After receiving a call from Gu Kunquan, the Japanese Masanobu Kitajima, whom Gu Kunquan called Mr. Kitajima, immediately said that he had time now and asked Gu Kunquan to take Gao Fan to the lobby of the Maolin Hotel where he had fallen.
He will book a table in the lobby cafe where everyone can chat.
Maolin Hotel is not far from the Science and Technology Commission. Gao Fan did not ride his bicycle, but walked there with Gu Kunquan. Entering the lobby, Gao Fan saw two people standing over the tea seat, a man and a woman.
The male one is wearing a suit, looking like a foreigner. The female one is wearing spring and autumn clothes that are commonly worn by young domestic women. She must be a translator.
Unlike Gao Fan's imagination of the Japanese with short stature and fat body, Bei Dao is elongated and lean, of medium height, with eyes that move around, which is easily reminiscent of the idiom "skull-like eyebrows and rat-like eyes". However, nowadays, foreign guests
It is a rare object. Even a foreign guest who looks wretched is still a foreign guest and deserves everyone's respect.
"Mr. Bei Dao, hello! I haven't seen you for two days. I think you look much better than last time."
When Gu Kunquan saw Bei Dao standing up, he didn't bother to greet Gao Fan, so he trotted up to him, saying indifferent greetings.
The female translator next to Kitajima Masanobu professionally translated Gu Kunquan's greetings into Japanese. After hearing this, Kitajima Masanobu said the same greetings with a smile on his face and began to bow to Gu Kunquan.
The two exchanged greetings for several times through the language barrier. Gu Kunquan imitated the other person's behavior and returned the bow. Then he remembered the purpose of his trip and took Gao Fan, who had come late, to Bei Dao.
Masanobu was making introductions.
"Hello, Mr. Gao!"
After listening to Gu Kunquan's introduction, Bei Dao turned his head to Gao Fan, bowed first, and at the same time greeted Gao Fan.
"Hello, Mr. Bei Dao.
Gao Fan was too lazy to bow to the other party, he just nodded and responded.
Perhaps the tone of his response was too perfunctory, as the female translator's face clearly showed displeasure, and she looked at Gao Fan with a bit of disgust.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gao, please take a seat."
Kitajima Masanobu didn't notice the translator's expression. He warmly greeted Gu Kunquan and Gao Fan to sit down, then personally picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea into the small teacups in front of Gu Kunquan and Gao Fan.
"Thank you Mr. Bei Dao!"
Gu Kunquan looked a little flattered. He thanked Bei Daozheng, and then turned to Gao Fan and said: "Xiao Gao, look at the quality of the foreign guests. It's really beyond our comparison. They are obviously foreign guests, but they still give them to them personally."
Let's pour tea. To be honest, the first time I met Mr. Bei Dao, I was conquered by his charisma.
"Isn't that true?" Gao Fan said with a smile, "Director Gu, you are also the director of the Science and Technology Commission after all. In our county, you are the county leader. A small businessman from abroad will pour you a cup of tea. You
Do you care that much?'
"What are you talking about! You..." Gu Kunquan was a little annoyed. He instinctively wanted to retort to Gao Fan, but he swallowed it back. Gao Fan's "master" image was in Gu Kunquan's heart.
There was some pressure, which made him feel that he was not qualified to speak to Gao Fan like this.
"Mr. Gao is really young. I saw Mr. Gao's deeds in the newspaper. I couldn't believe that this was done by a 16-year-old boy. I really admire him." Masanobu Kitajima
He spoke. Of course, he spoke in Japanese and had to rely on the female translator to translate.
"I don't quite understand what the deeds Mr. Kitajima is talking about are referring to?" Gao Fan waited for the female translator to finish speaking before asking Masanobu Kitajima.
"Of course it was Mr. Gao who invented the chemical cleaning agent." Masanobu Kitajima said, "I went to that monument specifically to see it. The cleaning effect is shocking. The chemical cleaning agent you invented is very remarkable."
"This is nothing." Gao Fan said lightly.
He still hasn't figured out what Kitajima Masanobu wants to do, but based on his stereotype of the Japanese, he feels that this nation has always been unprofitable. Kitajima Masanobu is so eager to see him that he is definitely not only
It was just to kneel to him, but it was for some purpose.
"Mr. Gao, have you ever thought about introducing external capital into your company?" Masanobu Kitajima asked.
"External funds?" Gao Fan raised his eyebrows, "You mean, you want to invest in us?
"Of course it's not me," Kitajima Masanobu said, "it's my company. I'm the head of the China region of Tokusatsu Co., Ltd., our company is very interested in Mr. Gao's company and wants to invest in you.
"
"Oh." Gao Fan responded and even nodded, but he was noncommittal.
Gu Kunquan, who was sitting next to him, was anxious. He poked Gao Fan and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Gao, didn't you hear what Mr. Bei Dao said?
"I heard it." Gao Fan said.
"Then what do you mean?"
"It's boring.
"How could it be boring? Foreign guests want to join a joint venture with your company. What a great opportunity this is!"
"But, he didn't tell me any conditions, how do I know if it's a good opportunity?
"What other conditions do you want?"
"No way? Director Gu." Gao Fan said, "You didn't even ask about the other party's conditions. You just told me that this is a good opportunity. If he wants to give 100 yen, he can exchange it for 80% of our company's
Equity, do you think I will agree or not?
"How is this possible?" Gu Kunquan said, "Didn't you hear what Mr. Bei Dao said? Their company is very interested in your chemical cleaning agent and wants to invest in you. Since it is an investment, the price will definitely be very suitable.
"
"So, I have to first listen to what price he offers before I can judge." Gao Fan said, pretending to be innocent.
In his heart, he had no interest at all in Kitajima Masanobu's request. In this era, government officials at all levels valued foreign investment as high as the sky, and felt that it was a great honor to have foreign investors take a fancy to their companies. Gao
However, Fan knew that Kitajima Masanobu had absolutely no good intentions. He probably just wanted to spend a few small sums of money to get the chemical cleaning agent technology of Canghua Company into his own hands.
The two of them were muttering there. Although they both lowered their voices deliberately, the distance between the two sides was only so small. How could Kitajima Masanobu and the translator not hear them. However, the two lowered their voices, which meant that they were talking to the north.
Masanobu Shima hinted that he did not want Masanobu Kitajima to understand the conversation between them, so it was inconvenient for Masanobu Kitajima to ask questions directly to the interpreter.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, do you have any questions about the suggestion I just made?" Kitajima Masanobu asked.
"There is one." Gao Fan said, "I would like to know how much your company is willing to invest in our company, and what return you want to get from our company."
"We can offer 100 million yen and hope to obtain 51% of your company's equity." Kitajima Masanobu said.
