Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong - Chapter 1165
With a “sense of identity” between each other, the relationship between Shi Zhijian and Carlos seems to be much more familiar.
Carlos is full of curiosity about Shi Zhijian and thinks that he is young and promising, with extraordinary achievements.
Shi Zhijian is also full of curiosity about this “auto tycoon”, who can dominate the global auto market without two brushes.
The two walked towards the Bentley Building while trying each other out with words.
Entering the lobby from the back door, while taking the elevator, Carlos suddenly asked Shi Zhijian a question: “Mr. Shi, why do you want to make an electric car and invest so much?”
Shi Zhijian looked at Carlos and smiled: “If I say that electric vehicles and artificial intelligence will dominate the future world, what do you think?”
Shi Zhijian’s light sentence was full of philosophy and science fiction, and the others in the elevator didn’t do much, but it made Carlos think deeply.
Since he entered the industry, Carlos has been operating in the automotive industry. For him, every detail and process of the automotive industry is familiar to him and cannot be familiar anymore. It is precisely because he is too familiar that Carlos can’t see clearly. The future of the automotive industry.
Shi Zhijian’s words surprised him and opened a door to the future for him.
“Electric vehicles, artificial intelligence? Mr. Shi, can you explain a little more clearly?” Carlos humbly asked for advice.
The others looked at Carlos in surprise.
Especially those subordinates of Carlos, they clearly know that their CEO has always been arrogant and arrogant, and rarely asks others so proactively, and his attitude is very low.
“You always know about Transformers, right?”
“Uh, Transformers?” Carlos looked bewildered.
Shi Zhijian knew the slip of the tongue immediately. The last time and space “Transformers” was born in 1984. At that time, the American “Hasbro” company developed this new toy model for children in order to open up the market. King Kong swept the world.
It’s only 1972, how could it appear?
Although he made a slip of the tongue, Shi Zhijian said calmly, “Oh, that’s right! This is a marketing concept that our Shinhwa Group will do in order to promote the electric vehicles we will manufacture in the future – Transformers!”
Carlos was immediately intrigued: “How do you say it?”
“In the future, cars will be electrified and artificially intelligentized, so I combine these two conditions to launch a toy called Transformers. These Transformers are all kinds of cars, which can be transformed into all kinds of King Kong by changing their shapes. robot!”
Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhijian eloquently talked about “Optimus Prime”, “Megatron”, “Bumblebee” and the like.
Not to mention the children, even Carlos was stunned by these novel contents.
The people who accompanied them on the elevator didn’t pay much attention at first, but after Shi Zhijian’s introduction, they were all stunned, convinced by Shi Zhijian’s whimsy, and said in their heart: “No wonder people are able to take charge of the great mythology group at such a young age. Look at this talent, it’s a genius!”
If Carlos still had a little pride at the beginning, then at this moment, he was also shocked by Shi Zhijian’s talent.
Car marketing is his forte, and the “Transformers” marketing concept proposed by Shi Zhijian directly overwhelms all his previous marketing methods.
Just imagine, developing children’s toys, shooting cartoons, and finally feeding it back to the marketing of electric vehicles. The three aspects form a closed loop, and each link can make a lot of money. Only a genius can come up with such a strategy.
Immediately, Carlos said what he said in his heart, and praised it as a brand-new marketing method. From toys to animation to electric vehicles, it forms a huge ecological chain. If it is operated properly, the future profits will be unimaginable.
Carlos’ remarks, in turn, shocked Shi Zhijian, and couldn’t help but look at this “car tycoon” one more time. No wonder this person can become a leader in the global auto industry in his thirties. This is an unusual brain. It’s just the beginning, this person narrates the entire “marketing ecological chain”!
Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian hurriedly stabilized his mind and pretended to understate: “Mr. Ghosn, you talked a lot, this is indeed my future marketing plan, I didn’t expect you to see through it! In addition, things like ‘Transformers’ are too early We preemptively registered the patent, the toy model design is already on the way, and the animation shooting will follow closely, so I will tell you this without reservation, please understand!”
Shi Zhijian said this in his mouth, but said in his heart: “Amu Pu, hurry up and register when you go back! This Carlos is not easy, if he is robbed first, it will be a big trouble!”
As soon as he heard Shi Zhijian’s words, Carlos, who had some other thoughts at first, immediately dismissed this thought—to tell the truth, he did plan to register the patent first, there are no friends in the business field, only competitors, as long as It’s the right thing to do to win.
Think about it too, if people are not fully sure, how can they tell you these secret plans clearly. Unless that person is a second fool.
How did Carlos know that the seemingly shrewd Mr. Shi in front of him almost became a “second fool” just now.
……
Boom—-!
At this moment, the elevator door opened.
Carlos hurriedly invited Shi Zhijian to walk to the VIP room arranged on the floor, and said, “Mr. Shi, before signing the contract, our president invites you to meet in the VIP room, do you mind?”
“I don’t mind, I have also admired Mrs. Deborah for a long time, and it is rare to have a good communication with her!”
“this way please!”
Soon, surrounded by Carlos and others, Shi Zhijian came to the door of the VIP hall.
dong dong dong!
Carlos knocked on the door lightly: “Hello, ma’am, Mr. Shi Zhijian has arrived!”
“Invite him in!”
“Yes!”
Carlos gently opened the door, and Shi Zhijian entered with a smile.
As soon as he entered, the door behind him closed again.
Shi Zhijian was slightly surprised. He thought that Carlos and others would come in together, but he didn’t expect to let him in alone.
Looking at the huge VIP room, it belongs to the high-end suite style. The decoration of the room is gorgeous, with thick carpets under the feet and glazed chandeliers overhead, reflecting the splendor of the surrounding.
Shi Zhijian stood at the door of the VIP hall, as if he were in a small palace.
Just when Shi Zhijian wondered why this VIP room was so luxuriously decorated, a voice said, “Mr. Shi Zhijian?”
Only then did Shi Zhijian see clearly that there was an old lady sitting on the sofa not far away. She was thin and looked like the “old bone” that Yan Xiong called Mrs. Deborah.
Shi Zhijian walked over with a smile, “Hello, Mrs. Deborah!”
The other party nodded, stood up from the sofa, glanced at Shi Zhijian, and said, “Please forgive me for being rude. I’m getting older, and I’m sick and sometimes it’s a problem to stand.”
“It doesn’t matter!” Shi Zhijian extended his hand to help Mrs. Deborah stand up, “Nice to meet you!”
“Don’t be too happy too soon!”
“Uh?”
Deborah ignored Shi Zhijian’s surprise, “By the way, what would you like to drink? Red wine, whiskey, or your green tea?”
It was only then that Shi Zhijian discovered that there was no service staff in the huge VIP room. Obviously, Mrs. Deborah was going to pour wine and make tea for him by herself.
“No, you also know that I’m not here to drink and drink tea.”
Deborah smiled and looked at Shi Zhijian: “I really like your approach that is not hypocritical or polite! Sometimes we British people are more hypocritical than you Chinese people, especially those so-called gentleman’s demeanor, in my opinion, all are Shit! In business, if you succeed, you won’t succeed if you don’t succeed, what is it?!”
“Huh?” Shi Zhijian once again glanced at the miraculous Mrs. Deborah in surprise, and understood how “suffering” Yan Xiong had been during this time.
In the face of Mrs. Deborah, who is so forthright that “if you can’t do it, just do it”, Yan Xiong must have suffered a lot.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Zhijian stared at Deborah with a twinkle in his eyes: “Then in your opinion, is the cooperation between our Shinhwa and your group okay?”
Shi Zhijian also understood why he appeared here alone. It seemed that if he wanted to successfully sign the contract, he had to pass the hurdle in front of him. He just didn’t know what the **** Mrs. Deborah was doing, and what conditions were you going to talk about?
Mrs. Deborah smiled, took a step, walked to the minibar with a staggering posture, took a bottle of Bordeaux, opened the cork and poured a glass to signal Shi Zhijian: “You really don’t want a drink?”
Shi Zhijian shook his head.
“You know, Mr. Shi Zhijian!” Mrs. Deborah took a sip of wine, and a smile appeared on her thin and pale face: “Our Bentley company has become the target of public criticism because it wants to sell production lines to you, and has been called a traitor by the outside world. It is also said that our Bentley company has lost its rights and humiliated the country… If we really sign a contract with you, we will suffer unprecedented pressure!”
“Then what conditions are you going to attach?” Shi Zhijian didn’t bother to talk to people who were fickle and didn’t abide by the agreement, and went straight to the point.
Deborah smiled: “Are you angry? It’s the same for me. After all, we have already reached an agreement verbally, but now I’m back on my side. It’s very annoying! Why don’t you drink a glass of red wine to extinguish the fire?”
“No, you still need to talk about the conditions!”
“Since this is the case, I will say it with a cheeky face.” Mrs. Deborah restrained her smile and said with a serious tone: “Please withdraw the policy agreement with the Tang Financial Company!”
“Uh, what?” Shi Zhijian was slightly taken aback, thinking that Mrs. Deborah was preparing to temporarily increase the price and wanted to add more money to the 400 million acquisition funds, but she didn’t expect that she would be more ruthless than she thought, and even wanted Shi Zhijian to give up the right Insurance Claims from Down Financial Corporation!
Shi Zhijian laughed in anger and walked straight over, not treating himself as an outsider at all. He took the wine glass by himself, instead of drinking red wine, he poured a glass of vodka and drank it all in one go.
Mrs. Deborah just looked at him so quietly, didn’t say anything, didn’t do anything.
Shi Zhijian drank a glass of strong wine, only to feel his throat burning hot, his abdomen seemed to be breathing fire, and then he smiled resolutely at Mrs. Deborah: “Do you know how much the insurance policy is worth? Three billion! To be exact, three billion pounds! Now! You make me give up with one word, do you think you are worthy?”
Shi Zhijian’s words were full of sarcasm, and his tone was even more sinister. Even if Mrs. Deborah had a deep sense of self-discipline, she couldn’t help but her face changed greatly——
At this moment, a voice said, “She’s not worthy, so dear Viscount Shi Zhijian, look at me—Am I worthy?”
As he spoke, he saw a noble and gorgeous woman slowly walking out of the suite, with a long skirt dragging the floor, a noble temperament, her eyes were even more stern, and her whole body was full of indescribable aura!
Seeing the noble woman for the first time, Shi Zhijian felt that his face was familiar, and immediately he knew who the other party was, and his expression changed immediately!
The noble woman looked at Shi Zhijian’s “stunned” appearance, and seemed very satisfied with Shi Zhijian’s performance. Holding her long skirt, she walked towards Shi Zhijian Shanshan.
Shi Zhijian can see more clearly, although the other party is in his forties, because of the proper maintenance, he looks like a young woman in her thirties, with fair skin and a distinct facial contour, especially the high bridge of the nose, which makes people feel unapproachable!
When he saw the person who came, Shi Zhijian already knew that this war with Downey might be over for the time being.
……
When Shi Zhijian came out of the VIP room, the frail Mrs. Deborah accompanied him.
Mrs. Deborah looked at Shi Zhijian with a gloomy expression and said, “You should be very satisfied with the result! Downey abides by the spirit of the contract and compensates you with one billion pounds. As a Viscount of the British Empire, out of admiration for the British royal family, Take the initiative to donate 200 million pounds to the other party! As for you, excluding the 300 million pounds as a guarantee, and the 200 million donated, not only will you get the remaining 500 million, but you will also be canonized as an earl! Fame and fortune!”
Shi Zhijian smiled wryly: “What was originally three billion suddenly turned into one billion, and it has shrunk by two-thirds! That doesn’t count. In the end, another 200 million will be donated. Is this how you Britons cheat people?”
Deborah looked at Shi Zhijian’s frantic appearance~www.mtlnovel.com~ for some reason she couldn’t help laughing: “You are a smart person, it is absolutely impossible to compensate 3 billion pounds! Especially in a place like the UK, Tang’s finance has been affected. The company is equivalent to moving the financial foundation of the UK! Even if you consider the British to pay attention to the spirit of contract, you will not play yourself to death!”
Shi Zhijian looked at Deborah in surprise: “Madam, you are very straightforward!”
“The fact is that the so-called contract spirit is what we British people tell outsiders, and let outsiders obey; as for us, we are all descendants of Viking pirates, and we have always followed the spirit of pirates. Grab it when you pass it, and run away as soon as you get it!”
Shi Zhijian was once again impressed by Mrs. Deborah, who was about to be buried in the ground.
“You don’t have to look at me like this. I’m terminally ill and there is no cure. Now I’m comfortable telling you a few truths!” Mrs. Deborah continued, “Anyway, you still won this time. If the three billion pounds continue You can’t afford to waste your time. The most important thing here is the UK, where Downey is based. You are not as good as him in terms of laws and connections, so what if you are rational? We British are just unreasonable!”
