Chapter 879: The Senior Broker in Action
"Brother, brother, something happened!"
Feng Lintao held a roll of newspaper in his hand, rushed into the hotel room where Feng Xiaochen lived, and shouted loudly to him.
"What's wrong?" Feng Xiaochen, who was studying a European company profile, raised his head, looked at Feng Lintao, and asked calmly. He knew that his cousin had an excess IQ, but his EQ was a little in arrears, and what Feng Lintao made a fuss about was probably not an important matter.
"Brother, you see, today several British newspapers have invariably published negative news about the quality of Chinese products, some things have been five years ago, and they have also been turned out by these newspapers, and they also say that Chinese products have always not paid attention to quality, and Chinese products are a symbol of inferior products. Feng Lintao spread the newspaper in front of Feng Xiaochen and spoke angrily.
Feng Lintao has studied in Europe for many years and has many European classmates and friends. This time, he came to the UK to bid for the Hinkke Point nuclear power plant, and he also contacted some classmates in his spare time. Today, it was a classmate in London who called him and said that a London newspaper had published an article that was very unfriendly to China. Feng Lintao made a special trip to the newsstand on the street to take a look around, and found that not only the newspaper mentioned by his classmates, but also several other British newspapers had published similar articles, and they were all very large and their views were extremely extreme. Feng Lintao only glanced at it a few times, and then he was so angry that he spent money to buy a copy of each newspaper, and then almost trotted all the way back to the hotel to report to Feng Xiaochen.
Feng Xiaochen's English skills are very good, he took the newspaper, quickly skimmed through the reports that Feng Lintao had specially circled, and then said with a smile: "That's right, I said that Uchida Yu is such a capable person, how can he suffer a loss and not fight back." ”
"What? You said these reports have something to do with Uchida Yu?" Feng Lintao asked with some hindsight.
Feng Xiaochen said: "If it was just a media outlet publishing such an article, it might be interpreted as an isolated incident. Several media outlets publish such articles at the same time, and if no one manipulates them, then there are ghosts. Hyping up the quality of Chinese products at this time, who is most beneficial, can you not think of it?"
"Of course, it's Sanli Steel!" Feng Lintao said without hesitation.
Feng Xiaochen said: "Isn't this it? I have dealt with him many times, and he is very good at engaging in this kind of conspiracy. The last time I said in front of Ralman that the Japanese team was too old, Ralman would definitely say this to Uchida. Uchida Yu wants to save the defeat, but the only way to pull us into the water is to pull us into the water. He asked the media to hype up the quality of Chinese products for the British Cabinet to see. I believe that follow-up reports will come out soon, which will be nothing more than questioning China's construction of the Hinkke Point nuclear power plant, and praising the quality of Japanese manufacturing to compare with us. ”
Almost before he could finish speaking, Deng Jingming also hurriedly came in, also holding a few newspapers in his hand, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "Mr. Feng, Lin Tao, look, this is the newspaper I bought on the newsstand, which mentions the bidding of Chinese and Japanese companies for the Xinkejiao nuclear power plant, and there are two articles, and I am disgusted to see the quality of Japanese products." ”
"Wouldn't it?" Feng Lintao looked at Feng Xiaochen, his eyes full of admiration, "Brother, you really know the world without going out, you actually guessed this kind of thing." ”
"What's not bad at all?" Deng Jingming was a little confused.
Feng Lintao handed the newspaper he bought to Deng Jingming to read, and also said Feng Xiaochen's analysis just now. Deng Jingming read the local newspaper, and his face was a little gloomy:
"Mr. Feng, the Japanese are too arrogant, isn't this blatantly interfering in the bidding with public opinion?"
"They don't break the law by doing this. Feng Xiaochen said lightly.
Deng Jingming said: "However, these reports are exaggerated. There are some things that are not as serious as the newspapers say, and there are also some things that are obviously liability accidents, and we have already dealt with them seriously, how can it be said that it is the norm made in China?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "You don't care if it's an exaggeration, I just ask you, if you are not engaged in the equipment industry, and you are not Chinese, how will you feel after reading such an article?"
"That's definitely a refusal to use Chinese products. Deng Jingming said.
"Isn't that right?" Feng Xiaochen said, "What Uchida Yu wants, this is the result." As long as the people have such a delusion, they will put pressure on the government, and then the government will not dare to cooperate with us. In this way, won't the Hinkhorn nuclear power plant fall into the hands of Sanli?"
"We should write an article to refute them immediately!" Feng Lintao advised.
Deng Jingming understands the world better than him, he said: "It's useless to write articles to refute, everyone only cares about negative news, and they don't care about your explanation." What's more, this kind of thing, sometimes the more it is described, the darker it gets, it's okay not to explain it, but when it is explained, it makes people even more suspicious. ”
"Is that so?" Feng Lintao asked Feng Xiaochen.
Feng Xiaochen nodded: "Jing Ming is right, this kind of thing can't be explained. What's more, some of our product quality problems mentioned in the article are also real, how can we explain them?"
"Then we can only sit back and wait?" Feng Lintao asked.
Feng Xiaochen smiled: "That's not it. If a few articles bring us down, then we are too vulnerable. Don't worry, let's talk to Ruiz and them step by step. Ruiz is a knowledgeable man, and he is not going to be swayed by the media. On the media side, just leave it to me. ”
Feng Lintao and Deng Jingming exchanged a look with each other, and Deng Jingming said with a smile: "When Mr. Feng says this, I am relieved." I now understand why the leader asked me to ask Mr. Feng for help if I had something. Sure enough, it was Mr. Feng who came out of the horse, a top two. Lin Tao and I are not as wise as Mr. Feng. ”
Feng Xiaochen was amused by Deng Jingming, he slapped Deng Jingming on the back, and said: "Hurry up and go to work! I am not good at introducing nuclear power equipment, I am just shielding you from the wind and rain." ”
Deng Jingming and Feng Lintao left, Feng Xiaochen sent them away, and the smile on his face gradually retracted.
Uchida Yu, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Originally, I didn't intend to stir up trouble at this time, but since you did it first, I'll just give it to you and make a few nails for the whole of Japan.
Thinking like this, Feng Xiaochen took out his mobile phone and dialed a domestic number.
"Oh, old bag, I'm Xiaochen. Feng Xiaochen said into the receiver of the mobile phone.
"It's Mr. Feng, have you come back from Europe?" On the other end of the phone, it was Bao Chengming, the general manager of Chenyu Information Company, who asked Feng Xiaochen enthusiastically. Chen Yu Information Company is responsible for the work of industrial intelligence collection, and has a large number of information workers all over the world. Occasionally, these informants can also help with other tasks, such as Hotby, who was one of the informants hired by the information company in Europe, but later became a broker.
Feng Xiaochen said: "I'm still in Europe, and it is estimated that it will take a month to go back." Lao Bao, I called you this time, there is an important matter that you need to do, and the sooner the better. ”
"Mr. Feng, don't worry, what is the matter to my old bag, when did I go wrong with you?" Bao Chengming replied confidently.
Feng Xiaochen explained his plan to Bao Chengming in detail. Bao Chengming just listened at first, and after listening for a while, he quickly began to find a pen and paper to record, because the things Feng Xiaochen mentioned were so complicated, if Bao Chengming didn't use paper to record them, it was estimated that he would have to forget it when he turned around.
Two days later, on the streets of Tokyo, a young man walked into an izakaya. He looked around, then went straight to a table and asked a man in his mid-60s who was sitting at one end of the table:
"Excuse me, are you the Mr. Yuan who called me just now and said that he wanted to expose the news?"
"Yes, excuse me, are you Mr. Hideo Kagawa, a reporter for the Asahi Shimbun?" the man asked rhetorically to the young man.
This man who calls himself Mr. Yuan, his real name is Guo Peiyuan, yes, it is the same Guo Peiyuan who has been a broker for the Japanese for a long time. Today's Guo Peiyuan, who is over 60 years old, is still doing his old job, running a public relations company in the capital, the business is not good or bad, and it is not a problem to maintain a living.
As early as more than a decade ago, Guo Peiyuan realized that China's power was rising, while Japan's power was declining. As a broker, judging the situation is the basic quality, and since then, he has been seeking cooperation with equipment companies, and has also been forgiven by Feng Xiaochen, and has also helped equipment companies complete the mergers and acquisitions of a number of Japanese companies.
This time, Guo Peiyuan was entrusted by Bao Chengming to make a special trip to Japan to complete a task delivered by Feng Xiaochen. Bao Chengming and Guo Peiyuan met by chance, because Guo Peiyuan was more diligent in moving around with many Japanese companies, so Bao Chengming developed him into a supernumerary informant, and from time to time he would buy some news about Japanese companies from Guo Peiyuan. For Guo Peiyuan, as long as someone is willing to give money, it doesn't matter what he does. The information he provided to Bao Chengming is not a trade secret, but if Bao Chengming wants to learn about it through other channels, the cost may be greater. If you provide some information you know, you can get money, how could Guo Peiyuan refuse such a thing?
After going back and forth, Guo Peiyuan and Bao Chengming became acquainted, so Bao Chengming handed over the task assigned by Feng Xiaochen to Guo Peiyuan. In Bao Chengming's view, Guo Peiyuan has the professionalism of a senior broker, and he is comfortable doing this kind of thing.
"I'm Hideo Kagawa. The young man replied, "I'm a specialist in the Sankei Shimbun, and if you have a good news lead that you can provide me, I will pay you according to the rules." If your leads are valuable, I think I'll give you a satisfactory price. ”
