at the same time.
Hong Kong, the Li family.
Li Zeju rushed back from outside and asked Li Jiacheng, "Dad, why did you call me back in such a hurry? I'm still dealing with company matters."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiacheng glared at him and scolded, "You good-for-nothing! I told you to shut down the entertainment company, but you wouldn't listen to me. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
"Dad, it's not what you think..." Li Zeju stammered, unable to defend himself.
Li Jiacheng, his back hunched, looked at him again and said earnestly, "You're not a child anymore, you should be more sensible."
Li Zeju immediately realized that his father was a kind father, not a tyrant.
But the next second.
Li Ka-shing, displaying his true colors as a ruthless tyrant, coldly said, "Find a few henchmen from the mainland to keep an eye on Jiang Wanming."
"Dad, do you mean that Jiang Wanming, this mainland guy, will cause trouble?"
Li Jiacheng shook his head. "It's hard to say right now. He came over at noon and wanted me to invest another 100 million in Wanjia Company, but I refused."
“I told him to go to Longteng Electronics. If we can reach an agreement, we can expand the market together and then get more money. But if we can’t reach an agreement, we’ll have to withdraw and cut our losses in time.”
By the end, Li Ka-shing's tone of voice had changed.
This is a HK$1 billion investment.
Unlike real estate, which can be held for a few years and sold when the market is good, real estate is not like real estate.
Electronic products are evolving rapidly, and in a month or two, the situation may be completely different.
Li Zeju nodded, his eyes turning sinister, and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll arrange for people to keep an eye on things right away. We'll know immediately if anything happens."
......
In the Longteng Electronics reception room.
Jiang Wanming finally met Wang An, and skipped all the pleasantries, getting straight to the point.
"Mr. Wang, I am Jiang Wanming from Wanjia Company. I am here today to discuss the price of VCDs with your company."
Wang An looked at him with surprise. "President Jiang, you represent Wanjia, and I represent Longteng. You're negotiating VCD prices with me? You haven't made a mistake, have you?"
He wouldn't have gotten this drunk if he had just eaten a couple of peanuts.
Jiang Wanming remained completely calm. He had already prepared his explanation before coming, and his face appeared composed and serene.
"Mr. Wang, you can't say that. Although we're all in the VCD business and seem to be competitors on the surface, the market is so big. Why don't we sit down and have a chat? Don't you agree?"
Jiang Wanming chuckled. Wang An couldn't quite figure out what he was up to, so he thought for a moment and then said...
"Since Mr. Jiang wants to have a chat with me, Mr. Wang, that's fine too. However... I must make it clear beforehand! Don't be fooled by my current position in charge of Longteng Electronics' VCD business; when it comes to decision-making... that's not something I can control."
Wang An was no pushover either, and he preemptively shut down the conversation.
Listening is fine, but making him make any promises is absolutely out of the question.
Jiang Wanming cursed "old fox" in his heart, but smiled ingratiatingly and said, "President Wang is joking. How about this, I'll express my thoughts first, and if there's anything inappropriate, we can discuss it."
"The most important thing in doing business is to make money through harmony!
It was really difficult for Jiang Wanming to say this. He used to be such a proud person, but he humbled himself so that Wanjia Company could barely survive.
"President Jiang, please say what you want to say."
Jiang Wanming pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts, and said, "President Wang, I won't beat around the bush."
"Currently, the only VCD brands on the market are our Wanjia Company, Longteng Electronics, and Sony from Japan."
"Sony goes without saying. They've always focused on being a high-end brand. As for the quality... you know without me saying it. But their prices are more than half as much as VCDs produced in China."
"Actually, I've been reflecting on this lately. Why can't our domestic brands unite and sell our own Chinese brands to other countries?"
"Compared to Sony's VCDs, the VCDs produced in our country are in no way inferior to theirs, and they also have a price advantage."
"If our two companies could join forces, I think it wouldn't be difficult to realize this dream, right?"
As Jiang Wanming spoke more and more fluently, he poured out his grievances to Wang An, which was also a true reflection of his inner thoughts.
Wang An was somewhat tempted.
Jiang Wanming was indeed eloquent; with just a simple description of the future, he aroused Wang An's desire.
If Chen Dong were here, he would be filled with emotion, realizing that adversity can truly change a person.
In another parallel world, Wan Yan's Jiang Wanming is incredibly arrogant and overbearing.
He completely ignored other people's advice, was arrogant and self-important in his decision-making, and made mistakes more than once.
Things like VCD patent technology, and collaborating with Sun Yansheng of CCube to start a company, but then spinning off the most core decoding chip independently.
This led to Wan Yan's gradual fall from grace in the subsequent competition.
But in this life, with Chen Dong's involvement, everything has changed.
In terms of decoding chips, Chen Dong acquired ccube in advance through capital investment, and in terms of international patents, he took the lead in registering all VCD-related patents.
Time flies.
Most of the time, Jiang Wanming was the one talking and Wang An was the one listening.
Jiang Wanming asked anxiously, "President Wang, could you please give me an answer?"
