Saitoi hung up the phone with Chen Xing. He did not immediately respond, but closed his eyes and thought about the seriousness of the matter.
In the phone call just now, Chen Xing’s statement was very straightforward, focusing on the attitude of destroying it if you don’t get it.
Can the Toyota Group be destroyed?
Not for a short time.
Because once the Toyota Group goes bankrupt, it will not be a problem for the 300,000 employees, but the entire related interest chain.
For example, if you are the person in charge of a certain vegetable market and the market needs to be closed for three months due to force majeure, how many groups will be affected in these three months?
1. Merchants in the market.
With the closure of the wet market, merchants who settle in may be able to reduce their rent for three months, but it is impossible for them to say that they will not do business for three months. If they choose to settle in other wet markets, they will need to pay an expensive fee for stalls. fee.
2. Consumer.
As we all know, wet markets are generally close to residential areas. If a wet market is closed, it will definitely have an impact on nearby residents buying food and cooking. They may spend more time, or need to drive or use shared bicycles to go there. Buy groceries.
3. Wholesaler.
Whether it is chicken, duck, fish or meat, it all needs to go through the hands of wholesalers. It does not mean that the wet market merchants go to the breeding base to buy it themselves.
The breeding base goes to the agricultural wholesalers, the agricultural wholesalers go to the distributors, the distributors go to the merchants in each market, and finally the merchants in each market sell it to consumers, which forms a complete production and sales chain.
Suppose a large wet market is temporarily closed, the interests of the corresponding merchants, distributors, wholesalers, and even the breeding base will be affected.
Because the wet market close to home is closed, many families find it too far and too troublesome, so they simply eat out or make do with a few meals, and consumption subsequently drops.
It can be seen that the closure of a wet market can affect so many groups. If the trillion-dollar Toyota Group goes bankrupt, how many people will be affected?
Three hundred thousand people?
Half a million people?
One million people?
It can only be said that it is far more than that!
Controlling the jobs of millions of people in island countries is Chen Xing's bargaining chip.
No matter which country it is, it will pay special attention to the growth trend of the unemployed population.
In a country where the unemployed population is growing rapidly, the corresponding instability will also increase, and there is a risk of social unrest.
For example, in Germany after the end of the S1 season, the unemployed population increased rapidly, and the gap between the rich and the poor also reached its peak level.
The rich not only have bread and milk, but also a variety of meat and fruits.
As for the unemployed people at the bottom, they not only have to face inflation, but also face severe challenges to survive.
In the end, the price of 500,000 bread ignited the emotions of the people at the bottom, allowing social wealth to be evenly distributed once again.
Don’t look at modern times, but look at ancient times. Looking at the countless peasant uprisings in the ancient Dragon Kingdom, they all started out to fill their stomachs, and then they chose to risk their lives.
......
Saitoi thought for a full ten minutes. The chain of interests involved in the Toyota Group was too huge, and Chen Xing did have the bargaining chip to talk to the island country's senior officials.
Thinking of this, he did not dare to neglect and immediately dialed the phone number of Cabinet Speaker Hideki Ueoka and briefly explained the situation.
“What!”
Hideki Ueoka was shocked.
He did not expect that Chen Xing would be so brilliant that he would destroy a trillion-dollar group that was related to the livelihood of millions of families.
Chen Xing's determination was beyond his imagination.
Originally, he and Miguo wanted to start a tug-of-war, thinking that Chen Xing would not do anything to the Toyota Group. After all, they had tried every means and effort to get it, and it was impossible to destroy it directly.
But now?
If you can’t control it, it will be destroyed directly.
He calculated that Longxing Group spent at least 300 billion Longguo currency to collect stocks. If it did not make a profit and destroyed it directly, it is conservatively estimated that the direct loss would be hundreds of billions of yuan.
"What should we do? Chen Xing's tone doesn't sound like a joke."
Saitoi asked quickly.
Hideki Ueoka's eyes flashed with admiration, and he murmured to himself: "In ancient times, Cao Cao used the emperor to control the princes, and now Chen Xing uses Toyota Group to make us express our stance. It is really clever."
The culture of the Three Kingdoms has spread widely around the world, especially the island countries, which have developed countless films and games based on the Three Kingdoms theme.
Even if he killed Hideki Ueoka, he never expected that history would repeat itself.
Chen Xing actually thought of using the unemployment problem to force them to make a choice.
Can the island nation give up Toyota Group?
No!
This is not only about employment issues, but also economic issues.
If Toyota Group goes bankrupt, the business card of Japanese cars will be shredded, which will affect the entire island country's automobile industry.
Imagine that the leading players in an industry have declared bankruptcy. Will you still remain optimistic about this industry?
Under the dual pressure of unemployment and economy, Hideki Ueoka also fell into deep thought.
At this time, Saitoi spoke again: "Chen Xing also said that as long as they can successfully take over the Toyota Group, he will support the transformation and provide lithium battery-related technologies."
"This A stick and a sweet date?" Ueoka Hideki smiled helplessly.
“Absolutely.”
Saitoi was equally helpless.
Now all favorable conditions point to cooperation with Longxing Group. Only by cooperation with Longxing Group can we get out of the predicament.
But the question is, can the United States agree?
Saitoi and Ueoka Hideki both coincided with thinking about this issue.
You must know that the United States has troops stationed in Japan and South Korea. If it cooperates with the Longxing Group, nothing will happen.
“It’s a big deal, it’s a big deal, I have to ask for instructions.”
Hideki Ueoka said solemnly.
He thought that his authority was already very high, but at present, his authority could not decide this matter at all.
Hearing this, Saitoi asked again: "Then I'll call Chen Xing back now?"
"If you ask him to wait for a day, we might have to hold a multi-department discussion meeting. The result may not come out so soon.”
“Then Nishikawa Kida...”
"Tell him not to act rashly. If Longxing Group comes to take over, let them take over. Everything will wait until the results of the final meeting are announced."
"Then I'll call him."
"Go ahead. . ”
After hanging up the phone, Saitoi immediately called Nishikawa Takada, hoping to ask him to calm down and not affect the overall situation.
……
And on the other side.
Toyota Group Headquarters Base.
What Saitoi didn't know was that Takahiro Nishikawa hesitated for a long time and was about to compromise and call him to discuss. Unexpectedly, Saitoi called him first.
Nishikawa Takada felt guilty, thinking that Saitoi had other instructions.
Yao Nana and others came to take over the Toyota Group. It is impossible for the top officials of the island country not to know.
"Excuse me."
Nishikawa Takada stood up, bowed slightly to apologize, and walked quickly to the door of the conference room.
As soon as he opened the door of the conference room, three strong men, Yan Hai, Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang, locked eyes with him instantly. Immediately, Nishikawa Guida felt a sense of suffocation, so he decided to leave.
The other board members did not leave, they were all waiting for answers.
"President Nishikawa, how did the talks go?"
"Are we really fired?"
"Is it really irreversible?"
Faced with everyone's inquiries, Nishikawa Takada waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go back first Well, I will inform you if there is any new situation."
He did not answer directly, but everyone knew his attitude.
Compared with not giving in at the beginning, now he seems to have been manipulated and only needs the final kick.
Nishikawa Takahiro's reaction and attitude immediately made some people furious.
“You want to betray the Toyota Group???”
“How much money has the Longxing Group given you? You want to betray the Toyota Group and our Empire of Japan. You deserve to die!”
“Baga Ya Road!!!”
“Xichuan Guida, you will have your retribution!”
The crowd became restless. Yan Hai looked at Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang and began to drive away the original board members.
In the corridor, as they took a step forward, the board members took a step back.
Faced with absolute power suppression, no one wants to stand out.
Besides, they are not young guys. By the time they reach their thirties or forties, their body functions and healing abilities will decline.
If you are a teenager, even if you are severely beaten, the wounds and injuries will gradually heal over time, and you will not even need to go to the hospital for treatment.
"Everyone go in."
Yan Hai opened the elevator and let these board members in.
These people also understood that they no longer had any say, and it was useless to stay here any longer. In order not to be beaten, they could only walk into the elevator obediently and be sent to the first floor.
After dealing with the former board members, Yan Hai couldn't help but joke: "No wonder the islanders are called Japanese, they are really short."
"I feel it."
"Is the air in the island country too humid?"
Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang answered.
They have come into contact with soldiers from the northern military region. They are generally taller than soldiers from the south. According to Yan Hai’s squad leaders, the south has heavy humidity, which affects appetite and insufficient nutritional intake. The north is dry and the food intake is poor. They are relatively large, eat a variety of foods, and have balanced nutrition. Naturally, there are regional height differences.
However, with the full normalization of meat, eggs and milk, the nutritional intake of young people in both the north and the south has reached a balance. They no longer need to rely on eating a lot of food to obtain nutrients for long bodies. In recent years, the height of young people in the south has also increased. Making rapid progress.
The island country is obviously a developed country, and meat, eggs, and milk have long been normalized in families, but the height of its people has gradually decreased, which has become an unsolved mystery in the world.
"Maybe, who knows." Yan Hai smiled, and then warned: "You guys stay here, I will go back to the door of the conference room."
"Okay, you go."
"Roger that."
The three of them split up.
……
Nishikawa Takahiro walked into the cubicle next to the conference room, closed the door and pressed the answer button on his mobile phone.
“President Saito.”
He said hello.
"Did Longxing Group send people to your side?" Saitoi got straight to the point. "Yes, I just arrived not long ago." Nishikawa Takada just finished speaking, and then asked: "Are there any new instructions from above?"
"Longxing Group's forced acquisition of Toyota Group involves a big chain of interests, so you just have to stand still for now. You will pay what you should pay, and you won't pay what you shouldn't. Do you understand?"
Qi Fujii gave a hint.
It is said to be a hint, but in fact it is equivalent to an explicit statement, because his previous attitude was to use all available means to make the takeover team of Longxing Group return without success.
But now?
I pay you what you need to pay, don't pay what you shouldn't, and let it go obviously.
"Did something happen?"
Nishikawa Takada is not stupid, so he can naturally hear the changes in his attitude before and after.
For him, who has been involved in business for so many years, being able to listen to subtext is already a basic skill and is not worth mentioning.
Not only in business, official career, or upper-level circles, people tend to speak euphemistically, and there are hints in their words. If your brain cannot react, you may fall into a trap.
"There must be something, but it involves too much, so just do as I say first, and I will notify you immediately if there is any follow-up."
Saitoi chose to keep it secret.
Chen Xing used the unemployment of millions of people as a bargaining chip to force them to peacefully hand over the Toyota Group. If this matter was revealed, he was afraid of scaring Saikawa Takahiro, and was also afraid that the latter would ventilate Wall Street in the United States.
To ensure that the matter would not be affected, he decided to hide it temporarily.
However, what he didn't know was that Yao Nana also mentioned the "Dismemberment Plan".
Nishikawa Takashi's brain was spinning very fast. He vaguely guessed something, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he nodded and responded: "Okay, I'll hand over the official seal and account book first. As for the veto power, I Use it as conservatively as possible."
"Well, you act according to your circumstances."
Saitoi nodded.
The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Saitoi put down his cell phone and called Chen Xing back, saying that he would need a day to hold a meeting to discuss the final decision.
Chen Xing felt happy when he heard the answer. You must know that in the adult world, if something is not explicitly rejected, it means there is room for negotiation.
For example, if you pick up a conversation on the street, if the other party is unwilling to join in, no matter how hard you pester, even if you join in the end, you will only get a red exclamation mark when you get home.
But if you add it naturally and the other person responds to your message, even if the other person clearly states that he does not want to talk about boyfriend and girlfriend, there is still room for further imagination.
Saitoi did not explicitly refuse, and his superiors also did not explicitly refuse. Instead, they decided to hold a meeting to discuss. No matter what the outcome was, there was already a group of high-level officials from the island countries supporting the Longxing Group to take over the Toyota Group to stabilize the current situation.
Although he was happy in his heart, Chen Xing did not show it, but responded calmly: "Then I will wait for the good news from President Saito."
"You're welcome."
The two exchanged a few polite words and hung up the phone without continuing their chat.
Saitoi looked at Chen Xing's number and silently saved it in his address book.
The same was true for Chen Xing. After saving the number, he placed his mobile phone beside his desk, then held the mouse and opened the computer's encrypted mailbox.
This time we were able to forcibly acquire the Toyota Group, strike first and then act, and gain the initiative in negotiations, and the help of the Miyazaki family was indispensable.
Chen Xing is not an ungrateful person who only tries to make cakes for others.
The Miyazaki family made a desperate move and came for profit.
After learning that the island country’s top officials might relent and that Longxing Group’s lithium battery automobile technology would have the opportunity to enter the island country’s market, he immediately shared this important information with Miyazaki Sumie through an encrypted email.
For top companies, it is better to give important news than real money, because news is equal to real money.
As long as you master the information gap, the money will come into your wallet by itself.
Just like the stock market, if you knew a company's future performance in advance, would you still think the news was worthless?
However, the returns from pure stock trading are too low for a business.
Even Buffett, the stock god, is running an investment company himself.
……
The island nation of Tokyo.
The Miyazaki family’s luxurious estate.
Miyazaki Sumie has also been waiting for news. When she saw a new email popping up in her mailbox, she immediately clicked on it.
“Both Saitoi and his superiors have wavered, and Toyota Group will likely shift towards electric vehicles.”
She read the content of the email silently in her mind.
Although the email is short, the amount of information given is explosive.
The attitude of Saitoi and the senior officials of the island country has changed, which shows that the island country may backstab the United States, just like the last time the yen raised interest rates.
Toyota Group is likely to shift towards electric vehicles, indicating that the island country’s traditional automobile industry will undergo a major reshuffle.
It is no exaggeration to say that if everything Chen Xing said is true, the value of this email is no less than one trillion!
Plan ahead and be one step ahead. How do you catch up with your opponents?
Miyazaki Sumie immediately called Miyazaki Yu and asked him to come to her room.
A moment later.
Miyazaki Yu walked in.
"How's it going?"
"Chen Xing didn't know what method he used to make Saitoi and his superiors waver. Chen Xing also said that Toyota Group might Transformation towards electric vehicles”
Miyazaki Sumie said the content of the email.
"Great." Miyazaki Yu looked excited and looked at Miyazaki June and said: "If it is true as Chen Xing said, the wealth of the entire automobile manufacturing industry will be redistributed."< br>
"But, can new energy vehicles really come in?" Miyazaki Sumie expressed concern.
You must know that the automobile manufacturing industry has always been the economic pillar of the island country. It is precisely through the export of automobiles and the export trade of industrial products that the barren island country can become a developed country.
If it were not for its strong industrial base, it would be impossible for an island country with poor land resources to feed hundreds of millions of people.
New energy vehicles impact traditional automobiles, and the technical reserves of Japanese car companies are all in the traditional automobile manufacturing field.
"Electric vehicles are a global trend. Compared with traditional cars, they are more intelligent and environmentally friendly. We don't bet 10,000, but just in case." Miyazaki Miyazaki is already planning to go big.
Although it is impossible for him to enter the manufacturing industry directly, and the Miyazaki family does not have the foundation, they still have a say in the field of communications.
Since it is a smart car, the Miyazaki family can focus on this aspect, eat as much share as possible, and then think about other things.
In fact, Miyazaki also thought of an extremely important reason, that is, the island country's oil reserves are too small, or the proven amount of oil fields is too small.
All the local oil fields in the island country combined are not as large as the single reserves of the Daqing Oilfield in the Dragon Kingdom. For strategic needs, the island country can only build strategic oil reserve bases overseas to ensure that there will not be an instant oil shortage.
If electric vehicles are promoted, oil demand will drop instantly.
Compared with oil, the problem of electricity is quite easy to solve.
Building nuclear power plants, wind power, and solar power are all solutions.
"Then what should we do next?"
Miyazaki Sumie asked.
“Don’t worry, let the bullets fly for a while, we have this cooperative relationship with Chen Xing, and the share will never be small.”
Miyazaki's ambition already has a plan in mind, and he can clearly feel that the Miyazaki family's revival plan is about to be realized.
……
The other side.
Toyota Group Headquarters Base.
After Nishikawa Guida hung up the phone, he returned to the conference room.
He glanced at Yao Nana and Lan Junyi and said in a deep voice: "This matter needs further discussion. I can hand over the official seal and account books of the group first. I hope you can give me more time."
Yao Nana and Lan Junyi Looking at each other, they found that taking over the Toyota Group was much simpler than they thought. At least Saikawa Takahiro relented and did not stalk them.
However, what they didn’t know was that behind the ease, it was Chen Xing who was carrying a heavy load.
"No problem, how long will it take to reply?"
Yao Nana asked.
"Within seven days." Nishikawa Takadai didn't know when Saitoi would reply, so he said a relatively loose time.
“It’s too long.”
Lan Junyi frowned slightly and cut him in half: “Three days, we will give you three days. The future of Toyota Group depends on the three days. Your statement, Queen.”
“Yes, only three days.” Yao Nana couldn’t wait any longer and quickly agreed.
Nishikawa Kida hesitated for a while, but finally agreed: "Three days is all. Those of you, please follow me to the top floor."
"Well, let's go."
"Let's go."
A few people moved their steps and followed Nishikawa Guida in the elevator to the chairman's office on the top floor.
Nishikawa Guida came to the safe. As an active soldier, Yan Hai immediately smelled danger.
The instructor of their unit once said that the safe is the most dangerous thing.
There may be bombs, grenades, firearms and sharp weapons inside. You need to be very alert when dealing with a safe.
Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang were also alert, and whispered: "You guys go a little further, and if something happens, get down immediately to avoid it."
Yao Nana and Lan Junyi both became nervous, especially Yao Nana, don't Talking about Nishikawa Takada's safe, even Chen Xing's safe, she has seen firearms.
Although she didn’t know how it came about or whether it was legal, she chose to keep it a secret for Chen Xing.
Nishikawa Takahiro has not noticed the change in the atmosphere in the office. As usual, he first unlocked the first layer of the lock with his fingerprint, and then entered the password of the safe.
"Click——"
The safe bounced open slightly.
Just when Nishikawa Takahiro was about to open it, Yan Hai grabbed his wrist and said: "Let me do it."
Nishikawa Takahiro was stunned for a moment, and the two looked at each other. , then he looked at the alert people and understood what was going on.
"Then open it."
He also gave up his position.
Yan Hai didn't let him go. If there was a bomb in the safe or something, he could take someone with him and go with him.
Fortunately, there was no bomb inside, but there was a pistol pressed against the document, and the official seal was placed in the compartment.
Seeing this, Nishikawa Takahiro explained: "Island countries can legally hold guns, and this gun is not loaded, so don't worry."
Yan Hai did not listen to him; I took out the pistol, and as soon as I started using it, the weight was wrong. Nishikawa Takahiro really wasn't lying, the bullets were indeed not loaded.
For safety reasons, he carefully checked the safe again to make sure there was no problem before giving Yao Nana, Lan Junyi and others a "safe" look.
Although it was just a small episode, it also made Yao Nana and Lan Junyi feel scared, and it also served as a reminder for them in the future.
When abroad, you must always understand that everyone may be carrying a firearm, and if you are not careful, your life may be in danger.
