As the saying goes, plans are no match for changes.

This change, however, left Xing Baohua somewhat helpless.

Mitsui Fujisaburo backed down and wasn't as enthusiastic anymore. Overchter had arrived; they couldn't keep him waiting.

Xing Baohua had no choice but to have his secretary contact Mitsui Fujisaburo for a meeting.

Mitsui Tousaburo was also quite helpless when he received the notification. Everything was going well, but who knew this would happen? He cursed those idiots at Toshiba in his heart.

He had no choice but to go when Xing Baohua summoned him, but he could only stall for time to say what to say or talk about.

It's a particularly passive kind of procrastination.

Although the roles were reversed with Xing Baohua's, he didn't seem to be under any pressure!

If Mitsui Tousaburo drags his feet, the pressure will be immense.

They hurriedly sought instructions from headquarters, fearing that if the situation wasn't handled properly, Xing Baohua might start cutting flesh with a large cleaver.

Knowing Xing Baohua's personality, he knew that the other party would never break up the partnership unless they were ruthlessly ripped off.

The headquarters didn't have any good solutions either, so they decided to stall for time and wait for the storm to pass before making any decisions.

Mitsui Fujisaburo had no choice but to meet with Xing Baohua on behalf of headquarters.

First he apologized, then he said nice things. Whenever Xing Baohua mentioned Nissan, Mitsui Fuji apologized, but there was no real problem at all, only apology.

Xing Baohua's expression immediately turned grim.

"Mitsui Fuji, just waiting for an apology isn't enough! Does Nissan even agree to my conditions? They need to show some attitude! What good are your apologies, your excuses, and your sorrys?"

Xing Baohua couldn't help but say.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xing, please don't worry. Our headquarters is doing everything we can to resolve this. Things are indeed tense due to certain factors. We apologize, but please wait a moment. We will notify you of the results once headquarters has reached a new agreement with Nissan."

He kept bowing and apologizing, which made Xing Baohua very upset.

He had actually encountered this kind of apology that was completely ineffective several times.

We encountered two major online shopping platforms that are listed companies: Taobao and Duoduo.

I remember when I was shopping online, I specifically chose to buy from the official flagship store. At the time, I felt reassured, and the store promised free repairs within one year and a lifetime warranty if the item broke.

As long as the manufacturer doesn't go bankrupt, you can rest assured about after-sales service!

Okay! That's well said. But the thing still broke down after only ten months, less than two months before the free repair period ended.

I tried to contact the store, but found they had closed down.

He was immediately dumbfounded.

I'll complain to the platform's official customer service and see how they handle this. The seller said it has a one-year warranty with free repairs and lifetime maintenance, but my item is broken, where can I get it repaired? I can't find the seller, so they should at least tell me where to get it repaired, right?

The customer service representative was very helpful and assured us that they would take every valued customer seriously and would not let the customer suffer any losses. They said there would be a result within 48 hours.

After waiting 48 hours without any results, I contacted the platform's customer service again, and the complaint was escalated to a specialist's handling. This time, I received a result within three days.

Three days later, right on time, they gave me the result: a 100 yuan coupon! They even asked if I wanted to accept it.

This is unacceptable! The platform also said they couldn't find the store, so they just gave us a 100 yuan coupon and that was it.

The items weren't very valuable, only a little over four hundred yuan, less than five hundred.

The problem is that the platform offers a 100 yuan coupon, which can only be used for purchases within the platform. This means the previously purchased item is essentially forfeited from repairs. How do we account for this loss? If we buy the same item again, the difference between the two is equivalent to a loss of around 900 yuan.

You think you can just settle this for a hundred dollars? Nobody's happy about that!

The platform kept apologizing and trying to calm things down, saying that if the complaint was escalated again, a specialist would handle it and would definitely give the customer a satisfactory answer.

The customer service representative kept apologizing, saying they were sorry for the bad shopping experience.

Good grief, they're apologies like they're free, but what about repairs? What about after-sales service? Not a word. Just wait, three days, three more days. All they do is apologize, no action taken.

They drag it out until you either give up or ask for a hundred shopping vouchers.

So when Xing Baohua encountered a guy like Mitsui Fujii who only apologized but didn't do anything, she was furious.

This looks like Taobao's customer service platform. Damn, it really needs a serious overhaul.

Xing Baohua picked up the phone and, in front of Mitsui Tousaburo, made a call to the Japanese team.

"Three days later, Nissan will open the market and acquire 5% of the shares. Two days later, on my behalf, I will proceed with the acquisition of 15% of Nissan's total shares," Xing Baohua ordered.

Mitsui Tousaburo was stunned. How could this be?

I've been trying to arrange this for so long, and Xing Baohua hasn't even shown up. Now he's meeting me and immediately talking about acquisition? How can he treat me like this?

There was no time to delay, so he reluctantly took out his phone and urgently contacted headquarters. For some reason, he had angered Xing Baohua, who gave him three days. If he didn't get a clear answer by then, this guy was going to take over Nissan.

With 15%, plus the 5% of shares he already owns in circulation, that's equivalent to 20% of Nissan's shares.

This is ridiculous! Nissan is a national enterprise! If we try to stop them from acquiring it, we'll have to offer more than 20% of its value, which could be 3 billion or even more.

It's worth noting that even a large company like Mitsui Group only managed to acquire a meager 7% stake.

If Xing Baohua were to take the chairman's position, Japan would lose all face.

How frustrating! They were having a good talk and then suddenly changed their tune. When did Chinese people become so arrogant? Aren't they always been a reserved, polite, and cultured nation?

The news from Mitsui headquarters came back quickly, instructing Mitsui Fujisaburo to tell Xing Baohua that Nissan headquarters' Kume Toyo and his team would arrive in Hong Kong as soon as possible.
