Su Cheng took the phone and looked at the number display on it curiously.
This is a very unfamiliar phone number.
Moreover, the phone number is not from Xiangjiang.
Looking at the area code, it should be the number from Japan.
Su Cheng was a little surprised, why would someone from Japan call him?
Whether it is Hutchison Whampoa Group or Su Group, they now have their own branches in Japan.
But Su Cheng rarely pays attention to this matter.
Basically, everything over there is the business of whichever company is responsible.
Despite this, Su Cheng pressed the answer button.
He wanted to see who was looking for him.
Since he has his number, it should be someone he knows, or an extremely important business manager under him.
"Is this Mr. Su Cheng?" On the phone, a strange middle-aged voice reached Su Cheng's ears. He spoke neither Xiangjiang dialect nor English, but standard Mandarin.
"I am Su Cheng, who are you?" Su Cheng asked curiously.
"Hello, boss, I am Yan Yingming from the Su Group's Dongying Branch. I have something important to report to you. I have already reported it to Mr. Yang. He asked me to call directly and then report to you. You report it once." Yan Yingming said quickly on the phone.
Su Cheng still has some impression of Yan Yingming. He is the president of Su Group's Japanese branch. Although he has never met him, Su Cheng also has a certain understanding of this person.
When Yang Chaoye reported the situation of the Su Group to Su City, he often mentioned Yan Yingming.
This is an executive recruited by Yang Chaoye from Beautiful Country. It is said that, like Yang Chaoye, he went to study in Beautiful Country from the mainland and then stayed to work there. He once worked under Yang Chaoye for a long time. , work ability was recognized by Yang Chaoye.
As the saying goes, once the emperor and his courtiers came, the Su Group is now managed by Yang Chaoye. It is normal for him to recruit some of his former cronies to assist him in managing the Su Group.
After all, the former confidants also proved that they knew everything.
Japan, as a relatively large market, allows Yang Chaoye to appoint him to Japan, which naturally shows that Yan Yingming has the ability to manage a large branch company.
"Mr. Yan, tell me." Su Cheng said directly.
Since Yang Chaoye asked him to call him again to tell him, it seemed to be a very important matter. Maybe not only did he have the right to know, but he might also need to confirm some things.
Otherwise, Yang Chaoye can handle ordinary matters by himself, and there is no need to call Su City. "With such a boss, our Su Group has been developing in Japan for more than half a year. Working side by side with the Japanese branch of Hutchison Whampoa Group, our business in Japan has been expanding very smoothly. According to It is planned that in the next five years, in order to gain more markets in Japan, our Su Group will invest a huge amount of more than 1 billion US dollars in Japan.
Before, everything. The development is very smooth. Last month, our revenue in Japan reached 90 million U.S. dollars, and the profit exceeded 40 million U.S. dollars. It is said that the Hutchison Whampoa Group is even more than us. Monthly revenue has exceeded US$100 million.
According to the normal development speed, the revenue of our Su Group's Japanese branch will definitely exceed 100 million US dollars this month. This will become Su Group's second largest overseas market after the beautiful country.
After we entered the Japanese market, we began large-scale investments in various industries, including real estate investment. In February, we purchased a property with an area of more than 5,000 square meters from Mitsui Fudosan in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. The land was sold for a total price of US$200 million.
This land originally belonged to Mitsui Fudosan, which is also a real estate development company. However, it has encountered financial problems in the past two years, so it chose to sell the land to our Su Group for US$200 million. According to It is planned that we will build a commercial building with a height of more than 200 meters on this land. After the building is completed, it will become the headquarters building of the Su Group's Japanese branch. In addition, the excess offices will be rented out.
However, at the beginning of this month, the largest leader in Tokyo of the Sankogumi, the largest violent society in Japan, called me and hoped that I could sell this land to them for about US$120 million. Naturally, we I didn’t agree, so I refused directly at that time.
I originally thought that this matter would just go away. Unexpectedly, our business in Tokyo began to be threatened, resulting in a significant decline in our revenue in Tokyo this month.
Not only that, last week, the door of one of our Oracle brand experience stores in Tokyo’s Chuo District was violently vandalized in the early morning, and almost all the goods inside were wiped out. According to statistics, only this Oracle brand experience store Our Su Group's losses alone reached 200 million yen, not counting the losses incurred by the Hutchison Whampoa Group.
Oh, by the way, if converted into Hong Kong dollars, it should be about 4.6 million Hong Kong dollars.
This is just a direct loss. Counting the decline in revenue caused by their threats during this period, our loss this month is at least more than one billion yen, which is more than 23 million Hong Kong dollars. The loss is very heavy.
In addition, one of our store managers in Tokyo was attacked by a group of tattooed men with beer bottles a few days ago, resulting in a head injury and bleeding. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.
We have also called the police and tried to communicate with the Japanese Investment Promotion Department, but so far, the Tokyo Police Department has only given an unknown target for the night attack that night, and there are too many clues to leave it alone. The Investment Promotion Department only asked us to strengthen our protection due to insufficient evidence.
At this time, I have realized that I cannot solve this matter. The inaction of the local government and the intimidation of violent groups have made it impossible for us to operate normally. Now our employees in Tokyo are panicking, fearing that they will be implicated. To protect themselves, some employees simply took leave at home.
Mr. Yang felt that since they dared to act like this, they did not take the Su Group seriously, so even if he came forward to approach the Japanese government, it might not be useful.
Fortunately at present, the scope of this matter is limited to Tokyo, and the business in other parts of Japan has not been affected and is still developing at the original speed. Otherwise, our losses will be even greater.
So, he asked me to call you, the boss, to see what the boss would do. ”
Su Cheng understands, it means that the Su Group’s Japanese branch has encountered forceful buying and selling.
Su Cheng also knew that these violent societies often relied on forced buying and selling to make their fortunes, and many of them used unfair means.
However, he never thought that this would actually happen to him! (End of this chapter)
