Chapter 1,727 A Friend Is only a Friend

"He wants to see me?" Akio Morita asked a little inexplicably when he learned that the big capitalist Tuan Shanai said wanted to see him.

"Yes, Mr. Morita, sir, you are invited to meet in person. This is a rare opportunity for Dongtong and you, please don't miss it."

Tuan Shanai said to the two of them sincerely, although she couldn't understand why Li Zitao insisted on meeting Akio Morita instead of the Ibuka she mentioned.

But it doesn't matter.

The process doesn't matter, and who you meet doesn't matter, as long as the end result is good, it's a good thing for them.

The reason why Tuan Shanai helped Dongtong was not only because her deceased father was optimistic about Jing Shenda, but also because of her own reasons.

She is very optimistic about the TV industry. Especially after learning about the development and potential of the American market, she believes that Japan's potential will never be worse than it.

The United States has North America and Europe, and they also have Asia and the Far East as potential markets.

As long as we can gain technological advantages, it is not impossible to make the American market our own.

Don’t forget, they are backed by American capital.

If Dongtong can reach cooperation with ARC, or obtain technical support unilaterally, it will definitely take off and grow rapidly.

At that time, all we have to do is take the opportunity to acquire part of the shares before the news of the cooperation between the two parties is announced to the public.

Whether it is self-sustaining or rising selling, it is a good thing for Tuan Shan Ai.

She is not a superficial woman who only knows how to squander money on men. She has a huge backer like Li Zitao, with such huge resources and connections.

It would be foolish not to take advantage of the situation and improve your abilities and connections.

…

A meeting between the two was scheduled for the next day.

Following the hidden path to the door of Li's residence, Akio Morita asked with a smile, "I didn't expect there to be such a unique residence in Tokyo."

Tuan Shanai smiled, bowed and invited: "Mr. Shengtian, please."

The messy but orderly cobblestones paved a winding path on the ground. Following Tuan Shanai around the house, Akio Morita saw a man sitting in the pavilion having a drink.

His black hair was messy, and he was wearing a nightgown. One leg was bent to support the arm holding the wine, and the other hand was supporting the ground.

The bohemian sitting posture made Akio Morita smile contemptuously, but his expression remained humble and low-key.

However, he didn't expect that the big capitalist he wanted to meet would actually be a Chinese.

"Akio Morita, please sit down." Li Zitao said in standard Chinese.

After sitting down with a surprised expression, Akio Morita kept looking at Tuan Shanai, as if he was asking for an answer.

Of course he understood Chinese. In fact, during this period, most Japanese knew some Chinese.

Even if it is not standard, there is no problem with daily listening.

"Li Sang is my master and one of the most powerful capitalists in the United States. Please have no doubt, Morita-kun."

Tuan Shan'ai said and bowed, stepped back a few steps and knelt beside Li Zitao, acting like a maid waiting to serve her master.

Looking at Akio Morita opposite, Li Zitao couldn't help but sigh at the power of the butcher's knife of time.

At this time, he looked high-spirited, with a fashionable three-quarter-length hairdo, which was covered with a lot of hair wax and could be seen reflecting in the sunlight.

His face was even more childish, the mustache on his chin was quite funny, and he looked a little uneasy when he sat down.

To be honest, if his name were not Akio Morita, Li Zitao would still think of him as an uncertain young man.

However, during the conversation, Li Zitao discovered his characteristics.

This is a Japanese who is not Japanese. There is no shackles of old-fashionedness in him, and he will not nod and bow at every turn, "Hi, hi, hi..."

On the contrary, when he talked about Western countries, his eyes shone brilliantly and he talked endlessly.

He is another young man who has been Westernized, but perhaps because of this, he was able to break his inherent grudge and set his sights on the American market.

"I heard from Aiko that Dongtong, which you established with your friends, is in trouble.

New investors are desperately needed. "

The two were talking about Westernized market rules, and Li Zitao suddenly interrupted his speech, which made Akio Morita feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, Li Sang." Akio Morita said politely: "We are looking for like-minded friends who can create a future together."

"That's great. As a person like me, what I like most is making friends." Li Zitao said with a smile, "There is an old saying in China, go out of your way to save your friends."

"I've heard this proverb, it's very philosophical." Akio Morita praised.

"Then, let's talk about cooperation." Li Zitao changed the topic quickly and immediately talked about cooperation.

After all, Morita Akio is still young, and he feels like he is being led around.

I want to interrupt the other party, but I am worried about investment.

Although he was full of confidence in Dongtong's future, when he had no money, his back was still a little rickety unconsciously.

What's more, the person sitting opposite him is the head of a top consortium from the United States.

Even if he wants to show off his personality and challenge the rules, Akio Morita knows the right rules.

It may be worth considering whether he wants to invest in Dongtong and how much money is appropriate.

But if he angers the other party, Akio Morita can be sure that it will not be difficult for him to destroy Dongtong.

With just one word, there are many people willing to do it for him.

On the way here, Akio Morita had already analyzed the true identity of Tuan Shanai from his mouth.

Especially what Tuan Shanai said during the meeting, "one of the most powerful capitalists in the United States".

There are many capitalists who can be called the most powerful in the United States.

However, as a Chinese, Akio Morita could not think of anyone else who could be so highly regarded except for the mysterious and huge Li Group.

The moment his thoughts were turning, Akio Morita had already made a decision. As long as the other party's conditions were not too excessive, he would convince Ibuka to accept the investment.

"I don't need a false reputation, and I won't deprive the founders and workers of the glory... All I want is shares and investment returns."

"To put it bluntly, all I value is the guarantee of investment returns." Li Zitao's request was simpler than Akio Morita thought.

However, he was not sure how this 'guarantee' would be fulfilled.

"Li Sang, the guarantee you mentioned, in terms of details..."

"Holding, as a subsidiary of ARC, Dongtong has completely independent leadership, and you are still responsible for the specific operations of the company.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as the company suffering consecutive losses due to poor management, senior management negligence, ethical issues... or encountering a bankruptcy crisis, etc. "

What Li Zitao said were common sense issues, and they didn't sound problematic.

However, Akio Morita could hear his ambition from the request of 'holding'. The other party was avoiding the important and taking the easy and wanted to lower his vigilance to achieve his goal.
