Chapter 299 Yasuda and Li Jie
Location: Osaka, inside the Osborne Toyo Branch Building.
Chairman Yasuda's life has not been easy in recent months. As the actual leader of the Osborne Group, the Toyo Division. This man, who was nearly sixty years old, was beginning to feel a little tired.
Although he has a vigor that is completely out of proportion to his age (vitality is the weapon that guarantees him in business and workplace struggles), but this rapidly changing world is too overwhelming.
There is a law that exists in electronic commodities that many people regard as the golden rule. That is Moore's Law, which roughly means: when the price remains constant, the number of components that can be accommodated on an integrated circuit will double every 18-24 months, and the performance will also double.
This formula reveals the explosive development of modern society. Whenever technology accumulates to a certain level, it only needs a burst point to appear, which will bring about huge changes in the entire social class.
And this change is enough to change the entire structure of human life and the way society operates.
In the late 1970s, Yasuda Eiji (the chairman of Yasuda) just started working. Business documents do not need to be delivered on the same day or next day. At that time, a cross-border business negotiation was an arduous tug-of-war.
The submission and modification of various documents, especially those documents that are invalid for copying and must be signed by the original writer and cannot be faxed, consume a lot of time.
The emergence of Federal Express (FedEX) has raised the standard of people's requirements for express delivery. Because this is the company that pioneered the ultra-fast next-day delivery norm for business documents.
With the advent of the Internet age, if an e-mail has not received an effective reply within 30 minutes, people will doubt whether they have delivered it to the wrong mailbox.
In a simple sentence: the human world is getting faster and faster for this.
I won’t go into too much detail on the two examples here, but it’s not difficult for those who are interested to find out, because some things appear, no matter whether they are intentional or unintentional.
They are all changing the world, changing the rules of the world and human society and living habits.
And this kind of technological breakthrough that is enough to change the world pattern is also known as the turning point of human society. There are many inflection points in human history, because the existence of these inflection points has led the human world into new bifurcated fields and shaped modern society.
Whether it was the making of paper, gunpowder, the discovery of the atom, or whatever.
As in the two examples mentioned above, FedEx suppressed the delivery speed of three to five days to one day. The emergence of the Internet has compressed this time to seconds.
Sending an email from the United States to China, after numerous transfer ports and long submarine optical fiber transmission, until it is finally received by this party, the time it takes at most is tens of seconds at most, and this is still because your network delay is very, very high case.
To sum up, while the technology in the human world is developing explosively, human beings have also begun to infinitely magnify the speed. This is true of any job.
Yasuda Eiji began to feel that he could not keep up with the rhythm of this era. Especially the company he works for now, the Osborne Group. The company itself is starting to push the inflection point in the human world.
The work here is no longer the way it was more than ten years ago, Yasuda is indeed a bit old. But he refused to give up his rights.
The Toyo Osborne Division not only controls the Osborne Group's business in Toyo, but actually controls the group's business in the entire Asian region. It is not an exaggeration for Chairman Yasuda to say that one person is under one person and above ten thousand people.
As the leader of the Toyo Branch, he is bound to be welcomed and warmly received wherever he goes. There is a place for him in every occasion. Even Toyo's prime minister needs to seek his advice when formulating economic policy.
Because as one of the largest capitalists in the country, some decisions of Eiji Yasuda are enough to cause shocks in the Eastern economy. It is precisely because of being endowed with such a powerful right that Eiji Yasuda is so fascinated by his current position. His strong desire has always stayed in this position.
That's why he took the risk of arranging a meeting between Mariko and Harry, because in his opinion Mariko's request was almost irresistible. Think of it, a gene that heals any wound quickly and is able to fight all kinds of diseases.
As long as the Osborne Group mastered this technology, the whole world would be crazy for Harry. However, the news from Mariko is not very good, and it seems that her persuasion has failed.
Chairman Yasuda, standing in front of the dressing mirror, tidied up his somewhat gray hair, maybe it should be dyed black, he thought so.
Now he needs to sort out his appearance, and then go to see Harry Osborn. He needed to tell young Harry how precious the opportunity Mariko had offered him was.
"Excuse me, Chairman. Mr. Harry wants to invite you over." Just as Chairman Yasuda was finishing dressing in his office, he was about to go look for Harry. His private secretary informed him of the news.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said. "knew."
In Harry's office, Harry plays with the Newton's swing ball on the desk. Peter followed several fellow technical officers to the research room of the East Branch, and Li Jie was the only one accompanying Harry in the office.
"It seems that the Dongyang branch has been very lively recently." Li Jie held a tablet computer in his hand and swiped at the screen.
"What did you find again? My secretary team has just started to check the accounts of the Dongyang branch, and nothing has been found yet." Harry fiddled with Newton and replied to Li Jie.
"Well, sometimes there will be less information obtained in a legitimate relationship. At this time, we need some special channels." Li Jie raised the tablet computer in his hand.
Regarding the news of a Wolverine-like child, Li Jie has passed the channel to the Innocence Society, asking them to find Logan who is still here in Dongyang and inform him of the news.
On the other hand, through Matt Murdock (Daredevil), let Innocence find some clues about the Osborne Group's East Ocean Division.
And some of the news that Matt got was transmitted to Li Jie's tablet computer in a special encrypted way through Zeng Chu who was far away in the United States.
"Well, many, many. There may be problems in the weapons department and the biological research department. It seems that they took advantage of Mr. Norman's death and you just took the opportunity to do a lot of things." Li Jie has not read the documents in his hand It's over, so I didn't give Harry a complete answer.
But just the news was enough for Harry to frown.
"Chairman Yasuda has arrived." While the two were talking, Eiji Yasuda had arrived at Harry's office.
"Mr. Harry, what are your orders." This man always looked respectful in front of others, and no one could find any faults in his etiquette.
However, it is not good to comment on it behind the scenes.
Harry glanced at Li Jie, motioning for him to speak first. Li Jie understood what Harry meant, so he put down the tablet and said. "Hello Chairman Yasuda, I am Jason Lee, Mr. Harry's personal advisor."
Li Jie stepped forward to shake hands with Chairman Yasuda and said. "During our trip to Kyoto last time, it seemed that the meeting with Ms. Yashida Mariko was not in our plan."
Chairman Yasuda sized Li Jie up and said in a tone that was not arrogant but very official. "It was a very meaningful meeting. Because Mr. Harry rejected all the meeting invitations from the Yashida Foundation, he was forced to use a bad strategy. I would like to apologize to Mr. Harry."
"Some Yue Zuo replaced Mr. Yasuda." Li Jie didn't show his face to Yasuda Eiji too much. "Whom Mr. Harry wants to meet with should be decided by Mr. Harry itself, not his subordinates."
Harry sat behind the executive desk, watching the confrontation between the two expressionlessly, but smiled slightly in his heart.
"That's why I said it was an impolite bad move." Chairman Yasuda bowed to Harry. "And I did it out of public interest."
"Miss Mariko has enough bargaining chips for the Osborne Group to treat her as a guest of honor. I don't understand at all, we have to refuse to accept her. The cooperation with the Yashida Foundation is beneficial and harmless."
"The Yashida Foundation has nothing to do with Dongyang's underworld background." Li Jie emphasized this point, which was not mentioned in Yashida Foundation's report submitted by Yasuda to Harry.
"The country of Toyo has its own special nature. In this country, big businessmen, especially local businessmen, cannot avoid the underworld problem if they don't have a certain background." Chairman Yasuda said tit for tat.
"The former Mr. Norman was also very clear about this kind of problem."
"So you want to remind us in this way?" Li Jie laughed a little.
"It's not malicious. I don't understand why, as Mr. Harry's senior personal advisor, you, Mr. Li, have repeatedly intervened in the actual operation of the company and excessively interfered with Mr. Harry." Chairman Yasuda said very bitterly Such a passage.
"You're just a personal consultant, and you're under eighteen and haven't graduated high school. I've probably been through more financial crises on business matters than you can read in books. And why do you keep blocking experience The right decision for the rich businessman!"
