Chapter 802: A New Lifesaver

"Uchida-kun, the acquisition of Iketani Manufacturing and Weihao Electric Company by Sanli Steel at the same time is the most important decision of Sanli so far, and it is directly related to the life and death of Sanritsu. In the future, Sanli's marketing will have to ask Uchida-kun to contribute more, please. ”

In the office of the chairman of the Sanli Steel Works, Chairman Michihiko Kobayashi solemnly bowed deeply to his new subordinate, Yu Uchida. Uchida Yu hurriedly returned the salute, and his face showed some of the resoluteness of a person who died as a confidant.

After several rounds of deliberations, the board of directors of Iketani Steel finally decided to buy all of Iketani Steel's shares for USD 2.5 billion, and Iketani became a subsidiary of Sanritsu Steel. The directors all took the money and left, and Uchida, like the rest of his colleagues, became an employee of Sanritsu Steel.

At the same time as the acquisition of Iketani Manufacturing, Sanli Steel also spent 5 billion yuan to purchase Weihao Electric, a nuclear power division under Weihao Company of the United States. These two acquisitions have exhausted all of Sanli's funds, and also sent a very clear signal to the outside world, that is, Sanli has begun to seek new business transformation, and regards the third-generation nuclear power technology as a magic weapon to win. Of course, the disdainful privately called it a life-saving straw that Sanli had found.

Sanli Steel Institute was originally a steel enterprise, and later transformed into metallurgical equipment manufacturing, which was once prosperous in the seventies and eighties of the last century. Later, as Japan's local steel industry gradually changed from prosperity to decline, and China, a major country in the emerging iron and steel industry, reduced its dependence on Sanli because of its own metallurgical equipment manufacturing capacity, the metallurgical equipment business of Sanli Steel Institute began to decline, and it was difficult to support the huge empire of Sanli.

Since the 80s, Sanli has tried many new business directions, including mining machinery, chemical machinery, thermal power equipment, etc., but has failed to form a climate. Some businesses are slightly profitable, but others are losing money, and the profit level of the company is constantly declining.

A year ago, Yuto Hase, Sanritsu's marketing director, introduced Michihiko Uchida to Michihiko Kobayashi, and during the conversation, Uchida recommended a new direction to Michihiko Kobayashi, that is, third-generation nuclear power equipment.

Uchida said that the proportion of nuclear power in the global energy structure is bound to be higher and higher, especially in a country like Japan, where oil, coal and hydropower resources are seriously scarce, and the importance of nuclear power is undoubted. The nuclear power installations built so far in the world are all second-generation nuclear power, which has potential safety risks, and Chernobyl is a painful lesson.

In the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident, various nuclear power powers began to study third-generation nuclear power technology with a higher safety factor. The second-generation nuclear power plants built by countries around the world will be retired in the coming decades, and the third-generation nuclear power will inevitably replace them. Whoever can occupy a leading position in the third generation of nuclear power technology will be able to win such a huge market.

Michihiko Kobayashi immediately arranged for his subordinates to evaluate the proposal, and the conclusion was the same as what Uchida said. Many of the key technologies in the third generation of nuclear power have similarities with Sanli's existing technologies, and Sanli has inherent advantages if it turns to this direction. What Sanli lacks is the relevant patents of nuclear power, and the manufacturing capacity of high-pressure vessels, pipelines, valves and other components involved in nuclear power equipment.

For the former, Sanli happened to encounter a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that is, the world-renowned nuclear power technology company Weihao Electric has suffered serious losses due to poor management, and its owner is looking for a successor. In this world, you can't do whatever you want with technology, and there are many companies that have very powerful technology in their hands, but they are not good at doing business and are facing bankruptcy. If these technologies can be transferred to other companies, they may be able to bring the dead back to life and even create miracles. Michihiko Kobayashi believed that he was the man who could create miracles, so he resolutely spent a huge amount of $5 billion to buy Weihao Electric as a whole. As for how the former shareholders of Weihao Electric snickered with money, Michihiko Kobayashi didn't care.

The latter weakness was made up for by Yu Uchida who helped Michihiko Kobayashi. Uchida revealed to Michihiko Kobayashi that Iketani Manufacturing, which has strong capabilities in chemical equipment manufacturing, is at serious risk and is likely to be on the verge of bankruptcy in the short term, and that Sanri can initiate an acquisition of Iketani at the right time. Uchida didn't keep Michihiko Kobayashi waiting, and a year later, what he predicted happened, and Santachi bought Iketani Manufacturing for $2.5 billion, gaining all of its capabilities in high-voltage equipment.

With the two companies in place, Michihiko Kobayashi has formally established his strategy to enter the third-generation nuclear power market and has mobilized company-wide resources to promote this strategy. Yu Uchida retains the position of marketing director at the new Iketani Works, where he is responsible for market development of third-generation nuclear power. He is full of confidence, hoping to show his skills in this new battlefield and wash away the shame of repeated defeats in the past.

Not to mention how Uchida Yu worked hard, looking back at Feng Xiaochen, the initiator of this drama, he was in his small courtyard at this time, greeting his brother-in-law Du Xiaoyuan, who had returned triumphantly from Africa, and Zhou Xiaoxiao, a Longdian construction worker whose current identity was still confusing.

"That's what Lao Hei is all about, looking at the five big and three rough bluffs, I went down with a wrench and gave him a scoop as soon as I pulled it. Sister, brother-in-law, let me tell you, I was never scared from the beginning, who am I......"

Du Xiaoyuan was nibbling on the apple that his sister Du Xiaodi peeled for him, while spitting and boasting about his brilliant deeds. A year has passed since the last time in North Africa was in distress, and Du Xiaoyuan has told his story hundreds of times in the Rambatu Industrial Park, and countless new versions have been derived. In the end, the people in the entire industrial park hid when they saw Du Xiaoyuan, for fear that he would be forced to listen to the story, Du Xiaoyuan couldn't find a new audience, so he took his girlfriend Zhou Xiaoxiao back to China to save his relatives. Of course, what he said to Zhou Xiaoxiao was not to come back and brag, but "I have to talk to my family about the two of us."

"This kid, I know that he is not happy, how suspenseful it is, thanks to Xiaoxiao by the side, or I don't know what it will be. ”

The second elder of the Du family, who rushed from Tongyuan to the capital to greet his son and prospective daughter-in-law, did not hear about this until this time. Fortunately, I saw my son sitting in front of me in front of me, knowing that those things were in the past, and I felt some comfort in my heart. When reprimanding their son, they can't ignore the feelings of the prospective daughter-in-law, and verbally attribute all the credit to the prospective daughter-in-law, but as for the heart, it is a different thought:

Such a beautiful girl, and so young, can she look down on my family Xiaoyuan? If she runs away, Xiaoyuan has taken such a big risk for her, wouldn't it be a loss?

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, you see, I'm not good?" Du Xiaoyuan said with a grin.

"What's good!" Du Minghua said with a straight face, "When I come back this time, I am not allowed to go again! I would rather raise you than let you go to that place in Africa to mess around." ”

"That's not good!" Du Xiaoyuan was anxious, "I told Ruidong that I would play a big game in Africa this year and invest in buying a mine." Xiaoxiao also told the unit that she would resign when she went back and work with me. ”

"Uncle, aunt, in fact, Africa is not so dangerous. Hearing Du Xiaoyuan talk about himself, Zhou Xiaoxiao also had to come out to play a round, "Xiaoyuan is still young now, and it is time to make a career." He told me that he used to do nothing every day in Tongyuan, wasting his youth, and it was only after he arrived in Africa that he found his value. If you don't let him go, he'll come back and he'll be in ruins. ”

"It's better to be scared than to be scared there......" Che Yueying said in a sneer, Zhou Xiaoxiao spoke, she was inconvenient to refute directly, but if she wanted her to agree to Du Xiaoyuan to go to Africa again, she would never do it.

Du Xiaoyuan hurriedly asked his sister and brother-in-law for help: "Sister, brother-in-law, you can help me talk about it, I am full of energy now, and I want to do a big job." ”

Du Xiaodi glared at him, then turned his head to look at Feng Xiaochen. Feng Xiaochen just smiled and didn't say anything, not daring to meddle in this family matter. He was the first to know about Du Xiaoyuan's distress, and he was also scared into a cold sweat at that time. This brother-in-law is the only son of Taishan Taishui's family, if there is a mistake, how can he explain to Taishan Taishui. Now that Du Xiaoyuan is back well, but he said that he will go back to Africa again, how dare Feng Xiaochen endorse him.

Du Xiaoyuan didn't wait for the support of his sister and brother-in-law, he could only start with his girlfriend, he said: "Dad, Mom, think about it, as far as my virtue in Tongyuan, can there be a girl willing to take a fancy to me? ”

"It's all a no-nonsense thing...... Cha Yueying muttered in a voice just big enough for others to hear.

"Xiaoxiao, you tell my parents how things are going with the two of us. Du Xiaoyuan said to Zhou Xiaoxiao angrily.

"I ......" Zhou Xiaoxiao was inevitably a little embarrassed, how could she speak about this? After hesitating for a while, she blushed and put her mouth into Du Xiaodi's ear and whispered something. Du Xiaodi was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed joy. She stood up, pulled her mother aside, and said to her: "Xiaoxiao said, she's been two months......"

"What?"

Che Yueying was stunned, but she reacted immediately, turned around and said decisively to Du Xiaoyuan: "Okay, Xiaoyuan, since you want to go, then go." Xiaoxiao is right, you are doing business at the right time, and you can't nest in this small place in Tongyuan. However, you can go, Xiaoxiao must stay!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded. After a while, I heard Du Xiaoyuan shouting with a crying voice:

"Mom, I'm your own!"
