Mitsui Tousaburo couldn't offer Xing Baohua the price he wanted; to be precise, he couldn't make decisions for Nissan!
Moreover, Xing Baohua set the negotiation standard at 1 billion, making this a very challenging task.
Initially, he wanted to connect Xing Baohua with Nissan and put pressure on Nissan by contacting senior executives at Mitsui. However, Nissan was planning to launch a new GTR model next year and already had plans in place.
With Mitsui Fujisaburo's intervention, Nissan, under pressure, had no choice but to sell this car, which they had acquired but had only produced a few of, to Xing Baohua.
Another issue is that some people within Nissan support selling, while others don't.
Those who didn't want to sell also had good reasons: they felt confident the new car would sell well.
Those who want to sell feel that it's a car with little future potential, but it meets export requirements, so they sell it to get some funds to invest in developing other models.
Whether it's 3 billion or 4 billion, this price is to shut up those who don't want to sell.
A high price can deter potential buyers, which aligns with the psychology of those who want to prevent sales. However, if a buyer insists on purchasing, those who want to prevent sales shouldn't stand in their way. Even with the latest technology, can an older car model generate a profit of four billion?
No, if it were sold, the profit would be more than four billion, plus the costs of selling other spare parts and providing service guidance.
They were all betting that Xing Baohua, this wealthy man, desperately needed the car models and production lines.
Moreover, they have complete vehicle parts, which can be used for production without the need for piecing together or debugging.
Just like the sports car Xing Baohua made, wasn't it also pieced together from various sources?
Although the initial cost is low, the time cost increases due to modifications, adjustments, and test models.
Only a few hundred sports cars are produced each year! Not only are they expensive, but they are also subject to specific market restrictions.
After Nissan's negotiations with Xing Baohua broke down, who knew that this guy, who was unethical and had plenty of money, would use the money he had just earned from Mitsui Bank to invest in Nissan stock.
If everyone plays this maliciously, it will definitely break the rules.
Mitsui Fujisaburo came to scout ahead and make initial contact with Xing Baohua to gauge her intentions. Since both sides' conditions were roughly the same, they continued negotiations.
Moreover, Xing Baohua seemed to be taking advantage of his wealth and power to try and take a bite out of Nissan.
If that happens, Xing Baohua will only get Nissan's money, not any products, and will also incur Nissan's hostility.
To find a solution, we need to not only raise prices from Xing Baohua, but also lower prices from Nissan.
If the stalemate continues, it will only result in mutual destruction. Mitsui Tousaburo will not benefit either.
Seeing Xing Baohua's resolute gaze, Mitsui Fujisaburo understood that the issue still needed to be negotiated with Nissan.
He's definitely not going to let it go, even if he takes a step back.
The problem is that Mie Fujisaburo is just a middleman; he doesn't know where Nissan's bottom line is.
Even if he uses his connections within the Mitsui Group to pressure Nissan, given the Japanese's volatile temper, it would still be considered insubordination—a problem that has existed for over a hundred years.
If the attempt to suppress Nissan fails and causes a backlash, Mitsui Tousaburo will face difficulties in the future.
They thought they could take a shortcut to earn more revenue, but it turned out to be a hot potato.
Fortunately, we already knew where Xing Baohua's bottom line was. After saying goodbye to Xing Baohua, we first discussed with Nissan to find out Nissan's bottom line.
Then we went back to negotiate with Xing Baohua.
Being a middleman means running back and forth, and sometimes it's difficult to navigate the situation when you're caught in the middle.
Xing Baohua didn't care about any of that.
Two or three billion yuan could buy a Ferrari or a Porsche, of course, if they want to sell, otherwise they won't sell to you even if you have the money.
Their own people could easily acquire it for tens or hundreds of millions.
But what about outsiders? They're like lions opening their mouths wide.
Nissan adopts a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. The price is what it is; take it or leave it!
This forced Xing Baohua to resort to underhanded tactics.
I was thinking of getting involved with Toyota as well, but unfortunately I don't have enough money to invest.
We can only wait for an opportunity.
After seeing this person off, Xing Baohua spent his time keeping an eye on the progress of the telecommunications project and tinkering with Huahong's land plots.
They pooled their funds to prepare for land purchases.
The power of the shareholders' families was also demonstrated; they negotiated when necessary and bribed those who needed to be bribed.
Anyone else who wants to snatch this kind of luxury group booking business will have to think twice before being besieged by seven or eight other powerful companies.
So they acquired that piece of land in Victoria Harbour.
With installment payments, I paid over a billion H coins as a down payment and successfully acquired the land without much effort.
The remaining task was to demolish the old buildings. There were professionals who specialized in this, and Xing Baohua had people send invitations to major architectural design companies.
Actually, there was no need to send a message. Those organizations had noses more sensitive than sharks to the smell of blood, and they all made appointments to see him.
This fellow put in the effort to meet with each of them, telling them his ideas for the buildings he wanted to construct.
Even the sketched picture.
Several companies rejected Xing Baohua's design; one look at it and you can tell this design is extremely difficult.
Waterproofing a rooftop pool involves a significant expense in terms of materials.
With so many tons of water, the pressure resistance of the lower structures is also a problem.
There is also a major problem, which is the weather.
Hong Kong experiences several typhoons each year, and the taller the building, the higher the damage rate under the influence of typhoons.
With so much water on the rooftop, swaying back and forth during a typhoon, the main building is also suffering! Even with dampers, the swaying of the water in the pool will generate enormous inertial kinetic energy.
