Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Saito Jing hung up the phone with Chen Xing. He did not report it to his superiors immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and thought about the seriousness of the matter.

During the call just now, Chen Xing was very straightforward in his expression, expressing his attitude that if he couldn't get it, he would destroy it.

Can the Toyota Group be destroyed?

Not for a short time.

Because once the Toyota Group goes bankrupt, it will not be a problem for the 300,000 employees, but for the entire related interest chain.

For example, if you are the person in charge of a vegetable market and you need to close the market for three months due to force majeure, how many groups will be affected during these three months?

1. Merchants in the market.

The closure of the wet market may reduce or waive three months’ rent for the merchants who have settled there, but they cannot say that they will not do business for three months. If they choose to settle in other wet markets, they will have to pay expensive stall fees.

2. Consumers.

As we all know, vegetable markets are generally close to residential areas. If a vegetable market is shut down, it will definitely affect the nearby residents' shopping for vegetables and cooking. They may have to spend more time, or need to drive or scan shared bicycles to buy vegetables.

3. Wholesaler.

Whether it is chicken, duck, fish, meat or vegetables, they all need to go through the hands of wholesalers. It does not mean that merchants in the vegetable market go to the breeding base to buy them themselves.

From breeding bases to agricultural trade wholesalers, from agricultural trade wholesalers to distributors, from distributors to merchants in various markets, and finally sold to consumers by merchants in various markets, this forms a complete production and sales chain.

Assuming that a large vegetable market is temporarily closed, the interests of the corresponding merchants, distributors, and wholesalers will be affected, and even the breeding bases will be affected.

Because the vegetable markets close to homes have been closed, many families find it too far and troublesome to go, so they simply eat out or make do with a few meals, and consumption has dropped accordingly.

It can be seen that closing a vegetable market can affect so many groups. If the trillion-dollar Toyota Group goes bankrupt, how many people will be affected?

Three hundred thousand people?

Half a million people?

One million people?
All I can say is it’s far more than that!
Controlling the jobs of millions of islanders is Chen Xing's bargaining chip.

Regardless of the country, it will pay special attention to the growing trend of the unemployed population.

In a country where the number of unemployed people grows rapidly, corresponding instability will also increase, and there will be a risk of social unrest.

For example, in Germany after the end of S1 season, the number of unemployed people increased rapidly and the gap between the rich and the poor reached its peak level.

The rich not only had bread and milk, but also a variety of meats and fruits.

The unemployed population at the bottom not only have to face inflation, but also face severe challenges of survival.

In the end, it was the price of 50 loaves of bread that ignited the emotions of the grassroots people and allowed social wealth to be evenly distributed once again.

Without looking at modern times, let’s look at ancient times. Throughout the countless peasant uprisings, big and small, in ancient Longguo, their starting point was to fill their stomachs, so they chose to risk their lives.

……

Saito I thought about it for a full ten minutes. The interest chain involved in the Toyota Group was too huge, and Chen Xing did have the bargaining chips for dialogue with the top leaders of the island country.

Thinking of this, he did not dare to delay and immediately called Cabinet Speaker Hideki Kamioka and briefly explained the situation.

"what!"

Hideki Kamioka was shocked.

He didn't expect Chen Xing to be so ruthless as to destroy a trillion-dollar group that affected the livelihoods of millions of families.

Chen Xing's determination was beyond his imagination.

Originally, he and the United States were thinking of engaging in a tug-of-war, and he felt that Chen Xing would not do anything to the Toyota Group. After all, he had gone through so many efforts and put so much thought into getting it, so it was impossible for him to just destroy it.

But now?

If you can't control it, just destroy it.

He did the math and found that Longxing Group had spent at least 300 billion Longguo currency to collect stocks. If it was not profitable, it would be destroyed directly. Conservative estimates would show a direct loss of over 100 billion yuan.

"What should we do? Chen Xing's tone doesn't sound like he's joking."

Saito I hurriedly asked.

Kamioka Hideki's eyes flashed with admiration, and he murmured to himself, "In ancient times, Cao Cao used the emperor to control the princes, and now Chen Xing is using the Toyota Group to make us express our stance. It's really smart."

The Three Kingdoms culture is widely spread throughout the world, especially in island countries, which have developed countless film, television and game titles based on the Three Kingdoms theme.

Even if Hideki Kamioka was beaten to death, he never expected that history would repeat itself.

Chen Xing actually thought of using the unemployment issue to force them to make a choice.

Can the island country give up the Toyota Group?

No!

This is not only about employment, but also about economic issues.

If the Toyota Group goes bankrupt, the business card of Japanese cars will be torn into pieces, which will affect the entire island country's automobile industry.

Just imagine that the leader of an industry has declared bankruptcy, would you still remain optimistic about this industry?
Under the dual pressures of unemployment and economy, Hideki Kamioka also fell into deep thought.

At this time, Saito Jing said again: "Chen Xing also said that as long as they can successfully take over the Toyota Group, he will support the transformation and provide lithium battery related technologies."

"Is this a case of giving a sweet reward after a beating?" Hideki Kamioka smiled helplessly.

"more or less."

Saito I was equally helpless.

Now all favorable conditions point to cooperation with Longxing Group. Only by cooperating with Longxing Group can we get out of the predicament.

But the question is, can the United States agree to it?

Saito I and Kamioka Hideki both thought about this question at the same time.

You have to know that the United States has troops stationed in Japan and South Korea. If you cooperate with Longxing Group, you can be sure that something will happen.

"This is a matter of great importance. It is a matter of great importance. I have to consult my superiors."

Kamioka Hideki said in a deep voice.

He thought that his authority was already very high, but at the moment, his authority was simply not enough to make the final decision on this matter.

Hearing this, Saito Jing asked again: "Then should I call Chen Xing back now?"

"If you ask him to wait for a day, we might have to hold a multi-department meeting, and the results might not come out so quickly."

"Then Nishikawa Takahiro..."

"Tell him not to act rashly. Let Longxing Group take over. Everything will wait until the final meeting results come out."

"Then I'll call him."

"Go."

After hanging up the phone, Saito I immediately called Nishikawa Takahiro, hoping that he would be more restrained and not affect the overall situation.

……

And on the other side.

Toyota Group Headquarters Base.

What Saito I didn't know was that Nishikawa Takahiro had been hesitating for a long time and was just about to compromise and call him to discuss, but unexpectedly, Saito I called him first.

Nishikawa Takahiro was startled, thinking that Saito I had other instructions.

It is impossible that the top leaders of the island country were unaware that Yao Nana and others were taking over the Toyota Group.

"excuse me."

Takahiro Nishikawa stood up, bowed slightly to apologize, and walked quickly towards the door of the conference room.

As soon as he opened the door of the conference room, three strong men, Yan Hai, Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang, instantly locked onto him. Nishikawa Takahiro suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, but he had no choice but to go ahead and walk.

The other board members did not leave, they were all waiting for answers.

"President Nishikawa, how did the talk go?"

“Are we really fired?”

"Is it really irreversible?"

Facing everyone's questions, Nishikawa Takahiro waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go back first, I will notify you if there is any new situation."

He didn't give a direct answer, but everyone knew his attitude.

Compared to his initial resistance, he now seems to have been controlled, only lacking the final touch.

Takahiro Nishikawa's reaction and attitude immediately made some people angry.

"You're going to sell out the Toyota Group???"

"No matter how much money Longxing Group paid you, you are going to sell out Toyota Group and our Great Japanese Empire. You deserve to die!"

"Bagaya road!!!"

"Nishikawa Takahiro, you will get your comeuppance!"

The crowd began to get restless. Yan Hai, Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang exchanged glances and began to drive away the original board members.

In the corridor, they took a step forward and the board members took a step back.

Faced with absolute power suppression, no one wants to be the first to stand out.

Besides, they are not young guys. When they reach their thirties or forties, their body functions and healing abilities will decline.

If a child is in his teens, even if he gets beaten up badly, the wounds and injuries will heal over time, and he may not even need to go to the hospital for treatment.

"Everyone go in."

Yan Hai opened the elevator and let the board members in.

These people also understood that they no longer had any say and there was no point in staying here. In order to avoid being beaten, they could only walk into the elevator obediently and be taken to the first floor.

After dealing with the former board members, Yan Hai couldn't help but tease: "No wonder the Japanese are called Japanese, they are indeed quite short."

"felt it."

“Is it because the air in the island country is too humid?”

Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang took over the conversation.

They had come into contact with soldiers from the northern military region, and they were indeed generally taller than soldiers from the south. According to what the squad leader Yan Hai and others said, the south has heavy humidity, which affects the appetite and results in insufficient nutritional intake. The north is dry, and people eat more and eat a wider variety of foods, which is less nutritionally balanced, so naturally there is a regional height difference.

However, with the normalization of meat, eggs and milk, the nutritional intake of young people in both the north and the south has reached a balance. They no longer need to rely on eating large amounts of food to obtain nutrients for growth. In recent years, the height of young people in the south has also increased by leaps and bounds.

But the island country is obviously a developed country, and meat, eggs and milk have long been a normal part of every household, but the height of their people is gradually decreasing, which has become an unsolved mystery in the world.

"Maybe, who knows." Yan Hai smiled, and then reminded: "You stay here, I'll go back to the door of the meeting room."

"Okay, you go."

"receive."

The three of them split up.

……

Takahiro Nishikawa walked into the cubicle next to the meeting room, closed the door and pressed the answer button on his cell phone.

"President Saito."

He said hello.

"Did Longxing Group send someone to your place?" Saitoi got straight to the point. "Yes, they just arrived not long ago." Nishikawa Takahiro just finished speaking and asked again: "Are there any new instructions from above?"

"Regarding the matter of Longxing Group's forced acquisition of Toyota Group, the interests involved are a bit large. You should just hold off for now. Pay what you should pay and don't pay what you shouldn't pay. Do you understand?"

Saito I gave a hint.

Although it was said to be a hint, it was actually equivalent to an explicit statement, because his attitude before was to use all available means to ensure that the takeover team of Longxing Group would return empty-handed.

But now?

What should be handed in is handed in, and what should not be handed in is not handed in. It is obvious that he is loose-minded.

"What happened?"

Takahiro Nishikawa is not stupid, so he can naturally hear the change in attitude between the two times.

For him, who has been in the business world for so many years, being able to listen to subtext is a basic skill and not worth mentioning.

Not just in business, official careers, or upper-class circles, people tend to speak in a euphemistic way and with hidden meanings. If your brain can't react quickly, you're likely to fall into a trap.

"Of course there is something wrong, but this is too complicated. Just do as I say. I will notify you immediately if there is any follow-up."

Saitoi chose to keep it secret.

Chen Xing used the unemployment of one million people as a bargaining chip to force them to peacefully transfer the Toyota Group. If this matter were made public, he was afraid that it would scare Takahiro Nishikawa, and he was also afraid that the latter would inform Wall Street in the United States.

To ensure that things would not be affected, he decided to keep it secret for the time being.

However, what he didn't know was that Yao Nana also mentioned the "Dismemberment Plan".

Nishikawa Takada's brain was spinning very fast. He vaguely guessed something, but did not say it out loud. Instead, he nodded and responded, "Okay, I'll hand over the official seal and account book first. As for the veto power, I'll use it as conservatively as possible."

"Well, you play it by ear."

Saitoi nodded.

The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

Saito I put down his phone and called Chen Xing back, saying that he needed a day to hold a meeting to discuss the final decision.

Chen Xing was delighted when he heard the answer. You know, in the adult world, if something is not explicitly rejected, it means there is room for negotiation.

For example, when you are chatting up someone on the street, if the other person doesn't want to add you, no matter how much you pester them, even if you finally add them, you will only get a red exclamation mark when you get home.

But if you add the other person naturally and the other person replies to your messages, even if the other person clearly states that they don't want to be a boyfriend or girlfriend, there is still room for further imagination.

Saito I did not explicitly refuse, and his superiors did not explicitly refuse either. Instead, they decided to hold a meeting to discuss. Regardless of the outcome, a group of senior island officials already supported Longxing Group's takeover of Toyota Group in order to maintain the current situation.

Although he was happy in his heart, Chen Xing did not show it, but responded calmly: "Then I will wait for good news from President Saito."

"You're welcome."

The two exchanged a few polite words and hung up the phone without continuing the small talk.

Saito Jing looked at Chen Xing's number and silently saved it in his address book.

Chen Xing did the same. After saving the number, he placed his phone next to the desk, then picked up the mouse and opened the encrypted mailbox on his computer.

This time, the company was able to forcibly acquire the Toyota Group without prior approval and gain the initiative in negotiations, which was largely due to the help of the Miyazaki family.

Chen Xing is not an ungrateful person who only makes empty promises to others.

The Miyazaki family is risking everything for the sake of profit.

After learning that the top leaders of the island country might give in and that Longxing Group's lithium battery car technology would have the opportunity to enter the island country market, he immediately shared this important information with Miyazaki Jun'e via an encrypted email.

For top companies, giving important information is worse than giving real money, because information is equal to real money.

As long as you grasp the information gap, money will flow into your wallet by itself.

Take the stock market for example. If you knew a company’s future performance in advance, would you still think the information is worthless?
However, for a business, the returns from pure stock speculation are too low.

Even the stock god Buffett runs his own investment company.

……

The island nation of Tokyo.

The luxurious manor of the Miyazaki family.

Miyazaki Jun'e had also been waiting for news. When she saw a new email pop up in her mailbox, she couldn't wait to open it.

"Both Saito and his superiors are wavering, and the Toyota Group may shift toward electric vehicles."

She recited the email silently in her mind.

Although the email is short, the amount of information provided is explosive.

The attitude of Saito Ii and the island country's top leaders has changed, which means that the island country may stab the United States in the back, just like the last time the yen raised interest rates.

Toyota Group is likely to shift toward electric vehicles, indicating that the island nation's traditional automobile industry will undergo a major reshuffle.

It is no exaggeration to say that if everything Chen Xing said is true, the value of this email is no less than one trillion!

Plan ahead and take the lead. How can you catch up with your competitors?
Miyazaki Jun'e immediately called Miyazaki Yu and asked him to come to her room.

Not a moment.

Miyazaki Yu walked in.

"how's it going?"

"I don't know what method Chen Xing used to make Saito Ii and his superiors waver in their attitude. Chen Xing also said that Toyota Group may transform into electric vehicles."

Miyazaki Jun'e revealed the contents of the email.

"That's great." Miyazaki Yu looked excited and said to Miyazaki Junhui: "If it is really as Chen Xing said, the wealth of the entire automobile manufacturing industry will be redistributed."

"But can new energy vehicles really come in?" Miyazaki Jun'e expressed concern.

You should know that the automobile manufacturing industry has always been the economic pillar of the island country. It is precisely relying on automobile exports and industrial product export trade that the poor island country can become a developed country.

If it did not have a strong industrial base, an island country with scarce land resources would simply not be able to feed hundreds of millions of people.

New energy vehicles are impacting traditional vehicles, and the technology reserves of island countries' car companies are all in the field of traditional automobile manufacturing.

"Electric vehicles are a global trend. Compared with traditional vehicles, they are smarter and more environmentally friendly. We'd better take a gamble of just one, if not ten thousand." Miyazaki Yu has decided to go all out.

Although it is impossible for him to enter the manufacturing industry directly and the Miyazaki family does not have the foundation, they still have a say in the field of communications.

Since it is a smart car, the Miyazaki family can focus on this aspect and try to take up as much market share as possible before thinking about other things.

In fact, Miyazaki Yu also thought of an extremely important reason, that is, the island country’s oil reserves are too small, or the proven oil fields are too small.

The reserves of all the island nation's domestic oil fields combined are not as large as those of the Daqing oil field in Dragon Country. In order to meet strategic needs, the island nation can only build strategic oil reserve bases overseas to ensure that there will be no sudden oil shortage.

If electric cars are promoted, the demand for oil will drop instantly.

Compared to oil, the problem of electricity is quite easy to solve.

Building nuclear power plants, wind power generation and solar power generation are all solutions.

"So what should we do next?"

Miyazaki Jun'e asked.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's wait and see. We have a cooperative relationship with Chen Xing, so our share will definitely not be less."

Miyazaki Yu already had a plan in mind, and he could clearly feel that the Miyazaki family's revival plan was about to be realized.

……

the other side.

Toyota Group Headquarters Base.

After Takahiro Nishikawa hung up the phone, he returned to the meeting room.

He glanced at Yao Nana and Lan Junyi, and said in a deep voice: "This matter requires further discussion. I can hand over the group's official seal and account books first. I hope you can give me more time."

Yao Nana and Lan Junyi looked at each other. Taking over the Toyota Group was much simpler than they had imagined. At least Nishikawa Takahiro had given in and did not pester them.

However, what they don’t know is that behind the ease, Chen Xing is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.

"No problem, how long will it take for the reply?"

Yao Nana asked.

"Within seven days." Nishikawa Takahiro didn't know when Saito I would give a reply, so he gave a more relaxed time.

"too long."

Lan Junyi frowned slightly and said directly: "Three days, we give you three days. The future of Toyota Group depends on your statement in three days."

"That's right, only three days." Yao Nana couldn't wait any longer and quickly agreed.

Nishikawa Takahiro hesitated for a while, but finally agreed: "Three days is three days, the others can follow me to the top floor."

"Well, let's go."

"Let's go."

Several people moved and followed Takahiro Nishikawa into the elevator to the chairman's office on the top floor.

When Nishikawa Takahiro came to the safe, Yan Hai, as an active-duty soldier, immediately smelled danger.

The instructor in their unit once said that safes are the most dangerous things.

There may be bombs, grenades, guns and sharp weapons inside, so you need to be extremely careful when treating the safe.

Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang were equally alert and whispered, "Move a little further. If anything happens, lie down and hide immediately."

Yao Nana and Lan Junyi both became nervous, especially Yao Nana. Not to mention Nishikawa Takada's safe, she had seen guns even in Chen Xing's safe.

Although she didn't know how it came about or whether it was legal, she chose to keep it secret for Chen Xing.

Takahiro Nishikawa hadn't noticed the change in atmosphere in the office. He still did as usual, first using his fingerprint to unlock the first layer of the lock, and then entering the password of the safe.

"Click——"

The safe popped open slightly.

Just as Nishikawa Takahiro was about to open it, Yan Hai grabbed his wrist and said, "Let me do it."

Nishikawa Takada was stunned for a moment, and the two of them looked at each other. Then he looked at the alert crowd and understood what was going on.

"Then open it."

He also gave up his position.

Yan Hai didn't let him go. If there was a bomb or something in the safe, he could take someone with him to die with him.

Fortunately, there was no bomb inside, but there was a pistol pressing on the documents and the official seal was placed in a compartment.

Seeing this, Nishikawa Takahiro explained: "It is legal to own a gun in the island country, and this gun is not loaded, so you can rest assured."

Yan Hai did not listen to him, but took out the pistol. As soon as he held it in his hand, he felt that the weight was wrong. It turned out that Nishikawa Takahiro was not lying, and the bullet was indeed not loaded.

For safety reasons, he checked the safe carefully again. After making sure there were no problems, he gave Yao Nana, Lan Junyi and others a look that said "it's safe".

Although it was just a minor episode, it made Yao Nana and Lan Junyi feel a little scared, and also served as a reminder for them in the future.

When you are abroad, you must always be aware that everyone may be carrying a firearm, and if you are not careful, your life could be in danger.
