Chapter 384: The Head of the Sumitomo Group (Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The car was moving slowly.
Ji Cheng's phone call was connected, because he knew that Panasonic Zhengxing's Mandarin was limited, so he opened his mouth and said directly in English: "Dear Mr. Matsushita, I'm Ji Cheng, I haven't contacted you for a long time, how are you doing?" ”
Although it is night on the beautiful country's side, the time difference on the day is almost thirteen hours, and now it should be around ten o'clock in the morning, and the phone call at this point will not disturb others.
Matsushita Zhengxing's side was quieter, it should be in the office, he heard Ji Cheng's voice, and immediately said with a smile: "It's Ji Sang, it's been a long time, I've been fine lately, what about you?" ”
Hearing Ji Sang's name Ji Cheng sweat a little badly, he couldn't help but think of a sentence that is often circulated on the Internet in modern society, such as "A certain Sang, the cherry blossoms in his hometown have bloomed", he doesn't have much of a good impression of Xiao Riben, of course, he still recognizes Matsushita Masayuki, after all, this person has helped him several times.
"I've been in some trouble lately." Ji Chengdao.
Matsushita Masayuki was stunned for a moment, "Is it electrical appliances?" ”
His impression of Ji Cheng is still stuck in the last time he helped say good things on Modu TV.
Although in Ji Cheng's opinion, Matsushita Zhengxing did this to return the favor of saving the other party.
But in Matsushita Masayuki's view, just accepting a telephone interview and saying two words is nothing to repay the favor, naturally, he still wants to find a chance to return Ji Cheng's favor, after all, the stupid people attach great importance to the sense of favor, which is the legacy of the feudal martial arts law, and it is the result of the strict management of the law.
In China, it is sometimes seen that quarrels and even scuffles over trivial matters are caused by China's advanced legal concepts.
If there is a law that anyone who quarrels will be pulled out and shot regardless of whether they are justified or not, then everyone will be as worried about causing trouble to the other party as a stupid person.
Ordinary people will say, how can there be such a ridiculous law?
Eh, there really was such a law in the beginning of Riben, and it has been enforced for hundreds of years, which is called "noise and failure".
It probably means that "for the handling of quarrels, regardless of the merits, both sides are beheaded, and those who join the quarrel are both cut off for the same crime."
As for what "kindness must be repaid", it is not true, it can only be said that the stupid people have a sense of self-protection for those who do not trust, and they do not want to have too many entanglements to cause hidden dangers in the future.
Because of this, Matsushita Masayuki wanted to return the favor as soon as possible.
Even he once thought about spending money, but he was rejected by Ji Cheng at that time, and now when he heard that Ji Cheng was in trouble, Matsushita Masatsu was overjoyed, thinking that he finally had the opportunity to return this favor, and in his opinion, Ji Chengcheng is a wholesaler of household appliances, and the troubles encountered should also be within the scope of household appliances and easy to solve.
To Matsushita's surprise, Ji Cheng directly explained his intentions: "It's not a home appliance, it's something I want to trouble you to introduce Mitsubishi Group to me." ”
Matsushita Masayuki was a little stunned when he heard it, and thought that Ji Cheng had inadvertently offended the Mitsubishi Group, others didn't know how reluctant the Mitsubishi Group was, how could Matsushita Masayuki not know?
Although the largest company in modern society is Toyota, but now Mitsubishi is the first company in Japan, and the Mitsubishi family is also the first of the six major chaebols in Japan, and the wide range of industries involved is moving, such as banking, heavy industry, military industry, automobiles, oil, etc.
It can be said that the Mitsubishi Group can represent Nippon in a sense, or rather, the six major chaebols of Nippon.
Therefore, you can provoke anyone in Japan, but you can't provoke the six major chaebols.
Even the two people who sit alternately in modern society, Masayoshi Son and Masashi Yanai, who are the richest men in the world, are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Big Six.
Because of this, Masayita Masayuki was a little nervous after hearing that Ji Cheng was involved with the Mitsubishi Group, he really thought that Ji Cheng didn't know how to offend the people of the Mitsubishi Group, if that was the case, he didn't have the ability to settle it, unless...... The Sumitomo family, one of the six major chaebols behind the Panasonic Group, was invited to come forward to adjust.
"Tricky?" Masayita asked.
"It's a little tricky." Ji Cheng said truthfully: "I want to meet with them as soon as possible for an important negotiation, preferably within one to two days, Mr. Matsushita, okay?" ”
When Matsushita Masayuki heard that he was so anxious, and saw Ji Cheng's admitting that it was tricky, he felt that Ji Chengzhen had provoked Mitsubishi, but he really wanted to return the favor so much, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to settle this matter for you, you wait for me to respond." ”
Belch......
Settle this matter?
Ji Cheng was a little confused by what Masaya Masayuki said, and said in his heart, do you know that I won the Rockefeller Center? Do you want to negotiate with the Mitsubishi Group for me? He said in his heart that Panasonic Group is worthy of being a multinational large enterprise, and I just signed a contract with someone, and you got the news over there?
Ji Cheng didn't realize that there was a slight deviation in the conversation between himself and Matsushita Masayuki, but when he heard that the other party was willing to help, he immediately thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Matsushita, this matter is really too troublesome for you." ”
"It's okay, who made us friends." Panasonic is doing righteousness.
After a few words, I hung up the phone.
Ji Cheng sat in the car and went all the way home, he turned up the volume of his mobile phone to the maximum, and waited for Matsushita Masatsu's response at any time.
……
On the other side, the day is stupid.
Matsushita Masayuki's face was cloudy for a while after hanging up the phone with Ji Cheng, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then got up and left the company.
Panasonic is headquartered in Osaka.
It is also the home base of the Sumitomo family.
It didn't take long for Masayita Masayuki to come to the headquarters of the Sumitomo Group, because he is the prince of Panasonic, and Panasonic is one of the top 20 companies under the Sumitomo Group, even in front of the Sumitomo Group, he still has a lot of face.
After being informed, he was directly let in.
Matsushita Masatsu went all the way without delay and came to the chairman's office.
Dongdong, knocked on the door.
A majestic voice came from inside, "Please come in." ”
Matsushita Masayuki pushed open the door at this time, and when he walked in, he showed a respectful look, "President Horita." ”
The elderly man who was working on the documents at the desk raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head again and said, "Oh, it's right, what's the matter?" ”
Matsushita can walk sideways in Osaka, but he can't be disrespectful to the people of the Sumitomo family and the elderly man in front of him.
Needless to say, the Sumitomo family, the actual controller behind the Panasonic Group, borrowed a hundred courage from Matsushita, and he did not dare to be disrespectful.
Although the old man in front of him is not from the Sumitomo family, Masayita Masayuki is still respectful, and the reason for this is that this is Sozo Horita, the current nominal chief executive of the Sumitomo Group.
Yes, Sozo Horita is just a professional manager, and it stands to reason that Masayita Masayuki shouldn't be so respectful, but Sozo Horita has made great contributions to the Sumitomo family, and his status is now second only to the current head of the Sumitomo family.
The 40s and 50s were the most difficult period for the development of the Sumitomo Foundation, and in this environment, Sozo Horita became the general manager of Sumitomo Bank, the core enterprise of the Sumitomo Group.
Later, Sozo Horita used his own capabilities to make the Sumitomo Group even stronger, allowing Sumitomo Bank to surpass Daiichi Koyo, Mitsubishi Bank and Fuji Bank to become the second largest presence after Sanwa Bank.
During this period, Sozo Horita also became the chairman of the Sumitomo Group and became the supreme commander.
It can be said that without Sozo Horita, there would be no Sumitomo Group today.
In this case, not to mention Matsushita Masayuki, the prince, but in the stupid business world, no one will not respect the elderly man in front of him.
"Mr. Horita, I have some personal matters that I would like to ask to see Mr. Sumitomo, so I would like you to help me tell me."
Matsushita Masayuki said with a smile, his identity is not enough to see the patriarch of the Sumitomo family, unless he is under the leadership of his father, but Ji Cheng and him have a personal relationship, he can't move his father out, so he has to try it himself, can he ask the patriarch of the Sumitomo family to help say hello to Mitsubishi, after all, ordinary people are not enough.
Sozo Horita looked at him, "What do you want to see him?" ”
Matsushita Masayuki didn't dare to hide it, and told him about his friendship with Ji Cheng as it was, "...... It is quite possible that he offended a senior member of the Mitsubishi Group. ”
"Are you sure he didn't offend the core of the Mitsubishi family?" Sozo Horita asked again.
Matsushita Masayuki was a little unsure, "He didn't say the specific situation, and I can't be sure at once." ”
Sozo Horita pondered for a while, and then said: "It's not good to alarm Mr. Sumitomo about everything, so let's do it, you let him come to Japan, I will accompany him to Mitsubishi, the other party should be able to sell some face, if you really can't do it, let's talk about it." ”
Of course, Masayita Masayuki understands what this means, Horita Sozo has such a status in the Japanese Ben business, if he can't handle it, then he really has to ask the Sumitomo patriarch to come forward, and he may not be able to invite it at that time, after all, even Horita Sozo can't handle the matter must be a big deal, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the same qi and branches between the Nippon consortium, Ji Chengzhen is going to offend the Mitsubishi family ruthlessly, and the Sumitomo family may not be willing to help.
I hope Ji Cheng won't offend Mitsubishi too ruthlessly.
Matsushita Masayuki could only pray like this in his heart, but he replied, "Hi." ”
After saying that, he didn't dare to disturb Dorida's office anymore, so he took his resignation and left.
When he came outside, he immediately called Ji Cheng and asked him to come to Japan.
……
When Ji Cheng received the message, it was already past twelve o'clock at night, and he directly asked people to buy a plane ticket to Riben as soon as possible.
At this time, the benefits of the beautiful national green card are reflected, if he does not have a beautiful national green card, the visa alone is enough to drink a pot, but the beautiful national green card is conditionally visa-free to go to Japan, and can go out of the customs for 72 hours.
In other words, as long as Ji Cheng stays in Japan for no more than seventy-two hours, there is no problem.
Early the next morning, he took Steve with him. White and Sophia. Green flew straight to Riben.
When I arrived, it was about the next morning.
Not to mention, Panasonic is quite interesting, and he personally picked up the airport.
In the car.
Ji Cheng and Masatsushita sat in the Lexus car, as for Steve. White and Sophia. Green was placed in a different car.
The Japanese people have a strong sense of national honor, even if they are wealthy, they generally buy the Japanese Ben car.
There was also an elderly man in his sixties who Ji Cheng didn't know in the car.
"Ji Sang, please take care of us when we meet for the first time." The old man said politely.
The stupid people have first-class kung fu on the surface, and Ji Cheng didn't take it too seriously, he reached out and shook the other party, "Hello sir." ”
At this time, Matsushita Masayuki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and introduced Ji Cheng: "Ji San, this is Mr. Horita, chairman of the Sumitomo Group. ”
Ji Cheng thought that this old man was from the Panasonic Group at first, but he didn't expect it to be so big, of course he knew the status of the chairman of the Sumitomo Group, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Horita, I'm embarrassed to be slacking off just now." ”
"You're welcome." Soizo Horita said with a smile: "I heard Masayuki say that you have something to negotiate with the Mitsubishi family?" Who are you looking for in the Mitsubishi family? ”
He still spoke at a very high level, although Masayita Masayuki said that Ji Cheng might have offended the people of the Mitsubishi Group, but Horita Sozo did not directly ask what was going on, but asked who Ji Cheng wanted to see, and then judge how difficult it was.
Masayita Masayuki pricked up his ears, too.
Ji Chengke didn't know what they thought in their hearts, so he said with a smile: "It's best to meet the patriarch of the Mitsubishi family." ”
it!
Which core member of the Mitsubishi family did you offend and want to meet the other patriarch?
Matsushita Masayuki's heart was cold.
Horita Sozo couldn't help frowning, he also felt difficult when he heard Ji Cheng say this, and even, he wondered in his heart whether Ji Cheng should offend the heir of the Mitsubishi family, otherwise how could he ask to see the patriarch?
At this moment, he had no bottom in his heart, he knew that if Ji Chengzhen offended someone of this level, even if he came forward, he might not be able to eliminate the other party's anger, but since he promised Matsushita Masayuki, he would definitely have to go, and when the time came, he would understand what had happened, and then see if he would ask the patriarch of the Sumitomo family to come forward to say hello.
"The Great Luo of the Worlds"
If you can hold it, please ask the patriarch of Sumitomo, and if you can't hold it, there will be no way.
Horita Sozo thought about it and asked tentatively, "Are you looking for ...... Is there anything important about the Mitsubishi family patriarch? ”
Ji Cheng sighed, "I want to talk to him about some trade secrets, and if he thinks it's feasible, just help talk to Mitsubishi." ”
"Mitsubishi Place?" Matsushita Masayuki reacted, his face slightly happy, "You mean your real purpose is the Mitsubishi Place?" Not the Mitsubishi family? ”
Ji Cheng was a little dizzy by him, whether it was such a big thing as the acquisition of the Rockefeller Center, whether it was negotiated with Mitsubishi Land or not, would definitely have to be decided by the patriarch of the Mitsubishi family in the end, instead of wasting time with Mitsubishi Land, he might as well persuade the Mitsubishi family directly, after all, he could only stay for seventy-two hours.
But Masayita Masayuki didn't seem to have anything wrong with saying this, Ji Cheng thought for a while and said, "Well, Mitsubishi Place." ”
Matsushita Masayuki breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then the matter will be simple, Chairman Horita and I will directly accompany you to the Mitsubishi Land Office to ensure that the problem is solved." ”
Horita Sozo also laughed, "Don't dare to say anything else, the Mitsubishi Ground Office more or less still wants to give me Horita Zhuangsan's face." ”
Ji Cheng thought that they knew that they were going to talk about the acquisition of Rockefeller Center with Mitsubishi Land, and when they heard the two of them swear to say this, they were immediately overjoyed and said, "Then there is Mr. Rauritian." ”
Sozo Horida patted his chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me!" ”
Ji Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Tian Zhuangzo like this, he said in his heart that Zhuangzo Horitian deserves to be the chairman of Sumitomo Group, it's really awesome, buddies can help solve it when they invest more than a billion dollars to acquire this eucalyptus.
That's what he thinks in his heart, Horida Sozo and Matsushita Masayuki don't know, even now, they still think that Ji Cheng offended the people of the Mitsubishi Group, but they didn't expect that the people offended were insignificant, nothing more than the people of Mitsubishi Place, this time I asked Horita Sozo to come out, it was really a knife to kill chickens, this kind of thing Matsushita Masayuki came forward enough.
Well, they didn't know that Ji Cheng was talking about the acquisition of more than a billion US dollars, and if they knew, they wouldn't dare to say so, after all, their faces were not big enough for Mitsubishi Group to casually come up with more than a billion US dollars.
