Chapter 136: Building the plank road openly, secretly visiting Chencang
When he was a child, there were many river bends in the village. He also learned to swim, and his skills can only be said to be okay.
However, thanks to his rebirth, his physical fitness has been greatly strengthened, and his ability to hold his breath and swim have improved a lot. This is why he dared to jump down.
The seawater in Tokyo Bay is mixed with too many impurities and looks very turbid.
Fortunately, the woman was wearing a red dress and was easier to find.
After looking left and right, he quickly found the other person. With a sharp movement of his arms, he rushed out like an arrow from a string.
Because he came down in time, the woman had not fallen too deep. After grabbing her arm, he kicked off his legs and swam upward quickly.
Come to the water.
“Brother Liang.”
Hearing the joyful voice, Xu Liang turned his head and saw that Huo Gang jumped down at some point.
Xu Liang's heart surged with heat.
As expected of brothers who grew up together, they would never let themselves face danger alone.
“Let’s go to the shore.”
“Brother Liang, I’ll help you catch her.”
Huo Gang swam over.
His water quality isn't bad either.
“No need, this woman can’t sink.”
Xu Liang paddled with one arm, still very fast.
Come to the shore, lift the woman up and put her on the ground.
First squeeze her abdomen to push out most of the water she drank. Seeing that she was still awake, Xu Liang could only perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
At this time, onlookers also flocked over.
Many people started calling emergency calls.
With Xu Liang’s continuous efforts.
"Wow..."
As a large mouthful of sewage was spit out, the woman's breathing became stronger and her heartbeat resumed.
Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, finally his work was not in vain.
Wow….
There was warm applause from all around.
Miyoko Kagami stumbled over.
"President, your coat."
Xu Liang took it and was about to put it on, but after looking at the woman who was so pale from the cold sea water after she woke up, he hesitated for a while and covered her with his coat.
“Let’s go.”
There are so many people here, he doesn’t need to worry about sending them to the hospital.
Ahh….
I sneezed several times in a row.
He pinched his itchy nose.
“Don’t catch a cold.”
The weather in November is already very cold. Although his physical fitness is good, it is not good enough to withstand the cold.
The crowd automatically parted a way to let the three people pass.
I can’t think of having barbecue now.
First, I found the nearest hotel, got a room, took a hot bath, and put on the new clothes bought by Miyoko Kagami.
I cooked some ginger soup and drank it with Huo Gang before returning to the hotel where I stayed near the company.
Even though he was careful, he still couldn't avoid catching a cold and fever the next day.
"President, are you feeling better?"
Hideo Fukunaga greeted.
"Thank you for coming to see me. I no longer have a fever."
He poured a glass of water and handed it over.
After thanking him, Hideo Fukunaga said with admiration: "Jumping into the cold sea water to save people, the president's moral character is so admirable."
Xu Liang smiled , "How is the woman who was rescued?"
"I heard that she has been taken back by her family. By the way, President. Now your deeds have spread throughout Japan, and many media are fighting for it. You will be reported on, and many media are planning to interview you..."
He interrupted with a wave of his hand.
“There is no need for an interview, I don’t intend to be exposed.”
The reason why he saved people in the first place was completely subconscious, without thinking about personal gain or loss, and he really didn’t intend to be exposed to too many people focus on.
Fukunaga Hideo felt a little regretful. If Xu Liang agreed, the Excite portal could use this topic to hype up, attract attention and increase market share.
Xu Liang also understood what he was thinking, but he didn't point it out.
A business destined to be sold, he no longer cares whether it develops or not.
And even one piece of news cannot make Excite surpass Yahoo Japan.
“Have you contacted Uchida Tetsuya?”
“Already contacted him. He is very interested in our free strategy and has made an appointment to come to the company to discuss it tomorrow morning.”
Now that the Internet industry is in recession, everyone is willing to save money.
"Where's Nifty?"
"I haven't received a reply yet, but I believe I will agree."
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
“Dingle bell….”
Fukunaga Hideo’s cell phone suddenly rang.
After signaling him to pick up, he hung up the phone not long after.
"President, Inoue Masahiro asked us to meet at the company tomorrow morning."
"Our company?"
"Yes."
Xu Liang A smile appeared on his face, "Did you say they heard something?"
Fukunaga Hideo said with a smile: "SoftBank has a great influence in Japan. Maybe they really got the news that Tetsuya Uchida will come to the company tomorrow."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"It would be great if we let the two of them meet tomorrow." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"It should be about the same. After all, they all said in the morning, it will most likely be around nine or ten o'clock, so the probability of meeting is very high."
Xu Liang nodded.
"This time you are responsible for negotiating with the two families, and I will not come forward. If Inoue Masahiro asks, you can tell him my situation. It is not convenient to have a cold and fever." Hideo Fukunaga nodded.
After chatting for a while, we left.
Took out his mobile phone and called Wang Tao, who had gone to Southeast Asia.
It rang for a while and was quickly connected.
"Mr. Xu."
"It's been more than a week since I arrived in Nanyang. How do you feel?"
"It's very different from the domestic environment, especially in terms of work culture. You talk to him It will be useless in the future, and I am not even willing to pay for overtime. The speed of business advancement is simply incomparable to that in China," Wang Tao lamented.
Xu Liang said with a smile: "The only countries in the world that can compare with China in terms of diligence and professionalism are South Korea and Japan, two countries that are deeply influenced by Chinese culture. So, calm down and adapt slowly. . Don’t copy our Chinese work habits and requirements.”
“I understand, but it’s too slow to advance the work.”
Through the phone, he could also feel Wang Tao's anxiety.
With the important task of opening up the Nanyang market, if he ends up spending money but unable to produce results, he himself will not be able to stay in the company any longer.
“You are the backbone of the company in Nanyang. If you lose your bearings, it will mean that the company’s business in Nanyang has failed.
So, calm down and follow the company’s decision-making during the meeting , adapt to local conditions, advance business step by step, and solve problems if they cannot be solved, bring them to the head office for discussion.
Don’t forget, we are all standing behind you, what are you afraid of?”
Wang Tao took a deep breath, "Mr. Xu, thank you for your teaching, I understand."
"When you encounter problems, call and communicate in time. Don't hide it, otherwise small things will change. It's a big deal."
"Understood."
After a few more instructions, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
Looked at the phone and sighed.
After all, Wang Tao still lacks a lot of management experience.
It is certain that I feel uneasy when I suddenly step into the high position of Hongmeng Nanyang Company.
However, even so, he still does not plan to recruit senior executives from outside.
Compared with outside monks, he is more willing to believe and to cultivate his own people who will grow with the company, deeply understand the company culture, and have higher loyalty.
——
The next day, Masahiro Inoue arrived at the headquarters of Hongmeng Japan Company around ten o'clock in the morning.
Just as he was about to enter, Hideo Fukunaga personally escorted a short and thin man in a black suit out.
This person is very familiar to him. He is Tetsuya Uchida, the president of Goo, the second largest portal in Japan.
When Inoue Masahiro noticed the other party, Uchida Tetsuya also saw him.
"Inoue-san?"
"Uchida-san is here to discuss cooperation with Hongmeng?"
Tetsuya Uchida nodded, "President Fukunaga is a very good person, and I look forward to our cooperation."
" President Uchida gives the award, this is a proposal that benefits both sides," Hideo Fukunaga said with a smile.
"I will go back as soon as possible to apply for the board of directors' approval. I believe there will be good news soon."
"I am waiting for President Uchida's call."
"Farewell."
"Goodbye."
After nodding to Masahiro Inoue, Tetsuya Uchida hurriedly left with his secretary.
"President Fukunaga, we at Yahoo! Japan are talking to you, Hongmeng, about the acquisition of the Excite portal. Isn't it too unethical for you to reach an agreement with Goo privately without us clearly giving up?" Masahiro Inoue said seriously.
"President Inoue misunderstood. What we were talking about with President Uchida was about Bing Search becoming a GOO search service provider, not the acquisition of the Excite portal." Hideo Fukunaga said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Of course. If President Inoue doesn't believe it, you can do an investigation. I believe that President Inoue's connections can easily find out the truth of the matter."
< br>Inoue Masahiro looked at him deeply.
The latter looked the same, without any trace of panic.
“I want to see you, President Xu.”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Inoue. President Xu is ill and cannot attend today's negotiations."
"Is he ill?"
Inoue Masahiro frowned.
I don’t quite believe it.
“Perhaps you should know the news about a girl who jumped off the Tsukishima Bridge and was rescued yesterday evening. Our president was the one who went into the water to save the person. He saved the person in the water with only a few degrees of water. Coming out, a cold and fever are inevitable.”
Inoue Masahiro's face showed surprise.
It's hard to lie about this kind of thing.
"Mr. Xu is a good man with noble moral character and admiration."
"What is even more rare is that our president is not greedy for fame. He did not take advantage of this opportunity to develop Hongmeng. Otherwise, It is absolutely possible for Hongmeng to be exposed to all Japanese people, which will greatly enhance our popularity and gain the favor of all Japanese people." Fukunaga Hideo admired but also felt a little regretful.
Inoue Masahiro rolled his eyes.
As the president of Yahoo Japan, he realized the journalistic nature of it.
However, looking at Hideo Fukunaga with a smile on his face in front of him, he was also keenly aware of the other person's little thoughts.
Xu Liang didn’t want to expose himself, but he ended up talking about it in front of himself, the president of Yahoo?
Obviously he knew that he would not let go of the news once he knew it, and planned to build a plank road to hide Chen Cang secretly.
I understand, I understand, Inoue Masahiro didn't point it out either.
He was indeed interested in the news.
"Mr. Xu is not greedy for fame and is admirable. But since Mr. Xu cannot participate in today's negotiation, I will come to visit another day."
Fukunaga Hideo nodded. , his expression quickly became serious.
"President Inoue, the patience of our president is limited. If Yahoo! Japan and Mr. Sun cannot show sincerity, then we will cooperate with GOO and Nifty. This is our official notification to you, It’s also the last time.”
Inoue Masahiro pondered for a moment.
"Please tell Mr. Xu that Mr. Sun Zhengyi respects his decision and no longer seeks to invest in Hongmeng now, but to obtain the right to lead Hongmeng's A round in the future. In addition, we hope that the funds for the acquisition of the Excite portal can be converted into Yahoo! shares.”
That’s a big concession.
"In addition, SoftBank has invested in many Chinese companies. If Mr. Xu is interested, Mr. Sun can also exchange them."
Hideo Fukunaga nodded.
"I will tell the president."
"Please convey it as soon as possible."
Hideo Fukunaga bowed slightly, "Don't worry, I will inform you as soon as I have news."
"Farewell."
"Goodbye . "
Sent Inoue Masahiro out and watched him get in the car and drive away.
