Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 267
Wednesday, March 3, at ten o'clock in the morning.

The 23rd floor of Hang Lung ushered in a group of three people from Japan's Lexiang Electronics Company, headed by Mitsumi Tanaka/Tadada, the middle and senior executive of Sony that Fang Zhuo had met twice.

However, this time they met, the other party seemed to have changed their identity.

Due to time constraints, it was difficult for Fang Zhuo to find out what kind of company Japan Lexiang was. He didn't know whether it belonged to Sony, nor did he understand why the other party came to visit Yike.

"Mr. Fang, this is a gift I brought to you. It's not a respect."

Tanaka's attitude is very low, and he handed over his business card and a set of beautifully packaged gifts as soon as they met.

"Tanaka-kun, Mr. Tian." Fang Zhuo stared at the business card in his hand for a few seconds, changed his address, and asked suspiciously, "Is Lexiang a company under Sony? Excuse me, Mr. Tian is here. It surprised me."

Tanaka told a little lie: "Lexiang is an electronics company I founded, and it has received investment from Sony."

He apologized again: "Boss Fang, I took the liberty of making this trip, and I really disturbed you."

Fang Zhuo put down his business card, smiled and shook his head.

Mitsu Tanaka introduced two companions, both of whom are Japanese. They can't speak Chinese, but only Japanese and English. However, they have learned how to say hello in Chinese before coming here, so they have a little sincerity.

"Mr. Fang, this is Tang Dynasty porcelain made by our Japanese master. I hope you like it." Mitsu Tanaka spared no effort to express his kindness.

Fang Zhuo glanced at Mi Tanaka, and reached out to open one of the boxes, which contained white porcelain.

Mitsu Tanaka took the white porcelain from the young CEO politely, and eloquently introduced the origin of this porcelain to him.

Fang Zhuo smiled as he listened to a Japanese introduce the white porcelain from the Tang Dynasty imitated by his country, and felt that as long as this person did not feel that it was against harmony, then he would also feel that it was against harmony.

After a while, Fang Zhuo took the white porcelain again, and said with a smile, "I like white porcelain very much, because art always comes from life."

Mito Tanaka nodded, and asked, "I think Fang always expresses his feelings. Does he also have research on porcelain?"

The last time Fang Zhuo was discussing things like porcelain with someone, he was still worried about money, but now he was holding the exquisite white porcelain, but he didn't have the slightest interest in having an affair with the Japanese, and slowly put it back into the box.

He did have some research and experience on white porcelain. As one of the representatives of works of art in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, he even knew that this imitation was an imitation of Xingbai porcelain, but the Japanese did not mention this.

The curve of Baici, um, is very lifelike, and I like it very much.

"Mr. Tian, ​​thank you very much for the gift you gave me. I like it very much." Fang Zhuo closed the lid of the box and said bluntly, "I don't like to go round and round. If Mr. Tian has something to say, I think we should have a good time." valuable."

Mitsu Tanaka's complexion changed a little bit, he didn't expect that he didn't get some euphemistic remarks for his kindness.

He bowed his head and said sincerely: "Mr. Fang, I like your company's M1 music player very much. I think it has better quality than the American company's Ipod, but it also provides consumers with a more favorable price. I am very happy." I admire you."

Fang Zhuo let out a "hmm" in his nasal cavity, but didn't express his opinion, and still didn't understand what this guy was going to do.

"Lexiang Electronics was founded by me out of this kind of love. I really hope to try the mp3 music player market. I heard that Yike has its own assembly line. Can you let us visit it?" Tanaka's eyes There was a pleading light in it.

Fang Zhuo was inexplicably surprised, what did he think?

He spat out two words: "No."

For a while, there were no other voices in the meeting room. The Japanese did not expect that this Chinese person was not polite at all, and Fang Zhuo couldn't think of anything else to say.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Tanaka broke the situation and changed the request: "Mr. Fang, to be honest, Lexiang Electronics intends to expand the market of mp3 music players in Tokyo, but they encountered a problem with Toshiba's contract in terms of micro hard drives. Three-party supply."

Fang Zhuo said naturally: "There is such a thing. As far as I know, Apple has also signed a long-term supply contract with Toshiba."

"I wonder if Yike can distribute some sources of micro-hard drives to Lexiang Electronics? We are willing to raise the price." Mito Tanaka begged again, this time adding a bow and half bow.

Fang Zhuo still didn't understand this person's thinking, and still answered in two words: "No."

Tanaka's back is a little stiff, why is this Fang always different from many Chinese people?In the face of foreign companies, foreign friends, and requests for higher prices to buy goods, shouldn't it be a friendly gesture that considers demeanor and relationships?
Many of his friends have talked about dealing with Chinese people, saying that they are very generous and understanding.

Now it seems that Mr. Fang is not generous and understanding.

Tanaka was very sad.

"Boss Tian said just now that he wanted to develop the Tokyo market." Fang Zhuo said leisurely, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to supply the hard disk, but it's stipulated in the contract, which is a violation of regulations."

Tanaka Mi hurriedly bowed and apologized again, expressing that he was not clear about this.

Fang Zhuo was a little suspicious of the other party's intentions. What if he deliberately induced his side to violate the rules after knowing it?Will that be able to squeeze out Yike and let Lexiang get goods from Toshiba?

He continued: "Yike has no idea of ​​doing business in Tokyo. If that's the case, at least we don't have a competitive relationship right now."

When Tanaka heard the word "at least", he felt that Mr. Fang was quite hostile to him.

"Our Yike has an independent assembly line with excellent design technology. Lexiang Electronics has just been established, and Yike is willing to provide OEM services for you." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Mitsu Tanaka quickly changed his mind and said hesitantly, "Didn't Mr. Fang just say that there is a contract?"

"The finished product is not the same as the parts. We, Yike, can confirm the authorization with Toshiba. If it is not possible, we also have Hitachi flash memory machines, and we have already proved its success with the market response." Fang Zhuo is persuasive, "Our OEM It would not be said that it was produced by Huaxia at all, what Lexiang got was a local brand with excellent Japanese design."

Tanaka's eyelids twitched.

Fang Zhuo stared closely at the Japanese face, and slowly said: "Of course, Lexiang has Sony's investment, and I believe it can spend several months purchasing the most suitable parts and designing the most mature products."

Tanaka Mimi tried to keep his expression unchanged.

"But in the past few months, it's hard for me to guarantee that Yike won't be interested in the Tokyo market." Fang Zhuo said softly.

Tanaka's expression changed.

He gets angry!
He bowed angrily!
He said angrily and sincerely: "Mr. Fang, you are threatening, and you are very unethical!"

"Isn't it that you want to see our production line first and get the goods from us?" Fang Zhuo was still a little puzzled by this, but it didn't stop him from saying calmly, "Even if it's a threat, you delivered it yourself. "

Tanaka straightened his back.

Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "It's not a threat, after all, Lexiang has Sony behind it, and our competition is based on small things."

Mikoto Tanaka bent over, Yi Ke's small attack on Sony was big, and Colexiang did the same to Yi Ke.

He was silent for a while: "If OEM OEM, we have to sign a contract, Yike can not enter the Japanese market."

"Well, I guarantee it with my business ethics." Fang Zhuo nodded and smiled.

It is true that Yike has no idea to enter Tokyo for the time being. The Japanese market is different from other places and is very stubborn.

But if it is replaced by a defector from Sony, maybe he can really speed up and shake the giant.

　There are double monthly tickets on the 28th...
