Reborn Industrial Tycoon

In his previous life, Li Weidong accumulated a net worth of over 100 million by doing business in the industry. In the course of decades of hard work, Li Weidong has not failed, and he has also encountered many deceptive tricks.

For example, people who don't pay the final payment after receiving the goods, make fake orders to defraud quotations, create short-selling companies in order to get nothing, and even pretend to be relatives of high-ranking officials to defraud money. Li Weidong has seen all these.

There are too many cases of intrigue and deception in shopping malls, especially in the decade or so when the private economy first began to rise. Domestic laws and regulations were not perfect, and various deceptive schemes emerged in endlessly.

After experiencing so many storms and waves, Li Weidong naturally knows that it is necessary to be on guard against others. When dealing with world-class large sums like Tianfeng Company, of course he must be cautious. Such a large multinational company is not a docile little sheep.

Therefore, from the beginning, Li Weidong had no intention of just selling an article to Tianfeng Company. He had already prepared a manuscript of the "Cararo Maintenance Manual".

Carraro is Tianfeng's most popular model. When Li Weidong was a trainee at RB, he repaired many Carraros and knew the common faults of Carraro. Coupled with his experience in writing the JN162 repair manual at Huanghe Factory, Li Weidong

I can quickly write a 100-page Carraro maintenance manual.

Of course, this "Cararo Repair Manual" is very crudely written. Tianfeng Company has so many world-class automotive engineers. Li Weidong did not expect that Tianfeng Company would rely on this manual to repair Carraro. This manual is nothing more than

It was a cover for Li Weidong to collect money.

Selling an article and selling a book are completely different in nature.

A separate article about the accelerator pedal is targeted.

If this article is sold to Tian Feng Company, it can be regarded as Tian Feng Company spending hush money to shut up Li Weidong. This is equivalent to Tian Feng Company’s public relations expenses.

From another perspective, it can be said that Li Weidong extorted 25 million yen from Tianfeng Company by exploiting a design defect in the accelerator pedal. This is no different from extortion.

Selling the entire book is different. It is a copyright transfer of a literary work, which is equivalent to collecting royalties. This is completely legal.

As for the article about accelerator pedal failure, it has become part of the book content and is not specific.

Writing a book on car repair, part of it is about introducing the causes of certain faults, which is equivalent to introducing the causes of diseases in medical books, and introducing theorems in mathematics books, which is a matter of course.

This is like a paparazzi taking a photo of a celebrity cheating, and then using the photo to blackmail the celebrity for money. It is obviously an act of blackmail.

And if this paparazzi publishes a book on photography techniques and "inadvertently" includes celebrity cheating photos as an example, it would at most be an infringement of the celebrity's portrait rights, but not extortion.

It can be said that Li Weidong used this method to turn the 25 million yen into legal income, at least nominally legal, and at the same time it prevented Tianfeng Company from causing further trouble.

Masayuki Kato had no idea that Li Weidong had such a trick. When he saw the "Literary Works Transfer Authorization Agreement" and the manuscript of the "Cararo Maintenance Manual", he knew that the subsequent methods to deal with Li Weidong had already been

Totally useless.

The article on accelerator pedal failure is only part of the Carraro Repair Manual. It is legal to publish a car repair book in any country.

Tianfeng Company can't sue Li Weidong for extortion just because the maintenance manual analyzes the cause of the fault. It is normal for the car's maintenance manual to analyze the cause of the fault!

After thinking about this, Masayuki Kato really didn't want to sign the "Literary Works Transfer Licensing Agreement". Once he signed this contract, it would be useless to call the police or put pressure on the embassy. Li Weidong's 25 million days

Yuan was instantly washed away.

Li Weidong's attitude is very clear. If he does not sign this "Literary Works Transfer Licensing Agreement", Li Weidong will not do business with Yutaka. Especially when Li Weidong mentioned the words "extortion", Kato Masayuki has realized that,

Minister Mukayama's plan has failed.

"What should I do? Sign or not? If you don't sign, you can't shut Li Weidong's mouth. But if you sign, how should you explain to Minister Mukayama!" Kato Masayuki fell into a conflict.

Li Weidong seemed to see Masayuki Kato's concerns, and he said: "Mr. Kato, for Tianfeng Company, 25 million yen is just a drop in the bucket. You can buy the copyright of a Carraro maintenance manual for 25 million yen.

, it is definitely worth the money, and Tianfeng Company did not lose money in this transaction.”

Kato Masayuki remained silent, but he also knew that Tian Feng did not lose money by paying 25 million yen in hush money to settle the matter over the accelerator pedal failure.

But I gave away 25 million yen for nothing, and I felt so embarrassed!

Li Weidong continued to persuade: "Mr. Kato, no matter what instructions your boss gives you, the specific executor of this matter is you. If you complete the work that belongs to you successfully, you may not get a reward, but

At least you won't be punished, but if you screw up..."

Li Weidong smiled deliberately and then said: "I have heard a saying, which is the most appropriate to describe the workplace of RB. The credit of the subordinates is the credit of the boss, and the fault of the boss is the fault of the subordinates!"

Masayuki Kato's body shook violently, and the famous quote in "Naoki Hansawa" instantly resonated with Masayuki Kato.

In RB's workplace culture, the middle management of the company are doormats and scapegoats. As a workplace veteran in his early forties, Kato Masayuki feels the same way.

"Li Weidong is right. Although Minister Xiangshan gave the order, the specific executor is me. If things are done well and Li Sang is really sent to the hospital, Minister Xiangshan can go to the executive to ask for credit; but if it is done

If it is smashed and the accelerator pedal incident is exposed, Minister Xiangshan will definitely make me take the blame!"

Thinking of this, Masayuki Kato finally made a decision.

"Li Sang, bring the contract over here, I want to read it carefully!" Kato Masayuki said.

Li Weidong handed the contract to Masayuki Kato and said at the same time: "Mr. Kato, if you feel that it is difficult for you to explain when you sign this contract, I can provide you with information so that you can go back and explain."

"What information?" Masayuki Kato asked immediately.

"Mr. Kato, in fact, the Jinmen Automobile Factory has no intention to build a joint venture with Tianfeng Automobile. Your inspection here is nothing more than a waste of time." Li Weidong said.

"Why do you say that? I saw that officials from your foreign trade department really hope to promote this cooperation." Kato Masayuki asked puzzledly.

Li Weidong did not answer, but handed the pen to Kato Masayuki.

At this point, Kato Masayuki had no choice but to sign.

So Masayuki Kato signed the contract, and Li Weidong also accepted the three cashier's checks.

After receiving 25 million yen, he finally had his first pot of gold, and Li Weidong felt very happy.

"Li Sang, can you tell me the truth now?" Kato Masayuki asked.

"Of course the foreign trade department hopes to cooperate with Tianfeng Automobile, but the Tianfeng Automobile Factory is not willing. Mr. Kato, you must know that the foreign trade department does not have jurisdiction over the Tianfeng Automobile Factory." Li Weidong replied.

"What's going on? Li Sang, please tell me the truth. Please." Kato Masayuki said, about to bow to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong did not have the etiquette to stop Masayuki Kato. After Masayuki Kato finished bowing, Li Weidong said: "Mr. Kato, you should know that Tianjin Motors cooperated with Daihatsu Motors in Osaka to introduce a K-car, right?"

The K-car Li Weidong refers to is a Daihatsu van. This kind of light van is called a K-car in RB.

Kato Masayuki nodded, indicating that he knew about the Daihatsu van.

Li Weidong continued: "Mr. Nagato, have you ever heard that Daihatsu has a model called Charade?"
