Chapter 462: Eighteen Car Companies Jointly Accuse the Miyazaki Family of Turning From Darkness to Light

"Monopoly?"

"Sue Chen Xing for monopoly?"

"Oh my God, this is a good idea. This is the real trick to win over Linghang 001. Masike, you are so smart."

"Even if we can't get Linghang 001 out of the market, as long as we can make it increase in price and return to the normal range, it will be our victory."

Masike's word "monopoly" completely ignited the atmosphere in the dinner box. They seemed to have found an outlet for venting.

Those who have never done business may not understand that "monopoly" is not allowed in any country, at least not at the legal level.

Because monopoly means having pricing power, which will lead to commodity prices no longer being constrained by the market, but entirely at the will of individuals.

For example, before 1870, diamonds were a mineral resource more scarce than gold and were favored by many royal families.

At that time, a 3-carat diamond ring could be exchanged for 4 tons of gold, and there was gold but no diamonds, because there were too few natural diamond mines that could cut 3 carats.

However, in 1870, miners in South Africa accidentally discovered a super diamond mine, exposing the amount of diamonds stored inside. The royal family, who first learned the inside information, felt that the "scarcity" had disappeared, and they were no longer keen on wearing diamonds.

Just when diamonds were about to depreciate significantly, several diamond dealers around the world hit it off and established De Beers, which directly bought the super diamond mine in South Africa and restricted the mining volume, making diamonds still scarce around the world. They also used advertisements to bind diamond rings with love, harvesting the world for more than a century.

In more than a century of harvest, De Beers made a lot of money by artificially manipulating diamond prices.

Of course.

The ability to make so much money is also attributed to advertising.

The phrase "Diamonds are forever, and one diamond will last forever" not only binds diamonds to love, but even today diamonds can be artificially synthesized, there are still a large number of newlyweds willing to pay thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars to buy real diamond rings and pay "loyalty fees" for the love of both parties.

In addition to the diamond monopoly, there is also an example of vitamin C monopoly.

Yes!

Vitamin C can also be monopolized.

3 yuan for 100 tablets of vitamin C. In the 1950s and 1960s, there were only three pharmaceutical companies in the world that could produce vitamin C, namely Roche in Switzerland, BASF in Germany, and Takeda in the island country.

After the three groups jointly purchased the patented technology of the Lei's chemical extraction method, they quickly established the Vitamin C Alliance and began to drive up the price of vitamin C.

At the highest point, a kilogram of vitamin C was 26 US dollars. You know, that was 26 US dollars in the 1950s and 1960s. If converted to the present, it is equivalent to two or three thousand yuan.

A kilogram of vitamin C is two or three thousand yuan. You can imagine how much profit there is in monopoly.

It is precisely because of the huge profits that most countries in the world have monopoly laws, the purpose of which is to prevent the recurrence of monopoly cases similar to diamonds and vitamin C.

"If you really sue for monopoly, maybe you can really bring Chen Xing down." Chen Hong lowered her voice and passed the message to Zeng Hong beside her.

"Who will be the first to speak out?"

Zeng Hong immediately asked in a low voice after hearing this.

"I feel that Masike will be the first to come forward, otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious to form this situation with so many people." Tang Ruiyang, the CEO of Changan Group, heard the two people talking and also lowered his voice to express his views.

Since the entire box was divided into several small teams, they were all talking to each other, and not many people paid attention to the conversation of Chen Hong and others.

"Ahem."

Masike coughed twice, signaled silence and tried again: "In your opinion, how about suing Chen Xing and others for monopoly?"

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"I definitely support it!"

As soon as Masike finished speaking, the CEO of the foreign company in the box and the CEO of Longguo Auto Company all spoke up.

Now they are a community of interests, with a common interest bond, and Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company are their enemies.

"A luxury car with a million-level performance is only sold for more than 200,000 yuan. Even if they have not monopolized, they have already shown signs of monopolization. I believe that the antitrust laws of countries around the world will not sit idly by." Honda Group President Otaki Ikki scanned the audience and expressed his views.

"Yes, as long as we let it increase its price, we will win." Toyota Group President Nishikawa Takahiro also expressed his views.

The moment the two finished speaking, everyone in the box nodded in agreement.

They can sit here, in fact, they have already expressed their attitudes and positions.

This is the same as a circle. Whether in school or in society, basically no one deliberately clamors to form a circle, but people will gradually form small groups in the process of getting along, because "birds of a feather flock together".

"Who will sue?"

Chen Hong asked with courage.

His sudden voice not only attracted the attention of everyone in the box, but also caused many people to frown.

If there is a contempt chain in this dinner, then the CEOs of Longguo Auto are at the bottom, because they rely on "sucking blood".

In other words, even if a pig runs SAIC, it can still have a market value of over 100 billion, because its core technologies are all foreign.

The instantaneous freezing of the atmosphere in the box and the silence of the air made Chen Hong extremely embarrassed. He wanted to show his presence and also show his "loyalty".

After all, this is one of the few dinners that brings together most of the world's top automakers, and its value is inestimable.

The silence in the air and the lack of anyone talking made Zeng Hong feel a little embarrassed. He felt that he shouldn't sit next to Chen Hong. This guy was too swaying and just seeking profit.

Fortunately, Masik is not stupid. Although he despises the CEO of Longguo Automobile Company from the bottom of his heart, he knows very well that their enemies now are Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Rebus. One more person means one more strength.

"It's impossible to sue a certain person or a certain company, so I want to call on everyone to jointly accuse Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company of practicing monopoly."

"good!"

"Pah, pah, pah—"

As soon as Masik finished speaking, Honda Group CEO Otaki Kazuki immediately voted in favor and took the lead in applauding.

For a time, the box was filled with applause, and the previous awkward atmosphere disappeared.

"Co-branding is good. Joint-branding may not be taken seriously by one company, but with more than a dozen companies, everyone will have to consider it."

"That's right. Not only should we jointly complain to the Dragon Kingdom, but we should also complain to other countries and boycott the Pilot 001 car!"

"Haha, this method works!"

"Yes, yes, this is good!"

The CEOs of foreign companies were smiling and chatting and laughing, but because Chen Hong figured out that these people didn't want to see her, she could only nod in agreement without expressing her opinion.

He finally understood what the saying "money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat" meant.

However, although money is difficult to earn, it has to be earned. He does not want to become Nokia and disappear in the long river of history.

"Gou Jian lay down on the firewood and tasted the courage. Han Xin was humiliated under the crotch. Hold it back and don't get angry. You can't get angry." Zeng Hong kept comforting himself in his heart.

Not only Zeng Hong, but other Longguo car company CEOs were also laughing, and none of them chose to leave the box.

If someone gave them a rude look at other dinners, they didn't even need to think about it, they just left without saying a word.

But it won't work this time. This time they really have no choice. The pricing of Pilot 001 is table-topping...

No!

It's a coffin-lifting level.

Seeing that everyone in the box was agreeing, Masik also took advantage of the victory and said: "Since everyone has no objections, let me start. Everyone will sign a joint complaint letter tonight, and I will find someone to send it to the State Administration for Market Regulation of Longguo. Tomorrow we will submit it to the State Administration for Market Regulation. Shencheng Court sued Chen Xing and others for engaging in monopoly."

"I'll listen to your arrangements."

Otaki Kazuki was the first to agree.

Others did not remain silent and spoke in agreement.

"Yes, yes, I listen to you."

"I agree. Every extra day that Pilot 001 is sold, we lose a day. We must use our troops quickly to kill them!"

"Well said!"

"I'll ask the waiter to get a pen and paper." Masik stood up. Since it was not a contract, there was no need for a lawyer to be present.

In less than a moment, Masik walked back in with paper, pen and ink pad.

Then without any hesitation, he wrote hundreds of English words eloquently, and finally pressed his fingerprint.

Since they were watching Masik write it, others also knew what it said, so they all signed and pressed their fingerprints.

Masik picked up the complaint letter that was full of fingerprints. He suppressed the joy in his heart and carefully checked whether there were any mistakes.

"General Group, Ford Group, BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz Group, Audi Group, Honda Group, Toyota Group, Mitsubishi Group, Hyundai Group, SAIC Group, Guangzhou Automobile Group, Changan Group..."

"Seventeen groups have signed, including my Tesla, it's 18. Chen Xing, let's see if you can still jump this time!"

Faced with so many joint accusations from car companies, no matter how excellent the performance of Pilot 001 is, it must be investigated for market monopoly.

Once the Pilot 001 car enters the investigation stage, it is not allowed to continue production during this period, that is to say, it must be stopped. This time may be half a month, several months, or even one or two years.

At that time, Masik can use this investigation period to sell his Tesla and complete his bet with the Magic City.

He didn't want to make this move, but Chen Xing went too far.

The price of a coupe with million-dollar performance would drive him to a dead end!

…

While Masik and others were still discussing the complaint letter, the gear lever at the entrance of Longxing Base was slowly raised, and an inconspicuous black Santana was driving into the park.

After driving around for a few minutes, Santana parked in the parking lot of the office building, and the main driver's door opened.

I saw a pure and sweet girl with a single ponytail getting out of the car. She closed the door and walked towards the office building.

"Is this Miss Sumie Miyazaki?"

As soon as Miyazaki Sumie entered the building, the receptionist at the front desk immediately asked and walked out of her station.

"Yes."

Miyazaki June nodded in response.

Since she received education at an island school in Dragon Kingdom, both Chinese and Japanese are extremely standard and she can communicate without any barriers.

"plz follow me."

After confirming the identity, the girl at the front desk quickly led the way.

Sumie Miyazaki followed her steps and took the elevator to the top floor.

"bite--"

The elevator door opens.

The girl at the front desk made a gesture of invitation and continued: "Please come this way."

The two walked for a while and finally arrived at the door of Chen Xing's office. The door was not closed at this time.

Although the office door is not closed, knocking as a reminder is compulsory.

"Dong dong——"

"President, Miss Sumie Miyazaki is here."

When Chen Xing, who was sitting in his office, heard this, he looked away from the screen, looked at the door and said, "Come in and close the door."

"OK."

The girl at the front desk responded quickly.

Miyazaki Sumie didn't hesitate and walked into the office quickly, and then she heard the sound of the door closing behind her.

In the dead of night, alone, a man and a woman, with the door closed tightly. Just looking at the words, there is something wrong with this.

"Come over here and sit."

Chen Xing stood up and walked to the negotiation area. At this time, a pot of hot tea was already placed on the tea table, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

half an hour ago.

Chen Xing was still in the marketing department, discussing the next campaign plan with Yao Nana, but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a phone call.

After getting through, the other party claimed to be Sumie Miyazaki and had something important to discuss.

At first, Chen Xing wanted to refuse. After all, he was attacking the island country's economy and finance. Any visit from Xiao Baga needed to be cautious to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

However, Miyazaki Sumie seemed to have expected it, and quickly offered a bargaining chip that Chen Xing could not refuse. This made Chen Xing change his mind again, but she could only come alone.

"grateful."

Miyazaki Sumie sat down on the sofa on one side.

Perhaps because she was indoors, with the constant temperature of the air conditioner, she untied the scarf wrapped around her neck, folded it several times, and placed it on her knees.

"Drink some tea and warm up your body first. The temperature in Shenzhen has been quite cold recently."

"Thank you so much."

The two drank half a cup of tea with each other and entered into the theme in tacit understanding.

"Miss Chunhui, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. How can you help me quickly control the island country's semiconductor companies?"

Chen Xing goes straight to the core theme.

"Quickly take control of the island country's semiconductor companies." It was precisely because Miyazaki Sumie offered this bargaining chip that Chen Xing was moved.

You must know that current semiconductor equipment mainly relies on Germany.

Although German equipment is good, in the final analysis, the initiative is still handed over to outsiders.

Chen Xing doesn't like to make up for the situation immediately. He prefers to plan ahead. The problem of semiconductor equipment and the high-end industrial system must be solved at once.

"Mr. Chen, have you ever heard of holding shares on behalf of others?"

Miyazaki Sumie asked.

Chen Xing didn't have any trouble at all and replied calmly: "Are you going to hold the shares of a Japanese semiconductor company on my behalf?"

"It's not me, it's the company behind me, Neon Telegraph Communications."

"Are you here on behalf of your family?"

"Yes."

"Tell me why."

Chen Xing picked up the tea cup again, took a sip and waited for the next step.

Miyazaki Sumie knew very well that she only had this chance. After quickly organizing her words, she expressed her point of view:

"Ask us to hold the shares on behalf of you. If you are the driving force behind the acquisition, the resistance to the acquisition will be much smaller. Moreover, Longxing Group can control them without even knowing it."

"continue."

Chen Xing signaled.

Obviously, he was not moved.

After hearing this, Miyazaki Sumie also made a heavyweight statement: "In the context of the US dollar interest rate hike, the top leaders of the island country are already dissatisfied with the existence of arbitrage transactions, and may suddenly announce an interest rate hike in the near future. From my side Can provide the first time inside information content.”

"Raise interest rates, carry trade."

Chen Xing fell into deep thought.

Due to the interest rate hike situation, he has been studying finance for the past year, and naturally he has heard of the Japanese yen arbitrage trade.

The so-called yen arbitrage trade takes advantage of the generally zero interest rates of Japanese banks, borrows money at zero cost, converts it into U.S. dollars, and then deposits it into a U.S. bank to earn interest.

Just imagine, suppose you borrowed 10,000 US dollars worth of Japanese yen, and the repayment period is one year. During this year, you only need to deposit the money in a bank in the United States, and you can get 1,000 US dollars in interest per year. If you exchange the U.S. dollars for Japanese yen in the future and return the original Japanese yen, you will still have 1,000 U.S. dollars. Who can let go of this kind of thing?

Ordinary people let it go because they don’t know and don’t have enough knowledge.

But the investment banks of international capital are all smart financial people. Will they let it go? Obviously impossible!

Ever since the U.S. raised interest rates, they have started arbitrage trading. No one knows how much money they have deposited in U.S. banks.

Once the yen raises interest rates...

The consequences are unimaginable.

After weighing the situation, Chen Xing shook his head and said, "These alone are not enough for me to take the risk and trust you."

"you…"

Miyazaki Sumie was about to say that Chen Xing was greedy, but she swallowed it hard. She had no choice but to take the initiative, and besides, she also shouldered the family mission.

After calming down, she argued with reason: "This is enough, Mr. Chen. If you think about it carefully, if the island country really announces an interest rate hike, a large amount of yen will flow back to the island country, and the central bank with money can fight a protracted war with you." , according to your character, you don’t want to delay it too long, right?”

"Of course." Chen Xing nodded and gave his own opinion: "But have you ever thought about whether the United States will allow the island country to raise interest rates?"

After he finished speaking, he played with the tea cup in his hand and said with a hint of humor: "As we all know, currency interest rate hikes are bad for the stock market and can also play a role in suppressing inflation. But if you look at the current situation in the United States, the stock market has been recovering. There is no sign of a downward trend at all, and the inflation rate is still rising.”

"What does this mean?"

“That means the money isn’t flowing into the bank!”

"The largest arbitrage trade is Wall Street financial capital. They put their money on rice stocks in pursuit of higher returns. Once the central bank of the island country chooses to raise interest rates and breaks the financial balance, it will inevitably cause global financial turmoil."

"Will the United States agree?"

"Won't!"

“It’s financial founding.”

"That is to say, Miss Chunhui, the promise you gave has no substantive effect, because the United States will not let the island country raise interest rates unless the latter plays a backstab."

"..."

Miyazaki June was silent for a long time.

Chen Xing is right to say that the United States will not let the island countries raise interest rates, but according to the inside information they learned, there is indeed a possibility of a sudden increase in interest rates in the island countries.

After thinking about it, she decided to hand over the final bargaining chip and said: "Since none of these can make Mr. Chen excited, then if we add 11% of Shin-Etsu Chemical Group's shares, 14% and 13% of TOK Tokyo Inka and Mitsubishi Group shares, can you agree to our conditions?”

The moment he finished speaking, Chen Xing's eyes narrowed slightly. He had no idea that the family behind Miyazaki Sumie was so powerful and actually held shares in so many well-known Japanese companies.

Out of caution, he still asked: "Your shareholding ratio is so large? These should be the top ten shareholders."

"That's right." Sumie Miyazaki nodded and continued: "It is true that they are all the top ten shareholders. We have reaped the dividends of the times and have our own investment company."

In the past few decades, it was indeed a dividend period for information communications and mobile devices. Chen Xing would not question this. Now he is thinking about whether to let the Miyazaki family hold it on behalf of him.

Just as Miyazaki Sumie said, if the Miyazaki family comes forward to acquire and increase their holdings in their name, they may be able to seize corporate rights without anyone noticing.

About three minutes later, Chen Xing suddenly asked: "I have a question, why do you want to come to me for cooperation?"

"Are you telling me what we want?"

Miyazaki Sumie asked rhetorically.

"You can put it this way." Chen Xing nodded and refilled his cup of tea.

"We don't want much, we just want to preserve the business foundation of the Miyazaki family, and we also hope that Mr. Chen can provide strong support."

"What is the business foundation of Neon Telegraph Communications Company?" Chen Xing suddenly realized, and asked again: "You mean the network communications business?"

"Yes." Sumie Miyazaki nodded slightly and responded: "We can provide you with first-hand inside information, and we can also sign a concerted action contract with you. When you collect enough stocks, we will cooperate with you to start impeachment. Meeting."

"In return, you will authorize Neon Telegraph Communications Company to have the exclusive right to operate the 5G network, and all net revenue and profits will belong to us. What do you think?"

Due to the sudden advent of 5G high-speed network and the rapid completion of globalization, except for Longxing Group and Kunpeng Company, other information and communication companies around the world have entered a performance winter. Neon Telegraph Communications Company's share is constantly decreasing. The reason is that Chen Xing did not choose Neon Telegraph Communications Company as the operator of Japan's 5G network, but Japan Telecom and Telephone Co., Ltd., which was their official designation.

And now, the Miyazaki family wants a share of the pie.

"It seems to be worthwhile to use the 5G network revenue in a small area to exchange for a time bomb inside the enemy."

Chen Xing thought carefully in his heart.

However, to be cautious and to dispel his worries, he chose to ask Li Zhenzhen to come and seek the opinions of the former Korean star group princess.

Not a moment.

Li Zhenzhen, still dressed in a women's business suit and neat and tidy, knocked on the door and entered.

"It turns out that the guest is Miss Junhui."

Li Zhenzhen looked up and down.

"Hello, I've heard about Li Zhenzhen's name for a long time." The two shook hands in a friendly manner.

After the two were polite, Chen Xing repeated the content of the previous conversation and expressed his concerns.

This kind of shameful transnational cooperation, even if it is written down in black and white, is not very binding if you really want to go back on it.

"This is simple. Mr. Chen, why don't you go out first? I have something to say to Miss Chunhui alone." Li Zhenzhen said confidently.

Chen Xing frowned. What words did he need to avoid?

Miyazaki Junhui felt bad. She always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Seeing that the two of them were indifferent, Li Zhenzhen added: "If Mr. Chen thinks it's okay and there are no worries, then everyone will be happy, but if you still think it's not interesting, you might as well just listen to me."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Miyazaki June again and said, "Ms. Miyazaki June, you don't want to return without success this time, right?"

Chen Xing: "..."

Miyazaki Sumie: "..."

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Chen Xing chose to walk out of the office and closed the door.

"Click——"

The moment the door was closed, the door lock sounded.

"What's going to happen? Miyazaki June is Miyazaki Yu's eldest daughter. Li Zhenzhen, please don't do anything stupid." Chen Xing murmured to himself.

Although Sumie Miyazaki is the eldest daughter, she is also an only child. Her younger brother died in a car accident many years ago. Now she is the only direct bloodline of the Miyazaki family.

Moreover, she was able to represent the island country at the "International 5G Network Negotiation Conference". In addition, she just said that she had first-hand information from within the island country. It may be extremely difficult for her.

Chen Xing walked to the side of the corridor, took out the regular cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

The smoke is gone.

The office door remained silent.

"Is nothing going to happen?"

Chen Xing threw the cigarette butt into the trash can in the corridor, then returned to the door of his office and put his ear close to the door frame to eavesdrop.

"Lick up and down."

"Yes, that's it."

"Say you are a little X dog, repeat it three times."

Chen Xing: "..."

No!

What's going on?

What's going on in there?
