Chapter 74

No matter how many years later, no matter how glory and wealth Marten enjoyed in the future, deep down he always remembered the evening when he was waiting for school.

A big horse took him away from the craziest eyes of his envious friends and left.

That was the first time he saw Da Ben in his life, and it was also the first time he entered a seemingly formal French restaurant, and ate foie gras, snails, and other good things that needed to be eaten by Hong Kong dollars, which were used to entertain foreign guests.

As a fourth-grade elementary school student, he watched the young man who was only seven years older than him chatting and laughing with his father and Director Qiao, while the other party's attitude was very kind and almost pleasing.

He even said the advance words of "We are not here to manage Hong Kong businessmen, but to serve Hong Kong businessmen. In order to be better open, we must learn from the West and build a service-oriented government."

Of course, I can only talk privately at the dinner table, and I must not be in public.

All this left an indelible mark on Ma Teng's young heart, and made him sigh over and over again when he tried to catch up with his senior's footsteps: Your uncle will always be your uncle.

The extravagant and corrupt French food and the detailed passage of driving on a horse racing bike are naturally not needed. Anyway, the guests and hosts were having fun that night, and all the people from Shajiao Development Zone expressed their full cooperation and followed Gu Ao's suggestions on the upcoming reception of the Japanese-funded inspection team.

This kind of obedience was not bought by Gu Ao for money, but was convinced by the other party. After all, Director Qiao and Director Ma had never dealt with Japan for much, so Gu Ao must be more familiar with the business.

A few incisive insights can make the listener take out a small notebook and record it from the bottom of his heart, and he also sighs that Mr. Gu is really knowledgeable.

"Gu...Brother Gu, you must have been to many countries, right?" Ma Teng, who was childless in the end, couldn't help but ask curiously regardless of his father's pressure.

"What are the children's mouths when they speak!" Director Ma was about to beat his son up.

However, the magnanimous Gu Ao blocked his hand and changed to a kind head-touching kill.

Just like when I meet children when I inspect my work in a TV series.

"Children should study hard and study hard. There are opportunities in the future. What's the point of going abroad? When you reach my age, it's not worth it."

Gu Ao told the truth.

Unfortunately, the audience didn't believe it, and they thought Gu Ao was pretending.

...

After making friends with local grassroots and understanding the situation, some senior executives of CITIC Trust, including their boss, went to Shenzhen Stock Exchange the next day.

Gu Ao would inevitably report the latest situation with Han Ting and attend the welcoming banquet.

The boss was very satisfied with Gu Ao's performance. He found a separate opportunity at the reception banquet and called Gu Ao, and followed the instructions of tomorrow's reception list:

"Xiao Gu Na, tomorrow, in addition to President Ashida, President Ukawa, and the heads of the Sumitomo Consortium, there are also many heads of industrial companies they hold.

Including President Konosuke Matsushita of Panasonic Electric and President Akio Morita of Sony Electronics. These two are half of your peers. Maybe Presidents Inada and Ukawa invited them to evaluate the actual operating conditions of Han Le Electronics. For future market competitiveness, you should be more attentive and receive two people. After all, you are more skilled in explaining technology and products."

Gu Ao expressed his opinion: "Boss, don't worry, and ensure that the task is completed."

The boss smiled charmingly: "Xiao Gu, on my side, don't be as restricted as your deputy director. We are in an enterprise-oriented management, and we have no superiors and subordinates. The words can be more commercialized in the future."

Gu Ao: "Okay, boss."

The boss smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "That's right, especially in front of foreigners. You can't show your will. This is your business, not your country's business. Japanese people attach great importance to this."

At around 9 a.m. the next day, Gu Ao and Han Ting were making final preparations in the office of Hanle Electronics Factory.

They will not pick them up at the airport because their identities are shareholders and management of the invested company and should not be too attentive to investors.

So the boss asked the boss to personally bring Inada, President Ukawa and others. When he arrived at the factory, Gu Ao and others could come forward.

About half an hour later, a long convoy came in a row, all of which were Mercedes-Benz and Japan could not airlift their luxury cars from China, so the boss should have borrowed them in advance from the local area of ​​Yuezhou.

In the late 1950s, the first batch of Mercedes-Benz buses were found in China. At that time, it was exclusively for foreign guests at the Canton Fair. Even the leaders of the country had no choice but to sit (leaders sat on the red flag). This is also a tradition for more than 20 years, so when receiving important foreign guests in eastern Guangdong, they would borrow Mercedes-Benz from the Yuezhou bus company.

As the Mercedes-Benz convoy stopped, the boss got off the car first and personally received the presidents of two major Japanese consortiums.

"President of Radai and President of Ukawa, this is the target company that we invested in when CITIC Trust issued its first Hong Kong dollar bond. Hanle Electronics, if you are concerned about the latest electronic entertainment product trends in the Japanese market, you should have heard of this brand. It is currently the number one brand in the Japanese public gaming console market."

The Mitsui Zaiba President Riceda is already old. He is an old man in his 70s, with a face full of age spots and white hair.

Moreover, chaebols are different from those engaged in industry and are not sensitive to the trends of new technologies and new consumer trends. So much so that the electronic arcade product has appeared in Japan for half a year, and still don’t know that they are here to inspect, rather than being carefully prepared to be inspected.

"Myontianjun, how is this brand?" President Raisa turned sideways, tapped the ground twice with his crutch, and asked.

A middle-aged and elderly person in his 50s immediately emerged from behind. It was Akio Morita, the founder and chairman of Sony Electronics. He walked to the major shareholder to explain:

"It's pretty good. Electronic arcades are a newly born entertainment facility. Originally, only Atari from the United States was in production, and it has been two years old.

However, our domestic entertainment venue owners are generally conservative, thinking that these equipment is expensive and risky, so they dare not try to introduce it easily. However, Han Le Electronics from Xiangjiang seized the opportunity and based on the American design, they created a new category of arcade machines in the "shooting game" and occupied a new market in one fell swoop.

Currently, only Taidong Electrical Appliances’ products compete with it, but the monthly sales are less than one-third of Hanle Electronics. In addition, I just heard two days ago that Hanle Electronics has launched another new product, which has innovated the gameplay. The market’s first reaction is very good, and Taidong Electrical Appliances has to chase again."

"I didn't expect that the Chinese are also very creative." President Raida sighed, "Two years ago, when Sony took the walk-man, I heard public opinion all over the world say that our Japanese electronics companies have led the 'trend' and 'ool' benchmark among young people. Now it seems that Morita Jun still needs to work hard."

"You are right. We at Sony are also studying it, but we do not plan to get involved in the gaming console industry at the moment." Akio Morita replied.

President Ukawa, who is on the side of the Sumitomo Consortium, will naturally discuss with his friends, but his attitude should be lowered a lot because the business owner he invested in is older than him and is much more respected in Japan.

That was the founder of Panasonic Electric Appliances, who is already 86 years old, Mr. Konosuke Matsushita.

He not only has to use crutches when walking, but also has a special support from the life secretary.

"Myonta is too modest. You have done a very good job. After all, the times belong to you young people. Since last year, Panasonic Electric has established a 'Sony Research Institute' under my instruction. We will take apart any new products and ideas from your company and study them."

Akio Morita was very flattered by Matsushita's public comments and was a little amused and a little amused.

No company wants to see it if it is copied and reverse researched.

But Konosuke Matsushita was Akio Morita's idol when he was young. After all, the two were nearly 30 years apart. Panasonic started his business after World War I, while Sony Morita's business only started his business after World War II, which was a generation shortfall.

It is a very honorable thing to be able to be counter-study by one's idols.

However, Matsushita Konosuke's words were lightly removed from the responsibility for expressing his opinions. He publicly stated that he did not understand these new entertainment electronic products, so that President Ukawa would ask Akio Morita if he had any questions.

He just wants to observe quietly, not to comment on the topic. When people reach this age, they are basically so open-minded and too lazy to criticize young people.

The boss grasped the rhythm of the visit throughout the whole process and was quite satisfied with the result.

At least Japanese senior executives admitted that CITIC Trust has invested in a very promising high-tech enterprise, and the new trust funds have played an important role in the company's rapid expansion of market share, accelerated R&D investment, and shortened product listing cycles during the start-up period.

After a few rough glances at the production line equipment and the latest "Tank War" prototype, the boss introduced the person in charge to the Japanese wealthy businessman:

"This is Ms. Han Ting, general manager of Hanle Electronics. She is responsible for the daily operation of the company. This is Mr. Gu Ao, an early shareholder, and the initiator of the company's early creativity.

This is Mr. Yan Lei, the head of the technical department. He once taught in the Department of Applied Mathematics of Zhejiang University. We have also removed the elite troops from various teaching and research institutions and put a lot of effort into the transformation of academic achievements into actual productivity."

Matsushita Konosuke Lao Shen glanced at Yan Lei without commenting.

When Akio Morita observed the reaction of his predecessor, he was also a little alert.

He went out and asked first: "Mr. Yan, I would like to ask, what do you think is the main reason why the 'Thunder Fighter' and 'Tank War' can make a big splash in the market? Or, what do you think are the many design elements of your company that triggered the final market sales? Don't worry, I don't want to learn from you. We Sony have analyzed it myself, but just want to verify it with you to see if the heroes have similar views."

The boss's translator was about to help translate, but Han Ting had already spoken in advance and finished translating in unison.

Then, almost as soon as Akio Morita asked, Han Ting translated and replied: "Mr. Yan said he is a technician and is only responsible for realizing creativity. I'm very sorry."

Akio Morita was stunned: "Does your company have no creative department? It's incredible. How can an entertainment electronics company without a professional creative department develop sustainable? Could it be that these few inspiring ideas will be used up and you will spend your money?"

Han Ting still translated his words loudly at the speed of only being behind Akio Morita. But Han Ting's voice was very pleasant and made people unable to get angry.

The boss was immediately embarrassed and gave his subordinates who were specifically responsible for the investment accounting business a stern look, as if he was blaming them for not preparing for the possible interest points of Japan.

However, his subordinates were also in a dilemma.

No one has ever dealt with the cutting-edge electronics companies in Japan. Who knows what their core competitiveness is most concerned about?

At this moment, Gu Ao retorted by interfering in his affairs, using directly Japanese:

"Mr. Akio Morita, please forgive me for not agreeing with your opinion. When Steve Jobs founded Apple four years ago, he did not have a special creative department. Do you think that the Apple-ii computer is not easy to use and isn't cool enough?

There are a large number of consumer electronics companies in Silicon Valley. It is not only the closed-loop model of Japanese companies, but the only sustainable development model for electronic entertainment companies. Openness does not mean unsustainable."

"Openness does not mean unsustainable?" Akio Morita chewed Gu Ao's famous sayings and found it meaningful, and even forgot to ask Gu Ao why he could speak Japanese.
