Chapter 812: Other Motives

Li Ye got up very early the next morning because he had to meet up with Lu Lu Zhizhang and the others, but after he came out of the room, he found that breakfast was already set on the dining table.

This is the benefit of having a mother.

Mothers in the Chinese family, regardless of whether their children are three months or thirty years old, will miss whether they have eaten at mealtime. If the child doesn't eat, they will nag and ask endlessly.

"Why don't you eat? Is there anything you can't think through? The girl next door doesn't pay attention to you, so just don't pay attention to her! What a big deal! Eat immediately, Mom!"

Especially when the children are older and haven't eaten together for a long time, Chinese mothers treat eating together as a kind of enjoyment, an enjoyment that no amount of money can buy.

Just like now, Fu Gui-ru had already made the meal, but she didn't eat it herself, but quietly read the newspaper on the side.

Li Ye looked twice and found that Fu Gui-ru was actually reading a Japanese newspaper.

So he asked, "Mom, can you still understand Japanese?"

Fu Gui-ru said indifferently, "Learn it now! If you don't understand, look it up in the dictionary. It's not difficult."

"."

Li Ye couldn't help but twist his mouth.

To say that in terms of business talent, Fu Gui-ru may not be top-notch, but her perseverance and resilience made Li Ye have to admire her.

At least Li Ye knew that Fu Gui-ru could speak English, and she spoke it very well. For a female militia member who hadn't been in contact with English before she was thirty, the difficulty can be imagined.

And it was this perseverance and resilience that made Fu Gui-ru have the ability to control a large enterprise.

Think about those entrepreneurs who came from rough backgrounds in later generations, which one is not a person with a tough mind?

Fu Gui-ru pointed to an article in the newspaper and said, "The Japanese are very arrogant now. They don't believe the conclusions of the authoritative economists in the lighthouse, and they don't admit that the Japanese economy will collapse before the lighthouse. How does this tone coincide with your prediction?"

In the first half of 1987, in fact, many economists in the lighthouse noticed the crisis in finance, but they believed that the collapse must start from Japan first. Dead friends don't die, and the lighthouse side might even be able to get a share of the pie.

But when Black Monday really arrived, the lighthouse plummeted by more than 20% in one day, and then brought down other financial centers in the world, including Tokyo.

Li Ye glanced at the newspaper and could only explain to Fu Gui-ru, "That might be a coincidence!"

Fu Gui-ru pondered for a moment and then asked, "If, as you said, the lighthouse stock market collapse will affect other financial centers, then Hong Kong..."

Li Ye shook his head and said, "Forget about Hong Kong. If we short it, we will definitely be scolded, and if we go long, no one will remember our favor!"

Fu Gui-ru nodded slowly, agreeing with Li Ye's suggestion. After all, it is 1987 now, not 1997.

But what she didn't know was that Hong Kong played a showy operation of pulling the network cable during the 1987 financial turmoil, which greatly damaged its reputation internationally.

So Li Ye wouldn't go to Hong Kong to wade through muddy water!

"Eat, eat, eat, go busy with your business after eating."

Fu Gui-ru threw down the newspaper and greeted Li Ye to eat at the dining table. The mother and son didn't say a few words during the whole meal, but they ate the amount of four or five people, obviously with a good appetite.

After eating, Fu Gui-ru sent Li Ye to meet up with Lu Lu Zhizhang and the others. Although the Mitsubishi headquarters is also in Minato, the project that Li Ye and the others are inspecting this time is not here, and the distance is quite far.

When Fu Gui-ru found the place according to the address, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure this is this hotel?"

Li Ye said, "Looking at the address and name, it should be correct."

Fu Gui-ru couldn't help but sneer, "The Japanese are really stingy. This kind of hotel is embarrassed to entertain guests."

Li Ye glanced at the old hotel in front of him and agreed, nodding and saying, "It is indeed quite stingy, but people have the confidence to be stingy."

"."

If it were forty years later, Mitsubishi Motors would have been seriously disenchanted in the eyes of the Chinese, and almost kicked out of the mainland market.

But in the eighties, more than 90% of the automotive people in the mainland couldn't produce the idea of "catching up and surpassing."

Too advanced, can't catch up.

People give you some backward technology, and it's like picking up a treasure.

Li Ye got out of the car, walked over, pushed the door and entered the front hall of the hotel, and found that the people in the inspection delegation had basically come down.

Li Ye checked his watch and found that there was at least twenty minutes left before the agreed time!

However, before Li Ye spoke, someone asked Li Ye first. That Secretary Zhong asked, "Deputy Factory Director Li, how many friends did you visit last night? Why did you change a car again?"

Li Ye was quite surprised, because Old Song and Fu Gui-ru were both sitting in the latest S-class Mercedes-Benz. How did this Secretary Zhong distinguish that it was not the same car?

Li Ye asked in surprise, "You can even tell this?"

Secretary Zhong said disdainfully, "The license plate is different, okay? Can't we even tell this?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Oh, oh, I really didn't pay attention to the license plate."

Secretary Zhong also smiled and then said in a low voice, "That Deputy Factory Director Li, several of our leaders studied it last night, thinking that if we always follow Mitsubishi's arrangements for inspection, we will be too restricted."

"So we can't always wait for others to pick us up. We have to walk more and see more. You discuss with your friends and borrow a few cars for temporary use. At worst, we will bear the fuel costs!"

Your face is so big. You open your mouth and borrow a few cars. We are not from the same mountain, okay?

Li Ye met this kind of person in his previous life. Obviously, they are two factions that dismantle each other, but he just feels very naturally that they are very familiar, and puts forward some requirements without boundaries.

If you refuse, he will satirize you for being stingy and having no pattern.

I can go to your pattern.

Li Ye perfunctorily said, "Okay, I'll ask my friends later to see if they have any free cars."

But Secretary Zhong said, "Ask now! While Mitsubishi's car hasn't arrived yet, don't you have a mobile phone? Your friends should also have mobile phones, right?"

【You are really a big smart.】

Li Ye smiled lightly and said, "Better not ask! There is no such deep friendship, it will only make people feel annoying."

"."

Secretary Zhong's smile stiffened on his face, and there was obvious anger in his eyes.

In his view, Li Ye is a section-level cadre in a subordinate unit, actually satirizing that he has "no deep friendship" with himself. Doesn't he know that offending people is a taboo in this circle?

At this time, Elder Gu said coldly, "Okay, Little Zhong, it's better to rely on yourself than others. If it's not convenient for others, forget it."

Li Ye looked up at the other party, didn't pay attention to the other party's cold eyes, and found a place to sit and wait.

A few minutes later, Liu Watching Liu Muhan walked over and said to Li Ye in a low voice, "Last night, he asked us to arrange a car for him alone, saying he wanted to visit friends and explore news for us..."

"Oh~"

Li Ye immediately understood that the other party asked him to borrow a few cars, including his own one. He thought quite beautifully.

Twenty minutes later, Mitsubishi came to pick up Li Ye and the others, still the two vans from yesterday.

Coincidentally, Gu Gu Jianqi, Secretary Zhong, and Li Ye were assigned to the same car.

After getting on the car, Li Ye was assigned to the last row of seats, and the front seats that were more comfortable were given to Elder Gu and the others.

Then Li Ye saw Gu Gu Jianqi and Secretary Zhong take out two newspapers that looked familiar.

Li Ye was a little surprised.

【What are they doing reading financial newspapers?】

And when Secretary Zhong held a dictionary, frowning and checking, Li Ye was even more surprised.

He had a flash of inspiration and said to Liu Watching Liu Muhan, "Section Chief Liu, help Secretary Zhong translate the newspaper! It's boring on the road anyway. Let's listen to what's in the Japanese newspaper and broaden our horizons."

But as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, Secretary Zhong hurriedly refused, "No need, no need, we are just looking at it casually."

But what kind of relationship does Liu Watching Liu Muhan have with Li Ye? She immediately leaned over, took a few glances, and translated, "This is a newspaper introducing the Japanese stock market. It says that the prospects of the Japanese stock market are very good, and it is impossible for it to fall before the lighthouse stock market."

Li Ye carefully observed Secretary Zhong and Elder Gu and found that their ears had signs of standing up.

【Even Liu Watching Liu Muhan knows it's a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Would you not know? Could it be that you came to Japan... with other motives?】
