There are four major consortia in Japan, namely Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Yasuda, and Sumitomo. om

Sumitomo is the oldest foundation in Japan, with a history of more than 400 years.

"I didn't expect Sumitomo, one of Japan's four major conglomerates, to want to cooperate with me."

Zhang Ning, who was on the way to the appointment, couldn't help but secretly say in his heart.

"Sure enough, wealth can be channeled."

At a time when the world is centered on the economy, interests can allow anyone to work with you.

Even if the Chinese are also disliked by the Japanese.

About half an hour later, Zhang Ning arrived at the Tokyo Bay Hotel.

This is a Sumitomo Foundation-owned hotel located in one of the busiest urban areas of Tokyo Bay.

It is said that the price of this hotel is frighteningly expensive, and the people who come and go to the hotel are either rich or expensive.

Zhang Ning looked all the way and entered the hotel.

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhang Ning?"

At this moment, a waiter came over.

"Yes."

"Hello, Miss Ling Zi is waiting for you inside, come with me."

Zhang Ning followed the waiter to a delicately decorated private room.

There was only one woman in her 20s in the private room, sitting at the table and reading a comic.

Seeing Zhang Ning coming, the woman turned around and smiled sweetly at Zhang Ning.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang Ning."

The woman spoke not Japanese, but Chinese, very standard Mandarin.

This made Zhang Ning a little surprised.

"My name is Sumitomo Lingzi."

"Miss Ling Zi, I really didn't expect your Chinese to be so good."

"I've always been interested in Chinese culture, just like now."

Sumitomo Lingzi flipped through the comic book in his hand, "This Qin Shi Mingyue is very interesting, although the drawing skills are not as good as the major Japanese comic masters." However, I don't think it will be possible to produce such wonderful manga in Japan in 100 years. ”

"Miss Ling Zi, what you said is wonderful, I'm afraid you don't mean this comic, but the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

Qin Shi Mingyue also tells the story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after the Qin State unified the world.

"Mr. Zhang Ning is really true, and it is precisely because of this that I am more interested in China."

Putting the comic book down, Sumitomo Lingzi slowly stretched out her hand, "Please be seated." ”

"Thank you."

Zhang Ning sat in front of Sumitomo Lingzi. However, after Zhang Ning sat down, Sumitomo Lingzi seemed to be very interested in Chinese culture, and then he and Zhang Ning continued to discuss about China and Chinese culture. Although Zhang Ning knew that this time Sumitomo Lingzi asked him, it was definitely not to talk about Chinese culture with him, but since Sumitomo Lingzi didn't say it, Zhang Ning didn't ask, and discussed it with Sumitomo Lingzi with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang Ning, what do you think of Japan?"

Halfway through the discussion, suddenly, Sumitomo Reiko asked.

"Japan is a very hard-working country, and in this regard, China is far inferior."

"I don't think so, it's true that Japan has hard work, but it's also the environment. It's just that there are too many things that restrict Japan's development, and now Japan may still be the world's economic power, or even the second largest in the world's economy, but I think that it will not take a few years for China to catch up with and surpass Japan. ”

"Where, even if China catches up with and surpasses Japan, it is too low per capita, and it is far from reaching the living standards of the Japanese people."

"Japan's standard of living seems to be high, but the potential danger is too great, and China's potential is endless."

"Not necessarily. China's potential is based on cheap labor and abundant resources, but in a few years, China's potential will be exhausted sooner or later, and it may not be Japan's opponent when the time comes. ”

"No, that can't happen."

"Who knows, more than ten years later, who can predict it?"

The two of you said a word, and they said good things about their respective countries.

"Okay, that's all for the topic just now, let's move on to another topic."

Sumitomo Lingzi didn't seem to have achieved her goal, and calmly turned the topic to the other side, "I heard that your business in Japan has been in some trouble recently. ”

"Miss Lingzi, where does this start, I don't feel at all that our business in Japan has encountered any trouble. If I do, I'm afraid, Miss Ling Zi won't be very interested in reading our comics now. ”

Zhang Ning pointed to the Qin Shi Mingyue on the table.

"Haha."

Sumitomo Lingzi chuckled, "I don't mean the present, but the future. I heard that Masayoshi Son will not cooperate with you again in the future, and I think that without Masayoshi Son cooperating with you, I am afraid that your business in Japan will never be able to be opened again. ”

"Miss Ling Zi, how did you know about this kind of news?"

Zhang Ningyilin, how did they know about this kind of thing?

Could it be that Sun Zhengyi's family is still talking nonsense with others with a big mouth?

Son is not such a man.

"I'm sorry, but our Sumitomo family used a little trick to find out. Moreover, not only do I know that Masayoshi Son may not cooperate with you in the future. I also know, Mr. Zhang Ning, that you penguins have probably reached a cooperation with Yahoo in the United States. Perhaps, the current Japanese Yahoo has also been sold to you penguins. It's just a pity for Masayoshi Son, he thought that Yahoo Japan had been in his hands, but he didn't know that the big boss behind the scenes had already been replaced by someone else. ”

Sumitomo Reiko said as she adjusted the coffee in her hand.

If such news were to be reported, it would shock the whole of Japan.

It's just that when it comes out of Sumitomo Lingzi's mouth, it seems like a very ordinary thing.

But that's it, although Sumitomo Lingzi said it calmly, he didn't know why, exuding an aura that couldn't fight back. It seems that in the eyes of others, Sumitomo Reiko in front of her, she is like a goddess. A qiē is all in her hands.

"I've met my opponent."

Zhang Ning didn't expect it.

A girl who looks like a vase on the outside is so powerful.

No wonder the Sumitomo family is one of the four major conglomerates in Japan, if nothing else, just one Sumitomo Lingzi is already so powerful.

However, Zhang Ning has not seen any scenes along the way.

Even if he knew that he had encountered a difficult opponent today, Zhang Ning did not have the slightest worry, on the contrary, after Sumitomo Lingzi finished speaking, Zhang Ning replied with a slight smile, "It seems that our penguin's business in Japan has been very clear by your family." Yes, Son did tell me that he would not work with me in the future. But that doesn't mean anything, he doesn't work with us, and in Japan, there are still people who work with us. Moreover, this other person, I'm afraid I can't wait anymore. ”

"Someone else?"

Sumitomo Reiko asked, "Who is this other person?" ”

"What do you say, Miss Lingzi?"

Zhang Ning didn't answer, but took out the business card that Sumitomo Lingzi had asked someone to bring before.

"Hahaha, hahaha."

Sumitomo was stunned for a moment, but just for a moment, she felt that something was wrong with her, and immediately laughed, "Zhang Ning, are you wrong, I asked you to come here for coffee, not to cooperate with you penguins." ”

"Oh, really?"

Zhang Ning didn't know if it was okay, "It's not to cooperate with us, does Miss Ling Zi think I'm handsome and want to chase after me?" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ning also put his face in front of Sumitomo Lingzi, almost touching the tip of Sumitomo Lingzi's nose, "Although I know that I am indeed very handsome, however, I will not marry a Japanese woman." ”
