After getting the official seal and account book, Yao Nana and Lan Junyi breathed a sigh of relief. These two things meant that they were gradually taking over the Toyota Group and absorbing it for their own use.
The moment they finished their official duties and relaxed their nerves, hunger and sleepiness swept through their bodies instantly.
Although they were traveling in first class, it would be false to say they were not exhausted after a three- to four-hour flight, as well as getting off the plane and rushing to the Toyota Group for negotiations without stopping.
“Going to eat?”
Mo Yuancheng is not only a lawyer, but also provides local escort services.
Why is the service attitude so good?
In the final analysis, there are only seven words...
Chen Xing gave too much!
“Let’s go.”
Lan Junyi nodded.
Yao Nana looked at Xichuan Guida and extended an invitation: "Chairman Xichuan, do you want to have a meal together?"
"No, next time."
Xichuan Guida did not Choosing to have dinner together, his top priority now is to appease the original board members.
"Then don't force it." Yao Nana gave the others a look, and everyone left the office, took the elevator back to the first floor, and then drove to the nearest star hotel.
On the way to the star hotel, Yan Hai, Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang looked through the scenery outside the window and saw what high-rise buildings are, the financial center of Asia.
Tokyo's ability to replace Hong Kong Island as Asia's new financial center is absolutely deserved, not only because of Western economic support, but also because the city is developing so well.
As night falls, the lights of high-rise buildings are dotted in the night sky like stars. Neon lights flash, intertwining into a colorful picture. Every night scene you can imagine can be seen on the streets of Tokyo.
......
As the night grew darker, the area around the official residence in Nagata Town gradually became quiet, with only the occasional passing vehicle breaking the tranquility.
At this time, in the conference room of the official residence, all the top leaders of important institutions such as finance, banking, and cabinet were present. They were dressed in neat suits, with serious and focused faces.
Since we are soliciting opinions from various departments, many of which are at the same level, a roundtable conference room is used.
"What is Saitoi doing?"
Hideki Ueoka checked the time, and now the only person missing from the FSA Financial Services Agency was not here.
However, what he didn’t know was that Saitoi had been demoted three levels in a row. He thought he was not qualified to participate in this meeting. When someone specifically informed him, he realized what he was doing and hurried to the island country. Rush to the official residence.
Not long after Hideki Ueoka finished complaining in his mind, the wooden door of the conference room was opened, and Saitoi panted slightly: "Private Marseille, there is a traffic jam on the road, I am late, Private Marseille."
He made an excuse for himself, trying to excuse his tardiness.
Before anyone else could speak, Hideki Ueoka immediately stepped up to him and said, "Why are you still standing there? I'm waiting for you."
With a seemingly fierce tone, In fact, he urged him to take a seat quickly and not to continue the topic of being late.
Others also heard it. Hideki Ueoka was telling everyone present not to talk about being late.
To put it bluntly.
Hideki Ueoka was protecting Sai Fujii.
Some people who wanted to use the topic to fight against Saitoi also stopped thinking. They did not want to offend Hideki Ueoka.
“Hey, Private Marseille.”
Saitoi quickly approached and took a seat.
As soon as he sat down, someone looked at Hideki Ueoka and said, "Speaker, what are you going to talk about? You actually held such a large-scale, high-level internal meeting overnight."
While this man was speaking, he glanced around. They were basically the top executives of the island country, but they were all in the economic department.
The speaker was none other than Mitsunari Ishida, the head of the island country’s Ministry of Finance.
“I’m curious too.”
Koji Nomura of the Social Security Bureau quickly agreed.
This internal joint meeting did not go through the regular process, but was contacted by Hideki Ueoka on a personal phone.
Summoning so many senior officials on a private phone call must be something very urgent.
"Have you all heard about the forced acquisition of Toyota Group by Longxing Group?" Hideki Ueoka asked rhetorically.
"Is it for this matter?"
"The financial department cannot control corporate acquisitions. I am afraid that Speaker Hideki Ueoka has contacted the wrong department. We have to contact the industrial and commercial department."< br>
“That’s right.”
Some people can't wait to speak, while others can't wait to echo.
In such a large system, it is impossible not to have friends and opponents, and Hideki Ueoka cannot avoid it either. He calmly glanced at the faces of several people, then looked back and said: "This is not just as simple as a corporate acquisition, but It’s about people’s livelihood.”
“The leader of Longxing Group, Chen Xing, has made it clear to us that if the takeover of Toyota Group cannot be successful, extreme measures will be taken to bankrupt Toyota Group.”
"Currently, the Toyota Group has close to 300,000 employees, and the number of workers in the related interest industry chain is conservatively one million..."
The moment Hideki Ueoka gradually raised the question, everyone present put it away. He lost his contempt and became extremely serious.
One million unemployed people, this is no joke!
Behind these one million unemployed people, there may be one million families. Counting a family of three, it may affect three to four million people. No wonder Hideki Ueoka was in a hurry and used his personal phone. Call everyone to a meeting.
After listening to the briefing, Nomura Koji of the Social Security Department turned pale and quickly expressed his position: "This matter must be properly resolved."
"It does need to be studied."
"I didn't expect Chen Xing to be so ruthless. He would destroy it if he couldn't get it."
"He's always been like this!"
Some people kept expressing their opinions.
Hideki Ueoka kept observing the changes in the attitudes and expressions of everyone in the conference room. He knew very well that some high-level officials were supported by the United States.
Although Finance Minister Ishida Mitsunari and several people next to him also looked surprised, they did not feel anxious or panicked, as if the sharp increase in the unemployed population was not their concern.
"In a deflationary economic environment, millions more unemployed people will be added. Speaker Hideki Ueoka, what do you think we should do?" Saitoi set the stage.
"Yes, what should we do?"
"It is impossible to let the unemployment rate soar. Toyota Group must maintain it."
"That's right."
There was a lot of discussion among senior officials.
Hideki Ueoka did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Ishida Mitsunari and said: "I see that Minister Ishida has been deep in thought for a long time. Maybe he has thought of a coup. I want to hear his opinion first."
Seeing the ball thrown towards him, with the intention of hitting him, Ishida Mitsunari smiled calmly and said: "Maybe I am stupid, I didn't think of any solution, and I would like to ask the speaker to make it clear."
"Anyone else has any solution? "?" Ueoka Hideki glanced at the people in the conference room and changed the specificity to the generality.
If you just ask Ishida Mitsunari, it is easy to think that Hideki Ueoka is targeting Ishida Mitsunari. The last sentence is to make up for it and broaden the target of the question.
Others naturally know that Hideki Ueoka and Mitsunari Ishida are secretly competing, but they will not get involved.
Everyone looked at each other, did not answer, and remained silent.
Sometimes, silence is the best answer. Breaking the casserole and asking the truth is the real low EQ.
Seeing that no one answered, Hideki Ueoka looked at Nomura Koji and asked: "One million people may be unemployed in the future. Can you, Director Nomura Koji, accommodate them?"
"Pressure It’s a bit big.”
Nomura Koji responded with cold sweat on his face.
Not to mention one million unemployed people, even half a million cannot handle it.
You know, the automobile manufacturing industry has always been the bottom industry of the island country.
What is a guaranteed industry?
To put it bluntly, people who cannot make it in various industries will choose to enter the automobile manufacturing industry to make a living out of necessity.
Because Japanese cars have good quality control and are fuel-efficient, they have no worries about sales worldwide.
With great demand for automobiles, there will naturally be more jobs and a corresponding increase in workers.
If entrepreneurs from the dragon country think about "the big deal is to go home and farm", then entrepreneurs from the island country think about "the big deal is to enter a car production factory".
This is the last resort and the guarantee for entrepreneurs and workers.
But as Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company set off a craze for new energy vehicles, car companies around the world have ushered in a reshuffle, and some have even begun to reorganize.
The impact this time is on the island country’s guaranteed industrial jobs. Even if 300,000 people are unemployed, it will make society unstable.
“Since the resettlement of the unemployed cannot be guaranteed, I would boldly make a suggestion, which is to reach cooperation with Longxing Group.”
After a long period of preparation, Hideki Ueoka finally said what he was thinking.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, except for Saitoi and Hideki Ueoka, the other top leaders of the island nation seemed a little uneasy.
“Cooperate with Longguo Enterprises?”
“Are you crazy? Longxing Group just made a hostile takeover of Toyota Group, and now it wants to cooperate with them!”
"What's the difference between this and recognizing a thief as your father?"
"What a terrible proposal."
Almost no one agreed, and everyone resisted.
Longxing Group’s hostile takeover of Toyota Group was something they were disgusted with in the first place. Now they actually want to cooperate with Longxing Group. Isn’t this a proper recognition of the thief as the father?
In other words, isn’t this the plot of the island country’s classic cuckold movie?
"I think we can cooperate." Saitoi broke the deadlock and glanced at everyone: "In the past, Longguo used our car companies to improve their car-making technology. Why can't we use Longxing Group to first Stable employment, and then slowly look for opportunities to be evicted.”
Saitoi's words made many people calm down and start thinking about the feasibility and related interest chains.
“I think it makes sense. Stabilize employment first, put other things aside, and wait for the economy to pick up before making other changes.”
“That’s right.” “It does work. .”
Many people began to agree.
In their view, Longguo's car companies can be where they are today without the help of island country's car companies.
Not to mention the distant past, just five years ago, Longguo Automobile was not on the market and was called "industrial waste" by the West.
Not only do outsiders not recognize it, but domestic people also do not recognize domestically produced cars.
There was once a popular saying in the car circle, that is:
“I bought a Japanese car for 200,000 yuan and drove it for five years. Not only did it not have any major repairs, but it can still recover when I put it in the second-hand market. Nearly a hundred thousand, but you spent 150,000 to buy a domestic car with the same configuration. Not only will it require major repairs and abnormal noises in five years, but the second-hand car dealers will not accept it.”
Although it is exaggerated and ridiculing, it also shows how bad domestically produced cars were in the past.
This is also the reason why joint venture car companies can make a lot of money in Longguo.
In the past, Longguo was able to improve itself with the help of the island country’s automobile manufacturing technology. Why can’t the island country use the Longxing Group to protect employment now?
The atmosphere in the conference room was subtle, and some people had already made decisions silently.
But at this moment, Ishida Mitsunari spoke, and he looked at Saito Imichi: "If Longxing Group is allowed to successfully take over Toyota Group, do you know what will happen?"
"They will use the Toyota Group's own industrial system and patented technology to completely solve the problem of production equipment, and the Toyota Group has its own high-precision machine tools. Once Longguo obtains the technology related to high-precision machine tools, it will not be a problem of unemployment. It’s about whether they will start the S3 season.”
This sentence was like a bucket of ice water, waking up many people present. They suddenly felt scared and began to move closer to Ishida Mitsunari.
"It makes sense, but it is absolutely impossible to give it!"
"If the Dragon Kingdom achieves a great rejuvenation, then we will suffer!"
"In comparison, I think it is best to resettle the unemployed, as the risks are lowest and uncontrollable factors can be avoided.”
"I agree."
"Me too."
The change in the direction of the wind corresponds to the fear deep in their pupils.
You must know that the reason why the Dragon Kingdom is deliberately targeted is because of its huge potential and the strength to protect the three and compete for one.
It can counterattack several times when it is stuck in any field. Once it is let go, no one knows where its upper limit is.
Napoleon also once said: The Dragon Kingdom is a sleeping lion. Once it wakes up, the whole world will tremble.
Because of fear, the whole world is trying every means to prevent the great Eastern countries from waking up from their "sleep".
Ueoka Hideki and Saitoi looked at each other and felt that things were a little tricky.
After pondering for a few seconds, Hideki Ueoka looked at Ishida Mitsunari and said: "Then according to Minister Ishida Mitsunari's intention, you will be responsible for solving the unemployment problem?"
" …”
A big hat was pulled down, causing Ishida Mitsunari to panic immediately.
However, he quickly adjusted and responded: "I dare not say that it has been completely solved, but I will go back and hold a special meeting to study the acute issue of unemployment subsidies. I believe that we will cooperate with other departments, such as social security and banks. , can solve a large part of it.”
He is not stupid. He did not take all the problems on himself, but dragged other relevant departments to follow up on the problem.
Even if something happens in the future, there will still be people who will advance and retreat with him.
“Ah…”
"This... we try our best."
The leader of the department who was dragged into the water was stunned and could only bite the bullet.
They also feel that what Ishida Mitsunari said makes sense. Once the Dragon Kingdom becomes complete, they may be liquidated.
Why do you think the modern history book of the Dragon Kingdom is divided into two volumes?
To put it mildly, it is a history book.
To put it bluntly, it is a ledger.
Why have Western countries continued to hand back historical cultural relics in recent years?
Did their conscience discover it?
No, no, no!
It is the strength of strength.
Only by having a harder fist can you gain the right to speak internationally, and others will admire you, fear you, and eventually surrender to you.
“Now that we have the result, let’s end tonight’s meeting here.”
Hideki Ueoka is the one who organizes the game, so naturally he has to initiate the breakup.
He has no interests tied to Chen Xing. Now that someone is taking charge, there is absolutely no need for him to act as a lobbyist for the Longxing Group.
Besides, he is also afraid of the revival of the Dragon Kingdom.
Saitoi stood up and expressed his attitude. He and Chen Xing also had no binding interests, but now he was a little pity. The huge Toyota Group might be thrown into chaos, and they might even need to provide assistance to make the situation worse. It can't go out of business so quickly.
……
After the internal meeting, the top leaders of the island country left in an orderly manner.
Are they going back to sleep?
No!
There are also small group meetings taking place.
In the private attic, Hideki Ueoka looked at Saito Idou: "It can be delayed for a while, and I will tell Chen Xing the result after I am stuck in time."
"It's a pity, it's a pity. , the huge Toyota Group may be broken up into countless parts, and millions of people may lose their jobs.”
Saitoi sighed.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Someone is responsible. We can only see how they deal with it.”
"Yeah, there's no other way."
"Chen Xing did an incredible job. Sure enough, he will become famous and his bones will wither. The corpses of global companies are probably scattered under his feet."
"Gaotong The company has been wiped out, do you really think he is a good person?"
Five or six people in the attic were whispering. While they expressed concern, they were also secretly happy. No matter what the future of Toyota Group is like, Someone has already stepped forward to take the blame.
On the other side, Ishida Mitsunari was also holding a small group meeting.
"If it is true as Hideki Ueoka said, how should we deal with the unemployment wave?" Nomura Koji couldn't help but ask.
He is in charge of this. If there are too many unemployed people, he is the first person responsible, and he may be criticized.
"I will study how to release the water when I get back, but I don't believe that the Toyota Group that Chen Xing spent so much hard work to build will be destroyed so easily." Ishida Mitsunari responded calmly.
The main reason why he dared to take responsibility was that he felt that Chen Xing was threatening him and would not really do it.
You must know that even if the Toyota Group has to "skin down", it can still provide tens of billions of net profits every year. This is money in vain. He does not believe that Chen Xing will give up.
To put it another step back, Chen Xing spent hundreds of billions to complete the hostile takeover, and now it is completely bankrupt. Wouldn’t that mean a loss of tens of billions? What would a capitalist do like this?
In Ishida Mitsunari’s stereotype, a profit-seeking, money-oriented capitalist would never do this.
After hearing Ishida Mitsunari's answer, Nomura Koji breathed a sigh of relief, raised his thumb and praised: "It must be Minister Ishida, he is so wise!"
"He is indeed more far-sighted than us!"< br>
“Yes, yes, you have Chen Xing’s psychology under control!”
"Minister Ishida is indeed a role model for me to learn from. I will have to learn more in the future and analyze things from multiple dimensions."
One person's words of praise have already made Ishida Mitsunari feel happy.
Although you know that others are flattering you and trying to please you, you just can't refuse, because liking to hear good things is engraved in human DNA.
……
And on the other side.
Dragon Kingdom Deep City.
Longxing Group Bantian Base.
Chen Xing glanced at the time. It was already three o'clock in the morning. When converted to Tokyo time, it was four o'clock in the morning.
"It seems that I won't be able to give you the answer I want tonight."
While muttering to himself, he looked at the mailbox again, and there were more than forty messages. Pending emails are all emails seeking cooperation.
At present, Longxing Group has become a benchmark in the field of science and technology and has mastered a large amount of resources. Countless companies around the world want to enter the supply chain of Longxing Group.
Because it was too late, Chen Xing, who knew that the body is the capital of revolution, did not continue working.
He walked to the rest room of the office and opened the shower door.
When building the office, Chen Xing specifically told him that his office must be designed according to the standards of a star-rated hotel suite.
Of course.
He is not doing it for the trivial matters between men and women.
Rather, it has an office with star hotel standards. You can rest directly in the office after working in the early morning.
For a workaholic, this is the “dream love room”.
After briefly washing and drying his hair, Chen Xing went back to bed and fell asleep.
Shortly after he fell asleep, a delayed plane arrived at Shenzhen International Airport. Masik, who stood out from the crowd and had a first-class ticket, was the first to step out of the cabin.
He glanced at the bright moon in the sky and then scanned the airport environment with mixed emotions.
The first time he came to Shenzhen, he saw that Chen Xing was as weak as an ant. Even if he blew up the Pakistan Railway 4G network base station built by Longxing Group and Kunpeng Company, there was nothing he could do.
But when he came to Shenzhen for the second time, his Tesla Model
S was hit hard by the launch of Pilot 001, and in the end he could only manage to gain some market share through price reduction strategies.
However, the third time he came to Shenzhen, this time, he actually talked about being acquired. This gap made Masik very melancholy.
Three visits to Shenzhen, three times with different mentality, less than two years apart.
It was also in these two years that Masik witnessed the entire process of a company from being famous to being world-famous.
“Alas!” Masik sighed, looked away, and then walked quickly towards the exit of the airport. (End of this chapter)
