The next morning, Kishimoto appeared at the Hard Gold Group office in Central. He sat in the position of the boss of the conference room, the first on the right was Kiyoshi Kobayashi, and the first on the left was Rumiko Kato.

Rumiko Kato was making a work report and said: "I have personally led people to the mainland to contact NetEase in Huadu in accordance with the chairman's instructions earlier, and I have also met their president, Ding Sanshi.

During the whole contact between the two sides, we had a relatively good talk. I also expressed my willingness and interest in investing in NetEase......"

After Masayoshi Kishimoto waited until she came to an end, his eyes fell on Kobayashi Kiyoshi and said: "In addition to inspecting the investment environment in Hong Kong, the focus of your trip is still on the investment negotiations of Huadu NetEase, and strive for more shares to the greatest extent." ”

Kiyoshi Kobayashi understands that Chairman has always had a soft spot for Internet companies. This kind of soft spot also makes the other party's vision always extremely unique.

Not only in South Korea, but also in the early years of angel investment, Google, also showed an unparalleled period of strong growth.

"Isn't the chairman going to go with us to the NetEase company in Huadu to have a look?" said Kobayashi Kiyoshi in a voice that sounded his words.

"You are the president of Hard Capital Corporation. You just have to take someone with you. I am absolutely relieved that you will do something. Masayoshi Kishimoto leaned back against the black leather chair, the fingers of his hands facing each other in front of him.

Kobayashi Kiyoshi was moved in his heart, after all, it reflected the president's trust in him.

"The other party is a small and nameless company, and there is no need to bother the president. Even if our president personally goes out, it is a cannon to fight mosquitoes. One of Kobayashi Kiyoshi's subordinates is not just patting the leader's ass, but more showing an arrogant attitude of a large company towards a small company.

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn't pay attention to it for the time being, spun the chair under his buttocks, and his eyes fell on Rumiko Kato, who was sitting on his left, and said, "You arrange for Kobayashi to have a translator who understands both Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese." ”

"I recommend this Miss Wang. She is not only a member of our office, but she also participated in the whole process when I went to Huadu to contact NetEase.

Ms. Wang speaks both Cantonese and Mandarin in Chinese mainland. She also speaks Japanese and English. In addition to being a native of Hong Kong, she also studied in Japan in her early years and graduated from the University of Tsukuba with a master's degree.

Ms. Wong has a good understanding of the specific situation in both Hong Kong and the Mainland. Rumiko Kato took the initiative to introduce her assistant who was sitting under her.

"Good. You and this Miss Wang will follow Xiaolin to Huadu together. NetEase is a new type of Internet enterprise in Chinese mainland that I am quite optimistic about.

Except for the abundance of care, do not be arrogant, and do not deceive the small with the great. "Masayoshi Kishimoto knows that today's hard gold group is an aircraft carrier in front of NetEase.

NetEase in February 1999, although it was not a sampan, but the definition and evaluation given in the international capital market were not much better.

Even if it was voted the "most well-known website in China" by Computer News in January 1999, it could not change its international obscurity.

In its early days, its main business was similar to that of Google and Yahoo, or it was an imitation of Google and Yahoo. Kiyoshi Kobayashi has an in-depth understanding and work with Google and Yahoo.

During his tenure as head of the San Francisco office in the United States, he also had many contacts with Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan in accordance with Kishimoto's wishes.

Eventually, the two parties reached an agreement to complete the deal, with hard capital buying a 30% stake in Yahoo. Today, Hard Gold holds a 40 percent stake in Google and a 30 percent stake in Yahoo.

Kobayashi Kiyoshi had also read the stack of thick information about NetEase that Rumiko Kato gave him before. To be sure, he didn't really take it seriously.

Kobayashi's first reaction was that the Internet company in Chinese mainland called NetEase was one of many imitators of Google and Yahoo.

At the moment, the president said this, and he had to make an attitude of saying, "I will pay more attention to my words and deeds." ”

"Our company has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, and we must not lose our original intention. I would like to remind you not to take Chinese mainland companies lightly.

It is precisely because they are weak and lack of funds that they give us the opportunity to invest, and then allow us to earn excess profits from them in the future. "Justice Kishimoto is a serious one.

As soon as his voice fell, everyone present responded with a "understood" in unison.

Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at Rumiko Kato's lower head and said, "Miss Wang, right?"

Wang Lin did not smile, her face was serious, and she responded with a little nervousness to the word "yes".

"Although our hard capital is a Japanese company, I myself am not xenophobic, and I am employing people with an open attitude of accommodating all rivers. Whether it's Japanese or people from other countries, my principle is to use meritocracy.

If we can reach an investment agreement with NetEase in Huadu in the future, we will definitely set up an office there in the future, which will also mark our official entry into the Chinese mainland market.

As for the person in charge, it may not be you. I look forward to a great performance from you. "Kishimoto is not an empty mouth and white teeth to paint a big pie for each other.

Since she participated in the whole process, is familiar with NetEase, and has good ability, it is natural for the other party to be in charge of Huadu's affairs. I don't care what kind of nationality she is at all.

"Thank you, President, for giving me this opportunity to perform. Wang Lin said seriously.

"The opportunity is for you. As for whether you can grasp it, it depends on your actual performance. If you don't want to leave the house in the future, I won't force it.

The achievements you have made to the company will not be deliberately erased. Kishimoto smiled to ease the atmosphere.

"I follow the company's personnel arrangements. Wang Lin couldn't help but smile on her face, as if all this had come true.

Although it is said that it is going to the mainland, it also depends on where you go. After the handover, there were far more Hong Kong people going north than in the past. She didn't have the slightest bit of resistance.

Besides, it's not going to some remote place. As a first-tier city in Chinese mainland, Huadu's economic development of the whole city is very good.

Moreover, flowers have been famous for a long time. When Hong Kong was still a barren land, the flower capital was already prosperous.

What's more, the development of a career, the promotion of a position, and the increase in income, for a self-motivated person, there is nothing better than these things.

"I know, I'm verbose. However, I would like to remind you once again not to take Chinese mainland companies lightly. "Kishimoto has repeatedly stated this attitude, not only because he was a Chinese in his previous life, but also because he understands what it means to bully customers.

Although his subordinates said "understand" in front of him in their mouths, they more or less felt that Chinese mainland companies like NetEase were dirty.
