Chapter Eighty-Three: A Woman Who Lost Her Mind
Liu Haibo was stunned, knowing that Ding Haoran had not yet dissipated from the incident of the last class reunion, and he stopped speaking at the moment, but just sat in his seat with his head bored. ββοΌ
"Okay, okay, they're all old classmates, now we're talking about business with little devils, don't we have to be united?" Zhang Yuntian hurriedly came out to play a round, "Haibo, what is the origin of this Keiko Fukada?" He was able to become the general manager of Huaguo Region! β
Liu Haibo thought that he would be left out in the cold, but seeing that Zhang Yuntian ignored his previous suspicions, he was moved in his heart, of course, he wanted to show himself well to prove that he was indeed on the same front as his old classmates, so he hurriedly explained: "It is said that this Keiko Fukada is the only daughter of the old chairman, inherited her father's shares, and became the largest shareholder!" But she failed to become the new chairman of the board because of the opposition of other members of the board of directors, not only that, but the other board members also joined forces to squeeze her out of the Japanese headquarters, in our words, she was assigned to China as the general manager! β
Zhang Yuntian said: "Did she make any mistakes?" Why is the board so resistant to her? β
Liu Haibo shook his head, "How can a grassroots employee like me know such a specific reason, it's just that I once overheard the conversation between the general manager of the branch and the coordinator sent by the headquarters, and when it comes to Keiko Fukada, she is quite disdainful, probably because she lacks management experience at a young age, and she is still a female stream, and recently she has promoted the position of female staff with great fanfare, which has caused dissatisfaction among many male managers, and even her direct subordinates feel that it is a very shameful thing to obey her management... β
Zhang Yuntian's face was full of surprise, Japanese men have a very strong machismo mentality, and what they don't like the most is that a woman is their top boss, but it is indeed a little unbelievable to dare to express such dissatisfaction with the largest shareholder.
Liu Haibo saw Zhang Yuntian's face full of questions. And said: "These are also hearsay, colleagues discuss when drinking, I don't know if it's true or not, I said it all when you asked, I hope it can help you... In addition..."He said mysteriously: "Keiko Fukada is definitely here for a purpose this time. It is said that this is an important layout related to her return to the Japanese headquarters! β
Zhang Yuntian smiled, "What can she do when she comes to me?" But it's just for the crystal mobile phone or holographic imaging technology to save Sony's electronics business, whose market share is in jeopardy! β
"Well..."Liu Haibo hesitated for a moment and said: "According to my experience, such a thing as a negotiation, especially an important negotiation that can change the fate of the company, Sony will never hand over the responsibility of a woman to take full responsibility, so what does she want to do this time, to be honest." I'm also confused, from the time we met until now, she has said almost nothing except to say hello to me! β
"Didn't say anything?" This was a big surprise to Zhang Yuntian, he thought that at the critical moment of the negotiation, Keiko Fukada would use Liu Haibo as a bargaining chip in exchange for more benefits, but from now it doesn't look like it, I really don't know what kind of medicine this woman sells in her gourd. What is the purpose of her trip, I am afraid that only she knows best.
Zhang Yuntian's curiosity about her was aroused at once. Inexplicably, he was looking forward to this negotiation and wanted to know what the layout of Keiko Fukada's return to the headquarters was.
Soon, Bentley followed Toyota to a Japanese-style Japanese restaurant, which was not a small faΓ§ade like other restaurants, but a large complex of buildings. The white plaque at the entrance has three bold kanji written on it: izakaya, and there is a pile of unknown Japanese characters next to it, and a few paper lanterns with the word sake written on them hang on the height, and the overall style is quite traditional Japanese.
The driver of the Toyota spoke to the young security guard in a Japanese kimono in the parking lot, who bowed respectfully. Then he led two cars and parked in the two most conspicuous parking spaces in front of the hotel.
Keiko Fukada got out of the car and said to Zhang Yuntian with a smile: "The owner of this izakaya is Japanese, and the staff are all highly trained Japanese students or students of the local Japanese department, so you can feel the same food and service as in Japan here!" It is also my favorite Japanese restaurant every time I come to Tianyang City! β
Zhang Yuntian made a gesture of please, and Keiko Fukada walked side by side in front of the waitress in a kimono, Liu Haibo and the translator walked behind.
The two drivers formed a stark contrast, the driver of the Toyota car sat in the car in a regular manner, and Ding Haoran was much freer, he went to a KFC across the street to order a package, connected to the wifi and began to enjoy a free and comfortable time.
Zhang Yuntian followed the waiter with small steps, walked through the main entrance lobby, and walked backwards into a courtyard, in the middle of which were several cherry trees full of brilliant pink flowers, and there were four sliding doors on each side of the open-air corridor on both sides, and from time to time there was noisy talking and laughter.
The waiter did not stop, and through the courtyard, there was a path paved with blue bricks, winding upwards, and at the foot of the mountain there were several independent cabins, faintly emerging from the back, a little white mist appeared from behind, and it seemed to be an open-air hot spring pool.
Several people followed the path all the way to a luxurious house on the top of the mountain, the ground of the living room is inlaid with a fish pond with a diameter of about two meters, in which all kinds of koi fish are raised to play in the water, and then there is a private room, Zhang Yuntian imitated the waiter's appearance, took off his shoes outside, and then stepped on the tatami mat and walked in.
The layout of the restaurant is very simple, with pale yellow and light green striped walls, a small square table in the middle, four small round cushions on each side, a huge glass door in the innermost part, and an open-air hot spring pool outside, which is steaming with waves of white mist.
A few people sat down, and Keiko Fukada said with a smile: "I am an old acquaintance with the owner of this store, this private room is the best view of the whole hotel, and the most difficult to book the location. β
"You're polite, it's my blessing to you, otherwise I wouldn't have known that there is such a Japanese restaurant in Tianyang City, it's really eye-opening!"
Anyway, Keiko Fukada is polite, and Zhang Yuntian is also polite, whoever is praised will lose the opportunity for this negotiation first, so it seems that both sides get along very well on the outside, but they have their own little abacus behind the scenes.
