Chapter 76: Don't hug the wrong thigh
"Panasonic seniors, I toast you, come, this is my country's famous Moutai, although the degree is a bit high, but it will definitely not give people a headache. This cup is only 20 grams, and it is absolutely fine to drink 3 cups in one meal. β
Gu Biao put on a master's posture and specially replaced Konosuke Matsushita with the smallest wine glass.
Persuading an 86-year-old man to drink is such a thing, after all, it is easy to commit taboos, and you have to pay attention to every detail.
And he specially opened a bottle of special Moutai with only 43 degrees, which is relatively low.
"Okay, this wine should be drunk today, it's terrible in the future. Konosuke Matsushita picked up the small cup and took a sip.
He has to drink 60 grams of wine for a meal, and of course he can't drink it fast.
And Gu Biao was bored.
followed by Han Ting and Akio Morita. Since everyone at this table is Japanese, even the translation is omitted, so it is good for everyone to communicate directly.
"Mr. Gu speaks Japanese very well, where did you learn it? β
"To tell you the truth, I used to be at the Foreign Affairs Academy, a school for the training of diplomats in my country. But my style was too hawkish, and it was easy for foreign friends to have unfriendly associations, so the school gave up on training me to be a diplomat.
I transferred my legally earned winnings abroad and started a small business by accident. It's a shame. β
Konosuke Matsushita thought back for a while: "I remember, some time ago, at an industry symposium, I met the president of Mitsui Sushi Co., Ltd. of Acid Co., Ltd., and at that time he said that he had met an unborn Chinese negotiator, and he was very tough. Mr. Gu, why do you help China's state-owned enterprises for a while, and then represent Hong Kong investment? β
Gu Biao hurriedly humbly: "That's President Mitsui's reputation, this is also the national situation, many things, the country lacks talents who understand the outside world and can deal with the outside world, so even people who are more morally selfish and self-interested must abandon their flaws." Huo Ye of Xiangjiang has done some win-win things for the country for his own interests, but this does not mean that he is not a 'capitalist'. β
Gu Biao's words were very arrogant, he was comparing himself with Huo Ye.
However, this is the best way to say it in the current environment.
There was an undercurrent surging, and the clouds were treacherous under the table, but outsiders only saw talking and laughing.
A Xinhua News Agency reporter who came with his boss, after taking a photo of the first table, came here to ask for instructions: "Mr. Gu, is it convenient to take a photo of you now?"
Gu Biao immediately translated it in Japanese, and the two foreigners agreed angrily.
Konosuke Matsushita joked with great interest: "It seems that it is going to be in your newspaper again? I heard that the photo of me and the great man the year before last was on the front page." β
Gu Biao wanted to say: That's because of the great man, not because of you.
Today's photo, it's good to be on it, the front page is absolutely impossible.
After posing for the photo, the female reporter came over again and asked: "May I ask Mr. Matsushita, can we use the sentence you just mentioned, 'I only believe now that Mr. Gu's negotiation skills are no less than when I was with Philips'?"
Konosuke Matsushita was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Of course, this is freedom of the press, in our book, the government will never review the content of publications, only industry associations will check it." β
After listening to Panasonic's personal admission, the female reporter's solemn respect for Gu Biao became stronger and stronger.
This is the praise of a man who is known as the god of management!
As soon as the editorial was written, even if Gu Biao didn't have a penny of family property now, I am afraid that he would be asked by those small business owners in China who were reading "The Biography of Matsushita Konosuke" to negotiate and mediate at a high price.
It's a pity that now people are quite valuable, and only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Foreign Investment Commission can afford to use this mouth.
After the guests and hosts of the banquet were happy, after Panasonic drank three cups, the relatively young and strong Akio Morita did not hesitate to pull Gu Biao to continue drinking, chatting about a lot of business details.
"Mr. Gu, has your company considered relying more on our Sony network in terms of distribution channels? I can give you additional discounts in terms of distribution deduction rate.
You know, Sony doesn't compete with you, Nintendo Namco is your main rival, and we won't develop our own console business. And Sony's Walkman distribution channel network is definitely highly consistent with the trendy consumer group you are watching......"
Akio Morita persuaded harmlessly.
What he said is not actually a lie, the first time in history Sony felt coveted for the game console industry, it was after the game console manufacturers occupied the US market.
Because Sony has no interest in the arcade model, they don't sell public entertainment, only personal and household goods.
And no matter how popular Japanese arcade machines are, they are limited to arcade machines, and they can't break into the home machine market - at least until the collapse of Atari in 1983, normal people can't see even a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, if Atari does not die, Akio Morita will continue to be coaxed, and he will not dare to move his thoughts.
It is said that my "single-mindedness" for work and entrepreneurial purposes is very extreme.
"Okay, then I wish the cooperation a happy one, how much can Chairman Morita help us sell, and we can give a 20% retail deduction rate within a year. After a year, according to the change in the average profit margin of the product in the industry, it will be adjusted again. If I promise too much, I will not be sincere. Gu Biao agreed instead of Han Ting.
Han Ting was still a little worried, after all, she didn't know the history, and she was afraid that Sony would have other ideas after getting acquainted with the characteristics of the channel.
Gu Biao explained frankly in public: "Sister Han, don't think too much, we believe that entrepreneurs are very focused, even President Shengtian, who only focuses on one business all his life, has been said to be 'not single-minded', and they can't do anything more excessive." β
Han Ting heard it secretly: "It's not specific to do one business in your life, so is there anything more specific?"
The attachΓ© next to him, the reporter who took pictures from Xinhua News Agency, felt unbelievable when he heard this interesting talk, but Han Ting helped them ask the question.
"Of course, I think it's only because I've been doing the same business for generations. Gu Biao replied as a matter of course, as if he knew the enemy very well,
"After all, there is no imperial examination era, so their class is solidified, and there is no upward channel, so it is easy to precipitate and ponder one thing for a lifetime, which is called the spirit of craftsmen. When I travel to Kyoto, I see all the shops that are old in the old capital and thousands of years old.
For example, the head of the Morita family, as far as I know, the 15th generation of the ancestors were the operators of 'Zi Ri Song' brewing. As the eldest son, he was supposed to inherit the family winery. Later, he opened a radio factory, and he was said to be unfocused. β
If you really want to calculate history, Akio Morita's family has been brewing sake since the middle of the Ming Dynasty in China, which is even older than the "National Cellar 1573" in Luzhou Laojiao. But the family inherited a 500-year-old cellar, threw it to his younger brother to run it, and started a radio factory under the scolding.
Although Han Ting had known about herself, she really hadn't paid attention to these details, and she couldn't help but be amazed when she heard it.
said that I only do one thing in my life, and I am indeed a monster.
"Mr. Gu really knows us very well, and I will understand it when I come to this cup. Corporal Akio Morita took the initiative to toast.
When the banquet reached its climax, several representatives of Hong Kong businessmen also came to join in the fun, and Gu Biao saw Sir Shao and the charter boat king from afar - the two of them were the creditors who subscribed to the trust bonds issued by CITIC for Hanle Electronics, and now they are holding a banquet in Xiangjiang, of course, they will also come to the guests to show up and say something.
He emphasized that "after buying the boss's CITIC bonds, how stable the interest is, how small the risk is, and how reassuring the project is when the money is taken and invested."
So many big bosses greeted Gu Biao, which naturally attracted a burst of spotlight.
β¦β¦
After two days of negotiating between Japanese and Hong Kong businessmen at the Peninsula Hotel, Han Ting had to go back to Shajiao Industrial Zone first.
The factory has just been created, and many things are inseparable, and she needs to take care of it personally.
And several leaders of the development zone, that is, District Mayor Huang, Director Qiao, and Director Ma, are not qualified to continue to accompany the guests of Yueben and Xiangjiang, and must return to the mainland to work.
In the past two days, they have also watched Gu Ao's performance in the distance in the posture of a background board, which is called admiration for a five-body throw.
Originally, they just thought that Han Ting and Gu Biao relied on the "reward of the first righteous", drank the first sip of water to accept CITIC Trust bond financing, and were erected as a benchmark as a flag, so they were treated with such courtesy.
But when they saw that the chaebols and Xiangjiang tycoons were also equal and in-depth exchanges in front of Gu Biao, and they always felt that Gu Biao's words were quite inspiring and far-sighted, the effect was completely different.
Foreign guests can't act to save face, which means that Gu Biao is a real cow and has a real brain.
"Be careful all the way, the whole factory will depend on you alone, after I finish talking here, I will fly directly to Hujiang, and I will not come to see you again." At the time of parting, Gu Biao cautiously took care of Han Ting for a few words.
"Don't worry, I won't survive alone when I'm in Ben, at least there is no black state in the development zone. Han Ting is very confident.
And Director Qiao and Director Ma hurriedly came over to ask for credit in front of Gu Biao: "Gu Dong rest assured! In the one-acre and three-point land in the development zone, there is anything that Mr. Han can't take care of, just call us directly! We will answer the special line, and we will deal with it as soon as possible, if it is delayed overnight, you can report to the top!"
They already regarded Gu Biao as a thick thigh, and hugged Gu Biao before he could fly. If Gu Biao is willing to come to the development zone to open a few more factories in the future, their political achievements will not soar.
"Then please. Gu Biao sent the group on the road.
It is said that after Director Ma returned to the Shajiao Development Zone, he worked overtime overnight that day to re-take out the construction plan of the preparatory committee, and combed through it to see if there was any point that could speed up the process.
As a result, he also delayed picking up his son from school.
After his son came home with a disgraced face, he complained about this: "Dad, why are you in such a hurry to go to work, it's not the same in the morning and at night." β
"If we do it as soon as possible, we will get to Gu Dong a day earlier. Otherwise, seeing that he has been taking goods from Xiangjiang, how can we grab the opportunity to show our faces with Director Qiao. β
"Uncle Gu is really so powerful, is it even more powerful than Uncle Li?"
Of course, his son is not familiar with the so-called "Uncle Li", he just followed Director Ma, and met Li Ka-shing at a reception for Hong Kong businessmen in the Shajiao Development Zone at the end of last year.
"Uncle Li" heard that his family was also a Chao-Shantou villager, so he could be regarded as establishing a slight nod of friendship.
In the eyes of his son, the most powerful rich man in the world is a big real estate developer in Hong Kong like "Uncle Li".
"It can't be compared like this," Director Ma touched his son's head with a smile, "At present, Uncle Li is much richer than your Uncle Gu." But how old is Uncle Li, how old is your Uncle Gu, ten years later, Uncle Li is afraid that there will be a tie at most, and after fifteen years, it will definitely be far inferior. β
