Chapter 531: Making Friends
Lin Fan has never been a person with a small amount of energy, and Lin Fan can't say that those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die. The point is that in the business world, where connections and reputation are important, doing so will only be self-defeating.
But Lin Fan was still very curious, why did Wei Jun reject himself so decisively? In fact, Lin Fan did not expect that he would definitely succeed, but the way Wei Jun refused made Lin Fan very suspicious.
There is no doubt that Lin Fan's current status in the Chinese business circle, so even if ordinary people can't cooperate with Lin Fan, they will want to see each other in the future. It won't be so straightforward, but be tactful, so that both sides look good. But yesterday, Wei Jun's refusal was blunt, like a young man in his twenties who had just debuted.
However, Lin Fan still decided to accept the five percent of the shares that Wei Jun was willing to sell, without him, no matter how small the fly was, it would be meat. is still Lin Fan's sentence, Master Kong is a high-quality enterprise, and only investment will definitely not lose.
Wei Jun's road doesn't work, Lin Fan can only get shares through the Japanese Sanyo Foods Co., Ltd., but Lin Fan will not contact the Japanese directly, but wants to go through Son Masayoshi, and if you want to get on the line with Son Masayoshi, you have to find Ma Yun first, and now Ma Yun is a director of SoftBank.
Oh, and by the way, Standard Bank of South Africa, which is controlled by Lin Fan, is also a major shareholder of SoftBank.
"Old horse, where are you playing in the near future?"
"Play? Do you think anyone is as idle as you? ”
"There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor. ”
Ma Yun stretched his posture, now he is in Hong Kong for a meeting, his work is often flying all over the world, never staying in one place for more than half a month. Lin Fan's call came in time, just enough for him to relax his dizzy head.
"Say, I know that you have nothing to do but ascend to the Three Treasures Palace. ”
"You're not a director of SoftBank now, help me build a bridge, I want to see Son. ”
"What are you looking for him?"
"Let him come forward and help me buy a Japanese company that holds a stake in Huaxia. ”
Ma Yun nodded, "Don't worry, tonight at the latest, I will ask him to call you back." ”
After hanging up the phone, Daniel Zhang, Cai Chongxin and others all looked at Ma Yun curiously.
"Lin Fan's phone call is about to buy the company again. ”
Everyone sighed in unison, and Ma Yun couldn't help but say when he saw this, "We have to work harder, and strive to buy whatever company we want like Lin Fan as soon as possible." I believe that we will never be worse than him, Alibaba is the earliest enterprise involved in e-commerce in China, our starting point is very high, and the accumulation is also very rich, now it is just an opportunity to ......."
Well, if Lin Fan knew that one of his phone calls had become a means for Ma Yun to stimulate and encourage his subordinates, I am afraid that he could only helplessly praise Ma Yun for being a master of fooling people.
In the evening, Lin Fan did not receive a call from Son Zhengyi, but received a text message from him that he had already arrived in Yanjing and would come to visit him tomorrow.
Hearing that there is a shadow when visiting Lin Fan, this Sun Zhengyi will not be very polite first, and then refuse mercilessly, right?
The next day, the Mortal Club.
Well, mortal membership cards have become a means for Lin Fan to win over people, but in the business world, Lin Fan's membership cards are only issued to the founders of the company, not to the company's executives.
"Mr. Sun, thank you very much for coming from Japan. Fortunately, Lin Fan's English is good, and Son went to college in the United States, otherwise it would be difficult for the two to communicate.
"Mr. Lin is polite, I happened to be on a business trip in China, and it can only be said that it is called a coincidence. ”
Lin Fan immediately smiled, this Japanese who claimed that his grandson was his ancestor, and his attitude Lin Fan liked very much.
"Mr. Sun, no matter what, I have written down this love. ”
Son Zhengyi smiled in his heart, this is exactly his intention, and getting into a relationship with the world's richest man is definitely good for his development in China.
"Mr. Lin, I heard Ma Yun say that you intend to ask me to be a third party to acquire the shares of a certain company?"
"That's right, I intend to own Master Kong Food Manufacturing Company in Huaxia, and Sanyo Foods Co., Ltd. in Japan holds 32 percent of Master Kong's shares, and I want to get this share. ”
Son bowed his head while silently pondering the success rate of facilitating the deal. He knew very well that if the deal was really completed, the friendship would be handed over. If he says yes and can't finish it, no, he can't afford to make a bad impression on the other person before he even starts.
He was no stranger to Sanyo Foods, a giant food production group that had reached the second largest position in the Japanese instant noodle market, with branches in Japan, the United States, and Huaxia. In the 90s, Sanyo Foods entered the Chinese market, but because the instant noodles developed could not meet the taste of Chinese people, it withdrew in embarrassment three years later. Later, Sanyo Foods thought of joining forces with a Huaxia company to do this, and then there was a cooperation with Tingxin International Group.
One side of the technology, the other side of the capital, so there is Master Kong, who has the first market share in the instant noodle market. Of course not, this means that the huge Chinese market has been abandoned, and the key is that now Sanyo Foods does not have to pay for the actual operation but can sit back and enjoy dividends.
Are you sure to convince Sanyo? What bargaining chips do you have? Son is thinking and making a decision.
"If Mr. Sun can help me facilitate this, I am willing to pay Mr. Sun a million dollars. ”
Son Masayoshi said cautiously, "Does Mr. Lin have any requirements for the transaction price?"
"I knew it wouldn't be easy to get Sanyo Foods to trade shares, so I was okay with a premium of up to seven percent for Master Kong's current share price. ”
Son Masayoshi is making a very difficult choice, does he have a big face? Of course, he is indeed the number one person in the Japanese business circle, but only in the technology circle. In the real economy, his influence is not great, of course, there are naturally backers behind him, such as the Mitsui Foundation. But for Lin Fan's sake, is it worth using these relationships, and what can he gain by using these relationships?
Lin Fan said lightly again, "Mr. Sun, in fact, I am very curious about you personally, you are a very talented person, but you have not been given the status you deserve in Japan." Even if you only own 21 percent of the shares of your SoftBank Group, your status and wealth do not match your intelligence. I know that in Japan, a society where classes and conglomerates are prevalent, it is very difficult for ordinary people to come out on top. You have put in more effort than me, but you have not received as much as me, Mr. Sun, I think this is unfair to you. ”
This was Lin Fan's temporary idea, and it was only yesterday that he decided to train Li You to be his spokesperson in Europe, more precisely in the United Kingdom. And Tang Wanxin is his spokesman in Dubai in the Middle East. He is a partner with the Kendi family in Iceland, and in the United States with the Glazer family, the Kushner family, the Hearst family, why not have allies in Japan as well?
A glimmer of light flashed in the depths of Sun Zhengyi's eyes, but there was no expression on his face, "Mr. Lin, you are Ma Yun's friend, that is, my friend, I am willing to help you." ”
Lin Fan smiled, he understood what Sun Zhengyi meant, and he still had to wait until everything was done before talking about it, he liked Sun Zhengyi's attitude.
"Thank you, my friend. ”
