Lu Jing walked out of the banquet hall on the 16th floor of Langham Place Hotel on Fifth Avenue, asked the waiter in English, and under his guidance, turned the corridor and entered the smoking area located not far from the banquet hall.
The smoking area is a long hallway area. The small table and chairs are placed at intervals of more than two meters. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows block out the chill of the early March night in New York, and the bustling streets of New York City come into view.
There were two or three smokers in the smoking area. Lu Jing found an unmanned wooden table and sat down, took out a cigarette case, took a Chinese one, lit a fire, and took a puff slowly. Thoughts slowly drifted away.
There are two reasons to see Andy Morgan: first, I don't want Jinghua Communications to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Dispel the idea of JPMorgan Chase earning this listing commission. After contacting Andy Morgan, it is possible to obtain a good personal relationship and obtain an understanding after rejecting J.P. Morgan. This is a priority.
Second, JPMorgan Chase adopts the attitude of "ignoring" and Hua's shorting in international crude oil futures, and he needs to touch the bottom of JPMorgan Chase. Meeting with Andy Morgan helps to understand the situation.
The difficulty in this matter is that he doesn't have the right person to introduce him to Andy Morgan. It would be very rude to go and greet Andy Morgan rashly, and you will be blacklisted.
Lu Jing smoked a cigarette, his mind spinning rapidly. One by one, the names floated and filtered in my mind. With Sam McCormick in the trap in the first place, he wouldn't trust the strangers at tonight's banquet right now.
"Perhaps, we can only wait for tonight's banquet to get in touch slowly. The contact of Jinghua Communication's listing can be delayed. Lu Jing sighed softly.
Lobbying for tonight. Progress has reached 80%. However, he hopes to be 100%. Only keep improving your work. Only by treating life can there be rich returns. People who are satisfied with 80 points. The achievement is also only 80 points.
"Hi, your cigarette smells special, can you give me one?"
Lu Jing came back to his senses and found a beautiful Western girl standing at the round table in front of him. Enchanting big eyes, a towering nose bridge, sexy red lips, a typical western appearance, exquisite makeup, and the beauty of a mature woman. It doesn't seem to be that old.
Long black hair with a shawl. Wearing a black suspender deep V evening dress. The fragrant shoulders are exposed, and the skin is delicate and supple. The deep cleavage was fully presented in front of Lu Jing when she bent down to sit down, and the soft black dress fabric covered the red tip, which was extremely charming.
Lu Jing's gaze did not linger too much on her magnificent white breasts, this person who was obviously also attending the banquet tonight, gently pushed the cigarette case and lighter to the girl in front of him.
"Thank you..."The glamorous girl skillfully lit a cigarette and smoked elegantly, pointing to Lu Jing's black dress. 3688 Avenue Montaigne, Paris, by fashion master Carey Ackermann in 2003. He hand-sewed a total of 3 men's winter clothes that winter. A Chinese lady is said to have paid $180,000 for one of the winter clothes. ”
Lu Jing was slightly stunned, he hadn't met the woman who could see the origin of the clothes he was wearing at a glance, and smiled. Curious, he asked, "How so?" ”
Most of his clothes were bought for him by Wanyi. Wanyi's channels for buying clothes are all introduced by friends. Basically, they are the handiwork of fashion masters, or tailors for the royal family.
"You have a K logo on the cuff of your dress, which is exclusive to Master Kerry Ackerman. I have the privilege of being a friend of Kyrie Ackerman. The glamorous girl said with a smile and a cigarette. That Chinese lady is your girlfriend? "The young man in front of me is quite young.
"My wife." Lu Jingdao.
"It's a pity...", the glamorous girl sighed elegantly, very standard etiquette.
Lu Jing was stunned again. "Why do you say that?" he asked. He had a strong curiosity about the sexy girl in front of him. But I didn't ask for the other person's name. When they meet in Pingshui, they are all guests from other places.
The corners of the beautiful girl's mouth curled, a smile with the flavor of Anne Hathaway, extinguished the cigarette, held the cheek and said, "Hasn't a woman ever complimented you on being sexy?" ”
Lu Jing couldn't smile bitterly when he heard it. In a foreign country, in a top five-star hotel in New York, he was actually evaluated as "sexy" by a beautiful woman. An internet sentence popped up in my head: What a hell this is.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm just judging from an artistic point of view. A man's sexiness is not in the face, but in the figure and the bearing of success. Your hips and legs are perfectly proportioned, and you can see that you exercise regularly. This makes your back and silhouette carry the quiet melancholy of a man, especially when you are contemplating, which has the taste of the vicissitudes of life. ”
Lu Jing pursed his lips speechlessly. Let's say it's a compliment, this is simply evaluating people as sculptures. It's despised, and what people say is praise. Well, forgive the lack of language skills of foreign babes.
is still the sentence that best describes Lu Jing's mood at the moment: what a slump this is.
The glamorous western girl smiled, "You're shy." Thank you for the cigarettes, it was nice. Just not quite to my taste. Good bye! ”
Lu Jing shook his head speechlessly at her back. A beautiful encounter, but it can only be summed up in the language of the Internet.
Picking up the interrupted train of thought again, Lu Jing thought for a while, and when he returned to the banquet hall, he thought of a possible solution.
…
…
In the banquet hall, looking at Lu Jing who was slowly walking towards Shuichi Takeshita, Xu Xue frowned lightly and asked, "Dong Chen, will Shuichi Takeshita agree to Lu Jing?" ”
Lu Jing had just come back from a cigarette and said that he would target the introducer on Shuichi Takeshita, the helmsman of the Asia-Pacific Foundation.
Chen Xujiang smiled with the wine glass and said lightly: "The probability of success is very high." Xu Xue, don't underestimate Lu Jing's lobbying ability. ”
Xu Xue is concerned and chaotic, obviously a little caught in love. Lu Jing has been lobbying all the way, and I don't know how many times he has been lobbying. Samsung's Lee Kun-hee has been successfully lobbied by him to cooperate with him.
…
…
"Mr. Takeshita. There's something I'd like to talk to you about. Lu Jing walked straight up to Shuichi Takeshita and raised his glass. Said with a smile.
Osamu Takeshita, who was having a good time with his new friend, smiled, "Oh? "I said to a few friends. He walked to the golden lattice window with Lu Jing, and said with a playful smile: "Mr. Lu, please speak." ”
After having a meal with Lu Jing at noon today, both he and Lu Jing should be clear: The current peaceful situation between the two sides is only temporary, and sooner or later there will be fierce competition with the Huahe Asia-Pacific consortium.
What does Lu Jing want to talk to him about now?
Lu Jing's smile was full of confidence, this is a little trick of lobbying, if you don't believe it yourself, how can you convince others? Said calmly:
"Mr. Takeshita, Jinghua mobile phone sold 93 million units worldwide in 04. However, only 53,000 units were sold in the Japanese market. This is double the 20,000 units in '02. But that's not enough. I hope to open up the Japanese consumer electronics market, I wonder if Mr. Takeshita is interested in cooperating with me? ”
Shuichi Takeshita's interest was immediately aroused by Lu Jing's words, and the smile on his face slowly faded. The entire electronics industry in Japan has its own unique industry ecology. Major electronics companies such as Toshiba, Sony, Rohm Semiconductor, NEC, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, etc. are basically Mitsui and Mitsubishi companies.
As an emerging industry in the 20th century, the electronics industry is an industry with concentrated wealth growth, and has the title of the third industrial revolution. Among them, consumer electronics is a large branch. And the Asia-Pacific consortium has very little influence in the electronics industry.
After thinking for a while, Shuichi Takeshita said slowly: "Mr. Lu, your idea is good. However, as a Chinese electronics brand, it is difficult for Jinghua mobile phone to open up in the Japanese consumer electronics market. In the minds of Japanese consumers, Chinese products mean cheap, quality and other consumption symbols. ”
Of course, Lu Jing knows the urine sex of the Japanese.
Japan's best products are kept for domestic use, followed by products sold in Europe and the United States, and again products are dumped in emerging markets such as China. Coupled with Japan's brilliant achievements in the electronics industry in the eighties of the last century. This qiē has created a strong sense of identity among Japanese consumers with domestic electronic brands.
Even the iPhone, which became popular all over the world, could not open up the Japanese market. Samsung's mobile phone conquered the world and became the second king after the era of smart phones, but it suffered a Waterloo in the Japanese market.
Regarding Shuichi Takeshita's evaluation of the impression that Chinese products leave on foreign consumers, Lu Jing is noncommittal. The change in the impression of domestic products to global consumers is the accumulation of bits and pieces. For example, today's home appliance industry. Who dares to say that Made in China is synonymous with low quality?
In the face of doubts, Lu Jing threw out his thoughts: "Mr. Takeshita, simply relying on traditional sales strategies to open the market will definitely not be effective. We need to transform our thinking. I want to build my own 3G network in Japan. ”
In the Japanese mobile phone market. Operators are absolutely dominant. Mobile phone manufacturers don't have the same advantage as other markets around the world.
After several years of hard work, Jinghua mobile phone has only sold 53,000 units so far. Think about it. Jinghua mobile phone entered the Japanese mobile phone market, and it was difficult to negotiate with mobile operators. Thus. Lu Jing has such a salary at the bottom of the kettle.
Shuichi Takeshita glanced at Lu Jing in surprise.
The pattern in Lu Jing's heart is very large. It is estimated that it will cost $5 billion to build a nationwide 3G network in Japan, which is more than just advertising. However, if Huaneng has a mobile operator with a certain user base in Japan, it will inevitably open up the Japanese consumer electronics market.
It's a big-budget operation. Not to mention whether it is successful or not, ordinary people simply do not have the courage to make such decisions.
He is now more and more sure that Lu Jing has decision-making power within Hehua. This way of thinking about problems and the pattern of doing things cannot deceive people.
"Mr. Lu is so confident that he will be able to open the Japanese market?" Shuichi Takeshita smiled elegantly, "Aside from the 3G technology authorization, license and other issues, or the key issue just now, the brand of Jinghua mobile phone is not easy to sell in the Japanese mobile phone market." Forcibly promoted with mobile operators, there is a high risk of failure. ”
Lu Jing took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "What if I agree to put up a Japanese brand?" ”
Shuichi Takeshita raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Lu Jing, and asked, "Mr. Lu, this is not conducive to the global brand strategy of Jinghua mobile phones, right?" ”
Brand is one of the core competitiveness of an enterprise.
Now how many European luxury brands are OEM in China, and sell for tens of thousands of dollars after OEM. With no shortage of technology and guaranteed product quality, why can't China's foundries give birth to world-class luxury goods?
One of the core factors is the brand operation of European luxury companies for hundreds of years. Its competitiveness can be seen.
Lu Jing smiled indifferently, and said confidently and slightly proudly: "Jinghua mobile phone does not need to use the praise of Japanese mobile phone consumers to prove its quality. We have a good reputation among consumers around the world. ”
The implication is: who cares if the Japanese admit it or not?
