As the saying goes, bad things travel thousands of miles, but good things never go out. This is human nature.
People are always more willing to pay attention to negative things, but appear indifferent to positive things.
Therefore, although the Guo family took remedial measures as soon as possible regarding what happened in their hotel, the results were very poor.
The recent experiences of the hotels owned by the Guo family have completely become the talk of the town and the butt of jokes among people in Southeast Asian countries.
Even though they tried their best to suppress the news after the incident, the major newspapers in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong were very generous and promised not to spread the matter further.
But unfortunately, because the relevant news has been published in the newspapers, and the incident took place in the lobby of various hotels, many guests witnessed it with their own eyes.
It is impossible to completely cover up this kind of gossip. Through word of mouth, it spreads like a virus and spreads everywhere.
Not only did it cause irreparable damage to the goodwill of the Guo family, it also seriously offended the dignity of the Guo family, which naturally made the Guo family extremely unhappy.
So how to solve this matter, the Guo family had two different attitudes from the beginning.
One type is a hardliner who insists on taking revenge and going back.
He believed that no matter what the cause of the matter was, no one would dare to do such a thing to the Guo family, and they could still be safe and not pay the price.
You know, the Guo family has close relationships with many wealthy families in Hong Kong City.
For example, Mr. Huo, the most prestigious person who takes both black and white.
Therefore, these people believe that since the other party is using young and Dangerous boys from Hong Kong City, they can start from Hong Kong City and rely on their good relationships with the Guo family to make these young and Dangerous boys turn against them and serve as their witnesses.
Then take legal channels to claim compensation from the other party.
It is bound to bring the other party into disrepute and ruin his fortune.
The other type is the pragmatist, who believes that good shoes don’t step on bad shit, so there is no need to further intensify conflicts and stimulate the other party to take more extreme measures.
The foundation of each other's business is in Japan, and Japan is currently a place that the Guo family's influence still cannot cover.
Under such a situation that is out of reach, if you go to Japan to fight with the opponent, it will be a complete dive. It will get twice the result with half the effort, which will be too detrimental to the Guo family and will actually elevate the opponent's identity.
What's more, even if you win the lawsuit against the other party, what will happen?
The Guo family may not be able to receive sufficient compensation, but will pay more. Such confrontation and legal proceedings should be avoided at all costs.
It is better to make peace with the other party and stop losses in time with appropriate favorable conditions.
But no matter what, both groups have an indisputable consensus - that is their condescending attitude.
Perhaps because they have been the leading wealthy family in Asia for too long, the Guo family thinks that their descendants are prosperous and powerful. Facing the countries in Southeast Asia, they can almost be said to be privileged aristocrats.
Therefore, I feel a little contempt for others. Even in the face of the current situation, I still don't think Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin are opponents who can negotiate with them on an equal footing.
This cannot be said to be malicious, but purely out of habit. In their hearts, they think that they are superior. They can't help but think that they can send people to negotiate with the other party, which in itself is flattering the other party.
So no matter what kind of conditions they put forward, the other party should hold their noses and accept them, and be grateful.
As a result, the representatives sent by the Guo family from Japan were not very happy once they came into contact with Wu Film Factory and Tan Gong Restaurant.
You must know that this person who accepted a special mission and was so-called "fully responsible" was not even a member of the Guo family.
He was just a deputy general manager with a foreign surname who was hired by Guo (Xin) Company.
That's not all. The key point is that the vice president came to negotiate on behalf of the Guo family. In order to protect the face and interests of the Guo family, he didn't treat others as human beings at all, and the conditions he offered were very disgusting.
First, he chose the responsibility very clearly, saying that the Guo family did not know about the destruction of the restaurant, and that it was some people in Japan who made their own decisions.
There is a certain misunderstanding in this matter, and it will not be beneficial to anyone if it continues.
Therefore, he hoped that both sides could exercise restraint and resolve the matter peacefully as soon as possible.
Speaking of the damage caused by the smashing of Tan Gong Restaurant, the Guo family has always attached great importance to business cooperation with mainland China.
The Guo family was willing to pay US$80,000 to Tan Gong Restaurant for renovation, considering that Tan Gong Restaurant was a mainland enterprise.
On the other hand, the Guo family will not be held accountable for the economic losses suffered by the hotel under the Guo family's name.
However, Tan Gong Restaurant must also formally apologize to the hotels under the Kuok Group in the form of a document and promise to prevent such things from happening again.
Second, on behalf of the Guo family, he requested that Wu Studio must terminate the filming of "Crazy Rich Asians", saying that the film project must be cancelled, and that the Guo family would not make any compensation for this.
If Fog Studios insists on going its own way, it will damage the reputation of the Guo family.
Then the Guo family will not give up, and will hire a team of lawyers to defend their reputation and sue the studio, and collect evidence to file a claim against Fog Studios.
Anyway, it’s just a sentence, consider yourself unlucky, if you don’t obey, I’ll sue you until you go bankrupt.
To put it bluntly, this is a bit like the economic negotiations between China and the United States decades later. It is obvious that the United States and the United States have something to ask for, but they insist on putting on a bad air and talk about "starting from strength" in front of you.
Two more is more than two!
Needless to say, how did Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin feel when faced with such self-righteous negotiations and such brazen demands?
Naturally, they had no interest and couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
In fact, not to mention that they were unwilling to come forward to meet representatives of the Guo family.
Out of resentment for the Guo family's arrogance, Ko Okamoto wasted a week in Singapore.
Ning Weimin also planned to take the medicine according to the prescription and treat this guy well.
He taught Okamoto Akira not to say that he agrees or disagrees, but to treat the other party as if they are nothing.
Just do whatever you need to do, and just have fun with this guy.
It takes until this guy comes to his senses and gets out of here.
So even Okamoto Akira, who was responsible for receiving the other party and delivering the news at the beginning, no longer showed up, and really treated the other party like dried salted fish.
As a result, the vice president was received by the "coffee buffet" just like Akira Okamoto who took the initiative to go to Singapore to get in touch with the Kuok family.
Just two days passed, and the other party couldn't sit still anymore. His forehead was on fire every day, and he was looking for ways to contact Okamoto Akira.
However, even if he blocked Akira Okamoto, at most he would get a reply that was neither salty nor bland.
"I'm sorry, my boss thinks your request is extremely unreasonable and lacks sincerity, so it's difficult to fulfill. It's not my fault. You also said it was a misunderstanding, but you only want us to apologize. For those who damaged our store,
, but you do not impose any punishment. Is this fair? Therefore, the boss has been hesitant whether to agree to you. To be honest, my boss also wants to save face, and the possibility of final approval is really not high. Are you
Shouldn't we also discuss it with the headquarters and see if we can come up with more constructive conditions? Otherwise, I'm worried that your trip to Japan will be in vain."
With just such a move, the opponent was so helpless that he almost vomited three liters of blood.
Facing the constant urging from the Singapore headquarters to get results, and facing Akira Okamoto who was hiding from him like a hide-and-seek every day, the deputy manager who came to negotiate began to find that his job was really difficult, which was quite depressing.
Attitudes also changed dramatically.
The bossy and high-spirited attitude at the beginning was gone.
Instead, he was a little more polite and attentive.
He actually followed Akira Okamoto's request and went to communicate with the headquarters to see if he could agree to step in and order the idiot named Ikuo Shubo who smashed the restaurant to apologize to him in person.
And he became more and more active in trying to reach a consensus with Akira Okamoto in private, and hoped that he could do the work for him to communicate with Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin.
But to be honest, even if he did it, it would be useless to ask Ikuo Suho to apologize.
After this request has been fulfilled, there will be more requests waiting for him to fulfill.
How could Ning Weimin spare him so easily, and how could the Guo family give him so many authorizations.
In particular, he is proud to be a slave of the Guo family.
As long as he doesn't wake up and realize that there are people in this world who can avoid peeing in the Guo family.
As long as he still doesn't know how to respect his opponent from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, it is impossible to give conditions that can truly satisfy Ning Weimin.
In other words, the deputy general manager's failure was almost doomed from the beginning.
In a sense, he is just a tool, and it is only a matter of time before he ends up in despair and leaves here.
The only difference is whether he can understand it early and come back with dignity, or whether he can persist and eventually get out in embarrassment.
Judging from the current situation, this guy still has unrealistic desires in his mind, and he is most likely going to get out of here in embarrassment.
But on the other hand, Akira Okamoto felt really happy from the bottom of his heart.
He loved the mouse game as much as he loved golf.
Don't forget, he also encountered such treatment at the beginning.
The humiliation given to him by the Guo family is engraved in his heart, and he may never forget it in this life.
So comparing the two, how wronged and painful he felt in the past, but how relieved and happy he feels now.
He would rather repay kindness and revenge for the people. This kind of behavior really suits his taste.
In particular, he was very considerate of his subordinate's mood and actually let him personally go into battle to take revenge.
For this reason, he is willing to devote his loyalty forever.
What kind of bullshit sugar kings and Guo family are we fools?
Why are you so shameless and dare to come up to us and demand an apology?
Baga...
Similarly, Guo Kefeng in the capital was also the one who clearly felt that his plan was being hindered, that the situation was getting worse, and that things were not going well.
It turns out that he was indeed wronged.
As the person in charge of the Guo family's grain and oil business, he has spent this year's time and energy on trying to open up the mainland market of the Republic.
He forgot all about sleep and food, worked hard, and did not care about the cost. It can be said that he was betting the future of his career on the mainland market and on this deal.
For no other reason than because opening up the mainland market is extremely important to the future of the Guo family, and its significance is completely incalculable.
If the grain and oil category can be allowed to enter, it will be just the beginning.
In the future, the Kuok Group will definitely use this as a basis to continue to strengthen cooperation with mainland authorities.
It is almost inevitable that as long as a basis of mutual trust is established with the mainland authorities, all the industries in which the Guo family is involved will enter the mainland market, thereby obtaining unimaginable huge profits.
Therefore, this matter can only succeed, and failure is not allowed. This is the consensus between him and the Sugar King Sixth Uncle.
However, he never expected that just when the joint venture with COFCO was finally being negotiated and the work was about to be completed, such a ridiculous thing would happen out of thin air in Singapore.
What's even more ridiculous is that one thing that was supposed to have nothing to do with the mainland business actually affected the progress of the joint venture plan as scheduled in a strange way.
If this matter was ruined, Guo Kefeng would really want to hit him to death.
So he couldn't care less about who caused this disaster, and he didn't have time to think about whether he was wronged or not by wiping someone else's butt.
Even if it was just to keep his own oil cooperation project, he had to act quickly to reduce the negative impact of this matter as much as possible.
So he not only contacted the Chongwen District Service Bureau and the Temple of Heaven Park as soon as possible, but also personally visited the heads of the two units, hoping to make compensation in person and explain the misunderstanding.
In order to improve the impression of the Agricultural University experts on the Guo family, he also hoped to be recommended by people from COFCO, so that he could visit the Agricultural University and donate money to the Agricultural University to resolve the conflict as soon as possible.
But the result, he thought it was good, but in fact it had little effect.
The service bureau is an official organization. After understanding his purpose, his attitude did not change and he was quite good.
But when it came to substantive issues, the other party began to talk about him, and started to deal with it in a bureaucratic tone.
Regarding Guo Kefeng's request to restrain Ning Weimin, the person in charge of the service bureau said that there was an agreement when they signed the management contract with Ning Weimin.
As a shareholder, the Service Bureau only makes purely financial investments and does not interfere with actual operations.
What's more, Ning Weimin has exceeded the performance targets every year. For such a shopkeeper, they have no right to ask about the restaurant's management issues.
Even asking more is disrespectful and distrustful of the meritorious officials.
Therefore, if there is any disagreement between the Guo family's hotel and the overseas branch of Tan Gong Restaurant, and there is really a misunderstanding, it would be best for the Guo family to send someone to negotiate with Ning Weimin in person, and they will not intervene.
In this way, the service bureau was extremely sophisticated, and a Tai Chi pusher blocked Guo Kefeng's request without leaving any trace.
When we got to the Temple of Heaven Park, the attitude was much worse.
Originally, everyone got along well with each other at first, but when the other party heard about Guo Kefeng's intention to come, the top leader of the Temple of Heaven slammed the table and yelled at him.
She even shouted words like "If I have a gun, I will kill you right now!"
Not to mention that Guo Kefeng wanted the other party to put pressure on Ning Weimin.
At this time, if there wasn't someone blocking him, Guo Kefeng would have received a few punches on the spot.
Guo Kefeng, whose face turned pale with fear, had never seen an old man with such a hot temper.
Even if his hair is completely white, he still wants to kill him, and he is not afraid of stretching his arms and legs.
So I quickly tucked my tail between my legs and left.
After he came out, he learned from the person who sent him off that the director he met was a worker and peasant cadre.
During the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the banditry around the capital was cleared, he killed three bandits in Xiaotangshan with pistols. This was a man who had truly killed people and seen blood.
And the worst thing you can do is protect your shortcomings.
Not to mention foreign businessmen like Guo Kefeng, even the superiors of the Tourism Bureau and the district government would scold the garden director if they dared to make such a request.
The other party also said that Guo Kefeng's move was really counterproductive, and it was okay that the principal didn't know.
Knowing this, I might as well make an international long-distance call to encourage Ning Weimin to support him in continuing to fight and seek justice for himself.
After hearing these words, Guo Kefeng was almost crying.
He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he quickly got into his car and ran away.
As for the experts and professors at the Agricultural University, their attitude was even more clear and thorough, and they did not want to see him at all.
How his words were delivered through the people of COFCO, and how the reply was delivered back through the people of COFCO.
People say that agriculture is the foundation of the country, and there are many technologies in agricultural universities that are not allowed to be visited by foreigners.
Academic donations are not necessary.
Agricultural universities have funds allocated by the state and also have commercial projects funded by people who are enthusiastic about helping farmers. If they accept another donation from a foreign grain dealer, they themselves will not be able to explain it to their superiors.
As experts, their suggestions for joint venture projects are just to discuss the matter and consider the safety of grain and oil in advance.
There was no deliberate targeting, so Guo Kefeng didn't have to think too much and it was more serious to adjust the cooperation plan more perfectly.
So Guo Kefeng, who was running into obstacles everywhere, was really exhausted and could not hide his disappointment.
He didn't understand why such a trivial matter, such as the restaurant being smashed, was so important to these people's eyesight.
They even went so far as to ruin their large-scale grain and oil cooperation project worth hundreds of millions. What on earth were these people thinking?
What's even more strange is that this is the first time he encountered a situation where the silver bullet offensive didn't work.
Aren’t these mainland government agencies supposed to be short of money?
Otherwise, they probably wouldn't invest in opening restaurants overseas.
What's more, based on his experience, most people in mainland China are afraid of poverty and are blinded by money.
During the year he came to the mainland, every time he donated even if it was only 100,000 or 200,000, he would be treated as a guest of honor by people from the mainland.
But this time his always-on-target method failed. What a hell!
You know, he plans to give one million yuan to every place! One million yuan!
Why are these people not moved?
In fact, let alone him, even the people at COFCO feel very strange about the development of this matter.
This person is also a second generation, so some of his words are blunt.
"Hey, Mr. Guo, why are you having such trouble with this? It's strange. You, a foreign businessman, should be a hot commodity wherever you go."
"Now I think this Ning Weimin seems a bit interesting. How much do you know about this guy? I really want to meet him now."
"To be honest, there are very few masters who can give your Guo family indigestion both overseas and in the mainland at the same time. This person is really quite capable..."
Guo Kefeng only felt dizzy and his head was getting bigger and bigger.
You actually said this to my face, this...should be considered an insult, right? ()
