When Ji Feng arrived at the Xinyi Hotel, he saw a man sitting inside the hotel's front door through the window before he even parked the car. Ji Feng recognized this man; he was Kato's bodyguard.
Ji Feng couldn't help but sneer in his heart. When Kato heard that it was about the Tengfei Electric Appliances, he couldn't sit still any longer and sent his bodyguards to wait in the main hall.
Even a blind man could tell Kato's thirst for his electrical device!
With a sneer, Ji Feng parked the car in front of the hotel entrance. He didn't get off the car in a hurry, but took out his phone and dialed Kato's number again.
"Wait at the door, I'll send someone to pick you up!" Kato's voice came over the phone.
"Alright!" Ji Feng smiled faintly.
Then, he got out of the car and walked towards the hotel's entrance.
At this moment, Ji Feng saw the bodyguard from Kato sitting in the lobby of the hotel. He immediately stood up and walked out, and Ji Feng was even more certain that this person was Kato's bodyguard.
His p.r.o.nunciation was very awkward. It was obvious that he remembered Ji Feng's name, but he could not speak Mandarin.
It was a j.a.panese man.
"It's me!" Ji Feng nodded as he smiled.
"Please, it's me …" The bodyguard said awkwardly.
Ji Feng immediately understood what he meant. He was saying: "Please follow me."
After that, Ji Feng followed behind the bodyguard. They entered the elevator of the hotel and arrived at an outer room of a suite.
Ji Feng, however, understood and nodded his head. The bodyguard should have said 'wait a moment'. Ji Feng should have come into contact with such a simple phrase.
After that, the bodyguard entered the room while Ji Feng stood alone outside and looked around the room.
This suite was extremely ordinary. At first glance, it didn't seem like Kato was worthy of being the manager of the company's China district. However, it was understandable when you a.s.sociated it with the j.a.panese style of doing things.
Honestly speaking, if we put aside the grudges between the different races and look at them from a purely comparative perspective, there are many things that the j.a.panese need the Chinese to learn. For example, they do things very seriously. However, it was precisely this kind of stubbornness that allowed them to have the spirit to study hard and not give up until they reach their goal. This was something that was worthy for the Chinese to learn.
The more successful a j.a.panese was, the less extravagant they would be. Compared to the rich and powerful people in China, this was a clear contrast.
Especially the leaders of the state-owned enterprises, it was as if they wanted to waste the entire enterprise.
Ji Feng had once seen a piece of news. It was said that the president of a state-owned enterprise went to Macau, but in just a week, he had actually lost a year's worth of profits!
It was only after half a year that this matter was exposed to the public. A large number of leaders of state-owned enterprises had investigated this matter and found out that they had not made a fortune.
There was even an old boss who had a dozen lovers. Some of them had villas worth over a hundred million in foreign countries, so it was obvious how extravagant and wasteful those high masters were.
Compared to the simplicity of the j.a.panese, these people really made all the Chinese feel ashamed.
On the other hand, the more outstanding the j.a.panese were, the harder it was to deal with the enemy, which made Ji Feng even more vigilant.
The door to the inner room suddenly opened, and the sound pulled Ji Feng back from his thoughts. He turned his head and saw Kato walking out from the inner room.
However, at this moment, Kato did not have the kind of magnanimity he had back in Riverface Club. Instead, he seemed very imposing, and gave off a feeling of superiority.
"Yes, Mr. Kato, h.e.l.lo …" Ji Feng was all smiles as he enthusiastically shook hands with Kato, "Sorry to bother you!"
Kato stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ji Feng after a second or two. He indifferently said, "What business do you have with me?"
However, Ji Feng did not care about Kato's att.i.tude. He only smiled and said, "It's like this, Mr. Kato. I want to work with you in my own name."
"Oh? "Is that so?"
Kato did not deny it and asked again, "Then how do you want to cooperate with me?"
"Nonsense!"
As he spoke, Kato suddenly flung Ji Feng's hand away. However, he did not notice that because of his sudden increase in movement, Ji Feng had easily distanced himself from him. In the process, Ji Feng had already set the bug on Kato.
Even Ji Feng had not antic.i.p.ated that things would go so smoothly. All of this was thanks to the cooperation of Kato.
"I do wish to cooperate with Tengfei Electric Appliances, but I want to use a formal way to sign a cooperation agreement with Tengfei Electric Appliances, instead of using such a despicable method. This is not something a proper businessman should do!" Kato lowered his voice.
"Mr. Kato!"
Seeing that Kato had rejected him, Ji Feng instantly became anxious. His voice became a lot louder as he said anxiously, "Even if we're talking about cooperation, isn't it very useful to know more about the other party's situation? There is an ancient saying in China, 'know yourself, know your enemy, and you will be invincible!' I can provide Mr. Kato with information on his Tengfei electrical appliances, especially our general manager Li Xin's thoughts and plans. That way, I believe that Mr. Kato can also take the initiative during the negotiations, right? "
"Enough!"
Swis.h.!.+
Ji Feng stood up and shouted, "Mr. Kato, are you threatening me? In that case, I don't think there is a need for our negotiations! Goodbye! "
After speaking, Ji Feng prepared to leave.
"Hehe …"
Kato suddenly started laughing and pressing his hands down, "Young man, don't be so impulsive. We still need to discuss this matter. Sit down!"
"That depends on how we talk!" Kato said, "You probably don't know it yet, but there are surveillance videos in this hotel's suite, and I've already told my people to turn on the recording. The videos you said and the ones you came here before have a complete record of it, if I give all of them to your general manager …"
"Kato!" "You are too despicable!" Ji Feng raged.
"Despicable? No! In business, there is no such thing as despicable or n.o.ble. There is only success and failure! " There was no hint of embarra.s.sment on Kato's face, as if he was doing something natural, "Of course, you Chinese won't understand, so whether it is economics or technology, you Chinese are far behind us, j.a.pan."
"You …" Ji Feng was so angry that he couldn't even say a word as he pointed at Kato.
Ji Feng's expression kept changing, but in his heart, he was both angry and amused. This Kato was really not as simple as he looked on the surface. It seemed like he was determined to get Tengfei Electric Appliances and would not let go of any small opportunities.
Now, from the looks of it, Kato had treated his arrival as an opportunity. What he wanted was not just a simple cooperation.
Only, what was laughable was that even until now, Kato hadn't figured out his name yet and thought that Kato could eat him up. This was also the obvious weakness of an arrogant j.a.panese man!
"Come in and talk to me!" Kato acted as if he didn't see the expression on Ji Feng's face. After saying that, he turned and walked into the inner room.
The moment he turned around, the corner of Ji Feng's mouth twitched a few times and he almost broke into laughter. However, when Ji Feng caught sight of the bodyguard of Kato sitting beside him, his face immediately tensed up and he suppressed his laughter.
I'll play with you slowly and see what tricks you can pull!
He wanted to seize Ji Feng, but Ji Feng's heart was also moved. He also thought that this was a rare opportunity, and he also wanted to seize it. Now, let's see which one of them is smarter, and who will truly be the last one to laugh!
