National Tide 1980

It's really big, things are really big.

Sister Xu didn't expect that when the matter came up, the person in charge of the team would react much more excitedly than she expected.

Director Zou of the Textile Department, a short and fat man weighing more than 160 pounds.

He was so angry that he almost jumped up and was scolded all over his face.

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, foreign affairs are no small matter! How can I say hello to you! You are still the one responsible for supervising the discipline of those models. How can you take the lead in violating discipline? Who asked you to contact the Japanese privately? Who asked you to allow the models to accept Flowers from others?”

"Did you know that we have just signed an in-depth cooperation agreement with XJTLU Department Store? Do you know that this performance in Japan is a major event related to whether we can open up the Japanese clothing market? The second contract is an order worth several million in foreign exchange. Ah! You really messed up the task assigned by the ministry, who can bear this responsibility!"

"To put it lightly, this is because you are free and loose and lack basic literacy in foreign affairs work. To put it more seriously, you know the law and break the law and act willfully, which is very likely to be the culprit that undermines this foreign business cooperation. The Ministry originally selected a translator. When I was working, the person who recommended you said you were reliable. I didn’t expect you to really get into trouble!"

Sister Xu had indeed been mentally prepared and planned to bow her head and admit her mistake.

But the problem is that she is also a temperamental person with a straight temper.

As for her age, she is certainly older compared to the models, but she is only twenty-eight or nine years old.

So although she can tolerate her boss's censure, she can't stand it when her own affairs involve others.

When she heard that Director Zou mentioned the person who recommended her, she lost control of her emotions.

On impulse, I blurted out something unpleasant.

"It's my fault. I'll bear it. Please organize me to punish me. You can record it, inspect it, hold a meeting to criticize me, or transfer me back. But you have to make it clear. What does this have to do with others?"

"Besides, my original intention is to protect the models in our team from harassment. Even if the contract is really deadlocked, it will be the Japanese side's breach of contract and it will be their responsibility."

"I would like to ask, has XJTLU Department Store made a security promise to us? Is it their responsibility to drive away those harassers for us? Then why do their own people do such a thing? They are destroying the economy and trade. Big hat, can you put it on my head?"

After saying that, she turned her head away stubbornly, leaving Director Zou, who had eaten a huge portion of roast chicken, to tremble with rage.

Fortunately, another Director Li from the Ministry of Economic and Trade was also there.

He didn't want to get into a stalemate, and he was even more afraid of causing the translator to give up and try to smooth things over.

"Xiao Xu Xiaoxu, don't get emotional. Lao Zou's criticism of you is also to help you make progress. He is a bit irritable. That's because he is the main person in charge and the burden is on his shoulders. . You should be somewhat considerate of his difficulties."

"Don't forget, we are all comrades in the same camp, and our goals are the same. We are all aiming to successfully complete the political tasks assigned by the ministry."

Of course, if we discuss responsibility for this matter, it is indeed not entirely your fault. Judging from your reaction. Japan's responsibility is certainly greater. Please believe us, we will definitely put forward our opinions to the Japanese side and strive to coordinate based on reason. "

Then he turned his head and gave Director Zou some peace of mind pills.

"Old Zou, don't be too anxious. According to me, the great situation we have achieved so far is actually not that easily destroyed. The situation is probably much more optimistic than we imagined."

"Because as far as I know, the president of Nishiura Department Store, what the Japanese call the president, Mr. Tsutsumi Ichikiyo, is actually an unconventional businessman. He is famous for writing poems and short stories, and has appeared in Japanese literary circles many times. The award-winner is a well-known writer. People like this are educated and reasonable, and it is unlikely that they will care about this little thing."

"And there is another thing you may not know. Why did Mr. Tsutsumi Ichikiyo extend an olive branch to us for business cooperation? The real reason is actually because this president joined the Japanese Red Party, which is the left-wing party, when he was young. Progressive organization. Speaking of which, he is half of us. He naturally has goodwill toward our country and our party."

"So in my opinion, it would be better to exchange opinions with the Japanese side on this matter tomorrow. Isn't the general manager of XJTLU Department Store going to meet with us tomorrow morning to verify the list of this new batch of clothing arriving in Hong Kong? I think it will happen from He takes a look at the situation and finds out what’s going on.”

It must be admitted that there are no mediocre people who can be assigned by the Republic to carry out economic and trade contacts for a long time.

Not only are all of them practical people who can do things, but they also have the ability to adapt to changes.

Otherwise, we would not be able to take on such an important job responsibility.

For example, Director Li, the advice he gave was very practical.

The next day, when he and Director Zou mentioned the matter face to face with the general manager of XJTLU Department Store.

Sure enough, as Director Li expected, XJTLU Department Store paid great attention to it and took decisive measures.

Not only did they immediately launch an investigation into the matter, but they also promptly reported it to President Tsutsumi Ichikiyo.

Immediately, the two directors were received by Tsui Ichiki, and they learned an astonishing fact.

That means XJTLU Group, XJTLU Holdings and XJTLU Department Store are indeed from the same origin.

But the asset division was completed very early, and they were already two almost unrelated group companies.

In fact, Tsutsumi is considering setting up a Four Seasons Group to integrate his department stores and supermarket chains.

As for why this is the case?

This requires us to talk about the complex family relationships and conflicts of interests of the Di family.

The specific situation was revealed by Tsui Ichiki himself.

This gentle and scholar-like president does indeed have a sinister heart.

Do not hesitate to show the scars on your family relationship to the outside world.

Kojiro Tsutsumi, the father of Tsutsumi Ichikiyo, is a typical political businessman.

Because he was the speaker of Japan's House of Representatives and relied on political power as a backing, he was able to single-handedly establish the Nishiura Group, which includes railways, real estate, chemical hotels and department stores.

But because of this, Tikojiro was undoubtedly quite angry about the young and energetic Tsutsumi Ichiki joining the Japanese Red Party.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to kick this biological son out of the house, and even deprived Tsutsumi Ichiki of his inheritance rights.

He handed over his Xijiao Group to another illegitimate son Tsutsumi Kazaki who was not eligible to inherit.

In 1973, in order to avoid the expansion of the influence of the inheritance dispute and ensure the internal stability of the group.

Tsutsumi Ichimei took a step back quite wisely and offered conditions to his brother Tsutsumi Ichiki.

He expressed his willingness to completely withdraw from the XJTLU Group at the expense of his father's department store business.

Tsui Ichiki weighed the pros and cons and agreed to the distribution plan.

So there was the XJTLU Department Store, which was independent of the XJTLU Group.

This means that in the end, Tsutsumi Ichikiyo only received less than one-fifth of his father's inheritance.

However, his illegitimate brother Tsutsumi Ichiaki left almost the entire XJTLU Group industry behind and became the biggest winner.

But even so, Nishiura Department Store Ikebukuro main store is an exception and does not entirely belong to Tsutsumi Ichikiyo.

Because when Tsutsumi Yasujiro's eightieth birthday, Tsutsumi Kazaki's wife also gave birth to a boy on this day.

The birth of his grandson by such a coincidence certainly made Kojiro Tsutsumi very happy.

He believed that this child was a good omen for the family, and not only named the child Di Kangguang himself.

Moreover, he readily gave one-third of the equity of Nishiura Department Store Ikebukuro main store to his grandson as a blessing.

In this way, the fact becomes obvious.

The person who harassed the model of the Republic delegation was none other than Tsutsumi Ichiki's nephew.

He is also a small shareholder of Nishiura Department Store and often comes to the Ikebukuro main store for shopping and consumption.

Probably because there are many people at Nishiura Department Store Ikebukuro who want to take refuge and deliberately curry favor with the heir to the Nishiura Group.

Only those who work for Ti Kangguang can be so unhindered and unscrupulous.

Therefore, Tsui Ichiki's attitude towards this matter was very clear, and he apologized to the two directors on the spot.

I say it very sincerely that the responsibility for breaking the agreement lies entirely with you.

It was his own appeasement and carelessness that caused trouble for the delegation and created obstacles and misunderstandings for the cooperation between the two parties.

Therefore, he will definitely pursue this matter to the end and ensure that the delegation will receive a satisfactory result.

He even wanted to personally apologize to Sister Xu and Qu Xiao who had been wronged and make amends for the matter.

To be honest, what the two directors actually want is for business cooperation to continue as usual without being affected.

I never expected that Tsutsumi Ichiki would make such a statement.

So they were really satisfied and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

In an attitude of calming things down, the two of them naturally tacitly agreed to let it go.

It turns out that one's own side is actually responsible, so it's better to just treat it as a misunderstanding and forget about it.

And they also complimented Qidi Yiqing together.

It is said that he has the style of an elder who is humble to others and has an attitude of being lenient towards others but strict with himself, which is very admirable.

But unfortunately, it may be due to the limitations of the two division directors.

They never understand that many small things are actually superficial phenomena or just an introduction.

It's what's behind these little things and the results that are important.

As far as this matter is concerned, when it comes to Di Yiqing, there are undoubtedly many other factors involved. He has to consider far more than the two directors.

To be honest, Tsui Ichikiyo also has two sides. He is not just a writer.

Moreover, joining a left-wing organization was already part of his history when he was young. People will grow and change.

Since I took over the lowest-class department store business in my father's property.

He is able to run the business successfully, and it has been expanding at an alarming rate in recent years.

This is enough to prove that he is also an outstanding master in business management.

Of course, such a businessman cannot lack calculation.

So at this point, how this matter will evolve will not be stopped by the two division chiefs with just a few words.

As Tsuiichi Kiyo made commitments and decisions.

This small incident, which was really nothing, is destined to continue to expand its impact and evolve towards the other extreme.
