Chapter 0688 Advice
"You say that the Tianming Group is evacuating Southeast Asia?" Matsuda Ichiro looked at Toyoda Hideyoshi, and suddenly laughed, "Toyoda-kun, don't be joking, what kind of April Fool's Day tricks are we doing at our age!"
Southeast Asia is one of the three major sales markets of Tianming Group, and its sales share is almost the same as Tianming Group's share in China.
"Why, Matsuda-kun still doesn't know about this?" Toyoda Hideyoshi was not annoyed, and still had a calm tone.
"If Toyota-kun came this time, just for that matter, then I will not accompany you, Tianming Group and our Mazda company are partnerships, Toyota-kun should not provoke again. Besides, if Tianming Group is really as big as Toyota-kun said, then why is it calm outside now, and there is no news at all?"
Obviously, Ichiro Matsuda still didn't believe what Toyoda Hideyoshi said.
"Since Matsuda-kun doesn't want to believe it, then it's useless for me to say more, so I won't continue to bother you, but...... I advise Matsuda-kun to investigate clearly, do business with the Chinese, do not keep a heart, you will pay a painful price. With that, Hideyoshi Toyoda stood up, and then took a document from the secretary's hand,
"This is a document from Tatsui Miyazaki, the sales director of Toyota in Southeast Asia, if Matsuda-kun is interested, you can take a look, and I won't bother Matsuda-kun to send me and say goodbye. ”
Although he still didn't get any valuable information, judging from Matsuda Ichiro's reaction, Toyota Hideyoshi had determined that Mazda's side was completely unaware of the actions of the Tianming Group in Southeast Asia.
Since Matsuda Ichiro didn't know, there was no point in him continuing to stay here.
However, Toyota Hideyoshi has already planted the seeds of doubt in Matsuda Ichiro's heart, and then Matsuda Ichiro will definitely try his best to figure out this matter, and Toyoda Hideyoshi can just get the answer he wants through Mazda.
If even Mazda can't achieve its goal in the end, then Toyota Hideyoshi can only use the media to force the Tianming Group to comply.
It's really like what Toyota Hideyoshi thought, Matsuda Ichiro is really muttering in his heart, with his understanding of Toyota Hideyoshi, Toyota Hideyoshi has never been the kind of person who likes to chase after the wind and shadows, since Toyota Hideyoshi dares to ask this, there must be a reason.
Matsuda Ichiro looked at the last document left by Hideyoshi Toyoda, and finally couldn't hold back, picked it up and looked through it carefully.
The information is not thick, it is all about the sales records of Tianming Group in Southeast Asia in the recent period, Matsuda Ichiro looked at it for a long time, and then put down the information in his hand, and the expression on his face became serious.
Frankly speaking, judging from these figures alone, it is not possible to get the news that Tianming Group is withdrawing from Southeast Asia, but in comparison with the data, there is indeed a trace of abnormality, which makes Matsuda Ichiro very incomprehensible.
"You ask the sales department in Southeast Asia to verify the authenticity of the data in this document, and in addition, let them investigate whether Tianming Group has any unusual actions in Southeast Asia. Also, let Mr. Jiro Matsushima wait for me in the office. Matsuda Ichiro quickly gave this series of orders.
It didn't take long for Jiro Matsushima to come to Ichiro Matsuda's office, and he was directly responsible for the joint venture project with the Amaaki Group, which is why Ichiro Matsuda asked him to come over.
"President, do you have anything to do with me?" said Jiro Matsushima respectfully.
"Have you heard recently that the Tianming Group has any special actions in Southeast Asia?" asked Ichiro Matsuda directly.
"I don't have any news about this, and even if they do anything, they won't let us know, right, why did the president suddenly ask that?"
"Toyota's Hideyoshi Toyoshi just came to me, and he said that the Amaaki Group has been secretly withdrawing from Southeast Asia, what do you think about this?"
Jiro Matsushima picked it up curiously and looked at it, "President, Toyota's data alone doesn't mean anything, right? And even if the Tianming Group withdraws from Southeast Asia, what does it have to do with us?"
"We are now in a cooperative relationship with them, if Tianming Group really withdraws from the Southeast Asian market but does not tell us, it means that their group must have encountered some problems, and cooperate with the company in question, how do you let me go?" Matsuda Ichiro said with a gloomy face.
Just as Jiro Matsushima was about to speak, the phone in the office suddenly rang, and then I saw Ichiro Matsuda answer the phone with an increasingly ugly face.
"It has been confirmed in Southeast Asia that Tianming Group is indeed withdrawing from the Southeast Asian market, you can find out this matter for me, and then report to me!" Matsuda Ichiro finally couldn't continue to calm down, he became more and more worried about the prospects of cooperation between Mazda and Tianming Group.
"Yes, President, I'll deal with it right away. Matsushima Jiro also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately replied seriously.
Although it is true that Tianming Group is not obliged to disclose its development plan to the public, such a large-scale business adjustment can indeed explain some problems, and Matsuda Ichiro's concern is justified.
After leaving the office, Jiro Matsushima immediately dialed Zhou Jingming's phone, and after the phone rang a few times, Zhou Jingming's voice finally came.
"Zhou Jun, it's me, Matsushima Jiro, I have something I want to ask you, and I ask Zhou Jun to tell me truthfully. ”
"It turned out to be Mr. Matsushima, please speak up. Zhou Jingming said with some surprise, but he could vaguely guess that he was here for things in Southeast Asia.
Toyota secretly contacted Tianming Group's dealers in Southeast Asia, and Zhou Jingming already knew that the call from the island country at this time was related to this matter.
"I would like to ask, is your company withdrawing from the Southeast Asian market?"
"Yes, we will be suspending all sales in Southeast Asia in June this year, but this is only temporary, and we will be back in Southeast Asia in a short time. Zhou Jingming didn't hide anything, anyway, it won't be long before everyone will know about it.
Even if Tianming Group wants to hide it, it is estimated that Toyota will be eager to tell the world about it, right?
"Can you take the liberty of asking why?" asked Jiro Matsushima after a moment's hesitation, but still asked.
"All I can say is that this is our normal strategic adjustment. Zhou Jingming smiled, "I know what your company is worried about, but what I can guarantee is that everything is normal in our Tianming Group, and the cooperation with Mazda will not be affected in any way, please trust us." ”
"In addition......" Zhou Jingming paused, "If you can, I also hope that your company can reduce its sales business in Southeast Asia, which can be regarded as a piece of advice from me." ”
