When Li Ziwei conveyed the message that Roland Maas wanted to come to apologize to Li Mu, Li Mu was busy training the silly Li Gouzi in his yard.
Although this corgi is incomparably cute, in terms of IQ, it is not at the forefront in the dog world. It is average at best. The most basic commands such as picking up a ball or Frisbee, sitting down or shaking hands are too difficult for it. It's not difficult to get it, but the more complicated instructions are somewhat difficult.
Li Mu especially wanted Li Gouzi to learn how to pretend to be dead when shot, but after feeding him half a pack of pet biscuits, the idiot still couldn't learn it.
At this time, Li Ziwei called Li Mu. Li Mu simply threw the tennis ball far away and let Li Gouzi run to pick up the ball. Then he took out his mobile phone and answered the call.
"Mr. Li, are you busy?"
Because it was the weekend, Li Ziwei didn't want to communicate with Li Mu about work matters. She asked Li Mu to find her some matters, and she tried her best to suppress them. Only urgent matters would be conveyed to Li Mu. The main reason was that Li Ziwei I hope that Li Mu, a workaholic, can take a good rest on weekends and stop dealing with work matters endlessly.
Li Mu also knew this habit of Li Ziwei and said with a smile: "Ziwei, you rarely call me on weekends. What's important?"
Li Ziwei said: "Roland Maas' assistant sent me an email, which said that Roland Maas, chairman of the board of directors of Mars, hopes to come to China to visit you in person and express his apology to you in person."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "I just figured it out now, let him do it."
Li Ziwei said: "The other party hopes that you can give an exact time so that it can be arranged easily."
Li Mu said: "Tell his assistant that I don't have an exact time. A country as big as China is here, and a country as big as Yanjing is here. He can come anytime he wants. Does he still want to ask me for instructions? However, in Before he comes to Yanjing, I will not arrange any meetings or make phone calls with him. The purpose is just five words: we will talk after he comes."
"Okay." Li Ziwei smiled and said, "Then I know how to reply. I will communicate with them right away."
Li Mu hummed and said: "By the way, "Flying Tigers" has been completed, and Spielberg and the others are finishing the work. Please help me contact him to determine a specific departure time, and contact Air China to charter a flight to take them out. Bring Chuncheng to Yanjing, then you arrange a hotel for them to rest in Yanjing for two days, and then charter a flight to send them back to the United States."
The reason for taking Spielberg and his party to Yanjing was that Li Mu promised Du Wei that he would send Spielberg and his party to Yanjing and give her another chance to meet everyone.
Li Mu didn't know why, but he had already doted on Du Wei.
Li Ziwei said immediately: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will arrange these and let you know the specific time."
"good."
…
Roland Maas had been waiting for Li Mu's feedback. Li Ziwei directly translated Li Mu's original words into English. Li Mu's arrogant and disdainful attitude made Roland Maas' teeth ache with hatred.
He originally thought that since he had made it clear that he was willing to go to China to apologize, Li Mu would have to give him a step down no matter what he said. Even if he was given half a step to make his face look better, it would be fine if you just said welcome!
However, Li Mu just wanted to trample him and his dignity under his feet, repeatedly trampling on him, without giving the other party any steps.
Whether Mars or Roland Mars, Li Mu has long seen it clearly. He has ten thousand ways to attack Mars and Roland Mars, but Mars and Roland Mars have no channels to attack him. way.
Are you going to stop selling candies and dog food to yourself in the future? First of all, I don’t like sweets. Moreover, Li Gouzi’s current dog food is all about sponsorship. Even if Mars comes to his door, I will not pay attention to him.
Roland Maas also imagined that as a successful entity entrepreneur, Li Mu would give him some face. Now it seems that Li Mu really doesn't take him seriously at all, which makes him feel resentful.
But it's useless to hate.
The entire board of directors has voted to require Roland Maas to go to China to apologize to Li Mu.
Moreover, apologizing is not something you can just do. The board of directors has set several goals for Roland Maas that must be achieved.
First, we must obtain Li Mu’s forgiveness and let him end his hostility to Mars;
Second, restore all of Mars’ official Twitter accounts and restore Mars’ normal management authority over official Twitter accounts;
Third, cancel the keyword blocking on Weibo and Twitter;
Fourth, delete all negative news during this period. If you really can’t do that, at least try to stop Makino Technology from adding to the flames.
Roland Maas also knew very well that before these four goals were achieved, he had to keep pretending to be a grandson until the goals were achieved.
So, early the next morning, with a humiliated heart, he took his own private plane and flew from the United States to China.
This time, Roland Maas brought seven people with him, four of whom were his personal bodyguards. Two of the other three people were his secretaries and assistants, as well as his most trusted think tank and assistant, who graduated from Wharton. Thomas, the top student in the business school.
During the more than ten hours of flight to China, Roland Maas was always in a bad mood. Everyone knew the reason for his depression. As the chairman of the board of directors of a Fortune 500 company, he rushed to China all the way to report to a young man. When a person apologizes and begs for forgiveness, it's strange that he doesn't feel upset and angry.
However, no one dared to say anything to comfort him. They knew that Roland Maas loved face very much, and trying to persuade him at this time would be like slapping him in the face.
When Roland Maas' private plane landed at Yanjing Airport, it was 12 noon on Monday.
Long before Roland Maas's private plane took off, the general manager of Mars Huaxia Company immediately began to receive him. He booked the best hotel in Yanjing for Roland and his party, and at the same time sent a luxury fleet to the airport to pick him up. Complete preparations were made for Roland and his party.
Before getting off the plane, Roland Maas changed into a suit and came out of the private bedroom. He said to his assistant with a dark face: "Mia, contact the team and tell them that they will not have lunch until we finish the immigration process." After the formalities, the team went directly to Makino Technology."
The female assistant named Mia nodded and said, "I will contact Mr. White right now."
White is the CEO of Mars China Branch. He worked under Roland Maas more than ten years ago. He is very familiar with Roland Maas's style of doing things. He knows that he loves face and enjoys himself, so he prepared a sumptuous lunch for Roland in advance. ·Mas received the wind and washed away the dust. In addition, he himself also came to the airport with the motorcade to greet him.
However, White did not expect that Roland Maas would be so anxious that he would not even eat lunch and go directly to Makino Technology.
However, he did not dare to have any objections and directly issued an order to the person in charge of the team: "After receiving the chairman of the board of directors, the team will go directly to the Makino Technology headquarters."
About half an hour later, Roland Maas and his entourage completed the customs procedures and walked out of the airport terminal. White, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted Roland Maas, shook hands with Roland Maas and said, "Mr. Maas. , welcome to China, it’s been a hard journey.”
Roland Maas said with a cold face: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go to Makino Technology now and try to solve the problem today!"
White hurriedly patted the horse over and complimented: "Mr. Mas, you have come to China in person. I think Li Mu will be flattered. This matter can definitely be resolved satisfactorily in the shortest time."
Roland Maas nodded expressionlessly and said, "It would be great if Li Mu is really so sensible. If this is done early, I will set off back to the United States tonight."
"So anxious?" White couldn't help but said: "Mr. Maas, why not take the opportunity to stay in China for two more days? I will show you the scenery of China and Yanjing. I guarantee you..."
Roland Maas stretched out his hand to interrupt White, and said coldly: "I am not interested in China, and I am even less interested in Yanjing. I just want to solve this problem as soon as possible, and then return to the United States as soon as possible."
White hurriedly said: "Absolutely, in my opinion, Mr. Mars, you can leave to return to the United States tonight. When you return to the headquarters, you will be the hero of the entire Mars."
Roland Maas's expression softened slightly and said: "I don't want to be a hero of Mars. As long as this matter is resolved, the idiots on the board of directors will stop for a while!"
White hurriedly sent out another horse and said: "Mr. Mars, you are really noble and honest. If the board of directors knows your good intentions, they will be very grateful."
"Moved?" Roland Maas said disdainfully: "That's a bunch of giant babies with clothes to stretch out their hands and food to open their mouths. Do you expect them to be grateful?"
At this point, Roland Maas added: "I have no interest in whether they are grateful or not. I just want to solve Li Mu's problem as soon as possible."
White said: "Li Mu's problem should be solved easily. As far as I know about him, this young Chinese man is young and energetic, loves face, and goes against Mars. In my opinion, it is just for face. As long as you give him enough face, This can be done easily."
Roland Maas secretly complained, is he the only one who cares about face? I don’t care about face anymore
However, he did not complain, but sighed and nodded. Said: "I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible."
The motorcade drove all the way at the airport, and in less than an hour, they arrived at the downstairs of Makino Technology's headquarters. Roland Maas took a deep breath, then got out of the car, and then said to his think tank Thomas: "Thomas, you Just follow me up to see Li Mu, the others will wait where they are."
Thomas's Chinese is very good and he can basically communicate normally, so Roland Maas did not bring a full-time translator this time and planned to let Thomas do it for him.
In his opinion, the fewer people around to witness such a shameful thing, the more relieved it would be.
The two entered the office building of Makino Technology. After reporting their names at the front desk, they thought that the lady at the front desk would take them to see Li Mu immediately. However, they never expected that after confirming their ID cards, the lady at the front desk said to them. Roland Maas said: "Mr. Roland, our Mr. Li's assistant, Ms. Li Ziwei, told us that Mr. Li asked her to convey a message to you."
Roland Maas asked hurriedly: "What does Mr. Li want to convey to me?"
The lady at the front desk said politely: "Our President Li asked you to hold a press conference first, and only after you show your modesty in front of the media will he consider whether to see you."
