Zhang Wenhao himself can also figure out what the Japanese government's real intention is to ask the Chinese government to mediate and interview him. It is nothing more than to end Dongchen's completely hostile relationship with Japanese companies and the Japanese market, so as to alleviate domestic tensions.
economic crisis.
In international politics and trade, dialogues between a country's government and other countries' companies often occur, but in most cases, the government's status and perspective are higher than those of the companies. Most of the so-called dialogues are trade cooperation.
But this is the first time that a government has surrendered to a company.
The main culprit of Japan's Great Depression is the Dongchen Group. The Japanese government has also seen the reality clearly after its own feeble attempts. They are unable to solve such a serious economic crisis and unemployment problem in the country. Only Dongchen can do this at this time.
Save Japan, but the Japanese government is also struggling. Is Dongchen really willing to do this?
The answer is of course no.
Officer Liu conveyed the instructions to Zhang Wenhao's senior leaders. Judging from the meaning of the senior leaders' words, they firstly did not want Dongchen to really stop attacking Japan, and secondly, they did not want to compete with the interests of Dongchen and Japanese companies.
, rising to a political level, or a comprehensive trade level, so I sent a message to Zhang Wenhao, hoping that Zhang Wenhao could find a solution.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Wenhao naturally could not simply refuse the Japanese request for a meeting as before. Moreover, the most perfect invasion mentioned by Officer Liu also gave Zhang Wenhao some new ideas. He was willing to "help" Japan.
Limited solution to the current predicament. But he will never make a loss-making business and wants Dongchen to take a step back in the field he is currently involved in. Then he must let Dongchen take a step forward in other fields.
After meeting with Director Liu, Zhang Wenhao scheduled the meeting with the Japanese government in Yanjing three days later. Director Liu returned to Yanjing first after receiving Zhang Wenhao's exact answer, but Zhang Wenhao hurriedly met with Su Ruoran's mother Nie Minhui
Get in touch.
Nie Minhui was in Brazil at this time, conducting a new round of iron ore import price negotiations with Vale. Since Japanese companies account for a large proportion of hidden assets in the world's iron ore field, Nie Minhui's position in the iron ore industry
The problem is huge. Well-known Japanese conglomerates such as Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Itochu Corporation, Sumitomo Corporation, and Mitsubishi Corporation all control the equity or mining rights of the iron ore industry in Brazil or Australia. Therefore, these Japanese consortiums are always secretly involved.
To promote the rise in international iron ore prices, on the one hand, the Japanese consortium secretly promoted the rise in iron ore prices. On the other hand, the Japanese consortium also offered profits to local Japanese steel companies. The final result was that Japanese steel companies did not bear the burden of iron ore.
The impact of rising iron ore prices. The steel costs of other countries will be directly affected by rising iron ore prices, and Nie Minhui's Zhongyu Group is directly affected.
Although during this period, Zhongyu Group has continued to gain greater market share in the field of high-end steel, the core of profits in the steel industry still comes from ordinary steel. The market competition for ordinary steel is very stressful, and iron ore is directly related to the company's production.
Cost. Therefore, once the iron ore market changes, steel companies will be greatly disrupted. This time, Brazil's Vale plans to increase iron ore prices by 25%. BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and other companies have also responded,
This round of negotiations has attracted the participation of steel companies from China, the United States, Japan and Russia. However, Chinese steel companies are the most passive, because other countries have their own hidden assets and shares in the source of iron ore. Once the iron ore
If the price of iron ore increases, their companies that control the source of iron ore will gain greater profits from it. With government intervention, their domestic steel companies can secretly offset the impact of the increase in iron ore prices through various means.
Costs rise.
If Japanese consortiums such as Mitsui & Co., Ltd. manipulate the price of iron ore, their hidden assets at the source of iron ore will bring them huge profits globally, and their relationship with Nippon Steel and other companies is extremely close, that is to say
, Nippon Steel can basically ignore the rise in iron ore prices. While Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and other consortiums have made huge profits, they only need to sacrifice relatively small profits, so that Nippon Steel can continue to operate at constant costs.
But as a result, China's steel industry will suffer heavy losses. Domestic steel-making costs will increase, steel prices will rise across the board, and steel export prices will also have to rise due to rising costs, thus losing their competitive advantage with foreign companies.
, this impact will not only affect steel companies, but also the entire steel-related industry chain.
Chinese companies have repeatedly tried to get involved in the operation of iron ore source capital, trying to increase their control over the source industry through acquisitions and shares. However, Japanese consortiums have repeatedly obstructed it, making the good wishes of Chinese companies have been blocked again and again.
It came to nothing. Every artificially manipulated iron ore price increase has brought huge blows and losses to Chinese steel companies.
This time, Nie Minhui also hoped to curb or delay the rise in iron ore prices through multi-party negotiations. However, several days of negotiations did not yield any results. Many domestic steel companies angrily cursed, but iron ore mines in Brazil and Australia
However, stone companies do not give Chinese companies any chance at all, and price increases are inevitable.
Hearing Nie Minhui's troubles, Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "Aunt Nie, prepare to return to China tomorrow. In three days, Dongchen will directly interview the Japanese government in Yanjing. This time, I will help you solve this problem once and for all.
"
"How to solve it?" Nie Minhui asked in surprise and said: "The Japanese government is definitely not here to discuss the iron ore issue with Dongchen. You have been vertically attacking the Japanese economy. I'm afraid they have already hated you.
.”
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "I'm going to change my routine this time. I have a rough new idea. Let's discuss it in person when you come back."
Nie Minhui also agreed and said: "There is no point here anymore. The bosses of several domestic state-owned steel companies are also preparing to go home. I will go back tonight. I will arrive tomorrow afternoon, Yanjing time."
"Okay." Zhang Wenhao said, "Then I will fly to Yanjing at noon tomorrow. Let's meet in the manor and discuss it in detail."
...
The next day, Zhang Wenhao flew from Zhonghai to Yanjing, and the Japanese government had received a clear reply from the Chinese government. Dongchen was willing to have a face-to-face meeting with the Japanese government, which was scheduled for two days later.
The Japanese government was originally planning to send a professional government economic team to negotiate with Dongchen this time, and to keep the Japanese government's meeting with Dongchen as low-key as possible. However, Dongchen did not give the Japanese government such low-key information.
By chance, Zhang Wenhao had just landed in Yanjing and immediately called Long Xiaoyue to issue a public statement on the matter, which directly put the Japanese government in an extremely embarrassing position.
World media have reported on this one after another. The content is almost the same, that is: the Japanese government tried to find a way out of Japan's economic depression and crisis, but after the US$100 billion bailout failed, the Japanese government can only pin its hopes on
Yesterday, Dongchen officially agreed to the Japanese government's request for a meeting. The two sides will hold a face-to-face meeting in Yanjing two days later. This is also a rare event in history between a government and a private enterprise.
The dialogue, and you don’t need to guess, is that this is the Japanese government submitting to Dongchen Group. Asking Dongchen to stop its economic attack on Japan, or choose a cooperative approach in disguise to solve Japan’s increasingly severe economic problems.
The Japanese government was very angry and embarrassed by Dongchen's noise. They wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible, but Dongchen directly revealed the meeting between the two parties with a big mouth. This made the Japanese government globally
It’s so embarrassing. Just think about it, which country would give in to a company? I’m afraid this is the first time that Japan has done so.
Although the Japanese government was very angry at Dongchen's actions, the fact was that they had to bite the bullet and continue to prepare the negotiation plan for China in two days. Moreover, in order to truly solve the problem, the team sent by the Japanese government this time was composed of
Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Mari Kaieda led the team in person. Its members include more than a dozen key officials from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, economists, and leaders of many Japanese companies such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Panasonic, Sony, Canon, etc. It can be said that the scale is very large.
It is so huge that it is comparable to an economic visit between the two countries.
At the same time, Zhang Wenhao met Nie Minhui at the manor. This time he tried to make an exchange with the Japanese, one of which had a great relationship with Nie Minhui.
Nie Minhui didn't know what Zhang Wenhao's intention was, so when they met, she couldn't wait to ask: "Wen Hao, what are your plans for the meeting with the Japanese government representatives in two days?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "Aunt Nie, this is why I hurriedly asked you to return to China." As he said, Zhang Wenhao said: "The Japanese government can no longer bear it. The trillion-dollar economy has suffered a devastating blow, and millions of
The population is unemployed and they have no way to make a comeback. The only one who can really solve the problem now is Dongchen. And since they want Dongchen to take action, they must pay a certain price. I have two tentative conditions. One is to require Japanese companies
, the consortium transfers all its property rights and shares in the iron ore field, and Dongchen takes them all according to the order. The other one is that Dongchen wants to fully acquire all unsustainable enterprises in Japan, and I will only give the current market value.
50% of.”
Nie Minhui said with some confusion: "It is difficult for the Japanese government to directly interfere with companies and consortiums such as Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Itochu Corporation, Sumitomo Corporation, Mitsubishi Corporation, etc. It is impossible for them to be willing to transfer their rights and interests in the iron ore industry.
Give it to Dongchen, and if you buy their company at such a low price, it is tantamount to taking advantage of the situation, how can they accept it?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "The biggest temptation I can give them is jobs. This alone can make them make a lot of concessions and sacrifices."
Speaking, Zhang Wenhao explained: "Take Toyota as an example. Before the layoffs, Toyota's number of employees in Japan exceeded 150,000, but now there are less than 20,000 left. In other words, they have more than 20,000 employees in Japan alone.
130,000 jobs were directly lost. This does not include the jobs lost by suppliers in Toyota's entire industry chain, which totaled at least more than 200,000. If Toyota died, the industry chain that relied on Toyota for survival would also be
All are dead. If Dongchen fully acquires Toyota and then converts Toyota into a production base of Dongchen, it will be able to make up for the 200,000 missing jobs in Japan. Judging from the current economic situation in Japan,
Look, they want to provide 200,000 jobs and require an investment of 100 billion US dollars. But as long as Dongchen is willing to transfer certain orders to the Toyota factory for production, these 200,000 jobs can be restored immediately, as can other companies.
Similarly, if I am willing to let companies like Sony, Panasonic, and Canon manufacture for Dongchen, then the hundreds of thousands of jobs they have lost can be restored immediately. If the Japanese government agrees to my request, I can restore one million for them.
jobs.”
Nie Minhui thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "You fully acquire these companies and then restart their production operations in Japan. For the Japanese government, the biggest benefit is that jobs have been restored. Once jobs are restored,
The pressure on the domestic economic situation will be reduced a lot, and even if their companies suffer heavy losses, their people's livelihood can still be protected."
"Yes." Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "If I provide one million jobs, it will be enough to make the Japanese government breathe a sigh of relief. However, these one million jobs are not given in vain. I will fully invest in their enterprises."
After the acquisition, these one million jobs belong entirely to Dongchen. If I put them on the job, they will create benefits for Dongchen, and I also have the absolute initiative to lay them off at any time. The initiative is still there.
In my hand."
Nie Minhui couldn't help but ask: "Then do you think they will agree to your first condition?"
"Yes." Zhang Wenhao replied without hesitation: "Although the decision-making process will be extremely painful for them, I believe that in order to take the overall situation into consideration, they will definitely agree. In this way, Dongchen will gradually transform Japan into an OEM
base, give them the lowest profit, and let them work for Dongchen. The initial number will be one million people, and later, it may be millions. Moreover, in the automotive, electronics and other industries, only Dongchen’s products can truly be successful in the market.
Therefore, Dongchen is the only one in the world who can give Japan’s millions of unemployed people a way to survive. Apart from Dongchen, no one else can do this. Just imagine, if there are millions of people in this country working for
Dongchen works and relies on Dongchen for survival, so it is only a matter of time before they are assimilated by Dongchen."
