Chapter 69: Hidetada Sato
Qianfan Group is very large, and it is not something that can be led by one person. Du Siyuan built a modern corporatized management very early, and he would not be unable to run because of the lack of him.
What's more, Du Siyuan is now sober, but he has not fully recovered, and he can make a major decision to command remotely.
When he heard Du Jiayi say that the ghosts were doing tricks in the time, Du Siyuan was not in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital. Du Siyuan is far more shrewd than Du Jiayi, and only in an appropriately relaxed environment can the black hand behind the scenes be able to reveal flaws.
Du Siyuan didn't mean to blame Hu Daoping, and he also liked Doudou, a poor child, very much. Because in the same hospital, Du Siyuan and Yang Guangya will also go to see Doudou when they are idle.
"Someone from SoftBank contacted us?"
Du Jiayi was still refreshing his Weibo, wanting to see how the news of Doudou's matching was going, but he was frightened by Shen Danyi's words.
"Didn't you say last time that Jiang Chao of Focus Media has a good relationship with the person in charge of SoftBank China, why did you make an appointment with us at this time?"
Shen Danyi shook his head: "I don't know very clearly, I didn't make it clear on the phone, I just said that I need to negotiate with the young master." As for what was discussed, it was not revealed over there. ”
The pen in Du Jiayi's hand turned twice around his fingertips, which was very interesting.
Last time, there was news that Jiang Chao was in contact with SoftBank, but for a long time, I didn't see any news from the capital that funds had been injected into Focus Media. Du Jiayi almost forgot that there was such a thing, but he didn't expect SoftBank to come and contact.
"We're not short of money now!" Du Jiayi said lightly.
In order to cope with Focus Media, which may receive an injection of capital, Yijia Media has used a large number of advertising contracts and rental property contracts to bring a lot of money like major banks, and now the company's liabilities are close to 100%. Every bank has indicators of loans and deposits, if you borrow money to buy a house, you have to ask others, but if you borrow tens of millions of dollars, people are begging you. Yijia Media has a monopoly in the field of building advertising in East China, and the company's future profitability is very obvious, and there is basically no risk in lending to such a company, and most banks rush to make loans.
It is precisely because of the cooperative relationship that Shen Danyi was able to put together the money in the shortest possible time in order to mobilize millions of cash, when these banks asked for help.
"Then I'm going to turn people back?" Shen Danyi asked.
Du Jiayi thought for a while: "Those who come are guests, it's better to meet them, and prepare a little." ”
"President Sato, why did Du Jiayi let us fly from the capital to the magic capital to see him, it's too shameless!" The translator said unhappily.
Hidetada Sato sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed, and did not respond to the translator's complaints. The translator closed his mouth a little embarrassed, and it was difficult to say anything more.
When the car stopped, Hidetada Sato suddenly opened his eyes and said in a very cold tone: "You are a translator, not the president, and it is not your turn to decide the tone and attitude you should have." ”
"If you interfere with the negotiations, you don't have to go back!"
After Sato finished speaking, he didn't look back and got out of the car, leaving only the translator alone in the wind. The translator knows very well what kind of person Sato is, and he is full of rules and regulations on weekdays, full of the immediacy of traditional island people. In his bones, Sato is arrogant and shrewd, otherwise how could he become the president of SoftBank China. The translator originally wanted to make some sycophants, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by his boss.
When Sato Hidetada entered Yijia Media, he was very indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he was constantly looking at the entire Yijia company. At the same time as Elite Media expanded, the entire office area was also expanded, and two floors of the building were leased. Yijia company is mostly female, and the entire office area can be seen everywhere in the girl's heartburst layout.
Du Jiayi has never paid attention to these little things, especially after Ai Jinmeng became a secretary, she often placed some small dolls in the office, and she was not surprised. Some are working on documents, others are working on advertising videos, and there are occasional whispered chats and discussions.
Hidetada Sato is deeply influenced by the traditional ideas of the island country, but he does not respect the working state of the island country. The suicide rate in the island country is very high, and it has a lot to do with the working state of veneers. Sato works in the Internet field and investment field, and is very familiar with Internet companies in Europe and the United States, and the relaxed and comfortable working environment is more conducive to creative work.
Although Du Jiayi does not have a European and American educational background, he seems to be very familiar with a set of European and American business management. Sato thought in his heart, and couldn't help but pay more attention to Du Jiayi.
Those family-run and traditional enterprises, no matter how high the operating income is, Sato can't look down on it. These enterprises are just occupying monopoly and policy loopholes, and after removing these, what remains is just an empty shell. In contrast, Sato is more appreciative of charismatic managers, who have a more or less captivating temperament.
This is looking up to Du Jiayi, Du Jiayi's relaxed style is just because he is unprofessional, and secondly, he is lazy.
Although Shen Danyi is very professional in management, his mother's character is destined to turn a blind eye when the heart of the office staff girl bursts. A small number of male employees don't have much say in this, so they don't have to think about it.
Du Jiayi is very unaccustomed to the rules of the island people, and when Sato Hidetada came in to say hello, Du Jiayi was very uncomfortable. According to the information I saw before the meeting, Hidetada Sato is also the president of SoftBank Greater China Co., Ltd. and is responsible for all of SoftBank's investments in the Greater China region.
Sato took office after the Internet cold wave three years ago and SoftBank's market value was discounted. During his tenure, both investment and activities were very low-key, but the operation of the entire Greater China region was very smooth, and the headquarters in the island country basically did not interfere in the management of the China region.
Sato is undoubtedly an important minister who is in danger, but he is not arrogant at all, which makes Du Jiayi can't help but be alert. I thought that SoftBank was just lining up a microphone to come over, but I didn't think it would be a big player who opened up its territory. It's just that this important minister is an extremely introverted person, if Du Jiayi doesn't take it seriously, he may be fooled away.
"It's quite disturbing to be offended!" The translator said respectfully.
After being warned by Hidetada Sato once, the translator immediately changed his contemptuous attitude.
"The people from the SoftBank Group were able to surprise us, and I wonder what guidance President Sato has?" What Du Jiayi hates the most is vanity and wrongdoing.
The long greetings and tai chi will make Du Jiayi look very stupid, and it is better to get straight to the point than to expose his self-cultivation to others.
Sato's dull eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
"President Du has a straightforward temper!" Sato smiled slightly.
"We are very optimistic about the market prospects of building advertising, and we have been in contact with Focus Media before. As a pioneer in this field in China, I think I should come and get in touch. ”
Sato's words, every word has a purpose. Although it superficially praised Yijia Media's pioneering work in building advertising, it was a faint threat when it came into contact with Focus Media.
Du Jiayi was not stimulated by Sato's words that were neither soft nor hard, but said very calmly: "Then what is President Sato's impression of our company?" ”
"Very energetic!" Sato praised, "Especially in terms of advertising content, it is very innovative. ”
At the beginning, in order to promote building advertisements, Yijia Media produced a large number of creative advertisements to achieve the greatest communication effect. In particular, Meizu's inspirational campaign has become a famous work of Yijia advertising and has touched countless people.
Listening to the praise of the devils in the island country, put it in the usual days, Du Jiayi has long been carried away. It's a pity that Sato is such a human being, and the pressure on Du Jiayi is greater.
Du Jiayi said with a smile: "President Sato has a heart, and he has studied our company's advertising?" ”
"It's not just the advertising, it's the flow of your money." Sato instantly put away his smile and said meaningfully, "In just one month, I have obtained a huge amount of cash through mortgages, and I have continuously hit the northern market. ”
There is a process for loans, and it is impossible for the bank to send the money right away. When the bank arrives at the account, Yijia Media will take it out to occupy the market, and basically will not stay in the hand. Rapid flow of funds, unless you are an in-house treasurer, no one can investigate the full size of the funds. Sato can only send someone to stare at the market expansion of Yijia Media before estimating an approximate amount of money.
"It seems that SoftBank is really interested in building advertising?"
"SoftBank has an interest in all emerging industries." Sato faintly showed the powerful momentum of SoftBank.
"We have reached an agreement with Focus Media to invest $20 million in them!"
Du Jiayi was surprised, he was already very careful, making people stare at Focus Media, but he didn't expect that people had already accepted a large amount of investment behind their backs. 20 million US dollars, which translates to nearly 100 million, is undoubtedly able to resist the speed of Yijia Media's market occupation for Focus Group.
Jiang Chao has deep relationships and resources in the advertising media circle, and now that he has received a large amount of investment, he will definitely not feel distressed when he burns money. Naturally, all the funds of Yijia Media will be more abundant, but after offsetting Focus Media's market share, it will become difficult to make a difference in the northern market.
Sato said slightly proudly: "Yijia Media is the strongest in this industry in terms of marketing, there is no doubt about it. ”
"So our advice to Mr. Jiang is to invest separately, set up different companies in different cities to seize the market, and when the time comes, these scattered companies will be regrouped."
"I guess your company didn't notice it, did you?"
