Chapter 275: Exploiting Each Other
A few days later, Meng Xiaobai got on a plane to the island country, accompanied by two bodyguards, two assistants, and Ruan Song, who had to go with him.
"I said the god of pine nuts. Meng Xiaobai complained, "It's about to be the Spring Festival, why don't you stay at home, why are you going to the island country?"
"Don't mention it!" Ruan Song lamented, "I'm going to be urged to marry as soon as I go home now, and my mother said that if you don't bring your girlfriend back for a day, you won't be allowed to enter the house!"
"So you're looking for a girlfriend?" Meng Xiaobai teased, "What's the matter, hasn't Miss Meisha blocked you yet?"
"Are you kidding?" Ruan Song said exaggeratedly, "When my brother was thin before, it was also a school grass, and a lot of girls chased after him." Although he is now in good shape, this charm is still there. ”
"Misa Aono, that little girl, is so obsessed with me now, or she says that she misses me, I won't come to the island country. ”
"Blow, just keep blowing!" Meng Xiaobai gave him a look of disdain. But then again, Ruan Song seems to have really lost some fat in the past few months, and he doesn't have as much tonnage as it used to seem.
As soon as he got off the plane, Meng Xiaobai was really taken aback, because Misa Aono picked up the plane at the airport, obviously, to pick up Ruan Song.
At this time, the temperature in the island country is still very low, and it only snowed in Tokyo yesterday, but Misa Aono is wearing long boots and shorts, exposing her legs, and she is not wearing a bare leg artifact, and her skin is a little blue from the cold.
"Meisa, why don't you wear cotton pants? Ruan Song took off his coat and draped it over Misa Aono, because the size was too big, and he could directly cover his legs.
"Ruan Songjun, I'm not cold, thank you. "Misa Aono is still a little embarrassed.
"Well, let's talk, let's go. Meng Xiaobai said, and the person sent by Sun Yi to receive him also arrived at the airport.
"Ruan Song, take good care of Mei Sha!" Meng Xiaobai gave him a "you know" look before leaving.
......
Meng Xiaobai and his entourage stayed in Tokyo for a few days and signed new supply contracts with several telecom operators. Without exception, because of the best-selling Martian smartphones in the island country, every operator wants to increase the purchase volume, and this trip, the order alone won nearly 30 billion yen, which is a bumper harvest.
In the SoftBank Group Building, in Sun Yi's office, Sun Yi had been chatting with Meng Xiaobai for more than an hour, and the content was naturally about cooperation and the development of the island country's market.
"Mr. Meng, I admire you very much, and I think that you and the deep space technology you have created will become a unique enterprise in the global technology community in the next ten years. ”
"In order to facilitate our cooperation and the development of deep space technology in the island market, I sincerely invite you to become an outside director of our SoftBank Group. ”
When Sun Yi finished saying these words, Meng Xiaobai was still a little stunned, and he said in surprise: "Mr. Sun, you want to invite me to become a director of SoftBank?"
You must know that the two companies are only a cooperative relationship, no matter how you say it, Meng Xiaobai has no reason to become a director of SoftBank, and he does not have a single stake in SoftBank.
"Yes. Sun Yi nodded, "I think our two families have a lot to do in the future." If you agree, I can transfer part of the shares of SoftBank Group to you. At the same time, you will also have the right to vote on major decisions of the SoftBank Group and enjoy the basic rights of directors of the SoftBank Group. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, I still don't understand. Meng Xiaobai always felt that there must be something wrong with the benefits of sending it to the door.
Sun Yi knew that he would not accept it rashly, so he said: "Mr. Meng doesn't need to refuse in a hurry, you can listen to me before making a decision." ”
"Speak. Meng Xiaobai nodded slightly.
"Mr. Meng should know that I was born in an ordinary family and is not a traditional force in any island country. It has taken me most of my life to build SoftBank Group into a world-class enterprise. Sun Yi began to tell.
"This is the work of my life, this commercial building, which seems to be magnificent, is actually not very strong. Sun Yi said, "In the island country, mining, manufacturing, energy, arms, real estate, and so on are all monopolized by those family consortia!"
"I have tried my best to establish a place in these pillar industries of the people, but the industry of the SoftBank Group is slowly being eroded by these conglomerates. These consortia can't tolerate me at all. ”
"Over the years, SoftBank Group's assets have been shrinking, but fortunately, we have a lot of returns on investment abroad, which can be supported. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Yi sighed, "I'm already old, and my energy is not as good as before, I don't know if I can hold it up in the future." So I want to work with you to develop these industries together. ”
Meng Xiaobai didn't trust him because of his "heart-to-heart" chat, and said: "Mr. Sun, when I become a director of SoftBank, don't I stand on the opposite side of the island consortium?"
"Mr. Meng, you should understand one thing. Sun Yi said, "This is an island country, and you are a Chinese person! Deep Space Technology is a Chinese enterprise, and from the very beginning, you have stood on the opposite side of them. ”
"I was born in an island country, but my ancestral home is in China, and for this reason, I am often criticized in my home country. Not to mention you. ”
Meng Xiaobai naturally knew this truth, he smiled and said: "If I become a director of SoftBank, as long as Deep Space Technology makes some moves in the island country, it will definitely encounter crazy suppression by local consortiums." What do I gain by doing this?"
"A lot!" Sun Yi emphasized, "even if you don't become a director of SoftBank, they will still suppress you." The island nation consortium is inherently xenophobic, not to mention that there are Americans behind the scenes! Become a director of SoftBank, and the SoftBank Group will give full support to your industry in China. ”
"Didn't the Chinese people say that a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake on the ground? No matter how powerful you are, you are just a company, and as long as the government of the island country restricts it, you will definitely not be able to move an inch. Becoming a director of SoftBank is a completely different nature. ”
Meng Xiaobai also knew this truth, and he still needed to think about it seriously. He said: "Mr. Sun, this matter is very important, I have to think about it for a few days." ”
When Sun Yi heard him say this, he knew that he was halfway there, and he smiled: "Of course you can." In the past few days, Mr. Meng can play casually in the island country, and I will arrange someone to accompany him. Five days later, the contemptible people will hold a birthday banquet at the villa on Kyushu Island, hoping that Mr. Meng will enjoy it. At that time, I will also introduce some business friends to each other. ”
"Definitely. Meng Xiaobai said.
Back at the hotel, Meng Xiaobai had a video call with the company's senior management to discuss the matter.
"Mr. Meng, this old fox obviously wants to use us as a gunman, let us fight to the death with the consortium of the island country, and he will pick up the cheap behind!" Huang Yu said.
"Old Pan, what do you think?" Meng Xiaobai asked Pan Yu, in business, Pan Yu had more experience than all of them.
He has had smooth roads and low points, and now he has grown into one of the top management talents in deep space technology.
Pan Yu's brows moved, and he pondered: "In this matter, in fact, what he said makes sense. As long as we want to make money from the islanders, we can't avoid collisions with local consortia. Because what we do is all high-tech industry, they will definitely suppress it when the time comes. ”
"In the island country, because we are foreign-owned, we have nothing to take advantage of. And the island government is also likely to fall into the trap, like Carlos Ghosn of France before him. ”
"Carlos Ghosn? Meng Xiaobai said.
Carlos Ghosn, who is a Brazilian, Lebanese and French national, is the chairman of Renault Motors. Pan Yu said.
Under his prompting, the French Renault company and the island country Nissan Motor Alliance became the world's largest automobile alliance organization, and Mitsubishi Motors also joined in, forming the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, with Carlos Ghosn as CEO. ”
In the alliance, Renault owns 43% of Nissan's shares, while Nissan has only 15% of Renault's company, causing dissatisfaction among Nissan's top management. They announced the abolition of Ghosn's CEO position, and Ghosn did not sit still, announcing that he would make business changes. ”
Just as Ghosn finished announcing the plan, the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office in the island nation suddenly arrested Ghosn for a year. Until the end of '19, Ghosn escaped security by private jet by hiding in a musical instrument case to evade security. ”
"We don't know exactly how many interests are behind this. Pan Yu became serious, "But behind Nissan Motor is one of the six major consortia of the island nation, the Fuji Consortium, and behind Mitsubishi Motors, there is the Mitsubishi Consortium among the six consortia. ”
"Think about it, how powerful these consortia are in the island country! As long as their interests are violated, it is not surprising that nothing can happen!"
"So, it's not bad to agree to SoftBank's conditions?" asked Huang Yu.
"Promise SoftBank that we have nothing to lose. They want to use us, and we can use them, use each other. One more ally in the island country will make it more convenient for us to expand the island country's market!" Pan Yu said.
"Actually, it's okay to say yes. Meng Xiaobai also agreed with Pan Yu's point of view, "But you can't agree so easily, you have to put on an attitude." In addition, how to talk and how to cooperate, we also need to draw up a charter. ”
"Yes. ”
Meng Xiaobai must develop the island market, not only that, but he also wants to develop South Korea, Australia, Europe, North and South America, and the global market!
There is only one reason, he needs money, money is resources, he needs the resources of the whole world! This money is not because he wants to spend it himself, but if he wants to develop super technology, he must have so much.
What rockets, satellites, space stations, nuclear fusion, particle colliders, and so on, even big powers like China and the United States can hardly afford these super science and technology projects! What can deep space science and technology be used for research and development? Of course, it can only be done by gathering the wealth and resources of the whole world!
When Meng Xiaobai was planning how to use technology products to enter the island country, the doorbell rang at his door, and a crisp female voice asked outside: "Hello, is this Mr. Meng Xiaobai's residence?"
