Chapter 132: How do you know that you are full of anticipation and joy, but what you usher in is a thunderbolt from the sky
Ning Qian and Bai Tian made an appointment for a daily call: at night, before she went to bed, it was just when she got up in the morning. Aimee saw that the time was about the same, so he dialed Bai Bai's mobile phone: "Da Baibai, I really didn't expect that I would encounter so many questions, and today I was the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." ”
"Our industry is also facing similar problems, but I didn't expect you to encounter it too. Coriander baby, you have a meeting tomorrow and speak cautiously, listen more and talk less, if there is anything, call me at any time. Bai Tian thought that Aimee was in a small industry, and it would not be as crisis-ridden as the financial industry he was in, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Germany, he felt the swallow's nest on the curtain.
"Xiao Lun woke up, right? Ever missed your mother? "The most reluctant thing for Aimee is, of course, her baby son.
"He is very well-behaved, and he asks to sleep with his father every day these days. Last night Danny made an appointment to meet at the café in front of our house, and I let him sleep in his room, and he was very obedient and fell asleep listening to the story. While Bai Tian was talking, Xiao Lun was already knocking on the door and calling: "Dad, can I come in?" ”
Bai Tian opened the door and handed the phone to Xiao Lun: "Xiao Lun, my mother is asking if you are awake." ”
"Mom, I know you're going to call Dad every morning, so I'll get up. Mom, I miss you! Come back soon! Listening to Xiao Lun's voice, Ning Qian felt as if she had been away from home for a long, long time, and her heart ached.
"Baby, Mommy's home on Friday. Mom also wants to be a baby Lun! ”
"Mom, Dad said yesterday that he was going to a meeting with Uncle Danny in the evening, and I slept on my own. I still want to sleep with my dad tonight. ”
"Xiao Lun is a big baby, and he has been sleeping by himself, why do you want to sleep with his father now?" Aimee listened to her son's voice and couldn't wait to hold him in her arms.
"When I sleep with my dad, I don't miss my mom so much." That's a big truth, haha......
"I hope Uncle Danny doesn't ask Daddy out again." Xiao Lun stared at the day.
"Okay, I told Uncle Danny not to ask Dad out again, at least until Mom comes back." Daytime kissed Xiao Lun.
"Danny brought Ray and her agent over last night to meet and have a brief chat." Daylight said to Aimee casually.
"Okay, you and Xiao Lun go to breakfast." Aimee put down the phone with Daylight and tossed and turned: What will tomorrow's meeting be like? Is there another round of questions between countries?
On the morning of the second day, Aimee spoke on the stage as an advanced representative. The topic she shared was the mobile phone industry and the contrast with the toy industry.
Aimee has deeply realized that the emergence of smartphones requires people in the toy industry to re-examine themselves: mobile phones have changed from a high-end durable luxury product that just makes a phone call and buys a big brother to show off for a lifetime, to a way of entertainment that people never leave in their hands. Mobile phone companies sell mobile phones as toys, but we who make toys sell toys as handicrafts with turnips and greens, should we re-examine the efficiency of the entire industry?
As soon as her speech ended, the audience applauded thunderously. During the lunch break, she was once again surrounded by the crowd:
"Your analysis is ahead of its time, we haven't thought about it before."
"Your analogy between the attributes of mobile phones and toys is very interesting, and mobile phones are really becoming more and more of people's toys now."
"The comparison of the two category marketing methods you listed really breaks the boundaries of thinking."
…………
Cordula and Raum proudly said to the people around them, "Aimee, we found out. ”
Surrounded by words of praise, appreciative eyes, and warm encouragement.
After lunch, meetings were held on a country-by-country and German basis. China was first in line, and for a whole afternoon. Everyone said to Aimee: "You guys are doing well, it's important, the bosses have arranged so much time for you." ”
When Aimee walked into the conference room, eight executives from Wenbo's German headquarters were already sitting on both sides of the large conference table, and Aimee's seat was on the side facing the projector in front of him. In terms of momentum, it completely creates a state of eight-to-one interrogation. Aimee greeted them generously, and after sitting down, he was about to open the PPT report in the prescribed format, Mr. Fürst waved his hand and said: "Aimee, you don't have to report today, we have a decision here, and we will tell you." He gave him a look.
's expression began to become solemn: "Aimee, after repeated discussions with our management, we have decided that from now on, we will terminate our investment in the Chinese joint venture, and we will not have any more cash investment in the future." ”
Aimee almost suspected that she had misheard: the topic she had been communicating with over the past few months, including before she came to Germany, was how to increase her capital. This 180-degree turn is like a bolt from the blue!
Aimee remembered Bai Day's explanation: "Speak carefully, listen more and talk less", she did not immediately express her position, nor did she panic, but sat calmly, without saying a word, looking and looking at Mr. Fürst. They were also a little embarrassed to be looked at by Aimee like this, so they had to continue to explain:
"Global executives came to Germany for a meeting with us, and they have been forcing us to close all our stores in China for the past few years. We were reluctant at first, but they said that if we didn't end the retail business in China, they would end the cooperation with Wenbo Global. But the world's largest toy retailer, we have repeatedly weighed it, and we don't think we can lose all our business in other countries because of one Chinese market. "It turns out that the seven inches that the young question is looking for are here! Threaten to stop global business cooperation, starting from Wenbo, the major shareholder of the joint venture!
"We were already worried about the negotiation with the young people, and recently, the highest-level managers of our country convened a meeting with the bosses of representative enterprises that have invested in China, and issued the highest level of risk warning for investment in China. We certainly don't want to invest in the water, and I hope you understand. As he spoke, his eyes turned to Mr. Fürst and then to Aimee.
"Can I know what the risk is?" Aimee asked.
"Financial risk due to policy risk. I heard that your country is going bankrupt, and the next step is to forcibly confiscate our investment in China. The answer is really similar to what Aimee heard yesterday.
"You're threatening you and suppressing me, they're still so radical in China, do they believe it?"
"The companies participating in the conference should have invested in China for many years, right? Will they believe it? "Many foreign companies have been investing in China for more than ten years, or even twenty or thirty years, do all of them believe such a statement?
