Chapter 103: Acting!
In fact, it wasn't until Higashino shouted out the reserve price of one million that Matsumoto was finally convinced of the accuracy of this top-secret information about the nylon factory, although many circumstances had confirmed the content of the information, but he was still not completely relieved, until he heard the million offer, he did not settle down.
Because with his understanding of Downing, Downing is by no means a purposeless person, and every step he takes is planned and reasoned. In fact, he was also frightened by this million offer beforehand, thinking that this might be because Miwako's intelligence was not accurate enough, after all, this reserve price is too scary, under normal circumstances, let alone a nylon factory, even a cola factory is not worth the money.
Although Matsumoto had requested a large sum of dollars from the board of directors before the auction began, it did not mean that he believed that the reserve price was real, and that he was always prepared with a lot of money anyway, and even if he couldn't spend it, it wouldn't be a bad thing, at least it wouldn't be delayed. But when he heard this offer with his own ears, he relaxed instead, so he began to raise his cards very easily and confidently.
After seeing Matsumoto raise the card, Higashino's heart that had been hanging finally let go, because he did not participate in the preliminary preparations of this plan, and he was cautious by nature, so he always felt that the boss's trick was a bit too mysterious, although there was the previous Jerry incident and Jimmy's visit as the bottom, but if Matsumoto did not take the bait or the Mitsubishi board of directors did not support Matsumoto, then this plan would be completely ruined, especially after learning that this so-called top-secret information had been rotten on the street, Matsumoto almost gave up this plan, He applied to Tang Ning several times to change the auction order, but Tang Ning refused. But now, the boss is the boss, and this ability to predict is too strong. It seems that I can only give him the life of a lifetime of work!
In fact, what he didn't know was that Tang Ning was also worried about this, and he was not sure at all, after the implementation of this plan, Tang Ning found that in fact, this plan was too hasty, and there were too many flaws, and he really shouldn't rush to take action just because he wanted to take revenge on Mitsubishi, but no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to hold on in front of these subordinates. You have to maintain a sense of mystery and authority as a boss, otherwise how to control and subdue the people under you. Fortunately, Mitsubishi finally got into the trap, and Tang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. I secretly reminded myself that I can't take such risks in the future, and I have to hurry up and do a good job of follow-up work and tie this set strongly.
The others present had not yet recovered from the shock of this ultra-high reserve price, and were immediately shocked by Matsumoto's sign. Especially Mitsubishi's old rivals Mitsui and Yasuda. Due to the direction of the industry, although Mitsui and Yasuda came to the auction today, they didn't want to buy any factory, they just wanted to make trouble for their old rivals, and by the way, they met the rookies in the business world in Tokyo. And if Mitsubishi doesn't follow up, then he will lose a lot.
In unobtrusive corners. Sakurai of the Osaka Division sneered, Sakurai has been doing business with his family since he was seven years old, and even if he joined the Osaka Army, his work has always been based on business, so he has been in the business world for more than 40 years now, and it can be said that he has seen all the means in the mall. When he first heard the so-called top-secret information about the new cooperation between the nylon factory and DuPont, he scoffed at it and absolutely did not believe it was true. Then after a careful investigation, he came to the conclusion that there was a good chance that this matter was a game, and although he was not 100% sure, he would definitely not jump.
Now seeing Matsumoto's arrogant appearance, Sakurai laughed secretly in his heart, there will be a time for you to cry in the future, but I won't break this matter, first, I don't have any evidence in my hand, and it's difficult to win people's trust based on speculation alone; Second, Mitsubishi has never looked down on the businessman from the Osaka Division, so why should he help him.
In the end, without competition, Mitsubishi won the ownership of the nylon factory and 50 percent of the quota at a high price of 1010000.
Although the auction is over, the whole transaction is not over, because the amount of money involved is too large, so no one can pay tens of millions of dollars on a single contract, and the full payment can only be obtained after the factory, technology, equipment and orders have been fully settled.
The delivery of the other four factories is naturally normal, only the delivery of the nylon factory is very slow, first, Tang Ning is a little weak and does not dare to rush too quickly; The second is that Matsumoto's temperament is not to see the rabbit and not to scatter the eagle, before getting the production secret, he can grind for a day, and pay a part less if he can.
Fortunately, Downing has already prepared a backhand, that is, his former boss, the wolf of Hollywood, Jimmy Dupont, this time Jimmy is definitely interesting, after receiving Downing's telegram, he immediately rushed over by plane, and brought five white-collar guys who looked like senior workplace white-collar workers to fill the scene, at first glance it really looked like an inspection group.
What is particularly rare is that this time Jimmy was not in a hurry to have fun, but took these five so-called inspection teams to inspect the nylon factory in Tokyo one by one, and the meticulousness of the inspection can be called perverted, and a lot of faults were singled.
But the strange thing is that the more Jimmy does this, the more relieved Matsumoto feels, because it involves such a large cooperation project, it would be illogical if DuPont did not investigate in detail, as for why Jimmy, a playboy, led the team, it is easy to understand, is he a good friend with Downing.
What prompted Matsumoto's final decision was a quarrel between Jimmy and Downing.
On this day, it happened to be Tanaka Taiki who was responsible for patrolling the factory, and it was said that the area of the boss's office was not in charge of the security team, but on this day, the escort team was sent to coordinate because there was a disturbance in the ZIPPO fire engine factory, so the security team was temporarily responsible for patrolling this area, which made Tanaka extremely excited, because it meant that he finally had the opportunity to touch the core area to get information, although the last intelligence was extremely important, but the person in charge of transportation was not him, So his merits have not yet reached the exit criteria, so he is now in dire need of an important piece of information to bring his espionage work to a close.
Coincidentally, he had just patrolled to the vicinity of his boss's office when he heard a crackling sound and an American yelling in anger: "Tony, are you crazy?" How can you sell a nylon factory to the Japanese? How do you let us continue to work together? (To be continued......)
