Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Kobe Steel Works, an island nation.

Moriwaki let out a long sigh of relief: "It seems that the people are still willing to believe the truth. The reputation that Kobe Steel has built up over the years will not be ruined by a single instance of counterfeit steel."

Ishino Hiromitsu frowned: "I have a feeling it can't be that simple!"

To this day, they haven't found out who leaked the information, which is very strange. How did the other party know that their steel was counterfeit? Since they know about the JSS368 steel, could they also know about the other steel types?

"Many things aren't that complicated. It's already unbelievable that one type of steel data was leaked. To say that more steel data has been leaked, I..."

Boom!

The door opened, and the secretary rushed in: "President, President, something terrible has happened!"

"what happened again?"

"On the internet, over two hundred of Kobe Steel's products have been disclosed, and there are significant discrepancies between the actual and theoretical data for these products. This includes not only steel, but also aluminum and copper products. Furthermore, there is data on the outflow of these products, not only to shipyards, but also to automobile factories, and even mobile phones..."

Even high-tech products like mobile phones need to be made of steel, and top-quality steel is needed to make the frame. If the strength of this thing is not high enough, it will be easily broken!

Owning a smartphone is very fashionable these days, and the public absolutely cannot tolerate counterfeit phones.

If cell phones are only a nuisance, then cars are a different story!

Using substandard aluminum or copper materials in interior parts might not have a significant impact, but critical components, such as aluminum alloy wheels and aluminum alloy lower control arms, are constantly subjected to impacts while the car is in motion. If these parts are defective, they could break suddenly on the highway, potentially causing fatalities!

A live streaming platform.

"Friends, welcome to this episode of our car review program! I'm your friend, Gorilla!" The car reviewer appeared on the screen: "Today, we're going to test this Lexus sedan to see if it lives up to the rumors online. First, we'll remove its wheels and aluminum lower control arms, then send it to a professional testing facility..."

Gorilla, a world-renowned car reviewer, enjoys making fun of all kinds of cars. His reviews are fair and impartial, without any personal bias. His reviews are definitely unbiased.

So the gorilla began its day's work: disassembling, packing, and loading into the car. Throughout the entire process, it never left the camera's view. Then it was sent to the metal measuring device, and a few minutes later, the results were obtained.

"Friends, I've received the test report. As we can see, the tensile strength and durability of these products are far from the required data. This is unbelievable. These metals from Kobe Steel actually don't meet the standards. God, I'll never drive this kind of car again... I don't want to have an accident on the road..."

After a long day of work, the gorilla was exhausted. At the end of the live stream, he left with his last words: "Kobe Steel's automotive valve springs are used in even larger quantities worldwide, reportedly reaching 50%. That means one in two cars uses Kobe Steel products. If this part also has a problem... I absolutely cannot imagine what the consequences would be..."

Kobe Steel Works, an island nation.

"Damn it, that gorilla must have been paid, he must be deliberately smearing us!" Mori Waki ​​gritted his teeth.

"President, we shouldn't have been so hasty. I knew they had a backup plan..." Ishino Hirotomi began, "There will be more reviews coming up. We can reject one or two, but we can't reject all the reviews in the world. We..."

Thump thump thump... The secretary jogged along.

"President, people from Toyota are here. They want to return all our raw materials and demand compensation for our losses..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

A few minutes later.

"Mr. Watanabe, what's been happening lately is a ploy by someone behind the scenes to damage the reputation of our island nation's products. To us, it's a small matter, but to you, it's a huge deal. Therefore, we absolutely cannot admit to it..."

"Damn it, you idiot!" Watanabe Katsuaki exploded: "At this point, we still won't admit that there's a problem with the parts? The whole world knows that Kobe Steel is falsifying its metals, and Toyota has decided to recall all cars produced using Kobe Steel's raw materials. And you still don't want to admit it? Do you think that if you don't admit it, you haven't falsified anything?"

His trick is no longer effective!

"Then what do we do?"

"Apologize! You must apologize! You must sincerely admit your mistakes! We hope to gain the customer's forgiveness. Damn it, you've already dragged Toyota into this, and you still want to deny it!"

Mori Waki's face turned pale instantly.

You're actually going to apologize? Well... then apologize.

after one day.

Island nation, Tokyo, Island nation industrial standards survey committee.

In 1921, the island nation established the Industrial Standards Standardization Survey Committee, which began to systematically and systematically formulate and publish national standards. In 1946, the island nation established an industrial standardization management agency, namely the Island Nation Industrial Standards Committee.

If any of their products cause an incident, they will be the ones to initiate the investigation and release the results.

"Our investigation has confirmed that some of Kobe Steel's products do not meet Kobe Steel's standards, but they still meet the standards of the island nation. Of course, the data falsification cannot be concealed, and we sincerely apologize to our customers."

The chairman of the investigation committee, the president of Kobe Steel, and several other relevant personnel, all dressed neatly in suits and ties, stood up, faced the camera, and gave a standard 90-degree bow.

The bows were not only standard, but also lasted a long time. The Japanese do a really good job in this area, but... it's only limited to apologizing!

Dongfang, Laiyang Group, Headquarters.

"See? This is the spirit of craftsmanship." Qin Chuan said with a smile, "If something goes wrong, you have to apologize and bow. However, bowing only represents an attitude, not an action. After bowing, you should continue to do what you were supposed to do."

Some public intellectuals will bring up the example of islanders bowing, claiming that islanders are more civilized. In reality, well...

It's like beating your wife when you're drunk. You beat her when you're drunk, apologize when you sober up, and then continue the next night... If that's the kind of behavior, then you should just get a divorce! If they can beat you once, they can beat you a second time!
