"The handling opinion came out, and the Toshiba Group was sanctioned, and all its subsidiaries and product lines were banned from entering the market of the United States and its allies for two years. ”

"In terms of personnel handling, President Ichiro Watari Sugichiro resigned, and the matter was revealed. Chairman Masayoshi Saeki usually does not interfere in management, and it is okay not to pursue it. ”

These two pieces of information are revealed through public channels and can be known to the public. Many people have lamented that Saeki is righteous and has gone to the luck of the dog, and he can protect himself if such a big thing happens-he caused Prime Minister Nakasone to apologize at the press conference in person.

Moreover, it has also led to a recent wave of calls in the US media for a boycott of Japanese goods.

According to the analysis of the relevant top financial think tanks, after the "Plaza Accord" led to the appreciation of the yen, the export volume of Japanese goods to the United States could have been delayed by six to nine months before declining - that is, it should not have been until the second half of 1986 that the United States trade deficit with Japan narrowed.

Now it seems that a considerable number of Americans did not buy Japanese goods earlier and more actively, and the window period for the narrowing of the deficit may be advanced to about February 86.

(Even if the people boycott, the import is unlikely to shrink instantly, because the importers should buy the goods is lagging behind, many transpacific container ships can drive for two months, if the contract is just signed, the ship is shipped, and the United States boycotts, this batch of goods still has to be sold, and the importer cannot unconditionally break the contract.) ）

It is said that some people are unwilling to accept the hegemony of the United States, want to share the same hatred with Toshiba, and reflect on the position of being a puppet of the United States. But more people who eat melons are complaining that Toshiba has caused a big disaster, so that everyone can't make more American money.

……

Compared with the people who eat melons, the top insiders in the circle reacted much more chillingly.

Mina also heard the handling opinions from the official channel for the first time, when she was still in Afghanistan, she couldn't help but enter the country first and return to her hometown, and then make a long-distance call to question Gu Biao in Xiangjiang through an encrypted phone:

"Why did you let Saeki go to justice? Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches will kill him with one move, otherwise wouldn't it be waiting for him to bite back?"

For this question, Gu Biao comforted it like this: "When Schwartzman communicated with Toshiba before, Masayoshi Saeki did not personally intervene in business decisions, and according to my information, it was Sugiichiro Watari who refused to sell the top and most cutting-edge lithography machines and other equipment to Blackstone, and even the Tsmc behind Blackstone.

In this case, of course, we have to treat them differently, reflecting the gap in punishment: anyone who directly refuses Xiangjidian, Lao Tzu wants you to die. Anyone who does not directly reject Xiangjidian, even if the mistakes made in other fields are greater, can still give a way to live.

In this way, in the future, those who have their own handle is not clean and want to restrict Xiangjidian will be shocked and weighed - of course, there are few people who can know the details of this. At this level, there aren't many people worth beating. ”

Hearing him explain this, Mina didn't say anything more, just casually cared about a few words:

"Then be careful yourself, and don't be too arrogant. This kind of thing is all luck, shock is shock, and you must be careful to attract hatred. I'm probably not coming back until the Chinese New Year, and I've been busy here in Afghanistan lately. ”

Gu Biao also hung up the phone.

He was in the Bai Jia Dao Gu Garden in Xiangjiang and made this phone call to Mina.

It has been three to five days since Toshiba was sanctioned and secretly swallowed the bitter fruit of "selling the most cutting-edge lithography machine and other equipment to the Blackstone Fund".

And Gu Biao also rushed back to Xiangjiang immediately after Toshiba was forced to deliver the first batch of samples - it was finally time to digest the fruits of victory, and the most important thing for Gu Biao at the moment was to use these things as soon as possible.

Taoguang has been indulging in alcohol for so long, it's time to cheer up, it's time.

After sorting out his thoughts in the study and rubbing his temples, Gu Biao casually pressed the electric bell on the table.

More than ten seconds later, there was a sound of small and rapid high heels at the door, and then a young girl half-pushed and half-covered the door, leaned in, and bowed slightly to Gu Wei: "Mr. Gu, what are your orders?"

It turned out that this little girl was Li Youtong, who had just finished a few months of accelerated training in the secretary class and officially became Gu Biao's secretary a few days ago. She will be 18 years old after the New Year, since she no longer studies and has injured her nerve endings, facial paralysis and is unable to act, she naturally wants to find a clerical job to make a living.

Gu Biao took a sip of the teacup and asked, "What did you say to Mr. Zhang yesterday? Didn't I ask you to ask him to come?" ”

Gu Biao originally made an appointment with Zhang Zhongmou for a showdown today.

Li Xiaotong subconsciously glanced at the memo nervously: "Oh, he's stuck in traffic, and it's about 15 minutes away." I just called his car phone to make sure. ”

Gu Biao couldn't help but want to laugh: "You also remember this kind of temporary accident in the memo?"

Li Xiaotong put down the memo a little embarrassed and wiped it on her skirt: "No...... Actually, I don't remember, I just can't help but want to see it. ”

"Okay, it's none of your business, pour me a glass...... Green tea, plus whiskey, after a while, Mr. Zhang came and led him in directly. ”

Gu Biao originally wanted to say, "Give me a cup of whiskey and green tea", but he estimated that with the other party's unrefined state, he would probably pour a lot of wine and a little bit of tea, instead of a little wine and a big cup of tea as is customary like the bar/izakaya outside.

So, it can only be said the other way around.

Gu Biao just wanted to refresh himself.

Li Xiaotong quickly poured a cup of tea mixed with wine and came in.

After training the female secretary for more than ten minutes, Zhang Zhongmou, who was stuck in traffic, arrived, and Gu Biao's refreshing tea was almost finished.

"Have you seen all the prototypes of Toshiba?In terms of technical support, do you still need any cooperation?" Gu Biao was not polite to Zhang Zhongmou, he didn't get up, he asked directly with a wine glass, and his chin was raised to the sky.

Zhang Zhongmou has the ability, but at the moment, his temper and temperament are still a little yellow-skinned and white-hearted, and Gu Biao is not easy to talk to the other party.

Since he scolded Gu Biao many times on many occasions half a year ago for "not seeking progress" and "deceiving the land in the name of Xiangjidian", now Gu Biao certainly has to take care of a little bit of "villain's ambition".

This is in line with the personality, even if Zhang Zhongmou says bad things about Gu Biao behind his back, he is not afraid of leaking anything - because what he said is true.

Moreover, now that Xiangji has just been created, Zhang Zhongmou does not need to show how active "subjective initiative" he does at this stage, as long as the other party does things in a decent and transactional way, it is enough.

In the future, when the business is on the right track for a year or two, Zhang Zhongmou will gradually become a real patriot, and he really feels that he is Chinese, and it is not too late for Gu Xiao to change his methods to win him over.

Humanity cannot stand the test. It cannot be expected that a person who has studied, worked, and lived in the United States for 35 years is almost 55 years old, and suddenly returns to China for a year or two and directly considers himself a Chinese and thinks about the interests of the country everywhere.

"It's confirmed, and I have to replenish some goods. In addition, Toshiba's technical support personnel are required to provide some debugging data, and the requirements are here. Zhang Zhongmou had a little shame on his face, and handed a list directly to Gu Biao's desktop.

"Heh, you have to find me again? debugging data, you are also a CTO of Deyi, a huge signboard, you can't do this?

Gu Biao will not let the other party succeed too easily, and he always has to knock and knock to show the value of Gu's resources.

Zhang Zhongmou was really stunned for a moment, this time Toshiba softened too suddenly, which made Zhang Zhongmou overestimate Gu Biao's energy a little more, and always felt that Gu Biao asked me again to ask for this and that, it was also very easy, just like the beautiful father asked his son to ask for something, and the other party didn't dare not give it.

Of course, Gu Biao couldn't strengthen the other party's wrong impression, which would only make Zhang Zhongmou's awe of Gu Biao's resource coordination ability decrease.

You can give something, but you can't save the luck that "this thing is easy to get". The most important thing for His Majesty is this, the thing is done, and the luck is still suppressed, that is the emperor's mental technique.

"Original...... Didn't Saeki Masayoshi completely convince us and cooperate with us sincerely?" Zhang Zhongmou could only ask.

Gu Biao sneered: "Just kidding, how can people say that they are also the chairman of Toshiba, and the family business is bigger than me." If it weren't for Prime Minister Nakasone's secret mediation in order to ease US-Japan relations, you think it would be so easy?

You and your team have only a few months of time and energy, and the appearance of former business chief Peterson is a big deal of face? Do you think it doesn't cost you to ask a former American secretary to come forward and do things?"

Zhang Zhongmou was immediately speechless.

He also knows that in the past few months, his misunderstanding and attack on the major shareholders behind the scenes will now be liquidated. Gu Biao is just right about things and not about people, so he can be regarded as upright.

"Gu Dong, I know that I have some occasions and some words in the first half of the year. The main reason is that I didn't know that you played such a game of chess at that time, I had no eyes to say nonsense...... "Zhang Zhongmou still has a bit of the integrity of a science and engineering man, although he is 30 years older than Gu Ao, he still apologizes on the facts.

Gu Biao's words turned around: "That's not necessary, I opened the skylight and said something bright, I will definitely speculate on the land, and I will also develop the real estate." Is there anything wrong with planning a development zone with the signboard of Xiangjidian? Therefore, I will not accept your apology.

However, since this time the favor of the Peterson business director has also been trusted, and the Americans have also taken the initiative to find ways to poke Toshiba's handle, we cannot waste resources. Treasury Secretary Baker and Business Secretary Peterson have great expectations for our Xiangji to replace Japanese semiconductor process capacity after the yen continues to appreciate in the future. I want you to give me a real number, when will we be able to stop the US allies from buying expensive Japanese goods? We will help the Americans bring down the price!"

When Gu Biao said the last sentence, he inadvertently used Brother Bean's demeanor and tone, which was vivid.

It seems that he is not at all for himself.

Zhang Zhongmou was in high spirits: "If the debugging parameters and running-in are all on our own, you have to give it to me when the workshop is dust-free...... Three or four months. Of course, if I can get my technical support during debugging, I can shorten it by more than a month.

Strive to start trial flow after the end of next year and enter mass production before the second quarter. Of course, the first batch is just a cable adjustment for Motorola's latest generation 68000 CPU. ”

"For the good of the Americans...... I had to go to Mr. Peterson's again and sell my old face again. Gu Biao's face was helpless and compassionate.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
