535 [Life and Death]
Dingdang!
Song Zhichao tapped his finger on the cocktail glass, and then smiled and said to Steve who was extremely entangled in his heart: "Steve, what are you waiting for? Colombia needs you and needs you to continue to lead everyone, of course, if you want."
Steve: "…"
I can't believe my ears.
He never expected that Song Zhichao would be so magnanimous, and actually expressed his continuation to the past and allowed himself to continue to lead Sony Entertainment, oh no, tie Colombia.
After being shocked, Steve was moved and excited, and no longer hesitated. He walked directly to Song Zhichao and said, "I do!" He walked from Akio Morita to behind Song Zhichao-even forgot to say to Akio Morita, the old boss, Akio Morita,: "I'm sorry!"
Akio Morita quietly watched the senior Sony Entertainment executives betrayed him one by one. In addition to the American ghosts, there were even two Japanese.
Again, Akio Morita understood a profound truth - having milk is a mother.
Faced with Song Zhichao's unscrupulous provocation, Kimura Nakao and others who were originally arrogant could not bear it. Especially when they saw so many people, they betrayed the team directly in front of Akio Morita, and could no longer bear it. Kimura Nakao roared angrily: "Baga!"
However, before Kimura Nakao and others continued to get angry, Akio Morita spoke, and he said to Song Zhichao: "There are many interesting things in this world. I am very old and have experienced a lot, so what I want to say to you is four words - extreme happiness leads to sorrow."
Song Zhichao smiled slightly, "Is that so? I think it's better to be a good person."
Akio Morita smiled, "There is a Chinese idiom for you, which means that when bad things pass, good things will come, but do you know that things in this world are often the best things!"
Song Zhichao looked at Akio Morita who looked calm and seemed to have thought of something in his heart, and the smile on his face slowly condensed.
Akio Morita refused to let it go and continued to say to Song Zhichao: "You acquired Colombia just to have its huge copyright library, but if you lose it at all, what's the use of even getting the copyright library?" She smiled contemptuously.
Song Zhichao's ominous feeling became stronger and stronger.
"What do you mean?"
"What does it mean?" Akio Morita stared at Song Zhichao, and his old eyes shot out a sharp light. "You will soon know what I mean."
Song Zhichao: “…”
At this moment, Jin Jiu suddenly came over quickly - almost hitting the waiter holding a cocktail. When he saw Song Zhichao, he hurriedly said, "Brother Chao, your phone number!" Then he added, "It was called from Hong Kong."
Song Zhichao glanced at Akio Morita suspiciously.
Akio Morita made a call and said to him: "Respond - it seems that your call is really important, isn't it?"
Song Zhichao: “…”
He reached out to take the phone call from Jin Jiu, and then Zhu Fugui's anxious voice came from inside...
...
I don't know how long it took.
At least for Song Zhichao, it seems as long as a century.
He hung up the phone, then looked up at the sneering Akio Morita and asked, "Did you know this before?"
Akio Morita did not deny it or admit it, but just smiled and said, "Song Zhichao, you are too strong, so you should know that you have more than me, let alone Hong Kong is your base camp, and it is understandable that someone wants to defeat you in the base camp."
After a pause, Akio Morita continued: "If I guess correctly, this is just the beginning - your VCD was sealed by customs and could not be shipped to the United States, how can you do business? Then, the US market suddenly had so many profit margins, and those imitation VCDs would become popular and seize your business. You have been tired and worked hard for several years, but in the end they helped others make wedding dresses. Do you think this is ridiculous, sad, or sad?" Akio Morita looked at Song Zhichao, his tone full of irony.
Song Zhichao took a deep breath. At this moment, even if Akio Morita said he didn't know about this, he didn't believe it, because Akio Morita said that he had blocked his way.
...
The phone call was just called by Zhu Fugui. Zhu Fugui told Song Zhichao on the phone that when the Vanke VCD produced in the mainland electronics factory was shipped to the United States through the Hong Kong free trade port, it was seized by Hong Kong Customs for "unknown tariffs."
As one of the most well-known free trade ports in the world, Hong Kong's coastal cargo throughput is among the best in Asia, and the tax rates for import and export goods are generally very low. Some even have duty-free goods and preferential tariff policies, which attracts the concentration of goods from all over the world.
Similarly, goods transported from Hong Kong by sea generally pay extremely low tariffs, and can travel unimpededly in major ports.
Song Zhichao's foreign trade business has always relied on the shipping network introduced by the Huo family for transportation, such as to Russia, Japan, the United States, and other parts of the world.
Tariffs will also differ according to the different goods and goods. Products like Vanke VCD should be high-end electronic goods, so the tariffs are two or three times higher than ordinary daily necessities such as beverages, wine, clothes, etc.
In order to obtain the maximum profit, the Wanda Foreign Trade Logistics Company, a subsidiary of Song Zhichao, will carry out some "foot-me-mixed" behind-the-scenes operations. When customs are issued, Vanke VCD is mixed with essentials such as beverages, clothes and wine. In this way, you can enjoy the low-tax policy of the Hong Kong and British government. After it is shipped out, it will be split on the sea and shipped to the United States.
Song Zhichao knew very well about this matter. There were not many people who were innocent in business. Moreover, the target of tax evasion this time was the Hong Kong and British government, not the future Hong Kong government, so Song Zhichao turned a blind eye, but unexpectedly he was stuck today.
Who is Song Zhichao? He can not give face to the Huo family in Hong Kong - you should know that those who help Song Zhichao do shipping are all introduced by Big Boss Huo. He dares to use tariffs to check on Song Zhichao's company. Except for the few super bosses who can count by Hong Kong with their fingers, there is absolutely no one else.
The first time, Song Zhichao thought of the Li family - don't forget that Hong Kong is known as the "Li Family City", and only the Li family dared to touch the people under the Huo family.
Secondly, Akio Morita said something clearly in his words just now.
Vanke VCD cannot be shipped in the United States, and the US market is in short supply. At this time, imitations will appear - you don’t need to guess, Sony must be behind the imitation. Because only Sony has super manpower and material resources, it is imitating the VCD that has just been launched in such a short time.
In other words, Akio Morita is about to take advantage of the situation. When Song Zhichao couldn't handle the Hong Kong customs, he would let Sony's fake VCD occupy the US market. If you want to sue others for technical infringement, then you can go to a lawsuit. If you fight this kind of intellectual property lawsuit in the United States, it is likely that it will take several years to fight. At that time, it is estimated that the whole of the United States will be rampant, and even if you win, it will be useless.
In the end, as Akio Morita said, Song Zhichao was busy for several years and made wedding dresses for others.
...
Song Zhichao's mind flew around and quickly figured out the causes and consequences. It can be said that he had encountered a real headache at this moment. To be precise, it was related to the life and death of the company.
what to do?
