Chapter 1079: The Culprit

On June 3, 1995, the three-day Internet Expo officially came to an end, and at 9 o'clock that night, Masayoshi Son invited many bigwigs in the technology circle to a banquet at Sun Hill Villa.

Because Son has close cooperation with some companies in the beautiful country, and he himself is investment-oriented, coupled with his fame, the bigwigs in the technology circle will naturally give face.

In order to make this dinner a success, he even invited 20 top chefs from Japan to take charge of the cooking work.

At 8:50 p.m., the bigwigs in the technology circle were basically all there, the most well-known is Warren Buffett, and the heads of companies such as Apple, IBM, and Motorola were also present, and Bill Gates sent an executive to attend although he did not come in person.

Counting it carefully, there were a total of thirty or forty people at the scene, and it is no exaggeration to say that these people dominate the scientific and technological pattern of the entire world.

At this moment, everyone is sitting around a huge oval-shaped table, the table is more than ten meters long, on which is placed a half-meter-high sailboat, the hull is up and down, the clouds are shrouded, and dozens of Japanese dishes are hidden in the clouds and mist, vivid.

Behind everyone, there are not only kimono women serving closely, but also some women dressed in bewitching clothes dancing, and the whole hall is full of Japanese style.

Such a unique arrangement, even the big people here who have seen the world are full of praise.

"Mr. Sun, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really didn't expect to be able to eat such an authentic Japanese meal in a beautiful country."

Thomas Watson, president of IBM, said with a smile.

"In order to let everyone taste the most delicious food, I specially invited 20 top chefs from Japan, I hope you enjoy it."

Son said with a smile.

"Mr. Sun is so attentive, how can we not like it?"

Hewlett-Packard CEO Brownie said.

"Brownie, do you like Japanese food, or do you like the girls behind you?"

Chambers, the general manager of Cisco, joked with a smile that because he and Son have a cooperative relationship, he also helped a lot in the success of this banquet.

Hearing Chambers's words, everyone laughed, and Son Masayoshi followed: "As long as everyone likes it, it doesn't hurt for the girl to take it away." ”

"Mr. Sun really gave us a lot of surprises."

Brownie's eyes lit up as he picked up the conversation.

"In fact, in addition to these surprises, Mr. Sun also prepared even bigger surprises for us." Chambers said again.

"Oh?" Everyone looked puzzled at the same time.

Son saw Chambers' eyes and took the opportunity to glance at his watch, which was already past ten past nine.

"Mr. Sun, what kind of surprise is it that makes it so mysterious." Someone asked.

"Everyone eats first, and when we are full, there will naturally be surprises." Son smiled and motioned to everyone, and then asked the staff to invite a chef to personally introduce the ingredients and the story behind each dish in English.

Time passed minute by minute, and in a reception room in Sun Villa, Li Siwen, Lu Shuhang, Zheng Jiayu and other beauties were sitting bored on chairs.

"It's almost ten o'clock now, what does this Son mean when he called us? Basking us? Lu Shuhang glanced at the time and said.

"Hehe, maybe I have a relationship with those big guys first!" Li Siwen replied calmly.

"I really don't understand what he's trying to do." Li Fuzhen looked at Li Siwen and whispered, "But have you thought about how to deal with it tonight?" If those bigwigs are really persuaded by Son, all your arrangements will be in vain. ”

"Isn't that what Son is for?" Zheng Jiayu took the words and looked at Li Siwen with the same concern.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Li Siwen just wanted to say something, but the door was rudely pushed open, and a staff member stood at the door and said bluntly: "You can enter." ”

"Let's go, it's time for us to behave." Li Siwen got up and tidied up his expensive suit, but he didn't have any displeasure about being sunburned.

This attitude also made others feel a little more stable.

A few minutes later, Li Siwen led a group of people to push open the door of the box, to be exact, this is not a box, but a dance hall with hundreds of square meters, many bigwigs sit around a sailboat to eat, the scene is extremely spectacular, and the spotlights flashing from time to time make the scene very much like the bigwigs gathering, this meeting is indeed a bigwig gathering, after all, any person who catches out is worth billions of dollars.

At the same time, everyone at the scene also saw Li Siwen and others who came in, and when everyone saw this scene, their eyes were obviously stunned.

"Mr. Sun, you just talked about the LCD panel, and you brought this kid here, could it be that you want him to buy our LCD panel? Was this your surprise? ”

"From what I know, the relationship between the two of you should be very bad, right? It seems that the encirclement and suppression of Datang is also Mr. Sun's idea. ”

"Mr. Sun, what the hell is going on?"

Several technology bigwigs took the lead in asking, although Buffett didn't speak, he showed an interested look, and he was also curious about how Li Siwen came over.

"Colleagues, don't worry, I will naturally let everyone know the purpose of inviting Mr. Li to come over in a while." Sun Zhengyi said, got up and said to Li Siwen: "Mr. Li, according to your request, I have reserved the position, please take a seat!" ”

"Thank you." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he sat directly opposite Sun Zhengyi and formed a counterpoint with him, while Lu Shuhang, Zheng Jiayu and others quietly sat next to him.

The three goddesses are naturally particularly eye-catching, and although the big guys present will not behave rudely, they will still peek at them from time to time.

After Son Masayoshi saw Li Siwen sit down, he continued to stand, and looked at Chambers and said, "Mr. Chambers, can you remind me where I talked about just now?" ”

"Talking about LCD panel technology, I bought it from our country." Chambers reminded.

Son Masayoshi nodded lightly, pursed his lips and smiled, and talked eloquently: "That's right, the reason why Japan can succeed in the field of LCD panels today is naturally inseparable from the great help of the beautiful country, if there is no beautiful country as a pioneer, it is impossible to achieve Japan, this is the eternal truth, every one of our Japanese people has great respect for the beautiful country." I am holding this banquet today in a private capacity to express my most sincere gratitude to all the seniors here and the scientists who have worked hard behind them......

Son Masayoshi said for more than ten minutes "in one breath", as if he was reading a manuscript, and the meaning of the whole article is gratitude, gratitude, thanks, worship, praising the beautiful country, and after praising the beautiful country, he began to praise the major enterprises, from IBM to Motorola, from Texas Instruments to General Electric, he basically said all the words that human beings are proficient in.

Even Li Siwen, who was already ready, couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard the other party's words: "Good licking!" ”

After a passage, Son Masayoshi took a sip of wine and continued: "Having said so much, in addition to expressing my inner gratitude, I want everyone to understand that Japan and the beautiful country are a community with a shared future, and all our business in Japan is for the beautiful country. ”

When Son said this, his voice suddenly sank, and he said: "However, today's LCD panel market has been completely disrupted, and the price of LCD panels is rising in an unreasonable and unstable way, which has seriously hurt major enterprises, and the most fundamental problem is naturally inseparable from our Japan." ”

When everyone heard this, they all started to complain.

"Mr. Sun, today's panel market is indeed out of control, and in the final analysis, the reason is undoubtedly that Japan has monopolized this industry."

"That's right, as soon as the Japanese side raised prices, our major enterprises suffered greatly."

"Now the shipment price of Japan has been close to three times, a 3-inch LCD panel costs 15 US dollars, and the cost of all goods will increase."

"Mr. Sun said so much, he should be worried about our country's tariffs on the LCD panel field, right?"

"I heard that the Ministry of Commerce will collect opinions soon, and I guess this is the real purpose of Mr. Sun's approach."

Many bigwigs are very rational, although they were slapped by Son Zhengyi's whiskers, but they still expressed the most intuitive ideas.

And Son Zhengyi did not deny it, and nodded directly: "Everyone is right, I invite you here today in the hope that you can let Japan go." ”

"Hehe, it's not up to us to decide." Someone chuckled back.

"As long as everyone here does not agree to impose tariffs, presumably the Ministry of Commerce will definitely not wield a butcher's knife lightly." Son replied.

"Mr. Sun, to tell you the truth, the top management has long noticed the monopoly of the Japanese side in the field of liquid crystal, but for some reasons the sanctions have not been imposed, but the sanctions are only a matter of time." Someone said calmly.

"Even if it is inevitable that we will be sanctioned one day, it is definitely not today, let alone the time when we are being tricked around, pushing for sanctions for the selfish interests of some individuals." Son Masayoshi said word by word.

"Tricked around?"

Everyone looked puzzled at the same time.

"Haven't you thought about it carefully, who is pushing the price increase in the field of LCD panels? You think it's a market, it's a Japanese monopoly, but I can tell you clearly, it's not at all. Son Zhengyi's eyes shot at Li Siwen, and pointed directly at the other party: "There is only one person who promotes the price increase in the field of LCD panels, and that is him, Li Siwen." ”

When everyone heard Sun Zhengyi's words, they turned their eyes to each other almost at the same time, but soon someone chuckled and said: "Mr. Sun, I know something about Datang Technology's encirclement and suppression, and I also know that the price increase in the field of LCD panels began to show signs from Mr. Li's sweeping, but if you say that he alone pulls up the price of the entire market, it is too exaggerated." ”

"That's right, the bid of ten times the price is indeed tempting enough, but everyone here is not a fool, some of our companies stock up on LCD panels, mainly because of the future development space."

Seeing everyone's statement, Son Masayoshi said unhurriedly: "LCD panels do have a lot of room for development in the future, but in the face of such a good market environment, let me ask you, is the LCD panel really to the point where you need to stock up at a high price?" In addition to their own use, major companies are not affected by price gouging and some media in seizing LCD panels. ”

As he spoke, Son took out a voice recorder from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "You can listen to it." ”

Soon, a string of English was released from the voice recorder, which was basically a dialogue between two voices, and the content of the dialogue involved the recent media hype LCD panel.

"My people found several experts and professors who have recently published articles in the media, and I learned from their mouths that they paid a lot of money to hype the future of LCD panels, and the recording just now is evidence." After Son Zhengyi finished speaking, he took out an envelope and threw it on the table: "There are anonymous letters written to me by several media outlets, which also indicate that they reported on the LCD panel after receiving the money, obviously, all this is a scam, and the panel field is not as exaggerated as everyone thinks." ”

If everyone still has doubts about what Sun Zhengyi said before, then at this moment, when everyone heard the recording, their expressions became solemn almost at the same time, and when Sun Zhengyi saw this scene, he immediately pointed at Li Siwen while the iron was hot and said: "And the culprit of all this is him." ”

"Datang Technology has been completely shut down since it was encircled and suppressed by Japan, and he came here to sweep goods in order to get rid of this situation. However, the sweep is fake, and the high-level sanctions against Japan that are pushing for here are real. So he directly bought 1.5 million LCD screens from Motorola at ten times the price.

This news is the fuse of the market explosion, many small and medium-sized enterprises see Motorola making money, do not consider the cause and effect of the matter, quickly rushed into the LCD battlefield, at this time, he found some experts and professors in the media to start the layout, constantly advocating the use of LCD panels, so that the market is dazzled, and it is impossible to distinguish which is true and which is false.

Subsequently, he put the news back to Japan, causing Japanese merchants to see that the price had skyrocketed here, so they also began to increase prices, and the entire supply chain began to develop rapidly in an unhealthy direction under such circumstances.

This is a game he concocted, and most of us are kept in the dark, and even some people are still fantasizing about the future of the LCD panel field, but in fact, you are just a chess piece in his hand. ”

Son was indignant: "I know that you may be unhappy to say this, but for the sake of you, I must tell the truth, because once we follow his steps to promote the imposition of tariffs, it will damage not only the interests of Japan, but also the interests of everyone here, but this kid will become the only beneficiary." ”

Everyone's face is gloomy, everyone is not stupid, naturally understand what Sun Zhengyi means, once tariffs are imposed, the import price will naturally increase, which is really not good for major companies, but under the influence of tariffs, Japan has to sell LCD panels to Li Siwen.

"Li Siwen, today I will personally tear off your hypocritical mask, today is your judgment day!"

Masayoshi Son has never been more righteous than he is today!
