One day at the end of November, Toshiba headquarters, Shibaura 1-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Toshiba Group President Ichiro Watari Sugichiro, rubbing the bridge of his swollen nose and the corners of his eyes, had just sent away Schwartzman, the broker of the Blackstone Fund.

That Yankee is really tricky, and this kind of business negotiation is enough to save face without having to personally accompany customers to chat with customers again and again as the president of the group company, and send a person in charge of a subordinate "Toshiba Electronics" subsidiary.

However, Schwartzman relied on his boss to be a former head of business in the United States, a wide range of contacts, and a run on various trusts, so that Ichiro Watarato Sugiichiro had to deal with this business he didn't want to do himself.

At this moment, just as Tarasato-Sugiichiro wanted to relax a little, his secretary came in in in a panic and interrupted him.

"President!"

"Don't you know who knocked on the door!" said Sugiichiro Watarato, angry.

"I'm very sorry! It's a big deal, today, the head of the business department of the machinery company was secretly taken away by the Metropolitan Police Department, and the general affairs department of the group learned about it, only to know that there are people from the Paris Coordinating Committee behind it, it seems that there is a big matter, do you want to listen to the report of the machinery company immediately?"

Watari Sugiichiro was stunned: "What's the situation? Who was taken away?"

"Hiroaki Hasegawa, head of the machine tool division of the machinery company, and Ryuji Nagabayashi, director of the foundry division, have been arrested in a surprise manner. Metropolitan Police Department personnel also raided the machinery company's contract room, and heard that there were Americans themselves on the scene to supervise it. ”

Sugiichiro Watarasato was suddenly so shocked that he couldn't speak.

The point is that he doesn't even know anything, what did the people in the machinery company do behind his back?

"Check yourself immediately! Call all the responsible personnel of the machinery company who are currently in charge!"

"Wait, you should also inform the president, let's be together in a moment. ”

This has to be said to be very ironic - when the raiding team came to the door, at the level of the group company, they didn't even know what the people of the machinery subsidiary had done - whether it was Chairman Masayoshi Saeki or President Sugiichiro Watarato, they were all in a state of confusion.

The secretary and the people of the General Affairs Department hurriedly took action, quickly gathering manpower and mobilizing materials.

An hour later, in the conference room of the president of the Toshiba Group, more than a dozen people met overnight.

The interim head of Toshiba Machinery, in front of the chairman and president, sincerely confessed:

“…… This is the case, since two years ago, Minister Hasegawa has been in the trade with the Soviet Union, in order to seek better performance, a lot of orders have been made. This batch of orders for five-axis linkage milling machines brought in a gross profit of about 20 million US dollars - when the Lucia people were bidding at that time, they were so generous that it was difficult for them to refuse, because they had never seen the Lucia people pay directly at a high price, and they didn't bargain for a dollar, and they felt that it was impossible to expose it, so they ......"

Sugiichiro Watari interrupted angrily: "Since you think it's impossible to be exposed, how did you expose it now?"

The interim person in charge didn't dare to confirm it, but said in embarrassment: "The direct cause of the revelation is that one of our employees in the machinery business department who had a conflict with Minister Hasegawa recently, named Kumagai Du, was instigated by someone.

After leaving his job, Kumagai was persuaded by high benefits to confide in what he knew. If nothing else, the people who oppose him should be from the CIA, or from the Paris Coordinating Committee.

However, according to our preliminary investigation, it is believed that there are other sources of information that initially leaked that 'this may have been done by our company', and after the other party had a suspicious direction, they focused resources on countering the employees of our business departments who had recently left the company. ”

Watari Sugiichiro swallowed with difficulty, the matter had reached this point, he didn't know how much impact it would have, he looked at President Saeki Justice, and asked dejectedly, "President, how big do you think this incident will be?"

"Do you think I can estimate it? The key depends on how strong the reaction of the Americans is -- if the reaction of the Americans is strong enough that Prime Minister Nakasone has to personally come forward to apologize in the media, do you think that with your and me's status, there is a lighter way to deal with it than to resign?"

Ichiro Watari Sugiichiro was taken aback: "Is it so serious? As for making Prime Minister Nakasone personally apologize?"

Masayoshi Saeki slapped his hat on the table and roared angrily: "This is a catastrophe that has made the Russians' nuclear deterrent stronger! Baga, how is our company managing the business department! For the sake of performance, such a frenzied thing can be done?"

The top management of the Toshiba Group is all in a state of trembling, waiting for the verdict of history all day long.

……

The development of the matter is really about the same as the extent estimated by Chairman Saeki Masayoshi - it can also be seen from this point that Saeki Masayo still has a bit of an old vision.

The U.S. media gradually revealed that the people who gave the green light to the high-tech equipment deal with the Lucians, including Minister Hasegawa, confessed that they had been on board with Lucia's beautiful young woman. Not only them, but also the relevant personnel of a company in a Nordic country as an intermediary and follow-up technical support.

Further investigation by the U.S. intelligence department revealed that these beautiful Lucia women were all swallows sent by the KGB.

In this way, it is not only a matter of greed for money, but also a matter of being manipulated by the KGB of the Lucian because of lust.

Only three days after the incident, Prime Minister Nakasone openly and sincerely apologized to the US side at a relevant news conference.

Two days later, the Japanese government invested 100 million yen to publish an advertisement of apology in more than 50 mainstream newspapers and magazines in the United States.

At this point, what else can Masayoshi Saeki and Sugiichiro Watari do? Although the main business of the Toshiba Group is "Toshiba Electronics," and the "Toshiba Machinery" that caused the accident is only a relatively less powerful subsidiary of the Toshiba Group.

But since you are the leader of the group company, you have to take leadership responsibility.

Sugiichiro Watarasato publicly resigned, and Masayoshi Saeki could resign a few days later because he did not manage the company's day-to-day operations.

The president of Toshiba Machinery and the head of the business department involved in the incident were all dismissed from their posts if they were related to the incident, and those who should be investigated for criminal responsibility were investigated for criminal responsibility.

The management of Toshiba Electronics, a subsidiary, was a blessing in disguise - because so many high-level positions in the group company were blamed and resigned, Toshiba Electronics, an innocent passer-by who was completely isolated from the machinery company, naturally had to send emergency cadres to the parent company.

However, it's not that simple. Toshiba Electronics' people who took over quickly found that they did not have the authority to immediately rectify the company's chaos - because the Paris Coordinating Committee, the CIA, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had not yet been withdrawn.

As long as they want, they can paralyze Toshiba for a while on the grounds of in-depth investigation. Or at least it caused Toshiba's management to become extremely unsmooth.

In this case, Saeki Masayoshi in a desperate situation waited for an unexpected robbery visitor.

"Mr. Peterson and Mr. Schwartzman of the Blackstone Foundation, and Mr. Gu Biao of Xiangji Corporation, I would like to make an appointment to visit you tomorrow. ”

Saeki Masayoshi was still a little incomprehensible: "What are they doing here? No, these three people are really a gang, exactly the same as Watari guessed, Gu Biao, this despicable guy, finally emerged from behind Schwartzman's back!"

However, they all had business dealings with electronics companies, and they were only pestering Watari before by virtue of their rank and connections. This time we are in trouble with the machinery company, do they still want to take advantage of the fire to rob? Why?"

No matter what Masayoshi Saeki thinks, with his current situation, it is impossible to refuse to meet.

This is not the beginning of the year, Gu Biao came to him as a recommender, and he could find a way to refuse if he jointly established a foundation to infiltrate the TNC Association.

Now that Gu Biao wants to see him, he has to see him.

……

The next day, Gu Biao finally walked from behind the scenes to the front desk. When he appeared in the office of the chairman of the Toshiba Group, on his left hand was Peterson, the former U.S. business chief, and on his right hand sat Schwartzman, who actually did the dirty work.

"President Saeki, this is all the case, and I'll make a long story short—the reason why this incident was found out so quickly was entirely self-inflicted. Because the industrial and financial circles are very sincere and want to cooperate with the United States to narrow the trade deficit between the United States and Japan, your company has always wanted to blockade the United States and rely on technology monopoly to seek excess deficit.

This is also not in line with the interests of Prime Minister Nakasone and Minister Noboru Takeshita, and have you not noticed that even if you only look at the position of the Toshiba Group in your own country, it is already contrary to the interests of the Shofu government? If you don't have an accident, who will have an accident?"

Saeki Masayoshi's face was like ashes, but he still clutched the armrest of the sofa very stiffly on his finger joints, and asked word by word:

"You want to buy the most advanced lithography machine! You are deliberately targeting Toshiba! Investigating those things! Unfortunately, you still haven't grasped any handle of Toshiba Electronics, and it is only Toshiba Machinery that has the problem. Hehe, I hate it, those idiots from the machine company. If I had known they were messing around, I would have shut down the machinery company......"

Gu Biao smiled proudly: "It doesn't matter if we are deliberately targeting you, I can tell you directly, the final investigation was done by the CIA people and the coordinating committee - however, you still have a chance to atone."

Don't you think that in order to repair US-Japan relations, you, a sinner enterprise that sells industrial machine tools to the Russians, should also sell some industrial machine tools to the Americans to show your sincerity that you have no intention of using technological barriers to continue to earn a huge deficit with the United States?

That way, you can leave more decently, and you won't hurt some big people, and the United States will control the tone so that they don't become too hostile in the industry. ”

Gu Biao This is not a joke, you must know that the Toshiba incident in history was exposed in 87, and then in October 87, Prime Minister Nakasone resigned and went into the wilderness, and was replaced by Takeshita Noborizo - although the apparent reason is that the prime minister and the Tibetan minister have differences on consumption tax reform, and the new consumption tax proposal pushed by the prime minister has been abolished, but more or less, there are also some considerations for the United States to relieve pressure.

After all, Noboru Takeshita is the one who signed the square agreement, and he is also the most servile to the United States in the high-level of the country. At a time when American dad is angry, it is naturally beneficial for foreign relations to let him take over as prime minister.

Now, the Toshiba incident has been exposed a year and a half ahead of schedule, so it is impossible for Nakasone to step down directly, but he will also need the forgiveness of the Americans - who let it still be the Cold War period, during the years of the Cold War, countries such as Ben and West Germany were almost completely puppeted by the United States. He said that his degree of independence at that time was much weaker than that of later generations, and he was powerless to resist the United States at all.

Saeki Masashi heard that Gu Wei was so arrogant, and he was quite arrogant, and finally collapsed completely.

"I'm really cheap, I knew that this guy was so handy, wouldn't I have sold it earlier. I have to wait until ......" Saeki Masayoshi had a despair of self-judgment in his heart.
