Japan's six major chaebols almost monopolize the resources of all heavy industries and important industries in Japan.
These resources are also an important basis for the Japanese chaebol to conquer cities and territories overseas.
If Chu Huan now wants his industry to gain a foothold in Japan, he must let his investment enter these industries. The reason for cooperating with the Sumitomo family is because of this. It is also because of this that he chooses to talk to Hisao Tsubouchi about these things now.
Because only by entering these industries can Chu Huan truly have a certain say in this country.
Of course, Chu Huan definitely couldn't do it at this time. Neither the Japanese government nor these plutocrats would allow it.
But it doesn't matter. As long as we start operating now and penetrate little by little like the spring breeze sneaking into the night, Chu Huan's requirements will be met sooner or later.
"Mr. Tsubouchi, do you know something?" Chu Huan did not answer Hisao Tsubouchi's question, but asked him a question.
Tsubouchi Hisao looked at Chu Huan in confusion and asked, "I wonder what Chu Sang is talking about?"
Chu Huan said: "I have a commercial bank in North America called Alder Commercial Bank. If nothing else happens, this bank will officially enter the Japanese financial market in May this year. I have carefully watched Mr. Tsubouchi
Some business operations admire Mr. Tsubouchi's reputation in the business world.
Although I personally am not optimistic about the shipping industry, I am very optimistic about the future development of Mr. Tsubouchi. If Mr. Tsubouchi has ideas, Alder Commercial Bank, which is about to enter the Japanese financial market, can reach a cooperation model with Mr. Tsubouchi. Our bank
We are also very willing to provide loan services for Mr. Tsubouchi and Mr. Tsubouchi’s clients!”
Hisao Tsubouchi was stunned. He really didn't know that Chu Huan had a commercial bank in North America, let alone anything about entering the Japanese financial market.
"Chu Sang's investment is really impressive..."
At this time, Tsubouchi Hisao no longer knew how to praise Chu Huan's business layout.
However, while sighing, Hisao Tsubouchi still wanted to know the strength of the Alder Commercial Bank mentioned by Chu Huan. After all, both the shipbuilding and shipping industries are very cash-hungry industries.
Moreover, Hisao Tsubouchi needs to consider the current operating methods of overseas banks in Japan.
"As far as I know, Japan's financial system does not allow overseas banks to issue large certificates of deposit in Japan. In addition, I don't know how much capital Chu Sang is planning to invest in Japan?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "According to reliable information, if there are no accidents, Japan's ban on overseas banks from issuing large certificates of deposit will be lifted in May next year. In addition, as for the investment in Alde Commercial Bank
!
When the ban is lifted, the deposits in our Jiaku will naturally be deposited in Alde Commercial Bank. In addition, we will also set up an investment department in Alde Commercial Bank. After Alde Commercial Bank is officially established, we will
300 billion yen will be invested within three years as an investment in Japanese industries.
If Mr. Tsubouchi wants to cooperate, we can set up an investment department in this investment department to connect with Kurushima Shipyard!"
Tsubouchi Hisao felt his heart beating. He knew that Chu Huan had money, but he didn't expect that Chu Huan was so rich that he would set up a 300 billion yen investment company in Japan. If it was really established
If so, according to this fund.
Alder Commercial Bank will immediately become a bank that all walks of life in Japan are flocking to.
Not to mention other industries, even I can’t live without it!
But for a person like Hisao Tsubouchi, he knows very well that pie will not fall in the sky. If Chu Huan just explained his doubts, it is a condition for mutual goodwill to be established.
So now that Chu Huan wants to spend real money to support himself, that's another story.
"I wonder what Chu Sang wants to gain from this deal?"
Chu Huan smiled. This is the advantage of chatting with smart people. You don't have to go through so many twists and turns. As long as you get the meaning right, the other person will immediately understand what you are thinking.
"If possible, we hope to invest in Laidao Shipyard in cash!"
Chu Huan told his purpose.
The Japanese branch of Alder Commercial Bank will be the vanguard for Chu Huan to enter the ranks of Japanese chaebols. At this time, Japan's six major chaebols have fully proved one thing to Chu Huan through their own development.
That is to use banks to win over their affiliated companies, which is a very successful thing.
Hisao Tsubouchi was not surprised that Chu Huan wanted to invest in Laishima Shipyard. If he were in Chu Huan's position, he would make the same choice.
It’s just this request, do you want to accept it or not?
As mentioned before, Tsubouchi Hisao's reputation in Japan's banking industry is very good, and now that he has brought Kaijima Shipyard out of the quagmire, his reputation in Japan is at its peak.
In fact, he does not lack the support of the bank, but... he is afraid of buts in everything!
However, as Chu Huan and he both know, the current global shipping industry is in a bad situation, which can be said to have hit the bottom line of the banking industry.
If the current situation continues, no one knows whether the shipbuilding industry can survive this cold winter.
So will Japan's banking industry still support itself as before?
Even if it is support, can it provide such strong support to a bank that holds shares in its own shipyard?
In fact, Hisao Tsubouchi is not opposed to banks investing in his company. To be honest, even if Chu Huan doesn't talk about it now, Hisao Tsubouchi will pursue plans in this area in the future.
It's just that now that Chu Huan has taken the initiative and injected a large amount of funds, this is different.
"I wonder how many shares Chusang plans to acquire in Laishima Shipyard?" Hisao Tsubouchi asked.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "10% is enough. If Mr. Tsubouchi has an idea, I can also make the decision and sell a part of Alde Commercial Bank's shares to you. The shares shall not exceed 5%!"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hisao Tsubouchi smiled bitterly. Although Kurushima Shipyard has now overcome the crisis, Kurushima Shipyard is still under great financial pressure. The most important thing is that if it really
If we want to implement the plan mentioned by Chu Huan, Laidao Shipyard will need to spend more funds in the future.
Where is the spare money to invest in Alde Commercial Bank Japan Branch?
Chu Huan saw Hisao Tsubouchi's wry smile and said: "We can exchange shares for shares. Of course, according to my investment in Alde Commercial Bank, 10% of the shares of Kurushima Shipyard will definitely not be exchanged for Alde Commercial Bank Japan."
5% of the shares of the branch, but I can promise Mr. Tsubouchi that when Laijima Shipyard has sufficient funds in the future, he can give priority to purchasing the shares of Alde Commercial Bank!"
Hisao Tsubouchi was moved.
With the development of the shipping industry, the shipbuilding industry is bound to become a sunset industry in a long period of time, but the banking industry is different. This can be seen from the fact that the six major Japanese consortiums all hold heavy shares in the banking industry. This is bound to become a sunset industry.
One of the most important industries in the future.
Moreover, Alde Commercial Bank also has Chu Huan's cash support, which further increases Hisao Tsubouchi's optimism for the future development of Alde Commercial Bank's Japanese branch.
The whole of Xiangjiang knew that Chu Huan had a huge amount of funds in his hands. Hisao Tsubouchi, who had deep connections with the shipping industry in Xiangjiang, naturally knew about this.
If they hold shares in each other, then for him, the things he worried about before will no longer exist.
After pondering for a long time, Hisao Tsubouchi finally made a decision: "I personally have no objection to the cooperation mentioned by Chu Sang!"
I personally have no objection, but it means that he will mention this matter at the board of directors of Laidao Shipyard after he returns, and then promote it.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!"
Tsubouchi Hisao nodded and said: "Happy cooperation!"
After the two reached a verbal intention to cooperate, Hisao Tsubouchi became more casual when chatting with Chu Huan, and also told Chu Huan about another matter.
As a major shipbuilding country, Japan has many shipyards. In addition to Hisao Tsubouchi's Kurushima Shipyard, there is also a shipyard called Sasebo Heavy Industries.
The problems faced by this shipyard are the same as those faced by many Japanese shipyards. With the downturn in the shipping industry, this shipyard is facing high debt problems.
At this time, the shipyard's debt reached 21.3 billion yen and it was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Nowadays, the entire Japanese media is spreading rumors that only Hisao Tsubouchi has the ability to lead Sasebo Heavy Industries out of the current quagmire.
"Since Chu Sang is so familiar with our Japanese shipbuilding industry, what do you think of this matter?"
Chu Huan said: "My views are the same as those of the Japanese media. If you want to lead Sasebo Heavy Industries out of the quagmire, only you, Mr. Tsubouchi, can do it!"
Chu Huan was not complimenting Hisao Tsubouchi on this matter, but was telling the truth.
By the middle of this year, Hisao Tsubouchi's Kurishima Shipyard had indeed taken over Sasebo Heavy Industries. At that time Hisao Tsubouchi made a domineering declaration!
Turn Sasebo back into profit within 3 years, and start paying off debts in the 6th year.
As a result, Tsubouchi Hisao fulfilled his promise in just one year. Four years later, Sasebo Heavy Industries not only paid off all debts, but also paid an annual interest of 6%. All creditors worship Tsubouchi Hisao as a god.
This is why Chu Huan said that now is the best time to cooperate with Hisao Tsubouchi.
By next year, when Hisao Tsubouchi leads Sasebo Heavy Industries out of the quagmire, Hisao Tsubouchi's reputation in Japan will be even higher.
If Chu Huan wanted to cooperate with Hisao Tsubouchi at that time, it would be much more difficult than now.
However, Tsubouchi Hisao had not yet taken over Sasebo Heavy Industries at this time, so naturally he did not have too many ideas in his mind. What he was thinking more about was how to deal with the problems faced by Sasebo Heavy Industries at this time if he really wanted to take over.
The most critical one is the funding issue.
Before meeting Chu Huan, Hisao Tsubouchi was thinking about how to reduce clothing and food, just like how he led Laishima Shipyard out of the quagmire before.
But now that he has direct cooperation with Chu Huan, Hisao Tsubouchi has more ideas.
"If Alde Commercial Bank can support this matter by then, I think my determination will be even greater!"
Obviously, Hisao Tsubouchi wanted the support of Alde Commercial Bank.
Chu Huan has no opinion on this matter. Since Hisao Tsubouchi was able to lead Sasebo Heavy Industries out of the current predicament in another time and space, it will naturally be easier to get out now with the support of Aldessa Hunan Industrial Bank.
And in Chu Huan's view, this is actually because Hisao Tsubouchi has handled this matter from the perspective of Al's folk song and the bank's shareholder.
A person like him is very confident in himself. Since he is confident, Hisao Tsubouchi must believe that he can lead Sasebo Heavy Industries out of the predicament. Then Alder Commercial Bank, which invested in this matter, will naturally benefit from it.
"This is natural. Sasebo Heavy Industry is the first project after our cooperation. Mr. Tsubouchi will definitely receive the most comprehensive support from Alde Commercial Bank!"
With Chu Huan's words, Hisao Tsubouchi no longer had anything to worry about.
The two of them originally wanted to discuss the specific details of this matter, but at this time Sumitomo Yoshio and others had finished their small meeting and had all returned to the banquet hall.
"Chu Sang, what are you two talking about, Tsubouchi-kun? Are you so happy?"
Yoshio Sumitomo walked over with a smile and asked.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just want to cooperate more with Mr. Tsubouchi!"
Sumitomo Yoshio was slightly startled. He understood what Chu Huan meant. If Chu Huan wanted to enter the chaebol world of Japan, he would inevitably make various investments in Japan. But what Sumitomo Yoshio did not expect was that Chu Huan was doing this.
Under the circumstances, the first partner found turned out to be Hisao Tsubouchi's Kurushima Shipyard.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Isn’t Chu Huan not optimistic about the future of the shipping industry?
Although there were doubts in his heart, Sumitomo Yoshio still did not ask directly. He just said with a smile: "Chu Sang's vision is really sharp. Tsubouchi-kun is the god of reconstruction in Japan. I believe that the cooperation between Chu Sang and Tsubouchi-kun will be great."
Very enjoyable.”
"Sumitomo-kun is so complimentary!" Hisao Tsubouchi said modestly.
Sumitomo Yoshio smiled and said: "I didn't. I had thought about cooperating with Tsubouchi-kun before, but I never found the opportunity. I didn't expect that this time with Chu Sang, we would be able to cooperate!"
After hearing what Sumitomo Yoshio said, Tsubouchi Hisao was slightly startled. Regarding Chu Huan being able to appear here tonight, Tsubouchi Hisao was indeed a little confused. But now that he heard Sumitomo Yoshio say this, he felt as if he had guessed it.
What.
Yoshio Sumitomo said with a smile: "You don't know, Mr. Tsubouchi, that Sumitomo Bank has already cooperated with the Alde Commercial Bank Japan Branch of Chusan..."
Tsubouchi Hisao suddenly realized, and his expression when he looked at Chu Huan also changed. He did not expect that Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch would become a shareholder of Sumitomo Bank.
This kind of operation surprised Tsubouchi Hisao again, and Chu Huan's ability was able to make Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch become a shareholder of Sumitomo Bank.
In this case, Chu Huan would have a higher status in his mind. No wonder Chu Huan would seek partners here without worrying that these people here would do something bad during the cooperation process.
It turns out that Chu Huan has already formed an alliance with the Sumitomo family!
"By the way, Chu Sang, let me introduce you to a senior in our Japanese business world!"
After apologizing to Hisao Tsubouchi, he led Chu Huan to an old man, smiled and preached for Chu Huan: "Chu Sang, this is our senior in the Japanese business world, the current president of the Japan Keidan Federation, Tomitsu.
Mr. Toshifu, Mr. Toguang Toshifu just heard that Chu Sang people are here and found me. He very much hopes that I can introduce him to Chu Sang!"
Oops!
Big shot!
The full name of Keiretsu is Federation of Economic Organizations.
The highest-level organization in Japan's industrial and commercial circles is called the "financial community." On the surface, there are four groups that represent the overall interests of the industrial and commercial circles, namely, the "Keidanren" (referred to as "Keidanren"), "Japanese Federation of Business Organizations"
Business Group Alliance" (referred to as "Nikkei Federation"), Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (referred to as "Nissan"), "Economic Doyoukai" (referred to as "Doyoukai").
Among them, Keidanren plays the largest role among the four groups in the financial world, and its president is called the "prime minister of the financial world."
The group was established in August 1946. It was initially composed of large business economic groups and small and medium-sized enterprise economic groups. After the "Nissho" representing the interests of small and medium-sized enterprises withdrew from the "Keidanren" in 1952, the "Keidanren" became
An economic group centered on large corporations. The president, vice president, and directors of "Keidanren" are all the main leaders of major financial groups, and they respectively represent different industrial groups and business organizations.
As the core group of the financial community, the main mission of Keidanren is to "gather the general will of the economic community, mobilize the general wisdom of the economic community, influence the government's domestic and foreign policies, and implement the general requirements of the economic community."
On the surface, this group represents the interests of the entire industrial and commercial community, and certain phenomena also reflect that Keidanren has this integration ability, but in fact Keidanren mainly represents the interests of large enterprises.
In March 1966, some powerful financial figures formed the "Industrial Issues Research Association."
The Industry and Research Institute gathered leaders from the four major groups in Japan's financial world, thus gaining the core status of the "Financial Community General Headquarters" or the "Financial Community Policy Committee". As a result, the Japanese financial sector entered the "era of unification."
.
In order to control the political and economic lifeline of the country, the financial circle, which represents the highest interests of Japan's monopoly capital, often first controls the ruling party through "ZJ donations" and other means, and then powerfully controls and influences the Japanese government through personnel combination and other channels.
.
Japan's financial circles, headed by the "Keidanren", also use "secret politics" to serve in administrative departments, accept retired government officials and other channels, and form an intricate personnel network with various government departments in order to make the government act according to the intentions of the financial circles.
.
In Japan, through "private meetings", "opinions", "reports" and "talk meetings" between financial leaders and government dignitaries, they influence the government's economic plan and influence the implementation of economic bills.
Regarding Japan's foreign affairs, Keidanren is known as Japan's "Second Ministry of Foreign Affairs." It not only sends business leaders to visit abroad on behalf of the government and holds various international conferences regularly, but can also cooperate with the government to ease tensions between Japan and Japan.
Foreign economic frictions.
And Tomitsu Tomitsu can become the president of Keidanren, and his personal resume is naturally more brilliant.
First of all, he is a representative figure of Japan's Mitsui Zaibatsu. This can be seen from the company where he works. After graduating from university, Toshio Domitsu joined Ishikawajima Hoho Heavy Industries, which has Mitsui funds.
There are four major heavy industry companies in Japan, namely Ishikawajima Heavy Industries with Mitsui Zaibatsu background, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries with Mitsubishi Zaibatsu background, Kawasaki Heavy Industries with Kanyin Zaibatsu background, and Fuji Heavy Industries with Fuji Consortium background.
While working at Ishikawajima Heavy Industries, Toshio Domitsu first became a formal turbine equipment technician at the Ishikawajima Shipbuilding Works, a subsidiary of Ishikawajima Heavy Industries.
Then through step-by-step promotion, he reached the top of Ishikawajima Heavy Industries, and then founded Ishikawajima Shibaura Co., Ltd., which also has a Mitsui Zaibatsu background, as the president... Ishikawajima Shibaura Co., Ltd. is also
The predecessor of Toshiba Japan.
Both companies have achieved unprecedented revitalization and take-off under the leadership of Tomitsu Toshio.
Toshio Tsuchimitsu is also called a charisma-type business leader by people in the Japanese business community.
After retiring from Ishikawashima Shibaura Co., Ltd., Toshio Domitsu became the president of Japan Keidanren.
And the first thing this man did after becoming the president of Keidanren was to lead a delegation to visit China!
And that time was in 1975!
At that time, Japan's domestic weakness caused by the oil shock finally showed signs of recovery. Tsuchimitsu judged that the current time was appropriate to carry out external development and seek opportunities for "external cooperation."
He wants to visit foreign countries and seek international economic cooperation to further boost the Japanese economy.
Which country should I start visiting from?
According to the judgment of ordinary people at the time, international visits were usually carried out in the order of North America, Europe and Asia, but Toshio Tomitsu had a different idea. He instructed his secretary:
"I would like to visit neighboring China first. Please talk to the International Trade Promotion Committee and ask them to convey my intention to visit China. I also hope that the vice presidents of Keidanren can go together. At the same time, I
I hope journalists can also participate, and we will conduct a series of vigorous negotiations with China."
From the Japanese perspective, the commercial cooperation between China and Japan can be said to have begun with Tomitsu Toshio.
This year, the China-Japan long-term trade agreement signed between China and Japan was signed, and Toshio Tomitsu was also involved.
Although Toshio Tsuchimitsu has a strong shadow of the Mitsui Zaibatsu in his body, it is undeniable that his status in the Japanese business world is undeniable.
This is also the reason why Sumitomo Yoshio calls Tomitsu Toshio an old-timer!
"Hello Chu Sang!"
After seeing Chu Huan, Tu Guangminfu took the lead in bowing.
Chu Huan stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Senior Tu Guang is so polite. It should be me who took the initiative to visit Senior Tu Guang!"
Toshio Tomitsu was now over eighty years old, but his spirit was still very strong.
"Chu Sang is so polite. As friends who have come from afar, we should entertain Chu Sang well!"
Seeing that Chu Huan was talking to Toshio Tomitsu, Sumitomo Yoshio left.
After Tuguang Toshifu finished chatting with Chu Huan, what he talked about the most was about the situation in his hometown.
"I heard that Chu Sang returned to China last year as a delegation from Hong Kong and Macao. I wonder what impression Chu Sang had of China at that time?"
No matter how highly the outside world thinks of this earthly and sensitive man, in Chu Huan's view, this person is actually thinking about the vast resources in his hometown.
In fact, it was his fault that led to a lot of Japanese capital entering his hometown. Whether this was good or bad has been publicly discussed later.
The fact that the other party comes to me now is different from other Japanese businessmen. Other Japanese businessmen value the cash in their hands. But now that Toshio Tomitsu comes to him, he must be interested in his influence in his hometown.
force.
"Very good, I believe my hometown will definitely get better and better in the future!"
Chu Huan answered ambiguously.
Tuguang Toshifu said seriously: "I also believe in your judgment, Chu Sang. Today's occasion is not suitable. How about we find a time and a place to sit down and have a good chat?"
Chu Huan did not refuse Toshio Tomitsu's invitation, but Chu Huan also had his own ideas. What he valued was the economic influence of Japan, so Chu Huan would cooperate with the Sumitomo family, Hisao Tsubouchi and others.
However, Chu Huan must stay away from Tugu Toshifu. The development investment and cooperation with Japan in his hometown are the general trend, and Chu Huan has no way to interfere.
But in this process, Chu Huan will definitely try his best to get involved and curb some important investments by Japanese companies in his hometown, but at the same time, he will also strengthen his own power.
To put it simply, you use the other party's influence to increase the chips in your hands.
Although Tuguang Toshifu said that now was not the best time to talk in detail, he still chatted seriously with Chu Huan.
Originally, Chu Huan thought that tonight's dinner would pass under such circumstances.
Unexpectedly, while the two were chatting, a Japanese man about forty years old and a Japanese man about fifty years old came over.
After the two people came over, they first smiled and greeted Toshio Tsuchuguang: "Senior Tsuchuguang!"
Then the Japanese man in his forties smiled and said to Chu Huan: "Chu Sang, I wanted to have a good chat with you just now, but I didn't expect that Chu Sang had already started chatting with our senior Tu Guang.
"
When Chu Huan first arrived here, Sumitomo Yoshio introduced him to this person, Mitsui Takamichi, the younger brother of the current head of the Mitsui Zaibatsu family.
As for the Japanese man in his fifties standing next to Mitsui Takamichi, although it was the first time for Chu Huan to meet him, he knew who he was.
Tsutsumi Yoshiaki’s second brother, Tsutsumi Seiji!
When Toshio Tomitsu saw Mitsui Takamichi coming, specifically looking for Chu Huan, he smiled and greeted Chu Huan, then turned and left.
"What do you want to talk about, Mr. Mitsui?"
In fact, Chu Huan already had some ideas in his heart.
Mitsui Takamichi smiled and said: "I heard that Chu Sang still has the management rights to the shares of Xiangjiang Seibu Department Store, and I am very interested. I want to tell Chu Sang here, can you give me a face and stop doing this?
