1979 My Life in the Era

Chapter 316 Going to Japan

"Mr. Mori, if I don't ask, are you going to stop telling me?" Ning Weidong stared at Mori Taro in front of him with an expressionless face.

"Ning-san~" Maori Taro said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid you don't believe me, but I just found out that Mr. Omoto has returned to his country."

Then he took out an envelope from the inner pocket of his suit: "This is a letter left by Mr. Omoto. He asked me to pass it to you."

Ning Weidong frowned and took the letter from Maori Taro.

I glanced at the envelope and saw very neat calligraphy on it.

Ning Weidong can speak Japanese, and although he hasn't used it for many years, it doesn't affect his reading.

Ning Weidong opened the envelope and found only a piece of letter inside, the content of which was not complicated.

The general meaning is that if Ning Weidong wants to build a factory in a joint venture with Toshiba, he should go to Japan in person.

After reading it, Ning Weidong couldn't help but frown. He wondered what Big Ben Xiong Er meant by this?
What is Big Ben Kumaji's purpose in leading him to Japan?
If it is just a joint venture to build a factory, there is no need for this at all.

2 billion yen may sound like a lot, but for Toshiba, it is not a huge investment.

According to the current exchange rate, 2 billion yen is only 10 million US dollars, which is less than 40 million RMB.

Maori Taro on the side looked at the letter in Ning Weidong's hand curiously, wondering what Omoto Kumaji said in the letter.

Ning Weidong didn't hide it and handed the letter over directly.

After Maori Taro finished reading, he asked, "What do you think, Maori-kun?"

Maori Taro pondered, "This... Mr. Omoto asked you to go to Tokyo?"

Ning Weidong asked: "What can you think of?"

Ning Weidong knew too little about Big Ben Kumaji and couldn't figure out why the other party asked him to go to Japan.

Maori Taro pursed his lips and shook his head: "Sorry, I can't think of it either. What Ning-san meant..."

Ning Weidong didn't answer. He hadn't thought it through yet.

According to the current situation, if we want to build a joint venture with Toshiba, we must obtain the support of Kumamoto Omoto.

But Kumamoto's purpose is unclear, and going to Japan rashly would be tantamount to putting himself in a passive situation.

Ning Weidong was not worried about the danger to his life. At this critical juncture, the Japanese did not dare to really touch him, otherwise it would cause trouble, and his Amei father would be the first to disagree.

But it is impossible that Big Ben asked Kumaji to go to Japan just to play a trick on him.

Kumaji Omoto has no grudge against Ning Weidong, and as the fourth most important person in Toshiba, Kumaji Omoto himself would not do such a boring thing.

It can be imagined that he called Ning Weidong to Japan in order to use Ning Weidong to achieve some purpose.

After separating from Maori Taro, Ning Weidong returned to the guesthouse and called Master Wu first.

"Old Wu, please help me analyze this..." Ning Weidong repeated the letter from Big Ben Xiong Er.

Master Wu began to ponder, while Po beside him only had a vague idea.

After a while, Master Wu said, "Based on my experience, this Big Ben Xiong Er is deliberately making things mysterious. He is putting pressure on you and leaving this letter. His purpose is probably to take advantage of your identity."

Ning Weidong nodded, this was similar to what he thought.

This is also Ning Weidong’s greatest value.

Master Wu continued, "The next step is to let you go to Japan... In fact, your identity is more valuable in China. If he wants to gain something through your identity, there is really no need to force you to go to Japan. Of course, it is also possible that it is due to some of his personal emotions or preferences, but I think this possibility is not high. If Big Ben Kumaji is so willful, he should not be able to reach this position."

This is similar to what Ning Weidong thinks.

Master Wu added: "To sum up, I judge that Big Ben Kumaji asked you to go to Japan, he must want to use your identity to achieve a certain purpose, only if you go to Japan, can it be effective..." Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to what Master Wu said here, it was roughly the same as what he thought in his heart.

Big Ben Xiong Er should be using Ning Weidong to set a trap and use Ning Weidong to deal with one of his enemies.

But at the moment, it is not certain who Kumamoto's target is.

Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Old Wu, find a way to contact Sony and Panasonic tomorrow and find out what they have to say."

Master Wu responded, but he was not optimistic about Ning Weidong's order.

In fact, he had contact with Sony and Panasonic before, but compared with Toshiba, they were more difficult to talk to, or more arrogant.

However, Ning Weidong had already said that he could not directly refute at this time. He had to give it a try before reporting back.

In fact, Ning Weidong didn't hold out much hope, so he just tried his best.

After Master Wu left, Ning Weidong thought about it and called Beijing: "Hello, Dad, this is Weidong... There is a situation now... Yes... Yes... I want to go and take a look..."

Ning Weidong expressed his meaning.

After careful consideration, he was still more inclined to go to Japan, but in order to ensure that everything would go well, he would definitely discuss it with Zhao's father first.

At the same time, seek support from the capital.

This time the situation is a little different from the last time I went to Speedlink.

If Ning Weidong wants to get what he wants in Japan, he must obtain the necessary support. Otherwise, no matter how capable he is, he can only achieve his goal.

The conditions proposed by Big Ben Xiong Er clearly showed that he wanted to use Ning Weidong. If Ning Weidong went there rashly, he would definitely be in a passive position.

So, if you decide to go, you must have a big card in your hand, otherwise you might as well not go at all.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao's father hesitated for a moment and asked, "Weidong, how confident are you this time?"

"Dad, I'm 80% sure!" Ning Weidong made the big statement first. He had to be firm at this time. Otherwise, if he didn't even have confidence in himself, how could he expect others to support him?

Father Zhao snorted on the other end of the phone: "Put aside your tricks and tell me the truth."

Ning Weidong chuckled: "Well, 60%!"

Father Zhao didn't say anything else this time. He hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Wait for my call."

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang.

Ning Weidong took a breath. He knew that Father Zhao must have gone to help him get resources.

Ning Weidong could be useful to Japan, but Zhao's father certainly does not have the authority to directly transfer him. He must report to his superiors and then fight for resources.

But Ning Weidong was not too worried.

If it were someone else, they might not be sure, but Ning Weidong had just made real achievements in Speedlink.

Alone, he actually found his way to Chirnenko.

This is what gives Ning Weidong the courage to speak.

If Zhao Lichun or Li Yuanchao dared to make such a request, they would have been scolded to death.

About forty minutes later, Ning Weidong received a call: "Weidong, you must be extra careful when you go to Japan. In addition, after you go to Tokyo, you can go directly to Chen Dong of the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce..."

After listening to what Zhao's father said, Ning Weidong hung up the phone, saw the letter from Big Ben Xiong Er, reached out and crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
