A few days later, Meng Xiaobai got on a plane to the island country. Accompanying him were two bodyguards, two assistants, and Ruan Song, who insisted on going with him.
"I'm talking about the pine nut master." Meng Xiaobai complained, "The Spring Festival is coming soon. If you don't stay at home, why go to an island country?"
"Don't mention it!" Ruan Song lamented, "Now I will be urged to get married as soon as I get home. My mother said that if I don't take my girlfriend back for one day, I won't be allowed to enter the house!"
"So you're looking for a girlfriend?" Meng Xiaobai teased, "What, Miss Misa hasn't blocked you yet?"
"Are you kidding me?" Ruan Song said exaggeratedly, "When I was thin before, I was a school idol and was chased by a lot of girls. Although I have gained weight now, my charm is still there."
"That little girl Aono Misa is obsessed with me now. If she had said she missed me, I wouldn't have come to the island country."
"Blow, just keep blowing!" Meng Xiaobai gave him a look of contempt. But having said that, Ruan Song seems to have really lost some fat in the past few months, and he is no longer as bulky as before.
When he got off the plane, Meng Xiaobai was really surprised because Aono Misa picked him up at the airport, obviously to pick up Ruan Song.
At this time, the temperature in the island country was still very low. It had just snowed in Tokyo yesterday, but Misa Aono was wearing boots and shorts, exposing her legs. She did not wear bare leg artifacts, and her skin was so cold that her skin turned blue.
"Misa, why don't you wear cotton pants? Come on, put them on, don't freeze your legs." Ruan Song took off his coat and put it on Misa Aono. Because the size is too big, it can directly cover the legs.
"Ruan Songjun, I'm not cold, thank you." Aono Misa was still a little embarrassed.
"You guys talk about that, let's go." Meng Xiaobai said, and the people sent by Sun Yi to receive him also arrived at the airport.
"Ruan Song, take good care of Mesha!" Meng Xiaobai gave him a "you know" look before leaving.
…
Meng Xiaobai and his party stayed in Tokyo for a few days and signed new supply contracts with several telecom operators. Without exception, because of the popularity of Mars smartphones in the island country, every operator hopes to increase their purchases. On this trip,
The orders alone brought in nearly 30 billion yen, which was considered a bumper harvest.
In Sun Yi's office in the SoftBank Group Building, Sun Yi had been chatting with Meng Xiaobai for more than an hour, and the content was naturally about matters related to cooperation and developing the island country market.
"Mr. Meng, I admire you very much. I think you and the deep space technology you created will become a unique enterprise in the global technology industry in the next ten years."
"In order to facilitate our cooperation and the development of deep space technology in the island country market, I hereby sincerely invite you to become an external director of our SoftBank Group."
When Sun Yi finished these words, Meng Xiaobai was still a little stunned. He said in surprise: "Mr. Sun, do you want to invite me to become a director of SoftBank?"
You must know that the two companies are only in a cooperative relationship. After all, Meng Xiaobai has no reason to become a director of SoftBank. He does not have any shares in SoftBank.
"Yes." Sun Yi nodded, "I think we two will have great achievements in the future. If you agree, I can transfer some of the shares of SoftBank Group to you. At the same time, you will also have the right to vote on major decisions of SoftBank Group and enjoy
Fundamental Rights of SoftBank Group Directors.”
"Sorry, Mr. Sun, I still can't understand." Meng Xiaobai always felt that there must be something wrong with the benefits of being delivered to your door.
Sun Yi knew that he would not accept it hastily, so he said: "Mr. Meng, there is no need to refuse in a hurry. You can listen to what I have to say before making a decision."
"Please tell me." Meng Xiaobai nodded slightly.
"Mr. Meng should know that I was born in an ordinary family and am not a traditional power in any island country. I have built SoftBank Group into a world-class enterprise through hard work for most of my life." Sun Yi began to tell.
"This is my life's work. This commercial building looks grand, but in fact its foundation is not very solid." Sun Yi said, "In the island country, mining, manufacturing, energy, arms, real estate and other industries have all been destroyed.
Those family conglomerates have monopoly!"
"I have tried my best but failed to find a place in these national pillar industries. Instead, SoftBank Group's industries are slowly being eroded by these consortiums. These consortiums simply cannot tolerate me."
"In recent years, SoftBank Group's assets have been shrinking. Fortunately, our overseas investments have made a lot of returns, which can support it."
Having said this, Sun Yi sighed, "I am getting old and my energy is not as good as before. I don't know if I can survive in the future. So I want to cooperate with you to jointly develop these industries."
Meng Xiaobai did not trust him just because of his "confidential" chat, and said: "Mr. Sun, if I become a director of SoftBank, wouldn't I be standing on the opposite side of the island nation's consortium?"
"Mr. Meng, you should understand one thing." Sun Yi said, "This is an island country, and you are Chinese! Deep Space Technology is a Chinese enterprise, and you have been on the opposite side of them from the beginning."
"I was born in an island country, but my ancestral home is China. For this reason, I am often criticized in my own country. Let alone you."
Meng Xiaobai naturally knew this truth. He smiled and said: "If I become a director of SoftBank, as long as Deep Space Technology takes action in the island country, I will definitely encounter crazy suppression from the local consortium. What can I gain by doing this?"
"A lot!" Sun Yi emphasized, "Even if you don't become a director of SoftBank, they will still suppress you. The island nation's consortium is inherently xenophobic, not to mention that there are Americans behind the scenes! Become a director of SoftBank and your industry in China
, SoftBank Group will fully support it.”
"Don't the Chinese people say that a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake? No matter how powerful you are, you are just a company. As long as the island government imposes restrictions, you will definitely be unable to move forward. And becoming a director of SoftBank is completely different in nature."
Meng Xiaobai also knew this truth, and he still needed to think about it seriously. He said: "Mr. Sun, this matter is of great importance. I have to think about it for a few days."
When Sun Yi heard what he said, he knew that half the success was achieved. He smiled and said: "Of course. Mr. Meng can travel around the island country these days. I will arrange for someone to accompany him. In five days, I will hold a birthday banquet at the Jiuzhou Island Villa.
, I hope Mr. Meng will appreciate it. At that time, I will also introduce some business friends to get to know each other."
"Definitely." Meng Xiaobai said.
Back at the hotel, Meng Xiaobai had a video call with the company's senior executives to discuss the matter.
"Mr. Meng, this old fox obviously wants to use us as gunmen and let us fight to the death with the island country's consortium, while he takes advantage from behind!" Huang Yu said.
"Old Pan, what do you think?" Meng Xiaobai asked Pan Yu. In business, Pan Yu has more experience than them.
He has had his ups and downs, and has now grown into one of the top management talents in deep space technology.
Pan Yu moved his brows and thought deeply: "In fact, what he said makes sense. As long as we want to make money from the islanders, we will inevitably collide with local consortiums. Because what we do is all high-tech industries.
They will definitely take action at that time."
"In island countries, because we are foreign investors, we have no advantage to take advantage of. Moreover, the governments of island countries may also add insult to injury, just like Carlos Ghosn of France before."
"Carlos Ghosn? Tell me." Meng Xiaobai said.
"Carlos Ghosn, who holds Brazilian, Lebanese and French nationalities, is the chairman of Renault of France." Pan Yu said.
"Under his prompting, the alliance between French Renault and Japan's Nissan became the largest automobile alliance in the world. Later, Mitsubishi Motors also joined to form the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, headed by Carlos Ghosn.
ceo.”
"In the merger, Renault held 43% of Nissan's shares, while Nissan only owned 15% of Renault's company, which caused dissatisfaction among Nissan's top executives. They announced that Ghosn's CEO position would be abolished, and Ghosn did not sit still.
, he announced that he would make business adjustments.”
"Just after Ghosn announced his plan, the Tokyo District Supervisory Office of the island country suddenly arrested Ghosn, and he was detained for a year. Until the end of 2019, Ghosn hid in a musical instrument case to evade security inspection and fled the island country on a private plane."
"We don't know exactly how many interests are entangled behind this." Pan Yu became serious, "But behind Nissan Motors is one of the six major consortiums in the island country, the Fuji Consortium; behind Mitsubishi Motors is one of the six major consortiums, the Mitsubishi Consortium.
."
"Think about it, how powerful these consortiums are in the island country! As long as their interests are violated, it's not surprising that nothing can happen!"
"So, agreeing to SoftBank's terms is not bad?" Huang Yu asked.
"We have nothing to lose by promising SoftBank. If they want to use us, we can also use them and each other. Having another ally in the island country will make it easier for us to expand the island country market!" Pan Yu said.
"Actually, you can agree." Meng Xiaobai also agreed with Pan Yu's point of view, "But you can't agree so easily. You have to show your attitude. In addition, we also need to draw up a charter on how to negotiate and cooperate."
"right."
Meng Xiaobai must develop the market of island countries. Not only that, he also wants to develop the markets of South Korea, Australia, Europe, North and South America, and the world!
There is only one reason, he needs money, money is resources, and he needs resources from all over the world! This money is not because he wants to spend it himself, but because he wants to develop super technology, so he needs so much money.
Rockets, satellites, space stations, nuclear fusion, particle collider, etc., these super science and technology projects, even big countries like China and the United States cannot afford them! What is the research and development of deep space technology? Of course, it gathers people from all over the world.
Wealth and resources can do it!
While Meng Xiaobai was planning how to use technological products to enter the island country, his doorbell rang, and a clear female voice asked outside: "Hello, is this the residence of Mr. Meng Xiaobai?"
