When Feng Yu and Feng Yu alighted from the plane, someone was waiting outside the airport with a signboard. This was Songjiang Motorcycles' distributor in Shanghai. At the same time, he was also the distributor of Wind and Rain bladeless fans.
He knew that Tai Hua Trading's General Manager and Deputy General Manager were coming to Shanghai for a business trip, and he asked him to hire a Japanese translator and book a double room at XX hotel. He immediately agreed and came over to fetch them.
Just Songjiang Motorcycles had brought him a lot of income these few months. As the weather got warmer, the bladeless fans' sales started to pick up.
He had heard that Tai Hua Trading's leaders had a weird temper. If he did not treat them well this time, they might not renew the contract with him next year. Tai Hua Trading's products were all advertised on CCTV. This allowed them to save on marketing expenses, and their products were selling well. Feng Yu does not want to be eliminated.
"President Zhao, thank you for your hard work. Thank you for coming over personally to fetch us."
"Look at what President Wu said. This is what I should do. General Manager Feng, let me help you carry your luggage. "President Zhao said.
"No need. Have you hired the translator?"
"Yes. He is waiting at the hotel. This way, I will drive you all over. "
President Zhao was driving a Santana. In this era, the people who could drive this car were more arrogant than the A6 drivers in the future.
After sending them to the hotel, Feng Yu met the translator. He declined President Zhao's invitation and said that he had something to do tonight. He will be back in a few days. President Zhao left with some regrets. He had already booked a restaurant for the night. He called the other customers over to have dinner. He couldn't let the food go to waste.
The translator was a man in his thirties. He had studied in Japan for 4 years and was currently a Japanese teacher in a university.
Feng Yu nodded and told the translator that he will be meeting with Sony's top management tomorrow to discuss the acquisition of another company's shares. He asked the translator to familiarize himself with the jargon. Tomorrow's negotiation was very important and must not make any mistakes. He also told the translator to be at the restaurant at 7 am.
At night, Feng Yu told Wu Chih-gang some things to take note of tomorrow, and Feng Yu went to bed.
Ten minutes later, Feng Yu suddenly sat up.
Holy sh * t, Wu Chih-gang actually snores too! Damn it, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved money. I should have booked two rooms!
"Gangzi, Gangzi, why don't you take a bath and sleep? You have to meet clients tomorrow. How can you smell sweat? Go take a shower before you sleep. Take a good shower so that you're completely clean ~ ~ ~ "
Half an hour later, Wu Chih-gang returned to bed after taking a shower. When he was about to remind Feng Yu to take a shower, he found that Feng Yu had fallen asleep.
…
At 7 am, Sony Deputy President Norio Ohga woke up as usual and went downstairs for breakfast. Suddenly, a Huaxia man sat down next to him, and he couldn't help but frown.
There were many empty tables nearby. Why did she want to sit next to him? This was very impolite behavior!
"President Daigo, hayo ~ ~"
Hmm? Norio Ohga heard the familiar greeting and replied. After that, he asked the other party where she was from and which department she was working in. Norio Ohga thought the other party was an employee of Sony Hua Xia and had come to fetch him in the morning.
Everyone in Norio Ohga's company knew that Norio Ohga had a strict routine. He woke up at 6.30 am and had breakfast at 7 am. After breakfast, he would go to work. If the driver came to fetch him late, he would be angry.
But the other party's reply was not what Norio Ohga expected. The other party was a translator, and the customer at the table beside him wanted to discuss business with him.
Although Norio Ohga was unhappy to be interrupted during his breakfast, he still chose to ask the other party about business. Especially when Sony was trying to develop the Hua Xia market.
The other party's reply shocked Norio Ohga again.
What? That young Hua Xia employee wants to acquire Aiwa's shares?
Feng Yu had asked President Zhao to book this hotel was because Masao Kameda had found out that Norio Ohga would be staying in this hotel. Also, Masao Kameda was the one who told Feng Yu about Norio Ohga's habit of eating breakfast at 7 am. Masao Kameda told Feng Yu that this was the best opportunity to meet Norio Ohga.
Feng Yu had to admit that Masao Kameda was good at gathering information. Feng Yu was thinking if he should groom Masao Kameda to be a spy in Japan.
The translator chatted for a while and nodded to Feng Yu. He asked Feng Yu to go over and introduced Feng Yu to Norio Ohga.
"Mr. Feng, why are you interested in Aiwa?"
"I like to listen to music, and Aiwa's Walkman has the best sound quality. This is also the first Walkman I have ever bought. I heard that Aiwa's business is not doing well recently, or maybe your country's economy is not doing well. That's why Aiwa had been making losses these few years. "
Feng Yu continued: "From what I know, your company had spent 6 billion USD to acquire Columbia TriStar Studios in the US last September. This is your company's biggest overseas acquisition and had used up all of your company's funds. In the first half of this year, your company's finances are in the red and will surely suffer losses this year. You do not have the time to care about Aiwa. I do not want such an established company to go bankrupt. That's why I want to acquire Aiwa's shares from your company. "
Last year, Japan's economy was in recession, but some big companies were still doing well. For example, Mitsubishi had bought New York's landmark, Rockefeller Center, and Sony had acquired Columbia.
At that time, the Japanese were still arrogant. They felt that the recession was only temporary, and it will be over soon. With the support of these big companies, Japan will still be the world's second largest economy and will overtake the US sooner or later.
Also, if they were to acquire companies in the US, they would be able to show the Japanese's prestige. When they acquire big companies in the US, they will be happy to see the Americans helpless and unable to retaliate.
But they did not know that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy of the American capitalists. It was to make Japan explode when it reached its peak, so that it could give them the most painful blow!
After acquiring the so-called best film company in the United States last year, they found that the film market was not as good as they had imagined. Columbia, under their control, did not show any signs of turning losses into profits. Instead, the losses continued to increase.
Now, Sony's goal was to dump some of their bad assets and reduce their funds to tide over the current crisis. They believed that the future was still bright. They will become the world's best company, and Japan will become the world's number one economy!
At the beginning of the year, Sony had tried to sell Aiwa's shares. But in the end, the bidders were all their competitors. To prevent their competitors from getting stronger, Sony would rather suffer losses to maintain their market share.
But these two months, the company's losses were getting worse. If not, Sony would not want to expand Hua Xia's market share and let Hua Xia's market share to save their company.
Now, someone was trying to buy Aiwa's shares, and this was a good opportunity for Sony to dump this burden. But Feng Yu must make sure that after this Hua Xia bought Aiwa's shares, he must not sell it to Panasonic's competitors!
"Mr Feng, you know our company very well. I think we can have a good talk."
