535 [Life and Death]
Jingling!
Song Zhichao tapped his fingers on the cocktail glass, and then said with a smile to Steve, who was extremely entangled in his heart: "Steve, what are you waiting for? Colombia needs you, needs you to continue to lead everyone, of course, if you want to." ”
Steve: "......"
I couldn't believe my ears.
He never thought that Song Zhichao would be so magnanimous, and he actually said to his face that he was not to blame for the past, and let himself continue to lead Sony Entertainment, oh no, tie Columbia.
After being stunned, Steve was full of emotion and excitement, and he didn't hesitate anymore, he walked directly to Song Zhichao and said, "I'm willing!" walked behind Song Zhichao from Akio Morita--- and even forgot to say to Akio Morita, the old boss: "I'm sorry!"
Akio Morita quietly watched the Sony Entertainment executives around him betray him one by one, in addition to the American ghosts, there were even two Japanese.
Again, Akio Morita understood a profound truth--- if you have milk, you are a mother.
In the face of Song Zhichao's unscrupulous provocation, where could the originally arrogant Kimura Nakao and others stand it, especially when they saw so many people, in front of Akio Morita, directly betrayed the team, and couldn't hold back anymore, Kimura Nakao roared angrily: "Yaga!"
But before Kimura Nakao and the others continued to get angry, Akio Morita spoke, and he said to Song Zhichao: "There are many interesting things in this world, I am very old and have experienced a lot, so what I want to say to you is four words--- happiness and sadness." ”
Song Zhichao smiled slightly, "Yes, but I think it's better to come to Jitai." ”
Akio Morita smiled, "No Ji Tai Lai is your Chinese idiom, which means that bad things have passed, and good things will come, but do you know that things in this world are often Tai Ji or not!"
Song Zhichao looked at Akio Morita with a calm expression, as if he had thought of something in his heart, and the smile on his face slowly condensed.
Akio Morita refused to let it go, and continued to say to Song Zhichao: "You bought Colombia just to have its huge copyright library, but if you lose it at all, even if you get the copyright library, what is the use?" smiled contemptuously.
Song Zhichao's sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean?" Akio Morita stared at Song Zhichao, a pair of old spicy eyes shooting a fierce light. "Soon you'll know what I mean. ”
Song Zhichao: "......"
At this moment, Jin Jiu suddenly hurried over--- almost bumped into the waiter with a cocktail, and as soon as he saw Song Zhichao, he hurriedly said, "Brother Chao, your call!" and then added, "Hong Kong called." ”
Song Zhichao glanced at Akio Morita suspiciously.
Akio Morita made a gesture of invitation and said to him, "Take it--- it looks like your call is really important, isn't it?"
Song Zhichao: "......"
Stretched out his hand to take the phone handed over by Jin Jiu, and immediately, Zhu Fugui's anxious voice came from inside......
……
I don't know how long it took.
At least for Song Zhichao, it seems like a century is as long.
He hung up the phone, then looked up at the sneering Akio Morita and asked, "You already knew about this?"
Akio Morita didn't deny it, nor did he admit it, he just smiled and said: "Song Zhichao, you are too strong, so you should know that your enemy is definitely not only me, not to mention that Hong Kong is your base camp, and it is understandable that someone wants to defeat you in the base camp." ”
After a pause, Akio Morita continued: "If I'm not mistaken, this is just the beginning--- your VCD was seized by the customs and can't be shipped to the United States, how can you still do business? Then, the American market suddenly vacant so many profit margins, those imitation VCDs will become popular, seize your business, you have been busy for a few years, but in the end you helped others make wedding dresses, do you think this is ridiculous, sad?" Akio Morita looked at Song Zhichao, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Song Zhichao took a deep breath, even if Akio Morita said that he didn't know about it at this moment, he wouldn't believe it, because Akio Morita's words were equivalent to sealing his front and back roads.
……
The call just now was from Zhu Fugui. Zhu Fugui told Song Zhichao on the phone that the Vanke VCD produced in the mainland electronics factory was seized by Hong Kong Customs when it was shipped to the United States through Hong Kong, a free trade port, on the charge of --- "unknown tariffs".
As one of the most well-known free trade ports in the world, Hong Kong's coastal cargo throughput is one of the best in Asia, and the tax rate of import and export goods is generally very low, and some are even duty-free goods, preferential tariff policies, which attracts and concentrates goods from all over the world.
Similarly, goods transported by sea from Hong Kong are generally subject to extremely low tariffs, and then can travel freely in major ports.
Song Zhichao's foreign trade business has always relied on the shipping network introduced by the Huo family for transportation, such as shipping to Russia, Japan, the United States, and other parts of the world.
Tariffs will also be different according to the different commodities and goods, such as Vanke VCD, which should be high-end electronic goods, so the tariffs are two or three times higher than general beverages, wine, clothes and other daily necessities.
In order to obtain the maximum profit, Song Zhichao's Wanda Foreign Trade Logistics Company will engage in some "fish and eyes" black-box operations, when declaring tariffs, Vanke VCD is mixed with beverages, clothes and wines and other necessities to declare customs together, so that you can enjoy the low tax policy of the British government in Hong Kong, and after shipping out, it will be dismantled on the sea and shipped to the United States as a new ship.
Song Zhichao knows this matter very well, and there are few innocent people in business, not to mention that the target of this tax evasion is the British government in Hong Kong, not the future Hong Kong government, so Song Zhichao turned a blind eye, but he didn't expect to be stuck today.
What kind of person is Song Zhichao, who can not give the Huo family face in Hong Kong--- you must know that the people who help Song Zhichao to engage in shipping are all people introduced by Huo Dagang, and Song Zhichao Company dares to use tariff cards, except for a few super bosses in Hong Kong who can be counted with his fingers, there is absolutely no one else.
For the first time, Song Zhichao thought of the Li family--- don't forget, Hong Kong is known as "Li Jiacheng", and only the Li family dares to touch the people covered by the Huo family.
Secondly, there is obviously something in Akio Morita's words just now.
Vanke VCD can't be shipped to the United States, the U.S. market is in short supply, and there will be imitations at this time--- you don't have to guess to know that Sony must be behind the imitations. Because only Sony has super manpower and material resources, it has imitated the VCD that has just been launched in such a short period of time.
In other words, Akio Morita is going to take advantage of the fire to rob, and when Song Zhichao can't get rid of Hong Kong Customs, let Sony's fake VCD occupy the U.S. market, and if you want to sue others for technology infringement, then it's okay, just go to court, and fight this kind of intellectual property lawsuit in the United States, it is likely that a dozen will be several years, and then it is estimated that the entire United States will be rampant with fakes, even if you win, it is useless.
In the end, as Akio Morita said, Song Zhichao was busy for a few years and made wedding dresses for others.
……
Song Zhichao's brain was racing, and he quickly figured out the cause and effect, it can be said that at this moment he encountered a real headache, to be precise, it was a matter related to the life and death of the company.
What to do?
Looking at Akio Morita with a smug face in front of him, Song Zhichao couldn't care much anymore, and said directly to Jin Jiu beside him: "Buy a plane ticket--- I want to go back to Hong Kong!"
