Rebirth: My 80s

late at night.

Miduko is located in a large sky-high tower in Ginza.

The girl seemed to be on drugs, jumping around the room in excitement.

Fugui thought he didn't see it, so he took a pillow and went into the tea room.

There are tatami mats in the tea room.

He couldn't stretch his legs on the bed in any of the bedrooms here.

"Akio Morita was almost omnipotent in the Japanese business community, and I have never heard of him suffering a loss in any negotiation.

“Haha, his expression at the end was like he had eaten shit.

"Yes, Master, if you threaten to short Sony like this, can't he prevent it?"

Li Jiankun lay on the sofa in the living room, drinking scented tea to help him sleep.

Miduko came over, knelt on the carpet, put her upper body on his legs, raised her head, and looked at him with her big, shining eyes.

Li Jiankun’s first feeling was that it had grown bigger.

I remember that Miduko once poured out a lot of grievances to him.

It’s really... those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from floods will die of floods.

"Small shareholder thinking."

Li Jiankun rubbed her little head and said, "People who can be called 'short sellers' generally don't mind letting others know if they want to short someone. Not only that, they will also use their influence as much as possible to make negative comments. As for the reason, you can figure it out yourself."

Miduko really tilted her head and thought about it. After a while, she smiled and said, "I think I understand."

"In fact, Akio Morita's surrender was not just motivated by the fact that he wanted to short them."

Li Jiankun looked down at her and said, “There is another passive reason.

“There are definitely no fools among people at his level, and his vision and overall view are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"The Japanese economy is now too impetuous. People like Akio Morita have long seen that the bubble will burst one day.

“It’s just that for someone like him who is mainly engaged in industry, it’s hard for him to draw a conclusion about when the bubble might burst.

“He will believe that I know better than he does.

"So Akio Morita actually had two concerns. He was worried that I would short sell when the current situation was unfavorable to them, and he was even more worried that I would take advantage of the general trend that was beyond human control to short sell. At that time, under the double chain reaction, Sony might be finished."

Miduzi smacked her lips: "There are so many psychological games behind this."

"There's more."

Li Jiankun smiled slightly: "If Huadian Group had not taken the current situation, this would not have been accomplished. Forget about Akio Morita. Even the Japanese government did not dare to be the first to try this."

Miduko blinked her big eyes and asked, "The right time, right place, and right people?"

"Oh, you are good at Chinese."

"Isn't that right?" Miduzi raised her chin and said proudly, "My teacher is a famous Chinese female scholar."

"What's it called?"

"Shin Jae-han."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"what happened?"

"You were deceived by her."

"impossible!"

"Never mind, it's a good teaching anyway."

After Miduzi's persistent persuasion, Li Jiankun finally explained to her the origin of the name.

This made Miduko consider paying more tuition fees, which was not easy.

Miduko suddenly stretched her body, revealing her exquisite curves: "Even Morita Akio has been dealt with, so shouldn't Hitachi be easy to capture tomorrow?

"By the way, Master, why do you want to acquire two semiconductor divisions?"

"I'm afraid you guys will do something bad." Li Jiankun said jokingly, "If we get two, we can verify each other."

"Master, you are so smart." Miduko rubbed her face against his legs like a lazy kitten.

The next day.

Just as Miduko said, the negotiations with Hitachi went smoothly and without any incidents.

At this point, half of Sony and Hitachi's semiconductor business units had fallen into Li Jiankun's pocket, and the only thing left was to sign the contract.

They need to clean up, give them some time.

At the same time, Li Jiankun's backup forces, two teams composed of professionals from the Hong Kong Huadian Group, also moved into the semiconductor divisions of the two groups.

To ensure that you are buying original products.

And at a reasonable price.

……

……

Located in a building of an official organization in Tokyo.

The quarrel coming from a conference room could be heard across the corridor.

Akio Morita and the CEOs of Hitachi were both there.

This was supposed to be an interview.

But the two CEOs are obviously not people who can be easily educated.

“It’s easy for you to say it in one sentence - no selling.

“Have you ever thought about it from our company’s perspective?

“If I don’t sell it, will it just rot in my hands and die?

"How can the semiconductor industry continue to thrive if the US keeps holding us back like this?

"Luckily someone is willing to buy it. If it's given away for free after a while, no one will want it. In fact, it's just a burden now!"

In the conference room, next to the red painted oval conference table, opposite the two CEOs, sat a row of people.

A middle-aged man with middle-parted hair in the middle raised his hand to calm the situation, saying, "I didn't say you can't sell it, but you can't sell it to him. He's from that country."

Compared to Akio Morita, Hitachi's CEO is younger and more energetic:

"Then please tell me, sir, who should I sell it to? Besides him, who else would buy it now? Who dares to buy it?

"Samsung, the only company that had the ambition to challenge, is gone.

"Isn't there a rumor that it's related to him? This is what happens when you go against him!

"The new round of trade negotiations at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has not yet produced any results. He has seen that no matter how we negotiate, we will lose. Sony and Hitachi will be the most affected. If we don't sell, he will short us. I don't need to say more about his moves.

"Come on, you guys solve this problem for me first, how to prevent it?

"Which will have a greater impact on you, selling a small business unit or the collapse of Sony and Hitachi?"

Speechless.

Cough!

Akio Morita cleared his throat, breaking the awkwardness, and then said indifferently:

“I think you worry too much.

"His Huadian Group has already carved out a niche for itself, and with its abundant financial backing, it will definitely have a say in the world's semiconductor industry in the future, and you can't stop it just because you want to.

"What about the US? They must be in a state of panic right now.

"The members of the Batumi community have all lifted the ban. Why? It is useless. Continuing the ban would be like shooting oneself in the foot. The situation has already been established.

"Who can blame you in this situation? The United States?

“Do you have a face?

"Who is the culprit for the current state of Japan's semiconductor industry?!"

Realizing that he was a little emotional, Akio Morita took a deep breath and lowered his voice:

“Everyone, we have to admit it whether we like it or not, the Japanese semiconductor industry is on the decline and its future is uncertain.

“There is only one way out now: cut off the arm and survive.

"Abandoning the restricted chip manufacturing industry and shifting to the supply of raw materials, which the United States at least lacks, will be the only way to find a ray of hope.

“And this is what you should consider.

"Stop looking at the reasonable choices we made for the fate of the company."

Akio Morita's words made everyone in the conference room fall into deep thought.

……

……

"Nickname, nickname: Sony and Hitachi will both sell their semiconductor divisions to Huadian Group!"

On the streets of Tokyo, a young boy selling newspapers shouted at the top of his lungs.

That morning.

At the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Li Jiankun and representatives from Sony and Hitachi Group signed the contracts respectively.

After the news spread.

The one making the biggest noise is not Japan's benzene.

U.S. technology stocks plunged again, with the decline approaching the stock market crash of 1987.

The Wall Street Journal wrote in an angry tone:

"If last year's stock market crash was a result of a series of irrational behaviors in the stock market, which led to a collapse after a series of irreversible problems, then this time the heavy blow to technology stocks was caused by the stupid behavior of some idiots!"

The New York Times published an opinion article stating:

"With the lowest price in the world and the support of the world's best technology, the rise of Huadian Group is unstoppable. This is bad news and sadness for the US chip industry."

The next day.

Texas Instruments announced that it would abandon the DRAM market.

after one day.

Motorola announced that it would abandon the DRAM market.

At this point, the only remaining successful companies in the DRAM chip field in the United States are National Semiconductor (NS) and Micron, which is still in its infancy.

The whole world was in an uproar.

Port city.

Nancy came to the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau on Garden Road again in a daze.

She didn't know who to talk to about her grievances.

In her opinion, Consul General Anderson was a person of the same level as her.

However, the way Anderson looked at her was obviously different from last time.

"I have advised you before, don't mess with this person."

Anderson said expressionlessly: "Our people are very surprised by the actions of Texas Instruments and Motorola, but I am not surprised at all. Putting aside the situation, he is a shareholder of these two companies."

After a pause, he raised his hand:

"Go away. I can't help you in any way."

Nancy raised an eyebrow and stared at Anderson.

Anderson said nonchalantly, "I heard that the Ministry of Commerce has issued a dismissal notice to you."

Nancy suddenly got mad, stood up, and raised her arms in protest: "What did I do wrong? Why are you firing me? They asked me to come here to negotiate!"

"But the more you talk, the worse it gets."

Anderson hesitated and said, "Perhaps, the resignation letter had already been written before you were sent here."

Nancy opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Anderson shrugged. "Someone has to be held responsible for what has happened. If the position is too low, they can't take the blame. If the position is too high, the higher-ups won't be willing to do so."

"Shit!" Nancy's eyes widened.

Anderson hadn't said anything more.

The people above are definitely not fools, but this time, they met their match and did not expect things to develop to this point.

Based on Anderson's understanding of the relevant procedures, before the negotiations begin, the higher-ups will definitely investigate all aspects of the negotiating opponent. They should be very clear that Jack Lee is not someone who will give in easily.

How could they not know Nancy's abilities?

But once again, they didn't expect that there would be something worse than the worst.

So in a rage, he took out all his anger on Nancy and didn't even bother to call her back, and just issued her a dismissal order.

And why didn't Nancy go back?

fear.

Now, not only the people above, but also countless shareholders and semiconductor practitioners are focused their anger on her.

But as the old saying goes, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person, and Anderson did not sympathize with her at all.

He even thought that it was a miracle that she could get this position in the Federation.

After leaving Anderson's office, Nancy squatted in the corridor and cried like a lost dog.

……

……

Japanese benzene.

"Out?"

In the living room, Li Jiankun sat on the sofa with a white microphone in his hand.

"Can you please not use 'out'? It makes me feel like I'm going to jail."

A voice came from the other end of the phone: "If I don't want to go with them, the Commercial Investigation Department can't take me away.

"It's just that I didn't expect you to be so angry. Now I feel...good."

"I love you."

Li Jiankun made a joke and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You really inspired my fighting spirit, otherwise this matter would have been delayed a lot."

"Has Huadian Group become the only dominant player in the DRAM field?"

"You are a great hero. But there are some things you are not allowed to do again."

"Ah, what did you say? Bad signal, bad signal, beep beep beep..."

"soy Mujer!"

Li Jiankun smiled and shook his head.

Kaka.

There was a voice at the door.

Miduko rushed in with her small leather bag in hand, without even taking off her shoes, and ran to the sofa, muttering mysteriously:

"Someone found my office and wanted to see you. He seemed to be a very important person."

"It seems?" Li Jiankun followed up by asking, "Who?"

"Jim Rogers."

Li Jiankun was stunned and asked in surprise: "This person?"

Miduko couldn't wait to ask, "Who is he? He came to the company in a motorcycle suit and a helmet. The secretary said he didn't look serious. I saw... He really wasn't serious. He had a temperament very similar to you and he called you by your name."

Li Jiankun: "..."

Is this a compliment or a scolding?

"Aren't you learning how to trade stocks?"

Li Jiankun seemed to ask an irrelevant question, and Miduzi nodded and said, "What's wrong?"

"Stop learning it now."

Midoko: "???"
