Chapter Sixty-Four: Ring Suite
=================================
They are now in a venue in the Imperial Capital, and Yamazaki and Otsu have just entered the venue. The two of them are already trembling with rage. Before they can even figure out who is competing against them, they will be forced to face off against their opponent!
Early in the morning, Wan Hong Corporation received a notice. They will attend a seminar to confirm project cooperation. And it is limited to only the person in charge and two others attending.
Yamasaki brought his own secretary and arrived with Otsu. As soon as they arrived at the venue, their faces changed immediately.
The venue was not only attended by them, but also by people from two Japanese companies - Tomita Shōsha and Obata Corporation. These two companies, although not well-known in the outside world, are extremely powerful competitors for Wan Hung Corporation.
But then, an even more astonishing scene appeared: Nelson actually smiled and appeared on the scene, while the Chinese personnel present directly used stiff English to say.
"After careful consideration, we have decided to entrust this project to Nelson Business Co., Ltd. for overall responsibility. Mr. Nelson will represent us in negotiations with you and others. The subsequent project implementation will be directly responsible to our side by Mr. Nelson."
After finishing, several Chinese personnel nodded and left the venue. One of them, Otsu Jun, looked very familiar, and it wasn't until a while later that he remembered that this was Liang Sanping, who had negotiated on behalf of Otsu Jun and others at the time!
"Director! We've been played by the Chinese..." But then Otsu Yunosuke smiled wryly and said, "This Nelson is not simple, he must have his own connections in the high levels of China. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gained their trust to this extent..."
"It's too late to say anything now! We had planned to get rid of Nelson from the start and have him take on this project himself, but now he's caught us red-handed. Do you think we can still come out looking good?!"
Otsu Yurika's face turned pale upon hearing the words. Both of her hands were trembling. She had already thought of the consequences, and Yamazaki was even more painfully closing his eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to have won the trust of the Chinese side to host this bidding. The project we are bidding on is the sales cooperation project for China's Qiongdao Vegetable Industry Base!"
Nelson is now very pleased, with boundless admiration for Liang Sanping's skills. In just a few days, he was still running around in Japan, but suddenly received a notice from the Chinese Embassy in Japan.
Have him rush to China immediately to discuss cooperation on vegetable sales in Qiong Island for Nelson Business Co., Ltd. Upon receiving this news, Nelson's first reaction was shock, followed by overwhelming joy!
No one knows better than him what this thing means. Being notified by the embassy indicates that, firstly, it has already been officially recognized by China.
Secondly, under Liang Sanping's operation, this matter has received high attention from the Chinese side. Thirdly, without a doubt, from now on, the Chinese side will take control of this matter by itself!
So, how much profit will Nelson Business Co., Ltd. make? It's easy to imagine!
And what about his own shares, how much profit will he gain?! Thinking of this, Nelson almost jumped up with joy! He couldn't wait to fly back to China and give his benefactor, Liang Sanping, a big hug and a kiss!
Of course, he met Liang Sanping as soon as he got off the plane. However, Liang Sanping, who came to pick him up, looked extremely tired, although this matter had been successful now.
But the pressure that comes with it is even greater.
Lan Cheng, Mu Shan, and Ge Tai. These elderly people who support me have almost lost face to help me, if I don't achieve some results this time.
So the old man's lifelong reputation would undoubtedly be tarnished by an indelible stain. The pressure was immense. Therefore, after receiving Nelson, he could only force a polite smile.
He then spoke about the current situation and his own plans on the car. It was simple, after discussion, the upper level decided to hand over this activity to Nelson for execution.
There is no doubt that the upper echelons have already sensed the inside situation of Nelson Business Co., Ltd. Since China holds a large number of shares, it is not impossible for this company to operate in this matter.
"Import of industrial machinery and foreign exchange deposit are the two things that need to be discussed first. Only then can we talk about assistance in agricultural machinery and fertilizers..."
Liang Sanping briefly introduced the situation to Nelson in the car and said, "This matter not only concerns the life and death of 'Nelson Business Company', but also more about how much trust you will gain from us in the future."
"You know, we're gradually taking big strides now. If you're a trustworthy friend to us at this time, believe me, you'll not only become a rich man in the future... but can even enter politics..."
"But if you betray our trust, it will be impossible for you to win us back again. You may even end up on the blacklist of our cooperation and never have another chance to work with us..."
Entering the political arena?!! Nelson's eyes widened in shock, good grief! He could just shake his body and become a political figure. But Nelson didn't think Liang Sanping was bragging.
On the contrary, he thought it was practical. If Nelson's business really took on this big project and won the trust of the Chinese side, then sales and profits would skyrocket in geometric multiples.
This is beyond doubt. And if China had no development potential, its old customer, Caterpillar Inc., would not have given in on previous conflicts and organized a business delegation to visit China for inspection.
"Don't worry, Liang! I'll become the most trustworthy friend you've ever had!" Nelson vowed solemnly, as if swearing an oath. Meanwhile, Liang Sanping just smiled and offered a few words of encouragement before falling fast asleep.
He was under too much pressure and couldn't even guarantee his sleep.
"So now I'd like to introduce our project to everyone..." Nelson pulled out a stack of documents and handed them to the three Japanese companies below.
"Firstly, our company Nelson Business Co., Ltd. has already reached an agreement with the Chinese side. We will plan to use 300 mu of land in Qiong Island Baoting area and Jianghai Farm as a preliminary vegetable planting experimental base."
"This 300-acre planting base will have an all-around cooperation with the two academies in South China. With eco-friendliness, greenness and environmental protection as its theme, it will specially cultivate non-polluting green vegetables for export."
But Nelson said here, paused and said: "Of course, we will set up a specialized inspection agency with our cooperative partners to conduct precise analysis and testing of the chemical components left in vegetables."
Nelson couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Liang Sanping's idea was indeed thorough, and now it had reached the critical point of food safety inspection.
It is worth noting that even Japan today is also being severely neglected in this regard. As a late-developing country, and having been closed off from the outside world for so long, Liang Sanping was able to pay attention to this issue.
Nelson didn't know that Liang Sanping had a deep pain! The food safety issues of later generations have become a hidden pain for the entire society.
What cyanamide, what oil, what dioxin (you all understand)...... and so on, making people fearful and helpless. Liang Sanping really wants to cut off the source of all these things before they happen.
He wants to establish an independent inspection agency that is not controlled by capital and other forces, with extremely strong credibility. As long as the credibility is established, food enterprises will have to obtain the trial approval of this institution to enter the market.
But now it's too early to talk about this, Liang Sanping needs to take it one step at a time, first of all, he needs to make use of this opportunity to establish the embryonic form of such an institution.
Then comes the gradual construction of this institution. Building credibility among the public, ultimately forcing food providers to have their products inspected by them in order to enter the market.
"Of course, our partners can also send personnel to our vegetable base in Hainan Island for real-time monitoring of production. If there are any questions or doubts, they can be raised and negotiated..."
Nelson read out several pages of documents, the contents of which were carefully recorded by two Japanese companies below. Only Yamazaki and Otsuka were allowed to listen to Nelson's reading.
They had already lost hope from the bottom of their hearts. They even felt that Nelson on stage was intentionally or unintentionally casting an unusual glance at them.
Those eyes were like needles piercing their bodies. But they couldn't just turn around and leave, as there were still two Japanese companies here.
If I were to leave now, then both my own and Baymax Co., Ltd.'s reputation in Japanese business would be completely ruined.
Every minute now is unbearable for Yamazaki and Otsu Yū. They just hope that this introduction will end as soon as possible, so they can leave this place that makes them feel extremely humiliated and embarrassed.
The representatives of the other two Japanese companies are also very strange, why Yamazaki and Otsu did not even take notes. Have they already understood the Chinese side's bidding conditions?!
But it doesn't seem very similar, so are they going to give up on this bidding?! Although I'm puzzled, for these two companies now, the most important thing is to listen clearly to China's requirements.
"Leung, can you tell me why Bayhong Corporation has already sold us out, and yet we still want to choose to cooperate with them?!" Nelson on the stage suddenly remembered the topic he had discussed with Leung Sanping before the meeting.
"Nelson, you don't understand the Japanese. But I do." Liang Sanping smiled and said: "The Japanese have a temperament, which I call 'dog temperament'!"
"In short, they will be unable to refuse the demands put forth by the victor."
"In this struggle, there is no doubt that we are the victors. We directly smashed their attempt to shake us off. As victors, we can get more from them than from other Japanese companies!"
Li Sanping smiled and explained to Nelson, "For example, after the war, you Americans set up military bases in Japan. Even if Japan itself pays for it, provides land, and even American troops and Americans are superior to locals. Most Japanese people also accept this."
"It's simple, this is their 'victor's logic'. The victor is always right. Even if they are wrong, they will silently accept it. Even if the conditions of the victor are rude, they will still accept."
"Compared to other Japanese companies, we are not the winners. If we want to gain some advantages, we need to negotiate hard. But for Wan Hong Corporation......" Liang Sanping looked at Nelson and said word by word: "We are the winners!"
"As we are the victors, it is natural that we have the qualifications to make some demands of them..."
"Of course, more importantly..." Liang Sanping said to Nelson: "As losers, they are guilty. From now on, they will be much more cautious when playing tricks on us. At least, they have failed before. And paid the price for it. When they prepare to betray again, they will consider whether they can afford this price."
Although Nelson did not understand the psychology of Japanese people, it did not prevent him from observing the psychological state of Yamazaki and others. The current state of Yamazaki and others is unmistakable.
Nelson can easily find that Yamazaki and Otsu Yor are in a state of "Myna". It's a state where one has given up and no longer makes an effort.
In this state, we can call it "despair".
If at this time, give them a glimmer of hope, would they die to grasp it?! Nelson was secretly laughing in his heart, Liang Sanping's success was indeed not accidental.
His understanding of his opponents has exceeded their understanding of him. The closed China for so many years makes the outside world look at flowers in the fog and gaze at the moon in the water.
And here, suddenly popped out a person who is extremely familiar with the psychological character, work style and business rules of Japanese people. The result of such a person's confrontation with Wan Hong Corporation has already been seen.
"...so our terms are roughly as follows. There are a few documents here, you can take them back and have a look." Nelson said with a smile as he had the documents distributed.
"Due to time constraints, we will be tendering for the three companies in half a month. Please prepare the bidding documents within this timeframe."
"After the final evaluation by a panel of experts including those from the two South China institutions, we will announce the winning bidder. Let me remind you again that this cooperation is for a period of two years. In other words, after two years, we will re-tender!"
The bidding explanation meeting came to an end, and the crowd dispersed. Yamazaki and Otsuka followed the secretary out of the conference hall like fools, without even greeting other Japanese companies...
