Chapter 190: Trouble has won people's hearts since ancient times
If you look through history books, you will see that many people who are considered wise and powerful will suddenly do something that is incomprehensible to future generations and the outside world at a certain period of time. Come on, it's like you suddenly lost your mind.
The reasons for this may be various, but if you look closely at their situation at the time, you will find that they were all in internal and external troubles and their status was in danger. In order to maintain their power and status, they would Do many things that they may not have been able to do in the past!
Why Makoto Yamashina became the second-generation president of Bandai Company is not because of his outstanding abilities, but because he is the biological son of Bandai founder Naoharu Yamashina.
Now, with the troubles that Makoto Yamashina has encountered, the identity of Naoharu Yamashina's biological son is no longer useful. Naoharu Yamashina's health is very bad this year. Once the news comes out, Makoto Yamashina will be kicked out of Bandai, and Yamashina The family lost the controlling stake in Bandai Corporation, and with Naoharu Yamashina's physical condition, he might just die out of anger.
By that time, Yamako Makoto will lose his position as the president of Bandai Company, his controlling stake in Bandai Company will be gone, and he will pass away. For Yamako Makoto, he simply cannot imagine that kind of scene, and he is unwilling to see it even if he dies. To that scene!
Putting down the phone in his hand and looking at Chizawa Miao and the veteran of the Yamashina family in front of him, Yamashina Makoto had a look of both happiness and reluctance on his face.
The phone call just now was from someone from Ning's Trading Company in Hong Kong City. Shan Kecheng had not been deeply impressed by Ning Wenke before and thought he was just a trading agent in Hong Kong City.
But just now, Ning Wenke expressed to Shan Kecheng that Dongling Hi-Tech, as a "small shareholder" of Bandai, expressed its support for Shan Kecheng and expressed its "willingness" to provide more support if necessary. , Shan Kecheng can go to Hong Kong City to talk!
What does this mean? How could Shan Kecheng not hear it? Dongling Hi-Tech, which Shan Kecheng once looked down upon and thought it was just a fluke that he developed the electronic pet machine, now wants to interfere in Bandai's affairs!
Stealing the electronic pet machine industry is regarded by Yamako Makoto as his most proud work, and he was praised by the Japanese media. However, this project that brought Yamako Makoto all the flowers and applause last year has attracted him this year. to hell.
Now, the company that Yamako Makoto despised and did not even regard as an opponent, the company that he did not take seriously, has actually jumped out and pointed fingers at Bandai. You can only imagine how Yamako Makoto feels. Know.
But unwilling to give up, the appearance of Dongling Hi-Tech was like a life-saving straw, allowing Shan Kecheng, who was about to drown, to see a glimmer of hope. No wonder he was so entangled!
Whether or not to accept Ning Wenke’s invitation has been lingering in Shan Kecheng’s mind for a long time. Shan Kecheng himself must be very proud, but now the situation is stronger than others. The knife is on his neck. His father Shan Kecheng Naoji is no longer able to help him, who can Yamako Makoto count on?
After walking around the office several times, the red-eyed Yamako Makoto finally made up his mind and looked at the two people in front of him, "I'm going to the port city. You guys have to be safe here in Japan." No matter what we do, we can’t let them hold a board meeting before I return to Tokyo, and we can’t re-elect a new president!”
"Bandai Company, surnamed Yamashina family, will always be, no one can take Bandai away from the hands of the Yamashina family!"
Before leaving the office, Yamashina Cheng said through gritted teeth.
When Bandai was caught in a media storm, its stock price plummeted, and various rumors began to emerge. Rumors about Yamako Makoto stepping down, Bandai going bankrupt with huge losses, and delisting continued, Yamako Makoto quietly took a plane and came to Port city.
After talking with Ning Wenke for an hour and a half in Hong Kong City, they flew to the mainland together.
“I hope this time I go to Hanxi, I won’t disappoint anyone. I’m really crazy. At this time, I leave all my affairs behind and fly to the mainland!” On the plane, Shan Kecheng couldn’t bear to say anything. He kept saying to Ning Wenke.
Ning Wenke looked at Shan Kecheng, who was obviously confused, and put down the newspaper in his hand, "Besides Dongling Hi-Tech, President Shan Kecheng, is there any better choice?!"
"Donngling Hi-Tech never disappoints allies. President Shan Kecheng, didn't you realize that last time?!"
Facing Ning Wenke's words, Shan Kecheng was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say anything now It must have been Tanglin Hi-Tech that tricked him. Last year, it wasn't Tanglin Hi-Tech that rushed to beg him to acquire the electronic pet machine business, but Bandai, who desperately used various means to acquire it.
Even if it failed this time, it had nothing to do with Donglin Hi-tech. It was not Li Dongling who asked Bandai to produce machines worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It was Bandai that was too greedy, forgot risks and fears, and ended up losing money. I'm almost dying.
“I hope so!”
Yamashina couldn't help but admit that Bandai's crisis was his fault, so he could only groan and start to close his eyes and fall asleep.
Looking at Shan Kecheng, Ning Wen couldn't help but compare with Li Dongling. She couldn't help but shake her head. In Shan Kecheng, the gap between the second generation founder and the first generation founder was almost vividly reflected.
To be honest, Yamako Makoto’s performance is not bad among his peers. Although the game console jointly produced with Apple failed miserably, it depends on who the opponent is. Let alone Bandai, this is Microsoft’s first time entering the game console industry. At that time, it was also beaten by Nintendo and Sony, and it lost more than 10 billion US dollars before it could gain a firm foothold in the industry.
As for the failure of the electronic pet machine this time, no one, let alone Yamako Makoto, could have imagined that something that was in short supply in the first two months would become uninterested overnight. It’s so weird. Really.
However, looking at Yamako Makoto, who had a tired face, closed his eyes and frowned, but obviously couldn't sleep, Ning Wen felt that it was more like a foil to the man's decisiveness, and the electronic pet machine was placed in the Selling at the highest point, the decisiveness of a strong man who cuts off his wrist, is not something that everyone can learn.
Yamako Makoto is not as good as that man, but he has been in charge of Bandai for so many years, and his ability is already good. The second generation of the wealthy families in Hong Kong City are not as good as Yamako Makoto, let alone being able to catch Ning Wenke's eyes!
"President Shan Kecheng, long time no see!"
Li Dongling received Ning Wenke and Shan Kecheng who came from the provincial capital airport at Yuhe Leisure Resort.
It is not advisable to make a big fanfare when meeting with Shan Kecheng, to avoid spreading rumors and causing unexpected situations. To acquire the equity of Bandai, you can only enter the village quietly, not to shoot...
Yuhe Leisure Although the resort hotel in the resort has not yet been built, several small single-family bungalows used for sleeping have been built. You can stay overnight in the Yuhe Leisure Resort, but there are only a few small bungalows now. The building can only accommodate some people.
After shaking hands with Shan Kecheng, Li Dongling looked at Ning Wenke and nodded slightly to her.
"Mr. Li..."
At this time, Shan Kecheng wanted to speak, but Li Dongling smiled and said, "President Shan Kecheng and Mr. Ning have come all the way, and they are ready here. Food, have a good rest today. If you have anything to do, we can discuss it tomorrow!” Rentou, even though he was extremely anxious, had no choice but to suppress his mood and reluctantly smiled and agreed.
For this meal, the Shandong cuisine chef who was just recruited by Yuhe Leisure Resort put in a lot of effort and showed off all the skills in his hands. It is definitely better than ramen with rice and fried noodles. , half-cooked raw eggs and other Japanese delicacies taste much better. Li Dongling and Ning Wen enjoyed the food very much and had a few drinks, but Shan Kecheng was so exhausted that he ate a few bites in a hurry and left with the excuse of being tired.
Looking at Shan Kecheng's leaving figure, Ning Wenke and Li Dongling looked at each other, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
Li Dongling did not deliberately hang on Shan Kecheng. Dongling Hi-tech's acquisition of Bandai Company is not a trivial matter, nor can it be decided in a few words. It takes just a moment and a half, and neither is Bandai. I can really fall down in these few hours.
On the other hand, it is also necessary to let Shan Kecheng understand the current situation and change his mentality, otherwise the conversation will not continue at all.
After Shan Kecheng left, Li Dongling and Ning Wenke became more relaxed without this "outsider". They drank another soup and then walked towards the Yuhe Leisure Resort.
Ning Wenke looked at the Yuhe Leisure Resort in front of her, which was gradually covered with various trees, flowers, and vegetation. Compared with the previous bare reservoir, the scenery had become somewhat pleasant. Coupled with the existence of the reservoir, Ning Wen felt It feels like the air here is much better than in downtown Hong Kong.
“I heard that the old man is awake?”
The two walked hand in hand on the road paved with bluestones. Li Dongling said to Ning Wenke, “It’s a pity that I couldn’t visit the old man in person. I say hello to the old man, and I will definitely pay him a visit in person if I have the chance!"
Hearing Li Dongling mention Ning Wantian, Ning Wenke glanced at him and said, "My dad also wants to see you!"
"The Wanjia Electrical Appliance City in Hong Kong City and Singapore is currently under construction. It is expected to be initially opened next year. Next, it will be built..."
Except for the mainland market, Wanjia Electric City's business in Asia is managed and operated by the Ning family. Ning Wenke naturally needs to mention the situation of Wanjia Electric City to Li Dongling.
“After these two electrical appliance cities are completed, don’t start building the new Wanjia Electric Appliance City for the time being!”
Ning Wenke was about to continue talking, but she heard Li Dongling stop Wanjia Electric Appliance City! Electric City continued to expand in Asia, which made her stunned for a moment.
Ning Wenke then reacted and her eyes suddenly changed. If it hadn’t been for the incident between Bandai and the electronic pet machine, she wouldn’t have thought too much about it, but with this precedent, Ning Wenke had to let Ning Wenke After thinking about it for a while, Li Dongling suddenly stopped Wanjia Electric City's intention to expand in Asia.
"Mr. Li, what news have you heard?" Ning Wenke asked Li Dongling.
Li Dongling looked at Ning Wenke's somewhat heroic face. Ning Wenke's temperament was somewhat similar to that of Tristin Stewart, but she had a bit more oriental softness.
After thinking for a while, Li Dongling said, "Electrical appliance malls are asset-heavy investments. Wanjia Electric Appliance Mall is a new brand. It is not suitable to invest too much in stores. The capital chain is too long. If something goes wrong, it is likely that the capital will be lost." The chain is broken and we are in trouble, even desperate situation!"
Ning Wenke frowned. What Li Dongling said is not something profound. It is the most basic and commonplace thing in business school, but it can really There are not many companies that comply, because people are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants!
Who is willing to stop suddenly when seeing the possibility of making a lot of money? Now the Asian economy is prosperous. As representatives of Asia, the Four Little Dragons regions have annual economic growth of more than 10%. It is simply a raging fire. Flowers are blooming, stocks and real estate are rising steadily, and the integration of Asia seems to be prosperous.
Bangzi, Siam and even mainland companies are clamoring to rush out of Asia and go global. They borrow heavily from banks, Wall Street and European consortiums to expand, acquire overseas companies, and even borrow money to get more loans. That kind of short-term high-interest debt, this method is to borrow new debt to repay old debt. You don't need to repay the principal, you only need to repay the interest.
If they knew there would be a thunderstorm next, no company like Daewoo and Samsung would dare to play this way. However, in the past ten years, everything has been fine. This made them relax their vigilance and have acquiesced in this way of playing. They think that it will also happen in the future. It will all go on like this.
"Next, Asia Wanjia Electrical Appliance City will suspend the opening of new stores, and borrow long-term loans from banks, preferably more than five years, and borrow as much as you can!" Li Dongling said to Ning Wen Ke explained.
After next year, when Soros comes to Asia and sets off that storm, in addition to shaking up all parts of Asia, he will also leave behind a pile of Chinese cabbage. With cash, Wanjia Electric City can purchase other large shopping malls and stores at a bargain price and use them for Wanjia Electric City. This is much better than Wanjia Electric City working hard to build stores and then owe a lot of debt!
Various thoughts flashed through Ning Wenke's mind. She was originally planning to expand Ning's Trading Company in the past two years, but now that she heard Li Dongling's words, she needed to think about it. At least she had something on hand. Only if she has enough cash, Ning Wenke has no doubts about Li Dongling's vision and decision-making.
“Are you really ready to let Tanglin Hi-Tech acquire Bandai?!”
The stars hung overhead, and the lights of the entire Yuhe Leisure Resort began to light up one after another. They walked to a chair near the fishing ground. After Ning Wenke and Li Dongling sat down, she asked directly.
Seeing Li Dongling nod, Ning Wenke said directly, "Now there is an opportunity to intervene in Bandai, but it is not easy to save Bandai, unless there is a project like a second electronic pet machine!"< br>
Li Dongling heard the worry in Ning Wenke's words and laughed, "I believe that Bandai has hope of survival. It may not be that easy to have a second electronic pet machine project, but... …Maybe there will be other projects!”
Li Dongling hopes to win Bandai to make Bandai the cash cow and money bag of Tanglin High-tech, so that it can earn foreign exchange for Donglin High-tech every year, but he does not hope to win it every year. How shameless is it to pay to keep it?
If he really takes over Bandai, Li Dongling will naturally have plans for Bandai. If he wants Bandai to turn around, he really needs a project that can quickly absorb money and make huge profits. The electronic pet machine project will not work, but With the copyright and IP in Bandai’s hands, what would happen if a blind box like Bubble Mart was launched? !
Relying on a blind box, regardless of whether it is cutting leeks or not, after its listing, its market value reached a maximum of more than 154.8 billion yuan, converted into US dollars, more than 25.8 billion US dollars, comparable to many established fashion giants.
As long as the pit is dug deep enough, with Bandai’s IP copyright, product development and publicity capabilities, and the Pop Mart blind box model, I believe that Japan’s leek cannot be cut off!
