Chapter 1572: Different Heights

Liu Qingjun said hesitantly: "With the reform and opening up, the whole country is attracting investment; isn't it normal for Sony to come and invest?"

It wasn't just him; anyone else wouldn't have thought there would be any conspiracy in this.

Zhou Andong sighed; this is what happens when you stand at different heights—you see different scenery.

Whether it was Old Master Jian or Jian Zhengguo, including Chen Quan, they all saw at a glance that Sony had come with a purpose.

Zhou Andong put down the teacup in his hand: "Indeed, the whole country is attracting investment now, but it's not that easy to attract. You are all senior executives of enterprises; can't you see the problems here?

Those foreign capitals covet the Chinese market but are skeptical about our government's policies, and most are just watching. Especially international giants like Sony; if you want to pull them to invest domestically, if you send a bureau-level official, they won't even bother with you.

Let alone bringing tens of billions of yen and rushing to China to invest; how you look at it, it's a bit abnormal. It's not to say that such things won't happen, but they absolutely wouldn't happen in China at this time."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong looked at them: "Maybe in five or six years, or even just two or three years, seeing that the domestic policy is stable and the economy is steadily rising, those foreign capitals will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of China's huge market and will swarm in."

It wasn't just Liu Qingjun; even Qian Zhen, Du Chunlai, and Man Hongshan frowned. After Zhou Andong said this, they also felt there was a problem here.

"Damn little Japanese!" Liu Qingjun cursed: "If you ask me, we should be like the Americans back then, dropping a dozen or twenty atomic bombs on their heads and carrying out humanitarian extermination on them."

Except for those traitors and Japan-worshipping dogs, for most Chinese people, the hatred for the little Japanese is already deep in their marrow.

Especially since Liu Qingjun is the factory manager of an electronics factory and used to deal with the military all day, he naturally had no good words for the little Japanese.

"Especially giants like Sony; if they are really targeting us, we won't be able to defend against them even if we try."

Qian Zhen nodded: "Especially some people above, they will definitely lean their butts to the wrong side; for the sake of so-called friendliness, for the sake of the overall situation of reform, they will sell out our interests."

Du Chunlai and Man Hongshan have abilities, but if it weren't for Zhou Andong, they would definitely have been lost in the crowd.

But Qian Zhen and Liu Qingjun are different; although their positions are not high and they don't see far enough,

the former has been a deputy factory manager at the winery, and the latter has been the factory manager of the electronics factory, which proves that the two are not easy to deal with.

Don't underestimate grassroots struggles; sometimes they are even bloodier than those at the top.

The various events that have occurred since Zhou Andong became factory manager prove this point.

So, their positions are not high, and they don't see far enough.

But when Zhou Andong peeled back the problem and pulled it in front of them,

they immediately saw the crisis hidden behind this matter.

All four looked at Zhou Andong; in their hearts, the Chairman is omnipotent.

Since he has already anticipated the crisis, he must have a solution.

"The best defense is offense."

Zhou Andong leaned against the sofa, crossed his legs, and placed his hands on his knees, his fingers tapping rhythmically.

The best defense is offense? Hearing this, the four, who originally had blind trust in Zhou Andong, suddenly felt a sense of insecurity.

That is Sony; placed in the world, it is also a behemoth.

Our Yugong Group's volume in the country is indeed not small.

But compared to Sony, it is a dirt mound and Mount Everest.

If they have any intentions toward you, just one word is enough.

Those guys above whose butts are sitting crookedly will definitely charge to the front and raise their knives against their Yugong Group.

It would be good enough if we could defend ourselves; you still want to attack?

The four looked at Zhou Andong, thinking that at noon, the Chairman didn't drink much alcohol.

Besides, with the Chairman's drinking capacity, he wouldn't get drunk easily; why is he talking nonsense?

Looking at the four people's dazed expressions, Zhou Andong laughed.

"I'm telling you this so you can be mentally prepared. After all, whether Sony came with a purpose is also my guess.

However, once Sony makes a move, it will definitely be you who come forward to deal with it; as for how to attack, that's my business."

Li Qingjun asked curiously: "How to attack?"

"It's too early to say this now." Zhou Andong picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to help."

Since he said so, they didn't ask anymore, and their confidence in Zhou Andong rose again.

Over the past two years, have they encountered few obstacles?

There were even mountains that looked impassable blocking their path forward.

What happened in the end? Wasn't it still stepped under the Chairman's feet and crossed over?

Thinking about it this way, Sony, this mountain, is indeed a bit high, but with the Chairman here, it is not insurmountable.

Several people chatted for a while, and Zhou Andong looked at the time, stood up, and said.

"You guys rest early; I'm going back."

Du Chunlai asked: "What time are we leaving tomorrow? Should we go to your house to meet up, or will you come to the hotel?"

Zhou Andong walked out without stopping: "If you go to my house to meet up, you'll have to take a detour; I'll come to the hotel."

The four sent Zhou Andong out the door and happened to run into Gu Qing coming out of the room next door.

"Director Gu!" Zhou Andong asked: "Where are you going so late?"

"Chairman, when did you come over?" Gu Qing was very surprised, then said: "When I arrived, I saw a coffee shop on the right side of the lobby lounge. I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd go down and have a cup of coffee."

Zhou Andong said: "Won't you be even less able to sleep after drinking coffee?"

"It's fine!" Gu Qing said with a smile: "If I can't sleep at night, I'll sleep in the car tomorrow; I guess I'll be home when I wake up."

"If you don't mind being uncomfortable, you can sleep in the car." Zhou Andong also laughed: "I was just about to go home; let's go down together."

Du Chunlai looked at Qian Zhen and the other two: "We can't sleep either; shall we go down with Director Gu and have a cup of coffee?"

Man Hongshan waved his hand: "You guys go; I'm not used to drinking that foreign stuff. Besides, I'm so old, and I have to sit in the car for a whole day tomorrow; if I can't sleep after drinking it, that would be suffering."

Du Chunlai pulled Man Hongshan: "You don't have to drink it, or you can drink tea and go down to chat."

There was no other way; Man Hongshan was pulled by Du Chunlai, along with Qian Zhen and Liu Qingjun, following Zhou Andong and Gu Qing to the elevator.

Getting into the elevator, Zhou Andong asked: "Director Gu, have you sent anyone to Beijing to handle the development qualifications?"

"Yes!" Gu Qing nodded: "On the third day of the New Year, after receiving your call, I arranged for someone to take the night train here. Yesterday afternoon, before I came out, I received a call from the person in charge.

They have already gone to the relevant departments to handle it; the other party is very polite, and it will probably take three or four days." ===== CHAPTER 1573 =====
