Boss Jiang arrived relatively quickly.
After all, Li Shurui troubled him too few times.
And Donghai Disneyland was originally his gift to Li Shurui, and at the same time, it was also the fulfillment of his promise.
After he arrived, Wu Sheng immediately gave him a big middle finger.
Jiang Chen is funny on the inside but calm on the outside. Li Shurui roughly described the cause and effect of the incident to him on the phone, so he was severely despised by this kid this time. Well, it is not unfair, even if it is actually He doesn't have much responsibility.
I got the shares of Tokai Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland after going to Japan.
The discrimination against ordinary tourists at Donghai Disneyland has been around for a long time and did not just appear today.
That’s right.
It’s discrimination.
The description of "differentiated treatment" is too beautiful. It is not impossible to deceive oneself and others, but it does not make any sense. Sticking one's head in the soil will not change the reality.
The thoughts of foreign adults cannot be discussed. After all, Disney is a foreign company and it is understandable to treat its own people preferentially. However, Donghai Disney is located in the East China Sea, and more than 90% of its annual turnover is provided by domestic tourists.
So it stands to reason.
The majority should be the ones to please.
It’s a pity that Disney went in the opposite direction, which makes people even more outraged.
To use an Eastern slang, it means picking up the bowl to eat and then putting the bowl down to curse.
Is Disney entirely responsible for this unfair phenomenon?
Not necessarily.
After all, Disneyland is not a sole proprietorship, but a bilateral cooperation project.
Even if the control is not in your hands, you will always have some say, right?
It shouldn’t be difficult to say a few fair words at the conference.
certainly.
Perhaps those Chinese partners with the Disney Group before Jiang Chen have tried hard and tried, but it may not have worked.
After all, when the Disneyland project was launched, the status of the two parties was not equal. Just like in many areas, when attracting investment, they begged others to come. However, today, the situation has long been gone. Today is different from the past. Donghai Disney has become the most profitable amusement park in the world.
But.
One thing cannot be changed.
In a nominal cooperative operation, the control rights are always firmly in the hands of others. In this case, if we want to fight for the rights and interests that ordinary tourists should have, whether we can do it depends on more than just cooperation with China. The party itself, and more importantly, the tourists themselves.
The traitor beats and scolds you, but you are tolerant without a bottom line. You still treat yourself as an ancestor and accept everything. How can you blame your family for not speaking up for you?
Just like Wu Sheng.
I was always called Wu Guangjiang by his first name at home, but Lan’s father didn’t go to school to find the teacher to blame him for not educating him, right?
When Jiang Chen arrived, it was already noon, but there was still a huge queue at the gate of the paradise.
certainly.
Order has been restored.
Li Shurui and others were invited into the office.
"Mr. Jiang, I am Kong Zilai, the operations director of Donghai Disneyland."
Kong Zilai reached out.
But Boss Jiang, who always treated others with courtesy, turned a blind eye and only glanced at this senior migrant worker.
Kong Zilai was not embarrassed and took his hand back calmly and naturally. After all, he knew that if the situation got to this point, if he didn't mention that the person who came was unkind, at least the other party would definitely not be in a good mood.
Bernard was sitting leisurely and comfortably on the boss's chair, talking to his subordinates, as if he didn't notice Jiang Chen's entrance.
Boss Jiang has probably not experienced this feeling of being ignored for a long time.
Even if she is as noble as Ms. Cynthia, she will at least give him a straight look when they meet.
The president of a paradise?
How can you be so virtuous?
Of course.
The two are currently partners. Jiang Chen will definitely not do anything like blowing his beard and staring. Wu Sheng's behavior is like a child's. It is refreshing, but it cannot solve the problem.
Seeing that the other party was busy, he did not interrupt him for the time being. He reached into his pocket, took out a brand new mobile phone, and threw it to Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng, who poked Lou Zi, almost missed it.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t you want a mobile phone? The mobile phone card is already installed.”
Maybe the surprise came too suddenly, Wu Sheng was stunned. Weighing the mobile phone in his hand, after hesitation, he raised his hand and said, "Give it back, I don't want it anymore."
Jiang Chen was surprised, "Why don't you want it anymore?"
Wu Sheng curled his lips.
“A gentleman loves money, and he must get it wisely!”
Duanmu Liuli and Li Shurui were silent, but Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile.
This guy is not completely ignorant.
There is still a little ink in my stomach.
Knowing that he thought he was being used as a pawn to foreigners, Jiang Chen didn’t defend himself.
“You really don’t want it?”
Wu Sheng was very personal and threw the phone back directly.
Jiang Chen caught it and smiled even more.
Many times the characteristics of children are really shameful.
Doting is definitely not advisable. Since this kid doesn't want it, Jiang Chen certainly won't rush to give it away, so he put the phone back in his trouser pocket.
Bernard is still giving orders to his subordinates.
The other party hadn't finished his work yet, so Jiang Chen simply stopped waiting and actually asked Li Shurui and others to leave with him.
Kong Zilai was unexpected and didn’t know whether he should stay or not.
"Mr. Jiang."
Just when Jiang Chen turned around, the president of Donghai Disney finally finished handling his official duties, which was quite timely.
As if he had forgotten the previous unpleasantness with Li Shurui. In the business world, there can be no differences of opinion. Bernard stood up and returned to his gentlemanly and polite smile.
“The luncheon is ready, let’s eat together.”
As the saying goes, you can’t hit someone with a smile.
No matter how big the conflict is, the scene must be taken into consideration. This is a rule and tacit understanding in doing business. As the president of Donghai Disney for so long, this is not the first time that Bernard has dealt with people from China. , thinking that it would be the same this time, holding the handle in hand.
After all, Donghai Disney is a chicken that lays golden eggs, a never-ending cornucopia.
Who would have trouble with money?
Everyone is making money comfortably, what’s wrong with that? How could we ruin the harmony for the sake of the cows and horses?
Treat existence differently, but so what?
It is only the ordinary people who are discriminated against.
This logic has no problem at all in the business world, but this time he encountered a person who did not abide by business rules, or in other words, did not abide by traditional business rules.
"Does your company intend to repurchase Donghai Disney's shares?"
Without any foreshadowing or embellishment, Jiang Chen's blunt words shocked the entire audience.
What a spirit. Bernard couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Mr. Jiang, are you sure you want to sell your shares?"
The so-called "joint operation" is definitely not a voluntary choice of the Disney Group, but a last resort.
Like in other regions, if you want to build a Disneyland locally, you must cooperate with local companies. To put it bluntly, it is just to get a share of the pie, otherwise the project will not be implemented.
The same goes for other Disney parks.
Everyone knows the popularity of Disneyland. It can be said that you are guaranteed to make money without losing money. With shares, even without management rights, you will receive a steady stream of dividends. Is this equivalent to giving up the money printing machine?
“If your company is willing, we can negotiate.”
Jiang Chen nodded, not as if he was joking.
Bernard was moved, but he still couldn’t believe how someone could be so stupid.
"Mr. Jiang, are you sure you have thought it through?"
Suddenly.
Li Shurui felt her arm being gently pulled by someone. She turned around and saw that it was Wu Sheng.
“What did they say? Can you help translate?”
Because Jiang Chen and Bernard were communicating in English, this kid couldn’t understand.
Li Shurui acted as a simultaneous translator, not only to help Wu Sheng, but also to prevent Duanmu Liuli, who also did not understand the language, from listening to the heavenly book.
"Mr. Bernard can ask the Disney Group for instructions."
"No need to ask for instructions."
Seeing that the other party seemed to have this intention, Bernard immediately made the decision He responded, even slightly eagerly: "As long as Mr. Jiang is willing to buy, I will definitely pay you a price that satisfies you."
Young man.
It’s still easy to be impulsive.
To do such a stupid thing just for the sake of anger.
Getting their shares back has always been their dream.
Bernard wanted to sign the contract right now, lest the other party would regret it, but looking at that calm and indifferent face, for some reason, he felt that something was wrong.
Youth is youth.
But since you can take over the shares of the park, are you really so short-sighted?
"May I ask, why did Mr. Jiang sell his shares?"
"Because the dividend period of this park is coming to an end."
Bernard was startled. , and then frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Water can carry a boat and also capsize it. I wonder if Mr. Bernard has heard this sentence in China for so long. A company that does not respect its customers will It’s hard to be optimistic about its prospects.”
Jiang Chen’s tone was quite objective and calm, as if he was speaking from the standpoint of a pure investor.
Bernard smiled.
really.
It was still because of the trivial things that happened in the morning.
I couldn’t tell that the other party was accusing me in disguise, but Bernard did not explain. He responded calmly: "If you want to gain respect, you must first respect yourself. Mr. Jiang, do you think I am right? "
Not to mention Jiang Chen, even Wu Sheng who listened to Li Shurui's reaction understood what the foreigner meant.
This is ridicule and provocation!
He involuntarily clenched his teeth and wanted to take action again, but unlike at the entrance, the group watching the door was nakedly discriminatory, but what the foreigner said, apart from being irritating, there seemed to be nothing wrong with him. !
If you don’t respect yourself and expect others to respect you, isn’t that nonsense? !
He had heard it at the door before. This was not the first time that such a violation of human rights was done here, but some people came here again despite having encountered it before.
This is so... so ridiculous!
Facing Bernard’s questioning, Jiang Chen didn’t speak. He really had nothing to say.
The true reality made it impossible for him to refute the other party.
Sometimes when you are discriminated against, you really can’t put all the blame on one party.
If you don’t want dignity, why should others give you dignity?
The other person was speechless. Bernard was satisfied and said calmly: "Mr. Jiang should think carefully before making a decision. No matter what you do, there will be no problem in the blocked situation in our paradise. Change.”
This should be considered a well-intentioned reminder.
But.
It’s also humiliating.
Wu Sheng felt his teeth itching, but he couldn't get it. He was just reckless, not unreasonable.
The foreigner's confidence in being so arrogant comes from the local tourists who are being discriminated against. How can he fight against injustice?
“Mr. Bernard, Disney’s current prosperity is not due to how good it is, but because there is no better choice. If a better park appears, Mr. Bernard feels that tourists What will we choose?”
"There won't be a better Disneyland in the world."
Bernard said it without thinking.
“There may not be one now, but I am considering building one.”
The office suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at this oriental man who spoke astonishingly.
"Haha, it seems that a Chinese entrepreneur once said this, but it turned out."
Bernard smiled and shrugged, his humor mixed with disdain.
Jiang Chen’s expression didn’t change, “VIP has increased the price and skips the queue, and tourists are not allowed to bring their own snacks. Dozens of bottles of drinking water are sold. If a fairy tale world can be built with money, then it is not too difficult. "
Bernard's expression changed slightly.
Jiang Chen looked at him, "Mr. Bernard has experience in this area. Is 100 billion enough to build a better paradise? 200 billion?"
President Bernard, who loves to laugh, can no longer laugh.
He looked solemn and did not question the other party's strength, "Who would do a loss-making business?"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and replied quite simply.
“I can afford to lose this little money.”
Not to mention other people, Wu Sheng was shocked in an instant, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Chen completely changed.
Grass.
This pretense makes people feel hot all over!
Thinking about the so-called majestic scenes of him in the village and at school, it was like a child playing house!
It was Bernard's turn to be speechless. After holding it for a long time, he said: "It's not just a matter of cost. Disney's reputation and heritage cannot be easily defeated."
"At least your company should know how to respect tourists by then."
Spending so much money just to help people who don't care about their dignity gain respect?
Bernard, a Westerner who puts interests first, cannot and cannot figure it out.
“Moreover, Disney’s success lies in the cooperation of the Chinese market. Previous partners will help you maintain the halo of fairy tales, but fairy tales are just fairy tales. If the media is willing to reveal the real Disney. Uncle. Mr. Nader's so-called foundation and reputation should burst like a bubble."
Jiang Chen took his time and said, "Mr. Bernard seems to have a background in journalism. You should be very aware of the role of public opinion, right? Tourists will line up here to accept unfair treatment because of the herd effect, and they will also pick up their own self-esteem because of the herd effect."
Bernard's face trembled slightly unconsciously, and he fell completely silent. .
"After your company has considered the bid, please contact me."
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around.
Li Shurui held his hand.
Duanmu Liuli followed quietly.
Wu Sheng came to the end and spat contemptuously at a bunch of distracted Disney executives.
"Bah!" (End of this chapter)
