貓與老鼠的游戲

Game between cat and mouse

朋友的預(yù)言很快就應(yīng)驗了。

The friend's prophecy was soon fulfilled.

干什么涉及到經(jīng)濟利益的事，都有一張張有形和無形的網(wǎng)編織在那里，都有一條條有形和無形的鏈條勾連在一起，你周興和只是一個出身低微的農(nóng)民發(fā)明者，你卻敢冒天下之大不韙，去攪亂了這張編織好的網(wǎng)，去打破了這個聯(lián)接緊密的鏈條，人家恨不得把你磨水吞了，豈能與你善罷甘休！

For anything involves the economic interests, there is a tangible or intangible net, and the lines of tangible or intangible chain, all interconnected together. Zhou Xinghe was just a humble farmer inventor, and how dare you to take the risk of messing this network, and breaking the chain linked closely; somebody else would swallow you with water, and could not let you go!

最好的辦法，就是將這個產(chǎn)品扼殺在搖籃之中！

The best way was to kill this product in the cradle!

這段時間，周興和從不同渠道打聽到，有關(guān)部門的人到處給建材檢測部門打招呼，要么不給“星河”牌五防輕體隔墻板檢測，要么就得給它們檢測不合格。同時他們到處散布，什么五防隔墻板是秸稈做的，火一燒就燃，水一泡就爛。許多建筑商不明真相信以為真，都不敢使用“星河”公司的產(chǎn)品。

In that period, Zhou Xinghe learned from different channels, that the persons of concerned department hinted the building materials testing department of all levels, either not testing for "Xinghe" brand five-proof lightweight partition board, or making the test result unqualified. Meanwhile, they spread all over the market, that the five-proof partition board was made of straw, easy to burn by fire or damp off by water. Many builders did not know the truth and did not dare to use "Xinghe" Company's products.

按國家規(guī)定，隔墻板的檢測指標(biāo)是7項，可有關(guān)部門卻要求周興和的五防隔墻板檢測指標(biāo)達(dá)17項；更有甚者，僅防火檢測這一項指標(biāo)，國家規(guī)定檢測時間不超過40天，可“星河”公司的產(chǎn)品送到防火檢測中心檢測，從抽樣、封樣到送檢達(dá)一年零七個月，周興和給他們打了幾十個電話，他們不是說檢測的產(chǎn)品太多還在排隊，就是說“快了快了，等候通知”；明明國家標(biāo)準(zhǔn)規(guī)定耐火時間60分鐘為極限，他們的產(chǎn)品僅僅才54分鐘就停止了檢測；于是第二次再檢測，又進(jìn)行了188分鐘——所有的一切歸結(jié)起來，就是兩個字：刁難！讓你“星河”公司的產(chǎn)品不能進(jìn)入市場。

According to the national regulation, the detection index of partition wall board was 7 items, but the concerned branch asked Zhou Xinghe’s five-proof partition wall board for 17 detection indexes; what's more, the testing time of indicator of fireproof detection shall be no more than 40 days in accordance with the provisions of the state, but the products of "Xinghe" Company sent to fire testing center had been one year and 7 months from sampling, sealing to sending to inspection; Zhou Xinghe made dozens of telephone calls, but they just said the products for detection were too many and it was still in the queue, or just said "soon, waiting for notification". The national standard stated that the fire resistance time was 60 minutes as the limit, but their products stopped testing after 54 minutes. So, it was test again, for another 188 minutes - To sum up: they deliberately made difficulties! To keep the products of "Xinghe" Company out of the market.

在檢測之前，周興和要求檢測部門在檢測他產(chǎn)品時能通知他到場，得到的答復(fù)是不行。周興和告訴他們，這個要求不過分，本來檢測結(jié)果就要公開，希望他們在檢測時電話通知他，以便找出材料的問題好進(jìn)行改進(jìn)。

Before the test, Zhou Xinghe asked the testing department to inform him to be present when testing his products, but the reply was no. Zhou Xinghe told them that this requirement was not too much and that the test results would be made public. He just hoped that they would call him for the test to find out the problems in the materials so that they could make improvements.

1998年8月17號，周興和正在雙流機場接客人，已經(jīng)是下午5點鐘了，他突然接到檢測部門工作人員的電話：現(xiàn)在正在檢測你的產(chǎn)品，你不是要到現(xiàn)場來看嗎？你來吧。

On August 17, 1998, Zhou Xinghe was picking up a client at Shuangliu Airport. It was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon when he suddenly received a call from the staff of the testing department: Your products are being tested now, so don't you want to come to the scene? Come now.

周興和聽到這個消息后，顧不得再接客人，也顧不得天色已近黃昏，他委托出租車司機替他接客，立即匆匆趕往檢測地點，路上用時1小時20分?？傻搅艘粏?，門衛(wèi)說他們的產(chǎn)品早在3個多小時前就檢測完了，而且結(jié)果為“不合格”！

When Zhou Xinghe heard the news, regardless of the fact that it was almost dusk and he needed to pick up the client, he commissioned a taxi driver to pick up the client for him and hurried to the test site. It took him one hour and 20 minutes to get there. But when he arrived and asked, the guard said that his product had been tested more than three hours earlier and the result was "unqualified"!

隔墻材料最重要的一項指標(biāo)就是防火，只要說你的產(chǎn)品是秸稈做的，不能防火，一旦燃燒就會危及人民的生命財產(chǎn)安全——那么，還有誰敢使用這樣的產(chǎn)品呢？

One of the most important indexes of partition board material was the fireproof. As long as they said your product was made of straw and could not be fireproof, once it burned, it would endanger people's life and property safety - then, who dared to use such a product?

怎么辦呢？天漸漸黑了下來，檢測部門的人早就下了班。周興和實在于心不甘，他在附近的街道上不斷地徘徊——一連串的疑問不斷在他腦際里浮現(xiàn)：為什么1年多時間不對他的產(chǎn)品檢測？為什么檢測時不通知他在現(xiàn)場？為什么檢測完后才通知他去？……

What to do? It was getting dark, and the men in the testing department had been off duty long before. Zhou Xinghe was really unwilling, and wandered in the nearby street constantly - A series of questions constantly appeared in his mind: Why his product was not tested for more than a year? Why didn't they inform him to present on the scene when testing? Why they tell him to come after the test? ...

夜已經(jīng)很深了，周興和實在睡不著了，一個人在小區(qū)里沿著林蔭小道慢慢踱來踱去——產(chǎn)品的成功失敗在此一舉，如若成功，那產(chǎn)品就可以取得合法的準(zhǔn)生證，就可以上市；如若失敗，自己多年的心血和資產(chǎn)都將付諸東流。這一年，周興和已經(jīng)45歲了，要想重新創(chuàng)業(yè)幾無可能了，他身背的沉重債務(wù)，也只有讓下一代來償還了。從另一個意義上說，人類用秸稈作為建材，取代秦磚漢瓦的希望就可能成為泡影了。

The night had been very deep, and Zhou Xinghe really could not sleep, and paced back and forth in the community along the shady path slowly - the success or failure of the product depended upon here; if succeeded, the product could obtain the legal birth certificate, and could enter the market; if failed, all the years of hard work and money would be in vain. This year, Zhou Xinghe was 45 years old, and it was impossible to start a business again; he was carrying a heavy debt, which shall only be repaid by his offsprings. In another sense, the hope of human using the straw as building material, to replace the brick and tile may be gone.

這時，擺在周興和面前的只有兩條路：一條是奮力抗?fàn)?，挽回敗局，但這談何容易！另一條路只有兩個字，那就是：自殺。

At this time, Zhou Xinghe was faced with only two ways: One was to fight hard and win back the defeat, but this was not easy! The other way was one word: suicide.

滿腹的憤懣，滿肚的辛酸，滿腔的怒火，滿眼的悲淚！這一夜，周興和連自殺的方式，甚至與這些人同歸于盡的自殺方式都想好了。

Full of resentment, full of bitterness, full of anger, full of tears! That night, Zhou Xinghe even decided how to kill himself, and even how to kill himself together with these people.

晚風(fēng)颯颯，夜空朦朦。此時此刻，周興和的心情就有點像戲文中當(dāng)年岳飛唱的那樣：“昨夜寒蛩不住鳴，驚回千里夢，已三更。起來獨自繞階行。人悄悄，窗外月朧明。……知音少，弦斷有誰聽”的境地。是啊，這偌大的天地間，難道真的就沒有我周興和的一線生機，真的就沒有我周興和的三寸立錐之地嗎？

The night wind rustled, and the night sky was dim. At this moment, Zhou Xinghe's mood was a bit like the situation of Yue Fei’s singing in the opera: "The crickets chirping in the cold night of yesterday suddenly woke up my dream of fighting for thousands of miles. It was the midnight, and I got up, walking alone around the steps. The surroundings were silent, and the moon was dim outside the window… I want to put my heart on the musical instrument, but it is difficult to find a soulmate. Even if the string is broken, who will listen to it?" Alas, among this so big space between sky and earth, is it true that there is no a glimmer of vitality for myself, and is there really not a tiny bit of land for me to stand?

周興和想了無數(shù)的補救方法，但都被他一一否決了。半夜12點，周興和撥通了檢測負(fù)責(zé)人王某的電話，非?？蜌獾嘏c他溝通，但都以不愉快的談話結(jié)束。凌晨4點，周興和又再次撥通了王某的電話，告訴他：第二天不能撤除我公司的隔墻板。王某不同意：我們每天檢測任務(wù)排得很滿，必須要撤除。周興和最后直截了當(dāng)對他說：我認(rèn)為你們有損害我們公司利益的行為，因此我要取證。王某回答：我們不允許取證。周興和決絕地告訴他：明天早晨8點，我會準(zhǔn)時前來取證！說完，他掛斷了電話。

Zhou Xinghe thought of countless remedies, but he rejected them one by one. At 12:00 a.m., Zhou Xinghe dialed the telephone of the person in charge of the test, Mr. Wang, and communicated with him very politely, but it ended up unpleasantly. At 4:00 a.m., Zhou Xinghe dialed Wang again and told him that the partition board of our company could not be removed the next day. Wang disagreed: "Our daily testing schedule is very full and we have to remove it." Zhou Xinghe finally said to him directly: "I think you have harmed the interests of our company, so I want to collect evidence." Wang answered: "We are not allowed to collect evidence." Zhou Xinghe resolutely told him: "Tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m., I will come on time to collect evidence!" Then he hung up the phone.

該怎么辦呢？

What to do?

凌晨，周興和叫起了和他一起送樣品的黃工，與駕駛員一同再去檢測中心，他的想法是到那里后再見機行事。早上6點，他們到了地處山溝的檢測區(qū)，從后門悄悄進(jìn)去查看現(xiàn)場檢測情況。周興和懷著一絲僥幸：如果能取到他們作弊的證據(jù)，上班時就可以和他們做一番理論了。

In the early morning, Zhou Xinghe called the worker Huang who had delivered the samples with him and went to the testing center with the driver. His idea was to play it by ear after they got there. At 6:00 a.m., they arrived at the test area in the gully and slipped in through the back door to check on the site. Zhou Xinghe counted on his luck: if he could get evidence of their cheating, he could have a base to argue with them.

四周靜悄悄的。微明的晨光里，除了山林的鳥兒幾聲鳴叫，整個檢測中心是一片死寂。周興和他們來到檢測爐前，仔細(xì)一看——啊，原來他們送檢的隔墻板上，上面用粉筆寫著幾個數(shù)字，數(shù)字顯示，他們送檢的材料檢測是154分鐘！

Everything was quiet. In the dim morning light, except for a few chirps of birds in the mountains, the whole testing center was in a dead silence. Zhou Xinghe went to the testing stove and took a closer look - ah, it turned out that on the partition board they had sent for test, there were some figures written on it in chalk. The figures showed that the material they had sent for test had been tested for 154 minutes!

周興和見此情形，他真是欲哭無淚！他立即叫同行的人進(jìn)行了照相取證——他知道，隔墻板在檢測時，布置了9個火力檢測點，這些測試點檢測的溫度反映到電腦里，將測試出1600多個數(shù)據(jù)；然后將所有數(shù)據(jù)綜合起來才是檢測結(jié)果，法律上才能生效。

Zhou Xinghe saw this situation, and he really wanted to cry! He immediately asked his colleagues to take a photo as evidence - he knew that during the partition board test, there were nine fire test points, and the temperature of these test points was reflected in the computer, to present more than 1,600 test data; and then combined with all the data to get the test results, which shall be legally valid.

天色漸漸亮開了起來，周興和等人離開了檢測處，很快隱于朦朧的晨霧之中。周興和取得了檢測的證據(jù)后，隨后和檢測中心的人經(jīng)過幾次可以說是驚心動魄、跌宕起伏的較量，終于讓對手?jǐn)∠玛噥怼?/p>

The sky gradually turned white, Zhou Xinghe and others left the test place, and quickly hid in the hazy morning mist. After Zhou Xinghe obtained the evidence of the test, he finally defeated his opponent after several thrilling and roller-coaster contests with the people of the testing center.

周興和獲得了重新送檢的機會。

Zhou Xinghe was given the opportunity to be re-tested for his products.

周興和是個執(zhí)拗的人，在產(chǎn)品耐火極限檢測時，原本只需60分鐘，但為了證實自己產(chǎn)品的超強防火性能和耐火極限，他讓產(chǎn)品整整進(jìn)行了188分鐘的檢測！其實，他對自己產(chǎn)品的性能最清楚，試驗和實際使用早已證明，就連混凝土里的工字鋼被烈火融為鐵水，可他的以秸稈為原材料的輕質(zhì)墻板卻毫發(fā)無損！

Zhou Xinghe is a stubborn person, in the fire limit test, which is originally only 60 minutes, but in order to prove his product's super fireproof performance and fire endurance limit, he let the product test for 188 minutes! In fact, he is most aware of the performance of his products, and the test and practical use has already proved that even the H-steel in the concrete is melted into liquid iron, his lightweight wallboard with the straw as the raw material has been unscathed!

檢測結(jié)束，面對最終的檢測結(jié)果，防火中心的工作人員大感意外，客觀上已完全證明他們先前的檢測的失誤。無可爭議，最后他們只剩一個選擇，在檢驗報告上簽字蓋章。

At the end of the test, in the face of the final test results, the fireproof center staff were surprised, which objectively and completely proved their previous test error. In the end, beyond dispute, they had only one option, to sign and stamp on the inspection report.
