The Mitsubishi Foundation, one of Japan's four major chaebols, began as the Mitsubishi Chamber of Commerce founded by Yataro Iwasaki and later gained government protection to monopolize Japan's maritime industry. In Meiji 26 (893), the Mitsubishi Joint Venture Company was established. The company has since established a number of subsidiaries through shareholding, and has gradually entered industries such as shipbuilding, mining, railway transportation and trading.

According to the Japanese Commercial Law promulgated in 893, Mitsubishi was reorganized into a Mitsubishi joint venture.

At the same time, Yataro's eldest son, Hisaya Iwasaki, became the third-generation president of the Mitsubishi joint venture. At that time, the company established various departments such as general affairs, banking, sales, coal, mines, and real estate, implemented a decentralized system, and expanded the Nagasaki Shipyard, Kobe, Shimonoseki Shipyard, Kirin Brewery, and other companies, and further expanded the scale of the foundation's management.

In Taisho 5 (1916), Yanosuke's eldest son, KoYata Iwasaki, served as the president of the fourth division. The foundation abolished the ministerial system and established a director in charge of affairs according to the industry.

In 1917, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and Mitsubishi Paper were established, in 198 Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Mining were established, in 1919 Mitsubishi Bank was established, and in 920 Mitsubishi Shipbuilding was divided into subsidiaries such as Mitsubishi Internal Combustion Engine Manufacturing and Mitsubishi Electric. Since then, as Japan has continued to wage wars, the demand for military products in the country has increased, and Mitsubishi's industry has achieved unprecedented development.

After the end of World War II, according to the guidelines of the United Nations, all Japanese zaibatsu were forced to dissolve. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Chemical, etc., were all split into three companies. Yata, who was critically ill at the time, declared, "We did our duty as a citizen to the fullest extent possible, and there is nothing to be ashamed of when we look back on the past." ”。 In Showa 29 (|954), the presidents and chairmen of Mitsubishi zaibatsu's major companies began to form informal organizations such as the Mitsubishi Friday Meeting in order to exchange information and connect with each other.

Unlike the Mitsubishi chaebol before the war, which was centered on the Mitsubishi Headquarters, after the war, the Mitsubishi Group was established as an equal among the companies of the Mitsubishi series. However, the group is more cohesive than other conglomerates. Especially during the period of rapid economic growth in Japan, the core companies of the Mitsubishi Group have made great contributions to the development of Japan's heavy chemical industry.

This is the predecessor of the Mitsubishi Foundation, and now the Mitsubishi Foundation is definitely stronger, after World War II, Japan rose with one heart, coupled with the support of the United States and the United States team to buy Japanese arms during the Vietnam War, so Japan's economy can be said to be wearing wings to take off, although Japan does not have the title of the world's second economic power in later generations, but it is almost an economic power, so the Mitsubishi Foundation is still very powerful.

And the predecessor of the Mitsui consortium was the Mitsui zaibatsu ruled by the Mitsui family. From the 20s of the 8th century, he opened a Mitsui exchange shop, which mainly engaged in money exchange business, and became a wealthy merchant by supporting feudal princes, arranging exchange for the Tokugawa shogunate. During the Meiji Restoration, the Mitsui family transferred to the imperial court to fund the new imperial government, which distributed military rations and military salaries, and developed into a government and business, which was taken care of by the Meiji government and controlled the nation's financial industry. On this basis, in 876, Mitsui Bank, the first bank in Japan, was opened, and Mitsui & Co. was founded. In 190, a general shareholding company was established, and the modern Mitsui zaibatsu was basically formed. After World War I, Mitsui Zaibatsu became the largest monopoly capital group. By the end of World War II, there were 273 direct and affiliated companies and subsidiaries of the Mitsui Zaibatsu. The Mitsui Zaibatsu was disbanded for a time after this. In the early 50's, Mitsui Bank initiated the establishment of the Tsukiyokai, followed by the establishment of the Gokaikai at the level of general managers for the purpose of promoting the merger of Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and in 1960 it was renamed the Nigikai, and gradually became the overall leadership organization of the Mitsui Foundation. At the end of the 50s, the direct and subsidiary companies of the former Mitsui zaibatsu were assembled in a new form of enterprise group and resumed as a large conglomerate. The Mitsui Foundation has more than 150 member companies, its subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

The secret of the success of the Mitsui Consortium is to obtain the long-term price control advantage of resource products by virtue of its participation and shareholding in the most upstream resource enterprises in the industrial chain as a lubricant; At the same time, with the help of a large logistics and trade network, Mitsui further consolidates this advantage. Such a path has been replicated to the maximum extent on the map of the Mitsui Empire, from nuclear power plants to eggs, and almost all imaginable concubine industries have been included.

The Mitsui Foundation's business strategy is to stand behind the company like a shadow, and use its abundant capital, developed trade system and abundant resources to promote the development of the company while also penetrating into every corner of the world's microeconomy. The Mitsui Empire, which is hidden behind various types of companies, large and small, actually has its own set of "logic of action" -- resources, trade, finance, and information are the key words. The global trade network, the convergence of industrial and financial capital, the logistics system characterized by integrated supply chain management, and the robust information collection system are the keys to the efficient operation of such a large business empire.

This is also the reason why Lin Yu intends to cooperate with the Mitsui Foundation.

As for the Fuji Foundation, the Fuji Foundation is one of Japan's four major monopoly zaibatsu and was developed from the Yasuda Zaibatsu before World War II. The Japanese call Mt. Fuji the "Peak of Hibiscus". Fuji Group, also known as Furong Group, was founded in 966. The consortium has a greater influence in various important fields such as Japan's manufacturing, commerce and financial industries, and the Fuji Group is looser than Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo, and the Fuji Group is relatively loose, formerly known as the Yasuda Zaibatsu. Yasuda Bank was renamed Fuji Bank in the same year, and then merged with the former zaibatsu companies such as Nissan, Nezu, Asano, Okura, and Daiken, and was formed with Fuji Bank of the former Yasuda zaebol as the center. The core enterprises in the group include Yasuda Fire Marine Insurance, Yasuda Trust Bank, Showa Shipping, Tokyo Architects, Yasuda Life Insurance, etc., which are affiliated with the former Yasuda chaebol system; Hitachi Manufacturing, Nissan Motor and Nippon Oil and Grease of the former Nissan chaebol system; Nisshinbo, Nissin Milling, Tobu Railway, and Nippon Seiko of the former Nezu zaibatsu system; and the old Asano Japanese steel pipe (the second in crude steel in Japan) and the Keikyu Electric Railway, etc.; Marubeni (general trading company) of the former Daiken zaibatsu system and Daisei Construction of the former Okura zaibatsu system, etc. The Fuji Foundation factions are complex and loosely organized.

Its predecessor was the Yasuda Zaibatsu. Among Japan's four major monopoly chaebols, although Yasuda Zaibatsu is second to Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo, he is in some respects the leader of Japan's modern economy. The development of Yasuda Bank has been quite smooth, and by 954, Yasuda Bank had a deposit of 3.9 billion yen, the largest in the same industry in Japan. At the time of the dissolution of the chaebol in World War II, the paid-in capital of its financial institutions accounted for 72% of the total capital of this type in the country, ranking first among the four major chaebols in Japan.

There are quite a number of giant enterprises in the industrial and commercial enterprises owned by the Yasuda zaibatsu, and its pillar enterprise is Ayukawa Yoshisuke's Nissan Kang Caien, which is a large Kang Cai En, which once dominated the hegemony of the Japanese industrial group, and it includes 77 companies such as Nissan Motor Company, Hitachi Manufacturing, and Nippon Oil and Oil, and is a huge enterprise group. As a result, Ayukawa Yoshisuke has a significant impact not only on the Yasuda Group, but also on Japan's economy and society. In the initial stage of Japan's modern industry, it can be said that Ayukawa Yoshisuke's Nissan Kang Tsaien is in full swing in electronics, communications, optics and other instruments; In the heavy machinery industry, Mitsubishi has a strong strength, but Nissan greatly surpasses Mitsubishi in automobiles.

In terms of commerce, Marubeni Corporation, a subsidiary of the Fuji Group, is also one of the world's largest trading companies, and has played an important role in the internationalization of the Japanese economy.

The Yasuda family was originally a privileged merchant in the Meiji Restoration era, and started out as a coin exchanger. In 863, Zenjiro Yasuda opened Yasudaya Money House in Tokyo with 250,000 taels of gold as a capital, and the development went smoothly. In 879, with the approval of the government, Yasuda founded the Sīying Yasuda Bank based on the Qian Zhuang, and gradually expanded to the fields of textiles, construction, and railway transportation, forming a business group that included a number of enterprises. In 192, Yasuda established the holding company of Yasuda Maintenance Company, thus initially forming the Yasuda Zaibatsu, which had a greater influence on the Japanese economy.

Zenjiro Yasuda is ambitious. In 923, he annexed 0 banks at once; By the early 30s, the Yasuda Zaibatsu had a large consortium of 4 banks, 2 industrial and commercial enterprises, and 6 insurance companies.

Because Zenjiro Yasuda pursued a steady and solid business style and avoided the ups and downs caused by bad debts and overdue debts, Yasuda Bank's deposits amounted to 3.9 billion yen, ranking first in the same industry in Japan. At the end of World War II, the occupation forces disbanded the Japanese chaebol Yasuda, and the paid-in capital of the financial institutions accounted for 172% of the total capital of this type in the country, ranking first among the four major chaebols in Japan.

At the time of the dissolution of the zaibatsu, Yasuda Bank changed its name to Fuji Bank.

After the signing of the Japan-US Treaty in 952, Mitsui, Mitsubishi and other foundations actively recovered, while the Yasuda Group recovered late. It was not until the end of 1960 that Fuji Bank, led by Fuji Bank, began to gather the enterprises of the Yasuda Group before World War II to form Furong Development; In 1966, the organization of the Seremban Club Group was officially established. With Fuji Bank as the core, the Seremban Club has jointly invested in the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprise research center, Seremban Aviation Service, Seremban integrated leasing, Seremban Marine Development, Seremban Information Center, Seremban Petroleum Development and other enterprises, strengthening internal ties and showing strong group behavior.

Zenjiro Yasuda's steady and down-to-earth management style has played a good role in influencing and guiding the entire Fuji Group, and has promoted the rapid development of many enterprises in the group.

The core enterprises of the Fuji Group are Fuji Financial Enterprises, founded by Zenjiro Yasuda, including Fuji Bank, Yasuda Trust Bank, Yasuda Fire Marine Insurance, and Yasuda Life Insurance. Prior to the merger of Dai-ichi Bank and Bank of Japan in 0|97|, Fuji Bank ranked first among all commercial banks in Japan in terms of deposits, and was also in a leading position in domestic exchange and foreign business. In addition, due to the large number of branches, the wide range of operations, and the close relationship with the Tokyo region, its operating conditions are significantly better than those of other chaebol banks.

It's really rare to gather the three big names in Japan at once now, Lin Yu thought about it while looking at Iwasaki Akechi happily, and sure enough, there was an obvious trace of worry on his face.

Since Lin Yu spoke, Iwasaki Akechi was embarrassed to say anything, so he waved his hand and said; "Let them in."

"Yes, sir!" The middle-aged man answered, turned around and was about to invite Mitsui Ryuichi Sī Yamamoto Kazuki outside the door, but was stopped by Iwasaki Akechi suddenly said, "That's it, you tell them to invite them to the conference room first, and Mr. Lin and I will go over in a while." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and went out.

"Mr. Lin, can I talk to you again before inviting Mitsui-kun and Mihon-kun in? Talk about it, just for a moment? ”

The corners of Lin Yu's mouth curved slightly, and the light flashed in his dark eyes, but he said in embarrassment; "But, Mr. Iwasaki, it's a bit rude to have a guest wait outside the door."

"It's only five minutes, five minutes, okay?" A few drops of sweat faintly appeared on Iwasaki's forehead, and the pleading in his tone increased a little, and at the same time, he hated it in his heart, "This damn Mitsui Ryuichi and Yamamoto Kazuki, didn't they just come in the afternoon, they actually came so early." I'm so embarrassed, I should have forcibly pulled the topic back just now when I knew it! But fortunately, they can be found now, and it seems that everyone is in a hurry.

Indeed, Italy is such a big piece of meat, who doesn't want to go up and nibble on two pieces, otherwise he Iwasaki Akeshi would not have invited Lin Yu to Japan as a guest.

Well, Mr. Iwasaki, let's talk about something! It's really not a lot of time! ”

"Okay#, I'll tell you the truth" Iwasaki Akechi gritted his teeth, a flash of resoluteness flashed on his face, "I don't want to hide it, I mainly want to discuss with you this time the possibility of cooperation between the Milan consortium and Mitsubishi, and strive for an additional benefit for everyone in the third round of the Italian Sī Youhua wave." ”

"Mr. Lin, in fact, with such a smart person as you, I don't believe that you will not understand the opportunities and peach battles brought by the sī Youhua draft, so I hope you don't avoid my proposal when you can, and think about it!" When it came to avoiding the part, Iwasaki Akechi also opened up and said, "You also understand that there is no partner who likes or dislikes, it has to be the same interests, even enemies can sit together and drink tea, right?" ”！。
