After riding back to the office, Sattler fell into deep thought.
At present, the overall situation of Saudi Arabia is in an unfavorable state. According to Wang Ye's previous plan, he really hopes that the Soviet Union can support those armed forces to attack Saudi oil wells, and then Saudi Arabia can justifiably refuse the United States' request to increase oil production and lower prices. Require.
You can even openly make requests to the United States, asking them to sell advanced weapons and equipment, or even provide direct air support, or send Marine Corps reinforcements.
But the problem is that Saudi Arabia does want armed men to attack oil wells, but it does not want these armed men's attacks to cause fatal damage to the oil wells, which will then lead to a large-scale reduction in domestic oil production, and finally affect Saudi Arabia's overall economic problems!
"Sure enough, you can't want both at the same time! You want everything, but in the end you get nothing."
"And it is obvious that the Soviet Union's purpose has advanced. They not only want to prevent us from increasing oil production and counter the United States' purpose of lowering oil prices, but they even want to take this opportunity to severely damage our economy. Perhaps through this step, they hope to achieve influence What is the purpose of the war between Iraq and Iran?”
Sattler was sitting there with thoughts swirling in his mind. After a moment, he couldn't help but sigh. If the problem of anti-aircraft weapons can still be solved by spending money, then in terms of manpower, it is actually more difficult. Now Nowadays, there are only so many people in the Saudi Royal Forces, not to mention the air defense forces. If the troops are temporarily increased, I am afraid the effect will not be very good, and it will cause widespread panic.
"Perhaps we can borrow some manpower from our allies?"
"And then supplement it with appropriate equipment to fight against the invasion of armed organizations?"
"But before that, we still need to contact the United States. It is best to ask them to send a certain amount of troops for reinforcements. We also need to coordinate with them regarding air defense weapons."
"In addition, we can also convene an OPEC meeting and unite with other member states to start to increase oil prices slightly. On the one hand, we can maintain the balance of economic balance and on the other hand, we can also put pressure on the United States."
Sattler thought for a long time and finally wrote a report himself and ordered the staff to send it to the palace and deliver it to his father. Then he thought for a moment and decided to send a telegram to his good friend to ask. About how to effectively restrain these rotorcraft.
After all, he was the one who created the rotorcraft, so it stands to reason that he should have relevant countermeasures. At least in Sattler's opinion, based on his understanding of Wang Ye, he would definitely be like this.
"Come in!"
Following Sattler's voice, the staff member walked in, and then Sattler pushed a document over and ordered:
"Send it to my friend Wang Ye immediately."
"Also, have the weapons we ordered shipped? How long will it take to arrive?"
Hearing what Sattler said, the staff member quickly said:
"Your Highness, we are already at sea and it is expected to arrive in three or four days."
"There will be news as soon as the goods arrive."
Sattler nodded, and then the staff member left the office, leaving Sattler alone and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
At the same time, Wang Ye arrived in Yanjing.
After getting off the train, Wang Ye went straight to Toshiba's office in Yanjing. In fact, this is also a normal business transaction process. If Wang Ye was the director of a normal state-owned factory, if he wanted to do business with Toshiba , then of course the first step is to report to the superior department and state the reasons and purposes of the cooperation. The key is to apply for foreign exchange. If the superior department feels that this cooperation is necessary, then it can contact the Toshiba office.
However, Wang Ye is not normal, and neither is the Red Star Consortium. After all, the Red Star Consortium now controls US$300 million in foreign exchange and has discretionary power, so the reporting process can be omitted. Then come and visit Toshiba directly. Office, just submit a cooperation plan.
However, coming to visit and submitting cooperation documents is also a normal process, but Wang Ye is not prepared to come normally.
"Hello sir!"
"This is the Yanjing office of Toshiba Corporation of Japan. What do you do for a living?"
As soon as Wang Ye walked into the center of the office, a staff member came over to say hello. Then, before Wang Ye could speak, he pointed to the seat next to him and said to Wang Ye in a very "local" manner:
"Have you made an appointment? And the purpose of your visit, please register here."
"Also, please show me your letter of introduction."
Nowadays, Toshiba has just entered the domestic market. It is not large in scale and has not many employees. In addition, this is their headquarters. Naturally, few people come to visit directly, let alone young people like Wang Ye, so this The staff asked a series of questions, and it was obvious that Wang Ye might be causing trouble.
Wang Ye smiled, seemingly unaware of his suspicion and attitude. He took out a document from his pocket and handed it over and said:
"This is my letter of introduction, and this is my business card."
"I don't have an appointment, and I don't know what leaders you have here, but that's not important. I want to see the highest-ranking person in charge here."
Wang Ye's voice sounded, and the expression on the staff member's face changed, and it was obvious that there was a hint of displeasure.
After all, Wang Ye spoke too loudly, but he still dutifully accepted Wang Ye's letter of introduction and even the business card. At the same time, a look of surprise flashed across his face. Business card culture is very popular in Japan. But there are very few people in China who have business cards. There are only a few open cities in the south. The bosses of those leather bag companies like to do this kind of thing.
However, a letter of introduction is, to a certain extent, a business card here, and it is more rigorous and reliable.
"Laiyang Hongxing Mechanical and Steel Complex, Yuntai City, Luqi Province"
"Want to have business negotiations with Toshiba?"
"Red Star Federation, factory director Wang Ye?"
As the staff member muttered, the expression on his face gradually changed. If he was a little unhappy and contemptuous just now, he became serious now!
After all, many ordinary people may not be very clear about the Red Star Alliance. They only know about their Red Star motorcycles. But for Toshiba, a Japanese company that is about to enter China on a large scale, they cannot be unclear because they have no understanding of the market. Conducting investigations is one of the most important tasks of their office.
And as long as you investigate, it is not difficult to find out about the Red Star Consortium's large-scale foreign exchange creation!
Of course, for this staff member, the news he knew was still delayed, because the foreign exchange creation he learned about was only during the Canton Fair, and even the specific transaction content was not clear. He only knew that this factory created a large amount of foreign exchange dollars, and more advanced news, even international market news, he was too low-level to know, but this did not affect his immediate attention to the young man in front of him!
"Mr. Wang! Sorry, please come here to rest. What would you like to drink? There is tea, coffee and juice."
"I will report your request to the person in charge of our office. However, since you do not have an appointment, the process may take a little longer, about ten minutes."
He was the one who was said to be arrogant and respectful, but Wang Ye didn't care about this. He nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, I won't drink anything, just sit and wait for a while."
"Go and report it!"
Then Wang Ye and four short-headed young men with big shoulders and round waists sat on the sofa next to them and began to wait.
After a while, the staff came upstairs and knocked on the door of an office.
"What? Red Star Consortium? Factory Director Wang Ye? Just downstairs?"
"Hiss? What does he want to do? Does he want to cooperate with us? Introduce our technology and obtain our product authorization? Or even a production line?"
The bald middle-aged man sitting behind the desk couldn't help but smacked his lips and said this after listening to the staff's report. In a sense, it was completely reasonable for him to think so.
Nowadays, many Japanese companies have begun to enter China. The most direct way to enter is to introduce products through import and then sell them. The advantage is that it is direct and fast. For example, Honda's "Honda King" motorcycle came in this way. , and the indirect method is to cooperate with local factories in China, through technology licensing, production line introduction, etc., to produce relevant products in China and then sell them.
The disadvantage is that it is slow, but the advantages are also obvious, that is, after localization, the cost is low, the output is large, and the total profit is high, and it can occupy the huge market in China.
Nowadays, when Toshiba has just entered the country, its most critical business is home appliances, and this man is in the home appliance project department, so his confidentiality level is very low and he doesn't know many things. Naturally, he relies on the existing clues to make a decision. Based on this inference, Wang Ye wanted to cooperate with Toshiba and introduce Toshiba's products, technology and production lines!
"Ask him to come up and go to the reception room. I want to see him!"
Finally, the bald middle-aged man said without hesitation. In his opinion, there is no doubt about this choice. After all, the Red Star Alliance is a major foreign exchange earner, and the U.S. dollar is an important currency in both China and Japan. After all, it is green. U.S. dollars, who would be too little?
Furthermore, since the Red Star Consortium can generate foreign exchange, it means that they are ambitious and worthy of Toshiba's cooperation. Moreover, as a foreign exchange earning unit, it will be much easier to pay for cooperation, unlike some factories that actually hope to Toshiba first gave them a loan, and then they used the loan to purchase a production line to cooperate with them. Although they didn't lose money, they still didn't make as much in the short term as they would have paid so happily.
"Hi!"
Then the staff member responded and left the office.
After a while, Wang Ye, who was sitting below, got the invitation. He was not surprised that the meeting went smoothly. After all, if a big company like Toshiba did something contemptuous when they first entered China, they would not be able to do it in August. In the 1990s, it occupied a large share of the Chinese electrical appliance market.
After signaling the four short-haired young men to wait, Wang Ye, led by the staff, arrived at a small reception room.
"Mr. Wang Ye, hello, hello! I have long admired your name!"
As soon as Wang Ye entered the reception room, the bald middle-aged man stood up and greeted Wang Ye with a smile, looking very enthusiastic. Then the two parties shook hands and sat down.
"I wonder what you call me?"
After sitting down, Wang Ye looked at the middle-aged man not far away and asked. The middle-aged man said with a smile:
"Yoshio Tanaka is currently the general manager of this office."
"Mr. Wang Ye, you can just call me Tanaka."
Wang Ye smiled when he heard this, then nodded and said:
"Mr. Tanaka has actually heard of me?"
"I'm so flattered!"
Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Tanaka Yoshio was very cordial and friendly and said with a smile:
"Of course, your performance at the Canton Fair has been widely circulated."
"I am deeply impressed by the ability to create huge amounts of foreign exchange with simple conditions! No wonder Mr. Wang Ye can take charge of such a factory at such a young age!"
When saying these words, Tanaka Yoshio even had a hint of natural envy in his tone, and the reason is very simple. Japan is a country where seniority discrimination is very serious. As for Tanaka, he is also confused. It took many years to reach this position, but he thought he was very capable, but when he was young, he could not be reused. This was completely different from Wang Ye.
"You are ridiculous."
Wang Ye said this with a smile, and then suddenly changed the subject and said:
"Mr. Tanaka, you are in charge of the electrical appliances division, right?"
Yoshio Tanaka was not surprised when he heard what Wang Ye said. After all, with the foreign exchange earning ability of Wang Ye and the Red Star Alliance, this kind of information could be known by just asking around, and it was not considered a secret.
"Yes, I am in charge of the field of household appliances. Mr. Wang Ye, I don't know if you are looking for me. Do you want to communicate with me about something? The staff said, do you want to cooperate with us?"
“What areas, aspects, and scale of cooperation does it refer to?”
Faced with a series of questions from Tanaka, Wang Ye shook his head slightly and said with a smile:
"Yes, I hope to cooperate with your company."
"But I estimate that you won't be able to participate or make a choice in this cooperation."
"Because the field I hope to cooperate with your company is not in household appliances, but in machine tools!"
As soon as these words came out, Tanaka Yoshio's expression changed slightly. He hesitated and said:
"Machine tool? It's really useless for you to communicate with me, but I can still convey it on your behalf. What kind of machine tool do you want to buy?"
Under the gaze of Yoshio Tanaka, Wang Ye shook his head and said with a smile:
"Mr. Tanaka, I am very satisfied with the reception you have given me, so I kindly remind you that the less you know about some things, the better. This is a responsible behavior for your own life."
"I'm sorry I can't tell you about the machine tool I want to buy."
"I need you, Toshiba, to send over a senior leader who can really communicate with me."
"Of course, I know that if I say this, you may be angry and ask me to leave, or even kick me out, but it doesn't matter, because I will leave on my own initiative soon."
"However, please be sure to hand this thing over to the most senior person in charge you can contact, and it must be kept confidential. Trust me, otherwise you will regret it!"
"Here!"
As Yoshio Tanaka's expression changed many times, Wang Ye took out a piece of paper and handed it over without closing it. Yoshio Tanaka glanced at it and saw that it seemed to be the code name of a machine tool:
"mbp-110s."
