Chapter 446: Negotiations Completely Failed, Japanese Automakers Were the First to Leave Longguo

After hanging up the phone with Chen Xing, Wang Shan dialed Zhang Jinzong's phone number and said directly: "Old Zhang, tell that guy where to come from and where to go back."

"Ah? Drive him away directly?"

Zhang Jinzong was confused, what are you doing?

Drive people away?

So heartless?

You must know that Saitoi is the chairman of the FSA Financial Agency, in charge of the domestic economy of the island country, and is a high-level member of their country's financial system. Is this really a direct expulsion?

"It doesn't seem to be a problem to just drive him away. Let's do this. You go and have a drink with him, and I won't go. I have to go to Treasure Island."

As soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, he added: "Okay, that's it. Hang up the phone. Let's talk next time."

"king…"

"Dudu——"

Before Zhang Jinzong could speak, the call had been hung up.

Zhang Jinzong looked at the page that had returned to the mobile phone desktop, glared and cursed angrily: "Well, you Wang Dayan, this is throwing the problem of the century to me, don't let me catch you, otherwise I will make you suck it." oxygen."

After venting his anger, he walked back and forth in the room, trying to make up a reason so that everyone would not be so embarrassed.

Of course.

The most important thing is that he wants to retain Japanese capital.

Japanese capital accounts for a considerable part of the Dragon Kingdom's economic system, not to mention 20%, but certainly 7%.

Because both Alibaba and Penguin have Japanese capital as their shareholders, and there are many companies, large and small, that have Japanese capital injected into them.

In addition to direct capital injection and holding, there are also a large number of joint ventures. The most typical ones are car companies, which either cooperate with Japanese companies, or cooperate with German or American companies, such as BMW Brilliance, Didu Mercedes-Benz, FAW Audi, etc.

An automobile company that can independently build cars and achieve high quality?

It is no exaggeration to say that one slap can be counted.

"Forget it about this mess, let them find a solution." Zhang Jinzong thought for five minutes, and a few hairs fell out, but he couldn't think of any good solution.

Now his goal is very clear, he just wants to meet Chen Xing and discuss the Nikkei 225 stock market.

Chen Xing's absence meant rejection.

You have refused. It is definitely not possible for someone to let someone slaughter him just because of a meal or a few nice words. This financial game between the dragon country and the island country is unavoidable.

Zhang Jinzong picked up his mobile phone and called the leadership team in Shencheng: "Xiaowei, just hold on as steady as possible, and it will take one day. As for the rest, don't ask. Okay, hang up the phone." , chatting later.”

"???"

Zhang Wei was completely stunned.

What's this?

What is this thing called?

He hasn't spoken yet. This is a task forced on him. Why are you delaying it? He has already made it clear that he wants to see Chen Xing!

"Chief Zhang, you have hurt me!"

Zhang Wei secretly pounded the table, then dialed the phone number of his subordinates and said: "Xiao Wang, regarding the matter of Chen Xing and the FSA Financial Services Agency, you asked someone to stabilize Saitoi, entertain with the highest standards, and have no upper limit on the budget. You must hold him back as long as possible, do you understand?"

"ah?"

Xiao Wang was also confused and quickly emphasized: "Mayor, it's not that I don't want to delay, but that Xiao Baga insists on having a meal with Chen Xing tonight..."

"Then you can't lie?"

Zhang Wei pointed it out directly.

"Oh, oh, you can still lie, then I understand, I'll tell them." Xiao Wang suddenly understood and responded quickly.

The news was passed layer by layer. When it reached Duan Peifu's ears, he was confused and asked: "You asked me to lie to stabilize Saitoi? What the hell am I trying to do? People say that Chen Xing is at the base and has already communicated with him." We have a showdown!"

"What? I have to think for myself!"

"It's not Secretary Chen..."

"Dudu——"

The call was hung up directly. Duan Peifu listened to the busy signal on the phone. Now he was confused and a little at a loss.

Let him find a way to fool Saitoi?

How to fool.

It’s impossible to create a fake Chen Xing, right?

He also saw that the superior leaders did not want to take the blame, so they expressed their stance like this.

Because Saitoi cannot get the answer he wants, he may withdraw Japanese capital, and whoever takes the blame will be punished.

"We usually call each other brothers and sisters, but now it's better. When something happens, they all treat me as their brother-in-law. Grandma, my career is really deep in the sea."

After Duan Peifu sighed and accepted his fate, he returned to the office resolutely.

Seeing Duan Peifu come back, Saitoi, who was drinking tea by himself, quickly put down his tea cup, stared into Duan Peifu's eyes and asked: "How's it going, Director Duan? With you personally taking action, things should fall into place, right?"

"Oh, I want it too!"

Duan Peifu's face was a little ugly. After complaining in his heart, he made up an excuse and said: "That's it, Chen Xing...Chen Xing, um...Chen Xing seems to have to catch a plane to the Imperial Capital. Yes, he has to catch a plane to the Imperial Capital, so tonight Can’t attend the dinner.”

"Going to the Imperial Capital?"

Saitoi expressed doubts.

"That's right, let's go to the Imperial Capital." After Duan Peifu found the reason, his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat. He planned to fool him first.

"That's just right. I'm going to the Imperial Capital as well. I'll check out the latest flight. Maybe I'll catch him in the first class cabin."

Saitoi skillfully took out his mobile phone.

"I misremembered. It seems that I set off just now. Why don't you stay here for a few days, Mr. Saitoi? When Chen Xing comes back, I will immediately arrange for you to meet."

Duan Peifu was obviously a little panicked. He finally understood why he couldn't lie.

When you tell a lie, you need to use other lies to cover up the first lie. If you are lucky, it may not be exposed, but if you are unlucky or there are obvious loopholes, all the lies will be like an Amino domino. If they are all discovered, the consequences will be extremely serious.

"Already set off?"

Saitoi frowned secretly.

He glanced at the empty chat box and directly exposed Duan Peifu's lies: "You are lying to me. Chen Xing is still at Longxing Base. Director Duan, why are you telling this lie?"

Saitoi's eyes were blazing, and his tone seemed to be pressing, which was extremely unkind.

It's not that he wants to be aggressive, it's mainly because the task he carries is too heavy, which involves the island country's financial system.

As long as the top-ranked countries in the world basically have stock markets.

The stock market, also called the capital market, is a super reservoir, which also reflects the rise and fall of the domestic economy to a certain extent.

Why does the country engage in stock market?

The reason is simple. The stock market can allow companies to obtain listing financing, help companies develop, and attract a large amount of funds to idle in it without paying interest.

To put it bluntly, the stock market and property market share financial pressure for banks.

If there is no stock market and property market, then people's money will flow to banks, and bank deposits generally need to pay interest. If all the money is in the bank, currency expansion and depreciation will happen in minutes.

Of course.

There are also two key roles for the stock market.

The first is to find a good place for pension funds.

2 is to earn interest on users’ deposits.

Maybe many people don't know why banks can pay interest on deposits for no reason, but you only need to change your thinking and imagine that the bank is asking you to borrow money for investment and you will understand.

Nowadays, the island country's property market is sluggish, the stock market is also sluggish, and there is also the impact of US dollar interest rate hikes. If the Longxing Group continues to exert such pressure, the island country's economy may collapse.

"well!"

Seeing that the lie was exposed in person, Duan Peifu sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to be the middleman to help you match up, but it's just that this matter is very difficult to handle. I hope President Saitoi can understand my difficulty."

What he said was so obvious that even he, the director of the Foreign Trade Administration, said it was difficult to handle, indicating that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

The current world situation is a life-and-death situation, and negotiation is simply not possible.

Even taking a step back, Chen Xing is willing to discuss with Saitoi. Is the island country willing to hand over high-end equipment design drawings and shared technologies in the semiconductor field and other fields?

Obviously, this is a dead end.

Your island country is unwilling to hand over, and Longxing Group urgently needs these things to completely get rid of its dependence on third-party companies. This is destined to be irreconcilable and can only be done with real guns.

"excuse me."

Saitoi stood up with a sullen face.

He left the Foreign Trade Administration Bureau without saying another word.

…

After returning to the hotel, Saitoi immediately contacted the island country's Ministry of Finance and senior leaders of the financial system via satellite phone.

After briefly explaining the situation, the financial system sectors of the island country were collectively shocked.

"What? Don't want to talk?"

"Chen Xing, Longxing Group, and Long Guo, who are behind it, want to completely blow up our financial system!"

"Baga, fight back! Fight back immediately!"

The FSA Financial Department, Ministry of Finance, Foreign Trade Management Association, and Investment Management Department of the island country have all begun to take action.

Imperial City time.

It's ten o'clock sharp.

The mailboxes of the heads of Japanese companies stationed in Longguo all received an unusual email with the title:

"Complete the business transfer as soon as possible and transfer the industry to Southeast Asia. 》

"what happened?"

"Are things going to change completely?"

"We actually want to withdraw from the Dragon Kingdom?"

The heads of Japanese companies who saw the email were collectively stunned. They had never thought of leaving Long Country because they grew up in Long Country and were proficient in Chinese.

The general manager of GAC Toyota was the first to respond. Yushu Shiota issued a group announcement without any hesitation, requesting to stop vehicle production and prepare to evacuate technical engineers.

Toyota took a stand, and Honda also took a stand, choosing to stop producing cars overnight and giving workers a week off.

The sudden change caused Zeng Hong, the CEO of GAC Group, to slam the table on the spot and cursed angrily: "What the hell happened? Who gave the order to stop production?"

He had already gone to bed, but suddenly his subordinates said that two factories of Honda and Toyota had chosen to suspend operations, and an official announcement was made.

Anyone who is familiar with GAC Group knows that it is able to rank among the four major car manufacturers in the country largely because it relies on Japanese companies.

Even if the vehicles of GAC Toyota and GAC Honda are not sold nationwide, their dominant position in the second-hand car market can prove that they have really made GAC Group a lot of money.

Why does the second-hand car market favor Honda and Toyota, two Japanese models?

Two words, durable.

Japanese cars are very popular among car owners because of their durability.

"Okay...it seems that the talks between the Longxing Group and the island country have broken down. Now Japanese capital will gradually withdraw from the Dragon Country, just like Western capital." The secretary responded tremblingly.

They completely didn't expect that before the car war started, just one negotiation would peel off a layer of skin from their Guangzhou Automobile Group.

"Longxing Group..."

"Why is Longxing Group involved again?"

Zeng Hong is really in trouble. The negotiation between your two families collapsed, and now it is Guangzhou Automobile Group that suffers. This is an unreasonable disaster.

After thinking for a few seconds, he made a decisive decision: "Immediately contact the two general managers of Toyota and Honda and tell them that I will be waiting for them in Conference Room 1 of GAC Group."

"Understood."

"Be fast, be fast!"

"Okay boss!"

The moment the phone was hung up, Zeng Hong hurriedly looked for clothes and planned to rush back to the company.

Mrs. Zeng, who was wearing pink pajamas on the bed and exposed a large area of ​​the scenery, glanced at the time, looked at Zeng Hong who was getting dressed with sleepy eyes and asked puzzledly: "Old Zeng, why are you going?"

"Something happened at the company. I need to rush back." Zeng Hong didn't want to explain too much, so he put on his belt and walked out.

"What could happen over there?"

Mrs. Zeng was a little confused.

In her opinion, Guangzhou Automobile Group is just a machine responsible for collecting money. She doesn't need to pay much attention to it at all. She can just sit back and make money.

why would you say so?

If Toyota and Honda want to enter the Long Country market, according to regulations, they need to find local car companies in Long Country to cooperate, and the profits can be split 50-50 before they are allowed to enter.

In other words, automobile manufacturing, automobile after-sales, and automobile technology are all provided by Japanese companies, but GAC Group basically does nothing and can take away 50% of the profits.

Not only Honda and Toyota, but also Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi want to enter the Dragon Country market. They all need to find a local car company to cooperate. Only local production of cars can be allowed to be sold.

Originally, the country wanted local car companies to take this opportunity to learn advanced foreign car-making technologies, but they did not expect that they would not be able to learn. There are too many patented technologies for fuel vehicles, and some high-end production machinery and equipment are not available in Longguo. .

Over time, these local car companies have lived a life of "rent collection".

"It's a big deal. It's so big that it can't be done. Guangzhou Automobile Group is about to undergo a reshuffle." Zeng Hong looked back at his wife, and then walked out quickly.

at the same time.

The CEOs of FAW Group, Changan Automobile Group, Dongfeng Group and other joint venture car companies with Japan were woken up by the ringing of their phones late at night.

At first, they were all furious, but then they all panicked and chose to return to the company overnight to discuss countermeasures.

The departure of Japanese-owned cars is no joke.

However, these people are not reluctant to let them go, but they are reluctant to let the island country's engineers leave. Once they lack technical assistance, their car-making technology will decline rapidly.

…

And on the other side.

Dragon Kingdom Magic City.

SAIC Group headquarters base.

Boss Chen Hong has returned to the company and convened a special emergency meeting. All six decision-makers arrived and everyone was ready.

"The automotive field may really be about to be reshuffled. According to my informant, it is said that the talks between Longxing Group and the FSA Financial Services Agency of the island country have collapsed, and the Japanese joint venture car collective has announced that it will carry out industrial transfer. This has sounded the alarm for us."

Chen Hong's tone was extremely solemn. He was a person who was prepared for danger in times of peace.

Although SAIC does not cooperate with Japanese car companies, it has inextricable cooperation with Western car companies, such as General Motors and Volkswagen.

No one expected that this financial battle would actually reach the automotive field, and now Chen Hong must find a way to survive.

"So what do we do now?"

someone asked.

At this moment, someone stood up, looked directly at Chen Hong and said: "I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an excellent opportunity to re-divide the automotive market share."

"You go on."

Chen Hong said with interest.

"I guess it won't take long for Japanese cars to withdraw, and American cars may also withdraw. At that time, it will be time to accumulate domestic products, and we happen to have this foundation."

The words fell.

Chen Hong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Not to mention, what a great opportunity!

If the Japanese joint venture cars leave, there will be a gap in the Longguo automobile market. Whoever can eat it will have an increased share of the cake.

"What about fuel and new energy?"

Chen Hong asked again.

At present, SAIC Group has reserved two new energy vehicles, one is a family car and the other is an SUV.

Not only SAIC, but also car companies such as BAIC, GAC, Changan, BYD, etc. have already stocked up on their own new energy vehicles, waiting for whoever comes out first to light the fuse.

"New energy is the future trend."

"That's right, new energy."

"I heard that new energy vehicles have special license plates. The government's attitude is very clear, which is to support the rapid development of new energy vehicles."

"I also support new energy."

In the conference room, almost everyone supported the continued development of new energy vehicles.

Originally, they were not optimistic about new energy vehicles, but since Tesla and Pilot 001 entered the road test stage, they discovered what is the future development trend of automobiles.

Today's fuel vehicles are equivalent to the push-button mobile phones of 2007, with not many uses. The main focus of new energy vehicles is intelligence, which is equivalent to the smartphone era of 11 years old. This made the bosses of Longguo car companies smell something unusual.

It is precisely for this reason that Longguo's car companies have all started the "True Fragrance Law" and quietly begun to reserve new energy vehicles.

"Then let's get another new energy vehicle." Chen Hong made the decision immediately.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, when will our Zhiji car be officially released?"

Thanks to the technical assistance of foreign car companies, SAIC Group built the first Zhiji car in just three months, and its performance in all aspects is not inferior to the parameters leaked by Tesla.

"Just wait a little longer."

Chen Hong did not dare to light the fuse rashly.

He knows very well that BYD, GAC, FAW and other friendly companies now have new energy vehicles in reserve. They are all waiting for Tesla or Linghang 001 to be the first to announce the parameters, and then adjust the parameters themselves to take advantage of the situation later.

…

Shencheng, BYD Group.

Boss Wang Fu also received the news and rushed back to his company to hold a meeting.

"Japanese car companies have announced their withdrawal, so this is our opportunity. Boss, we can no longer wait for Tesla and Pilot Motors to release it first!"

"That's right, we'll attack when it's time to attack. Besides, our new energy vehicles are not vegetarian, they can't surpass them!"

"It's time for a press conference."

"Boss, please decide quickly whether you want to announce the press conference to the public or not!"

Wang Fu listened to everyone's anxious urging and was a little shaken for a moment, but finally restrained himself and said in a deep voice: "The first bird will be shot. We cannot ignite this thread."

"But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Someone persuaded me again.

"This is an opportunity, but it is also an abyss. Don't you see that other car companies are waiting?" Wang Fu's tone was a bit colder.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to hold a press conference for new energy vehicles, but that he doesn’t want to stand out and be besieged by fellow car companies.

why would you say so?

Take mobile phones as an example.

When Apple 8 was released first, Chen Xing was asked to run scores. As a result, every parameter of Apple 8 was crushed by the latter.

You have 14 nanometers, I have 7 nanometers, you have 7 nanometers, and my computing power is stronger than yours. Let’s see if you dare to continue to release it in advance.

Whoever launches first will suffer. This applies not only to electronic products, but also to cars.

Seeing that Wang Fu insisted on attacking later, the others said no more.

…

Shenzhen star hotel.

presidential suite.

Saitoi sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, like a ferocious wild wolf.

He really didn't expect that the Dragon Kingdom and the Island Kingdom would reach such a step, nor did he expect that the two countries would take the lead in starting a financial war.

I thought that if I divest myself of capital, Duan Peifu and other leadership team members would retain him and apologize.

result…

No one called him.

This made six words flash in Saitoi's mind, that is, "If you want to fight, then fight."

"No one has contacted us for so long. It seems that they have been peeking at Nikkei 225 for a long time. How should we respond now?" asked an accompanying member of the FSA Financial Services Agency.

"Wait for two days. If no one contacts us yet, I will make them pay. The car is just the beginning!"

Saitoi said solemnly.

There are countless Longguo companies that the island country has invested in. Now the car companies are leaving just as a warning. If no one contacts him within two days, he doesn't mind completely overturning the table.

At a time when the automotive and financial circles were undergoing rapid changes, Chen Xing, who was sitting at his desk, had already witnessed his opponents taking the lead.

"Withdraw the car companies?"

"Ah…"

He sneered, not caring at all about the withdrawal of Japanese car companies.

His original plan was for Tesla to hold a car launch conference first, and then he would slowly adjust the Pilot 001 car according to the parameters, so as to achieve the effect of striking first and killing the car with one strike.

But he really didn’t expect that car companies would choose to hold their breath underwater.

Are you not going to hold a new car launch conference?

Then I won’t hold it either.

This is a secret fight to see who can hold it in.

"Since no one is willing to publish it first, then I will be the lead." Chen Xing murmured to himself.

Originally, his plan was to strike later and look at Tesla's configuration first, but now the FSA Financial Services Agency wants to use Japanese car companies to withdraw from the Dragon Country market to put pressure on Chen Xing. What can he do? I can only eat my share of Japanese cars with tears in my eyes!

Thinking of this, Chen Xing picked up the mobile phone on the table, found Rebus' WeChat account, and sent him a voice message saying: "The plan has changed and we are going to hold a press conference."

"call out--"

The message was successfully delivered.

Originally, Chen Xing thought that Rebus was already asleep and did not call to disturb his sleep, but less than half a minute after the message was sent, a call came from the Imperial Capital.

"You haven't slept yet, brother Lei." Chen Xing said hello after pressing the answer button.

"I want to sleep too, but you kid made such a big noise, how can I sleep?" After Rebus finished complaining, his tone became equally serious and asked: "You have really decided to hold the meeting before Tesla Press conference?”

Originally, Chen Xing, Rebus, and Ren Guofei had discussed it. After the Tesla press conference, they would make adjustments based on the vehicle parameters to ensure that the Pilot 001 car could fully crush Tesla and let Masik's The "Gamble Agreement" cost me even my pants.

But now, Chen Xing actually wants to hold a press conference and wants to be the first to light the fuse, but the plan is really not as good as the change.

"Yes." Chen Xing responded and gave the reason: "The island country wants to threaten us with Honda and Toyota withdrawing from the Longguo market. I will definitely not go as they want. Besides, it has been a long time for Pilot 001 to be tested on the road, so it is time. Once it became an industry benchmark, domestic car companies struggled to catch up.”
