Chen Kangjie and the Swarzenegger family chatted for a while before they planned to say goodbye and separate, and when they wanted to pay, Ouyang Zhenhua called the waiter to pay for the Swarzenegger family. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
"Haha, Mr. Ouyang, thank you, I appreciate your kindness, I'll invite you this time, Vettel, go and waive the fee for Mr. Ouyang's table", Swarzenegger laughed heartily.
At this time, Chen Kangjie carefully saw that the waiter in a white "sè" shirt standing in front of him was wearing a sign on the mouth of the "xiōng", which indicated that his position was the store manager, and his name was Weiter, and Chen Kangjie thought that Swarzenegger was calling a waiter at first.
"What's so embarrassing about this? Let's invite?" Of course, Ouyang Zhenhua couldn't let Swarzenegger, who was meeting for the first time, invite his guests.
"It's okay, when I go to Hong Kong in the future, you can just invite me," Swarzenegger said with a smile, waving his hand.
"Brother Ouyang, don't fight, let him invite, you can't fight", Chen Kangjie said thoughtfully.
"Xiaojie...... This ......", Ouyang Zhenhua didn't know why Chen Kangjie did that.
"If I'm not mistaken, the husband and wife are the owners of this shop, can you fight it?" said Chen Kangjie, turning his head to look at Swarzenegger "fù" inquiringly.
"Hehe, long, how did you know that we opened this shop?", Maria smiled at Chen Kangjie.
"What does it mean that your husband can call the name of the waiter, and he is still a store manager? Also, Mr. Swarzenegger is saying that he will waive the order, not that he will pay, basically only the boss will talk like that," Chen Kangjie said.
There is another argument that Chen Kangjie did not say, and he can't say, that is, he knew that Swarzenegger "fù" opened a restaurant in Los Angeles before he was reborn, but he didn't know that the restaurant was called Schatzionmain.
"Really smart and sensitive", Maria's praise of Chen Kangjie can be regarded as admitting Chen Kangjie's guess in disguise.
"Since this is the case, then we will not fight, welcome your family to Hong Kong as a guest, and I will invite you to eat authentic Chinese food when the time comes", knowing the details, Ouyang Zhenhua had no choice but to retreat.
"That's good, Chinese food is really rich and delicious, there's a Chinatown in Los Angeles, we go there occasionally", Maria seems to be much more interested in food than a stout Swarzenegger.
"Those are basically inauthentic, and besides, Chinatown represents only a small part of Chinese cuisine," Mr. Chan said.
This is one thing, and the second is that in Los Angeles' Chinatown, Hong Kong people and people from eastern Guangdong Province are the majority, at least southerners, so in terms of taste and cuisine, it is also southern, Cantonese cuisine, which of course can only represent a part of Chinese cuisine.
"If you want to say so, then I must travel to the mainland, not to mention the history and culture, the food alone is worth a trip", said Mary, who seemed to be about to salivate.
Thanks to the Swarzenegger family for their treat, Chen Kangjie and they left each other's contact information, it was time to say goodbye, Swarzenegger and Maria sent Chen Kangjie and them to the restaurant "mén", on the occasion of parting, Swarzenegger invited Chen Kangjie to his villa as a guest, Chen Kangjie accepted, promised to visit their home before leaving Los Angeles, and joked that he would bring a notebook to ask for autographs.
Leaving from the Schatzionmain restaurant, Chen Kangjie and the others, including Fan Wenxuan, all took a half-day holiday, whether they were willing or unwilling, the jet lag was not all reversed, and it still gave people a feeling of drowsy sleep, so they all chose to go back to the villa to rest, rather than visiting those scenic spots.
Of course, Li Li didn't have this problem, and now that the tricky difficulties were already on the "jiāo", she rarely relaxed for a while, so she really went to Sunset Avenue alone to wander around, and bought two old records of Lennon at two video stores on the way.
Of course, for the first time to know Chen Kangjie's English name, whether it is Ouyang Zhenhua or Fan Wenxuan, they are still hearing it for the first time, and it is not easy to ask in front of outsiders, and it was only in the car back that Chen Kangjie explained. If you want to play the entertainment industry, you must have a loud and easy-to-remember English name, and he thinks this name is very meaningful, so he thought about it for a few days and finally decided on this name.
Not long after Chen Kangjie and his team arrived in Los Angeles, Ooki Haruka, the vice president of Japan's sony, also arrived in Los Angeles one day apart.
Haruka Oki is not very old, only 38 years old, after graduating from Waseda University, he entered the University of Wisconsin in the United States, can speak fluent and authentic American English, and has been working at Sony since graduation, after more than ten years of personal struggle and family help, finally at the age of 38, he finally took up this key position at the age of 38.
It is not uncommon for a company to climb to such a high position at such a young age in Japan's relatively closed corporate internal structure, and seniority ranking is no less prevalent in Japan than in China. So here I have to talk about Haruka Ohki's father Ooki Hikaru (Hikaru Oki), Hikaru Ohki is 60 years old this year, is the CEO of Mitsui & Co., the core enterprise of the Mitsui chaebol, although he is not a member of the Mitsui family, but with his own efforts and nearly 40 years of saddle horseback, he finally won the trust of the Mitsui family and took the control of Mitsui & Co. In the February meeting of the decision-making body of the Mitsui chaebol, he has a high voice.
After World War II, there were three main companies in the February Society, Sakura Huā Bank, Mitsui & Co., and Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., although Toshiba Corporation had contributed a lot to the strengthening of the Mitsui Zaibatsu, but it was not able to enter the February Meeting, and Sony Company, like Toshiba and Toyota, was only a peripheral member of the Mitsui Zaibatsu. In order to stabilize the glory of the family and the strength of future generations, Hikaru Oki tried his best to cultivate Haruka Ohki, hoping that he would be able to replace him in the future and retain his status and voice in the Mitsui chaebol, so after Haruka Ohki graduated, he used his connections as much as possible to help him get promoted, and expected that at a certain time, he would bring him 'nòng' to Mitsui & Co., which would also be regarded as a complete instrument and lived up to his expectations.
The purpose of Da Mu Yao's visit to Los Angeles this time was the same as Chen Kangjie's, which was also to acquire Miramax Company, so he got off the plane and didn't have time to rest, so he rushed to Miramax Company non-stop, because the personnel of their Los Angeles office had already told him that the people from Hong Kong Feiyang Entertainment Company had gone to visit him a day earlier.
"Mr. Oki, tell you the truth, your bid of 850 million US dollars is the lowest among all the bidding companies, and it is not paid in cash, and I have some doubts about your sincerity," the Weinstein brothers invited Haruka Oki to the office of Big Weinstein alone, and said in a "mén" smile.
"Who else is bidding higher than us?", Haruka Oki sat in front of Weinstein Jr. and Weinstein Jr.
"Taller than you," said Weinstein stiffly.
"I can add as much as they bid, and as for the payment method, we can also negotiate, according to our sony's strength and reputation, it is your best choice, and we can develop Miramax Company strongly."
Weinstein Jr. glanced at his brother, and Weinstein Jr. said in place of his brother, "The highest bid so far has reached $1.1 billion in cash, Mr. Oki should know that cash in his hand is the real deal, and if you can also reach this price, then from the reputation and our same values and good relations between the two countries, we will undoubtedly choose you, and we can sign an agreement immediately."
"$1.1 billion in cash?hehe, Mr. Weinstein, is this true?", Haruka Oki chuckled.
"It's true, in Hollywood, we are the only ones who want to sell and are more suitable film companies, and everything is possible," Weinstein said with a serious nod despite Haruka Ohki's chuckle.
After Big Weinstein finished speaking, he took out three cigars from the wooden box, and handed one to Da Mu Haruka, but Da Mu Yao waved his hand and did not accept it, he didn't like the strong taste of cigars, only his brother accepted it, and the two lit it without scruples and began to swallow the clouds.
"If it's $1.1 billion in equity swaps, then we can accept it, but if it's cash, IMHO, who would take that much cash to make 'jiāo' easy?".
The reason why Haruka Oki can accept the price of $1.1 billion is due to Chen Kangjie, and it is he who has increased the economic crisis in Japan and made powerful Japanese companies eager to go out and get rid of the difficult domestic market. However, he couldn't come up with so much cash, and it was also because of this long-lasting and profound economic shock that almost all of their cash was eaten. After the collapse of a large number of real estate companies, the banking industry suffered heavy losses, so the current Sakura "huā" bank is also having a hard time.
In Japan's external expansion, there is basically such an order, the banks are current, and the production and operation of "xìng" enterprises follow up, because the funds are basically in the banks, without the support of the banks, even the affiliated enterprises of the four major chaebols will be struggling, which is why there is basically a large bank as the backbone of Japan's big chaebols.
Now that Sakura "huā" bank has accumulated a huge amount of bad debts, where is there still how much money to support the overseas expansion of many enterprises in the chaebol, even if it is to be supported, it will be a key distinction, for example, Toyota will be easier when expanding manufacturing enterprises abroad, and the huge manufacturing base has always been pursued by Japan's major chaebols.
"Mr. Oki, let's open the skylight and say something bright, according to the current economic situation in Japan, no matter which way of replacement, it is not the most ideal choice for us, because it may shrink tomorrow than today, so cash is the key", since it is already known that Ouyang Zhenhua will choose to pay in cash, then the Weinstein brothers will not retreat to choose other ways, in order to put pressure on Da Mu Haruka, Da Weinstein is directly open and honest.
Big Weinstein's words made Haruka Oki a little silent, he understood that what people said was the truth and could not be argued.
"To compensate for this, we can raise the price to the maximum of $1.2 billion," said Haruka Oki cautiously after a while.
"Mr. Ohki, this is clearly not enough," said Weinstein Sr., sitting in his chair and shaking his hand with a cigar in his hand.
