Chapter 602 teaches the Japanese a profound lesson!


    In principle, the testing center is only responsible for giving conclusions and is not responsible for analysis.


    But the meaning in the test report is actually very clear.


    “The samples taken directly from the bulk supply this time are completely different from the previous ones.”


    Basically, it is equivalent to saying that after the supplier passes the first test and gets the contract, it starts to provide unqualified products in batches.


    ??Moreover, the design of this substandard product is quite exquisite.


    ??If it weren''t for the small margin of the NH90''s transmission system, there would be no problems in a short time.


    ? Even if a problem is discovered later, it will basically only have a slight impact on the lifespan, which can easily be regarded as a normal deviation between the calculated results and the actual situation.


    Hardly anyone would think about parts being substandard.


    “Dr. Pierre, please calm down first.”


    Wang Xibo first briefly comforted Pierre who was about to explode, then looked at the report in his hand and asked with a complicated expression:


    “You...won’t you do sampling testing on every batch of samples?”


    “Dr. Wang, what about this...it’s a long story...”


    ?Pierre, who sat back in the chair, shook his head, and then sighed softly.


    Immediately afterwards, Wang Xibo was explained to Wang Xibo the reason for this situation.


    Eurocopter Group will of course conduct random tests on its products, but after all, destructive testing is required, and the cost of this bearing is quite high, so the frequency is actually very low.


    In terms of operation, as long as you bribe an insider at the middle level or even at the grassroots level, you can make preparations in advance and deliver a batch of qualified products in a targeted manner.


    ?This system certainly has a lot of loopholes, but there hasn’t been any big trouble in so many years. The whole world, at least in the high-end industry, has been maintained like this.


    Because every component in the industry chain should know that maintaining this seemingly loophole-filled quality system is the best outcome for everyone.


    The cost of increasing the sampling rate, regardless of economic, labor or time costs, is simply too outrageous and is a complete waste of resources.


    It is better to maintain trust between each other, so that everyone can earn more.


    “Originally, of course there have been people who have tampered with the quality before, but they would not take advantage of this loophole.”


    “The most we can do is bribe a third-party testing agency to issue a false report. After all, very few parties can conduct testing completely on their own like us.”


    Having said this, Pierre closed his eyes in pain and tapped the report on the table with both hands:


    “But now, the first guy to completely break the rules has appeared.”


    “Once trust is destroyed, it is almost impossible to rebuild it.”


    “This set of things will soon become unusable...”


    ?Thinking from a rational perspective, Wang Xibo can understand what Pierre said.


    NSK''s operation is equivalent to flipping the table on which everyone eats, and will greatly increase the operating costs of every link in the entire market.


    ?However, considering that Hua Xia has never been to this table, it is difficult for him to have any empathetic thoughts.


    “Originally, our domestic experts have also been sent to investigate this matter, and they should arrive tomorrow morning. But it seems that besides signing and drawing a conclusion, he does not need to do anything.”


    ?Wang Xibo looked at the appraisal report with a somewhat helpless expression.


    After a slight pause, he raised his head again and looked at Pierre behind the desk:


    “What are you going to do about the bearings?”


    “Although we discovered it in time and did not cause too serious losses, the test flight work will definitely have to be suspended for a period of time until the next reliable supplier is found.”


    ?Hearing this question, Pierre also sat up straight again:


    "What to do...it''s natural to file a claim. This matter will be handled by the legal department, so you and I don''t need to worry about it."


    “But I still need to write a few reports to explain the reasons for the problem to several departments of defense.”


    This matter has nothing to do with Bingfei or Eurocopter, so the follow-up processing is actually not complicated.


    On the contrary, to some extent, it proves that the design produced by Bingfei Group is indeed exquisite.


    Suffice it without wasting it.


    ??For Pierre, he is currently exhausted mentally and physically by the NH90 project itself. Therefore, although he hates NSK''s fraud very much, after considering the overall situation, he decided to focus on technology.


    On the one hand, delivering the aircraft as quickly as possible is the top priority right now, and entangled with NSK will not help this process.


    On the other hand, as Pierre said before, the bigger this incident gets, the more damage it will do to the past set of market rules based on mutual trust.


    So, if nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that this matter will just go away.


    ??At most, the subsequent claims and court confrontation may attract some media attention, and the NSK Group will be included in the supplier blacklist.


    That afternoon, it was evening on the Chinese side.


    Chang Haonan, who was conducting a summary analysis of the components and test results of Turbofan 10, received a notification from Bingfei Group on the subsequent development of this matter.


    He was so angry that he almost got into a fight.


    ?Chang Haonan originally prepared a set of combos to target the entire Japanese manufacturing industry.


    ? All things considered, he never expected that Eurocopter would tend to keep a low profile on this matter.


    ?In this way, although NSK will definitely still suffer a huge blow, if the operations in recent months only involve a certain company, it would be a real loss.


    ?Thinking of this, he picked up the red telephone receiver on his desk and prepared to call Lan Xinzhi from the Equipment Industry Department.


    ??But when his finger was placed on the number button, the number was not dialed.


    After hesitating for a moment, he finally put the receiver back.


    …


    Chang Haonan took a long breath, calmed down, and whispered:


    “It’s better to wait and see…”


    ??If Eurocop decides to stop here, it won’t make much difference whether he hits his combos earlier or later.


    But if you wait a little longer, there might be a chance.


    Game is a bit like gambling to some extent.


    You cannot control all external factors.


    But if you can always make the optimal choice rationally, then with a large sample size, you will definitely win in the end.


    In the end, he really had to wait.


    When Liu Hongbo, who was tired from traveling all the way, landed in Marseille and finally arrived at the headquarters of Eurocopter, what was in front of him was an investigation report that had already been written.


    “We have no responsibility at all in this matter, and Eurocopter’s legal department will handle any subsequent matters, so... Professor Liu, all you need to do is sign here.”


    In Pierre''s office, Wang Xibo pointed to the signature column at the end of the report with some helplessness and said to Liu Hongbo.


    Originally, all three people should be present at this time.


    But Pierre had just been called out by a phone call.


    “Did they really buy fake bearings?”


    After reading the contents of the report, the latter was so shocked that his eyes almost bulged out.


    ??Yesterday when Bingfei reported to Chang Haonan, Liu Hongbo was already on the way to the airport, so he was almost the last one among the relevant personnel to learn the truth of the matter.


    “It sounds outrageous, but...it’s really that simple.”


    Wang Xibo replied:


    “I’m also surprised that a Japanese company can commit fraud so brazenly, and in such a crude way…”


    Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang at the office door.


    ?Pierre almost kicked open the door and walked in angrily, mumbling something.


    ?During this period, Wang Xibo also learned some French under the influence, but the other party spoke too fast and could not hear the specific content clearly.


    ?However, judging from some keywords, it should be some content that is not easy to pass the review.


    “Pierre, what happened?”


    ?Wang Xibo tried to calm Pierre down.


    “Just now, people from the public relations and legal departments told me that NSK Group rejected our claim for compensation!”


    ?Pierre sat down on the office chair. Originally a white man, his face was almost as dark as Tyrell. He was obviously very angry:


    “They said we didn’t have enough evidence to prove that their group sent us products with substandard performance.”


    "ah?"


    Liu Hongbo, who had learned the whole story from the report, was immediately shocked:


    “No, the test report has already been slapped on your face, how can you still be so arrogant?”


    “Their legal department said that the difference between the sample and the final product may also be caused by our internal people switching the package midway, and we need to provide stronger evidence!”


    ∣Pierre was also laughed out of anger when he said this:


    “I originally wanted to handle this matter in a low-key manner, but now it seems that I still have to teach them a profound lesson!”
