838 [Running Storm] Under
Toshiba, a subsidiary of Mitsui Group, cooperates with Wanda Electronics to create a new future for mobile phone communications.
The news was quickly confirmed and released.
Before Sony and Sharp could issue a response strategy, Toshiba issued another notice - in terms of future mobile phone business, Wanda Electronics will acquire Toshiba mobile phones, and will be the first to release a new model of Toshiba mobile phone products that can play games, send MMS, and record audio and videos within a month - this product is named "Miracle"!
As soon as this news came out, Wanda and Toshiba's ambitions were revealed, which was to occupy the entire Japanese mobile phone market.
In fact, this is also the condition proposed by Yasuo Mitsui and Song Zhichao when signing the contract. Mitsui provided Song Zhichao with a steady stream of semiconductor raw materials, while Song Zhichao helped Toshiba mobile phones, a subsidiary of Mitsui Group, occupy the Japanese market.
Song Zhichao accepted this with pleasure, because in Song Zhichao's view, the Japanese market is just a piece of cake and can be given to Mitsui as a person. Song Zhichao is targeting the international market, Asia, Europe and the United States, and that is the battlefield that Song Zhichao wants to seize.
Of course, mobile phones are actually just an introduction. Song Zhichao currently has three major brands, Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola, and can dominate the global mobile phone market. But this is not Song Zhichao's ultimate goal. Song Zhichao's ultimate goal is to build a "communication empire" across the three major regions of Asia, Europe and Africa.
To establish such an empire, we need to create a continuous stream of new mobile phones and build more large and complex communication base stations. This requires the use of sufficient and abundant semiconductor raw materials as the foundation, so cooperation with Mitsui Group is imperative.
At this time, the entire Japanese mobile phone market had a drastic change in just three days. Sharp Group, which originally wanted to enter the North American mobile phone market, announced a high-profile announcement to suspend its entry plan - there was no way, even Japan could not handle it, so how could it be that there was no face to enter North America?
As a Sharp boss, Nagaki Hayakawa had to ask someone to find a relationship, hoping to contact Song Zhichao and discuss the issue of "technical cooperation". In Hayakawa's view, everything in this world can be negotiated, even if Song Zhichao has signed a contract with Yasuo Mitsui.
In contrast, Sony Morita Akio, who had fought with Song Zhichao and knew his background, understood a lot. He did not have such fantasies at all, and even told others that Hayakawa Nagaki would definitely be disappointed this time.
Sure enough, Akio Morita guessed that Hayakawa Nagaki went through a lot of hardships to contact Fu Qingying, the Japanese head of Wanda Electronics. Fu Qingying told him with a smile, "Sorry, Mr. Song Zhichao has left Japan and returned to Hong Kong!"
Hayakawa Nagaki: "..."

Hong Kong, Mong Kok Region—
As the most concentrated place for Hong Kong banks, Mong Kok is convenient for transportation and has developed subway and bus connections, so it has become a "soldier-square-martial arts" for many banking companies.
At this time, a long queue of Hong Kong's first Chinese-funded bank, "Hua Investment Bank", was waiting for the bank to open recently, and countless citizens and depositors were anxiously waiting for the bank to open.
It turned out that news came not long ago that some people said that Hua Investment Bank is a big bank that is "strong on the outside but hard on the inside" and is "insufficient financial resources". This time, Song Zhichao, the boss behind the China Investment Bank, took away Hua Investment Bank's 10 billion US dollars in order to save the electronics industry in Japan, which made Hua Investment Bank "heavy debt".
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in Hong Kong. Many depositors immediately doubted whether the Chinese investment bank was really "strong from outside and strong"; at the same time, they heard that a large depositor actually withdrew hundreds of millions of funds from the Chinese investment bank overnight. This was amazing. Those depositors began to turn from suspicion to crazy runs, and came to the bank to exchange currency.
Even if the head of the China Investment Bank has repeatedly denied rumors and published news in newspaper advertisements, it cannot stop these depositors.
No, for a week, the Huainan Investment Bank was crowded every day, and even many depositors who had originally deposited in the bank for a fixed period also rushed to withdraw cash.
At this time, a female reporter from Hong Kong TVB TV Station was also conducting an interview on the spot.
The female reporter caught an old man, interviewed him, and asked him why he got up so early to come to the investment banking position in China.
The old man spoke in Cantonese, "This bank is dangerous. I heard that the vault has no money long ago. If I don't withdraw cash, I will lose all my money at that time... You know, we old people live on these coffins. How can we live without money?"
An old lady next to her interrupted, "I've heard from people that the Hua Investment Bank not only has no money in the treasury, but also owes a lot of money from the company. If you have to sue, you will definitely go bankrupt..."
When the people around him lined up to run, they nodded, "Yes, we are all workers, or office workers, and they have no money... Saving money is also to deal with urgent needs. If the bank really goes bankrupt, we will burn charcoal and jump off the building."

Not far from China Investment Bank, in the office of Citibank—
As the president, Puliman and Citibank President Joander looked at the dragon who was standing in front of the China Investment Bank with a pleasant expression.
"God, this scene is so grand, I am simply fascinated by him!" Puliman said, holding up a champagne glass.
"Yes, this is a touching scene. The Chinese are so easy to incite. We just need to secretly release some news." Joander said shaking the champagne.
"It's still Lord Soros's calculations are accurate. We just withdraw the money we saved in the past, which makes the Hua Investment Bank almost collapse. Now we just need to overwhelm the last straw..."
"You mean..."
"Yes, Lord Soros needs to take action himself!"
According to the plan, under this situation, Soros only needs to stand up and shout, "Quantum Fund acquires Huatou Bank", and everything will come naturally.

Hua Investment Bank, inside the company building—
As the first president of Hua Investment Bank, Fu Yunheng was wearing a long gown and looked at the crowd of runs downstairs with worry from a high place following the floor-to-ceiling window.
Behind him are a group of shareholders and senior executives of Hua Investment Bank.
Lin Wannian, one of the shareholders of Hua Investment Bank, also looked downstairs and said to Fu Yunheng: "To be honest, no one wants this situation to happen, but now we must have a strategy to deal with it."
Another shareholder next to him, Liu Luanxiong said: "It is obvious that someone is targeting the bank run storm of China Investment Bank. If it is not handled properly, China Investment Bank will be doomed."
"I have already said that I have to join the China Investment Bank. Now I have been plotted against me. I don't know how to die when we die!" Another shareholder named Cao said sarcastically, "Fortunately, I don't have much investment, and even if I lose, it's okay. But you are different. If you don't take the opportunity to withdraw your investment now, you won't have time!"
This shareholder named Cao is named "Cao Dezheng". He is engaged in foreign clothing business in Hong Kong. He was originally an insider who "minded people" entered the China Investment Bank. At this time, he saw the wind suddenly change and he was fanning the flames here, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
Fu Yunheng didn't know what Cao Dezheng was thinking, and snorted coldly: "Hua Investment Bank has not reached that level yet, so don't exaggerate here anymore."
"I'm not exaggerating, I'm talking about the facts - everyone knows that this time, President Song went to Japan to take away a billion US dollars in China Investment Bank. Now the bank vault is probably not even a single one. How can I deal with these runs of customers? Could it be that I would like to ask the Hong Kong police to drive them away?"
Fu Yunheng: “…”
There is nothing to say.
After all, everything is true, and the customers who are queuing outside Hua Investment Bank are also clear. If Hua Investment Bank can't afford to deal with the current crisis this time, there may be a possibility of bankruptcy.
Others were silent.
After all, most people are shareholders, and at this time they are concerned about their own interests first. Take Liu Luanxiong as an example. He no longer spoke at this time. He invested nearly one billion US dollars.
Seeing that no one responded, Cao Dezheng was even more proud: "So, President Song is the smartest. He took one billion and ran away to Japan, leaving us shareholders half dead..."
Before Cao Dezheng could finish his words, a voice said, "Who said I ran away with the money?"
The sound is clear and loud, full of shock.
