The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games Chapter 497

Chapter 497 495. Mr. Cao is still very easy to communicate with.

"What, you want to have dinner with Yanagawa Shih?" A strong but slightly old voice came from the other end of the phone.

Cao Yang laughed and said, "Yes, Mr. Ni, he has invited me several times. We are all entrepreneurs. We meet each other when we raise our heads but not when we look down. We have to meet many entrepreneur meetings. It is unjustifiable to always refuse."

When he heard that Cao Yang was coming to the banquet, Professor Ni Guangnan was actually not very happy, but he just told Cao Yang to be careful on the phone.

Compared with Yanagawa Shi, Ni Guangnan is an honest person. Yanagawa Shi knows how to win people's hearts and knows how to identify the needs of others.

Lenovo was almost on the verge of bankruptcy many times, but Yanagawa slowly revived it through his connections and identifying the needs of others.

You can't say that because he was a Kuomintang-hater in his previous life, that negates his own abilities.

Lao Liu is a very charming person who also understands human nature very well.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to fight his way out of that era, and still be able to bring Lenovo to where it is today, and finally be able to acquire IBM's notebook computer business. Many people think that Lao Liu is really the light of China and the leader of entrepreneurs. Role model.

Especially now that Yanagawa Shimo, who had retired, has returned to the helm of Lenovo, he has successfully turned the tide against the backdrop of the global financial crisis and brought Lenovo back to life, which has become a myth in the Chinese Internet industry.

At least so far, domestic praise for him far outweighs those who question him.

The higher-ups also favored this person.

You have to say that it is impossible for Lao Liu to do this without the ability.

Therefore, Ni Guangnan reminded Cao Yang many times to be careful not to be tricked in, let alone to collude with people like Lao Liu. He should still be a good national entrepreneur and be able to develop China's high-tech industry. This is the biggest contribute.

Ni Guangnan had suffered losses and was cheated. He originally wanted to achieve a good career and develop China's chip industry without being choked by other countries. Unexpectedly, he was kicked out of Lenovo by Yanagawa Shih.

If Cao Yang hadn't found him and asked him to come out again, Ni Guangnan still wouldn't know what the future of chips would be.

He is very optimistic about Cao Yang and likes Cao Yang as a young man, so he does not want Cao Yang to suffer and be deceived by Yanagawa Shi.

"Okay, Mr. Ni, I already know, don't worry, it's just a meal."

Cao Yang made this call to him to inform him in advance and let him understand his position.

Otherwise, with Cao Yang's current status, he does not need the consent of a third party to whom he wants to eat.

Mr. Ni talked to him for a while and then hung up the phone.

Yanagawa Zhi has dinner appointments every day or two. For him, it would be shameless not to have a meal alone with Cao Yang. After all, he is the chairman of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Club, and Cao Yang is also a Chinese entrepreneur. Although he is not Join a club, but a meal is always in order, right?

Without even this bit of face, where would Yanagawa Shi's face be?

What's more, Yanagawa Zhi is not just looking for Cao Yang to have a meal, he really wants to get Cao Yang to join his gang.

Three purposes:

First, let Cao Yang join the Taishan Society.

Now Taishan will have many members, and it can be regarded as the largest businessman organization in China and even the world.

But Cao Yang is the richest man in the world. It always feels a bit awkward that there is no richest man in the world in your Taishan Club.

Even though Lao Liu himself didn't think that Cao Yang would start a new business and establish an imperial city or other business organization, his strength was a threat here.

There is a saying that goes very well -

Bigness is original sin.

For countries, if there is a powerful country in your neighboring land, no matter whether it wants to invade you, occupy you, or attack you, as long as it exists and is strong, it will give you a very A terrible sense of oppression, and you will instinctively feel threatened.

This is the case now with Bomi.

What's more, they really stepped on Lao Liu's territory.

It seems that Bomi's new laptops will be released next month. Regardless of whether they really have the R&D capabilities to make laptops, or whether they can really seize Lenovo's market, as long as Bomi's company is big enough , Lenovo employees, including compatriots from other commercial streets, will all think so -

Bomi is obviously declaring war on Lenovo and wants to replace Lenovo.

As for whether Cao Yang really thinks so, it doesn't matter anymore.

Therefore, the top priority is to bring Cao Yang in. We should not fight and consume each other, but cooperate seriously to do business and eat cake. This is the most important thing.

Second, let Cao Yang join CEC, which is the Chinese Entrepreneurs Club, and become a member of it.

Lao Liu is now also the chairman of CEC for the same reason as above.

Why is there both Taishan Society and CEC? In fact, these two things seem to be similar in nature, but they are actually different.

The Taishan Society is equivalent to a small private organization, and the scope of CEC is larger.

The Taishan Society is a small organization that seeks to benefit its own people. The CEC is to better control business and better unite entrepreneurs to fight for broader rights and interests.

One is one of our own people, and the other is one of our own people plus more of our own people. Their natures are different.

But since Lao Liu is the chairman of CEC, of course he has to find a way to get Cao Yang in.

Otherwise, it would feel like a joke that there is no most powerful entrepreneur in the Chinese Entrepreneurs Club.

If Bomi doesn't participate, there's no point in having a meeting on your own.

Take this time Bomi Company is planning to engage in the laptop business. Even if the Taishan Association expresses strong protest and anger about this action, there is nothing you can do about Bomi.

There are even many companies that even though they are clearly in the team, Lenovo's supply chain does not look down on them, so they do very good business with Bomi, and Bomi will provide them with whatever materials they want. Process it however you want.

After all, the first priority of an enterprise is to survive, and others also need to make money.

If you, Lao Liu, could buy more domestic products, you wouldn't be in this situation now.

So Yanagawa turned a blind eye to this, feeling angry and helpless.

The third reason for meeting Cao Yang for dinner is to negotiate with him to clearly segment the laptop market.

In fact, judging from Yanagawa's personal wishes, he does not want to share the cake with Cao Yang at all, because Lenovo Group is the monopoly of the notebook computer business in China.

Even Shenzhou Computer was separated from Lenovo.

They still have part of the equity in Lenovo's hands.

So in China, Lenovo is basically the only one, and now Bomi suddenly appears, which really gives me a toothache.

Lao Liu himself was not in good health. After Bomi's notebook conference last year, his heart ached so much that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

After many efforts, with the help of Bomi's Liu Zhiping, Yanagawa Shi finally facilitated this meal.

Why did Liu Zhiping help?

Because Liu Zhiping is Bomi's vice president and Bomi's second-in-command, he has the right to advise on other businesses except the company's game department.

Moreover, the Bomi Strategy Department established by Liu Zhiping is mainly responsible for the company's investment and strategic operations. To put it bluntly, it uses Bomi's money to do business outside.

Liu Zhiping was able to serve as this middleman mainly because of Goldman Sachs.

He previously worked at Goldman Sachs and served as Goldman's head of Asia.

Later, he was poached by Bomi, and now the person in charge is Yanagawa Shi's niece.

It was precisely because of this relationship at Goldman Sachs that Liu Zhiping helped with the matchmaking.

Generally speaking, Liu Zhiping is still different from Cao Yang. His capitalist thinking is more serious, and he is more similar to Yanagawa Shi and others.

After all, for them, capital has no borders, and everyone helps each other, and they may not be able to use each other one day.

Therefore, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Sometimes knowing people and having a wide network of contacts is a strategic resource in itself.

After all, business still depends on people.

Cao Yang admired Liu Zhiping's management and investment talents and needed him, but he didn't have much disagreement with him, so he agreed to the dinner.

Yanagawa Zhi entertained Cao Yang and him alone.

We ate at the most famous Western restaurant in the Imperial Capital, a Michelin three-star high-end restaurant from Italy called LaPergola. This restaurant opened in the Imperial Capital last year, and many wealthy people have come here to experience it.

The entire restaurant is very luxuriously decorated and looks very classy.

There is a piano player on the first floor, which is full of the smell of money.

"Mr. Cao is really a talented person. It has been almost three months since we last met, right?" Yanagawa sat across from him and said with a smile.

The last time we met was because the President of the Republic of China invited Chinese entrepreneurs to a gathering and wanted to talk about investment promotion. Top companies such as Lenovo and Bomi were among those invited. Therefore, this was not the first time that Cao Yang met with Yanagawa Shi We had dinner together.

It's just like today, it's really the first time for two people to eat alone.

"Yes." Cao Yang said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you have a great memory, and you are getting younger and younger as you live. You look like you are in your 40s."

After the appetizers were served, the waiter brought everyone a plate of steak.

"No matter what, I am forced to have no choice. I have already retired, but due to the financial crisis, I have to go back to work in the company. My body cannot bear it at all."

Yanagawa said with a smile, "I take medicine every day now. My heart disease is always aching. I don't know how long I can live."

Yanagawa Shih was born in 1944 and is now 65 years old.

He does look a bit older.

However, Cao Yang's words still made him very happy.

"No matter what, there will be no problem for at least 30 years." Cao Yang responded with a smile.

30 years may be a bit empty, but 20 years is not a big problem. At least in 2021, Lao Liu will still be alive and well, and there are no major disasters or illnesses.

The 2008 financial crisis indeed had a great impact on the entire world.

Lenovo was the first to bear the brunt, and its sales were directly cut in half. It is normal when you think about it. People in many countries can't even afford to eat, and there is no spare money to buy laptops.

Fortunately, the economy has begun to recover recently and has gradually gained some good momentum.

In addition, Yanagawa has opened up many new market areas, and there is support from the country, so Lenovo is now alive.

Lenovo has received orders from many departments, whether it is government agencies, schools, or even hospitals... As long as they are not private companies, Lenovo laptops will be given priority when purchasing.

On the one hand, the higher authorities are consciously trying to help this national enterprise tide over the difficulties. On the other hand, there are not many good choices. Many security agencies are actually afraid to buy foreign products. They must buy domestic computers, mainly because they were given to them by the United States before. Scared of pitfalls.

In order to save unnecessary expenses, Lenovo also cut off its mobile phone department.

It was under this circumstance that Lenovo came out of the most difficult period step by step.

Now that the situation is improving and the financial crisis has come to an end, Yanagawa Shicai is living a more prosperous life.

When Cao Yang heard Yanagawa's story about Lenovo's experiences over the past year, he felt funny in his heart.

"Mr. Liu, you are really amazing. Come and let me toast you."

Cao Yang raised his wine glass and clinked it with him.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing Cao Yang being so polite, Yanagawa Zhi's eyes changed when he looked at him.

"I'm not as good as Mr. Liu, and I don't have the ability to turn the tide, so our company's life has been relatively dull for more than a year." Cao Yang said with a smile.

On the other hand, Bomi Company is simply a god-like existence during this economic crisis.

There was a wave of listings just before the financial crisis, which directly elevated Cao Yang from an ordinary entrepreneur to the world's richest man, and perfectly avoided the negative impact of the subsequent financial crisis.

When the financial crisis came, Bomi Company used the money raised by others to buy many high-quality stocks at low prices in the Omi market, and now they are making a lot of money.

Just by investing in Apple, you can reap at least 400% profit.

Well…

this…

Young people are really going too far and don't know how to restrain themselves at all.

You call this "living an ordinary life"?

Do you think you have no ability to turn the tide?

If I can do this, why bother trying to turn the tide?

Mr. Liu felt endless sadness in his heart!

It's really like people have different fates.

Lao Liu would definitely not think that Cao Yang had a vicious vision or clever methods. He could only say that this young man was lucky.

The two communicated for a while, and Mr. Liu didn't give Cao Yang a chance to show off anymore. He just sighed about the financial crisis and forcibly stopped the topic.

Yanagawa Zhi greeted Cao Yang, "Come on, Mr. Cao, I'll toast you."

Cao Yang raised his cup and clinked it with him.

Then the two of them looked at each other, smiled, and drank.

Yanagawa Zhi sighed silently in his heart -

This start has a good atmosphere.

Cao Yang, a young man, is quite easy to communicate with.
