As for Wang Zhijun and the like, they probably just played a connecting or initiating role. They didn't play any crucial part.
But Tokuda Kagemasa was different; he was the real lobbyist sent by Toyota.
Meeting in private is a violation of discipline. Although he may have great power over Luzhong Automobile Factory, the real power lies with Xing Baohua.
Rejection is the norm these days.
Tokuda Kagemasa continued with a smile, "Mr. Wei, I've come to talk to you with sincerity. I won't beat around the bush. Let's talk privately. Please take a look at our offer."
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Wei Laisong also made contact with the other party under the pretense of gathering information.
He brought a translator and spoke with Tokuda Kagemasa in another room.
The two talked for about twenty minutes, and when Wei Laisong came out of the room, his face remained expressionless.
Upon meeting the personnel arranged by Xing Baohua, he said, "Could you arrange a car to rush back to Jingdong tonight?"
Although it was inconvenient, it was still possible to get it done. I borrowed the phone from the small restaurant and made several calls. About half an hour later, the car finally arrived.
Although JD.com is not very close to Mount Fuji, on a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji with the naked eye from JD.com's tallest building.
We rushed back overnight, arriving at JD.com around 1 a.m.
Despite his exhaustion, Wei Laisong knocked on Xing Baohua's door.
Wei Laisong's sudden return surprised him; he was having a great time with Miss Fa Zi.
Being interrupted so suddenly, isn't that infuriating?
Wei Laisong was getting impatient waiting outside. When did Xing Baohua start dawdling like this? He kept knocking on the door.
Five or six minutes later, Xing Baohua opened the app and saw Wei Laisong looking displeased.
"Why are you back!"
“If something happens, you come back! What’s the rush? Why are you dawdling?” Wei Laisong said, trying to go inside.
Seeing that Xing Baohua did not move aside for the time being, he immediately remembered that there was a little beauty in his room.
Alright, I pulled Xing Baohua, who was wearing pajamas, to his room to talk.
"Toyota sent someone to follow me. We've met and talked. They offered me a person and very high terms," Wei Laisong said to Xing Baohua as soon as he entered Wei Laisong's room.
"What conditions are you offering? Tell me. If the conditions are good, you can try to curry favor with me." Xing Baohua was too embarrassed to say the first two words.
Wei Laisong put down his bag, took off his coat, and hung it on the coat rack by the door. He walked over to the coffee table to get some water.
"Putting aside my conditions for now, let's talk about what Toyota wants."
"Okay! I'm listening," Xing Baohua said, and began to rummage through the coffee table in Wei Laisong's room to see if there were any cigarettes.
"They want Toyota to invest in Luzhong Automobile Factory, with a stake of about 5% to 10%, and to have voting and advisory rights."
"If you say you can't do it, have they told you about any other solutions?" Xing Baohua couldn't find a cigarette, so he found a comfortable spot to recline on the sofa.
"They haven't told me about any other plans yet, and Toyota has assured me that after acquiring shares in Luzhong Auto Factory, they will help us develop a perfect flagship model?" Wei Laisong said.
"Toyota is trying to take a roundabout approach! Since it can't get through here, they've started targeting you. Not a bad idea, Comrade Wei Laisong. Judging from this incident, you've stood the test. Keep up the good work! I expect there will be more tests waiting for you in the future, so please keep your red heart in check," Xing Baohua joked with a smile.
He didn't pay any attention to Toyota's underhanded tactics. These things weren't even worth mentioning. Even if Wei Laisong had been bribed, the decision-making power was still in his hands. He was the chairman and had veto power.
Although using this veto vote would destabilize the board of directors, it could potentially cause Xing Baohua and Wei Laisong's relationship to plummet, or even break down.
Fortunately, Wei Laisong was able to resist the temptation and rushed back overnight, which shows that his heart is still upright.
Xing Baohua told Wei Laisong not to worry too much about it and to continue eating, drinking, and having fun. As long as he didn't cross the line, he was fine with whatever he wanted.
At this point, Wei Laisong was in no mood to play!
Even taking a bath got me scammed. I guess I'll just stay home and watch a pay movie!
It's just a little infuriating to watch!
Xing Baohua returned to his room and lost all interest in playing with Fa Zi. He told the little girl to go to sleep first, then took out his cigarettes, lit one, and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
I woke up a little late the next day.
After washing up, the first thing I did was call Mitsui Tousaburo to inform him that he wanted to start the second round of negotiations.
He added, with a hint of warning, "This negotiation will determine whether he becomes a true shareholder of Toyota."
Mitsui Tousaburo didn't understand what it meant at first.
Even without negotiation, Xing Baohua is now Toyota's largest individual shareholder?
They already own 4.9% of the shares, what more do they want?
It's really just a matter of whether or not to raise the bid. Once the bid is raised, Xing Baohua is very likely to launch a hostile takeover.
Adding to this guy's recent real estate purchases by JD.com, the economic impact on the surrounding area has already caused a stir, and everyone can see how wealthy and powerful he is.
His joining Toyota is like giving Toyota's stock a shot of adrenaline, causing it to skyrocket.
This growth is uncertain and reflects the frenzied buying by individual investors and small institutions.
At that time, Xing Baohua would likely sell the stocks and withdraw from the market.
