Li Pucheng's expression was hurried, and most of the time he still maintained a modest and polite demeanor, and although his heart was anxious, he showed enough respect for even the cleaners in this Japanese hotel.

However, the moment he entered the conference room, any respect on his face suddenly vanished.

"Assi!"

Li Pucheng simply threw the suitcase in his hand to Li Junren who was standing at the door, and almost didn't smash this young man who had worked for less than a month.

He reached out and loosened the tie at the collar of his shirt, then sat down in his chair and shouted anxiously as he banged on the table.

"Asi, you bastards, don't you see that Lao Tzu is almost exhausted? Where's the tea? Serve me tea, that's how you respect your predecessors?"

In the conference room, several staff members who were originally busy rummaging through materials heard this, stopped their work one after another, and hurriedly poured tea for him to fan the wind, serving Li Pucheng comfortably.

"Each group reports the progress, hurry up, how is the data organized?"

An old man with glasses who looked to be in his fifties hurriedly bowed his head and rushed over, put the information in his hand in front of Li Pucheng, and said respectfully.

"Yes, team leader, all the information about the information collation work of this order meeting is here. ”

"Lin Miyou, you talk about it first, and I'll see the report later. Li Pucheng's face was full of impatience.

"Yes. ”

Lim Mi-woo, who is in his fifties this year, is a man who came over from the war years, and his education level is obviously not as high as that of the young people of Park Chung-hee's era. Although he is an old man at the beginning of the construction of Hyundai Heavy Industry, his position has never been promoted, and he basically has no status at work.

But he is serious and responsible in his work. Familiar with the business side. Never complain too much. The work that really needs to be implemented in the group is often done by him.

"According to the information we have obtained at this Tokyo shipping order fair, the total number of intentional orders is more than 4.5 million tons and less than 5 million tons. According to last year's estimate of China's share in the world's shipbuilding industry, the share of orders from South Korean shipbuilders should be between 80 and 1 million tons, and the share of Hyundai Heavy Industry should be between 300,000 and 400,000 tons. ”

"Then let's aim for a share of 400,000 tons, and then negotiate with Daewoo, Samsung, Hanjin and Halla, do you have any strategy?"

"Ready, through contact with the government financing department. Director Jin will support our share division ......"

Lin Miyou was talking, when suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door of the conference room from outside. Li Junren, a newly recruited college student at the door, hurriedly opened the door, and a man in his forties hurriedly ran in.

When the visitor saw Li Pucheng, he immediately bowed deeply, and before he raised his head, he spoke: "Team leader, I just got the news that our people at Narita Airport have found another team, and it is likely that they are also here to participate in the order fair." There were more than two hundred of them, and they took a charter flight......"

"Charter a plane?" Li Pucheng frowned, a team of more than 200 people also chartered a plane, which company is so wealthy?

"Have you found out who it is, is it the orderer or the builder?"

"Yes. We've got that inquiring. The people who came from China Dagang Shipbuilding Heavy Company and Xinke Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. were supposed to be builders. ”

"Chinese!" Li Pucheng breathed a sigh of relief. Laughed: "The Chinese don't have to worry, let's keep an eye on the Japanese and Europeans." ”

"But there were a lot of people who came, and they even chartered a plane......"

Li Pucheng impatiently reprimanded: "Asi! The Chinese have no sense of existence in the international shipbuilding industry at all, and they do not pose a threat to our Korean shipbuilding industry.

"Yes, I see!"

The messenger bowed again in a panic, then turned and ran out of the conference room.

Not long after the man ran out, the door to the conference room opened again. A young man in a smart black suit, a red tie, and gold-rimmed glasses pushed open the door from the outside without knocking, and then made a respectful gesture of please.

A wealthy man in his forties with a big back walked into the conference room calmly. Seeing his arrival, whether it was Li Pucheng or the other people who were working in the conference room, they hurriedly stood up, bowed to the end in unison, and shouted in unison: "Good manager!"

Li Zaiyong didn't even glance at the crowd, he sat on the main seat without giving up, his hands on the table, and let out a "hmm-" from his nostrils.

As if everyone had been pardoned, they straightened up and stood respectfully in place.

"Li Pucheng!"

"Manager, this is my own intelligence gathering and negotiation strategy. ”

Li Pucheng picked up the report document at hand and handed it to Li Zaiyong with both hands.

Li Zaiyong took it and glanced at it casually, threw it aside, and nodded: "Will Director Jin of the Ship Finance Department support our strategy?"

"Yes, I have personally confirmed that Director Kim will agree to our quota division to limit the competitiveness of our Korean shipbuilders. ”

"Then follow this strategy. Lee Jae-yong nodded with satisfaction.

"There is another thing to report to Manager Li, our people found a team of Chinese shipbuilders at Narita Airport, and we suspect that there will be Chinese involved in this order meeting......"

"What is there to worry about in this way, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing. The main thing is to keep an eye on the orderer, and our enemies are mainly the Japanese. ”

"Yes, I see. ”

"But, uh-" Lee Jae-yong pondered, thought for a moment and added, "Your work attitude is very good, just pay attention to the working methods." Chinese, find someone to check their movements, see what they do. ”

"Yes, the manager is really far-sighted, so I'll go down and make arrangements. ”

"That Li Junren, yes, it's you!" Li Pucheng looked up. I saw Li Junren, a college student standing at the gate and in charge of opening the door. Nodding his head at him, he said, "You go now." Investigate the movements of the Chinese!"

"Me?" Li Junren pointed at himself with some surprise, and hurriedly stood up excitedly: "Yes, I'll go now!"

......

"Our main opponent this time is the South Koreans, and the good days of the Japanese in the shipbuilding industry have passed, especially this time the appreciation of the yen will have a huge impact on Japanese shipbuilders. ”

"Therefore, our strategy should be to unite with the Japanese to jointly create the 'South Korean threat theory' to suppress the rise of the South Koreans in the international shipbuilding industry. ”

Hu Wenhai will have the plan in his hand. Give it to the person sitting next to you in duplicate.

A fleet of 12 Toyota Extended Coasters raced along the highway from Narita Airport to Tokyo. Fortunately, the quality of highway construction in Japan is quite good, and the Toyota Coaster is also a very good official car.

On the last row of seats in the first Coaster, Hu Wenhai quietly waited for the people around him to read the plan book in his hand, and then continued: "This trip to Japan will be mainly divided into two parts. One part is the Tokyo Operation, which is mainly based on the centralized ship order meeting to strive for a part of the international shipbuilding orders. The other part is dominated by Nagasaki. I have contacted Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and they will arrange our technicians. Visit Mitsubishi's shipyard in Nagasaki. ”

"Mitsubishi is so easy to talk to?" said Director Sun, looking stunned and a little incredulous.

Dagang Shipyard is one of the earliest enterprises to participate in the international shipbuilding industry, as early as 1980, it undertook the construction of China's first export 10,000-ton bulk carrier, which is China's first export cargo ship built in full accordance with Lloyd's Register standards.

It should be said that Dagang Shipyard is still relatively energetic and energetic among domestic shipbuilding enterprises, otherwise Director Sun would not have taken the initiative to seek change and take the initiative to go abroad.

You must know that even if Dagang Shipyard faces operational problems, it is completely possible to push the problem to the higher authorities and the government. Asking for business and policies from above, asking for loans from the government, and throwing off burdens, anyway, a big port ship weighs tens of thousands of workers, and no one dares to bear the responsibility for making it obviously bad business, and there will definitely be the state to take care of it.

As the person in charge of such an enterprise, Director Sun can obviously lie down and drag the problem down, but he just pulls down his face to ask Hu Wenhai to learn from experience, and even thinks of opening up the international market, which is really admirable.

As a person in charge of a pioneering enterprise, Director Sun will of course have some contact with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the world's largest shipbuilding company.

However, it is a pity that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries did not care at all about the olive branch handed out by Dagang Shipbuilding. I also want to know that the Dagang Shipyard may be the No. 1 in China, but when it is put in the world, who knows which small transparent you are? China's shipbuilding industry has no sense of existence in the international community at all.

It is precisely because of this that Director Sun is really curious about how Hu Wenhai can hook up with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

"Well, Director Sun, don't look at the Japanese shipbuilding industry as if it is the first in the world today, their life is actually not very easy. ”

Hu Wenhai sneered: "Japanese shipyards produced 17.5 million tons in 1973, but by 1980 there were not even 5 million tons, and the entire industry lost more than 70%. How much capital depreciation pressure will there be after the 70% of the capacity is phased out?"

Director Sun's eyes widened, and he shook his head in disbelief and said, "More than 12.5 million tons of idle capacity?

Chinese, who have just opened their eyes to the world, have a very serious lack of understanding of the international market. Of course, this is not to say that they do not want to understand the world, but that they simply do not have this ability, or that they do not have this channel.

It's not like you can get this kind of industry macro data casually. Either you have to have a relationship with the relevant government departments, or you need to pay for a commercial research company, or at worst, you must be proficient in foreign languages and pay close attention to foreign industry journals.

Director Sun is an expert in the industry in China, but he is still blind to the international shipbuilding market. The only "foreign businessman" I have come into contact with is the Bao brothers, the Xiangjiang shipbuilding giants who came to the door by themselves. When dealing with real "foreigners", you have no idea at all, so you can say that you don't even know where the door is opening.

How could he not be surprised to hear that Japan has 12.5 million tons of idle shipbuilding capacity? The idle shipbuilding capacity alone is already more than five times more than the production capacity of the entire shipbuilding industry in China at this age -- China has even just reached the level of building ocean-going 10,000-ton bulk carriers!

"That's right. Hu Wenhai nodded affirmatively and said calmly: "Part of these production capacity is due to the shrinkage of the international shipping market, and the other part is due to the rise of South Korea's shipbuilding industry to steal Japanese orders." ”

"The Japanese shipbuilding industry had the highest share of the international market. It was in 1976 that it reached 56% of the international market share. And the international share of the Korean shipbuilding industry. Last year it was 17.4 percent. Since the beginning of this year. Japan's shipbuilding industry is facing a cliff-like loss and is likely to retreat below 40% in the international market. ”

Hu Wenhai spread his hands and said with a smile: "It can be seen that the Korean shipbuilding industry is basically stepping on the Japanese. With the signing of the Plaza Agreement earlier, the Japanese yen has increased in value by more than 5% in the market, which has led to a large amount of international hot money entering Japan. In the future, no, it should be said that Japan has already stepped on the threshold of inflation and financial prosperity. This is good for the vitality of the Japanese economy, but it is a serious negative for the manpower and capital-intensive industry such as shipbuilding. ”

"Hey. This news is good!" Director Sun looked at the information in his hand and scratched his head anxiously: "But even if Japan has so much idle production capacity, we still don't have the money to introduce it!"

"Hehe, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is not our domestic enterprise, and class brothers can transfer technology to you for free. Hu Wenhai nodded: "Mitsubishi, it's not profitable, I can't afford to be early, I don't have the money to let you visit the shipyard?"

Director Sun was stunned and looked at Hu Wenhai: "So, Mr. Hu ......"

"Well, I've got $300 million ready. The preparation was used to introduce their shipbuilding equipment and technology that were currently idle in Japan. This time, I asked Director Sun to help me gather shipbuilding experts from Bohai Province in the hope of being able to understand the entire shipbuilding system of the Japanese. Completely copy and introduce their full set of advanced technology in China, and strive to achieve the goal of self-proliferation without relying on the Japanese after the introduction. ”

"If Director Sun is willing to cooperate fully with ST Heavy Industries, I can lease some of the equipment and technology to Dagang Shipyard. ”

Hu Wenhai swore his word.

Director Sun was dumbfounded.

That's $300 million, even if it's just a part, it's already mouthwatering.

"I don't know what Mr. Hu means by comprehensive cooperation?" he asked cautiously.

"The two of us cooperated to make a joint bid at this ship centralized order meeting. The winning target was jointly built by Dagang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry and Xinke Heavy Industry. Specifically, Dagang Shipbuilding is responsible for the construction of a part of the section, while Xinke Heavy Industry is responsible for the construction of the main section and the docking of the main section. Dagang Shipyard must be completely renovated to conform to the technical system of Xinke Heavy Industry. Of course, the technology and personnel for the transformation can be provided by Xinke Heavy Industry. ”

Director Sun lowered his head and pondered, this so-called transformation technology and personnel should be the equipment and technology that Hu Wenhai said could be leased to Dagang Shipyard. In this way, if he does not agree to his request, Dagang Shipbuilding will not be able to obtain the support of Xinke Heavy Industry.

Of course, he has also heard of the technology of the shipbuilding method in the general section, whether it is Zheng Lei of Xinke Heavy Industry or Professor Liu of Dagang Maritime College, they have praised this technology to the sky.

Judging from the ship that has been delivered, the general section shipbuilding method has a significant effect on shortening the shipbuilding construction period, but it puts forward quite high requirements for the management and production of the shipyard.

Whether Dagang Shipyard can achieve these requirements is really difficult in the view of Director Sun. At least, Xinke Heavy Industry is a private enterprise, and whether it is punishment or reward, it is the manager's word. But if the Dagang shipyard puts forward such high requirements, can the workers below complete it without complaints?

"I understand what Mr. Hu meant, but this matter is very important, can you please give me some time, I need to think about it, and I also need to communicate with other management in the factory. ”

Hu Wenhai nodded indifferently and agreed: "No problem, we are going to stay in Japan for at least two months this time, and Factory Master Sun can think clearly." ”

......

"Quick, keep up with them!" Li Junren, patting the driver's seat, anxiously pointed to a Toyota Coaster team that had just come off the highway.

When the taxi driver heard this, he hurriedly hung up the gear, and then stepped on the accelerator and hung unhurriedly at the rear of the convoy.

However, as soon as they entered the city, the convoy did not go far, and suddenly separated and drove in two directions. Li Junren thought about it and thought that this should be the Chinese who arranged the accommodation in two places in order to save money, and decided to keep up with the smaller convoy in front.

Crooked. He turned out to be the Tokyo bidding team left by Hu Wenhai and Director Sun. The convoy drove all the way into the city of Tokyo. Stopped in front of a hotel in Koto Ward.

Li Junren paid the taxi fare. Hurriedly jumped out of the car and looked in the direction of the Coaster convoy not far away.

The original Coaster convoy of more than ten cars, eight cars were separated from the halfway, and in the end, only three cars arrived at the Shiomi Hotel in Koto District. The remaining eight cars drove directly to Ueno Station, took the southbound Shinkansen, and after connecting with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, they directly made a Shinkansen to cross most of Japan and go to the Mitsubishi Shipyard in Nagasaki.

Shiomi Hotel is a budget hotel. The height of the nine-storey building can provide more than 200 rooms. In order to arrange the accompanying personnel of this bidding, Hu Wenhai simply chartered two floors of this hotel as a temporary foothold for the bidding team in Tokyo.

The venue for this event was provided by Sanno Shipbuilding in Tokyo, which is not far from the Shiomi area, and it takes about half an hour to walk. In fact, Koreans live at the Kiba Hotel not far away, and the distance between the two is not too far, and you can even get a telescope to see each other's beds. However, the Kiba Hotel of the Koreans is a famous business hotel, and the environment is of course much better than the budget Shiomi Hotel, which makes Li Junren, who secretly follows behind, a little pouting.

He looked up and saw the convoy parked at the door of the Shioma Hotel. Soon someone ran out of it. Just looking at the figure, it was clear that this man didn't look like a Japanese person - too tall and too strong. Too handsome.

Fang Jiange, who looks quite like Wan Ziliang, doesn't look like a Japanese person at all from any angle. This is not derogatory, Wan Ziliang was also handsome when he was young!

When Hu Wenhai saw Fang Jiange, he immediately laughed. During this time, it seemed that Fang Jiange should be said to have completed the task he gave him perfectly. Not only did he borrow $300 million from the United States, but he also successfully found a cooperative bank in Japan to provide leverage to enter the foreign exchange market.

"Mr. Hu has worked hard, the hotel has all been arranged, please rest first. ”

Fang Jiange beckoned, so that the bidding team members who had just gotten out of the car and couldn't find the north came back to their senses, and lined up and walked into the hotel.

Hu Wenhai and the others were almost gone, so they freed their hands, shook hands with Fang Jiange and said with a smile: "It's good to have you, otherwise I don't know how much trouble there will be in Japan." ”

"Mr. Hu is too polite, this little thing is nothing. Fang Jiange grinned, obviously very happy that he was able to obtain Hu Wenhai's approval.

He turned around in the United States and Japan, and he felt more and more how terrifying the hidden energy behind Hu Wenhai was. In Fang Jiange's view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Hu Wenhai is the richest man in China, who owns 1% of IBM's shares, and the $300 million that he spent on the share-based mortgage loan is actually privately owned by a Chinese.

I thought that 300 million dollars was enough to open people's eyes. But when he arrived in Japan, Nobuyuki Idei, the key candidate for Sony's next president, personally came forward and took him to contact Mitsui Bank, and finally unexpectedly provided 20 times the leverage of foreign exchange market futures.

How deep is the water behind such a huge network of interests? To be able to mobilize so many overseas relations, and how high are the upper-level resources involved?

Hawkers, I'm afraid I can't even imagine that Fang Jiange is actually the only one standing behind these relationships.

However, Hu Wenhai would not take the initiative to lift this layer of fog, it was best for Fang Jiange to be frightened. After all, I am afraid that in the future, there will be a huge amount of more than a billion dollars under his operation, although there is a professional banking institution supervision, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have a brain short-circuit. In order to be responsible for himself and him, let's ask him to continue to misunderstand.

"Oh, yes. Fang Jiange hurriedly waved his hand and greeted a young woman in the hotel lobby.

"This is the helper I am looking for among Japanese students, Chen Fa. Fang Jiange Zhengse introduced: "Miss Chen, this is the chairman of Xinke Company, Hu Wenhai and Mr. Hu. ”

Hu Wenhai looked up and down, this Chen hair was quite beautiful. The short hair looks heroic, and there is a charming charm when he laughs, which is a bit of a "top match for Jia Ling".

"Hello Mr. Hu, welcome to Japan. Chen Fa smiled heartily and stretched out his hand. (To be continued.) )
