Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era
Chapter 358: Dr. Rumi
Chapter 358 Rumi's Doctor
Tao Zhiming knew that Hector was showing off his strength and pomp with a long limousine. In any case, although Tao Zhiming was a buyer, in the eyes of the second and even the third richest generation in the United States, Tao Zhiming was only a newcomer after all. .
The interior of the carriage was custom-made. Tao Zhiming and Hector sat in the wide seats in the back row. Hona Jiang Yangshui and Ogata Toshio had their backs against the front cab, while Maehara Kumina was next to him. A female translator who can speak Neon.
The blonde hair is fluffy and the features are delicate. Seeing Tao Zhiming paying attention to her, Hector winked at him: "Mr. Tao, I heard from Tao, are you going to buy a private jet from Gulfstream this time?"
The two communicated in English, Tao Zhiming nodded and said, "Yes, does Mr. Hector have any suggestions?"
"I'm not very interested in private jets. Compared to yachts, private jets are still too small. I like something with a little more space."
Tao Zhiming looked at the car with a smile and said: "Indeed, this car has a lot of space. If it weren't for the relatively narrow streets of neon, parking would be difficult, but you can buy one. By the way, I saw in the newspaper that there was an earthquake yesterday, isn't it serious?"
"It's level 6. I heard that a few people died, but it's generally fine." Hector didn't care, "Mr. Tao lives in Neon, and is very concerned about earthquakes."
"Yeah. But I don't know if there will be aftershocks. I'll just finish the work here today and experience the private jet provided by Gulfstream and go directly to New York."
Hector was stunned for a moment: "I also invited a lot of friends at night, how could Mr. Tao not let me welcome you?"
"This trip is in a hurry, don't you have to go to Idali later? Just meet with the fashion media friends you helped me with at noon."
Tao Zhiming didn't come out to play, and if the trip was in a hurry, it would not make much sense to know too many people. In a hurry, it is better to concentrate on work.
What he hopes to deepen his impression is the accounting firm known as KPMG after the merger just this year.
Since the United States, the leader who initiated the "Star Wars", came to power, many policies of the United States have begun to loosen. One of the manifestations is the increasing power of finance. Investment and mergers and acquisitions are one of the best means under the leadership of capital, and now the wave of mergers and acquisitions in the United States is gradually flourishing.
Tao Zhiming worked in the United States in the future, at least in the first ten years, he could use the services of KPMG.
When I arrived at Hector's group company, I looked up and there were nearly 20 floors, with the name of his family's company hanging on the top, reminding Tao Zhiming of another top class who likes to name buildings after himself.
It seems that guy is already quite famous now.
Entering the elevator, Tao Zhiming said again: "The petrochemical industry has been greatly affected by the oil crisis, right?"
Hector is a little embarrassed, which is why he wants to get rid of the family business foundation laid by his father.
"Yeah, the cost is getting higher and higher now."
"But your corporate tax has been reduced quite a bit."
Hector shook his head: "Where is that enough? I'm thinking about how to transform."
Tao Zhiming recalled his previous thoughts and asked with a smile: "I hope to transform, and still be able to spend so much money for financial investment?"
"That's also an attempt at transformation." Hector let out a haha, and then said seriously, "If you really have such a strong financial investment ability, you should go to New York. How about it? How about we set up a New York City together? fund company?"
"I haven't considered it yet." Tao Zhiming shook his head calmly.
"... Tao said, you want to build a yacht home port in Tokyo." Hector felt that it would be a pity to not focus on this direction if he was relying on finance to make money. "Are you really so optimistic about the yacht industry?"
"You won't regret it, right?" Tao Zhiming didn't want to talk too much about other topics, so he made fun of his question.
"How could that be?" Hector thought to himself that without having to worry about the loan debt, the 50 million yuan was simply beyond his expectations, where would he regret it.
On his president's floor, Tao Zhiming met Barron Berger, a senior account manager from KPMG.
"Mr. Tao, I've been looking forward to meeting you officially." Barron Berger was very enthusiastic, and then introduced a girl next to him, "Alyssa Mason, she and Mr. Zhao have always been in contact before."
Tao Zhiming nodded, shook hands with the petite girl, and said with a smile, "It was a lot of work to help us handle a lot of business back then."
"It's my honor and I'm happy to serve you." Alyssa then chatted skillfully with Mina Maehara again, and the two who had only been on the phone before matched their numbers.
Barron raised the spirit. Although the other party contacted them at first and asked them to help register a company called BRAVOPEACH, but at that time, Alyssa said that the structure required by the other party was very professional, and I am afraid it was a very powerful company.
This time it came true, and it was a merger with a price of 50 million yuan, and it is said that there are other businesses this time.
Barron was looking forward to it, so he took the initiative to say: "We have finished the financial audit of RIVA yachts. Mr. Tao, here are the details of RIVA."
Tao Zhiming nodded, sat there and opened the thick booklet, saw the English version on the left page and the corresponding neon version on the right page, he smiled and said, "Mr. Barron is careful."
"This is what we should do." Barron smiled professionally and added, "We KPMG serve global clients and attach great importance to their needs."
Tao Zhiming looked seriously.
RIVA's yacht factories are all located in Idali, while there is only one office in the United States, which is responsible for sales and promotion in the American market.
KPMG also detailed the team composition of the current US office, the resume and salary of each person in the information.
The core team consists of four people, and Tao Zhiming also saw a person from Xia Guoping named Xu Guoping. Looking at his resume, he is now 33 years old and graduated with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Stanford in 1983. Before, he came to study abroad from China in 1980, and it seemed that he stayed outside and did not go back.
He is the manager of the after-sales department in the Mizhou office of RIVA, and has a PhD in mechanical engineering. Maybe he first came to the chemical group of the Hector family, but was finally sent to the yacht department to take care of after-sales maintenance?
Although is a small leader, it is a bit outrageous.
Tao Zhiming didn't know this person yet, and he didn't have too many thoughts in his heart.
He continued to look at RIVA's asset status, the personnel of the factory in Idali, the annual expenditure, and the total sales revenue, and then he said meaningfully: "Mr. Hector, for such a company, you actually offered me an offer at the beginning. 120 million yuan?"
Hector was very thick-skinned, he laughed and said: "I didn't know Mr. Tao very well at that time, and I wanted to see your strength. Besides, that was the price for me to bear all the debts. But you see, I just didn't have it. Interested in managing this company, its foundation and strength are still very strong.”
Tao Zhiming shook his head helplessly, and after reading all the information, he said: "Since it's agreed, I won't talk to you about the price again. If the difference is about 10 million yuan, I will leave it to a friend with you. So Say Mr. Hector, if there is something going on in the U.S., I won't be polite to you."
"Mr. Tao is so refreshing!" Hector was very happy, "As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
"Then sign the agreement of intent first, and start the formal procedures." Tao Zhiming looked at Barron, "Mr. Barron will have to work hard. In addition, we need to go to Yidali to carry out the factory work with us later. fact-finding investigation.”
"Please rest assured, Mr. Tao, that KPMG will complete this acquisition beautifully." Barron was only happy when he saw that he had decided to move forward with the acquisition. After all, if the project is successful, the final service remuneration is completely different.
Tao Zhiming looked at his watch and said, "RIVA's core staff in the United States are also here, right?"
"Of course, it was specially recalled, if you have anything to ask them about."
"Then I want to meet, there is still some time before the luncheon."
Changed a conference room, Tao Zhiming and Huona Jiangyangshui went there together.
Not long after, Hector walked in with four people. Their faces were all apprehensive, obviously they already knew the boss's decision, and they didn't know where their future would go. However, if the boss is changed, people in their position are most likely to be replaced. After all, others need to use their own people to control the company.
If you suddenly lose your job, the bill pressure will suddenly increase.
The only oriental face among the four was stunned for a moment when he saw Tao Zhiming and Huona Jiang Yangshui, then realized something and his expression was calm.
"This is the new owner of RIVA, Chairman Tao." Hector introduced and then said to them, "Tell Mr. Tao truthfully about the company's situation. This should also be an important interview, Tao. gentlemen?"
"more or less."
When Hector left the conference room, Tao Zhiming looked at the four people one by one. Seeing the inevitable apprehension and tension in their eyes, Tao Zhiming smiled and said, "Don't worry, the work will continue."
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief. The director of the Mizhou office was Daniel Riley, a white man in his 40s. He said, "Chairman, what do you need to know, I can answer."
"Let's start with personal circumstances, it's more important to understand the capabilities of the four of you."
Tao Zhiming has already begun to bury some clues on the side of the United States, but people are actually needed later. Although these four people failed to help Hector fully open up the U.S. market, they have at least some personal ability to take the leadership position now.
As if he knew the four of them, he chatted about their age, background, experience, and hobbies, making the atmosphere a little more relaxed.
Daniel Riley has always been doing sales. He has a lot of experience in the United States. He also sold insurance before joining Hector's group. Before he was transferred to the RIVA Mizhou office, he was a public salesperson of chemical products. backbone.
In addition, the person in charge of brand marketing is a person who came from an advertising company. It is said that he likes surfing, diving and other water-related sports very much, so he was dug up by Hector.
When it was Xu Guoping's turn, I just listened to his introduction: "I am in charge of the after-sales technology of Mizhou, and I am mainly responsible for solving the technical problems of yachts encountered by customers. In addition, I am also responsible for providing information to Yidali according to the needs of customers. The research and development and manufacturing departments of the company provide advice and participate in some research work.”
Tao Zhiming smiled and asked, "Are you an international student from Xia Guo? Have you got your green card now?"
"...It's a work visa now." After Xu Guoping said this, he added seriously, "Chairman, I don't think we should put too much effort into small yachts for middle-class families. Now we should focus on the design of luxury yachts, The performance and new technologies are catching up quickly, and high-end yachts are the source of profit.”
Tao Zhiming was noncommittal and looked at him deeply.
He only has a work visa, not a green card yet. For international students like him, if they want to apply for a green card in the United States, they need the help of the company to apply. If he gets a lot of layoffs, start all over again.
Therefore, he expresses his views here, and if he wants to make breakthroughs in the direction of luxury yachts, he will naturally invest in technology. In this case, he is a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Stanford, and the importance is greatly improved.
Tao Zhiming asked, "Are you married?"
Xu Guoping paused before saying, "I have a girlfriend."
"Where are you from?"
"New Jersey's."
Tao Zhiming continued to ask casually to understand his current situation. I found a local girl, unemployed, 10 years younger than him.
Xu Guoping, who is 33 years old, now earns less than 60,000 yuan a year. In fact, according to the standards of the United States, he has properly entered the threshold of the middle class. With his income, there is no pressure to raise a little girl.
Tao Zhiming didn't show too much importance to him, and then asked the last girl who was a sales manager. This woman is pretty and looks very enthusiastic and unrestrained. After a few chats, she said that everyone invited the new boss to have a meal in the evening.
"There are other arrangements today." Tao Zhiming calmly refused, and then said, "The acquisition of RIVA will take some time. Until then, everyone can continue their current work with peace of mind. Before the new president arrives, You must report to Yang Shui first."
I told Tao Yaren that he would be in charge of the management after RIVA’s acquisition. Tao Zhiming just took a look to see if there are any available people in RIVA’s current team.
Later, he found out that the person who could be used was actually himself, because the English of Jiangyangshui was so bad that he agreed with these people that how to communicate and communicate requires Tao Zhiming to translate.
"Well, Xu Guoping, as an alumnus of Stanford, you should be able to find suitable people through the alumni organization, right? You are responsible for finding a neon translator for the US office first, and you will be paid according to the market price."
Xu Guoping was overjoyed when he heard Tao Zhiming say this, and immediately said, "Okay!"
The other three couldn't help but look at him.
The company has changed, the boss is an oriental, and Xu Guoping from Xia seems to be the first to get attention.
