Chapter 36 Working with the Japanese?
"Fuhai City Entrepreneur Annual Meeting?" Lu Yang, who was busy with the mobile phone project, looked at the invitation sent by Zhao Tai, and was a little strange, "Old Zhao, what kind of meeting is this?" I'm still busy here, won't you just go? ”
Zhao Tai shook his head and said, "Boss, you must attend this annual meeting in person." ”
"Oh? Is there anything special about this year? Hearing Zhao Tai say this, Lu Yang was also interested.
Zhao Taidao: "The annual meeting of Fuhai entrepreneurs is organized by the Fuhai Chamber of Commerce, which is equivalent to the official annual meeting, and only large enterprises with more than 100 million yuan are eligible to participate. At the annual meeting, there will be representatives of companies from all walks of life, including giants with a net worth of one billion or ten billion. In recent years, the number of invitations to the annual meeting has expanded, and some multinational companies investing in Fuhai will also send representatives to participate. ”
Lu Yang was also a little surprised: "Multinational companies also participated? ”
"Well, many Taiwan-funded companies and Japanese-funded companies attach great importance to this annual meeting, and even many big projects are reached at the annual meeting." Zhao Tai said, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, he had only heard about these things, but he never thought that he would be qualified to participate in the annual meeting one day.
Lu Yang nodded: "If that's the case, it's really worth my participation." By the way, Lao Zhao, besides us, are there any other agricultural companies? ”
"That's not true, judging from the situation in previous years, no agricultural company has ever been invited, and our Tianxin planting company has set a precedent." Zhao Tai said proudly.
Before attending the annual meeting, Lu Yang changed his outfit. A set of custom-made suits cost Lu Yang more than 50,000 yuan.
Although he is worth hundreds of millions, Lu Yang is very ordinary in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so Zhao Tai can't see it, and he mentioned it several times, but Lu Yang didn't care.
But this time is different, Lu Yang is representing Tianxin Planting Company to participate in the annual meeting of entrepreneurs, no matter what, he has to pay attention to his image.
The annual meeting was held at the Fuhai Convention Center, and at around 10 o'clock, Lu Yang and Zhao Tai drove to the outside of the conference center, which was already lively.
"Hello two, please show me the invitation." A service staff came to Lu Yang and Zhao Tai and said politely.
Zhao Tai took out the invitation, the service staff read it, stretched out his hand and said, "Two of you, please!" ”
Following the service staff, the two walked into the conference center, and along the way, such a combination of them was not uncommon.
"It's all suits and leather shoes, and it looks formal." Lu Yang whispered.
Zhao Tai whispered: "That's it, this is organized by the Fuhai Municipal Government, can it not be official?" ”
Lu Yang pursed his lips: "I'm afraid that it's too official, and then there will be a lot of all kinds of speeches, all of which are nonsense......
Zhao Tai said in a low voice: "Boss, you can rest assured, if there is no benefit, those Japanese will come back?" Zhao Tai raised his head and gestured, and not far away, there were several people in suits.
"How do you know they're Japanese?" Lu Yangqi said, he took a look, and there seemed to be no difference between those people and others.
Zhao Tai snorted: "These are the heads of the Japanese Yichun Trading Company. ”
"Yichun Trading Company?" Lu Yang thought about it and didn't seem to have heard of it.
"It is a trading company in Japan, which is not small, and it has been very active in China over the years. Moreover, they are not only engaged in trade, but also other industries such as real estate, retail, and catering. By the way, boss, you may not know that Liu Jie's Meifu Supermarket was acquired by Yichun Trading Company not long ago. Zhao Tai said suddenly.
Lu Yang really didn't know the news.
"Acquired by the Japanese?" Lu Yang felt unhappy for a while, although he didn't have the intention of acquiring Meifu Supermarket, but thinking of his own approach, it seemed that he was doing a favor to the Japanese, Lu Yang was very uncomfortable.
Zhao Tai did not have such a strong reaction as him.
"Yes, otherwise Liu Jie would have the money to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages. However, I heard that Liu Jie still retains 30% of the shares. ”
"The Japanese picked up the bargain and bought 70% of the shares of Meifu Supermarket for 600 million yuan." The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more angry he became.
Zhao Taidao: "I'm not surprised by this. Yichun Trading Company was one of the first Japanese companies to enter China, and 70% of their profits over the years were provided by the Chinese market. China's economy is developing rapidly and the market is also large, and Japanese, American and European companies are eyeing this piece of fat. In the future, I am afraid that more foreign-funded enterprises will enter China. ”
"They can come if they want to, if they want to eat the Huaxia market, they also have a good tooth!"
At this time, Lu Yang thought of Tianxin Technology Company and his ongoing mobile phone project. There is no doubt that the biggest opponent of Tianxin Technology in the future is those multinational predators. As for many domestic companies, Lu Yang really doesn't pay attention to them.
For this annual meeting, the Fuhai Municipal Government has put a lot of effort into it, and there are staff services throughout the venue. Inside the convention center, a bonsai of flowers brings the breath of spring.
Lu Yang roughly counted that there were about 300 people attending the annual meeting in the entire conference center.
"These are all 100 million yuan enterprises in Fuhai?" Lu Yang secretly thought that there are really a lot of large enterprises in Fuhai City.
Zhao Tai was also a little excited: "Yes, basically all enterprises with a scale of more than 100 million yuan are here, except for state-owned enterprises." Boss, look at that, he is Zhu Guangzhi, the boss of Zhiyuan Real Estate. Zhiyuan Real Estate is the largest real estate group in southern Fujian, and many high-end villas in Fuhai City are developed by them. ”
Looking in the direction pointed by Zhao Tai, Lu Yang found Zhu Guangzhi. From a distance, Zhu Guangzhi looks forty years old, slightly thin, and seems to be very ordinary.
"Tsk, this Zhu Guangzhi is amazing, not only the richest man in southern Fujian, but also a figure with hands and eyes in the official face." When Zhao Tai talked about Zhu Guangzhi, his words were full of admiration, and he seemed to know a lot about his experience.
When it was almost 11 o'clock, the personnel basically entered and the annual meeting officially began.
"Lao Zhao, what do you say is the significance of this annual meeting?" Lu Yang and Zhao Tai were relatively backward, looking at the leaders on the stage speaking, Lu Yang was a little bored.
Zhao Tai whispered: "Boss, don't underestimate this annual meeting, the annual meeting itself provides a communication platform for everyone, and the status of those who can enter this platform should not be underestimated." In addition, some of the government's economic policies will be discussed at the annual meeting, which will be taken seriously by the Fuhai municipal government. On top of that, the annual meeting will also reveal some of the government's policy directions......"
"In this way, there are still a lot of benefits of this annual meeting." Lu Yang nodded.
Zhao Tai looked at him helplessly: "It's not a simple matter to be invited to the annual meeting, and the scale of 100 million yuan is just the first threshold." When I received the invitation, I couldn't believe it. So boss, you'd better be serious. ”
For this annual meeting, the opening speech is just a snack, and the main meal is followed by a cocktail party and discussion.
To Lu Yang's surprise, at the cocktail party, he saw Liu Jie, who had been lost for a long time.
After not seeing him for a few months, Lu Yang felt that Liu Jie seemed to be more than ten years old, and compared with the high-spirited shrewd businessman at the beginning, Liu Jie had a few more gray hairs in his temples, and his momentum was much weaker.
Seeing Lu Yang, Liu Jie's eyes showed resentment. He has been up and down in the business sea for more than ten years, how rich his experience is, when Sun Zhengming sued Meifu Supermarket, he figured out the joints and knew that it was Lu Yang who framed him behind his back. At that time, Liu Jie also looked for Lu Yang, but Lu Yang refused.
For people like Liu Jie, Lu Yang has revenge.
"Mr. Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you've made a fortune recently, and your business has gone to Japan?" Facing Liu Jie, Lu Yang's face was free, and he greeted him easily.
Liu Jie's face flashed with anger: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Lu, if you want to get rich, you will also get rich." However, ill-gotten gains are not advisable, and they will be ruined. ”
Lu Yang pretended not to know: "I have always paid attention to fairness and integrity in business, and I will neither be shoddy, nor treacherous, nor will I harm my partners, where do I get ill-gotten gains?" Mr. Liu, what you said really makes me uncomfortable. ”
Beside Liu Jie, a Japanese looked at Lu Yang with interest.
"This is Mr. Lu of Tianxin Planting Company, I am fortunate to be happy, and I am glad to meet him, and I am contemptible Nomura Masao."
After the Japanese greeted, he respectfully handed over the business card, Lu Yang's eyelids raised, and he took it with both hands. No matter how much you hate these Japanese, others treat each other politely, and Lu Yang can't be rude.
"It turned out to be the president of Yichun Trading Company, and I was fortunate to meet it." Lu Yang returned a business card and said lukewarmly.
Nomura had a smile on his face from beginning to end, but his smile always made Lu Yang feel hypocritical.
"Your company's watch last year really amazed everyone, especially your company's product Zhu Guo, which I will never forget."
Lu Yang smiled: "Yes, that's really our honor." ”
"Mr. Lu, I don't know if Yichun Trading Company can cooperate with your company?" Nomura said suddenly.
