Chapter 3291 Dawson's Arrival, Factory Established in Japan
P.S.: Sorry everyone, I drank too much with my childhood friend last night and blacked out. I'll make up for it today.
"Yang, it's been a long time! You're getting younger and younger."
The Minzu Hotel in Sijiu City.
Yang Xiaotao was speechless as he watched Dawson approach him with great enthusiasm.
However, out of politeness, I still went up and gave the other person a hug.
"Yes, the last time was in Dengzhou."
Yang Xiaotao released the other person and said with a smile, "So, dear Mr. Dawson, what brings you here in person?"
Dawson shook his head. "Yang, you don't seem like a Chinese person at all."
"Oh, why do you say that?"
Yang Xiaotao was somewhat confused, but Dawson laughed and said, "Because in my impression, Chinese people are very reserved, warm, and tactful."
"Like now, we've just met. You should invite me for a drink and some food, and then subtly probe the purpose of my visit over the drinks. Only then can we get down to business."
"But what about you? We're still in the hotel corridor, and you're already asking me why I'm here."
"I have to say, Yang, you are really special."
Dawson spoke with a smile, and the people who followed him also smiled.
They've long been familiar with these table manners.
Yang Xiaotao laughed along, "Dawson, I have to say, you really know a lot about Chinese culture."
"So-so. To do business with you, you have to understand each other quite well, otherwise how can we continue the conversation?"
"Well, you've certainly done your homework."
Yang Xiaotao stopped smiling, realizing why Old Chen had insisted on having him come.
The old 'Tai Chi' tactics are completely useless against this guy, and there's no need for them either.
"Then, shall we go inside and talk?"
Yang Xiaotao pointed to the conference room next to him.
Dawson nodded. "That's exactly what I wanted."
"please!"
The two then walked into the hotel conference room together.
The people following behind also came in one after another.
Yang Xiaotao noticed the two people following Dawson, one tall and one short, the tall one thin and the short one fat, both faces he had never seen before.
Besides that, there were some accompanying personnel.
Behind Yang Xiaotao were Xu Yuanshan, Yang Youning, and Yu Zecheng from the Ninth Department, as well as Secretary Guo representing Elder Chen, Tang Mingyue representing Elder Qing, and accompanying personnel from the Foreign Trade Department.
More than ten people from both sides entered the conference room and quickly filled all the seats.
Yang Xiaotao sat close to Dawson, and staff brought them hot tea.
The air conditioning was on in the meeting room, making the environment quite comfortable.
Dawson did not introduce his entourage, so Yang Xiaotao did not take the initiative to introduce them either.
"Yang, there's something I wanted to ask you when I saw you again."
Dawson crossed his legs and looked at Yang Xiaotao intently, while everyone in the conference room pricked up their ears to listen.
Xu Yuanshan and Yu Zecheng, in particular, immediately looked at Dawson after the translator finished speaking.
"Ask away, I will answer any question I can."
Yang Xiaotao said nonchalantly that his main purpose in attending the meeting on behalf of Old Chen was to sell computers to the other party and to sound out the United States' attitude.
If the United States is willing to open up trade channels, Yang Xiaotao believes that making money is still possible.
Of course, he wouldn't do something like offering his warm welcome only to be met with indifference.
"hey-hey."
"I'd like to know, how old are you exactly?"
No one expected Dawson to ask such a question, especially Yang Xiaotao's own people next to him. They looked at each other, wondering what was so interesting about it.
Moreover, Yang Xiaotao's age is no secret among them.
Is this question important?
Yang Xiaotao asked curiously, but Dawson nodded solemnly.
The people who followed behind also looked expectant, as if this was a very important matter.
"Yes, that's something I'm very curious about personally."
"I hope you can grant me this small request."
Dawson straightened his legs and said very seriously.
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this involves my privacy and I can't tell you."
In an instant, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Dawson originally thought Yang Xiaotao would tell him his age with a smile, and then he would praise the other person for being young, and then talk about the series of achievements he had made at such a young age.
The meeting then proceeded in this friendly atmosphere.
But who would have thought that this guy wouldn't play by the rules?
Yu Zecheng and the others were surprised that Yang Xiaotao would refuse. They were still wondering what could possibly be the reason for asking about his age.
The next moment, Yang Xiaotao spoke up, "Of course, as a friend, I'm willing to share some of my secrets."
"I was born in 1940, which, according to the Chinese zodiac, means I belong to the Dragon!"
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the previously silent conference room immediately erupted in laughter.
Dawson quickly calculated Yang Xiaotao's age, "Oh my god, thirty-five years old, a dragon, that mysterious and magical animal?"
"What an amazing age."
Do you know?
"Many people your age couldn't even achieve half of what you've accomplished, no, maybe even half of it."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Although Yang Xiaotao was prepared, he still couldn't handle the barrage of flattery. He coughed a few times before stopping the praise.
“Mr. Dawson, although what you said is true, we don’t need to say it out loud. We can just keep it to ourselves.”
puff
Laughter erupted again in the conference room.
Tang Mingyue and Secretary Guo lowered their heads.
Yang Youning whispered to Xu Yuanshan, "I finally understand why Old Chen sent General Manager Yang here."
Xu Yuanshan nodded. "Yes, they're both cut from the same cloth."
As for Yu Zecheng, he kept an eye on the two men of different heights and builds after entering the conference room.
His intuition told him that these two people were probably like him.
“Okay, Yang, you are indeed different from other Chinese people.”
Dawson shook his head speechlessly, while Yang Xiaotao shrugged. "Dawson, I must correct one of your misconceptions."
"No two leaves are the same in the world, just as no two people are the same in the world."
Even identical twins can have differences in personality, weight, and so on.
Dawson, looking utterly defeated, covered his head and turned to his teammates, saying, "I forgot to tell you, Yang is also a very great biologist."
"So, don't try to say anything about biology in front of him!"
Seeing Dawson cross his arms and quickly reject the suggestion, everyone in the room laughed again.
“Sir, we knew when we came.”
At this point, the short, thin man added a comment.
Then you see Dawson clutching his chest, looking like he's been stabbed.
Xu Yuanshan, Yang Youning, and the others laughed again.
The entire conference room was filled with laughter, which set a good tone for the conversation that followed.
"Yang, let's get down to business, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to eat lunch."
Dawson took the initiative to speak up, because he dared not let Yang Xiaotao continue to "show off" now, as this was a waste of time even more than the so-called dinner party.
“Alright then,” Yang Xiaotao put down his crossed legs, turned his head to look at Xu Yuanshan, Tang Mingyue and the others, “Let’s get down to business.”
In an instant, the conference room fell silent again.
"Yang, we want to buy more computers."
"Sun 75!"
"This computer is amazing. Everyone I've met who has used it has praised it highly, especially for its help in office work. It has completely changed the way we work."
"Oh right, there's that kind of game, CS, right? That game is amazing."
"This computer can be distributed worldwide."
Yang Xiaotao was not surprised when Dawson took the initiative to speak, as this was an important part of the meeting.
"Sure, we have enough stock. It just depends on how much you want to buy."
Dawson then added, "We initially ordered 500,000 units, but that's not all we have."
"We still have a very large market in Japan and South Korea."
"At the very least, we still need one million units."
"This is the minimum requirement."
After Dawson finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao looked at Secretary Guo beside him, who nodded subtly, indicating that Dawson was not lying.
"One million units, no problem."
"Even two million units wouldn't be a problem."
Yang Xiaotao spoke up, saying, "With our current industrial production capacity, this quantity is not a problem."
Dawson smiled, then took a deep breath. "Yang, I'm not doubting your production capacity, but I think you might need some time."
"Yes, it will take some time, but that's not a problem."
Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, "After all, it takes time to install and use this computer, right?"
Dawson shook his head in disappointment. "Well, Yang, I think you must have given them a discount, right?"
"Just like Dawn 1 back then, right?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded. "That's right. There are always some discounts for bulk transactions, but I think Ms. Li Rong from the foreign trade department should have told you about that."
Dawson nodded. "Yes, those are indeed true."
"I'd like a better price."
"No, no, Mr. Dawson, the price is not determined by us. I am the manufacturer, so if you want to discuss preferential pricing terms, Ms. Li Rong will handle the communication with you."
Yang Xiaotao interrupted him directly, which didn't surprise Dawson.
Through their previous conversation, he had come to understand that Yang Xiaotao was not the kind of person who would sacrifice substance for face.
To cooperate with him, all you need is sincerity.
"Okay, okay, this was expected."
After he finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao's gaze sharpened. Clearly, the price discount he had just inquired about was a diversionary tactic, and their main objective was yet to come.
Dawson took a deep breath and said again, "Yang, we all know that this computer is excellent and has the potential to change the world."
"If that's the case, why not let the whole world use it?"
Yang Xiaotao frowned. "Dawson, what we're doing now is getting the whole world to use it."
"No, no, no, Yang, this world is very, very big."
Dawson spoke up to stop him, then leaned closer and said, "One million, three million, ten million, or even more."
"If you rely solely on your production, how long will it take to finish?"
"Yang, sometimes, time is money."
"We can only make the biggest profits before other competitors develop the same computer, right?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Dawson with a sincere expression, but in his heart he was utterly wicked.
This guy is definitely up to no good.
"Dawson, stop beating around the bush and just tell me what you want."
Yang Xiaotao had lost his patience and asked directly.
At this moment, everyone else also looked at Dawson and his group, their brows furrowed.
Seeing this, Dawson nodded to the people around him and said directly to Yang Xiaotao, "Yang!"
"We hope to introduce the production technology of the Sun75 and build a factory on the Japanese island for production."
"what?"
Yang Xiaotao almost couldn't sit still.
The people behind him also looked surprised, their faces full of disbelief.
Dawson spoke up, saying, "That's right. We've come here hoping to introduce your production technology and establish a factory on the Japanese island."
"This will save on transportation costs, offset tariffs, and allow the factory to produce more computers by leveraging the economic and technological strength of Japan."
"Furthermore, Japan already has a mature computer production system; what it lacks is technology, specifically core technology."
"With your support, we can move into production."
Dawson began to explain, and the team members around him all wore smiles.
That is precisely their main objective.
No matter how many computers they buy from China, they are just "reselling merchants" and will never earn as much as the manufacturers.
Therefore, to seek higher profits, one must build factories and engage in production.
They had the necessary conditions on the Japanese islands.
The initial JP50 computer production line only needs slight modifications to assemble and produce the Sunrise 75 computer.
Of course, the profits from this will be shared with China, because the other party holds the most crucial technology.
After listening, Yang Xiaotao looked directly at Xu Yuanshan and the others beside him.
However, after hearing what the other party said, the group was equally shocked.
What is this??
Building factories overseas?
Should we build the factory on the Japanese islands?
It's worth noting that currently, only one company, Great Wall Motors, has factories overseas, and that's in partnership with Persia to sell cars.
As for the relationship between Persia and China, everyone knows the answer.
The relationship between China and Japan is something every Chinese person knows, so there's no need to elaborate.
The idea of building a factory on the Japanese islands sounds incredibly improbable.
"I cannot make this decision."
Yang Xiaotao stood up and said to Dawson, "However, I will report this to the leaders and give it serious consideration."
Dawson stood up and extended his hand, and the two shook hands firmly.
"Yang, whether in your personal capacity or in the context of the relationship between our two countries."
"This cooperation is beneficial to both of us."
"I received some information before I came."
“Our relationship shouldn’t be competitive; we can absolutely have a win-win relationship.”
"You agree, right?"
Yang Xiaotao, shaking the other's hand, said just as seriously, "That depends on your attitude."
"You should know that you were the ones who started this whole thing."
Dawson shrugged. "Yang, we're from two different factions. You can't generalize like that."
"Is that so? But in my eyes, you are all the same."
"Oh, that's really unfortunate."
