Chapter 881 Other Agenda
Li Ye got up very early the next morning because he had to meet up with Lu Zhizhang and others, but when he came out of the room, he found that breakfast was already on the table.
This is the benefit of having a mother.
The mother of the flower-growing family, no matter whether her child is three months old or thirty years old, will always worry about whether he has eaten at mealtime. If the child does not eat, she will nag and ask endlessly.
"Why don't you eat? What's wrong with you? The girl next door ignores you, so why don't we just ignore her? It's not a big deal! Eat for me right away!"
Especially when the child grows up and they don't eat together for a long time, the mother of the flower-growing family regards eating together as a kind of enjoyment, an enjoyment that no amount of money can buy.
For example, now, Fu Guiru has already prepared the meal, but she did not eat it herself, but quietly read the newspaper beside her.
Li Ye took a look and found that Fu Guiru was reading a Japanese newspaper.
So he asked, "Mom, can you still understand Japanese?"
Fu Guiru said calmly, "Just learn it now! If you don't understand something, just look it up in the dictionary. It's not difficult."
"."
Li Ye couldn't help but twist his mouth.
In terms of business talent, Fu Guiru may not be the best, but her perseverance and tenacity have to make Li Ye admire her.
At least Li Ye knew that Fu Guiru could speak English, and she spoke very well. For a female militia who had never been exposed to English before the age of 30, the difficulty can be imagined.
And it is this perseverance and tenacity that gave Fu Guiru the ability to control a large enterprise.
Think about those entrepreneurs who came from rough families in later generations. Which one is not a mentally tough person?
Fu Guiru pointed to an article in the newspaper and said, "The Japanese are very arrogant now. They don't believe the conclusions of authoritative economists in Lighthouse and don't admit that the Japanese economy will collapse before Lighthouse. How does this argument coincide with your prediction?"
In the first half of 1987, many economists in Lighthouse actually noticed the financial crisis, but they believed that the collapse would definitely start with Japan. If a friend dies, then Lighthouse might be able to get a share of the pie.
But when Black Monday really came, Lighthouse plummeted by more than 20% in one day, and then brought down several other financial centers in the world, including Tokyo.
Li Ye glanced at the newspaper and could only explain to Fu Guiru, "That might be a coincidence!"
Fu Guiru pondered for a moment, then asked, "If what you said, the collapse of the Lighthouse stock market will affect other financial centers, then Hong Kong Island..."
Li Ye shook his head and said, "Forget about Hong Kong Island. If we short, we will definitely be scolded, and if we go long, no one will remember our friendship!"
Fu Guiru nodded slowly and agreed with Li Ye's suggestion. After all, it was 1987, not 1997.
But what she didn't know was that Hong Kong Island pulled the plug during the financial crisis in 1987, which greatly damaged its international reputation.
That's why Li Ye didn't go to Hong Kong Island to get involved!
"Eat, eat, and then get out of here and do your thing."
Fu Guiru threw down the newspaper and invited Li Ye to the table to eat together. The mother and daughter didn't say a few words during the whole meal, but they ate the amount of food that four or five ordinary people eat, and it was obvious that they had a good appetite.
After the meal, Fu Guiru sent Li Ye to meet up with Lu Zhizhang and others. Although Mitsubishi's headquarters was also in the port area, the project that Li Ye and others were inspecting this time was not here, and it was quite far away.
When Fu Guiru found the place according to the address, she couldn't help asking, "Are you sure it's this hotel?"
Li Ye said, "Looking at the address and name, it should be correct."
Fu Guiru couldn't help but sneer, "Japanese stupid people are stingy. They have the nerve to use this kind of hotel to entertain guests."
Li Ye glanced at the old hotel in front of him, nodded in agreement and said, "It's really stingy, but they have the confidence to be stingy."
"."
If it is forty years later, Mitsubishi Motors has been seriously disenchanted in the eyes of Chinese people and is about to be driven out of the mainland market.
But at this time in the 1980s, more than 90% of mainlanders who are car people can't think of "catching up and surpassing".
It's too advanced, and you can't catch up.
People give you some backward technology, and it's like picking up a treasure.
Li Ye got out of the car, walked over and pushed the door into the lobby of the hotel, and found that the members of the inspection team had basically come down.
Li Ye looked at the watch and found that there were at least twenty minutes left before the agreed time!
But before Li Ye spoke, someone asked Li Ye first.
Secretary Zhong asked, "Deputy Director Li, how many friends did you visit last night? Why did you change another car?"
Li Ye was quite surprised, because Lao Song and Fu Guiru were both riding in the latest S-Class Mercedes-Benz. How did Secretary Zhong tell that they were not the same car?
Li Ye asked in surprise, "You can tell that?"
Secretary Zhong said disdainfully, "The license plates are different! Can't we tell?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Oh, I really didn't pay attention to the license plate."
Secretary Zhong also smiled, and then whispered, "Deputy Director Li, several of our leaders studied it last night and thought that if we always follow Mitsubishi's arrangements for inspection, we will be too restricted by others.
So we can't always wait for others to pick us up. We have to walk around and see more. You can discuss with your friends and borrow a few cars for temporary use. At most, we will bear the fuel costs!"
Vonima is so shameless, he asked to borrow a few cars right away. We are not from the same mountain, okay?
Li Ye had met such a person in his previous life. They were obviously two factions that were trying to sabotage each other, but he would naturally feel that he was very familiar with each other and put forward some requests without a sense of boundaries.
If you refuse, he will ridicule you for being stingy and having no vision.
I'll screw your vision.
Li Ye said perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll ask my friends later to see if their cars are available."
But Secretary Zhong said: "Why don't you ask now! While the Mitsubishi car hasn't arrived yet, don't you have a mobile phone? Your friends should also have mobile phones, right?"
[You are really smart. ]
Li Ye smiled faintly and said: "It's better not to ask! Without such a deep friendship, it will only make people feel annoying."
"."
Secretary Zhong's smile froze on his face, and there was a clear flash of anger in his eyes.
In his opinion, Li Ye was a section-level cadre of a subordinate unit, and he actually mocked that he "did not have a deep friendship" with him. Didn't he know that offending people in this circle was a taboo?
At this time, Gu Lao said coldly: "Okay, Xiao Zhong, it's better to ask yourself than to ask others. If it's inconvenient for others, forget it."
Li Ye looked up at the other party, and ignored the other party's cold eyes, but found a place to sit down and wait.
A few minutes later, Liu Muhan came over and whispered to Li Ye: "Last night, he asked us to arrange a car for him alone, saying that he was going to visit friends and get information for us."
"Oh~"
Li Ye immediately understood that the other party asked him to borrow several cars, including his own car, which was a good idea.
Twenty minutes later, Mitsubishi came to pick up Li Ye and others, still the two vans from yesterday.
Coincidentally, Gu Jianqi, Secretary Zhong and Li Ye were assigned to the same car.
After getting on the car, Li Ye was assigned to the last row of seats, and the first few more comfortable seats were given to Gu Lao and others.
Then Li Ye saw Gu Jianqi and Secretary Zhong took out two familiar newspapers.
Li Ye was a little surprised.
[Why are they reading financial newspapers? ]
And when Secretary Zhong looked up the dictionary with a frown, Li Ye was even more surprised.
He suddenly had an idea and said to Liu Muhan: "Chief Liu, can you help Secretary Zhong translate the newspaper? Anyway, it's boring on the road, let's listen to what is in the Japanese newspapers and broaden our horizons."
But as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, Secretary Zhong quickly refused and said: "No, no, we just take a look."
But what is the relationship between Liu Muhan and Li Ye? He immediately leaned over, took a few glances and translated: "This is a newspaper introducing the Japanese stock market. It says that the prospects of the Japanese stock market are very good, and it is impossible for the Japanese stock market to fall before the Lighthouse Stock Market."
Li Ye carefully observed Secretary Zhong and Gu Lao and found that their ears were erected.
[Even Liu Muhan knows that the mantis arm is trying to stop the chariot, how could you not know? Do you have other intentions in coming to Japan? ]
