Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 495 507 [Coercion]

Los Angeles, mansion on Sunset Boulevard——
For Hun Sen, as an old man, he believes in feng shui, so he doesn't like the words Sunset Avenue very much. He thinks these words are unlucky. reason?
But Americans, to be precise, many wealthy Americans like to live here, especially those living near Beverly Hills.

Hun Sen couldn't figure it out, aren't these ghosts afraid of the influence of Feng Shui?
In the end, because his son John Hong ran for the city council in Los Angeles, and as a businessman, the Hong family had to move here as well—there are so many celebrities, and you can meet them whenever you go out, which can be regarded as helping your family's business A lot of free publicity.

Therefore, since moving to live here, the Hong family's business has become more and more prosperous. In the end, Mr. Hong couldn't figure out whether the feng shui of this sunset is good or bad?
As far as Song Zhichao is concerned, he really likes this place, especially the two rows of tall palm trees on the avenue, which look very proud, just like the faces of those Hollywood stars.

Under the guidance of Hong Ying, Song Zhichao came to the "villa" where the Hong family is located --- Hong Mansion.

Although this villa is called "Hong Mansion", the shape of the whole villa is a typical western design, especially there are many Hollywood stars living around, so the design style is similar to the villas where many stars live, with a large garden, a large swimming pool, and a large balcony ...In short, everything needs to be big.

Song Zhichao got out of the car and walked to the door. A maid in Tang suit helped to open the door.

As Song Zhichao's bodyguards, Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong are very conscientious. Seeing that Song Zhichao is going in, they want to follow him.

Song Zhichao asked them to wait outside, then glanced at Hong Ying, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "This is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair."

……

walk into---
In the huge garden, Lord Hong was doing Taijiquan, with a good appearance, beside the pine tree that looked like a Christmas tree, there was a birdcage, and a beautiful thrush chirped inside.

Seeing Song Zhichao coming in, Master Hong signaled, and next to him, the white-clothed servant guarding the tea and towels stepped forward and handed over the snow-white towels.

While wiping his hands, Lord Hong said to Song Zhichao, "Sit."

Song Zhichao took a look, and there was an Eight Immortals table supported by stones next to it, and a round pier made of stone rollers.

Song Zhichao sat down.

Drinks, refreshments and the like are placed on the stone table, which is very delicate.

Master Hong wiped his hands, passed the towel to the people around him, then sat down opposite Song Zhichao, took out liquor, poured two glasses and handed it to Song Zhichao, saying: "It's quite difficult to invite you to come here, I've been waiting for more than half an hour .” Then he glanced sideways at Hong Ying.

Hong Ying was ashamed.

Song Zhichao picked up the wine glass: "Don't blame him, I deliberately wanted to grind him down." He drank the wine in one gulp.

Hun Sen smiled, "Ah Ying has a bad temper. I offended you last time, so you should temper him." He also picked up his glass and drank it down.

As an old Jianghu, Lord Hong only likes to drink alcohol, not tea.

Song Zhichao picked up the jug, poured a glass for Lord Hong first, and poured another glass for himself: "Xifeng wine?"

Master Hong nodded, "Know how to taste wine, not bad."

"Master Hong, you didn't just invite me here for wine tasting, did you?" Song Zhichao put down the jug and asked with a smile.

Hun Sen: "I invited you here to help you." Looking at Song Zhichao, he looked like an elder caring about the younger generation.

"help me?"

"Yeah, you know what's going on right now—Sony is a big conglomerate in Japan. How do you fight with them if they want to lower the price of their products?" Hun Sen said slowly, "Could it be that you are also lowering prices? I heard you My VCD was originally going to sell for 2000 US dollars, what’s going on, it’s going to drop to 1800?”

Song Zhichao didn't speak, picked up the wine and tasted it.

Hun Sen stared at him, "Since you are in business, you should know that commodities are very evil, especially for new products like yours, it is very unlucky to cut prices before they are launched-- besides, you cut prices Yes, it will be difficult to restore the original price by then!"

Song Zhichao squinted his eyes, smiled, and asked Hong Sen: "Then how are you going to help me?"

Hun Sen laughed: "Those little devils cut prices, they are nothing more than a promotion - what is a promotion? It is to attract popularity, who are we? Chinese! What are the most Chinese? Of course they are Chinese!"

"This is Los Angeles, and the Chinese in Los Angeles are very loyal and united! As long as you say a word, then I can use my status as a Hongmen boss and the chairman of the chamber of commerce to help you raise your popularity——I Let all the Chinese in Los Angeles support you, to be precise, when your product is on the shelves, all patronize you, and let those Yankees know that your VCD is this!" Hun Sen gave a thumbs up, with a proud face.

Song Zhichao smiled: "What's the condition? I know Master Hong, you are a man of loyalty, you wouldn't just help me, would you?"

"Hahaha!" Hun Sen laughed, "If you are smart, I like to talk to smart people like you."

"Well, last time I was a little greedy and wanted to win all your agency rights in the United States. This time, I will take a step back—there are more than fifty states in the United States, and I only need to get half of them. Everything is yours, how about it? We work together, and I guarantee that your business in the United States will go smoothly!"

In Hun Sen's view, Song Zhichao has no choice now. He has no foundation in the United States. If he wants to fight Sony, he will only lose miserably in the end.The only way to save me is to hold on to my own hand.

At this moment, Hong Sen was sipping the wine, staring at Song Zhichao with a smile on his face, looking like I'm sure of you, waiting for his reply.

Song Zhichao said, "I'm sorry, Lord Hong, but I can't accept your terms."

Hun Sen: "..." Somewhat stunned, he said with a smile, "Young man, don't be shy, it's okay to be soft sometimes--Could it be that you really want to fight against Sony and also engage in price reductions?"

"Who said I want to lower the price?" Song Zhichao asked with a smile.

Hun Sen: "..."

"On the contrary, not only will I not lower the price, but from today onwards, I will increase the price of the products that I don't have on the shelves - from US$2000 to US$3000!" Song Zhichao looked arrogant.

Hun Sen: "..."

I don't understand, is this kid crazy?
The product not only does not cut the price, but also raises the price --- and raises the price to 3000 US dollars?

Are you crazy about Sony, or are you crazy about making money?
Song Zhichao didn't explain why he did this, but got up directly, and said to Hong Sen very politely: "Master Hong, thank you for your kindness, and thank you for your drink—but I don't like being blackmailed very much. , if you are really willing to cooperate with me, maybe we can talk about it after my product is on the shelves—well, I have finished what I have to say, goodbye!"

Hun Sen: "..."

Unexpectedly, Song Zhichao had such a personality, so he left after speaking.

Hong Ying, who was standing aside, wanted to stop Song Zhichao, but was stopped by Hong Sen's eyes. Looking at Song Zhichao's back, Master Hong said, "Well, I'll wait for you——if you can really pass this test, Then you can say whatever you want in the future! I, Hun Sen, keep my word!"

Song Zhichao smiled and continued on without looking back.
