Chapter 404 The first ally(1/3)
After the agreement was signed, Sean immediately became energetic. He was not active in making money and had a problem with his thinking!
It will take half a year to get the money for the propeller aircraft project.
But he will need a large amount of money within the next six months, so he can only make plans elsewhere.
Sean had no doubts about whether he could scrape the oil from the notebook.
It is now 1988, when Benzi is the richest and most arrogant, clamoring to buy the whole world.
No, it’s no longer clamoring, it’s action.
Sony is already negotiating with CBS to acquire Columbia Pictures, and Sanleng is also negotiating with Rockefeller Center Management Company to acquire Soul of America.
I heard old man David say before that the negotiations started at the end of 1987. After all, they are not Sean. When negotiating, they have to spend every penny and there is no negotiation efficiency.
Sean couldn't remember when the acquisition was finally completed in his previous life, but the progress was not slow.
Although the specific content of the negotiations is being carried out in secret, they are all insiders and the circle is so large, some unimportant things will still be spread out.
What's more, it's impossible for Rockefeller Center to keep Sean a secret.
In addition, Panasonic is in contact with MCA...
Of course, these companies have their own problems, and they don't mind selling the company at a good price within the company, but it is impossible to say that they don't mind selling the company to Ben.
Anti-Japanese is life, trading is work.
After all, the American father was in turn acquired by his son. This was a mental insult to everyone, like a starving man having his mouth opened and fed a mouthful of shit.
Although it did relieve his hunger, he was disgusting!
In addition, in recent years, the entire home appliance market and the automobile market have been completely destroyed by laptops. The streets are full of laptop cars, which also makes the white people at the center of the world and the self-proclaimed masters of the world very unhappy.
Of course, despite the criticism, the body is still very honest, and the notebook car is cheap.
Therefore, Sean was confident that as long as he stood up and took the lead and charged into the battle, those interest groups who had suffered losses and those who were dissatisfied with the book would definitely jump out and wave the flag and shout.
Sean's efficiency has always been the fastest. He had already arranged for people to form a legal team and a technical team when the Chinese side was negotiating. In addition, the public relations team did not need a public relations person as he said. All he needed was a group of people. For propaganda and smear campaigns, just get it from the TV station.
So professional!
He is not afraid that if the agreement is not reached, he will have to pay some liquidated damages and hard work. This is the benefit of the boss's dictatorship. If he is a manager, he must be responsible to the board of directors and demonstrate his abilities at the same time.
Do you really think that in business negotiations, every penny has to be compared, and it is of such great significance to pick out a few tenths of a percentage point?
It's like a negotiation team of hundreds of people doesn't want wages...
It’s like one or two years is not a cost...
It's just to show the meaning of one's existence, otherwise why would professional managers get such high salaries?
Closer to home, the contract was signed here. Two days later, the technical team arrived in the east. Sean arranged for the Sky Palace to pick it up in person, which was a great honor.
Once the face is given, things must be done efficiently and quickly enough.
It was still a palace in the sky. It flew around the east and personally divided the technical personnel into six batches and sent them to each province.
Before leaving, Sean went to the countryside and held a morale-boosting meeting. Naturally, the three Chinese departments also sent people to attend as a gesture of hospitality.
With his identity as Sean, he must have arrived last. Lorraine followed him, holding a tray in his hand, and attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the banquet hall.
Smiling and waving to greet everyone, Sean walked straight towards an old man with white hair and said, "Mr. Delord, nice to see you."
After shaking hands and greetings, the two met for the first time. After completing the procedures, Sean took out an envelope from the tray held by Lorraine and handed it over.
Derode took it with a smile, tore it open, took it out, looked at it, and immediately stuffed the thing back with a smile on his face.
After a hug with Sean, Drode promised that he would do his best to find enough evidence!
At the banquet, everyone was quietly paying attention to this scene and guessing what was in the envelope. Most people thought it was a huge check, as you could tell by looking at the smile on Drood's face.
Actually it's not.
It's not that they can't be bribed with money, but Sean has a better way than paying money. No one is alone, and these people also want something.
Maybe it's fame, maybe it's PR or some award, maybe it's family and children, maybe it's some wish, these things that are difficult for them are not difficult for Sean.
Especially after he formed the 'Golden Alliance', some personal needs were not worth mentioning to this huge interest group.
The leading leaders each sent an envelope. Their needs had been understood before.
For the remaining engineers, Sean would not exert so much effort. He waved his hand and the security team walked in pushing a cart usually used to hold cakes.
Sean clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, then walked to the car, smiled and said to everyone: "At this time, generally speaking, I should give a great speech, expose the ugly face of Ben, despicable and shameless, and give us the next action
Put on a bright coat of justice and use facts to prove that we are on the side of justice."
"But I'm sorry, I don't know much about industrial equipment manufacturing."
"What I understand is simply Benzi's despicable character. I understand capitalists. I interpret the problem from a human perspective, but I will not jump to conclusions before things are confirmed."
"Whether the book is deliberately taking advantage of others and deliberately causing damage requires experts to come up with a definite answer."
"All I can do is..." As he spoke, Sean reached out and grabbed the red cloth covering the car and suddenly lifted it, "These!"
Before he finished speaking, the red cloth was torn off, and a cake made of green dollars appeared in front of everyone.
This was the first time for everyone to see so much cash, and there was a burst of gasps and exclamations.
Everyone's eyes were bright, including the Chinese people. Although they couldn't get a penny, they were also excited.
Damn, this positivity!
"Thank you to everyone here!" Sean said, and the audience burst into thunderous applause that lasted for a long time!
Who dares to say Sean’s speech wasn’t great!?
…
The technical team is very motivated. They are specially selected based on the nature and model of the industrial equipment and start working immediately upon arrival.
The Chinese don't dare to dismantle it casually because they don't have the drawings, but they do. The difference between each company's equipment is nothing more than details.
As soon as the spare parts are taken off, they are immediately put on advanced testing equipment to determine the metal toughness, wear resistance coefficient, corrosion resistance coefficient, yield strength, surface coating, etc. In addition to the material properties themselves, it also includes whether the accuracy of the spare parts meets the standards.
The results were quickly passed back to Sean. In most cases, there was no problem with the accuracy of the parts. There were not many crazy ones. The problem was the material itself.
This is because the Chinese manufacturer does not have advanced testing equipment. Even if it is secretly disassembled, no problem can be found. On the surface, it seems that the parts are worn and deformed due to fatigue, mistakes or overloading.
Even if China wants to make its own replacement parts, it is useless. China is even more backward in materials science and processing technology, and its products are not as good as theirs.
This is determined and there is nothing China can do about it.
More than a hundred pieces of evidence were obtained one after another. Sean only looked at the first ones and handed over the rest to the subsequent legal team.
There are more than 20 people in the legal team, but it is really not a team of lawyers. Sean has never thought of investing too much in legal fees.
After all, the real battle in this lawsuit is underwater.
Collecting evidence, determining losses, checking legal provisions, and deciding on a lawsuit plan were all handled by Sean's team, and he got on the plane and returned directly to China.
While on the plane, Sean began to figure out how to cut the meat!
Although the United States is Benzi's father, and when Sean goes to Benzi, their prime minister will come out to greet him, but that is because Benzi himself is shameless.
Kneel down when you want to, and kowtow when you want to, but that doesn't mean that these weaklings don't have the strength.
History tells us that there is nothing that these lunatics dare not do.
Don’t they know America is the father?
Don’t you know that the Plaza Accord was designed to suppress their exports of industrial products?
Know!
But they still jumped out to the United States to provoke.
This is the book!
The strength is still there and very strong.
Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic, Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Hitachi... It is impossible for Sean to fight alone.
So... looking through a bunch of information at hand, Sean needs to comprehensively compare and select a few as targets for this attack.
"Lorraine, ask the intelligence department to make a relationship diagram for me to clarify the relationship between these companies."
As soon as Sean gave the order, a piece of paper was handed over. Lorraine smiled and said, "You don't need to tell me, it's already been done!"
"Awesome!" Sean kissed Lorraine's hand, and then he looked at the relationship diagram.
Toshiba has a conflict with Sony, Sony has a conflict with Panasonic, Toshiba has a conflict with Hitachi, Mitsubishi has a conflict with Hitachi...
These are among the top equipment manufacturing companies in the world. They have many overlapping products and the market competition is not small.
On the way back to the United States, Sean lay in bed and kept analyzing the data and selecting opponents.
Until the plane was about to land, more than ten hours had passed, and when I stretched, my bones all over my body were cracking.
"Damn, it's not that easy to be a boss. It's so hard to work so hard for hundreds of millions of dollars!"
Lorraine rolled her eyes, "No need for one billion, one hundred million, I think 100% of the people in the world are willing to bear this kind of fatigue on your behalf."
"Vulgar, vulgar!" Sean said seriously.
To be continued...
