Chapter 28 Not a Companion (2)

Shinchi Seiji came to Ai Fei's company again. It was at 23:35 in the evening, but this time he did not come by himself, but accompanied Matsushita Masaya to Ai Fei's office.

When meeting Matsushita Kaya, Ai Fei did not dare to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. He led Fuji Takeuchi and Nishio Yukyu to the downstairs of the company. Although it was already late at night, the lights were brightly lit in front of the open space at the door. Several cars approached and stopped at the entrance of the building.

A driver ran down first and opened the door for the passengers in the car. Panasonic Matsushita lowered his head and walked out: "Thank you for your hard work!" Ai Fei bowed first: "Welcome, Panasonic."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Matsushita also bowed politely: "Please forgive me if I bother you late at night."

Fuji Takeuchi and others followed Ai Fei and knew the purpose of Panasonic and his group. At the same time, they also knew that if this cooperation could be finally achieved, it would be a very great event for both sides. Therefore, they bowed respectfully: "Good evening!"

Ai Fei waved his hand: "Mr. Matsushita, let's go upstairs to talk? It's still too dark here."

Panasonic nodded with a smile: "I just hope that both of us can have a bright future."

"Yes, this is also the ardent hope of my colleagues and I. Mr. Matsushita, please go here."

"Thank you!" Panasonic bowed and walked into the building side by side with him.

Before they arrived, Ai Fei had sent someone to clean the company's conference room carefully. There was no air conditioner in this era. He opened the windows and opened the ceiling fan above his head to the minimum. A gust of cool breeze slowly poured in. With the sea breeze unique to Tokyo nights and a little salty and humid atmosphere, the conference room would not feel stuffy because of the sudden increase in the number of people. Instead, it added a bit of elegance and leisure to this summer night at the end of August.

Everyone sat down with the host and the host, but for a moment no one could find a suitable topic to open it. This embarrassing silence. Fuji Takeuchi coughed while seeing that it was not a matter of work: "Mr. Matsushita, before you and the lords of Yamato Company arrived, Ai Jun told me that this meeting may become an epoch-making day in Japan's construction history! The only problem is that when making the record, I don't know whether this day should be set as August 29 or 30!"

"Haha..." Everyone chuckled.

"Hey!" Matsushita also intentionally activated the atmosphere: "After Shin-jun went back to explain the situation to me, I called some people out of different bars overnight. Speaking of which, they may be full of resentment towards Ai Fei-jun's decision! Haha!"

Ai Fei burst out laughing: "I think, as long as this cooperation can be officially reached, they can even buy all their favorite bars, right?"

"Hahahaha!" Matsushita laughed. But soon, the smile gradually faded from his face: "Well said! If we can achieve this cooperation, many of us can realize our long-term wishes. But, Ai Jun, for this cooperation..."

"Ah. Yes." Ai Fei didn't have much time to circle around him here, so he should go straight to the topic: "Please forgive my presumption, Mr. Matsushita, regarding this cooperation, I think that as long as we can discuss this cooperation, both benefits and both parts will be hurt, we will definitely achieve the final success. In summary, I designed and prepared a plan that your company and Mr. Matsushita cannot refuse. Before this, I will first inform the preparation copy of what I just imagined and used to give a speech at the briefing tomorrow to all the people of Yamato Company, as a reflection of my great sincerity in this cooperation. Mr. Nishio?"

"Hi Yi!" According to the prior agreement, Nishio Yuhikawa quickly spread the big Tokyo map, and saw it clearly under the light.

Ai Fei smiled apologetically, pushed open the seat and stood up: "Paneshita, please forgive me. Due to time constraints, I can only give a live explanation. I believe that for you, who is a very orthodox Tokyoite, my explanation should be very good for you to understand what I mean."

Matsushita Naoya was a little confused about what he wanted to say. He nodded reluctantly: "Yes?"

"It's probably like this..." Ai Fei walked to the end of the long table, took the baton from Nishio Yuyou, and clicked at a corner of the Tokyo map: "Please look here, this is the location of Haneda Airport in Ota, Tokyo. The straight line distance is no more than 20 kilometers from the location of the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda, where the city center is located. Of course, the actual distance is much farther."

The Yamato company's people didn't know what he wanted to say, but just widened their eyes and listened quietly.

"...I believe that Mr. Panasonic and other lords must have noticed the changes from the country early. To be simple, a large number of cars have appeared on the streets of Tokyo. Unfortunately, for some reasons at work, I often travel back and forth in the United States and Japan. However, the benefit of this is that every time I return to China, I can always find that the country's construction and development have undergone rapid changes. Cars are one of them."

"... Of course, there are taxis. Now, taxis have become a means of transportation for many people. Some medium and long-distance travels will choose it. So, when I had to come up with a second brand new preparation copy, I thought of the existence of taxis."

"... By Showa 27, Toyota Motor's annual production has increased from less than 75,000 vehicles in Showa 25 to 224,000 vehicles last year. In less than three years, the production has tripled. This is just the production of a Toyota company. What if the production of companies such as Mazda, Isuzu and Nissan is calculated? Such numbers will increase."

"... Compared with many other countries, Japan's land area is very small, and in theory there is no room for development. This is especially true for the automobile industry. The ongoing airport expansion project in Tokyo also provides a rare opportunity for the Japanese automobile industry to a certain extent. If many people who need to travel by plane now regard taxis as a necessary choice, in the future, they will drive their own car to the airport, then take the plane away, and then take out the car after they come back, drive home or company by themselves, which is also a very fashionable trend."

"... In summary, I thought of a note that can surprise and novelty for many people, that is, in addition to the airport expansion project, we will devote part of our energy to the construction from the airport to the city... Mr. Panasonic, please listen to me."

Matsushita closed his mouth helplessly and listened to him continue to say: "Japan's economic development has entered a period of rapid development, so my expectations for the development of the automobile industry are definitely not groundless, but a reality that will become a reality in the near future. In this case, the people's demand for daily necessities such as food will gradually decrease, and replaced by spiritual materials such as excellent housing and improvement of travel conditions. Is it true that a city that can make them feel high-spirited, upward and bright will be put on the agenda faster, right? Didn't the chief official Ikeda Yutoko also proposed to increase investment in public infrastructure in the city two years ago?"

"... So, the construction of roads, especially the roads from the airport to the city center, from the dock to the city center, from the railway station to the city center, will start to build. What we have to do is to take this opportunity of the airport expansion project and put forward our expectations first and use this as an argument for us to win the final of the next round. I think any people and politicians who have a little normal emotion for their career, country and nation will not reject such a proposal."

After a long speech, he finally took back his baton and handed it to Yuyu Nishio who was on the side: "Low, Mr. Panasonic, you can ask questions."

As the head of Yamato Company, Matsushita could certainly hear the huge business opportunities hidden in his plan, but there was only one premise: his plan could be passed! The question is, is it possible? He was only thinking about it and didn't hear him at all. Or was the Shitu Chengzhi next to him touching his cheek and thinking for a while: "Ai Jun, this is a very big plan and a very grand plan. But why do you ensure that it can work? Why can it be accepted by the officials of the Provincial Government? You won't know how huge the capital guarantee and supply are needed, right?"

"I know, I know it all. That's why I take the initiative to tell you, Mr. Panasonic, that is, I hope to get your consent and work with me to jointly invest this time. The investment is not very accurate, it should be said that construction is built together. As for the issue of funds, I think that after the second round of instructions is over, our plan will inform the public through newspapers, the huge response that will cause will cause those unscrupulous bankers to actively run to our company and ask us for a loan."

Several people smiled at the same time: "Blackhearted banker? Is this what you say about such a group of people?"

Ai Fei did not laugh: "Of course, my plan still needs to be carefully modified. What I am talking about now is just a preliminary concept and overall content. There is also some data filling in the details."

Panasonic Masaya thought for a while: "If this plan can be passed in the end, Ai Jun, which project share do you think the Yamato Construction Company, led by me, can get from it?"

"First of all, the share of the airport part, I will hand over the construction rights of the airport to your company; then the road, I am talking about the construction rights of the expressway. We can each share equally in the form of 65 and 35. Well, this is my initial idea, and I still need to consult with my colleagues seriously."

Panasonic smiled embarrassedly: "Control? Why, Shi Chuanjun, is our information wrong? Isn't Ai Shi Construction Company a business of Ai Feijun?"

Ai Fei's face turned red. He didn't answer the topic, but just said a few perfunctory words awkwardly.

The overall release of the plan is very simple, and Ai Fei is not afraid of the other party eavesdropping. After all, they have been eliminated for sure. Even if Yamato intends to steal the game, he has to wait until there is another opportunity to do so. Compared with the opportunity he doesn't know when he will encounter it, it is better to be wiser.

The subsequent specific negotiations will take a lot of effort. Both parties are unwilling to give in and each holds their own views and does not relax: Yamato requires that in addition to the above two projects, the project rights of some airport halls will be added; but Ai Fei didn't know what medicine he took, but refused, and he must have his own company undertake all the main projects of the airport, including the terminal!

In the end, he squeezed him out of no way out, so he had to agree: to divide the possible highway construction share of 10 to the other party, which finally satisfies Panasonic's appetite. As a corresponding return, Yamato Company met Ai Fei's needs for materials, materials, financing and loans in all aspects. Not only that, he even took out the 9 company stocks under his name as a gift for thanking.

Fuji Takeuchi was helpless about the president's stubbornness, but as Matsushita Masaya said, Ai's company belongs to him, and others can only have the right to constituents and have no decision-making power. After the matter was over, he found a special time to come to Ai Fei's office and formally asked him.

Where is Ai Fei? He just smiled slightly: "Fujijun, the roads, whether they are used in airports or highways that travel through cities, can be completed by any construction company. Yes! In the future, there will be more and more roads in Japan, but except for the slightly higher requirements for craftsmanship on the airport runway, everything else is a generalist. It can be said that as long as there are people, any construction company can complete the construction of the road, and the competition among them will become very cruel in the future!"

"... And the airport terminal is different. As long as we can successfully complete the terminal construction as required, we can bring large orders to the company. No, it is not similar airport projects, but more orders. Whether it is commercial office buildings, civil housing, or large public facilities projects, it will become our customer orders. I cannot give up on such a potential market!"

"And..." Fuji Takeuchi was not a fool either. He continued to speak according to his thoughts: "As long as the airport project can be completed smoothly, the praise from the officials of newspapers, radio stations, and even government functional departments will become free advertisements?"

"That's right. Do you know that such a propaganda offensive can't be bought with no amount of money?" Ai Fei's tone elevated: "Fujijun, as long as this project can be completed smoothly, our success will be unstoppable! Even..."

"What?"

"Nothing." Ai Fei finally took back the words he wanted to say. After all, the next step of operation seemed too mysterious to others. Even Fuji Takeuchi, who had been following him for the longest time and had an in-depth understanding of his abilities, would he feel incredible when he heard such words?

More than twenty hours passed in a flash. On the afternoon of the 30th, after a day and night of busyness, Ai Fei became more and more energetic, without any fatigue and fatigue caused by lack of sleep.

The car arrived at the gate of the Congress Hall. Ai Fei was about to get off the car, but Yuuhi Nishio, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and called him: "Mr. President?"

"Hey? Is there anything wrong? Nishio-kun?"

"Hi Yi!" The environment in the car was much smaller, and Yuki Nishio could only bow his head deeply in the seat: "Mr. President, because my work is not good, it has caused trouble for you and the operation of the company. Please allow me to apologize!"

"I can't say anything to bother you." Ai Fei waved his hand to Hideo Watanabe outside, signaling him to wait a while before opening the door, and then said to Yuyu Nishio: "If you want to be responsible, I, the president, should bear all the responsibility. I just thought that Yamato might be tampering with it, but did not notice the existence of Kawasaki Company. If an old company like him does not have strong abilities, how can he survive to this day?"

"...So, this is my negligence, and it cannot be blamed on the staff." Ai Fei scratched his head bitterly: "But this is good, it gives me greater motivation!"

“Eh?”

"Xiyo-kun, do you know? In the 24 hours since yesterday, I have thought a lot. A newly emerging company like us, which has neither a lot of experience, strong qualifications, and a lot of manpower, is impossible to win this project with just a few ideas that may cause people to discuss and surprise. Even if we take it down, we will definitely not be able to complete it! Not to mention other things, just an airport runway project will turn our final results into a joke for everyone! Moreover, if this happens, the last way out of Ai Shi Construction Company will be to close the door."

When Nishio Yuyu heard what he said was funny, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, and felt something was wrong, so he quickly restrained himself.

"... But now, the situation has changed a little bit. With the joining of famous construction companies like Yamato and building with us, I have a greater sense of success. Of course, this kind of grasp is only a grasp of the final construction and work results, rather than being able to win this project bid."

"you?"

Ai Fei burst out laughing: "It's kidding. Oh, let's go down. Everyone outside is anxious."
