That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1147 Who is the Idiot? (In the hospital, taking a leave)
"Dingling bell~"

A shrill alarm sound woke up the sleeping Kimura Yasai.

Without even opening his eyes, he mechanically threw back the quilt and sat up from the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for half a minute before uttering a swear word in annoyance.

"@#￥￥%"

"What did you say?"

Kimura Yasai's wife, Kimura Yoshiko, came out of the kitchen and asked in surprise.

"Nothing, I said the weather is very good today."

"Today's weather"

Kimura Yoshiko looked at the sky outside the window. It was so gloomy that she couldn't say anything good about it.

"Yes! The weather is very nice today! Go wash up and get ready for breakfast!"

Yoshiko is a traditional Japanese woman. Since her husband says it is a good thing, then it must be a good thing. At least it is better than snowing or raining heavily, right?
Kimura Yasai took one look at the flavored soup his wife brought to the table and lost his appetite.

During the two years he was stationed in the flower-growing village, he became addicted to the taste of Chinese food. He rotated through breakfasts of various flavors, which had already spoiled his taste buds.

So now looking at this extremely simple Japanese breakfast, he suddenly felt it was extremely bland and his heart was filled with boredom.

Moreover, Kimura Yasai was not only tired of Japanese breakfast, but also tired of the work he had done in the past few days.

He returned to Japan to reunite with his family because of the Spring Festival holiday in mainland China.

As a staff member who is stationed overseas for a long time, this opportunity to reunite with my family is very precious.

However, because the Japanese regard New Year's Day as the most important holiday of the year and there are not many holidays for the Spring Festival, after Kimura Yazai came back, he was criticized by his boss.

"Kimura, have you forgotten why the company sent you to the Flower Planting House? We want to curb the technological development of the Light Automobile Company, what did you do?

How many cars has the Light Automobile Company produced this year? How many of our engines and gearboxes have been selected?

The company pays you such a high salary, is it just for you to travel? You still want to take a vacation now? Don't you feel ashamed when you see everyone working hard for the company? "

How could Kimura Yasai feel ashamed?
While the headquarters was celebrating the New Year, he did not take a day off at the Flower Planting House. The Flower Planting House only had one day off on New Year's Day.
Now that the flower-growing country is on holiday for the Spring Festival, do you want me to go to work according to the stupid Japanese customs again?

Don't be such a bully.

Moreover, Kimura Yasai felt even more aggrieved and angry about the fact that the first branch factory did not purchase Mitsubishi engine gearboxes.

During the more than one year he worked at the Light Automobile Company, he repeatedly suggested that the first branch adopt Mitsubishi's original powertrain, and even applied to the headquarters for a very low dumping price.

However, the first branch remained unmoved and only purchased a small amount of Mitsubishi power, but mostly purchased diesel engines equipped with Isuzu technology and low-end domestic gasoline engines.

This made Mitsubishi feel like it was "stealing a chicken but losing the rice". After all, it had agreed to sell the chassis technology in order to subsequently hold back on selling engines and gearboxes.

Seeing that the Beijing-brand commercial vehicles produced by the first branch were selling like hot cakes, Kimura Yasai had no choice but to suggest to the head office that the first branch be induced to abandon its current technology research and development mechanism through joint production or technology licensing.

Because Kimura Hachisai had already seen clearly that even if Mitsubishi sold the engine at a lower price, it would be useless because the first branch would rather lose money and give priority to using the engines produced by itself.

Kimura Yasai reported to the headquarters very seriously that if this continued, the first branch would sooner or later acquire the ability to develop the entire engine. By then, even if Mitsubishi wanted to transfer the technology, they would not want it.

Moreover, after careful analysis, Kimura Yasai believed that the flower-growing countries had a strong desire for advanced engines, and if Mitsubishi engines could be produced in the mainland, they would definitely make a lot of money.

However, the arrogant boss, Inuichiro Terauchi, ruthlessly rejected Kimura's suggestion.

"Your suggestion is stupid. Do you want me to be as stupid as you? Even if they are given only technical drawings, they cannot produce advanced and high-quality engines."

"."

In recent days, the phrase "stupid Kimura" has spread throughout the company, making Kimura Yasai feel extremely humiliated. If it weren't for the fact that Japanese employees don't easily change jobs, he would have quit long ago. "Aren't you going to have breakfast yet? You're going to be late."

Seeing that Kimura Yazai was in a daze, Kimura's wife had to kindly remind him.

"I have no appetite. I'm leaving now."

Kimura Yasai stood up and walked out with a sullen face.

Kimura Yoshiko quickly took out a lunch box, filled it with breakfast and gave it to Kimura Yasai to take with her. She bent down 90 degrees and bowed to see her husband off to make money.

Kimura Yasai went out with a sullen face and drove all the way to the headquarters building. Unfortunately, he encountered a traffic jam and was late for a few minutes. Then, unfortunately, he was bumped into by his boss, Terauchi Inuichiro.

"Kimura-kun, I asked you to reflect on your mistakes at work last year. Is this how you reflected on them? Did you forget even the basic diligence in your leisurely life?"

Kimura gnashed his teeth in anger, but still bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

"Hmph, submit your self-reflection report to my office before noon today."

"."

Kimura Yasai returned to his office with a gloomy face. Less than two minutes after he sat down, a phone call came in.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Kimura-kun, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"."

When Kimura Yasai heard the voice on the other end of the phone, he suddenly became panicked.

During the Spring Festival last year, it was this voice that directed him to go to a park in Beijing, where he received a bag of US dollars.

Then a whole year passed and the man never showed up again. If it weren't for that bag of real US dollars, Kimura Yasai would have suspected that he was just dreaming.

And now the other party suddenly calls me, what on earth does he want to do?

"Hello, what are you calling me about?"

"I need you to do me a small favor. Give me a fax number now and I'll send you something."

"Okay, remember this."

For some unknown reason, Kimura Yasai gave out the fax machine number of his office, and a few minutes later, the fax machine squeaked out a lot of data.

When Kimura Yasai took the information and looked at it, his head buzzed and he was dizzy for several seconds.

He also understood technology, and he knew at a glance that someone was trying to copy Mitsubishi's engine, but encountered several technical bottlenecks.

Although this engine is already an outdated technology of the previous generation, the other party is still very generous and has clearly marked the price behind each technical bottleneck.

Kimura Yasai analyzed the situation carefully and found one item for which he could give directional guidance, and he easily got a large sum of US dollars.

Of course, if the company knew about his "traitorous behavior", the consequences would be very serious.

[Who is the other party? If it is a branch factory]

Kimura Yasai suddenly thought that if he could make a slight breakthrough in the technology of one of the branches, then wouldn’t the suggestion he submitted to the company be a very forward-looking and wise move?
At that time, he could loudly accuse Terauchi Inuichiro in the meeting. It was his mistake at work and his stupidity that forced the flower growers to come up with the results themselves.

"I want to let everyone know who is the stupid idiot"
