After hanging up the phone with Chen Xing, Wang Shan dialed Zhang Jinzong's phone number and said directly: "Old Zhang, tell that guy where to come from and where to go back."
"Ah? Just drive him away?"
Zhang Jinzong was confused, what are you doing?
Driving people away?
Are you so heartless?
You must know that Saitoi is the chairman of the FSA Financial Agency, in charge of the domestic economy of the island country, and is a high-level member of their country’s financial system. Is this really a direct expulsion?
"It doesn't seem to be a problem to drive him away directly. Let's do this. You go and have a drink with him. I won't go. I have to go to Treasure Island."
Wang Shan just finished speaking, He added: "Okay, that's it. Hang up the phone. Let's talk next time."
"Wang..."
"Dudu——"
Before Zhang Jinzong could speak, the call had been hung up.
Zhang Jinzong looked at the page that had returned to the mobile phone desktop, glared and cursed angrily: "Well, you Wang Dayan, you are throwing the problem of the century to me, don't get caught by me, otherwise It will definitely make you need oxygen.”
After venting, he walked back and forth in the room, trying to make up an excuse so that everyone would not be so embarrassed.
Of course.
The most important thing is that he wants to retain Japanese capital.
Japanese capital accounts for a considerable part of the Dragon Kingdom's economic system, not to mention 20%, but 7%.
Because whether Alibaba or Penguin, their shareholders have Japanese capital, and there are many large and small companies, they all have Japanese capital injection.
In addition to direct capital injection and holding, there are also a large number of joint ventures, the most typical of which are car companies, which either cooperate with Japanese companies, or cooperate with German or American companies, such as BMW Brilliance, Imperial Mercedes-Benz, and FAW Audi et al.
A car company that can independently build cars and achieve high quality?
It is no exaggeration to say that one can count the number of slaps.
"Forget it about this mess, let them find a solution." Zhang Jinzong thought for five minutes, and a few hairs fell out, but he couldn't think of any good solution.
Now his goal is very clear, he just wants to meet Chen Xing and discuss the Nikkei 225 stock market.
Chen Xing’s absence means rejection.
You have refused. It is definitely not possible for someone to be slaughtered just because of a meal or a few nice words. This financial game between the dragon country and the island country is unavoidable.
Zhang Jinzong picked up his mobile phone and called the leadership team in Shencheng: "Xiaowei, just hold on as steady as possible, and it will take one day. As for other things, don't ask. Okay. Hang up the phone. Let’s talk back.”
“?”
Zhang Wei was completely stunned.
What is this?
What is this called?
He hasn't spoken yet. This is a task forced on him. Why are you delaying it? He has already made it clear that he wants to see Chen Xing!
"Chief Zhang, you have hurt me!"
Zhang Wei secretly pounded the table, then dialed the phone number of his subordinate and said: "Xiao Wang, regarding the matter of Chen Xing and the FSA Financial Department of the island country, You asked someone to stabilize Saitoi and entertain him with the highest standards. There is no upper limit on the budget. You must hold him back as much as possible. Do you understand?"
"Ah?"
Xiao Wang? He was also confused and quickly emphasized: "Mayor, it's not that I don't want to delay, but that Xiao Baga insists on having a meal with Chen Xing tonight..."
"Then you can't lie?"< br>
Zhang Wei pointed it out directly.
"Oh, oh, you can still lie, then I understand, I will tell them." Xiao Wang suddenly understood and responded quickly.
The news was passed layer by layer. When it reached Duan Peifu's ears, he was confused and asked: "You asked me to lie to stabilize Saitoi? What the hell am I trying to do? People say Chen Xing It’s already a showdown with us at the base!”
“What? I have to think about it myself!”
“It’s not Secretary Chen…”
"Dudu——"
The phone was hung up directly. Duan Peifu listened to the busy signal on the phone, and now he was confused and a little at a loss.
Let him find a way to fool Saitoi?
How to fool.
It’s impossible to make a fake Chen Xing, right?
He also saw that the superior leaders did not want to take the blame, so they expressed their stance like this.
Because Saitoi cannot get the answer he wants, he may withdraw Japanese capital, and whoever takes the blame will be punished.
“We usually call each other brothers and sisters, but now that things are better, they treat me as their brother-in-law. Grandma, my career is really deep in the sea.”
After Duan Peifu sighed and accepted his fate, he returned resolutely. Go to the office.
Seeing Duan Peifu come back, Saitoi, who was drinking tea by himself, quickly put down his tea cup, stared into Duan Peifu's eyes and asked: "How is it, Director Duan? With you personally taking action, things should fall into place, right?"
"Oh, I think so too!"
Duan Peifu looked a little ugly. After complaining in his heart, he made up an excuse and said: "That's it, Chen Xing...Chen Xing, um...Chen Xing seems to have to catch a plane. The Imperial Capital, yes, I have to catch a flight to the Imperial Capital, so I can’t attend the dinner tonight.”
“Going to the Imperial Capital?”
Saitoi expressed doubts.
"Yes, let's go to the Imperial Capital." After Duan Peifu found the reason, his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat. He planned to fool him first.
"That's just right. I'm going to the Imperial Capital too. I'll take a look at the latest flight. Maybe I'll catch one in the first class cabin."
Saitoi skillfully took out his mobile phone.
"I misremembered, it seems that we set off just now. Mr. Saitoi, why don't you stay for a few days, and when Chen Xing comes back, I will immediately arrange for you to meet."
Duan Peifu was obviously a little panicked. He finally understood why he couldn't lie.
When you tell a lie, you need to use other lies to cover up the first lie. If you are lucky, it may not be exposed, but if you are bad luck, or there are obvious loopholes, all the lies will be the same. Like mino dominoes, if they are all discovered, the consequences will be extremely serious.
"Already set off?"
Saitoi frowned secretly.
He glanced at the empty chat box and directly exposed Duan Peifu's lies: "You are lying to me. Chen Xing is still at Longxing Base. Director Duan, why did you tell this lie?"
< br> Saitoi’s eyes were blazing, and his tone seemed to be pressing, which was extremely unkind.
It’s not that he wants to be aggressive, the main reason is that the task he has is too heavy, which is related to the financial system of the island country.
As long as the top-ranked countries in the world basically have stock markets.
The stock market, also called the capital market, is a super reservoir, which also reflects the rise and fall of the domestic economy to a certain extent.
Why does the country want to engage in stock market?
The reason is very simple. The stock market can allow companies to obtain listing financing, help companies develop, and can also attract a large amount of funds to idle in it without paying interest.
To put it bluntly, the stock market and property market share financial pressure for banks.
If there is no stock market and property market, then people's money will flow to banks, and bank deposits generally need to pay interest. If all the money is in the bank, currency expansion and depreciation will happen in minutes.
Of course.
The stock market also has two key roles.
1 Let the pension fund find a good place.
2 is to earn interest on users’ deposits.
Perhaps many people don’t know why banks can pay interest on deposits for no reason, but you only need to change your mind and imagine that the bank is asking you to lend money to invest and you will understand.
Nowadays, the island country’s property market is sluggish, the stock market is also sluggish, and there is also the impact of US dollar interest rate hikes. If the Longxing Group continues to exert such pressure, the island country’s economy may collapse.
“Alas!”
Seeing that the lie was exposed in person, Duan Peifu sighed and said: “It’s not that I don’t want to be the middleman to help you connect the dots, but it’s just that this matter is very difficult to handle. I hope President Saitoi can understand my difficulties. "
His words are obvious. Even he, the director of the Foreign Trade Administration, said it is difficult to handle, which means that there is no room for negotiation on this matter.
The current world situation is a life-and-death situation, and negotiation is simply not possible.
Even if you take a step back, Chen Xing is willing to discuss with Saitoi. Is the island country willing to hand over high-end equipment design drawings and shared technologies in the semiconductor field and other fields?
Obviously, this is a dead end.
Your island country is unwilling to hand over, and Longxing Group urgently needs these things to completely get rid of its dependence on third-party companies. This is destined to be irreconcilable and can only be done with real swords and guns.
“Excuse me.”
Saitoi stood up with a sullen face.
He left the Foreign Trade Administration Bureau without saying another word.
……
After returning to the hotel, Saitoi immediately contacted the island country’s Ministry of Finance and senior leaders of the financial system through satellite phone.
After briefly explaining the situation, the financial system departments of the island country were collectively shocked.
"What? You don't want to talk?"
"Chen Xing, Longxing Group, and Long Guo, who are behind it, want to completely blow up our financial system!"
"Baga, fight back! Fight back immediately!"
The island country's FSA Financial Department, Ministry of Finance, Foreign Trade Management Association, and investment management departments all began to take action.
Imperial City Time.
Ten o'clock sharp in the evening.
The mailboxes of the heads of Japanese companies stationed in Longguo all received an unusual email with the title:
"Complete the business transfer as soon as possible and transfer the industry to Southeast Asia. 》
“What happened?”
“Is the world going to change completely?”
"We actually want to withdraw from the Dragon Kingdom?"
The heads of Japanese companies who saw the email were collectively stunned. They had never thought of leaving the Dragon Kingdom because they themselves grew up in the Dragon Kingdom and were proficient in it. Chinese.
The general manager of GAC Toyota was the first to respond. Yushu Yantian issued a group announcement without any hesitation, requesting to stop the production of vehicles and prepare to evacuate technical engineers.
Toyota expressed its stance, and Honda also expressed its stance, choosing to stop producing cars overnight and giving workers a week off.
The sudden change made Zeng Hong, the boss of GAC Group, slam the table on the spot and cursed angrily: "What the hell happened? Who gave the order to stop production?"
He had already gone to bed, but suddenly his subordinates said that two factories of Honda and Toyota had chosen to suspend operations, and an official announcement was made.
Everyone who is familiar with GAC Group knows that it is able to rank among the four major car manufacturers in China largely because it relies on Japanese companies.
Even if the vehicles of GAC Toyota and GAC Honda are not sold nationwide, their dominant position in the second-hand car market can prove that they have really made GAC Group a lot of money.
Why do the used car market favor Honda and Toyota, two Japanese models?
Two words, durable.
Japanese cars are very popular among car owners because of their durability.
"Okay...it seems that the talks between the Longxing Group and the island country have broken down. Now Japanese capital will gradually withdraw from the Dragon Kingdom, just like Western capital." The secretary responded tremblingly.
They completely didn’t expect that before the car war started, just a negotiation would peel off a layer of skin from their Guangzhou Automobile Group.
"Longxing Group..."
"Why is Longxing Group involved again?"
Zeng Hong is really in trouble. The negotiation between your two families has collapsed. Now It was Guangzhou Automobile Group that suffered. This was an unreasonable disaster.
After thinking for a few seconds, he made a decisive decision: "You immediately contact the two general managers of Toyota and Honda and tell them that I will be waiting for them in the No. 1 conference room of GAC Group." "Understood. ”
“Fast, fast!”
“Okay boss!”
The moment the phone was hung up, Zeng Hong hurriedly looked for clothes and planned to rush back to the company.
Mrs. Zeng, who was wearing pink pajamas on the bed and exposed a large area of the scenery, glanced at the time, looked at Zeng Hong who was getting dressed with sleepy eyes and asked puzzledly: "Old Zeng, why are you going?"
"Something happened at the company. I need to rush back." Zeng Hong didn't want to explain too much, so he put on his belt and walked out.
“What could happen over there?”
Mrs. Zeng was a little confused.
In her opinion, Guangzhou Automobile Group is just a machine responsible for collecting money. She does not need to pay much attention to it at all. She can just sit back and make money.
Why do you say that?
Toyota and Honda want to enter the Long Country market. According to regulations, they need to find local car companies in Long Country to cooperate, and the profits can be split 50-50 before they are allowed to enter.
In other words, automobile manufacturing, automobile after-sales, and automobile technology are all provided by Japanese companies, but GAC Group basically does nothing and can take away 50% of the profits.
Not only Honda and Toyota, but also Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi want to enter the Dragon Country market. They all need to find a local car company to cooperate. Only local production of cars can be allowed to be sold.
Originally, the country wanted local car companies to take this opportunity to learn advanced foreign car-making technologies, but they did not expect that they would not be able to learn. There are too many patented technologies for fuel vehicles, and some high-end production machinery and equipment are not available in Longguo. .
Over time, these local car companies have lived a life of "rent collection".
“It’s a big deal. It’s so big that it’s hard to predict. Guangzhou Automobile Group is about to undergo a reshuffle.” Zeng Hong looked back at his wife, and then walked out quickly.
At the same time.
The CEOs of FAW Group, Changan Automobile Group, Dongfeng Group and other joint venture car companies with Japan were woken up by the ringing of their phones late at night.
At first, they were all furious, but then they all panicked and chose to return to the company overnight to discuss countermeasures.
Japanese cars are leaving, this is no joke.
However, these people are not reluctant to let them go, but they are reluctant to let the island country's engineers leave. Once they lack technical assistance, their car-making technology will decline rapidly.
……
And on the other side.
Dragon Kingdom Magic City.
SAIC Group Headquarters Base.
Boss Chen Hong has returned to the company and held a special emergency meeting. All six people from the decision-making level have arrived, and everyone is ready.
“The automotive field may really be reshuffled. According to my informants, it is said that the talks between Longxing Group and the FSA Financial Services Agency of the island country have collapsed, and the Japanese joint venture car collective has announced that it will carry out industrial transfer. This is a knock for us. The alarm bell has sounded."
Chen Hong's tone was extremely solemn. He is a person who is prepared for danger in times of peace.
Although SAIC does not cooperate with Japanese car companies, it has inextricable cooperation with Western car companies, such as General Motors and Volkswagen.
No one expected that this financial battle would actually reach the automotive field, and now Chen Hong must find a way to survive.
"Then what are we going to do now?"
Someone asked.
At this moment, someone stood up, looked directly at Chen Hong and said: "I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an excellent opportunity to re-divide the automobile market share."
"Keep talking."
Chen Hong said with interest.
“I guess it won’t be long before Japanese cars withdraw, and American cars may also withdraw. At that time, it will be time to accumulate domestic products, and we happen to have this background.”
The words fell. .
Chen Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Not to mention, what a great opportunity!
If the Japanese joint venture cars leave, there will be a gap in the Longguo automobile market. Whoever can eat it will have an increased share of the cake.
“What about fuel and new energy?”
Chen Hong asked again.
At present, SAIC Group has reserved two new energy vehicles, one is a family car and the other is an SUV.
Not only SAIC, but also car companies such as BAIC, GAC, Changan, BYD, etc. have already stocked up on their own new energy vehicles, waiting for whoever comes out first to light the fuse.
“New energy is the future trend.”
“Yes, new energy.”
“I heard that new energy has a special license. The national attitude is very obvious. We must support the rapid development of new energy vehicles.”
“I also support new energy.”
Nearly everyone in the conference room supports the continued development of new energy vehicles.
Originally they were not optimistic about new energy vehicles, but since Tesla and Pilot 001 entered the road test stage, they discovered what is the future development trend of cars.
Today’s fuel vehicles are equivalent to the push-button mobile phones in 2007 and have not many uses. The main focus of new energy vehicles is intelligence, which is equivalent to the smartphone era in 11 years. This makes the CEO of Longguo Automobile Company Smelled something unusual.
It is precisely for this reason that Longguo's car companies have all started the "True Fragrance Law" and silently began to reserve new energy vehicles.
"Then let's get another new energy vehicle." Chen Hong made the decision immediately.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, when will our Zhiji car be officially released?"
Thanks to the technical assistance of foreign car companies, SAIC Group built the first Zhiji car in just three months. In terms of performance, it is not inferior to the parameters leaked by Tesla.
"Wait a little longer."
Chen Hong did not dare to light the fuse rashly.
He knows very well that BYD, GAC, FAW and other friendly companies now have new energy vehicles in reserve. They are all waiting for Tesla or Linghang 001 to be the first to announce the parameters, and then adjust the parameters themselves to take advantage of others.
……
Shenzhen, BYD Group.
Boss Wang Fu also received the news and rushed back to his company to hold a meeting.
“Japanese car companies have announced their withdrawal, so this is our opportunity. Boss, we can no longer wait for Tesla and Pilot Auto to release it first!”
“That’s right, it’s time to take action. Attack, besides, our new energy vehicles are not vegetarian, they can’t surpass them!”
“It’s time to hold a press conference.”
“Boss, let’s make a quick decision whether we should announce the press conference to the public or not!”
Wang Fu was a little shaken for a moment as he listened to everyone’s anxious urging. , but in the end he restrained himself and said in a deep voice: "The first shot will kill the bird, we cannot ignite this thread."
"But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Someone Persuade again.
“This is an opportunity, but it is also an abyss. Don’t you see that other car companies are waiting?” Wang Fu’s tone was a bit colder.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to hold a press conference for new energy vehicles, but that he doesn’t want to stand out and be besieged by fellow car companies.
Why do you say that?
Take mobile phones as an example.
When Apple 8 was released first, Chen Xing was asked to run the test. As a result, every parameter of Apple 8 was crushed by the latter.
You have 14 nanometers, I have 7 nanometers, you have 7 nanometers, and my computing power is stronger than yours. Let’s see if you dare to continue to release it in advance.
Whoever releases it first will suffer. This does not only apply to electronic products, but also to cars.
Seeing that Wang Fu insisted on striking later, the others said no more.
……
Shenzhen star hotel.
Presidential Suite.
Saitoi sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, like a ferocious wild wolf.
He really didn’t expect that the Dragon Kingdom and the Island Kingdom would reach such a step, nor did he expect that the two countries would take the lead in starting a financial war.
I thought that if the company divests, Duan Peifu and other leadership team members will try to retain the company and apologize.
Results…
No one called him.
This made six words flash in Saitoi's mind, that is, "If you want to fight, then fight."
“No one has contacted us for so long. It seems that they have been peeking at the Nikkei 225 for a long time. How should we respond now?” asked an accompanying member of the FSA Financial Services Agency.
"Wait for two days. If no one has contacted us yet, I will make them pay. The car is just the beginning!"
Saitoi said solemnly.
There are countless Longguo companies that the island country has invested in. Now that the car companies are leaving, it is just a warning. If no one contacts him within two days, he doesn't mind completely overturning the table.
At a time when the automotive and financial circles were undergoing rapid changes, Chen Xing, who was sitting at his desk, had already witnessed his opponents taking the lead.
"Withdraw the car companies?"
"Huh..."
He sneered, not caring at all about the withdrawal of Japanese car companies.
His original plan was to have Tesla hold a car launch conference first, and then slowly adjust the Pilot 001 car according to the parameters, so as to achieve the effect of striking first and killing the car with one strike.
But he really didn’t expect that car companies would choose to hold their breath underwater.
You won’t hold a new car launch conference?
Then I won’t hold it either.
This is a secret fight to see who can hold it back.
"Since no one is willing to publish it first, then I will be the lead." Chen Xing murmured to himself.
Originally, his plan was to strike later and look at Tesla's configuration first, but now the FSA Financial Services Agency wants to use Japanese car companies to withdraw from the Dragon Country market to put pressure on Chen Xing. What can he do? I can only eat my share of Japanese cars with tears in my eyes!
Thinking of this, Chen Xing picked up the mobile phone on the table, found Rebus' WeChat account, and sent him a voice message saying: "The plan has changed and we are going to hold a press conference."
"Whoops——"
The message was successfully delivered.
Originally, Chen Xing thought that Rebus was already asleep and did not call to disturb his sleep, but less than half a minute after the message was sent, a call came from the Imperial Capital.
“I’m not asleep yet, brother Lei.” Chen Xing said hello after pressing the answer button.
"I want to sleep too, but you kid makes such a big noise, how can I sleep?" After Rebus finished complaining, his tone became equally serious and asked: "You have really decided, To be the first to hold a press conference before Tesla?”
Originally, Chen Xing, Rebus, and Ren Guofei had already discussed it. After the Tesla press conference, they would make adjustments according to the vehicle parameters to ensure The Pilot 001 car can completely crush Tesla and make Masik's "Betting Agreement" lose even his pants.
But now, Chen Xing actually wants to hold a press conference and wants to be the first to light the fuse, but the plan is really not as good as the change.
"Yes." Chen Xing responded and gave the reason: "The island country wants to threaten us with Honda and Toyota withdrawing from the Longguo market. I will definitely not go as they want, not to mention leading the 001 route. After testing for so long, it’s time to become an industry benchmark and let domestic car companies strive to catch up.”
