This time, the hotel where Du Xiaowei and Li Zhejun stayed was booked with Yamamoto's help.

A 5-star hotel located near the Shinkansen in Kyoto Ward.

Although it is not the most central part of the city, it is relatively easy to get around. Therefore, it became Yamamoto's first choice.

Originally, he wanted to arrange for them to live in his own home.

However, Lee Cheol-joon disagreed.

One is that he lives a little far from the city;

The second is that he is not very accustomed to the red tape of the Japanese.

The last time he came to Japan, he stayed at Yamamoto's house for one night. He and his wife were too humble to him, bowing on the left and bowing on the right, which made him feel very inconvenient.

So, he asked Yamamoto to book a hotel for them.

And, I specifically advised: "You must book two rooms." ”

He didn't want to sleep on the floor anymore.

When I arrived, it was exactly 12 noon. After arranging the room, Yamamoto invited the two of them downstairs to dinner.

Authentic Japanese cuisine with a delicious and sophisticated taste.

After eating, Yamamoto asked, "Do you want to rest first?" ”

Li Zhejun thought that Yamamoto wanted to take them out to play, so he asked Du Xiaowei's opinion.

Du Xiaowei said: "No, let's discuss the visit first." ”

So, the three of them went back to their hotel rooms together.

This time, Yamamoto contacted a total of five camera manufacturers: Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, and Ricoh.

These companies are all Fortune 500 companies in the world, and they are also the leaders of the world's camera manufacturing industry.

Yamamoto handed the details of these companies to Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei. These businesses are then briefly analyzed and illustrated.

He believes that these companies are world-class companies. For Dingxin company, they are all objects that can be cooperated.

However, it is not the same for them.

They are not short of funds, technology, and talents.

Therefore, it is not easy to convince them.

Among them, Nikon and Canon were only willing to meet them out of politeness.

Therefore, in fact, there are only three companies that are interested in talking to Tingxin Company.

And these three also have their own agents in China, but they are still blank in terms of camera manufacturing. Therefore, there are still opportunities for cooperation.

It's up to you to talk.

……

After listening to Yamamoto's introduction, Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei's expressions were more solemn.

However, I was mentally prepared when I came. No matter how difficult it is, you have to face it calmly.

There is a good saying: hard work does not necessarily lead to success; However, if you don't work hard, you won't succeed.

So he said, "Mr. Yamamoto, we already know the general situation. Now that you're here, you won't give up halfway. Regardless of the attitude of these five companies, we will do our best! ”

Yamamoto nodded: "Yes, courageous!" ”

Then he asked, "The headquarters of these companies are in the Kyoto area, so they are not very far away." I've arranged the itinerary for you according to the distance, I don't know when you're going to leave? ”

Li Zhejun thought about it for a moment and said, "Tomorrow morning." ”

Yamamoto said, "Okay, let's start with Nikon and Canon Corporation, right?" I'll get in touch with their president. ”

The two agreed.

The next morning, under the matchmaking of Ichiro Yamamoto.

Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei visited the presidents of Nikon and Canon successively.

Although they are both large companies, from top to bottom, these two companies are still very humble in their dealings with people. And because they are a small company from China, they are not slacking.

This left a deep impression on them.

What surprised them even more.

These two presidents, who are busy with affairs, deliberately pushed down a lot of important entertainment in order to receive them.

Politeness is politeness, though.

The two presidents only gave them more than ten minutes of interview time.

As Yamamoto reminded, they are very cautious about technology transfer. Therefore, the attitude is very cold. However, I am very interested in the marketing network of Dingxin Company and am willing to cooperate with them in this side.

However, he was politely rejected by Li Zhejun.

The more than ten minutes of interview passed quickly, and Du Xiaowei and Li Zhejun returned in vain.

Although the mood is a little low. However, this is all to be expected. So, I didn't feel discouraged.

After lunch at a restaurant, the two of them began their afternoon visit again.

This time, they visited Matsushita Electric Corporation.

The company's fame should be a household name in China.

They hope to be rewarded this time.

Sure enough, Panasonic agreed to their request. However, a very harsh condition was proposed.

That is, it is necessary to establish a joint venture with Tingxin Company. And, controlled by them.

This is tantamount to selling the company, and of course Li Zhejun will not agree.

It seems that the Japanese are more shrewd and more sinister than the Germans. Not only do they want to earn your money, they want to eat you. They know very well that while Ting Hsin is currently not in a position to threaten them in the short term. However, he is growing rapidly.

They are worried that after the company grows, it will compete with him for the market in China.

So, just buy you to prevent future troubles.

And, using this as a springboard, quickly occupy the Chinese market.

This approach is not only once and for all. And, in many ways.

It seems that this Panasonic company has a greater appetite than the previous two companies. Li Zhejun saw that he couldn't continue to talk, so he had to withdraw from Du Xiaowei.

Now, only Sony and Ricoh remain.

Seeing that the time was not early, they decided to continue the next day.

However, the results were equally disappointing.

These two companies also have the same idea as Panasonic. It is agreed to transfer technology, however, a joint venture led by them must be formed.

Independent operation is Li Zhejun's bottom line, so he refused without hesitation.

Coming out of Ricoh, the two of them stood on the street in the cold spring and felt an incomparable chill.

"It seems that we can only go home......"

Li Zhejun said with a windbreaker to block the wind for Du Xiaowei.

"It's okay, it's not like nothing this time." Du Xiaowei comforted.

Li Zhejun looked at her, his handsome face was full of love and helplessness. "Tell me, apart from the sinister behind the humility of the Japanese, what else have you gained?"

Du Xiaowei thought for a while and said: "It makes me realize more the importance of technology to a company. We need to be self-reliant. ”

Li Zhejun held her hand and nodded solemnly: "Yes, let's work together." ”

As he spoke, Yamamoto drove the car to them. Sticking out his head, he said, "Let's get in the car, although it failed." However, there is no need to be so sympathetic. ”

Du Xiaowei smiled at him: "We didn't fail, we just encountered a little setback." ”

Yamamoto agreed, got out of the car and opened the door for them.

Back at the hotel, Yamamoto asked Lee if he wanted to spend a few days in Japan.

Li Zhejun shook his head: "I'll leave in the afternoon!" ”

Originally, he had this plan and wanted to take Du Xiaowei to Mount Fuji to see the cherry blossoms. However, at this moment, he changed his mind.

Because of the current mood, it is really not suitable for enjoying the scenery.

Yamamoto was not reluctant, but said, "Then I'll send you!" ”

At the airport, Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei were about to say goodbye to Yamamoto. He suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "Wait a minute, I think we can think of a different way to deal with this matter......"

The two of them couldn't help but be stunned, turned around and asked, "What's the solution?" ”

Yamamoto thought quickly for a moment and said, "Change your perspective...... For example, you only need the technology to produce lenses and apertures...... For the rest, you can figure it out for yourselves. Such...... You don't have to go to these big companies...... What's more, you're now producing low-to-mid-range cameras. So, right

The requirements for lenses and aperture are also not very high. Some of Japan's largest optical research institutes are able to do these technologies. ”

When Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"yes, why didn't we think of that? That's great! Du Xiaowei immediately came to the spirit.

"Let's go, let's go back to the hotel!" Li Zhejun decisively lifted the luggage of the two.

……

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

With the help of Yamamoto Ichiro, they soon found a research institute in Kyoto called Yamada Optics Co., Ltd.

Due to this low-end lens and aperture processing technology, it has long been obsolete in Japan.

So, when I learned that the Chinese company was willing to spend a lot of money on their technology, I immediately agreed.

As a result, the two sides signed the relevant technology transfer agreement in the afternoon of the same day.

According to the agreement, Japan's Yamada Optics Co., Ltd. will complete the manufacturing technology of camera lenses and aperture to Tingxin Company within the next month.

It was also agreed to send a relevant technician to Tingxin Company to be responsible for the installation and commissioning of relevant equipment. Tingxin paid $1.2 million in technology transfer fees to Yamada Kokumi Co., Ltd.

It's a win-win collaboration.

So, after the contract was signed, both parties raised their glasses to celebrate......

Back at the hotel, Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei were relieved.

The company is finally out of trouble.

They thanked Yamamoto and hosted a banquet for him at the hotel.

Yamamoto said, "I am a member of Universal International, and I should work for the company. ”

However, he accepted the invitation of both of them.

After eating, it was already the beginning of the day.

Yamamoto asked when they would return home. Li Zhejun said: "Don't worry, we are in a good mood now and want to play here for a few days." ”

Yamamoto volunteered, "If you don't mind me being a light bulb, I'd like to be your guide." ”

Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei readily agreed.

The next morning, Yamamoto arrived at the hotel very early.

According to his arrangement, today he decided to take them to Mt. Fuji near Kyoto to see cherry blossoms, and by the way, let them experience Japan's "high-speed rail".

Du Xiaowei had heard about the Japanese Shinkansen when she was in junior high school, so she wanted to experience it as well.

Lee Cheol-jun is different.

The last time he came to Japan, he sat there a few times, and it felt average. However, he was happy to be able to travel with Du Xiaowei and sit on anything.

So, the three of them finished breakfast in the restaurant downstairs and got in the car and set off.
