Chapter 72: Mutual Pit
Xiao Zhenlei quietly listened to Mitsui Shou's words, he didn't interrupt or interject halfway, although he expected the purpose of the two of them coming here in advance, but knowing that they said it in person, he laughed in his heart.
This is your automatic bait, I didn't force you to get in by yourself, Xiao Zhenlei muttered in his heart, nodded expressionlessly, and asked, "So what?" ”
Mitsui Shou stood up and bowed and saluted: "Please Xiao Jun hand over this order to me and Suzuki-kun to do, we will definitely not let you suffer and be disappointed!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei took the cigar box and opened it and made a gesture, Mitsui Shou and Suzuki said thank you at the same time, took one in turn, cut off the head and lit it, and the three of them began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.
Xiao Zhenlei took two sips and said: "Mr. Mitsui and Mr. Suzuki, I have learned about your two foreign companies, in terms of strength, if you two foreign companies really join forces, you will indeed have the ability to take this order, but why should I give you this order?" How can you be sure that the industrial production machine you got me is the most advanced today? ”
This time, Suzuki Jiro took over the topic and said: "Mr. Xiao, I dare to guarantee with my personality that other foreign companies will never sell you the most advanced machines in their own country, because they want to keep their country in the leading position in the world with those most advanced machines, but we can sell you the most advanced machines in our country, because compared with their own machines, our machines are slightly inferior in the advanced process of science and technology, but they are more advanced than what they can sell you!" They are worried about technical leaks, and we are not worried about technical leaks. In addition, we are here with great sincerity, which is a little meaning for me and Mitsui-kun! As he spoke, he took out two checks from his pocket, put them on the table, and pushed them over.
One is 200,000, two are 400,000, yen! Xiao Zhenlei looked at the two checks on the table and was a little dumbfounded, and said in his heart, which one of these two Oriental devils are singing? In order to get an order, they even figured out this way to buy me? I rub, are these two guys' brains funny? I'm the boss, will I take bribes from others to trick myself?
He was extremely angry in his heart, and just wanted to get up and blast the two out, but Xiao Zhenlei quickly changed his mind, he thought to himself that since these two Oriental devils sent him money to use, why didn't he put it away? For this kind of Oriental devil who wants to make benefits in China, he can pit a handful, and he must be ruthless.
Xiao Zhenlei also sent people to inquire about Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro before this, they both came to Shanghai for a short time, and they didn't know much about the situation here, most of the people they dealt with were Qing court officials, obviously they treated him as a Qing court official, and wanted to use money to buy him, but they forgot that he was not an official of the Qing court, but a private boss, how could he take other people's money to pit himself?
Xiao Zhenlei turned in his mind, and soon had an idea, he shook his head with a smile and said: "I can't imagine that the sincerity of the two of you is so great, but I can't accept this money, you should know that we are different from other places, many things here are decided by our parents, that is, Ge County Order, if he doesn't agree with me to hand over the order to you, I can't help it, because I can't offend him, otherwise, my factory won't be able to open, and he can close my factory at any time with a word, You say, how can I give you the order? ”
Listening to Xiao Zhenlei's words, Suzuki and Mitsui Shou looked at each other and smiled, and Suzuki Jiro immediately said: "Mr. Xiao, you can rest assured, as long as you agree to give us the order, we will go to ask Mr. Miyamoto, the consul of the Japanese Empire in Shanghai, Mr. Miyamoto has a great relationship with our Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi & Co., with his support, you don't have to be afraid of Ge County's order at all, he doesn't dare to do anything to you!" If Mr. Xiao is willing, we can give you substantial support, and we Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi & Co. can invest in your Zhenhua company, so that the officials of the Qing State will be even more afraid to deal with you, and you can also use our channels to sell the machines produced in your factory, I think it will be very marketable."
Mitsui Shou also said to the side: "Yes, yes, Xiao Jun, if we have the Japanese Empire as your backing, no one will dare to do anything to you, with the support of our Japanese Empire, your company will soon grow and grow, and the business will become bigger and bigger, you just wait to count the money!" Let me give you a very successful example, do you know Yusheng Textile Factory? The owner of this textile factory is Cheng Yusheng, at the beginning of his workshop only a few textile machines, only three or two female workers, in just a few years to develop to hundreds of textile machines, into thousands of textile workers, this is inseparable from the support of our Japanese Empire, this year, cotton cloth, cotton yarn is not in demand, and Cheng Yusheng has purchased a large number of cotton as raw materials, but the production of cotton yarn is not wanted, a large number of hoarding in the warehouse can not be sold, if it is not for our Mitsui foreign company to help deal with a large number of words, His Yusheng textile factory closed down because of poor turnover! I heard that he still owes hundreds of female workers in the textile factory unpaid! ”
He didn't hear the previous words of Mitsui Shou, but it was the matter of Yusheng Textile Factory that made him pay attention, this factory was actually supported by the Japanese? Could it be that the Japanese have a stake in it?
Xiao Zhenlei smoked his cigar and thought for a while, did not move the two checks on the table, glanced at them and said slowly: "It's not impossible to give the order to the two of you, but this money is not enough, I still have one condition, if the two of you can agree to this condition, I will not only give you the first phase of the order, but also the next three orders to you, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”
Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro glanced at each other, and both saw the great joy in their eyes, and the two hurriedly asked in unison, "I don't know what other conditions Mr. Xiao has?" Please feel free to speak! ”
Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of his cigar and exhaled the smoke and asked, "Mr. Mitsui, I heard that you own eight percent of the shares of the Great Shanghai Electric Light Company?" ”
Mitsui Shou was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xiao!" Very few people know about my 8% stake in this company, how could Mr. Xiao know about it? Do you mean? ”
"That's right!" Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "I just want this eight percent of the equity, I have already found someone to calculate, with the current market value of the big Shanghai Electric Light Company, the value of the eight percent of the equity you occupy is less than 30,000 taels, this money is less than a fraction of the two checks on this table, I don't know if Mr. Mitsui is reluctant to part with love?" ”
"This ......" Mitsui Shou hesitated, he was not reluctant to pay this money, but the eight percent of the equity was held by him privately, and Mitsui had nothing to do with it, and he was very optimistic about the prospects of the electric light company, he thought that the popularity of electric light in the future will be higher and higher, there will be more and more families using electric light, to popularize it on a large scale, then the electric light company has a very large potential, so he is just reluctant to the eight percent of the shares.
Seeing this, Suzuki Jiro hurriedly reached out and pulled Mitsui Shou's suit swallowtail, signaling him to agree immediately, but Mitsui Shou always hesitated, and Suzuki Jiro could only say to Xiao Zhenlei: "Mr. Xiao, I need to communicate with Mr. Mitsui, can you give us a little time?" Ten minutes at most, is that okay? ”
Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "Of course you can!" Then he got up and went out.
I don't know how Jiro Suzuki persuaded Mitsui Shou, or what agreement was reached between the two of them, anyway, when Xiao Zhenlei came in again, Mitsui Shou finally agreed to transfer the eight percent of the equity to Xiao Zhenlei, but this was a gift, no money.
Of course, in order to prevent Xiao Zhenlei from changing his mind after receiving the money, Mitsui Shou proposed that he and Suzuki Jiro should first take back the two checks, but in order to show his sincerity, he could first transfer 8% of the equity of the electric light company to Xiao Zhenlei, Xiao Zhenlei agreed after thinking about it, and the three agreed to find a lawyer to sign the equity transfer agreement tomorrow.
