Chapter 838: Arrogant Toyota Ken1
The car door opened, and Kenichi Toyota slowly got out of the car, glancing coldly at the surroundings.
Hirata Ichiro immediately went over to him, bowed, and said respectfully, "Chairman, welcome to the China branch! I've prepared a quiet meeting place for you. Please move over."
At this moment, Ichiro Hirata was so humble and respectful, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.
Toyota Kenichi nodded slightly, his tone cold: "Well, lead the way."
Ichiro Hirata hurriedly stepped aside to lead the way, carefully observing Kenichi Toyota's expression as he walked.
At this moment, he was extremely nervous, fearing that the chairman would suddenly ask about the branch company.
After entering the office, Kenichi Toyoda sat in the main seat, while Ichiro Hirata and other senior executives stood respectfully beside him.
Toyota Kenichi looked around and said calmly, "Hirata, you've managed the Chinese branch very well. I'm very satisfied."
Hirata Ichiro felt a little relieved when he heard this, and quickly said, "Thank you for the compliment, Chairman. This is what I should do."
However, what Kenichi Toyota said next made Ichiro Hirata's heart jump to his throat again.
"However, my visit to China this time, in addition to inspecting the branch, has another purpose."
Toyota Kenichi's gaze grew sharper, and his tone carried a hint of meaning, "That's the new energy technology that's been making such a fuss in China lately."
Ichiro Hirata's heart tightened, he knew what the chairman was talking about.
Recently, China's new energy technology has indeed attracted global attention, especially the young man named Lu Feng, who has become the focus.
Toyota Kenichi looked at Hirata Ichiro and asked slowly, "Hirata, how much do you know about this new energy technology and its owner, Lu Feng?"
Hirata Ichiro quickly replied, "Chairman, we did do some research on Lu Feng. His origins are extremely mysterious, and no one can say where he came from. But he rose to prominence very quickly, becoming a prominent figure in the Magic City almost overnight."
"Furthermore, he recently defeated Tengfei Group, China's leading internet empire."
Toyota Kenichi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of interest in his tone: "Oh? Defeated the Tengfei Group? This Lu Feng, it seems, is no ordinary person."
Ichiro Hirata nodded in agreement, "Yes, Chairman. Landwind's methods are very powerful, and his new energy technology has attracted global attention. Our branch has also been paying attention to his movements, but we haven't found a suitable entry point yet."
When Toyota Kenichi heard Hirata Ichiro's explanation, his face instantly darkened. He snorted coldly, his tone full of obvious dissatisfaction:
"Haven't you found a breakthrough point yet? As far as I know, Chinese car companies have already started to adopt that new energy technology. By the time you find a breakthrough point, Tianfeng Automobile Group won't even get a sip!"
Seeing the dissatisfaction of his chairman, Ichiro Hirata broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and quickly explained:
"Chairman, we did send someone to find Lu Feng before, trying to cooperate with him. But Lu Feng's attitude towards us was extremely resistant. He even said... that he would rather throw this technology away than give it to us."
When Toyota Kenichi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then he said in an extremely disappointed tone: "I thought this Lu Feng was a big shot, but I didn't expect him to be a guy who is controlled by his emotions."
"But this is also a good thing. Since he is so impulsive, it will be much easier for us to seize this new energy technology from him."
He paused, his tone tinged with contempt and disdain: "This kind of technology is only worthy of our Neon Country. Chinese car companies are simply not worthy of mastering such advanced technology."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several Chinese executives standing in the office changed instantly.
They are all Chinese, and although they work for the Tianfeng Automobile Group, they were immediately filled with anger when they heard Toyota Kenichi insult their country in such a way.
One of the executives clenched his fists unconsciously, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he did not dare to attack. He could only lower his head and suppress his dissatisfaction.
Hirata Ichiro was keenly aware of the other people's mood changes and secretly thought that something was wrong. He quickly spoke with a hint of urgency in his tone: "You can leave now. I have something private to discuss with the chairman."
Upon hearing this, several executives, although still angry, could only nod and leave.
After they walked out of the office, they looked at each other with a complicated look in their eyes.
One of them whispered, "Toyota Kenichi's words are too much. Although we are employees of Tian Feng, we are also Chinese. How can he insult our country like this?"
Another person sighed and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. He's the chairman after all. We're just employees. What can we say? Just bear with it."
Inside the office, Hirata Ichiro breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the others leave. He turned to look at Toyota Kenichi, his tone cautious:
"Chairman, what you just said... may cause some unnecessary trouble. After all, most of the employees in this branch are Chinese, and they may be sensitive to such remarks."
Toyota Kenichi gave Hirata Ichiro a cold look, his tone tinged with disdain: "Sensitive? So what? They're just part-time workers. Do they dare to resist?"
"Hirata, you have to remember that our Japanese companies don't need to care about the feelings of these people."
"We have only one goal, which is to master new energy technology and enable Tianfeng Automobile Group to occupy a dominant position in the global market."
Ichiro Hirata nodded quickly, not daring to say anything more.
Kenichi Toyoda was a very strong-willed person who didn't care about other people's feelings. He could only cautiously agree, "The chairman is right. I'll find a solution as soon as possible."
The two continued chatting for a long time, but during this time Ichiro Hirata never dared to mention the matter of the branch factory in Shanghai.
Lu Feng, who was on his way back to China at this time, did not know that the chairman of Tianfeng Group had already arrived in China, and his main target was him.
But even if he knew, it would be so. To him, the Japanese are not good people. It's okay if you don't provoke him, but if you provoke him, he will let the other party know why the flowers are so red.
......
imperial capital.
In the chairman’s office at the Hanzi Jump headquarters.
Zhang Tianyi was looking at the information on the computer with a serious face.
"Honestly, I'm a little scared now. Is it good or bad to have such a big Buddha in the dancing Chinese characters?"
President Wang Zhaoyang, who was sitting on the sofa, said worriedly.
"Yes, Chairman, our new shareholder is incredibly powerful. He's like an iceberg hidden in the deep sea. So far, all we've seen is a small portion of him sticking out of the water. We have no idea how big he is beneath the surface."
"It's quite dangerous to cooperate with such people. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's like inviting a wolf into your house."
Deputy General Manager Liu Shen beside him also echoed.
