Nippon Steel is a world-class well-known company in the steel field. In the past, it was really strong. It was supported by chaebols who controlled a large share of iron ore. When Chinese companies were forced to accept high-priced iron ore,
, although on the surface they purchase iron ore at high prices, in fact, their costs are much lower than Chinese companies. In addition, their own production capacity and level are super strong, which has always been difficult for ordinary companies to surpass.
But even so, it is just a thing of the past. Japan's manufacturing industry has suffered a huge impact. Industries such as automobile manufacturing and shipbuilding that require a large amount of metal materials have declined rapidly, causing Nippon Steel to lose a large amount of profits. Dongchen has
Production bases around the world have not purchased even one kilogram of steel from Nippon Steel. This has virtually caused Nippon Steel to lose a large number of old customers, because those old customers are now either acquired by Dongchen or Dongchen.
Just follow the lead and don't deal with Nippon Steel at all.
This has become an opportunity for Zhang Wenhao. Zhang Wenhao has long believed that when the business encounters huge difficulties, the bigger the business, the faster it will fall. For the same two companies, one has 20 people.
, a company with 20,000 people can cut off 50% of their market. A company with 20 people can easily make adjustments, but a company with 20,000 people cannot. Nippon Steel is in such a situation now.
In addition, the biggest goal of the Japanese government now is how to create more jobs, and there is no time to take into account the situation that Nippon Steel is currently facing. Therefore, if Zhang Wenhao proposes to use enough jobs in exchange, the Japanese government
Nippon Steel will inevitably be abandoned for the sake of the overall situation.
Nie Minhui thought for a moment, and was quite interested in Zhang Wenhao's plan, and said: "If we can win Nippon Steel, it will definitely be a qualitative leap for Zhongyu. It's just that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. I
I’m worried that Zhongyu doesn’t have the ability to win it.”
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Wenhao said: "I will run this matter. If the operation is successful, Nippon Steel will be handed over to Zhongyu for management."
"Sure!" Nie Minhui smiled excitedly and said, "In this way, I will transfer the domestic high-end steel production line to Zhongchen to produce more higher-end new materials."
Just when Zhang Wenhao was planning to take over Nippon Steel, something happened in Japan that shocked the whole country.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been under tremendous pressure from internal public opinion in recent times. Many people accuse him of being responsible for Japan's economic depression. Coupled with domestic conflicts, Abe has been looking for opportunities to divert the attention of the domestic people.
line of sight, and the advent of Japan's new tank is definitely the best choice now to attract the attention of the people and enhance cohesion.
Japan's Type 10 tank was mass-produced a few years ago. The Type 10 tank at that time could be one of the world's advanced tanks, but it was definitely not top-notch. However, after Mitsubishi Heavy Industries obtained the special steel alloy from Dongchen, Mitsubishi
Heavy Industry decided to completely transform the Type 10 tank. All mechanical transmission parts were made of Dongchen steel alloy. In conjunction with the characteristics of Dongchen steel alloy, a large number of rectifications were made to the tank. After actual testing, the rectified Type 10 tank had better power performance.
In terms of performance, it is already on par with Germany's latest Panther tank.
Shinzo Abe has also continued to benefit from the Japanese media in recent days, and has extensively publicized the advanced nature of the improved version of the Type 10 tank. This has also attracted a lot of national attention as expected, and has more or less reduced the government's criticism.
In recent days, the Japanese media has been following and interviewing the extreme tests of six improved versions of the Type 10 tanks, almost in the form of a live broadcast, broadcast uninterrupted to the people across the country. At the beginning, all parameters of the improved version of the Type 10 tanks were world-class or even world-class.
Top-notch, but after several days of public testing, six tanks were completely disabled within two hours one after another in front of the entire country!
On the screen, the improved version of the Type 10 tank, which was heroic and moving forward courageously one second, suddenly collapsed completely and could no longer move in the next second. The public watched as six improved versions of the Type 10 tank were paralyzed one after another in a short period of time.
Accusations immediately spread, and the Japanese government did not expect that a well-planned show of strengthening the country would end in such a shocking way, which made Shinzo Abe furious!
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was the first to be held accountable by the government. Shinzo Abe even scolded Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in front of the cabinet for exacerbating the domestic situation that already had deep grievances, and demanded that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries thoroughly investigate the real reason why the improved versions of the Type 10 tanks were paralyzed one after another.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries started an investigation in the face of huge national pressure, but the results came out quickly.
The metal fatigue of the transmission system caused the complete collapse of the entire transmission system!
This result greatly puzzled the Japanese cabinet. Outsiders did not know, but they knew that the improved transmission device of the Type 10 tank used strategic resources secretly imported from Dongchen. The durability of this steel
The performance is so good that it is impossible to reach the limit of metal fatigue in such a short period of time! These six improved versions of the Type 10 tanks have been tested for so many days in fully enclosed, semi-enclosed and fully open environments since they were rolled off the assembly line.
There was no problem at all, so why did it suddenly collapse completely?
Shinzo Abe loudly rebuked the head of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries at an emergency cabinet meeting, saying: "Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has always been Japan's largest defense weapons manufacturer, and you are also responsible for the development and manufacturing of the improved version of the Type 10 tank. Now, the domestic people
Everyone is asking you to give a satisfactory result, but you actually said it was because of metal fatigue! Isn't this going to be laughed at by the international community? The total life of the tank is only nearly a thousand hours, and then the transmission system completely collapsed. Which country
There has never been such a disgraceful incident with our tanks!”
The head of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries looked ashamed and a little aggrieved and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, although this sounds incredible, the reason why the six improved Type 10 tanks were paralyzed is indeed because
Due to metal fatigue, our professionals dismantled these six tanks. The original extremely strong transmission gears have become as hard as plastic, not to mention carrying the high power of more than a thousand horsepower of the diesel engine, even one-tenth of it.
The power can’t support it either.”
"How could it be?" Shinji Abe frowned and asked, "Didn't these steel alloys cost a lot of money to buy from Dongchen? Your Mitsubishi Materials person in charge also verified it at the time.
However, Dongchen’s steel alloy does have extremely strong tolerance, which is not comparable to other steel alloys today. However, how long did it take for the steel alloy to turn into a hard plastic?”
"That's true." The person in charge of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries said helplessly: "We can't figure out why. It feels like a cow can become knocked down by a fly, but that's the fact. So, we suspect
, Dongchen must have tampered with the batch of steel alloys sold to us."
"You moved your hands and feet?!" Shinsi Abe couldn't help but asked: "Is there such a thing that can be done? One second is steel, the next second is plastic. Can you make such hands and feet?"
The person in charge of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries said: "We can't, but I believe Dongchen can. They must have done special tricks to prevent us from discovering the fatal trap of this batch of steel alloys in a short period of time. Only at a certain time
, this kind of fatal trap will appear."
Shinzo Abe asked again: "How were the steel alloys imported from Dongchen used?"
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries replied: "We used that batch of steel alloys to upgrade the power system and transmission system of the Type 10 tank, and also upgraded the transmission system of the Aegis-class destroyer and the transmission system of the submarine."
Abe asked with a horrified look on his face: "Have they all been used?"
The person in charge of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries also realized the seriousness of the problem and blurted out: "Yes, all of them have been used. Because the original purchase price was extremely high and it was extremely difficult to obtain, so even the leftover materials were used to the maximum extent."
We used some scraps to complete the upgrade of some small combat machinery, and even upgraded some parts of the F-15 fighter jet."
Shinsi Abe quickly asked: "Have there been any problems with other machines using this steel alloy?"
"Not yet." The person in charge of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries explained: "Because extended strike weapons and equipment such as destroyers, submarines and fighter jets are relatively sensitive to Japan, we have always been very low-key. This time the improved version of the Type 10 tank
, it is because of your request that we accelerated the testing and continuously broadcast it to the public. Therefore, in terms of usage time, these six improved versions of Type 10 tanks have been used the longest. If Dongchen is really here
If there are manipulations inside, and it takes a certain amount of time to be exposed, I think we will have more equipment using Dongchen steel alloy materials to have the same fault."
"Intensify testing!" Shinzo Abe yelled: "Calculate the usage time of other machines using Dongchen Steel Alloy, let the machine that has been used the longest but has not had any accidents run 24 hours a day, and take a look.
The same problem won’t happen!”
A cabinet member said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, currently investigating whether Dongchen has tampered with that batch of steel alloys is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is how we can give the people a satisfactory answer. The government has vowed to say,
The improved version of the Type 10 tank is one of the most advanced tanks in the world, but it has not yet been officially put into use. All six tanks tested have major malfunctions, and the people need a reasonable explanation."
Shinsi Abe picked up the tea cup in front of him and threw it to the ground. He cursed angrily: "It must be Dongchen! It must be their tricks! Think about it, Dongchen's attitude towards Japan some time ago was completely...
It's all a hostile situation. With Dongchen having such an attitude, how could he be willing to sell us steel alloys of extremely important strategic significance for a little money?! Our original transaction with Dongchen was privately managed by the shell companies of both parties.
It was completed under the pretext of normal steel import and export trade. According to the shell company in the contract, no information about Dongchen’s involvement could be found at all. Moreover, we illegally imported prohibited items from Dongchen, which itself
It is a major diplomatic matter. In this case, even if we can be sure that Dongchen is causing trouble, we have no choice! We can only choose to swallow our anger."
"Then who is responsible for this?" said a cabinet member: "Someone has to stand up and take responsibility for this incident and take the blame."
After everyone thought about it, they couldn't find a good solution for a while.
Judging from the current domestic questioning situation, the Japanese government must give a credible statement as soon as possible to convince the people of the country. However, the saddest thing is that it cannot tell the truth, and there is no fundamental evidence to support it.
, In this way, if the Japanese government wants to give the people a satisfactory explanation, it will definitely need a scapegoat.
At this time, Shinzo Abe said: "On the surface, the steel materials used by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to produce national defense weapons are almost all made by Nippon Steel. Moreover, this time the improved version of the Type 10 tank, although it uses
The material is provided by Dongchen, but it is claimed to be from Nippon Steel. In this way, if Nippon Steel can resist this scapegoat, the people should believe it."
The person in charge of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was extremely surprised and asked: "You mean to make the real physical causes of this incident public to the world, but Nippon Steel is required to resist the blame for such inferior materials?"
Shinzo Abe asked: "Otherwise? If Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is willing to resist, I have no objection. You can say that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has a fatal flaw in the design of the transmission system. In that case, people across the country will fall into great panic and panic."
Amidst the scolding, the pillar enterprise of national defense would actually make such a fatal mistake that is difficult to understand and forgive. So, what is the situation with Japan's other weapons and equipment? Are they reliable? If the people think so, then they
You will lose your sense of security, and in turn, you will also lose your sense of security and trust in the government and cabinet!”
Having said this, Shinzo Abe added: "So at this time, sacrificing Nippon Steel is the best solution. There is no other way. We use Nippon Steel's raw material manufacturing as having fatal defects and shift the responsibility to Nippon Steel."
Japan Steel has claimed that this inferior raw material with fatal flaws is only used in the improved version of the Type 10 tank. In this way, the public will not doubt that other defense equipment produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is reserved for Mitsubishi.
A way to survive.”
The person in charge of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries obviously couldn't bear it, saying: "Nippon Steel is already suffering a lot. If they are allowed to take the blame again, I'm afraid they will never be able to stand up again."
"The overall situation is the most important thing!" Shinsi Abe blurted out: "We must give the people an explanation, and it is an explanation that can minimize the people's doubts and worries! At this time, Nippon Steel is the most suitable scapegoat candidate! This must be
The possible serious consequences of this incident are nothing to sacrifice Nippon Steel."
The cabinet also understands Shinzo Abe’s approach. If a plane crashes due to its own reasons, and the public comes to the conclusion that the plane itself has fatal flaws, then the public will have negative feelings about this aircraft model and the company that produces it.
Everyone will lose trust, but if the public comes to the conclusion that the pilot's improper operation caused the plane crash, then the public will not think too much about the aircraft model itself.
This is the same reason why Samsung airliners and McDonnell Douglas airliners were eventually withdrawn from the market due to too many crashes. Although aircraft like the 737, 747, and 320 had many crashes, they never caused the public to lose confidence.
I feel pity for Nippon Steel, who was caught in Zhang Wenhao's scheme. Unexpectedly, before Zhang Wenhao's scheme came to pass, it was severely deceived by its own people.
A few days later, the Japanese government announced an investigation into the collective malfunction of the improved version of the Type 10 tank. The announcement stated: "Because the raw materials for the transmission components of the improved version of the Type 10 tank are supplied by Nippon Steel, and Nippon Steel is in the use of this raw material.
There were fatal design loopholes in design and production, which caused the transmission components of the improved version of the Type 10 tank to age too quickly, which led to this extremely regrettable incident for the Japanese government. The Japanese government also expressed extremely strong disapproval of Nippon Steel.
We were dissatisfied and issued a huge fine of 3 billion yen to Nippon Steel."
When the media reported this investigation report, in order to avoid making the public suspicious, they also took photos of the severely aged transmission parts. An investigator lifted a huge transmission gear and threw it to the ground. The gear instantly broke into four pieces.
, Immediately, the investigator said to the camera with great indignation: "This is the steel alloy produced by Nippon Steel. Its characteristics after aging do not even meet the requirements for bicycle gears, but it is such a material with fatal flaws.
, but it was installed into Japan’s most advanced main battle tank, and the results can be imagined.”
Although the Japanese government did not actually fine Nippon Steel a dime, and even gave Nippon Steel a huge subsidy for this purpose, the price for Nippon Steel taking the blame was extremely painful. Nippon Steel was originally in Japan
In the eyes of the public, it has an excellent reputation and popularity, but because of this incident, Nippon Steel has become Japan's Sanlu milk powder, like a rat crossing the street, everyone wants to beat it.
Nippon Steel, which has taken the blame, does not dare to complain. After all, the overall situation is the top priority now. The Japanese government cannot shift the responsibility to the culprit, Dongchen Group. Even if it is forced to do so, without any evidence to support it, the public will not believe it.
Moreover, the significance of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is much greater than that of Nippon Steel. At this time, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries cannot be sacrificed. The only one that can be sacrificed is Nippon Steel.
Just when Nippon Steel was being despised by everyone in Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries made two diesel-electric submarines equipped with new transmission components run at high load for more than a hundred hours. In the end, both submarines collapsed due to transmission systems.
It became a small boat on the sea and could only be towed back by a large tugboat.
Shinzo Abe was furious. From this test result, it can be concluded that Dongchen must have tampered with the materials sold to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries! What is hateful is that Dongchen also pretended to be extremely difficult to operate.
, used in this kind of cheating stuff, stole a lot of money from Japan, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was even more miserable. After buying these materials, they happily thought that they could raise Japan's national defense power to a whole new level, but they didn't expect that the level would not be raised.
, everything that has been worked so hard for so long has come to nothing. All the investment and all the consumption have not only failed to get any return, but what is even more unacceptable is the huge loss caused by this useless effort.
"Damn Dongchen! They have been plotting against us from the beginning!" Shinsi Abe was so furious that he almost ordered the forced shutdown of all Dongchen's companies and production lines in Japan. However, after calming down, he finally understood that he was playing tricks
But for Dongchen, this conclusion has long been obvious. If he uses this method to retaliate against Zhang Wenhao, there will only be one result, and that is that the one million Japanese employees who have just obtained jobs will fall into the abyss of unemployment.
Unable to extricate myself from it.
And Zhang Wenhao is not a fool. From the overwhelming reports in the world media, he concluded that Japan will be able to find out the true cause and effect of the matter in a short time. However, Zhang Wenhao is not worried at all, because he knows that the Japanese government cannot do anything to him, even if he is given
Shinzo Abe has twenty tiger guts, does he dare to make all this public? To Shinzo Abe, this kind of thing is equivalent to getting a sexually transmitted disease after going out to have sex. It is a pity that the matter of contracting a sexually transmitted disease has been made public.
As everyone knows, at this time, he can only blame the water in the bathhouse for not being disinfected, but he cannot say that the sexual partner transmitted the sexually transmitted disease to him.
The mute couldn't tell the pain after eating Coptis chinensis. His teeth were broken and he could only swallow the blood in his stomach.
But Zhang Wenhao has never been a person who knows how to restrain himself. Just after the Abe government announced their investigation results, Dongchen officially made a proposal to the Japanese government: "Dongchen planned to add 100,000 new jobs at market prices.
At the price, fully acquire Nippon Steel!"
The Japanese government was immediately dumbfounded after receiving this suggestion. Zhang Wenhao's approach undoubtedly slapped their fragile faces repeatedly.
"His grandmother's! Bastard! Shameless! What the Financial Nazi said is absolutely right! This bastard is simply Hitler's living being, even more vicious than Hitler. Hitler couldn't have bombed London and then went to London to collect scrap metal.
Zhang Wenhao is the one who can do such wicked things!" For the first time in a cabinet meeting, Shinzo Abe completely lost control. The table was kicked over, and everything on the table was thrown to the ground. In addition, he was so angry that
Scolding and cursing couldn't really relieve his hurt soul. This feeling of always being under the calculations of others and being in the hands of others every minute made him too painful.
"We used Nippon Steel as a scapegoat, which can make Zhang Wenhao laugh for a long time. Unexpectedly! At this time, he actually has the nerve to ask for the acquisition of Nippon Steel! Can any of you tell me, what is going on in this world?
How could there be such a shameless bastard?! Is he a human or a ghost?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.
