Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Springfield Restaurant, this restaurant has been open in Los Angeles for nearly 30 years. It has always been an ideal choice for private dining for Hollywood stars and business people. It is only one street away from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so you can often see stars, directors, producers and other film and television celebrities here. There are also some handsome guys and beautiful girls with dreams waiting for opportunities here.

When Bao Zixuan arrived, Matsushita Konosuke had already arrived in advance. He was chatting with Ichiro Haruta, the owner of the store, and Bao Zixuan did not disturb them. It sounded like they had known each other for a long time and hadn't seen each other for several years.

Matsushita Konosuke has rarely gone abroad since retiring to the second line. After all, he is old. Get involved when Panasonic is just deciding important things. But today he decided to make an exception and go into battle in person to meet this young man.

Matsushita Konosuke: "Here we come, boy. Isn't it nice here!"

Bao Zixuan: “The layout is okay, but I don’t know how it tastes!”

Matsushita Konosuke: "Haruta, someone is challenging you! You can't lose face for a while."

Haruta Ichiro: "Okay, it looks like I'm going to go into battle in person. You guys sit down first and I'll go prepare."

The waiter brought Bao Zixuan and Matsushita Konosuke to a private room. The two of them knelt face to face on the tatami according to the Japanese way of eating food.

Konosuke Matsushita: "Boy, should we talk about business matters first or private matters first?"

Bao Zixuan: “I don’t know in what capacity Mr. Matsushita is discussing business and private matters with me!”

Konosuke Matsushita: "Boy, wait for me here! I will talk to you about business matters as the founder of RB Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. I will talk to you about personal matters as Grandpa Miyuki Matsushita."

Bao Zixuan: "Then let's talk about business matters first! Otherwise, it won't be easy to talk about business matters after talking about private matters, and you can't let people say that you don't distinguish between public and private affairs!"

In fact, Bao Zixuan didn't know how to discuss personal matters with Matsushita Konosuke. After all, he and Matsushita Miyuki really had nothing to do with each other. We are just ordinary friends, there are just some misunderstandings.

Bao Zixuan is also a very contradictory person now. After all, he doesn't know what kind of girlfriend or wife he is looking for. Being a human being for two lifetimes made him always insecure. Afraid of losing everything in front of me at any time.

Matsushita Konosuke: "Okay! Don't be so angry, young man."

At this time, the dishes have begun to arrive one after another. Looking at these dishes, Bao Zixuan knows that this old boy Matsushita Konosuke is quite generous!

Bao Zixuan: "I know Panasonic wants to obtain the patent license for the Walkman and small CNC machine tool products. There is no problem with these, but it depends on the sincerity of Mr. Panasonic!"

Matsushita Konosuke didn't expect to go straight to the topic when he came up. It seems that he is just like the rumors outside, he is a person with a relatively impatient personality. Then I will temper your temper.

Konosuke Matsushita: "Don't worry about this now. Bluefin tuna is very famous here. Let's talk while eating."

Seeing that Matsushita Konosuke was already eating, Bao Zixuan didn't want to be hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating too. Not to mention that the food here tastes pretty good. As expected, there is no need for scholars because of the reputation.

Bluefin tuna is the largest species of tuna. The body is short and strong, its meat is delicate, rich in oil, light red in color, tastes great, and of course the price is very expensive. Even now, each fish costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Bao Zixuan ate it once when he was on a business trip to RB in his previous life. Today is the second time he ate this kind of food. I would feel sorry for myself if I didn't give you a hard time.

Bao Zixuan: "How come this is enough for anyone? Come on, 4 points. Mr. Matsushita wouldn't be so stingy about treating us!"

Konosuke Matsushita: "Are you here to discuss business or are you here to make me bleed."

Bao Zixuan: "It's okay, let's eat slowly. You don't know, I have barely eaten anything these days because of the exhibition, and I am also anxious! Heiyun is no better than Panasonic. If there is no business, I can't even support workers."

Hearing this, Matsushita Konosuke felt that this guy was quite thick-skinned. If he hadn't heard Miyuki say something about Heiyun, he would have easily been deceived by him.

Konosuke Matsushita: "It's easy to handle! How about Panasonic's investment in Heiyun? Just calculate it based on Wall Street's valuation of Heiyun."

Bao Zixuan: "No, I don't want to put a curse on myself. And Panasonic may not be able to spend that much money! Let's talk about the Walkman patent!"

Konosuke Matsushita: "Okay! What technology license does Heiyun need from Panasonic? After all, there are too many good things in our patent pool, and Heiyun only has a Walkman, and we will buy some of the finished products for small CNC machine tools."

Bao Zixuan: "I hope Heiyun can obtain Panasonic's technology and patent licensing in washing machines, air conditioners, and refrigerators, but I will use part of the cash to make up for the price difference. As for the small CNC machine tool you want, we can discuss and sell it to Panasonic no problem."

Konosuke Matsushita: "Boy, don't you think it's a little too greedy! There is only one item, and you can choose it yourself. Whether it is a washing machine, air conditioner, or refrigerator, we can exchange it with you. The choice is yours."

Bao Zixuan: "Then I would be at a huge disadvantage. After all, only Heiyun has the patent for the Walkman. And these are technologies that any large home appliance company has. Both, and Heiyun doesn't have to pay the difference. And the production lines have to be bought to me simultaneously. , I can exchange it for a small CNC machine."

Konosuke Matsushita: "Yes, but the washing machine must be excluded."

Panasonic is a leader in washing machines around the world, so it will not easily license its patents.

Bao Zixuan: "Okay."

He knew that this was the bottom line of this hometown product. After all, the core product was not that easy to get, and even if he got it, it was from someone else a few years ago.

Matsushita Konosuke: "Now we can talk about private matters! What do you think of Miyuki!"

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that the contrast between this product from his hometown was so great, and he got into the rhythm too quickly! But I also care about my granddaughter. If I become a father or grandfather in the future, I will have the same attitude!

Bao Zixuan: "Meixue is nice, but we are really ordinary friends. I believe someone has already reported to you the scene of our meeting."

"As for what you saw that day was a prank played by her roommate. Just tell me what you mean!"

Konosuke Matsushita: "What do we mean? Since you two say they are ordinary friends, I have nothing to say."

Bao Zixuan felt a lot relieved after hearing this. After all, Miyuki is a girl and the princess of Panasonic, so her reputation must be taken into consideration.

Just like that, I had a private conversation with Konosuke Matsushita and it ended. But in the end, when secretary Konosuke Matsushita came back from selling the order, his face was not very good. The two people ate for 4,800 US dollars. In fact, Matsushita Konosuke was older, and Bao Zixuan ate almost all the food alone. Fortunately, everyone is a trustworthy person.

On the morning of the next day, which was also the last day of the exhibition, Panasonic and Heiyun reached an agreement on the exchange of patents for Walkmans, refrigerators and air conditioners.

Panasonic exchanged the technology and patent licensing of an air conditioner and a refrigerator for Heiyun's Walkman technology and patent licensing. Panasonic provides the production lines for the two products and is responsible for technical guidance.

Heiyun Company exchanged 83 small CNC machine tools of equal value for these two production lines. They are all simplified production lines, with an annual output of about 80,000 to 100,000 units. However, Bao Zixuan is not afraid. He just hopes to get an intervention platform.

When negotiating with RCA in the end, Heiyun didn't have anything that RCA liked. The LCD screen license was severely extorted by RCA. For this patent that was about to expire, Heiyun Company paid US$8 million. After all, this is the form. After signing the contract with his teeth clenched, Bao Zixuan thought to himself, if mountains and rivers meet, I will get the place back sooner or later.

In fact, I don’t blame him for being angry. After all, the licensing price for Sony, Hitachi and other companies is only US$2 million. However, there is no way around this. After all, many products cannot be produced without LCD screens.

So far, Heiyun Company has perfectly achieved its goal for this exhibition. After two days of playing in Los Angeles, everyone is preparing to return to Hong Kong. Bao Zixuan is also going back to Hong Kong. The first battle for Wharf is about to begin. He is The layout was planned very early, why don’t you have a bowl of broth!
