Director Tang began his narration, recounting how he accompanied three people from Changan Automobile to the Luzhong Automobile Factory, and then had dinner with Toyota to finalize arrangements for a trip to Japan.

The Automobile Bureau wanted to invite Xing Baohua to accompany them on the inspection.

The conversation was full of polite words, saying that Xing Baohua was an authority in this field.

Actually, what Director Tang didn't say was his most important point: he hoped Xing Baohua would go along to make the payment. Otherwise, if the deal was finalized but Chang'an didn't have the funds, wouldn't that be a complete mess?

Besides, Toyota is also targeting Xing Baohua. They've interfered, but then again, they're all working for G. The models and technologies are all the same, and Xing Baohua will have to prioritize the bigger picture.

The idea was good, but it encountered a troublesome character like Xing Baohua who was not very obedient.

People from different eras have different perspectives on the big picture.

Besides, Toyota's cakes are just that delicious.

"Director Tang, I really can't go back! There are more important things to do here," Xing Baohua said.

“What could be more important than the development of G’s automobile industry? You still have half a month. Come back first, and we can have a good talk. If you really can’t find the time, we can meet in Japan. It’ll only take two days,” Director Tang advised.

"I'm really sorry, but my situation is much more important than yours."

"Tell me what the main issues are, and I'll help you coordinate them." Director Tang was somewhat dissatisfied, probably thinking that he was quite capable and could help Xing Baohua solve some problems.

"It's inconvenient to talk about it over the phone," Xing Baohua said tactfully.

"Is there anything inconvenient?" As soon as Director Tang finished speaking, Xing Baohua hung up the phone.

"Hello, hello!" Director Tang's expression changed as he heard the busy tone on the phone.

He preferred to believe that the overseas phone call had gone offline.

Xing Baohua hung up the phone, called his driver to take him to the embassy in Los Angeles, and found the relevant staff.

He gave a brief report, explaining that the domestic automotive bureau had been urging him to return to Japan for an inspection, but he was too busy to leave.

Director Tang from the automobile bureau kept calling him to ask what was wrong, saying he wanted to help coordinate something so that he could spare some time to come over.

"The Starlink project, the satellite that Motorola is developing is called Iridium. It's now in the testing phase, and next month I'll be going to China with Motorola's technical director..." Xing Baohua rambled on about the reasons he couldn't go back.

These things really can't be discussed over the phone. If Director Tang is truly capable, he should come and coordinate!

If he dares to coordinate, those in the transportation industry could probably kill him.

Xing Baohua finally managed to secure a long-term shipping order, but then Director Tang managed to sabotage it. They're probably so angry they could send Director Tang flying to the moon.

Whether the car is more important or the freight is more important, everyone knows which is more important.

Xing Baohua felt it was inconvenient to tell them over the phone, so he conveyed the message directly through the embassy's channels.

That's what makes him so cunning.

They tattle behind people's backs, and they even exaggerate the severity of the situation.

This is no small matter. Several departments are involved. So, what is Director Tang doing? And what is Xing Baohua doing?

Those involved in transportation also found out. The Ministry of Machinery Industry is different, and its structure is different too.

Xing Baohua's words didn't exactly cause a major uproar, but they were close.

Director Tang is in a terrible situation.

I still don't understand what's going on? My job has been changed.

I later learned that there are some things you shouldn't ask about casually.

As for the group trip to Toyota for inspection, that plan also fell through.

The newly appointed director of the General Office is surnamed Li. His name is Li Junhua.

When he came up, he had some understanding of where the previous Director Tang had gone wrong.

They even cancelled the trip to R, not saying they wouldn't go at all, just that it would be postponed. This makes it easier to explain to those with connections or favors.

I also sent a letter to Toyota explaining why I wasn't going.

This means Toyota will have to change some of its plans. Meanwhile, Xing Baohua's team is still accumulating shares in the stock market.

This caused the stock price to rise again.

Toyota didn't have any good options either. They raised funds to compete with Xing Baohua for the circulating shares, and the more they competed, the higher the price went.

Despite the high cost, it effectively prevented Xing Baohua's team from receiving the goods.

Toyota was also very anxious about this situation, and its efforts to acquire outstanding shares only provided temporary relief. Finally, their chairman, Eiji Toyoda, personally went to see Tousaburo Mitsui.

Eiji Toyoda was the nephew of the founder, Sakichi Toyoda.

He served as Toyota's chairman for 15 years during the 1980s and 90s.

He has made invaluable contributions to the development of Toyota.

When Eiji Toyoda sought out Tousaburo Mitsui, it was a sign of how much importance he placed on Mitsui.

Moreover, in terms of social status, Mitsui Tousaburo is nothing at all.

The bigwig personally invited him, so Mitsui Tousaburo had no choice but to give him face.

Mitsui Tousaburo is one of the people who understands Xing Baohua. As for the speculation on Toyota stock, he doesn't feel it's like the speculation on Nissan.

He also analyzed, "Xing Baohua currently has two sports car models. It's probably unlikely that he'll want a Toyota sports car. Perhaps you have other technologies that are worth attracting."

"Then please ask Mitsui-san to talk to Xing Baohua and see what his purpose is?" the Toyota president said.

Mitsui Tousaburo took on the work he didn't want to do.

Mitsui Tousaburo gained considerable fame and earned a substantial commission for facilitating the collaboration between Xing Baohua and Nissan.

Who told this guy to know Xing Baohua?

Select a fine set of golf clubs from Japan. Have your assistants in Hong Kong inquire about Xing Baohua's whereabouts.
