Chapter 325: Dongying

Tokyo, Hibiya Park.

Located between Chiyoda Imperial Palace and Ginza, Yurakucho is one of Tokyo's busiest districts, and with the rapid development of Toei in the last two decades, it has become the densest cluster of high-rise buildings in the world.

In '82, Mitsubishi Properties acquired a block across the street from Ginza, and built six business districts ranging from 10 to 30 floors, and in addition to serving as the headquarters of Mitsubishi Properties and the headquarters of Mitsubishi Bank, the other four buildings were sold as commercial properties.

Hoffman International's financial investment bank, real estate investment bank set up 14 companies with oriental characteristics in Dongying, and when it entered Dongying in 84, it bought the eighth to tenth floors of Building 3 as the headquarters of Dongying.

With the signing of the Plaza Agreement, housing prices here have doubled in just over two years.

Originally, Hoffmann International had less than 100 employees, and nearly 10,000 square meters of three floors was considered a waste.

But in just two years, 14 companies have now hired more than 3,000 employees, making these three floors seem overcrowded.

However, most of the staff at Hoffmann International's real estate agency, which accounts for 60 percent of Hoffman's population, are working outside the home, and more than a dozen stores have been set up across Tokyo.

At the end of today's work, most of the employees of all the companies under the Hoffmann international structure came to the group headquarters to welcome the chairman of the group, Jonas, from Switzerland.

The people on this isolated island, because of the lack of resources and natural and man-made disasters, are not only difficult to self-sufficient, but also live in crisis all the time.

After they were born, they struggled on the survival line, and in order to survive, they could only rely on the big guys, the strong, and could not be slaves, so they faced an existential crisis.

Therefore, since ancient times, they have had a complex personality of the coexistence of the wolf of strategy and the servility of the strong.

But as this servility grows, extreme inferiority will turn into extreme pride, and in order to survive, they can do all kinds of unbelievable and murderous acts.

This kind of ethnic identity is extremely rare in the world, and even if there are some such ethnic groups in other regions, it is not as distinct as the Dongying people because they do not have the size of the number of Dongying people and the harsh environment of the Dongying people.

Jonas became famous at a young age, not only has he doubled his assets in the past three years and become the world's most famous investor, but also because of his single-handedly integrated global automotive industry, he has become the idol of countless Dongying people.

In the 80s, the automotive industry was catching up with Armenia.

Their Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Suzuki, Isuzu, Fujifilm, including Daihatsu that was later annexed. These nine major automobile companies have burst out with unstoppable vigor in this era, attacking cities and plundering cities all over the world.

It was because of their impact that the automotive industry in Armenia began to shrink, and almost all British cars were killed.

In the Eastern Bloc, in addition to the Soviet Union's car scale, Skoda is barely a younger brother, and there are almost no car manufacturers that can be called large.

In the Western camp, there are currently mainly Peugeot and Citroen in France, Fiat in Italy, and then car manufacturers in Germany and Armenia.

German automobiles are unmatched by exquisite craftsmanship and cannot be compared with Armenia in terms of scale, but they are still at the top of the pyramid of the automobile industry in terms of technology.

Dongying Automobile is aiming at German automobiles and setting off a wave of revolution in the automobile industry.

However, except for Toyota, the scale of other automobile manufacturers is still small and is still in the development period.

Jonas has successively acquired Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Skoda, Volvo and Opel, not only covering the entire automotive industry with its product line, but also its own parts supply system.

In terms of the scale of car production, the current production scale of Hoffmann Automobile Company ranks seventh in the world.

But if you add Volvo's trucks and Steyr's trucks, Hoffmann Automobiles' production scale has ranked third in the world.

This kind of hero who single-handedly changes the pattern of the world's automobile industry happens to be the most admired by Dongying people.

Financial investment can also be said to be luck, and the times create heroes. However, the integration of industry does not allow for opportunistic shortcuts.

In addition to the European media has been advocating Jonas, outside of Europe, it is the people of Dongying who worship Jonas the most.

What's more, Jonas's height of 1.92 meters, handsome appearance, and strong physique are all coveted but unattainable by Dongying people.

In Toying, Jonas conforms to all their fantasies, so his prestige and popularity far surpass those of other regions.

When Jonas's car stopped in front of Building 3 in the Mitsubishi Foundation's business district, tens of thousands of people had gathered in front of the building, half of whom were teenagers.

A smile and a gentle wave of Jonas can cause countless crazy screams, and many little girls even burst into tears with excitement.

This popularity has far surpassed that of the average star.

Hannah sat next to Jonas with Sophia in her arms, and when she saw this crazy scene, she was surprised for a long time. "Looks like we can't go in with you. ”

Jonas was also afraid of accidents, nodded his head, and said to Mikiros: "You personally send Mrs. and Sophia to the Akasaka Imperial Palace first, and confirm the order of the evening meeting with the Dongying business community." ”

The Akasaka Imperial Palace is the state guesthouse of Toei, where most of the members of the imperial family live, and it also serves as a hospitality to dignitaries from all over the world.

Jonas came to Dongying this time, and the six major consortia of Dongying all expressed a warm welcome, and also put forward a request for talks with Jonas.

Mitsubishi Corporation, because of its closest relationship with Jonas, became the host of Jonas's visit to Toei.

In order to show its appreciation for Jonas, a rising star within the alliance of interests, Mitsubishi Corporation arranged for Jonas's residence to be held at the State Guesthouse.

When Jonas stepped out of the van, the crowd in the street boiled, and the police officers joined hands to form a human wall, which also looked a little precarious at this time.

This made Sharon and Rohsari nervous, and they formed a human wall, guarding Jonas in the middle.

Bennett had arranged a grand welcome ceremony, which included dozens of middle-level and high-ranking people at the gate to bow to Yonas, and then shake hands one by one.

But seeing the current situation, the police in charge of security, the security personnel of the Mitsubishi Foundation, immediately came over to negotiate and arranged for Jonas to advance the building.

I can't pretend to be better, and Jonas doesn't have too many regrets, this situation is really too scary.

After getting out of the car, he just waved his hand to the crowd in all directions, and didn't even have time to see if there were any pleasing beauties, so he walked quickly into the lobby of Building 3.

The Mitsubishi Foundation is the second largest consortium in terms of asset size, second only to the Mitsui Foundation.

They are mainly composed of 28 large enterprises, and they are the largest conglomerates in Japan.

Its core companies include the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Motors, Mitsubishi Electric, Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Kirin Beer, Asahi Glass, etc.

The group mainly focuses on automobiles, complete equipment, munitions, electronics, petrochemicals, aircraft, shipbuilding, nuclear energy and other industries, and controls Japan's arms industry.

They were originally the largest consortium in Toei, but because their development was not as smooth as the Mitsui Foundation, they have now fallen to second place.

The Mitsui Consortium is currently composed of 25 major companies. Mitsui Bank, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and Mitsui Fudosan are the three pillar companies of the consortium.

Its core companies include Sakura Bank, Mitsui & Co., New Prince Paper, Toshiba, Sony, Sanyo, NEC, Toyota Motor, Mitsukoshi, Toray, Mitsui Fudosan and others.

The consortium has strengths in the chemical, heavy machinery, integrated electrical machinery, automobile manufacturing, real estate, nuclear power generation, semiconductor, medical and office electronic equipment industries.

Their rise is mainly due to the rapid development of the electronics industry and the automobile industry, and these two industries, one is not related to Jonas, and the other is a competitor.

The Mitsubishi consortium is different, and they have a very close relationship with the alliance of interests in the arms, heavy industry, shipbuilding, minerals, petroleum and other industries.

In the hall, in addition to the staff of Hoffman International, there are also many core members of Mitsubishi Corporation.

Yayoijiro, whom Jonas once dealt with, and Iwasaki Toyokawa of the Iwasaki family were all welcome.

Unlike the Hoffman Consortium, which is controlled by one of Jonas's families, the Mitsubishi Consortium has dozens of members, and they hold shares in each other, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know their holdings.

However, no matter how you calculate it, the Iwasaki family can still be said to be the largest shareholder of the Mitsubishi Foundation.

Starting from Yataro Iwasaki to Kuya Iwasaki, for more than 100 years, members of their family have firmly controlled the development direction of the entire consortium.

Compared with the Mitsubishi consortium, which occupies 10 percent of the economy in the Near East, the Hoffman consortium is still a small company.

Not to mention other companies, the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi alone is the largest bank in Toei, and its scale is not inferior to the two Swiss banks.

Mitsubishi Corporation is the largest general trading company in Toei, and according to the 1985 white paper, its total assets exceed 5 trillion yen, or 30 billion US dollars at the current exchange rate.

Neither of these two companies can be compared to Jonas.

However, they have hundreds, thousands of shareholders, and no one has absolute control over them, and can only develop according to a predetermined plan.

This is the so-called ship turn around, and people have different hearts, so Jonas is not afraid of them.

Just like what their country did to mainland countries decades ago, the Mitsubishi consortium is the mainland and Southeast Asian countries in this case, and Jonas is Dongying, and they can definitely beat each other back when they fight.

Yayoi Jiro is actually the nephew of the Iwasaki family, and his name Yayoi is based on the founders of the previous two generations of the Iwasaki family.

Toyokawa Iwasaki belongs to the sixth generation, a few years older than Jonas, and is currently the deputy manager of the international investment department of Dai-ichi Kogyo Bank, although the position is not high, but the position is important, and he is one of the heirs of the family very highly.

At the annual meeting at the end of last year, Jonas met them, and at this time they hugged them like old friends.

After introducing Jonas to his subordinates, Yayoi Jiro whispered, "Jonas, although I can understand your urgency about the company's inspection, I would like to ask you to go to the Akasaka State Guesthouse as soon as possible. ”

Yayoi Jiro's father is, of course, Koya Iwasaki, who is almost eighty years old.

The fourth-generation head of the Iwasaki family can be said to be the uncrowned king of Toei in the fifties, and he is also the leading figure in the struggle between Toei's local chaebol and the Armenian government.

When Emperor Toei met him in private, he had to perform a junior salute.

Jonas didn't expect that this visit to Dongying would alarm him, he looked at his watch, muttered for a while, and said, "Please give me half an hour, and then I'll go to the State Guesthouse with you." ”

Yayoijiro, who was already fifty years old, bowed ninety degrees to Jonas like a subordinate. "Thanksgiving. ”

Jonas's itinerary, like that of the country's leaders, was arranged by his subordinates to the minute, and he changed his itinerary and arrived early, which was not only a sign of respect for Iwasaki Koyata, but also a great face for the Mitsubishi Group in front of other consortiums.

Of course, this respect is mutual.

Iwasaki Koya was able to attend in person, and it was only natural for Jonas to change his itinerary for him, an old man who was nearly sixty years older than himself.

Next, it was time for Jonas to meet with the middle and senior management, and dozens of men and women of various ages bowed in front of Jonas, who shook hands with them one by one and asked them to introduce themselves in front of him.

Due to the tight schedule, today's meeting ceremony was compressed, and everyone only had time to introduce their positions and names.

Instead of taking the elevator, Jonas walked up the stairs. Surrounded by everyone, go up the stairs.

The Mitsubishi Business District is the headquarters of Mitsubishi Land and Bank of Mitsubishi, but not the headquarters of the Mitsubishi Group.

Their group headquarters are located in Marunaibayashi, a 120,000-square-meter piece of land across from the Imperial Palace, which was the business district of Tokyo City a few decades ago.

The other companies in this building had communicated beforehand and gave up the lobby and stairs on the first floor, and at this time, no one would disturb them.

On either side of the staircase, there stood a number of middle-level people, who lined up from the first floor to the eighth floor. This time, Jonas didn't even shake hands, just went all the way up, nodding to them.

Bennett followed him, and Nakahei Matsuda, president of Hoffman's equity investment bank, introduced the companies and divisions to Jonas in turn.

And Jim Rogers, Koenig and other management, only if they have enough status, they are lucky enough to go up the stairs with Jonas, and the others can only take the elevator upstairs.

Every clerk looked at Jonas with adoration and bowed.

Not to mention, it's a really good feeling.

Shake said
