Chapter 311: Beaten and Banged
The Toshiba incident was a relatively big incident during the Cold War in the 80s, because the Batumi agreement strictly prohibited the export of high-precision machine tools to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union was looking for purchases all over the world and finally found Toshiba.

Toshiba wants to do this business, as a "normal country" that has created a miracle of economic take-off after the war, it should be no problem to secretly do this kind of business.
So, after coordination with many parties, one night in the early spring of '83, a Soviet cargo ship docked at the Shibaura wharf in the port of Tokyo, transported dozens of boxes of precision parts of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, and then transferred them back to China via Norway - Norway had long sold automatic fire control and sighting system computers to the Soviet Union, which was also strictly forbidden by Batumi.
Basically, they did it successfully, and although the plan was huge and the risks were uncertain, Batumi was completely unaware, if not internally aware.
No one was aware of the fact that any fortress was breached from within, and although the navies of NATO countries reported a marked decrease in the noise of the propellers of Soviet submarines and warships, the difficulty of tracking them, and the suspicion that the Soviet Union had acquired some advanced technology, there was no evidence.
It wasn't until one of the parties to the secret agreement, Kumagai Yoshiin of Wako Company, resigned in anger because of a conflict with his employer, and finally reported the matter to Batumi, that there was an uproar -- various countries condemned, US congressmen smashed Japanese products in public outside the White House, Yasuhiro Nakasone apologized to the United States, and the sanctioned Toshiba repented in the United States, and so on.
As for the deeper one, whether there are concessions in other aspects, such as the Plaza Agreement or something, it is unknown. As a dog with a chain around his neck, he feels that he has been free, and he is grinning his teeth, and the owner just picked up a stick, how can he be worthy of this stick if he doesn't smoke it?
I have to say that the brain circuits of the Japanese are really strange, Kumagai is such an important person, he does not monitor him, does not pay attention to it all the time, does not treat it well, so he specially allows him to conflict with his employer and then resign, and then report to Batumi...... How big is the heart of Toshiba's top management?
What Li Xu has to do is very simple, ask his mother to find a way to detain this batch of goods on the dock, and if he traces it, he will tell the people at Toshiba that he made people do it.
This batch of goods is very sensitive, and Toshiba does not dare to make a big fuss, so it can only be solved by Li Xu in private. Then Li Xu disappeared, and there was a word that Toshiba had offended him, so he wanted to give Toshiba a good look.
Anyway, at the end of last year, when sorting out the properties left to him by his grandfather, Li Xu specially asked Toshiba's shareholders if they had any ideas of selling their shares, but they were all rejected without exception. Even if there are a few hearts, this is just the right way for Li Xu to tell the truth.
In this case, Toshiba can only convey the matter to the Soviets, Lao Maozi is rough in other aspects, but the intelligence front is still very delicate, so they only need to analyze it a little and draw conclusions.
Then, as soon as Li Xu returned to Harvard, Yulia must have posted it as soon as possible, and he could enjoy her to his heart's content.
Of course, it would be a big mistake to think that this is his purpose, if you really want Comrade Yulia to go to her own bed, you can meet for the first time, one of the purposes for her to be an exchange student, isn't that.
But Li Xu has a bigger goal, as long as Andropov, Chernenko, and the map head are in the order of "history", and the map head behaves normally, then he can start the layout in order to strive for the largest piece of the cake in the future.
However, even if it's never too late to start when the layout waits for the map head, the foundation is still laid in advance.
As for the risk, it is far less serious than imagined, and a lot of gossip about this matter in the previous life blew the submarine propeller made by Lao Maozi after getting the machine tool to the gods, but so what? I didn't see that the Soviet Union had not collapsed.
Actually, it's not so much blowing the submarine of Lao Maozi as it is blowing the machine tool of the Japanese, even after 11 years, there are still a lot of people who blow it like this.
In short, if the consequences are really serious, so serious that the United States is in danger, it is definitely not the prime minister who apologizes, and Toshiba can publish the newspaper to express remorse.
So, as a rich second generation, a gentleman, because he failed to enter the shareholder Zhi, he unknowingly seized this batch of goods, and played a little temper, what can he blame?
Maybe some people will think that if he is already a shareholder of Toshiba, maybe he can find out about their tricks earlier, and then he will really become a shareholder of Toshiba.
After all, his father was American anyway, and he was at the top of the class.
As for the CIA and NSA investigations, hey, we've always been very supportive of your actions, and if you don't go to Toshiba for this kind of thing, what do you care about your own people?
Therefore, the reason why his mother put on such a strict appearance in the study was just beating him.
Li Xu did take a big step this time, and as he said, he believed in his judgment of the future, but his family would never agree
However, if he really got out of the basket, his mother would still give him a cover, as for why he was so sure, it was very simple, just look at the three little girls kneeling on the ground in front of him at this moment.
"Young Master Yoshimi, I'm Akina Nakamori. The girl on the far left fell to the ground and said in a trilled tone.
"Young Master Liangshi, I'm Kyoko Koizumi. The girl in the middle, who was also kneeling, followed.
"Young Master Liangshi, I'm an early admirable. The girl on the right, who was similar, finally said.
"Get up. Li Xu, who was wearing a kimono but with an open chest and revealing a strong chest, raised his chin on his side on the tatami mat.
The three girls straightened up as they were told, wearing ordinary dresses, their hair was fluffy and hanging down, and the breath of youth and purity came to their faces.
But they all lowered their eyelids now, and they still looked at themselves, and although they tried their best to make themselves appear calm, the little cringe and fear between their brows was still very obvious.
"Alright, let's step back for now. Li Xu nodded, "Go and freshen up." ā
Saying that, she clapped her hands, and Yasuko quickly came in, and went out of the room with the three girls who had the highest achievements in the future in the 82-year group of the three flowers.
Although my mother said that because of his reckless behavior, this year's birthday present was gone, but after contacting the old housekeeper Hattori, I got a name and phone number from him, and after calling and commanding, Akina Nakamori and the others were sent over, the same as before.
Oh, it's still a little different, Li Xu originally planned to serve the six girls of the 82 year group of flowers in one pot, but they belonged to different brokerage companies, and they couldn't adjust for a while, so they were sent over tonight two days later, and there were only the three of them Akina Nakamori.
Li Xu doesn't care very much, mainly because he happened to play Matsuda Seiko last year, so this year she will play her opponent Akina Nakamori, and the others are just additive.
"Alright, come out. After they left, Li Xu clapped his hands.
Immediately, the sliding door behind her opened, and a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old crawled out on her knees, with short and medium hair, a round face, and a very cute look, but her expression was a little trance.
"Do you have any feelings, Kayo?" asked Li Xu with a chuckle.
"I didn't ...... No, young master. The girl bowed her head and replied with a snort.
"Really not?" Li Xu asked again in an accentuated tone.
The girl hesitated for a few seconds, and finally fell to the ground as if she had made up her mind: "Jia Dai will serve the young master with peace of mind in the future, and there will be no more unrealistic delusions." ā
After looking at her for a moment, Li Xu nodded: "Then give full play to your culinary talent, if one day you make food that everyone praises, I will allow you to go out and open a restaurant and become the most well-known chef." ā
"Yes, young master. Kayo leaned over again.
"Oh, by the way, you can continue to hide and watch while I enjoy them later," Li Xu then added, "You're going to do it in the future anyway." ā
"Yes...... Yes, young master. Kayo shuddered slightly, replied obediently, and then bowed and withdrew.
This is the girl with a great culinary talent in Aichi Prefecture who was introduced before, named Kayo Sato. If Li Xu hadn't intervened, she would have made her debut in another year, and changed her name to Yukiko Okada, and then after several twists and turns, she committed suicide by jumping off the building in 86.
Yes, that's right, it's the one mentioned again and again, the poor man who jumped off the building and committed suicide, and the skull was picked up by fanatical fans as a collection.
There is a reason for the suicide of Kiko or Kayo, because of the long time and the closure of the Japanese entertainment industry, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment. However, judging from several reports of supernatural events, some clues can still be seen, so when Li Xu drew up the initial list of rescues, she was already on the list.
However, although she was admitted to the room last year and sent to train in cooking, the Sato family not only did not object at all, but also felt honored with it-brain circuits, brain circuits-but deep down Sato Kayo was not so peaceful.
After all, in another time and space, her family objected to her becoming an artist, and in the end, she couldn't do it, and three conditions were prescribed: she ranked first in the school exam, got the top five in the central unified exam, and passed the exam of the first choice university.
As a result, she really achieved it, and she was still a rare high degree in the Japanese entertainment industry in the 80s, so even if she struggled under the power of the Kujou family, her inner desire was still not less at all.
And the position of a chef is not very good for complete brainwashing, so Li Xu had to let her see the dark side of the Japanese entertainment industry.
In addition to introducing her to the family's Yamaguchi Momoe, Sayuri Yoshinaga and Natsume Masako, he also let her see with her own eyes how popular idols are called by people like him.
Whether it is an artist who has become famous before, or an artist who has just become popular, they are just playthings above. If you want to be an artist, you must also face these things, and then, how can you choose?
