Chapter 938 Long-term spy? (4K)
Later in the day.
Song Jingming almost ran all the way into Chang Haonan's office.
Chang Haonan, who had just sat in the office and was looking at the documents, raised his head and looked at the office director with a confused expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Old Song?"
He glanced at the schedule next to him and confirmed that the other party had not made an appointment to meet with him today—
Chang Haonan himself didn't care about these red tapes, but Song Jingming followed the rules every time and always called before coming over.
This time it seemed a bit abrupt.
"Mr. Chang, I'm sorry...this matter is too urgent. I didn't get through when I called you just now, so I came directly."
Song Jingming said and put the things he was carrying in front of Chang Haonan.
The latter took a closer look and discovered that it was a tape recorder.
"this…"
"Just now, an international number starting with 82 called us."
Song Jingming explained:
"The other party said that he was a technician from Samsung Offshore Geoje Shipyard, and he had enough evidence to prove that they directly copied part of our design plan during the design and construction of those LNG ships."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this somewhat outrageous news, Chang Haonan's first reaction was...
Don't quite believe it.
"Can you confirm the other party's identity?"
he asked, frowning.
This kind of thing feels outrageous no matter how you hear it.
Song Jingming's phone number is publicly listed on the group's website, and anyone can see it by clicking on it.
And recently, news related to the Torch Group has spread all over the world.
There's no guarantee that someone isn't playing a prank.
Song Jingming did not answer, but directly pressed the play button on the radio.
An English with a strange accent came from inside.
The content of the first call was similar to Song Jingming's summary, which was that he had the evidence that the Torch Group needed most. If they wanted it, they would find someone who could walk the talk and contact him on time at 8pm the next day.
However, the call did not end immediately.
The customer service staff at Huaxia also realized that the situation was serious, so they asked their colleagues to call Song Jingming.
The latter asked customer service to continue to stabilize the other party, and then used this time to find relevant personnel from the technical department.
Then, there was the following conversation...
"Sir, in order to prove that what you just said is true, we would like to ask you a few questions. Don't worry, money and other resources are not a problem for us. As long as we can prove that your information is valuable, the rest will be Easy to say.”
"go ahead."
The person on the other end of the phone answered very simply, and Chang Haonan even heard a bit of venting pleasure from it.
"Do you know who those LNG ships at Geoje Shipyard were built for?"
"Of course I know, it's Norway's Hordaland Offshore Oil and Gas Equipment Company."
"Then the cargo tank technology of these ships is..."
"The cargo tank uses the Technigaz technology of the French GTT company. Compared with the Gas-Transport solution selected by the Hudong Shipyard... Strictly speaking, it was the Gas-Transport solution that we gave up that reduced the use of a layer of invar steel plates, so the volume of the cargo tank , weight and cost have great advantages.”
"Originally, we thought that we should be able to unify the LNG ship market for at least the next 10 years. However, your Torch Group came out and built a BOG re-liquefaction system that can recover almost 100% of the leaked natural gas. In terms of usage costs, it has suddenly reached a new level. Back to the advantage…”
Speaking of technology, the other party's answer was very smooth, and he also mentioned many details about the competition between Samsung and Hudong.
"hiss…"
Listening to this explosive recording, Chang Haonan immediately backed away tactically.
Obviously, someone who knows so many things cannot be some boring kid who just does pranks.
At least the identity of the other person is definitely no problem, he is definitely an insider of Samsung Offshore Engineering.
but…
"Old Song, you said..."
Chang Haonan raised his hand to stop the recorder, and then motioned for the other party to sit across from him:
"Isn't this a little too coincidental?"
We can't blame Chang Haonan for being suspicious and seriously ill.
They had just filed a lawsuit that they had no intention of winning, and evidence that could play a big role was sent to them without any warning.
This is too smooth sailing.
"Actually... I felt suspicious at first."
Song Jingming took a chair from the side and sat down, then said:
"But I thought for a long time on the way here. Even if this is a hole dug by Samsung Offshore Engineering for us, what are they planning?"
"If this lawsuit continues, there is a high probability that it will continue to be disputed and finally settled. The possibility of us winning is very slim. It can't be for money, right?"
For news like this, the maximum transaction price will not exceed US$1 million.
This is of course a huge sum of money for an individual, but no one, whether Samsung Offshore or Torch Group, takes $1 million seriously.
And, more importantly.
If the other party really just wants money, then you can withdraw the amount today.
"Then...what do you mean?"
Chang Haonan looked at Song Jingming opposite.
"Soldiers will block you, water will block you, and water will cover you. Such a good opportunity cannot be let go in vain."
The latter looked eager to try:
"Since the other party asked us to contact him tomorrow night, let's see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd!"
"It's just Mr. Chang, since we have to negotiate terms, and 80% of the terms are not just money, then you have to draw a range first. We can't just agree to whatever he says..."
"call-"
Chang Haonan took a deep breath, then played with the ballpoint pen in his hand and pondered for a moment:
"In this case, you still make the call."
He reached out and knocked on the table for emphasis:
"But I'll go to your place tomorrow and listen to what this guy has to say!"
Originally, Chang Haonan thought that this would be an extreme game of wits and courage against a professional spy.
To this end, he even entrusted Fu Youquan to help, and hired a psychologist and an interrogation expert from the Second Department of the General Staff Department to provide some basic training to Song Jingming, and to stay by the phone throughout the process to advise the latter.
In the end, everyone decided that they could not let go of the child without trapping the wolf, so they started with a more detailed technical information to exaggerate the seriousness of the situation.
Since this part is completely true, if the identity of the "shipyard technician" is true, his mentality should be somewhat shaken.
Even if this person is really a bait set by Samsung Offshore Engineering, he can at least scare the other party.
No loss whatsoever.
After that, listen to what specific conditions the other party wants and how they want to proceed with the transaction.
If possible, try to trick the other party into sending over part of the evidence in hand to verify the authenticity.
Finally, decide whether to trade with the other party and what kind of chips to pay.
In short, it takes a few rounds.
According to the experience of the two comrades from the Second Department of the General Staff, if the other party is really a technician who becomes a spy for the first time, his mentality will be very fragile. Whether it is too procrastinating or agreeing too quickly and decisively, it may cause the other party to be rebellious or suspicious, causing the deal to fall through.
Therefore, after this round of process, about 7-10 days is most suitable.
All in all, everything was ready within 24 hours.
At 8 p.m. the next day, several people, plus a lot of monitoring equipment, crowded the already narrow phone room.
Song Jingming took a deep breath, then picked up the receiver and dialed the other party's number.
"Hi, hello, I am the head of the business department of Torch Group..."
Song Jingming didn't speak directly to the other party yesterday, so it was a new voice, and he could pretend to be any identity.
So, everything went well.
After exchanging pleasantries with the other party, Song Jingming began to strengthen the other party according to the technical documents prepared by Chang Haonan.
However, the situation soon went beyond Chang Haonan's...or rather, beyond everyone's expectations.
Before Song Jingming could finish the first step, the opponent's mentality had already collapsed.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand.
All the entanglements, hesitations, and hesitations that Yin Zhongxian had before were ultimately because he still had a sense of luck.
The risks that Chinese people talk about may not really exist.
But today, the technical document that Song Jingming read out dispelled all his illusions—
Just like if you make a mistake on a question in the exam room, you will suddenly wake up when you get home with the answer.
Yin Zhongxian finally realized what his problem was.
Technigaz cargo tanks have limited pressure regulation capabilities.
This is not a problem during normal transportation.
However, after the BOG reliquefaction system is installed, the cargo tank is indirectly connected to the ship's power system. Since the LNG flow direction cannot be controlled through rapid pressure change, the heat distribution of the entire ship will be slowly changed.
Short-distance transportation is fine, but long-distance transportation is hard to guarantee what will happen...
So, he revealed his identity almost in tears, and said that he was now desperate, and that as long as it could help him escape this disaster, he would do anything.
The situation's rapid decline stunned everyone present.
Song Jingming tentatively asked Yin Zhongxian to send part of the evidence in his hand to prove that what the latter said was true.
As a result, the latter agreed with the speed of light…
Didn't even wait until the next day.
That night, an unfamiliar email address sent several photos to the Torch Group's corporate email.
It is the first ten pages of the other party's LNG ship design document.
It's just that it's the uncut version.
The one with parameters and the whole design process.
"Is this thing... considered legal evidence?"
Chang Haonan looked at Hou Shunda next to him and asked.
In his impression, if it is a criminal or civil lawsuit, evidence obtained through illegal means cannot be used.
"If we take it out, we might still have to argue."
Hou Shunda replied:
"But if Yoon Jong-hyun is allowed to appear in court as a witness, and then he submits this thing to the court, then there will definitely be no problem."
"With this kind of evidence, if the lawsuit can still be lost, I will come forward to see you!"
"Then Mr. Chang, why don't we just agree..."
Song Jingming was obviously moved:
"Although we didn't really have any intention of winning at first, if we win..."
At this point, his words stopped abruptly.
"etc…"
"It seems that even if we win, there will be no benefit to us?"
The Norwegians originally came here for liquidated damages. Now that you win the lawsuit, it is equivalent to ruining the order.
Wouldn't it help Samsung Offshore Engineering in turn?
Moreover, if Party A goes back to the Hudong factory, will you accept the order or not?
"So, I have a new idea."
Chang Haonan said leisurely:
"We actually don't have to win this lawsuit at all."
After everyone else heard this, they were all shocked and acted like they were all ears:
"First of all, Manager Yin Zhongxian is afraid now because he feels that Party A really wants to buy the ship, so he is worried that an accident may happen after the ship is delivered and he will be implicated."
"But we know the tricks of those Norwegians. They will breach the contract before the ship is built, and then use it to trick the shipyard. Therefore, it is impossible for these ships to be launched in a short time, let alone used."
"yes…"
Song Jingming slapped his thigh:
"So this Yin Zhongxian actually doesn't have anything to worry about!"
"But he doesn't know this yet, and we can take advantage of this time difference."
Chang Haonan's speaking speed increased unconsciously:
"First stabilize Yin Zhongxian and tell him that we can prepare a new identity for him and a large amount of money so that he can take his wife and children to start a new life in the ethnic minority areas of our country after the Dongchuang incident."
"But what he has in his hands is of no use to us now, so we need to exchange it for other information of sufficient weight before something happens, whether it is related to the Samsung Group, Korean shipbuilding, the Korean Navy, or even the stationed Anything related to South Korea and the US military is fine!”
"Of course, we won't take advantage of him in vain. We will provide corresponding cash rewards based on the value of the information."
Geoje Shipyard is the largest shipyard in South Korea, and most of the combat ships of the South Korean Navy are built here.
Some US military ships will also undergo small-scale repairs or maintenance here.
As the manager of Geoje Shipyard, Yoon Jong-hyun has absolutely full intelligence value.
If possible, we can even help him continue to climb higher and become a nail in the middle and upper class in Korea.
"But...those LNG ships will be completed sooner or later."
Song Jingming asked:
"No matter who it is delivered to, isn't it still a huge safety hazard?"
"Hey...we don't have to worry about this."
Chang Haonan waved his hands nonchalantly:
"As long as those ships enter a long-term shutdown, without the constraints of Party A, as the head of the shipyard, Yin Zhongxian, as long as he is not stupid, will definitely turn those ships into scrap metal that is not suitable for continued construction."
"After the demolition is completed, it will be over."
"Besides, to put it another way, even if it is really delivered, it will have to be many years later. Then we can get Yin Zhongxian out..."
He had heard this routine a lot from Lao Wu.
Scrap things that are obviously still usable, buy them at scrap prices, and then resell them as second-hand equipment, earning a huge profit from them.
It's just that Yin Zhongxian is just trying to protect himself.
"Also, after the Norwegians take action, won't we lose Yin Zhongxian's leverage?"
Someone asked again in a low voice.
"So let him exchange it for other information!"
Chang Haonan replied:
"As long as he trades with us once, it is equivalent to receiving a certificate of investment. The future events are not up to him..."
