Mitsui Takacho and Wang Yaocheng finalized the intention to strengthen cooperation between Sakura Bank, Sumitomo Mitsubishi Bank and the world's number one HSBC, and the main topic of the secret discussion came to an end.
Afterwards, we talked about lighter topics.
Mitsui Takacho transformed into the old uncle next door and asked worriedly;
"Wang Sang, we old people who came from the 1950s and 1960s don't understand the thinking of young people today. New terms such as punk, DINK, and non-marriageism are simply a subversive impact on tradition. In Fusang, we still have
With the emergence of the Moonlight Clan and the Gnawing Old Clan, each generation is really inferior to the last, which is worrying."
Wang Yaocheng said: "Well, compared to the older generation, the younger generation has become more hedonistic and lacks the correct attitude of diligence and entrepreneurship."
"What Wang Sang said is absolutely true. I am afraid that this generation will go astray!"
Mitsui Takacho frowned and said, "Back then, we worked so hard that we forgot about food and sleep, and worked overtime for more than 300 days a year. We wanted to spend all our energy on work and develop the club with great enthusiasm. But now, all this depends on
Not anymore. Today’s young people only make demands but don’t pay attention to contributions. They are too materialistic. Some young people are addicted to nightclubs and waste their youth wantonly. They are simply a decadent generation.”
The elderly are always used to reminiscing about the past. Wang Yaocheng has no intention of depriving him of his hobbies, Wen Yan said;
"Mitsui-kun is overthinking it. This is just a non-mainstream trend of thought in society. Youth is a willful capital. After being lethargic, they will naturally return to their original trajectory. Reality will teach them how to behave in minutes."
Mitsui Gaochang listened and nodded in agreement and said;
"Wang Sang sees it better than I do. Some public opinion believes that these past ten years have been the 'lost era of Fuso.' There are pessimistic views everywhere. Looking at the rapid economic development of the Four Asian Tigers, it has affected the mentality of many people."
"hehe……"
Wang Yaocheng smiled and retorted;
"This is a one-sided view.
According to authoritative statistics from the World Bank, in recent years, Fuso has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest foreign investor and the world's largest net creditor country.
The economic rise of the Four Asian Tigers is indispensable for the huge inflow of Japanese yen capital and the huge profits brought by the rise of the sharing economy.
Although the local economy of Fuso Country has fallen into a quagmire of recession and low growth over the past decade or so, no one can deny that there is an invisible wealth circle outside the mainland, with a scale of trillions of dollars.
This huge amount of wealth cannot be seen in the local GDP statistics of Fuso Country.
Fusang Country hides its wealth in its people and in the world. This is a very clever strategy.
Under Mitsui-kun’s visionary leadership, the Mitsui Foundation is also one of the biggest beneficiaries of the foreign investment strategy, and I don’t need to remind you of this.”
With a gentle flattery, Mitsui Gao's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he felt comfortable from the inside out.
This is a fair evaluation from a Hong Kong consortium boss. It is as high as a five-story building and its effect is better than what his subordinates have praised it for thousands of times.
"Hahaha... The Mitsui Foundation is not bad compared to others and has made great achievements in the investment field. However, compared with the Royal Fund, it lacks passion, courage, and decisiveness to seize opportunities. Therefore, I hope that both
We can all cooperate more."
In this regard, Wang Yaocheng said;
"The development history of Royal Family Fund is not long. In many aspects, we still need to learn from the rich experience of Mitsui Foundation. I personally express high expectations for the sincere cooperation between the two companies."
Mitsui Takano nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject and asked;
"Wang Sang, as far as I know, you are in contact with several American airlines?"
"Not bad, Mitsui-kun, are you interested?"
"Haha, the Mitsui Foundation has no investment plan in the aviation industry. However, we are happy to see the success of your investment. If necessary, the Mitsui Foundation is willing to provide necessary assistance."
"Thank you!" Wang Yaocheng said cheerfully; "If necessary, we will solemnly make a request."
Mitsui Takacho knew that Wang Yaocheng had weaved a huge network of interests in the United States, and the fact that his subsidiary HSBC Bank was able to safely pass the antitrust investigation of the U.S. Department of Justice showed its extraordinary strength.
Cathay Pacific's intention to aggressively expand in the North American aviation market is no secret.
The key is
The American Rockefeller Foundation has extensive influence on major airlines. It is also one of the financial backers behind Samsung Group and Citibank. It competes directly with the Royal Family Fund in many fields.
If we don't deal with this obstacle, everything will be in vain.
In view of the special circumstances of the civil aviation industry and the sensitivity related to national security, even though Wang Yaocheng has a close relationship with the George family, the current commander-in-chief, Mitsui Takainaga is not optimistic about this.
The situation in the United States is very complicated, especially in the aviation industry where labor unions are very powerful, and it is not just about getting a controlling stake.
Without recognition from the union and accepting relatively harsh conditions, once the union holds a large-scale strike, the pressure from the government, society and finance will be enough to force back the confident foreign capital.
According to the consistent behavior of the Rockefeller Foundation and conservative white old money groups, it is simply unbelievable that something is not done.
Young people's careers are too smooth, and it's not bad to hit the wall a few times.
"Seriously speaking, Fuso Capital's investment experience in the United States is a long and bitter history. I suffered a lot and learned very profound lessons. I still remember it fresh to this day."
Mitsui Takanaga seems to be stuck in past memories;
"...
In the mid-to-late 1980s, various Japanese consortiums landed in the United States waving banknotes and buying and buying. They seemed to be prosperous, but in fact they were already in deep crisis without realizing it.
Compared with the far-reaching layout of the American people in the financial industry and national strategic level, we are just like primary school students, there is no comparison at all.
Time proves
We have paid a heavy price for our investment in the United States. After deep introspection, we have the current stable layout. Every major investment case must go through repeated scientific demonstrations and market prospect research.
Haha...who would have thought of that?
But it was this excessive composure that caused the entire Fuso Capital to miss the historical opportunity for the take-off of the high-tech Internet industry in the United States, and was once again left far behind.
Time is also fate."
At this point, Mitsui Gaochang shook his head and sighed, feeling as if he had had his cake and eat it too.
Wang Yaocheng complained in his heart;
You don’t want to take risks, but you also want to share the benefits. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
This old fox seemed to be chatting away, and he was showing off his wits inside and outside his words. He was using this opportunity to observe Wang Yaocheng's attitude, but it was really difficult to deal with.
Whether it is populism or hatred of Japan and the United States, if every detail is revealed in a casual chat, it will attract great attention from this old fox and will definitely affect the next step of cooperation between the two parties.
Wang Yaocheng could only brace himself to deal with it, and did not dare to relax at all, for fear of revealing some flaws.
