Age of Dreams

Most Japanese businessmen are very old-fashioned, but there are also many elites who are very good at timing.

Otherwise, they will not be able to sell Japanese products to the world. In the past two to three decades, they have almost become the best country in the world to do business.

Before the 11th, Xiao Qi received a call from an acquaintance that night.

"Kid Shao, this is Naito, can I meet with you now?"

Naito on the phone is naturally Akanobu Naito, general manager of ITOCHU's US branch.

Last year was the shares he strongly bought. In the past few months, he has been holding on, and has always felt that he, who has a promising future, is under the greatest pressure.

Unexpectedly, today, he can't hold it anymore.

However, this change of ITOCHU Corporation is also what Xiao Qi likes to see.

Of course Xiao Qi would like to see the losses and failures of the Japanese.

Again, there can be only one victor in China and Japan, and it is absolutely impossible to advance side by side in victory.

If you want to develop yourself, stepping on the shoulders of Japan is definitely the only choice.

While thinking about it, Xiao Qi groaned: "I am in the Hamptons of New York now. Will it be too long for you to come here?"

New York, the center of the United States, has always been the headquarters of foreign companies, and the same is true for ITOCHU Corporation, but Xiao Qi remembers that Naito Akashin spends most of his time in Silicon Valley.

"I'm at the intersection of the Hamptons area now." Naito Akinobu humblely said: "If you can receive an interview, Naito would be very grateful."

"Come here, where are you? I will ask someone familiar with the road to pick you up." Xiao Qi smiled.

"Thank you Qi Shao!"

Naito Akinobu immediately said his location. After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qi asked a female bodyguard to ask that he was only a 10-minute drive away.

Saw female bodyguards going out to pick up people. Little Taylor, who was originally haunting Xiao Qi and was listening to Xiao Qi telling the love story of the gods and ghosts of China, was so angry that he smashed a pillow on Xiao Qi's head.

"Bad husband! After my daughter is born, she and I will ignore you~~" The pure and pure little fox stood on the soft sofa, staring down at Xiao Qi.

There was a faint floral fragrance on her body, and she added a breath of expectant mother.

There was a little more flesh on his thin face. It seems that there is more mature charm in the beauty and purity.

At this time, her words were extremely childish again.

Such a variety of contrasts integrated in her body, making Taylor exude an extremely attractive temperament.

"Okay, okay, baby, I was wrong, let's ignore him, can't it?"

Xiao Qi smiled and stepped forward, but Taylor stepped on his shoulder and stepped him onto the sofa to lie down.

The little queen didn't wait for Xiao Qi to get up. Just another foot directly pressed on his chest, once again with absolute advantage, looking down at him condescendingly: "Idiot, do you know it's wrong?"

"I was wrong." Xiao Qi admitted his mistake with a particularly sincere attitude.

"Can't admit defeat so early!" Tyler said dissatisfiedly: "You have to be strong first, and then be conquered by my strong aura, and voluntarily surrender to... Lol~ hate~~"

It turned out that Xiao Qi couldn't help reaching out when she was arrogant. Gently scratched her jade foot, which was originally one of the sensitive areas of people. Tyler couldn't help laughing immediately.

Lift your foot and step on it, step on it and lift your foot...

After repeating this a few times, Taylor changed from a smile to a disappointed expression, "Go! Let's talk about your business! The current man, I really don't know how to love women! I have decided. I will next time. I wrote a song specifically to scold you for a man like you!"

Xiao Qi's scalp was numb when he heard it. This girl is not the first time to write a song to curse herself. The original "Liar" single has now sold 5 million copies. Fortunately, others don't know that the person being scolded is Xiao. odd. Otherwise he will be laughed to death.

But Taylor's character doesn't change his mind just because you beg for mercy, so Xiao Qi can only wait for two days to find an opportunity, and then coax this Xiaojiao wife well to let her dispel such thoughts.

When the fun here was over, when Xiao Qi went to the small meeting room, he saw the well-dressed Naito Akinobu sitting at the table with a cup of steaming coffee smoking.

After he saw Xiao Qi, he immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Qiao Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are becoming more energetic!"

"Mr. Naito is absurd." Xiao Qi shook hands with him and sat down. "At such a busy time today, instead of meeting overnight, you came to my house. It really surprised me."

Naito Akinobu understood what Xiao Qi was talking about.

From the afternoon until now, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, etc. have been in meetings, and the atmosphere on Wall Street is extremely tense.

The same is true for other oil-related companies, such as bp, Shell... and so on. Especially for Japan, which is the largest importer of oil, the atmosphere is even more solemn.

With Ruby Nader's speech, their losses are doomed, but how much they will lose and how to make up for the losses have become their most concerned issue now.

According to Xiao Qi's intelligence, dozens of Japanese clubs not only hold meetings and discuss themselves, they also conduct video connections from time to time, hoping that everyone can face this grim fact together.

Naito Akinobu was not taboo, and said directly: "This time it was a bit too sudden, and we did not expect the contradictions in the United States to be so sharp. According to the current situation, I am afraid that the winter of the oil industry is about to begin, everyone. It’s not easy to live in!... Oh, I’m wrong. Your country sold a lot of oil in the past few months. It can be described as a brilliant operation!"

"It's the same in South Korea." Xiao Qi calmly added a role to share the attention, and then asked curiously: "Mr. Naito, you are here today, aren't you talking about oil with me?"

"No." Naito Akinobu sighed and said regretfully: "I am entrusted by the board of directors of our ITOCHU Corporation. I want to talk to you about the sale of shares."

"The shares you want to sell?" Xiao Qi was surprised, "What's the matter?"

Naito Akinobu knew that Xiao Qi was pretending to be confused, but he had to continue to say: "This is the case, because we are about to suffer significant losses in the oil industry, so our board of directors wants to sell some high-quality assets to increase Cash reserves, so as to cope with the coming crisis. And the shares in our hands are one of the first assets sold."

Xiao Qi nodded, and said sympathetically: "I understand! But what's the use of you here to tell me this? Hurry up and find a buyer, do you want me to help you find a buyer?"

Naito Akashin finally couldn't help it, and said with a wry smile: "Odd, don't make a joke. Citibank, Green Pine Capital, Blackstone Group, haven't you contacted them all?"

Xiao Qi suddenly realized: "Ah, you really want me to buy it! But neither I nor them negotiated. You have joined in again. How should I choose? This is a troublesome thing. what!"

Naito Akashin could only take a sip from the coffee cup to calm his helpless mood.

This Xiao Qi is too difficult to deal with!

Obviously before, he saw that the subprime mortgage crisis was about to spread, so that Tang Mingxiang sold them all. This set of high-profitability skills is really incredible.

Now that the market value he is looking at has been cut in half, Xiao Qi is ready to buy it back again. This ability to sell high and buy low is beyond ordinary people's reach!

But Naito Akinobu is not a fool. Why does he insist on the shares held by ITOCHU Corporation, even if it loses tens of millions every month, he still persists?

Isn't he also optimistic about the future?

In the future, the economy will definitely develop towards the Internet. Those cheap foods, daily necessities, etc. that can be bought in groups will definitely be more popular than offline supermarkets, and even without borders, it will definitely develop like a broken bamboo!

But the bad luck is that it has encountered a subprime mortgage crisis that is rare in decades, and it seems that the subprime mortgage crisis can easily evolve into a more serious financial crisis, and it may not improve in three to five years.

In this case, one or two years later, it may be the first to recover and enter a strong development ~www.readwn.com~ But the problem is that ITOCHU can't turn around so quickly!

ITOCHU Corporation is now destined to lose billions of dollars in oil projects, or even more than tens of billions of dollars, and this loss must be filled with real money, otherwise the entire ITOCHU Corporation may be paralyzed. Fall apart.

It just so happened that ITOCHU Corporation also received information that Xiao Qi was carrying out repurchase work with several major companies, which made ITOCHU's people concerned.

In particular, the recent continuous losses, a loss of 20 to 30 million US dollars a month, has long been dissenting within ITOCHU Corporation, but because the Naito family is one of ITOCHU Corporation’s three most powerful shareholders, it has been supported. live.

Now that there is such an opportunity, people from the other two families immediately came out to speak, suggesting that, taking advantage of the acquisition by Xiao Qi now, they should be sold immediately, so that not only can a steady stream of losses be avoided, but also a large amount of money can be returned!

In anticipation of the huge loss of oil, even the head of the Naito family can only finally agree to this resolution.

As a result, Naito Akinobu came to visit! (To be continued...)
