Chapter 790: Hangbin Society
Of course, Fukuhara said this, not to mean that business will not be done, but to remind the headquarters to take countermeasures, at least let him know.
Covering his head and doing things so hard, he said... He didn't realize it before, but he was really physically and mentally exhausted in the past two days!
Shigeji Ueshima did not mean to raise his own value by concealing the news, and it was also necessary to keep the heads of these overseas branches aware of the changes in the world situation.
"We already know the general content of that proposal, one is to limit the price, if it can't be limited, it may increase the tariff, and the other is to let us account for the production capacity, and we are not allowed to sell more than 40% of the production capacity in the United States!" said Shigeji Uejima, in a low tone.
"Forty percent?" Fukuhara exclaimed.
"We're now releasing ninety percent of our production capacity over there!" Shigeji Ueshima let out a sigh and suddenly sneered, "The Americans are in a hurry!"
"Yes...... What should I do?" Fukuhara is even more anxious, and the Americans will make big moves when they are in a hurry, and even make a series of moves, and now it is said that the largest market in Ben is the United States, and many excessive conditions will be raised.
"There are not so many things that can be used in China, and neither can Europe, and the problem is there, and the United States ......," Shigeji Uejima said and shook his head, "In short, we must develop another market, and the industry that the country has spent 30 billion dollars to build must always see a return!"
"Hey Yi!" Fukuhara nodded repeatedly.
"China should be able to digest some of it, and the most important rare earth in the mineral raw materials we purchase comes from China...... That's actually the most suitable!"
"I heard that there is a big rare earth mine in Taiwan. ”
"There is an alluvial cerium lanthanum phosphate mine in Taitung, but it has been taken away by the Americans, and it is still a project ......of the military," Shigeji Uejima sighed with his head tilted.
The two of them were silent at the same time, digesting what had just been said.
Resources for products, products for resources, for modern industry, rare earth is a very important mineral resources, can be used everywhere, now I don't know if there are larger rare earth mines elsewhere, but before I find anything else, China has ready-made.
"I've brought two people with me, do you have a way to bring them to meet the person who is running this project?" said Juji Ueshima in a low voice to break the silence.
"Yes...... We've heard that the guy is not very old...... We've compiled all the information into a report to the headquarters!" Fukuhara said softly.
"We have to make sure it's the same person, but it feels like it! The style of doing things is very similar, and the bidding document asks for the removal of the brand logo! But this information is not enough! We have to make sure that it is not a person, who he is, and his background!"
Uejima Shigeji stared at Fukuhara's right guard, his mouth moved extremely fast, the words were accented, and the exclamation mark was flying.
Fukuhara was sweating profusely, and he had already spent a lot of money to find out the news, but if the results disappointed the headquarters, his future was ......
Shigeji Ueshima looked at Fukuhara's dazed and lost appearance, knowing that this was the helplessness of the staff with asymmetric information on the front line, and sighed and said:
"We're keeping a close eye on their plans for the next five years, and earlier this month, China held an economic seminar with some people from the World Bank, called the Bashan Wheel Conference, you know?"
"I know!"
"However, there is a more important meeting on the tenth that has been secretly opened, have you heard of the Hangbin Society?"
Hangbin Meeting?
Fukuhara's right guard hesitated, shaking his head like a rattle.
"No, it's right, the news is blocked,......" Shigeji Ueshima stared out the window and let out a long breath.
“...... Be... This kid's?" Fukuhara asked subconsciously.
He just heard about it, he didn't get a report on the specific situation, and he didn't have the qualifications, he didn't expect this to be an important meeting, so important that it had an abbreviation!
Shigeji Uejima nodded: "On the day of the 10th, at the Hangcheng Hotel in China, this person said at an internal meeting that China is about to implement a plan, requiring all goods entering China not to carry brand logos, and if they do, they will have to be charged according to the advertised goods, that is, the price will be greatly reduced!
"Bagaya Road, how can this be reasonable, this is simply ...... Is it true?" Fukuhara's face flushed.
Uejima Shigeji ignored Fukuhara's emotions and crossed his hands on his waist: "It sounds ridiculous to say that it is a briefing party, but it is not ruled out that the Chinese really want to do this!"
"Why?"
"You think he's talking nonsense?"
"No... Isn't it?" Fukuhara had a ridiculous expression.
"We don't know very well, after all, it's not a formal meeting, but Hangzhou is also a place where policies are often issued...... The timing is so coincidental!"
"Can this help?" Fukuhara muttered to himself.
"There were their staff at that time, as well as two of us, British, American, German, and more than a dozen people interested in the Chinese market......"
Uejima Shigeji exhaled and shook his head, he couldn't tell someone of Fukuhara's level the details of that meeting, but what happened at that time had already been formed into two written reports and placed in the intelligence room of the headquarters to study thoroughly.
At first, the researchers felt absurd and shocked, but in the end, only shock and fear remained.
All the researchers came to the same conclusion: it makes perfect sense to put yourself in the shoes of trade importers, especially underdeveloped countries or developing countries!
If economic trade is a war, trade protection is a weapon, but this "de-branding" argument is simply the economic version of Einstein's mass-energy equation, and the thing developed from this equation is, of course, nuclear weapons!
If the product is just a product and does not count the brand, then the accumulation of developed countries for so many years is not treated as garbage, how to increase the added value?!
A small Chinese actually generously threw out such an important theory.
But at that time, except for the Chinese, all other countries were developed countries, and if this kind of "debranding" trick could only hurt each other, so it was useless!
But it would be terrible if China shared its experience with their "friendly" countries in this regard!
Juji Uejima unconsciously touched his forehead, all sweaty.
Fukuhara didn't see Juji Uejima's face, and was still muttering, "It's very informal!"
"yes, that's the weird thing, but to say something so important,...... It's like a child coming up with a good way to deal with adults, it's a scoundrel but it's very practical, but can adults use this to hurt each other?"
Komatsu and Nosuke Shinichi were beaten beyond recognition by David of the United States, and on the third day, they had already returned to China to submit detailed incident reports to various companies, and Mitsui's headquarters only put together the reports of these two people with the news here in Xiangjiang yesterday.
This was quite a twist and turn: because it was found that there were many inaccuracies in the personal reports of Komatsu and Nosuke Shinichi, the intelligence room also deliberately brought the two people who were recuperating from their injuries from home to the Mitsui headquarters for a good interrogation all day, and finally spelled out the "truth".
The same are all underage children, the same huge project, and the time difference is four days, whether it is a child or a batch!
Whether these are the next generation of successors that China is cultivating must be clarified.
"Anyway!"
Juji Uejima closed his eyes and shook his head: "Now that everyone is tightly sealing this news, I can't tell you the details! Blue Ocean!"
“...... Blue Ocean.. Plan ......," Fukuhara couldn't help but move, "Do you want me to ask again? ”
Shigeji Ueshima glanced at him: "There's no need to ask now, someone has seen him, as long as it's sure it's a person, then this plan must be true."
The two people I brought with me this time, the two you saw wearing masks, were the witnesses, and they also had a fight with the Americans who were also present because of this incident!"
"I've heard... Won the battle?" Fukuhara asked cautiously, "Is this true?"
"Yes,... Winning is winning, but after all, it is two against one, and winning is not glorious, and it involves American diplomats...... The other party was seriously injured...... In order to exempt the Chinese government, it also issued a certificate ......"
As Uejima described in a whisper, Fukuhara's mouth opened wider and wider, and he could almost swallow two eggs in the end.
