Chapter 1921: Automobile Manufacturing Field

At the same time, Liu Wei was sitting on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth and his legs crossed.

"Mr. Ichiro Kojiki, I am truly sorry. I cannot agree to your request for us to split the activity expenses fifty-fifty."

Ichiro Kojiki smiled slightly. "This is already Sony's greatest concession. If Mr. Liu is still not satisfied, I can only express my regret."

"There's no way." Liu Wei also expressed his regret. "We need the military's help, and that also requires paying a not-insignificant price.

Therefore, you are responsible for the UK side, and we are responsible for the domestic side. If you at Sony don't agree, we have no choice but to give up and withdraw from Zhongbao. Although the loss is not small, it is not something we cannot bear."

Ichiro Kojiki hadn't expected Liu Wei's words to be so decisive, which put him in a dilemma.

"Mr. Liu, I cannot make the final decision on the outcome. How about I go back and report to President Yoshioka, and give you an answer tonight?"

Liu Wei was just testing him. If Ichiro Kojiki had gotten up and left, he would definitely have contacted him again tonight and agreed to his request.

But looking at it now, he really had tested something out. The arrogant little devil hadn't left in a fit of anger, which meant that their acquisition of Yuzhou Technology had really run into problems and was no longer something that could be solved with money.

Therefore, the current situation was not that he, Liu Wei, was begging the little devil, but that the little devil needed to cooperate with him, Liu Wei, otherwise they would likely end up with nothing.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei's confidence was fuller than ever. "I don't hold much hope for today's negotiations, so I plan to leave Jiangzhou this afternoon.

Since Mr. Ichiro Kojiki still has the intention to cooperate, I will wait until five o'clock. If I don't receive your feedback before five o'clock tonight, I will return to the capital."

"I've troubled you, Mr. Liu."

Ichiro Kojiki stood up and bowed to Liu Wei.

"Assistant Huang, see the guests out." This time, Liu Wei was too lazy to even get up to see Ichiro Kojiki off.

After Huang Mei saw Ichiro Kojiki off, she couldn't help but laugh when she returned.

"Sure enough, we didn't guess wrong. The little devils must have run into big trouble and can't acquire Yuzhou Technology normally; even if they really took out two billion US dollars, it would be impossible."

Liu Wei's mood was indescribably good. He grabbed Huang Mei, pulled her into his arms, sat her on his lap, and then his hand began to explore everywhere.

Huang Mei's eyes were like silk, and she said breathlessly, "Before, Sony was holding us over a barrel; now we can completely reverse it and hold Sony over a barrel."

Liu Wei's exploring hand stopped, which made Huang Mei let out a long sigh of relief.

"Forget it!" Liu Wei shook his head. "Our time is very tight; there's no need to create extra complications. We must reach a cooperation as soon as possible. Let's take action."

After saying this, this guy very skillfully unbuttoned Huang Mei's clothes one by one.

Immediately after, heaven's thunder ignited the earth's fire. After a storm, the two of them went to the bathroom, drenched in sweat.

After coming out, Liu Wei lit a cigarette, wrapped himself in a bath towel just like that, came to the window, looked at the people coming and going on the road outside, and said very domineeringly.

"In this game of Zhongbao, only when I, Liu Wei, sit down do they have the qualifications to place pieces on the board. As for flipping the table, that is a qualification only my Liu family has.

Everyone else has to stand aside, let alone that mud-legged Zhou Andong; he doesn't even have the qualifications to stand aside. This time, I'm going to beat him until he hurts, to let him understand that Zhongbao is not something he can touch."

…………………………

At noon, Zhou Andong and the others had another seafood feast. Because he only had a dozen or so yuan in change in his pocket, he could only write an IOU to the "Landlord Gu," and only then did the Landlord Gu reluctantly settle the bill.

Because they had completely torn their faces with the little devils, from now on, whether the little devils lived or died, whether they continued to stay in Jiangzhou or returned to the capital, the city would arrange it, and it had nothing to do with them.

Zhou Andong returned directly to the old winery because he still had to meet with Shen Mingsheng in the afternoon.

When he returned to the old winery, Shen Mingsheng had already been waiting for a while.

"President Shen, how long have you been here? Why didn't you have them page me?"

Shen Mingsheng said with a smile, "I know you are a very busy person, and I'm not in a hurry here, so waiting a while is nothing."

It had to be said that Shen Mingsheng's words really made one feel comfortable.

"Let's go to my office."

Zhou Andong very politely led Shen Mingsheng to his office. Because Huang Yali was not there, a young girl from the board office temporarily served as Zhou Andong's secretary, serving tea and water for the two of them.

Shen Mingsheng had already been staying in Jiangzhou for three days, and there were a mountain of things to do at the company, so he had to go back tomorrow. Therefore, he didn't stand on ceremony anymore and asked straight to the point.

"Chairman Zhou, have you considered it?"

Zhou Andong didn't give an answer immediately but asked, "Tell me your thoughts."

Shen Mingsheng asked in surprise, "Chairman Zhou, how did you know I had other thoughts?"

Zhou Andong smiled. "You want the whole family to retain their board seats in Zhongbao; you definitely don't just have the import car trading company as a card in your hand.

But in the end, you still brought out this card with the most potential and the most profit. It definitely wasn't just to exchange with me; you also need money, and it's not a small amount—it's an amount others can't give you."

Shen Mingsheng stared blankly at Zhou Andong, finally gave a thumbs up, and said with great emotion.

"Now I am truly convinced. The Yugong Group being able to have its current scale is definitely not luck."

Zhou Andong smiled slightly and didn't speak, instead picking up his teacup to take a sip, waiting for Shen Mingsheng to continue.

Organizing his language, Shen Mingsheng asked, "Chairman Zhou, what is your view on automobile R&D and manufacturing?"

Zhou Andong raised an eyebrow. "You want to enter the automobile manufacturing field?"

"Yes!" Shen Mingsheng nodded. "As a populous country, with reform and opening up and economic development, the future of small cars entering ordinary households is not a fantasy."

Zhou Andong asked, "So certain?"

"In 1990, the domestic sales volume of small cars was 500,000. But by last year, 1993, the sales volume had already reached 1.28 million."

Shen Mingsheng looked at Zhou Andong. "Three years, and the sales volume of small cars has more than doubled. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

Zhou Andong pondered. BYD definitely had to enter the automobile R&D and manufacturing field, but investing in another one wasn't impossible.

Others didn't know what was going on, but as someone who had lived two lives, how could he not know how big the future Chinese automobile market would be?

"The automobile field definitely has development, but if it's starting from zero, the difficulties are not just a little bit."

Shen Mingsheng smiled slightly. "We can acquire existing automobile manufacturing enterprises and then form joint ventures with well-known foreign car companies. On this basis, we can then conduct our own R&D."

Zhou Andong looked at Shen Mingsheng and suddenly began to sing.

"Love you walking alone in the dark alley, love your unyielding appearance, love you confronting despair, refusing to cry once!"

Shen Mingsheng was completely confused. Why was he singing while talking? What kind of problem was this?

"Chairman Zhou, you this—"

Zhou Andong gave a dry laugh. "I just lost focus for a moment; I suddenly thought of a song and couldn't help but sing it." ===== CHAPTER 1922 =====
