Chapter 164, Roaring to Fate(1/2)
Ueno Yosuke was a little embarrassed by Son's stunned expression. Although Son just glanced at him, he was mainly looking at Tao Zhiming.
Tao Zhiming's expression didn't change even a dime.
"...I'm sorry." Sun Zhengyi couldn't help but feel that it would be better to find Miyamoto tonight to discuss countermeasures. But now that he has arrived, he can only say, "If this is the case, then Mr. Tao can contact our marketing department directly.
Yes. We at SoftBank also very much welcome small retailers to cooperate with us."
Tao Zhiming smiled and said nothing. He caught the obvious disappointment in Son Zhengyi's eyes just now.
For Son Zhengyi, dimensional culture should definitely be a new term. He has no time these days to arrange for someone to investigate the scale of this company?
Moreover, he obviously came here with hope, so when Tao Zhiming directly said that he was still making preparations, he couldn't help but look disappointed.
It seems that there is indeed a big problem within SoftBank, which makes such a strong guy like Masayoshi Son feel a little sick and hurried to seek medical treatment.
"Sun Jun, I actually contacted the marketing department, but your subordinate told us that he is no longer responsible for these matters, and SoftBank has also suspended the development of new partners. I had no choice but to contact you directly several times.
"Tao Zhiming cheated again.
As expected, Son Zhengyi was shocked again.
When was there such an order? Moreover, he is no longer responsible for these things. If that guy is a member who has resigned, wouldn't he have decided to resign many days ago? Why did he have to wait until today to hand in his resignation letter?
But Sun Zhengyi quickly controlled his expression and said calmly: "Indeed, because we have just taken over the club again, we have suspended new cooperation and development, but it will start again soon. In the past two weeks, a new work plan has been formulated
OK. I admire Tao Jun’s persistence, and thank you for still paying so much attention to SoftBank under such circumstances!”
Tao Zhiming smiled: "Sun Jun has been busy and hasn't had dinner yet? Let's eat first."
Sun Zhengyi thought it would be good to have a dinner. After finishing the meal, he could leave first on the pretext that he had other things to do.
How can a bookstore that is still under preparation help me?
But despite being soft-spoken, Son thought it would be better to encourage these two young people. After all, having ambitious goals is always an advantage.
Just as he was about to speak, he realized something was wrong.
That’s just the guy named Zhiye, but Tao Dalang’s expression and aura are extraordinary.
If you are really a young person who just started his own business like you did back then, you should have some admiration and admiration for yourself who has created billions of yen in revenue, right?
Is this attitude of equal negotiation really overconfidence?
There is also the matter of suspending the development of new partners. If the people in the marketing department really said this to the outside world, Miyauchi-kun should have heard the news at least, and he would have received some feedback from customers.
There are many new customers introduced by old customers!
Sun Zhengyi came over in shock and doubt, looked up at Tao Zhiming, and saw him smiling brightly at him.
Nothing can be seen.
Masayoshi Son decided to wait. Since they took the initiative to invite him out and wanted to cooperate with SoftBank, they would always say something.
Tao Zhiming did say something. After all, the three of them were immersed in cooking, and the situation seemed a bit awkward.
But what he talked about was only content that had nothing to do with cooperation, current news and so on.
Sun Zhengyi dealt with it casually and absent-mindedly.
He is not a person who is accustomed to wasting time and is very patient.
After eating almost everything, Sun Zhengyi said: "I also hope that the bookstore founded by the two can develop to that scale. Regarding cooperation, when the new plan starts, I will remember to call Tao Jun."
"Yosuke, leave one of your business cards for Sun Jun. Sun Jun, just contact Ueno-kun when the time comes."
Masayoshi Son received the newly printed business card, and it read: Neon Dimension Culture Co., Ltd., President Yosuke Ueno.
Co., Ltd.?
If it is a joint stock company, the capital required is higher than that of a limited company.
Moreover, why is Ueno Yosuke the president? Shouldn't he just be the head of the purchasing department or something like that?
Son Zhengyi asked directly: "What position does Tao Jun hold?"
Tao Zhiming smiled and said: "I am the president."
Masayoshi Son was a little confused. If this was the structure, couldn't President Ueye handle this matter himself?
"Sun Jun left a very deep impression on me during today's meeting." Tao Zhiming said with a smile on his face, "Now that I have Sun Jun's promise, I will wait for Sun Jun's call."
He said meaningfully: "Let Sun Jun finish handling the internal affairs of the club and start a new battle as soon as possible. The personal computer industry is indeed very important and a field with great future. I, like you, are very sure of it.
Of course, there must be many friends who also believe in this and are strong. I look forward to meeting more such people!"
Seeing him stand up, Sun Zhengyi also stood up. Looking up at him, he always felt that in his tone, he seemed to be the president of Xinxing Club who controlled billions of yen. In his condescending aura, he seemed to have become
I had just started my business and wanted the same thing as him.
So Sun Zhengyi smiled and said: "When I have free time, I will definitely meet and chat with Mr. Tao again to hear your understanding of the computer industry."
"Then it's agreed." Tao Zhiming nodded with a smile, took out the business card box from his pocket, and handed over a business card, "Sun Jun probably hasn't written down my contact information yet."
The business card is very simple, with no other information except a name and a phone number.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, after bidding farewell, he walked to a Mercedes-Benz parked not far away and left calmly. More and more doubts surrounded Son Zhengyi.
Why is today's meeting so inexplicable?
In order to purchase software for a bookstore that was still under preparation, I directly invited myself as the president again and again.
After meeting, they were not in a hurry about the matter and did not even discuss the purchase price and scale.
What do you mean by those last words? After handling the internal affairs of the club...it sounds like you are talking about formulating a new plan and starting over to develop new customers.
But the look on his face when he spoke clearly meant something else.
Did he know about the collective resignation of the merchandise department?
Recalling his partnership with the young president Yosuke Ueno, Son was confused for a moment.
…
"There is really no need to worry about the software part." Sitting in the car, Yosuke Ueno said, "I have already established contact with Tomo, the marketing department of Neon Publishing. Do you want to start planning the types of books and magazines to purchase now?"
"Remember, we are not positioned as a serious bookstore." Tao Zhiming said, "We focus on the categories that are most popular among young people."
"I understand, light, comics, photo albums, music albums..."
Tao Zhiming had a smile on his face: "I don't know how Suzuki-san and his audiovisual company are doing. For the adult area to be opened in the future, we need to search for some supply channels in this area."
"...Is it really okay?" Ueno Yosuke was a little worried, "Those contents..."
"What's the problem? Aren't they all published legally?" Tao Zhiming joked, "Why, you're shy?"
"...No way!"
"Work hard to improve! In front of Masayoshi Son just now, your performance was average."
Yosuke Ueno said calmly: "It has not entered the stage of specific negotiations at all. Needless to say, I know the market information."
"No, I mean, you know my current strength. So even if he successfully founded a club with an annual revenue of billions of yen, you don't have to look any less dignified in front of him." Tao Zhiming glanced at him, "
Dimensional Culture, your father also provided you with 10 million yen. As a shareholder, since the goal is to be No. 1 in Neon, you must develop enough confidence."
Ueno Yosuke couldn't help but ask: "Dalang, why do you speak so easily?"
"I know it's a bit hard on you." Tao Zhiming's expression did not change, "But since you have my support, you should be more or less confident, and at the same time work very hard to take this first step well and achieve success based on your own ability.
After all, you are also a member of Dongda University, and now you are the president, so be more confident. Then use your first commercial success to consolidate this confidence!"
"...I understand. Thank you, Dalang..." Ueno Yosuke took a breath, then shook his head, "No, President."
"Yes, don't call me Dalang." Tao Zhiming laughed, "I'm so tall."
"..." Yosuke Ueno didn't understand the connection at all.
However, it was rare that he now had time to spend with him, so Yosuke Ueno also seized the opportunity to ask for advice on preparation and management.
Son Zhengyi returned to the company and found Ken Miyauchi, who had just joined the company.
"Yasuhiko Omori has left the position of president, but now, there is a new crisis!" Son Zhengyi said solemnly, "The merchandise department resigned collectively, as well as several people from the marketing department and the technology department."
"I already know." Miyauchi Kenya, 34, said, "This is an important crisis. What do you think?"
"The timing is so coincidental, I can't help but suspect that this is Omori Yasuhiko's method." Masayoshi Son was very angry. "Isn't he willing to let me take over again after he spent three years managing SoftBank like this?"
"...But didn't Toyo Yamada follow you a long time ago?" Miyauchi Ken shook his head, "Actually, I heard another theory. There are rumors among the members that people from the merchandising department were hired by outsiders.
For investment, you have to go out and start your own business.”
"No wonder..." Sun Zhengyi's face changed, "It's not good! The experience we have accumulated in software procurement, the procurement price, the wholesale price...all these secrets are all known to them. What they want to do will not be the same.
Is the software distributed?"
"I'm afraid that's the case. Today's incident proves that the rumors that have long existed among the members are true. If this incident hadn't happened, I would have asked about it, and I still wouldn't know about it until now."
"Miyauchi-san, who invested?"
"It's not clear yet. But the top priority is that we have to come up with countermeasures."
Son Zhengyi looked at him and was silent for a while before asking: "Miyauchi-san, facing this situation, are you willing to stay and fight with me?"
"Are you kidding me? Although it was Omori-san who invited me to SoftBank in the first place, after meeting you, weren't you determined to achieve the goal of having a computer on every desk?"
