In Sumitomo Yoshio's manor, Sumitomo Yoshio, Hota Shozo, and Isoda Ichiro were sitting together and discussing the issues between Chu Huan and Mitsui Takamichi.
Sumitomo Yoshio was just like Wu Shuhan at this time. After a night of thinking, he put himself in Chu Huan's shoes. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any way to solve Chu Huan's predicament.
Isoda Ichiro said: "He can definitely ask us for help? After all, we are already mutual collaborators at this time!"
Hota Shozo shook his head and said: "If Chu Huan asks us for help, then he will not be able to cooperate equally with our business in Japan. Then Chu Huan's Jiaku in Japan can only become our second
I’m a member of the Mu Club!”
Sumitomo Yoshio nodded and said: "Yes, if Chu Huan cannot solve the problem of Mitsui Takamichi of the Mitsui family, his energy in Japan will be greatly reduced. I think he can understand this himself, so
He didn’t call us at this stage!”
Isoda Ichiro said: "I think Chu Huan cares too much about his own face. It was only with the support of the Mitsui family that Toyota Motor became the largest consortium in Japan after our six major consortiums. As long as
If Chu Huan can overcome this difficulty, I believe that his Japanese car Kaku can also become the second Toyota of Japan in the future!"
The establishment of the Toyota Consortium benefited from the support of the Mitsui family. Otherwise, successive presidents of Toyota Motor would not have been able to marry women from the Mitsui family.
The founder of the Toyota family is recognized as Sakichi Toyoda, and Sakichi Toyoda first founded a textile factory with the support of the Mitsui family.
As the Toyota family's business grew, their relationship with the Mitsui family became better and better. Later, Risaburo from the Mitsui & Co., Ltd. family even went to Toyoda Sakichi's home and became his son-in-law, and this son-in-law
He also directly changed his name to Toyoda Risaburo. Since then, the relationship between the two families has become closer.
When Sakichi Toyoda passed away, he also called his son Kiichiro Toyoda and his son-in-law Risaburo Toyoda to his side and asked them to manage the business he left behind. It can be seen that Sakichi Toyoda was quite respectful to this "brother-in-law" from the Mitsui family.
value.
In order to get closer to each other, the two families continued to marry each other.
Kiichiro Toyoda's son Shoichiro Toyoda is married to Mitsui Takano's daughter, and his grandson Akio Toyoda is married to Yuko, the daughter of Mitsui & Co.'s vice president Mamoru Tabuchi.
This shows the relationship between the two families.
It's better now, but later on, as the Toyota consortium becomes more and more influential around the world, their influence in Japan is also growing, which leads to Toyota.
There will be some problems between the consortium and the Mitsui Zaibatsu.
The most intuitive manifestations of this kind of thing are two things.
The first thing is that with the growth of the Toyota Consortium, Toyota Motor is a major member of the Mitsui Zaibatsu Futaki Club. The head of Toyota Motor has rarely participated in the Mitsui Zaibatsu Jinyao Club!
The second thing is that the grandson of Shoichiro Toyoda, the current head of Toyota Motor, and the future head of Toyota Motor, Daisuke Toyoda, did not marry a woman from the Mitsui family, but married a woman whose stage name is Hoshilan Hitomi, whose original name was Yoshihara.
Mayu's woman.
At that time, there was also news claiming that Xing Lantong was not just an ordinary female artist, but behind her was the eldest lady of a Japanese oil company.
But whether it is true or false, the parties involved have not announced it to the public.
Sumitomo Yoshio said calmly: "Then it depends on what Chu Huan really thinks!"
In fact, Sumitomo Yoshio is still not sure what Chu Huan is thinking, but it is undeniable that Sumitomo Yoshio really hopes that Chu Huan can come to him for help, because if Chu Huan comes to him at this time, he will be the same as his previous one.
The ideas are consistent.
They can seek more benefits from Chu Huan.
"Chu Huan is different from the Toyota family. The Toyota family's fortune cannot be separated from the support of the Mitsui family. Chu Huan is now a first-class businessman in Asia and even the world. It is so easy for him to do this kind of thing.
Surrender, I’m not very optimistic about this matter.”
Shozo Hota has his own opinion.
"Chu Huan is a successful businessman, and he is such a successful businessman. It is impossible for him to be inferior to others. Even if this is Japan, he would not have such thoughts!"
Sumitomo Yoshio and Isoda Ichiro did not expect that Hota Shozo was so sure of Chu Huan's guess.
But after the two of them thought about it, they felt that what Hota Shozo said was not unreasonable.
If they did this in other places in the world, they would not agree.
"And I believe Chu Huan must understand very well that as long as he gives in this time, he will definitely be suppressed even more in the future. I think Chu Huan is definitely not willing to have such a situation happen."
Shozo Hota continued to add.
Ichiro Isoda pondered for a moment and said: "If this is the case, then what kind of method can Chu Huan use to solve this matter?"
Sumitomo Yoshio and Hota Shozo looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Sumitomo Yoshio still hoped that Chu Huan would call him, but Hota Shozo was sure that Chu Huan would not make this call. But how Chu Huan would solve this matter, Horida Shozo could not imagine.
.
"You haven't called yet?"
Mitsui Takauchi was sitting in his office at this time, looking a little confused. Sitting opposite Mitsui Takauchi were Ishii Masami, the helmsman of the core enterprise of the Mitsui Foundation, and Sugiichiro, the current helmsman of Shibaura Co., Ltd., and finally
It’s Toshio Tuguang.
Ishii Masami said nonchalantly: "Chu Huan still has some abilities, but it's obvious that he picked the wrong opponent. Now that Mitsui Takamichi has taken action, I think Chu Huan's business in Japan should also put the brakes on
!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then Ishii Masami said: "Instead of discussing Chu Huan here, I think we should talk about Mitsui & Co.'s investment in the world's mining industry, right?"
When it comes to the Mitsui Zaibatsu, more people think of well-known brand companies such as Toyota, Toshiba, and Sanyo, as well as Sony, which was supported by the Mitsui Zaibatsu at the beginning of its business.
Many people regard Sony as an industry of the Mitsui Zaibatsu. In fact, this is wrong. It can only be said that when Sony was first founded, it received financial support from the Mitsui Zaibatsu and was responsible for the business background of the entire Japan.
In fact, it is a very common form.
Even Sony is not a member of the Mitsui Zaibatsu Futuki Association, which shows that the relationship between the two parties is not as close as the outside world thinks.
But it is undeniable that the Mitsui Zaibatsu does have some shares in Sony and has some influence, but it is definitely not as good as its own Futuki-kai member companies.
Apart from these, the little-known Mitsui & Co. is actually the real core industry of the Mitsui Zaibatsu.
Some people even say that they control the say in the world’s iron ore!
All this stems from Mitsui & Co.’s layout in the iron ore field.
Mitsui & Co. started laying out the iron ore industry in the 1960s. In Australia, Mitsui & Co. owns some of Rio Tinto's core assets. For example, it invested in the Robe River Iron Mine in 1965 and the Newman Iron Mine in 1967, and later acquired
west of western australia
A partial stake in the Angelas mine.
In addition to Rio Tinto, Mitsui & Co. also owns three iron ore mines in Western Australia with BHP Billiton. Of course, in addition to Mitsui & Co., Japan's Nippon Steel also owns equity interests in some Australian miners, and Nippon Steel and Mitsui
There are mutual shareholdings between minerals. As a result, currently Japanese-related companies are among the 24 major minerals in Australia. They have invested in 8 companies and held shares in 16 others.
In Brazil, Mitsui & Co. has invested in the country’s second largest iron ore company, M, since 1971.
Until now, Mitsui & Co. has been developing Brazil’s iron ore industry.
This is an upstream iron ore company. At the same time, among the midstream iron ore companies, the global shipping of iron ore is also in the hands of the Mitsui Group.
Mitsui Group has a shipping company called Mitsui Lines. This shipping company, together with Nippon Cruise Lines and Kawasaki Kisen, is currently the three largest shipping companies in Japan.
Mitsui O.S. Lines is also one of the world's largest dry bulk shipping companies. In later generations, the number of transport ships exceeded 900.
At the same time, MOL is also one of the world's leading iron ore shipping companies. In later generations, 2/3 of the world's iron ore was shipped to China, and many large steel companies in China were shipped by MOL.
For example, in 2003, Mitsui O.S. Lines and BG Group formally signed an iron ore commission agreement, responsible for transporting 5 million tons of iron ore from Western Australia to Shenghai every year for 15 years from 2004; another example is that in 2004, Mitsui O.S. Lines signed an iron ore commission agreement with BG.
A 20-year long-term transportation agreement to carry ore imported from Brazil; in 2009, Mitsui Lines signed a long-term shipping agreement for iron ore with AG Group.
Downstream companies, Mitsui & Co. have invested in many MTR companies.
This forms a perfect industrial chain, allowing Mitsui & Co. to control global steel prices!
Of course, Mitsui & Co. currently does not have such great energy, but they have been moving towards this goal.
Therefore, Ishii Masami does not look down upon the competition between Chu Huan and Mitsui Takamichi at this time. In his opinion, as long as they can achieve the goals they have set, then the world's steel will basically belong to them in the future.
It’s a real cornucopia!
The general manager of Shibaura Co., Ltd. Sugiichiro smiled and said: "I don't think you need to pay too much attention to this matter. Although Chu Huan has some energy in Japan, it is nothing compared to us. He has not called now, which does not mean that
He will not make phone calls in the future. As long as he wants to do business in Japan, he must make this call.
Instead of thinking about him here, it’s better to be concerned about our company’s stock price in North America!”
Sugiichiro, after Shibaura Co., Ltd. was renamed Toshiba, was one of the biggest scapegoats. The Toshiba incident in 1987 caused him to take the blame and resign.
At the same time, Toshiba decided to delist in North America and return to Japan!

ps: I recommend a book by a friend, "The Man from Stanley". This is a story about a protagonist who wants to be a good person, but others don't let him be a good person, so the protagonist ceases to be a human being.
