"Come on, you're not short of women..."
"But I need you!"
Jiang Xiaoyan was about to speak when her mouth was covered.
The night is deep, and in countless dimly lit rooms, people are doing what is expected of the night. For many who are experiencing it for the first time, every night is a magical night.
As Li Lin pushed through the signing of the contract with Schroders, the matter could no longer be kept secret and spread throughout Wall Street, eventually reaching Watanabe Shi's ears.
Watanabe Shi was already suspicious when Lu Feng returned to China so unexpectedly. When this news broke, Watanabe Shi was shocked. He never expected that Lu Feng's feint on Wall Street was actually aimed at London.
"Three billion US dollars!!!"
Watanabe Shi said through gritted teeth, such a huge investment would attract attention on a global scale. Even if Watanabe Shi himself set up a company to attract investment, he might not be able to get such a huge investment.
Although Watanabe Shi didn't know how Lu Feng got the investment, he knew that Wall Street was in a very awkward position at the moment. Although Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other companies stood up to say that Jiafeng Electronics had no investment value, there were rumors that Jiafeng Electronics was a scheme orchestrated by Wall Street, and that Schroders Group had been swindled out of 3.5 billion US dollars this time.
Various conflicting rumors circulated internationally, but the only certainty was that Jiafeng was indeed going to receive the money.
Watanabe pondered for a long time, then suddenly muttered to himself, "Isn't this a great opportunity for me? A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
He beamed with joy and immediately called Eisen.
"Hello, is this Eisen? This is Watanabe Shi." Watanabe Shi said into the phone, "I have something to discuss with Mr. Lambert, it's related to Jiafeng Electronics."
"Let me ask for you!"
A few minutes later, the call was transferred. Lambert knew Watanabe Shi; when Watanabe was CEO of Goldman Sachs, Lambert was a fund manager at another financial firm.
"Hello, Mr. Watanabe, it's been a long time!" Lambert answered the phone with a touch of emotion. He was once a prominent figure, known as possibly the youngest CEO to join the World Bank. However, he lost in some power struggles and left with a accusation of seducing the wife of a major shareholder.
"Yes, it's been a long time. I just learned about Jiafeng Group's financing. I don't know the specifics, but I'm currently in charge of Motorola's overseas operations, which are in competition with Jiafeng Electronics in many ways. If you need any help, just let me know." Watanabe Shi didn't beat around the bush and spoke very directly.
Lambert was stunned when he heard this. He had been thinking about how to deal with Lu Feng these past two days. Such a large investment would definitely not be transferred all at once, but in several installments. If Jiafeng Electronics' business performance declined significantly before the later installments arrived.
Even if Schroders didn't believe Wall Street, they would withdraw their investment immediately upon seeing this situation.
"Motorola going up against Jiafeng Group, doesn't that seem a bit like bullying?" Lambert said with a smile. "Since Mr. Watanabe is willing to do something, then go ahead and do it."
Watanabe Shigeaki wasn't after those words, but rather a favor, saying, "If Mr. Lambert wants me to do this, I will certainly do it without hesitation."
Lambert knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, and he was afraid he would owe this favor, so he said, "Mr. Watanabe, please go ahead and do it. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that. I won't bother you any longer." Lambert said politely a few words and hung up the phone.
Watanabe Shi took a deep breath, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. After so many years in Japan, he had finally gotten his chance. He was determined to take back everything he had lost.
It was already late at night, but Watanabe still picked up the phone and called the Thai branch. No one answered the first call, so he called ten more. Around midnight, the president of Motorola's Thai branch was woken up from his sleep and told him the old phone number for headquarters.
He answered the phone while grumbling.
"Mr. Watanabe, I am Zha Tai! I am the president of the Thai branch. What can I do for you?"
"I'm officially informing you of something now. Starting immediately, we are launching a targeted attack on all of Jiafeng Group's products in the Thai market. I don't care what methods you use, I want them removed from the market within a month!!" Watanabe Shi shouted!
"Yes! Received! Understood!!"
