Chapter 361: The Abominable Yankee
"Fang Jun, Vice President of Pingjing started preparing for this charity dinner a week ago, and it was also a bit hasty. If the preparation time can be longer, I believe that more Japanese business people will attend this dinner. Uda Zhong smiled slightly, "However, I have to admit that the appeal of Sony Corporation is not comparable to that of our Sega Corporation. In such a short period of time, there were still so many guests in attendance, alas......"
Fang Mingyuan understood a little in his heart, this charity dinner of Heijing Jiro was probably intended to show favor to himself! For those who know their identity, as long as they have a little heart, it is not difficult to find out that the property under the name of the Fang family has a considerable amount of donations in China every year, of which more than one-third of the share is given to disaster-stricken areas across the country. Just like the earthquake that occurred in Dayan City, Cainan Province, the industry under the name of the Fang family donated more than 30 million yuan in funds and materials on the surface. But in essence, its total value should be more than 45 million yuan. The materials donated by the Fang family have always been calculated according to the ex-factory price or purchase price of the materials, and there is a considerable gap between them and the market price due to the large quantity purchased. In addition, when calculating the value, the freight costs of these materials and the work expenses of the relevant departments of the Carrefour Group are also excluded. The reason for this is to keep the value of these supplies as low as possible so as not to cause unnecessary trouble if the amount is too large, and to help those affected as much as possible.
Heikei Jiro Hachisei saw something from this, and holding such a charity dinner can not only bring the relationship between the two parties closer, but also improve his reputation in Japanese society, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Since it is to raise funds for Dayan City, which was affected by the disaster in Cainan Province, China, then Wu Ninghua's appearance is justified!
However, if Heijingjiro knew that Wu Ninghua and Fang Mingyuan had just broken up unhappily a few days ago, I am afraid that his mood would not be so happy at this time!
At 8 o'clock in the evening, a charity dinner attended by more than 50 well-known figures from the Japanese business community officially kicked off in the KMON restaurant of the Imperial Hotel. Although it is said to be a dinner party, in addition to the pledge of funds on the spot, some Si people's items can also be auctioned, and all the proceeds from the auction are also included in the donation.
After the initiator Heikeijiro's short speech, Wu Ninghua stepped onto the podium.
As a Chinese bureaucrat, they can say official words, clichés, and nonsense that are extremely glamorous on the surface but are actually meaningless anytime and anywhere, that is their long-trained ability, and Wu Ninghua is naturally no exception! And while saying these words, Wu Ninghua still has time to be distracted and think about some questions!
Regarding the sudden enthusiasm of Heikei Jiro, Wu Ninghua was still a little flattered at first. After all, in any case, Heikei Jiro is still quite famous in Japan's business circles, and he does hold considerable power in Sony Corporation! Being able to get his "friendship" can be said to be what many people dream of!
Although Wu Ninghua has been an ambassador in Japan for a long time, and has many contacts with well-known figures in the Japanese industrial and commercial circles, most of them can only be said to be official contacts. Moreover, two days ago, he went to help Tanaka Jingye mediate, but the final result was that Tanaka Takaye still had to go to the United States! Although Tanaka Jingye didn't say anything after that, it can be seen that Tanaka Jingye is very dissatisfied with the results of his mediation, which makes Wu Ninghua's hatred for Fang Mingyuan even more!
Naturally, he didn't think about it, his attempt to suppress Fang Mingyuan with big hats such as "Sino-Japanese Friendship Overall Situation" attracted huge disgust, which led to Fang Mingyuan, who originally looked at the faces of Aso Kazuki, Miyamoto Oruichi and Uda Zhong, and planned to raise his hand, to refuse to give in. On the contrary, he thinks that Fang Mingyuan has no respect for the leader and does not know how to respect the leader, so he will lose his Wu Ninghua's face!
Fortunately, this charity dinner played an important role in enhancing his status in the eyes of the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and even the central leadership. As a vice-minister, and an ambassador to a developed country like Japan, it is very possible to go one step further and become a vice minister of foreign affairs, or even a minister!
"Thank you, Vice President of Pingjing, and thank you to all the people who can come to this ......scene in person in your busy schedule," Wu Ninghua was talking about Xingtou, when he suddenly noticed that in the corner of the banquet hall, there seemed to be some dispute, and his eyes couldn't help but glance over there a few more times, and he couldn't help but be stunned......
In the southeast corner of the banquet hall, near the window, where you can clearly see the beautiful scenery of the park outside the Imperial Hotel, Fang Mingyuan, Lin Lian, Uda Zhong and others are sitting here.
Of course, in Heijingjiro's original jihua, Fang Mingyuan's position was placed in the most prominent place, but fortunately, after passing through the scene at the gate of the hotel, Heijingjiro realized that his original arrangement was probably a fundamental mistake, so he temporarily transferred the location here. Although it is said that it is far from the podium, it is better that no one disturbs it, and there is a view from the window.
Lin Lian's position was originally in the front row, but since Fang Mingyuan was sitting here, she also took the initiative to move here.
But at this time, beside them, there was a young man with blond hair and white skin!
"Fast . Johnson. Mr. Alfred, I think the dinner will begin in earnest, will you go back to your seat? Your companions are still waiting for you. Lin Lian took a sip of red wine and pointed not far away.
Alfred turned his head to look over there and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's just a charity dinner, it doesn't matter where you sit." It's rare to meet you here......"
"Fast . Johnson. Mr. Alfred, please call me 'Lin'! Lin Lian's face was a little uncertain, and she interrupted him.
Alfred shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "We're already so familiar, Weishenme Lian, you're still so alienated from me all the time?" ”
"'Lin'! If the Faistre . Johnson. Mr. Alfred insisted, then please return to your seat! Lin Lian's face immediately sank, and she said coldly, "You are not welcome here!" ”
Alfred raised his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, Lin, you don't have to be so ruthless, right?" Besides, don't you ask for the advice of these two gentlemen? ”
Uda Zhong smiled and said nothing, this Fast. Johnson. Alfred is the president of the Japanese branch of the Chrysler Group, although the Chrysler Group is one of the three giants of the American automobile company, but in the past few years, the performance has been declining! But the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and his status as an American makes him the number one person in Japanese industry and commerce. Unexpectedly, Heikei Jiro even invited him to come.
Moreover, it is said that the family has a considerable stake not only in the Chrysler Group, but also in many large companies in the western United States, and has considerable influence. Therefore, if it is not necessary, Uda Zhong will naturally not provoke him. Today, North America is an important market for Sega Corporation. Besides, isn't there still Fang Mingyuan here?
Fang Mingyuan watched coldly, he could see that this kid was purely here to dig his own wall!
"Ms. Lin's opinion is my opinion!" Fang Mingyuan said unceremoniously.
“weishenme? I'm ...... America" Alfred asked depressedly, when he sat here, Lin Lian introduced him to Uda Zhong, but he was vague about Fang Mingyuan, and Alfred didn't take Fang Mingyuan seriously. Fang Cai only politely compared Uda Zhong and Fang Mingyuan. But he didn't expect that it was this inconspicuous young man who actually echoed Lin Lian's words in public, so that he couldn't get off the stage!
"Ladies first!" Fang Mingyuan blocked all Alfred's remaining words in a single sentence.
Only then did Alfred really pay attention to the young Chinese man sitting in front of him, he looked at Fang Mingyuan, and then at Lin Lian, who was sitting next to Fang Mingyuan, with an uncertain face, and suddenly a thought popped up in his heart - this kid shouldn't be his rival in love, right?
Alfred is Chinese New Year's Eve one year old today, which is the period of youth and strength, and being able to sit as the president of the Japanese branch of the Chrysler Group in the United States at this age also shows his own ability and background! He met Lin Lian by chance a month ago, and Lin Lian's face and temperament, which were full of oriental classical beauty, immediately made the child five years old Alfred obsessed.
In the time after that, Alfred used the company's intelligence collection department to collect all the information about Lin Lian, and the more he looked at it, the more he was surprised!
He didn't expect that this beauty, who looked like she was only about twenty years old, had always been obvious to Orientals in the eyes of Westerners, and she was actually a well-known figure in Japanese industry and commerce, holding a large amount of equity in many Japanese companies! Although these companies do not include Japan's large multinational conglomerates, or the leaders of various industries in Japan, the total amount is extremely impressive!
He also knew that Lin Lian was not the official owner of these shares, but an agent, but being able to take charge of such a huge asset also showed Lin Lian's ability!
If you say...... Be able to make friends with Lin Lian...... Even if you get her heart and make her your lover, then your market development work in Japan will undoubtedly be a big help! And more importantly, Lin Lian is a native of China, and if she can be so active in Japanese industry and commerce, her influence in China will undoubtedly be even more impressive! This is a driving force for the company to enter the Chinese market!
Alfred has been salivating for the company's president of East Asia for a long time!。
