceramic orders from the China Industrial Exhibition will be invalidated. Not only will they have to pay our high penalty, but this venue will become ours exclusively!"
"If things go well, maybe our plan will succeed before the end of the China Industrial Exhibition!"
The kettle was almost full. Qiao Xinyi heard people calling Mr. Takahashi and Mr. Tanaka. Mrs. Cui responded and ran over to deal with it. She also tried to stop people to buy more time for the people who were talking here.
Qiao Xinyi listened for a few more seconds, and when the kettle was about to be full, she stopped adding water and quickly unscrewed the lid. Even though the two were still whispering, she turned around, pinched her nose, glared at them fiercely, and then walked away without lingering, holding the kettle.
Qiao Xinyi didn't hide her glare, and the reception staff who had come over also saw it. They said sorry to Qiao Xinyi in a low voice, feeling embarrassed. When they saw that Qiao Xinyi left without saying anything, they continued to look for the two people.
Five minutes later, Qiao Xinyi returned to the door of the carriage where she was sitting. Everyone had already gone back into the carriage, except Yun Xia, who was still standing at the door, staring at her watch.
"No need to look at it. I'll be back soon. Please help me take the kettle in. I'll go find Secretary Zhang." Qiao Xinyi covered Yun Xia's watch. This girl looked at the time so seriously that she didn't even notice that she was back.
Secretary Zhang's carriage was the first two. When Qiao Xinyi passed by, the door was open. Engineers Yun and Zhou were also there, discussing an unimportant topic.
"Qiao Xinyi, are you coming to visit?" Yun Gong waved at Qiao Xinyi. "Come and do some math problems to relax your brain."
"No." Qiao Xinyi walked in, looked outside and closed the door.
As soon as they saw her action, Secretary Zhang and the others knew that she had something important to say. Secretary Zhang's secretary quickly stood up and made room for Qiao Xinyi to sit.
"It's okay, I can just stand." Qiao Xinyi waved her hand.
This is not a desk, and she is sitting on someone else's bed and she is not talking face to face with Secretary Zhang and the others. It is a strange way to discuss business.
Besides, Qiao Xinyi doesn't like sitting on other people's beds.
"Secretary Zhang, when I went to get water just now, I met two Chinese people. They were originally accompanied by a reception team. The two people brought their translator and deliberately avoided the working group to find a place to talk quietly."
"Yunxia just told us about this. Those two Chinese people were smoking. These foreign friends are really uncultured." Mr. Zhou asked, "Yunxia said you went back again. What are you doing?"
"Because they deliberately avoided the reception team, I wondered if I could go back and listen to what they had to say. The more sneaky they were, the more I suspected they were up to something." Qiao Xinyi said
"I just went back to Taiwan. They thought I couldn't understand Taiwan. They couldn't find another suitable place to talk. They seemed to be worried that they couldn't find another time, so they didn't avoid me."
"Translator Qiao, do you understand Chinese?" Yun Gong gave Qiao Xinyi a thumbs up. "I can't even find a new word to praise you."
"You can praise me slowly later. Let's talk business first." Secretary Zhang asked with a smile, "What do you think you are listening to?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to see her as soon as he got back, and even closed the door after entering.
Qiao Xinyi nodded and said, "I heard something very important."
"Those two Japanese call each other Mr. Takahashi and Mr. Tanaka. They must be Japanese businessmen who are plotting to steal our country's ceramic craftsmanship.
They want to steal the ceramic technology of our country's ceramic factories to apply for a patent, then use this patent to snatch our country's ceramic orders, and also ask our ceramic factories to pay high compensation. ”
After Qiao Xinyi finished speaking, she thought she had to explain the patent issue to the three people, but Secretary Zhang and the other two obviously knew the significance of patents, so they were all stunned.
"It's patent again." Secretary Zhang pinched his brows, "I just heard of this term in the past few days."
"Powerful countries like Europe and the United States attach great importance to protection in this area. They apply for patents for all their inventions, but our country has almost no such awareness." Yun Gong looked at Secretary Zhang.
"I heard that two merchants recently came to our country in advance. The reception team in Beijing started the reception in advance and is taking the two merchants to visit some factories in the south. They are very interested in our country's tea, silk and ceramics."
Secretary Zhang said, "Qiao Xinyi should have met these two businessmen."
"Yes! It's them!" Qiao Xinyi nodded. "Mr. Takahashi and Mr. Tanaka said that they must place an order at the tea factory. After visiting the tea factory, one of them went to the silk factory and the other went to the ceramic factory. They said that they would act separately so as not to arouse suspicion from the reception team."
"Mr. Takahashi asked Mr. Tanaka to steal the information about the ceramic factory's exhibits at the industrial exhibition and the ceramic firing process. After he succeeded, he gave the information to Mr. Takahashi, and Mr. Tanaka placed an order of $300,000 with the factory. Then Mr. Takahashi immediately returned to Japan to apply for a patent."
"I guess Mr. Takahashi and his team are veterans in this area, so Mr. Takahashi said that if things go well, they can apply for the patent after our industrial exhibition, and then all our orders from the industrial exhibition will be invalidated. They can also ask us to pay liquidated damages based on the orders from our factory."
After Qiao Xinyi said this, Secretary Zhang and the others understood.
If Mr. Takahashi gets the patent, the factory will not be able to continue producing those ceramics. Production would be an infringement, and infringement would result in huge compensation.
However, the factory has already signed the order with Mr. Tanaka and the order from the industrial exhibition, and if the goods cannot be delivered on time, compensation will still be required.
