The next morning.

Lin Zhichao told Hina Sakurai to say: "Submit a formal resignation report, and then wait for the company's approval." Subsequently, I will arrange for you. But there is one thing, what I give you is yours, don't be greedy. Money is a trivial matter, but there are some things I want you to understand, don't think about it, otherwise you will be hurt in the end! ”

Hinako Sakurai instantly understood that what this man meant was not to destroy his family, otherwise he would suffer.

She didn't think too much about it, she just wanted to live a superior life, so she immediately promised: "I will be an obedient woman, please rest assured." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, it's good to be sensible.

If he really encounters that kind of troublesome woman, he will definitely not mess with it. The family is what he values the most, and whoever wants to destroy his family will definitely have to make whoever pays.

In the morning, Hinako Sakurai finally arrived at the flight on time, although she felt a little painful, but her mood was very excited, she finally got her wish, and everything was so unexpected to satisfy herself.

"Purser, what is so pleased?"

"yes, why didn't you go back to the dormitory yesterday, did you get a boyfriend?"

The subordinates were curious, these flight attendants were Japanese and Hong Kong, and they communicated in English.

Hinako Sakurai said with a smile: "So what are you guessing, just take the time to spend the night with your family and hurry up and work!" ”

She would keep it a strict secret so as not to make the man trouble her.

She couldn't help but tremble at the thought of trouble, and then smiled happily.

Yesterday the man guessed a lot, she once had a boyfriend in college, and the two were very affectionate; Later, she chose to be a flight attendant, and her boyfriend was a company employee; In the face of many rich people's invitations, she adhered to the quality of self-love; It's just that two years ago, her boyfriend told her that she was going to marry her boss's daughter.

At that moment, Hinako Sakurai asked loudly: "Why? ”

Her boyfriend said weakly: "Rijizi, as long as I agree to marry her, I can be promoted and raised, and I can be cultivated." I don't have a choice, so please forget about me! ”

Hinako Sakurai suddenly found that she was so naïve, what she held onto, what she got more easily, and threw it to her boyfriend, he was like a dog seeing a bone.

Since then, Hinako Sakurai has decided that she will either not choose or choose the best.

Because of this, she finally chose her boss as her target half a year later, she remembers that the boss under the leadership of the president, condolences to the crew, is so handsome, personable, and the captain communicates fluently in English, and she communicates fluently in Japanese, and is so talented.

At that moment, she made up her mind that she would not be willing to reach her goal, so every time Lin Zhichao took the opportunity, she would find an opportunity to be attentive and show herself.

At one point, she almost gave up, this man was too difficult to handle.

But now, she has finally succeeded!

"Hello and welcome to Hong Kong Airlines!"

On this day, she looks at everyone so pleasing to the eye!

A year ago, it was called "Sasebo Ship", but now it has been changed to "Sasebo Heavy Industries".

"Chairman Kato, do you have the technical grasp of this 130,000-ton tanker?" Lin Zhichao asked again and again.

Ken Kato immediately assured seriously: "Mr. Lin, you have cooperated with our Japanese shipbuilding industry for many years, and you know the credibility of our shipbuilding industry. Whenever there is a problem with our ship, we will definitely rush to the scene as soon as possible to find out the cause. If it is our technical problem, we will accompany it all, and we will definitely not smash the signboard of the Japanese shipbuilding industry. ”

Lin Zhichao was right when he thought about it, although the Japanese shipbuilding industry is still a little behind Europe and the United States in welding, but it is only a matter of the past two years to catch up. Importantly, some minor imperfections do not affect anything.

In terms of after-sales, the Japanese shipbuilding industry is definitely the best, and if their ship has a problem, no matter how big the price is, it will not shirk.

This is because the Japanese government regards the shipbuilding industry as a key development of 'heavy industry' and will never smash the signboard.

"Well, this time I came to Japan with the intention of building ten large oil tankers, and I plan to build them in three shipyards. And in your Sasebo Heavy Industries, you plan to build 4 oil tankers, two 100,000-ton tankers, and two 130,000-ton tankers. ”

Ken Kato was suddenly surprised, Lin Zhichao built a million-ton oil tanker at one time, and he was an absolute big customer in the Japanese shipbuilding industry.

In fact, this is nothing, Dong Yunhao in his previous life, in 1966, also built 6 226,000-ton oil tankers at one time.

But after all, this is 1961, and world shipping is still the off-season.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know if you need a loan, but we in Japan can provide very low interest rates to foreign businessmen?"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Not for the time being, but shipbuilding may be needed next year." ”

Ken Kato said, "Hey! ”

Afterwards, everyone went to the conference room and began to sign the shipbuilding contract.

Accompanying Lin Zhichao is still Feng Yongfa, the deputy general manager, as for the other vice president, Bobby Blair, who is more responsible for the 'external', and Feng Yongfa's responsibility for the 'internal', of course, is not absolute.

In short, since there are two vice presidents, Lin Zhichao's burden has become easier.

Although he is still doing things like shipbuilding, leasing and signing contracts, he is actually just going through the motions; First of all, everything has been prepared in advance.

After this shipbuilding, the deadweight of global shipping has changed again.

Global shipping: 16 new tankers of 100,000 tons, 2 of 70,000 tons, 4 of 56,000 tons and 2 of 36,000 tons, totaling 2.02 million tons, 8 second-hand tankers with a total of 150,000 tons, 12 new tankers with a total of 230,000 tons, 64 old tankers with a total of 660,000 tons, and a total tonnage of 3.06 million tons.

Universal Shipping: 2 130,000 tons, 8 100,000 tons, and 4 56,000 tons of oil tankers, totaling 1.32 million tons.

Huaxing Shipping: 12 second-hand ships (old) with a gross tonnage of 100,000 tons.

Asia Shipping: 15 newer vessels with a gross tonnage of 120,000 tons.

Four shipping companies, with a total deadweight of 4.6 million tons, he has surpassed Onassis, about twice as much as his deadweight.

Moreover, Global Shipping has almost no debt, and it is expected to be able to repay all the funds by the end of the year, including the unbuilt ships. Since 1962, Global Shipping has been using loans to build ships.

In fact, even if global shipping does not need to be borrowed, it should be able to expand to 6 million tons by 1967.

However, considering that Lin Zhichao's goal is 800~10 million tons, and 800,000 tons of old ships have to be eliminated during the period, it is necessary to make full use of the loan.

On the last day of the inspection in Japan, Lin Zhichao came to Nissin Company, and Chen Ping, the general manager of the doll noodles, accompanied him.

In fact, Chen Ping is also a director of Nissin Company, and will conduct accounting audits; After all, doll noodles currently hold a 49% stake in Nissin Ramen.

Momofuku Ando was in the office and greeted the two of them.

"Mr. Lin, the 'Ajisen Ramen' brand you suggested last year has now opened three flagship stores, and the business is very good. We also plan to double the size of our store this year."

Lin Zhichao doesn't care much about this brand, but if Momofuku Ando does a good job, it will naturally be beneficial to the company.

Therefore, he complimented: "President Anteng is well managed, I just provided an idea, I didn't expect you to come up with results so quickly, very powerful!" ”

Momofuku Ando hurriedly became modest, compared to business, he didn't dare to compare with Lin Zhichao in front of him. A young, self-made billionaire entrepreneur whose career spans industry, real estate, shipping, especially shipping, there are legends in the Japanese shipping industry and shipbuilding industry.

"It's often an idea that is the key to success! It's like when your company developed instant noodles to solve the problem of food shortage in Asian countries, which is a world-class invention. ”

Instant noodles are really the gospel of Japan, no wonder the Japanese government and legal circles also take care of the 'copyright' of doll noodles, of course, doll noodles are not greedy, and put forward harsh conditions.

Then, Lin Zhichao said with concern: "Tonkotsu ramen has been on the market for more than half a year, I don't know what the situation of Nissin ramen is?" ”

Momofuku Ando immediately said: "Very good! At present, a bag of tonkotsu ramen is 35 yen, and the sales volume has exceeded 35 million bags in half a year; At the same time, the price of Nissin chicken noodle soup has also risen to 30 yen, and the half-year sales volume has also reached 2,500 bags. It is expected that Nissin Ramen will once again exceed 120 million bags of bagged ramen this year, accounting for more than 25% of the Japanese ramen market, with a profit of more than 3 million US dollars. ”

Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "We are very happy to cooperate with Nissin Ramen, President Ando is honest and trustworthy, and I hope we can continue to cooperate." ”

The implication is that it is impossible to sell shares in doll noodles, and it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of Nissin ramen.

After listening to this, Momofuku Ando said: "This is natural, if Mr. Hayashi did not choose me, but chose others to cooperate, I believe that there would not be today's Nissin." ”

Although sometimes think about it, other ramen brands pay up to $50,000 in royalties, while Nissin pays a full 49% stake; However, as the first Japanese ramen maker, Nissin Ramen has a big advantage.

Not only that, but in the follow-up cooperation, the ideas of 'Ajisen Ramen' and 'Tonkotsu Ramen' all came from doll noodles. Even, even investing in stocks, under the advice of Lin Zhichao, earned nearly 500,000 US dollars.

Therefore, Momofuku Ando did not complain in his heart, on the contrary, he attached great importance to his relationship with Lin Zhichao.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao inquired about the follow-up development plan of Nissin Ramen, and on the whole, Momofuku Ando planned very well, and bagged ramen and Ajisen ramen were developed at the same time.

"In the past year, we have not been able to pay dividends to shareholders for the time being, I hope Mr. Lin will understand!"

"Haha, I just hope that Nissin ramen will develop bigger, so I'm not in a hurry to pay dividends."

The investment in the factory, the investment in the headquarters, and the expansion of Ajisen Ramen all require capital; In addition, there is still a little debt in front, so it is not realistic to pay dividends in a short time.

Lin Zhichao is very envious of the Japanese market, but he knows that doll noodles will definitely not please Japan for development, and they overlap too much with Nissin ramen. Only in two or three years, the development of cup noodles can the development of doll noodles be taken to a higher level.

Just as the three of them were chatting, the office door remembered, and a staff member walked in and reported: "President, Korean Jeon Joong-yun is outside, I want to see you!" ”

Momofuku Ando immediately explained to Lin Zhichao: "This Korean wants to introduce ramen technology and equipment to South Korea for development. It is said that he has visited some companies, but he has not negotiated, is Mr. Lin interested in meeting? If not, I'll tell him to leave now. ”

Lin Zhichao said: "It's okay to see you! ”

The patented technology is doll face, but instead of seeking cooperation in Hong Kong, I came to Japan to seek cooperation. Moreover, some Japanese instant noodle companies want to cooperate with this Korean, but the conditions are very harsh.

It seems that everyone knows that South Korea will not value your Hong Kong patents.

It is true that Koreans can ignore patents, but equipment and technology need to come to Japan to seek cooperation, and the relationship between Japan and South Korea at this time is not bad; On the contrary, Koreans should hate the Chinese even more, after all, they have only been beaten for almost ten years.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao has already thought in his heart that if he can cooperate, he will authorize Nissin Ramen to cooperate with Koreans.

After a while, a slightly chubby Korean with a big back walked in.

Lin Zhichao and Chen Ping didn't get up, and Momofuku Ando didn't get up either, as if Quan Zhongrun was here to ask for food.

Hearing that the boss of the instant noodle invention company was here, Quan Zhongrun's face suddenly changed slightly, because it meant a matter of 'patent fees'.

Lin Zhichao leaned on the sofa and said, "Just say that as long as you convince us, we can waive your patent fees and cooperate with you." ”

Seeing this, Quan Zhongrun immediately became sensational.

"Mr. Lim, Mr. Angteng, Mr. ChenI have seen a lot of scenes of long queues at the market for a bowl of leftover rice porridge (made with leftover rice from the US troops stationed there). I saw that ramen had solved a similar problem in Japan, so I wanted to introduce ramen and produce it in Korea. ”

Jeon Joong-run played the emotional card, he was short in a gray suit and leather shoes, and stood in front of the three of them as if he was begging.

As you can imagine, he has already been rejected by many people!

Of course, Lin Zhichao will not feel sorry for the problem of Koreans not having enough to eat, and Hong Kong compatriots are still full at this time!

However, this is business, after all, a profitable thing.

In the previous life, Nissin Ramen cooperated with several instant noodles in Samyang and Taiwan in South Korea, and the annual dividends were very expensive.

However, considering the political influence, Lin Zhichao said to Momofuku Ando: "President Anteng, I can authorize Nissin Ramen to use our patent to cooperate with the Korean side, and we don't need a penny for the patent fee." ”

Quan Zhongrun suddenly hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, you are really an amazing entrepreneur"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Mr. Quan, don't thank me, I actually know this patent, for South Korea, which can't even eat, the constraints are too small, so I give up the right." ”

Quan Zhongrun was immediately embarrassed, he really didn't plan to pay patent fees. As long as there are Japanese companies willing to transfer equipment and technology, he can start it.

Momofuku Ando then said, "Mr. Jeon Chung-run, we at Nissin can purchase equipment and transfer technology for you. Only your equipment will be charged. However, we would like to have a 49% stake. ”

Quan Zhongrun didn't have much choice, so he could only say with confidence: "I only raised $50,000 in start-up capital, how much does the equipment cost cost?" ”

Momofuku Ando said: "We can provide you with $25,000 for the equipment first, and the equipment fee can be paid in installments for one year after it is put into production." ”

Put a long line and catch big fish, Momofuku Ando learned Lin Zhichao's methods.

Koreans can't afford to eat, sooner or later the situation will be better, as long as they get 49% of the equity, the dividends in the future will be a lot of money.

In the end, Quan Zhongrun agreed to Ando Momofuku's request, after all, he had no other losses except for taking out an unknown 49% stake. Other Japanese manufacturers often put forward more excessive requirements.

Quan Zhongrun still values Nissin ramen's supremacy in Japan, especially the two flavors of instant noodles.

After Quan Zhongrun left, Lin Zhichao said: "South Korea's cooperation is authorized to Nissin; The cooperation on the Taiwan side must be Hong Kong. ”

Momofuku Ando immediately said, "It's nature! ”

In fact, Lin Zhichao also saw that Momofuku Ando originally wanted to introduce Quan Zhongrun to the doll face, and he didn't want to 'take advantage' of it.

From this point of view, Momofuku Ando's character is okay.

If they can cooperate in the future, Lin Zhichao is also willing to cooperate with Momofuku Ando, such as cup noodles.

It is almost impossible for instant noodles to be global and bigger; After all, every country has its own taste, and in the previous life, South Korea, Huaxia, Japan, Sing Tao, Thailand, Malaysia and other Asian countries all had their own instant noodle brands, and the market share was very high; Even the doll noodles in Hong Kong are very well done.

Although it cannot be strengthened in every country, in fact, it is still possible to expand the business and develop and grow in the mainland in the later stage.

Finally, Momofuku Ando said, "Mr. Lin, what do you think about stock investment? ”

Lin Zhichao asked rhetorically: "President Ando wants to make additional investment?" ”

Momofuku Ando said with a smile: "I'm not very sure, so I personally won't decide to invest; If Mr. Lin has a high opinion, I am willing to listen to the partner. ”

Between the words, it revealed his trust in Lin Zhichao, this Momofuku Ando is still very smart.

Lin Zhichao said: "I also think that there should be no additional investment, because the Japanese stock market has risen from 1954 to this year, from more than 400 to more than 1,400, I think it is already very remarkable." At the end of the year, President Anteng should consider emptying the stock and not moving it for the time being. ”

He didn't know about stocks at this time, but he knew a lot of things, such as the Japanese stock market rose to 36,000 points in the early 90s, and now it is only 1,400 points, which is more than 20 times the broader market index.

However, due to the impact of U.S. stocks next year, there should not be a good market, and the Japanese stock market will also have to adjust.

Since you don't understand it, then simply don't fry it.

Momofuku Ando immediately took it as a holy decree and said, "No problem, it will all be emptied at the end of the year." Nissin Ramen still wants to focus on the development of ramen and Ajisen ramen. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "That's the reason!" ”
