Chapter 1,391 Hitting a wall(1/2)
As the saying goes, bad things travel thousands of miles, but good things never go out. This is human nature.
People are always more willing to pay attention to negative things, but appear indifferent to positive things.
Therefore, although the Guo family took remedial measures as soon as possible regarding what happened in their hotel, the results were very poor.
The recent experiences of the hotels owned by the Guo family have completely become the talk of the town and the butt of jokes among people in Southeast Asian countries.
Even though they tried their best to suppress the news after the incident, the major newspapers in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong were very generous and promised not to spread the matter further.
But unfortunately, because the relevant news has been published in the newspapers, and the incident took place in the lobby of various hotels, many guests witnessed it with their own eyes.
It is impossible to completely cover up this kind of gossip. Through word of mouth, it spreads like a virus and spreads everywhere.
Not only did it cause irreparable damage to the goodwill of the Guo family, it also seriously offended the dignity of the Guo family, which naturally made the Guo family extremely unhappy.
So how to solve this matter, the Guo family had two different attitudes from the beginning.
One type is a hardliner who insists on taking revenge and going back.
He believed that no matter what the cause of the matter was, no one would dare to do such a thing to the Guo family, and they could still be safe and not pay the price.
You know, the Guo family has close relationships with many wealthy families in Hong Kong City.
For example, Mr. Huo, the most prestigious person who takes both black and white.
Therefore, these people believe that since the other party is using young and Dangerous boys from Hong Kong City, they can start from Hong Kong City and rely on their good relationships with the Guo family to make these young and Dangerous boys turn against them and serve as their witnesses.
Then take legal channels to claim compensation from the other party.
It is bound to bring the other party into disrepute and ruin his fortune.
The other type is the pragmatist, who believes that good shoes don’t step on bad shit, so there is no need to further intensify conflicts and stimulate the other party to take more extreme measures.
The foundation of each other's business is in Japan, and Japan is currently a place that the Guo family's influence still cannot cover.
Under such a situation that is out of reach, if you go to Japan to fight with the opponent, it will be a complete dive. It will get twice the result with half the effort, which will be too detrimental to the Guo family and will actually elevate the opponent's identity.
What's more, even if you win the lawsuit against the other party, what will happen?
The Guo family may not be able to receive sufficient compensation, but will pay more. Such confrontation and legal proceedings should be avoided at all costs.
It is better to make peace with the other party and stop losses in time with appropriate favorable conditions.
But no matter what, both groups have an indisputable consensus - that is their condescending attitude.
Perhaps because they have been the leading wealthy family in Asia for too long, the Guo family thinks that their descendants are prosperous and powerful. Facing the countries in Southeast Asia, they can almost be said to be privileged aristocrats.
Therefore, I feel a little contempt for others. Even in the face of the current situation, I still don't think Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin are opponents who can negotiate with them on an equal footing.
This cannot be said to be malicious, but purely out of habit. In their hearts, they think that they are superior. They can't help but think that they can send people to negotiate with the other party, which in itself is flattering the other party.
So no matter what kind of conditions they put forward, the other party should hold their noses and accept them, and be grateful.
As a result, the representatives sent by the Guo family from Japan were not very happy once they came into contact with Wu Film Factory and Tan Gong Restaurant.
You must know that this person who accepted a special mission and was so-called "fully responsible" was not even a member of the Guo family.
He was just a deputy general manager with a foreign surname who was hired by Guo (Xin) Company.
That's not all. The key point is that the vice president came to negotiate on behalf of the Guo family. In order to protect the face and interests of the Guo family, he didn't treat others as human beings at all, and the conditions he offered were very disgusting.
First, he chose the responsibility very clearly, saying that the Guo family did not know about the destruction of the restaurant, and that it was some people in Japan who made their own decisions.
There is a certain misunderstanding in this matter, and it will not be beneficial to anyone if it continues.
Therefore, he hoped that both sides could exercise restraint and resolve the matter peacefully as soon as possible.
Speaking of the damage caused by the smashing of Tan Gong Restaurant, the Guo family has always attached great importance to business cooperation with mainland China.
The Guo family was willing to pay US$80,000 to Tan Gong Restaurant for renovation, considering that Tan Gong Restaurant was a mainland enterprise.
On the other hand, the Guo family will not be held accountable for the economic losses suffered by the hotel under the Guo family's name.
However, Tan Gong Restaurant must also formally apologize to the hotels under the Kuok Group in the form of a document and promise to prevent such things from happening again.
Second, on behalf of the Guo family, he requested that Wu Studio must terminate the filming of "Crazy Rich Asians", saying that the film project must be cancelled, and that the Guo family would not make any compensation for this.
If Fog Studios insists on going its own way, it will damage the reputation of the Guo family.
Then the Guo family will not give up, and will hire a team of lawyers to defend their reputation and sue the studio, and collect evidence to file a claim against Fog Studios.
Anyway, it’s just a sentence, consider yourself unlucky, if you don’t obey, I’ll sue you until you go bankrupt.
To put it bluntly, this is a bit like the economic negotiations between China and the United States decades later. It is obvious that the United States and the United States have something to ask for, but they insist on putting on a bad air and talk about "starting from strength" in front of you.
Two more is more than two!
Needless to say, how did Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin feel when faced with such self-righteous negotiations and such brazen demands?
Naturally, they had no interest and couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
In fact, not to mention that they were unwilling to come forward to meet representatives of the Guo family.
Out of resentment for the Guo family's arrogance, Ko Okamoto wasted a week in Singapore.
Ning Weimin also planned to take the medicine according to the prescription and treat this guy well.
He taught Okamoto Akira not to say that he agrees or disagrees, but to treat the other party as if they are nothing.
Just do whatever you need to do, and just have fun with this guy.
It takes until this guy comes to his senses and gets out of here.
So even Okamoto Akira, who was responsible for receiving the other party and delivering the news at the beginning, no longer showed up, and really treated the other party like dried salted fish.
As a result, the vice president was received by the "coffee buffet" just like Akira Okamoto who took the initiative to go to Singapore to get in touch with the Kuok family.
Just two days passed, and the other party couldn't sit still anymore. His forehead was on fire every day, and he was looking for ways to contact Okamoto Akira.
However, even if he blocked Akira Okamoto, at most he would get a reply that was neither salty nor bland.
"I'm sorry, my boss thinks your request is extremely unreasonable and lacks sincerity, so it's difficult to fulfill. It's not my fault. You also said it was a misunderstanding, but you only want us to apologize. For those who damaged our store,
, but you do not impose any punishment. Is this fair? Therefore, the boss has been hesitant whether to agree to you. To be honest, my boss also wants to save face, and the possibility of final approval is really not high. Are you
Shouldn't we also discuss it with the headquarters and see if we can come up with more constructive conditions? Otherwise, I'm worried that your trip to Japan will be in vain."
With just such a move, the opponent was so helpless that he almost vomited three liters of blood.
Facing the constant urging from the Singapore headquarters to get results, and facing Akira Okamoto who was hiding from him like a hide-and-seek every day, the deputy manager who came to negotiate began to find that his job was really difficult, which was quite depressing.
Attitudes also changed dramatically.
The bossy and high-spirited attitude at the beginning was gone.
Instead, he was a little more polite and attentive.
He actually followed Akira Okamoto's request and went to communicate with the headquarters to see if he could agree to step in and order the idiot named Ikuo Shubo who smashed the restaurant to apologize to him in person.
And he became more and more active in trying to reach a consensus with Akira Okamoto in private, and hoped that he could do the work for him to communicate with Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin.
But to be honest, even if he did it, it would be useless to ask Ikuo Suho to apologize.
After this request has been fulfilled, there will be more requests waiting for him to fulfill.
How could Ning Weimin spare him so easily, and how could the Guo family give him so many authorizations.
In particular, he is proud to be a slave of the Guo family.
As long as he doesn't wake up and realize that there are people in this world who can avoid peeing in the Guo family.
As long as he still doesn't know how to respect his opponent from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, it is impossible to give conditions that can truly satisfy Ning Weimin.
In other words, the deputy general manager's failure was almost doomed from the beginning.
In a sense, he is just a tool, and it is only a matter of time before he ends up in despair and leaves here.
The only difference is whether he can understand it early and come back with dignity, or whether he can persist and eventually get out in embarrassment.
Judging from the current situation, this guy still has unrealistic desires in his mind, and he is most likely going to get out of here in embarrassment.
But on the other hand, Akira Okamoto felt really happy from the bottom of his heart.
He loved the mouse game as much as he loved golf.
Don't forget, he also encountered such treatment at the beginning.
The humiliation given to him by the Guo family is engraved in his heart, and he may never forget it in this life.
So comparing the two, how wronged and painful he felt in the past, but how relieved and happy he feels now.
He would rather repay kindness and revenge for the people. This kind of behavior really suits his taste.
In particular, he was very considerate of his subordinate's mood and actually let him personally go into battle to take revenge.
For this reason, he is willing to devote his loyalty forever.
What kind of bullshit sugar kings and Guo family are we fools?
Why are you so shameless and dare to come up to us and demand an apology?
Baga...
