Technology company, I will become the light of China!

After hanging up the phone with Chen Xing, Wang Shan called Zhang Jinzong and said directly: "Old Zhang, tell that Teng to go back to where he came from."

"Ah? Just drive him away?"

Zhang Jinzong was confused. What was going on?
Drive them away?

So heartless?

You have to know that Saito Ii is the chairman of the FSA Financial Services Agency, in charge of the domestic economy of the island country, and a senior figure in their country's financial system. Was he really expelled directly?
"It doesn't seem like it would be a good idea to just kick him out. How about this, you go and have a couple of drinks with him, and I won't go. I have to go to Formosa."

Wang Shan just finished speaking and added: "Okay, it's decided. I'm hanging up now. We'll talk next time."

"king…"

"Dudu-"

Before Zhang Jinzong could speak, the phone was hung up.

Zhang Jinzong looked at the page that had returned to the desktop of his mobile phone, glared at it and cursed: "Wang Dayan, you are throwing the problem of the century to me. Don't let me catch you, or I will definitely force you to breathe oxygen."

After venting his anger, he paced back and forth in the room, trying to come up with a reason so that everyone wouldn't 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 Longguo's economic system. If not 20%, it must be 7%.

Because whether it is Alibaba or Penguin, their shareholders have Japanese capital, and there are also many companies, large and small, that have Japanese capital injections.

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

An automobile company that can independently build cars and produce high-quality ones?

It is no exaggeration to say that they can be counted on one hand.

"Forget about this mess, let's just let them figure out a solution." Zhang Jinzong thought for five minutes, and his hair almost fell out, but he just couldn't think of any good solution.

Now their goal is very clear, which is to meet Chen Xing and discuss the Nikkei 225 stock market.

Chen Xing’s refusal to meet means rejection.

Since you have already refused, they certainly won't allow themselves to be taken advantage of just for 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 phone and called the leadership team in Shenzhen City, saying, "Xiaowei, please try to keep the people stable. You can delay it for one day at a time. As for other things, don't ask. Okay, I'm hanging up now. We'll talk later."

"???"

Zhang Wei was completely stunned.

What's this?

What is this thing called?
He hasn't said anything yet, this is forcing the task on him, and he's still dragging it out. How can he drag it out? People have made it clear that they want to meet Chen Xing!
"Commander Zhang, you have caused me so much trouble!"

Zhang Wei secretly pounded the table, then called his subordinate and said, "Xiao Wang, regarding the matter between Chen Xing and the island country's FSA, you have someone stabilize Saito Jing, treat him with the highest standards, and have an unlimited budget. You must delay him as long as possible. Do you understand?"

"what?"

Xiao Wang was also confused, and quickly emphasized: "Mayor, it's not that I don't want to delay, but that little bastard insisted on having dinner with Chen Xing tonight..."

"Then you won't lie?"

Zhang Wei pointed it out directly.

"Oh, oh, they can even lie? Then I understand, I'll tell them." Xiao Wang suddenly realized and responded quickly.

The news was passed down layer by layer. When it reached Duan Peifu's ears, he was confused and asked, "You asked me to lie to calm Saito Jing? Why the hell am I lying? They said Chen Xing is in the base and has already confronted us!"

"What? I want me to figure it out myself!"

"It's not Secretary Chen..."

"Dudu-"

The call was hung up directly. Duan Peifu listened to the busy tone on the phone. He was completely confused and at a loss.

Let him find a way to fool Saito I?

How to fool.

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

He also realized that the superiors did not want to take the blame, so they made such statements.

Because Saito Ii cannot get the answer he wants, Japanese investment may be withdrawn, and whoever takes the blame will be criticized.

"We usually call each other brothers, but now that something has happened, they treat me as their adopted brother. Damn, my career is really deep in the sea."

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

Seeing Duan Peifu coming back, Qi Tengjing, who was drinking tea by himself, quickly put down his teacup, stared at Duan Peifu's eyes and asked, "How is it, Director Duan? With your personal involvement, things should be settled smoothly, right?"

"Fuck, I want to too!"

Duan Peifu's face looked a little ugly. After complaining in his heart, he made up an excuse and said, "It's like this, Chen Xing... Chen Xing, um... Chen Xing seems to have to catch a plane to the capital. Yes, he has to catch a plane to the capital, so he can't attend the dinner tonight."

"Going to the Imperial Capital?"

Saitoi expressed doubt.

"That's right, let's go to the imperial capital." After Duan Peifu found a reason, he didn't blush or feel nervous, and planned to fool around first.

"That's perfect. I'm going to the capital too. I'll check the nearest flight. Maybe I can meet you in the first class cabin."

Saitoi took out his cell phone skillfully.

"I remembered it wrongly. It seems that they left just now. Mr. Saitoi, how about this? You stay for a few days. When Chen Xing comes back, I will arrange a meeting for you right away."

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

When you tell a lie, you need to use another lie 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 exposed like dominoes, and the consequences will be extremely serious.

"Already set off?"

Saito Jing frowned secretly.

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

Saito Jing's eyes were sharp and his tone was like an interrogation, extremely unfriendly.

It’s not that he wants to be aggressive, but the task on his shoulders is too heavy, and it concerns the island country’s financial system.

Almost every country in the world that ranks high has a stock market.

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

Why does the country need a stock market?
The reason is simple. The stock market allows companies to obtain listing financing, helps them develop, and attracts a large amount of funds to idle in it without paying interest.

To put it bluntly, the stock market and the property market are both helping banks share the financial pressure.

If there were no stock market and property market, people's money would flow into banks, and bank deposits generally require interest payments. If all the money was in the bank, currency inflation and depreciation would happen in a matter of minutes.

Of course.

The stock market also has two key functions.

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

2. Earn interest on users’ deposits.

Perhaps many people are not clear about why banks can pay deposit interest for no reason, but you just need to change your mindset and imagine that the bank asks you to borrow money for investment and you will understand.

The island country's real estate market is currently sluggish, the stock market is also sluggish, and there is also the impact of the US dollar interest rate hike. If the Longxing Group continues to exert such pressure, the island country's economy may collapse.

"Ugh!"

Duan Peifu saw that his lie was exposed in front of him, and he sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to be a middleman to help you connect, but this matter is very difficult to handle. I hope President Saitoi can understand my difficulties."

His words made it very clear that even he, the director of the Foreign Trade Administration Bureau, said it was difficult to handle, which meant that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

The current world situation is a life-and-death situation, and negotiation is of no use at all.

Even if we take a step back and say that Chen Xing is willing to discuss with Saito Ii, 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 pay, and Longxing Group urgently needs these things to completely get rid of its dependence on third-party companies. This is doomed to be irreconcilable and we can only fight it out in earnest.

"excuse me."

Saitoi stood up with a gloomy face.

He didn't say another word and left the Foreign Trade Administration Bureau.

……

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

After the situation was briefly explained, the island nation's financial system sectors were collectively shocked.

"What? You don't want to talk?"

"Chen Xing, Longxing Group, and the Long Country that supports them, they want to completely destroy our financial system!"

"Baga, fight back! Fight back now!"

The island country's FSA Financial Services Agency, Ministry of Finance, Foreign Trade Administration, and investment management departments have all begun to take action.

Imperial City time.

It's ten o'clock sharp.

All the Japanese company managers stationed in Longguo received an unusual email with the title:

"Complete business transfer as soon as possible and shift industries to Southeast Asia."

"what happened?"

“Is the world going to change completely?”

"We are actually going to withdraw from Dragon Country too?"

The Japanese company leaders who saw the email were all stunned. They had never thought of leaving Longguo because they grew up in Longguo and were fluent in Chinese.

The general manager of GAC Toyota was the first to respond. Yuki Shiota issued a group announcement without any hesitation, requiring the production of vehicles to be stopped and preparations to evacuate technical engineers.

Toyota made its statement, and Honda also made its statement, choosing to stop producing cars overnight and giving workers a week off.

The sudden change made Zeng Hong, the CEO of GAC Group, slam the table and angrily yelled: "Fuck it, what happened? Who issued the order to stop production?"

He had just gone to bed when his subordinates suddenly told him that the two factories of Honda and Toyota had chosen to suspend operations and issued an official announcement.

Those who are familiar with GAC Group know that it is able to rank among the top four automobile manufacturers in China largely because it is backed by Japanese companies.

Even if we don't mention that GAC Toyota and GAC Honda's vehicles are sold well across the country, their dominant position in the used car market alone is enough to prove that they have made GAC Group lucrative.

Why does the used car market favor Honda and Toyota, two Japanese models?
Two words: durable.

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

"Well... it seems that the talks between Longxing Group and the island country broke down, and now Japanese capital is going to gradually withdraw from Long Country, just like Western capital." The secretary responded tremblingly.

They had never expected that before the auto war even broke out, just one negotiation would strip GAC Group of its skin.

"Longxing Group..."

"Why is Longxing Group involved again?"

Zeng Hong is really having a headache. The talks between your two companies broke down and now it is GAC Group that is suffering. This is an unprovoked disaster.

After thinking for a few seconds, he made a prompt decision: "You should immediately contact the two Longguo general managers of Toyota and Honda and tell them that I am waiting for them in Conference Room 1 of GAC Group." "Understood."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Good boss!"

The moment the phone call was hung up, Zeng Hong hurried to look for clothes and planned to rush back to the company.

Mrs. Zeng, who was wearing pink pajamas and exposing a large part of her naked body, checked the time and asked in confusion as Zeng Hong, who was getting dressed, with sleepy eyes, "Where are you going, Mr. Zeng?"

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

"What could happen over there?"

Mrs. Zeng was a little confused.

In her opinion, GAC Group is just a machine responsible for collecting money. There is no need to take too much care of it. Just do nothing and make money.

why would you say so?

If Toyota and Honda want to enter the Longguo market, according to regulations they need to find local car companies in Longguo to cooperate with and split the profits 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, and GAC Group basically does not have to do anything and can take away 50% of the profits.

Not only Honda and Toyota, but also Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi all need to find a local car company to cooperate with if they want to enter the Longguo market. Only cars that are locally produced can be allowed to be sold.

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

Over time, these local car companies have been living a life of "collecting rent".

"It's a big deal. If we don't handle it well, GAC Group will face a reshuffle." Zeng Hong looked back at his wife, then walked out quickly.

at the same time.

The CEOs of FAW Group, Changan Automobile Group, Dongfeng Group and other auto companies with joint ventures with Japan were all woken up by ringing 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.

Japanese-owned cars are leaving, and this is no joke.

However, these people are not reluctant to let them go, but they are reluctant to let the engineers from the island country 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.

CEO Chen Hong has returned to the company and convened a special emergency meeting. All six decision-makers have arrived and everyone is on high alert.

"The automotive industry may really be in for a reshuffle. According to my sources, the negotiations between Longxing Group and the island country's FSA broke down, and Japanese joint ventures collectively announced that they would transfer their industries. This has sounded the alarm for us."

Chen Hong's tone was extremely solemn. He was a man who always thought of danger in times of peace.

Although SAIC Group has no cooperation with Japanese automakers, it has close cooperation with Western automakers, such as General Motors and Volkswagen.

No one expected that this financial battle would actually hit the automotive field. Now Chen Hong must find a way to survive.

"So what do we do now?"

someone asked.

At this time, someone stood up, looked directly at Chen Hong and said, "I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a great opportunity to redistribute the automotive market share."

"You go on."

Chen Hong showed some interest.

"I estimate that it won't be long before Japanese cars withdraw, and American cars may also withdraw. Then it will be time to compete with domestically produced cars, and we happen to have the foundation."

The words fell.

Chen Hong's eyes suddenly lit up.

You know what, what a great opportunity!

If Japanese joint venture cars leave, there will be a gap in Longguo’s automobile market. Whoever can take it will have a larger share of the cake.

"What about fuel and new energy?"

Chen Hong asked again.

Currently, SAIC Group has stockpiled two new energy vehicles, one is a family sedan and the other is an SUV.

Not only SAIC Group, but also car companies like BAIC, GAC, Changan, BYD, etc. have already stockpiled their own new energy vehicles, just waiting for someone to ignite the fuse first.

“New energy is the future trend.”

"Yes, 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 meeting 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 testing stage, they discovered what the future development trend of automobiles is.

Today's fuel vehicles are equivalent to the keypad phones of 07 and are not very useful. New energy vehicles, on the other hand, focus on intelligence, which is equivalent to the smartphone era of 11. This has made the CEOs of Chinese auto companies smell something unusual.

It is for this reason that Chinese automakers have started to follow the "law of true fragrance" and quietly began to prepare for new energy vehicles.

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

"By the way, Mr. Chen, when will our Zhiji Auto 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 leaked parameters of Tesla.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Hong didn't dare to light the fuse rashly.

He is well aware that BYD, GAC, FAW and other friendly companies now have reserves of new energy vehicles. They are all waiting for Tesla, or the Pilot 001 to announce the parameters first, and then they will adjust the parameters themselves and strike back.

……

Shenzhen, BYD Group.

CEO Wang Fu also got wind of the news and rushed back to his company to hold a meeting.

"Japanese car companies have announced their withdrawal, so this is our chance, Boss. We can't wait for Tesla and Pilot Auto to release their products first!"

"That's right, we should attack when necessary. Besides, our new energy vehicles are not vegetarians, they can't surpass us!"

“It’s time to hold a press conference.”

"Boss, please make a quick decision on whether 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 he finally restrained himself and said in a deep voice: "The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. We can't light this thread."

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

Someone tried to persuade him again.

"This is an opportunity, but also an abyss. Don't you see that other car companies are waiting?" Wang Fu's tone became a little 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 be the first to stand out and be besieged by competitors from car companies.

why would you say so?

Take the mobile phone as an example.

When Apple 8 was released first, Chen Xing was called upon to run the benchmark. As a result, every parameter of Apple 8 was specifically crushed by the latter.

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

Whoever releases first will suffer a loss, and this applies not only to electronic products but also to automobiles.

Seeing that Wang Fu was determined to strike back, the others stopped talking.

……

Shenzhen star hotel.

presidential suite.

Saito Jing sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, like a ferocious wolf.

He really didn't expect that Dragon Country and Island Country would go to such a step, nor did he expect that the two countries would be the first to start a financial war.

I thought that after I withdrew my investment, Duan Peifu and other leaders would try to retain me and apologize.

result…

No one called him.

This made six words flash through Saito Jing's mind, which were "If you want to fight, then fight."

"No one has contacted us for such a long time. It seems that they have been keeping an eye on Nikkei 225 for a very long time. How should we respond now?" asked a member of the FSA Financial Services Agency.

"Wait two days first. If no one contacts us, I'll make them pay. The car is just the beginning!"

Saitoi said in a deep voice.

There are countless Dragon Country companies that have received investment from the island country. The current withdrawal of car companies is just a warning. If no one contacts him within two days, he doesn't mind turning the table completely.

As the automotive and financial circles were undergoing changes, Chen Xing, sitting at his workstation, had already witnessed his opponent's first move.

“Withdraw the car companies?”

"Ah…"

He sneered and didn't care about the withdrawal of Japanese car companies at all.

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

But he really didn't expect that car companies all chose to hold their breath underwater.

You don’t 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 the longest.

"Since no one is willing to release it first, then I will be the fuse." Chen Xing muttered to himself.

Originally, he planned to strike back and look at Tesla's configuration first, but now the FSA is using the Japanese car companies' withdrawal from the Longguo market to put pressure on Chen Xing. What can he do? He can only eat up the Japanese car market share with tears!

Thinking of this, Chen Xing picked up the phone on the table, found Lei Jun's WeChat, and sent him a voice message: "The plan has changed. Prepare to hold a press conference."

"call out--"

The message was delivered successfully.

Originally, Chen Xing thought that Lei Jun had already fallen asleep and did not call to disturb him. However, less than half a minute after the message was sent, a call came from the imperial capital.

"Brother Lei, are you still awake?" Chen Xing greeted him after pressing the answer button.

"I want to sleep, too, but how can I sleep when you make such a big noise?" After Lei Jun finished complaining, his tone became serious and he asked, "Have you really decided to hold a press conference before Tesla?"

Originally, Chen Xing, Lei Jun, and Ren Guofei had agreed that after the Tesla press conference, they would make adjustments based on the vehicle parameters to ensure that the Pilot 001 car could completely crush Tesla and make Masick lose everything in the "betting agreement".

But now, Chen Xing is actually going to hold a press conference, wanting to be the first to ignite the fuse. It is true that plans are not as good as changes.

"Yes." Chen Xing replied, and gave his reasons: "The island countries want to threaten us to stop by saying that Honda and Toyota will withdraw from the Dragon Country market. I will definitely not do as they wish. Besides, the Pilot 001 has been on the road test for so long, it is time for it to become an industry benchmark and let domestic car companies catch up."
