Emperor Kangxi believed that it was normal for a person to rise from a commoner to a position of power and then become greedy for money; it was simply human nature.
This is a saying from the Qing Dynasty: "Two sleeves of clean wind, ten thousand taels of silver." This already considered a very poor and honest official.
Xing Baohua knew this too, so he used them. If you don't give them any benefits and just make them work, you can't retain such people.
Expecting loyalty?
That era is over. The next step is to retain employees by offering increasingly higher salaries and stock options.
Zhao Shanhai understood Xing Baohua's final hint.
You can have fun without worrying about any issues of conduct, since you're out in public.
But when it comes to accepting small gifts, he needs to think about how to do it.
This was approved by the boss himself, but who likes someone who is also greedy?
The lure of money did indeed keep Zhao Shanhai awake at night. The day after tomorrow was the Toyota board meeting. If the other party initiated premium negotiations, how could he subtly convince them that Xing Baohua's bottom line was either 50% or a plan to break up Toyota?
He secretly manipulated things to make people think he could play a significant role in driving down prices.
I have too little experience; my brain isn't big enough to keep up.
Only Zhao Shanhai knew that Xing Baohua wanted to get the money back as quickly as possible.
Instead of fighting Toyota to the death.
Xing Baohua played brilliantly this time, making it seem like he was determined to destroy Toyota.
I'm so worried that I can't sleep.
Just then, the phone by the bedside rang, and when I answered it, I immediately recognized Mitsui Fuji's voice.
Aside from apologizing, all he does is arrange the event for tomorrow night.
Goodness, they're really pushing the boundaries!
Alright, let's continue having fun. I happily accepted Mitsui Fuji's invitation.
This also left Mitsui Fuji somewhat confused.
Shouldn't he be angry that I suddenly invited him to meet with Eiji Toyoda today? How come he can't even hear a polite remark?
It seems that Mitsui Tousaburo has discovered a slight weakness in Zhao Shanhai.
Lust is indeed a dangerous thing! It doesn't matter if you're old or young.
That's great! That makes things easier. Putting everything else aside, what Japan has in abundance is meat business.
Many young housewives basically stay at home and don't go out to work. After finishing their housework, they basically have nothing to do.
Men work hard to earn money, and when they are tired and exhausted, they go to brothels to relax and relieve stress.
But the husband has to wait patiently. If the man in the house can't earn money, the pressure of life is quite high. So the wife goes out to do part-time jobs without telling the man.
Often, when married Japanese men go to brothels to relieve stress, there's a high chance they'll end up ordering their own wives.
The money was paid as usual, and the tip was given as usual.
Even Japan has produced such theoretical films and television dramas, which apparently won a major award in Japan.
The male protagonist's lack of income may be due to the economic situation in Japan, with many companies laying off employees. Finding a job is difficult, but not working is not an option either, so he eventually finds a low-paying job.
According to company rules, a ceremony must be held for newly hired employees.
I went to a brothel for drinks and my boss, a section chief, picked out a girl who looked exactly like my wife.
But they still had to force a smile and pretend they didn't know.
Especially the boss's groping hands, groping all over the place! Ugh! I can't even begin to describe how frustrated the male protagonist was.
After returning home, the couple started arguing.
The family's problems stemmed from economic issues.
"If you had just worked a little harder and earned more money, you wouldn't be seeing me being bullied by your boss and colleagues!"
This line struck a chord with many Japanese men, resulting in high attendance for the film.
This kind of thing is very common among the Japanese!
Mitsui Tousaburo is now wondering what flavor Zhao Shanhai wants.
Is it à la carte or a monthly/yearly subscription?
Forget it, there's no use thinking about it too much. After all, Zhao Shanhai is representing Xing Baohua on official business in Japan, and his stay will be quite long. Let's just get him a monthly pass for now.
Judging from the last drinking session, Zhao Shanhai seems to prefer women with a certain charm. Why choose someone around thirty when there are so many younger women available? This suggests that the market for JD.com's hot drinks is quite large.
The next day, Zhao Shanhai and the branch's main executives tidied their clothes and documents and traveled to Toyota headquarters in the company car.
When the car arrived at Toyota headquarters, it saw a large crowd gathered, some even holding banners.
Zhao Shanhai noticed a few words that seemed familiar. A senior executive beside him translated for Zhao Shanhai, "They're protesting against the boss!"
"Protesting the boss?" Zhao Shanhai asked in surprise.
"These protesters are probably Toyota employees. They want Toyota to stay under ownership and they're opposing the boss's business encroachment," the manager said.
"Is this considered a protest? We're entering the market legitimately. What would they do if the boss joined Toyota?" Zhao Shanhai was also puzzled by this bizarre protest.
"These people are calling on their colleagues to resign en masse. They're using this resignation tactic to force the government to intervene forcefully," the executive continued.
"This is a discriminatory protest. Should we notify the relevant overseas departments and protest as well?" Zhao Shanhai was also very angry. How could they obstruct normal business negotiations like this?
Taking photos and preserving evidence—the executives started taking action without Zhao Shanhai even saying a word.
Zhao Shanhai believes this is a rude awakening from Toyota.
With a dark expression, he led his team into the Toyota event venue.
As expected of a large company, it has nearly a hundred shareholders and representatives.
