Chapter 55: Encounter with Masatoshi Ito

It's more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Tang Bao and Nick took a taxi and came to Roger's manor.

"Mr. Tang, the boss is receiving guests, please go to the living room and wait for a while." A housekeeper-like figure, respectfully entertaining Tang Bao.

"Okay."

Tang Bao smiled lightly.

……

"Ha, Mr. Ito, even you, a busy man, have come to the United States?" Roger looked at the handsome man with black-rimmed glasses in front of him and said with a smile.

The founder of Ito-Yokado, Masatoshi Ito, flew thousands of miles from Japan to Dallas to visit him, and Roger was very surprised.

"Mr. Roger, you should understand my intentions when I come to visit. I would like to hear your opinion on the acquisition of the American Southern Company by the Ito-Yokado Group. With a few kind words, Mr. Ito turned to the point, eager to find out what Roger was thinking.

This.

Tang Bao suddenly appeared and wanted to buy the American Southern Company.

This disrupted Ito Masato's calculations, he didn't expect Tang Bao to be an unexpected factor, so when he learned that Tang Bao and the American Southern Company had reached an acquisition agreement, he was very passive and could only hastily use the "sky-high price" to temporarily disrupt the deal.

Mr. Ito was very familiar with these American shareholders and knew that these people, as long as they could make more money, would not care who they sold the company to.

So.

Masatoshi Ito directly offered $600 million, which disrupted Tang Bao's acquisition plan. Ito-Yokado also officially announced that it will initiate an acquisition deal for the American Southern Company.

"This ......"

Roger groaned, Ito-Yokado's offer was far more than Tang Bao's $410 million, and the other party also had successful experience in operating the "7-Eleven" brand, so it was more in line with his mind to sell the American Southern Company to Ito-Yokado.

But.

Roger didn't immediately take a stand.

Now, the situation has changed. Tang Bao and Ito Masajun both want to buy the American Southern Company, and Ito Masato, who has just made a sale, directly quoted 600 million US dollars, which is bound to win, and Tang Bao's attention to the American Southern Company can also be felt by him these days.

The Southern Corporation of the United States, which had been abandoned by investors, suddenly became a sweet tooth.

In this case.

How could Roger easily promise Ito Masatoshi anything, he cared about the inheritance of the "7-Eleven" brand, but he would never refuse to make more money.

"Mr. Ito, you have to understand that Tang, who is from China, is also very interested in the American Southern Company, and if it weren't for your involvement, maybe he would have taken over the company." Roger said.

"Whew...... Mr. Roger, the Southern Company was founded by your father and is the result of your family's efforts, and I am sure you don't want to see the '7-Eleven' brand fall into decline. We, the Ito-Yokado Group, have a wealth of experience in the industry, but the other party is a vampire who plays with capital. Masatoshi Ito grabbed Roger's key point and said with a smile.

Silent.

Roger didn't answer. He admits in his heart that since Ito-Yokado appeared, he is indeed a little excited, compared to Tang Bao, who knows nothing about the American Southern Company, Ito Masatoshi is much stronger, and he is more likely to succeed in carrying forward the "7-Eleven" brand.

But.

Feelings belong to feelings, and business is business. Roger couldn't have given up the "7-Eleven" brand just because it was created by his family.

"I alone say that the sale of the Southern Company in the United States will not be effective, and it must be approved by the majority of shareholders in order to be effective. I think it's the dollar that will impress them in the end! Ito-Yokado's sideways kick, Roger was expecting a fierce competition between Ito Masajun and Tang Baolai.

"Okay."

Masatoshi Ito is not angry, capital is profit-seeking, and the one with the highest price wins, which is fair and reasonable. What can be done with money is not a problem for Ito Masatoshi. Masatoshi Ito couldn't wait to fly in from Tokyo to visit Roger, not because he wanted to keep the price down, but because he got the news that Tang Bao and Roger were having a good conversation at the banquet, and he was worried that Tang Bao would get some support in the competition.

Fair competition, Masatoshi Ito is not afraid.

Since the moment he learned that Tang Bao had acquired the American Southern Company, there was already an additional piece of intelligence information about Tang Bao on his desk.

For Tang Bao's rapid rise on Wall Street, Ito Masatoshi admires him very much. Of course, what he admires is only the accurate vision of Tang Bao's capital operation, but when it comes to running a retail business, he doesn't think Tang Bao can compete with Ito-Yokado. He is confident that he can beat his opponent......

……

"Mr. Roger, please stay, you don't need to send each other."

Sitting in the living room and bored, Tang Bao happened to encounter this scene, a man in a suit bowed deeply to Roger, and the etiquette was very thoughtful.

"Japanese?"

Seeing this posture of bending over and bowing, Tang Bao's mind couldn't help but move, and he thought deeply, the Japanese who could visit Roger at this time were very likely to be the top executives of the Ito-Yokado Group.

"Don, I don't mind introducing you to a friend." Roger and Masatoshi Ito walked side by side towards Tang Bao.

"Mr. Roger."

Tang Bao stood up from his chair and said.

"This is the president of Ito-Yokado, Masatoshi Ito." Roger pointed to Masatoshi Ito beside him. Then he introduced Tang Bao's identity to Ito Masatoshi.

Masatoshi Ito, he is the owner of Ito-Yokado?

I didn't expect him to come to the United States.

Looking at the handsome old guy in front of him, Tang Bao was a little surprised, but his face did not show any different color.

"In a Chinese saying, what a hero is a teenager, and I admire Mr. Tang's achievements very much. When we meet for the first time, please take care of it. Masatoshi Ito bowed.

"Hello."

Tang Bao said with a smile.

The two are competitors to each other, and when they meet for the first time, the atmosphere is very peaceful, and there is no tension. After saying hello a little, there was no need for in-depth communication between the two sides, and Ito Masatoshi also left with interest.

Masatoshi Ito studied Tang Bao's information overnight and knew that Tang Bao was not a person who could be easily convinced, and he had no chance to let Tang Bao quit.

Both sides want to fight for the American South.

Then, in the end, you can only speak with strength!

"Mr. Roger, after meeting you, the purpose of my visit today has been achieved." Glancing at the figure of Masatoshi Ito who was in the distance, Tang Bao said with a smile.

The purpose of Ito Masato's visit to Roger is self-evident, but Roger introduced Ito Masato, a direct competitor, to Tang Bao to know, and the calculation is nothing more than to want the atmosphere between the two sides to be tense and compete more fiercely in the next competition, and Roger can also earn more.

Equally.

Tang Bao also saw a message from Roger's small actions, he had no inclination towards Tang Bao and Ito-Yokado, he hoped that the two sides would fight more fiercely, and whoever had the highest price would be sold to whom the Southern Company would sell. This is also half "good news", after all, Tang Bao is not directly out.

After chatting in Roger's manor for a while, Tang Bao casually found a reason and left. Next, he had a tough battle with Masatoshi Ito.
