Nippon Steel never thought that one day it would go from being a company that the whole of Japan is proud of to being yelled at and beaten like a rat crossing the street. The Japanese government also has the courage to cut off the arms of a strong man, facing a huge
scandal, in order to save Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nippon Steel had to be regarded as a scapegoat. Now, Dongchen, the culprit, should have remained silent at this time, watching the Japanese government's jokes and secretly enjoying it,
Instead, he stood up at this time, looking like a savior, and wanted to fully acquire the ruined Nippon Steel from the Japanese government.
Regarding Dongchen's actions, the Japanese government almost went berserk. However, after calming down and thinking about it, even if this incident had not happened, Nippon Steel would have been on the verge of collapse. It was affected by the economic depression internally and externally.
Zhongyu's direct competition and Dongchen's annexation of Nippon Steel's old customers, coupled with Japan's loss of control over iron ore, make it difficult for Nippon Steel to survive as a company at this time.
Nippon Steel relies on imports for almost all its raw materials, which makes Nippon Steel lose its competitiveness in terms of price. Now, something like this has happened that caused Nippon Steel to collapse. It is already futile to continue to persist.
After careful consideration, the Japanese government made two decisions. First, completely repair all mechanical equipment made of Dongchen steel alloy and replace all parts made of Dongchen materials to avoid greater losses and reputational impact;
Secondly, Nippon Steel can no longer survive. At this time, it is better to agree to Dongchen's request, sell Nippon Steel for cash, and then use this to gain more jobs for Japan.
For this reason, the Japanese government bargained with Dongchen and eventually increased the number of jobs from 100,000 to 150,000. However, the 50,000 additional jobs were all digested internally by Nippon Steel. In other words, Zhang Wenhao's acquisition
of Nippon Steel, and took over Nippon Steel's 50,000 employees.
After Zhang Wenhao and the Japanese reached a consensus on cooperation, Nie Minhui could not sit still. She was so excited that she ran to Dongchen to meet Zhang Wenhao in person. Zhang Wenhao also understood her excitement very well. For Nie Minhui, Zhongyu
It is difficult to break through during the bottleneck period, but now, once Nippon Steel is successfully acquired by Dongchen and authorizes Zhongyu to be responsible for operations, Zhongyu will successfully pass the bottleneck period, and not only that, its strength will also increase significantly.
Zhang Wenhao saw that Nie Minhui attached so much importance to the acquisition of Nippon Steel, so he said: "Aunt Nie, since you are so interested in Nippon Steel, then you can sign the contract with the Japanese on behalf of Dongchen."
Nie Minhui asked a little unsurely: "Is it appropriate for me to go?"
"What's inappropriate?" Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "I really don't want Dongchen to directly participate in the operation of the steel industry, so I gave you the full power to allocate the share of iron ore, and Nippon Steel was
After the acquisition, Zhongyu will also be responsible for the operation, so it is most appropriate for you to sign the contract."
With that said, Zhang Wenhao added: "The Australians will authorize Walter to sign a contract with Dongchen in the next two days. At this time, I think it is better for me to stay here. Since I want to settle the old feud with the Australian government, I should always get the
Show some sincerity."
Nie Minhui smiled slightly and said: "The Australian government has also cut off a large piece of meat this time in order to please Dongchen. It is right for you to stay here and attend the signing ceremony in person. In this case, I will go there in two days.
.”
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said with a smile: "After acquiring Nippon Steel, I think you should also change the name of Nippon Steel."
"What's it called?" Nie Minhui asked with a smile: "Zhongyu Group Japan Branch?"
Zhang Wenhao waved his hand and said with a laugh: "Such a name is too untechnical. If you want to change it, you have to change it to something more domineering, or something that is enough to make the Japanese feel humiliated. Since it is Nippon Steel, in my opinion
, why not rename it New China Railway.”
Nie Minhui couldn't help laughing and said: "New China Railway, people who don't know it think it is a branch of China Railway Group."
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Wenhao said: "This name is for the Japanese, and it is also used to stimulate the Japanese. Nippon Steel and New China Railway are just one word different, but they represent the change of sovereignty, which is of extraordinary significance."
Nie Minhui thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I'll listen to you and change the name to New China Railway."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and smiled and said: "Once the name is changed, Nippon Steel will no longer exist, and its nature will change from a Japanese enterprise to a Chinese enterprise."
With that said, Zhang Wenhao added: "If Zhongyu completes the acquisition of Nippon Steel, then I think Dongchen's logistics system will also be greatly improved."
"Logistics system?" Nie Minhui asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Wenhao explained: "Currently, Japan's export business has suffered a huge blow. Automobiles and electronic products have almost lost their export market. Once Nippon Steel collapses, Japan's shipping companies responsible for ocean transportation of iron ore and steel will also
It went bankrupt overnight. At that time, I asked Erikson to go to Japan to search for the idle car roll-on and roll-off ships and large transport ships in Japan, and take all those idle ships into Dongchen's hands. In this way,
, Dongchen’s shipping logistics can also be expanded in the shortest time, and by then, Dongchen’s transport ships can also help Zhongyu transport raw materials to Japan.”
"I understand." Nie Minhui nodded and said with a smile: "You are really planning everything. Even this point was taken into account by you. It seems that the Japanese are really in trouble when they meet you. If
Having Dongchen take charge of the transportation of raw materials is also a great thing for Zhongyu."
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "When Nippon Steel is acquired by Dongchen, the steel production that the Japanese government can control will also be greatly reduced. Dongchen adheres to the principle of not sending any goods to the Japanese market, so by then, I am afraid Japan will even need
Importing just now from Zhongyu to make up for the lack of steel production caused by losing Nippon Steel is also an opportunity for Zhongyu."
After the Japanese government received the news that Dongchen was determined to acquire Nippon Steel, it did not deliberately block the news. However, what the Japanese government found extremely difficult to accept was that a large number of people were talking about Dongchen's acquisition of Nippon Steel.
At the time of the incident, everyone felt that Dongchen's taking over this dilapidated company had lost its identity and status as the world's largest company. In the eyes of the Japanese people, Nippon Steel, which had just been exposed to a huge scandal, was simply an extremely hot potato.
Whoever accepts it at this time will suffer huge losses.
The dumb Japanese government can only accept this calmly. It was they who wanted to use Nippon Steel as a scapegoat, but now that Zhang Wenhao has taken advantage of it, it can only be said that they are digging their own graves. This kind of thing, even if it is
All the teeth in my mouth were broken, and I could only swallow it in my stomach. (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 biggest motivation.)
